Trump ally Steve Bannon announced a protest at Cutler's home.
steve bannon
We're getting on the road and we're going down to Cutler.
unidentified
We're going to start going to offices and if we have to, we're going to go to homes and we're going to let them know what we think about them.
There were multiple protests. I actually don't remember the exact number.
There was at least three, I think, outside either my district office or my home.
nicolle wallace
This is, normalized isn't strong enough.
This is being operationalized on the right, this tactic of mob protest.
And I wanted to clip that Bannon soundbite about how horrific it is, because it's horrific to do it to anybody.
But as Jason said, the...
The winners and losers are chosen in terms of who we protect.
We should protect everybody.
And frankly, if we healed the sickness of our politics, there wouldn't be incitements to violence.
But Donald Trump's incitements to violence are ongoing.
The Thursday of the first public hearing, he described the insurrection as the greatest moment in the MAGA movement.
Not only has he not condemned any of the acts of his supporters, he continues to be enthusiastic about them.
unidentified
Yeah, what did he say the day of, Nicole?
You know, we love you and remember this day forever, something along those lines.
You know, those messages aren't lost on the millions of people that are following Donald Trump.
And you just mentioned Bannon.
I don't know if I should admit this, but occasionally I listen to Bannon's podcast, The War Room, to understand what he is saying to these audiences.
He calls the younger generation of people that follow him his assassins.
Right.
He doesn't call them his acolytes or his lieutenants or the digital guy.
He calls them his assassins.
They are thinking about politics as violence.
That has become institutionalized in the Republican Party now.
And, you know, I was just talking the other day to a Republican congressman that quit the party and left during Donald Trump's rise.
And just the other week, he was given a speech in the Midwest to a couple hundred people, largely Republican audience.
And he went in worried that maybe a fourth of the audience would say that the election was stolen, but he wanted to get a sense.
And he asked the question to the crowd, how many of you think the election was stolen from Donald Trump?
And he said, almost 100% of the audience raised their hands.
He asked a second question, how many of you think that the January 6th insurrection was a peaceful protest?
Again, almost 100% raised their hands.
We are not talking about rare instances of.
Who was that snowflake?
are talking about the masses being brainwashed around this rhetoric that's being used for violence. What Jason just mentioned about the election worker, I agree, was an extremely powerful scene and it's just the tiniest tip of an iceberg.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome to your afternoon brainwashing session. Who was that snowflake? Please let me know. No, we refer to like the Jennifer Seniors, the people that write these hit pieces They're the assassins, like the assassins at the Washington Post.
However, however, we do have our assassins, the Natalie Winters of the world, right?
All these young Turks that are up writing these pieces.
It's a metaphor, Snowflake.
Don't get all worried.
He's wetting himself.
Gonna hug his teddy bear and wet himself tonight.
The sickness of our politics.
Yes, we're taking care of the sickness of our politics because of the participatory populism.
They hated MSNBC.
We're going to cure the sickness.
There is a sickness in our politics and we're going to cure it, Nicole Wallace.
Not with the lies and misrepresentations.
You as a war criminal, all the lies you did to lie about the Iraq War and Afghanistan and all the people dead and all the PSD and all the money wasted that you did in the war criminal Cheney and Bush's White House.
No, that's not what we're going to do.
We're going to cure the sickness of the politics at the ballot box.
We're going to have an overwhelming victory.
Whereas CNN, The Daily Caller's got this great piece that Asian-Americans are, guess what, flocking to the MAGA cause more and more each day.
We're not backing off one inch.
Not one inch.
We are rallying people.
We're getting people to volunteer.
We got Cleta Mitchell on, who they trash-talked all afternoon.
Cleta Mitchell's on in the next hour.
What is Cleta doing?
This weekend in Wisconsin, there's another workshop.
These workshops have been, you know, they can't even fit as many people in as they want to attend.
These are workshops to be poll workers, poll watchers, canvassers, all of it, to make sure that never again, ever again, ever again, can they ever steal an election.
We're going to clear, we're going to cure Nicole Wallace, the sickness in our politics at the ballot box where we have an overwhelming A progressive AOC woke green shard over there in the corner and a neoliberal neocon the one that you were the mouthpiece for.
Destroy the Democratic Party as a national political institution.
So it goes into shards. A progressive AOC woke green shard over there in the corner and a neoliberal neocon, the one that you were the mouthpiece for. I don't know how you sleep at night.
All the dead, all the injured, all the PTSD, all the suicides that you and there's other people at MSNBC.
They're all all Bush acolytes are up there. Lied every day.
Lied. Look, people in the right in the eye and lied.
We're not going to lie to you, we're going to defeat you.
We're going to defeat you and then they're going to have a housecleaning at MSNBC because they got to because Rachel Maddow's gone.
The whole thing's just spinning out of control.
And they'll have a housecleaning there and you'll become, you know, MSNBC lite.
I want to bring in Liz Yor.
Liz, they're talking about, oh, they got this.
They got these assassins.
There actually is an assassin.
I think there's a federal grand jury.
There is an assassin that MSNBC never talks about.
That's the one instigated by them and all these demons.
All these demons that are up there, outside here, the Supreme Court, that want to shut down the Supreme Court.
We're not even having a classic end to the Supreme Court session.
Why?
Because of the threats of violence of these radical groups.
But we know it's okay, because this morning Mike Davis was on, you were on, and Merrick Garland's going to get on top of this.
But wait for it.
Where's Merrick Garland?
Where have you been on the show?
Where's Merrick?
Merrick Garland is in the Ukraine.
I'm not making this up.
And they did this on purpose this week with the Supreme Court situation.
He's in the Ukraine.
He's never been to the southern border, but he's in the Ukraine worried about the eastern border Ukraine.
And guess what he's doing?
He's talking about tribunals for war criminals, Russian war criminals.
That's what he's spending his time on.
He's in the third most corrupt nation on earth, in the Ukraine.
She had billions of dollars, third most corrupt nation on earth, talking to their Attorney General.
I'm sure she's a piece of work.
Why don't they talk about getting our money back from the oligarchs?
Liz, you can't make this up.
Somebody get that snowflake's name.
He's a listener, so I want him to continue to listen.
Seriously, I want you to continue to listen.
And I do respect your point of view, and I'm sorry, we'll pat you on the head.
I'm sorry if you can't sleep at night.
Because of the participatory populism and the rise of the populist nationalist right.
Sorry, not sorry, Liz you're.
liz yore
Well, Steve, Merrick Garland is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the United States, not Ukraine.
And he's also not the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, nor of the UN.
And Ukraine has its own public prosecutor.
And it's become abundantly clear and troubling, very troubling, that this administration throughout is more concerned and putting more emphasis on Ukraine than it is the United States.
And this is what Garland said.
He announced the launch of a war crimes accountability team that will be responsible for overseeing the administration's work to hold the people accountable for war crimes in Ukraine.
Again, the Biden and Garland administration is using federal taxpayer dollars for Ukraine.
And you know, what is what is absolutely astounding to me is that, you know, here we have a border that is under siege.
He's not interested in that.
As you pointed out, he didn't go there.
We have a how about a fentanyl accountability team?
Last year, we had 100,000 American young people who died from fentanyl.
How about an accountability team in the Justice Department for that?
Or how about an accountability team for the 14,000 unaccompanied minors that crossed the border just last month?
That was a 22% increase from the month before.
So how about a gang accountability team that looks into the absolute Burning of our cities, the destroying of the African American communities, our border, the chaos in our skies, the formula crisis, the suspicious fires and spontaneous combustion
How about the Department of Justice having an accountability task force and team to look into the real problems in the United States?
But no, he has to go over and look at domestic and international issues in the Ukraine and says that the Department of Justice will be, get this, I love this, will be relentless, relentless In our efforts to hold accountable every person complicit in the commission of war crimes, torture, and grave violations during the unprovoked conflict in Ukraine.
I mean, look, this is the $43 billion movie on Ukraine that's coming, you know, with Ben Stiller, with Sean Penn, with Angelie Jolie, with Nancy Pelosi and everybody traipsing over there, and now Merrick Garland.
I mean, if the situation in our country weren't so serious and so dire, with the violence already underway because of a pending Supreme Court case, and the Attorney General is trotting over to Ukraine in something he has no business being in, And the U.S.
Attorney's Offices aren't cracking down on MS-13, on fentanyl, on child pornography, on human trafficking, on violent gang crimes.
I mean, this is the rule of law has all disappeared and dissipated in the United States.
And, you know, that's why we in the war room are insistent that the rule of law be treated and dispersed equally.
Equally among all Americans and that crimes against Americans are investigated first not last if at all So, you know, this is you know, we were laughing earlier today.
He's where he's in the Ukraine and With everything that's happening on our streets in the United States.
But, you know, this is a pattern that we're going to see with Joe Biden.
steve bannon
Liz, you've been a former prosecutor.
You have the anarchy and chaos in our cities driven by these DAs.
He doesn't have task force on.
You've talked about Tiger Teams.
He doesn't have a task force there.
You've got an invasion on the border.
We're going to Todd Benz.
We've got Burquam down there.
You're going to see we've got Burquam and Todd Benz.
Burquam's there.
Benzman's there to provide context.
And you've got 50 jihadis, or 50 terrorists have been picked up in this thing.
233,000 last month, another record, or close to a record.
And then you've got the Supreme Court problems with these guys threatening to lock down the city.
The city's in complete lockdown up on Capitol Hill, around the Capitol.
The Supreme Court's got chain fences around.
You can't even get up to it to take a photo with your kids.
Those three things, they did this on purpose.
They wanted to show the American people where their priorities are.
Their priorities are in the Ukraine.
Forty billion is not going to the southern border to stop the invasion.
Forty billion is going to protect the sovereignty and self-determination of the Ukrainian people.
The sovereignty of that border.
Not the sovereignty of the American border or the sovereignty of the American people.
Those three massive areas that are like a house on fire right now on crime and drugs and human trafficking, no.
He's over there and they're rubbing your nose in it.
Do you think middle class, you know, suburban voters, how do you think they're going to weigh and measure this?
Not the mega hardcore.
I'm talking about the average person that just kind of cuts the news on every now and again.
How do you think they'll respond?
liz yore
Steve, between inflation, between the gas prices, between the shortages of baby formula, between, you know, fentanyl, drug crisis, we know what's going on in the schools.
They've lost the middle class.
I have said this for months.
They've lost the mama bears and the parents who are in the school boards.
We want peace and we want the rule of law.
That's all Americans want.
Just peace and the rule of law.
We'll raise our families.
We'll work hard.
We'll do our level best to be the good citizens that we swore to be.
But my God, this is a country on fire.
And they are, you know, look, I guess they're all following Hunter Biden's lead, right?
Everybody cares about Ukraine.
Like Hunter Biden cares about Ukraine.
So, you know, it's they've lost the middle class.
They're not going to come back.
They're doubling down on CRT and trans and all the other sexual grooming curriculum.
It's over.
But we have to restore peace and order, law and order on our streets for the sake of the poor people.
And the African-Americans, and the impoverished.
They're the ones that the Democratic Party are throwing to the criminals.
It's a shooting gallery in the major cities of this country, and the Department of Justice is missing in action.
steve bannon
He'll be impeached starting in January, so says Mike Davis.
We're going to put this whole case together.
Real quickly, what's your social media?
How do people get your podcast?
liz yore
My podcast is Lifesite News, Faith and Reason.
I'm everywhere under Elizabeth Yorr.
My website's Your Children.
steve bannon
Liz Yorr, you're a warrior, not an assassin.
Don't want to have the snowflake get all upset that I called Liz Yorr an assassin.
Liz, love you, baby.
Don't ever change.
unidentified
Thanks, Steve.
Thanks.
steve bannon
We're going to the border next.
We're going to show you where Merrick Garland should be.

With Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, Walmart has kicked out Mike Lindell, so we need everybody to the ramparts.
Go to MyPillow.com.
Promo code WAR and we got the great classic pillow, 1988.
That was the Walmart price, now it's your price, direct to you.
Mike wants to keep the production lines totally up and running, everybody employed.
And by the way, it was a very profitable pillow, a very profitable SKU, that's what they call it in the industry, SKU, for Walmart.
They threw it out anyway, you know why?
Because they don't support Mike Lindell's patriotism.
It's cancel culture.
So go to MyPillow.com, promo code War Room.
You've got to buy one, get one free, across the board.
You've got the biblical pillow and blanket.
You've got the slippers.
But most importantly, first time you get the classic from 1988, go check it out today.
Let's go to where Merrick Garland should not be.
Let me be blunt.
The Attorney General of the United States should not be some performative It's disgusting and a disgrace.
And I can't wait till we blow these guys out.
That's a metaphor.
In November, a crushing blow to this crowd.
And every day we're going to be hammering on what Mike Davis, in fact we're going to get Mike Davis up at the 6 o'clock hour.
He's going to talk about the specifics.
And Davis, look.
He was Grassley's right-hand man on Judiciary.
I think he clerked for Gorsuch.
He's been a guy that's, he got those confirmation hearings done.
This guy's a heavyweight.
He's calling this morning for the impeachment of Merrick Garland and others.
And that hearings have to take place immediately upon the Republicans taking office.
We're going to get to more of that at six o'clock hour.
But let's go to where Merrick Garland should be.
He's never been there.
Let's go to the border of the United States.
Sierra Vista, Arizona.
One of the most beautiful places in the country.
Absolutely amazing place.
Amazing people.
Ben Bernkwam, Real America's Voice.
I don't want to call you an assassin because I can't have the snowflake.
And I want him to keep listening.
I want him to download every day.
Ben Bernkwam, you're a hammer.
Real America's Voice has done the best coverage of the border of anybody.
It's just been amazing.
You're there with a very special sheriff.
Tell us who you got, and we're going to put your footage up.
Tell us what you guys have been up to down there.
ben bergquam
Hey Steve, we just got done a night operation down in Douglas, Arizona.
We were out there till 5 a.m.
this morning watching group after group after group of criminal illegal aliens that are being brought over by the cartels, sent into Douglas, Arizona, and then ultimately shipped around the country.
We got a video of Truckload after truckload of fighting-age men that are simply being led into our country, brought into our country because of the policies of Joe Biden.
Talking to Border Patrol down there, they said all of their resources are being pulled to go to places like Yuma and to Eagle Pass and these places where we have these fake asylum seekers that are coming in because of Joe Biden's policies.
And it's communities like this and Sheriff Daniels of Cochise County that are having to pay the price and actually step in with the federal government Should be.
I'm here with Sheriff Daniels of Cochise County.
It's an absolute honor.
These guys are the guys on the front lines putting their life in, you know, in danger every single day when you're doing a job that the federal government should be doing.
To the War Room audience, sir, how bad is it and what are you guys doing here to backfill what Merrick Garland, what Secretary Maracas, and what Joe Biden in Washington should be doing?
unidentified
Well, thanks, Ben.
Thanks, Steve.
Good seeing you again.
Let me just say this, along with my other 30 counties here on the southwest border, it's, in my 38 years of law enforcement, this is the worst I've ever seen it.
Under public safety, national security, and humanitarian, from the deaths on the border, to the people coming across our border, the threats they're presenting to this country, and last, the public safety issue, the drugs.
The violent criminals.
I mean, you name it, we're seeing it.
Since July 1 of 2021 till May, we had 950, just under, border-related bookings for criminals that came to Cochise County, primarily of U.S.
citizens, coming down here to smuggle, to take the illegals to all parts of the country.
And they've arrested everything from failure to yield, to pursuits, to murder, you name it.
We've seen it in our county.
It's incredible what we're seeing, something I've never seen before.
I'll just say this bluntly, is we try to engage, national sheriffs have tried to engage with this administration all the way up to President Biden, and I'm telling you, it has not worked.
So we're absent the federal government.
But I'll just say this to you.
Working collectively with our local, state, and federal partners talking about the badges, law enforcement.
We run Safe Street operations weekly.
We're out here every day going after the smuggler drivers, trying to stop this, trying to change that cartel behavior who's exploiting this country in a negative way.
And the lack of absence, excuse me, the absence of the federal government to do their job.
It's frustrating for anybody who wears a badge down here.
It's so frustrating.
ben bergquam
And you swore the same oath that they've sworn.
Do you feel that they've abandoned that, that they've broken that oath?
unidentified
Completely.
The federal government has a mandate to secure our borders.
They have a mandate to protect America, just like I do as a sheriff, just like governors do.
Congress, and I talked to them about this whole thing, too.
I testified twice in front of Congress over the last few months.
They have to secure this border and protect America.
And right now, they are failing to do their job.
And it starts with President Biden and his messaging.
And the message is very clear.
Open borders.
Two and a half more years of this.
ben bergquam
Go ahead, Steve, yeah.
steve bannon
Ben, hang on one second.
Sheriff, as you sit there today, and the good folks in Cochise County, and you see Merrick Garland in Ukraine, never been down to the border, in Ukraine, talking about war criminal activity in Ukraine, how does that set with you and the folks down in Cochise County?
unidentified
Well, I'll expand that thought, Steve, to the Vice President Harris, to President Biden, to our congressional leaders.
They're not coming to see us.
We have some GOP folks that have been to Texas and Arizona.
But really, every congressional member in Congress needs to be on this border.
This is their country, their border.
But I see them going to Ukraine.
I see them going all over the world.
But I don't see them coming here to our southwest border that is affecting us.
I mean, you look at 300 people a day are dying of drug overdoses.
The cartels are just making billions of dollars Tell us one other question.
steve bannon
Tell us about Cochise County.
I know it's got a big Hispanic population.
What do the folks there think?
Do they think the federal government's abandoned them to just the cartels and to this onslaught from throughout the world that's invading the country?
Tell us about the county and the folks down there and where their heads are at.
unidentified
Well, we're just a little bit about Cochise County.
We've got 83 miles of our national border.
We're the 38th largest landmass county in the country with just under 6,300 square miles.
It's a huge county.
We sit in the southeast corner of the state.
What we see in our counties is almost 100% gottaways.
These are the people that can't give up, like you see in Eagle Pass, Del Rio, Yuma.
These are people that are aggravated from countries of interest, you name it, that are being smuggled by the cartels at a very high price.
And the people in this county, they're frustrated.
We've seen death in my county that we've never seen at this level.
They know we're being exploited by the cartels, and they know the federal government's absent.
I'm not talking about the Border Patrol agents.
I applaud them.
I'm talking about the federal government, the leadership in Congressional Congress, both Senate and House, and our President, Vice President, Secretary Mayorkas, who has failed to act on this border.
And I'll just say this to you, Steve.
I watch his interviews about, hey, we got manageable control on this border.
Folks, I'll tell you that is complete false.
We do not have manual patrol on this border.
I mean, when you're having the numbers that we're seeing on the southwest border right now, and the gotaways, the thousands that are getting away every day, every month, we have a national security, public safety, and I'm telling you, 9-11, sad to say, 9-11 woke this country up.
9-11.
We need to think about what happened and how they took a country that was vulnerable at the time.
We did so many good things and we've forgotten that.
We need to remember 9-11 because we're going to be in bad shape in this country.
steve bannon
But Ben, you've been the number one reporter out there anywhere.
That's just a magnificent job.
Talk to me about your work with the sheriff and talk to me what you're seeing down there.
ben bergquam
Well, I've been all over, Steve, from here down to Panama, the Darien Gap, and every time I go, I get asked the question, how bad is it?
And the answer is always, it's worse than you can imagine, and every time I come, it's worse than that.
Being out there, we were out there all night last night, and watching these Border Patrol agents scattering back and forth, trying to chase down These criminal illegal aliens, these, some of the most ruthless people on the planet that are being brought in.
It is shocking and the crazy thing is we're down here covering this, nobody else, I haven't seen a single report on this.
They finally just released, because of our reporting two weeks ago, the chief of this sector, border patrol sector, finally released some video.
Hundreds, hundreds coming across at a time, putting the ladders up.
It is all controlled by the cartels.
We've got video of these ladder groups that are on the Mexico side.
And Border Patrol's beyond exhausted.
These guys are stretched too thin.
And like the Sheriff said, our country is vulnerable to another attack.
We are committing national suicide.
We're going to be riding with the Sheriff and doing some interdiction.
We're going to keep bringing it to you.
This needs to be exposed.
And the one thing I would ask all of our audience, all of the War Room Posse, is share this information.
America needs to see it.
They're not seeing it on mainstream media.
You've got to share this information.
America's got to wake up.
We have to save this country.
steve bannon
I want everybody to be a force multiplier in all this footage we get.
Last question, Sheriff.
Do the good folks in Cochise County, these hard-working blue-collar folks, do they feel their government has abandoned them?
Do they feel abandoned right now?
unidentified
They do.
They do.
We went from one of the safest counties on the southwest border to one of the most vulnerable counties, and mainly because of the gotaway picture that we have going on in Cochise County and in the Tucson sector.
We lead the nation in gotaways.
Thousands, thousands.
Just reading an article today again.
That was consistent in 2021 fiscal year, and it's consistent as we sit and talk today, stand and talk.
So it is.
The people are frustrated.
The ranching community, the farming, agriculture community, they're very frustrated.
People are just fed up with it.
I'll just say that.
And you can talk to, you might find one out of ten that might say something different.
But the majority of people, if not 90% or higher, are just fed up with it.
I do the job I do in this county, stand up for the rule of law, the oath of office, because the people in this county support me and want me to do that.
And we'll continue doing it.
And if they say, Sheriff, we don't want you to do it anymore, I don't know.
This is what I, I've been doing this for 38 years.
I'm not going to change who I am now.
steve bannon
Sheriff, any social media, how do people get to you and follow you?
unidentified
You can get to us by Cochise County Sheriff's Office.
You can go to our Facebook page.
We put snapshots almost every day of different arrests we're making, different pursuits we're involved with, different border crimes.
You can see that.
I mean, as Ben's saying, my team's getting tired, too.
They really are.
They're paying right now.
We had a tenant in a vehicle there today.
It ran from us.
Ended up hitting one of the law enforcement cars, side swiped it almost.
It ran over an officer.
That driver was getting $23,000.
steve bannon
You guys hang on.
We're going to take a short break.
We'll be back.
We're going to Cochise County.
Sierra Vista in a moment.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, I've asked the sheriff and Ben to just hang on for a few minutes.
I know they're busy, but this is too important in the first part of the interview that just blew out.
The audience is just overwhelmed and quite upset and quite angry to what's happening, not to the country, also our country, obviously, but also the good folks down there in Cochise County.
Todd Bensman.
Give us some perspective.
I saw the numbers from May.
It's more out of control than ever.
You wrote the book on jihadists.
I saw there were 50 that have been terrorists on the terrorist list that have been rounded up.
And I saw the blue check media laughing at people when they started to mention that.
Walk us through.
You've heard the sheriff.
You've heard what's happening in Cochise County.
You've seen Ben's footage.
Put this in perspective what we've seen from the month of May and what's happening now with Merrick Garland is over in Ukraine worried about Russian war criminals meeting with the third most corrupt nation on earth, Ukraine, the Attorney General.
Do you think he's mentioned anything about where our money went?
All the money's been stolen?
All taxpayer money's been stolen that didn't go to the border but went over there so the oligarchs and the Biden crime family and all these people could skim it right off the top.
Do you think he mentioned that?
I don't think that's going to be in the readout.
Todd Bensman.
todd bensman
Well, first of all, we have insight into how many gotaways have penetrated the country from a Texas court case.
703,000 that we know of gotaways since Inauguration Day.
So that's going to be an undercount because there are fewer Border Patrol agents on the ground To report footsteps or footprints in the sand and that sort of thing.
But 703,000, it's probably closer to double that number.
The issue with the gotaways is that those who are running and hoping to graduate to gotaway status, a great many of them are going to be criminal aliens that they know the second that they're caught are going to be kicked back and deported to wherever they're coming from.
of violent criminals, aggravated criminals, people who are felons of all different stripes.
If you go to the CBP's newsroom website, just their newsroom, and scroll down there, every other press release is about a criminal alien that they caught, sex assault, pedophiles, every possible kind of terrible crime.
Hundreds and hundreds of these things.
I didn't even bother to count them up, but they give you a good idea of why the Gottaway number is so important and is so much of a contributing factor to the crisis.
Now, in talking about the Gottaways, we also need to talk about, now, these new numbers that have come out about people on the terrorist watch list.
50 of them.
So far this year, listen, I've been working with those numbers.
My book, America's Cover of Border War, is all about that issue.
We typically, in normal times, get about 20 a year that are on the watch list, caught at the border or coming through Mexico.
We have 15 just in the month of May, just in the month of May, and 50 since January.
Uh, and if you think that that's just a tiny number compared to, you know, the 700,000 and, and, and the 3 million altogether that have been, uh, that have gotten into the country, uh, just consider that very small numbers of these kinds of criminals sent us to war for 20 years in Afghanistan.
Small numbers, gigantic consequences.
If we caught 50, if we caught 15 last month, I will bet a paycheck that more actually got through to the interior.
They are in the country taking advantage of the fact that our border patrol have been redeployed to South Texas to do processing and babysitting duties.
steve bannon
I just want to go through and make sure people understand the main number.
I think it was 233,000.
I think it was $233,000.
todd bensman
That's apprehended.
steve bannon
$230,000.
That's more than the combined, or roughly, I think it was $256,000, the combined operations of the Canadians, the British, and the Americans on 6 June 1944, D-Day.
That's every month.
That does not include, we'll make sure, that does not include the getaways, the gotaways, correct?
That's just the ones that have either caught or officially turned themselves in?
todd bensman
That's right.
There might be another 50 to 60,000 gotaways.
Remember, that's always an undercount right now.
But I want to point out that through this Texas lawsuit, Texas v. Biden lawsuit, the DHS has to provide monthly reports of the number of people that they have Allowed in that they apprehended and paroled in.
And those numbers are huge.
1.3 million since inauguration day have been paroled in.
And if you count the, the 700,000, then you're looking at, you know, 2 million people have been allowed into the country or gotten into the country and multiply that by the next 16 months.
It'll probably be much higher than that.
And you're looking at 4 million, and if you go through to the end of the Biden administration, you're looking at 6 million plus once they drop Title 42.
These aren't crazy prognostications.
That's the trajectory that we're on, a city the size of Los Angeles into the country by the end of the Biden administration, at least.
At least.
steve bannon
Sheriff Daniels, when you hear those kind of numbers, the scale of it, I know you see it every day, but you're so wrapped up in it.
What does that lead you to believe the future of this country is?
unidentified
Well, first of all, I appreciate Todd speaking out on that.
That's been a shell game when it comes to the numbers.
What we see on the Board of Sheriffs that have been truly engaged in this, we're seeing those releases, those catching releases, those ones being paroled into our country.
So it's nice when you have an expert like Todd that comes out and says, yes, there was an article that came out today that also substantiated the same thing.
This is the shell game of numbers DHS is playing as Secretary of Myorcus.
So it's nice to see that.
This is a concern every American, every law enforcement has in this country, state, local, and federal, that's alarming.
What are we setting our country up for?
And I tell you right now, it's failure.
Because we're not protecting our borders, which means we're not protecting our country.
steve bannon
Sheriff, once again, can you give your Facebook page, particularly where you put up activity of your group?
I know people will want to go check it out.
unidentified
It's the Cochise County Sheriff's Office Facebook page.
If you go to the Facebook page, you'll see different segments.
And what I call attention to that too, Steve, is look at the comments from my community and beyond.
The positive, reinforcing comments that are saying, thank you Sheriff, thank you Border Patrol, thank you the troopers, and thank you to our local law enforcement because we're standing up in absent of the federal government because they're not doing their job.
And when I see President Biden, Vice President Harris, Secretary Mayorkas, Attorney General Garland, going other places besides their own American border.
What's that say to us down here?
We're America's second, and that's a slap in our face.
But I promise you this, Steve, and all your viewers, we won't give up hope.
We're going to continue this fight.
We're going to do everything we can.
We're going to keep going after the cartels.
That's my oath of office.
That's what I was elected to do in Cochise County, along with my fellow sheriffs.
steve bannon
Ben Berquam, I know you got a new series coming up.
Tell people how to get to you.
You're on the Real America Voice Show.
Every access to the Real America's Voice app and also all your social media.
ben bergquam
Yeah, one thing I just want to mention, Todd mentioned it or equated it to the city of the size of Los Angeles.
By the time Joe Biden is out of office, if he makes it another two and a half years, we're talking about a population that we've allowed to invade our country that's larger than more than half of the states of this nation.
That's the numbers that we're talking about.
We're talking about a complete invasion, the destruction of this country.
If you want to see it, our new show is called Law & Border.
We just had a new episode out this last Saturday.
We've got a new one coming, our Panama special that is incredible.
It's going to expose so much of this controlled flow idea and the invasion that the Democrats are inviting in.

Sheriff, always an honor to have you on here, sir.
Make sure the people in Cochise County know the worm's got their back.
unidentified
I will.
steve bannon
Todd Bensman.
Thanks, brother.
Todd Bensman.
The scale, when you and I first talked about this, you know, years ago, the scale of this, this has to be acts of commission.
I want you to walk through the technical aspects of how, this is not chaotic, this is not something they're not prepared for, this is not something, this is as thoroughly thought through, if you think the Biden administration is incompetent, they may be on the economy or other things, on this one, baby, They have thought this through to the fifth decimal place.
Todd Bensman.
todd bensman
Well, all through the campaign in 2020, they let us know exactly what they were going to do.
They wanted to end deportation, as we know it.
They wanted to end detention.
And they wanted to provide what they called a safe, orderly, and humane pathway into the United States with amnesty eventually.
Everything that they have done piecemeal, by piece, by piece, by piece, systematically has contributed to an outcome that has eliminated deportation, has eliminated most detention, has provided a pathway, an orderly pathway for millions of people into the country.
So in that sense, it was very well thought out, planned, and they're achieving their objectives as we go along.
Um, and if I could just say one more thing, I kind of hear the music, but, uh, about Arizona, uh, there, there is a, um, a massive state operation happening in Texas.
It has its critics.
I understand that.
But one thing that Texas DPS does.
Is that they can fill some of the gaps where runners, like what they're talking about in Arizona, at least get caught.
They at least get caught by the Texas DPS.
They don't turn them back to Mexico.
But where is Governor Ducey?
I think that's a fair question.
Where is the Arizona Department of Public Safety?
They could be filling the holes that Ben is reporting on right now.
People are, these ladder crews where they're just hauling over the border, over the wall like that, that is an easy fix if you had state troopers filling that gap and not just a couple of deputies that have to watch it through binoculars.
I'll just throw that out there.
steve bannon
No, you're saying, I just want to make sure people know this, that this is not about putting people on buses and sending them up to Washington, D.C.
You're saying the Texas Rangers and DPS are helping the local sheriffs, at least, and you're not seeing that in Arizona.
You're not seeing any state assets there to help the sheriffs in Cochise County.
Is that your point?
todd bensman
Yeah, I'm just raising the question, like, where is Governor Ducey and the Arizona Department of Public Safety?
steve bannon
Because it's simple.
The Chamber of Commerce Republicans, country Republicans, want the cheap labor.
This is why Texas has been a mess for years.
Remember, Texas and Arizona have been controlled by Republicans.
These establishment Republicans, they want the cheap labor.
The Democrats want the free votes.
That's what the scam's been for 20 and 30 years.
That's what we're paying for.
todd bensman
A significant portion of those runners climbing the wall are going to be hard-bitten criminals.
steve bannon
Todd Benzman, you've done an amazing job.
I know you're working on something new, but walk through.
How do people get you on social media?
You're a former intelligence officer with the Texas DPS.
You're one of the best writers out there.
I want people to get your social media and your website.
todd bensman
You can find me at T. Benzman Getter at Getter.
BenzmanTodd at Twitter.
And my book is all about this jihadist threat These numbers coming across, if you really want to understand what that's about, just get the book, America's Covert Border War, and learn because this is going to become a problem as we go forward in these conditions.
steve bannon
A city the size of Los Angeles by the time of what Biden's allowed in the country.
A city the size of Los Angeles or more than 50% of our states.
We're obsessed with this and we're not going to back off.
This is why these guys are all going to get impeached.
Gotta play hardball.
Short commercial break.

Unplugged.com slash war room.
Go check it out.
Mo, two things.
By the way, Naomi Wolf, we need more time.
The Border Stuff was so amazing that we're going to have Naomi on tomorrow morning, but we are going to finish in the break between the 5 and the 6 o'clock show.
I want to hear some of the madness that was on Morning Joe this morning.
Maureen, first off, I got to ask you about Tom Fitton, the great guys are Judicial Watch on this Freedom of Information.
You've been on this for a while, your beloved West Point.
Have they been lying to people?
Are they indoctrinating these cadets up there in CRT, ma'am?
maureen bannon
A hundred percent.
They've been lying to the American public and they've been doing it for over two years.
Back in the fall of 2020, I called out that there was a course In the Behavioral Science and Leadership Department, which teaches psychology, philosophy, things like that, sociology, and the course was called Race, Gender, and Sexuality, and it was an introduction to the concepts of race, gender, and sexuality in the American political system.
And I just want to read to you some of the books that were on the list of required textbooks.
Critical Race Theory, An Introduction, Race, Gender, Sexuality and Social Class, Dimensions of Inequality and Identity, A Critical Introduction to Queer Theory, and Feminist Thought, A More Comprehensive Introduction.
So this has been going on.
This course has actually been at the Academy since 2018, and so it was brought to my attention back in 2020.
That it was being taught and I called them out and I know they were doing different types of training back in 2020 after May of 2020 to talk about white privilege and they had officers coming up and saying that they were sorry for their white privilege and things like that and now we see with this report from Judicial Watch that it's occurring all across the academy
And the training that they've uncovered is 600 pages worth of slides and different handouts and worksheets to be done.
And Judicial Watch actually had to sue the military twice in order to get those documents released.
So it's very troubling.
And what is West Point trying to hide that they would not, you know, release these documents immediately?
steve bannon
Yeah, no, I know you've been on this for a while.
We'll talk to Mark, because I know you've had command of, I think one time, what, two-thirds of your NCOs were minorities.
The military is obviously very integrated.
It's got to be.
There's so many brave, patriot, African Americans and Hispanics that are volunteers, an all-volunteer force.
But you get into this ideology, and then I think what upsets people is that they hit it.
They were confronted with this.
A lot of graduates like you, I know, and other people associated with it.
Parents have been have been all over folks and they just didn't deal with it in a straight way.
And of course, the whole honor code up there, you kind of you kind of ask questions like who's in charge and how are they making decisions and how much political pressure are they getting from the radicals on Capitol Hill and from inside the Biden White House?
Give us this.
Go ahead, ma'am.
maureen bannon
Yes.
Frustrating not only that it's being taught, but like you said, it's infuriating that they hid it.
And the fact that President Trump said, while he was still in the White House before the 2020 election, that critical race theory needed to be stopped being taught at the service academies.
And the current superintendent disobeyed that order and continued to teach it.
And now we see this occurring across the academy.
steve bannon
Well, that's where we're getting to more tomorrow.
I had this huge problem at the Air Force Academy.
We've got, I'll tell you what, Naomi Wolf, we're going to try to get her tomorrow.
There's a bunch of stuff on Morning Joe we're not going to have time for.
The 6 o'clock show, we've got Mike Davis, I've got Cleta Mitchell, we've got Joe Kent.
This show's on fire.
Raymond Abraham, Moe's going to join us at 6.
It's on fire.
I'm going to get Naomi tomorrow.
Ron DeSantis has taken a tough stand down in Florida on these vaccines, but you're starting to see cracks in the facade of the left as they talk about COVID now, masks, etc.
They understand it's a political loser.
The American people have had a belly full of it, and it's time to move on, and yet you still got these hardcores.
Maureen, one more thing.
I want to get to this very important rally this Thursday.
If I can say anything, Women's Sports Title IX changed really how young women came up and their competitiveness and their focus and this thing of a ticket out to allow minority students to be able to get to Division I schools or Ivy schools on athletic scholarships.
What's happening this Thursday, ma'am?
maureen bannon
It is a rally at Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C.
It starts at 11.
It's the Our Bodies, Our Sports rally.
There's roughly about 40 speakers and I'm honored to be one of those speakers.
And we're going to cover, you know, the history behind Title IX and why biological males should not be involved in female sports.
And it's on the anniversary, the 50th anniversary of Title IX.
And this is not just for conservatives.
This is for everyone because we want to protect the right for girls to have their own sports.
steve bannon
Okay, Mo, hang on.
You're going to join me in the next hour.
We've got Mike Davis.
Mike Davis is on fire talking about the impeachment of Merrick Garland.
You just heard the border right there.
In fact, we bumped Naomi tomorrow morning to let you hear Sheriff Daniels and Ben Berquam, Real America's voice, Ben Berquam.
We've got beyond a crisis, and we're going to put some additional math to it tomorrow morning.
Hang in here.
Short break, a couple of minutes.
We'll be back with more on Battleground.
You're not going to want to miss it.
Be back in a moment.
