Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| You don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
| France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
| But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| This is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always. | ||
| Because if you don't, then the worst happens. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, welcome. | ||
| It's Tuesday, 31 May, the year of our Lord 2022. | ||
| It's the last day of the month of the, we're almost through the first half of the year. | ||
| Unbelievable. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| Just had a fantastic Memorial Day. | ||
| I hope everybody was able to see our specials on Saturday, the coming war over Taiwan. | ||
| In the South China Sea. | ||
| Want to make sure everybody goes and sees that. | ||
| You have to watch that. | ||
| Very important. | ||
| Had a collection of hitters on there. | ||
| Also yesterday, so proud to have Patrick O'Donnell. | ||
| I think it's like the eighth year in a row we've done this. | ||
| Eighth year in a row of our very special memorial service. | ||
| Had Captain Bannon join me. | ||
| Today, we're going to have Naomi Wolf later. | ||
| Also tonight, they're doing an event at the Willard Hotel. | ||
| We're going to have Captain Bannon and many other people there try to do some live pick-ups from there. | ||
| We've got a packed show today. | ||
| We're going to go to Olvade, where Ben Berquam is right outside the school. | ||
| We'll get to Ben in a second, Real America's voice man on the scene. | ||
| He was in Wyoming the other night. | ||
| I want to thank Rudy and everybody, too, by the way. | ||
| If you didn't see our special, With Andrew Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani, and Bernie Kerik on Saturday night. | ||
| It was fantastic. | ||
| I want to make sure that gets pushed out in its entirety so everybody sees it. | ||
| We're going to have a lot of stuff from the border, from Mexico. | ||
| Dr. Gina Loudon, Terry Schilling. | ||
| It's packed today. | ||
| Cleta Mitchell. | ||
| Jam, jam, jam. | ||
| Packed. | ||
| Also, the second hour we're going to take, we're going to tell you about the Victory Lap. | ||
| In Geneva, this audience kicked it off and stopped the amendments to the international health regulations. | ||
| Now we're deepening to make sure they don't happen. | ||
| I think we've got Naomi Wolf, we're going to have James Rogowski, Dr. Bregen, trying to track down Michelle Bachmann. | ||
| I think she's en route, actually, to Israel, trying to get everybody up here on that. | ||
| Okay, I want to start with Signal Not Noise, and that is about the economy. | ||
| Steve Cortez joins us by phone. | ||
| We've got some charts to put up. | ||
| Cortez, a huge story in the Washington Post that I put up on Getter that said that talked about Biden and his advisors, both at the Fed and in his White House and others, that got it so wrong in inflation and how they got it wrong. | ||
| It's a brutal story. | ||
| It definitely tries to cover for it, but it's a brutal story. | ||
| And I put up on Getter how Cortez and Navarro were right from the absolute beginning and people should have listened to them, watched the world and listened to you guys. | ||
| Walk us through where we stand today, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure, Steve. | |
| Well, listen, and I am glad to see the Washington Post at least admit reality, albeit well more than a year too late. | ||
| You know, the Washington establishment, the ruling class in this country, seems to almost specialize in lying to us. | ||
| And I don't mean small lies, Steve. | ||
| I mean really big, grand, consequential lies. | ||
| Things like the Russia hoax, for example. | ||
| Things like The 2020 election was the cleanest and fairest election in United States history. | ||
| And then this grand lie, which they told throughout 2021, which was that inflation was, quote, transitory. | ||
| That became the most repeated and ridiculous phrase of Washington, D.C., and I mean from all corners, from the corporate media, from the Federal Reserve, from the Biden White House, from a lot of folks on Capitol Hill, from a lot of people, too, who should have known better, people like the Federal Reserve, who has an absolute army of PhDs. | ||
| I work for the American people and either completely missed this or knew what was going on and decided to lie anyway. | ||
| I lean more toward the latter because I'm just that cynical about the Fed and I think the Fed is all about politics and all about its institutional control rather than serving the American people. | ||
| But nonetheless, the reality is the American people right now are dealing with absolutely out of control inflation and 40-year highs by every single metric. | ||
| And just this morning as we're talking, Steve, if we can put up chart one, please. | ||
| That is on crude oil. | ||
| Just as we're speaking this morning on the news that Europe is going to severely restrict its imports of Russian oil. | ||
| Note, by the way, the Europeans are not saying an embargo. | ||
| They're not saying we're going to stop importing Russian oil. | ||
| They're not going there. | ||
| But they're going to put severe limitations on it. | ||
| And because of that, crude oil jumps yet again. | ||
| The crude oil explosion higher in energy, which was already happening because of the policies of Joe Biden, well before things heated up in Ukraine because he attacked pipelines. | ||
| and drilling and because he insisted on ridiculous radical ESG directives upon oil exploration and production, all of that, that confluence of factors caused an absolute explosion higher in energy prices, even before the Biden inflation that has now been massive, excuse me, the Ukraine situation that has now been exacerbated massively. | ||
| And as I show on the chart, on Election Day, November 3rd of 2020, crude oil was $41 a barrel. | ||
| America was energy dominant. | ||
| We had plentiful, affordable domestic energy to power the American economy, both on the industrial side as well as for the consumer. | ||
| The chart shows what has happened ever since. | ||
| We got to the highs of $1.16 a barrel. | ||
| In March and just this morning, we are now, unfortunately, eclipsing those highs very near $120 a barrel. | ||
| Steve, it's hard to exaggerate how consequential this is for the American economy. | ||
| You know, we have a crisis of confidence in this country. | ||
| No wonder, given these energy prices and other prices. | ||
| this morning, we also got news out that housing prices up 20% year over year. | ||
| So these kinds of massive increases are just unsustainable for middle-income and working-class people. | ||
| They just, they simply cannot handle these kinds of price shocks. | ||
| And the only way they did handle them, until recently at least, was through a massive escalation in credit card debt. | ||
| And we know that's not sustainable for the long term. | ||
| So the situation is dire. | ||
| It's nice that The Washington Post finally admits to reality, but welcome to the party very, very late. | ||
| And now I think the task for America First is, what's the way out? | ||
| We didn't make this mess, but we're going to have to fix it. | ||
| What are the fixes? | ||
| What are the policy prescriptions? | ||
| Get America back to a place of prosperity and back to a place of controlled, reasonable inflation in this country. | ||
| And if we can figure that out correctly, we're going to romp in these 2022 elections and not just with the Republicans, but with real America first economic populace. | ||
| Steve, also over the weekend they had a, and I don't have the charts to Denver yet, so I'll get it later, but I showed it to you. | ||
| Germany announced 8.1% inflation. | ||
| I think it's the highest since like the Weimar Republic they had. | ||
| Year-on-year growth in their producer price is over 30%. | ||
| I mean, some enormous number. | ||
| The EU just did. | ||
| Remember, the Russian energy is really natural gas, but oil's kind of on the side. | ||
| But you and I talked over the weekend that if they go the wrong way in this oil, oil could go to 150. | ||
| I mean, the Biden administration is really hanging on by a string on depending on what the EU does with Russian oil, is it not? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, absolutely. | |
| And this is such a dangerous game that the Biden administration is playing along with With Brussels and the Davos crowd, because, look, we are massively escalating a regional struggle in Ukraine, in which America has zero vital U.S. | ||
| national interest. | ||
| And if you notice, by the way, when the folks who are advocating for escalation, which unfortunately includes a lot of established Republicans, they always just sort of use these ridiculous, vague catchphrases, like it's a fight for freedom, or it's about liberty, or the rules-based international order. | ||
| They never tell us, oh, here is America's interest, here is why the Eastern Border of Ukraine matters so vitally to the United States. | ||
| And yet, the escalation continues. | ||
| And this escalation doesn't just have national security risks, and those are intense and very real, but also ridiculous economic calamity at stake. | ||
| And we're already seeing it. | ||
| And again, I want this to be clear, though. | ||
| The inflation inferno was already burning before the Ukraine crisis. | ||
| The policies of Biden and Pelosi and McConnell, their exorbitant borrowing and spending, Combined with Biden's attack on domestic American energy had already produced a massive surge in inflation in this country. | ||
| We then took that conflagration and poured more fuel, unfortunately, all over it to turn it into a truly global conflagration, which is what we've got now because of the insistence of Biden and NATO and UN and Davos types to escalate this conflict in Ukraine. | ||
| Unfortunately, because America, though, it's not like we can complain much about what the Europeans do, because America has been at the lead of escalation by comparison to Europeans, who have been largely pro-escalation, but not to the extent of the United States. | ||
| And by comparison, the Europeans have been somewhat sane. | ||
| I mean, even people like Macron has tried at times, I think, to tamp down the rhetoric that we see coming out of Foggy Bottom in Washington, D.C. | ||
| and the Biden White House. | ||
| So, listen, the stakes in terms of global food, and we've talked about it a lot on this show, the stakes of fertilizer, wheat, what is going on for just absolutely. | ||
| staples for the entire world combined with and that's most important developing world and then combined with this energy surge which is more important for the developed world, the United States, and secure economic nations. | ||
| This is such a dangerous situation. | ||
| Singapore is the Switzerland of Asia. | ||
| They've just put out a notice to their citizens that tell them, hey we import like 95% of our food, right? | ||
| They're going through a whole series of things to get their population ready for food shortages and explosion in prices. | ||
| You've seen it in Sri Lanka, this beginning of famine. | ||
| Russia, because of your betters, and they're not thinking through geo-strategically what they're doing to let this border dispute metastasize into something, and it's all because of the escalation of the West. | ||
| The Russians are super bad guys. | ||
| I'm not defending the Russian elite, okay? | ||
| The military. | ||
| I'm the one that says cut them off in natural gas. | ||
| Quit paying for it! | ||
| Stop paying for arrivals! | ||
| You want to choke them down? | ||
| Do it! | ||
| But don't have your population because your population will vote you out of office. | ||
| Russia right now, the Russian military and KGB has a double-barreled shotgun to the temple of the EU with energy, natural gas, and food. | ||
| They've blocked the port down there in Odessa. | ||
| The great Jack Posobiec went there over the weekend. | ||
| There's no weed getting out. | ||
| So now you're going to have a massive explosion in prices and you're going to start having famine. | ||
| You're already seeing that in Sri Lanka and other places. | ||
| It's starting to explode. | ||
| You're going to have big problems caused by these globalists not thinking through This is so critical, okay? | ||
|

|
Putin is a terrible guy, and he's a thug, right? | |
| And those of us who are in favor of de-escalation, we constantly get accused of somehow carrying water for Putin. | ||
| That is not remotely true. | ||
| Let's talk actual reality, particularly economic reality. | ||
| What the escalation crowd is doing In many ways, it's only strengthening Vladimir Putin. | ||
| And let me explain that, because all the things that he sells to the world, and basically it's fertilizer and energy, are getting massively more expensive. | ||
| And like the gangster he is, he pulled a gangster move and said, guess what? | ||
| You're not only going to pay me, you're going to pay me in roubles for these goods, because of what the United States is doing to me in terms of a currency war. | ||
| And so guess what? | ||
| The rouble is absolutely soaring. | ||
| So if you're Vladimir Putin right now, He's waging a war which, by all indications, is quite popular at home. | ||
| In addition, the goods that Russia sells to the world are soaring in price, and they have forced the world to pay them in rubles, and the rubles are increasing. | ||
| So, if you're actually really intent on weakening Putin, everything that they are doing, this escalation crowd, is completely counterproductive. | ||
| The reality is, if we were to tell both sides, the Russians as well as the Ukrainians, that De-escalation is the goal of the United States, and you must reach a negotiated settlement, and we are no longer going to fund both sides of the war. | ||
| That's so critical for us to remember. | ||
| We are funding, right now, today, both sides of the war, sending $40 billion that we do not have from American taxpayers that they're borrowing to send to Ukraine, at the same time that the world, mostly the Europeans, are sending a billion dollars per day to Russia for energy. | ||
| We are funding both sides of the fight, and then pretending, really, right, And we're simply on the side of righteousness here, that it's some sort of black versus white, pure struggle, where that's simply not the case. | ||
| And if we would de-escalate, in all likelihood, a negotiated settlement would be reached relatively soon. | ||
| That wouldn't just be good for Europe and the United States, it would be the best situation for the people of Ukraine, who are being used as pawns in this game. | ||
| You know, I often say this, Stephen, unfortunately, that the foreign policy establishment of the United States At the Washington think tanks, at Foggy Bottom, the foreign policy establishment always views the world as a chessboard. | ||
| And in their arrogance and hubris, they believe that they can manipulate this chessboard to somehow reach their nirvana of a managed world order. | ||
| But instead, what we always find out, for decades now, is they are terrible chess players. | ||
| They're terrible at the game. | ||
| They never get to the second and third order derivative effects and that the in this case the Ukrainians But also American deplorables are always the pawns in the future game of global shatter They play the global chess game. They have no skin in the game It's the deplorables' money, it's their tax dollars, it's their pension fund money that supports it, and their kids. | ||
| The blood and treasure of the deplorables, and the deplorables got nothing to say about it. | ||
| Well, that's changing. | ||
| Steve, hang on. | ||
| Steve Cortez in a remote location. | ||
| We've got Ben Burquam down in Ovadi. | ||
| We've got Todd Bensman and Oscar Blue with reports on the border. | ||
| Dr. Gina's got an explosive report coming out about the lockdowns in the school system in Ovadi. | ||

| Black powder's got a little kick to it, okay? | ||
| We got a lot of wood to chop and we're gonna start chopping. | ||
| By the way, Steve Cortez got a chart to me. | ||
| I'll get Cortez back on here in a minute that proves my point about Trump and the Fed, right? | ||
| Go do your job. | ||
| I don't need to talk to you. | ||
| Because things, the economy was on fire when Trump was president, didn't have all this mess. | ||
| Plus he took a trillion dollars off the balance sheet of the Fed, which we'll get to in a minute. | ||
| I want to go to Ovaldae down in Texas, outside of San Antonio by Eagle Pass. | ||
| Ben, you're down there for a couple of days. | ||
| I gotta tell you, all weekend long, my head's blown. | ||
| Every time I see another timeline, my head blows up more. | ||
| I got so many questions. | ||
| But put us in the room. | ||
| You're down there for a couple of days to get to the bottom and to get a bunch of questions answered for us, sir? | ||
| Yeah, thank you, Steve. | ||
| I'm just going to kind of give you the scene where we're at right now first to give you an idea of the scope, the scale, where this is. | ||
| So right over to my right is Diaz Street. | ||
| It's two streets down where that SUV is passing. | ||
| That is the street that the shooter lived on right here. | ||
| Is the funeral home behind me here and right down here is where this van is crossing is where the truck actually ended up going into the ditch about 30 minutes after he shot his grandma in the face. | ||
| This right now is the school you can see behind us. | ||
| It's still an active crime scene, so they've told us we can't go in, but just behind the police officers is the door that the shooter went into or the demon went into. | ||
| Really, in my opinion, if we can look over here a couple things to note, though, so this is like you mentioned the timeline. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| It makes no sense. | ||
| the fact that he supposedly shot his grandma in the face around 11 a.m. and it took him 28 minutes to crash his truck into the ditch over here. | ||
| The police, the only thing that makes sense there is if he was driving around town and ended up back here, but again, a lot of these questions we're still not getting answers from law enforcement on. | ||
| At 11.33 though, that's when he went into the building, into those doors off to my right behind me. | ||
| And at that point, again, at first we heard that there was a police resource officer that that was involved at the beginning. | ||
| Then we found out he wasn't. | ||
| Then we found out he came and actually drove right past the gunman in the parking lot. | ||
| That parking lot was full of cars at that point. | ||
| The police officers, Uvalde PD, arrived at the funeral home. | ||
| Right before the gunman went inside, but didn't engage with him. | ||
| And then the gunman went inside. | ||
| And at 12.15, again, almost 45 minutes, 42 minutes. | ||
| Hold it, hold it, hold it. | ||
| Hang on, hang on. | ||
| Slow down, slow down. | ||
| The door gets propped at the very moment. | ||
| Look, the timeline doesn't make sense. | ||
| I don't know if it's 11 o'clock. | ||
| I don't know if it's 11 o'clock. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| I don't know if it's 11 o'clock, but that's why it's so important to have Ben there. | ||
| It's right down the street and off to the side where he lives. | ||
| He shoots the grandmother sometime after 11 o'clock. | ||
| We don't know when, but it ain't close to 11.30. | ||
| It's closer to 11. | ||
| Why crashes in the ditch? | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| Why does it take 20 or 25 minutes to get down there? | ||
| Why does the door just magically get propped open at the very moment? | ||
| Look, remember, we're not conspiracy theorists here. | ||
| We don't believe in them. | ||
| But they're no coincidences. | ||
| How does the door get propped open at the very moment? | ||
| A guy's opening fire, essentially, on the funeral home and took a couple of shots at the school also. | ||
| How does a school officer drive by after the guy's been up shooting And quote-unquote thinks a teacher's the guy? | ||
| I mean, nothing makes any sense. | ||
| The other thing, Ben, is Bortec. | ||
| I know you're gonna talk to them. | ||
| Bortec's down in Del Rio. | ||
| Del Rio's, I think, 70 miles away. | ||
| The earliest they could have heard about it is 1133, 34, 35. | ||
| You gotta go through a chain. | ||
| Those guys are employed down there. | ||
| They're just not hanging out. | ||
| How do you get, and maybe they came with helicopters, we haven't been told that, but how do you get from Del Rio, Texas, To El Valle in 26 minutes. | ||
| How does that happen? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| That is a question. | ||
| That's a question. | ||
| But the other part of that, Steve, the biggest part to me is why are you outside the door at 1215 Bortax there and then the police chief of the schools, Pete Arredondo, has the police officers stand down for another 40 minutes before they breach that door. | ||
| As children are bleeding out. | ||
| The most important part of this, Steve, I want to make is as the left continues to push this, they're attacking the guns. | ||
| This is ripe for them. | ||
| They never let a crisis go to waste. | ||
| That's what they're looking at. | ||
| Joe Biden flies down here over the weekend. | ||
| That's what they're doing. | ||
| They're pushing gun control. | ||
| This is about good versus evil. | ||
| This is good versus evil. | ||
| That's what we're up against. | ||
| This man was a demon, but that's what needs to be called out. | ||
| But hang on, here's what's interesting. | ||
| For five days, we haven't gotten any word about this kid. | ||
| How did he get those guns? | ||
| How did he get the cash? | ||
| How did he buy that kind of ammo? | ||
| Everybody will tell you. | ||
| One of the reasons we do pro-tech here, i-tech, is that they're using the laser because the ammo is too expensive. | ||
| The ammo is too expensive. | ||
| How does this kid get the cash to buy the ammo? | ||
| How does he get it that quickly? | ||
| How does he get the guns that quickly? | ||
| Bernie Kerrick, I got Bernie Kerrick back in Buffalo. | ||
| Remember, Bernie Kerrick came on the show the afternoon of Buffalo. | ||
| He has seen the tapes inside the Buffalo store. | ||
| Bernie Kerrick says on the show twice, that kid is well-trained. | ||
| And I said, could he get it off a video? | ||
| No, impossible. | ||
| He's a well-trained shooter. | ||
| He was right, the kid in Buffalo. | ||
| Nothing's come out about that. | ||
| No investigations. | ||
| Why have we not heard any word about this kid in five or six days? | ||
| How did he get the cash? | ||
| What did he do? | ||
| We've got Gina Loudon's coming on here. | ||
| There are 48 lockdowns in the system. | ||
| Where's the SWAT team? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They have a 13-man SWAT team. | |
| 48 lockdowns. | ||
| Where is it? | ||
| So Ben, you're going to be down there for a couple days. | ||
| You're going to dig in and burr in hard on this? | ||
| Yeah, I mean that's the thing. | ||
| We've got to get answers to this. | ||
| The moral of the story is the left is going to continue to use this to try to take away your guns, confiscate guns. | ||
| They're going to ignore the evil that's behind it, but you're right. | ||
| These questions need to be answered. | ||
| It was ripe for the picking. | ||
| This is the battle in our country. | ||
| It's good versus evil, and we're going to get to the bottom of it. | ||
| No doubt. | ||
| Ben Berquam, real quickly, social media, how do people follow you non-stop on this? | ||
| Because you're breaking stuff all the time. | ||
| Download the America's Voice app. | ||
| You can get me on FrontlineAmerica.com and then at Ben Burquam on all social media. | ||
| Getter, Truth Social, CloudHub, and the rest. | ||
| We'll have you back up at five. | ||
| Ben Burquam. | ||
| Okay, great. | ||
| I want to get loud about it. | ||
| Cortez, this has been a burr under your saddle. | ||
| Tell me about this. | ||
| This has nothing to do with guns. | ||
| In fact, I would argue what you argued the other day. | ||
| This will make families want to get more guns to protect themselves. | ||
| Steve Cortez. | ||
|

|
Steve, exactly, the horror of what transpired there in Uvalde, if anything, argues more forcefully for an armed citizenry. | |
| The fact that we could not rely, and we love cops, and I think police always deserve the better of the doubt, but the fact that those parents could not rely on the police officers to do their job, and in fact restrained the parents who were trying to get in to save their babies who were dying or in danger in that building. | ||
| Only reinforces the necessity that security is an interest that we must all take for ourselves. | ||
| It must be our duty, our responsibility, to provide our own security and the security of our family. | ||
| It simply cannot be outsourced, and that is the critical crux of the Second Amendment. | ||
| So if anything, I think that situation in Uvalde actually reinforces the common-sense need For the Second Amendment and for more parents to be responsibly armed, not the opposite. | ||
| But somebody who doesn't know that, unfortunately, is the Senator From that very state, John Cornyn, who is right now, and I think we have a series of tweets we can show from him, and there's three of them. | ||
| I call this sort of the trifecta of terrible from Senator John Cornyn. | ||
| He's been on quite a roll lately, Steve, and he has put out three tweets, I think, which really put him in the running as the single worst Republican senator. | ||
| I used to think that was Lindsey Graham in a walk, but John Cornyn has really given him a run for his money. | ||
| And the first of those tweets is regarding this tragic situation in Texas. | ||
| He tries to defend law enforcement for their inaction. | ||
| He says the second-guessing and finger-pointing is unfair. | ||
| He says it's easy to criticize in 20-20 hindsight. | ||
| And Steve, listen, this isn't 20-20 hindsight over one split-second decision. | ||
| Somebody could understand a bad decision in the heat of the moment split-second. | ||
| We're talking about over an hour of total inaction, of restraining parents. | ||
| And yet, John Cornyn predictably wants to defend that inaction rather than saying, let's get real answers. | ||
| So that was the first of his tweets. | ||
| And if we go to the second one, he then says also that the U.S. | ||
| needs more, and like I said, this guy's on a roll. | ||
| He says the U.S. | ||
| needs more legal immigration. | ||
| To get back to our first segment, Steve, and we're talking about prices out of control, which means real wages are crashing. | ||
| So even if Americans are getting a pay raise, it's not nearly enough to keep up with the rent and the food and groceries that are galloping higher at a time of crashing real wages. | ||
| What does John Cornyn want? | ||
| He tells us more legal immigration, more immigrants to come to the United States and compete in the labor market against American citizens, further depressing real wages in this country. | ||
| And then the third tweet he put out, also related to what we were talking about in the first segment, he says that the Senate was right to pass a Ukraine aid bill. | ||
| This is a man who majors in the minors, who does not understand what is important. | ||
| We have right now an absolute border crisis in his own state. | ||
| People in Texas had every opportunity to take care of him, throw him out of office, and they didn't take it. | ||
| This is on Texas. | ||
| He's your problem. | ||
| You've got to solve the problem. | ||
| People ought to be lighting up his phones about getting his mind right. | ||
| Here's the problem I got down there with Republican officials. | ||
| We just need facts. | ||
| You've got to get a timeline up there that makes sense. | ||
| There's something deep. | ||
| As people know, these are not the type of stories we focus on. | ||
| But there is something deeply, deeply wrong about this. | ||
| And it's tied to the border. | ||
| It's tied to immigration. | ||
| It's tied to out-of-control cartels. | ||
| It's tied to all that. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| And we're going to get to the bottom of it. | ||
| We're like a dog with a bone. | ||
| Burquam's down there. | ||
| We got Bensman on it. | ||
| We're bringing all resources. | ||
| There's something not right with that timeline. | ||

| Dr. Gina Loudon, one of the hosts of the evening shows with Real America's Voice. | ||
| We've talked all over the weekend, and she's had an interesting, and Miranda Kahn, also, that follows our show at noon, had an interesting thesis the other day, and I said, hey, can you back that up with some facts, and they did. | ||
| Dr. Gina's got a piece up in Town Hall right now, if Denver can put that up, I want to bring in Dr. Gina Lamb. | ||
| Nobody's talking about this, and I've got Oscar right after this, Blue Ramirez from Tapachula. | ||
| I've got Todd Bensman. | ||
| There's something not right with this situation down there. | ||
| The timeline doesn't make sense. | ||
| Nothing makes sense. | ||
| And nobody, and particularly, I put this on the Republicans, nobody's coming forward and laying out facts to the American people. | ||
| Tell me what you guys have been able to unearth that's quite disturbing about the situation down there, ma'am. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Miranda Khan, as you mentioned, reported on her Noonday Show on Friday that 48 lockdowns had already occurred at this particular elementary school in Texas. | |
| Since the beginning of the year. | ||
| So that number just shocked me because I thought, you know, if you've been through 48 tornado drills and someone says there's a tornado coming, how fast are you really going to duck and cover, right? | ||
| Going back to our days when we did that. | ||
| And that might explain a whole lot about why everybody was sort of slow and lackadaisical on this. | ||
| But let me turn this to what if there had been 48 lockdowns because of illegal immigrants, right? | ||
| 48 lockdowns, because this is a border town, sort of about a hundred, more than a hundred miles actually from. | ||
| That's September, and I don't think that's the calendar year. | ||
| I think it's from the school year. | ||
| They're 48. | ||
| regular basis and they're all sitting ducks for a gunman like this to walk in because they don't take it's the it's the child here's a thing about the the 48 I think is from what we call a school year that's September and I don't think that's the calendar year I think it's from the school year there were 48 this makes this makes sense of why they've got in the town a six look it's a 15,000 person town how many of you out there in 15,000 people they got six officers in just the school that guys the chief is not the chief of police | ||
| is the chief of the school police which I say is like being a squad commander anywhere else but they have six they also have a 13 man SWAT team which we still haven't found out the reason where why they were not activated before Bortec or Bortec it But here's my point. | ||
| 48 lockdowns and they've had all this problem with cartels and immigrants. | ||
| How do you have 48 lockdowns in a school year? | ||
| Forget the fact that you should exactly be up to speed on things and you see that all the training films they've been going through. | ||
| But the question is what is happening in a community like this that will require that number of lockdowns, that number of lockdowns in a school year, Dr. Gina? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, and they sit ripe for more copycat killings like this. | |
| And let me ask you this, Steve. | ||
| If this were happening, if there had been 48 lockdowns this year in the Hamptons or in Palm Beach or in Washington D.C.' 's big private schools, do you think I think that maybe our politicians would have done something about it. | ||
| Bottom line is no one cares about these children. | ||
| This is the worst sort of bigotry that you can imagine. | ||
| Not caring if children are going to die. | ||
| And let me tell you something else. | ||
| More children are going to die because now whoever's out there exacting these sorts of crimes is looking for ripe situations like this where they are sort of just You know, over it, because they get these sorts of warnings every day. | ||
| So, this is one of the scariest things. | ||
| And here's another interesting point, Steve, that cannot be lost on your viewers and mine, and that is that the media glossed over this, but Stoneman Douglas, here in Parkland, Florida, happened right when I moved here, just a couple of years ago, where that massive shooting took place. | ||
| This was quietly swept under the rug, but the FBI made so many mistakes, Steve, that they ended up settling for millions of dollars with the families of the Parkland students. | ||
| What went wrong there? | ||
| And why isn't the FBI, why isn't any head rolled? | ||
| Why hasn't anyone been fired? | ||
| Why isn't Joe Biden screaming about that instead of gun control? | ||
| That's my question. | ||
| Where's the Department of Education? | ||
| It's not in their narrative. | ||
| That's what we now know. | ||
| In Buffalo, there's some federal agent, retired federal agent, that supposedly knew about this. | ||
| They're reporting it in the Buffalo News. | ||
| It's not coming from Gateway Pundit. | ||
| This is the Buffalo News up there reporting some retired federal agent might have been in a chat room and knew about the Buffalo shooter. | ||
| A lot of questions. | ||
| Here's the point. | ||
| This is why Burquam's down there and why we're all over this. | ||
| We have to get a timeline. | ||
| I mean a timeline down to the second of what happened here because this does not make sense. | ||
| There's so many loose ends and quite frankly a week after it's happened, it's unsatisfied. | ||
| It's unsat. | ||
| These things have at least on the timeline should have been put up. | ||
| We got to find out more about this gunman. | ||
| This is going to be tied to the open borders. | ||
| Can I give one more caution just on that mental health argument? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everybody wants to take the pressure off of guns and put it on mental health. | |
| You also can I give one more caution just on that mental health argument? | ||
| Everybody wants to take the pressure off of guns and put it on mental health. | ||
| I totally get that. | ||
| But as somebody who spent a better than a decade of her life studying mental health, you do not want the Joe Biden Department of Mental Health and Gun Safety to be formed, to be what they culminate out of this crisis. | ||
| That is the most dangerous thought ever. | ||
| This is not about that. | ||
| This is about sticking to the laws that work. | ||
| If our wall had been built and if we had the rule of law enforced, this shooting would never have happened and these children and adults would be alive today. | ||
| Dr. Gina Loudon, Gina shows on at 7. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Seven o'clock, Dr. Gina primetime, and I'm all over social media, including my getter chat, which I love, at Real Dr. Gina. | |
| Dr. Gina, thank you for taking time away this morning to join us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thanks, Steve. | |
| Okay, let's go to, I want to go to Oscar Blue. | ||
| We're going to get to Bensman and tie this all together. | ||
| I want to go to Oscar Blue Ramirez, the fearless and intrepid and indefatigable Oscar Blue Ramirez down in Tapachula. | ||
| Sir, tell us about what's happening. | ||
| The gathering storm is down in Tapachula. | ||
| Tell us what's going on. | ||
| For five days in a row, Mr. Bannon, this part has been witness of thousands and thousands. | ||
| As we talked about last week, there was just 4,000 petitions. | ||
| Now it has escalated to 7,000, Mr. Bannon, 7,000 protection claim petitions. | ||
| that these migrants are awaiting if the Institute of National Immigration is going to give them the humanitarian visa or the visa to transit to move freely into the north border. So now, yesterday, we talked to the leader of the caravan and he said, if we don't come to an agreement with the Institute of National Immigration of Mexico on giving us the humanitarian visas or the visa to transit. | ||
| By the 6th of June, we are going to have the biggest caravan that has ever come out of the south border of Tapachula directed into the north borders. | ||
| That is going to be 10,000 people. | ||
| Almost 10,000 people. | ||
| On my left side, you will see that they're doing malaria tests. | ||
| Over here, the Secretary of Health of Tapachula, they're also doing malaria tests. | ||
| There's a lot of people that have come in from Bangladesh, from Somalia, from all across the world that they know about the river, Mr. Bannon. | ||
| That is the number one word that they know around the world. | ||
| They know the word river. | ||
| If you ask every migrant from across the world that are coming and they're sitting down right here at this particular park, they know a river. | ||
| So that means Eagle Pass and that means particularly Del Rio, Texas. | ||
| Eagle Pass and Del Rio, the two towns down near Ovalde. | ||
| So here's the thing, we've got 7,000 coming across today. | ||
| Benzema's going to show some footage here over the weekend that's going to blow your mind. | ||
| But these are being, these caravans are being weaponized right now. | ||
| They're essentially extorting the Mexican local authorities and the Mexican government. | ||
| They're weaponizing this flow of people from throughout the world. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| And that has been a strategy that has been happening for the past year of 2021 and now it's starting 2022. | ||
| If you don't give us the papers today, we're going to triple who comes through here. | ||
| Correct, Oscar? | ||
| Yes, sir, and that has been a strategy that it has been happening for the past year of 2021 and now is starting 2022. | ||
| For me, it's flabbergasting because it tells you that it's never going to end. | ||
| It is never going to end. | ||
| This flow is going to go up to the north and then what? | ||
| The open border. | ||
| It is right here on the south border of Mexico that connects to Guatemala and more migrants and more migrants are going to come in. | ||
| Then they're going to collapse again, create a crisis and go up again and around at another, you know, quantity, vast quantity like this one. | ||
| Another concerning thing, Mr. Bannon, is the situation right now with the MS gang. | ||
| Yesterday, the Minister of Security of El Salvador gave out the number of how many they have arrested in El Salvador. | ||
| 34,500 gang members. | ||
| They are in prison right now. | ||
| That is the number one reason why you have an exodus of gang members that gang members that are coming into Guatemala and ultimately into Mexico. | ||
| That is a red flag for the Mexican authorities and they're trying to infiltrate and with About 34,000 in El Salvador prisons of MS-13? | ||
| that are migrating, that mostly this caravan, 80 to 90% of it, it is people from, you know, from Venezuela and a lot of them from Cuba, Central America, and as I mentioned, the continent of Africa, sir. | ||
| About 34,000 in El Salvador prisons of MS-13, is that what you said? | ||
| Yeah, according to the Secretary of, Minister of Security in El Salvador, Villa Toro, he said that 34,500 gang members have been arrested and they're in prison right now. | ||
| That is why the exodus of these people, that they're trying to move to the places like Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and ultimately the domino effects are that they're trying to go to the United States of America and hide. | ||
| By the way, that's three-and-a-half army divisions. | ||
| Army divisions, roughly 10,000 men. | ||
| That's three-and-a-half army divisions of MS-13. | ||
| One of the most deadly gangs in the world, most brutal gangs in the world, in El Salvador prisons. | ||
| And that's the overflow and people avoiding that and getting out. | ||
| That's what's coming up through Mexico. | ||
| That's what you have in just the Daily Mail today, I think they announced. | ||
| 100 or 200 arrests. | ||
| Oscar, why don't you hang right there in Tapachula, and I'm gonna go to, let's get in Todd Bensman. | ||
| Todd, and I don't know if we have the footage right now. | ||
| Todd, you were down, and the footage you showed me the other day, and you put up on Getter, and we reposted, it absolutely blew me away. | ||
| This is Greyhound, and by the way, Greyhound Transit, the Greyhound Bus Lines and American Airlines are partners Basically partners with the cartels in transporting these people deep into the United States. | ||
| Walk me through what Greyhound and American and what your footage shows that they're just lining up getting on buses going into the interior of the United States, sir. | ||
| Right, well my big takeaway from the trip down there to Del Rio and Piedras Negras was That the Biden administration has punched so many holes in the Title 42 bowl that it can barely hold any water at all. | ||
| They are now exempting thousands and thousands of migrants that were being returned under Title 42 from Title 42, mostly people who are from all over the rest of the world, Cuba and Somalia and the Middle East and Asia. | ||
| All of those people are now being allowed right into the country, paroled straight in. | ||
| I watched it happen. | ||
| I learned that they are allowing thousands and thousands of these people who come right over the border to be paroled into the United States with a full year before they even have to report to ICE. | ||
| The way that they're doing this is two ways. | ||
| I watched it happen in front of me, you're seeing the video right now, which is that chartered buses, including Greyhound, the Greyhound company, are being used to move these people to 15 different states that I know of, or into the interior of America, where they're on their way to all these different states, and And also American Airlines, starting today, they're tripling their capacity. | ||
| The American Airlines company is tripling its capacity in the Del Rio Airport to bring, because the numbers are so sky high. | ||
| Title 42 was supposedly saved by a judge in Louisiana. | ||
| Man, that is off. | ||
| That is not happening at all. | ||
| If anybody's hoping that Title 42 is some kind of a savior thing, Look at my video right there. | ||
| Hang on, Todd and Oscar, please hang with us, we're going to take a break. | ||
| I've got Cleta Mitchell, a hit piece on Cleta Mitchell in the New York Times, which was really a paid advertisement for Cleta Mitchell and what she's doing on voter integrity. | ||
| We are so jammed today. | ||
| They're stacked up in the war room like planes over LaGuardia on a Sunday night. | ||
| Okay, but we're going to land them all. | ||
| to play. | ||
| Because the information is that important. | ||
| Okay, short break. | ||
| We've got Oscar Blue Ramirez in Tapachula, Mexico. | ||

| Okay, welcome back here at the War Room. | ||
| I've got Oscar and Tapachula, Todd Bensman putting it all together, and what he's telling you is very important for you to understand. | ||
| Title 42 is a sham right now. | ||
| Forget that. | ||
| You're not going to get saved by a federal court. | ||
| That's all a misdirection play right now. | ||
| The Biden administration, remember, they keep saying, oh, they didn't have a plan, no plan. | ||
| This is so well thought through, this invasion. | ||
| And remember, Biden and everybody around him, save your documents because you're getting impeached on this. | ||
| This is a well thought through plan of an invasion of the United States of America. | ||
| Plain and simple. | ||
| I don't care if the mainstream media doesn't like when I say it. | ||
| I don't care who likes it or who doesn't like it. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| We're getting to the bottom of this. | ||
| This is an invasion. | ||
| Another thing. | ||
| You want to know a MAGA policy? | ||
| Everybody that came into this is leaving the country. | ||
| Where they go and hit Mexico is their issue. | ||
| But they're getting out of the country. | ||
| We're not doing this. | ||
| We're not doing this. | ||
| You're not going to invade our nation. | ||
| Every person, and this is why Mo Brooks is going to lose the Senate race down there. | ||
| You vote for that $40 billion, you should be thrown out of Congress right now. | ||
| You should be thrown out of Congress right now. | ||
| It's a disgrace. | ||
| You're going to put $40 billion into the Russian-speaking border of Ukraine and allow this nation to be invaded and not do anything about it? | ||
| Look the other way? | ||
| Where's Abbott? | ||
| You got booed the other day. | ||
| Where's Abbott? | ||
| Where are all the executives in Texas? | ||
| Where's Ducey? | ||
| Where are the congressmen? | ||
| Don't give me a photo op. | ||
| Go down there and let's get something done. | ||
| This is an invasion. | ||
| And they're laughing at you. | ||
| Look at Bensman's photography. | ||
| Look at his video. | ||
| I want to go now to Cleta Mitchell. | ||
| Cleta, by the way, had a hit piece on her in the New York Times over the weekend. | ||
| It actually, I think, is a paid advertisement. | ||
| As soon as Denver gets it, let's put it up. | ||
| Cleta, tell us, why was the New York Times so upset with you and say that you're ruining democracy and you're responsible for the rise of authoritarian populism? | ||
| Because I've been busy all, you know, speaking of cancel culture, you know what happened to me because I was one of the lawyers who Worked for President Trump in the post election in Georgia in 2020. | ||
| And, um, they came after me and I resigned my partnership, uh, for 20 years in my law firm. | ||
| And since then, I've been working full time on election integrity for the Conservative Partnership Institute. | ||
| We formed the Election Integrity Network, which you see behind me. | ||
| And I have been, I am intent upon organizing and mobilizing citizens all over this country. | ||
| To watch every aspect of the election process, to train people, to educate people. | ||
| We have to take back our election offices, our election systems, and we have to be there because we let the left infiltrate and dominate the election process. | ||
| They have built an entire infrastructure for what I call now unsupervised or non-secret voting by mail. | ||
| That's what they want because that allows them to cheat. | ||
| And when I say citizens, let's get involved. | ||
| I've written a book, a little booklet, The Citizen's Guide to Building an Election Integrity Infrastructure. | ||
| And we're having summits across the country in different states. | ||
| We have one coming up in Raleigh, North Carolina, June 10th and 11th. | ||
| And go to the website. | ||
| I have a website www.whoscounting.us and sign up for the North Carolina summit. | ||
| We're getting ready to post one for Wisconsin for later in June. | ||
| And the whole point is we can't let the left have the election process to itself. | ||
| And that drives the New York Times and the Guardian and all the left-wing journalists. | ||
| It drives them crazy that citizens, hundreds of them, come out to these summits and sit there for hours and learn. | ||
| And it's not speeches. | ||
| It's training, training, training, training, and then deploying citizens So they know what's going on in their election offices, and they're watching absentee ballot processing, and they're making sure that the law is followed. | ||
| And for some reason, elections conducted in the rule of law is a threat to the New York Times. | ||
| They hate that. | ||
| This is why the Commonwealth of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin's governor, because they had 95% participation. | ||
| In Trump's 2020, they had 33%. | ||
| In the last gubernatorial they had 25%. | ||
| This time they had 95% and they were well-trained. | ||
| And we need people on watch and well-trained. | ||
| Once again, they're workshops. | ||
| Tell people, how did they get... I want everybody, particularly in North Carolina, I want all the patriots to go to this summit. | ||
| I want the summit in Wisconsin to be overflowing. | ||
| This is action, action, action. | ||
| Once again, give the network that CPI is your partner in. | ||
| How do people get their CLEDA? | ||
| How do they sign up and what are they going to get? | ||
| Well, go to www.whoscounting.us. | ||
| That's www.whoscounting.us. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| www.whoscounting.us. | ||
| And there you can sign up for the North Carolina Summit. | ||
| Registration is open now. | ||
| And it's at the Marriott in Raleigh. | ||
| I don't know which one, but it's on the website. | ||
| And you sign up. | ||
| And here's what you learn. | ||
| We start on Friday nights. | ||
| We show the movie Rigged, where we talk about how Mark Zuckerberg basically manipulated the outcome of the 2020 election. | ||
| And then we talk about that and how we can make sure that doesn't happen ever again. | ||
| And then starting early the next morning, we have training on How to build a local election integrity task force to watch your local election office. | ||
| Just as parents are coming out of the woodwork to take back their school boards, we need to do the same thing in the election office. | ||
| And then we have training about what is the absentee ballot processing system in your state? | ||
| What are the election machines that are used in your state? | ||
| How can citizens oversee those machines and oversee the tabulators and make sure that they're not connected to the internet and that they're balanced in the morning and at night? | ||
| And that you have things like, how about the fact that the number of ballots cast needs to match the number of voters who voted? | ||
| All of those kinds of things. | ||
| If Democrats don't cheat, they don't win. | ||
| That's exactly right. | ||
| If you don't cheat, if you can't cheat, they can't win. | ||
| And then we just get boom. | ||
| Hey, go hang out on MSNBC and talk. | ||
| Real quickly, what's your social media? | ||
| How do people get to you, Cleta? | ||
| Well, just go to the website or follow me, Cleta Mitchell. | ||
| I'm on Twitter, although most of the things I get on Twitter are those hateful leftists attacking me. | ||
| But go to the Facebook page for Who's Counting. | ||
| We're going to be putting out training videos. | ||
| Go download that Citizen's Guide. | ||
| The Citizen's Guide at www.whoscounting.us. | ||
| Get involved. | ||
| Take back our elections. | ||
| Cleta Mitchell, your star. | ||
| Short break. |
