Sigal Chattah: "Everybody Is Blown Away By NV, The Energy Is Very 2016”
Sigal Chattah from Nevada GOP reported to the WarRoom on Wednesday a surge of energy as the state approaches the elections, noting that “everybody’s been writing about us as a blue state,” but Republicans are making significant gains. As of the latest updates, Republicans lead Democrats by approximately 14,000 votes, a remarkable achievement for the state. Chattah emphasizes the importance of early voting and ballot harvesting, stating, “We have absolutely done a phenomenal job harvesting ballots.”
She identifies economic issues as the primary concern driving voter enthusiasm, pointing out that Nevada has faced a staggering 22% inflation rate, with gas prices lingering around four dollars a gallon. Additionally, Chattah highlights discontent over immigration, stating that voters are frustrated with the implications of policies that impact local resources.
She mentions crossover voting, where Democrats are supporting Trump due to dissatisfaction with current leadership. Addressing the cultural climate, she notes backlash against transgender participation in sports, referring to it as a “fatality of the circumstances.”
Chattah urges everyone to mobilize and vote, encouraging people to reach out and help the cause: “I need 10 phones from every person in Nevada to go to Donald Trump.” Her passionate appeal underscores the urgency of voter engagement in this pivotal moment.
E.J. Antoni: "The Right Solution Would Be To Massively Reduce Government Spending”
Dave Brat and EJ Antoni raised concerns about the U.S. budget deficit and the sustainability of fiscal policies under potential future administrations. Commentators noted that the deficit would grow by an additional $600 billion per year under Harris’s proposed plan. One analyst expressed skepticism, stating, "I think all those are just pipe dreams…those have zero chance of being enacted in my mind.” The underlying worry revolves around whether financial markets will tolerate continuous deficit increases. A key concern is the U.S. International Investment Position, currently at a negative 80% of GDP, translating to over $20 trillion. While reflecting the U.S.’s global economic leadership, this deficit leaves the country "beholden to the kindness of strangers.”
The conversation emphasized the urgent need for fiscal reform, pointing to options like reducing the federal workforce, raising capital gains taxes, and increasing the retirement age to 70. Even if such measures are taken, achieving a primary balance would merely stabilize debt relative to GDP without addressing growing interest costs. Alarmingly, interest payments are now "larger than every single line item, except Social Security.”
E.J. Antoni highlighted the unsustainable path of current monetary policy, noting that "we have been financing multi-trillion dollar deficits on the backs of the American people via inflation.” He argued that the solution lies not in raising taxes but in reducing government spending and growing the economy through deregulation. The discussion concluded with a critique of the Biden administration’s handling of pandemic-era spending, which was replaced with new initiatives instead of expiring. Antoni remarked, "This has been an entirely man-made problem…we don’t have a revenue problem in this country. We have a spending problem.” This sentiment underscored a broader frustration with the current fiscal direction and the burden it places on taxpayers.

Bannon: Kamala Harris’ Negligence on Criminal Justice Reform is Losing Her the Black & Hispanic Vote
Grace Chong recently shared key insights on the War Room regarding Steve Bannon and his stance on current political matters. She emphasized the significance of President Trump’s First Step Act, a law designed to provide second chances for incarcerated individuals, particularly Black and Hispanic men. According to Bannon’s perspective, Kamala Harris’s failure to support the Act will cost her the presidency: “Kamala Harris will lose her bid…by November because of Black and Hispanic men rejecting her candidacy.” He highlighted the importance of family unity and second chances, arguing that thousands should have been released from prison or received reduced sentences.
Chong underscored that the issue goes beyond politics, focusing on the harm caused to families and communities by the administration’s neglect of this policy. Bannon’s position is seen as deeply personal, driven by his concern for those unjustly impacted: "This isn’t about politics. It’s about real life being destroyed.” Chong noted that disillusionment with Harris among Black and Hispanic communities stems from witnessing the damage within their own neighborhoods.
As the 2024 election approaches, Chong urged the War Room’s audience to get involved, emphasizing the need for active participation. She stressed that supporting candidates who prioritize family and community restoration is essential: "We need every single one of you…to make sure your voice is heard.” Chong concluded by celebrating the War Room’s resilience, expressing confidence in its growing strength despite external criticism.

Rep. Dan Bishop Joins WarRoom To Break Down Early Voting Numbers In NC
Congressman Dan Bishop appeared on the War Room to discuss the Republican turnout in North Carolina. He highlighted the strong early voting numbers for Republicans, noting, "Republicans are turning out strongly… even in swing states like North Carolina.” Bishop, now running for Attorney General, emphasized the enthusiasm among conservative voters, attributing it to dissatisfaction with the Biden administration’s policies. He said, "Most people just don’t believe families can stand the cost structure that Biden and Harris have imposed.”
Bishop criticized Kamala Harris, calling her a "catastrophic empty suit” and noting a significant enthusiasm gap among Democratic voters. He shared, "Democrats have an enormous enthusiasm problem,” which he believes could shift the state’s outcome.
The conversation also covered the impact of local churches, with Bishop asserting, "Christian Conservatives understand how jeopardized the country is.” He praised the private sector’s relief efforts in Western North Carolina following a hurricane, contrasting it with what he saw as government underperformance. Bishop concluded by emphasizing his commitment to fighting for conservative values if elected as North Carolina’s Attorney General and aligning with other state attorneys to challenge policies like the Biden administration’s changes to Title IX.
Sam Faddis On American Elites: "We’re Fed Up With Fighting Wars For These Guys”
Sam Faddis and Dave Brat emphasize the parallels between historical and current geopolitical tensions. Just as President Franklin D. Roosevelt faced a rising threat from the Axis powers in the late 1930s, today’s global landscape sees a similar alignment of adversarial nations—China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Faddis questions why this aggressive stance by these countries wasn’t evident four years ago, attributing the change to current U.S. policies. Brat agrees, criticizing the administration for exacerbating tensions instead of defusing them. Both argue for a strategy focused on avoiding conflict, echoing Teddy Roosevelt’s principle of "speaking softly” while maintaining strength. They express concerns about increasing pressure and rhetoric leading to potential conflicts. Faddis remains skeptical of the narrative that conflict is inevitable, highlighting a preference for peace through strategic diplomacy, reminiscent of Trump-era policies that maintained global stability.
