Dick Morris to Newsmax: US Can Deter Putin With 'Total Economic Ruin' (Newsmax/"Eric Bolling The Balance")

By Eric Mack | Thursday, 22 September 2022 09:50 PM EDT

The United States might stop Russia's Vladimir Putin amid threats about potentially using nuclear weapons by isolating them economically, just as the U.S. did in the Cold War, according to presidential adviser Dick Morris on Newsmax.

"The solution here is not political, military, it's economic — just like it was in winning the Cold War," Morris told Thursday's "Eric Bolling The Balance."

"I think the problem is obviously his nuclear threat, and I think that the United States needs to be unambiguous about what we will do if Russia uses nuclear weapons, and I make this point in my book 'The Return,'" Morris added to host Eric Bolling. "Trump has empowered us with tremendous economic leverage over Russia, and we have to use it."

There should be no more talk, and no military threat, just cold and calculated economic isolation, according to Morris.

"I think we can stop it by threatening Russia, not militarily, but with total economic ruin," Morris said. "They would be unable to fund their budget. They'll be unable to run their country. The potential for social revolution would be about 100%, and the United States just needs to stop just saying, 'Don't, don't, don't.'"

Morris was referring there to President Joe Biden's comments to "60 Minutes" on Sunday, issuing a warning against Putin's threat to use nuclear weapons.

Morris credited Trump's foresight on achieving energy independence during his administration, perhaps knowing energy is the No. 1 way Russia funds its government, economy, and war machine.

"We have the capacity thanks to the energy independence that Trump gave us, and the liquefied natural gas capability that he built, to cut Russia off entirely, denying any significant revenue from India or China or anybody else," Morris said.

"Russia cannot sell its oil and gas to India or China, both of which need it, because — while Trump doubled our liquefied natural gas capability so we can just liquefy the gas, put it on a barge, send it off to Europe — Russia doesn't have that, doesn't have the pipeline capacity to send its gas."

Morris outlined the playbook for winning this latest Cold War with Russia without a rattling of sabers.

"Half of Russia's federal budget, the money they get instead of taxes, comes from oil and gas sales, and a third of their economy is from the energy sector," Morris concluded. "And what we need to do is — John Jordan and I wrote a column to this effect — need to say to the Russians: 'We will embargo all shipments of Russian oil and gas to Europe or the United States; we'll kick you out of the United Nations; we'll kick you out of the World Trade Organization; we'll kick you out of the G-7 summit meetings. We will sever diplomatic relations with you, and you'll be totally isolated.'"

Trafalgar Poll: Trump-Backed Laxalt, Lombardo Lead Nevada Incumbents (Newsmax)

By Eric Mack | Thursday, 22 September 2022 08:24 PM EDT

Two Nevada candidates endorsed by former President Donald Trump are leading incumbents for Senate and governor in the latest Trafalgar Group poll.

Both GOP Sen.-nominee Adam Laxalt and GOP Gov.-nominee Joe Lombardo hold leads just outside the poll's margin of error.

Laxalt leads Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., by 4 points (47.1%-43.1%), Libertarian Neil Scott is drawing 2.4% support, while other is drawing 2.9% and there are 4.5% of the likely Nevada voters undecided.

Incumbent Democrat Gov. Steve Sisolak also trails a Trump-backed challenger in law-and-order candidate Joe Lombardo (47.5%-44.5%). Libertarian Brandon Davis draws 3.5%, while other draws 1.9% and there are 2.6% of likely midterm voters undecided.

Laxalt is a key GOP candidate in the hopes to flip the Senate back to a Republican majority after November. Laxalt is hailing his recent polling results on Twitter this week:

"Over the last week, the last 4 polls show us leading @CortezMasto:

Emerson: 42/41

Big Data Poll: 46/44

Trafalgar: 47/43

Data for Progress: 47/46

Our momentum to become the 51st Senate seat isn't slowing down any time soon."

The Trafalgar Group polled 1,086 likely 2022 midterm voters in Nevada, and the results have a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.

Trafalgar Pollster: Polls Will Undercount 'Submerged' MAGA Voters (Newsmax)

By Eric Mack | Thursday, 22 September 2022 07:59 PM EDT

One of the most accurate pollsters in politics is admitting even his Trafalgar Group polling is going to undercount "submerged" MAGA Republican voters in the 2022 midterm election.

"The 2022 Republican turnout will likely be higher than any of the polls or models are showing," Robert C. Cahaly concluded in a series of tweets. "All polls (including ours) will understate the impact of these 'submerged voters.'"

Cahaly noted President Joe Biden's demonization of MAGA Republicans have effectively put the targeted voting bloc into hiding publicly and from pollsters.

"Now that the Biden administration has essentially classified 'MAGA Republicans' as a threat to democracy marshaling federal law enforcement to focus on them," Cahaly wrote on Twitter. "This move has created a new type of voter that will be even harder to poll or even estimate.

"I call this new group 'submerged voters,'" Cahaly added on Twitter. "They aren't putting stickers on their cars, signs in their yards, posting their opinions, or even answering polls.

"At this point I think it's fair to say that Biden's pursuit of and attacks on 'MAGA Republicans' has created an army of voters who will be virtually impossible to poll (even for us) and more difficult still to estimate."

Cahaly has long warned about the silent voters that polls cannot seem to get to, because they are submerged in the population and afraid to express their opinions for fear of reprisal.

"In 2016 Trump supporters were called 'deplorables' and other unflattering names," Cahaly's Twitter thread began. "This was a major contributor to the 'shy Trump voter' phenomenon that 'most' polling missed which resulted in a major loss in public confidence for polling flowing the election."

Cahaly noted that same phenomenon continued into "cancel culture" and made Trump supporters further remain withdrawn from society in 2020; hence, polls still undercounting his support.

"In 2020 people who supported Trump or espoused conservative values out of step with 'Woke' culture found themselves being 'canceled' or 'doxed,'" Calahy wrote. "This led to 'hidden voters' that 'most' polling under counted, therefore Trump support in key battleground states exceeded expectations."

Trafalgar Pollster: Polls Will Undercount 'Submerged' MAGA Voters (Newsmax)

One of the most accurate pollsters in politics is admitting something altogether surprising: Even his Trafalgar Group polling is going to undercount "submerged" MAGA Republican voters in the 2022 midterm election.

Jared Kushner: DeSantis Made 'Political Pawns' of Martha's Vineyard Migrants (Newsmax)

By Jay Clemons | Thursday, 22 September 2022 06:36 PM EDT

Former White House adviser Jared Kushner recently characterized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' role in sending approximately 50 illegal immigrants to the Massachusetts beach community of Martha's Vineyard as "very troubling."

Kushner, who served in the Trump White House and is the son-in-law to former President Donald Trump, said DeSantis' move might have called attention to the immigration problems at the United States-Mexico border, but it still missed the mark with him.

"I personally watch what's happening, and it's very hard to see at the southern border. … We have to remember that these are human beings, they're people, so seeing them being used as political pawns one way or the other is very troubling to me," said Kushner on Tuesday, while appearing on Fox News.

A number of Democratic Party leaders have already spoken out against DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, regarding the Martha's Vineyard incident.

Some questioned the rationale of sending migrants to a small island community, even though Martha's Vineyard boasts of having "sanctuary" city status.

Other Democratic leaders have argued that large sanctuary cities, such as New York City, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., don't have the "infrastructure" to accommodate a surge of unannounced migrants.

"People don't talk enough about the fact that these people are lured into these journeys by the [human] coyotes, they're paying a lot of money," said Kushner. "I think 80% of women are sexually assaulted along the way. They come into America, they don't have papers, many of them are exploited … so it’s a very sad situation."

Kushner then added: "Under President Trump, we had the lowest border crossings in history when he turned over the administration. The border was secure. It was very safe."

The above statement pertains more to President Joe Biden, and the post-Trump White House policies with the southern border.

DeSantis criticism aside, Kushner hopes the latest problems at the border — in terms of U.S. officials encountering 150,000-plus illegal crossings for 17 consecutive months — will reignite talks of finishing President Trump's border wall, which extends from Texas to California.

A finished wall would "prevent a lot of death and prevent a lot of sexual exploitation," reasons Kushner.

Melania Trump has taken aim at her former friend and advisor by accusing her of spitefully editing a recorded conversation from her time as First Lady.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Melania called out Stephanie Wolkoff for secretly recording several of their conversations.

Trump accused Wolkoff of editing one of the recorded conversations in order to create the perception that Christmas was not significant to her. Melania noted that Wolkoff deleted part of their conversation, where they spoke about reuniting migrant parents with their children, in order to give the idea that she was more concerned about discussing Christmas decorations in the summer.
Melania called Wolkoff untrustworthy. She pointed out that Wolkoff was terminated by the First Lady’s office back in 2018.

Former President Trump appeared to suggest that the documents seized by the FBI during the Mar-a-Lago raid were declassified.

In an interview with FOX News on Wednesday, Trump said that there does not need to be a process for declassification. He added that a president can declassify documents by simply saying so. Trump asserted he had nothing to hide when taking the documents from the White House. The 45th President also noted that he was cooperating with the National Archives until the FBI searched his home.
Trump proceeded to refer to the Archives as a radical group.

“There doesn’t have to be a process. There can be a process but there doesn’t have to be. You’re the president, you make that decision,” Trump said. “So, when you send it, it’s declassified. I declassified everything. Now I declassified things, and we were having a lot of problems with NARA (National Archives and Records Administration). You know, NARA is a group of radical left people running that thing and when you send documents over there, I would say that there’s a very good chance that a lot of those documents will never be seen again.”

During the interview, Trump also announced that the General Services Administration (GSA), along with some staffers, were involved with the packing of the boxes that were taken from the White House.

Fetterman's Hometown Paper: Release Medical Records (Newsmax)

By Jack Gournell | Thursday, 22 September 2022 04:53 PM EDT

Pennsylvania's Democrat Senate candidate John Fetterman should release his medical records, the editorial board of his hometown newspaper said Wednesday.

Fetterman, who faces Republican Mehmet Oz in November, suffered a stroke earlier this year. His doctor said he suffers from atrial fibrillation, or Afib, a condition in which the heart beats irregularly, and cardiomyopathy, which makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body.

Fetterman initially downplayed the seriousness of the stroke, but later admitted, "I almost died" from not following his doctor's advice when first diagnosed.

Oz, a celebrity doctor with a syndicated TV show who is endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has questioned Fetterman's fitness for office since the stroke, noting he had taken a long time to return to the campaign trail.

Even now that Fetterman has returned to campaigning, his staff admits he still has audio-related cognitive issues from the stroke. He has put off debating Oz until Oct. 25, after many mail-in ballots have been cast.

The Wednesday editorial in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette notes Fetterman's argument that the date is close to the traditional time of such debates, but adds, "That was before the days of mail-in voting. The [Fetterman] campaign also argues more than 80% of votes tend to be cast in the last two weeks, but that leaves nearly one in five voters out of the loop.

"Further delays in scheduling a debate between U.S. Senate candidates John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz have raised more questions about Mr. Fetterman's health, including his ability to communicate and process information," the board writes. "He has increased his public appearances, but his speech remains halting, and he repeats key phrases like mantras."

To reassure the public, the board says "Mr. Fetterman ought to release the full results of his cognitive tests and other medical records, and make his doctors available to the media. Mr. Oz should release his medical records, too."

Voters "don't expect a perfect performance from Mr. Fetterman," the editorial continues, noting that voters "understand he is still recovering from a serious medical condition" and will "cut him some slack, if he's transparent about his health."

After much debate over a debate date, Fetterman requested aid because of his ongoing auditory issues. The Oz campaign agreed, but countered that the debate should be extended from 60 minutes to 90 minutes to make up for the time it would take to translate the questions for Fetterman.

Fetterman's campaign so far has rejected the time extension.

Facebook Pondering Whether to Unban Trump With 'Great Caution' Meta headquarters in Menlo Park, California. (Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)

By Luca Cacciatore | Thursday, 22 September 2022 04:34 PM EDT

Facebook's parent company Meta is currently deliberating whether it will unban former President Donald Trump from its platforms with "great caution," an interview confirmed.

Nick Clegg, the current Meta president for global affairs, told Semafor on Thursday that he will ultimately be the one to decide, first talking to experts and weighing real-world effects before making a final decision.

"It's not a capricious decision. We will look at the signals related to real-world harm to make a decision whether at the two-year point – which is early January next year – whether Trump gets reinstated to the platform," Clegg stated.

"We'll talk to the experts, we'll talk to third parties, we will try to assess what we think the implications will be of bringing Trump back onto the platform," he added.

The top executive also said he would consult with CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Meta's board of directors, emphasizing, "When you make a decision that affects the public realm, you need to act with great caution."

Clegg first hinted at Meta allowing the former president back on its service in June 2021, when he stated that the company would evaluate whether the "risk to public safety" of restoring Trump's account had ceased.

Now, Trump could find his way back on Facebook products as soon as January of next year after being previously kicked off in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021 riot.

Trump is still banned from YouTube and Twitter, with the former indicating a greater willingness to allow him back on sooner rather than later, comments made last year indicated.

Angelo Carusone, head of the liberal group Media Matters, condemned Clegg's willingness to unban the former president in a recent statement, writing that "Facebook has every intention of restoring Donald Trump's account."

"Clegg could have easily noted that Trump's active promotion of QAnon and continued attempts to overturn the 2020 election would not only be a violation of Facebook's policies but is certainly an indicator of real-world harms that make it unlikely the platform will restore his account," Carusone said.

"Instead, he indicated that, as when Trump was active on the platform, Facebook remains unwilling to apply or enforce its own rules against Trump."

Special Master: Trump's Lawyers Must Say Whether FBI Planted Evidence

(Newsmax/"Rob Schmitt Tonight")

By Solange Reyner | Thursday, 22 September 2022 04:02 PM EDT

The special master appointed to review thousands of documents seized at Donald Trump's home in Florida on Thursday told Trump's legal team to declare once and for all whether they really think the FBI planted evidence during its search, as the former president has alleged.

Raymond Dearie also granted Trump's legal team four weeks to complete a privilege review of the files, according to a court filing in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of Florida.

"No later than September 30, 2022, Plaintiff shall submit a declaration or affidavit that includes each of the following factual matters: a. A list of any specific items set forth in the Detailed Property Inventory that Plaintiff asserts were not seized from the Premises on August 8, 2022," Dearie wrote in the filing.

"B. A list of any specific items set forth in the Detailed Property Inventory that Plaintiff asserts were seized from the Premises on August 8, 2022, but as to which Plaintiff asserts that the Detailed Property Inventory's description of contents or location within the Premises where the item was found is incorrect. c. A detailed list and description of any item that Plaintiff asserts was seized from the Premises on August 8, 2022, but is not listed in the Detailed Property Inventory.”

Trump earned a legal win in court last week when Judge Aileen Cannon selected one of Trump's special master nominees to review the documents. The former president, though, is on the hook for costs associated with Dearie's work.

Dearie, a semi-retired federal judge, on Thursday also said he wouldn't seek extra pay for work but asked that a magistrate judge assigned to help him get $500 an hour.

He also mapped out a schedule for his review, including a Friday deadline for Trump and the government to agree to a vendor who will handle the documents electronically and a Monday deadline for the government to make the documents available electronically. Dearie said he hopes to complete his review by Nov. 30.

Biden's Approval Up 3 Points in Battleground States (Newsmax)

By Sandy Fitzgerald | Thursday, 22 September 2022 03:12 PM EDT

President Joe Biden's overall approval rating has improved in the battleground states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, but voters say in a new poll they disagree with how he's handling the economy and a few other issues.

The survey from Unite the Country, a super PAC aligned with Biden and provided to NBC News, showed Biden's approval rating went from 42% in May to 45% in September among the 1,500 likely voters polled.

Meanwhile, the poll showed that the favorability for former President Donald Trump dropped from 44% to 39% in September.

By the numbers:

• 56% said they approve of Biden's handling of COVID.
• 50% approve of Biden's handling of the war in Ukraine.
• Voters were split over his response to abortion and reproductive rights.
• 54% said they disapprove of Biden's handling on the economy and jobs.
• 51% disapproved of Biden concerning healthcare.
• 57% disapproved of his handling of crime and public safety.
• 60% did not approve of how he handles immigration, the national debt and inflation.

Meanwhile, many voters said they approve of the legislative wins the administration has scored, including 82% finding it is somewhat or very important for him to sign legislation on Medicare and lowered prescription drug charges.

Further, almost 80% said they believe Biden's actions on crime and supporting the police are important, as well as his work to revamp infrastructure.

The poll also questioned how voters plan to vote for the Senate in November, with 52% in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin saying they'd vote for the Democrat and 48% for the Republican.

The poll was conducted from Sept. 14-19 and had a margin of error of 2.5% at a 95% confidence interval.

NSA Hackers Allegedly Gained Access to Chinese Infrastructure (Newsmax)

By Eric Mack | Thursday, 22 September 2022 01:53 PM EDT

Chinese state media is claiming the National Security Agency hacked the email systems of a prominent public research university in China, gaining access to China's telecommunications network in an effort to control Chinese infrastructure.

The NSA reportedly accessed the systems at Northwestern Polytechnical University in the Shaanxi Province, an institution with ties to aviation, aerospace, and navigation studies, through phishing attacks on professors and students, sources told the Global Times.

China conducted a technical review of the alleged hacking and had determined the NSA's Tailored Access Operations (TAO), a hacking unit in the NSA, according to the report.

China's investigation alleges the hack stole network data to build a channel for remote access to the network, including attempting to "control China's infrastructure," the Times reported.

The probe alleged the hacker(s) used "41 types of weapons" to steal data, "1,100 attack links," and "90 operating instruction sequences."

Under former President Donald Trump, when negotiating for new trade deals with China, U.S. officials alleged the Chinese use forced technology transfer and intellectual property theft in an effort to gain economic superiority. The two global superpowers are fiercely competitive in the new battleground of technology, public and private.

The NSA did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment, and the Times reported more details are going to come "soon" on the allegations of U.S. intelligence hacking in China.

Former Trump lawyer to Newsmax: N.Y. AG James Weaponizing Justice System (Newsmax/"John Bachman Now")

By Solange Reyner | Thursday, 22 September 2022 12:55 PM EDT

New York Attorney General Letitia James is attempting to weaponize the justice system to get former President Donald Trump, constitutional law attorney Jenna Ellis said on Newsmax.

James on Wednesday announced she was suing Trump, his company, and family members. She is seeking to bar the Trumps from ever running a business in the state again over alleged fraud involving financial statements related to the company.

"This is Trump derangement syndrome at its finest and certainly malicious prosecution," Ellis, a former legal counsel to Trump, told Newsmax's "John Bachman Now" on Thursday.

"This is the most brazen attempt yet to weaponize the justice system and public office to get Trump and that is all that Letitia James is about," Ellis said.

"And you can see that in the montage that you played from her own statements, running for attorney general, that was her sole mission — to get Trump — and now 49 days from her own election, she's now suing him, but with resources, unlimited resources, and three years.

"All she has is this very, very weak civil suit, and she has to refer the rest to the IRS. I mean, this is just so laughable. It's almost like the coronavirus where every new strain of the Democrats' focus is just gets weaker and weaker and weaker and you can see that it's not going anywhere, and so for the American people, I think that they need to make sure that we are not experiencing Trump fatigue.

"That's what the Democrats want. They want us to say, OK no longer, we don't want these attacks against Trump. We have to make sure that we understand that due process matters, and that these political weaponizations by the democrats are absolutely unconstitutional. They're unlawful, and they're un-American."

Ellis also said she disagreed with the 11th Circuit's decision to block aspects of U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon's ruling that delayed a criminal investigation into highly sensitive documents seized by the FBI during its raid of Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.

"They seem to have a lot more faith and confidence in the Department of Justice's ability to be reasonable and to actually classify and segregate documents responsibly and ethically and according to the law, which Judge Cannon didn't share that assessment. So, while the 11th Circuit is right that the public does have an interest in national security, this slight delay by a special master after the DOJ hasn't come after Trump for these documents for two years, now suddenly there's some kind of urgency. I just don't think that's sufficient for their opinion."

Dick Morris to Newsmax: N.Y. Lawsuit Part of Dems' Plan to Keep Trump Out

By Sandy Fitzgerald | Thursday, 22 September 2022 12:06 PM EDT

It's clear that former President Donald Trump has "a lock on the Republican nomination" in 2024, so the Democrats, through actions like the fraud lawsuit filed Wednesday in New York, are trying all they can to keep him from running, Dick Morris, author of "The Return: Trump's Big 2024 Comeback," said on Newsmax, Thursday.

"The only thing the Democrats can do now is trying to jam him up legally but they don't have anything," Morris told Newsmax's "Wake Up America." "If he's ever littered or jaywalked, look for an indictment for that."

In her lawsuit, New York Attorney General Letitia James claims Trump and his family "repeatedly and persistently" manipulated assets to commit fraud against lenders and others, but Morris said he thinks it's "very clear" that she was singling him out.

Further, he said that property values in New York City fluctuate, and to say that he failed to pinpoint precisely what the net worth was "is a reach" and James can't win her case.

But she brought the lawsuit a few weeks before the election in November, and she knows that she would face "massive rejection" by her base if she didn't meet her campaign promises to target the former president, said Morris.

"This is all part of the Democratic strategies to focus attention on Donald Trump so it's not on Joe Biden," he said. "They know that they can't win if the focus is on inflation and gas prices and immigration, but if somehow they can turn it to property values and, yeah, documents and all kinds of stuff, they'll try to do that. It won't work."

Morris also continued to insist, as he does in his book, that Trump will be facing his 2016 election nemesis, Hillary Clinton, not Biden, in 2024.

"The Democrat leaders are going to come to Hillary Clinton and say, Please save us," said Morris. "She's using the same playbook I wrote to Bill Clinton in 1992. I get such a kick out of that too. She wants to work in the same building where her husband was, in the same seat and desk where he made a lot of very crucial decisions."
