ActBlue.org is a website that allows people to give money to Democratic candidates and causes through their website. But is it all a scam? And what s going on with all the money coming in and going out? Stephen K. Kamb and Caroline Wren join host Stephen Kamb to discuss.
00:17:56.000The mainstream media in real time, in front of our very eyes, is trying to create a new narrative to shift to.
00:18:03.000Saying that J.D. Vance isn't going down well anymore, and he was the wrong candidate to have as Donald Trump's running mate against Kamala Harris.
00:18:26.000Because I think he's a fantastic candidate.
00:18:30.000No, of course the media narrative is always wrong.
00:18:33.000And so the smear campaign, though, that the media is running against J.D. Vance right now, particularly over the last 24 hours, is unlike nothing I've ever seen.
00:18:41.000I was watching CNN yesterday because I'm just curious.
00:18:44.000I mean, it was 24 straight hours of just brutal smearing of this man.
00:18:48.000And so I think J.D. Vance was an incredible pick.
00:18:50.000He's gonna be an incredible partner to President Trump.
00:19:03.000And the way you know he was the right pick was a poll came out, I think it was yesterday, that said that 80% of D.C. congressional staff and lobbyists said,
00:22:58.000If we look at General George Washington and his first resignation from the army, which occurred in December 1783, where it was at the Annapolis State House, where this is really one of the great events in American history.
00:23:14.000He resigns his commission, which he doesn't have to do.
00:23:19.000He's the most powerful man in the world at the time.
00:24:42.000And they're now reconstructing the entire narrative to reconstruct all the facts as well.
00:24:47.000And, you know, to airbrush over everything that has taken place, the fact that she was, you know, in charge of the, you know, the border situation by Joe Biden.
00:24:59.000Now that's all better is being erased and everything is, you know, is changing by the press.
00:25:06.000And they're now attacking J.D. Vance and President Trump and everything else.
00:25:13.000So you don't think this is going to be a very successful strategy from the mainstream media now trying to rewrite Joe Biden into a great renunciation, a great leaving of office on his own terms.
00:25:31.000It's not it's not going to play with people.
00:27:36.000All these things need to be emphasized.
00:27:39.000Patrick, you know, when we come back after the break, I'm going to come in and ask you about this empathy thing, which I don't see that being a significant factor 250 years ago at the founding of the public.

00:30:41.000And I'll tell you why I'm glad he went there, because I said and I've been saying since this whole thing started, this could be bigger than 08.
00:32:35.000Did they go for the quality of the character as the attributes?
00:32:40.000Perhaps, for example, fresh in our minds, the image of 13th of July, the character of strength in under pressure, strength in adversity, as Donald Trump memorably showed himself to have under the assassination attempt.
00:32:56.000Yeah, Ben, the founders were our greatest generation.
00:33:03.000They came up with the ideas that changed the world, freedom and liberty, and our version of freedom and liberty, which was groundbreaking at the time.
00:33:13.000And it would change everything in the world as we exported it in 1775 and 1776.
00:33:20.000It would change, you know, old empires with democracy as time went on.
00:33:26.000But the founders, especially George Washington, was imbued with leadership and character.
00:33:33.000And he was battle tested in the most, you know, horrendous environment possible.
00:33:39.000He was facing the greatest army and navy of the world at the time.
00:33:43.000He was also facing internal politics within the United States and our first American Civil War.
00:33:50.000And, you know, it's in that cauldron that he is able to build alliances with France and Spain and build alliances internally.
00:34:00.000And, you know, he changes strategy during the American Revolutionary War several times, which is an incredible thing as a military leader who constantly, in many cases, faces defeat as well as victory.
00:34:16.000And then pulls off the unbelievable by, you know, achieving victory during the American Revolution.
00:34:23.000He's the indispensable man of the American Revolution.
00:34:26.000I get into his story in The Indispensables and Washington's Immortals.
00:34:30.000And then it's after the war that they have to forge a nation, which is incredible in and of itself and the Constitution.
00:34:53.000And, you know, current vice president doesn't have any of those characteristics.
00:34:58.000In fact, she was sidelined during the entire, you know, Biden administration.
00:35:03.000And it would be, you know, you look at that record, which is, which is a, it's almost nonexistent.
00:35:10.000But in the situation where she was, you know, actively given responsibility, such as the border, it was a disastrous situation.
00:35:20.000You just mentioned the two characteristics of leadership and character and having those characteristics battle tested.
00:35:30.000If you were to go on a superficial aesthetic basis, as they were doing, I think, on MSNBC, saying that, you know, this is, you know, you need to have a president who, a person who looks like the president.
00:35:45.000As far as I'm concerned, you know, getting up after an assassination attempt, being grazed, and you don't, you don't know how badly you've been hit in those kind of scenarios.
00:35:56.000I don't think Ronald Reagan knew he'd been shot when he'd been shot.
00:35:59.000So Donald Trump doesn't know whether he's been shot or how badly he's damaged.
00:36:03.000He gets up, the secret service tried to push him off the stage.
00:36:08.000He turns around and gives a fist pump to the crowd and says, fight, fight, fight.
00:36:14.000To me, Patrick O'Donnell, when you're talking about sort of character and being battle tested, that is literally there.
00:36:23.000If you wanted to pick a presidential candidate on the basis of someone who looks like a president, that to me looks like a president.
00:36:32.000It's about leading by example as well and not, you know, blaming others and just taking control, being a man of action, being a person of action.
00:36:47.000It's what all 13 books I've written are about, especially Unvanquished, how small groups of individuals can change the course of history.
00:36:57.000There's I think there's comparison with President Trump with Teddy Roosevelt, who, you know, Admiral was was also nearly assassinated, but continued his speech.
00:37:08.000You know, it's it's a person of action that that is there, that is actively trying to change history.
00:37:16.000And I think that's the important thing. It's all about character and leadership.
00:37:20.000Patrick O'Donnell, thanks for coming on the show today and using your vast experience as a historian.
00:37:27.000As you say, 13 published books to help correct this shifting narrative in the face of the mainstream media's most desperate attempts.
00:37:38.000So basically, you don't think Kamala Harris is the second coming of General Chin Chinatus.
00:37:43.000And where can people go to get to get hold of your books and your your jet on social media in your general commentary and analysis?
00:37:54.000I'm sure it's at Combat Historian, which is on Getter, as well as X.
00:38:01.000My books are all on Amazon dot com and Barnes and Noble dot com at the front of the store.
00:38:06.000And, you know, the Unvanquished is a bestselling book.
00:38:10.000You know, I really appreciate everybody in the posse for their support coming out to many of my my presentations and book signings.

00:39:38.000So Brian Kennedy, good morning to you.
00:39:41.000I see here that you have an article out in the American mind, headline, the diminishing likelihood of a fair election.
00:39:50.000You know what that dovetails quite nicely into something that we've been talking about all morning on the show today.
00:39:58.000And this is the Rasmussen reports poll that was published yesterday, which says that 65 percent of Americans are concerned that cheating will affect the outcome of the 2024 election.
00:40:11.000Before you tell us a little bit now about this article of yours, can you tell me your response to this Rasmussen poll?
00:40:58.000The war room posse needs to understand that it's not about sitting and just watching the war room.
00:41:05.000It's going to be about in the next coming months doing more than that, taking those steps, going to websites like Protect the Vote that Alex was talking about earlier, and really engaging in politics like never before.
00:41:20.000Even though there's a lot of good groups doing a lot of things on election integrity, you're not going to do that.
00:41:26.000You're not going to secure it, as it were, between now and November.
00:41:31.000We're going to have to outwork the other side.
00:41:33.000We're going to have to have to do everything in our power to get our neighbors, friends, family voting for the candidate of their choice.
00:41:42.000In my opinion, that would be Donald Trump, in my personal opinion.
00:41:46.000That would be Donald Trump, because he's the only man who can stand against the communist revolution we find ourselves in today.
00:41:53.000Everything you've described this morning are aspects of a communist revolution.
00:41:58.000The modern media behaves like the Soviet, you know, Pravda in days of old.
00:42:03.000Everything, nearly everything you were hearing from the mainstream media is a lie.
00:42:49.000If the last election was stolen, just coming out in greater numbers, how sure can you be on the back of this article that you've just written that that can resolve the situation?
00:44:47.000I don't think we've had a chance on the show really to drill down on this in as much detail as I would have liked.
00:44:52.000There has been a manufactured outrage on behalf of the mainstream media due to a comment that J.D. Vance had made a couple of years ago about the Democrats being won by childless cat ladies.
00:45:06.000And obviously that's now being a personalized attack made against Kamala Harris director.
00:45:11.000Well, what's your take on this and where do you think the campaign should go in handling it?
00:45:16.000Look, the campaign should embrace the things that J.D. Vance represents.
00:45:21.000He represents a devotion to his family first and foremost.
00:45:26.000He thinks the American family like his family needs to be strengthened at every turn.
00:45:32.000The American family is under assault today.
00:45:35.000You look at the state of California where I live.
00:45:37.000Gavin Newsom is now going to have basically allow the the sex of children to be changed or to be altered in some fundamental way without their parents knowing about it.
00:45:49.000There's an assault by the federal government and state governments against the American family.
00:45:56.000J.D. Vance is really trying to defend that family.
00:45:59.000And when he says Kamala Harris is a crazy cat lady, you know, quite often she acts like a crazy cat lady.
00:46:05.000And instead of instead of having children, she wants to run the United States as if we were we were, you know, some kind of Soviet gulag.
00:46:15.000And the radicalism of the American left right now can be represented in Kamala Harris.
00:46:22.000I don't think we should be worried about Kamala Harris as a presidential candidate.
00:46:28.000However, Kamala Harris is is a very unsuccessful candidate on the national level.
00:46:34.000She was able to win in California because she had very good connections with the Democratic establishment.
00:46:40.000When the American people see Kamala Harris in every crazy thing she says, the characterization by J.D. Vance will look pretty accurate.
00:46:49.000The childless part, that's it. That's an irrelevant piece of what J.D. was saying.
00:46:54.000He really meant meant to say that he really was saying, in fact, that Kamala Harris is a kind of crazy person, much like the American left.
00:47:03.000And I think we do need to understand that the American left today has lost their minds.
00:47:08.000You look at their tolerance for these open borders, and that was under Kamala Harris.
00:47:13.000And you look at what happened this week in Washington, D.C., where you had these pro-Palestinian activists really defiling and defacing the American capital and various American monuments around the city burning American flags.
00:47:29.000That's what people like Kamala Harris really think about this country.
00:47:36.000One thing I should mention, Ben, is members of the Committee on the Present Danger China, Rahim Kassam, members of the War Room regulars, are going to be in Phoenix, Arizona this on August 3rd, Saturday, August 3rd.
00:47:53.000So, a week from tomorrow, doing a day-long event in our road show on World War III, the early years.
00:48:01.000This is an idea of Stephen Bannon's that he had us, you know, begin many months ago.
00:48:10.000I would encourage all the War Room Posse to go to AmericanFreedomAlliance.org and get more information about it.
00:48:18.000We can talk about it more next week, but I think it will be an important thing for folks in Arizona to really drill down on the fight we're in right now.
00:48:39.000And where can people go in the meantime to stay in touch with your analysis, to get, for example, your superb article there in American Mind?
