On this episode of The War Room with Royce White House Correspondent's Dinner, host Steve Kamb joins us to talk about what it means to be a MAGA, and why Donald Trump should run for President in 2020.
00:02:09.860But I do get tired of seeing what's happening with this country.
00:02:12.300And if it got so bad, I would never want to rule it out totally because I really am tired of seeing what's happening with this country, how we're really making other people live like kings and we're not.
00:02:57.200I mean, that sounds exactly like what Donald Trump is saying.
00:03:00.600Still to this day, the man hasn't wavered one bit on foreign policy in 40 years.
00:03:05.220And that's what attracted me to the MAGA movement, Donald Trump, the great Steve Bannon, the War Room Posse, because we deal with things as they actually are, not as we want them to be.
00:08:45.980It's just the demoralization of society.
00:08:49.800And it talks about moving people away from the church and their beliefs.
00:08:54.540They want them to believe in the government.
00:08:56.440They want them to believe in pornography.
00:08:57.760They want them to believe in all this stuff instead of believing in God and country like this country was founded on.
00:09:03.440I mean, our forefathers were not communists.
00:09:06.620And today we're moving towards communists.
00:09:09.520We're moving away from what America was.
00:09:11.720And the communists have also taken the corporations and they've taken this economy and a lot of our essential goods and some of our daily household products such as Warpath Coffee.
00:09:26.340I mean, Warpath Coffee is an American patriotic product.
00:12:06.780If your father or your grandfather or your great-grandfather served in World War II, that is to be honored.
00:12:12.600If you have their medals, you continue to honor those memories and that legacy and that sacrifice.
00:12:19.200We're not talking about the soldiers who fought.
00:12:21.900We're talking about that World War II was the marker in time when a lot of these institutions really got up and running.
00:12:29.100And there you see, it's the USA Today, you know, ex-NBA player and ultra-maga extremist conspiracy theorist says the bad guys won World War II.
00:12:39.200Guys, first of all, let us not forget the history that the Russians who we allied with in World War II were communists.
00:12:49.180They were Stalinist communists to begin with.
00:13:25.700If the marker of goodness in a society is genocide or not genocide, then the Soviets would fall firmly on the bad guy side of things.
00:13:34.960And not only that, after the war was over, and everybody remembers, or you should remember, maybe this went down the memory hole,
00:13:41.520that we took Nazi scientists and military men and we incorporated them into our military scientific research and development and into our academic institutions.
00:13:52.380Yeah, right, and then all of the Nazis that were still out there in Eastern Europe on the Eastern Bloc, we commissioned to run counterintelligence on the Russians.
00:14:00.420That was Operation Paperclip and Overcast.
00:14:02.820So not only were we allied with the communists to begin with in the war, then we took on the Nazis after the war.
00:14:07.900And you've got to ask yourself, who was the benefactor?
00:17:09.460Who really benefited from World War II?
00:17:11.520I mean, if we say to ourselves, fascism was such a great terror and danger that we had to give 80 million lives in six years to sort that out,
00:17:26.060to sort out this turning of global society at the time, fine.
00:17:31.900But then you don't turn around and incorporate Nazi scientists into your military and into your academic institutions on a military basis,
00:17:40.200on the basis of some great rush or race to advance in technology against the same allies who you just fought the war with.
00:17:51.540I mean, the narrative, it's crazy to me that people even would buy that.
00:30:39.260And when I evacuated, I believed that I wasn't going to come home to a house.
00:30:44.340That's how badly the storm was supposed to wreak havoc on the Gulf Coast.
00:30:50.340And like you see in the B-roll, you know, there was destruction and there were deaths.
00:30:56.100Right now, as of this morning, there are 17 deaths due to Hurricane Milton.
00:31:00.700However, by the grace of God, this made landfall at a Category 3.
00:31:05.620And by the time it got to Sarasota, so it made landfall on Siesta Key, which is south of Pinellas County, and a barrier island, you know, in front of Sarasota.
00:31:16.620So it made landfall in Siesta Key at a Category 3 and then made landfall, again, in Sarasota at a Category 2 and swept across the state.
00:31:27.820You know, we're seeing deaths actually come from the tornadoes that were ahead of Milton in landfall, which not many people, really, I don't think anyone expected hurricane or tornadoes to hit the east coast of Florida prior to Milton.
00:31:46.600Milton making landfall on the west coast of Florida, like I said, you know, Governor DeSantis, I know the posse isn't always a fan of Governor DeSantis, but he honestly prepared us as best that he could.
00:31:59.380And he had 50,000 linemen on standby prior to Milton making landfall so that power could be restored as quickly as possible to us here.
00:32:10.200You know, as of this morning, there's 106 million people still without power in the state of Florida, but that has gone down from almost 3 million as of Thursday morning.
00:32:21.380So I think that we're extremely lucky, and I know I say that even though there has been death and destruction in this state, we're extremely lucky that it was not worse.
00:32:35.800Because if Hurricane Milton, and let me make myself clear, if it had made landfall at a Category 5, there would have been significant death and destruction.
00:32:45.520We would have seen catastrophic results like we did in western North Carolina.
00:32:50.180And in general, we've talked, there's been a lot of attention drawn to FEMA's readiness since Helene.
00:33:00.460And I know you've had choice words about the president and the vice president and their lack of response and FEMA's lack of response in the region.
00:33:12.640How do you feel now, even with what happened there with Helene?
00:33:16.600Do you still, do you feel that the response has been adequate, or do you think that it's still lackluster?
00:33:21.980I still feel like it is lackluster, and I also now have issue with, at least in my county, not my congresswoman, because she did an amazing job preparing Pinellas County for Hurricane Milton.
00:33:39.260I have an issue with local officials in my county that closed the dump or gates to the dump in Pinellas County prior to Milton making landfall.
00:33:49.100And I mean within days of Milton making landfall, so that it took longer for people to get debris from Hurricane Helene to the dump.
00:33:59.720There were like three, four plus hour long waits to drop off debris.
00:34:04.500And I found out that it's been reported that they locked some of the gates because they couldn't confirm where debris was coming from.
00:34:13.340And in order to get reimbursed by FEMA, they have to provide documentation of where that debris is coming from.
00:34:22.220So we need to look into local officials.
00:34:26.000I think that FEMA's response has not been great with Western North Carolina.
00:34:31.000I don't expect it to be great here in Florida.
00:34:33.300My congresswoman, she tweeted that she spoke with President Biden and is supportive of a $15 billion in FEMA funds only for hurricane victims.
00:34:46.120But that would require Congress to come back into session, a special session, in order to vote on that.
00:34:52.600And Speaker Mike Johnson, when she originally tried to contact him about this, would not answer her phone call.
00:34:58.640She has since been able to speak with Speaker Johnson, but that was Thursday when this all occurred.
00:35:46.220The great Mo Bannon, ladies and gentlemen, with the update from Central Florida.
00:35:49.600She's down there after Hurricane Milton.
00:35:51.580Mo, tell us where you do any pardon shots.
00:35:53.440And tell us where we can follow you, obviously, as you head out this Saturday morning.
00:35:57.860Really quickly, I also wanted to address that just because we're dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Milton doesn't mean that get-out-the-vote efforts haven't stopped.
00:36:08.800You know, the rest of the country, besides, you know, the southeast that has been devastated by back-to-back hurricanes, you have a chance.
00:36:19.420You need to make sure that your friends and family are registered to vote.
00:36:23.720You need to check and make sure that the dates for your state haven't already passed to register to vote.
00:36:31.060You need to make sure you're registered, all of your friends and family are registered, and that not only are you registered, but you have a plan to get out and vote and make sure that your vote counts.
00:36:45.960You can download that app, TP Action app.
00:36:48.120And if you're specifically in Nevada, Nevada GOP, you can sign up at talk.donaldtrump.com in order to, you know, reach out to people to make sure they have a plan in place.
00:37:09.920But we need to come together and make sure that we have a plan in place for when devastation occurs again, because hurricanes are not going to stop.
00:38:23.280The reality is that change only comes through courage, and we've got to have that courage.
00:38:29.160Courage is not kicking the can down the road, continued resolutions, raising the debt ceiling, sending more foreign aid to our allies, quote-unquote.
00:38:39.540We don't know how much they really are, our allies, to be quite honest with you.
00:38:45.340But sending more money to our allies, quote-unquote, than we reserve for the American people in times of crisis.
00:38:52.200And we're in a crisis in the most general sense, but certainly natural disasters.
00:38:57.120I mean, a $750 check to the people in the path of Helene.
