On this episode of The War Room, host Natalie Gwyneth Paltrow talks about the 2020 Democratic National Convention, the gaffe-filled night that was Freedom Night, and how the media covered it up. She also takes a shot at the media and the deep state.
00:06:56.160Tim Waltz, make no mistake, he invited in and lauded, gave your taxpayer dollars, funded and granted radical Muslim clerics
00:07:05.160who praised the October 7th attacks and probably want to establish a caliphate in this country.
00:07:12.160And his shock troops are the ones standing outside the DNC burning the American flag
00:07:17.160where it's up to Ben Berquam to stand in the breach and try to stop them from doing it.
00:07:21.160Now, the clip that we didn't have there to play, which in another alternate universe we'd have it,
00:07:27.160but it's Joe Scarborough and Mika, they have the nerve to say that you guys, the MAGA base, the war room posse,
00:07:37.160that you're anti-American for having the nerve to say that this country is in decline.
00:07:44.160You know what? This country is in decline.
00:07:46.160This country is in managed decline because of people like Joe Scarborough.
00:07:51.160It's not anti-American to say that what we're witnessing is decline because I hold our elites, our leaders to a much higher standard.
00:08:00.160And I think there's a very interesting Freudian slip on their part because that is what they think America is.
00:08:05.160People like Joe Scarborough, who used to be Republicans until the Republican Party actually aligned with the people at the base, not the donor class.
00:08:12.160So you jump ship to MSNBC like the true patriot. I'm sure you were and always are.
00:08:18.160It's not anti-American or anti-patriotic, however, they want to spin it to say that this country is declined.
00:08:25.160Why don't you go to the border, Joe Scarborough?
00:08:27.160Why don't you go to the community that J.D. Vance grew up in?
00:08:30.160And you have the nerve to tell us that we're anti-American for raising substantive and extremely valid issues with the direction this country is going.
00:08:38.160And I'm not even talking about the lawfare that you guys are waging.
00:08:42.160And you know what the worst part is about all of this?
00:08:45.160Yeah. And enjoy grifting on MSNBC, Joe, with your with your lovely wife.
00:08:54.160That's even though we're not in decline, we apparently need a new way forward, according to Kamala Harris.
00:08:59.160That's the tongue in cheek, double speak way. That's that's the issue with Kamala Harris.
00:09:03.160And frankly, that's the issue that you saw replicated speaker after speaker night after night in Chicago.
00:09:10.160It is their shrouding their radical death to America policies and socialist branding, whether it's price gouging, price controls, you name it.
00:09:20.160When Kamala Harris stands there and says, oh, we're not going to be unburdened by what has been, whatever the heck that means.
00:09:26.160Yeah, there's one way to interpret it. Oh, it's just some vapid comment.
00:09:32.160It calls and it harkens back to Mao, to radical far left communist dictators who want to erase the past to usher in a new era of progressivism.
00:09:43.160And you saw it in her speech last night where she continued to say a new way forward, a new way forward, a new way forward.
00:09:49.160Because do you know what a new way forward is?
00:09:51.160It's a dog whistle to a 2019 piece of legislation that is so radical it's endorsed by AOC.
00:09:57.160It would effectively grant mass amnesty.
00:09:59.160It would make illegal immigration not a criminal offense, but a civil offense.
00:10:03.160But they wouldn't even prosecute it because they basically forbid any form of law enforcement to collaborate with the federal government on enforcing immigration law, the laws in the books.
00:10:13.160Like I said, I wanted to go off on Joe Scarborough, but the rant is a little botched because we don't have the clip, but that's all good.
00:10:19.160And don't worry, we're going to have Josh Hammer and Darren Beattie joining us after.
00:10:22.160But I just wanted to give my thoughts on the gaslighting sham that was the DNC.
00:10:28.160But to Joe Scarborough, who thinks that we're the party that's anti-American because we're willing to call out the problems that we see around us.
00:10:39.160We're willing to say this country is in managed decline.
00:10:44.160And I'm not talking about the moral decline, though I'd love to talk to the intern in your office about that.
00:10:48.160Talking about what we've seen go on with the trade policies, with economy, with immigration.
00:10:53.160And in the same breath that the Democrats are telling you that they care about freedom, they're applauding locking up your fellow citizens and granting mass amnesty to convicted rapists, criminals and pedophiles who have absolutely no respect for this country and its heritage.
00:11:07.160It's heritage the same heritage that you cannot rewrite that the history that you have tried to erase by endorsing camo hats.
00:11:15.160It's an insult to our intelligence and it's not going to work.
00:11:21.160I've never seen more gaslighting from the Democratic Party.
00:11:24.160And that's a frankly a really low bar.
00:11:27.160Now, I'm going to attempt to put my earpiece back in because I can't hear.
00:11:32.160But if we have Josh Hammer, this is, I guess, in honor of Steve, it wouldn't be a show without technical difficulties.
00:11:39.160Josh, you have a wonderful piece in Newsweek that I think sort of has to do with what I was just talking about.
00:11:45.160I'd love if you could walk the audience sort of through your overall thoughts on the DNC, the epic gaslighting of the American people that we just we just witnessed.
00:11:54.160Yeah, Natalie, you know, with or without the MSNBC clip, that was a great riff.
00:11:59.160I mean, look, what we saw all week was substantive lists, substanceless gaslighting.
00:12:04.160I mean, there was no substance anywhere at this convention all week.
00:12:09.160I mean, the closest thing that we got to substance, Natalie, was actually positively demonic and satanic substance.
00:12:15.160I mean, we had that Planned Parenthood truck pull outside the convention earlier this week.
00:12:20.160They they apparently literally had an IUD, like an inflatable IUD that they were bouncing around throughout the United Center like it was a beach ball at Yankee Stadium.
00:12:29.160I mean, if there if there was any substance whatsoever, it was that it was the pro Hamas people.
00:12:35.160I mean, I mean, it was positively demonic to the extent that there was any substance.
00:12:38.160But overall, there was no substance because all they did all week was hit the recurring theme of the joy of Kamala Harris.
00:12:45.160I mean, because no one screams joy like Kamala Harris, who has failed upwards in every role she's ever held from San Francisco, D.A., to California, A.G., to California Senator, to to fail 2020 campaign, to vice president, to the coup last month.
00:13:00.160I mean, she's literally failed upwards after horribly unsucceeding in every step of the way.
00:13:04.160So no one screams joy like Kamala Harris.
00:13:07.160But nonetheless, what they tried to project, and this is kind of the point of my column that no one is buying it, what they tried to project all week was not just gaslighting you that the past three and a half years haven't happened, although they definitely did that.
00:13:20.100But what they tried to do was to try to project kumbaya and unity that we're all in this together, that everyone who's a reasonable American, who's not a deplorable is lining up behind Kamala Harris in her magnificent, grandiose 2024 bid.
00:13:35.580There are a lot of problems with this.
00:13:37.580First of all, you know, Joe Biden on Monday evening was saying that he was not angry at the coup plotters.
00:13:42.580He's not angry at Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries.
00:13:51.580In fact, he immediately jetted off to California right after his speech so that he didn't have to be there the next day to stare down his coup plotter, the brutus to his Caesar, Barack Obama, in the eyes.
00:14:01.580In fact, their party is so not unified that the night that Barack and Michelle spoke, Kamala Harris and Tim Walls weren't even there.
00:14:08.580They were in Milwaukee, 90 miles away from there, because apparently Kamala Harris was trying to pay respect to her putative boss, President Biden, because, again, he is so peeved at Barack Obama.
00:14:19.580And then, you know, if there's any substantive issue, and again, this is a fairly substance list convention.
00:14:24.580Josh, I'm going to hold you there because we have to jump.
00:15:12.580Patriot Mobile offers dependable nationwide coverage, giving you the ability to access all three major networks,
00:15:18.580which means you get the same coverage you've been accustomed to, but without funding the progressive left.
00:15:24.580When you switch to Patriot Mobile, you're sending the message that you support free speech, religious freedom, the sanctity of life, Second Amendment, and our military veterans and first responder heroes.
00:15:36.580Their 100% U.S.-based customer service team makes switching easy.
00:16:06.580You're laughing because people my age remember after the turbulence of the 1960s, after Vietnam, after Watergate.
00:16:13.580It took Democrats a while to feel comfortable saying what Kamala Harris just said.
00:16:19.580And Republicans went to town on them throughout the 1980s and part of the 1990s because of it.
00:16:25.580And I had been joking through the week that if chants of USA, USA had come up in a rally in the 80s or the 90s, people would have looked around really quickly and would have stopped.
00:16:35.580Stop. I'm telling you, it is stunning to me as a former Republican watching the Republican Party actually denigrating America constantly, tearing it down.
00:16:48.580Their nominee saying it is a failed country.
00:16:53.580It is a, quote, country in decline when it is anything but that.
00:16:58.580And Kamala Harris is out there embracing the promise of America and saying what we all have been saying for some time, that, yes, this is a great country, but we're forever pushing towards being that more perfect union.
00:17:16.580But, boy, we've got a better shot than any other country on the face of the earth, and we should be proud of it.
00:17:22.580That embrace, I'm telling you, I just know that that all of that sent chills up and down the spines of Republicans who understand they are on the wrong side of this argument and they are on the wrong side of history.
00:17:43.580No, you're on the wrong side of the argument.
00:17:46.580You're certainly on the wrong side of history.
00:17:48.580And you can stay that way as a former Republican because we don't want you back.
00:17:52.580And I'm really skeptical if you were ever actually a Republican to begin with.
00:17:55.580You probably should be trotted out along with Adam Kinzinger as one of the Republicans for Harris.
00:18:00.580But just know that you're endorsing the border policies that have led to so many Americans getting killed that you have blood on your hands for endorsing that.
00:18:08.580And I digress on that point because we got not just Josh Hammer, but Darren Beattie, who has a semi hard out.
00:18:15.580We're going to jump to Darren, but Josh is going to hang with us.
00:18:18.580But Darren, you have a new wonderful piece up in Revolver that I wanted to sort of walk through your kind of outlook on the election.
00:18:24.580But before we get to that, I'd love to get your thoughts, just overall analysis of what we saw from the DNC, how you think it plays polling election wise.
00:18:34.580As always, great to be here with you, Natalie, at the elite five o'clock hour.
00:18:38.580And it's great to be with the audience once more.
00:18:42.580You know, I hate to say it, but and, you know, as a matter of substance, as Josh pointed out, Josh Hammer pointed out correctly, there wasn't a whole lot of substance in the DNC convention.
00:18:57.580Notwithstanding that fact, I think it was fairly successful.
00:19:04.580I think it was quite successful, actually.
00:19:07.580And if I were Kamala, if I were the Democrats, I would feel very good about how the convention went.
00:19:13.580I think they struck all the right notes.
00:19:30.580But you got to put on the hat of the regular American viewer who's watching these things and how it would be consumed.
00:19:41.580And I think the tone was fairly good, fairly inviting.
00:19:44.580There was a lot, especially from Obama, like, oh, we don't want to scold, you know, our political opponents, this or that, which sounds very good.
00:19:54.580Of course, if you look at the reality, they're doing a lot more than scolding.
00:19:57.580They're throwing people in prison for having political beliefs they don't approve of.
00:20:01.580But the average person watching watching that is not necessarily going to think that way.
00:20:08.580I think Kamala's speech was actually pretty effective.
00:20:12.580And as evidence for that, you don't have a lot of people taking excerpts from that that they think are embarrassing to her or, you know, beyond the pale and this or that.
00:20:21.580And so I think judging from what an average person's perspective might be, who's, you know, what we call the low information voter, diplomatically speaking.
00:20:32.580And, you know, you need those people to win.
00:20:35.580Not everyone can be a high information war room viewer or revolver news reader.
00:20:39.580We've got the low information people and you need them to win.
00:20:42.580And I think from a low information sort of on the fence perspective that the tone and the approach was very good.
00:20:50.580And these days it's all about vibes anyway.
00:20:52.580So even the fact that there's no substance is unfortunate that that's the case.
00:20:57.580But it's not really a testament to how effective or ineffective it was.
00:21:04.580So I think that was a very good, very good convention for the Democrats.
00:21:10.580However, I think, you know, they might have a short lived boost here because the RFK news is also quite important, arguably more so than the positive convention story for the Democrats.
00:21:22.580I think the fact that a Democrat candidate is basically lending his support to Trump can cause all kinds of problems, not just from the standpoint of sort of the more timid Joe Rogan type people, the permission guys, you know, Joe Rogan got permission from Elon to go Trump.
00:21:41.580He still wasn't really willing to go there for a variety of reasons.
00:21:46.580But there are a lot of these people who are sort of anti woke, centrist types, and they just can't bring themselves to go direct for Trump.
00:21:59.580But the fact that RFK is stepping down and basically saying it's Trump, I think, puts the Joe Rogan demographic in a position where they basically need to go for Trump because they're not going to go for the Kamala nonsense.
00:22:16.580And also it creates a lot of strategic difficulties for the Democrats.
00:22:20.580You know, it's a whole other headache that they have to deal with.
00:22:23.580Now they're fighting a, you know, multiple front war, two front war at least.
00:22:27.580And so I think there are a whole host of advantages here that could help to even out the boost that I think the Democrats would have gotten and may have gotten from, I think, an objectively successful convention.
00:22:44.580Well, and speaking of waging war, you laid out kind of a nice battle plan in your piece for revolvers.
00:22:51.580We're getting, I think you put it up two days ago, the headline was 75 days.
00:22:55.580So I guess it just puts us 73 days away, though, according to the DNC, they only have to pretend to be normal for about 70 more days.
00:23:04.580But on the opposite side, in Trump world, you had some sort of advice or just ideas about how to best approach this final stretch of the campaign.
00:23:11.580So why don't you walk the audience through that article, which is going viral?
00:23:18.580A lot of people in the campaign seem to be digesting it and even taking some of the suggestions to heart, which I'm very encouraged by.
00:23:26.580People can read the whole piece at revolver.news.
00:23:28.580I'll run through quickly the most salient points.
00:23:31.580So number one, Trump needs to maximize exposure in a variety of fronts.
00:23:39.580One, I think he should do more of these long form, one on one conversational podcasts.
00:23:45.580You saw him do recently something with Theo Vaughn.
00:23:48.580I think he is excellent in that context.
00:23:51.580And we typically think about how impactful he is in, say, a rally context, and he can do rallies like nobody else.
00:24:02.580I think it's sort of an underappreciated skill that he has, just how good and how likable he is in the context of a kind of one on one conversation that is not hostile.
00:24:14.580Not necessarily an interview that loves him so much, but someone who isn't in that sort of mainstream media attack mode posture where they can just have a one on one conversation and kind of let his personality and conversational style flourish.
00:24:30.580I think it's very difficult for someone to watch him in that context and not like him.
00:24:36.580So he has this advantage of being a likable person, even though the media has demonized him.
00:24:41.580And so I think the more he does these long form, big podcasts, the better off he is and do a variety of them.
00:24:50.580You know, I've said he should go on, call her daddy.
00:25:30.580We want him to emphasize his role as a peacemaker.
00:25:34.580And I think the RFK news, I think, dovetails very well with this narrative, as does J.D. Vance, his VP pick, who's one of the few people in the Senate who is good on foreign policy, doesn't want us to go to war with every every play.
00:25:48.580It's something that resonates so well with, again, even the low information people.
00:25:54.580And you don't need to get in the particulars of foreign policy, which people don't care about.
00:25:58.580But people do resonate with the idea that, hey, Trump didn't get us in any wars.
00:26:08.580There's an ancillary benefit that, in particular in the case of Russia, so many of Trump's domestic enemies exist within the subset of the national security community that's obsessed with Russia.
00:26:21.440So by advocating the right and peaceful position geopolitically in relation to Russia, there's this ancillary benefit that you are sort of taking the fight to those forces that have visited such destruction and degradation on our country domestically from censorship and the whole host of things.
00:26:43.120So that's another one, a third and I think very important one is he should be leveraging what I call low cost, high leverage positions.
00:26:53.120Excuse using the term leverage twice, but that I had to use it.
00:27:26.120Think of the nuisance of having to take your shoes off the laptop.
00:27:30.120If you said something like, look, you and you.
00:27:33.120And Darren, before you make everyone's blood boil even more about talking about TSA lines, I have to hold you because we're about to jump to break.
00:29:32.120We're still joined by Darren J. Beattie, or I should say Dr. Darren J. Beattie.
00:29:36.120Don't want to spread misinformation here in The War Room.
00:29:39.120Darren, why don't you finish up your kind of thoughts on the low effort, low resources required strategy to court more voters to the Trump side of things?
00:30:32.120In fact, there is that EV station scandal where they spent like billions and billions of dollars and they built like four electric vehicle stations or something like that.
00:30:43.120So don't only talk about that, but say, hey, where did all the money go?
00:30:47.120When I win, we're going to have an inquiry to figure out where the money went.
00:31:32.120So by putting out personnel ideas, he's sort of taking the offensive and circumnavigating an attack vector that the Democrats have exploited to some effect.
00:33:15.120Darren is so right to bring up poll watchers.
00:33:18.120I'm sure you guys saw Adam Kinzinger speak last night and Kerry Washington.
00:33:22.120Those two people are leading an effort for an organization that's funded by, you guessed it, George Soros, that's actually coordinating and actually advising election offices on who to pick as their poll watchers.
00:33:45.120The lawfare and the mistakes and the late night ballot dumps.
00:33:47.120By the way, I will be I feel like I'm talking a lot this episode.
00:33:50.120I guess I'm just very fired up to be back in D.C.
00:33:53.120Like I said, the first time since Steve went to jail, Steve, who has played such a pivotal role in my life, it's so tragic what they're doing to him.
00:34:22.120Talk about stolen valor for election workers down in Georgia, because apparently you guys, the war room posse are so scary and intimidating.
00:34:30.120I think you guys are wonderful and lovely.
00:34:33.120Someone else who I think probably shares that viewpoint is Josh Hammer, who's still with us now.
00:34:37.120Josh, I know I had to to cut you off, but I'd love to bring you back to keep walking through not just your piece for Newsweek,
00:34:42.120but more broadly kind of, you know, Darren's critiques of the DNC and your analysis of it.
00:34:51.120So, you know, it's great to be here on the war with Darren.
00:34:55.120So, look, you know, my critiques of the DNC notwithstanding, I fear that Darren is actually correct when it comes to the fact that the Democrats, from their own perspective, given their own expectations, they probably feel that they met expectations.
00:35:10.120But this is the key point now. The point is the reason that they think that they matched expectations and the reason that they think that their satanic conclave was a success is that they think that they can win an election just ignoring the past three and a half years,
00:35:25.120pretending like they're all unified and everything is fine and dandy, that it's all just kind of unicorns and cotton candy and kids smelling roses.
00:35:32.120When as recently as two and a half months ago, they were trying to convince Biden to drop Kamala from the ticket because she was considered an albatross around the net because she's so catastrophically unpopular.
00:35:42.120So the reason that they're that they're happy right now is because they think that they can get away with this.
00:35:48.120They think that they can ultimately bamboozle and to use your word to gaslight the American people into not actually voting on the issues into not caring about the fact that the economy is in the toilet.
00:35:58.120It's not caring about the fact that the world is on fire in multiple regions all throughout the globe and not caring about the fact that inflation reached a 40 year high, not caring about the fact that there have been millions of unvetted illegal aliens invading this country, committing horrific atrocities on a seemingly daily basis.
00:36:14.120So as long as Republicans in this remaining time focus on all those issues I just named economy, inflation, immigration and crime above all else, day in and day out, every single day in the campaign trail, hammer those themes.
00:36:26.520Trump on the border in Cochise County, Arizona, perfect example, hammer these themes day in and day out.
00:36:32.200I think that they will I think that they will be in good shape, honestly.
00:36:34.460And walk us through your sort of rundown of the RFK endorsement, how you think that that bodes for the Trump campaign or the Harris team, if you think that that endorsement probably, I would say, would move more voters than any alleged Beyonce appearances.
00:37:06.020No, but she was very happy when Beyonce did not make an appearance.
00:37:09.440Look, I think the RFK endorsement is a very big deal.
00:37:12.460You know, there are some people trying to downplay this.
00:37:14.340There are some friends of mine, even fellow conservatives who are saying this is not a big deal.
00:37:18.540RFK was polling like 15 to 17 percent just a few months ago.
00:37:22.520He's still polling in four or five percent in many national polls, disproportionately in some of the key swing states there.
00:37:27.660You know, if even 60 to 65 percent of the RFK supporters go to Trump, you know, that that that works out to about a point, point and a half, maybe two points in some of these swing states.
00:37:38.860In an election this type, that absolutely 100 percent could tip the scales of this election.
00:37:47.200I mean, you know, I shouldn't I shouldn't say shocking because he's a smart guy, obviously.
00:37:51.540But but he presented very, very well in that exit speech talking about how his father, RFK senior, how his uncle JFK, they would not recognize today's Democratic Party.
00:38:01.180And of course, that's totally right. You know, JFK was a cold warrior.
00:38:05.140He was deeply anti-Soviet. He would not recognize the fact that Bernie Sanders literally honeymooned in the Soviet Union, is now a primetime speaker and a kingmaker in today's Democratic Party.
00:38:15.180So he spoke very well. I think it's actually going to make an impact.
00:38:18.560I'm very bullish on the RFK endorsement, actually.
00:38:20.460And just walk us through. I'm curious your takes.
00:38:25.680I know at Newsweek, you guys are a little different than War Room.
00:38:29.140You guys, of course, have a wonderful opinion page.
00:38:31.380But, you know, we're always focused here.
00:38:33.320Like we always say, I sometimes don't even think that it's necessarily about the candidates.
00:38:37.280I think it's about what's sort of happening outside of the scope of politics, whether it's the mass mail and balloting.
00:38:45.100And, you know, the U.N. is stepping in now in the U.K. to help combat racism.
00:38:48.800I'm sure they'll probably be doing that that here soon.
00:38:51.620But just from from your perspective, you know, where do you see the fight on on election integrity and the sort of, you know, metadata of the election as opposed to the candidate quality?
00:39:03.500Do you think Republicans have gotten their their act together or do you think we're still leaving the goal wide open for some, you know, penalty kicks?
00:39:11.440I don't know if that sport metaphor sports metaphor checks, but I think it does.
00:39:14.920Yeah, unfortunately, Natalie, I think it's the latter.
00:39:19.440You know, look, yesterday, Arizona, the great state of Arizona had a tremendous victory at the U.S. Supreme Court, in this case, RNC versus Mi Familia Vota, where Arizona was allowed to proceed with enforcing its own proof of citizenship requirements when it comes to absentee balloting.
00:39:34.280But the scary part, and it's truly scary, was that this is a five to four decision.
00:39:39.420I mean, Amy Coney Barrett tragically joined the liberals.
00:39:41.880I mean, is there any issue in America that should be a nine to zero issue?
00:39:45.500I mean, I'm a lawyer, but you don't have to be a lawyer to know that it is common sense stuff, that a state should be able to make sure that you are a United States citizen to be able to vote in a federal election in that state.
00:39:56.220It's completely insane that this is considered a divisive issue legally or politically.
00:40:01.980But on the latter point, on the political point, there is a great piece of legislation called the SAVE Act.
00:40:06.980You know, at the Article III project, where I'm senior counsel with my good friend Mike Davis, you know, we're pushing really hard for House Republicans to make the SAVE Act a part of the impending must-pass piece of legislation when Congress gets back from their Labor Day recess.
00:40:20.480They have a funding deadline to fund the government at the end of September, come October 1st.
00:40:26.480Republicans should make sure that the SAVE Act, which is a federal piece of legislation that would require proof of citizenship in all the states, to make sure that that is a hard requirement for voting in a federal election, they should put that in the must-pass piece of legislation.
00:40:41.100If the Democrats, Natalie, want to shut down the federal government come October 1st on behalf of an illegal alien invasion's right to affect the outcome of our elections, let them do it.
00:40:52.880If that is the hill that they want to die on, that is not going to stand with the American people.
00:40:57.440This Biden-Harris administration's handling of the immigration issue is like 30 points underwater on the RealClearPolitics average last I checked.
00:41:04.120If they want to die on the hill of allowing illegal aliens to corrupt our electoral process, I think House Republicans should make them do it.
00:41:14.420It was also interesting, too, I think, on the DNC stage, a lot of topics that they sort of abstained from talking about, right?
00:41:20.320Though Harris tried to sort of weakly discuss the invasion at our southern border.
00:41:26.100I noticed she didn't really discuss climate change, which, of course, made that crazy eco-terrorist wing of the party very upset.
00:41:32.120But just from your perspective, were there any other topics that you think that they failed to really get a grasp on or cover in a meaningful way?
00:41:41.780You know, Natalie, I'm not sure that I can think of a single issue that I feel like they meaningfully covered.
00:41:46.660I mean, people today, people on social media last night were making a big deal of the fact that Kamala Harris promised affordable housing in her speech last night.
00:41:55.340Okay, I'm sorry, but just simply promising affordable housing, that's not a policy.
00:42:08.620I mean, that is a vague promise that you are just telling people in the hope that they will not look at the fact that you have not done that over the past three and a half years.
00:42:17.180You know, our generations, Gen Z's, millennials, they are acquiring homes, their home ownership rate at the age of 35 or 30, 35 is tragically and catastrophically lower than Gen X, to say nothing of the boomers, because the younger generations are simply not able to afford housing in this country.
00:42:34.420And the percentage of Americans more generally now who are having to make sacrifices when it comes to the grocery aisle simply to pay their utility bills, to put gasoline in their car, I mean, these are very real economic tradeoffs.
00:42:46.500And, you know, the Democrats pretend like the people out there are not actually making these tradeoffs.
00:42:50.920But, you know, the populist party of Trump and J.D. Vance, to their great credit, they are taking these issues head on as a stark contrast, I think.
00:42:58.080And, Joss, we've got to jump to break.
00:43:00.920We're certainly not going to surrender to the false calls of unity coming from, I don't know, the the rhinos who lost the Republican Party to cede background on the populist victories that we've held.
00:43:13.620We'll have Josh Hammer and Catherine O'Neill with us after this short break.
00:44:48.660I've been catching a lot of flack for my Michelle Obama remarks from two shows ago.
00:44:53.140And I just want to say I stand by all of it.
00:44:56.500We're still joined by Josh Hammer, who's got to bounce.
00:44:59.480But Josh, real quick, the audience one more time.
00:45:01.540If they want to read the piece, get the Newsweek opinion section, everything that you do over at the Article 3 Project 2, where can they go to find you, follow you, and do all that?
00:45:13.800The column I wrote, no one is buying it, is found at Newsweek and a bunch of other write-up center publications that run the column as well.
00:45:19.980And then I host two shows, The Josh Hammer Show and America on Trial with Josh Hammer.
00:45:23.820And then finally, The Article 3 Project is at article3project.org.
00:46:02.400It's the Escape Zone satellite phone Faraday bag.
00:46:05.700And you can check that out at darkbags.com.
00:46:08.300We all know that data theft is on the rise, Natalie, and people are trying to get into your phones and your laptops and everything else.
00:46:16.520But a Faraday bag prevents any of that.
00:46:19.500So the bag itself is lined with silver, copper, and other metals that help stop all signals.
00:46:25.820So they'll stop a 2G, 3G, 5G signal, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, you name it.
00:46:31.460And they'll also protect your device from solar flares, which turn into EMF or EMP flares, which are basically electromagnetic pulses or electromagnetic fields.
00:46:45.520And these can fry all electronic components.
00:46:48.400And these sometimes come from the sun, and they sometimes come from our enemies who've weaponized this kind of technology so that they can actually point an EMF or an EMP at a ship or at an office building or at a location and fry all the electronic components there.
00:47:07.940So the Faraday satellite bag, the Escape Zone satellite Faraday bag, is just $99, Natalie.
00:47:14.700It's on sale right now at darkbags.com.
00:47:17.040And then we also have, of course, the best-selling product we've had in a long time, which is the Bulletproof Backpack.
00:47:24.460We all saw what happened to President Trump.
00:47:27.000And, look, he has incredible protection, maybe not quite so incredible on that day, of course, but he has a lot of protection with him, and he still gets shot at.
00:47:35.840And anyone who lives in America's big cities these days can tell you that gun violence is on the rise.
00:47:41.440And, of course, there's always the fear of active shooters in a school situation.
00:47:47.320And with everyone going back to school, the kids going back to school right now, we all, as parents, want to make sure that our kids are safe.
00:47:53.800And one way to do that is with the Bulletproof Ballistic Faraday backpack.
00:47:58.200Now, this backpack is just 2.5 pounds in weight.
00:48:01.640It's 18 inches by 12 inches, 18 inches tall, 12 inches wide, and 5 inches deep.
00:48:07.940And it has a Kevlar panel inside that will stop gunfire from a handgun, a shotgun, or even automatic weapons fire.
00:48:16.760It has been certified by the NIJ, the National Institute of Justice, to Level 3A.
00:48:24.540So it has been tested and proven in the field.
00:48:27.300It will stop any handgun bullet up to a .44 Magnum, shotgun blast, or 9mm automatic weapons fire.
00:48:33.940So this is something that can give your kids a fighting chance in the classroom, you know, protecting them from gunfire.
00:48:40.740They can hold this in front of them and have a fighting chance.
00:48:44.260It's also something that anyone can wear anywhere.
00:48:47.620I've had a couple of friends who are in Detroit recently, and they just walked around the street and walked right into gunfire.
00:48:52.940And you just don't know when it's going to happen.
00:48:55.780You know, crime is absolutely everywhere, and guns and gun violence is on the rise, sadly.
00:49:02.440So this Bulletproof Backpack from dogbags.com can be a real lifesaver.
00:49:07.000And you can also call us if you want more information at 941-845-6808.
