this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on
00:00:10.880
these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the people have
00:00:17.480
had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do everything
00:00:21.240
in the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and where do
00:00:24.620
people like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of these
00:00:32.340
people had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to
00:00:39.900
save my country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k band
00:00:47.800
welcome to the war room it's natalie g winters filling in for stephen k band and coming at you
00:00:58.800
live from milwaukee we're here a little different location in the morning but we're still at the
00:01:02.860
rnc you can see behind us it's where all the delegates are going in to have their meetings
00:01:07.100
here the speech is of course big news today happening in between our morning show and now
00:01:11.640
jd vance being announced as president trump's vice presidential pick very exciting news war room
00:01:19.720
approved i'm honored to have none other than josh hammer joining us to break all of that down we
00:01:26.080
also have some rnc delegates who are going to join us later i hear raheem kasam and jack pasobic
00:01:30.180
maybe dropping by but for now it's just me holding the fort down which is a okay uh but we got it we
00:01:36.300
got a clip the mainstream media of course predictably in meltdown over the selection of jd
00:01:41.620
vance always a good sign let's roll that we'll bring josh in and have him unpack the significance
00:01:46.260
of this decision denver feel free to roll that clip it's it's a strategic gamble but i think it
00:01:52.460
speaks to just how confident the trump campaign is strategic gamble why there are major vulnerabilities
00:01:57.400
with jd vance you have tons of times that he's been on the record back when he was a never trumper
00:02:02.380
calling the most horrific names that you could about the now president refer to him as america's
00:02:06.600
america's hitler among others but he's also someone his talent to give him credit he's incredibly
00:02:11.260
savvy he can appear on mainstream media and give a coherent eloquent version of maga and go toe to
00:02:16.980
toe with the best interviewer but then he'll appear on extremely far right media where he said
00:02:21.660
much more outrageous things that i'm sure democrats everywhere are digging up now to portray him as
00:02:26.560
the most extreme version of maga so there's going to be a big dump of some of the things he said on
00:02:31.520
steve bannon's war room and elsewhere that i think the campaign is to be ready for whereas a
00:02:35.460
doug bergam would be about as safe as can be however jd vance i think really resonates in key
00:02:40.280
pennsylvania he's got the story he's got that national profile so there's some pros and some
00:02:45.220
major cons so there's some pros and some major cons thanks for the shout out uh elissa i wish
00:02:51.400
raheem were here to to give to give his thoughts uh but josh hammer i think we have you i can see you
00:02:57.200
sort of the glare is a little hard uh but josh i would love for you to walk us through the significance
00:03:02.220
of this pick and why you think predictably the sort of right wing establishment wing of the
00:03:07.860
republican party good old neocons or trump traders as we like to call them here um are really upset
00:03:13.460
about the pick just because they kind of it provides i would say really a extra powerful ticket your
00:03:19.480
thoughts josh natalie it's the single best pick that donald trump could have possibly made i have been
00:03:25.680
a public proponent of trump making this exact pick for many months now i wrote my syndicated column
00:03:30.640
back in march basically articulating the various reasons why picking jd vance makes the most sense
00:03:36.120
and i'll just walk through i guess some of those reasons briefly here you know natalie you hear
00:03:40.980
always from the k street consultant class of the republican party you hear oh you have to pick someone
00:03:46.420
who appeals to this demographic who appear who appeals to this you know intersectional identity group oh
00:03:52.140
you have to pick someone who appeals to women or immigrants or this color or this sexual orientation
00:03:56.440
you know first of all how about you pick someone who actually helps you with the bread and butter
00:04:01.720
of your very own base the actual people who got donald trump elected in 2016 which would be primarily
00:04:07.740
white working class and middle class voters across the american heartland and on a related point to that
00:04:13.720
if you're actually looking at the electoral college map right now natalie donald trump has a very
00:04:18.120
large lead in pretty much all of these sunbelt states nevada arizona georgia north carolina
00:04:22.860
obviously florida and texas not even in discussion right now those rust belt states he's leading in
00:04:27.900
most of them but sometimes it's still within the margin of error there is literally no one better
00:04:32.100
as even elissa farra seems to recognize to help this ticket continue to make inroads and to solidify
00:04:37.940
white voters but obviously also other race voters they are in the rust belt across michigan
00:04:42.900
pennsylvania and wisconsin in particular it very much puts minnesota in play i think minnesota a state
00:04:48.800
that hasn't voted for republicans at a presidential level going back literally decades trump got very
00:04:53.600
close to winning it back in 2016 also how about the the fact that he is a precocious 39 year old
00:05:00.160
i'm 35 jd i've known jd for years he's a friend he's four years older than i am jd vance is the most
00:05:06.520
eloquent spokesman i can possibly think of for our generation the millennial generation and the gen z
00:05:11.980
natalie i guess you're probably a gen z you're slightly younger than me jd vance is the guy who can speak
00:05:17.120
to the millennial and the j and the gen z frustration with the way that the boomers the boomer neoliberals
00:05:22.860
and the interventionists of both parties on the republican and the democrat side alike he speaks to
00:05:28.180
the ways that they have sold us out when it comes to all of the failed interventionist boondoggles trying
00:05:33.420
to spread democracy to third world islamist backwaters in iraq and afghanistan the neoliberal
00:05:38.420
free trade agenda i mean jd vance has seen that in ohio i have literally gotten a dinner with jd vance
00:05:45.160
in in a small town ohio just walking around there you you see what happens you see with your own
00:05:51.080
eyes what happens in the name of so-called free trade this fetishization of lower consumer prices
00:05:56.520
at the expense of manufacturing at the expense of a resilient secure american industrial base and
00:06:02.460
supply chain lines there he gets that he gets it at an instinctual visceral level and he's very very
00:06:08.240
well spoken he's a smart guy he's an eloquent guy there he absolutely can go on mainstream media as
00:06:14.480
again elissa farrow recognized there so i mean i am just over the moon i am just beyond happy here i i
00:06:20.300
didn't know exactly who the pick was going to be but all the tea leaves here in the final week were
00:06:24.620
kind of indicating jd vance he is absolutely spot on the perfect man for this current moment and i and
00:06:31.200
i just really cannot wait to see him up there this week at the convention and on the campaign trail for
00:06:37.100
now immigration i think is one of those issues that he's been particularly adept on and of course
00:06:44.260
he was one of the most staunch if not kind of flying solo defenders against continuous ukraine
00:06:50.400
aid packages but we hear over i think the last few weeks not divisions by any mean but sort of a
00:06:56.620
struggle within the trump campaign some people wanting trump to push harder to court to court voters
00:07:02.180
minority voters uh you know the african-american demographic and compounded with him dropping
00:07:09.120
the sort of retribution talk right trying to to make a better appeal to independent voters i'm just
00:07:14.420
curious how you think this selection and that it is you know a straight white man he's not leaning into
00:07:19.920
the diversity the dei hires on that um but also to just jd's kind of i would say political cv whether
00:07:27.900
it's ukraine immigration how you think that sort of plays into that not internal struggle but but
00:07:32.640
those debates going on within the campaign yeah sure so i guess two things kind of lead to mind
00:07:38.440
natalie so first of all i i mean jd vance obviously is a straight white male i mean you know he's kind
00:07:43.860
of the top of the or i guess actually it would be the bottom of the intersectional hierarchy of victims
00:07:48.920
to kind of use the critical theory nomenclature of the far left but you know it is worth pointing out
00:07:53.880
for whatever it may or may not be worth you know his wife usha who who i met before she's she's indian
00:07:59.180
she's she's also brilliant she's an attorney she's a partner at a law firm in ohio she clerks for chief
00:08:03.800
justice john roberts years ago they they met back when they were at yale law school together so you
00:08:08.960
know she's a very very very smart capable woman i'm sure she she will be excellent in front of a camera
00:08:13.280
so i can also easily see the two of them appearing before the cameras together in a way that i think will
00:08:18.920
kind of help make inroads you know with suburban voters there but you know there's one other thing to
00:08:23.560
bear in mind here natalie if you compare the the demographic sub-voting groups from 2016 to 2020
00:08:29.820
it's actually very interesting donald trump from 2016 to 2020 made inroads in virtually every
00:08:36.720
demographic imaginable black voters hispanic voters young voters millennials gen z do you know what the
00:08:42.420
one demographic was natalie that he actually lost support from 2016 to 2020 just based on all the
00:08:47.400
exit polling of time white working class voters that is his bread and butter that is his base that is
00:08:53.220
the base that that broke through the blue wall back in 2016 and delivered wisconsin pennsylvania
00:08:57.980
and michigan so at a time like this at a time where the republican party the rnc they are making
00:09:03.900
this the this is the convention of the forgotten man you know a very long way we've come by the way
00:09:08.660
since the romney ryan convention in tampa florida in 2012 which was dedicated to small business owners
00:09:13.760
now it's all about the forgotten man in flyover country again there is no better person to pick
00:09:19.520
to to double down and to re-solidify the very voters who constitute the core of today's modern
00:09:25.400
republican party which are working class and middle class voters and once again to double down on the
00:09:30.360
voters who deliver 2016 who on the margins actually peeled away between 2016 and 2020
00:09:35.580
i wish we lived in a world where elections were just determined by candidate quality but you know
00:09:43.540
election integrity discussions aside which we'll get into later in this show um of course lawfare
00:09:48.740
has played a considerable and hefty role and i think well i would say backfiring uh but in terms
00:09:54.380
of dictating president trump's ability to campaign and get out there has certainly i i think shifted
00:09:59.380
his messaging i'd love to get your thoughts you always come on to break down the latest in lawfare
00:10:04.000
news but on the classified documents case down in florida eileen cannon stepping up shall we say next
00:10:09.240
swimming up as we do here in the war room um your thoughts on that case being dismissed
00:10:13.020
impossible to overstate how huge a victory this is for donald trump i mean when all four of those
00:10:20.700
indictments dropped in 2023 like many others i immediately kind of latched onto the florida case
00:10:26.600
as potentially being the most troubling for donald trump now that indictment obviously had many many
00:10:32.140
flaws i mean the fact that jack smith was trying to prosecute trump on the espionage act this dusty
00:10:37.560
world war one era statute of dubious constitutionality that was obviously egregious but for for various
00:10:44.060
other reasons i i actually personally from a trump perspective was actually more worried about that
00:10:49.140
than probably any of the other cases so you cannot possibly overstate the the tremendous victory that
00:10:54.960
this is for for president trump on the legal merits judge aileen cannon did entirely the right thing
00:11:01.280
as folks like me my article three project colleague mike davis folks like julie kelly have been
00:11:05.640
pointing out for a very long time now jack smith has no legal authority whatsoever to try to prosecute
00:11:12.140
anyone to try to prosecute your local dog catcher let alone the former president of the united states
00:11:16.840
and the reason for that is very simple which is that the appointments clause of article two of the
00:11:20.720
constitution basically distinguishes between principal officers of the constitution meaning cabinet
00:11:26.180
officials in that case it's old school advice and consent the president nominates the senate confirms
00:11:30.760
and then you have inferior officers who a department head can appoint but only if they are authorized to
00:11:37.340
do so quote unquote by law and as clarence thomas really demonstrated in his powerful concurring
00:11:43.240
opinion in the trump immunity case trump versus united states clarence thomas i think powerfully
00:11:47.980
very persuasively argued that by law means you need a direct unambiguous on the books law to actually
00:11:55.300
authorize this you can't just kind of vaguely point as attorney general merrick garland did to like oh
00:12:01.060
there's a statute here that allows me to kind of hire someone from this or from that he was basically
00:12:05.980
trying to kind of cobble together a four or five little subsections buried deep in the bowels of
00:12:11.640
totally unrelated statutes and then argue that that somehow gave him the authority to to assign a
00:12:17.280
special counsel to prosecute the former president of the united states that's not how it works and this is a
00:12:21.820
huge vindication for clarence thomas it's a huge vindication for trump and judge aileen cannon you
00:12:27.280
know keep your eye on her she's a young trump nominee she deserves a ton of credit for having the
00:12:32.100
courage of her convictions she had previously held a series of hearings on this very subject so i am
00:12:37.240
deeply hardened and overjoyed at the fact that she has now demonstrated the courage of her convictions
00:12:41.920
to actually do the right thing and dismiss this case in its entirety
00:12:44.620
and josh i was asking mike davis this morning sort of what the track the future looks like for all
00:12:53.120
these various locker cases we know this is one of many but it's the only way that this case could be
00:12:58.480
revived is this is if the biden doj sort of reworked it and brought it in a different way do you think
00:13:04.600
they're going to double down on the other cases now well the biden doj has this case in the washington
00:13:10.820
dc case so one of the million dollar questions at this point natalie is whether or not the judge in
00:13:15.260
dc tanya chuckkin is actually going to follow aileen cannon's lead i mean now you had a federal judge
00:13:21.180
who issued a very powerful 93 page opinion explaining why jack smith was not legally appointed
00:13:26.600
is tanya chuckkin actually going to follow suit in washington dc that would be the correct thing to do
00:13:32.980
the reality is that the washington dc case is i mean maybe it's not literally on its deathbed but it
00:13:39.540
is certainly on hospice care at a bare minimum because recall in that particular case two of the
00:13:44.460
four charges against donald trump also involve the the statue these the subsection of the of the
00:13:51.640
2002 sarbanes i've got to let you go i'm sorry to interrupt you know we'll have you back it's it's
00:13:59.040

we'll see him thursday morning war and possibly right back up the elites are getting desperate they now
00:15:02.200
want to use the technology behind bitcoin for their own orwellian purposes their gold to dominate
00:15:07.820
our economy by forcing everyone to use central bank digital currencies which they control imagine
00:15:14.820

00:16:39.200
characters but i hear ben burquham i think we can bring you on i hear you went and uh
00:16:45.080
shall we say messed around with antifa a bit today all the the wonderful paid protesters i will say
00:16:50.220
i i took a walk through their little camp and saw the the pre-made signs and the u-hauls and the
00:16:55.440
pallets of water being busted totally organic i'm sure i'm sure the audience would love to hear your
00:17:00.980
thoughts on what you saw any good stories yeah well natalie i don't know if you saw the guy with
00:17:06.840
the sign i think it was my favorite sign of the day it said uh blm rent a riot uh and there was a guy
00:17:11.940
out there with the trump sign the only guy lone guy standing there with the maga hat on and he had
00:17:16.260
this massive sign said blm rent a riot that's basically what it was you had these leftist
00:17:20.640
groups from all over the country that were bussed in shipped in flown in to come out against president
00:17:25.740
trump and against the rnc and i went in for about an hour with them i had a couple of bottles of water
00:17:30.820
poured on me and luckily it was hot so and there was no spit and as far as i know in the bottle so
00:17:35.880
you know other than that it was uh no violence but it's the same people they're chanting
00:17:40.320
the there is only one solution communist revolution it's all the same garbage it's
00:17:45.460
it's this intersectionality of the worst aspects of american culture and i asked every single one
00:17:53.140
of them i asked over a hundred people do you denounce the assassination attempt against president
00:17:57.840
trump not a single one would say they denounced it so not surprisingly honestly but uh just a sad
00:18:04.200
representation of america and now we're here natalie we actually are right out in front of the again
00:18:11.400
i want to make sure we're clear on this yes again i want to make sure we're clear yeah yeah so we're
00:18:15.460
out in front of it's the phy serve yeah it's uh natalie it's the phy serve building it's not the
00:18:21.460
phyzer this this segment is not brought to you by phyzer it's the phy serve i just want to make sure
00:18:26.000
i said that in the morning too but we're here with uh joe belnomi i'm i'm more uh familiar with
00:18:31.200
you joe is jersey joe you are a delegate but you're also the republican nominee for uh jersey
00:18:37.680
excuse me new jersey for the 11th congressional district talk to me i want to talk to you first
00:18:41.880
though what's going on in new york today you said if you weren't here where would you be
00:18:45.600
yeah so um in support of donald trump after uh that heinous um assassination attempt people you
00:18:53.760
know they just want to get together they want to show support so at trump tower i know there was a
00:18:57.500
big gathering so if i didn't come here like i definitely would have went there i know a lot
00:19:01.200
of people had showed up and it's just like you know uh people are motivated more than ever you
00:19:05.640
know to support donald trump and it's just uh it's this is a culmination of every all of the
00:19:12.060
dehumanizing things the the media and the democrat party have said about donald trump it's just
00:19:17.260
inevitable that something like this could happen so i'm i'm hoping going forward you know they're
00:19:22.500
going to change the tone a little bit on this man because he's not hitler no matter how much they
00:19:27.120
try to convince you he is and he just wants to make america great again do you think that's going
00:19:31.460
to happen and by the way do you blame the media who do you blame obviously the gunman himself
00:19:35.860
pulled the trigger but who else do you blame for that the democrat party you know even my opponent
00:19:40.720
herself calls uh calls me a mega extremist she calls every republican a mega extremist even if they're
00:19:45.940
not like that pro trump it's like just weird you know this is new jersey where i'm from so it's not
00:19:50.020
like everybody's mega but um they're just using that and it's it's there there's a very brainwashed
00:19:56.680
um you know manipulative uh element of the the party of the democrat party we'll say uh that you
00:20:04.880
know they they take those words to heart and like they they want to do something because they go oh my
00:20:08.820
god they're calling these people extremists maybe i need to do something about it are you concerned for
00:20:13.900
that and are you are you seeing the opposite side of that are you seeing a shift towards president trump
00:20:18.660
because they've just taken this so far and obviously now with his the assassination attempt
00:20:23.180
you know it's it's i haven't even really had a time to even to see like i'm just i was getting ready
00:20:28.000
to go to rnc i mean i was getting phone calls ben you know me i go to a lot of trump rallies like
00:20:32.140
people are worried that i was there and and you know i i just happen to be it was in pennsylvania
00:20:36.200
but some other event but in my heart i'm thinking i wish i was there you know i just i i wanted to be
00:20:41.320
there for him even though i don't you know my life would have been in danger and there's nothing i would
00:20:45.180
have been able to do but you know that that's that's how i feel i think a lot of people have
00:20:48.780
that that sentiment and i you know i forgot what your question was you know and like i i really i
00:20:54.080
choked up you know that's like i feel like trump's like my family or something you know like and i i
00:20:58.220
just i really feel that he's the man that's going to save our country and save the world really because
00:21:02.240
we're seeing what's happened when we have weak leadership in america you know um it's a dumpster fire
00:21:07.360
you know people can't afford groceries they can't afford gas you know inflation's out of control our
00:21:12.580
borders wide open terrorists are coming or entering our country america is less safe now you look on
00:21:18.100
the other end of it our foreign policy you know there's wars breaking out everywhere you know there's
00:21:22.400
no end in sight we just keep throwing billions and billions and billions of dollars around the
00:21:26.160
world why americans are hurting you know they're kicking veterans out of housing to put illegal aliens
00:21:31.360
in there and they're handing them paychecks people that have worked their whole lives for you
00:21:35.460
know a pension are getting less money than illegal aliens that are just crossing the border into our
00:21:39.260
country what is happening here you know and that's that's that's deliberate that's a it's failed
00:21:43.700
policy if they're trying to get illegal aliens in here and put them on the role of voter rolls
00:21:48.420
you know that's it's very blatant and it's it's very obvious i hope that we we have things in
00:21:54.560
place i know that they're talking about attorneys and everything but we'll see what happens
00:21:57.840
joe joe i love you man we love president trump we stand with president trump you're seeing that

00:22:10.480

00:22:16.120

00:23:05.520
joined by the one and only patty lyman i know from the first time i saw you on war room i was like
00:23:10.100
she's a fighter so i'm honored to be interviewing you before we get into what's been going on inside
00:23:15.440
uh behind closed doors um i'd love if you could give the audience your thoughts on on all things jd
00:23:20.780
vance i could not be more thrilled at the president's choice of jd vance there are so many reasons
00:23:28.220
but what this choice tells me natalie is that the president is at the helm not the consultant class
00:23:36.520
not the grifters not the hacks he made this decision one man to another and he saw what so
00:23:45.960
many of us see in jd vance um i saw the movie of his life hillbilly elegy just a couple of days ago
00:23:53.760
everybody out there i never boost netflix but i will right now go to netflix run don't walk watch
00:24:01.080
the movie hillbilly elegy it is the story of jd vance's early life and the things that that man
00:24:09.220
has overcome i cried watching it and i already knew it was going to turn out okay for him and i still
00:24:14.660
cried watching it you will have so much respect and love for him and what he's been through jd vance
00:24:22.200
is every man it isn't about him being a straight white male that's irrelevant what voters want to
00:24:29.340
see is someone leading them who understands their life their lived experience as steve puts it how
00:24:37.660
many people have gone through the experience of having their credit card turned down because it
00:24:42.520
was over the limit um how many people have tried to put a family member in rehab and couldn't get them
00:24:48.300
in because they didn't have insurance how many people have been at that fancy dinner and didn't
00:24:52.760
really know what fork to use because hey i'm from the wrong side of the tracks i don't really belong
00:24:58.440
here but let's see if i can if i can make it through so many of i'm the first person in my family ever to
00:25:04.340
go to college i've been practicing constitutional law for 27 years but i know what it's like to be in a
00:25:11.980
family that has climbed up and i think his the experience is universal also in addition to him
00:25:18.760
if people want to look at demographics in addition to him being married to a brilliant indian wife he
00:25:24.820
is also a recent catholic convert he grew up in a protestant evangelical um environment but he's a
00:25:31.980
catholic convert and you know what i think what women are looking for for instance is not somebody who
00:25:39.000
looks like me who has the same uh uh chromosomes that i have women are looking to feel safe women
00:25:48.700
want leaders to be strong if that strong leader happens to be a woman fantastic we're all for it
00:25:55.400
but i believe that the combination of strength presented by president donald j trump and jd vance
00:26:02.760
literally will be unbeatable and i have to say a word about our president i was watching live
00:26:08.640
on rsbn last saturday um when the assassination attempt took place and all of us had our hearts
00:26:17.780
dropped to the bottom of our stomach but that fist pump from the president was 100 percent gangster
00:26:27.820
it was the most gangster thing i've ever seen most badass president ever in the history of mankind
00:26:39.520
and you know what i love about him natalie his strong defiance his determination we all need to be
00:26:49.220
pumping that fist in the air just like that take that you didn't get me you're not taking this down
00:26:55.260
and do you feel that sentiment inside those walls i feel it a hundred percent inside inside in the
00:27:01.960
of course i was in the virginia delegation and people weren't really knowing who the vp choice was
00:27:07.480
until you know it was a little while before um president trump went over the top but we weren't all sure
00:27:13.840
some people um speculated it would be our governor and i'm grateful every day that our governor is our
00:27:19.000
governor but maga is ascendant america first is ascendant being the voice of the middle class
00:27:26.540
that forgotten man is ascendant that is our new republican party that is the only our new republican
00:27:33.580
party is the only republican party that is going to survive beyond where we are now we have elements
00:27:39.780
of our party that are fighting it that want our party to go back the other way but they did not get
00:27:45.640
their way in this vp pick not at all and i'm so grateful that our president still remembers more
00:27:52.440
than ever who he represents yeah cry harder consultant class grifters and hacks i like that
00:27:58.900
patty if you can stay with us i would love to all right awesome warren posse we will be back after the

interview with you can you kind of pick up where you left off walking us through what's going on
00:29:54.900
inside those doors for the audience who hasn't watched or been able to what is going on inside those
00:29:59.420
doors is a tremendous amount of excitement for our gladiator president who has been there for us
00:30:07.100
for eight years straight he's never backed off nobody could have endured what he has endured
00:30:13.260
and still come for strong his first concern at all moments is to lead us his supporters all the american
00:30:21.920
people whether they supported him or not he's a president for all of us i know he has a desire
00:30:27.040
hopefully to come out and say hello later on to reassure us the reason he did that fist bump to
00:30:33.640
the crowd and said keep fighting was to reassure the crowd he cared about us he cared about the people
00:30:40.140
that were there we are a team we are saving this country come hell or high water and those who need
00:30:47.600
to who have to decide people have to decide whether they're going to get on board or get out of the way
00:30:53.420
because we are moving forward to save this country we will do it with president trump and with jd vance
00:30:58.820
and with the true patriots surrounding president trump please everyone continue to pray non-stop for
00:31:07.180

shot trump what was it at 6 11 p.m so 6 11 p.m and ephesians 6 11 is put on the full armor of god
00:32:03.280
and i just wanted to say that for the full armor of god and but but it's it's important to have in
00:32:08.820
times like this because unfortunately for someone out there we have to send a message and and it is
00:32:15.240
it's actually a breakup message did you know that we're going to send a breakup message
00:32:18.360
to carl rove and the neocons and john bolton and rupert murdoch and all of them out there
00:32:27.620
more toxic than my ex we're through more toxic than natalie winter's exes we're through we're done
00:32:34.120
we're not coming back ever again and just to be clear about something it's not us it's you it's
00:32:41.440
you and it's definitely you we're never coming back you guys are never going to take this party back
00:32:49.180
ever again so for all the coping and the seething that is going on out there you know what keep it
00:32:56.340
up because you're going to be doing it for the next 35 years to quote someone we'll bring it full
00:33:02.780
circle taylor swift we are never ever ever getting back together and with those final words i'm going
00:33:09.600
to leave because i got to go get in my car to go to tim's show but i see you have a whole deck of
00:33:13.880
guests we do the deck is stacked because i'm going to do a very elegant exit the work never stops here
00:33:18.580
in the war room thank you guys let's let's bring on go catch natalie winter she's going off to do
00:33:22.740
temple we got mike davis the viceroy caitlin sinclair the new turning points action spokeswoman
00:33:28.440
was no no rose between the thorns rose between the thorns here rose between the thorns as is
00:33:33.540
necessary i i and i just want to say that the initial reactions i've just come from inside where jd
00:33:41.560
vance received the nomination he hasn't spoken yet but i saw him there this guy i don't think he could
00:33:47.340
have spoken by the way because he was getting choked up you could tell the emotions were getting to
00:33:51.820
him but i'm looking around on fox news carl rove is melting down he looks like he looks like i don't
00:33:59.740
know like a side of ham that got left out in the sun for too long he's very upset he's sobbing he's
00:34:06.240
you got you've got bolton all of these types what what messages do we have for and caitlin not that
00:34:12.260
you would know about this but for anyone going through a bad breakup like carl rove right now
00:34:16.260
what what kind of message would you have for him uh i'm gonna use the candace owens quote here
00:34:20.440
get a helmet life's tough right get a helmet and and we see these crybabies and and this is a result
00:34:27.200
of fear-mongering and being so scared so this was this is what the american people on a serious note
00:34:32.320
though caitlin is is this a generational pick from donald trump i think so i think this is also
00:34:38.340
speaking to the cultural shift right since saturday about unity and coming together and having love
00:34:44.600
of country again and we need that for the younger generations that have not grown up with love of
00:34:48.980
country or patriotism jack or pride for this country and i think jd vance really represents
00:34:53.740
that now speaking to some i've been choosing someone 39 years old under 40 the first time
00:34:58.740
that we've seen a pic like this in a long time mike davis walk us through a little bit i was reporting
00:35:03.140
on the morning show that you just saw every single america last republican was trying this last ditch
00:35:10.740
effort to get marco rubio or nikki haley or someone else and and how would you describe what trump
00:35:17.420
just did to them hey president trump made very clear that this is an america first republican party
00:35:25.320
by picking senator jd vance from ohio he is a fantastic pick he is young he is very smart he's
00:35:33.540
very conservative he's populist he is going to be the future of the republican party after the trump
00:35:40.380
presidency and i cannot be more happy about jd vance he's great on every issue he's great on the big tech
00:35:47.120
fight he's great on the judicial fight he is a rock solid pick and it shows that president trump
00:35:52.480
is serious about governing and serious about serious about the america first agenda and i'll i'll throw
00:35:59.480
out since you mentioned america first that jd vance is a pick for peace jd vance is a pick that tells the
00:36:07.740
warmongers that tells the war party that tells the military industrial complex that tells the endless wars
00:36:13.300
that you know what no more blank checks to you all of your money that's been flowing through washington
00:36:20.060
all of your money that's been going into the purses of all of the governors and senators that you've been
00:36:25.000
propping up no we're not going to touch it this is a generational pick i think in many ways a baton
00:36:31.440
that's being handed off to say you know what we want the future of this party the future of this movement
00:36:37.900
to be america first he is taking the country and the party and moving it in a new direction where
00:36:44.760
america will no longer be this global empire where we're sticking our nose in everybody's business
00:36:50.420
where we're running around trying to mitigate all these border disputes between country after country
00:36:55.840
that we are going to be a country that stands for the well-being of the american man the american woman
00:37:01.420
of american children and by the way if you're growing up in this country he's going to make
00:37:06.180
this country his priority and the best in the world and by the way not just for the people
00:37:10.900
in new york and la but in ohio and in milwaukee wisconsin and in the forgotten american michigan
00:37:17.920
and on in western pennsylvania in the south and all of these places that we're supposed to say that we
00:37:23.820
don't worry about them but we're supposed to worry about kablekistan that's like 10 000 miles away
00:37:29.280
to just natalie i'm sorry natalie just left caitlin i'm a little i'm a little sunburn here
00:37:33.800
caitlin talk to me about what it feels like when because you're working with gen z with turning
00:37:39.620
point action what is it like when they come to you and they hear about the the party and it was the
00:37:45.420
party of the past that was always seemed to be focused on stuff that was far away from us yeah
00:37:50.420
exactly and jack we talked about this earlier last week right gen z this is a generation that grew up
00:37:55.900
hearing about how great this country used to be right post 9 11 hearing about love of country and pride
00:38:01.980
for this country and faith and god and the family unit and this is a generation that is longing for
00:38:08.040
all of that again they're longing for america first policies once again they're longing for
00:38:12.260
the family unit once again they're longing for love of country once again and that's why you see them
00:38:17.380
getting so involved can i can i i was thinking about our interview last week and i'm glad you brought
00:38:21.660
it up because do you remember and now mike you can this is interesting for you too as well because
00:38:25.820
caitlin you said something during our interview which was last week during the week so before
00:38:30.960
saturday and you were talking about the post 9 11 unity moment and you were saying that gen z
00:38:37.760
can't imagine america that could come together in the face of tragedy tragedy and then saturday night
00:38:46.020
happens donald trump survives an assassin's bullet by moments and suddenly it does kind of feel like
00:38:54.940
there's this push towards unity are you seeing that absolutely i think this is the cultural shift that
00:39:00.360
we've been talking about just over the past few days and i think you're going to see that that
00:39:04.560
sentiment echoed even here this week at the rnc right again this is a generation that is fed up
00:39:09.900
they feel like they've been lied to they've been stolen from they've been robbed and they've been
00:39:14.500
disenfranchised and i used to refer to this group jack is the most apathetic group i don't think that's
00:39:19.320
the case anymore i think they really want to get involved and they want to make a difference
00:39:22.940
and you know what we're doing at turning point action we just launched our gen z coalition
00:39:26.520
encouraging young people to have a voice to get involved and what better way than to actually
00:39:32.420
chase ballots right donald trump will save us but we have to save him first and that obviously involves
00:39:38.640
getting out to the so mike davis let me throw it to you for a second because this is so cute and
00:39:42.260
caitlin i was thinking about our interview by the way the other day that she and i were talking about
00:39:45.940
gen z to them 9-11 is something they read about in a in a history book the post 9-11 moment is
00:39:52.820
something they've heard of but don't really never really quite bought do you think that when you
00:39:58.120
talk to other members of the party when you're when you're working on the hill do they understand
00:40:02.000
how disconnected they are from the regular people out in the country they are very disconnected from
00:40:08.780
real americans in real america on capitol hill particularly on capitol hill and i think
00:40:13.360
with president trump he look president trump doesn't need this job he's already had he has a
00:40:18.820
nicer house he has a nicer car he has a nicer helicopter he has a nicer airplane he does not
00:40:24.160
need to do this what president biden has put president trump through with this republic ending
00:40:29.660
lawfare and election interference they try to bankrupt him they've tried to throw him in prison for the
00:40:34.600
rest of his life they try to throw him off the ballot trump's enemies even tried to kill him right
00:40:39.100
and president trump is putting everything on the line and he has a really good wingman now with jd
00:40:45.760
vance so the future so let me ask you about this lawfare though mike davis because biden comes out and
00:40:50.220
he says we need unity and he's sitting there behind the resolute desk and he said we need national unity
00:40:54.700
but why is it that joe biden didn't follow up that speech with saying and i'm going to take the next step
00:41:00.960
by commuting the sentence of stephen k bannon and commuting the sentence of peter navarro and looking at a
00:41:07.140
full presidential pardon why won't he do that because president biden is a sick evil bad person
00:41:13.160
and i don't say that lately i don't i didn't say that about president obama biden's a bad person and
00:41:18.580
the fact that he politicized and weaponized our intel agencies our law enforcement to go after trump
00:41:25.000
his top aides like peter navarro and steve bannon who are sitting in prison right now his attorneys like
00:41:30.400
uh jeffrey clark and john eastman and rudy giliani his supporters on january 6th parents christians this
00:41:37.740
president biden is a bad person he should he should bow out his own party doesn't want him he's a
00:41:44.160
disgrace look i said this earlier today on human events daily i'll say it again here there's been
00:41:49.460
this talk about unity and i appreciate unity but i will say this unity does not come for free
00:41:56.400
unity is achieved through victory unity through victory and so we are going to see victory first
00:42:05.200
and of course president trump made his announcement of the pick of jd vance just minutes after my show
00:42:09.980
ended so you know i love that in terms of the breaking news but i will say this and this is going
00:42:13.460
to be my message going forward here victory through unity through victory unity through victory we are
00:42:20.520
not going to forget how we got here we're not going to forget the fact that we've got people like
00:42:24.560

like to also introduce a man who really needs no introduction ladies and gentlemen mr mike lindell
00:46:11.660
all right and mike mike let me let me get yours because you know we're all doing kind of reacting to
00:46:20.800
this latest pick president trump choosing senator jd vance what does it mean to you who's someone from
00:46:27.580
places that people refer to as fly over america that he picked someone from the middle of the
00:46:32.960
country well i think that's important but i also i know jd vance i met him and i think if for my two
00:46:38.680
picks he was in the top two i would have picked him or ben carson and uh i gotta trust our great
00:46:43.040
real president he takes it all in the information he usually makes great choices and uh so i think it's
00:46:48.960
very important and i think he will uh he help he i know he has a passion for help our country and help
00:46:54.520
people all people i think this is going to say a lot to our real president's administration where
00:47:00.460
the decisions made help all americans not just a party and i think that's really important that
00:47:05.880
and that's what they would stand for this is the new mega bucket that uh you make decisions common
00:47:10.880
sense the common sense party as our great real president calls it and i think jd vance will fit
00:47:15.540
perfect into that absolutely captain bantam what are your thoughts what are your thoughts what are your
00:47:19.000
commentary well i think that it's nice and refreshing to have someone young in office you know
00:47:23.880
he's 39 years old so you know a young perspective younger voices but given what happened saturday we
00:47:31.000
need to make sure that everyone is registered to vote so that these two can be back in the white
00:47:35.740
house so if you're registered to vote you need to make sure your family members are registered to
00:47:39.920
vote your friends are registered to vote because we need both of these gentlemen back president trump
00:47:45.000
back in the white house and jd vance in the white house as well we're currently standing and i i don't
00:47:49.720
bring this up lightly but we are currently standing about two blocks away from where over a hundred
00:47:57.320
years ago teddy roosevelt famously was shot while giving a speech that was right here in milwaukee
00:48:03.680
wisconsin right where actually the hyatt regency is now that's right where it is and and it was there
00:48:10.320
was an open air platform there mike lindell do you believe that what we saw with president trump on
00:48:17.480
saturday night was an act of divine intervention absolutely he said it too you know he said it too
00:48:24.360
and the picture of the usually talk like that no and you know what when you've seen him down on the
00:48:29.760
ground the one picture where they show him on the ground it's like right there you could feel the
00:48:33.760
presence of god talking to us it's gonna be okay it's gonna be okay and i you know that picture i brought
00:48:39.600
tears to my eyes because you could just feel that and he and you know i just did interviews inside
00:48:44.300
with uh london and media from all over the world and i but i was telling they asked me one thing do
00:48:51.820
you think now it'll be a a message of uniting and i said that has been his message he is the biggest
00:48:57.940
uniter this country has ever seen in history and now it's even going to be more prominent when you
00:49:04.040
when politicians and administrations make decisions where it doesn't help any people
00:49:09.580
there's a hidden agenda and it's a very evil agenda this is a spiritual battle of biblical proportions and
00:49:16.480
you're going to see his messaging now his he's so easy to unite everybody around the horrific things
00:49:23.060
that have been going on uh and that manifested into that assassination maureen i've got to ask
00:49:28.640
because joe biden came out and said that he wants unity but can we have unity while your father and
00:49:36.100
peter navarro remain behind bars when joe biden could let them out with a stroke of a pen no we can't have
00:49:41.460
unity and the fact that it's a two-tiered uh justice system the fact that peter navarro is still in prison
00:49:47.260
my dad is still in prison and merrick garland is roaming free and not arrested shows that they don't
00:49:53.840
care about the right so we cannot have unity while these two men are political prisoners and i under i
00:49:59.900
know that peter navarro gets out this week but he's been in for four months he was a political
00:50:06.100
prisoner for four months we cannot have unity until both of these men are out of prison unity through
00:50:12.580
victory that's unity through victory and you know and i'm talking about unity of the people not the
00:50:19.720
political parties here there's a different the people i go i'm gonna go i'm gonna try and get
00:50:24.540
chicago to get in the democrat convention i said it should be easier to flip people to this bucket of
00:50:29.280
common sense now mike mike we just got about a minute left where could people go to keep up with
00:50:33.460
everything you're doing here at the convention you know and i want to thank the war room posse and i
00:50:37.060
