steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
donald j trump
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
unidentified
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
donald j trump
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
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.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
You're in the War Room.
natalie winters
It's Tuesday, October 8th in the year of our Lord, 2024.
It's Natalie G. Winters coming at you live from Washington, D.C. Now, make no mistake, we are definitely pulling ahead.
You can see all the polls.
It's looking quite good for the Trump campaign, but it's still very much a war.
It's going to be trench warfare, duking it out all the way until November 5th.
And I don't just use the term war because we're here in the war room.
I use it because that's the name of the new book coming out from Bob Woodward.
That's right. They're wheeling out the old cast of characters to try to engage in some good old-fashioned election interference.
But before we get into the case of Woodward, they're already trying to push the whole Trump-Putin thing again.
It's great. I want to focus on someone who you guys probably know a little bit more, and that is the one and only Christopher Steele.
That's right. They're rehabbing, reshaping his whole image.
The Washington Post just yesterday—we can toss that article up on the screen—the Steele dossier author promises more Trump dirt.
Will anyone buy it?
I'm going to humbly say hell no.
But it's very interesting.
Christopher Steele, you guys of course know him of the whole fusion GPS Hillary Clinton, kind of the, I'd call him the architect of the Russia collusion scandal, but that gives him too much credit.
He's more like the useful idiot.
Maybe the cannon fodder.
You can choose one of those.
But I want to read a quote in this piece where they go on and on and on about how Trump is still an agent of Russian disinformation.
Honestly, it's getting kind of old, but I'll read this quote.
In the book, Steele predicts a new world disorder if Trump wins back the presidency in November and portrays him as more dangerous than U.S. adversaries such as China and Iran.
He calls the Republican Party and the former president who dominates it the gravest threat to Western democracy and the rule of law, increasingly the willing handmaidens for Putin.
Now, just a note to all of our betters, including the Christopher Steeles of the world, if you're going to try to roll out, you know, the tell-all books, I'm looking at you, Bob Woodward, Christopher Steele, you know, the entirety of the MSNBC Lawfare Brigade, When you indict President Trump so many times, you put him on trial, you convict him, you raid his house in Mar-a-Lago, you sort of lose the moral high ground to call these books tell-all books because you guys have sort of already dug in and gotten all the evidence that you quite possibly could have,
yet you keep coming up short.
It's kind of like when Al Gore waxes on about climate change.
It's an existential threat.
It's going to kill us all. Yeah, that's like Jack Smith when he keeps talking about democracy.
Yeah, we wouldn't need to defend democracy if you guys stopped attacking it.
It used to be, oh, if someone from the government comes to your door to try to help you, that's the worst thing you can hear.
Now it's if you hear someone from the government or the mainstream media saying that they want to defend democracy, that's about the worst thing that you can hear.
And it gets even better.
Now, let me just add real quick.
That Christopher Steele should not be giving softball interviews to the Washington Post, plugging his new, probably atrocious book.
He should be sitting in a prison cell, right?
But I guess there's an interesting convergence there and said it's Stephen K. Bannon, who's sitting in prison.
But then he goes on to write a very long-form Newsweek op-ed.
Quote, He goes on and on saying that again, Trump is still an asset and agent of Russia.
And the best part is that he uses the article to actually brag that he's doing better than ever and that his business is doing better than ever because they have a bunch of new clients in the banking, insurance, and pharma industries.
Now, bro, I know you want to brag and look like you're Mr.
Tough Guy and that you're doing great, but maybe you don't want to prove that actually the whole, I don't know what we call it here in the war, the cabal of all these converging interests that's trying to get Trump, maybe you shouldn't admit out loud that they actually love what you're doing against President Trump and your lies about Russia collusion, so much so that they're giving you business.
Because it's certainly not based off your business acumen, because last time I checked, your stupid dossier wasn't even published by the New York Times, by CNN. No, it was, oh right, BuzzFeed.
Yeah, next to probably a quiz for, like, teenage girl readers about what character they'd be in a Harry Potter movie.
That's some real hard-hitting journalism.
You know, I know the left loves to say, you know, my body, my choice.
Well, how about this Christopher Steele?
My body, my choice, when it comes to your horrible propaganda narratives about Russia collusion, because we're not falling for it again, not that we ever did.
And then it gets even better, right?
This, of course, coming on the heels of the 165-page Jack Smith filing being dropped.
Now, in the news cycle, we can put up the New York Times article of Bob Woodward being rolled out, up to his same old tricks.
And that is that President Trump secretly stayed in contact with Putin.
They allege that he had, what, seven or so phone calls with Putin after leaving office.
Now, the Trump campaign absolutely denies this allegation, but I would still say even if those phone calls actually happened, at least President Trump was probably more likely to put America and Americans first on those phone calls instead of trying to find ways to further escalate the Ukraine conflict into hitting nuclear war.
And the other thing that President Trump allegedly did, per Bob Woodward, you'll love this.
He shipped Vladimir Putin COVID tests.
I think the mainstream media, the same mainstream media that is in meltdown over that, I think they're gonna lose it when they find out what Hunter Biden received from the Chinese Communist Party.
From Ukraine? Oh right, from the Moscow mayor?
From Iraq? Shall I continue?
From the Mexicans? Shall I go on?
Again, it's still a BS story, but even if you take it at face value, it's quite funny.
I also love it too.
You know, we hear so much about DEI and affirmative action hiring.
I love that they're still banking their election interference efforts on two old white dudes.
Maybe we need some more diversity in the election interference apparatus of the Harris campaign.
But it's very clear that something is extremely rotten With the intel agencies here, and of course their overseas partners.
So much so that I want to bring up a very interesting story published partly by Miranda Devine over at the New York Post, which tells the story of an individual by the name of Dr.
Joseph Mine. He was about 10 feet away from President Trump when he was shot at the original Butler rally.
And it details...
I'll just read the piece for you.
He was one of the witnesses that Secret Service detained just to ask.
He had video footage on his phone that they wanted to go through.
And he says when he first got there, he witnessed a, quote, call between a Secret Service agent
and a supervisor where she downplayed the assassination attempt and that Trump was unharmed.
Then Dr. Joseph Mein stepped in and said, corrected her and said, well, actually, President
Trump was harmed.
He was shot in the ear.
Quote, the annoyed agent moved the phone to her left ear and gave me a look, he said.
And it gets even better.
Then when he's talking to another FBI agent, when he starts insisting that President Trump
was indeed shot, this agent says, stop.
President Trump wasn't hit.
You don't understand that that podium is armored.
When the Secret Service tackled President Trump, he hit his head on the podium.
In other words, the gut reaction was that President Trump's lying and he wasn't shot.
Now that's quite interesting and curious, coming from the same intel community apparatus who has never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity to tell us that democracy is under attack.
And I would think that an attempted assassination of a former president and presidential candidate would fit that narrative quite nicely.
But it's kind of funny.
They didn't want to run with it.
And even Christopher Wray, when he was testifying in the Senate, even he said, well, actually, we don't know if he was just grazed by a bullet.
We don't know. It could have been shrapnel.
We don't know.
You know, the only original sin of the Trump administration that has brought on this onslaught
of lawfare was President Trump daring to put Americans first.
And you see it on full display with what's happening right now when it comes to the hurricane
response in North Carolina and all things FEMA.
Now, the director of FEMA is in full on meltdown mode and of course, aided and abetted by the
mainstream media Kamala Harris, Joe Biden.
But she's saying that they have never seen so much disinformation.
Well, it's not disinformation that your agency is categorically, systematically deprioritizing
the lives and the needs of Americans.
It's not disinformation that you guys loaned $750 to each American while on the same day
you announced an additional $157 million to Lebanon.
And on October 2nd, as Americans were getting pummeled by Hurricane Helene, you guys announced an additional $237 million to Ukraine for storm preparation.
Ukrainians will receive, quote, preparedness aid ahead of winter as well as food, shelter, health and protection assistance.
Emergency medical teams and vital water and sanitation systems are also being sent as if the, what, $183 billion weren't enough.
You know, it's quite funny because in all of this, you know, charade of how much they hate the disinformation that's coming out about their flood response, I don't know about you guys.
I haven't seen a single American citizen on any mainstream media outlet saying that the response has been great.
The only things that I've heard from the American people who live in Western North Carolina and Tennessee and Georgia is that it's been absolutely atrocious.
And you would think, from the media programming aspect of it, that they'd want to wheel out one, so I challenge them to do that, but the point is that they can't, because there's no one who believes that.
So instead, they're stuck using idiots like Liz Cheney and Olivia Troy to say that what you guys are spreading is disinformation.
Now, I don't know about you, but the same people who have no qualms and are the first people to saber-rattle to get more Americans killed in endless foreign wars that have nothing to do with the national security of this country, if not, they just exacerbate it and make it worse.
They have blood on their hands for that.
I don't think I'm going to let them be the adjudicators of what is an actually sufficient response when it comes to protecting American lives.
Right, these are the same people that think the Afghanistan withdrawal was a success.
So I guess by that measure, what's going on in North Carolina with FEMA is a glowing success.
I think it's called victim-blaming when you accuse the Americans on the ground who have the courage to expose how atrocious your hurricane response efforts have been.
As just that, America last?
It's not disinformation if it's true.
Funnily enough, Christopher Steele actually admits that in the long-form Newsweek piece.
He says, sometimes disinformation is true.
It's like, well, I guess you would know, sir.
You would definitely know the answer to that.
And it's quite funny because when Tim Waltz lies about being in Tiananmen Square, that's not disinformation.
That's just him being a knucklehead.
I wish those idiots, those knuckleheads, would care as much to give Americans safety and sanctuary as they would propping up sanctuary cities across this great country and defending the rights and livelihoods of illegal aliens and importing nation-building-level numbers of foreign populations into this country with the same funds that they should have been using to clean up after storms and help American citizens.
I think that's called America Never.
And that's why you guys are slipping in the polls.
So all the Woodwards and Christopher Steeles that you want to roll out, it's not going to change the uncomfortable fact that the American people, they don't like what you're selling at all.
unidentified
We'll be right back after this short break.
natalie winters
Welcome back to the War Room.
We are joined now by Steve Friend, former FBI agent.
I'm sure you know him as one of the brave whistleblowers that worked with Congress to help expose what I think is the problem that this new New York Post piece by Miranda Devine so brilliantly articulates.
Steve, I'd love if you could just sort of walk us through, I mean, how...
Patently absurd the actions taken by these various agents were when it comes to wanting to downplay the assassination attempt against President Trump.
steve friend
Well, thanks for having me.
And I think it reveals a mindset that has crept into federal law enforcement writ large.
And that is they've gotten away from their prime directive and that the prime directive is you follow the process.
The process is itself the victory for a law enforcement agency.
A crime happens.
The police investigate.
The prosecutors prosecute.
And then there's either a conviction or an acquittal, and the case is closed.
The victory is not in the win at trial.
It's just that you follow the process.
If you lose at trial, it's just because the facts that you gather did not support a conviction.
But now what we're seeing here is a Secret Service and an FBI who are happy to put their thumb or their entire arm on
the scale and influence witnesses to one of the worst crimes that we've seen in recent memory because they wanted
to drive a narrative.
They're interested in outcomes and not the process.
That is not in keeping with the heritage of traditional American law enforcement.
That's more in long lines of something like the Cheka or the Stasi or the KGB, these agencies that are hell-bent on
driving a political narrative for the teeth on the attack dog, the weaponized apparatchiks for the ruling regime.
natalie winters
When speaking of driving narratives forward, it seems like those same individuals are now in part the people behind
this new narrative, you know, that Iran or that these foreign entities are out to get President Trump.
I'm just curious, your perspective, if you think, again, though not mutually exclusive, but where you think some of the largest threats, you know, emanating against or rather towards President Trump, where you think they're coming from?
Is it more likely Iran or is it more likely our own intel community?
steve friend
I think that the clear threat is our own intel community.
I mean, if I told you nothing else other than this, that the FBI meddled in the last two
and now the third presidential election by taking a fake dossier
to open up a fake counterintelligence investigation, open up illegal FISA wiretaps,
and then subsequently use that to impede President Trump during his first administration,
and then in the 2020 election, use those fake and illegal FISA wiretaps
to learn about the Hunter Biden laptop and go to social media companies
to encourage them to censor that information, which they actually had in their possession.
The laptop was in evidence.
You would say that that is the secret police stuff that needs to go away and be completely defunded.
They're the greatest threat. This whole foreign actors bit is – I think a lot of it is the cosplay, the law enforcement slash national security cosplay that the FBI loves to do where they post about things on their social media.
They issue press releases about threats.
To the homeland and that they're up against it.
But if you actually read into it and you don't have to read that far, maybe paragraph two or three, you find out that they're indicting members of the Iranian guard who are in Iran doing Iranian things or members of the Russian media who are on television in Russia speaking in Russian, but they're being indicted never to be extradited or arrested.
It's just let's get the headline and set the narrative.
We want the narrative to be Russia, Russia, Russia, and we're pushing back on Iranian
threats because it keeps with this other narrative, the individual that they brought in, this
gentleman merchant who they entrapped into this terrorism scheme where they facilitated
his arrival.
They actually paroled him into the country because they said he was a terrorism subject,
but they didn't arrest him.
They actually allowed him for several months to operate in New York where he had a plan,
allegedly, to recruit assassins at nightclubs and then get dozens of people to orchestrate
fake protests, pay another woman to infiltrate elected officials' private residences and
steal classified information they just happen to have lying around, and then ultimately
get assassins to kill multiple U.S. politicians all for the low, low price of $5,000.
It's laughable on its face, but the FBI is basically doing the ATF fast and furious,
but instead of letting guns walk across the border so that you could claim them later
when they were used in crimes and say, look at all the great work we're doing, they're
importing would-be terrorists who never really had the means, motive, or opportunity to carry
out that attack so they can get the narrative.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you.
natalie winters
You've got the Senate Democrat Intel Chair calling for more censorship ahead of the election on misinformation and disinformation.
Adam Schiff doing the rounds on the Sunday shows calling for, again, more censorship when it comes to all things election.
We're already hearing calls for CISA, everyone's favorite DHS kind of agency, to similarly ramp up their election censorship efforts.
I'm curious how you think as we get closer to this election, The FBI is going to, or their various kind of deep state subcontractors, but ramp up these various efforts to sort of control the narrative as we barrel towards November 5th.
steve friend
They are all in on that.
And look, they have the air cover from the Supreme Court.
Amy Barrett, the author of the decision in Murthy v.
Missouri, says that the FBI can work with social media companies to root out foreign malign influence.
Now, what is that definition?
Well, it's up to the FBI. And the FBI loves their caveat.
The caveat is that we do not investigate First Amendment protected activity, but they know the hacks around that, and they use all their levers at their disposal to do that.
I mean, you take something like Christian nationalism, this narrative.
Well, it doesn't matter if you are a Christian.
The FBI will launder information from institutes like the Public Religion Research Institute that says that 30 to 40 percent of Americans are potentially Christian nationalists.
And even though they might hold these ideas in their head and they could be black or Hispanic or Asian or white, they're all refracted through white supremacy.
Ergo, the FBI can investigate you for racially motivated violent extremism, domestic terrorism, Steve, if people want to follow you, I know you guys have a great podcast.
natalie winters
I've been on it. It's awesome.
Where can people go to do all that and keep up to date with your inside baseball analysis?
steve friend
Thank you. You can always follow me on X at Real Steve Friend.
I have the American Radicals podcast on Rumble every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and also host a show called The Morning Post on X, 8 o'clock each morning in all time zones.
We relay it so that you can always wake up and find out about the news of the day.
natalie winters
Steve Friend, thank you for joining us at True Patriot.
unidentified
Pleasure. Thanks. Of course.
natalie winters
The FBI is always in on it.
Now, there is a new narrative developing that I want this show to be ahead of because, as you know, we are always ahead of the curve.
Shout out to Jack Smith for even noticing that.
But it's quite funny.
The left is obviously in complete and utter meltdown about what Elon Musk is doing when it comes to supporting President Trump's campaign.
And there's this narrative saying, well, this is a double standard.
You guys didn't like it when Mark Zuckerberg interfered in the election.
And there's quite an interesting tacit admission.
Sort of, it's...
You know, we'll just roll the clip.
In this case, it's Jon Stewart, who I apologize in advance because it's horrible.
But let's just watch this.
We'll let him lay out the case.
jon stewart
Now, Zuckerberg did give $400 million to organizations for voting infrastructure during the pandemic.
And a good portion of that money did go to Democratic precincts.
And Donald Trump did lose the election, so...
Election interference.
But not illegal.
And obviously, Musk isn't going to do anything like that.
unidentified
Elon Musk is offering hourly pay to anyone willing to encourage people in swing states to register to vote.
He stated, quote, for every person you refer who is a swing state voter, you get $47.
Easy money. He's giving everybody $47 million.
jon stewart
When Trump finds out, when I think of the prison, Donald Trump is going to send that sweet jumping bean of a genius to, it kills me!
When Trump finds out about this, it's not going to be pretty.
donald j trump
How good a guy is Elon Musk?
You saw him last...
unidentified
How good?
jon stewart
What the f***?
Wait, that's not election interference because he's for you?
natalie winters
Boy, that's a room temperature IQ if I've ever seen one.
But that aside, it's quite interesting because it's a stunning admission to put what Elon Musk is doing on par with what Mark Zuckerberg did, because that's essentially saying that Mark Zuckerberg, who masquerades as an independent and I believe recently told House Judiciary in a letter, I never did anything to help the Democrats.
Well, it's quite interesting to put what they're doing on the same playing field, right?
Because I don't know about you, what I've heard from the mainstream media the last, what, five years?
Is that Mark Zuckerberg's turnout wasn't just for Democrats.
It was for everyone.
And just a humble fact check, John, it's not 400 million.
It's like a billion.
But even putting that aside, all of those voices who were so intent on, you know, preserving and protecting election administration, where the heck have they been when it comes to North Carolina and Georgia voting?
Oh wait, they haven't been anywhere because it's MAGA districts and they don't care.
Right? That's the other implicit tell that what they did in 2020 was all part of a plan to steal the election.
And now, I don't think it's as much necessarily about jamming the system with mail-in ballots.
That's certainly a part of it.
But now it's about jamming the system with actual people who lack a certifiable chain of custody because they're illegal aliens.
Right? It's all part of a plan.
We got Kane from Citizen Free Press.
A couple other great guests right after this short break.
I think we're tossing two shortly.
We got Kane, Citizen Free Press, and everyone else.
dave brat

WARRIOR!
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
You're back in the war room.
natalie winters
It's Natalie G. Winters, still hosting, unfortunately, for me at least, from Washington, D.C., where we always say the politicians here are keen not just on putting America last, but frankly, it's America never.
We'll see that on full display when it comes to economic policy.
There were some, shall we say, buried leads in the latest jobs report, and that the number of people working multiple jobs in the United States hit 8.66 million in September.
That's a whole new record.
That's about 600,000 jobs more, even at its peak in 2008.
It's absolutely wild if you go through the numbers on this report.
We're joined now by the one and only Philip Patrick to help us break it down.
Philip, I'm curious your thoughts on the latest jobs report, how it shows just continued, call it mismanagement, but it's intentional, coming out of the Biden regime.
phillip patrick
Intentional mismanagement would be a good way to summarize.
Obviously, job numbers coming out looking very good, but scratch beneath the surface and we start to realize there's problems.
As you mentioned, multiple job holders now account for 5.2% of civilian employment.
So essentially, one out of 20 working Americans can't make ends meet anymore with just one job, so they're forced to work a second.
It's no surprise, really, right?
We've been talking about this for a long time.
The cost of living under the Biden administration has risen by 20% in the last three and a half years, and wages simply haven't kept up.
In fact, wage growth is actually slowing over the last three quarters.
Right. What it does explain is the buried lead, right?
We couldn't figure out why employment numbers have been so shockingly high, considering the true state of the economy, because, of course, we now need at least one and a half jobs to keep our heads above water.
But the real culprit here, as we mentioned, is inflation, right?
And this is the one thing that Biden and his cronies simply haven't been able to figure out.
Right? Increasing government debt devalues the dollar.
Every dollar of student loan debt relief, every dollar given to Ukraine or to people coming over the border, it devalues every other dollar in the world.
Money printing doesn't create wealth.
And we're feeling the effects of that as the working class Americans going out there and having to really graft just to keep our heads above water.
But this is Bidenomics in action.
natalie winters
I saw, too, that student loan debt hit $1.61 trillion in the most recent fiscal year.
It's the near highest on record.
I think since 2007, I was reading the numbers, it's tripled, which, again, is just insane.
And we know they always use that as a pretext to kind of roll out election gimmicks that then usually never materialize.
But just give me a minute on that.
And more importantly, if people want to chat with you, connect with Birch Gold, where they can go to do that.
phillip patrick
Look, I mean, this idea of paying down student loans, there's a time to do it and there's a time to not, right?
If we're booming, the economy's booming, we're running a surplus, you know, addressing projects like that may make sense, but this is not the time, right?
We are dealing with the biggest debt ever held by any nation in history.
We cannot, you know, FEMA don't have the money to help the East Coast through hurricanes.
We have more debt than has ever been held by any nation in history.
This is not the time to be paying down student loans.
It is a clear attempt to get 23 million votes and they're doing it at the perfect time just when Kamala really needs them.
So very cynical and I think it's a reflection of how backwards the priorities are of this administration.
natalie winters
Philip Patrick, if people want to get in touch with you guys, where can they go to do that?
phillip patrick
Very simple. So birchgold.com forward slash Bannon.
Again, birchgold.com forward slash Bannon.
That will get your viewers access to free information, very good information on why and how to buy precious metals.
And of course, they can reach me for content at Philip Patrick on Getter.
natalie winters
Thank you so much for joining us.
We love the end of the dollar empire here in the war room.
phillip patrick
Thank you, Natalie.
natalie winters
Of course. The end of the dollar empire, quite fitting, or I would also posit it's a republic if you can keep it unburdened by what has been.
Maybe that's the first part that Kamala was missing when she made that statement.
I am honored to be joined now by good friend, me personally, the show too, who you guys saw probably last, I think, in Detroit.
His stunning breakout performance on The War Room, that is Kane, of Citizen Free Press.
I wanted to bring him on to sort of give us a redux on all things polling, the latest with, you know, Ballot requests and all the swing states, since I know, Cain, you have your thumb, your finger on the pulse of all of that.
So why don't you hit us with the latest when it comes to polling averages, at least as of today, October 8th?
@citizenfreekane
Yeah, Natalie, you know, I'm glad you took an extra 15 seconds with that introduction because I was posting another story in the stack.
When you started, Charlie Kirk had just texted me.
He had a huge event at the University of Nevada, Reno today.
And if people want to check it out, he's got four little videos in a tweet right now that he just posted on his Twitter account, Charlie Kirk Twitter.
So, you know, as we kind of glide into polling, a lot, you know, polling is sort of dovetails with registration, right?
And one of the great things that TPUSA and Charlie have been doing is getting students registered in these swing states.
We saw in 2020 with the actual victory margins So small in a couple of these states, you know, I'm not sure how many, but I think I've read that Arizona has more than 100,000 out-of-state students.
I imagine Nevada probably has at least 50,000.
Certainly Pennsylvania with Penn State, University of Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, and all the colleges in Pennsylvania, there's probably another 100,000.
And I know Scott Pressler is working hard there.
So as I said, registration of new voters You know, kind of dovetails with the polling.
So here's the polling. I'll lay it on you, Natalie.
I'm sure you've seen it all on the stack.
We had two big national polls from Reuters and New York Times-Siena.
In the Reuters poll, Trump gained three points from the last time they did the polling.
Kamala had been up sort of, maybe it was an outlier a month ago in Reuters' big poll, but Kamala had been up five.
And Trump regained three points.
And in the New York Times-Siena poll, Kamala had never led nationwide in that poll.
It was 47-47 last month.
This month she came in with a little bit of a boost, though there is some sort of question about, you know,
the internals on that poll.
I posted the crosstab numbers.
It looks like they're still sampling more Democrats than Republicans, even though Gallup
and I can't think of the other group, but two groups have shown that sort of the generic,
you know, that more Americans identify as Republican So we should no longer have these 36-31, you know, kind of five-point discrepancies in the sampling.
But anyway, so a mixed bag between Reuters and New York Times Siena, Trump gaining three and Kamala gaining three in the New York Times.
But in the state polls, this is where things are interesting.
New York Times found Trump leading 13 by 13 in Florida.
So this can hopefully put to rest all those Drudge Report headlines and sort of the rumors that Florida is in play.
There had been a couple of Democrat polls that showed the state between five, six, seven points.
So this is 13, New York Times-Siena, and Nate Cohn did a piece about it.
I've got that in the stat.
New York Times also found Trump leading by six in Texas, which is the same amount he won by in 2020.
Separately, in the last half hour, there's a great Twitter account if people want to follow it.
It's called Interactive Polls.
And they do nothing but aggregate polls.
And they've got a bunch of new stuff here in the last couple hours.
There's Trump leading by six in Texas.
So they confirmed that New York Times number, but they show Ted Cruz only leading by three
over his Democrat opponent, Al Red.
And we also, something else that's interesting is Dave McCormick.
This is what I'll close with and throw it back to you, Natalie.
That Dave McCormick has now, for the second poll in a row, been within the margin of error in Pennsylvania.
In the Pennsylvania Senate race against Bob Casey.
So this poll is 45 for McCormick, 47 for Casey.
So there's some good news out there and there's some momentum.
Wait, I promised I would send it back.
But one last thing, in the stack, you got Mark Halperin, who's got some great sources.
It's about a two minute clip of him saying that a lot of Republican insiders are starting to feel like Pennsylvania is going to go our way.
And as you know, if Pennsylvania goes for us and we win Georgia and North Carolina, it's over.
We don't need to win Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona or Nevada.
So with that, I'll throw it back to you.
natalie winters
Well, I love having you on.
You make my job so easy.
But to pivot slightly, perhaps, the pretext as to why we're seeing these polling numbers, everyone knows you're updating the stack 24-7, 365.
I don't think you take any time off.
But when it comes to the hurricane response, particularly what we're seeing in North Carolina under Kamala Harris, I'm curious...
If it's a fair charge for, as the mainstream media says, MAGA world to be accusing them of butchering the handling of crisis response when it comes specifically to Hurricane Helene, or are we just spreading disinformation?
@citizenfreekane
Is that a sarcastic question?
Is that rhetorical? Heavens.
Of course. Yeah.
You know, I was looking back at the history of Katrina.
They were on George Bush within 24 hours on Katrina.
He hadn't done anything wrong yet.
The government hadn't screwed up, and they were on him within 24 hours.
And Republicans, let's be honest, we've been waiting for our opportunity to show sort of how Democrats— For anyone to claim that we're making a big deal, we have sourced out, multiple independent investigations have sourced out how over a billion dollars, depending on how you define the funding, over a billion dollars of DHS funding FEMA funds, DHS is the overriding organization for FEMA, that those funds have gone for, well, you know, essentially to house illegals, to take care of illegals, food,
clothing. We found that there's a story, I'm sure, I think you probably talked about it, $4 billion in FEMA funds going to COVID. And that is in the most recent fiscal year.
And the last thing I'll end with is the inspector general.
This was in a tweet that I've got in the stack today.
The inspector general of DHS found seven billion dollars of unspent money right now within sort of FEMA budget at DHS. So there, you know, this whole thing about having to come to Congress for 20 billion more.
It's a joke. It's a joke.
natalie winters
And Cain, just give me a minute.
I'm curious your thoughts if you think the storm impacting voting in Western North Carolina, how you think that's going to play out, even though officials have said they're going to change the laws a bit.
@citizenfreekane
Yep, they announced today there was an emergency, or actually it was yesterday, an emergency order from North Carolina State Elections Board allowing, they're switching precincts for people, they're allowing more early voting.
So I've been worried about this.
As you know, Natalie, I put a headline or two in the stack about it.
What effect is it going to have on the Trump voter?
But here's something I saw.
There are currently only 21.
And look, these are 21,000 lives that have been greatly impacted.
But there are only 21,000 who are currently homeless in North Carolina because of the storm.
So I think overall, the numbers, by the time we get there, I'm starting to feel slightly more comfortable with it.
But I was worried because North Carolina mountains that, you know, Asheville is obviously super liberal votes Democrat.
But outside of Asheville and in that broader area, you know, those are all Trump voters.
So it's a great question.
But I'm feeling slightly more confident.
natalie winters
And Cain, hang with us through the break.
There's always more questions that I want to ask you.
The most, I would say, knowledgeable man in news.
I always enjoy having you on and, of course, checking out Citizen Free Press.
Not citizens. That's what Steve always says.
Citizen Free Press. We'll be right back after this short break with Cain.
unidentified
Would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?
There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.
natalie winters
Yikes. That compounded with that 60 Minutes interview.
It's not looking too hot.
It almost makes it make sense why they'd be rolling out the Jack Smith filing, Christopher Steele, and the Bob Woodward book.
Anna, wait. Trying to assassinate him and Butler.
Did I go there? I did.
We're still joined by Kane.
Kane, we've got a few minutes left.
I just want your reaction to that clip we just played and just the, I think, botched is an understatement, but the 60 Minutes interview, too.
@citizenfreekane
Yeah, you know, you're better at this outrage stuff than I am.
I can spew facts, but that, I don't know, I can't remember what headline I gave that Kamala clip, but there were, you know, that was a weird silence on the set of The View.
Like, even the audience of The View could tell in the middle of her answer that it was not going well.
To say that there was nothing that she would have done differently than We're good to go.
There's, you know, a little side note on the embarrassment.
I have it in the stack today.
There is internal polling from Wisconsin that shows Kamala losing by three.
And this is Democrat internal polling from Tammy Baldwin.
And I think, you know, there was also a clip you probably saw in the stack last week where J.D. Vance was saying that he's being told by reporters that That the Kamala campaign has told the reporters that their internal numbers aren't that good.
So we're starting to sort of get little bits that perhaps this oversampling that goes on in these polling forecasts, that it might be not matching up with the internal numbers.
And that could explain sort of a lot of her behavior.
I don't remember the second part of your question because I was so stunned by that clip today when I first saw it.
What were your thoughts on it?
natalie winters
It has nice shock value.
Well, tell you what, Kane, since you've been hard to book lately and you need to keep coming back on the show because the audience loves you, I'm not going to tell you what the second part of the question was.
I'm going to make you come back soon to answer it.
But in the meantime, if people want to check out the website, it's of course one of Stephen K. Bannon's favorites.
Where can people go to do that?
And you're always coming in hot on Twitter too.
@citizenfreekane
Yes, it's citizenfreepress.com.
I update headlines depending upon what time I go to sleep the night before from about 8 or 9 a.m.
until 2 o'clock in the morning.
Sometimes I even have a little help from Natalie Winters in the early morning and Raheem.
And so people don't know, all the news stories at the top, it loads in half a second.
There are no ads, so you can check it all day long.
Loads, you know, it's less than a gig.
So it's sort of a news utility, and it's a great site for news junkies.
And yes, I'll look forward to my next appearance on The War Room.
And what, 24 days until Bannon.
natalie winters
There we go. Yes, I know.
I found this. I know you maybe can't see it, but I found a honey badger stuffed animal as I was getting ready for the show today.
And I thought of Steve. So Steve is here in spirit.
Cain, thank you for joining us.
We'll have you back on soon. Okay.
unidentified
Bye-bye. Bye.
natalie winters
We are joined now.
Well, I guess we got a short video that Mike Lindell wants us to play.
So Denver, let's roll that first.
unidentified
They were even pushing people out of housing to get the funding that they were giving them
for the new immigrants to come in.
It was people that I know that got pushed out of their apartments because they were
getting funding.
They were getting rid of all the old refrigerators and everything and putting new refrigerators,
new stoves.
And I'm like, how is this?
You know, and I didn't like the parks being closed where the kids couldn't go in.
And they went there all the time for summer camp, for different things, but they were
full and the neighborhood children didn't have nowhere to go.
donald j trump
Kamala Harris vowed to abolish ICE. She wants mass amnesty and citizenship for illegals.
She took the most secure border in U.S. history and turned it into the worst border in the history of the world.
She was in charge of the border.
And the other day I saw her get up and say, we will do this, we will do that.
Why didn't they do it four years ago?
Why didn't they do it? The damage is so bad.
It's been done. She let in 21 million illegal aliens from all over the world, from prisons and jails and mental institutions at levels we've never seen before.
And this is maybe the worst thing in the whole, that nobody talks to fake news, won't mention it.
She lost more than 325,000 migrant children, probably never to be seen again, never to see their parents.
mike lindell
It's one of the number one things that have opened eyes.
It's right in front of you.
Why would they do this?
It makes no sense why they would give the parks and stuff, shut them down and give away the resources to people that came to our country illegally.
It makes no sense.
And if it makes no sense, there's a hidden agenda.
And it's an evil agenda.
natalie winters
What a nice clip.
Mike Lindell joins us now.
Walk us through what we just saw.
mike lindell
Yeah, well, everybody, this was particularly when I was in the DNC when I shaved off my mustache, but one of the big things we did there was we interviewed Democrats, and we're doing it in cities across the country that voted for Biden that now are voting for Donald Trump.
And we're taking these clips, we're gonna do it all the way up to the election, and we're having their sound bites of what they say, their reasons why they're not voting for Biden or not voting for Harris now and voting for Donald Trump.
And then we're problem, and then we have solution by Donald Trump talking and what he's saying he's gonna do to solve that problem.
It's gonna be very powerful.
It's gonna be on social media every day.
You can check out my social media going XtrueSocial, GetterGab, FrankSocial.
It'll be the first clip I put up in the morning and I want it shared everywhere.
We need to get People on board and coming into our bucket of common sense.
And that includes Democrats that are getting their eyes open.
And another thing, like I'm going to a speaking event tonight.
I encourage all of you, this is at a church.
We've got to get the churches involved.
You guys go, when you're at your church, go, this is it.
We get one shot at this, everybody.
You've got to get involved.
Get other people out to vote.
They can't just sit back and go, you know what?
Whatever happens is gonna happen.
No, we all have choices to make.
God's got his hand in all this, but we have choices, and we all have to get involved.
So I just want that voice, that of encouragement to everyone.
And you can go to LyndalePlan.com.
