Episode 2127: The Speech For 'Democracy'; The Rule Of Law Means Nothing For The Biden Regime; The WarRoom Posse Heading To Pennsylvania For Record Turnout
Biden's speech at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night was widely panned by critics, including CNN's own Peter Bergen and CNN's Phil Rifkin. They discuss what they liked and didn't like about the Vice President's speech.
00:00:00.000Again, we see majority of Americans who disagree. And so when you are not with where majority of Americans are, then, you know, that is extreme. That is an extreme way of thinking. I'm not going to. That's what I have for you, Phil.
00:00:16.640Yeah, the speech last night to me sounded like a president delivering a wartime address. And indeed, Joe Biden sees this as, as he said, a battle for the soul of the country. It's a battle for the preservation of our democracy.
00:00:35.280And to me, the significant thing was that he yes, he called out Donald Trump, but he also called out the mega Republicans, the mega Republican officials and followers who, you know, for whatever motive, under whatever delusion, are going down this this authoritarian path, this undemocratic path and trying to take the nation with them.
00:01:03.720And he's he framed this as an emergency, as as something that we as a nation need to bond together to stop and to reverse and to return to to our democratic principles and our democratic practices.
00:01:22.560And to me, it was it was it was an urgent wartime address.
00:01:27.660And that's why Joe Biden's speech was so brilliant last night.
00:01:39.900And he did something that, Joe, you've been asking or I've been asking for, which is brand the Republican Party overall, make it a referendum on crazy, a referendum on semi fascism, a referendum on violence, a referendum on the end of democracy, a referendum on on a woman's right to choose.
00:01:56.200All of these things, which which is extreme, which is very right wing, which is frightening.
00:02:03.320We branded the entire part, although he was very clever to say, look, this is not everybody, but yet make it a referendum on the extremism, on the semi fascism.
00:02:27.980But what he did last night in a very single minded way, finally, and I think there are people at home were probably there was a sigh of relief as you were watching it.
00:02:55.920Well, Lindsay, this was a speech for the history books and for the American people and for anyone Republican or Democrat or independent who is worried about the election lies that are continuing to permeate the American election system.
00:03:08.920As someone who's been out on the campaign trail on the last few days, I can tell you that in talking to Republicans who believe the false claims that the 2020 election was rigged, they really do believe all of the different conspiracy theories that former President Trump is peddling.
00:03:22.400And they're very, very worried about whether or not another election could be stolen.
00:03:26.200Of course, then you have Republicans like Judge Ludic, who testified before the January 6th committee, who said he as a Republican is worried that if a Republican doesn't win in 2024, that that election could then try to be stolen from Republicans who are angry.
00:03:40.200So last night, President Biden was trying to really speak to Americans and say, look, the entire democracy is at stake.
00:03:46.460And it was very clear that he was also wanting to make sure he reached back to January 6th and reminding people that political violence is not an option, that it's not something that is acceptable in this country.
00:03:56.320I also think it's really important that he said you can't be pro-law enforcement and also pro-insurrection.
00:04:02.440You can't be pro-loving your country while also be only wanting to be happy and think that the democracy is working when you win.
00:04:09.080Those were key lines, I'm told by White House officials, because he wanted to make sure that people understood the stark moment that we're living through, because all across the country, we're seeing election deniers win elections, win primaries, and for critical seats like secretaries of states who run the election system.
00:04:24.800So this was definitely something that I think was for a broad audience.
00:04:27.960Who was listening, I think, is going to be a key question.
00:04:30.420We already know that this is such a partisan issue.
00:04:32.740If you're a Republican, mainly someone who is still following the former President Trump and still supporting him, you're going to see the speech, as Kelly said, as political.
00:04:41.040You're going to see it as sort of more of the same.
00:04:42.860But if you're a Democrat and an independent or a Republican, many of them who maybe don't want to talk on camera, but many Republicans are also worried, then you're going to see the speech as something that needed to be said, especially ahead of the midterms in 2024.
00:04:54.480Mr. President, do you consider all Trump supporters to be a threat to the country?
00:05:06.040I don't consider any Trump supporters to be a threat to the country.
00:05:10.920I do think anyone who calls for the use of violence, fails to contempt violence when it's used, refuses to acknowledge when an election has been won.
00:05:23.800Trump insists upon changing the way in which the rules, you count votes.
00:06:38.440You know, Biden looks like Moloch last night.
00:06:42.420Desecrates the most sacred outside of Arlington National Cemetery in our battlefields, Gettysburg, Valley Forge.
00:06:49.280Probably the most sacred space in the country where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, two divinely inspired documents, were conceived, negotiated, and agreed to.
00:07:00.500Outside with Marines used as prop, the Marine Corps, having 13 of the bravest, right?
00:07:08.760What, 11 of the Marines, I believe, thrown away at the Abbey Gate.
00:07:13.020And he's not even strong enough to stand up to what he said last night.
00:07:32.660They tried to assassinate me again last night.
00:07:35.920With another SWAT, with the Special Forces Tactical Units.
00:07:39.080Your people, your people, directed by all the, what you've said in Bethesda, what you've said in Scranton, and what your Zen master, Jean-Pierre, said at the White House.
00:07:51.920If you're not with the majority, first of all, we're the majority, but if you're not with the majority extreme, when has that ever been said in the United States?
00:07:58.240Even during the height of the Vietnam War?
00:08:00.760Even during the run-up to the Civil War?
00:08:03.180I've got Doug Mastriano, who's going to put a good old-fashioned whoopin' on Shapiro, who's a radical.
00:08:11.060And last night, they come to Philadelphia, a city that is imploding into anarchy and chaos, with the African-American community, the Hispanic community, paying the biggest price.
00:08:22.220Doug Mastriano, a man who served his country, which Joe Biden never did, a man who served his country.
00:08:27.540So, Doug, I just got to ask you first, as a historian, you got a Ph.D. in history, you're a combat veteran.
00:08:33.560When you see last night, the stagecraft, obviously fascistic, but almost more than that, demonic, with these colors, blood red, and no one's ever seen that in the United States, not even the color of a flag.
00:08:47.540The flag kind of held in distress, not totally in distress, but not parallel where it normally is, and the Marines used his props.
00:08:54.980It looked like Lenny Riefenstahl did the stagecraft here.
00:08:58.260Doug Mastriano, your thoughts, before we talk about Pennsylvania, your thoughts about last night, sir?
00:09:04.220It was chilling, it was dark, divisive.
00:09:07.720I mean, I agree, Steve, that he would use the national symbol of Independent Paul, where in 1776, the light of liberty was at great risk for our founding fathers.
00:09:18.920You know, their lives were fortunate in the sacred honor they put on the line there.
00:09:22.120It was not a foregone conclusion they were going to win that eight-year-long war against the greatest empire in the world at the time.
00:09:28.340And then the same place in 1787, where, of course, the Constitution was drafted.
00:09:32.720You know, the irony is not lost on me.
00:09:34.980You know, in 1787, you know, when during the Constitutional Convention, when Benjamin Franklin came out on one of those days of negotiating debate, that a Mrs. Powell was outside of Independence Hall, where Sleepy Joe gave an awful device to speak.
00:09:49.360And she yelled out to him, Mr. Franklin, do we have a monarchy or a republic?
00:09:54.400And he said, of course, a republic if we can keep it.
00:09:57.640And, Steve, I've got to be honest with you.
00:09:59.100Until 2020, I knew our freedoms were fragile, but I did not realize how fragile and how rare those freedoms really were.
00:10:07.300Over two centuries, they were always there.
00:10:10.060We had people like yourself and myself in uniform defending them.
00:10:13.380And to watch these things rapidly draw back in 2020, in my case, under Governor Wolf, and Josh Shapiro, my opponent, who backed up every failed policy of Wolf that he could.
00:10:22.160And then listen to that very chilling and dark speech, the politicization of our national shrine, and it's called the politicization of the United States Marine Corps.
00:10:30.920You know, I go, I scour through my social media, my political pages, because obviously there's pictures of me in uniform.
00:10:37.600Unlike Sleepy Joe, I spent over 30 years in uniform defending our country.
00:10:41.820And so, of course, just pictures of me in uniform.
00:10:43.600And we have to have our little, this is not, you know, infer DOD endorsement.
00:10:52.160How inappropriate, almost a year to the day, of that ridiculous, unnecessary, embarrassing retreat from Afghanistan, where we lost 13th of our service people.
00:11:03.440You know, as you said, 11 Marines, one soldier, and one Navy corpsman, you know, and to use our service people as a prop to attack his political foes.
00:11:12.600I mean, you've experienced personally some of the unprecedented persecution politically.
00:11:17.820We saw what happened to Donald Trump, you know, three weeks ago, and now we're watching this, bringing it up another level.
00:11:22.820Joe Biden will be responsible for any violence against Republicans.
00:11:50.440I just ask you, in the history of this republic, given the turmoil we've been through and some of the tough times, not just the president, has any elected, senior elected official ever addressed any, even in the run-up to the Civil War, where they're saying half of you, over half of you are enemies and give a wartime address?
00:12:09.540Even Lincoln, during the height of the conflict, continued to try to reach out.
00:12:15.640He tried to say, we have the whole, you know, I represent the whole nation.
00:12:31.640I got to be honest with you, Stevie, that as a student of history, as a doctor of history, I cannot think of any example of any serious politician.
00:12:40.440Going back, you know, a few centuries in the lead-up to this, where there's been this outrageous rhetoric.
00:12:47.720You know, during the First World War, now, I mean, Wilson did attack the German descent quite a bit, sadly.
00:12:56.320So, Wilson, he verbally attacked and threatened any German, of course, which may have had sympathy with Imperial Germany in 1979.
00:13:03.400I mean, in fact, one of his spokesmen said, you know, if you guys rise up, because Kaiser Wilhelm, you know, Kaiser William of the German Empire, said, you know, you have a lot of ethnic Germans if you declare war on me, because we've got more lampposts to hang them from.
00:15:01.640When your nation's supposed authority on economic policy completely misses the flashing red lights of impending inflation.
00:15:09.520Now, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has finally admitted, quote,
00:15:14.720There's been an unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that affected our economy badly that I didn't, at the time, fully understand.
00:15:28.820You know who understands the real threat of inflation?
00:15:31.220People who invested in gold and silver with Birch Gold Group.
00:15:36.500They're protecting their savings from a highly turbulent economy by diversifying their 401k or IRA into gold, physical gold.
00:15:47.000It's not too late for you to take action now.
00:15:48.760Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898 and get a free info kit on diversifying and protecting your savings with precious metals.
00:16:00.320With an A-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau, countless five-star reviews, and thousands of satisfied customers, text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898 and get the real help from Birch Gold today.
00:16:14.360Again, text Bannon to 989898 to claim your free, no-obligation information kit on protecting your savings with gold.
00:16:25.000War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:28.580The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide.
00:16:40.900Colonel Mastriano, has Josh Shapiro condemned that speech from last night, sir?
00:16:47.060My opponent, the Attorney General, Josh Shapiro, has not condemned the speech, and he'll be hard-pressed to do that since he's gone so overboard using similar inflammatory language that Biden has been using.
00:16:58.320So Biden walks it back today because they don't understand the overnight polling and even the media is crushing them about the look of Moloch and the fascistic and using the revered Marine Corps.
00:17:10.960I mean, a disgrace on every part of StageCraft and every line in that.
00:17:16.080So Josh Shapiro then owns the whole speech.
00:17:46.760The talk that took place last night, the speech took place last night, or the tirade, the screed, the primal scream of a regime that understands it's about to be thrown out, was in the cradle of liberty.
00:17:59.860One of America's greatest cities and, quite frankly, one of the greatest cities in the world, a city that was second only to London during the Revolution.
00:18:08.080Philadelphia, the greatest early city with Boston in the United States.
00:18:12.200That city, a great Philadelphia, ever spent any time there?
00:18:14.680Great people, great city, descending into anarchy and chaos.
00:18:18.600Not one mentioned last night, the anarchy and chaos of the citizens, particularly African-American, Hispanic citizens that can't walk the streets, don't feel safe.
00:19:08.080We're number 4 in the fentanyl deaths.
00:19:10.360We're leading the way, sadly and tragically, in sex trafficking.
00:19:14.360Where beautiful young people are being abused by terrible men.
00:19:17.780And Josh Shapiro does nothing but run around with his perfect hair and trying to get votes.
00:19:22.660And instead of doing his job during the shutdown, he proved to be nothing but a tool of the Democrat Party.
00:19:28.740Josh Shapiro actually sued the parents of Pennsylvania to keep kids in masks another year.
00:19:33.440He actually sued to keep businesses shut down for another year.
00:19:36.040Instead of doing his job and focusing on law and order, which is his number one responsibility, he actually took to the Supreme Court and sued the little sisters of the poor.
00:19:57.620And, you know, facts are stubborn things.
00:20:00.480Pennsylvania, you're less safe and secure under Josh Shapiro.
00:20:03.400He's too extreme and too dangerous and too radical and too partisan to be governor of Pennsylvania.
00:20:08.840Particularly, you think about Pennsylvania, you know, Valley Forge, the Trenton, you know, the discrossing the Delaware, Gettysburg, Independence Hall.
00:20:17.980Only, and I would say it's my beloved Virginia, I think even matches Pennsylvania's sacred soil.
00:20:58.720Joe Biden was, you know, in Scranton, what, a couple days ago, and he had no more than 100 in the room there, couldn't fill up a high school gym.
00:21:06.720We're going to have about 10,000 tomorrow.
00:21:09.640It's going to be important coming on the heels of, of course, this is Donald Trump's first public appearance since the raid on Mar-a-Lago, the unconstitutional chilling raid, and also on the heels of what has happened in Philadelphia.
00:21:21.300Philadelphia, and I agree with you, Steve, in Philadelphia, especially Independence Hall, that's where people like Ronald Reagan would go to give unifying speeches to bring all Americans together.
00:21:31.040And what do we have with Joe Biden, Josh Shapiro is dividing conquer.
00:21:34.060It's all about division and demonizing your political foes.
00:21:53.660Remember, Eugene Robinson, the top columnist at the Washington Post, said it was an urgent wartime address.
00:21:58.980It was declaring war on half of the American people.
00:22:02.680He's never said this about the Chinese Communist Party.
00:22:05.100He's never said this about the mullahs in Iran.
00:22:06.980He's never said about the kleptocracy, the kleptocrat KGB in Russia.
00:22:11.580He's never said this about any of the enemies of Venezuela, Cuba.
00:22:16.380Has he ever mentioned the Mexican drug cartels that have trafficked and brought the fentanyl in, the death and destruction,
00:22:23.580to the people in Mexico, and to working class people, and a higher percentage of Hispanic and African Americans in fentanyl deaths and murder because of this?
00:22:32.840Has Joe Biden ever said a word about the Mexican cartels of what he said about his fellow citizens?
00:22:39.360This speech, that photograph, and that moment will live in infamy.
00:22:55.760It's a disgrace to every patriot's grave from the revolutionary generation down to the current time of the 13 honored dead at Abbey Gate in Kabul Airport.
00:23:06.600And we have a moral obligation to defeat him at the polls on November 8th, and we have a moral obligation.
00:23:13.400We have a sacred duty, like they had in Philadelphia.
00:23:15.540We have a sacred duty to impeach him and remove him from office.
00:23:19.780If we're a constitutional republic, we must do that.
00:24:09.440It's chilling in terms of where my family and I come from, but it's also chilling in terms of me being a proud descendant of the six million Jews who were massacred in the Holocaust by Adolf Hitler and his disciples.
00:26:16.800And, you know, they've got this dark Biden meme going.
00:26:19.180So the idiots in this administration thought that that would be a good idea.
00:26:23.320But I will tell you that I'm rather convinced that there are people who are controlling Joe Biden who thought that the imagery was fitting.
00:26:32.740Now, I'm not saying that, you know, they're trying to pay homage.
00:27:29.780Whoever authorized the break-in and the raid, the burglary of President Trump's home, whoever's authorizing this weaponization of law enforcement and prosecution all over the country,
00:27:40.740these are disgusting human beings who have power so deeply ingrained into them, who are so obsessed with power, they will not stop at any level.
