Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-CA) is running for President in the Democratic primary, and we're here to talk about why she's going to beat Donald Trump in 2020. We're joined by John Eastman, Tina Peters, and Darren Beattie to talk all things 2020.
00:01:42.140Great to be here with you, as always, at the Elite 5 o'clock hour.
00:01:46.240And we actually have a tremendous amount of content for the audience today.
00:01:50.220We have not one but two fresh-off-the-press pieces at Revolver.news.
00:01:55.180One, which you mentioned, is sort of a bucket of cold water, so to speak, pushing it back against any kind of notion that 2024 is going to be a landslide, this or that.
00:02:08.860I think by now we've all caught on to the reality that as ridiculous as it is, the Harris-Waltz campaign and ticket, thanks to full-court press support from the media, is going to be a very tight, very difficult, very hard-fought race.
00:02:26.240So the first order of business is to abandon any conception that this is going to be a great, easy landslide for our side, for the Trump-Vance ticket.
00:02:38.860The piece goes into further detail, and this is why everyone needs to go into it and read it, and analyzes a bit about why Kamala has the advantages she does and what those advantages are.
00:02:52.720And one of the unspoken advantages is just how she was able to swoop in at the last minute and basically operate with a clean slate, whereby anything good in the public's imagination is going to be associated with her.
00:03:10.100She's going to take credit for anything good.
00:03:12.160And anything bad, it's not going to be her.
00:03:16.240So she takes credit for the good, and the blame goes to Biden, and furthermore, she's in a position at the last minute to do something no traditional candidate could do, totally reinvent the ticket, totally flip-flop on positions that Biden had as a candidate and as a president, and reinvent them for herself to her own electoral advantage.
00:03:40.500One small, arguably niche example that's still, I think, important and illustrative here is the stance on Bitcoin.
00:03:48.980The Biden regime was extremely tough on Bitcoin, extremely tough on the crypto world, and that at least partially accounts for the unprecedented migration, as it were, political migration from many on the tech side to Trump.
00:04:03.600Kamala is doing a dramatic course correction here, reaching out to people in the crypto community and basically doing a 180 reversal on the policy that Biden had.
00:04:14.600Biden couldn't have gotten away with doing it this late in the game.
00:04:17.700Only this kind of bizarre situation where Kamala gets the best of both worlds can totally reinvent herself and the ticket at the last minute.
00:04:27.500She's doing something similar with the Israel-Palestine issue.
00:04:30.740So this idea of taking advantage of the blank slate, being able to reverse positions without really a flip-flop because she's a different person, is an advantage that is really specially tailored to this narrow time frame in which she's operating.
00:04:48.720I think another characteristic, we saw some of this with Obama, but here we have it on steroids and with a different inflection, is she's anything and everything.
00:05:13.380He's such a radical leftist, and yet his optics and presentation fill the function of what Joe Biden meant to fill for Obama, to assuage middle America, as it were, that things aren't going too radical.
00:05:26.860So there's this really kind of whiplash effect, whereby you have the old kind of folksy, but if you look in his eyes, you can tell there's a creep factor there.
00:05:36.780But the folksy kind of presentation that he has combined with the radical policy record is something that, when you have full-court press media support, can actually be very effective because it's not as alarming to people.
00:05:56.140You can fill in whatever you want, similarly with Kamala, what's her record on crime, is she a prosecutor, is she a BLM supporter, and go down the whole list and you have the same effect.
00:06:07.340And so this enables Kamala to do something that I think was captured what a lot of people have observed, is run an almost entirely vibes-based campaign.
00:06:19.020And the thing is, a vibes-based campaign can only last for so long until substance has to intervene.
00:06:24.620But again, here, the timeline works to her advantage, because it's just so unusual, in fact, unprecedented, for someone to be able to step in this late in the game.
00:06:34.420And the media is hoping to carry this vibes-based campaign across the finish line, given that we only have a couple of months left.
00:06:41.700So the question here is, what can Trump do?
00:06:44.640And we're going to have a follow-up piece on a lot of the things that the Trump campaign needs to pay attention to, but just one quick corollary based on the observations I just made.
00:06:54.380Trump needs to seize any and every possible opportunity to force Kamala into unscripted moments.
00:07:03.940The media is going to do full-court press.
00:07:06.360People have noticed she doesn't give any interviews.
00:07:10.180She's hiding behind the veil of total and complete positive media coverage.
00:07:15.880So whatever opportunities there are, these rare opportunities to force her into a position of candidness, a position of an unscripted vulnerability that has to be seized upon.
00:07:30.860And one obvious example of that would be a debate, maybe the only obvious example.
00:07:35.100And we saw the power of putting an unworthy and unqualified candidate in an unscripted position.
00:07:43.200We saw the last debate with Biden, which was game-changing.
00:07:47.020Now, we might not see something that dramatic with Kamala, but I think it would go in the right direction.
00:07:51.760So that is one small piece of advice that I think can be extrapolated into different contexts for how the Trump campaign should deal with these unusual comparative advantages that Kamala Wall's ticket has due to this peculiar timeline that she's been thrust into.
00:08:11.900The polling is so interesting, particularly to that point on the economy, where you see, obviously, a huge chasm between Joe Biden and Trump when it comes to how they think they could handle the economy.
00:08:22.500But it's basically 50-50, which may come as a complete shock to the war room audience.
00:08:26.780But when you match up Harris v. Trump on how they think they would handle the economy, this sort of jujitsu where she can take credit for what she wants to and then pass off all the certain failures to Joe Biden.
00:08:39.100But to kind of continue down this thread, speaking of passing failures off, I guess, though, in this case, to the FBI and the Secret Service, you guys have yet another exclusive up at Revolver, kind of continuing to drill down on the pipe bomb hoax, everything Jancic.
00:08:53.400So why don't you walk the audience through that?
00:09:09.760And as it so happens, you know, the pipe bomb story directly implicates number of people and institutions that have gained renewed attention and renewed significance in recent weeks and months.
00:09:23.360And that is, of course, Kamala Harris and the Secret Service.
00:09:26.200And sure enough, the pipe bomb hoax that, you know, has long been one of the biggest scandals in the country is now the biggest scandal because Kamala Harris is not just anyone.
00:09:40.900She is the nominee for president in the 2024 race.
00:09:46.100And, of course, the Secret Service is under justified scrutiny.
00:09:50.380I would frankly say not enough scrutiny.
00:09:52.420It's interesting how they're trying to memory hold the whole attempted assassination, narrowly missing, you know, bullet narrowly missing by millimeters.
00:10:10.020It's amazing how, you know, they're basically disappeared from our national consciousness at this point, certainly from the approved national conversation.
00:10:19.020Nonetheless, this thrusts the Secret Service into a certain spotlight.
00:10:22.700But those who've been following our reporting on the pipe bomb know the Secret Service has been very politicized and very suspicious for a long time.
00:10:31.840Now, the pipe bomb story has too many facets to cover here.
00:10:37.080I'll only say that there is a long-sense suppressed inspector general's report.
00:10:43.200The inspector general, believe it or not, actually kind of did a good job.
00:10:47.740That's why they were working so hard to suppress the report, they in this case being Mayorkas of Open Borders fame.
00:10:55.780Well, the report finally became public.
00:10:59.160We, of course, had it before it was public and we published on it.
00:11:02.120But now that it's public, we can move the conversation forward with reference to the direct language in the report.
00:11:10.440And, of course, there's been a media blackout on this, which on one hand you would say, OK, of course there's a blackout.
00:11:17.520The media doesn't want to draw attention to the failures of the Secret Service, let alone all of these really dirty questions surrounding what January 6th actually was being a Fed's erection.
00:11:28.880On the other hand, you would think the media would kind of want to amplify this because it surrounds a near assassination of, in this case, Kamala Harris.
00:11:41.420You would think they would be drawn to this not only because the last three years they've been trying to shove down our throats the notion that January 6th was the worst domestic terror event.
00:11:52.560This would seem to support that, given Kamala almost lost her life to this MAGA pipe bomb.
00:11:58.280The report confirmed she came within 20 feet of it.
00:12:01.940And yet the media doesn't want to say anything about it.
00:12:05.000Even in light of this report, precious few have said anything.
00:12:08.680The only people who have said anything, there's one piece in National Review, which is now kind of like maybe arguably the lowest status magazine around.
00:12:19.680And so one of the lower status writers, they didn't even get a celebrated writer.
00:12:24.040They got one of their low status intern types to do a complete mop-up job piece on it that doesn't note anything interesting in the actual report, which is kind of remarkable.
00:12:34.840So maybe the exception that proves the rule in terms of the media blackout.
00:12:38.860But the report confirms a number of things that we've been reporting for a while, and it's really important.
00:12:44.120Number one, the Secret Service did, in fact, sweep that area prior to Kamala's arrival.
00:12:51.120They had not one but two canine units there.
00:12:55.120And if you go to the piece at revolver.news and look at the photograph, you'll see just how conspicuous the pipe bomb was,
00:13:04.120such that it beggars belief that there could have been an entire Secret Service detail there with two canines sweeping the parking garage.
00:13:14.180And yet not 20 feet away, they missed the pipe bomb lying right there out in the open.
00:13:18.460They also confirmed that there was a Secret Service agent standing guard within 20 feet of the pipe bomb for five hours.
00:13:26.340I happen to be privy to surveillance footage of that area during this whole time.
00:13:31.740And there were periods where there were numerous law enforcement officials from multiple different agencies and Metro PD, Capitol Police and so forth.
00:13:40.300Not to mention the fact that this pipe bomb was allegedly planted the evening before and therefore sat in that position undiscovered for nearly 17 hours by anyone, including the Secret Police.
00:13:56.940And this is, of course, important because if they had discovered the pipe bomb in the morning, that would have led to heightened security that would have prevented the Fed's direction from unfolding the way it did.
00:14:08.960Only because the pipe bomb was conveniently discovered right as the attack on the Capitol unfolded that they had this excuse that, oh, our resources were being diverted at the time because of the pipe bomb.
00:14:20.700That's why Ray Epps was allowed to breach the West perimeter of the Capitol.
00:16:22.760You guys all know President Trump was really one of the leading voices to, I think, call out what is the fake news, the mainstream media, the bias that goes on there.
00:16:29.940But if you really look at his four years in office, I think he had the uncanny ability to do that with so many spheres of American life, whether it was the presidential debates, institutions like the National Institutes of Health.
00:16:41.840But I think most importantly, election administration or, frankly, lack thereof in this country, right?
00:16:48.040You saw it in the 2020 election, which we, of course, maintain.
00:17:23.360So I wanted to share some of his expertise and knowledge with The War Room Posse, who, you know, loves you so much.
00:17:29.060But, John, we were talking yesterday a lot about, you know, as we barrel towards the 2024 election, you have the RNC wanting to get their, you know, 500 lawyers.
00:17:39.660Seems like we're going to have, you know, poll watchers.
00:17:41.880But your kind of assessment, the State of the Union, through the lens of where we stand on election integrity ahead of November.
00:17:50.460Well, I think we've got a lot of work to do.
00:17:54.120You know, they're playing from the same playbook again.
00:17:57.580They're in advance of the election, altering the rules.
00:18:00.980The Democrat-controlled Minnesota legislature just passed a rule contrary to their state constitution that would allow felons to vote before their civil rights are restored.
00:18:11.380The Constitution in Minnesota makes that explicitly unconstitutional.
00:18:16.620And there was a lawsuit brought in just last week.
00:18:19.300The Minnesota Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit saying the people that brought it, voters, didn't have any standing.
00:18:24.880Over in Wisconsin, two years ago, the use of these drop boxes and human drop boxes that so significantly affected the outcome of the election in Wisconsin in 2020 were held to be illegal.
00:18:39.520But earlier last month, the Wisconsin Supreme Court, with a one-person change of personnel, reversed course and said it's illegal, therefore opening the door for these illegal drop boxes again.
00:18:52.400So we see this law maneuvering going on ahead of time to loosen the rules, to alter the rules of the game before we get to the election.
00:19:01.760And so the RNC's efforts to identify hundreds of lawyers to weigh in on those things is a step in the right direction.
00:19:10.160And more importantly, millions of people that are just immensely frustrated with what they saw with their own eyes in 2020 are stepping up to become poll observers.
00:19:22.180I've been encouraging people not just to become poll observers or challengers, but to actually apply to be poll workers.
00:19:28.980So that you're not observing the illegal conduct and trying to get lawyers to do something about it, but you're sitting in the chair making sure that the statutes are faithfully followed in the conduct of that vote counting process.
00:19:43.900And in many states, there are bipartisan requirements that there have to be, you know, unbiased people, bipartisan teams in the poll workers.
00:19:55.540That doesn't happen a lot of times, and they falsely claim it's because Republicans don't apply.
00:20:01.040But we've got evidence that, in fact, Republicans are applying, and they get slow walked, and then they're told, well, we've already filled all the slots.
00:20:09.760They need to figure out what their local rules are in their state and apply to be poll workers.
00:20:15.000So that's the kind of what, you know, the retail efforts to prevent that kind of obvious or out-in-the-open fraud.
00:20:22.180But what I think we're falling short on is the black box fraud, the risk of hacking in the machine equipment that has been documented by experts on both sides of the political aisle over the years
00:20:37.440and stunningly put forward in evidence and court rulings down in Georgia in a case called Curling v. Raffensperger that these machines are subject to security breaches and hacking that can affect the outcome of elections,
00:20:51.960alter the results of elections, and then hide the trail of what's been done.
00:20:55.640And I don't think we're doing nearly enough to try and counteract that risk to the integrity of our election systems.
00:21:02.720And anybody that doesn't think this is a problem needs to look at the court rulings in the Curling v. Raffensperger case.
00:21:09.340They need to look at the evidence that's been assembled as a result of discovery that existed in the Garland-Favorito v. Raffensperger case, another one down in Georgia.
00:21:18.300They need to look at the three expert reports that were done in Mesa County, Colorado, after Tina Peters, the clerk of Mesa County, made a mirror image of the computer software before it was updated after the 2020 election,
00:21:36.600which destroyed all the election data in violation of federal law.
00:21:40.200They need to look at those expert reports.
00:21:42.980Unfortunately, Tina Peters is on her heels and going through a criminal prosecution right now in Georgia for having made that electronic copy and done a forensic audit on the election data,
00:21:55.400which is what I thought her job was as the county clerk, to make sure that her election had not been manipulated or maneuvered with.
00:22:03.780So that's the kind of things that people on our side need to be addressing and not running afraid of it.
00:22:10.700And I don't see that kind of effort in place.
00:22:12.980And, of course, you know, you can do all you want with protecting signature verification and that kind of stuff on Election Day and in the run-up to the election.
00:22:23.060But if you haven't addressed this problem at all, you know, I don't think we'll have confidence that they won't try and successfully steal the election again.
00:22:31.720I think there's a lot of uproar kind of among the war room posse to the point where there doesn't seem to be a lot of these efforts in place when you see things so, you know, clear as day, whether it's the Zuckerberg organizations like CTCL.
00:22:45.720Yeah, sure, they may be rebranding, but they're doing what they always do, right, giving money to, what is it, 98.7 percent Democrat-heavy districts, right?
00:22:54.260They operate under the pretense of bipartisan, nonpartisan.
00:22:57.720The only thing that I think it's scarier when you hear bipartisan is when it's bipartisan immigration reform.
00:23:03.560But when you see this lack of legal pushback on what, to me, to the audience seems to be something, like I said, clear as day, fraud, is this because they have waged systemic campaigns, much like you've been on the receiving end of, to intimidate lawyers, to not stand up?
00:23:22.340Where is the shortcoming where we don't see these efforts materializing?
00:23:25.400Well, I mean, this stuff is tough to assemble and to put a case on and to gather the evidence for it, and it really requires a great deal of resources, and it's the kind of resources that exist in the major international law firms.
00:23:41.200You know, if you've got to throw 30 bodies into a discovery process and hire technical experts, you've got to have a pretty big infrastructure to be able to do that.
00:23:51.900And all of the major law firms have either become woke and won't touch this stuff because they're ideologically predisposed the opposite direction, or even if they have practice groups within their firm that wants to take this on, the firms are saying no, in part because of the extraordinary assaults on anybody that will dare to take up these election challenges.
00:24:15.300And, you know, the 65 project is made very clear.
00:24:18.460Their goal is not just to disbar all the lawyers who were involved in the election challenges in 2020, but to make them so toxic in their firms and their communities that nobody will ever want to take these kind of cases on again.
00:24:29.140That's the game plan at the moment, and it's one of the reasons why they have so viciously and extensively targeted people like me, because if they can prevent me from being involved and get my scalp and get my bar license and maybe even put me in prison, I mean, think about the message that sends to any other young up-and-coming lawyer who would want to help with some of these election challenges.
00:24:53.140You know, you're going to be confronted with, do I put myself, my finances, my family, my security at risk in order to take on these election challenges, or do I pretend there's nothing going on there and go back to my regular commercial practice?
00:25:08.080And, you know, we need more people to stand up in that.
00:25:10.760And it's these highly technical things that I don't think are getting adequate enough assessment.
00:25:18.120And, you know, that means it's not going to be, you know, it's not going to receive the scrutiny that it needs to prevent it happening in 2024.
00:25:28.880And just curious, your perspective, when it comes to your case, you said they may be pursuing prison time.
00:25:37.600I know you were giving us a brief update yesterday, but where do you stand on that?
00:25:41.540So we're waiting on rulings on motions to dismiss First Amendment grounds, federal preemption grounds, and those things in Georgia.
00:25:51.400Those decisions the judge is still working on, even though the case has been stayed for a number of my co-defendants pending resolution of the disqualification of the, to put it politely, ethically challenged DA in Fulton County, Vonnie Willis.
00:26:10.060We're looking, we're waiting for rulings on those motions to dismiss.
00:26:13.800In Arizona, it's a very interesting thing.
00:26:17.360Arizona became the first state in the country to add criminal prosecutions to its anti-SLAPP statute.
00:26:23.580And for the audience, it probably doesn't know what that is.
00:26:25.920So, you know, over time, say a major developer would want to put a project in and people would show up at the planning commission and complain about it.
00:26:38.900And so some developers, unscrupulous, would sue those people for defamation claims or whatever to try and get, silence them from public participation, from participating in the planning commission process.
00:26:51.820And states like California passed what were called anti-SLAPP statutes.
00:26:56.260That's strategic litigation against public participation that these suits were.
00:27:00.800And California passed an anti-SLAPP statute which allowed the defendant in these type of cases to bring a motion to dismiss the case on the front end and to force the people that brought these cases merely to silence them in the exercise of their First Amendment rights to require them to pay their attorney's fees.
00:27:18.160So Arizona added criminal prosecutions to its anti-SLAPP statute.
00:27:23.040And we immediately filed an anti-SLAPP motion in our case there.
00:27:27.740It was the first one out of the box to do so.
00:27:29.880And that motion will be heard on August 26th in Phoenix.
00:27:33.900And very interestingly, two weeks ago, the leadership of the Arizona legislature—
00:27:38.160And John, I'm going to hold you there because we have to jump to break.
00:27:42.680We'll use it as a teaser to keep you—we'll be back in 90 seconds.
00:27:45.540Warren Posse will also be joined by Philip Patrickson.
00:27:48.120In the meantime, you can go to birchgold.com slash Bannon or check out Public Square to support companies that won't cancel you for daring to question the results of the 2020 election, the forthcoming 2024 election, and support true American patriots and heroes, much like John Eastman, Stephen K. Bannon, Peter Navarro.
00:28:05.700We'll be back after this break with John Eastman and Tina Peters later in the show.
00:28:09.460Another day, another breaking news story buried.
00:28:14.960They'd rather talk about anything else than what's really going on.
00:28:18.000It's not because they don't know what's happening.
00:28:20.340The media pundits and talking heads just don't want to pay any attention to it.
00:28:24.900And they particularly don't want you paying any attention to it.
00:28:27.460The real stories, you have to look beyond the headlines for them.
00:28:31.360You know the truth is being covered up.
00:28:33.360Prepare for what will come with My Patriot Supply.
00:28:36.200Since 2008, My Patriot Supply has helped millions of Americans get ready for the worst.
00:28:42.100Today, their best-selling three-month emergency food kits are flying off the shelves.
00:28:46.840Get yours right now at the website, mypatriotsupply.com.
00:28:52.120This food kit offers over 2,000 calories per day, plus with ultra-durable four-layer packaging, it lasts up to 25 years.
00:29:38.300Honored to be joined by a true hero and a patriot, not just on issues of election integrity, but frankly everything, the one and only John Eastman.
00:29:46.980Now, John, if you want to pick up where you left off before we had to jump for the break, then I have some other questions for you.
00:29:51.560So, this is on the anti-slap motion that we filed in Arizona.
00:29:57.660And significantly, about two weeks ago, the leaders of the Arizona legislature filed an amicus brief saying, look, this isn't just the kind of case that we passed this statute for.
00:30:10.180This is the very case we feared would be brought that we brought this statute for.
00:30:16.900We hope the judge will take that very seriously and recognize that this case was brought to deter the exercise of people's First Amendment rights, the rights of free speech and association, but also the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.
00:30:32.080Which is, you know, there were grievances aplenty in the 2020 election, and people were lobbying their legislators and their elected officials to try and do some investigations to get to the bottom of what happened rather than shuffling it all under the rug.
00:30:47.280That's about as classic a right to petition the government for redress of grievances as it comes.
00:30:52.500And as we put in our opening brief, the attorney general campaigned on preventing people from engaging in that kind of speech and right to petition and threatened to criminally prosecute them if she got elected.
00:31:05.380Well, this is exactly what this statute was designed to prevent.
00:31:09.160So, hopefully, we'll have a very interesting hearing on August 26th.
00:31:13.640First time I think anything like this has ever been brought anywhere in the country because it's a new statute, a new application of those longstanding anti-slap statutes.
00:31:22.620And we look forward to seeing what the judge is going to do with it.
00:31:26.720And, John, I'm just curious to get your thoughts on these sort of other aspects of election interference, election influence.
00:31:33.040Obviously, you're talking about, you know, ballots themselves, but we know they obviously use the pretext of a pandemic to sort of lay the groundwork, the justification.
00:31:41.180Though I always love, when you read the CDC, they actually said even if you had COVID, you could still go vote in person.
00:31:48.420But nonetheless, I guess you need massive vote by mail.
00:31:52.520But when you see things like the assassination attempt of President Donald J. Trump, this re-hyping of the bird flu narrative, the WHO saying we need to prep better for pandemics already,
00:32:01.880where do you sort of see them going with the kind of cultural, political, and social context and setting that they want to artificially create
00:32:11.360to allow for whether it's universal vote by mail, various ways that they can kind of steal the election?
00:32:19.000Where do you think they're, in your estimation, kind of heading with that side of the coin?
00:32:22.980Well, the vote by mail, which is the most unsecure method of voting we have.
00:32:29.000I mean, there's a reason the bipartisan commission on the 2000 election that was headed by former Democrat President Jimmy Carter
00:32:38.000and former Republican Secretary of State James Baker.
00:32:42.220And they said, look, guys, we got this thing, this vote by mail absolutely is a problem.
00:32:48.780None of the traditional checks that were in place in your local precinct, like the people running the table, recognize you as one of their neighbors.
00:32:57.900None of those checks are there if you vote by mail.
00:33:01.260And when you recognize the amount of deadwood on the voter rolls, this is people that have died, that have long since moved or what have you,
00:33:09.940and these ballots are mailed to them or ballot applications are mailed to them.
00:33:14.860And then they kind of sit on the overflow mail table at large apartment buildings, and somebody comes and collects them.
00:33:22.060I've been told that those ballots are – people give $10 a ballot for folks to go collect those up.
00:33:30.920And then they get voted, and we've got evidence that they're being voted anyway, even though not by the people they're addressed to.
00:33:36.900So all of these things are a huge invitation for fraud.
00:33:41.420And when we are in such a polarized political world as we are in, and people are spending hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars in order to affect the outcome of the election,
00:33:52.920the notion that one side is not actually going to engage in criminal conduct to try and steal the election is laughable.
00:34:00.700And the question is, why are we not doing more to stop it?
00:34:03.880Because, you know, this goes right to the heart of who we are as a democratic republic form of government.
00:34:09.960It's right there in the Declaration of Independence.
00:34:12.140The legitimacy of the government is based on the consent of the governed.
00:34:15.700We give that consent through elections that are free and fair.
00:34:19.560And if they're not, we cease to be citizens in a republican form of government.
00:34:24.800We become subjects of a government that has no checks on it and will become increasingly tyrannical.
00:34:31.360I mean, these are the stakes, and I don't think we are putting enough effort into preventing it from happening again.
00:34:38.720And link that critique to the broader narrative that you hear on MSNBC, CNN, every second of every day, 24-7, 25-8, frankly, if you ask me.
00:34:49.300But of our democracy, our democracy, is it just projection?
00:34:55.540I mean, the notion that our democracy is being undermined by people that insist on free and fair elections and being supported by folks who are putting up as nominees somebody who never won a single primary election or obtained a single delegate vote.
00:35:09.660And I've noticed this trend over the last couple of election cycles.
00:35:13.080I'm involved in litigation in Colorado right now challenging the open primary, and one of the issues is, does unaffiliated voters affect the outcome of elections?
00:35:22.360And what we've seen is a shift in the number of unaffiliated voters voting in the republican election, primary elections, rather than Democrat.
00:35:29.820And you dig down and you try and figure out why.
00:35:31.840It's because the Democrats aren't having contested primary elections.
00:35:34.780They're selecting their nominees in the backroom, putting them on the ballot to go through this patina or this pretext that we had an election, but there was only one person on the ballot.
00:35:44.060And they've done now the same thing in the presidential election.
00:35:48.220And so the folks that claim to be defending our democracy, what's the old line in Prince's Bride?
00:35:54.860I think they mean something different than what that word really means.
00:35:57.920And how do you think, you know, say President Trump does return to the White House if we're able to surpass and surmount all the tricks that they have up their sleeves?
00:36:11.040When it comes to solving the issue of election administration here in the United States, how do you see that path?
00:36:19.440Which, again, not that we're getting ahead of ourselves here, but what are the fundamental changes that you think need to happen in this country when it comes to elections?
00:36:28.700Well, look, the IRS has long realized that they can't enforce the law against every single taxpayer.
00:36:38.880And so what they do right before tax deadline is they announce a couple of high-profile criminal prosecutions against tax evaders and to scare everybody else into voluntary compliance with the tax laws.
00:36:55.800I don't think we're doing that on the election front.
00:36:58.840And so, look, let me give you an example.
00:37:00.420There is well-documented violations of election law by force and intimidation of poll watchers in the TCF Center in Detroit.
00:37:10.300It's documented with sworn affidavits and it's video, and nobody's been prosecuted.
00:37:16.520You need to bring some high-profile prosecutions and put people in prison for that kind of conduct in order to send a message to others that if you do this as well in the next election,
00:37:28.100then you may be the subject of a criminal prosecution as well.
00:37:32.400And I think we need to revamp the Department of Justice election and territory.
00:37:35.400I mean, they're violations of state law, but in the context of a presidential election, they are interfering with federal elections,
00:37:43.440which means it's subject to enforcement by the Department of Justice and by the U.S. attorneys in that state.
00:37:48.580And I think those things need to be vigorously prosecuted in a very public and transparent way so that it sends a message.
00:37:54.680If you're going to be a mule illegally harvesting ballots in Georgia or Pennsylvania, you're going to be at risk of a very long prison sentence for doing that.
00:38:05.520And until we start doing that more vigorously and more openly, I think people are going to feel like there's no downside for engaging in this illegal conduct, and they'll continue to do it.
00:38:16.360Look, outside of Detroit's accounting center, they had a warehouse of excess ballots, and they called the warehouse the Chicago warehouse.
00:38:25.900I mean, it doesn't get more brazen than that, that they are intent on stealing the election if that becomes necessary,
00:38:32.280because Chicago is the most infamous election fraud place in the country.
00:38:37.120It was notorious for that for years and years and years.
00:38:39.940And so to nickname their warehouse of excess ballots as the Chicago warehouse, they're telling us what they're doing on the front end.
00:38:47.620And our guys are just sitting on the sidelines, you know, well, that's just the way it goes.
00:38:51.620No, you've got to prosecute these people criminally for engaging that kind of illegal conduct.
00:38:56.760And what you've got to then quit doing is prosecuting people who are shining a light on it, which is the turnaround that we have seen.
00:39:15.140So, you know, I would encourage people to go to my Legal Defense Fund site, because at the moment, that's where I'm posting great articles about what we're confronting.
00:39:39.220But they can also arm themselves with information that we post there.
00:39:43.440And I would encourage people to pull up Update 43 on that website, because I've got their linked articles that my children wrote defending their dad and that my wife wrote describing what we're going through.
00:39:55.000And I think people will get a very good sense of what's going on by reading those articles.
00:40:29.000We're joined at the end of a rather tumultuous week.
00:40:32.720We started out this Monday show with the Kamala crash.
00:40:36.220I don't know what iteration of the crash we're in right now, but who better to bring on than the one and only Philip Patrick.
00:40:42.960Philip, why don't you walk us through sort of your analysis of what happened this week with the economy?
00:40:48.140Yeah, it's been it's been an interesting week, to say the least.
00:40:50.800I think the Biden administration's Goldilocks narrative was was finally overrun by by angry bears.
00:40:57.900And forgive me if that sounds glib, but it's essentially true.
00:41:00.960Monday, we saw a massive wave of risk aversion sweep the globe.
00:41:05.340I think since about mid-2022, investors have been treating bad economic news as good news, right, hoping that it would be the catalyst for the Fed to cut interest rates and come and save the economy.
00:41:18.200But I think this week they finally realized that bad economic news really isn't good.
00:41:23.100But in terms of the catalyst, there were a few things driving the Kamala crash.
00:41:28.580First of all, June job numbers came in 62 percent below expectations.
00:41:35.000Now, to be clear, not my expectations, but mainstream CNN economists.
00:41:40.000The official unemployment rate has ticked up now to over 4.3 percent, which is the highest rate since October of 2021.
00:41:48.860Secondly, the unemployment report triggered a closely watched economic indicator called the SAM rule, which has accurately predicted the last 11 recessions without one false positive in that time period.
00:42:04.080In other words, the U.S. economy is either already in or likely on the brink of a recession.
00:42:10.060Thirdly, and this one really came out of left field, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates from zero to a quarter of a percent, and that sparked a crisis in what's called the yen carry trade, forcing what looked like margin calls on a number of very highly leveraged hedge funds.
00:42:30.020And I think the combination of all of these factors have forced investors to realize that they've got a lot more to lose than gain in the markets right now.
00:43:02.100And we're honored to be supported here in the war room by companies that, like I always say, don't hate you and won't cancel you.
00:43:07.160So for being involved and being engaged for supporting patriots like John Eastman, Stephen K. Bannon, and Peter Navarro, we had some trouble tracking down Tina Peters.
00:43:17.260As you all know, she's a little busy right now, but maybe we'll get her for the 6 p.m.
00:43:21.900And I will be hosting the 6 p.m. show after this as well.
00:43:26.800Americans spend billions on supplements every year hoping they'll make up for poor diet or help us avoid serious health problems later.
00:43:36.460If you trust supplements for your health, know that Harvard Health found zero evidence they work.
00:44:01.020It's real, organic, whole fruits and veggies, and a delicious daily drink.
00:44:06.580But unlike the others, each fruit and veggie in Field of Greens was medically selected to support your vital organs.
00:44:13.580There's a heart health group, a liver and kidney function group, metabolism and healthy weight, and so on and so on and so on.
00:44:22.060And only Field of Greens is backed by a better health promise.
00:44:25.780Just add Field of Greens to your daily routine, and at your next checkup, your doctor will notice your improved health or will give you your money back.

00:45:25.740But keeping in line with War Room's track record on typically being right, what does the audience need to know about what you kind of see as projections going forward?
00:45:34.660Look, I think we're in a very tough position.
00:45:38.460What we've seen with market volatility, I think, is going to be the catalyst for the Fed now to lower interest rates, likely before the election, probably in September.
00:45:47.820The problem that we're going to have is, of course, inflation, right?
00:45:51.500We've got to remember this massive government spending under the Biden administration, $7.3 trillion.
00:45:58.840Coupled with the lowering of interest rates, I think what we risk is to see inflation spiral out of control.
00:46:05.540We've been saying it for a while, but we really are stuck between a rock and a hard place, right?
00:46:35.240They're hedging that exposure with gold.
00:46:37.360We have Goldman Sachs coming out recently saying that long positions in gold now offer portfolios the greatest hedging value across all asset classes.
00:46:47.980So, you know, I think it's just the time to be preemptive and make sure we're ready to weather the storm.
00:46:54.140And in terms of birch gold, what you guys have going on there, how do you think that that helps the audience, you know, navigate that rather perilous storm?
00:47:02.440Look, for us, what's so important, which is why, you know, the ability to come on the show and try and educate people is so important to us.
00:47:11.060But, you know, I feel like education is key and people understanding the issues.
00:47:16.440I think the solutions will start to prevent present themselves.
00:47:19.300So at Birch, the most important thing for us is keeping people informed.
00:47:24.460That's why we have a free information guide.
00:47:26.740That's why we have, you know, the series, The End of the Dollar Empire that Steve wrote, really to help build people's knowledge and understanding.
00:47:35.320Because with that, like I said, comes solutions.
00:47:37.880So for us at Birch, the aim is, as it is for the war room, to educate the American people through education.
00:47:44.560I think we start to make the right decisions.
00:47:47.500And, Philip, if people want to talk to you, get the books, there's so many ways that they can reach you, hit the audience with where they can go to do that.
00:47:56.820So for free information, Keir, for access to the End of the Dollar Empire series, all the viewers have to do is to go to birchgold.com forward slash Bannon.
00:48:12.340That'll get them access to free information, a lot of it.
00:48:15.760And then from there, if they want to take a step, there's a lot of people like myself that are there to help educate people and guide them through the process.
00:48:23.780So it starts with birchgold.com forward slash Bannon.
00:48:29.240Philip Patrick, as always, thank you for joining us in the war room.
00:48:35.720Shortly bringing on our next guest, but just wanted to give you guys another little scoop we have up for war room.
00:48:41.760You guys may know the company Smartmatic.
00:48:44.480They created a kind of a shady offshoot back in 2014, SGO.
00:48:50.680And it was an investment group where they would support democracy initiatives and election turnout drives, all euphemisms for, I'd say, anti-democracy efforts.
00:49:03.100But just a fun fact, a member, founding member of their board of advisors was the global CEO of DLA Piper, the law firm where Kamala Harris's husband worked for a very, very long time.
