this is what you're fighting for I mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing
00:00:11.500
people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians
00:00:19.260
get total control and total power because this is just like in Arizona this is just like in
00:00:24.720
Georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and
00:00:29.160
misrepresentations that's why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you
00:00:33.080
this is the fight all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground
00:00:39.740
here's your host Stephen K Bannon welcome back to the war room it's Natalie Winters hosting war room
00:00:47.980
battleground today Friday August 9th in the year of our Lord 2024 doing double duty today hot off a
00:00:55.440
very explosive 5 p.m edition of war room talking all things election interference you guys know one
00:01:02.000
of the main ways they do that too is by of course censorship the praetorian guard the censorship
00:01:06.980
industrial complex whatever you want to call it you know when you really drill down I think that
00:01:12.180
the most concerning part of that story is that it's not just NGOs or far left organizations independent of
00:01:18.400
the government carrying out these sweeping actions it's oftentimes being carried out in concert in
00:01:24.580
conjunction with the federal government right they've sort of outsourced not just jobs and
00:01:28.920
manufacturing industry but censorship to these kind of NGOs to skirt around the first amendment but we
00:01:34.780
have a new explosive report that is already in just a few days since it's been up driven some serious
00:01:39.580
action we're joined by the author of it you guys know the foundation for freedom online that's Mike
00:01:44.380
Benz's foundation but Alan Bakar used to be with Breitbart now he's writing wonderful reports for
00:01:49.580
the foundation for freedom online Alan if you want to walk us through this report and we can get on
00:01:54.900
into it on the other side the the positive effects that it's already had yeah so some of you might have
00:02:01.900
seen uh Elon Musk's battle with a group called the global alliance for responsible media or GARM which
00:02:09.500
was essentially a cartel I can say was past tense because they just announced yesterday they're going
00:02:14.320
to be shutting down in response to a lawsuit from from X and from Rumble over their collusive
00:02:20.160
censorship activities now what GARM was was essentially a coalition of virtually the entire
00:02:26.620
advertising industry it was created by an organization called the world federation of advertisers which
00:02:32.240
represents 90 percent of the global advertising market so basically the entire industry banding together
00:02:40.180
to set censorship standards for the entire internet GARM's purpose was to establish what they called a
00:02:45.860
brand safety floor for social media companies and for uh for online news websites essentially saying if
00:02:53.380
you don't follow our guidelines on content if you don't cut out what we call this information what we
00:02:58.100
call hate speech you're not going to see a dime of the world's uh advertising revenue which is an enormous
00:03:05.620
thing to say to social media platforms and to online websites because for almost a decade uh social
00:03:13.220
media platforms have been joined at the hip to the advertising industry that's where they get the vast
00:03:17.060
majority of their revenues so for the advertising industry to band together in one organization and
00:03:22.820
say if you don't follow our guidelines on content our guidelines on speech we're just going to cut off all
00:03:28.820
of our revenue and effectively put you out of business make you make it impossible for you to survive as an
00:03:33.540
online business uh that was just a massive gift to the advocates of censorship and uh we've already
00:03:40.820
seen what they were able to do they cut uh twitter's ad revenue almost in half after elon musk took over
00:03:46.340
the company and uh they were doing it as part of this cartel which brought together all the major global
00:03:53.300
advertising agencies uh multiple brands multiple ad buying agencies all working together and uh they were
00:04:02.500
investigated by the house judiciary committee um on antitrust grants because when an entire industry
00:04:07.940
bands together like that you know there are serious serious questions of competition and it gets even
00:04:12.740
worse than that so what we found you can read our report at the foundation for freedom online um
00:04:19.300
four of the biggest global advertising agencies leading members of gum um receive billions of dollars
00:04:26.900
in u.s taxpayer money your u.s taxpayer money um in government contracts so things like military
00:04:32.740
recruitment ads public health service announcements uh collectively making up billions of dollars either
00:04:39.140
the same agencies the same companies that are pushed for online censorship through gum so once again
00:04:45.700
u.s taxpayers are funding their own censorship is this sort of i think one of the the precursors to the the
00:04:53.220
law fair that we've seen go on against individuals now but can you again as someone who's worked in
00:04:58.500
conservative media breitbart has certainly been been on the receiving end of you know advertiser boycotts
00:05:03.860
how impactful this trend has been in terms of shutting down alternative media
00:05:11.860
oh well it's been devastating to the revenue of any platform that uh that uh wants to provide a
00:05:17.700
platform for free speech any media outlet that wants to prevent a non-establishment point of view
00:05:24.180
um i mentioned already you know with x they saw their revenue fall almost i think maybe even more
00:05:29.220
than half as a result of these advertiser boycotts and uh it wasn't the first time either the advertisers
00:05:34.420
also went after facebook in 2020 because of media or establishment media outrage over facebook not
00:05:41.060
censoring enough trumpists so this has been going on for a long time and gum was sort of how
00:05:46.260
the industry institutionalized this power that they had over social media platforms and over the online
00:05:53.220
news ecosystem um and it's interesting if you look at some of the material obtained by the judiciary
00:05:59.780
committee um you can really see the ideological biases of these advertising agencies this is not
00:06:06.500
some sort of they like to present their uh their stance on online speech as you know a politically
00:06:12.340
neutral concern about brand safety they don't want the advertisements of their brands to appear on
00:06:20.500
next to politically polarizing topics or next to extremist content they always present in very
00:06:25.300
politically neutral terms but if you look at their internal emails which jim jordan and the judiciary
00:06:30.340
committee was able to obtain you can see they're looking for any excuse to um to tell the brands that
00:06:37.140
they advise not to advertise with news websites that they personally dislike you have emails from
00:06:42.340
top advertising executives saying well we hated breitbart so we were looking for any sign that they
00:06:47.780
violated our brand safety guidelines um you know imagine imagine a police officer who decides he really
00:06:53.220
dislikes one person so he's going to watch him 24 7 to see if he jaywalks and every time he jaywalks
00:06:58.740
he's going to have the book thrown at him um it's essentially the same thing they have these brand
00:07:03.220
safety guidelines but they only apply them to the new sites that they dislike and the social media
00:07:07.780
platforms that they dislike and alan can you walk us through just one more time this report these sort
00:07:13.300
of action you guys really i think had a devastating blow to an industry that otherwise as much as it
00:07:19.700
pains me to say it has emerged pretty victorious over platforms like war room sites like breitbart
00:07:25.780
um people like yourself and mike benz yeah and i think i think part of the reason why they've
00:07:31.380
been so successful for so long is because there hasn't been any serious pushback or investigation
00:07:36.180
and i think that's that's now sort of just in the past two weeks we've seen a ton of counter
00:07:40.980
pressure against the uh the advertising industry support for online censorship we've seen the
00:07:45.940
judiciary committee come out with an investigation we saw uh elon musk uh come out with this lawsuit
00:07:51.700
followed by rumble and uh the foundation for freedom online we've been exposing their massive
00:07:56.260
government contracts um which i think is a big problem but the ad if the advertising is going to be
00:08:01.380
politically partisan and clearly the effects of what they've been doing have been politically
00:08:05.220
partisan overwhelmingly hitting websites that are to the right of center and overwhelmingly hitting
00:08:10.660
platforms that support free speech and that progressives don't seem to like very much um they
00:08:16.900
can't i don't think it's possible or it's very at least very risky for them to do that while at the
00:08:20.820
same time being funded by uh by us taxpayers you know of course 50 of them are part of that uh at least
00:08:27.620
50 of them uh have those points of view that the advertising industry has effectively been
00:08:32.260
demonetizing and censoring and alam like i said you guys have been uniquely effective on this issue i
00:08:37.700
know the posse loves mike bends too if people want to follow you stay up to date with your work support
00:08:43.700
the foundation where can they go to do all that i'll just go to the foundation for freedom online
00:08:48.500
dot com you'll see all our reports there about the advertising industry and its role in censorship
00:08:53.540
alam thank you so much for joining us thanks natalie
00:09:00.500
we're joined by steve friend now like i said this friday stretch of war programming is is very
00:09:08.740
spicy and i'm proud to be uh at the helm commanding it steve friend brought to my attention this morning
00:09:15.060
really a concerning development i think on a story that is already concerning at face value having to deal
00:09:20.900
with um the fbi letting illegals into this country just to sort of have a pretext for
00:09:29.060
sounds like i'm talking about january 6th but certain certain narratives can you walk us through
00:09:32.900
the developments while just walk us through this story sure ken and thanks for having me on uh so
00:09:39.220
the fbi was very happy and glad to put out a press release that they had arrested this pakistani
00:09:43.860
national for attempting to assassinate public officials and parenthetically implying that it was
00:09:48.740
it was going to be donald trump but actually reading through the affidavit and some of the
00:09:52.660
reporting that's gone on it's pretty clear that they one ran the playbook which is identify a
00:09:58.180
vulnerable person and then use undercovers and informants to encourage them to do something that
00:10:02.740
they are not predisposed to do and agreed to engage in some sort of terrorist activity or
00:10:07.860
act of violence and then once that entrapment is complete then arrest them and take credit for it
00:10:12.420
but the extra wrinkle today on this case from the pakistani is that the fbi actually facilitated his
00:10:18.980
travel from pakistan to the united states and then sponsored him coming across with customs and border
00:10:24.900
patrol and said that he was a significant public benefit essentially trying to set the narrative
00:10:29.780
that they were investigating him before and that once he came into our shores then they would arrest
00:10:35.300
him but what wound up happening from reading the affidavit is they let him roam free for three months
00:10:40.260
and then proceeded to build this case and looking at the case this was not a sophisticated person
00:10:45.060
he had these illusions of grandeur like he was going to assemble a cohort of 25 people and have
00:10:51.140
all these rallies as as cover while they were doing reconnaissance and they were going to steal
00:10:56.500
sensitive documents and all the time this guy doesn't have the wherewithal uh to uh do
00:11:03.460
operational security where he has people put their phones in a drawer thinking that that's going to
00:11:07.060
be some sort of secure way to communicate in in private and he doesn't have funding so all this
00:11:12.420
is sort of indicating to me that the playbook is well and alive but the extra wrinkle is now that
00:11:16.500
the fbi is willing to import terrorism and put the public at risk and just reminded me a lot of the fast
00:11:22.740
and the furious scandal that we had a decade and a half ago where the government allowed guns to walk
00:11:28.980
knowing that they were being straw purchased so that when they were inevitably used in a crime of violence
00:11:34.100
the government could get credit for seizing those guns back and this is very much the same except
00:11:38.580
the consequences could be far greater and steve when you're when you're going through this again
00:11:43.620
i think it brings up the age-old question that we would always try to answer here in the war room
00:11:47.380
which is is this a result you know of intentional malice or is it incompetence and i think you can kind
00:11:53.940
of see that through line even to the assassination attempt on president donald trump's life i'm just
00:11:59.940
curious your thoughts again you of course were one of the leading fbi whistleblowers but do you think
00:12:05.460
that this is an agency that is plagued you know by by dei hires and just bad ideas and poor policy or
00:12:12.420
is there something with darren beady on in the 5 p.m hour talking about the whole pipe bomb hoax
00:12:16.180
is there something more sinister going on i think it's a combination of both it's not if or it's and
00:12:23.300
all also uh the fbi has a tremendous problem with the uh employees that they bring in they're
00:12:29.860
definitely all in on the dei they're definitely all in on the 30 by 30 initiative which essentially
00:12:35.220
is doing things like uh talking down the need to have physical fitness or job knowledge tests but
00:12:41.140
there is the other element to this where it is on purpose as far as this type of case goes with this
00:12:45.540
pakistani national because the fbi has a quota system it's called integrated program management
00:12:51.460
there is incentive to create these cases because they want to get the check marks they want to
00:12:57.300
be in the gold not just the green and the red and yes there are color schemes for this and then
00:13:01.780
finally it's being pushed by the senior executives because their compensation is tied to hitting these
00:13:07.300
quotas and there's a tremendous demand politically for terrorism in this country and we're very blessed
00:13:12.500
to live in a relatively safe country where the terrorist threat is not what the fbi uh implies that it
00:13:18.180
actually is they're doing that to justify their existence as a bureaucracy which is why they've
00:13:23.140
also evolved the mission of national security from being the century on the wall to homegrown violent
00:13:28.740
extremism domestic violent extremism extremism and now the latest is agave anti-government anti-authority
00:13:36.580
violent extremism which the fbi has defined as someone with a perception of government overreach or
00:13:42.900
negligence so the fbi and cissa put out a joint press release which i would say is a very concerning
00:13:50.740
development there those are two probably the most rogue rogue actors but saying that hey ahead of the
00:13:55.780
election there may be some cyber security attacks and ddos attacks but uh by the power invested in us by
00:14:02.500
the american people we certainly guarantee that it's not going to affect the results of the election it's not
00:14:08.740
going to have any impact on on your vote what do you say to their sort of what i think is this
00:14:15.220
beginning surge of a narrative developing that you know cyber security ahead of of the 2024 election
00:14:22.740
um is something that is weak of course on the heels of the crowd strike attack happening where do you
00:14:26.820
think they're going kind of narrative based um when it comes to election security well i've been
00:14:33.860
concerned about this for a long time i think that the fbi is likely more likely than not to put out
00:14:38.580
some sort of public service announcement and say look we're really concerned about polling locations
00:14:44.260
because of a heightened terrorist threat or a heightened uh threat from russia and we're going
00:14:49.220
to suggest that we move and transition entirely to mail-in ballots especially in places like michigan
00:14:54.900
and pennsylvania and arizona that's always been sort of the cautionary uh warning that i've been giving
00:15:00.260
out there but they're definitely setting this narrative and they're also uh obfuscating from the fact that
00:15:05.300
the fbi's election crimes is not investigating what the people believe that they are the fbi
00:15:10.820
is not investigating election fraud that is very clear there were discussions between the doj and
00:15:15.700
the fbi across the entire field offices across the entire country that i have moles that have told me
00:15:20.900
about they are not looking at voter fraud they're only going to be willing to look at voter intimidation
00:15:25.620
so they give this sort of broad brush and say we investigate election crime and you kind of assign
00:15:30.580
to it what you assume that they mean by that the fbi is not looking at into the sort of fake ballots
00:15:35.380
they're only saying well there could be threats to up so poll workers or there could be a voter
00:15:40.180
intimidation scheme and they're hyping up what they're doing in that regard to imply that they're
00:15:44.340
actually on top of things but they're really not uh policing what i think most americans are very
00:15:49.060
concerned about and that is that there might be some nefarious things going on with the actual
00:15:53.220
election and the tampering of the ballots and steve if people want to follow you get the show
00:15:58.500

00:16:50.660
little fun uh make sure you guys check out home title lock you can go to home title lock dot com
00:16:54.820
use promo code bannon like uh steve friend was telling us the fbi is frankly more concerned not
00:17:00.580
just with their diversity quotas and dei hires but with i would go out and just say rigging the election
00:17:06.740
with fake cyber security events uh like they always have and you got cissa joining them making sure that
00:17:12.420
you patriots can't say what you want on social media we're joined now by john zadrosny of the trump
00:17:21.140
administration worked very closely on a lot of immigration issues john i don't know if you were
00:17:26.580
able to watch our last segment but we were talking about uh the fbi's sort of involvement in bringing
00:17:31.540
in basically suspected terrorists and letting them roam freely um around this this country i'm just
00:17:37.300
curious your thoughts um on just the clear and flagrant national security threats that are being
00:17:44.740
allowed to enter this country as a result of biden regime immigration policy hi natalie thank you so
00:17:50.340
much for having me on yeah um this is something i i generally say whenever i'm talking to people
00:17:55.220
about immigration which is they say gosh this biden administration they're just terrible at
00:17:59.060
immigration enforcement and then i i have to remind them you know politely this isn't a failure on their
00:18:04.500
part this is an engineered result they this has been a three and a half year 15 to 20 million illegal
00:18:10.340
alien voter importation project and so i think a byproduct of that natalie is that they are more
00:18:16.660
than willing to have some percentage of people be bad people to make sure they have a critical mass for
00:18:22.260
the things they're trying to do so for example yeah they'll have some dangerous criminals come in and
00:18:26.180
they'll kill some americans but who cares it's a sunk cost um they'll have some terrorists come in but
00:18:30.900
who cares the sunk cost it's worth it for the greater good as they view it and uh what makes
00:18:36.180
some of these stories recently that much more appalling though is it's not even like they've
00:18:40.980
made any attempt to stop the really bad people like the terrorists from coming in in fact we just
00:18:44.740
learned that the pakistani national that uh apparently was may or may not have been trying to kill
00:18:50.500
politicians in this country was let in with special permission by the people who should be protecting
00:18:54.740
our border so they're not protecting the border they're protecting the joe biden immigration voter
00:18:58.580
importation project and when you say voter importation project i want to get for the
00:19:03.460
audience super granular on that we were sort of tracking this what seems to be developing narrative
00:19:07.860
coming from cnn the mainstream media that voter turnout is going to be so crazy this election
00:19:13.140
cycle not really sure what that's predicated on um but the polls it's going to be bigger than 2020
00:19:19.140
which i think if you look at one of the fatal flaws of the idea that joe biden won in 2020 was that
00:19:23.300
he got what 81 million votes i mean that's unprecedented right that's that's a historical
00:19:27.780
and rather unrealistic plausible right exactly so when you see these inflated vote totals in part
00:19:35.700
because you have this massive influx of you know 10 plus million people right i would think that that's
00:19:40.900
sort of a direct result of that but when you say that they're importing voters are they wanting these
00:19:46.260
individuals to vote as themselves in that they are making it easier for them to sign up to vote or is
00:19:52.260
this they're using them their personas or even as actual physical you know people to use and go
00:19:58.980
after people who you know are dead voters basically or ballots belonging to dead people nursing homes
00:20:04.660
how does it actually work you know this is a good question i think this is one of the things that's
00:20:09.140
largely unanswered i do think they want some of these folks to vote uh i'm i think a lot of we know
00:20:14.020
that some states especially the ones that matter the most like wisconsin like minnesota like michigan
00:20:19.300
they're not taking any any measures to ensure that illegal aliens are not registering to vote
00:20:24.020
especially the large groups that have entered since uh joe biden entered the white house um and
00:20:29.700
i think some of them probably will maybe accidentally you know i'll give some of these
00:20:33.380
people a little bit of credit i'm not saying illegal immigration is okay but some of these people
00:20:37.780
have come from really awful parts of the world so when a government official tells you to sign a
00:20:41.220
form to register to vote you're going to sign a form to register to vote and so i think some of
00:20:45.220
these people may be registering unintentionally i think they don't care if they vote though natalie
00:20:50.340
i think they want those live ballots so they can get some democrat operatives to fill them out and
00:20:54.500
stuff the drop boxes across the country with those ballots um again like almost everyone else in the
00:20:59.700
democrat political universe they're using everyone at pawns here and they just want those live
00:21:03.700
ballots and they're even queuing you up like you said they said that's going to be turnout crazy this
00:21:07.540
year and also i don't know if you caught the department of homeland security's advisory about how
00:21:12.260
there might be result misinformation so some of the returns might be delayed coming out which tells
00:21:17.460
me they're going to need time to you know kick in those extra ballots at three o'clock in the morning
00:21:21.460
again before the results come out so they don't get any grief this time and just curious it seems like
00:21:26.900
immigration was really the cornerstone of the 2016 trump campaign right it was what differentiated
00:21:32.420
him i think from so many of his republican predecessors that may be
00:21:36.420
free free trade and in the foreign policy stuff too but do you think that that message
00:21:41.540
still remains sort of the the top line issue that resonates most strongly with americans and
00:21:47.060
do you think that the campaign needs to either continue to to press on or sort of double down
00:21:52.180
and come back to its its roots focusing on on that issue natalie that would be my personal
00:21:57.940
recommendation yes if you're asking me if i think this is uh one of the most important issues
00:22:02.100
if not the top issue i think the answer is yes and the reason is i can tell you having worked in
00:22:05.700
immigration for about a decade at this point uh immigration is one of those issues that literally
00:22:10.260
touches everything impacts everything if you want to know why inflation sucks it's because we spend
00:22:15.060
so much money and a large chunk of that those federal and state dollars are going to non-citizens
00:22:19.620
including illegal aliens do you want to know why state budgets are breaking and everyone has to spend
00:22:23.860
more money on government it's because of legal immigration if you're wondering why police budgets
00:22:29.540
are stretched thin and americans are being killed in the streets because of illegal immigration
00:22:33.540
it touches everything so i really do think that uh you know i don't know president trump personally but
00:22:38.740
i strongly recommend you start pounding on this again i think this is the this is the topic that
00:22:42.900
touches everything it matters the most to everyone and it will make a difference in the fall it is
00:22:47.700
the thing itself and it's why the administrative state i think has always fought so hard and elements
00:22:52.100
of course within the republican party to prevent any meaningful changes um from happening when you
00:22:57.540
worked in the administration when you were you know in dhs and the surrounding areas that that touched on
00:23:02.100
immigration the the pushback that you saw whether it was the wall the you know muslim ban daca birth
00:23:09.460
rights you name it um those forces how do you think we better tackle them um you know come a a second
00:23:17.620
term again just speaking in your personal capacity but you understand the problem having having been there
00:23:23.780
you know how do you address it oh well natalie without revealing any uh potential strategery for for
00:23:30.100
for a second term engagement one thing is i think the bureaucrats need to be pretty much
00:23:34.900
put on the side and told what to do as opposed to being turned to for recommendations i think
00:23:40.020
and i say this with goodwill i think a lot of us walked in thinking it would be like any
00:23:43.060
other administration and we it took us a little too long to figure out it was knives out by really
00:23:47.380
awful people so i think they need to be sidelined and sidelined quickly um i think conservatives
00:23:52.820
under the president need to make sure the agenda stuff is implemented quickly i we found last time
00:23:57.140
too you can go back and look stuff that was done quickly and early stuck stuff that took a little
00:24:02.260
while to do uh wound up getting gummed up in the courts and then the left delayed as long as they
00:24:07.540
could through the bureaucracy to prevent stuff from happening so uh assertion of authority speed and
00:24:13.860
maybe a little bit of good luck from the lord almighty and a few other sources but uh i think that's
00:24:17.940
what it will take to make some of these things happen and by the way we're really i think it won't
00:24:21.540
take that much longer to deal with the wall and some of those key things up front and americans will see
00:24:25.540
results pretty much quickly john if people want to follow you stay up to date with your analysis
00:24:31.780
your work where can they go to do all that well i don't really have a social media media handle
00:24:36.900
natalie are you are you a luddite i'm a bit of a luddite but i think you know i don't have anything
00:24:42.660
to promote for myself but i i just think people should pay attention to whatever the president's
00:24:46.660
saying and uh you know he's i know he's going to be strong on these messages and uh god willing we'll
00:24:50.900

we really i think had a a historic week in terms of tracking and exposing and really laying out i think
00:25:42.420
a battle plan for how we combat what is the election fraud the rigging that is going to take
00:25:47.380
place uh in the 2024 election we know it's going to happen as much as it's fun to have the happy talk

00:26:11.220
that they ever rebranded the ctcl or the zuckerberg organizations any of these far
00:26:16.980
left dark money ngo type groups they never went away uh maybe they were just having a couple more

those individuals and those appetites and those desires to fundamentally transform and you guys know

all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground with stephen k bannon
00:30:56.020
welcome back to the war room it's natalie winters still holding the fort down here in the war room
00:31:05.780
we're joined by will upton from the national pulse one of my favorite outlets we love rahim here in the
00:31:14.260
war room um but will you have a great new piece up for the national pulse kind of walking the audience
00:31:19.700
through and that's rahim texting me again for some reason i have my phone on do not disturb but he is
00:31:25.380
breaking through the firewall so he's joining us in spirit um but no will he is he's everywhere um
00:31:33.780
but uh someone who's not very good at frankly anything is tim waltz has a horrible economic
00:31:38.340
legacy in minnesota can you walk the audience through um how he's not just a you know cool
00:31:43.460
bumbling idiot type dad but he's someone who really has serious ability to to wreak havoc on the the economy
00:31:50.100
here yeah yes yeah thanks for having me on natalie um so walls basically his governorship in minnesota
00:31:57.380
has seen the state kind of sink to the bottom in terms of actual rankings um for the state economy
00:32:03.940
uh right now uh in terms of the employment rate in the state it's about 0.7 percent is what it grew by
00:32:09.300
in the last year it's 42nd nationwide um net out migration from the state is the sixth highest in the
00:32:15.860
country um for incomes over 200 000 a year um in terms of overall it's the eighth highest um you know
00:32:23.620
this this is a guy who last year he had a 17 billion dollar budget surplus and instead of reinvesting it
00:32:30.340
into the state or you know doing tax cuts he actually raised taxes he enacted a one percent
00:32:35.220
surcharge tax on capital gains um that's driven a lot of businesses and a lot of investors from the state
00:32:41.140
um and we've seen now in terms of its gdp um it's grown about half the rate of the national average
00:32:47.940
um so it's actually i believe 43rd total of the 50 states um overall i mean he's been bad for business
00:32:55.220
he's bad for taxpayers and it's caused a massive outflow of people from the state um and we've seen
00:33:01.060
you know upwards of about 600 million dollars in capital leave the state uh for wisconsin even
00:33:06.260
um and well i think that you know you've worked around campaigns obviously the national polls
00:33:12.100
working under rahim you guys always kind of have insight into what's happening in in dc world um
00:33:17.700
but the sort of current portrayal of tim waltz is someone who's you know cool and we're the weird
00:33:23.060
ones it's an interesting juxtaposition to draw with someone who's extremely radical
00:33:27.220
on gender issues engages in stolen valor and loves the chinese communist party
00:33:31.700
um but it seems like this kind of talk about his truly abysmal economic record is sort of missing
00:33:37.460
from the conversation where do you think we need to go in terms of defining him you know as a vp pick
00:33:43.460
as someone um who like i said has the potential to if you just replicate what he did in minnesota
00:33:50.180
would do real damage here yes i think there's two things to kind of drill down on one is the fact
00:33:56.340
that this is one of the only governors in the country to actually raise taxes when they had a budget
00:34:00.260
surplus uh they're not you know they're not hurting for revenue uh this suggests that he basically
00:34:04.900
really does believe in sort of a radical progressive tax regime uh and wants to punish
00:34:09.220
those that he views as being either too wealthy or too successful uh the other thing is his
00:34:14.260
environmental agenda has actually impacted the economy of the state as well um industrial electrical
00:34:19.540
rates so the electrical rates for for kind of heavy industry uh is 27 higher than the national
00:34:25.300
average uh there's actually a iron foundry that was involved in auto manufacturing in the state
00:34:30.980
called metal technologies incorporated they had to close down their shop um because their their
00:34:37.540
electric bill was too high uh their annual bill i think there was an estimate that came out it was
00:34:41.780
about 1.2 million dollars about 27 of their payroll and will um if people want to follow you guys
00:34:50.660
support the national pulse all the great work that you guys are doing stay up to date with with your
00:34:55.700

polls i was never promoted to junior editor that's right yes yeah i was i don't know what i was in

00:35:29.380
that's pretty good that's pretty i was like 19 so i feel like that's pretty good
00:35:36.740
like i said it's the 6 p.m hour in the war room on friday and i'm off of like
00:35:41.060
six hours every day of claremont institute lecturing so i'm uh a little out of it but
00:35:46.100
we'll update you are always on it just so you guys are at the national pulse
00:35:50.020
people want to or i already asked you that thank you so much for joining us
00:35:53.380
we will see you very much sure now we're joined by someone who you guys the war room posse know
00:36:00.740
very well that is mike davis who in the break was adamant that he needed to go put a tie on i told him
00:36:08.340
it's war room battleground and it's friday you're fine but he insisted that should show you
00:36:13.780
how much he cares about you guys um but mike davis uh there's been a lot of developments on the
00:36:20.580
election front my producer is sending me an article talking about election laws
00:36:24.820
in uh in arizona the rnc kind of pushing to to change those can you walk us through what's what's
00:36:30.660
going on there so the democrats biden and harris democrats have been running their lawfare and
00:36:36.660
election interference against president trump his top aide steve bannon and peter devarro uh sent them to
00:36:42.820
prison his lawyers like john eastman and rudy giuliani and jeff clark his january 6 supporters
00:36:49.940
trump's january 6 supporters we have been fighting that for two years and fighting it very successfully
00:36:55.780
the the left is getting crushed in the supreme court of the united states and the next phase of their
00:37:03.220
lawfare after they tried to bankrupt trump they tried to throw trump in prison for the rest of his life
00:37:10.340
they tried to simply take trump off the ballots right and the supreme court stepped in and stopped
00:37:15.780
them with presidential immunity with the colorado uh 14th amendment case with the fisher case and so
00:37:22.820
what had what have these biden and harris democrats done they have uh they well first of all they
00:37:28.500
underfunded president trump's secret service protection denied many requests for trump's beefed
00:37:34.580
up security by trump's secret service detail these career officials the biden harris administration
00:37:41.060
said no and biden said to put a bullseye on trump's head and look what happened uh so they couldn't
00:37:47.060
bankrupt him they couldn't throw him in prison for life they couldn't throw him off the ballot they
00:37:51.940
couldn't get him killed and so now they're trying to destroy the supreme court of the united states that
00:37:57.380
got in their way and then they're also trying to make it very easy for illegal immigrants to vote in
00:38:04.420
the presidential election and we're seeing that with the case right now in arizona that's there's
00:38:09.300
an emergency petition now before the supreme courts where the the uh elected officials in arizona republican
00:38:18.100
elected officials in arizona are trying to stop this they're trying to stop illegal immigrants from voting
00:38:23.060
and and that's where the article 3 project is going to step up over the next several months in this
00:38:28.900
next battle by this biden kamala lawfare and election interference it's election integrity and it's so
00:38:35.060
important look these lawyers are making great arguments these judges should just follow the law
00:38:41.380
but we saw this with the presidential immunity decision to the supreme court that with with a lot
00:38:45.700
of these judges unfortunately not only do you have to have the law right you have to have the
00:38:49.540
politics right and so you have to make sure that we steal the spines of these republican judges
00:38:56.260
republican lawyers republican election officials and we send fair warning to these democrat judges
00:39:02.260
democrat lawyers democrat election officials that the article 3 project is going to be on this like we
00:39:08.260
were with this uh lawfare against president trump and his top eights his lawyers and his supporters
00:39:13.540
very successfully over over the last two years we're going to be focusing on election integrity like a
00:39:19.220
laser beam over the next three months and just taking a step back on the lawfare front you know i think
00:39:25.860
one of the things that keeps me most up at night is um you know this is what joe biden and kamala harris
00:39:32.020
have done on a regime level knowing that they were up for re-election right so i could only imagine what
00:39:39.060
they would do if they didn't even think that they had to put forth the pretense to the american people
00:39:43.860
um that they don't support lawfare that what's going on is you know fair and even-handed how
00:39:50.340
much worse do you think things would get here and i'm not talking about the economy of the southern
00:39:54.420
border in this instance but just on the lawfare front um should harris win and they truly have have no
00:40:02.100
constraints i would say this and i think people need to listen to this because it's very important
00:40:07.700
if kamala harris becomes president kamala harris she will almost certainly carry the house of
00:40:13.780
representatives with her she will almost certainly keep the senate and these harris democrats will nuke
00:40:21.940
the 60 vote threshold in the senate and they'll lower that down to 50 votes plus the vice president or 51
00:40:29.700
senators and they will pack the supreme court they will add
00:40:33.220
seats to the supreme court and they will appoint left-wing radicals to the supreme court and there
00:40:40.260
goes our country if there goes our god-given rights to speak to worship to associate to protect
00:40:47.700
ourselves if you think the lawfare is bad now just imagine what it would be if there's not a supreme
00:40:52.980
court to stop them it is game over america and i and i'm not saying that hysterically i mean it
00:40:59.220
sincerely kamala harris has been very clear that she is a radical she said that she's a radical and
00:41:05.380
she's been very clear that she supports court packing she said it and just speaking about you
00:41:10.820
know harris's broader record you know i'm just curious i don't know if we've had you on to sort of
00:41:17.220
focus on her and waltz but just in general your assessment on on waltz and harris just that ticket
00:41:24.260
together um what what you think that means for the country i had the displeasure of working with
00:41:31.060
kamala harris on the senate judiciary committee when i was the chief counsel for nominations helping
00:41:35.780
president trump confirm a record number of his judges and she was uh one of the democrats on the
00:41:42.340
committee at the time she was the tip of the spear on the bogus allegations against uh justice brett
00:41:48.980
kavanaugh essentially that he was a gang rapist going back into his teenage years they brought in
00:41:55.060
six bogus claims of sexual assault by then teenager brett kavanaugh that we they were all debunked we
00:42:01.940
investigated every single one of them even christine blasey ford's father uh said to the it was reported
00:42:09.060
that her her father did not believe her this was garbage and this was driven by kamala harris because
00:42:15.460
she is a vicious radical she will step on throats to get ahead it does she doesn't it doesn't matter
00:42:22.820
who got who gets her look what she just did to joe biden she just ran a bloodless coup against her boss
00:42:29.140
to throw him overboard she's not won a single primary vote and yet she's the nominee uh for for
00:42:35.780
the democrats after they just threw out 14 million democrat primary votes to to install kamala harris in
00:42:42.500
a bloodless coup i would say this don't underestimate kamala harris i think she's vicious and i think
00:42:46.900
she's dumb but she does everything she can to win and if she wins the presidency she's going to
00:42:52.500
destroy our country and the way she's going to do that is by packing the supreme court with left-wing
00:42:57.300
radicals and just to sort of link that all together we had a guest on the show yesterday talking about
00:43:03.060
the dark money groups behind a lot of those you know court packing efforts and those are the same
00:43:08.020
people i believe it's actually the comms director of the harris campaign leads or led demand justice
00:43:14.180
which is one of the leading groups behind the supreme court protests going to the justices
00:43:19.540
house when we approach the election though obviously it's important to focus on harris and
00:43:23.860
her record but do you also think it's important to focus on her as a sort of function of the system
00:43:29.860
which is that we're not actually running against harris right we're running against a bunch of
00:43:34.580
dark money groups shady election laws and poor enforcement of those election laws yeah brian
00:43:42.180
fallin is kamala harris's communications director right and look at who kamala harris picks for these
00:43:48.740
leading posts whether it's demand justice is brian fallin who wants to pack the supreme court with
00:43:53.860
radicals picking this goofball minnesota governor tim waltz who wants to make minnesota the child
00:44:02.500
mutilation capital of america where if parents object to sex change surgeries for their kids
00:44:10.340
life-destroying surgeries on their kids that require these surgeries for the rest of their lives
00:44:15.620
hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses for the rest of their lives after they mutilate these
00:44:20.580
kids if these parents object to this this tim waltz wants to advocate that these parents lose custody
00:44:26.420
of their kids that you know he wants abortion up until birth even after birth he doesn't even want
00:44:32.340
to save a baby that's born alive he just wants the baby to to lay on the table and die this guy is a
00:44:38.660
radical nut job he lied about his military service he said he was a combat veteran in iraq or afghanistan
00:44:45.780
wherever he said he went he just he lied he's been lying for many years he is a marxist and flannel clothes
00:44:52.260
marxist and flannel clothes i like that while uh also having the nerve to say that we're weird
00:44:59.380
um mike davis if people want to follow you and get all your weird takes and support the article three
00:45:06.100

00:45:13.140
uh take the genitals i've definitely called you weird before but it wasn't for that
00:45:18.900
exactly i mean it's amazing to me that tim waltz and kamala harris of all people want to call anyone

00:45:55.140
mike davis thank you so much for joining us i was uh remarking on another show that if i were joe biden
00:46:02.980
i'd be very offended that my consultants didn't think uh that i was normal enough enough to launch the you
00:46:09.380
know weird slogan and weird campaign um against the american people obviously it's projection but
00:46:15.060
then i guess if you take a step back and you think about joe biden the showers with the children the
00:46:19.860
you know aiding and abetting terrorists and treasonous entities to uh ink billion dollar deals with your
00:46:26.340
son maybe you don't really have the moral high ground on uh on frankly anything um but the moral ethical
00:46:33.700
high ground certainly is strong not just with birch gold you can go to birchgold.com

00:47:01.860
hi natalie thank you so much for having me on i just want to echo something that mike was saying
00:47:07.060
about the packing of the supreme court and how kamala and mike waltz are severe radicals something
00:47:13.780
that people are really not considering is the fact that our food supply chain is really insecure and
00:47:19.540
these two individuals are very radical on the environment and they're going to be pushing
00:47:26.020
regulations that are going to harm our farmers and ranchers and make it very difficult to make sure
00:47:32.820
that we can put food on the table for people every day so that's something that people are really
00:47:38.180
underestimating that's why i'm out here every single day making sure that you guys have food
00:47:44.500

of course morin posse thank you for hanging with me for for two hours today it's always fun when i get to
00:49:45.300
do the shows back to back but i just want to echo what i think is the the common theme among all of
00:49:51.060
our guests which is that we cannot just sit back and laugh and enjoy the fact that kamala harris though
00:49:57.540
maybe to us in the echo chamber that we live live in comes off as so woefully unlikable and miserable
00:50:03.780
and tim waltz is clearly allied with the chinese communist party any man who's been doing business over
00:50:09.700
there for decades while concurrently serving serving in the national guard uh it seems to be
00:50:15.620
a national security threat there but i digress on that point um if we just sit back and relax victory
00:50:22.500
is not going to happen it is not guaranteed i know this posse is the vanguard the forefront of volunteering
00:50:28.180
and i just have to say um you know i've been at the claremont institute for the last week and this
00:50:32.900
is truly some of the most intellectual bright people in the conservative movement the number
00:50:37.460
one thing and i'm i get chills saying this because it's such an honor to even and host this show the
00:50:42.740
number one thing that every person who knows the show and knows me has said to me is how wonderful you
00:50:48.740
guys are as an audience they say there's no show that i like to do more than war room because there's
00:50:54.980
no show that is more impactful and that's not me that's not steve it's you it's why they're not just
00:51:00.500
coming for people like trump and me and steve and peter they're coming for you because you guys
00:51:05.140
truly have put your shoulder to the wheel and made a difference the prevailing sentiment from every
00:51:10.340
person that i talked to this weekend is that you guys have been responsible for saving the country
00:51:16.180
it certainly has not been any of these people that we've elected or the rnc or any of these fake
00:51:22.100
institutions it's been you guys and you know we don't ever take days off or rest here in the war
00:51:27.060
room but i just i hope you guys know how appreciated you are um throughout this movement
00:51:32.340
and i mean this seriously i know i get the thanks and the appreciation because i host the show but it's
00:51:36.420
not me it's all you guys and i hope you know that your efforts not only are they not going you know
00:51:42.180
unnoticed but they are so truly appreciated so i thank you guys from the bottom of my heart and i will
00:51:47.220
see you back here on monday i want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money in
00:51:53.540
our bank accounts first think back to 9 11 shortly after the government pushed through the patriot act
00:51:59.140
this gave the government power to spy on innocent americans by monitoring our phone and email and
00:52:04.820
tracking our movement across the internet now jim rickards editor of the independent financial
00:52:10.420
newsletter strategic intelligence and new york times best-selling author is warning about a coming
00:52:16.020
event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level in fact some of the guests
00:52:22.500
i've had on the war room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every
00:52:27.860
move if we say the wrong things on social media donate to the wrong causes buy firearms or even vote maga
00:52:35.300
the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts i can't say for sure if this will happen
00:52:41.940
but it's an interesting and dire warning fortunately jim rickards an american patriot and friend of mine has
00:52:48.020
made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the
00:52:54.020
possibility of programmable money watch jim's warning video now before it's censored like i've been in the
00:53:02.180
past go to rickardswarroom.com that's rickardswarroom.com now to see the video he's kills nearly 700 000 americans
00:53:12.740
