00:00:00.000 All right, welcome to Real America's Voice Live coverage of President Trump's midterm rally in Bullhead City, Arizona.
00:00:08.200 Guys, nice to see you today. It's a very warm day here in the nation's capital, 90 degrees.
00:00:13.000 But I'm going to start with you, Ben. I bet it might be a bit warmer there.
00:00:15.840 We have, what do I call it, LTS, Love Trump Syndrome. We're going to start our own disease. Love Trump Syndrome.
00:00:24.420 We have to see him dance. We're all going to do the Trump dance.
00:00:27.340 I'll mock the fake news to some of them.
00:00:29.480 They're already doing some interviews over here.
00:00:31.220 I'm hoping we have a couple protesters.
00:00:34.040 One would think, one would hope, that Secret Service has this place locked down so tightly.
00:00:39.980 I see Ben pointing there.
00:00:41.480 What are you pointing at, Ben?
00:00:42.960 Oh, I'm just watching.
00:00:43.960 It looks like we've got Air Force One.
00:00:45.600 It's too far behind us to see it with the cameras yet.
00:00:48.740 But it looks like he's coming to the south and he's going to be coming north
00:00:51.640 as soon as he gets into a position where we can see him.
00:00:54.800 Yeah, we've got it.
00:00:55.620 Air Force One is on the ground.
00:00:56.960 He is taxiing over.
00:00:59.040 Man, that's a big, beautiful plane.
00:01:01.620 And you saw the brand new 747 Air Force One.
00:01:04.680 It was about time.
00:01:06.220 When they give you a 747, you say two words.
00:01:10.800 Thank you.
00:01:12.100 It was great to represent this country in the 1996 Olympic Games,
00:01:18.240 to go out there and represent the red, white, and blue.
00:01:22.400 We couldn't have chose a better president twice than Donald Trump.
00:01:26.960 I also want to say a happy birthday.
00:01:31.860 33 years old, he would be today.
00:01:34.320 Charlie Kirk, the great Charlie Kirk.
00:01:39.200 And to Erica, we love you, Erica, and the family. 1.00

00:02:15.260 what our country needs we don't we don't need the muslim brotherhood in as a senator and as you can 1.00
00:02:21.000 We see President Trump there taking questions from reporters for a brief gaggle leaving from Bullhead City, Arizona, on his way to Kalispell, Montana. 1.00
00:02:30.660 This is our MAGA midterm rally coverage.
00:02:33.800 We were just in Arizona.
00:02:35.080 Now, of course, we're going back up to Kalispell, Montana.
00:02:38.240 President Trump has boarded Air Force One on his way, about a two-hour trip up to Kalispell.
00:02:43.380 I'll tell you, coming off the airport, coming in the airport and looking at the mountains in Kalispell is absolutely stunning.
00:02:51.660 It is a beautiful state.
00:02:57.540 I love Trump, what he does.
00:02:59.400 You know, it's a great time in our country right now.
00:03:02.080 He needs support.
00:03:02.980 The midterms are important.
00:03:04.260 So we're here to support everybody involved.
00:03:06.080 I am excited for the president to show support, especially for legal immigration.
00:03:12.580 I moved to this country 26 years ago, the legal way, and I am a proud American citizen.
00:03:17.920 Please protect our president that we love and support with all of our hearts.
00:03:21.920 And God bless the United States of America.
00:03:25.620 And Montana is going to bring home another W as we keep moving forward with our America First agenda.
00:03:33.240 You can stand for Charlie. You can stand for Charlie.
00:03:36.280 It's his birthday.
00:03:38.740 They can take Charlie, but they're not taking our future.
00:03:41.480 I am here with Congressman Zinke, a congressman.
00:03:44.520 So this is a huge rally.
00:03:46.240 You've had a huge turnout.
00:03:48.040 What does this tell you about the November 3rd?
00:03:50.740 This is Trump country.
00:03:52.300 And Montana's a lot of things.
00:03:53.600 We're not communists.
00:03:54.700 No one is like President Trump.
00:03:56.520 He's Mr. Rally, and I've been with him a lot.
00:03:58.960 He's been in Montana probably more times than all the presidents combined.
00:04:02.360 You know, and Montanans gravitate to the American First agenda, but they love President Trump.
00:04:07.440 U.S.
00:04:09.080 U.S.
00:04:09.760 U.S.
00:04:11.480 Hello, Montana. We love you, Montana. We love you.
00:04:17.160 We abolished all discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion policies throughout the federal government.
00:04:24.580 We got critical race theory and transgender insanity out of our schools and out of the military. 0.82
00:04:33.060 We made English the official language of the United States of America. 1.00
00:04:38.380 America belongs to those who love it, not to those who hate it.
00:04:53.360 Yeah, I mean, the guy is so good.
00:04:56.220 That was a great way of putting that cycle of hate.
00:04:59.780 Well, he also talked about other issues.
00:05:03.000 Elise, he talked about abortion and talked to a fellow Christian who was pro-life.
00:05:07.860 He was pro-choice. They they went through it and talked about it was very I thought it was done very well.
00:05:13.580 He he talked about said he made a mistake when he talked about God being I don't know what his words were, fluid or many genders, many genders back in 21 and had a great, great response to that.
00:05:29.560 So, you know, I was trying to be to provoke. I want to be a minister.
00:05:32.340 Sometimes you say something that's provocative, and, boy, I really messed up on that one, et cetera, et cetera, and I've got to learn to do better.
00:05:40.260 He struck all the right notes.
00:05:42.860 He was real.
00:05:43.980 And he's going up against a guy who's in hiding.
00:05:46.220 It's so funny.
00:05:46.860 Ken Paxton says that Tallarico was hiding for nine days because he had the flu, getting better inside his house.
00:05:53.600 Ken Paxton won't even debate him.
00:05:55.660 He's scared of him.
00:05:56.380 Here's this guy that's always talking about low T.
00:05:59.080 Who's got low T?
00:06:00.020 That guy's scared of James Tallarico.
00:06:03.160 Hi, what's your name?
00:06:04.140 I'm Jody Hunt.
00:06:04.980 Nice to meet you.
00:06:05.700 Hi, I'm from Burleson, Texas.
00:06:07.200 Hey, Burleson, yeah.
00:06:07.840 I'm also an eighth generation Texan.
00:06:09.360 Hey, wonderful.
00:06:10.380 Yeah, fantastic.
00:06:11.000 My family's been here since the revolution.
00:06:12.940 Yeah.
00:06:13.420 Yeah, so we're very happy, very good Texans.
00:06:15.940 I'm a wife and mom of three.
00:06:17.620 Wonderful.
00:06:18.080 Like you, I'm also an educator.
00:06:19.420 Hey, thank you.
00:06:19.720 And back in 2011, I was teaching in San Antonio.
00:06:22.200 Wow, we have a lot in common.
00:06:23.440 Yeah, at a Catholic private school, Antonian College Prep.
00:06:26.000 So shout out to all those students, former students there.
00:06:28.420 I'm now a university professor. My topic is abortion. I am a Catholic, an Orthodox Catholic.
00:06:36.760 As you know, Catholics, we tend, and I myself included, to be a one-issue voter.
00:06:41.940 And abortion is a large part of that, and the dignity of human person and natural law.
00:06:46.200 I'm a theologian, and so we have something in common.
00:06:50.440 And because of that, we believe that at the moment of conception, there is a human life to protect. 0.90
00:06:56.100 and so we struggle with the idea that it's the woman's right to choose because it takes two 0.81
00:07:02.520 people to create that being and the woman is the bearer of that child into the world
00:07:06.960 and through co-creation that child has been created so as people we are to protect that 0.76
00:07:12.960 life at all costs and so what makes it difficult for us to vote democrat is that we have this idea
00:07:20.160 that if you cannot provoke like provide policies or support policies that protect the most innocent
00:07:25.440 among us who is the unborn child how can we trust that you're going to provide policies to protect
00:07:32.240 the rest of texans and to promote dignity and human life in that um so i challenge you on that
00:07:37.920 yeah um and to provide some some feedback on like how would you convince me as a catholic voter
00:07:42.880 yeah i can trust you that you would protect the most innocent among us i'm so so grateful that
00:07:47.840 you that you brought that question because i think there's a lot of folks in texas a lot of catholics
00:07:52.400 who are asking themselves the same question.
00:07:54.400 So thank you for doing it.
00:07:55.280 I know it's not easy to do it on live television,
00:07:56.880 but I'm really, really grateful you did.
00:08:00.040 You know, some of my spiritual heroes,
00:08:02.200 like Pope Francis and Pope Leo, are pro-life.
00:08:07.280 And they are consistently pro-life.
00:08:09.960 They're not just against abortion,
00:08:12.060 but they are against poverty,
00:08:15.180 against climate change, against war.
00:08:19.080 And so I can respect anyone like you
00:08:21.080 who is consistently pro-life. And I actually think there's common ground we can find here.
00:08:27.060 We may come to different moral and ethical conclusions when it comes to the question of
00:08:32.700 should abortion be legal or not? It sounds like you and I do come to a different conclusion.
00:08:36.560 That's okay. We're both Christians and the Bible is silent on the issue of abortion. It means you 0.76
00:08:43.480 and I both have to look at different scriptures to try to come to a conclusion. But what I think
00:08:49.540 we can do is actually come together on reducing the number of unplanned pregnancies and the number
00:08:56.520 of abortions. Because if we treat this issue as a public health problem and not a culture war
00:09:03.420 problem, then we can actually make progress together. And this is what drives me crazy
00:09:08.240 about this debate, is we use it to kind of beat each other over the head, right? We treat it as
00:09:14.340 a philosophical debate or a theological debate when actually it's a public policy problem
00:09:19.800 because I also want to see fewer unplanned or unwanted pregnancies. I want to see fewer
00:09:25.720 abortions. And so you and I actually have the same goal. We may have different moral conclusions
00:09:32.580 when it comes to this particular ethical question, but we actually have the same public policy goal.
00:09:39.120 And so if we can do that, if we can join together to make sure that we have scientifically valid sex education, age appropriate sex education, if we can make sure that folks who need contraception can get it, if we can make sure that everyone has health care, something the Catholic Church has led on, then we know that that reduces the number of abortions.
00:09:59.380 Because you can look at the research and you see that certain policy levers, like sex education, like health care, can actually reduce the number of abortions.
00:10:08.360 And that's what I'm willing to work with you on.
00:10:10.100 And I just want to add that the Bible is not silent on abortion.
00:10:13.520 There is the Ten Commandments, that shall not kill.
00:10:15.280 And as Catholics, we take great insults, I guess, sometimes when it's just about it that way.
00:10:23.060 Boom. Thursday, 15 October, year of the Lord, 2026.
00:10:29.380 Right now, last night you saw Tava Frico up there bobbing and weaving as the polling and the whole shift in Texas is coming our way.
00:10:39.380 And it's going to take obviously more effort. We're going to be spending time about Michigan.
00:10:43.840 Scott Pressler is going to join us in about Pennsylvania.
00:10:47.660 Scott's also going to talk about these voter registrations and the impact that they've had.
00:10:51.620 But you saw President Trump barnstorming, and let's just go back and do a quick reset, what he's doing.
00:10:59.500 Because the mainstream media is saying, oh, he's got to go to all these super red states.
00:11:05.420 He's won by 20 points.
00:11:06.540 So he went to Alaska.
00:11:07.680 Wasela, which is the hometown of Sarah Palin, where she was mayor, which packed house, Arizona, Bullhead City, was Paul Gosar's district.
00:11:20.100 not that paul needed assistance but centrally located you had a lot of folks from nevada there
00:11:24.520 they were able to put it up in nevada local tv uh you had the chairman of the nevada republican
00:11:30.960 party you had other uh personages from the republican party in nevada so it was kind of
00:11:38.260 centrally located to get folks there amazing rally yesterday and and on the ground uh ben
00:11:44.280 Burkwam incredible job incredible uh you know just man in the streets and then last night to go to
00:11:52.680 uh Montana and to go to Kalispell and uh the people there were absolutely correct coming in
00:11:58.920 Glacier National Park right there one of the most in a country that is stunningly beautiful
00:12:04.020 and that has an American west that is breathtakingly beautiful uh up in that part
00:12:11.120 of the country and particularly glacier national park is just uh you're gobsmacked of the absolute
00:12:16.160 stunning beauty of it um and of course another packed house last night people outside jumbotrons
00:12:21.900 everywhere uh and rallying and that's for montana so he's there for um for house seat this uh
00:12:29.800 commander zinke's old seat montana won it i'm pretty sure it is uh and and that's a tight race
00:12:36.340 The reason is you've had all these freaks from the Bay Area that have infested Montana,
00:12:43.900 particularly the mountain areas of Montana, Western Montana during COVID. 0.86
00:12:46.980 And then thereafter, and you see now that that's a tight race.
00:12:51.600 Even Commander Zinke would be under pressure to hold it.
00:12:55.220 It's a couple of point race.
00:12:56.580 President Trump's up there with all the local media and the coverage.
00:12:59.680 And pumping people up to hear that message live is just like in Arizona.
00:13:03.940 Bullhead City was incredible.
00:13:05.380 got activists from all over the states clearly there to try to help any bigs close this the
00:13:10.480 rest of those state races are like virtually dead heats and he's back a couple of points
00:13:14.940 and of course you've got the uh you've got arizona one and one siskamani's race down there in the
00:13:20.820 tucson area these house seats all important in alaska i think dan sullivan will pull this out
00:13:26.740 because the momentum point is president trump is locking down these right now with these rallies
00:13:32.900 heading to georgia i think on uh on friday georgia's you know got some challenges no doubt
00:13:39.140 some early voting there uh i would say looking is concerning um and you've got uh and then i
00:13:46.120 think he's going to go really to southern ohio but you're going to do it in uh in an arena in
00:13:51.480 northern uh kentucky on saturday i think the president's uh schedule as i'm talking to people
00:13:57.600 is going to be really packed for the next two and a half weeks with rallies.
00:14:02.620 And I think you're going to get to multiple rallies, these airport rallies.
00:14:05.740 I want to thank our sponsor, Birch Gold.
00:14:09.020 Financial Times of London, I think it is.
00:14:10.760 I'll get this story and get it up.
00:14:13.340 Experts are predicting, this is experts, not the worm,
00:14:16.420 that gold could reach all-time highs during the next two years.
00:14:19.660 Part of that is about the onslaught against the U.S. dollar 0.86
00:14:23.720 from the BRICS nations and what's going on in this war in the Middle East, oil, all that.
00:14:29.580 The other is that the central banks, as we reported the other day,
00:14:32.460 particularly the Chinese Communist Party central banks,
00:14:34.780 central banks throughout the world are continuing to buy gold in record rates.
00:14:39.180 How do you find out about this?
00:14:40.180 Birchgold.com slash Bannon, end of the dollar empire, a free installments.
00:14:43.840 But most importantly, you get all the information.
00:14:46.380 There's no obligation.
00:14:47.460 You can immerse yourself, take your time in learning it.
00:14:50.160 But talk to Philip Patrick and his team and talk to them today about why gold has been a hedge for 3,000 years of mankind's history.
00:14:59.920 We're a couple of months out, but the midterms are fast approaching.
00:15:04.420 And make no mistake, if the House flips to the Democrats, it's a big deal for our economy.
00:15:11.200 That uncertainty is one of the reasons to diversify with gold from Birch Gold Group.
00:15:16.500 In the three months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the spot price of gold jumped over 12 percent.
00:15:24.100 Now, why was that? Because we've taught you here on the show, it's a hedge against times of uncertainty.
00:15:31.760 If you don't own gold, I would suggest talking to Birch Gold Group, Philip Patrick and the team.
00:15:37.800 They'll discuss your goals, explain how precious metals can fit into your savings.
00:15:41.920 They can even help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold with no additional money out of your pocket.
00:15:52.780 Easiest way to do this is text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898.
00:15:58.560 Get a free information kit and get some solid information on gold.
00:16:04.580 The midterms will be here before you know it.
00:16:07.520 Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898.
00:16:11.420 Here's your host, Stephen K. Van.
00:16:16.700 Okay, welcome back.
00:16:18.980 It is Thursday, 15 October, year of the Lord, 2026.
00:16:22.300 A lot to go through today.
00:16:24.300 I want to get Neil McCabe at the White House.
00:16:27.140 Neil, because you for years have covered these rallies and covered this about President Trump when he starts barnstorming.
00:16:34.480 I would anticipate, folks, that President Trump is obviously very, very focused on these midterm elections, and he is going to be doing, I think, an increasing number of rallies that will, I think, a lot of these, or some of these, I shouldn't say a lot, some of these, I think, probably more and more and more, are these going to be these airport rallies where it's like you pull up on the tarmac.
00:16:58.500 there's a stage set either in a hangar right there you saw i think in bullhead city you're
00:17:03.540 going to go pull up there'll be a couple of thousand people and he can do multiple rally
00:17:08.320 he can do multiple stops a day uh and i think this is how he's going to drive his message he's
00:17:13.520 going to go in because you you saturate local media when he goes in these house races but he's
00:17:18.780 also going to spend some time on these uh on senate races obviously that's why he went to
00:17:23.540 alaska right he really went to arizona somewhat for the the house races but really i think for
00:17:29.900 andy bakes and statewide ticket and i think everybody in arizona appreciates the president
00:17:34.660 coming all the way down to bullhead city and obviously he was in montana they have a senate
00:17:41.100 race there but the senate race they're going to win by a wide margin because they got this weird
00:17:46.440 thing i think they've got a uh a guy's a former college president trying to run as an independent
00:17:50.640 Anyway, the Democrats have got a couple of different alternatives, but I think the Senate race there is going to be fairly safe.
00:17:58.500 It's this House race in Montana 1, and the president's not shy about saying, hey, if I got to go to Kalispell, really the northwest corner of Montana, not that far away from the Canadian border, to lock down a House seat, I'll go and lock down a House seat.
00:18:13.920 I do think we're seeing some movement.
00:18:15.640 There is a piece up in one of the newsletters on one of the sites, Jake Sherman's site today, talks about the House expanding for the Democrats, and they're out trying to raise money.
00:18:31.300 But talk to DeGrasse tomorrow about that. DeGrasse will be with me as we go through these different elements in these House races.
00:18:39.020 uh as uh you know they're all these are going to be very tight within margin error but the
00:18:44.700 democrats are seeing some opportunity i think the range people are talking about is anywhere
00:18:48.880 from nine to twenty seats now the key the purpose of the exercise is to get that nine down to
00:18:55.820 under four right to get it down just a couple uh and try to hold the house here it's not impossible
00:19:01.620 it's a it's a tough march particularly the democrats think they have opportunities and
00:19:06.500 we have less than some stellar candidates like the situation up in New Jersey with Keene and
00:19:15.620 some of these other folks. But look, it's a fight. President's going to be very engaged in it.
00:19:20.320 And the good news I can tell you is everywhere we talk, every day we're on these conference calls
00:19:24.720 with grassroots people, they are absolutely getting out, doing the canvassing, doing the
00:19:31.120 calling etc so whether it's pennsylvania virginia these seats in georgia florida uh back around to
00:19:37.820 texas uh up to michigan ohio all of it uh the fight is engaged just know that people there
00:19:44.080 are very very engaged in this let's go we got neil mccabe at the white house can i get uh
00:19:48.380 can i get neil up neil first off you've covered enough of these neil's not there yet okay perfect
00:19:55.180 um the um okay that's neil when you tell me at the white house i assume you're at the white house
00:20:02.260 um the um let's go and put up do we have the clip from president from talk about if not let's get
00:20:09.480 the true social up there's two things going on here one i want to talk about texas and the shifting
00:20:13.900 of uh texas uh particularly around uh talarico and uh and abbott and and paxton but i want to go
00:20:21.060 to this situation in uh in uh north carolina as you know the north carolina situation if we put
00:20:28.700 up president trump's true social i'll read from it in a second but if you got um if you have um
00:20:34.660 north carolina they're two intense races in the in the house and particularly it's not hudson some
00:20:42.500 of these other ones that democrats should expand to i think the candidates i think the locals are
00:20:46.680 doing just fine there there's this issue about the uh about the senate race and michael whatley
00:20:52.360 from from the rnc and there's a lesson to be learned here he did not have tremendous uh statewide
00:20:59.200 uh name recognition right uh just keep that up while i talk because i want to go to the specifics
00:21:05.180 on this for the for the president because i think this just popped and it's a area interest and it's
00:21:10.640 one of the things that people i think have felt and having reviewed a lot of whatley's um let's
00:21:17.860 say campaign ads material uh and facebook posting all this i mean it's a it's a great campaign it's
00:21:25.180 a solid campaign if you're normal times but it has kind of not been i think raising the stakes
00:21:31.340 about what worry cooper would do in the united states senate and how quite frankly radical
00:21:38.160 rory cooper is because rory cooper comes across as a a southern gentleman kindly country lawyer
00:21:44.300 which he's anything but he's one of the more radical governors we had from years ago and
00:21:48.940 people know his track record i'm not so sure that tracker is being pounded every day um
00:21:53.800 and uh and whatley with the name recognition and then where his name was recognized it didn't have
00:21:59.280 a tremendous amount of grassroots juice now i think people and that they had a pretty big spread
00:22:04.920 on this a couple of months ago that's tightening what i can tell you is that all of these races are
00:22:11.680 tightening as the gravitational pull of republicans and mega voters some of whom are very upset about
00:22:20.080 certain elements particularly the biggest bone of contention is the war and you know why we've
00:22:25.320 engaged in this understanding president trump still making the case hey i had to take out the
00:22:29.600 nuclear weapon that's my focus that's why i did that's why i did it it had to be done i think as
00:22:35.200 you see the gravitational pull and particularly as people are working phone banks and people are
00:22:39.580 going door to door and canvassing the one thing i can tell you is i don't think that um i don't
00:22:45.980 think there's a big contingent of independents or modern democrats or even young people that voted
00:22:51.700 for trump in 2024 that are coming out and voting against it and i think this is a huge revelation
00:22:57.580 and it's we haven't 100% locked that down but I think you can see that they're not coming out and
00:23:02.560 vote against it they're just not coming out to vote and the composition of your electorate
00:23:08.040 is very different in midterm elections than in general presidential cycles that's the point
00:23:13.820 I tried to make with I tried to make with uh Ted Koppel or I think I made it Ted Koppel and the
00:23:19.640 other night with Chris Cuomo that a lot of these people in the Cuomo introduction with Stephen A.
00:23:25.560 smith i think falls into this trap it almost becomes a psyop they talk about all these generic
00:23:30.380 you know all these generic polls they're very much predicated on um on on a general election
00:23:37.900 electorate for a presidential cycle that's not where we're in you have you're going to have
00:23:43.920 roughly i think 100 million people vote roughly as we can tell now things in georgia there's some
00:23:49.640 interesting statistics coming out of georgia that will hopefully if we can't get to later
00:23:53.460 this morning, we'll do it this afternoon, or tomorrow, that shows a pretty big engagement
00:23:59.220 in early voting, I think, from the African-American community. I'm not sure we're seeing that
00:24:03.060 in other places, like in Michigan or like in Texas, where I don't think you're seeing
00:24:08.860 engagement of African-American men to support Talafrico or to support Abdul up in Michigan.
00:24:17.720 And this situation with Tallarico and the 12-day head cold is starting to have an impact.
00:24:24.780 Polling, even Marist, that we'll get to with McCabe in a second, even Marist, which is
00:24:29.680 a pretty renowned left-wing polling operation, is showing the softening of the support and
00:24:36.300 the shifting of the support for Tallarico.
00:24:40.260 There's other polls out there right now that shows that Paxson is within margin of error
00:24:44.300 is up maybe even a point or two.
00:24:47.860 So all of these are in play.
00:24:49.400 And even in North Carolina, if the president is now reiterating this over and over again,
00:24:56.120 I anticipate he's going to go back to North Carolina.
00:24:58.660 And you would think as far behind as Whatley has looked in the past.
00:25:03.560 And there's a couple of people around Obama pretty sophisticated saying, hey, look, we've
00:25:09.100 fallen into this trap, not just in Texas, we've fallen into this trap before in places
00:25:13.560 like North Carolina, and Trump always seems to be able to pull it out. The situation with Cooper,
00:25:18.260 I think, is going to play into it. Let me get Neil McCabe. Neil's now up at the White House.
00:25:21.720 Neil, thank you. First off, Neil, I'm going to hold you through a break. I want to go back.
00:25:25.680 You've covered enough Trump rallies. The president, people should understand, he has bought in hard
00:25:30.520 on this. He is going to be out. And I assume from what I've heard is that if he's not doing actual
00:25:37.880 rallies like flying in and going into to georgia to do a rally or going to kentucky to do a rally
00:25:43.820 really for uh for southern ohio he's going to be doing teletown halls and tell and this is where
00:25:50.200 he brought this cooper thing the first time i think was on a teletown hall the other day with
00:25:54.760 certain people in north carolina uh talk to me just about the intensity and the urgency you're
00:26:00.560 feeling at the white house now of president trump in full campaign and combat mode yeah there's an
00:26:07.400 absolute jump. I would say post Xi summit, the White House is sort of really engaged in the
00:26:16.500 political messaging. And then, of course, you see the president out on the road. And an important
00:26:22.200 component of the president being out there on these rallies is that that is his focus group.
00:26:28.600 And he gauges the reaction and he gauges the applause lines and he'll say something and it
00:26:35.520 falls flat, he won't mention it again. But if he if people start jumping out of their shoes,
00:26:40.740 then he knows he's hit upon something and he just pounds it and pounds it and pounds it.
00:26:45.720 And I think he's really found a rhetorical groove and people are now responding. A lot of times
00:26:51.920 people just want to know, is this a real fight or have you given up? And, you know, there are times
00:26:58.340 other presidents, I would say the last two years of George W. Bush, they basically gave up the
00:27:03.700 ghost and we're just riding out the clock. This president is running through the tape and people
00:27:09.720 are responding to that. If they see Trump running through the tape, they're going to run through the
00:27:14.060 tape, Steve. Neil, fantastic. Stick around. I've got more to go and we're going to have some
00:27:20.840 grassroots leaders over the next hour talk about actually how this is going as we intensely focus
00:27:27.600 on these midterm elections. It was supposed to be a tsunami. There was going to be a blue wave.
00:27:32.860 and then it was going to be red undertow.
00:27:35.220 Who knows?

00:29:44.640 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:29:47.380 okay neil mccabe's at the at the white house neil uh i'm gonna come back we're gonna talk
00:29:53.220 about texas specifically in north carolina but just once again the attitude over at the white
00:29:58.720 house and president trump's really engagement and president trump i think stepping up and say hey
00:30:02.240 look it's the fourth quarter give me the ball right it's kind of his mentality in sports
00:30:07.580 his mentality overall that i think for too long you know the democrats have always put him as
00:30:14.780 it's a referendum on trump pretty simple this is what this is why this is why midterms have always
00:30:20.080 gone against presidents uh you know historically and you can't avoid that you have to engage with
00:30:26.460 them for too long you go back to to january and you had these meetings they were they would leak
00:30:31.420 it out they're going to focus on you know prescription drug prices all these things are
00:30:35.760 very important but avoiding the fact that this is a referendum on trump and the best person
00:30:41.500 to sell this message is President Trump and to explain to, once again, to the MAGA base
00:30:50.380 his rationale for this war, right, which I think has been very helpful. A lot of people don't
00:30:55.320 agree with it. Some people vehemently disagree with it. But at least he's engaging in that.
00:30:59.500 You can tell now at the White House, this is now, he is fully engaged. And you're going to see,
00:31:04.520 you know, we got Georgia announced for Friday. You got Kentucky for Saturday. You're going to
00:31:09.320 see a full court press, I think you're going to get to multiple, in the run-up to this, I think
00:31:13.860 you're going to get to multiple what I call airport rallies, where you just pull the plane up, boom,
00:31:18.640 he walks off, there's a stage, there's a couple thousand people there in a House district, and
00:31:23.880 he's just, he's unloading. So give me your, you've done this for years and following these,
00:31:29.460 now the White House is very engaged in the political operation, is now getting finally
00:31:34.040 honed on, okay, we know what he wants, we can deliver, and we're going to go around. And the
00:31:38.080 president says hey if i have to fly halfway around the world to go support dan sullivan who needs
00:31:43.940 some support in alaska i'm gonna go if i then need to fly back and get to bullhead city arizona i'll
00:31:50.380 do it if i didn't have to get on a plane and go to kalispell montana for a house seat i'll do it
00:31:55.840 there's nobody on the democrat side that has the clout the the you know you don't see kamala harris
00:32:01.340 out doing this you know obama may slide into michigan to support abdul right because guess
00:32:07.380 what? Black men in Detroit are not going to support him. And he knows it's a problem. That's 0.99
00:32:11.620 why Obama's out. You have Rahm Emanuel, a Chicago guy down in South Carolina, trying to defeat
00:32:19.020 Lindsey Graham's sister. My point is you have these onesies, twosies on the jam, but there's
00:32:23.740 nobody with a national stature that is out there. And who knows how much Newsom can add. And Ossoff
00:32:31.760 is sitting there going, I'm not interested to run for president. I want to win Georgia and win as
00:32:35.140 big as possible. Neil, given all your years of covering these rallies and the White House,
00:32:40.200 talk to me about the convergence of this right now and President Trump being the tip of the spear.
00:32:45.960 I think that, you know, there's that old saying, right? The king and the land are one.
00:32:51.060 And when the king is strong, the land is strong. When Trump is strong, America is strong. And
00:32:57.420 people respond to it and just go back, you know, to when President Joseph R. Biden Jr. was here
00:33:03.560 And in just that burst, when they switched out Kamala Harris, there was a burst for about six
00:33:10.880 weeks with the Harris campaign because people just responded to someone who was cognizant
00:33:16.280 and had a pulse. And with the president, he is out there constantly. And I think it really helps
00:33:23.780 him that Congress is out because if Capitol Hill is empty, there's no distractions here in
00:33:30.160 Washington and he can just focus and just go on the road. And I think, you know, people have
00:33:34.760 problems. You know, it bothered me that they didn't get a lot done. But the fact that if they
00:33:39.700 were here in town, he would just be wrapped around the ankle with what's going on in Congress.
00:33:44.780 And he is out there now and he's sending the message and people are responding. They just
00:33:50.080 need people respond to leadership, right? It's, you know, the great man theory of history. It's
00:33:56.300 like you can read about the cobblers and the farmers and everyone else. But what people care
00:34:00.980 about is the king and he is the king on the road. And I think that's it touches something like
00:34:07.600 deep in our primordial souls. When you see a guy out there who's making the case and saying
00:34:14.380 this is important. In 2018, he focused on the Senate and ignored the House. Now I'm seeing
00:34:21.560 going in for house races. And he understands that you can have coattails down, but you have
00:34:26.500 coattails up. And I think you're going to see some surprises because in New Hampshire and Maine,
00:34:33.520 things are going on there that are going to surprise people. And my last point will be,
00:34:37.860 Steve, that when going and focusing on North Carolina, we were told a week ago that everybody
00:34:42.320 was pulling money out of North Carolina. If he's focusing on North Carolina and making that a fight,
00:34:47.160 The Democrats don't have the resources the Republicans have, and they're going to have to spend on a North Carolina seat that you didn't think they had to spend on.
00:34:56.900 And Texas is just going to suck up more of their money and resources.
00:35:01.220 Part of the breakdown we're going to do with – we'll get Seth Cashel back up and also DeGrasse is that – and we see this expanding map in these incredibly tight House races where they want to try to run the tables.
00:35:14.540 That's their strategy.
00:35:15.520 They don't have the money right now.
00:35:16.880 part of the reason they're saying they're doing is go out and raise additional money. So resources
00:35:20.560 right now for the Democrats, they're having to be strategic. You're absolutely correct.
00:35:24.100 If President Trump can put his shoulder to the wheel in North Carolina in a race that everybody
00:35:29.120 said is over, and then by reinitiating this discussion about Roy Cooper's time as governor,
00:35:35.300 particularly about this criminal situation, this is the exact thing that Trump's perfect for,
00:35:39.240 because he can push this and make it a thing. Anyway, hang on for a second, Neil. You're at
00:35:45.480 the White House. I've got to go through Texas and more in North Carolina with you. I want to
00:35:50.180 introduce Ashley Hayek from America First Works. Ashley, describe your organization. We'll play a
00:35:56.640 clip here in a second, but describe what you guys focus on. Yeah, so in 2024 and now in 2026, we
00:36:03.060 have been on the ground focused on door-to-door communications with our voters, and we recognize
00:36:08.260 that 92 percent of the media is negative against the president. They're not sharing the winds of
00:36:13.240 the administration. So how do we get on the ground early, have these conversations, and then
00:36:17.540 ultimately, with the goal of turning them out, we had around a 70% conversion rate in 2024. But
00:36:23.720 what's interesting in 2026, we are seeing incredibly low turnout so far across the board.
00:36:30.460 So there's no blue wave that's far from happening right now. And to your point earlier,
00:36:36.040 Black American voters, minority voters, young people, they're not showing up for the left.
00:36:42.160 There's a big problem. So these races are going to be a lot closer than what people have said.
00:36:48.120 The media, the legacy swamp media has done their job by trying to depress conservative voters.
00:36:55.000 But we have to share the good news and we have to turn people out.
00:36:57.860 And there's a plan for that. And that's what we're implementing now.
00:37:00.460 OK, Ashley, hi, Jordan. Let's go and play this clip.
00:37:03.280 I don't want to come back to you because I think you guys have nailed something that's very important about the intensity.
00:37:07.860 and what we need to do to close here in the next 2.2 and a half weeks.
00:37:13.440 Let's go ahead and play the clip.
00:37:15.440 I don't know about you, but I'm fed up.
00:37:17.840 On Easter, they mocked our holiest day.
00:37:19.740 They've targeted our faith, our beliefs, and our values. 0.75
00:37:23.800 They have persecuted our churches, going after Latin masses
00:37:27.040 and labeled parents as domestic terrorists just for defending our kids. 0.98
00:37:31.900 Disgusting, radical gender extremism is invading our schools. 0.99
00:37:35.340 They're putting tampons in boys' bathrooms. 0.96
00:37:38.460 And girls' sports are under attack, stripping away fairness and opportunity from our daughters. 0.96
00:37:43.900 It's time to fight back.
00:37:45.600 Christian Visibility matters. 1.00
00:37:47.440 Protect your faith, your values, and your parental rights. 0.96
00:37:50.760 It's time to stand up, and we vote for a future that honors our values.
00:37:54.840 Let's vote on Christian Visibility Day. 0.57
00:37:56.640 so hi we're shifting the flag as we did earlier in the year for a couple of months we're going
00:38:06.140 to go down for the closing weeks to uh to texas and then arizona maybe some nevada um what answer
00:38:13.380 help me out here because in texas particularly people are saying hey the some of the pastors
00:38:18.820 are engaged but some are not engaged they don't really understand uh some people say they don't
00:38:24.360 understand the threat of this Islamic invasion down in Texas, how do we have a clergy? And I
00:38:29.540 realize, you know, as a Catholic, particularly a trad Catholic, the great bulk of the clergy in
00:38:36.240 the Catholic Church is very, very liberal to progressive. But how does, you know, evangelical
00:38:41.900 pastors, how can we have pastors out there that even at this stage in 2026, after everything we've
00:38:49.480 been through for the last 10 years. How can certain pastors not even be informed, much less
00:38:56.340 engaged? How does that work? To the numbers, but a couple of things. First of all, we believe that
00:39:03.820 a lot of faith voters show up because the Supreme Courts are not on the ballot. And we say every
00:39:10.780 two years, it's the most important election cycle and people get burned out. But this election cycle
00:39:14.900 is really about communism. And communism can't allow God above the state. And people forget that.
00:39:21.060 And if you look at every communist regime in history, they went after the churches before
00:39:25.240 it went after anything else. Marx called religion a drug. Lenin called it an enemy. Stalin shot the
00:39:30.460 priests. Communism doesn't exist with God. And if these pastors and priests don't wake up at this
00:39:36.780 point, it replaces God with the state. And that's their end game, is complete and total control.
00:39:42.360 So like I said, if you look at our faith turnout gap, veterans show up, gun owners show up,
00:39:46.060 seniors show up, all those traditional conservative groups show up.
00:39:49.120 The one group that goes missing, especially in a midterm election, is the church, and
00:39:52.340 that has to end this election.
00:39:54.500 So if you think that it's not about the courts, there are still 27 district judges that need
00:40:00.680 to be confirmed by the Senate, Sherrod Brown in Ohio.
00:40:04.200 I'm sure Tallarico is not going to support anybody that the president supports.
00:40:07.360 If they get a hold of the Senate, they're not going to confirm our judges.
00:40:10.580 And then you look at what happened in Congress.
00:40:12.980 They're going to issue those subpoenas. 0.77
00:40:14.620 But 43 percent of Christians stay home in a midterm election.
00:40:18.020 That's half of the church sits out.
00:40:20.380 They don't show up.
00:40:21.800 In 2024, 32 million Americans who go to church every Sunday had no plan to vote.
00:40:28.940 And then just in our target districts for the House that, you know, America First Works is focusing on, 625,000 faith voters voted in 2024 but didn't vote in 2022.
00:40:38.440 I mean, these are like one in 10 people, one in 10 people of faith.
00:40:43.160 If they show up, we win.
00:40:44.780 That's how close these margins are going to be.
00:40:47.120 And when the election is so, so thin, and these races will come down to literally thousands
00:40:52.780 of votes, we cannot afford for people of faith to just stay home.
00:40:58.800 It's an absolutely stunning number.
00:41:01.200 Do we, is, are the people that don't vote, I'm going to hold you through the break, but 0.57
00:41:06.960 the people that don't vote the christians that don't vote is that they just don't want to deal
00:41:12.680 with politics they think that earthly involvement in politics is not right or is it just they're not
00:41:19.240 you know no one's gotten to them i mean what's the reason it my point of that if just a third
00:41:25.680 or 20 percent of that voted we would dominate we pick up seats you pick up 10 seats in the house
00:41:31.420 right it's such a large component it's probably the largest component out there anywhere
00:41:35.900 of any constituency that pretty consistently just doesn't engage.
00:41:41.040 What is the lack of engagement about in your mind?
00:41:44.640 You're exactly right.
00:41:45.640 It is the largest constituency that doesn't show up.
00:41:49.360 Like I said, we actually believe it's because they think the Supreme Court races are not
00:41:54.100 on the ballot like you see in a presidential year, but that's just not the case because
00:41:58.320 you see the district appointments that need to go through the Senate.
00:42:02.080 The Senate still very much matters.
00:42:03.740 And then from the House perspective, I don't think that they remember or maybe they think that it's not going to happen to them.
00:42:09.920 Look what happened at the number of subpoenas that we saw from the House in the previous from 2019 to 2022.
00:42:16.580 And the Democrats had control. They targeted the tax code for churches.
00:42:20.180 They targeted pregnancy centers. They used the Southern Poverty Law Center's list to call these faith organizations hate groups and sent out subpoenas targeting them.
00:42:30.180 So I think that that information is just not getting to those people of faith, and that's our job is to make sure that we do that.
00:42:36.160 If it's half of our church, when you are at church on Sunday, look to your neighbor and say, do you need a ride to the polls?
00:42:42.780 Let me help you.
00:42:43.620 Let's do this together.

00:44:57.280 his team are absolutely terrific. Take advantage of this today. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:45:04.060 that so uh ashley hayek um talk to me about talarico last night in this town hall he had
00:45:13.640 particularly we started the show we have all kinds of clips we just don't have time to play them
00:45:18.560 but we did start with the right to life person the orthodox catholic she referred to herself
00:45:25.100 really having a great i i thought that that retort about yeah what it is actually covered
00:45:30.760 thou shalt not kill in the Ten Commandments.
00:45:35.040 Walk me through, he had some other confrontations too with people. 0.84
00:45:38.880 Walk us through, is the Christian right and the traditional Catholics, 0.95
00:45:43.180 the evangelicals, are they finally getting engaged in seeing what a monster 0.99
00:45:46.360 Talafrico is? We have to amplify it as much as possible. 1.00
00:45:51.020 This is a man who says God is non-binary. Jesus, he called a
00:45:54.700 radical feminist, and he wants to be a U.S. senator. He said having a
00:45:58.520 Bible in the schools would be very immoral. And he uses communist phrases when he was on the floor
00:46:05.680 of the state legislature. One thing when someone had confronted him and said, oh, who's your
00:46:10.320 favorite drag queen? He gave an answer like immediately. I bet if you asked what's your 1.00
00:46:14.960 favorite Bible verse, he wouldn't be able to respond at all. But this is a person who wants
00:46:20.120 to be a United States senator. He's not going to be the one who stands up against any subpoenas
00:46:24.720 that target churches or pro-life individuals or pro-life organizations, he's going to be
00:46:30.420 the one who hopes to sign them.
00:46:31.900 This man is so radical, so far left.
00:46:34.840 I actually had suggested when they said they couldn't find him for those 12 days that he 0.52
00:46:39.600 was off the campaign trail, perhaps they should just send a drag queen to his home and he 0.87
00:46:43.440 would reemerge because that seems to be the constituency that he likes to play to as opposed
00:46:48.580 to the American people and the people of Texas.
00:46:50.960 There's no way Texas can stand for this man or person.
00:46:54.720 this is what you know the even the christians are getting engaged now there's no doubt we're
00:47:00.320 going to talk about some shifting in the polling and the sentiment out there in texas but he has
00:47:06.940 run he he makes his progressive christian faith or what he professes is a christian faith uh he
00:47:14.940 wears it on his sleeve i mean he's never really had a job we can find it except being a legislator
00:47:20.620 he's really a seminary student. So why is it so late in the game when the Christians are actually 0.72
00:47:28.560 getting engaged in this issue with Tallarico, when he's using his professed Christianity
00:47:34.000 as one of his biggest calling cards, ma'am? And for a long time, a lot of the Christian
00:47:40.260 voters, like I said, they've sat out in these midterm elections. They haven't particularly
00:47:44.680 paid attention, but this is the moment to do it, to call it out. And it's not just Tallarico,
00:47:49.180 who's, you know, horrific, but it's also in Michigan with El-Sayed. That is a complete 1.00
00:47:53.940 threat. You know, Kid Rock said it the other night at one of the rallies, we will not be one
00:47:57.920 nation under Mohammed. I'm sure the left laughed at that, but the church should not be. The church 0.98
00:48:02.640 should be engaging because that is, whether it's, you know, putting communism in the state before
00:48:07.240 the people and going after the churches or trying to force Islamism down the American people's
00:48:12.760 throat, that's the path we're on right now. So this is the moment we are seeing trends where 0.88
00:48:17.300 evangelical voters, Catholic voters are starting to engage more. But I think, you know, obviously
00:48:22.480 the primary was long in Texas and folks were, I think, a little frustrated. But at the end of the
00:48:27.740 day, this is such a huge threat to our faith, to our families, to our children. We have to act now.
00:48:35.380 Ashley, hang on for one second. I want to bring Neil in from the White House. Neil,
00:48:39.960 of the many brilliant points, Ashley brings up one that really sticks to landing. And I think
00:48:44.220 people got to understand. She brings up Sherrod Brown. These individuals who are trying to show
00:48:49.820 themselves as moderate so they can fool people are showing their true color. Sherrod Brown says,
00:48:54.980 I will never vote for any nominee that President Trump puts up. People have to understand if they
00:49:00.200 control the Senate, even by one vote, it's pretty, you know, Tallarico, all this crowd, Abdul,
00:49:05.760 Talafrico, Sherrod Brown, and Sherrod, because Sherrod Brown is an old school populist right
00:49:10.460 now he's a crazed left winger but he said the quiet part out loud i am never voting for a trump
00:49:15.360 nominee and ashley's point that all these judge slots that we have they're going to fight a tooth
00:49:21.000 and nail and never approve a really a a trump judge let's we got a couple minutes here uh let's
00:49:27.680 can we put the chart up and get your assessment of this movement in texas i think it's an marist
00:49:33.180 poll is a renowned you know left-leaning poll they're very good pollsters for topics on the
00:49:39.340 left. But this has shocked people, particularly the Democrats in Texas. Walk me through what
00:49:47.340 you're seeing here as a shift in sentiment. Yeah, and I think that when I look at what is
00:49:53.540 not what is said, but why it is said, I really think that Marist went out of its way to push
00:49:59.280 this poll out there to sort of alert people that this is not the cakewalk that they thought it was.
00:50:05.560 paxton is kind of solid but the support for his democratic opponent is slipping and but across
00:50:12.040 the board you're seeing that movement for republicans in texas and i think the president
00:50:17.760 is key to that and i think he's sort of laying down the marker right i'm in this fight now you
00:50:23.680 have to get in this fight and people are responding to it and of course talarico is his own worst
00:50:28.680 enemy i mean really uh you sort of drew the uh the one the lottery when it comes to a challenger
00:50:34.740 yeah you see right there overall you've got the overall sentiment and for the house uh sentiment
00:50:41.380 starting to shift back to of course the the registration differentials finally kicking in
00:50:46.640 you're seeing the sentiment shift right there on the far left column two republicans you've got on
00:50:51.760 the far right column abbott and abbott's got a obviously a pretty significant uh money edge uh
00:50:58.800 that's finally kicked in and uh his opponent who doesn't have tremendous name recognition
00:51:04.220 And Texas, when you look at it politically, it's like a country.
00:51:08.080 It's massive.
00:51:08.700 Huge TV market spread out over a huge geographic area.
00:51:12.720 A name recognition is everything.
00:51:14.080 So Abbott running for, I think, his third term.
00:51:16.720 That's starting to kick in.
00:51:17.940 The Tallarico, according to Marist, is still up four points.
00:51:21.880 But the shift is pretty dramatic.
00:51:24.880 It was more than that.
00:51:25.920 So PAX is getting a thing.
00:51:27.760 Neil, hang on.
00:51:28.300 I'm going to bring you back in as we go through break.
00:51:32.320 We're going to come back. 0.82
00:51:33.120 Ashley's going to stick with us. Ashley Hayek from America First Works. We got Scott Pressler is going to join us.
00:51:39.680 Scott Pressler and folks in Florida. One of the reasons are actually look, there's still house races in play in Florida.
00:51:46.380 The big the governor's race, I think, is actually closer than it should be.
00:51:51.600 But one of the reasons that people from Florida and certain districts that are heavy MAGA have volunteered or are out in Arizona
00:51:59.840 under the Cliff Maloney at Citizens Alliance and the Turning Point USA plan out there
00:52:05.380 is because of the work that Scott Pressler did for years on these voter registrations.
00:52:10.840 Folks, to be blunt, the reason we're actually competitive now
00:52:15.040 and even ability to think about we might be able to hold the House and hold the Senate
00:52:21.520 is because of years of work of you in the audience.
00:52:24.920 The redistricting's right of 22 and 24, 25 and the hour of 25 in the in the in the massive amount of voter registration.
00:52:36.300 People just doing pick and shovel work were amazing.
00:52:38.760 Today's the 15th. You can kick in and I'll start talking about your plan.
00:52:42.940 Chapter's going to be with us later. 845 War Room.
