On today's show, John Rocha and Sarah Palin joins Jemele to discuss the latest poll numbers on the Democratic presidential candidates. They also discuss the Joe Biden scandal and how it affects Donald Trump's 2020 campaign. Plus, a special guest joins the show to talk about the latest in the Bill Cosby scandal.
00:04:46.480Chief Washington correspondent John Carl John.
00:04:48.260In addition to our poll, New York Times has a poll out this morning showing that Donald Trump is leading in five out of the six big battleground states.
00:04:54.780Now, presidents have come back in the past.
00:05:01.800This is frightening for not just the Biden White House, not just for Democrats, but for anybody who fears what a return to a Trump presidency would mean.
00:05:16.900And the biggest challenge for Biden is it's not just that people have suddenly fallen in love with the idea of Trump going back to the White House.
00:05:49.420I don't think that voters have come to terms with what he is talking about doing.
00:05:53.960He is talking about a campaign of revenge and retribution.
00:05:57.120There was a fascinating story that is consistent with my reporting in The Washington Post talking about how he wants to go out and prosecute his political opponents, not just Democrats, but people that served him.
00:06:08.120John Kelly, his former chief of staff.
00:06:12.000Bill Barr, his former attorney general.
00:06:15.180Are voters really ready to sign up for that?
00:06:17.520He's talking about invoking the Insurrection Act on day one, using American troops on the streets of U.S. cities, something he tried to do when he was president last time, but was stopped by his own people.
00:06:28.140This would be a very radical Trump presidency, much more so than even the first one.
00:06:32.720All fueled by a big lie about the last campaign.
00:07:02.320I think I'll tell you what the Biden White House is not worried about and what Democrats out there shouldn't be worried about is one set of polls.
00:07:30.480Things the Biden White House worries about and that Democrats who support Joe Biden should worry about is that these polls are part of a pattern.
00:07:37.420They have shown they've been across a lot of polls across a lot of weeks now across a lot of months.
00:07:42.500To your point about perception being reality, it's not just the perceptions reality.
00:07:46.340It's the perception that's that's sunken in in some quite deep way about things like Joe Biden's age, about things like the relative strengths and weaknesses of Donald Trump and Joe Biden on certain sets of issues and on certain sets of character character traits.
00:08:00.900It's that's the thing that worries the White House.
00:08:02.480And I'll tell you, the other thing that really worries the White House and should worry the White House and should worry Democrats is this erosion of support with core Democratic constituencies.
00:08:11.580Again, not just in this poll, but in poll after poll after poll.
00:08:15.660So you've got this in this poll right now.
00:10:01.540It's Monday, 6th November in the year of our Lord, 2023.
00:10:09.760Historic Donald Trump in a courtroom in Midtown Manhattan polling over the weekend that has the unit party and the donor class and complete and total meltdown.
00:10:22.340I really want to thank the team, the Real America Voice team in Denver and also my own crack squad here in the war room for putting that cold open together.
00:10:37.740Boris, you've been riding shotgun with the president all the way through, particularly on the legal.
00:10:43.540So, compare and contrast to me, sir, what this polls, it's not just that it's the meltdown of Mika.
00:10:50.320What's the polling showing versus what we're seeing in a Moscow show trial to, I don't want people to understand this, forcing Donald Trump to testify against every right he's got, forcing him to testify and in the process trying to strip him of his business.
00:11:10.320As you look all across the country, here's what is clear.
00:11:13.880The deranged Democrats, with Tish James, who said that the Trump administration is too male, too pale, too stale.
00:11:22.920Obviously, she was saying that just the racist words coming out of her mouth back when she was running for office and campaigning.
00:11:31.020These deranged Democrats will go to every length possible.
00:11:34.820And look at these gag orders all across the country.
00:11:37.640Again, in Washington, D.C., the D.C. circuit, saying to the judge in the D.C. district court, you absolutely cannot muzzle a political candidate, the leading candidate for president of the United States.
00:11:49.740And, hey, that happened before these polls.
00:11:51.800You cannot muzzle and take away his First Amendment rights.
00:11:55.100In New York, this judge, he's not only attempting to muzzle the president, he's attempting to muzzle and gag his attorneys.
00:12:02.700They're trying to strip President Trump of his First, Fifth, Sixth Amendment rights.
00:12:11.360The Democrats will go to any length possible to stop President Trump from becoming president, which he's marching to do, and to stop MAGA from taking over.
00:12:20.740And to all this whining, all these losers on media, everybody, oh, well, Joe Biden, oh, you know, oh, Joe's talking about how really this is a basketball that's done everything right.
00:12:34.720Everything right, are your eyes closed?
00:12:39.280There's a war in Eastern Europe surrounded.
00:12:43.020It's a fire, a dumpster fire surrounded by nuclear reactors.
00:12:47.3801,500 to 2,000 Jews just got slaughtered in Israel, slaughtered the worst day since the Holocaust.
00:12:54.480There's terror threats all across the United States.
00:13:02.800Our energy dominance has gone to energy weakness.
00:13:08.220If Joe Scarborough and Mourning Mika Brzezinski and all of these other idiots think that Joe Biden has achieved a lot, has had a historic presidency, they need to get their eyes and their heads checked.
00:14:03.500But to George Stephanopoulos, elections have consequences, brother, and stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.
00:14:13.120And this is going to have it for the media, for ABC News, for the Uniparty, for the Democrats, for the radical progressives in this country that stole the 2020 election.
00:16:37.820On the flip side, 51% of those same voters say Trump's policies have helped them, while 34% say the opposite.
00:16:46.140And this is the reason our phones were exploding yesterday, with people really, really freaked out and upset.
00:16:53.780And it does beg the question, you know, if there are Democrats out there who are concerned, or even moderate Republicans, about the difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump,
00:17:06.120I think the real concern here is disinformation, the electorate being poisoned.
00:17:11.860I mean, it's not like the contrast between these two are Republican and Democrat, and conservative versus liberal policies.
00:19:30.240Now, we're not going to lean on our shovels here and say, oh, a year before the election, we've got this.
00:19:36.000No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:19:37.380Number one, we're going to get a massive, you know, 40 state, 400 electoral votes win and then get into the business of taking apart the elite in this country that control the administrative state.
00:19:50.160We're going to take the administrative state apart.
00:19:52.620We're going to make sure the elites in this country can never do this again, ever, ever.
00:19:56.820So, yes, that day is coming and we're getting stronger every day and MAG is ascendant.
00:20:03.780It's because you, this audience, you have stood in the breach from the beginning, from the beginning, and now they're in total, complete meltdown.
00:20:12.600These polls are just, I mean, to say they're awful is to give too good a word awful.
00:20:17.300Also, don't remember, remember the Barry Lee.
00:20:19.900They keep saying, well, if it's just Biden, it's not Trump.
00:20:22.900And David Axelrod came out and from Obama, speaking for Obama, David Axelrod, his chief strategist, and did the coup de grace.
00:20:32.880He put the bullet right in the back of, metaphorically, in the back of Biden by saying, you know, it's up to Joe Biden, but he really has to consider stepping down.
00:20:49.780The ticket they want is Newsom-Whitmer.
00:20:51.260We've said this from the beginning now for years.
00:20:53.560And you see Newsom's not over in China playing happy-clappy on climate change and rubbing up on Xi, much to the demise of the Lao-Bai-Jing.
00:21:04.120Because Newsom, he traded out the people in California.
00:21:06.720He'll trade Lao-Bai-Jing out in New York second.
00:21:15.580Not just 44 years ago, I think yesterday, is that 44 years ago, Lieutenant J.G. Bannon was on the USS Paula Foster, and we were called to leave the Hawaiian op area where we're doing our workup to go to my second deployment in the Western Pacific.
00:21:31.480And we were called to the Persian Gulf in the North Arabian Sea because of the hostage crisis.
00:21:36.860I'll talk a little bit more about that as we shift our coverage to Jerusalem here in a few minutes.
00:21:41.480But I want to bring another historic day here.
00:21:44.34044 years later, we're launching in the great music city in Nashville, Tennessee, a John Fredericks.
00:21:51.520What do we – tell me about this historic launch of the John Fredericks Radio Network, with more room being a humble part of that, in Nashville.
00:21:59.040Well, listen, Steve, many – in 2019, in October, we founded the War Room.
00:22:10.220Now you've got the number one live radio and TV show in the world, not only in America, but in the world, and everyone knows that.
00:22:18.320The New York Times can call it a podcast all they want.
00:22:21.060This is a live show, as you're seeing us live right now.
00:22:24.000So Ann and I, my wife, Ann Fredericks, who's our president and CEO, decided that it was very important that we find a network to buy, a radio station to buy in Nashville, Tennessee.
00:22:38.060That is one of the most growing cities in the U.S.
00:22:43.360That's where, of course, all of the big radio network hosts are and some of the biggest companies.
00:22:48.960So it took us a while, but we were able to do that.
00:22:52.740And just today at 6.30 a.m. Central, 7.30 a.m. Eastern, we launched WENO AM760, The Flame, which is our new blowtorch of free speech in Nashville,
00:23:07.480with our lineup, John Frederick Show, 6 to 10, and this is all Eastern.
00:23:12.260Then, of course, War Room follows that, 10 to noon, Rob Carson, noon to 3, Del Wamsley, 3 to 5,
00:23:19.320and then back with Steve Bannon, War Room, Evening Edition, 5 to 7.
00:23:25.020Now, one of the most amazing things about this, Steve, is we are right in the middle of competing with two of the biggest conservative talk conglomerates in the country,
00:23:34.960iHeartRadio and Cumulus. They're the kings there.
00:23:38.340But look, they got all the warmed-over hosts that basically download RNC talking points every day
00:23:44.500and babble on about a capital gains tax cut or the Ukraine war or something.
00:23:49.520We're bringing, with War Room and my show and Rob, we're bringing a fresh, populist, energetic, action, action, action perspective,
00:23:59.020the best analysis that they're going to get.
00:24:00.640And although we're competing with the big boys, we don't have the funding they have.
00:24:23.880This is all we have to compete with all of the clips you had to play today from CNN, MSNBC, Mika, the whole bunch of them.
00:24:31.600And as you rattled off all of the left-wing communists, liberal outlets, the Atlantic, New York Times, Washington Post, et cetera,
00:24:38.900it's only our media and expanding with you, with us, that are giving people the truth.
00:24:44.160Because at the end of the day, Steve, we're gaining on everybody because they know we're right.
00:24:48.740We have the best analysis, the best perspective, Steve, and the truth will set you free.
00:24:55.520By the way, just knowing it is the hometown of General Andrew Jackson and the hermitages there is enough for me always to want to have been on radio in Nashville.
00:25:05.680But it's also the cultural center of a new American renaissance.
00:25:09.820Nashville is one of the most important cities in the United States of America.
00:25:12.940We're very honored to be part of it now and hope to really provide tons of original content, populist nationalist content,
00:25:21.760exactly like General Andrew Jackson was, who was one of our best field commanders ever,
00:25:26.480one of our best generals who knew about winning and victory,
00:25:29.260and also one of our greatest presidents who took on, wait for it, the central bankers.
00:25:34.360So General Jackson, in spirit, will live on in the war room every day.
00:25:39.060John Fredericks, thank you very much, brother.
00:25:40.840Your expansion from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, started in Richmond, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Atlanta, now Nashville.
00:27:28.720You're saying the math here that the poll is so brutal that – and I think that was in the headlines of the New York Times.
00:27:35.100You're saying the poll is so brutal that the axle rod and all this is really an effort to tell – but you believe the poll is accurate, right?
00:27:43.300You're not saying they're doing this as a false flag operation?
00:32:50.340Trump gets 22% of the African-American vote.
00:32:52.620This is what we've talked about, the reality of American life, that our populist nationalist MAGA movement speaks to people about the current situation.
00:33:04.540And the neoliberal neocons cannot – everything that they put up, people understand it's a lie.
00:33:12.800Flip to the CBS poll where they say people say Trump will give me – Trump on both peace, overseas, no wars, and prosperity at home, and the control of our immigration and border.
00:33:31.200Yeah, it's a great time to pivot to that because you said the reality.
00:33:34.520It's also the reality of a rematch, Steve.
00:33:36.840This is two men with records now, and the bottom line, Joe Biden's biggest problem is that we asked voters, the CBS News poll asked voters, who do you think was a better president on these issues?
00:33:49.140And when it comes to peace and prosperity, which is what voters are looking for, Trump blows him out of the water.
00:33:55.120Let me give people a little bit of a flashback.
00:33:57.920In 2020, when we polled nationally for the Epoch Times and then in the battleground states just for us individually, we asked people who they thought was more likely to lead us into a next conflict or which candidate would it be more likely that we would see a war.
00:34:14.860And in some of these states – which is crazy, but that was the media coverage – in some of these states, Minnesota, it was very close, in Pennsylvania, some actually picked Biden.
00:34:24.660They thought that Biden would be the peacemaker in a lot of these states.
00:34:27.920That is not the case in our polling or the CBS News polling anymore.
00:34:32.420So this is a – I keep using the Grover-Cleveland-like analogy, but that's really what we have here.
00:34:37.960It's a unique situation because we haven't seen it in the modern day.
00:34:41.780Nobody alive has seen this before, but their biggest problem is that voters think Donald Trump was a better president and their lives were better under him, and that's tough.
00:35:00.100I want to make sure that Grace and Mo, we get this up in the email today, not just in the live chat.
00:35:08.960Let's push it out, but I want to make sure it's in our email.
00:35:11.940Everybody, particularly the radio audience in Nashville and all throughout the country on radio or the podcast where you actually don't see the live stream or the TV version of this,
00:35:22.220make sure you go to get our daily email because we get all the graphs in there, all the charts in there, and you really need that to get the full impact.
00:35:58.920How Joe Biden and Antony Blinken are balancing, doing this delicate balance.
00:36:03.900So I thought Blinken's trips yesterday to the West Bank and to Iraq were perfect examples of how this administration, led by President Trump, but with Blinken as his key associate,
00:36:21.240are doing the hard things, are going to the places that are dangerous.
00:36:26.220For an American Secretary of State to go to Ramallah, almost in a state of insurrection against Israel, angry at America, takes a lot of guts.
00:36:39.840And the leader of one of the militias, Kataib Hezbollah, said before Blinken arrived, Anthony Blinken, son of a Jew, don't you dare come here.
00:37:13.840You know, I'm here to show don't do it.
00:37:15.860And then secondly, this key question of the day after, how on earth can the international community help put Gaza back together after Hamas is defeated?
00:37:27.580It's going to depend a lot on Palestinians who have to do the work in the West Bank, in the Palestinian Authority.
00:37:39.080It's one of Blinken's best periods, I think, as Secretary of State.
00:37:41.880Netanyahu is an albatross around Biden's neck.
00:37:46.000You write in part, quote, Joe Biden has hitched his fortunes to a man, Benjamin Netanyahu, who is co-creator of the ghastly dilemma with which Israel is now faced.
00:37:57.260The problem with Biden's bear hug strategy is that he has no veto on the Israeli prime minister's actions.
00:38:34.700He says, if you want to go talk basically to Persia, if you want to talk to the Iranians, if you want to talk to their proxies, he flew into Baghdad.
00:38:44.200I want you to fully embrace that for a moment.
00:39:07.320If you want to go talk to what they call the Iranians, the Persians, and you want to make your case and make sure they tone down their proxy armies, you go to Baghdad.
00:40:33.280The railhead of much of what's wrong in the world today.
00:40:37.660Yoram, Anthony Blinken, and thank you for joining us from Jerusalem today.
00:40:41.460I just got to ask you, Blinken's flying around, he's going to Amman, he's meeting with the Arab leaders, he's doing this, he's doing that.
00:40:48.140Is the United States, is your theory the case and others is that Israel's just got to fight this war and take on the Muslim Brotherhood and the Gaza franchisee called Hamas.
00:41:00.120And they've just got to get on with it.
00:41:02.160Are the Americans, are we helping and assisting in that process or are we hindering, sir?
00:41:11.140Well, look, the United States does have a ready supply of munitions that are being flown into Israel almost on a daily basis.
00:41:22.520And for sure, everybody in the state of Israel is grateful to the Biden administration and to House and Senate Republicans for keeping the munitions line coming.
00:41:36.980But when it comes to diplomatic support, I don't think these guys know what they're doing.
00:41:42.480I mean, there's a very, very simple argument between Trump foreign policy and the Obama-Biden foreign policy.
00:41:50.240Trump's foreign policy was, we Americans, we think it's in our interest for our allies to be strong and independent and to take care of business as they understand it.
00:42:02.240And because our allies are strong and fighting for themselves, they'll also be advancing American interests.
00:42:09.280And then we have the Obama-Biden doctrine, which basically sees, I mean, we had Obama just repeat this, you know, on this clip, this interview that he did just over the weekend.
00:42:23.700Obama said it again, that it's true that the Israeli Jews were massacred on October 7th.
00:42:30.220But, you know, we also have to worry about the safety and the well-being of the children in Gaza.
00:42:37.360And so our approach has to be basically even-handed.
00:42:39.900Now, Obama and Biden, their calling card was even-handed balance of power between Iran and Israel.
00:42:48.280Their theory was that Iran has to be strengthened in order to be able to balance Israel.
00:42:53.560And so they spent the last dozen years, more than a dozen years, almost 20 years on this crazy theory, by the way, began with Republicans, with Jim Baker and Brent Scowcroft, adopted by Obama and by the Biden White House, which says, strengthen Iran, strengthen Iran so they can balance Israel.
00:43:16.680And that's what they're constantly doing.
00:43:18.200Hang on, you hit one of my favorite topics, Baker and Scowcroft.
00:43:25.740We're going to return to this, of the Great Persian War expands in the Middle East, next in the war room.
00:43:37.760There's a lot to be nervous about out there.
00:43:39.700Open social media or turn on the news and all you see is crime and societal decay.
00:43:44.820A lot of people just run out and buy a gun and then it sits in a safe.
00:43:49.900If there's ever an emergency, they're not going to be prepared and run the risk of hurting themselves or others.
00:45:05.200Okay, in Turbulent Times, we're going to talk more about capital markets in the second hour.
00:45:08.860Make sure you go to understand the end of the dollar empire.
00:45:13.320For installments, all totally free, birchgold.com slash Bannon.
00:45:18.320Also, you can check in with Philip Patrick and the team and find out what gold has been a hedge against turbulent times for 5,000 years of mankind's history.
00:46:16.420And that's how the Bush 41 saved the CCP, saved them, saved the CCP.
00:46:21.380But you bring up something that's, it's mind-boggling.
00:46:25.700And you're going to have to explain it to our audience.
00:46:26.980Because this gets to the heart of the problem we have today.
00:46:31.540This gets to the heart of the problem we have today.
00:46:35.800That Scowcroft and Jim Baker, and Jim Baker is supposed to be the master.
00:46:38.860You know, Peter Baker over at the New York Times has written this big, thick book about he's the master player and the master manipulator.
00:46:44.640And all the Bush guys talk about, yeah, James Baker.
00:46:47.560This is, you know, James Baker, the master thinker, the grand strategist.
00:46:52.440Tell me, Scowcroft and Baker's theory of the case of why Persia had to be brought up in strength,
00:47:02.240particularly given everything they had done since the radical Ayatollahs took them over and the Mullahs took them over and the Shiites ran the thing on theocracy,
00:47:09.940why they had to be stronger and our ally Israel had to be weaker.
00:47:14.640Okay, look, everybody, I think, at least above a certain age, certainly you remember that Reagan's big theory was peace through strength.
00:47:23.780The stronger we are, the more likely it is that our enemies will just give up.
00:47:28.020And the Trump foreign policy, the Trump doctrine, was based on the same theory.
00:47:32.640If you want peace, you take the good guys, the people who Trump thinks are the good guys, Poland, England, Israel, India, Japan, Australia,
00:47:42.280you make them so strong that everybody who, that any hostile power will have to say,
00:47:47.900not only do we not want to attack them, but we actually want to make peace with them because they can't be defeated.
00:47:52.840Right. So that's one, one theory that's familiar to us.
00:47:56.660But there's an opposite theory that's been kicking around Washington for a generation.
00:48:01.180Right. And it, it, it calls itself realism.
