In this episode of War Room, Stephen Kamb talks about Dave Brat's primary victory over Rep. Eric Cantor and how it changed the trajectory of the entire Republican Party and the future of the country. He also talks about why the Tea Party is more dangerous than Antifa and why we need unity with the Tories.
00:15:11.620Do they rack up there with what the Navy SEALs have deployed against in other parts of the world?
00:15:17.120These guys will fold like a cheap knife, Steve.
00:15:19.860These are the generation that was raised where everybody's a winner, and if somebody hurts your feelings, you can go hide in a safe space, and then they've become Antifa.
00:15:31.500So, you know, these are the guys, they get you going, and then you punch them in the face, and then they want you to get arrested.
00:15:41.660They are weak, and also, believe it or not, college professors are part of Antifa.
00:15:49.760So the college professors that are radicalizing these students and turning them in Antifa, they go out with them at night and put on the black mask and cause chaos.
00:15:59.420So, no, once, if Trump designates them as a terrorist organization and unleashes the FBI, the CIA, the NSA on these people, they're going to fold like a cheap knife.
00:16:14.320But the problem is they've been protected.
00:16:17.080They are the protectees of the Democratic Party.
00:16:20.140They are the protectees of the Democratic mayors, city councilmen, and the colleges.
00:16:32.120I want to bring in Dr. Bradley Thayer.
00:16:33.880You see, the B-roll we're showing you is Portland.
00:16:37.000The president got asked this question the other day about not George Floyd time in Portland, but now in the last couple weeks, and this is about ICE agents.
00:17:05.880It's the use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals, Steve.
00:17:11.280So Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization because it does precisely that, targeting American civilians in pursuit of their ideological goals, which are communism at root.
00:17:24.000And thus, directly targeting our constitutional republic and the political and civil rights of Americans.
00:17:34.160And so it operates, as Tej was alluding, it operates directly, of course.
00:17:39.960It operates through incoordination or through front organizations.
00:17:43.220Tej mentioned Soros, but also Arabella, Tides, Act Blue, and others.
00:17:50.440And it also serves to inspire and motivate young Americans through its culture of terrorism.
00:18:00.960And so when we think about Antifa through the lens of domestic political terrorism, we can see that it serves three major objectives.
00:18:13.040These guys are the shock troops of the left.
00:18:19.220And so it serves as really the way the Red Guards serve for the Bolsheviks or for Mao Zedong or, Steve, as you mentioned, for the brown shirts, the SA for the Nazis.
00:18:31.900These guys are about taking over the streets, physically dominating spaces, and thereby intimidating, coercing Americans in that environment.
00:18:45.560Secondly, and very importantly, they're also the recruiting office.
00:18:50.000And they're the higher education, really, for so many young Americans who are attracted to their culture, to their aims.
00:19:02.740And so they're really a higher – they're a university for street fighters.
00:19:08.020And it's important to keep that in mind in terms of what they train, how they train, and how they deploy their members.
00:19:17.480And then thirdly, it also serves as a shield for politicians, for the media, for businesses, for academics to hide behind, as terrorist organizations always do.
00:19:29.600Steve, I'll take the Irish example, right?
00:19:32.440There was the IRA, provisional IRA, who were the gunmen.
00:20:51.260And so on a daily basis, they're violating America's rights as they seek to undermine our constitutional republic.
00:20:59.420And the political values that Americans have, our political culture, our history, they're seeking to destroy in order to impose their totalitarian aims, right?
00:21:10.340Which is what they seek to do at the end of the day.
00:21:14.100And this is, and if you look at the colleges where most of this is generally out of, you're never again going to have somebody, you know, Ben Shapiro or whoever does these college tours, you're never going to be able to kind of freelance it and engage like Charlie Kirk has.
00:21:29.740You're going to have to have more security.
00:21:31.360They think they've already, in that regard, they've already won, and they know that.
00:21:37.860I want to just go before, we're going to go to break in a second.
00:21:40.080In fascist ideology, in communist ideology, the Bolsheviks, the Chinese Communist Party, the fascists in Italy, in Nazi Germany, this is a central part of, when they say that CIA and FBI are the deep states running a color revolution against the American people,
00:21:59.960a core component of fascist ideology and communist ideology, which all gets to authoritarianism and then a dictatorship, you must have a group like this, right?
00:22:11.880That every time you look, they have the SA or they have the Red Guard or the Bolsheviks have these different groups.
00:22:17.960You have to have, they need to take the streets and they need to have violence.
00:22:22.080Yes, because right now, folks, trust me, there are so many people that are sitting there going, well, Charlie Kirk was the bravest of the brave.
00:23:13.060But the CCP certainly is going to have a hand here as well as other international actors who wish America ill and wish the American people ill as well.
00:23:22.900So when you lift up the rug again, I think we're going to find that there are a lot of ties to the Chinese Communist Party and other international actors
00:23:32.740who are seeking to use this organization, this domestic terrorist organization, as shock troops for the aims that we've discussed this evening in order to weaken the United States,
00:23:49.380undermine the United States, and to do their utmost to destroy us, which is the point of it.
00:23:56.280So we need to recognize the seriousness of this threat.
00:24:01.240I think Tej is right in terms of when the power of the U.S. government is employed against them.
00:24:07.080But we also want to recognize it's also a symptom, really, of a tremendous danger,
00:24:13.700that there are a lot of folks who are opposed to the American way of life, the American Constitution domestically,
00:24:19.940and they're backed up not just by foundations, not just by George Soros and his son,
00:24:26.280but by the Chinese Communist Party and other really bad actors.
00:24:30.800So we've got to keep that in mind, too, when we're thinking through that.
00:24:35.620We shouldn't allow this to exist, and we need to employ the efforts that we have,
00:24:42.740both all the means that we can employ to round this up,
00:24:47.420because this fellow who killed Charlie Kirk, the assassin, Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin,
00:28:58.180It just cannot keep up with that demand.
00:29:00.420I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of being without power, even for a day.
00:29:04.740That's why I got the Grid Doctor 3300 from my Patriot Supply.
00:29:09.380It's a powerful solar generator that runs refrigerators, AC units, medical devices, power tools, anything you need to write out a blackout.
00:29:18.520And right now, for their Christmas in July event, they're including over $1,000 in free survival gear with your generator.
00:29:26.540Including emergency food supply, water filtration, survival tools, and more.
00:33:18.180And if you enable people to behave the way that protesters have and wreck the neighborhood for everyone else, they will come back and wreck it the next night.
00:33:25.780The protest chaos, which began with riots aimed at social justice in 2020, has severely damaged Portland's reputation.
00:33:33.780It's now ranked by the nonpartisan Urban Land Institute as the second-worst place in America to invest.
00:33:39.640With 6.5 million square feet of commercial vacancy, the top 20 office towers have lost 57 percent of their combined value in five years.
00:33:48.140Portland's elected leaders ignored our request for comment about what some are calling the city's death spiral.
00:33:56.900As for those nightly protests, police admitted to us that they have not made a single arrest out there since June 18th.
00:34:04.000Scenes like these unfolding here as Portland's Antifa aggressively protests Trump's immigration policies outside the federal ICE detention facility.
00:34:12.720Protests have turned violent, rock-throwing, smashing windows.
00:34:17.700Federal officers respond with tear gas, flashbangs.
00:34:22.120Some have been arrested, charged with arson, assault.
00:35:28.400Well, I'm not sure I can add a whole lot more to that.
00:35:33.980I mean, it is unbelievable what's happened to that city, and it's absolute chaos.
00:35:39.380You know, it's extremely underreported, first of all.
00:35:41.780I mean, it's nice that Fox did that piece.
00:35:44.660But the siege on that ICE building has been like three months going on for three months.
00:35:48.820You know, it's nearing, you know, a hundred days with no intervention from the feds, you know.
00:35:53.900And they say that the, you know, Trump admin, you know, administration has taken this seriously because, you know, Antifa, you know, directly says that it's ICE agents that are Nazis.
00:36:03.720I mean, the Trump administration needs to take it more seriously, I guess, is my point, because they are literally saying that the ICE agents are Nazi Gestapo and they need to be killed.
00:36:15.760When they start saying that kind of stuff, and after what we just saw with Charlie, we know what they're capable of.
00:36:20.780And we know that a few years ago here in Portland, we had a good man from Patriot Prayer who was murdered and slain in the street as well.
00:36:27.600I mean, we have another gentleman who recently during this ICE protest, Antifa threw gasoline on him and he's got burns, second-degree burns on his body, and they refused to prosecute it.
00:36:38.820They say it's a misdemeanor and they're not prosecuting anybody for throwing gasoline on someone.
00:36:42.800And we know that they're capable of going even further with that, right?
00:36:46.680We've seen where they recently, a gentleman threw gasoline on an elderly couple someplace and actually set them on fire.
00:37:23.240If they're not there to protect the residents, then what are they there for?
00:37:30.280Do you believe that they're organized enough?
00:37:32.720Do you believe as a citizen, and do you think the citizens of Portland would support you, that they are a domestic terrorist, that these Antifa people doing this now for what you said three months solid, are a domestic terrorist organization?
00:37:45.700I believe that they are absolutely, because if you lived in Portland or any of the events that are put on here, they absolutely terrorize people.
00:37:54.620You know, one of the definitions that they have about, you know, an organization like Antifa is whether they're, quote, you know, organized, which means do they have a leadership hierarchy and everything?
00:38:05.080And therefore, since they don't have this leadership hierarchy, nobody's necessarily directly taking orders, then, you know, they're not considered, you know, an organization, right, or a domestic terrorist.
00:38:16.560But they have a communications, you know, they have communications, they have private communication, they have secret communications, they communicate, they bring, they haul people in from out of state, they rent homes and like Airbnb-type homes and then put them in them.
00:38:32.700And obviously, and obviously, they're coordinated. So whether they have a direct traditional hierarchy structure of a, you know, a general, a colonel, and so forth, lieutenants, they do, they have those channels, and they have communication in that same capacity.
00:38:49.480It's just not as formal as we're used to. So therefore, it's, it's as if nobody knows or wants to, you know, you can't put them in the box that you want to say, this is the definition of an organization, you've got your president, your vice president, you've got your COO, your CFO, etc.
00:39:05.260And therefore, they don't want to, I don't understand the fear of it, right? There's like this fear of, of actually just calling them what they are, which is a domestic terrorist organization.
00:39:15.920And just because you can't put a structure on a traditional structure that you're used to, doesn't mean they're not out there terrorizing, right, the state doesn't mean they're not out there terrorizing citizenship.
00:39:25.260I mean, look what's happened. You just saw in that report, how many businesses have left, how many people have been attacked. You know, there's been a few protesters have been arrested for federal crimes, but they all get released, right? It's, it's, yeah, it's disgusting.
00:39:41.900Portland's a pretty liberal, progressive city. Would the citizens support this? Because you see that in the neighborhood they're talking about, it looks like working class people, the woman's coming out screaming, I got to get to sleep, I got to go to work.
00:40:00.400Do you think the citizens would support a bigger crackdown?
00:40:05.120You know, that's a great question. You would think that they would, you know, the last time we had this kind of writing going on, we literally had 180 straight
00:40:11.740nights of rioting in Portland. And people, when I tell them that around the country, they shake their head, go, no, that's not Paul. We didn't hear about that.
00:40:18.680And it's absolutely true. 180 straight nights of rioting. This is at 100 nights, 100 days, whatever, already with this thing with the ICE building. It's, it's horrible.
00:40:27.140And you would think that the people in Portland, right, would, would demand that their police do something about it. But here it is, and they haven't, you know.
00:40:34.760So what is it that makes the, the citizenry of Portland continue to elect the officials that they do, the mayor that they do, the police force, and not want to, not want to, want change? A lot of the people on the outside, I'm just on the periphery of Portland.
00:40:52.300And I've been down there at the federal building. And, you know, when, when ICE has been, or excuse me, when Antifa has been down there attacking people, I've been at other events where the Proud Boys have put something on and I've gone down there and talked with them and met with them and stood in line with them.
00:41:08.900And it's unbelievable to me that the people of Portland specifically won't, won't rise up and say, this is enough. That's what it takes. You know, there's, this whole thing is about, we just have to, all it takes, right, is mass noncompliance.
00:41:24.840All it takes is all of us just sitting there saying, you know, we've had enough of this and we're done. And, and it will go, it will stop. But we're not doing that.
00:41:32.340And the people on the outside of Portland have this mentality of just let, that's what Portland gets and, and let them rot. You know, they want to lose 50% of their businesses. They want to, they want to have this chaos, then vote differently, behave differently.
00:41:44.900But how can you do that when you've got elections that are stolen and corrupt and you've got mail-in voting like we have here in Oregon? You know, we, we were the first state to do it. And before we had mail-in voting here in Oregon, we had a Republican governor about 66% of the time, right? Two thirds of the time, let's say.
00:42:02.340And we haven't had one since. That is not by accident. That is by design. And until we take this thing back, until we take it back, we have, you know, same day voting at the precinct level, hand, you know, hand counted.
00:42:16.520And we can have confidence in our elections. This is never going to stop. But we, the people need to rise up and, and have a, and, and put a stop to this. It's up to us.
00:42:25.860I think you mentioned it earlier, right? The, you know, when nobody's going to come in and rescue us, it's up to us. It's our country. It's our Republic to keep it.
00:42:36.000Yeah. We, we, we are the cavalry. The, the, we don't wait for you. Don't be a homesteader waiting for the cavalry to arrive. You are the cavalry. Last question. I know a lot of the work you're doing gathering eagles out there, you're getting more and more young people involved.
00:42:50.060This event you had, had tremendous support from young people. What is the impact, do you think, sir, on the assassination of Charlie Kirk?
00:42:58.780Well, you know, we had two of the Turning Point people here because there's a college rep, right? And there's a high school rep for Turning Point here in Oregon. And, you know, this tragedy happened, you know, just a couple of days ago.
00:43:11.880So I'm, I know they're having a vigil tonight, by the way I mentioned that of Corbin High School, or excuse me, Corbin College, and Turning Point is putting that on.
00:43:20.760I'm really hopeful that this will give people the, I mean, Charlie was incredibly courageous to sit there on campus like that, to go into the, you know, into the lair of evil and sit there and invite people to have a conversation.
00:43:35.280And I'm, I'm, I'm hopeful that, that that will inspire a lot of, of these college kids, especially to get, to, to get more involved and to be more vocal and to be more bold because we, we've got to get them engaged.
00:43:51.680You know, at some point you and I are, you know, we're going to go silent into that night.
00:43:55.880Well, maybe not so silent, but we're, you know, it comes for, for whom the bell tolls, right?
00:43:59.660But they've got to pick up the torch and we need to be able to hand it off to them.
00:44:03.600We need to reach out to them and educate them and inspire them in the way that Charlie did.
00:44:07.780I don't know what impact it's going to have.
00:44:09.820I'm, I'm very hopeful that it's going to have a positive impact and they're going to rise up and, and take this as a, you know, as a calling.
00:44:20.980Don, social media, where do people go to find out everything you guys are doing to fight the good fight in, in the great state of Oregon, sir?
00:44:29.660You can find me on, on, let's see, on X, of course, it's just non-compliant in the digit one, non-compliant one.
00:44:40.900And you can find me on Telegram at Gideon 300.
