A new piece in the Atlantic takes a deep dive into the prayers given at the beginning of Trump rallies, and analyzes why America s religious right is firmly behind Donald Trump. Guest: David Axelrod, former White House strategist and current CNN analyst.
00:01:53.000They're living inside this kind of right wing media ecosystem in which Donald Trump is constantly being presented as an infallible hero.
00:02:03.000Right. And if you believe that, if you believe that Trump is righteous, that everything he does is de facto good,
00:02:10.000it's impossible to see anything that happens in this campaign that goes the wrong way as anything other than the work of the devil.
00:02:19.000Of course, if you believe that this election is a battle between good and evil and that God is on your side,
00:02:26.000if your side loses, you have to believe that something is amiss, right?
00:02:31.000It plants the seeds of conspiracy theory.
00:02:33.000It plants the seeds of election denialism.
00:02:35.000You know, certainly I was I was thinking about that as I was reviewing these prayers.
00:02:40.000But I'll say that I'm almost just as concerned as what happens if Trump wins.
00:02:45.000I quote toward the end of the piece from a prayer that was given in Iowa where the pastor who is praying promises righteous retribution
00:02:58.000for if Donald Trump is reelected against those who would seek to do evil.
00:03:03.000And again, you know, I think that both sides can be guilty of ratcheting up the stakes of any given election to be too high.
00:03:11.000But this is an example of where if you believe that, again, God is on your side.
00:03:16.000It is it becomes very risky that you believe that a win is not only an electoral mandate, but a divine mandate to do whatever you want.
00:03:28.000And so I do think that we need to think about that and keep that in the back of our minds as we're looking at some of the rhetoric coming out of the Trump campaign.
00:03:38.000Back in the war room, Dave Brett sitting in with the great Stephen K.
00:03:42.000Bannon, the commentary from the left on the Judeo Christian tradition is about as deep as a wading pool.
00:03:53.000They don't know what they're talking about.
00:03:55.000They the left, the Marxists that we just got done referring to reject God categorically.
00:04:00.000If they have a problem with the Judeo Christian West, which is the only worldview that I'm aware of right now, if you just look at the history of art, music, religion, science, everything,
00:04:14.000it is the story of the Judeo Christian West, starting with the rabbinic tradition going through the Greeks.
00:04:21.000And the Western synthesis is basically the synthesis between Greek reason and the Judeo Christian religion.
00:04:28.000And those guardrails have served us great.
00:04:31.000We've built a republic that is miraculous, giving rights to every minority group.
00:04:36.000And yet they mock this tradition and the greatness that it has achieved.
00:04:42.000They just ridicule it, as you just heard on that thing.
00:05:27.000And so the folks out there, if you're in any of those camps and then the Christians, right, the Olympics, why in the world are we treated to ridicule in the opening evening of the Olympics where the Christians are just lambasted?
00:06:28.000I've helped to run the political party in Texas.
00:06:30.000Nine years was was here over the state party in Texas, one of the two state leaders.
00:06:34.000So I've been through a lot of elections.
00:06:35.000And so what I saw that was interesting to me was back to the first of this year, there was an influx of all the media saying the same thing at the same time.
00:06:43.000And whenever I see the media start to repair, repeat and parrot the same phrase, I know something's up.
00:06:48.000And that phrase was Christian nationalism.
00:06:50.000Suddenly, Christian nationalism is all over the media.
00:09:48.000We monitored 152,000 pieces of state legislation last year.
00:09:52.000I can tell you pretty much what's going on with any issue in any state.
00:09:55.000And it was interesting to see that a state just passed a law that said you cannot have a recount if you question the results of an election.
00:10:08.000I don't think our political prosperity is very high right now.
00:10:23.000And that goes to religion and morality.
00:17:18.000Listen, United Sovereign Americans just just released our aggregate findings.
00:17:23.000So as you know, United Sovereign Americans looks through the voter registration lists and the voter participation histories to discover, hey, are the people of the United States of America,
00:19:08.000They had in the 2022 midterm election, one out of every three votes counted in that election came from a registrant who the state says was registered to vote on January 1st.
00:19:27.000This was the election when the citizens of Ohio amended their constitution in favor of lax abortion laws, supposedly.
00:19:37.000What we want to know is prove it to us, Frank LaRose.
00:19:42.000That's why United Sovereign Americans is filing a lawsuit today actually in federal court in the state of Ohio to match our existing litigation already pending in Maryland and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, asking the federal courts to enforce the law for the 2024 election.
00:20:02.000Because when you have a voting system that is supposed to accurately measure only the intent of eligible citizen voters across the United States of America and you get an average voting error rate of 13%, quite frankly, you have trampled the third sentence of the Constitution.
00:20:23.000The people of the several states shall choose their representatives.
00:21:19.000So the issue is, and this is really the crux of it, Dave, which is because people say, well, hey, you know, it's just a clerical error.
00:21:26.000You know what, when a state actually grants a ballot and grants access to the ballot box equally to an invalid registrant as a demonstrably proven, validated, verified citizen voter, they are committing a count of federal election fraud.
00:21:46.000You cannot dilute the votes of qualified citizen voters in this manner.
00:21:53.000So every time they gave one of those 10 million ballots out, they were technically committing election fraud.
00:22:00.000Now, of course, you know, in the past, before relentless, right, we would have had to say, hey, well, it's just the administrative privilege.
00:22:08.000They just know better when they look at a January 1st registration date, they just magically know how legitimate that is.
00:22:16.000And they magically know that it's a default date that just happened to be entered into a database that is critical national security infrastructure.
00:22:26.000But hey, now that we're passed relentless, though, I think the American people finally have an opportunity.
00:22:32.000And that's why we're filing all these lawsuits to say, you know what, prove it to us.
00:24:44.000Donald Trump is still beating Kamala Harris by five points in a two way matchup.
00:24:49.000Now, we all have to acknowledge that the switcheroo happened barely more than 10 or 11 days ago.
00:24:55.000Hasn't been a lot of time to get a lot of data out.
00:24:58.000We had Trump winning over Kamala Harris last week after only three nights of data by seven points.
00:25:04.000But in our opinion, it was a little too soon.
00:25:07.000And I think you saw that a lot of people rushed to put polls out.
00:25:10.000Some polls that had Kamala Harris up were cherry picked and a lot of attention was given to those.
00:25:16.000As far as I know, that's only Morning Consult and Reuters Ipsos.
00:25:20.000And I think there's reasons that you could look at those polls internals and say that's really not what's happening.
00:25:26.000But what I have, I can go into the demographics, but I have a really important chart.
00:25:30.000I'd love for Denver to put up chart two, which shows what I call the Obama bounce.
00:25:36.000Now, what Trump has basically done is survived a coordinated info op to try and paint Kamala Harris's super likable, super competent, a lot of coordinated media attention, a lot of coordinated attacks of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.
00:25:51.000But if you look at here's every night of polling we put out, you could kind of consider each of these is like mini polls.
00:25:57.000And the first set we put out with Trump up seven was based on the 22nd through the 24th.
00:26:04.000You can actually see people's opinions forming in real time.
00:26:16.000And if we had done a poll on the 24th and 25th, we actually would have showed Donald Trump losing slightly to Kamala Harris.
00:26:23.000Now, that's right about the time she got the Obama endorsement.
00:26:26.000But since then, what you can see is Donald Trump has steadily clawed that lead back and he's up four points on the 30th, five points on the 31st.
00:26:35.000And I think what you're seeing there on the chart is literally her bounce fading and Donald Trump settling back into what's probably a four to five point lead right now.
00:26:46.000And we're going to continue to pull this to keep tracking it.
00:26:49.000That is comfortably outside the margin of error in line where other pollsters, good pollsters have him.
00:26:56.000I think we're pulling pretty close to Harvard Harris right now.
00:26:59.000And that's pretty much the best they can do.
00:27:02.000I think it's all downhill for them from from here on out.
00:27:05.000Of course, you know, she'll get a lot of positive coverage during the DNC.
00:27:09.000Who knows what's going to happen there?
00:27:11.000But to me, the headline is Trump is winning comfortably.
00:27:14.000And before all this happened in polls that had him winning comfortably, he was winning in every single swing state.
00:27:21.000So it's Trump's race right now, in my opinion.
00:27:27.000Mark Mitchell, we're going to keep you through the break.
00:27:30.000I'd love to hear if you see, you know, in the cross tabs or any of the subgroups making major moves either toward Harris or away from Harris.
00:30:58.000He's losing a little more with 18- to 39-year-olds, eight points here, but he was tied in the two-way matchup.
00:31:04.000I think there's a lot of chaos now is what we're really seeing.
00:31:08.000He's winning among middle-aged voters.
00:31:10.000He's winning by 10 points among white voters.
00:31:12.000He's taking 28% of the black vote, which is about in the strike zone he's been.
00:31:17.000So there's not some huge racial component here.
00:31:19.000He's still winning among Hispanic voters 45-39.
00:31:23.000And basically, his crossover advantage is flat.
00:31:27.000The Democrat crossover advantage disappeared after the Biden debate.
00:31:31.000And he's winning six points among independents, 10 points among independents in the two-way.
00:31:36.000So basically, independents are more open-minded.
00:31:39.000Probably Obama had some influence on them.
00:31:42.000I think, again, as people start exploring the massive internet repository of information about Kamala Harris in a way that it hasn't really played in the 2016 or 2020 cycle, probably get some of those back.
00:31:54.000But, you know, we had Trump winning 10 to 12 points earlier in the year.
00:31:58.000We never thought that was going to happen.
00:32:00.000We always thought we were going to get down to a single-point race.
00:32:24.000You know, you could see it was all over the place the first two years, but it's really tightened up.
00:32:29.000Everything that's happened since the debate, the shooting, the switcheroo, all that is really only the last four data points on this chart on the very right hand.
00:32:38.000You could see even before all that stuff happened, Democrats kind of have this, like, channel going that gets tighter and tighter.
00:32:45.000It looks like right now they're settling into 43, 44, maybe 45 points, but Donald Trump is settling into a 49, 50 point.
00:32:53.000You know, I just don't see that, like, reversing.
00:32:56.000Donald Trump's had everything in the world thrown at him.
00:32:59.000So I think this shows you the race right now.
00:33:03.000No, you're giving us a good feel for what's out there.
00:33:07.000Next time I'm going to get you, Juan, I think you articulated better than anyone else on the show the power of the media blob.
00:33:16.000And next time we get you on, I'd love to see if you're polling ever in these coordinated news cycles, right, with the New York Times and the Washington Post and the CNNs, whatever.
00:33:27.000And when you see the same words and then seeing some jump in the polling, I'd love to be able to detect that.
00:33:33.000But for today, that's Mark Mitchell with Rasmussen.
00:38:11.000And so and if they don't, then you as an individual, I as an individual, we could sue the state, whether it be Tennessee or Florida or Arizona or New Mexico, if they don't clean up their roles.
00:38:20.000This is common practice in the rest of the world that you have to prove who you are to vote.
00:38:24.000Why we do it differently here is is, you know, I don't know, inconsistable.
00:38:28.000It just raises red flags of they don't want people to have to produce IDs because they know that they have noncitizens voting.
00:38:35.000We've got to close that loophole. We've got to be aggressive.
00:38:38.000Otherwise, the Democrats are going to steal elections going forward by registering illegals.
00:40:28.000Rosemary, why don't you start us off with the latest word that just drives me nuts?
00:40:34.000I ran on it 10 years ago. That word is amnesty.
00:40:37.000What do you have teed up for us today? Rosemary Jenks.
00:40:42.000Thanks, Dave. It's great to be with you.
00:40:44.000So first of all, because this administration, the Biden-Harris administration,
00:40:48.000knows that they can't get a lawful amnesty, as if amnesty could be lawful, through Congress,
00:40:54.000they decided to do it on their own, just like Barack Obama did in 2012 with DACA.
00:41:00.000So what they've done is announced that starting on August 19th,
00:41:04.000they're going to be taking applications from illegal aliens who are married to U.S. citizens
00:41:09.000and have resided in the U.S. for 10 years or more.
00:41:12.000So basically, the longer you have successfully broken our laws, the more you're going to be rewarded for it.
00:41:19.000And then also they're going to give amnesty to illegal aliens who have graduated from U.S. colleges.
00:41:26.000And we have no idea how they're going to do this because they haven't released any of the requirements,
00:41:32.000any of the eligibility criteria. We don't know what criminal offenses they're going to waive.
00:41:37.000Are they going to waive illegal voting? Are they going to waive false claims to U.S. citizenship,
00:41:42.000which is what happens when you register to vote as a non-citizen?
00:41:45.000My guess is that they will, because basically all the Democrat amnesty plans waive those things.
00:41:51.000So, you know, I guess we'll find out at some point between now and August 19th what their plans are.
00:41:57.000But because that's apparently not enough amnesty for some members of Congress,
00:42:02.000Democrat from New York, Tom Swasey, and Republican from Texas, Morgan Luttrell,
00:42:08.000have started essentially an amnesty coalition, bipartisan coalition,
00:42:13.000that is being led by the ultra-left-wing National Immigration Forum.
00:42:18.000It is astonishing that Republican members of Congress would join forces with these left-wing groups to, you know, promote bad immigration policy.
00:43:28.000I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money in our bank accounts.
00:43:33.000First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:43:38.000This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet.
00:43:46.000Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author,
00:43:53.000is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:43:59.000In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move.
00:44:07.000If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA,
00:44:14.000the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:44:18.000I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:44:24.000Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine,
00:44:27.000has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming
00:44:31.000and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.
00:44:36.000Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past.
00:46:52.000That was some great days, Rosemary, and great working with you in the halls of Congress to put a little pressure on some of my weak-kneed colleagues.
00:47:02.000We took it on the chops for doing that, but it's the right thing for the American people.
00:47:07.000Why don't you bring us up to speed with a few bullet points?
00:47:42.000Yeah, so first of all, let's talk just for a second about what the Biden-Harris administration has actually done to America.
00:47:49.000During the last three and a half years, over five and a half million illegal aliens have been released into the United States.
00:47:56.000Over a million inadmissible aliens, essentially illegal aliens, have been paroled into the United States, including the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members who are creating havoc in New York City and Chicago and have green-lighted the murdering of cops now.
00:48:17.000We have almost two million known gotaways under the Biden administration.
00:48:23.000We have at least 362 people on the terrorist watch list who have been caught trying to come into the country illegally.
00:48:30.000We have the two Jordanians who tried to drive a box truck into Quantico and were stopped, thankfully, but who have just been released from federal custody on bond.
00:48:41.000Does anyone think they're going to show up for their hearings?
00:51:48.000And thanks for being with the war room.
00:51:50.000We're going to leave you with one of the great films from Kash Patel coming out right now.
00:51:56.000Government gangsters are the group of individuals, career bureaucrats who have been installed by what we call the deep state into every agency and department in the United States government.
00:52:08.000Had Donald Trump not won in 2016, he would not have exposed the flank of the deep state and their weapon of choice, the two tier system of justice.
00:52:15.000From Russiagate to Hunter Biden's laptop to Joe Biden's classified documents case to January 6th to the 51 Intel letter and everything in between.
