| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||
| MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | |
| Okay, we've got a convert that's happening in... | ||
| You know, DeSantis is, and I agree, DeSantis hasn't said no money. | ||
| There's no doubt about that. But he did say the magic words. | ||
| It's not in the vital national security interest of the United States. | ||
| It's just a border, a regional border dispute. | ||
| We've got to make that better. But then President Trump also has to come out and say no money. | ||
| I haven't heard that quite yet. | ||
| I haven't heard, like, no money at all. | ||
| And that is what MAGA demands. | ||
| No more money for Ukraine. | ||
| You can't do that when you're bailing out stuff. | ||
| Although President Trump, I think, is the guy and has laid it out. | ||
| He could solve this in 24 hours. | ||
| He'd go in there and bang heads together. | ||
| But this is not going to wait for him to return to the presidency. | ||
| This has to happen now, so you've got to use the leverage you've got. | ||
| Walk me through some more. We've got some more about the economy and about people's lives. | ||
| By the way, I think Kramer was saying the numbers weren't that bad. | ||
| I think Kramer was saying the numbers weren't that bad. | ||
| I mean, he cherry-picked some good news out of these numbers today, Cortez. | ||
| By the way, CNBC just hitting the tape off of CNBC's website. | ||
| Moody's cuts outlook on U.S. banking system to negative, not on individual banks, on the system, citing, and this is a quote, rapidly deteriorating operating environment. | ||
| Rapidly Deteriorating Operating Environment. | ||
| That is an understatement, but undoubtedly true. | ||
| Let's talk about the Rapidly Deteriorating Finances. | ||
| Hang on one second. | ||
| That's what we've been talking about. Moody's is trying to cover their ass right now. | ||
| Rapidly Deteriorating. | ||
| The audience should take that as a papal bull. | ||
| Okay? Operating environment means overall economy and the systemic issues with the banks. | ||
| And it shows you Biden's finger in the dike. | ||
| Because as J.D. told you, they don't have a plan. | ||
| And they don't have enough guts to come forward. | ||
| This is why they're not... | ||
| You don't see Yellen on TV nonstop. | ||
| You don't see J-PALs hiding out somewhere. | ||
| You don't see any Democrats coming out here. | ||
| MSNBC the other morning, Monday morning, Morning Joe barely talked about anything. | ||
| You know why? They want to run away and hide from this thing because they understand this is a disaster, this is a fiasco. | ||
| So Moody's just came out, downgraded the entire sector. | ||
| The entire U.S. banking system. | ||
| With rapidly deteriorating operating environment. | ||
| Yeah, it's called the U.S. economy under the Biden regime. | ||
| Give me some charts here, Cortez, your specialty. | ||
| You bet, yeah. Let's go to chart number one. | ||
| This is average hourly earnings. | ||
| This is the reality of what Joe Biden is doing to you. | ||
| As you can see, the trend there is demonstrably from the upper left to the lower right, which is not positive. | ||
| Average hourly earnings year over year. | ||
| are descending and decelerating at a very rapid pace. | ||
| And what does that produce then? | ||
| If we go to chart number two, what that produces- Hold on, hold on, hold on. | ||
| Hang on. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| But hang on. But hang on a second. | ||
| Hang on a second. Let's stay in that first chart. | ||
| That's from Trump to now. | ||
| Everybody that says, I hate Trump, he tweets out mean stuff, he says bad things about people. | ||
| You know, CNN last night, Anderson Cooper starts in some county in Texas, the most Trump county. | ||
| People say, hey, you know, he says some bad things. | ||
| Hey, suck on this. | ||
| Look at that chart, okay? | ||
| As imperfect as he is, the golden year of 2019, and even 2020 with the CCP virus all over us, wasn't as bad as it couldn't have been, but 19 showed you his true economic policies with- Wait for it. | ||
| Taking almost a trillion dollars off the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve liquidity out of the system to juice the system, right? | ||
| The headwind's a great thing. | ||
| Look at that chart. That shows you that's the reality of your existence under Joe Biden. | ||
| Steve Cortez. Yeah, listen, 2019 was the best year for workers in all of American history. | ||
| The Trump boom was operating at full capacity in the year 2019. | ||
| We had 6.8 % wage growth, even higher than that for blue-collar workers, but overall 6.8 % wage growth with negligible inflation, inflation running at about 2%, meaning that real wages were galloping higher in the neighborhood of 5%. | ||
| That's real prosperity, okay? | ||
| It proves that economic, populist, nationalist policies work. | ||
| We now have the exact opposite, where wages cannot keep pace with inflation, and now for two years straight, Americans are getting poorer every single month under Joe Biden. | ||
| Let me show that to you in chart form. | ||
| If we go to chart number two, and this chart goes back five years, and this is real incomes, real wages in the United States, and that's all that really matters. | ||
| Because it means your income adjusted for the cost of the goods and services you need for your life. | ||
| As you can see there, since the spring of two years ago, it has been negative. | ||
| It continues to be negative as of today for the 24th consecutive month. | ||
| Even if you are getting an increase in your pay, and I certainly hope you are, it's not enough. | ||
| It's not enough to keep pace with the soaring costs of goods in Biden's economy. | ||
| And here's the worst news of all, as bad as that news is, Steve, looking forward, looking around the corner, over the hill, the worst news is because of the banking scandal, because of the banking crisis caused by Joe Biden, The Fed is now trapped, and it is unable to further fight this inflation, which is so afflicting Americans, which is draining our prosperity, sapping our confidence, and causing poverty in this country. | ||
| Hang on. Hang on. | ||
| They have a choice. | ||
| They have a choice. They could face—they could— It continued to increase and take down inflation because this is why the market's not down today because they love the fact that the Fed's going to be there. | ||
| If they fight inflation and help the working men in this country, they're going to implode the banking system. | ||
| Because you're going to have a bigger bond revolt. | ||
| So that's why right now they're going to try to protect the system. | ||
| When I say protect the system, they're going to particularly protect the fat cats who, by the way, that inflation, everything you went through, it's a problem with them for the managers of their estates and their households and their money managers and the people that run their lives. | ||
| They're saying, hey, I'm spending too much money here, but it doesn't affect the way they live. | ||
| It directly impacts working class people, the people in East Palestine and Yuma and El Paso, Texas, right? | ||
| Because we got the tale of two cities. | ||
| We got the tale of five cities. | ||
| You got Silicon Valley in Ukraine compared to East Palestine, Ohio, Yuma, Arizona, and El Paso, Texas, where we've had these border meltdowns. | ||
| The decision they've got is to protect the system because they got to protect the money, right? | ||
| You're underwriting, but they got to protect the money. | ||
| You agree. He's going to make the decision to back off of rate increases and let the dumpster fire of inflation burn through the working class in this country. | ||
| And hey, if the African-American, Hispanic-American, the under-35-year-old millennials want to continue to vote for this, have at it. | ||
| It's a democracy. It's a free country. | ||
| You've got more access to information than any people in the history of the earth. | ||
| If you want to vote for it, vote for it. | ||
| But remember, you are going to into Russian-type serfdom, okay? | ||
| And they're breaking you. | ||
| 24 straight months. You like 24 straight months of negative real income? | ||
| You like that? Is that working out for you? | ||
| You like that? Because you're going to get even a bigger dose of it coming right at you. | ||
| Dave Brett, jump in. Yeah, I'll just one... | ||
| Just don't quote some Austrian economist. | ||
| Don't get me all worked up again. | ||
| That's right. No, and Steve's got all this just right, but the only reason the Fed cares about inflation, right? | ||
| They don't care about it all. They want inflation to pay off the debt, but now interest rates are 5%, and the debt's going to be $50 trillion. | ||
| Do the math on that real quick. | ||
| What's 5 % of $50 trillion in debt in 10 years? | ||
| $2.5 trillion, three defense budgets. | ||
| $2.5 trillion. $2.5 trillion. | ||
| So Cortez, This is the thing, too. | ||
| Don't get me woke. Just give me the budget he gave you last week. | ||
| By the way, we hate woke. We hate it. | ||
| It's a disaster. But look at that $6.8 trillion. | ||
| That didn't age well, did it? | ||
| Because that is out there is what the problem is. | ||
| This is what the problem is. | ||
| You have a government that's out of control, and they're all running on modern monetary theory. | ||
| The deficits don't matter. | ||
| Well, guess what? They matter when all of a sudden interest rates absolutely explode. | ||
| Cortez. 100%. | ||
| And let's not forget, again, most of the blame, it belongs principally and deservedly with Joe Biden. | ||
| But let's not forget about the establishment collaborationist Republicans who have been enabling this madness, this absolute fiscal madness. | ||
| The Republicans who voted for that monstrosity, for the omnibus package that in many ways handcuffed the incoming House GOP majority. | ||
| People like Tom Cotton, somebody who we think we can count on, somebody who talks in a way as if he's conservative, but then when it comes to voting, voted in favor of that monstrosity. | ||
| By the way, both he and Bozeman, both senators from Arkansas, think about that, a red state like Arkansas. | ||
| Full of conservative, God-fearing patriots, and both of their senators voted for the omnibus. | ||
| What are the consequences of the omnibus? | ||
| The bank failure of Silicon Valley Bank, the bank failure of Signature Bank, and who knows how many more banks to come. | ||
| These are the real-world consequences of the exorbitant borrowing and spending, of the insane profligacy A permanent Washington who doesn't care, quite frankly, that regular Americans are on the hook, that we have to clean up the mess that we didn't make, that we have to pay the tab for a party that we were not invited to attend. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, that is the reality. | |
| It's the bond market revenge. | ||
| And by the way, here's the response of MAGA you can see from Philip Patrick. | ||
| Hey, how about this? | ||
| I'm going to call Birch Gold, right, honey? | ||
| Dig up the tomato cans. | ||
| Get the dollars out of the mattress. | ||
| We're going to put it into precious metals. | ||
| That's how the bond market is throwing all up and revolting against the Biden regime, okay? | ||
| And now the American people are, too, as they go into precious metals. | ||
| Brad? Yeah, well, we got a war. | ||
| We got the administrative state. | ||
| But the real cause of this thing, if you ask John Taylor at Stanford, is the Federal Reserve System. | ||
| They have exceeded their mandate. | ||
| They're doing pilot programs on central bank digital currencies. | ||
| Their mandate of the Fed is stable prices, meaning no inflation or low inflation. | ||
| 2%. And low unemployment. I wish we'd get away from unemployment because it's a political pocket. | ||
| Do productivity, like Cortez has been saying. | ||
| You want to help that wage grab to his? | ||
| If the Fed's mandate was productivity instead of unemployment, that would help the poor, help unemployment, and solve the mess around. | ||
| I don't want to rub salt in an open wound in Trump world, but I will. | ||
| Okay, I push John Taylor. | ||
| John Taylor should have been. | ||
| He's a hard money guy. | ||
| He was on interest rates. | ||
| And President Trump had Mnuchin and Kushner, these guys, blowing in his ear. | ||
| You got to have Powell and Cortez. | ||
| How has Powell worked out? | ||
| The single worst pick of the Trump administration. | ||
| And by the way, there is a list of not great picks. | ||
| Not the best, as we say. | ||
| This guy's the worst. | ||
| If we'd had John Taylor in here, it would have been a whole different deal. | ||
| That guy's a hammer. How has Powell worked out? | ||
| He's an absolute empty suit, okay? | ||
| And I would take any community banker in America who would do a far, far better job than Powell would. | ||
| He does not understand capital markets. | ||
| He doesn't understand basic economics. | ||
| He is an attorney. He is a Washingtonian. | ||
| He is a creature of the swamp. | ||
| The only thing he's ever been skilled at is operating politically within the cabal of the beltway. | ||
| That is the reality. | ||
| He has no significant private sector experience. | ||
| Yes, he did a tour at Carlisle Where he collected checks because of his political connections. | ||
| But this is an absolute empty suit who does not understand economics and who is clearly, clearly not up to the job at hand. | ||
| Which, let's face it, is a crisis, right? | ||
| This is a time when we need real leadership. | ||
| Instead, we have Janet Yellen, Jay Powell, and Joe Biden. | ||
| How does that make any American feel at a time like this? | ||
| of severe economic anxiety to look at this is the supposed economic dream team? | ||
| Powell, Yellen, and Biden? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No thank you. That's good. | |
| That's good. I know you got to bounce, but I want to say that the Church of America First and MAGA will take converts. | ||
| We got Ron DeSantis heading there. | ||
| Not perfect, but he's getting there on Ukraine. | ||
| He called it not the vital national security interest. | ||
| He ripped Tucker read it, ripped all over it. | ||
| But also, Ken Griffin, the puppet master. | ||
| Walk us through it. We've got 30 seconds before we go to break. | ||
| Ken Griffin's getting to be a convert too, is he not, sir? | ||
| I couldn't believe this. | ||
| Ken Griffin, here's what he said in the Financial Times. | ||
| There's been a loss of financial discipline with the government bailing out depositors in full. | ||
| Ken Griffin sounded like a populist all of a sudden. | ||
| An oligarch that we've done a lot of battle with politically. | ||
| Somebody we don't often quote in a positive way. | ||
| But Ken Griffin gave an interview that sounded incredibly populist and incredibly smart. | ||
| So yes, we're winning converts and we welcome them. | ||
| And we'll take converts. | ||
| Okay, Cortez, how do people get to your sub stack? | ||
| I know you've got to bounce. All your content. | ||
| Yeah, please follow me on Twitter. | ||
| I'm at Cortez SteveCortez with an S. Thank you, sir. | ||
| Brat, thank you, brother. | ||
| Brat's going to hang with me. | ||
| Carrie Lake's going to join us. | ||
| We've got a lot going on here in the war room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
See you in a minute. Okay, welcome. | |
| New York Post. We don't have it up yet. | ||
| New York Post's lead story is Credit Suisse. | ||
| Dale Mayo had it early today. | ||
| Complete meltdown, one of the biggest banks in the world, hitting all-time lows. | ||
| Hang on. I don't see how that can be because they're not underneath the U.S. Trumpian regulatory system. | ||
| Well, part of them, they've got a big footprint here, but you're right. | ||
| They're a Swiss bank. | ||
| How can this be a global phenomenon? | ||
| The New York Times is not telling you that, right? | ||
| I'm making fun of New York Times, yeah. | ||
| You don't think, you believe it's a global phenomenon. | ||
| It's global money. | ||
| The globe is flush in liquidity. | ||
| Had to find somewhere to go. It's 08, 09 again. | ||
| Moody's missed all that, by the way. | ||
| All the rating agencies. Oh, they're covering their ass right now. | ||
| Moody's thing today about banking. | ||
| How long have we been talking about the banking system and the bonds, all of that? | ||
| And all your regulators out there, for folks who follow, all the regulators should have gone to jail too, right? | ||
| So all this talk about regulation being a problem, holy, they were all bought and captured. | ||
| Remember? Silicon Valley Bank was insolvent. | ||
| It's not a bank. It's beyond a hedge fund. | ||
| I don't even know what it is. | ||
| It's like a fraternity or sorority house where they've got inside deals. | ||
| It's ridiculous. That's where the ESG stuff comes in and the crap that they were doing the venture loans on. | ||
| It's all a scam. It's all a scam to support the venture capitalists. | ||
| Don't call them VCs. Call them venture capitalists. | ||
| And the economics of the Hunter Biden scandal is that if you're attached to a name, you cannot fail. | ||
| So they were attached to many names. | ||
| And so, of course, we're safe. | ||
| They're a Democratic ATM. In fact, we'll play that clip when we get Carrie Lake on. | ||
| I want to go, though, now the other created crisis, the invasion of your beloved country from the southern border in Reynosa, Mexico, across from McAllen, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley. | ||
| Real America's voice, Ben Berquam. | ||
| Ben, it looks like a crisis there, too, sir. | ||
| Yeah, you know, it's crazy. | ||
| It's out of control. They started this CBP-1 process saying that they were going to fix the problem down here. | ||
| I was in two shelters yesterday, and some of the people down here, the guy who's running the shelter is an awesome guy. | ||
| His name's Hector. He's been running the shelter for 20 years. | ||
| 1,500 people in one shelter. | ||
| They have 2,000 people in another shelter. | ||
| This is one of the overflow shelters. | ||
| You've got thousands of kids here. | ||
| And then this shelter right here, this isn't even a shelter. | ||
| This is just a tent city that's been set up right along the Rio Grande River. | ||
| This has 1,000 people in it. | ||
| And there are thousands more spread out through the city. | ||
| Everyone I talked to said the application process is impossible. | ||
| They've been here for a month, two months, three months. | ||
| This is a ticking time bomb. | ||
| Ready to explode. And if you look over here, it's also, it's just an environmental disaster. | ||
| This is, I just want to point something out here real quick, Steve. | ||
| All of this garbage coming from here, if you look right across the river, that is all environmentally protected area where the radical leftists who are pushing for open borders control it. | ||
| But this is what they're doing to the river. | ||
| This is an illustration of what leftist policies look like. | ||
| We don't have time. | ||
| CNN had an amazing report last night from someone down at El Paso, Ben. | ||
| And it was amazing because they're sitting there talking to these people that are coming from Latin America, Central America, and they're sitting there saying the problem's the app. | ||
| Biden promised us that we could get in the United States, but they're holding us up because this app doesn't work. | ||
| And CNN's kind of agreeing with them. | ||
| Tell us about this app. | ||
| This is what Todd Benzman told you about. | ||
| They're going to try to game the system to let these people have humanitarian parole in Mexico and then fly them in or get them in. | ||
| And now they got up there. | ||
| Biden realizes that this thing's... | ||
| Optically terrible with everything else going on, and so the app's not working, and you're about to have a revolt of tens of thousands that have come from all over the world, particularly Latin America. | ||
| Walk us through that, Ben. They're sitting on a powder keg in northern Mexico, sir. | ||
| Yeah, and shout out to Todd Benzman, CIS. He's absolutely right. | ||
| We came down here partly to cover that, to follow up. | ||
| I've been down here several times, but it absolutely is. | ||
| It's just like everything else the left does. | ||
| It doesn't work. And this app, I don't know if it was designed to fail or just incompetence, but that's what we hear. | ||
| I was talking to a young girl who's here. | ||
| She's 23 years old, brought her 18-year-old sister. | ||
| They've been on it for three months. | ||
| Every day they're trying to click on it, they're trying to get on it, and they get dumped off it every single day. | ||
| And we're talking about the people that are trying to do it, quote-unquote, legally. | ||
| What's happening and speaking to people like Lieutenant Casas on the other side is now you have the cartels seizing on this opportunity, coming in and saying, hey, we'll get you across. | ||
| You don't have to wait for that app. And now we have tens of thousands more being trafficked across by mules, by coyotes. | ||
| So it's just a complete, utter disaster. | ||
| So you have the people that are still going across in Yuma. | ||
| That are turning themselves in every single night with the hundreds of thousands. | ||
| You have the thousands waiting here and every major city along the southern border in Mexico. | ||
| And then you have the cartels making billions of dollars bringing people and drugs across all at the same time. | ||
| Everything Joe Biden has done is an absolute disaster. | ||
| I want to make sure, because you're there on the ground. | ||
| By the way, Ben, you've got to be safe. | ||
| Ben is in the city where the four folks that went down there to get the cosmetic surgery got caught by the cartel. | ||
| One city away. But you're right there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's all golf cartel. | |
| And they don't play around. | ||
| So Ben, you've got to be safe. | ||
| Ben, I want to, though, talk about, I think, the central problem. | ||
| When you go through that camp and these other camps, and when Anthony Aguero is down in El Paso through the camps, and of course Oscar Ramirez in Tijuana. | ||
| When you talk to the people there, and they talk about the app working or not working, isn't it correct that to a person, they believe they have an absolute right to cross that border and get into the United States? | ||
| They've been told this, told this by the NGOs and by Biden administration. | ||
| So they have come, and listen, Berquam went down with Jan and the team. | ||
| He was down in the Venezuela-Columbian border. | ||
| Remember, the 2,000 fighting-age men are from Venezuela. | ||
| He's seen that trek up through the Darien Gap. | ||
| The dangerous thing, but these people are coming because they believe in their hearts. | ||
| They have been told by the Biden regime and these NGOs, you have an absolute total right to get into America and to get everything America has to offer. | ||
| All you have to do is get to the southern border. | ||
| Am I correct in that thinking? | ||
| Is that that's the main problem we have, Ben Burkwam? | ||
| Yeah, shout out to another patriot, Michael Yon. | ||
| Absolutely. Without question, to the person that I've interviewed, and speaking to Hector Silva, who runs the Way of Life shelter here, he said everybody that comes expects to get in to America. | ||
| And they're in a tough spot because all they're there doing is trying to feed and shelter people. | ||
| They're doing God's work. | ||
| They're missionaries. These are the real ones, not the NGOs, not the leftists, not the United Nations that are driving this. | ||
| These are the guys that just have to deal with it when they show up. | ||
| And he said every single person that shows up down here is being told that they're allowed in, that the borders are open. | ||
| And that goes right back to the United Nation. | ||
| That goes right back to Catholic Charities. | ||
| That goes right back to Lutheran Social Services and the Democrat Party in America. | ||
| Who continue to push this lie? | ||
| I mean, the reality is they are open if you want to come across illegally. | ||
| But people get up here and if they want to do it legally, that's where you get so much of the frustration and people just finally just saying, we're going to rush the border like we saw in Juarez. | ||
| Last thing before we let you go, Ben. | ||
| When you're sitting there, this powder keg, it's also from all over the world. | ||
| This is not Mexico trying to get into the United States. | ||
| This is the Triangle Nations down in Central America, but it's also Latin America. | ||
| But they're coming in. | ||
| From all of the world. | ||
| You're seeing them from mainland China. | ||
| You're seeing them from Ukraine. | ||
| You're seeing them from even Russia. | ||
| You've got from sub-Saharan Africa. | ||
| It's the entire world is making a bum's rush right now to the border, correct? | ||
| Yeah, they're doing that because, as we just talked about, these organizations are making billions of dollars, not just the cartels. | ||
| The cartels are directly marketing. | ||
| We aired that video, that breaking video, when we were down in Colombia, of the video that's airing in China, inviting people. | ||
| That's directly from the cartels to the Chinese market. | ||
| But that same thing is happening in the Middle East. | ||
| It's happening in Sub-Saharan Africa. | ||
| It's happening in West Africa, Central Asia. | ||
| It's happening all over the world. | ||
| But it's also happening with the United Nations in all of these countries that are aiding and abetting the cartels in driving this, again, as Michael Yan calls it, the push-pull. | ||
| You've got the push of these despots in these corrupt countries pushing people out, and you've got the pull of all of these organizations saying, we'll get you there. | ||
| You'll get a better life. It's all for free. | ||
| And when they show up, And it's not what they were sold in the brochure. | ||
| They get pissed off. | ||
| And that's what we see. Again, it's a time bomb just waiting to explode. | ||
| And it's all by design. | ||
| It's all on purpose to undermine America from within. | ||
| You hang on for a second, but remember, Mike Hall at Heritage showed you that these NGOs are all financed on your nickel. | ||
| That $6.8 trillion, when VOTE says we've got to take out the Woken Weaponized and even the House Freedom Caucus, all of this, all of those NGOs are acting as basically financed by the U.S. government. | ||
| It's on your tax dollar. | ||
| That's where you've got to take out the $6.8 trillion budget, Brett. | ||
| All the Fortune 500 firms, all the NGOs, everybody wants cheap labor. | ||
| But now, here comes the economics at you, right? | ||
| Now you've got a banking crisis, a guaranteed recession coming at you, a disaster, and then you get more moral hazard. | ||
| We're changing the rules of the game again. | ||
| Now you've got 5 million new people coming in. | ||
| When the jobs go bye-bye, who's on the hook? | ||
| The American people. For all the benefits, all the K-12 education, all the healthcare, all the housing, it's going to be a disaster. | ||
| This was the power of the Yuma. | ||
| This was the power of Jordan doing that briefing in Yuma, Ben. | ||
| You remember that the local hospital said, hey, we're $26 million. | ||
| We've got to help people. | ||
| They're sick. They come across. | ||
| We've got to take care of them. And we've destroyed the health care system for American citizens in Yuma. | ||
| Ben, how do people... | ||
| This is an amazing reporter. You've got to stay safe there because that's a powder keg. | ||
| How do people get to you through the day on A Real American's Voice? | ||
| We'll get you back on this afternoon. | ||
| Americasvoice.news. We'll be uploading some new videos there. | ||
| And then frontlineAmerica.com. | ||
| And then my social media. | ||
| I got tons of video from yesterday that hasn't been seen yet. | ||
| We're going to be posting that at Ben Berquam. | ||
| B-E-R-G-Q-U-A-M. And I'm telling you, what we got yesterday and what we're going to get today, it's going to blow your mind. | ||
| And again, the left doesn't want you to see it because the left caused it. | ||
| I just want to give Ben a shout out. | ||
| Ben is just a fine Christian man. | ||
| His life is a mission. | ||
| He's a mission, Ben. You keep doing what you're doing. | ||
| You're a fine Christian example to all of us. | ||
| No, no. It's the Holy Spirit. Ben Burkhoff is the Holy Spirit. | ||
| This guy's a warrior. No, no. | ||
| You've been in the toughest spots. | ||
| You have become, I think, From where you started, one of the best reporters in America. | ||
| I've got to tell you, it's been absolutely amazing. | ||
|

|
And all self-taught. The school of hard knocks. | |
| Ben, thank you so much. | ||
| Honor. Fabulous. | ||
| God bless you guys. Stay tuned. | ||
| Stay tuned. Say bye-bye. | ||
| In a brutal economic environment, you've got tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. | ||
| Remember, CIS has told us by the end of the Biden regime term, 12 to 15 million illegal aliens here. | ||

a short break back in a moment. Here's your host Stephen K. | |
| Bamm. Okay, welcome back. | ||
| Um... | ||
| Carrie Lake joins us. | ||
| Carrie, a couple things. | ||
| Yesterday we had live coverage from the camp in El Paso, or in Juarez on the other side of El Paso, where the 2000 Venezuela fighting-age males tried to basically crush through the... | ||
| The armored, you know, the up-armored police to get into the country. | ||
| We had Oscar Blue Ramirez in Tijuana there for the capsizing of the two boats. | ||
| I think over in Imperial Beach, San Diego, that killed eight, I think, illegal aliens drowned. | ||
| And now we have Ben Berquam. | ||
| He was in La Jolla, Texas yesterday with the police saying they're overwhelmed. | ||
| He's now down in Reynosa on the Mexican side saying these camps are about to explode. | ||
| The primary thing, this is what people don't understand about Carrie Lake, yes, the voting crimes and the stealing of the elections was absolutely central to her campaign, but the number one issue... | ||
| Was the invasion of the southern border and the cartels. | ||
| As soon as you took your hand off the Bible, because you did win, you were going to tell the Biden administration that you're shutting down the border and putting them on notice. | ||
| It's only gotten exponentially worse, has it not, ma'am? | ||
| Oh, absolutely. I mean, what Ben has been reporting is it's shocking when you think it can't get worse and then it does. | ||
| And we've got a true invasion. | ||
| I mean, even for people who thought that was extreme rhetoric, you can see it with your own eyeballs right now. | ||
| We have an invasion on our border. | ||
| We have these camps set up, migrant camps set up on the border. | ||
| These people are coming across. | ||
| It is an effort to destabilize this country. | ||
| And the cartel and the CCP's favorite partner in this crime is this bumbling fool, Joe Biden, who's going to now try to crash the economy. | ||
| I mean, I saw him walk in to deliver that message to the American people trying to tell us everything's all fine with the banking system. | ||
| And he shuffled in, he could barely turn the knob on the door. | ||
| What possibly could go wrong, Steve, when we have an election that is stolen and we sit back and allow it to happen and allow this guy who is compromised by not only the CCP and Ukraine, and it's proven right there on Hunter's laptop, | ||
| what possibly could go wrong when we allow this compromised individual to take the White House and steer our country right over a cliff We're seeing the end of America if we don't try to stop this. | ||
| Help me out here. | ||
| Moody's just, as we were on air, downgraded the entire U.S. banking sector and said that is now, I think the quote is, the rapidly deteriorating operating conditions. | ||
| That's their quote, trying to cover their ass now. | ||
| We started the show with J.D. Vance, the senator from Ohio, who really is defending the people in East Palestine against this bailout in Silicon Valley among the elites that the people in East Palestine are actually underwriting. | ||
| A couple weeks ago, Jim Jordan took a field hearing in Yuma, Arizona, and I think shocked people. | ||
| What happened in Yuma, Arizona from the invasion was the destruction of the hospital, the healthcare system, the education system, the law enforcement system, the drugs. | ||
| Literally, you saw a town, a community that was absolutely eviscerated at every level because of this invasion. | ||
| What would you have to say to the people in Yuma today about this bailout of the elites, the Democratic ATM that's called Silicon Valley Bank, ma'am? | ||
| Well, they say it's too big to fail, right? | ||
| That's what we heard in 2008. | ||
| Well, the American people, I will view them, their lives as too big to fail. | ||
| And we have failed the American people time and time again. | ||
| And this is the reason I ran for office. | ||
| I'm sick of watching our government fail the people, turn their back on America. | ||
| From Ohio to Iowa to Arizona, you talked about what happened in Yuma. | ||
| Now multiply that 100 times in different communities along the border. | ||
| It's happening over and over, and the people of this country are being squeezed. | ||
| And this is why America First policies are the only way out of this corrupt system and out of these problems. | ||
| And this is why they did everything they could to stop President Trump in 2020, stealing that election. | ||
| And then they upped it and did it even worse in 2022 because they saw me, a fed-up mom, who stood up and said, no, these problems are solvable if you get somebody with a backbone who's willing to do something. | ||
| And the cartels And the CCP who partners with them said, oh my gosh, we got to stop that woman. | ||
| We don't care how big the robbery is on election day. | ||
| It can be in broad daylight. | ||
| We've got to stop it. | ||
| Or she will put a stop to what we're doing at the border. | ||
| And it's all one big puzzle with a million different pieces. | ||
| And in every single way, they are getting the upper hand and taking control of America. | ||
| And we're headed for some really tough days. | ||
| I'm hoping more people wake up. | ||
| And realize that the alarm bells that I've been sounding since 2020 and President Trump, now they are actually coming true, all of those issues that we warned you of. | ||
| And it all stems from allowing our election system to be stolen. | ||
| And you know it's bad when they won't let you talk about it, Steve. | ||
| We need to be talking about the issues that they forbid us to talk about. | ||
| And look at this fool, this CHICOM fool, Mark Kelly. | ||
| I don't even want to call him Senator. | ||
| Mark Kelly, whose answer to what happened when the banking system, when our eyes woke up to what was happening, when the Silicon Valley Bank started to falter and go down. | ||
| His answer to that is, how can we censor the people so they can't talk about it on Twitter? | ||
| This is outrageous. | ||
| Tell me about Kelly. | ||
| Kelly's had long ties to the CCP. He's absolutely not a free speech guy at all. | ||
| Tell me, how does Arizona be represented by a guy like Mark Kelly that is questionable at best? | ||
| Well, I'm going to get right back to, you know, you talked to President Trump. | ||
| He says, you ask Kerry anything, she gets back to our elections because it is the issue of our time. | ||
| How do we solve this problem with what's happening in our financial sector and in the banking if we have stolen elections? | ||
| How do we handle the border if we have stolen elections? | ||
| How do we handle our kids' education if we have stolen elections? | ||
| This guy is a fraud. | ||
| We saw, if you're here in Arizona, you remember those ads that ran on TV the first time you ran where he's Riding his motorcycle, this little mini guy on his big motorcycle riding across the stage in Beijing with a Chinese flag flying on his motorcycle. | ||
| And then he tries to fool the people of Arizona into thinking that he's a patriotic American when he is beholden to the CCP. And we're seeing it with someone like him. | ||
| How dare he sit there? | ||
| In the Senate and try to sneak around through back avenues to censor the good people of this country and take away our very first right, our First Amendment right of free speech. | ||
| This is outrageous and we're sick and tired of it. | ||
| And the people of Arizona are tired of it. | ||
| This is why we're standing up and this is why they're supporting me in my fight. | ||
| As we take our case to the Supreme Court to try to get this rigged election either put aside, redone, or to declare me the victor, as everybody knows, is the truth in Arizona. | ||
| Let's talk about that for a second. | ||
| I want to talk about the Supreme Court. But Katie Hobbs, with this invasion going on on the southern border, Abbott now up on it, others up on it, even Newsom realizes he's got a massive problem. | ||
| You've got people drowning off of Imperial Beach. | ||
| It's a disaster, and it's a powder keg. | ||
| This is going to hurt the Mexican people because it's a powder keg because all over the world are in these camps. | ||
| Katie Hobbs actually acts like she's a junior pardon to the cartels. | ||
| Are the people in Arizona shocked about how, not just laissez-faire or blasé about this, she's actually exacerbating this problem. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is she not, ma'am? Oh, I mean, she's a puppet. | |
| She doesn't even know what she's doing. | ||
| Let's face the facts on that one. | ||
| I mean, she knows that she didn't win, and she's totally in partnership with the cartels. | ||
| I mean, think about this. | ||
| You know, in the last months, the last few months of Ducey's administration here in Arizona, we saw that he started to put up those barriers along the border. | ||
| I mean, it was a joke, but it was something. | ||
| And I always say some barriers better than no barrier, right? | ||
| If you're trying to keep the invasion at bay a little bit, you put up the barriers. | ||
| He put the shipping containers up, spent a fortune doing that when he should have really just started He put those up and immediately on day one, she starts taking those down. | ||
| And now we're seeing the situation that you described in Yuma. | ||
| It's happening in other counties as well. | ||
| Cochise County, there are medical centers all along and hospitals anywhere near the border. | ||
| And frankly, even not near the border. | ||
| Up here in the city in Phoenix, our hospitals are stretched. | ||
| And it's because we're seeing people here illegally. | ||
| So she is in cahoots with them, in my opinion. | ||
| You know, yesterday or the day before, she's in the Middle East trying to work out a deal to partner with our Arizona National Guard and Middle East countries. | ||
| This is a woman who's not serious about putting the needs of Arizonans first. | ||
| And this is why she lost in a landslide and they had to steal it and put her in as a squatter in the governor's office. | ||
| And it's going to get really bad here, I believe, in the coming days and weeks. | ||
| And I'm hoping that we can wake up a few more people who might have just been thrilled because their Democrat got in. | ||
| But now they're hopefully looking at America and realizing that we are in a situation where we've been destabilized to the point of, I don't know, no return possibly. | ||
| Everybody's asking me, so where does the case actually stand and how can people help? | ||
| The Supreme Court, they haven't actually decided whether they're going to take it on yet or not. | ||
| That'll happen in late March, I think? | ||
| That's right. We, of course, filed our case with the Supreme Court, as I promised, and I believe it was just yesterday the other side made their filing, their rebuttal, their response. | ||
| And then on the 21st, the seven members of the Arizona Supreme Court will meet. | ||
| And they will decide if they're going to take the case. | ||
| And we really need our Supreme Court to do the right thing. | ||
| They must hear this case. | ||
| If they don't hear this case, Steve, they are basically giving their stamp of approval, putting their stamp of approval on the most corrupt election we've ever seen in this country. | ||
| Not only that, they are sending a very loud message to every town, every city, every county. | ||
| That election laws don't matter. | ||
| That chain of custody is just a suggestion. | ||
| You don't have to follow it. | ||
| That you don't have to have machines that are certified and working. | ||
| It's all just a recommendation and you don't have to follow it. | ||
| They're basically giving the green light to corrupt people all across our state to go ahead and continue running elections in a corrupt way. | ||
| And it will be the end of our voice being free at the ballot box. | ||
| You're from, I think, a rural community outside of near Davenport, Iowa. | ||
| What did you think of President Trump's visit yesterday, given you were just there a week or so ago? | ||
| I thought it was great. | ||
| I mean, that is my home community. | ||
| I grew up a part of my life just in the town next to Davenport called Bettendorf. | ||
| And then when I was 10, my dad moved us out to the country where we lived out in the boondocks. | ||
| And so I had a very rural experience as a child. | ||
| And a teenager and also an experience in the city near Davenport. | ||
| I thought it was a great showing. | ||
| I wasn't surprised at all. | ||
| You know, this is a little bit more liberal part of Iowa when you compare it to the rest of the state. | ||
| But this shows you when you saw that line going around the block, you know, four or five blocks back and the crowd outside was even bigger than the crowd inside. | ||
| It shows you that even in this part of Iowa, that's not the reddest part of Iowa, that President Trump's ideas His policies, his fight for the American people resonates. | ||
| People realize that he never lies to us. | ||
| He tells us the truth. He gets stuff done for us. | ||
| His policies are common sense. | ||
| I'm loving some of the new policies he's putting out there when it comes to education, when it comes to building some of these new cities on some of the federal land, because the federal government has gobbled up a lot of our land, and we need to build some new cities and new homes for Americans, young Americans who want to get out and start a life. | ||
| And I'm really concerned right now, Steve, as we're watching what's happening with these banks and with the economy. | ||
| And as Steve Cortez was talking about, with the inflation, with our older American friends, and I say older, I'm almost their age. | ||
| I'm talking about people who are retirement age, who did everything right, worked hard, raised their family, paid their bills on time, saved a little nest egg in their 401k. | ||
| And I'm very, very concerned about these Americans. | ||
| I'm very concerned about these individuals as we watch Joe Biden drive this economy straight into a ditch. | ||
| And a fireball of an accident that I don't know if we'll be able to recover from. | ||
| And this is, again, why I continue to beat the drum of elections. | ||
| Fake elections, stolen elections have consequences. | ||
| Catastrophic consequences. How do people get to you to support you in your fight at the Supreme Court? | ||
| Thank you. They can go to CarrieLake.com or SaveArizonaFund.com and they can find me at social media at CarrieLake. | ||

|
How do you show these kids that, hey... | |
| History is repeating itself here like the late 1930s. | ||
| We have a massive economic crisis that expands. | ||
| The contagion expands globally because of policies that did not work, and that leads to a geopolitical situation that leads to a world war that killed, I don't know, 200 million people in its time. | ||
| How do you teach kids down there how to think about this, what to look for? | ||
| Well, you usually just start out with a freshman, sophomore. | ||
| They haven't been educated in K-12 education. | ||
| That's the first point. Unless they're homeschooled. | ||
| Yeah, unless the moms... | ||
| No, I hate to say it. If you're homeschooled, tell the homeschooled kids. | ||
| Remember when I was when I first started, they were all like the nerdy kids. | ||
| That ain't the case anymore. | ||
| The homeschool kids are on point. | ||
| And for all the homeschool families, the homeschool kids, I meet them at these things. | ||
| They look you in the eye. They got a good handshake. | ||
| And hey, they ain't playing any of this nonsense. | ||
| They're in the government-run schools. | ||
| This is parents. They're dedicating. | ||
| Those kids are on point. So they come, and they're up to speed. | ||
| They do. They know what's going on. | ||
| They know the most horrific regimes of the last century were all communists. | ||
| And it's like people just- Atheist. | ||
| Yeah, atheist, communist, Russia, hundreds of millions killed. | ||
| And they don't just wave their hands and forget about it. | ||
| That's in their mind. That's real. | ||
| Modern society is like, let's just move on. | ||
| You see the rich suburbs and just whatever. | ||
| Let's just move on. | ||
| We're getting rich. We're buying consumer goods, whatever. | ||
| Not at Liberty. These kids are very serious about their religion. | ||
| At Liberty, it's biblical religion. | ||
| They're very steeped in the Bible. | ||
| Everything is the Bible. | ||
| You can wax philosophical, and I love doing that, but the check is always the book. | ||
| The check is always what's in the book. | ||
| You've got stuff coming up on transhumanism. | ||
| The students are very interested in this new AI world, the blockchain world, the crypto thing. | ||
| I walk in Any of you following crypto, every hand in the room goes up. | ||
| They all know intuitively something's going on here. | ||
| You have to follow crypto. It's one of the things we've got to stop the government from doing their own crypto. | ||
| It's ridiculous. Crypto is going to be an alternative at some point in time, just like precious metals is. | ||
| And so we just go, I think, through history. | ||
| You use history. | ||
| All the great schools were founded on Christian principles. | ||
| Harvard, the motto in 1640 was truth for Christ in church. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just shocking. Boy, they cut that motto. | |
| It's just veritas, just truth. | ||
| And it's not just Harvard. | ||
| It's Yale, Princeton, and all of the public. | ||
| Brown, all of them. All of them were Christian schools 100 % for hundreds of years. | ||
| And it's all covered in the book, The Soul of the American University, if you want to take a look. | ||
| A great read. | ||
| The American University today is soulless. | ||
| Yeah, soulless. And it's intentionally soulless, right? | ||
| And it was cut off by philosophy. | ||
| Are these young scholars thirsty for this? | ||
| Do they thirst for this understanding of the world into a biblical frame of reference? | ||
| They grow into that thirst because a lot of them have gone to public schools, and they have not been trained that they have a soul and that the soul has desire to reach to God, to the good. | ||
| And so that's... | ||
| They're growing into that wisdom piece. | ||
| And then they're sheltered from the world a little bit. | ||
| Some of the kids are so innocent, they don't want to have to face this nasty, brutish world we deal with on this show every day. | ||
| It's just a shock to them. | ||
| And they're like, that's evil. | ||
| I want to hang out with good people. | ||
| But we're trying to move into the world. | ||
| Can you show them how to be in the world but not of it? | ||
| Isn't that the key? | ||
| To be in the world and not of it? | ||
| I mean, that's what Paul and Peter had to do in Rome, right, when they went to the Gentiles. | ||
| You can't always – you've got to go out into the world. | ||
| That's why the Gospel of Mark is what the Gospel of Power is. | ||
| You've got to go – of course, Christ is – he's an exorcist. | ||
| He's driving out the devil every second. | ||
| Well, that's what's interesting. I just read through Matthew again. | ||
| Our church is going through Matthew again. | ||
| And you just read through that with a different, put on different spectacles, ask different questions every time you read a book. | ||
| And just go through and identify when Jesus met every single person along the way. | ||
| It's a very interesting way. | ||
| And a lot of this wealth, prosperity, gospel stuff, I don't see any of that in Matthew. | ||
| When Jesus, he knows there's basically your everyday sinner, there's the wicked, and there's the evil. | ||
| There's three buckets. And he knows who he's dealing with. | ||
| And there's his wisdom. | ||
| And there ain't no high-five and, hey, have a great day. | ||
| Let's go grab a Starbucks. | ||
| Some of these young kids are, you know, it's okay. | ||
| I was young and whatever, right? | ||
| But go read through Matthew and Jesus meets you. | ||
| Even the apostles, come over here. | ||
| What are you dense? | ||
| Can't you follow this? I'm telling you this. | ||
| They never quite get at the verse. No, no, no. | ||
| Don't feel bad if you don't get it the first time. | ||
| Just read the New Testament. | ||
| Keep reading. The posse, the internal, his vanguard never quite got it the first time. | ||
| Had to explain it, had to break it down. | ||
| Right, right. Additional instruction. | ||
| Okay, we've got to bounce. How did they get your stuff you're putting up on Ghettos? | ||
| Amazing. Yep, yep. | ||
