| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
| MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Thanks for joining us. | ||
| And as you know, you cannot have a democracy if a certain percentage of people don't believe in the results. | ||
| Exactly. And I think that that's part of us on a human level struggled with the most is hearing so many people saying already before votes been cast. | ||
| That was back in April here. I've had conversations for months that are just like that here. | ||
| We could roll the tape for a long time and take it to the rest of your show. | ||
| Because there is a segment of the population that takes Donald Trump's words and they parrot them. | ||
| When he says election interference, time and again I hear from his supporters, election interference, election interference. | ||
| Just today in Colorado, a former county clerk was just sentenced to nine years in prison for essentially election interference, right? | ||
| And this is the part, though, that where are we going one month from now? | ||
| I don't know. What does another January 6th look like? | ||
| I don't know. But there is a segment of the population, it's not a majority, but there is a heavy, potent minority of the American population that believes the last election was taken. | ||
| Joe Biden and Kamala Harris shouldn't be in office. | ||
| And that is the concerning part as we go into this November here. | ||
| It is not just Donald Trump's words and the concern around how Donald Trump could use his power, but it is the power that the American citizens have when they don't believe in the basis of our election. | ||
|

|
A lot of things people don't appreciate is that an investigation in and of itself Is a highly invasive, stressful thing for an individual to go under. | |
| It can cost them a lot of money. | ||
| It can scare their families. | ||
| It can allow the government to come in and to see into their lives in ways that you don't normally get to. | ||
| So even if there are not prosecutions, even if there are not people that are put before military tribunals or in prisons, That doesn't stop just the simple existence of an investigation that can ruin someone's life. | ||
| And they've also, they have promised, they have promised, Jonathan, that this next term, the Trump second term, they will have people there who will execute every one of Trump's orders and demands. | ||
| And they have promised that they, well, you know, Bannon and Kash Patel. | ||
| Just looked at the camera and said they were coming after us. | ||
| They have promised we will not miss next time. | ||
| We will find our targets and we will throw them in jail. | ||
|

|
And that includes Morning Joe. And you're right. | |
| This time around, it's worth underscoring, there won't be guardrails. | ||
| There won't be the Don McGans or Jeff Kellys in the world who try to stop Trump. | ||

He's pledged this time will just be loyalists. | |
| Friday, 4th of October, Anno Domini, 2024. | ||
| Ben Harnwell here, sitting in for Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Well then, an astonishing story covered by what the Washington Post emerged, that in a three-way call in Arizona, it had become evident that, and these figures are estimated, between 98,000 and 148 50,000 registered voters who'd been on the voter rolls for many decades had never supplied evidence that they were actually citizens of the United States. | ||
| And in this panicky three-way phone call, I think we'll put this up on our social media, this article, because it is absolutely amazing. | ||
| Katie Hobbs, the governor, And her Secretary of State and Attorney General were discussing what to do about it. | ||
| Now we're going to discuss that phone call. | ||
| And with me this morning, therefore, Gina Swoboda, the chair of Arizona GOP, and Caroline Wren, senior advisor to Carrie Lake, going to go through this. | ||
| First of all, Gina, let's start with you on this one. | ||
| There's a lot of substance in this call, revelations, I think, that we're going to have to get through this morning. | ||
| But my first question is, who made this call and how did it get out? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a great question. Thanks for having me, Benjamin. | |
| So, who recorded the tape? | ||
| The media has been sending public record requests to the secretary, Secretary Fontes, to Attorney General Mays, and to Governor Hobbs. | ||
| And thus far, I believe two of the three have said they don't have a tape. | ||
| I don't think anybody comes out looking good. | ||
| They knew there was a problem. | ||
| It was a systemic issue at Motor Vehicle. | ||
| They rant and rave at us about why do people not have faith in the process, and then they sit on the information that we haven't been properly checking for citizenship for at least 100,000 voters for at least 20 years, right? | ||
| So I have my suspicion. | ||
| Only one of the three sounded like they were maybe in a Broadway play sticking up for the rights of the American voter, and the other two were kind of like, We're good to go. | ||
| Just to be clear here, we're talking about people who are eligible to vote. | ||
| This is the bizarre thing about America. | ||
| They're eligible without having ever given evidence that they are American citizens. | ||
| They are eligible to vote in the federal election, but they're not eligible to vote in state or local elections because those elections require evidence. | ||
| And that just shows you what a whole mess this system is. | ||
| Caroline Wren, does this not? | ||
| Oh, let me go for the quote. | ||
| This is one of the many, many quotes in this article. | ||
| This is Katie Hobbs speaking. | ||
| When this goes public, it's going to have all the conspiracy theorists in the globe, in the world, coming back to re-litigate the past three elections. | ||
| At least in Arizona. | ||
| And it's going to validate all of their theories about illegal voting in our elections. | ||
| That's a direct quote from the governor, the actual governor. | ||
| Caroline Wendt, she's right, actually, isn't she? | ||
| That this will make everyone who's ever queried the elections come out and say, well, hang on, we were right all along. | ||
| In Arizona, we already have very little confidence in these elections. | ||
| She is right in saying this will only further that. | ||
| But I remember when this story broke, it was actually about two weeks ago, but I was on a plane on my way to Arizona. | ||
| The first person I sent it to was Gina Swoboda. | ||
| And they were trying to kind of bury it. | ||
| But what was shocking to me is the Maricopa County recorder, Steven Richer, put out on his Twitter, he said, oh, actually, you know, we've been huddling about this privately for a week, trying to figure out what to do. | ||
| And I immediately thought, so, well, so they've known about this for, we're not sure exactly when they figured it out, but he said for at least a week. | ||
| And instead of coming forward and being transparent with the public, the Democrat governor, the Democrat secretary of state, the Democrat attorney general, and others just privately huddled. | ||
| And this call was during that window panicking, saying, what the heck do we do? | ||
| And then they went into strategy mode. | ||
| How do we strategize to actually keep these people on the voter rolls and see if we can bury it as much as possible? | ||
| And to me, that was — I thought that was just unbelievable when I heard that, and that they were — Steve and Richard wouldn't even admit that they knew about this for a week and didn't take it public. | ||
| And so it is a tremendous amount of voters. | ||
| I mean, it's 208—first they said 98,000. | ||
| Then they said, oh, wait, never mind. | ||
| It's 218,000. | ||
| For context, the margin of victory in the 2022 governor's race, that was 17,000 votes. | ||
| The presidential race was 10,000 votes. | ||
| Abe Homiday's attorney general race was 200 and something votes. | ||
| So 218,000 Voters, where we cannot confirm their citizenship, I actually think it's closer to 500,000. | ||
| But that is a massive number in a state like Arizona. | ||
| And something similar happened in Oregon, by the way. | ||
| Oregon. And they were kicked off the road rules. | ||
| But in Arizona, where we have razor-thin margins, nope, let's leave them on. | ||
| Just everybody look away. | ||
| Caroline, that quote from... | ||
| Katie Hobbs, and it's going to validate all of their theories about illegal voting in our elections. | ||
| She adds, even though we all know it's not true, but forget that part. | ||
| The fact that it's going to validate all their theories. | ||
| What she's basically saying here, let me ask you this. | ||
| What she's basically saying here, what the governor is saying in this secret phone call with her two highest-placed collaborators, is effectively, it is a validation of everything that Carrie Lake It is, but I love that they say this will validate their theories that we want illegals to vote. | ||
| They're not theories. Ruben Gallego, Kerry's opponent, has voted twice to allow illegal citizens to vote. | ||
| The Democratic Party, just entirely, except for I think one or two Democrats, just voted against the SAVE Act. | ||
| This isn't shocking news. | ||
| They openly say they want illegal aliens to be able to vote in our elections, and then they vote on legislation to that effect. | ||
| So we are not conspiracy theorists. | ||
| We are just simply calling out their own words and their own votes. | ||
| And then it is really shocking, though, when we've been saying, of course, this is happening. | ||
| It's happening all over the country. | ||
| And then we have the firm, concrete evidence. | ||
| Like, still nothing happens. | ||
| They take it to the Arizona Supreme Court, and the Arizona Supreme Court, once again, sweeps it under the rug. | ||
| And here we are all, yet again, 30 days after the election, with no confidence in our election systems. | ||
| Gina Swoboda. The other interesting thing here is that these aren't these, whatever figure you're going at, whether you're going for 98,000, 148,000, turned in 18,000, it is a movable feast. | ||
| Caroline Wren suggested that it could be as high as 500,000. | ||
| What is interesting here, you tell me now, are these, is this a neutral selection? | ||
| Of voters across the board, some leading Democrats, some leading Republicans, or is it slightly more sinister than that? | ||
| Do these voters skew in a certain direction? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. So here's part of the problem. | |
| Secretary Fontes refuses to provide the required transparency for anyone to ascertain with any degree of certitude exactly what this group of voters is, okay? | ||
| They are representing to us that this new group with the new bucket, the total is 218,000, and they're saying 79,000 are Republicans, right? | ||
| So the largest group, again, is still Republicans. | ||
| And these people have purportedly all attested that they were citizens when they registered to vote, right? | ||
| They checked this little box. So—but what degree of confidence can anybody have when the number keeps changing and now we have this leaked tape of the three of them on a call basically saying, oh, no, you know, what are we going to do? | ||
| This is terrible politically. | ||
| This is supposed to be about the security of the system. | ||
| You can't do systemic voter list maintenance within 90 days of an election. | ||
| That's federal law. The reason in America we are trapped with this whole federal-only voter nonsense is because Congress passed that NVRA, OK? So Arizona's fighting, and we're at the Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit fighting over this. | ||
| And in the midst of all this, Monday is the voter registration deadline in Arizona, okay? | ||
| At 11.59 p.m. | ||
| on Monday, that's your last shot. | ||
| Anyone who's listening who knows anyone in Arizona, get them registered. | ||
| As we're having this conversation, we have shifted the voting demographics in Arizona. | ||
| So Republicans now have 60,000 more votes statewide, more registered voters statewide than we had when we went into the last election cycle. | ||
| So, yes, these people were always going to get to vote a federal ballot. | ||
| Now they're going to get to vote for the state and the ballot measures. | ||
| But at the end of the day, I personally am sick of hearing the left rant at us about the doubts that people have in the system when they are the ones creating the doubts because they are the ones obstructing transparency. | ||
| Either let us have oversight, as we're supposed to in the NBRA. I have litigation that I filed months ago to require the secretary to tell us exactly how you're keeping the voter list rolls clean. | ||
| And they stonewalled us at every turn. | ||
| Oh, no, everything's fine. Go home. | ||
| Nothing to see here. And now here we are. | ||
| And it's at the penultimate moment. | ||
| We start voting Wednesday, guys. | ||
| And they're like, by the way. | ||
| Oh, by the way. So it's ridiculous. | ||
| It's got to be stopped. And we've got to get this kind of person out of office as a chief election official. | ||
| They have no business being there. | ||
| Gina, on that point, just give me one minute and then we go into the break. | ||
| I think our Arizonans scratching their heads, looking at the state infrastructure, saying | ||
| basically, guys, you had one job to do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
100 percent. | |
| This is your main role as the chief election official of the state of Arizona, is to help | ||
| our county recorders. | ||
| You know, he's not giving the list of these voters to the county recorders, and they're | ||
| the ones who are responsible. | ||
| I've got people all over the state of Arizona that got a license before 96 that are terrified | ||
| something's wrong with their voter record. | ||
| They're calling their county recorder like, is it me? | ||
| Is it me? And they don't know because he is sitting there trying to do a top-down system in a bottom-up state because that's what Marxist, leftist Democrats do. | ||
| That's who these people are at the end of the day. | ||
| And given any opportunity to take power, they do. | ||
| And so we have to— Go back to the bottom-up system, empower the county recorders to do their job. | ||
| You know, this whole thing was only discovered because of a staffer at the county level who was doing their job, doing routine maintenance, oversight, auditing the records, making sure everything was good to go. | ||
| And they were like, hey, why is this non-eligible person here? | ||
| There has been no feedback from our chief election official other than to do a CYA maneuver and a bunch of PR. Gina, stand by. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| Another thing, as I say, we're going to have this article, we'll push this out on social media so you can all read this yourself. | ||
| And it's definitely worth getting into. | ||
| Katie Hobbs, the governor of Arizona, Who's sitting in a chair that, by rights, Carrie Lake should be sitting in, suggested in this secret phone call that the issue would best be resolved with the court decision. | ||
| And I quote her directly now. | ||
| That would provide the cover, the legal cover. | ||
| And she suggested that litigation should come from someone who's friendly to us. | ||
| Now, Gina Swobody, that That aside, that strategic thinking on behalf of the Governor, it suggests to me a relationship between The state political branch, the executive branch, and the state judicial branch, that should not exist. | ||
| The idea that they're thinking of shunting this over to the courts to get them, the political leadership, out of a difficulty that their own incompetence has brought them into, even though, of course, to acknowledge that this issue goes back Two decades, and none of these people were in, none of these three participants in this phone call were in power two decades ago. | ||
| This is a long-standing issue, but the idea that with all the attention That people have brought to the issue of election integrity in Arizona over the last four years, that they are weeks away from this existential knife-edge election. | ||
| And this issue hadn't even been, as in no one had been even bothered to go through and check these things. | ||
| That quote, tell me, what does that say to you about the political leadership, the present political leadership in Arizona? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, isn't it incredibly ironic that the left who has done nothing but beat up on the right for attempting to go to the courts to seek remedies when the rules were changed on us in 20, when the equipment failed in 22? | |
| This is lawfare, right? | ||
| This is another form of lawfare. | ||
| It's like, We have completely screwed something up in the process level. | ||
| We have not provided transparency. | ||
| What are we going to do? | ||
| Let's run to the courts to save us after we've just been bashing everybody as election deniers for the last four years. | ||
| And when they're talking about the friendly lawsuit, they're talking about Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer who lost his primary. | ||
| So they had this thing like set up. | ||
| We'll have you go sue. | ||
| But really, you're on our side and you're going to help us get the outcome we want. | ||
| And then, you know, I will just say for the court, the court is literally our state Supreme Court is just looking at what the federal law is. | ||
| The legislature, the state party, you know, myself, we looked at what the federal law is and we said there's no way we can disenfranchise these voters and Deprive them of due process under the 14th Amendment to our beautiful, beautiful Constitution this close to the election. | ||
| It can't be done. So it was just an epic fail and they flew to the courts and basically they're throwing the courts under the bus now. | ||
| We have two Supreme Court justices on our ballot that, you know, I find their opinions helpful and conservative for the people of the state of Arizona, and I hope they retain their seats. | ||
| But this was like a win-win-win. | ||
| It's like, A, they're going to get out from under their failure to lead and to provide transparency and execute their core mission of the Secretary of State. | ||
| B, they have their little friendly cipher over their recorder, Stephen Richer, filing the suit on their behalf. | ||
| C, now they've thrown the court under the bus and they have a precedent. | ||
| So if they want to shove anything else in there, you know, there's nothing that can really be done at this point. | ||
| So I'm not done for my part. | ||
| We're going to We're moving forward to seek the transparency required to know there is someone other than these people looking at that list to provide assurances to the public that that is indeed the people who are on this list. | ||
| And this is the finite number. | ||
| And we're going to go after the fact and make sure we clean it up. | ||
| But we need to know who these people are. | ||
| So that has to happen. | ||
| But I agree with you 100 percent. | ||
| I don't want to hear another single word about election denialism when people are going to come out with this kind of nonsense days away, a couple of weeks away, and now days away from voting, and you're crushing the confidence of our people, and then you're going to go whining on MSNBC about the terrible Trumpian people who don't have confidence in the system. | ||
| Gee, I wonder why. Why would we not have confidence when this is the kind of garbage that we get from people that are supposed to lead? | ||
| Absolutely. Caroline, you were mentioning before that the votes in play here, the potential votes in play here, could have swayed a number of previous elections over the last few years. | ||
| And this article cites, I think it's the Attorney General, saying, can you imagine telling 67,000 Republicans that they can't vote on the abortion initiative? | ||
| That's another issue then, isn't it? | ||
| This forthcoming vote that could easily be swayed by this revelation and by how the state powers decide to resolve it. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, this is funny to me when you read that article. | ||
| But in their spin, they're trying to say that this batch of 98,000, I guess right there she said 45,000, then 98,000, now 218,000 unconfirmed U.S. citizen voters, that they're majority Republicans and so that they're just trying to protect Republicans. | ||
| But if you believe that Katie Hobbs and Adrian Fontes and Chris Mays spent a week in a back room trying to decide how to do what's in the best interest of preserving Republican voters on the voter rolls, then I have some beachfront property in Scottsdale to sell you. | ||
| Give me a break. Nobody's buying this. They're lying. They always lie. They're not trying to | ||
| cover up. This was all calculated, and they did it intentionally. They've known about this, | ||
| is what I believe, and that now they just wanted to come out and say, oh, this happened because | ||
| they know if they're successful in trying to steal this election from Republicans in Arizona | ||
| after the fact. If there are lawsuits that would have brought this out, then it could have been | ||
| problematic. So now they went and got a ruling with the Supreme Court without actually giving | ||
| all the facts to them, doing a ruling based off of 98,000 voters who now are going to be | ||
| able to vote without proving citizenship, which is illegal. | ||
| So the spin out of the Democrats is ridiculous here. | ||
| But my focus now is, look, I have watched as so many court cases have gone and failed to the Arizona I don't have any faith in the court systems anymore. | ||
| And so we have to win this race and on, I guess, just effort alone and trying to swap the vote and getting out. | ||
| And so Gene, I do know, is working on lawsuits and different things. | ||
| But for me, I'm really focused on getting more bodies in Arizona to help us, not only with poll observers, but also with chasing the vote. | ||
| If you don't live in Arizona, if you go to actually It will pay for your travel and your lodging to come and help volunteer with us. | ||
| If you go to tpaction.com slash commit 100. | ||
| If you live in Texas, you want to get a bus full of people together to come out in Arizona and help, please do that and go to that website, sign up and they will help you do it. | ||
| And if you want to contact the Carrie Lake campaign directly about volunteering, you can email Mack, M-A-K, at CarrieLake.com. | ||
| He can help you. If you live in Arizona and you want to be a poll observer, go to the azgop.com slash observer. | ||
| I'll put all these on my social media as well. | ||
| But my take right now is we need all hands on deck. | ||
| There is no road to the White House that doesn't run through Arizona. | ||
| There's no road to a Senate majority with Carrie Lake. | ||
| We need her in there. That runs through Arizona. | ||
| We have two extremely tight congressional seats that could determine the congressional majority. | ||
| That runs through Arizona. | ||
| We have Supreme Court races. I mean, everything is running through Arizona right now, and we need the War Room Posse's help. | ||
| We need your army. Please come and help us. | ||
| And Caroline, where do people go on social media to stay in touch with what you're doing? | ||
| Sure. It is at Caroline Wren on Twitter, Gitter, and Truth Social. | ||
| Caroline Nguyen, Senior Advisor to Carrie Lake. | ||
| Thank you very much. Gina Swoboda, where do people go to stay in touch with your analysis? | ||

She's all over this. Ladies, thank you very much. | |
| Catch up again with you soon. God bless. | ||
| Well, now, the Biden administration, just towards the very last month of its time in office, has announced £1.5 billion to invest in four hundred Transmission projects supporting nearly a thousand miles of electrical lining. | ||
| And that comes on the back of news that in some states, and I'm looking at the map geographically, we're talking sort of, I thought when I saw this, this was actually due to Due to Hurricane Helen, but Florida, North Carolina, what have you, some states had seen power costs skyrocket by some 800%, but it's nothing to do with the hurricane. | ||
| Dave Walsh, good morning. Tell me, what is this phenomenal increase in energy prices due to? | ||
| Well, across, okay, PJM, which is the 13-state region comprising, you know, the 40 or so million people, we've got now a tenfold increase in the annual capacity auction, meaning that's where generating companies bid in to what their power is going to cost three years out into the grid, and those costs are up tenfold. | ||
| Why is that? PJM has shuttered huge amounts of capacity in the last 10 years, shut down nearly 40,000 gigawatts of coal fire, 162,000 gigawatts of coal and nuclear power across the last 10 years, displaced a lot of that, and more recently in the next five years will displace up to 20% of their total energy mix with expensive wind and solar that run only on average about five to six hours a day. | ||
| So you've got coal plants and nuclear plants coming offline that ran 100% of the time, 85% to 100% of the time, being shuttered and displaced with stuff that runs only about 24% of the time, creating a massive shortfall in electricity. | ||
| Dave, just hold on to this point. | ||
| We'll carry on two minutes after this short break. | ||
| With the massive tax hikes proposed by Harris, an almost 40% top income tax rate, 7% increase to the corporate tax, a capital gains tax on unrealized gains, and the fact that she's proposing to add almost $2 trillion to a current $2 trillion deficit. | ||
| You might be thinking it's time to make more of your savings tax sheltered and inflation sheltered. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | |
| Welcome back. | ||
| Dave Walsh, please carry on the point you were making for the break. | ||
| Breakdown for the process. | ||
| Where has this 800% increase in energy prices in southeastern United States? | ||
| What is the cause of this phenomenal hike? | ||
| Well, PJM, for the audience, is a 13-state region including West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Virginia, eastern Ohio. | ||
| That region of the country, that section of the grid for the country, These grids conduct annual capacity auctions. | ||
| The generation companies that have power plants have bid in for three years from now costs that are tenfold higher than present generation costs due to the mass over-absorption in that time period of very part-time solar, wind, and battery storage resources. | ||
| Batteries operate two to four hours a day. | ||
| Solar up there in that section of the country, four and a half to five hours a day. | ||
| Wind is operational about seven to seven and a half hours a day, meaning the reciprocal of the time, those resources supply nothing. | ||
| And given that that's all the capacity being added up there over the next five to ten years, you've got basically a massive electricity shortage growing as demand looks like it's growing. | ||
| From 5% to 7% per year. | ||
| In places like Virginia, with a lot of server centers, demand growing up to 7% per year. | ||
| We have capacity increases by this part-time generation being added, aggregating only about 5% across 10 years cumulatively. | ||
| Because of the shortfall in this part-time resource being added while huge amounts of coal and nuclear that run all of the time have been taken offline systematically across PJM. And this is happening across most of the country. | ||
| So you'll see electricity retail rates probably double up there in four to five years in those aforementioned states as the generation cost of new capacity being bid in is ten times more costly. | ||
| For example, Dominion Energy building an offshore wind farm at ten billion dollars that for the same capacity for a combined cycle would cost about a billion five gas-fired combined cycle. | ||
| So the sheer costs of these renewables also being bid in are very, very high on a net basis. | ||
| When you factor out all of the majority of time, they're not operational due to nighttime or lack of wind. | ||
| Dave, could you stand by for one quick moment? | ||
| Because we have a short clip which we're going to play that we've lined up to accompany your discourse today. | ||
| So here's the truth, everyone. | ||
| The United States under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris right now already produces more energy than any other nation on Earth and more energy than the U.S. ever has in the past, including the Trump administration. | ||
| In fact, the Biden Department of Energy helped open the second of two nuclear reactors in Georgia in May. | ||
| Those are the first nuclear plants in the U.S. in 30 years. | ||
| Just in July, Biden signed a bipartisan bill into law aimed at vastly growing domestic nuclear energy. | ||
| So Chris Hayes there seems to be living in a different United States, I think, from most of the Americans then, right? | ||
| Yeah, we need to fact check the shameless fact checker here. | ||
| I mean, some egregious lies. | ||
| Global energy consumption. | ||
| China electricity consumes 159 billion kilowatt hours of electricity. | ||
| The U.S. 96 billion. | ||
| China 66% more electricity consumed than the U.S. Overall energy, all-in energy with oil, gas, and everything else, China's 81% more ExeJoules per year than the U.S., 170 quadrillion. | ||
| ExeJoules, the U.S., 94.3 quadrillion. | ||
| The US on total energy consumption is kind of flatlined across about a 15-year period. | ||
| China has doubled in that same time period. | ||
| Now, who has shut down the nuclear industry in this country? | ||
| The Democrat Party from 1985 through just last year has been on an egregious campaign | ||
| due to concerns with radioactivity, spent fuel, and conflating nuclear war with electricity | ||
| production, which is wrong to conflate. | ||
| They've worked hard to shut down the nuclear industry in the United States for a 30-year | ||
| period, and they've succeeded with massive—probably we've had 30 nuclear plant shutdowns and one | ||
| built under their efforts to shut down nuclear. | ||
| So yeah, Vogel is the only nuclear plant added to our national fleet of nuclear reactors in 30 years because of 30 years of Democrat policy state-by-state egregiously opposed to any nuclear and shutting down that which we have. | ||
| They've been completely responsible for the shortage of nuclear in this country by over-regulating it and demanding that it be shut down and blocking the storage capacity for spent fuel such as Yucca Mountain. | ||
| So they've been the cause of the lack of nuclear power growth in the country. | ||
| And to underline the point, that is the output of that, the consequence of that is $800. | ||
| 800% energy. | ||
| Now you've got a shortage of continuous duty capacity, base load capacity, massive across MISO and PGM that are 60 million people, 70 million people of the US population, grossly affected by now these power shortages. | ||
| And we've already seen in the four years of Biden, 30% increases in electricity costs | ||
| across the US. | ||
| That's going to now more than double across the next four to five years, based on the | ||
| shortfall of electricity that we're generating while they're trying to electrify everything. | ||
| Complete mystery. | ||

Dave, well, it's absolutely outstanding. | |
| Thank you very much. Where do folks go to learn more about energy in the U.S. right now? | ||
| Thank you, Ben. You can find me on X, Getter, and True Social at Dave Walsh Energy. | ||
| Thank you, Ben. Thanks Dave. | ||
| Thanks very much. God bless. Well, so we're all entranced watching the VP debate, right? | ||
| And that's naturally dominated press attention over the last few days, seeing a Republican candidate absolutely smash the Democrats' opponent. | ||
| But that has overshadowed somewhat another debate where exactly the same thing has taken place. | ||
| A Republican has smashed The Democrats. | ||
| Joe Kent up in Washington State. | ||
| Good morning. The local press there, Seattle Press, seems quite positively or surprised, actually, that you did quite well in this debate against Congresswoman Marie Glusenkamp-Perez. | ||
| Man, I'm having a hard time hearing you. | ||
| I heard a little bit of your opening there. | ||
| I'm not sure. Can you guys still hear me? | ||
| We can hear you perfectly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. I'll do my best. | |
| Yeah, it was quite the interesting debate, quite the contrast. | ||
| Look, my Democrat opponent, like Democrats everywhere, they can't defend their record. | ||
| She got out there and attempted to talk about all the great things she's doing in Washington, D.C., and the last thing that she wanted to talk about was what's front and center on the people's minds. | ||
| The inflation, the open border. | ||
| We have a fentanyl epidemic here in the district. | ||
| And that's the last thing she wanted to talk about. | ||
| So actually, for me, it was rather simple. | ||
| I just had to hold her to account for her record. | ||
| And her record is atrocious, just like Kamala Harris and just like Joe Biden. | ||
| So that's what I attempted to do throughout the evening. | ||
| The Democrats will do anything but talk about these issues. | ||
| That's why they go off all the different petty attack lines and insults. | ||
| But the crowd was really, I think, holding her to account because the people there that were present in the district, they're feeling the effect of the inflation. | ||
| They're having a hard time filling a tank of gas because our gas prices have skyrocketed, the price of the grocery store, and then also just the fentanyl and crime epidemic that we're feeling. | ||
| I also held her to account for her disastrous votes for the continuing wars throughout the entire world, prioritizing foreign aid and foreign wars. | ||
| Over the needs that we have here in the district. | ||
| And so really it was quite the contrast. | ||
| I hope more people get a chance to check out the debate because really it just it really contrasted the America First agenda versus the failed policies of the Democrat Party. | ||
| And of course, I mean, even the Seattle Times indicates that the audience leaned, and I quote it in here, leaned decidedly pro-Kent, and at times broke out into spontaneous applause for you and jeers for Galoos and Camp Perez. | ||
| Tell me, that in and of itself is a particularly... | ||
| Can you hear me, Joe? Now I got you. | ||
| Yeah, if you can just give me that question, I think I have you now. | ||
| Yeah, okay. So my question was that the Seattle Times mentions, confesses, admits that the audience of a few hundred lends decidedly towards you and that the audience at times broke out into applause for you and jeers for Glusenkamp Perez. | ||
| That in and of itself, when that happens, I think that is probably more illustrative for the rest of the state. | ||
| Who's watching this, of how the arguments are playing down, than anything that either side will say. | ||
| When an audience is so committed and persuaded by one sort of arguments and a debate, that is pretty impressive and convincing, right? | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| Obviously, I had some of my diehard guys there wearing Kent t-shirts. | ||
| She had a lot of her diehard supporters there wearing her campaign gear as well. | ||
| But there was also just a lot of regular people that attended. | ||
| There was students from the college. | ||
| And there was a lot of folks who, to me, appeared to be not leaning one way or another at the beginning of the debate. | ||
| The group that put on the actual debate itself, I think, did a good job Of advertising this across the board to both Republicans, Democrats, and undecided folks. | ||
| So really, again, these policies, when they actually are exposed, they do not sit well with the people of Washington's third congressional district, Washington State, and I think the entire country. | ||
| I mean, she had a very, very challenging task. | ||
| She had to defend voting for $4 trillion in new inflationary spending. | ||
| She had to defend leaving the border wide open while fentanyl kills our citizens here at night. | ||
| She also had to defend voting to put biological men into women's sports and women's spaces in our schools. | ||
| And she had to explain to the American people and the people of the district why she's voting to, you know, prioritize these disastrous wars overseas. | ||
| As opposed to our own citizens. | ||
| And really, the people let her hear it. | ||
| I mean, everybody was respectful. | ||
| It wasn't incredibly raucous. | ||
| I've done a lot of debates. I thought this one was fairly, you know, there was some booze. | ||
| There was some yelling. There was some clapping. | ||
| But I didn't think it was out of control or anything. | ||
| But when she attempted to defend her record and tell people, you know, hey, why this inflation was really not that big of a deal, and they'll get it under control if you just give her a couple more years, people did not respond well to that just because of the state that our district's in right now. | ||
| Well, as a former Special Forces Green Beret, you're made for the fight and you've got, I think, a month left. | ||
| Now, tell me, what can people do if they want to assist you in this fight? | ||
| Where can they go? How can they support the campaign? | ||
| Give me a minute, please, Joe. | ||
| Sure. Yeah, please go to joekentforcongress.com. | ||
| The only advantage my opponent has right now is that she's outspending us by about four to one. | ||
| The Democrats, I think, are going to spend probably around $12 million in this race. | ||
| They are flooding their airwaves right now. | ||
| And what they're trying to do is they're trying to drive my negatives up. | ||
| And they're trying to get people who are going to vote for Donald Trump at the top of the ticket to also vote for her. | ||
| So they're flooding the airwaves of this message that she's some sort of a moderate Democrat. | ||
| So if people are out there and they know folks in Washington 3, just tell them they got to vote straight Republican ticket. | ||
| I mean, basically, that's the message throughout the entire country, I think. | ||
| Vote straight Republican ticket. | ||
| These Democrats all support open borders. | ||

| He's warning that this meltdown could lead to a 50% market crash, the total collapse of the U.S. dollar and violent riots in our streets. | ||
| The stakes are higher than ever, folks, and if you're not prepared, you could lose everything. | ||
| But Jim Rickards isn't just predicting disaster. | ||
| He's laying out five critical steps you need to take now to protect yourself, your family, and your financial future. | ||

| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| Astonishing. With me on the line is Mike Lindell, who knows Tina well. | ||
| Mike, tell me, what was your first reaction when you heard this sentence come out? | ||
| It's one of the biggest travesties ever in the United States history. | ||
| This is nine years for doing her job. | ||
| Tina Peters never had a jaywalking ticket. | ||
| She served as a clerk from 2019 to 2023, an election clerk in Colorado. | ||
| The people of Mesa County came to her and The spring of 2021 and said, hey, we have problems. | ||
| It was a local election. | ||
| And said, hey, there's problems here. | ||
| And she didn't believe it. | ||
| So she dug into it. | ||
| And then the state of Colorado, Dominion and Jenna Griswold, the Secretary of State, went to delete all of the 2020 election, which was illegal. | ||
| And they ordered all the clerks in Colorado to do what's called the trusted bill. | ||
| Tina did that, but she made a backup of her computer like you're supposed to. | ||
| That's where... You're supposed to do this. | ||
| So this goes on. | ||
| Then she became, of course, a conspiracy theorist, an election denier over the last three and a half years. | ||
| And this led to her now, she was charged with and felt guilty of, conspiracy to commit impersonation and An account of official misconduct. | ||
| This judge was actually, it was horrific what he did. | ||
| He actually called her names when he sentenced her yesterday. | ||
| Said, you've done damage to our election. | ||
| People don't trust it now. | ||
| Called her a fraudster, basically a fraudster. | ||
| And it was just horrific, the hate in his heart. | ||
| And he sentenced her to nine years in prison. | ||
| She's a gold star mom. | ||
| She's a hero to this country. | ||
| And he just said, you know, you've been such a problem because you've never admitted what you've done or whatever. | ||
| And basically she's saying, hey, I'm not gonna change my mind and lie about what I've seen and what I know and what I've done. | ||
| And this is lawfare at its highest. | ||
| It's horrific. | ||
| The only thing I see is, it's so ridiculous, nine years. | ||
| Even if she was guilty of something, that the appeal, she should be able to get an appeal. | ||
| Once again, evil is greedy. | ||
| If they'd have gave her a year or so, they would have probably said, well, we're not going to appeal it. | ||
| But the shame is she's got to sit in prison. | ||
| She asked for probation or to be out by the appeal. | ||
| She asked for all this, and he said, no, you're a danger to society, and you deserve to stay in prison for all of this. | ||
| It's so bad. It's a shame. | ||
| It just breaks my heart. So this 68-year-old woman who's never hired a parking ticket is such a menace to society. | ||
| She's not even allowed to be free while she goes to her appeal. | ||
| I mean, you're not only related to this because you're a friend of Tina Peters. | ||
| Lest we forget that investigators investigating the Tina Peters case also issued a search warrant on you in relation to this case. | ||
| Yeah, this is why they came and stole my phone two years ago. | ||
| And now they're coming out. | ||
| They didn't want to make this case. | ||
| Anything about our elections, everybody. | ||
| But now the media is grabbing and saying, oh, it was all because you contested the election and stuff. | ||
| In fact, one of the headlines says, Tina Peters allowed conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell inside the voting machine. | ||
| That's not true. I didn't even know Tina Peters in the spring of 21. | ||
| I didn't know her until August when I had the cyber symposium when people showed up from all around the country. | ||
| This is what the media now is going to spin this as, how dare you speak out about our elections or you could end up like Tina Peters. | ||
| This is what it's all about. | ||
| This is a very, very planned, orchestrated, evil attack on our country and on people that are trying to save our country and secure our elections. | ||
| And it's so sad. | ||
| Tina, she was so brave. | ||
| She waved goodbye to everyone and how her faith in God has kept her... | ||
| Kept her, I guess, composed during all this. | ||
| I can't imagine what, you know, what she last night sleeping in that jail. | ||
| And the judge even made it worse. | ||
| He made things, you know, one after another. | ||
| And so we just pray for her. | ||
| I pray for her and pray that she can stay courageous. | ||
| And I also pray that everyone else sees this for what it is. | ||
| This is a travesty. | ||
| This is an attack, just like our great real president gets attacked. | ||
| And all they've used is the justice system to just attack citizens. | ||
| Mike Lindell, thanks very much. | ||
| Look, Steve, you're going to come back on the show, aren't you, in an hour's time? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Towards the close of the show in an hour. | ||
| Thanks Mike for giving that analysis on your friend and our friend as well, Tina Peters. | ||
