(00:00):
Debate Day in America, Donald TrumpJoe Biden face to face tonight in a

(00:04):
CNN broadcast. A lot of thenetwork's not happy about that. The White
House Correspondence Association has written to CNNsay, hey, you've got to have
us give us access to the studio. We got to We're the White House
correspondents, we get to sit inthere. And the CNN says, oh,
we don't have room for anybody elseexcept CNA. We'll let a couple
of still photographers in eight hundred.Of the other photographers and journalists we're going

(00:28):
to be watching from a feed ina building across the street from the main
studio. This is why it's astrange debate. The debate is different than
whatsoever been held before in recent day. This is a CNN production. It's
not through the Commission on Presidential Debates, which is a nonprofit that usually puts
this together. So it's going tobe interesting to see. Basically, CNN
gets to have its own rules anddo their own thing, and the concern

(00:53):
by the other networks in the WhiteHouse Correspondent says, listen, if something
happens in the debate room, there'sno live audience microphones on the other candidate,
you say, you're going to beturning them off if you want to
when you want. So what ifwe miss a gesture, what if we
miss a side comment? How areyou the only person that gets to cover
what happens there? Well, bothcandidates agreed the CNN would be the master
of the domain here, and thenthey're also saying, listen, what if

(01:17):
there's a medical emergency, something goeswrong there, you're going to have the
exclusive coverage. We have to takeyour word for it that this is what
actually happens. So a lot ofthe networks, the White House Correspondent's not
real happy with the old CNN,but it's pointed out in the story I
find it Yahoo and the AP.CNN needs the boost. Though their audience
is down to about one point eightpercent of the market an average about five

(01:38):
hundred and ninety six thousand people watchthem every night. They trail well behind
Fox News and even now trail behindMSNBC, So they're hoping for this to
be a ratings boost for them.We shall see how it all pans out.
All right, good to have you. We'll talk more about the debate
throughout the course of the morning,But I do want to switch gears if
I may. Let's have hit theright button here and on my screen,
and I can see exactly what Iexactly what I'm doing. I just changed

(02:01):
screens all together. Bramowitz is onthe hotline with me. He's written the
book recently called The Multifront War,Defending America from from Political Islam, China,
Russia, pandemics, and racial strife. Kennabramowitz is on the hotline now,
Ken. Good morning to you,sir. How are you good morning?

(02:23):
Happy to be with you. Letme dive in here. First of
all, I want you to tellabout the book, but before we get
to the book, I want totalk about just kind of the growing conflicts
that seem to be happening around thearound the globe in the last three years.
You got the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as I think we're kind of
fighting a proxy war with Russia throughUkraine and are spending there. You got

(02:44):
Hamas and Israel going at it.You got you got Taiwan under threat of
China. We have a you havethe Russians putting warships and submarines down off
the coast of Cuba. We arein some pretty volatile times, are we
not, Ken Abramowitz, Yeah,that's for sure. And so I call
the current times world War three.It's not like World War one and two,

(03:07):
where the world was over there Europeor the Pacific. World War three,
as I define it is quoting fromthe Beatles song is here, there
and everywhere. So it's overseas,as you mentioned, it's overseas, it's
in Cuba, it's in domestic it'sin our colleges, it's in mainstream media.

(03:30):
So we're fighting on many different levelsagainst all the enemies that you just
highlighted. What recently, you know, Russia's finally they're kind of calling out
of the United States. They recentlybrained blamed the US for an attack on
Crimeum. And my fear is thatif we continue to dabble our hands and

(03:51):
reach deeper and deeper in in partnershipwith Ukraine, and I just wonder,
is there a breaking point with acountry like Russian and Putin it says,
listen, we know what's happening.They're just your proxy, and are we
going to become a target of Russiandirectly? Look, anything can happen when

(04:12):
you get into a situation like this, But basically we have two hut wars
and a simmering war. So we'refighting Russia through Ukraine, We're fighting around
through Israel, and we're fighting taiChina through Taiwan, and we have to
stay strong on all three fronts.We don't have a choice because the bad
guys are all working together. Ifwe show any weakness on any of those

(04:38):
three fronts, the bad guys willpounce on whatever front we declare weakness on.
So basically it's a race whoever hasmore gunpowder is going to win.
This is this is a hut war, and it's a cultural war. We're
also fighting with words. Don't forgetthat. We're not just fighting with bullets

(05:00):
for a narrative of who has theright narrative to attract the eight billion people
in the world. And the badguys are very good at false narratives,
very good at cultural warfare. We'regood at physical warfare, but not very
good at cultural warfare. That's abig deficiency of us. Kennethan Bramowitz is
my guest. He's also the founderof an organization called Savethwest dot com.

(05:21):
I go there, you'll find ittalk about saving Western civilization. From itself.
So we talked about these wars andhotspots around the globe. But then
you also mentioned we're fighting a battleof the university campuses, and I want
to talk about that because we've gotthreats, both foreign and domestic, happening
here that are really looking to teardown what we know as America as it

(05:42):
is now, and they do parallelwell the threat and the indoctrination that happens.
I believe in our university campuses,even our media, we have Pravda
type agencies who are just going tocarry the water for whoever they're in favor
of. We've got war on ourculture right here in our own borders.
Yes, in the cultural war thatwe're fighting within the country has the fingerprints

(06:08):
of all of the bad guys outsideof the country. So whenever I hear
something dumb, I say to myself, who's financing this dumb idea? Is
it the Russians? Is it theChinese? I call them the reds traditional
color for communists? Is it thegreens traditional color for Islam? But I
particularly focus on the Islam myths.The country's imposing Islam on other people that's

(06:30):
around and cutter, or is itthe Blues, the globalists, the United
Nations, the World Economic Forum,the drug cartels. So the fingerprints of
the Reds and Greens and the Bluesare all over the place, and they'reforementing
an internal cultural war in order toweaken us so they can take over the
country. The voice of threat analystKenneth Abramowitz is on the hotline. You've

(06:55):
written the book called the Multifront WarDefending America from Political Islam. I'm China,
Russia, pandemics, and a racialstrife. I think it's interesting that
you put pandemics in that list ofthings we have to defend America against.
Let me let you unpack that partof the subtitle. Okay, great,
Well, I'm monitor seven forms ofwarfare. When people think about war,
they think about bombs, blowing up, kinetic warfare, John Wayne World War

(07:21):
two. But I'm monitor seven formsof warfare. So the seven are physical
or kinetic, chemical, biological,which I'm going to answer in thirty seconds.
We can also fight culturally. Wejust discussed that you can fight with
economics, with lawyers, with demographics, and with cyber Those are the seven

(07:41):
forms of warfare. So to focuson your question for chemical and biological.
China declared war in America through COVIDand killed a million Americans with COVID and
another million Americans with tent to them. So two million people are right now
dead in America because of China,and there's no discussion in society. If
you walk down the street and justtalk to a pedestrian, mister pedestrian,

(08:05):
I'm a professor from something or other. Do you know that China killed two
million Americans in the past ten years? They say, Betty, I had
no idea what you're talking about,bothering me, So there's no awareness.
But if China had blown up Phoenix, just or Denver to pick a city
out of the air, then weknow that we're in a state of war.
So my argument is we're in astate of war in many, many
different ways. It's not you don'tjust watch things blow up. There's many

(08:30):
other ways to fight wars. Thevoice of Kenneth A. Bramowitz. The
name of the book is called TheMultifront War, and your website is called
Savethwest dot com, dedicated to savingWestern civilization from itself. Mister Bramowitz,
help us understand. Obviously, thebook is going to explain a lot of
the great details you're talking about.But what is the future like, what

(08:50):
is our prognosis? What do wehave to change, what do we have
to focus on in order to saveWestern civilization and ultimately America as we know
it. Well, November five iscoming up. It's a very important day,
and we're at a crossroads in ourcountry between traditional American values, which
I call life liberty and pursuit ofhappiness for one hundred percent of people,

(09:13):
versus non traditional American values, whichI call life libery in pursuit that happens
for ten percent of the people.That's basically what the election is all about.
Are we going to have a countryrun by we the people or they
the elites? And so November popswill be a very faithful day, and
I think we the people are goingto take control or retake control over the

(09:35):
country. But that's what the electionis all about. Kathy Brahmowitz, author

of Fort Collins. All right,what else do we have? I just

(12:31):
find this quite interesting, is wehaven't focused a lot on the debate.
A lot of people are paying attention. We had primaries in New York,
which kind of captivated America's attention.Primaries because that's the new center of basically
New York and Washington. Whatever's happeningthere, they assume captivates all of us.
So you had the primary elections alsoin Colorado that we paid attention to.

(12:52):
And now you wake up yesterday andthis morning and there's all these stories
about the debate and people are kindof starting to raise their else. I
have the story from Bloomberg, CNN'sPresidential Debate rules r other TV networks,
So more and more stories are outthere, and it's starting to other networks
maybe out of just pure competition andjealousy, are starting to also wonderwaight,

(13:13):
who chose the moderators here? Becauseagain, usually these debates are put together
by an independent commission, and somepeople would argue that the commission has done
a crappy job at that before.But this was not put together by the
Commission on Presidential Debates. This isa CNN exclusive event. CNN is requiring
anybody that if you even refer toit in your news, are covering you're

(13:37):
supposed to say the CNN presidential Debate. All the promotions, advertisements, TV
listings must refer to it as theCNN presidential Debate. This isn't made for
television event put on by CNN,and CNN is going and that's what the
other networks are now squalking about,going, Wait, so you're really just
trying to drive your ratings? Areyou trying to do a fair product for

(13:58):
the nation. That's what the independentco presidential debate, So it's trying to
do. And so other networks arenow logging some criticism and say, so,
really, a fair and good debatemay not be what you're trying to
You may just be trying to boostyour ratings. And that is what Bloomberg,
AP and other places are starting toreport, just now starting to pay
attention to it and starting to say, how did we get here to where

(14:20):
we have a presidential debate that isbasically made for television special by one network
and one network only. The CNNis mandating that all the other networks that
cover it, you have to havethe CNN logo fully visible. According to
the networks who and the other channelsaren't allowed to cut away from the debate
or air analysis during commercial breaks,you nothing. You run CNN's product if

(14:43):
you're going to run it, oryou run nothing at all. And a
lot of the networks are basically goinghow did we end up here? Even
the White House Correspondence Association is writingthe CNN and saying, hey, this
is not right. You're handling thisall wrong. But they're doing It's a
television it's a ratings grab for CNN, and other networks are starting to ask,
well, how did you end upwith Dana Bash and Jake Tapper.

(15:07):
Usually you have somebody on your networkthat is supposedly independent voice, kind of
the journalist, and Tapper and DanaBash are opinion people. I'm an opinion
guy. I mean, I tryto do the news as best I can
and give you the facts, butI give you both as much as I
can both sides. But I seethe world through a red prism. You
know this, Well, just goback and find what Dana Bash and Jake

(15:28):
Tapper have said about the old DonaldJ. Trump and you realize they see
the world not through the orange prism. They if they're not a big fan
of his, and so other networks, even the networks that are not necessarily
friendly to the Orange guy. Stillthey're raising their eyebrown and say, wait,
you can't do that to us.So this is a this, but
you've put it in the paradigm ofwhat you're watching tonight, and I don't

(15:48):
know how it's going to go.Maybe the best debate ever. It may
suck, I don't know. Butwhat you were watching tonight is CNN taking
a product and they're using it tobuild their own ratings. Now. I
hope that they will do a fairand just debate. I hope it will
not come across as just a partisanhack job. But the other networks are
going, this is not right,this should be. The other networks are

(16:11):
squawking for more journalistic integrity here,and I find that interesting because uralistic integrity
in America for the most part,went out of the window a long time
ago. But there's more and morestory circulating out there as other networks and
the White House Correspondence Association is squawkingabout the debate, the way it's being
handled, the rules of CNN,and just the exclusive nature. They're basically
making this an exclusive news event forCNN, and they want everybody to report

(16:36):
if they can make some News tonightthey're going to be forced to use the
name CNN. And that's where alot of the networks are saying. So
this is not going to be astraight debate. This is more about CNN
getting some eyeballs, building some ratings, and that's why the other networks and
the White House Correspondence Association is squawkingabout this morning. I got to take
a break. Lakey on the radionews Talk six hundred case col. That's
