steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
I've got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
ben bergquam
The people have had a belly full of it.
steve bannon
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
MAGA media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
ben bergquam
Just had those eight guys and one girl cross over right down behind me.
I called into the sector headquarters, and this is what they said.
I've got six climbing down right now, and there's eight.
I saw three already run into the U.S. So you said you've got nobody out here?
unidentified
Mm-hmm. And you're probably close to BSI 335.
ben bergquam
There's a dirt road that runs into where I'm at, and that's what—it's AR 430.
That's the 430 road, mm-hmm.
Yeah, the 430 road, and they're climbing down the ladder as we speak about a mile east of that.
Just a heads up, if you want to let them know, there'll be a group of about eight going through.
I mean, I saw another group about two miles back doing the same thing.
So it's just wide open out here, huh?
unidentified
Yes, sir. That sucks.
ben bergquam
Film it! I am.
unidentified
I am. Thank you for calling it in, but we have nobody to work with, sir.
Manpower is nil.
ben bergquam
God bless you, brother. Yeah, hopefully we get somebody in office that'll actually let you guys do your jobs, huh?
unidentified
Heard, sir. Heard. Thank you, sir.
ben bergquam
God bless you. You too, sir.
unidentified
I want to play that again.
ben bergquam
Secretary Marcus, listen to this.
America, listen to this.
Listen to what he just told me.
unidentified
Thank you for calling it in, but we have nobody to work with, sir.
Manpower is nil.
ben bergquam
Nobody. They have nobody.
Nobody to stop that.
He said film it.
God bless them. God bless Border Patrol.
But man, we need people in office who actually put America first again.
unidentified
Okay, welcome.
steve bannon
It's Wednesday, 5 July, year of Lord 2023.
While the nation was celebrating Independence Day from the British Empire, at least the signing of the Declaration.
I want to make sure everybody understands the whole...
Situation in 1776.
As I said yesterday, the signing of the Declaration is very important, but you had, what, an eight-year war in front of you.
And particularly from 4 July to Christmas night, it was nothing but a series of just defeat after defeat after defeat after defeat.
And many, many people changing sides, including, I think, one of the signers of the Declaration itself.
We'll get into all that the entire month we've deemed here in the war room It's Pride Month.
Pride in our nation.
Pride in what our nation stands for.
Pride in the sovereignty of our nation.
Pride in the citizens of our nation.
And particularly pride in old glory.
The American flag.
Not the flag of the perverts and the degenerates in debauchery.
And everything they've brought, including a lot over this weekend.
A lot of devastation and hurt.
Given the radical nature of this ideology that we're up against, Dr.
Miriam Grossman is going to join us in the second hour to talk about that.
We are packed today.
I want to go to Eagle Pass, Texas, and Ben Burkwine.
We've also got some great B-roll.
Ben, as Americans celebrated the 4th with fireworks or with drone displays, patriotic music, backyard music, Barbecue, hopefully watching the war room as we went through the history of the revolution.
The people inside our government, inside the apparatus, are working nonstop to exacerbate an invasion of this country.
Are they not, sir?
Is that okay? Can we get a sound up?
Okay. We might have lost him.
It's a very tough... He's down at Eagle Pass, Texas.
A very tough situation down there.
Because over the weekend, there's all these...
By the way, if we can't get him up, just have him call in.
We can play the B-roll. We can get him on the phone.
All weekend, all you heard...
From the Biden regime was how it's all-time lows and crossing the border.
That's all lies. As Todd's been showing you, because they've reworked the system.
They've reworked the system to have these humanitarian passes and the app and all that.
All they're doing is getting people to organize deeper in Mexico and to fly them deep into the United States.
Okay? So this goes...
You know, unstopped.
What, 225,000 to 285,000 per month, which is more than the armies that stormed Normandy?
This is an absolute invasion.
We talk about Independence Day.
When in our country's history have we ever allowed and exacerbated an invasion?
And this is an invasion of By, exacerbated by forces in this regime.
CNN this morning, absolute, total, complete meltdown, if you look at their lead story, by the smartest guy over there, Stephen Collinson.
They put him on The Real Stories, and they're talking about Trump's show of force in South Carolina, and obviously the polling that's come out in the last couple of days, and members of DeSantis' campaign finally acknowledging, you know, that this thing is a failure to launch DeSantis, and he continues. They've done this on!
Okay, hang on.
I'll give you a second. Now that I'm on a roll, you don't fill your slot in the war room, baby.
I have no problem talking.
They're now in total panic mode.
And why are they in panic mode?
They know Trump is not going to tolerate any of this stuff.
They had this article the other day about the most radical policies being talked about that are maybe not getting attention in the campaign.
And they talked about it. I think it's Vivek wants to increase the age of voters and Nikki Haley wants to have a – Have a test for everybody over 70, although her policies are a throwback to these irrelevant neoliberal neocon policies.
She wants to have a test to see if Trump is sharp enough, right, anybody over 70.
That's like not a vent.
Some of the most... Meaningful policies President Trump are talking about all the time.
He's talking about the deportation and DeSantis agrees with him.
So that means, what, 85% of the voting base of the Republican Party.
They're talking about a mass deportation of this invasion force.
A mass deportation.
President Trump's also taken away the sham of the birthright citizenship, which is another sham.
His policy is what he's talking about to blunt this invasion.
Because this invasion keeps unabated.
You're not going to have a country.
You're simply not going to have a country.
And if you think, oh, this is a replacement of the white...
No, no. The people being hurt most in this are American citizens that happen to be African American and or Hispanic.
Okay? Because this is flooding the zone with low-skilled...
Men, essentially, fighting-age males.
Does that strike you as odd?
Fighting-age males that are flooding the country.
We're going to have Harnwell in here for a second to talk about France and what Nigel Farage has been talking about.
Nigel Farage over there getting debanked by every financial institution in the United Kingdom.
Why? He's throwing down hard on this immigration fiasco they have in the United Kingdom.
France is right now in full meltdown.
Le Pen is on TV saying, hey, you know, we've got to get rid of Macron right now.
I think they cut off the internet, parts of the internet over the weekend of this uprising.
It's an uprising in France.
You're seeing it right here on the southern border.
If you go back and look at the, when Pancho Villa, this is not often talked about because it happened right at the beginning stages of World War I. When Pancho Villa had a fallout with his other revolutionaries in Mexico, he struck into the United States at Columbus, New Mexico, I think early in March of 1916, where they sent General Pershing and went on this punitive expedition to set things right.
But before that...
I think it was in 1914, when Pancho Villa was at the top of his game, and Pancho Villa was an amazing guerrilla fighter.
He had, I think at that time, an army of, it was estimated maybe 40,000, essentially cavalry.
It was very effective.
He took a meeting.
This is what the Germans all over New Mexico – I mean all over Mexico.
The Germans were in back of a lot that was going on with the other revolutionary groups and the groups that eventually came to power because the Germans wanted to tie the Americans up on their southern border in the early stages of World War I. Pancho Villa took a meeting with a Japanese representative – I think it was in 1914 – And the Japanese representative laid out to Pancho Villa said, look, if we ever come to a conflict between Japan and the United States, can we cut a secret treaty with you right now?
You. You're not a head of the government, but just your military force.
And people thought he might be head of the government one day.
Could we make a deal with you right now that we will fund you, we'll give you money, but cut a deal right now.
If we are ever to the future to come in conflict with the United States of America, that you would be an ally.
And Pancho Villa at that time, in 1914, had good relationship with the United States, says, no, I won't do that.
1914, the Japanese were always thinking geostrategically.
Why? The soft underbelly of the southern border.
In the years before Wilson got us into World War I, the whole big fight down on the southern border, the whole part of the northern part of what's called the Mexican Revolution, fought in the northern states of Mexico and on the southern border.
Was very much geostrategically looked by the enemies of this country as the soft underbelly of this country.
And that is a long time before the situation we have today.
Do you think Pershing and the people in those days were allowed this type of invasion to happen?
And done by your government and these NGOs?
Let's see, do we have Ben Burkwam up?
We've got amazing footage right there.
Ben, I think we've got contact with you now from Eagle Pass, Texas.
Tell us what's going on.
unidentified
Well, just to answer the question, and it's ironic, you mentioned Columbus, New Mexico.
That is actually the exact spot where I was filming that, that cold open you did, where I called into Border Patrol.
I was in between the Santa Teresa Border Patrol Station and Columbus, New Mexico.
It's a 20-mile stretch, and there was no one.
There was no Border Patrol. And the scariest, and I'm going to start with a number that I was told by Border Patrol.
They said in the area between Just over Cristo Rey, Mount Cristo Rey on the east and Santa Teresa Border Patrol Station, they're apprehending between 700 and 1,000 people per day.
These are all the people that don't want to get caught.
But the Border Patrol officer official that I spoke to said that they estimate that it's anywhere between 2,000 and 5,000 that are coming through that section every single day.
Now, I went out further west between Santa Teresa and Columbus, New Mexico, as you mentioned, where Pancho Villa was, and there is nobody...
I drove. I haven't released this footage yet.
I'm going to send it to you first, Steve, afterwards.
But there is ladder after ladder after ladder.
I came up on group after group after group that was climbing over the walls.
You can see these guys right here.
These guys were actively climbing over the walls as I drove up on them.
And it's wide open.
Now, take that into consideration.
The reason this is happening, as I went down, I started my trip in El Paso, Texas, met up with Paula White and her awesome team down there doing actually some real good, great work.
This is another one of the groups that was climbing over as I was calling.
As we were driving by the mountain, you can see in the distance there, that's Mount Cristo Rey.
I saw guys up on top of the mountain, so I flew my drone up on top of the mountain.
As I'm flying the drone, they start throwing rocks at the drone.
These are the guys that are going to be coming into your community.
In fact, they're already in our community.
The entire mountaintop is controlled.
And you know this area well, Steve.
This is where we the people built the wall, that amazing project, the start of the wall on the El Paso side.
This entire mountain range now is covered with illegals every single day that basically play Red Rover, Red Rover.
They run down, they rush the border, they'll send three or four at a time.
And then they'll wait and then send their drugs.
This is just one part.
Then I came down.
steve bannon
Go ahead. Ben, hang on.
I'm going to hold you through the next break.
If you have not seen the movie Sicario, put that on your list of things to watch.
Watch the movie Sicario.
They have a sequel to it, but definitely watch Sicario.
Sicario is about El Paso and Juarez and the cartels and what they're doing to go there.
The Rio Grande forms the border all the way from the Gulf of Mexico right there to the New Mexico border.
That's where about a half a mile from where Ben is at the top of that all the way down is where we built the wall.
Because why? The Border Patrol said the Army Corps of Engineers can't get it done.
We need that because that's where they traffic the most women and children across.
That is the number one place up to Mount Cristo Rey.
On the other side, as Ben Burkwam says, For 40 miles.
50 miles. There's absolutely no wall.
There's a little bit of wall on the other side, but that's it.
It's just an absolute disgrace that it's coming through.
short break, Ben Burquam at the border next.
Okay, we've got Burquam down on the southern border here.
He's at El Paso. He's at Eagle Pass, Texas.
We have Ben Harnwell in Rome.
We're going to get Michael Yan in Armenia.
We've got Darren Beattie.
This is all of a piece.
This is an assault on the Judeo-Christian West.
And it is relenting, unrelenting.
Okay? And so we are going to get to the bottom of it.
And this is what the 2024 election is about.
This is about the sovereignty of your nation.
So you finished with your barbecue.
You got a couple of hot dogs, a couple of hamburgers, saw some fireworks, or maybe a drone display.
Now you're ready to go back to work because this is an urgent matter.
Your nation's under assault.
And they want to say, oh, there's no more people coming through here.
We got it all set. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Every month is bigger than the force that hit Normandy on D-Day.
There's almost as many folks coming across there every month as Patton had in his Third Army.
And as we know from Michael Yon's great reporting from the Darien Gap, as we know from Ben Burkholm's great reporting from the Darien Gap, and all the great team of Real America's Voice, you know, Oscar Blue and the entire team.
You know that now many of these are Chinese nationals that, hey, are these Lao Ba Jing that are looking for freedom or are these guys coming over as part of the PLA? Who's coming over from Russia?
Who's coming over from Ukraine?
This thing is an open – we have an open border.
Let me repeat, in 1914, the Japanese government approached Pancho Villa at the top of his game and said, hey, just, you know, if we ever, not did anything, if we ever came to this, if we're ever going to have a war between ourselves and the United States, this is Japan, an island off of Asia, if we're ever going to have a war, can we kind of deal with you now and start giving you money now that you would be an ally?
In 1914. Don't think that geostrategically the southern border of the United States is a major chit in this game.
It is. And right now you have a regime.
You know, the feral dogs that are in the White House, the Biden regime, feral dogs and everybody associated with them.
Of course, you only found cocaine there over the weekend.
Oh, but now it's in a public area where people go on tours.
Tours could have definitely dropped it.
You got the feral dogs.
Ben Berquam, you took that footage near Columbus, Mexico, where in 1916 there was an invasion of the United States.
A bunch of, I think there were nine civilians, seven soldiers killed, something like that.
This is right after Pancho Villa had executed in cold blood, I think 18 mining, American mining executives and miners are down to reopen a mine just south, about 80 miles south or 100 miles south.
I think it was south of El Paso, Texas, had executed in cold blood, stripped him, stood him up against a train, and shot him in the head.
So give us your assessment.
unidentified
Yeah, as we were celebrating Fourth of July, the cartels and the Democrats are invading America, and that's the tragedy of what's happening right now.
I went from El Paso, now I'm in Eagle Pass, but on my way between, I stopped in Del Rio, Texas, just to get a sense of what's going on there, and not to listen to what's happening in Washington, D.C. As you mentioned, what they're telling you in Washington, D.C., they're saying the numbers are down, but that's only because they've changed the definition of what illegal is.
Basically, all these people that they're putting under CBP-1 Now they're considering them legal when they know the vast majority, over 90% of those people, won't qualify for whatever it is that they're claiming they have a right to be in our country.
So the numbers aren't going down.
And all you have to do is look at the NGOs.
I stopped at the NGO in Valverde, Texas.
Bus after bus after bus load goes in there every single day.
I saw three buses load up yesterday.
I saw three more buses waiting to load up behind them.
Now, all of these people are being brought from places like Eagle Pass, also places like Del Rio coming across from Acuna.
I then went from Del Rio.
I came down here to Eagle Pass, and I stopped by the facility, the processing center.
This is a massive, massive processing center, billion-dollar processing center, where now they're having at least 2,000 people a day continue to go through this place.
These are all illegals that they're now claiming are legal, and I ended up down here under the bridge.
I'm under the bridge right now, and as I was flying down here, I've witnessed, again, this is the fight that we have right here, is between the Texas DPS and Border Patrol.
Texas DPS is set up.
They won't actually even let you down to the river.
The river's just down behind me, about 150 yards.
They won't let you down there because they're controlling this.
They basically took it over from Border Patrol.
They set up razor wire, and they're trying to slow down the people coming in.
The sad reality is, even yesterday, Border Patrol was cutting.
They were given orders from Washington, D.C. to cut the barbed wire and allow the illegals to come in.
The invasion is not slowing down, Steve.
It's continuing. Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down.
steve bannon
I want to repeat that.
In the old days, when they called the Texas Rangers in, things were sorted down on the border, okay?
They had a huge war down on the Rio Grande Valley in this time called the Bandit War.
Massive, massive, I mean massive fight down in the Rio Grande Valley in this entire time, in the 19...
1911, 1912, 1916, that era, during the Mexican Revolution.
Huge fight. Texas Rangers were brought down.
By the way, we've got Jan coming in from Armenia.
I've got Ben Harnwell in Rome.
This is all of a piece, and we're going to lay the case out for you.
Also, the movie Sound of Freedom.
Remember, Sound of Freedom, as Edwarder has told us.
Vestige has told us all the production side of it, all the supply side is coming from Mexico.
Now, there are many countries involved, but it's all coming up through Mexico.
Right? That's right. It's been projected now as Indiana Jones bombs because it's another offensive, ridiculous movie put out by Disney and people do not want to support the groomer policies of Disney.
As this movie bombs, Sound of Freedom is projected to do $20 million in its first week and maybe more.
Theaters are sold out all over.
The Sound of Freedom gets exactly to the heart of this.
The importation with the cartels and others associated with the U.S. government involved in the trafficking of women and children for sex.
This movie is catching on like nobody's business.
Go to angel.com slash horror room right now.
Get a ticket. Send a message to Hollywood.
But it's exactly about this issue we're covering this morning that nobody wants to talk about.
Burquam, go back. What did the Texas Rangers, what did DPS do and tell the audience what their taxpayer money, the good folks of the Border Patrol, forced by Washington, D.C., by this regime of feral dogs, what the regime of feral dogs forced the noble officers of Border Patrol to do, sir? Yeah, the DPS is behind me.
unidentified
They are controlling the area from the river port, just at bridge one, all the way down to several miles down to a pecan orchard, down to the west, or to the east, excuse me.
And they set up razor wire.
They're stopping people from coming in.
And I spoke to some of them yesterday.
They said they know they can't stop them all, but the idea is to make it so uncomfortable for them that they turn around and go back.
And they've actually had some success with that.
The problem now is Border Patrol has been given orders from Washington, D.C., to go and cut their razor wire.
Yesterday, it happened while I was down here.
The Border Patrol went up.
They had a group of illegals that had come across.
DPS was down there trying to prevent them from coming in, telling them to go to the port of entry, to come in legally.
And Border Patrol was told, given orders, to go and cut the razor wire and let them in.
And as you mentioned, Steve, this is a global issue.
This is being done by the very people that claim to be Christians.
This is an absolute godless, demonic movement happening, not just here in America, but around the world to destabilize and undermine Western Christian nations, basically.
And that's what's happening here, but it's happening in every nation.
If we don't come to terms with that, if we don't understand that, we are dead as a nation.
steve bannon
Yeah. This is why they're so crazed.
Jack Smith's going to have another 65 charges against Trump.
And he's shopping now for a judge.
He's going to New Jersey, everywhere.
They're crazed. Don't take it from Steve Bannon.
Look at CNN's lead story.
Look at that blazing headline.
Trump's show of force in South Carolina has totally freaked out the establishment.
It's a bad warning for...
This is a news service. It's a bad warning for America.
A guy running for president is a bad warning for America.
Let's get to Michael Yan. Hang on for a second, Ben.
Just hang on. Let's go to Michael Yan.
Michael, you're in Armenia.
You've seen this from day one of Afghanistan.
You've seen it all over.
You've done the Darien Gap.
You know about the PLA guys coming up, Russian, all of them.
Walk us through what you're seeing over that part of the world and how does it connect?
michael yon
Hey, Steve. Hey Ben, I've been actually exactly where Ben is.
I've spent like a month there on that, exactly where he's standing, and on the Mexican side.
In fact, I've done some live hits with you, Steve, from that Mexican side.
In fact, here's a map that's handed out in the Darien Gap that shows right where Ben is.
It shows the migrants how to get across, the aliens how to get across right there.
And it's got a number on the map.
This is handed out to aliens coming through the Darien Gap.
That's where Ben is.
And it has two numbers here, 67 and 68.
And it tells you who to call.
It tells you who to call there for assistance.
So that would be Casa del Peregrino Plantera Digna.
And then another one is Punto de Asistica Cruz Roja, Mexico.
It's got their numbers and email addresses and all that.
These are very detailed maps.
This is a complete corporate-sized invasion, right?
These are handed out to all the people coming through, including the rape kits.
Steve, did I ever show you the rape kit?
Did I ever show you the rape kit?
The rape kit? I've got it right here.
steve bannon
If you haven't, show us again.
michael yon
We want to see that. I got it right here with me.
This is the rape kit.
I've got it all the way in Armenia from Darien Gap.
These are handed out in Columbia at Nkokli, where Ben was.
Ben is very familiar with Nkokli, because he went through the Darien Gap, unbelievably, and survived.
And so they hand out these rape kits there, and they have female condoms because they know that the women and children get raped constantly.
Ben was in a firefight, actually.
As Centerfront killed some rapists, and he filmed that firefight, did a great job.
They hand out male condoms.
Oscar Blue was with him, by the way.
They hand out these abortion pills, the after-action pills, the after-rape pills, and whatever.
And they're handing out The Darien Gap who ended up coming across at a rate of about – nobody knows how many illegal aliens are coming into the United States every day.
I talk with Border Patrol all the time, as do you, as does Ben.
steve bannon
Hey, Michael, hang on one second.
We're going to take a – Pensible number.
Yes, sir. 10,000. Hang on.
Just hang on right there. We're going to take a short commercial break.
We've got Michael Young in Armenia.
Ben Berquam in Eagle Pass, Texas.
Ben Harnwell in Rome.
Darren Beattie's going to join us.
The invasion of the southern border of the United States of America and President Donald Trump's plan to thwart this next in the world.
unidentified
Host Stephen K. Band.
steve bannon
Okay, let's go to Michael Yan, back in Armenia, a global invasion of the Judeo-Christian West, and you're seeing the results of that in France.
If you don't think that's coming to a town near you, you would be absolutely incorrect.
I just want to make sure people understand, and if we can get up that lead, I haven't put it up on Getter yet, but the lead on, and I'll send you the headline, it might change to CNN. The CNN headline this morning was absolutely, in fact, I've got to read this, if you just give me a second.
The CNN headline was absolutely unbelievable about Trump.
You know, this is going to be the worst thing in the history of the country.
Trump's policies. I just want to make sure I go back because they're saying, oh, the biggest policy out there is Vivix.
You know, they want to raise the age or Nikki Haley is really saying you've got to have a check for people over 75.
That's all nonsense. That's all marginalia.
What Trump is saying, and he's repeating it all the time, Mass deportations of everybody that's coming to this country illegally, and this includes gaming the asylum system, right?
And Trump's talked 10 to 12 million people.
Number two, he's going to put forward immediately, stop this nonsense on the birthright citizenship immediately.
But also what Trump is advocating, and DeSantis is agreeing with him on this, is, and remember, that's 85% of the Republican voting bloc right now, maybe even 90%.
He says deep interdictions, paramilitary interdictions or military interdictions into Mexico to take down the cartels, to crush the cartels once and forever.
Cut them off financially, all that, but I mean direct either paramilitary or military assault.
And death penalty for drug traffickers and I would assume human traffickers also, particularly the traffickers of women and children for sex.
The people feeding the pedophilia, quite frankly, demand here in the United States, death penalty, right?
So these are Trump's policies and DeSantis is agreeing with every one.
So this is not like some, oh, this is not fringe.
This is central. And why is it central?
Look what's happening in France.
Look what's happening in France.
If you don't think that's coming to a big city near you in the United States of America, you are incorrect because the same people in France were criticizing myself and Nigel Farage and Rahim Kassam 10 years ago, or 5 years ago during the Syrian, or 15 during the Syrian situation, but even before that, when we were warning them that this day is coming.
Michael Yan, you've been all over the globe and probably the leading person to identify this and say, hey, this is just not some random event in Eagle Pass, Texas.
The map shows you that these NGOs are driving them up to Eagle Pass, Texas.
Your assessment from Armenia, sir?
michael yon
Right. As you know, Steve, anywhere I go is of strategic interest.
And I was in Lithuania before the war started warning about this because of the migration issue.
The, let's say, invasion issue, the Belarusians were pushing people, trying to push them into Poland, trying to push them into Lithuania.
They did not, the Lithuanians allowed a few in, and then I flew up from Morocco to, because I was down in Morocco looking at the same thing, and Greece, same thing.
And so I flew up to Lithuania, and they allowed me access to the camps for five weeks.
I interviewed all the people I wanted to talk with, including Lithuanian intelligence and their Political leaders and that sort of thing.
The reason I've given this sort of access is because I was with them in the Afghan war.
And so they know me from the war.
So that just allowed me to walk right in and basically get some keys to the camps.
And Lithuania was another canary in the coal mine when those aliens were being pushed in.
This is global. When we talk about places like Texas, where I'll be back to Texas soon, I'm going to go across the entire border of the United States again from Boca Chica, SpaceX, all the way to San Diego, every step of the way again.
This time with some very sophisticated equipment, watching this and live streaming.
But Texas is just one battlefield.
In fact, on the global scale, it's a small battlefield.
And Texas Governor Abbott, who is in charge, obviously, of the DPS, which is down there squaring off with the National Guard.
Texas Governor Abbott is a stooge for the World Economic Forum.
He's on their website.
He's basically the Texas sector leader for World Economic Forum.
That border is not closed.
That's just show with DPS between DPS and National Guard.
There is no closure of the Texas border.
It's all show.
He's been doing show the whole time.
Steve, at one point, I was on live with you on the show, and this was back when, when Maybe two years ago, and Abbott was saying – How they're closing down that border at Eagle Pass, where actually Ben's at now.
And I was watching them cross the river while I was live with you.
They were literally crossing the river while Abbott's saying that the border's closed, and I'm live with you, and they're crossing.
And the National Guard's helping them up the bank.
Now, the idea that the DPS, the Department of Public Safety of Texas, It's actually stopping this is absolutely nonsense.
They're actually helping it as well.
There's some great people in DPS. There's some great people in the National Guard.
But the organism as a whole is definitely captured.
We see the U.S. military, Southcom, down in Darien Gap.
We watched their UH-60s and CH-47s flying over.
Panama has none of those.
I've confirmed with SOUTHCOM those are our aircraft.
Our military is helping the flows through the Darien Gap.
I was there in April of 2022 when Mayorkas came down, the Secretary of Homeland Security.
He landed right in front of me.
I waited four days for him, and I predicted where he might come with helicopters, and he actually did.
And I threw the drone up in the air when their rotors stopped, and I droned while he was in the camp.
Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas has more than doubled the size of that San Vicente camp.
I just droned it again maybe a month or so ago when I was down there, and you can see the camp is actually not only far larger, but at least double the size, but it's also much more, let's say, industrial.
And they're doing this to the same with the other camps down in Panama.
Now, one thing that's important to keep in mind, Steve, is that about 2,000 people a day are coming through the Darien right now, of which about 200 are Chinese, right?
I just got the numbers for the other day.
That day was 148 Chinese, I think.
But usually it's about 200 a day.
And the Chinese have more money.
They have a lot of money, actually.
They pay to go through easier route because there's different routes in the Darien that you can go to.
Some are very difficult.
Some are much easier. And they can pay for the easier route where nobody gets raped and robbed because they pay in advance.
And the bottom line is, we know that Chinese spies are coming through.
That's a fact. And we've confirmed this.
I can send you the evidence.
I think I have already, actually.
And I've sent this evidence to FBI and CIA and everybody else.

Nobody does a thing. Michael, hang on for a second.

I want to go to Armenia and this whole situation, Morocco, because North Africa and the entire situation in Syria and the Middle East, what's happening in Armenia ties directly to France.
I'm going to get Ben in here in a second.
Walk me through what you're seeing.
You saw it in Morocco. Right?
This whole North African situation is exploding.
And you see, you know, the boats are coming back to Greece.
They're coming back to Italy.
There's a lot of controversy. Is Maloney being tough enough in this?
unidentified
Give us your assessment. Right.
michael yon
And Morocco, which is an ally of the United States, by the way, they were the first country to recognize the United States.
Thank you, Moroccans who are watching.
I enjoyed my time in Morocco, but at the same time, Morocco also is weaponizing migrants against the EU. For instance, Spain has two EU cities in Morocco called Souta and Melilla.
I did a live stream with you right outside of Souta, right outside the wall.
There's a big wall around Souta.
It's basically just a walled city.
A lot of people don't realize there's actually European cities in North Africa, in Morocco.
So as soon as the aliens can get over that wall, which they do in mass at times, they're now in the EU. And so they're afforded this, you know, this is like Camp of the Saints stuff right here.
I mean, once they get over that wall, they're in the EU and they're afforded legal protections, right?
So meanwhile, as you know, I spend a lot of time in Europe.
I was there in March covering the Dutch.
steve bannon
But hang on. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Yon, Yon, Yon, but you say they get, you know, it's camp of the saints when they get to the, when they get to the EU. Tell me the difference. You got the NGOs, I mean, Ben's all over these NGOs. You got the NGOs that are exacerbating Catholic charities being the worst. Once they get it, once they cross in, once they touch soil in the US, they're essentially in with it. They get a food stamp card, they get a phone, they get all of it.
There's not that much difference, maybe a difference in degree, but not in kind of what's happening in the EU in the United States, is it, sir? It's basically the same because, you know, again, I'm doing this everywhere.
michael yon
I'm doing this in North Africa.
I'm doing it across Europe and across the United States, from Colombia to Panama, all over Mexico.
It's the same. It's the same story.
It's the same people behind it.
World Economic Forum is the principal engine behind this.
Of course, CCP is actually involved as well.
As you know, they just finished with Summer Davos over there, right?
And so this is quite interesting.
I'm in Armenia now.
For those who don't know much about Armenia, it's Many Armenians will call it Asia.
Some will call it Europe. Actually, weirdly, the left-wingers tend to call it Europe.
Interesting. Anyway, I call it Asia.
It seems to be Asia to me.
But it's mostly a Christian country, but it's also under assault.
Like last night, I spent several hours with a group of people.
There were some Iraqis from Karbala.
As you know, I spent two years in Iraq.
I'd been in their city. It's a Shia city.
They were Shia, actually. There were Syrians in this group.
There were Jordanians.
There were one Egyptian that I spoke with for at least an hour and people from other countries.
Interestingly, the Egyptian was upset.
He said that he left Egypt due to human rights issues, but now he's in Armenia, which is a very peaceful country where I'm at now, actually.
The edges are at war.
They've had a significant war in recent times because this country, it's got limited days in my view.
But this Egyptian is here.
He was angry last night when I was talking with him because the Armenians will not give him a house.
And he was straight up going, they're violating my human rights.
I need a place to live and the Armenian government will not give me a house.
So he just randomly show up from Egypt.
Actually, he said that he was assigned to Armenia.
Steve, did you get what I just said?
steve bannon
He said he was assigned to come to Armenia from an NGO. Michael, hang on for one second.
It's the NGOs. I want to go to Ben Harnwell in Rome.
Ben, tie this together with what has happened, this civil war that's breaking out in France, sir.
ben harnwell
Morning, Steve. Morning, Michael.
Well, yes. I mean, the situation here, I mean, we've all been following this over the last week or so in France, has been absolutely horrific.
It started off in Paris, in Nantes, just in the northwestern suburb.
And then it spread to other cities around France.
And it spread beyond France as well.
If I can call on my first video shot from Denver as I talk, I'll talk over the back of this.
And it spread to Switzerland.
It spread to...
To Brussels, the capital of Belgium.
And I have a take on this, Steve, which I will then expand according to the time that you're going to give me.
I basically think what we're seeing here...
I'm going to use a term that you popularised in a different area.
We're basically seeing the Thucydides trap being applied here on an intranational level.
Now, the war in Posse will remember, of course, that the Thucydides trap is that concept which basically says that war is inevitable.
When a reigning hegemon, a reigning cultural or economic power is declining and is about to be replaced by an ascending cultural power to replace it.
You've often applied that to exactly the situation that the US What we're seeing here in Europe is that principle being applied within a single nation.
We're seeing a declining Population, peoples, the ethnic European French declining, declining demographically, plummeting, and a rising confident and strong population that has taken over.
steve bannon
Hang on, don't bury your lead.
What you're seeing in the Thucydides trap, which was originally about in the Peloponnesian War, about Athens and Sparta...
It's been taken by Kissinger to look at the United States and China.
Your brilliant assessment on the intro is the managed decline by our elites of these countries and the rising power of who they've led in the country.
The Thucydides trap in France.
Jan can tell you throughout the world he's seen it.
That's really the purpose of his life.
Ben Burkram at Texas.
We're going to continue on in the war room in just a moment.

Okay, Jack Smith announcing that he's...
I shouldn't say announcing.
That would be unfair. Reports that he's looking at 65 additional charges.
I think it was on Friday.
Trump's, and this is a massive headline, Trump's early dominance should be a warning to America.
This is a news channel, should be a warning to America.
Sub-headline, the power of his personality, feral political appeal to his base voters in his primary polling should be a warning to Democrats.
Trump's early dominance should be a warning to America.
Sub-headline, the power of his personality, feral political appeal to his base voters, and his primary polling should be a warning to Democrats.
Steve Collison lifting Farrell, which I think we've made a thing here in the last couple of weeks, trying to reverse it back on us.
Trump's early dominance. Now, I want to go back to Trump's policies.
And he said this many, many times.
Mass deportations.
Now, we've only talked about the 10 million they're going to be on Biden's watch in the first go-round.
They're saying that's not good enough.
Trump's talking about all deportations.
But look, mass deportation, 10 to 12 million people.
No birthright citizenship.
Deep interdiction, either paramilitary or military interdictions to take out the cartels on Mexican soil, where their bases are.
And death sentences for drug traffickers, and I assume we'd throw in there after people see the movie...
A sound of freedom. And go to angel.com slash worm right now.
Get your ticket. Send a message.
After you see that movie, you'll put the human traffickers of children on that list, right, for sex.
All of that. And Ben Harnwell, and I've got now Darren Beattie.
I've got Jan. I've got Ben Burkwam down in Texas.
Harnwell, walk me through the Thucydides trap and how it applies to this situation.
Because, sir, that is quite a brilliant insight.
ben harnwell
Yeah. Thank you, Steve.
Well, I have to tip my hat to you because it was through you that I learned the concept.
Well, so once again, Thucydides' trap is that concept which illustrates how a declining hegemon, a declining Economic or military or cultural power irresistibly finds itself drawn to war with an ascending power that is about to replace it.
And it goes back, as you were saying, to the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta.
And it is applied between hegemonic powers, countries.
What I was suggesting is what we're seeing here in Paris, and of course in the offshoots of these riots and protests, is a declining power, a declining culture giving way to a stronger one.
And this is basically, you get this right across the European continent.
It's the Caucasian culture, ethnicity, if I may, with a Judeo-Christian culture, which has been replaced by progressivism and that has encouraged peoples who have nothing but contempt for this culture But hold on.
steve bannon
Hang on. Hang on. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's not about race. The progressives, I keep saying this.
You go outside the Supreme Court, the progressives are all white.
MSNBC is an entire white network.
Yeah, they got some, they have tokenism.
They have joy and reading some other people.
That's an entire white thing.
It's not about race. All the progressives, the progressive thinkers are all white.
This does not have anything to do with race.
The progressives are all white.
And they're the ones pushing multiculturalism, and they're the leaders of the movement.
Am I incorrect on that?
ben harnwell
There's part of that which is absolutely correct, that we're talking about sort of white, middle-class, progressive, liberal elites.
That is absolutely the people who is responsible for what we're saying.
unidentified
Hold it, hold it. You're sitting right there.
steve bannon
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
unidentified
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
steve bannon
I look at the EU. I look at that whole crowd.
That's all white pushing these policies.
Look, you've got the Vatican right in back of you.
The entire command of the Vatican is all white.
This is not about race.
All the progressives are all white.
They're using people of color, but it's all white.
It's anti-Judeo-Christian West.
And by the way, some of the people that are supposed to be part of the Judeo-Christian West are the leaders of this.
And it's quite obvious.
All the NGOs are all headed and funded by whites.
So they want you to confuse it.
They want you to fall in the trap to think it's race.
It's not about race at all.
It's not about race at all.
They're just using that.
Hang on for a second. I want to get Darren Beattie in here for a second.
Darren, give me your thoughts.
darren j beattie
Well, it's a very interesting discussion.
I've been following the issue in France with great interest.
And while the Thucydides trap is a useful heuristic in a number of contexts, I think here there's one Pretty critical element of disanalogy, as it were.
And that is, as far as my recollection goes, Thucydides' trap posits that there's a certain inevitability to war between an existing hegemon and a rising power threatening it.
And the existing hegemon will be fearful and threatened of the rising power.
But in the case of France, There isn't any meaningful antagonism to begin with because, as you're pointing out, it is the rulers of France.
It is the dominant culture within France that has welcomed its own destruction.
So there's no inherent antagonism and no threat in that sense of competing powers.
And in fact, If the French people, the asymmetry in actual power is so extreme that if the French people actually had the guts and the will, they could completely liquidate this problem in a week.
That's how easy it would be.
They could liquidate the problem in a week if they had true faith, true will, and true strength.
But the reality is that they don't.
unidentified
And they welcome this problem into their own border.
steve bannon
You mean by if they had the back of the police?
The police could shut this thing down in a week if the political elites in France, who happen to be all white?
I just want to make sure people understand this.
The entire political infrastructure in France that's allowing this is totally 100% white.
