Bradley Thayer Breaks Down The CCP’s Reliance On U.S. Investment For Its Funding

In their conversation on Saturday’s WarRoom, Ben Harnwell and Dr. Bradley Thayer discuss the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) economic struggles and their implications for the United States. Thayer notes that the CCP’s recent plenum, delayed from the previous autumn, signals their uncertainty in addressing dire economic issues. The CCP’s main concern is maintaining U.S. investment and trade flows to sustain their economy. Thayer highlights that the continuation of Trump’s policies, which include economic decoupling from China, poses a significant threat to the CCP. He emphasizes the CCP’s determination to interfere in U.S. elections to prevent Trump from returning to power. The conversation also touches on Taiwan’s strategic importance to the U.S., economically due to its semiconductor production and geostrategically.

Thayer asserts that Trump’s remarks about Taiwan paying for its defense reflect his broader strategy of getting allies to contribute more to their defense. He underscores the need for the U.S. to end its financial support of China through investment and trade, redirecting those resources domestically. Finally, Thayer warns of the CCP’s potential election interference and emphasizes vigilance in safeguarding election integrity.

Todd Bensman: Democrats BLAME Republicans For Busing Migrants Into Blue States

In a discussion, Todd Bensman and Ben Harnwell highlighted a New York Times article about immigration. Bensman suggested that Democrats are shifting the blame for immigration chaos to Republicans, particularly Governor Greg Abbott, for busing migrants to Northern cities. He argued that this narrative aims to portray Republicans as the problem. The conversation then pivoted to Donald Trump’s rhetoric and the media’s portrayal of him as a threat to democracy. Bensman and Harnwell questioned the credibility of this stance, noting the mainstream media’s alignment with the Democratic Party. They emphasized the intelligence of the American public, arguing that voters can see through media narratives. The discussion concluded with Bensman outlining the need for a significant deportation operation to address the recent influx of illegal immigrants and criticizing the media for not fully reporting on the current immigration situation.

Abe Hamadeh Applauds Arizona Courts Requiring Proof Of Citizenship For Voter Registration

Abe Hamadeh appeared on Dave Brat’s show to discuss the ongoing political battles in Arizona and the broader national context. Hamadeh emphasized the need for vigilance and active resistance against those in power, asserting that victories like the recent Ninth Circuit ruling, which mandates proof of citizenship for federal voting rolls, are crucial. He highlighted that without this ruling, non-citizens could vote in federal elections, pointing out that there were 33,000 such voters on the rolls in 2024.

Hamadeh stressed the importance of maintaining election integrity, particularly in Arizona, which has faced significant challenges and disruptions. He warned against complacency and underscored the need for continuous vigilance to safeguard the movement’s progress.

Brat and Hamadeh discussed the broader implications for the Republican Party, with Brat lamenting past failures to deliver on promises such as repealing Obamacare, even when Republicans controlled both houses of Congress and the presidency. Hamadeh offered his insights, advocating for a strong stance on key issues like election integrity, border security, and holding government agencies accountable.

Hamadeh also shared his experience in Arizona, where he has been at the forefront of legal battles to ensure election integrity. He emphasized the need for Republicans to communicate effectively and stand firm on their principles. He noted the Democrats’ success in messaging and urged Republicans to counteract with clear, truthful messaging.

David Barton Discusses President Trump’s “Providential” Head Turn

In a conversation between Dave Brat and David Barton, the discussion centers on whether former President Trump should continue holding outdoor rallies until election day. They delve into the historical and providential aspects of leadership, drawing parallels between Trump’s experiences and those of George Washington, emphasizing how near misses in battle led Washington to believe in a divine purpose for his life. Barton relates this to Trump, suggesting that such experiences might make him more aware of a higher calling and influence his future behavior.

Barton highlights the importance of understanding America’s founding documents, particularly the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, noting their strong ties to religious principles and the Bible. He underscores that the Constitution is rooted in the Declaration’s philosophy, and without acknowledging the divine aspect, the country’s framework would not function properly.

The conversation touches on the role of education in preserving these values. Barton criticizes the current education system for failing to teach fundamental civics and government, resulting in a lack of knowledge among citizens and elected officials. He stresses the need for systemic reform to instill a deeper understanding of America’s foundational principles.

They also discuss the influence of Marxist ideologies and the need for better knowledge to counteract these trends. Barton emphasizes that many of America’s founding ideas are derived from biblical teachings, and understanding these religious roots is crucial for the country’s future.

In conclusion, Barton calls for a revival of these foundational principles, urging the church and citizens to become more knowledgeable about their faith and the country’s founding documents to effectively combat current societal challenges.
