Liz Harrington On President Trump And Kamala First Debate
In a conversation between Dave Bratt and Liz Harrington, they reflect on the tragedy of 9/11 and its lasting impact. Harrington notes, “We will never forget what happened that awful day,” and expresses concern that the unity experienced after 9/11 didn’t endure. She draws a parallel to the current political climate, saying, "I think we’re really reaching another 9/11 moment with this election,” emphasizing the need for Americans to unite again.
The discussion shifts to a recent debate, with Bratt criticizing the mainstream media for focusing on “highly charged, political trauma” instead of substantive issues. They also discuss Ukraine, with Bratt pointing out, “Russia can roll over them at any moment they want,” and questioning the U.S. narrative on the war. Harrington concludes by praising Trump’s debate performance, calling it “remarkable” and saying, "President Trump won that debate handedly.”
Hugo Lowell Gives Wake-Up Call To MAGA About “Presence Issue” In Must-Win Battleground States
In a recent discussion, Hugo Lowell, Dave Bratt, and Liz Harrington talked about the Trump campaign’s strategies and the importance of low-propensity voters. Lowell explained that while the campaign’s energy is steady, its presence on the ground is significantly smaller than opponents, particularly in battleground states. "The Trump campaign has fewer formal staffers compared to the Harris campaign,” Lowell noted, highlighting that Trump relies heavily on super PACs for outreach.
Bratt questioned the GOP’s focus on key issues like the economy and immigration, emphasizing how they need to engage with "low-propensity” voters. Harrington added that Trump’s unique appeal could mobilize these voters, especially young, white males and minority communities. She argued, “President Trump is appealing to every American because he’s lived through persecution and delivered results.”
Despite the campaign starting late, both Lowell and Harrington agreed that these voters could be decisive in close races. As Lowell pointed out, “In the last election, 43,000 votes across key states made all the difference.” Harrington emphasized the need for securing election integrity, saying, “We have to ensure it’s fair.”
Rep. Tim Burchett: Failures And Missed Opportunities
In a recent “War Room” discussion, Dave Brat and Congressman Tim Burchett expressed concerns about Congress’s handling of critical issues, mainly focusing on spending and election integrity. Burchett criticized the Senate for not addressing important topics and highlighted the need for enforcement of existing federal laws to prevent illegal voting. He emphasized the success of Tennessee’s election system and suggested using it as a model.
Both discussed the broader issue of government spending, labeling it as the greatest threat to the nation, surpassing external threats like China or Russia. Burchett condemned the continuous cycle of spending without a plan for repayment and criticized both parties for ignoring fiscal responsibility. He also noted that recent debates failed to address the national debt and deficit, reflecting a broader disconnect between political rhetoric and pressing economic issues. The conversation concluded with a call to action, urging citizens to vote and take responsibility for the country’s future.
Carla Sands: There Will Be Democrat Mischief At The Polls During Election Day
In a recent “War Room” discussion, Carla Sands, former Ambassador and current Pennsylvania advocate, joined Dave Brat to discuss key election issues. Sands emphasized the importance of voting early due to potential disruptions on Election Day. She noted a decrease in mail-in ballot requests from Democrats but an increase in their overall requests compared to Republicans. Sands encouraged Pennsylvania voters to use the website swamp the voteusa.com to commit to voting early or by mail.
Sands criticized the mainstream media and Democrats for allegedly attempting to undermine Trump and suppress conservative votes. She urged Republicans to actively participate as poll workers and watchers, highlighting a significant shortfall in Republican volunteers compared to Democrats. Sands also called on Christians to engage more deeply in politics, stressing that current challenges echo historical threats to democratic values. She warned against complacency and urged voters to act decisively to protect religious freedom and constitutional principles, emphasizing that the stakes are high for the nation’s future.
Josh Hammer: Failures From The Debate Moderators And Building Up MAGA
Josh Hammer discussed the SAVE Act and its significant public support, emphasizing its straightforward goal: to ensure that illegal aliens cannot vote in U.S. elections. He criticized any opposition to the act as being in favor of allowing illegal voting, pointing to a recent DOJ indictment involving an illegal alien who fraudulently obtained U.S. passports and voted. Hammer argued that the SAVE Act is essential to maintaining election integrity and called for its inclusion in upcoming funding legislation, suggesting that Democrats might oppose it due to their immigration agenda.
Transitioning to debate commentary, Hammer expressed frustration that key issues, like taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for illegal immigrants, were not more thoroughly addressed in the debate. He criticized Kamala Harris’s position on gender-affirming care, describing it as an extreme policy driven by a far-left agenda. Hammer urged scrutiny of such policies, questioning their alignment with constitutional principles.
Kris Kobach: Debunking The Lies Of Kamala And The Biden/Harris Administration
In a recent conversation, Dave Brat and Chris Kobach delved into the ongoing legal battles and regulatory challenges faced under the Biden administration. Kobach, known for his active role in litigation, highlighted several key cases his team is involved in.
One major area of focus is the student loan forgiveness plan. Kobach’s team has successfully halted the administration’s attempts to implement this plan, which has faced multiple legal challenges. The administration’s repeated efforts to modify the plan have been met with significant legal resistance, reflecting ongoing disputes over the extent of executive power in this area.
Another critical issue is the administration’s reinterpretation of Title IX regulations. Kobach’s team has been at the forefront of fighting against changes that would redefine sex to include gender identity, potentially allowing individuals to access facilities reserved for biological females. The Kansas federal district court has ruled in favor of maintaining traditional Title IX protections, though the case is expected to continue through the appeals process.
Additionally, Kobach is preparing to argue a case in October challenging the administration’s plan to extend healthcare benefits to illegal aliens. He argues that this initiative incentivizes illegal immigration and places an undue burden on taxpayers.
Kobach also expressed frustration with the media’s handling of immigration issues, particularly criticizing the debate format for dismissing concerns about illegal immigration. He emphasized the need for continued legal and political efforts to address these issues and defend state rights against federal overreach.
Bill Federer: Christians Must Stand Up In This Election To Save Our Country
In a discussion between Dave Brat and Bill Federer, the focus was on the responsibilities of Christians in government and societal involvement. Federer emphasized that Christians have duties across three spheres: the nation, the church, and the family. He argued that failing to participate in governance is akin to surrendering sovereignty and consent to wrongdoing. He traced this issue back to historical examples, such as ancient Israel and Greece, to highlight the importance of active civic engagement. Federer criticized the current lack of patriotism and involvement, attributing it to socialist tactics that sever historical connections and reframe educational narratives. He stressed the need for Christians to reclaim their roles and educate future generations to preserve democratic values and avoid the pitfalls of historical declines.
Batya Ungar-Sargon: Relieving Economic Pressure For Americans Through Populist Policies
In a recent discussion, Dave Brat and Batya Ungar-Sargon delved into the current economic climate and its implications for populism and inequality. Brat highlighted a troubling economic trend: while media reports tout strong consumer spending, this facade masks underlying issues. The rise in credit card debt, now at record levels with interest rates averaging 23%, alongside a historically low savings rate, paints a grim picture. He pointed out that this apparent consumer strength is misleading, as the wealth gap widens significantly, with the ultra-rich accumulating vast amounts of wealth compared to the bottom half of the population.
Ungar-Sargon, known for her work on economic inequality, agreed with Brat’s analysis, emphasizing that such disparities foster political and social unrest. She noted that extreme wealth concentration among the elite, contrasted with financial struggles faced by the majority, sets the stage for significant societal upheaval. Ungar-Sargon predicted that if current trends continue, the divide could lead to a class-based revolution, driven by populist movements and increasing discontent among various demographics.
Josh Hammer: Failures From The Debate Moderators And Building Up MAGA
Josh Hammer and Dave Brat discussed the complex dynamics of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with Hammer critiquing media bias and questioning the motivations behind U.S. policy. He argued that the Biden administration’s support for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, despite opposition from Polish officials, benefits Russia and undermines Ukraine. Hammer contrasted this with Trump’s stance, noting that under Trump, Russia did not escalate its aggression in Ukraine. He expressed skepticism about the media’s genuine concern for human lives, suggesting that their focus might be driven by political agendas rather than humanitarian concerns.
