The Rob Maness Show

Oct. 7, 2023, rocked the world and marked the darkest day in Israel’s 76-year modern history. On this day, a barbaric massacre orchestrated by Hamas claimed the lives of over 1,400 innocent people, primarily Jewish civilians. These terrorists stormed homes, mercilessly slaughtering women and children in their beds. They subjected others to unimaginable brutality, rape, and torture. They even took 254 civilians’ hostage. Simply put, Oct. 7 was the worst day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Since then, Israel has conducted war operations to eliminate Hamas from Gaza while under attack form Iran and its proxy forces in Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and the West Bank. The savages that opened the war box on October 7 have executed hostages, including Americans, and have refused any attempts to end the war they started. The United States policy toward the situation can only be doomed to failure as we see endless attempts to force Israel into a one-sided agreement that Hamas won’t agree to and the use of supply with-holding tactics against them. The war on Israel by Iran won’t end when it is getting signals the USA doesn’t really support our ally like these. The great challenge of our time is finding peace in this conflict, and it continues to elude everyone. New ideas and solutions are needed. My guest today is the author of One Jewish State: The Last, Best Hope to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and as the United States Ambassador to Israel from March 2017 until January 2021, Ambassador David Friedman successfully guided unprecedented diplomatic advancements in the US – Israel relationship, including moving the United States Embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights and was a key architect of the “Abraham Accords.”

We, you, me and Donald Trump, are the threat, not these guys, represented by the most powerful government person in the world! It is preposterous and downright dangerous for the President of the United States to embark on a domestic political war against half of his own citizens. That is what this was, and it continues to play out in living color today. The Justice system is totally weaponized not just against President Trump, but anyone associated with him, just look at the way January 6th citizens are being treated for things like trespassing. Trump has just survived a third assassination attempt, so this war declared on us has now become kinetic. We see every day more attacks on our liberty every single day by powerful opponents of our freedoms. Every right, from speech to bearing arms, is being weaponized against us. Not to be outdone by Biden’s domestic war, Iran’s militia’s continue to attack US forces in the Middle East and Israel itself but the largest precision attack against the Iranian Hexbollah terrorist organization just happened successfully, using a communications device I thought to be of a by-gone era, the pager! My guest today to discuss all this is Veteran TV News Producer, Columnist, Host of The Analyst Substack, and Former Diplomat Jake Novak.

Republicans left over a hundred thousand Pennsylvania mail-in ballots on the table in 2020 and one of the improvements in our get out the vote strategy is the mail-in ballot chase operations being conducted in key swing states by groups like Turning Point Action and PA Chase, combined with voter registration operations by activist groups such as Scott Pressler’s Early Vote Action, and the campaign/RNC’s efforts gives us a real opportunity to win Pennsylvania. Why Pennsylvania? The election just started there, and Pennsylvania has 19 electoral votes, making it one of the states with the highest number of electoral votes among battleground states. Winning Pennsylvania significantly improves a candidate's chances of reaching the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. Pennsylvania's status as a swing state, where neither Democrats nor Republicans hold a secure majority, means it can tilt the election for either candidate. Historically, it has been pivotal in presidential races, often reflecting broader national trends. The state's diverse electorate, including urban, suburban, and rural voters, mirrors a microcosm of American politics. Trump's strategy involves expanding margins in rural areas while trying to win over or maintain support in urban and suburban areas, particularly targeting Black and Latino voters who might be disillusioned with economic or social policies. But ballot chase operations will seal the deal. Here to explain all this for us is Pennsylvania native Cliff Maloney, the founder of PA Chase, and designer of 300 plus election-winning door knocking campaigns around the country.

NATO countries are openly contemplating supporting Ukraine’s use of US long range weapons inside Russia to attack key targets. Russia’s response is not surprising, as President Putin said this move will mean NATO and the USA are now at war with Russia. Meanwhile the war continues with Ukraine’s incursion into Kursk tying up their resources and Russia continues to increase its control of considerable amounts of Ukraine territory at the Eastern front since the incursion started. All of this is happening in the context of possibly the most contentious US presidential election ever. The democrats and their media mouthpieces, including the President, continue to use violence inciting rhetoric and of course, as predicted, a second assassination attempt happened yesterday. Human Events Jack Posobeic is reporting that attempted Trump assassin Ryan Routh appeared in a propaganda video for the AZOV BATTALLION in May 2022. The Azov Brigade was officially certified by the Blinken State Dept to receive US weapons in June of this year The same media that painted this neo-Nazi unit as heroic “defenders” is about to sweep Routh’s background under the rug and brand us all as conspiracy theorists. My guest today is retired US Army LtCol Dan Davis. Dan is a 4x combat vet (Desert Storm, OIF, Afghan x2), decorated for valor and Author of “Eleventh Hour in 2020 America: How America's foreign policy got jacked up - and how the next Administration can fix it” and Host of Daniel Davis Deep Dive on YouTube.

The lawfare cases against Donald Trump continue to be in the news and are being used by the Democrats in their campaign for President. They relish nothing more than to be able to say he’s a convicted felon over and over. Quite frankly, they had plans to put him in jail before November 5th and it’s a disgusting level of election interference, with the Justice Department openly violating its own long standing policies. But these unlawful actions are being thwarted, slowly but surely and eventually we, the American people will get the opportunity to fight back and should be able to hold them accountable! My guest today is our friend Mike Davis of the Article Three Project. Mike is the former Chief Counsel for Nominations, Senate Judiciary Committee, a former Law Clerk, Justice Gorsuch and you may just know him as the Viceroy for his outspoken proposals to deal with these criminals in the next Trump administration!

We will never forget. My family and every single American I ever worked with in my military career will never forget what happened on that day. We will always remember and honor the dead, injured, and destroyed families at the hands of Islamist terrorists. As we watch the events happening in the streets today, almost a year beyond the worst atrocities on the Jewish people since world War Two, we are absolutely appalled by the ignorance shown by young people in our streets supporting these criminals. What is driving this illogical and unconscionable support for a government and terrorist force that committed such crimes against humanity? I believe a large part of what we’re seeing is because of the feckless actions of the American government led by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris toward Israel’s operations to eliminate Hamas from the face of the earth. They have emboldened our enemies from Afghanistan to the Middle East, to Eastern Europe, and the Pacific, resulting in the Americans joining them and celebrating their victory over us in our own streets.

Are we in a holy war driven by demonic activity increasing on Earth? I’m not sure and honestly have not ascribed to that idea in any serious way but I have to tell you, we’re having this episode on More War Monday because we do appear to be in a time of heightened spiritual warfare, especially against Christians and the Jewish people. You just heard something very interesting, mainstream pollster Rasmussen admits that God is the defining factor exclaiming "It's like some kind of weird Holy War is going on." Gary Voris says "Yes! Exactly. We've been screaming this from the rooftops as Catholics for years and especially here at Souls and Liberty! Our country is at stake!! It is easy to see this is a Holy War. It's nice to see the mainstream conservative media and pollsters start seeing what Christians have been discerning for some time now." Gary Michael Voris is my guest today and Hosts In Depth at Souls and Liberty, a Catholic, Patriotic, Conservative News outlet. Mr. Voris holds a graduate degree, Cum Laude, from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. Voris earned multiple awards for 40+ years of news media experience for writing, producing, and investigative work from the Associated Press, Detroit Press Club, and Michigan Broadcasters Association, as well as four news Emmys in multiple categories. In 2006, exhausting more than $1 million dollars of his own life savings, he began Saint Michael's Media, blazing the trail and setting the standard in the Catholic media world for video presentations with the mission of bringing Christ to the internet. Voris has also authored multiple books and is perhaps most well-known for writing almost 4,000 scripts for his daily program, The Vortex.

Today we’re going to talk about the United States Military Academy at West Point and a group of graduates now organized as the MacArthur Society. General MacArthur once said, “I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any treat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.” He was correct. From a 2024 post on macarthursociety.org “Today, in 2024, the United States Military Academy is in jeopardy, as well as the other military academies. Its recent graduates are indistinguishable from other Army officers except for their large college rings. West Point is impacted by radical social change―as almost all of academia is―with the mortal rot of cancerous Cultural Marxism indoctrinated by Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Critical Race Theory. Its honor system is aspirational, not absolute. Its athletes are privileged. It is a costly school lavishly funded by federal taxes. The cadets have great and unlimited potential, but the military culture of West Point is corrupted, and traditional values must be restored. The Long Gray Line is the assembly of United States Military Academy graduates. It serves as a fount of American battle-tested experience, the institutional memory of the Military Academy, and the watchdog of the United States Corps of Cadets. As such, it is the sacred duty of the Long Gray Line to challenge dysfunctional conduct or rogue behavior, such as that which has come to dominate West Point. My guest today is a member of that long gray line and a Board Member of the MacArthur Society, among his many other hats. A 1996 West Point graduate with a degree in Russian and a graduate of the Army’s Airborne, Ranger, and Sapper schools, Matthew Newgent is now a businessman after 11 years of Army service.

Last week, Fox News released the data you just saw on the presidential race in four states: Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina. Their results indicate a shift in favor of the Democrats since Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee which seems just a bit outside the lines. Of course, the Trump campaign rightly blasted the network saying it has gotten polls wrong in the past. What are the real numbers? All polling is simply a snapshot in time but more than that everything depends on the so-called universe a pollster uses whether they are reliable and accurate or not. I‘ve been very public that I only closely follow and trust two to three polling companies because I’ve seen some really atrocious gamesmanship among a lot of well-known pollsters like the ones Fox News uses and my trusted pollsters are not showing what you just saw from Brett Bair. One of those I trust, and follow is Rasmussen Reports for three reasons, one, their past reliability and accuracy is a proven time and time again, two they don’t game their polling universe, and you can tell because many times their results aren’t to my liking as a Trump supporter, and three, they don’t hide their crosstabs. For these reasons I’ve asked the Head Pollster at Rasmussen Mark Mitchell to come on for this training Tuesday as the timing, just after Labor Day, is perfect to get a real sense of where the 2024 races are, at what many believe is the starting gate for November!

The Declaration of Military Accountability exists to repair damage done to the military from its COVID 19 policies thru holding DoD leaders accountable. Both the DMA & the book, “Defending the Constitution Enemy Lines were written by US Navy Commander Rob Green. I am one of the 231 veterans, active-duty members and one military spouse that signed the declaration. The COVID 19 VAX mandates took place in 2021. For three years congress has done very little to hold military leaders accountable and repair damage done to service members because of the mandate, some irreparably VAX injured for life. Some notable exceptions to include Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Congressman Tom Massie of Kentucky among others like Florida’s Matt Gaetz. Even things such as upgrading discharge designations is extremely difficult and time consuming for these veterans and all these issues need to be remedied. We signers of the Declaration continue to advocate for our elected officials to do the right thing and my guest today is one of those veterans. Today we’re bringing you the story of Air Force veteran Briana Cespedes and the work she is doing.

Let me read that beginning to you again … "We're here today to discuss a tragedy for the USA that could have been the catalyst in the destruction of our Republic. World War I started with botched Diplomatic Security. The assassination of one party's leading candidate a mere four months before the election, at minimum, would have unleashed unimaginable chaos and violence... The cancerous rot of unaccountability has metastasized throughout our entire body politic. Our obscene levels of government waste ooze like a gelatinous mold across society.” The mysteries and lack of transparency around the investigation are beyond concerning. There is credible information 20yo Thomas Crooks had sophisticated explosive devices in his possession, and his digital footprint remains nonexistent. How is that possible? Louisiana Republican Rep. Clay Higgins has released a preliminary report detailing the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump and the initial response by local authorities and the findings create more concern. My guest today is the host of the Cash Loren show, where he discusses news and politics from a conservative perspective. Mr. Loren has been following the investigation into this despicable act very closely.

President Donald trump has pledged not to enter into any new wars in his campaign for re-election but can we achieve peace with China under these conditions? “For most of the past century, China was weak militarily in comparison to the United States. Since then, the military balance in the Pacific has shifted dramatically in favor of the PRC. Today, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) boasts the largest army, navy, coast guard and nuclear capable ballistic missile force in the world. It is a nuclear superpower on par with the United States and is on track to exceed the US in terms of operationally deployed strategic nuclear weapons this year with a recently released unclassified USAF intelligence briefing stating that at current building rates China will have 4,000 nuclear warheads by the end of the decade. China is amassing an increasing number of powerful nuclear-capable weapon systems that could serve to deter US military intervention including hypersonic cruise missiles and both land and air-launched anti-ship ballistic missile systems. While many US policymakers express confidence the US would prevail in a war with China, all US military wargames conducted during the past two decades show the US losing badly in a war over Taiwan thanks to China’s increasing theater conventional military and nuclear superiority.” My guest today is David Pyne and we’re discussing his peace proposal between China and Taiwan that might be able to get the job done. Pyne is a former U.S. Army combat arms and Headquarters staff officer, who was in charge of armaments cooperation with the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas from 2000-2003. He currently serves as Executive Vice President of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and as a member of the Committee on the Present Danger-China.

The investigations into the weaponized intelligence agencies continue to this day. FISA reform legislation failed in Congress and we still don’t have answers about the assassination attempt on President Trump thanks to slow walking federal agencies like the FBI. Think about that, since the summer of 2015 our government’s most powerful tools to protect us from our enemies have been used against us, the citizens, while wars erupt all in almost every flashpoint in the world because of terrible energy, trade, and defense policy decisions. Now we’re in the final 75 days of the 2024 presidential campaign and many suspect these agencies are involved in the historical and non-democratic changes in the party nominee of the left, and the courts continue their lawfare against President Trump and his supporters. Add to the mix the possibility of RFK Jr endorsing Mr. Trump and withdrawing from the race and you have an exciting time (albeit stressful on freedom) in American history! My guest today to discuss all this is former Trump Advisor George Papadopoulos, the best-selling author of, “DEEP STATE TARGET: How I got caught in the crosshairs of the plot to bring down President Trump.”
