since the view it seems so much that yesterday that was almost hours schon
00:04:08.820
Good evening, and welcome to War Room Battleground.
00:04:17.220
My name is Jane Zirkle, filling in for political prisoner Steve Bannon.
00:04:22.020
And tonight, we'll be taking War Room Battleground back to its roots of showcasing the grassroots
00:04:26.760
and celebrating the human agency that Steve Bannon has inspired.
00:04:31.980
So what you just saw there was a protest that happened over the weekend took place on the
00:04:35.960
Brooklyn Bridge in New York City as hundreds of Asian New Yorkers expressed outrage over
00:04:41.600
the attempt of New York City to put a homeless shelter in their community.
00:04:46.400
And of course, this isn't just going to be a homeless shelter for homeless Americans,
00:04:50.500
but rather it is going to be turned into a migrant shelter that is plaguing the city and causing
00:05:01.120
He is the president of the New York City Young Republican Club.
00:05:04.200
Gavin, I would like to get your reaction to this weekend's protests and give us some
00:05:08.520
background about this particular event and what's going on with the councilwoman, who
00:05:17.500
And what we're seeing on the scenes you just played in the streets of New York on the Brooklyn
00:05:21.580
Bridge, it's basically just a bubbling up of frustration with the city government, with
00:05:27.460
the state government, with the policies that have been enacted by the one-party rule of this
00:05:32.640
city and state. They have been continuously putting the needs and well-being of illegal
00:05:39.340
migrants over the many needy New Yorkers who are struggling with rising rents, with high
00:05:45.060
costs of living, with crime, and all the other societal ills that Democrat one-party rule
00:05:52.460
So what we've seen recently is that certain districts in the outer boroughs of New York have
00:05:58.540
They've been moving towards Republicans for the first time.
00:06:01.720
We have the largest number of city council members from the Republican Party serving in
00:06:08.640
And that's really because of the failures of City Hall and Albany and their far leftist,
00:06:17.200
And what is the city government doing in response to these shifts in these districts that even
00:06:21.800
Lee Zeldin won are flipping either to be controlled by Republican members of the city council or conservative
00:06:31.240
They're punishing those districts by putting homeless shelters in areas that they know they're
00:06:36.940
So they're not putting these homeless shelters, you know, among many wealthy New York, among
00:06:41.640
neighborhoods where many wealthy New Yorkers live and work who typically vote and donate
00:06:47.660
No, they're putting them in outer borough working class neighborhoods, in this case, Asian-American
00:06:54.180
They're also doing it in other communities, white working class, Hispanic working class,
00:06:59.620
All these areas that are shifting, they're bearing the brunt of these ridiculous policies.
00:07:05.440
It's reached a point where, you know, homeless people on the street are giving better political
00:07:09.980
insight into what's causing this because they want votes.
00:07:12.760
They're bringing in destitute people, many of whom are criminals.
00:07:17.660
They're bringing them into this country because they want votes.
00:07:22.040
New York City has the highest number of homeless people since, I believe, the Great Depression,
00:07:27.040
including many homeless families, homeless children.
00:07:30.440
The homeless shelters are basically like open-air methadone clinics, drugs, crime, raping,
00:07:38.480
You bring this into a community, the entire community sinks with it.
00:07:43.460
Recently, we saw they were converting a high school.
00:07:46.360
They were shutting down a high school in Brooklyn in another district, in Councilwoman Ina Vernikoff's
00:07:51.480
district, and turning it into a temporary migrant shelter because they have nowhere to put these
00:08:07.620
They're focused on giving out debit cards to criminals, letting these criminals walk away scot-free.
00:08:12.080
We saw the incident that happened in Times Square where police officers were attacked
00:08:17.060
by these Venezuelan migrants, these criminal gang members.
00:08:21.880
He gave them the bare minimum sentence, and it was a sentence that would enable them to
00:08:33.420
Well, the sentiment was clear from the protesters who were there over the weekend that they do
00:08:38.300
not want their son or daughter to become the next Lake and Riley.
00:08:42.680
And this is a direct result of, really, Kamala Harris, the point person who was put in charge
00:08:52.700
How do we make this border crisis the dominating headline?
00:08:56.220
Because as Peter Navarro said just a few days ago, when policy is a dominating headline,
00:09:00.600
that's when Republicans and ultimately President Trump wins in the 2024 election.
00:09:05.960
So how do we drill this message down through November?
00:09:11.240
We cannot soften our message going into November.
00:09:14.020
We need to continually message on mass deportations and closing the border.
00:09:20.660
We're on the right side of history, and there are tons of Americans.
00:09:23.760
You saw it in the clips you played in the open.
00:09:27.280
These are not traditional conservative Trump voters.
00:09:30.380
These are people that have just reached their limit.
00:09:33.320
They're sick of our government putting the needs of foreigners ahead of their own veterans,
00:09:38.580
their own homeless veterans, their own homeless families, their own struggling Americans who
00:09:42.400
are dying from opioids, who are dying from crime.
00:09:48.500
They want to see a government that's actually putting their needs first.
00:09:51.520
So if we continue to message on that, we will continue to see massive gains.
00:09:55.140
It's no surprise that President Trump came to the Bronx, of all places, one of the bluest areas in the country,
00:10:01.280
and had 20,000, 25,000 people there lining up to see him in the park to see him, cheering him on.
00:10:07.220
No Republican has ever gotten that kind of reception, not Reagan, nobody.
00:10:11.020
And certainly I don't think any Democrat or Republican, current, past or present, could get that sort of reception because he's speaking to the needs of the people.
00:10:18.700
He's speaking to an issue in a crisis that's completely manufactured by the Beltway.
00:10:22.940
It's completely manufactured by the failed border czar, Harris.
00:10:27.460
And we just need to keep hitting that message home and not soften our image at all.
00:10:31.700
Build the wall, mass deportations, round them up, more funding for border security,
00:10:36.840
more funding for initiatives that are going to find these people, return them home,
00:10:40.920
ending sanctuary city policies, and coming down hard on local officials in New York and elsewhere,
00:10:46.460
cutting off these federal funds so they can no longer play games with the future of our country.
00:10:52.820
Now, Gavin, you are president of a very well-organized grassroots organization, but you're not in a swing state.
00:10:59.200
And one of the main questions that I've been seeing recently is, well, I don't live in a swing state.
00:11:03.680
How can I get involved and really invest my time and energy into the states that are going to ultimately decide this election?
00:11:09.780
Talk to me about how the New York and Republican Club has invested time and energy into swing states,
00:11:16.160
particularly with the phone-baking event that you recently did with Trump Talk.
00:11:22.600
We are not sitting on the sidelines just because we're in deep blue New York City and deep blue New York.
00:11:28.200
I mean, I'll talk about the swing state and the status of New York towards the end of this.
00:11:32.060
But we are activating our 1,200 members, our thousands and thousands of followers and subscribers
00:11:49.520
But it's an experience that's actually meaningful.
00:11:57.800
We're going to be doing this all the way through November with more events, with more organization.
00:12:01.380
If you're in the city, if you're in the tri-state area, you can get involved.
00:12:06.140
But in addition to this, we were on the front lines during the primary and during the general
00:12:10.140
election, sending volunteers up to New Hampshire, sending volunteers down to South Carolina.
00:12:14.820
We will continue to send volunteers, get them to different parts of the country.
00:12:21.880
And frankly, looking at New Jersey right over the river, I'm not a big fan of Jersey, but
00:12:27.480
We'll venture into dirty Jersey and campaign for the president in that state, which appears
00:12:32.960
And looking at New York, polling is tightening.
00:12:37.280
We've had Mark Levine, the absentee borough president of Manhattan, a complete Marxist.
00:12:43.700
He was commenting that they're getting scared about what's happening in New York.
00:12:49.500
President Trump had some fantastic stops here, meeting with union workers, meeting with the
00:12:53.460
bodega leaders, meeting with his supporters and followers in the Bronx.
00:12:57.540
This is a state where I know your next guest, Alex, is going to talk about congressional
00:13:01.680
races that are going to dominate the House, pass through New York.
00:13:11.520
So for all of you who are not in a swing state, you can go to talk.DonaldJTrump.com and phone
00:13:21.720
It'll provide you with a script as to what to say to them, make sure that they are voting
00:13:29.580
Gavin, where can the posse follow you and support the New York Young Republican Club's
00:13:37.660
You can follow me at Gavin Wax on X, Instagram, and all social media, GavinWax.com.
00:13:45.380
And NYYRC, at NYYRC, NYYRC.com, the New York Young Republican Club.
00:13:50.340
We're the largest and oldest Republican club in the country.
00:13:53.260
We are fighting for President Trump in the belly of the beast.
00:13:55.620
Get involved if you're in the metro area, the tri-state area.
00:13:58.240
And also check out the guys behind me, the Center for Fundamental Rights.
00:14:05.200
We just launched Wokebusters to fight the nonsense we're seeing in New York, but also
00:14:10.820
This is an issue that's facing all the countries of Europe.
00:14:12.980
We just saw stabbings in the UK, killing three young girls from migrants there.
00:14:18.800
This is not an isolated incident to the United States or to New York.
00:14:25.680
Migrant crime is running rampant throughout the globe.
00:14:30.780
And that website, once again, is talk.DonaldJTrump.com to make phone calls for President Trump.
00:14:40.460
Alex, give us a rundown on the polling in the battleground states.
00:14:44.920
We know that the polls have been tightening since the Democrats have inserted Kamala Harris.
00:14:54.180
It's great to be here in the war room, and especially an honor sitting in Steve's chair,
00:15:00.000
And as I say always, when I go around the country, everyone's always asking, have we
00:15:07.820
So the poll numbers are certainly tightening, and I think it's important, A, we'd prefer
00:15:14.040
But the reality is, in the Trump campaign that put this out, and I was just on a call with
00:15:17.700
them earlier, is that it's really more so about sort of the structural fundamentals of
00:15:23.120
this race, which is the Kamala bump, you know, the Kamala honeymoon period, that's called.
00:15:28.820
And that's really because of how much media attention she's getting, how much positive, because
00:15:32.880
she's slightly more unknown, and there's certainly a solidification among their base, among Democrats
00:15:39.220
who, you know, maybe didn't support Joe Biden, but have certainly on board with Kamala Harris.
00:15:43.320
So I think this will last a little bit, because you're going to traditionally see for either
00:15:48.120
side, right, when you get a vice presidential pick, you see typically maybe a slight bump
00:15:55.220
And then during the convention, too, which the Democrats are going into, that's sort of
00:16:00.540
And so I think you're going to see a couple, this could drag in for a couple weeks.
00:16:04.480
You're seeing the morning console poll, Bloomberg poll shows the race tide.
00:16:08.540
You've got some races where President Trump, some polls where President Trump is up by two
00:16:12.480
points, some polls that he's down by two points.
00:16:16.760
But the reality is that we can't take our foot off the gas in terms of our volunteer efforts,
00:16:22.380
poll watching, getting out to vote, talking to voters, convincing independents and swing
00:16:27.380
voters to come to our side, because Kamala Harris, of which now President Trump's campaign
00:16:35.800
I don't know if you guys want to play them later, but those are up heavy.
00:16:42.520
It's sort of a frontal effort to define Kamala, which is she's everything Joe Biden was.
00:16:49.660
When you look at her policies before she was the vice president, when she was in California,
00:16:54.040
it's disastrous, it's worse than many people can even imagine, frankly.
00:16:58.340
So once voters are aware of Kamala Harris's position, her own statements, of which are
00:17:03.480
on video, which is included in President Trump's ads, which I love as a strategist, it's always
00:17:12.600
It's, you know, no illegal immigrant, no such thing as illegal, illegal immigrants, right?
00:17:22.520
These are deeply unpopular positions, letting out violent criminals when she was a DA, stuff
00:17:28.940
So voters will be aware, and the polls will sort of come back over to being solidly in
00:17:35.740
But that being said, we can't take anything for granted, of course.
00:17:40.260
Expand a little bit more on the messaging angle.
00:17:43.580
How important is it that we make this election about policy rather than identity politics and
00:17:49.860
how really the policy is what's ultimately going to be a pathway towards victory in November?
00:17:58.360
I think discussions on identity politics are a straw position.
00:18:01.260
I think that's what Democrats would like to bait us into and so that they can talk about
00:18:05.700
cry racism and other things to juice up their base.
00:18:08.420
When you focus on the issues, which Steve would be proud of us talking about, the issue set is
00:18:14.540
That is why the Democrats want to avoid talking about the issues.
00:18:18.160
Although since I've come over to the war room, they just put out their first ad, leans into the
00:18:22.460
border, it's full of lies, because they are bleeding support on the issues.
00:18:26.680
Border, crime, economy, those are the top issues with voters.
00:18:31.680
And when you dig into the polls on the issues, President Trump bleeds by over 20 percentage
00:18:37.060
And so the more focus of all of us at every level as Republicans, as conservatives, talking
00:18:43.000
to voters, talking to swing voters, going to Trump talk, that's super important, going
00:18:46.980
door knocking, is focusing on the fact that President Trump will secure the border on day
00:18:52.220
one, talking about what Kamala Harris has done as vice president and what she will do
00:18:56.840
as president, because that is very toxic, of course.
00:19:00.240
And President Trump, one of the strongest aspects of his campaign is that he has a record
00:19:07.320
And so when you dig deeper into the polling, you actually see maybe some people don't like
00:19:11.300
the way President Trump talks or things like that.
00:19:13.260
But they will at least admit that his policies and his results as president were great.
00:19:18.780
In fact, when you look at job approval, that's one thing.
00:19:21.340
When you—we've started asking this polling question, like, did you approve of President
00:19:26.100
When many people are looking back, that number is very high, much higher than any other metric.
00:19:30.900
And so it's important for us to channel his results and his Trump 47 agenda, which is
00:19:37.240
No one else can speak for President Trump's agenda or position and what he will do in
00:19:43.960
So it's important to focus on the policy issues, to summarize, because the polls are
00:19:49.760
that much stronger for us when we focus on the issues.
00:19:52.460
And that is how we will bring over independents and swing voters.
00:19:55.780
And that is how we will secure this, you know, victory.
00:19:58.600
We're—we are less than 100 days out from this election.
00:20:04.000
How important is it for people to invest their time and energy into the battleground states?
00:20:09.700
And for you as a strategist, do you have a combination of battleground states that you've
00:20:14.400
seen really ultimately producing a victory for President Trump that people should really
00:20:23.300
I think the battleground is expanding thanks to President Trump's strong campaign and support.
00:20:27.920
I think that there's a number of states that are sort of on the peripheral that I know
00:20:31.540
that President Trump's campaign has been publicly speaking about that they're looking into.
00:20:35.860
I think you look at the traditional states that we all know about.
00:20:38.580
So, you know, Arizona, Nevada, you know, Florida, I think, is off the map, but we still need
00:20:45.780
Of course, Georgia, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and then I think Minnesota's in play
00:20:52.300
and the president has—the team has invested resources into that, so that's very important.
00:20:56.840
Obviously, Pennsylvania, and I think there's a—Virginia, which they've invested in heavily.
00:21:01.880
I think New Jersey is being looked at and has been spoken about because, like Gavin said,
00:21:06.000
who's great, by the way, of course, the polls—there's now been three or four independent
00:21:12.240
And so I think that is going to be looked into, certainly New Hampshire.
00:21:16.240
I think New Mexico and Washington are, you know, sort of right outside the margin.
00:21:23.960
I think there's sort of back—everyone's sort of looking at things, how Kamala changes
00:21:28.740
I don't think she changes anything, really, in the long term.
00:21:34.260
And if you're not in a battleground state, of course, or any of those states just mentioned,
00:21:38.240
you've got Senate races, Montana, West Virginia.
00:21:41.900
You've got House races, which are just as important as anything else.
00:21:48.400
And so I think at some point we're going to be going through, like, the 40 target seats
00:21:51.760
that the House is targeting, which are in every state, mostly in California and New York,
00:21:58.340
And so I think it's important that there's so much for people to do.
00:22:01.520
It is so important, whether you're a poll watcher, which is actually the most important thing.
00:22:05.140
And then I would say, you know, talking to voters, getting out, volunteering.
00:22:09.500
But being trained as a poll watcher, www.protectthevote.com, President Trump and the RNC's
00:22:14.940
election integrity effort, is the most important thing.
00:22:17.280
We need eyes on the ballot counting on every front, whether it be early votes, mail ballots,
00:22:23.740
absentee ballots, election day, making sure there's no funny business, and being trained
00:22:27.940
to have—talk to lawyers and get law enforcement involved is critical.
00:22:35.120
Talk to me about the shift of these really key groups, particularly black voters, Hispanic
00:22:40.500
voters, young voters, that we saw move away from Biden towards Trump.
00:22:44.960
Where do those groups stand now with Kamala's candidacy?
00:22:50.400
So there's certainly been a lot of hype on social media, which, you know, I don't understand.
00:22:55.420
I'm not—I don't follow that stuff that closely.
00:22:56.900
But certainly I know people are talking about something to do with brat summer, I'm not
00:23:01.020
But they've got all these memes on the left, which I think is interesting.
00:23:04.100
But we haven't actually seen that translate into votes.
00:23:08.140
And so while there's a lot of chatter online, certainly the fundamentals that we saw with
00:23:14.740
And then CNN had did a big segment on the fact that, hey, they're still not seeing movement
00:23:19.020
and Kamala still underperforms with African-Americans, Hispanics, and young voters.
00:23:24.220
I think young voters are focused on the economy and immigration, just as anyone else, women
00:23:29.920
as well, as well as Hispanics and African-Americans.
00:23:32.400
And I think the segment that you started with, Jane, about the illegal immigrant, migrant, hotel
00:23:40.080
shelters—I mean, people are really upset that there's a double standard, of course, and
00:23:45.720
And Kamala owns that, I mean, not only through her words, but through her actions as vice
00:23:51.200
This is the most open border in the history of our country.
00:23:55.280
And not only that, but they are—we're funding it.
00:23:59.580
In New York State, taxpayers are funding illegal immigration like you have no idea.
00:24:07.180
And if the federal government had any more saying it, they would be doing more so.
00:24:14.760
And the more voters understand that, the more they run away from the Democrat Party, certainly
00:24:19.440
among those demographic groups that you mentioned, Jane.
00:24:23.220
Alex, where can the posse follow you, get involved?
00:24:32.440
I'm at Getter at DeGrass, Truth Social and all that.
00:24:35.400
But it's so important, protectthevote.com to get involved with that effort.
00:24:39.260
And then Trump Talk as well, like Jane mentioned.
00:24:41.040
And those are two critical things that you could do anywhere in the country and at your
00:24:53.500
And then that's talk.DonaldJTrump.com, I believe, for the Trump Talk.
00:25:02.760
We had our first training 100 days out on Sunday and was very successful.
00:25:06.520
Thousands and thousands of poll watchers being trained in key battleground areas.
00:25:12.420
We need boots on the ground all the way through November.
00:25:17.660
Coming up on the other side, we have Seagal Shada, committee woman from Nevada.
00:25:22.780
We know that the Kamala campaign has really invested a lot in Nevada.
00:25:26.840
And we also have Tyler Boyer and Noah Formica from Turning Point Action.
00:25:32.860
Are you tired of progressive corporations that continue to further alienate conservative Americans,
00:25:55.760
all the while eroding the future of the American dream?
00:25:59.720
Companies like Starbucks, Strong Army Customers to Support Abortion,
00:26:04.140
or PayPal canceling accounts over political views,
00:26:07.820
Maybelline making a mockery of women by supporting transgender models,
00:26:11.700
and Bud Light forcing gender ideology on you when all you want is to enjoy a cold beer?
00:26:17.580
But thanks to Public Square, you don't have to fund companies like this any longer.

I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.
00:27:22.880
First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:27:27.400
This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email
00:27:34.900
Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence
00:27:40.300
and New York Times best-selling author, is warning about a coming event
00:27:44.500
that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:27:48.960
In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government
00:27:52.540
will soon expand their powers to track our every move.
00:27:56.360
If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or
00:28:02.060
even vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:28:07.360
I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:28:12.900
Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission
00:28:17.000
to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility
00:28:25.480
Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past.
00:28:33.000
That's RickardsWarRoom.com now to see the video.
00:28:44.480
High-interest credit cards and loans make it nearly impossible to pay off your debt.
00:28:48.800
An insane inflation keeps you stuck paycheck to paycheck.
00:28:56.880
Done with debt has an ingenious new strategy to help you erase your debt faster and easier
00:29:03.520
Done with debt analyzes all the debt options you qualify for.
00:29:12.100
Their skilled staff of negotiators know how to get debt out of your life permanently.
00:29:20.280
Done with debt are the experts in brilliant strategies for eliminating debt.
00:29:24.400
But you need to hurry because some debt solutions are time-sensitive.
00:29:39.120
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth.
00:29:50.220
My name is Jane Zirkle, filling in for political prisoner Steve Bannon.
00:29:54.400
I want to bring in my next guest, Noah Formica, who is the Turning Point Action field rep in
00:30:02.920
Noah, I know you're at the rally right now in Harrisburg.
00:30:12.440
We're here on the scene with Turning Point Action, also our partner, Early Vote Action.
00:30:16.520
Scott Presser is actually just over there registering voters with us.
00:30:19.660
And, you know, we're talking to so many first-time voters, so many people, you know, in their 60s.
00:30:24.860
And we even talked to somebody who is 89, and he needs to register to vote as well.
00:30:29.920
But, I mean, so many people are looking to get mobilized as cycle, and, you know, we're going to do everything we can, you know,
00:30:35.580
not only get them to vote in person, but then get them to vote by mail as well.
00:30:41.360
Noah, you are the field representative for Turning Point Action.
00:30:44.720
Walk us through what your job entails and how others can get involved with Turning Point Action as well to really get boots on the ground.
00:30:54.100
So, what I do in Turning Point Action is I go around registering voters, you know, signing people up to help us chase ballots.
00:31:01.460
And, you know, we have a lot of ballots to chase here in Pennsylvania.
00:31:05.720
I mean, registering voters is fine and all, but, you know, they say 87 percent of those people will make it to the polls.
00:31:12.280
However, there's those people who won't make it to the polls.
00:31:15.080
So, you need to make sure, you know, you not only register them, but make sure they get a mail-in ballot.
00:31:26.440
Pennsylvania is absolutely critical to this election.
00:31:29.940
Give us an outlook on the pathway to victory for Pennsylvania.
00:31:39.160
Like, I can tell you our booths on the ground every single day is doing everything we can to mobilize our voter base.
00:31:44.600
And I just want to read to you guys, like, a few statistics we have.
00:31:48.500
So, I mean, we go to a lot of different places.
00:31:55.000
And the Democrats had a voter registration advantage of 3,000 or 368,641.
00:32:06.440
And now, just this week, we narrowed that lead down another 1,400.
00:32:11.860
So, in just two weeks alone, we chipped off 9,000 off the Democrat voter registration lead here in the state of Pennsylvania.
00:32:18.920
And now, to look back, I mean, if you look at 2022, the Democrats had a voter registration lead of 595,000 voters in the state of Pennsylvania.
00:32:29.840
We chipped off over 200,000 in just two years alone.
00:32:36.280
We're doing it at gun shows, fairs, Trump rallies, and, you know, other places, like Amish markets.
00:32:42.800
I mean, just to name a few, like, I just spent the last 10 days at the York State Fair.
00:32:51.300
And then we were also at the Butler Fair, where we registered 204 people.
00:32:57.060
And then we also went to the, you know, Butler Rally, where we registered 101 people.
00:33:02.760
When you go to Trump rallies, there's a lot of people consistently that aren't voting as well.
00:33:07.180
So, I mean, we're doing everything we can to mobilize them.
00:33:17.420
We go to gun shows in Boxburg, all these swing counties.
00:33:21.120
We even went to the Great American Outdoor Show.
00:33:23.780
I mean, the registered voters, where we registered 349.
00:33:27.860
And now, what's significant is, I mean, there's so many hunters in the state of Pennsylvania.
00:33:32.300
Like, we have 930,000, between 940,000 hunters, where it's 30 to 40 percent that don't vote.
00:33:40.720
Because, I mean, Joe Biden only won Pennsylvania by 80,000 votes.
00:33:52.920
So, I mean, you get them a mail-in ballot, they're going to vote guaranteed.
00:33:56.020
And, I mean, a lot of them feel comfortable to vote that way, because they see it as a protected vote, and nobody will know how they vote.
00:34:07.620
So, I mean, you get them a mail-in ballot, that's another pathway to victory right there.
00:34:12.760
1.5 million people of faith stayed out of the 2020 election.
00:34:19.000
So, I mean, we're targeting all these different groups of people just to make sure they get that ballot in their hand, just to make sure they are registered.
00:34:26.000
Whatever we got to do, I mean, we got to play the game to change the game.
00:34:35.520
Noah, what is your call to action to the Republican Party in Pennsylvania and Republican voters?
00:34:41.700
How can they get out and support your and Turning Point Action's efforts here?
00:34:46.280
Well, what you can do is you can go to tpaction.com, go to our website, sign up to get involved, join one of our great coalitions.
00:34:55.420
We're going to be having ballot-chasing events.
00:34:58.320
And we're doing this in all the different swing states.
00:35:02.960
But, I mean, it's as simple as people just want to register voters.
00:35:06.160
I encourage everybody to register one voter, maybe 10 voters, from now until Election Day.
00:35:15.120
And, you know, if you can't find one person to register, maybe everybody you know is registered, find that one person that does not vote.
00:35:24.460
Whatever you're going to do to lock in that vote, because it's going to come down to such a wireless cycle.
00:35:35.520
Noah, where can the posse follow you and support you in your efforts?
00:35:38.680
So, you can follow me on Twitter or X, whatever they want to call it, at N-F-O-R-M-I-C-A-G-O-P, N-F-O-R-M-I-C-A-G-O-P.
00:35:56.140
And next, I want to bring in Tyler Boyer, who is COO of Turning Point Action.
00:36:03.300
We just saw what's going on there in Pennsylvania.
00:36:07.060
But give us the rundown of how Turning Point Action has taken this on a national stage, and particularly in the battleground states.
00:36:15.720
Well, Jane, you know, my home state, Arizona, just had a wonderful primary election yesterday where we had a lot of conservatives win.
00:36:23.660
Because of the great work of our team, like Noah, that's in Pennsylvania, who are registering thousands of voters.
00:36:30.760
But more importantly, like Noah said, is not just registering them, but then having eyes on them to chase them.
00:36:37.880
The left has been doing this so well in Arizona, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
00:36:45.580
And this is the first real election that we're putting literally hundreds and hundreds of full-time bodies and thousands and thousands of volunteers that are focused on the chase.
00:36:59.540
I flew in the middle of the night to head to Wisconsin to train.
00:37:04.600
We have a class downstairs right now of 30 full-time ballot chasers.
00:37:09.280
We're training, on average, around 30 to 40 full-time people in Arizona and Wisconsin each, every week until the election.
00:37:16.880
We're having hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people who are now protecting their own neighborhood and then doing the work like Noah's doing, which is focusing on organizing volunteers to do ballot chasing at the volunteer level to supplement the full-time people.
00:37:41.200
We've made a lot of contact now with hundreds of people, and we're excited for the results.
00:37:51.200
Now, talk to me about you have two different hubs in Arizona and Wisconsin.
00:37:57.540
What in particular about those two battleground states made Turning Point Action decide to develop the hubs there?
00:38:07.360
So statistically, if you look at Arizona and Wisconsin because of the electoral map, they're two of the most critical states statistically that Trump needs to win in order to win the presidency.
00:38:24.540
That's why we've put so much emphasis and resources into Arizona and Wisconsin.
00:38:29.340
It turns out Arizona and Wisconsin are targeted by the left because there's so much opportunity here for both sides to chase votes.
00:38:39.820
Arizona has a historic early balloting system that's been there for a long time.
00:38:50.720
And so there is just a lot of opportunity in the Phoenix metro area, the Milwaukee Wow area, and that's why we're there.
00:39:01.720
So how have things changed since the Democrat Party has inserted Kamala as a candidate?
00:39:08.180
How has Turning Point Action worked to counteract the amount of money, the amount of grassroots efforts that that campaign has now implemented?
00:39:17.360
Yeah, well, nothing's changed for us because we know that the left knows that they can essentially elect anyone that they want.
00:39:25.580
This is what I call the Fetterman Doctrine, is that they can elect a literal potato if they want to in any state if they chase enough what we call
00:39:36.720
Tyler, I think we're having some technical difficulties.
00:39:57.720
It's like I was saying is they realize that they can elect virtually anyone if they chase enough low propensity ballots.
00:40:06.700
So nothing changes, whether it's Kamala, it could be Joe, it could be literally anyone.
00:40:13.760
Nothing changes because everything is winnable if we chase enough ballots in these key target states that are razor thin margins.
00:40:30.780
So where can the posse get involved with Turning Point Action?
00:40:35.840
How do they become the foot soldiers in this battle?
00:40:40.300
So we have full-time jobs available now in neighborhoods across Arizona, Wisconsin, now in Michigan and Nevada as well.
00:40:52.340
And these are jobs not just people associate Turning Point with young people.
00:40:58.040
So we need everybody to go to tpaction.com slash careers.
00:41:02.180
And you can jump in and become a full-time paid ballot chaser in any one of those states.
00:41:08.180
But you can also go to tpaction.com slash chase and sign up to get involved and to follow along.
00:41:17.820
We'll have volunteer events that we're actually already doing in many of these states and the primaries that occur in practice and run up to September and October when most of these states will be chasing ballots.
00:41:29.960
So it's tpaction.com slash chase to join our chase the vote initiative to volunteer and show up to one of our fun events where we have, in some cases, hundreds of people show up and then we'll go out and chase ballots for one full precinct one day.
00:41:57.980
Keep up the fantastic work with Turning Point Action.
00:42:01.580
I want to bring in our next guest, Seagal Chata of Nevada.
00:42:06.300
Seagal, we were speaking over the weekend and you shared some very alarming information with me about just how badly the Kamala campaign wants to win Nevada.
00:42:16.920
What is going on there with her grassroots effort?
00:42:22.460
Well, they opened up seven new campaign offices here in Nevada.
00:42:29.180
And, you know, listen, just because you open up campaign offices, it's to me that's money out the door.
00:42:36.800
I think one of the greatest learning experiences that we had here from the 2022 and 2020 election season was that campaign offices, they're great.
00:42:51.520
But at the end of the day, anything that you could do in a campaign offices, you could do mobily, especially in this day and age.
00:42:58.700
So I don't know that necessarily the opening of the campaign offices is an indication.
00:43:06.540
But what we do see is we do see this fervor of people signing up that didn't exist when Joe Biden was on the ticket.
00:43:18.300
And we've actually had a head start because nobody was excited when Joe Biden was running.
00:43:26.760
So I'm glad that, you know, we had a head start.
00:43:34.200
We saw that all the way from January through the caucus.
00:43:43.140
What does our grassroots structure look like currently in the state?
00:43:46.900
What really is the pathway for President Trump to win this with grassroots support?
00:43:53.160
So one of the beautiful things that we have here at the Nevada GOP is we partnered up with Turning Point very early on in the game.
00:44:02.800
And Turning Point has been running an amazing operation here in Nevada as far as grassroots.
00:44:09.180
We've got the Trump Force 47, which has been mobilizing grassroots.
00:44:17.300
Before the Trump Force 47 came out here, like I said, we had Turning Point help out with the caucus.
00:44:22.700
They've been on the ground here since late December was when everybody started working out here.
00:44:31.740
And, you know, and that's it's just unbelievable.
00:44:35.560
The difference between the 2024 cycle and the 2022 and 2020 cycle.
00:44:42.000
I think that it took the Republicans a little bit of time to get with the program after mail-in ballots were universally passed here in Nevada.
00:44:56.300
I mean, it's like nothing we've ever seen before here.
00:44:59.140
How do we get as many Republicans as possible out to the polls?
00:45:05.120
Because I know you were mentioning to me over the weekend that there is a number of Nevada Republicans who just aren't voting.
00:45:11.400
So how do we encourage our fellow Republicans to get out there?
00:45:15.540
You know, I think it's a combination of ballot chasing.
00:45:19.600
I think many Republican voters had an issue with the early voting, the concept of early voting, the concept of mail-in ballots.
00:45:30.040
And this is why I'm saying that there is a huge difference because we've educated the voters that, you know, you could have a bad weather day like we had in 2020.
00:45:41.580
Or, I'm sorry, in 2022, where you had a massive snowstorm up north and you had rain and winds here in the south in 2022.
00:45:52.660
So it's so important to educate the voters that it's OK to vote early.
00:46:00.340
So it was just that level of conditioning that it took for them to kind of get with the program.
00:46:07.440
Now, keep in mind that Democrats have been harvesting ballots.
00:46:10.640
I mean, you had Culinary Union here doing this for over a decade, even though it was illegal, but they were doing it for over a decade.
00:46:19.740
And Republicans, it just took that level of educating them and conditioning them that it is OK to do that.
00:46:29.440
So, Gall, where can the posse go to get involved and support the grassroots efforts in Nevada?
00:46:47.060
And they could follow me at Chatter for Nevada.
00:46:52.400
And obviously, I'm going to make a little shameless plug for my friend Tyler and the folks at Turning Point Action,
00:46:58.380
because they really have been doing an amazing job.
00:47:03.060
And they've been an amazing partner to work with here in Nevada.
00:47:06.300
I know they're launching a massive scale effort here in the next few weeks.
00:47:15.900
And I appreciate you coming on and joining me today.
00:47:25.480
You're going to get the free Patriot pillow here for no purchase necessary.
00:47:31.980
And today is the last day for our Giza Dream Sheets.
00:47:46.940
Of course, the twins and foals are less than that.
00:47:55.680
The lowest price in history for the best sheets ever.
00:47:59.720
This is, by the way, this is our real president's favorite product of all the MyPillow products.
00:48:07.140
There's nothing better than these Giza Dream Sheets.
00:48:10.080
If you go to the website, too, and you go down to you see Steve there,
00:48:16.840
These are the political prisoner specials, everybody.
00:48:20.280
So, here you have the War Room exclusive giving up with the flash sale there with the Giza Dream Sheets.
00:48:25.820
There you have the $25 specials, the MyPillows, keep all my employees busy.
00:48:33.800
That's another War Room exclusive for the queen size, $20 more for the king.
00:48:43.020
The closeout and overstock sale, all of our sleepwear and clothing, we're closing it out at 80% off.
00:49:08.640
You're helping my employees, the most attacked company in history.
00:49:15.800
And you're helping them as we're one of their biggest sponsors.
00:49:19.520
And then you're also helping yourself get the best sleep in history.
00:49:23.540
Mike, you are heavily invested with grassroots organization.
00:49:29.760
Give us your assessment of what's going on right now in these critical battleground states.
00:49:37.280
And, you know, I heard the previous guests there, you know, telling everyone, you know,
00:49:40.940
you need to—our president's saying too big to rig it.
00:49:47.880
I will tell you this, that we're using—everything we've done for three and a half years has come down to this.
00:49:53.700
We're so proactive in everything we're doing to protect this election with the cards we're dealt.
00:49:59.420
Over 137 countries do not use electronic machines in their voting.
00:50:06.680
I mean, 100 countries don't use mail-in voting.
00:50:09.480
So here in the U.S., we have the worst election platforms.
00:50:12.380
But we have a system where we're going to tell everybody to do.
00:50:22.480
And then when you go to vote, and if they say you've already voted, you say, no, I have not.
00:50:32.680
And it's a different kind of data that we're going to have that we didn't have before.
00:50:37.380
And it happened all over the place in 2020 and 2022.
00:50:40.900
This is one of the most important things you can do right now.
00:50:44.860
And like I said earlier, let's say you wouldn't be able to vote on election day.
00:50:49.900
You have that mail-in ballot, and you've already got it secured.
00:50:53.320
So if something did come up, you can get that in and vote.
00:50:56.460
But I'll tell you, to save that for game day, and you get in there, and they say you've already voted, it's over.
00:51:04.980
And if you get the Frank Social app, everybody, that's our election app where you can see every county in the country what is going on in your own county, how many people went in and they said that they've already voted.
00:51:22.280
We've got proactive lawsuits going on in every single place in the country, too, a lot of places, not every county.
00:51:29.960
But we've got this in the swing states where we're being proactive.
00:51:33.600
So we know what they're going to try and do, okay?
00:51:37.940
Whatever they throw at us, Mike, I'm confident that we are prepared.
00:51:45.420
Thank you all so much for tuning in to Battleground.
00:51:47.700
You can find me at Jane Zirkle on X, Instagram, and, of course, Getter.
