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've tried 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 lie? | ||
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. Vance. | |
Okay, welcome. It is a Tuesday, 11 July, year of our Lord, 2023. | ||
I want to go immediately, because of the severity of the climate down there, or the weather down there, to Todd Benzman's in Mexico. | ||
Pretty hot. I want to make sure the equipment works. | ||
Todd, and I know you've got a lot to report. | ||
I want to get to it. But I just want to reiterate something. | ||
Of all the times you've been on our show and given us very disturbing reports, You said something yesterday that I got more feedback than anything. | ||
You said that the Border Patrol, who are good people, we know the Border Patrol agents, etc., they have to respond to orders. | ||
But they were actually, on the American side of the border... | ||
Whereas Abbott, because he's getting so much pressure from this audience to take some action, that DPS and the DPS officials you were with, the officers, the Texas Rangers, DPS, etc., are actually working to try to somehow have a show of force, what they call hold the line, that the Border Patrol guys were ordered to come around and cut the barbed wire and make it more accessible and actually be an active concierge service for these illegal aliens coming through. | ||
I just want to reiterate to our audience, What exactly is going on there? | ||
Because I've never gotten feedback for any of your segments, and trust me, I've gotten a lot of feedback on your segments before. | ||
What's going on on the Texas side of the border, sir? | ||
That's right. Well, this morning, I'm on the Mexican side. | ||
I'm in Piedras Negras. | ||
And all morning long, I have been watching groups of migrants. | ||
I don't know if you can see them, but they're on the Texas side right over there, stuck on this side of the razor wire. | ||
That's because on the other side of the razor wire are Texas DPS. Texas National Guard who won't let them pass. | ||
So all morning long, those are the ones that have stayed. | ||
They're coming back over here, and they're cruising up and down the riverbank looking for border patrol agents. | ||
They told us, we want American immigration because they will let us in. | ||
When we can find them so there's this hunt for border patrol going on on this side, because that's Mayorkas, and the policy is to let everybody in, and they all know it over here. | ||
But if they run into Texas, they're going to find this kind of stuff, fortifications. | ||
There are literally thousands and thousands of yards of cleared Barbed wire razor thousands of yards going down for miles down the river this way and that way, all put in place by Texas. | ||
But in between here and there are Border Patrol agents that are kind of acting as, you know, not maybe on purpose, but as, you know, welcome flags come in. | ||
If you can get into our custody, you're in. | ||
And so this landscape is so complex, the geography, that invariably they find the Border Patrol and the Border Patrol lets them in. | ||
And so that's what's going on in Del Rio sector, which is probably one of the two hottest spots on the southern border right now. | ||
The other one is Tucson sector over in Arizona, where just huge numbers are just pouring in and being let in because the Arizona governor doesn't do anything like this. | ||
There's no impediment whatsoever. | ||
I want to go back to this because now this is like crazy land. | ||
Abbott responding to political pressure. | ||
And all the years, and you were in the Intel group over at Texas DPS when you first got started in this business. | ||
And the reason I even got involved in this with Brandon Darby and others 12, 13 years ago, when I was first with Andrew Breitbart, was because Texas DPS, one of the Intel guys, gave me a briefing that shocked me about the Rio Grande Valley. | ||
Have you ever seen it where the Texas DPS has been this aggressive in trying to stop the invasion? | ||
Have you ever seen DPS use the type of tools they're using now and have the sort of commitment to Project Operation Hold the Line? | ||
I've been covering this border for two and a half years, and I have not seen anybody block an actual migrant at the border until about May. | ||
In Matamoros, when I was covering the end of Title 42 on the Matamoros, Mexico side, Rio Grande Valley, thousands and thousands were pouring through right over the razor wire. | ||
And one morning I came down and it was Texas DPS was like a bunch of linebackers, you know, on an NFL line just blocking everybody. | ||
And they did it there successfully. | ||
The geography was amenable to really shutting down that whole sector. | ||
And they did shut that down with that tactic, hold the line. | ||
And now they're trying to expand it to other hotspots. | ||
Del Rio sector is not a very easy place. | ||
It's not as easy as that one to the south. | ||
But when you cruise the riverbanks here in either direction, you can see fortifications that look like the Maginot Line or something. | ||
Of course, we know what happened to the Maginot Line. | ||
But it is like an amazing fortification. | ||
They're putting in a marine water barrier about 300 or 400 yards down this way, and they're going to keep expanding that in the middle of the river with nets that hang down and are anchored down to the bottom of the river so that you can't swim under it, and you certainly can't get over it because there are these giant balls. | ||
So it would be interesting to see the media is going crazy over that. | ||
Lots of activists down here taking video of it, and I think there's already litigation about that one. | ||
But I think this is kind of like a battle zone that's worth watching. | ||
It's a hell of a story. | ||
I'm so glad that there's no media here because I get to tell it to your audience all along. | ||
There's nobody here. It's a great story. | ||
Nobody's here. No, this is what... I want to go back and just make sure people understand this because this is a positive development. | ||
I mean, we call people out when they should be called out. | ||
Governor Abbott's obviously responding to political pressure of this audience and particularly folks in the great state of Texas. | ||
Walk through the types of things you've seen. | ||
You've been riding with DPS. You know the DPS guys. | ||
You come out of DPS. Walk through what DPS is doing. | ||
The razor wire, the clearing the fields, the pontoons. | ||
Give us all the different elements, the linebacker moves. | ||
Walk us through all the elements of what DPS is doing to protect the great state of Texas. | ||
Well, the most effective thing that I've seen is they're blocking at the river behind the razor wire. | ||
It works. You can see it working right there. | ||
I've been interviewing the immigrants coming back to Mexico saying, we are foiled. | ||
We can't get in. | ||
We have to go find Border Patrol. | ||
So that's number one. National Guard and troopers are doing that. | ||
Number two is they are putting razor wire like that all along this whole sector every day, hundreds of more yards, and they're clearing the cane. | ||
The brush, the trees, the vegetation, so that you can't hide. | ||
And so there's bulldozing operations going on for thousands and thousands of yards in all directions. | ||
Two is that there are these islands in the middle of the river that are popular for immigrants to half-cross and then kind of hide and look for an opening. | ||
And then, well, DPS has occupied those islands. | ||
And they've planted the flags, Texas flag, and then they've implemented their trespassing, arrest, and prosecution. | ||
If you show up on Texas land, we will arrest you and put you through a misdemeanor prosecution. | ||
Pain in the ass, that thing. | ||
But, you know, it's something. | ||
One island that was a 40-acre island, they've just filled it in and made it part of the mainland so that it's not even an island anymore. | ||
They cleared it of vegetation and barbed wire rimmed all the way around it, and they've got all kinds of troopers in there, and so they've denied that territory to the immigrants, to the aliens. | ||
And it just keeps expanding down river like this. | ||
They have drones. They have Texas, I'm sorry, Florida troopers here. | ||
I've been meeting a lot of Florida troopers on the ground. | ||
They've got a lot of marine assets now on the river and they're harassing them in the middle of the river. | ||
If the smugglers are bringing in A group over the river, those boats will come right in and block them, physically block them, and then arrest the smugglers in the water, which is You know, in two and a half years, I haven't seen anything like that. | ||
In fact, I've criticized DPS for not being more aggressive with these smugglers that are like within a, you know, I mean, they can tackle them easily on the Texas side, but now they, in some cases, they seem to be arresting them. | ||
So it's kind of like a, and then further in the interior, you have Operation Lone Star where they're, you know, chasing down You know, smuggling loads that got through, that are getting through around it. | ||
So there's a lot of car chases and crazy cops and robbers stuff going on further inland and all the borderland towns all along the southern border looking for drugs and that sort of thing. | ||
It's not foolproof. | ||
The immigrants here know that if they can just get to the green uniforms, Biden's people, they're in. | ||
And sometimes Texas does let them in. | ||
I have seen some cases where the troopers let them in. | ||
And when I asked about that, it was that, you know, we felt like there was a medical emergency among some of the people there, and we don't want to have blood on our hands. | ||
For one thing, the politics of that would be just terrible for Texas. | ||
All the things that we're doing. | ||
So in some cases I have watched them, let them in too. | ||
But elsewhere you have this. | ||
All those people are going to end up back in Mexico. | ||
This is stunning. | ||
And I want the audience to appreciate the fact that you're... | ||
Political power has brought this up. | ||
Operation Hold the Line right at the border along the river with all the elements that Todd just talked about. | ||
And then Operation Lone Star, kind of like an ice type thing. | ||
A little inland. Todd, is it your professional opinion? | ||
That the efforts and the elements that the Texas DPS, and by the way, I want to give a shout out to Florida and other states that are sending assets to support Texas on the front line. | ||
Is it your professional opinion that this is having an impact? | ||
That if you do put the resources down there, you can thwart this invasion of the country, sir? | ||
I have watched it happen. | ||
I have videotaped it. | ||
It's happening. It does repel. | ||
It does cause people to go back. | ||
It does stop mass migration if the geography is favorable to the defenders. | ||
But it's undermined by the broader federal policy of everybody who can get past these Texas guys gets in. | ||
And so they just keep trying and they're trying and they're battering. | ||
They're enticed to keep battering against this and naturally they're going to get in. | ||
There's going to be a bunch of them that get in. | ||
And so they are. | ||
I mean, there are thousands that are still getting past this, and Texas is going to continue to—they just passed $10 billion for more border security, so they're flush. | ||
And I think that this fortification business is just going to keep expanding and expanding and getting thicker and thicker— And longer and longer. | ||
It'll be interesting to watch to see, you know, how much they can impact the mass migration. | ||
Look, I know you've got battery issues and the heat and everything like that, but I'd like you to stay. | ||
We've got Andy Biggs that's going to come on and address this, the congressman from Arizona, and I'd like you to hang around. | ||
One last question. I've got 60 seconds and we'll come back to you. | ||
Are the people down there on these border towns that have been overrun, are they supportive of what Texas DPS is doing? | ||
It depends. Abbott's got a lot of critics. | ||
Abbott's got a lot of critics in the posse, the war room posse, because what most people want him to do is round up the immigrants physically and throw them into Mexico instead of blocking them at the river. | ||
And so there's still criticism of Greg Abbott that he's not going far enough. | ||
But I will say that I don't see New Mexico, Arizona, or California doing any of this. | ||
So I think the benchmark to judge this really is what all the other border states aren't doing. | ||
Todd, just hang on. | ||
We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
We're going to get Andy Biggs up. | ||
Congressman, try to get Andy Biggs up. | ||
We've got Todd Benzman in Mexico. | ||
Mark Mitchell's here with some polling. | ||
Stick around. Intense. | ||
unidentified
|
Be back in a moment. Bring it on and I will fight to the end. | |
Just watch and see. It's all started. | ||
Everything's begun. | ||
And you are over. | ||
Cause we're taking down the CCP! Spread the word all through Hong Kong. | ||
We will fight till they're all gone. | ||
We rejoice when there's no more. | ||
Let's take down the CCP! Okay, Congressman Andy Biggs joins us. | ||
We've got a lot to get through and not a lot of time with Congressman Biggs. | ||
First off, Congressman Biggs, we've had Todd Benz. | ||
Todd Benz is on the Mexican side of the border. | ||
He's been reporting for the last couple of days of Texas DPS, Texas Rangers, under the direction of Abbott. | ||
He's setting up razor wire obstructions, fortifying the Texas border, clear-cutting 1,000 yards inland, thwarting the invasion of the southern border. | ||
He's on the Mexico side, and he's seeing the illegal aliens are coming around looking for Border Patrol, who are under orders from Mayorkas to let them in, and this is creating a chaotic fiasco down there to really go around law enforcement of the state of Texas. | ||
Arizona that's not happening because the radical governor, Katie Hobbs, is just saying, come in. | ||
What do you have to say? | ||
You've been at the forefront of impeaching Mayorkas and Biden about this very topic of the invasion of the southern border. | ||
What do you have to say about the fact that a state that now has folks, law enforcement from Florida coming in, from around the country coming in to support them, is trying to defend their border with their law enforcement and the backup of their citizens, and that Border Patrol, who are the best people in the world, are being ordered by Washington, D.C. to thwart their efforts, sir? | ||
Number one, you have an Article 4 Section 4 invasion going on. | ||
The federal government is obligated to prevent invasion, and they have vacated that field. | ||
They have left that alone. | ||
In fact, they've done the opposite. | ||
They've encouraged an invasion. | ||
That's one of the reasons Mallorca should be impeached. | ||
That's another reason that Joe Biden should be impeached. | ||
So that's number one. | ||
Number two, I will commend my friends in the CBP. They're trying to do the job the best they can. | ||
They're being hindered and hampered by their management. | ||
They're sworn to obey the Constitution, but they're being punished. | ||
And I know good people who are retiring early from CBP because of this management and this administration, their failure to protect the border. | ||
Number three, A state has an obligation to defend its borders and its people. | ||
And that's what Greg Abbott's trying to do. | ||
And the federal government is undermining it. | ||
And so, in my state, we have the exact opposite. | ||
We have Katie Hobbs, who's disbanded the Border Security Task Force, and she's basically taken down barriers that had been there that Governor Ducey had put in place. | ||
So, I look at this and I say, well, I wish our governor, I don't want to live in Texas, I love living in Arizona, but I wish our governor would actually step up and help the federal guys that want to enforce the border, to actually enforce the border. | ||
This administration I've never seen anything like it, perhaps in the history of humankind, where the leaders of a country, in this case, the oligarchy at the top of this country, Choose to willfully let it be invaded for what they think are going to be short-term political gains. | ||
And what's going to happen is those will turn into magnificent, long-term detrimental effects going forward to the United States of America and perhaps even provide the impetus for this country to fail. | ||
Congressman Biggs, what can the House do about this? | ||
You guys have had hearings. | ||
McCarthy approved the debt ceiling, took away the power there. | ||
What can the House do now, one, to have Abbott's back and DPS's back and stop the Border Patrol being forced to respond to Mayorkas and to enforce, to have Katie Hobbs actually defend her border? | ||
What could the House of Representatives do, do you believe? | ||
I would try to do a few things. | ||
I would leverage this upcoming NDAA bill. | ||
I'd leverage the upcoming appropriations bills to provide specific statements In their supporting state action at the border, and then also specific statements and reallocation of funds saying, if you're not going to protect those borders, we're going to reallocate funds and declare an emergency on behalf of these borders. | ||
The third thing I think we could do is we could impeach the leadership. | ||
If we did that, that would send a pretty powerful, strong message against open borders policies. | ||
But I will tell you, Steve, I am probably as cynical as I've been when I look at the Senate and what they're doing or will not do to secure the border. | ||
We've got to have the Senate. | ||
But our own leadership has got to say we are willing to hold up these bills Because the crisis on the border is effectively an existential crisis, and you have got to be willing to take some extraordinary measures and use whatever leverage we have. | ||
And the leverage we have is funding, oversight, and policy. | ||
And right now, I'm not seeing that from our leadership team, and that really is disturbing to me, and it ought to be disturbing to every concerned American. | ||
Okay, I want to go back to this because the Freedom Caucus put out this letter. | ||
We got it early, put it out on Saturday and talked about it, but it came out, I guess, yesterday signed with 21. | ||
I want to talk about the two processes. | ||
The one is the budget and the spending and appropriations. | ||
The other is the investigation and where they converge. | ||
Let's go to the spending first. | ||
I see you guys have thrown down the hammer or thrown down hard on this. | ||
Is this going to be realistic? | ||
Are you going to use this as a forcing function to make sure we don't get to a CR in September and have an omnibus right before Christmas? | ||
Well, I think the commitment from not just those 21, but there's – I mean, I didn't sign that letter. | ||
There are others that didn't sign the letter as well that are equally as strong and locked in on this. | ||
And my position would be – I don't think even if you get a couple of good policies that aren't going to make it through the Senate, you can't say that we're going to live with this number. | ||
I've been saying getting back to 2019 numbers, Steve. | ||
So if you're not gonna get back to the 2019 numbers, then you're just going off the cliff a little at a slower pace. | ||
But here's the bottom line, and this is what these 21 are trying to say, and I think there's a significant orbit around them that are also trying to say this, and that is, You have got to bring the spending under control, and at the same time, you have to use that as leverage to get good policy. | ||
The problem that we have is that you might get the promises of good policy, but when it gets to the Senate, the Senate's going to strip out all that good policy. | ||
And then they're going to send it back with a bloated budget, and that's going to lead to ultimately, and this is where I get cynical again, Steve, to the CR. I think we're willing to fight it and go forward in that way, but I'm very concerned that ultimately what's going to happen is you're going to get this, | ||
a couple of omnis, a couple of minibuses, you know, a few bills together spending, and then they're going to do a CR short-term on the rest, and then you're going to be Swamped in December again, like always, with a magnificently large, when I say, I don't mean that in a positive way. | ||
I mean, an incredibly large omnibus package going forward. | ||
And I do have really doubts. | ||
I mean, this NDAA bill, for instance, it's been designed to go with Republicans and Democrats. | ||
And to get Democrat votes, you have to leave the woke crap in there. | ||
And so, Steve, it is a real problem when we try to get leverage if our team doesn't use the leverage smartly and efficiently. | ||
Well, if McCarthy's going to govern with the NDA, which people should understand is what they call a must-pass, the National Defense Authorization Act, it has all these woke policies in there. | ||
Frank Gaffney and the team over his security policy has been all over it. | ||
It's replete with just this ideology that's destroying the military. | ||
If we can't, if McCarthy's going to govern with these Democrats and pass these bills out of the House with a bunch of Democrats and keep the woke stuff in there, why is he still around? | ||
Why are we not now to the throwdown? | ||
And I realize you don't want to use the motion to vacate unless you have to, but why is there not a more outright rebellion on the House floor among not just conservatives, but even anybody that takes money from a citizen that It gives them for the Republican Party and votes for them. | ||
Why is there not a complete throwdown? | ||
Because this NDAA, the defense thing, is atrocious. | ||
There's so much. All the woke ideology is still in there. | ||
Yeah, not only is all the woke ideology in there, you don't bring back the guys who got tossed out for vax, you know, violating their vax policy. | ||
You continue to do the pro-abortion policies. | ||
You got all that going on. | ||
And in the meantime, you're giving additional money to Ukraine. | ||
So, Steve, there should be a rebellion. | ||
But don't forget that I think that the letter, plus those of us who agree in principle, we are the voices against that right now. | ||
And you have the chairman of Hask, who wrote the bill effectively, with the Democrats. | ||
They're content. | ||
So you have a significant number of Republicans who are going to defend McCarthy and that posture. | ||
I will say that I've been told in any way that McCarthy's been very He's been very interested in knowing what the Conservatives say, but his position is, well, you know what, if the Conservatives get those positions, and you get rid of the woke garbage, you get rid of all these other things that we're talking about, and you put in some good policy, he said that he's of concern that he's going to lose some of the moderate Republicans and Democrats. | ||
That's why I say it's been designed and structured To not give us a good, solid, conservative Republican NDA bill, but to go over and try to make this a so-called bipartisan bill. | ||
That's the problem that we have, Steve. | ||
Well, the bipartisan side is weighted to all these leftist policies. | ||
Congressman, I know you're busy. Just take a short commercial break. | ||
I just want to hold you for a few minutes because I want to talk about the investigations. | ||
I know you're at the centerpiece of all that. | ||
We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
We've got Congressman Andy Biggs with us. | ||
We have Todd Benz who we're going to go back to on the Mexican side of the border in the Del Rio sector. | ||
We're here in the war room. | ||
We've got Mark Mitchell on some pretty explosive polling. | ||
We're going to get to all of it. | ||
Of course, at 6 o'clock, we're going to go to Armenia with Michael Yan in Rome on the Ukraine situation with Ben Harnwell. | ||
We've also got this This fascist move in Georgia to remove a citizen that was addressing an election board. | ||
We'll have her on to discuss that. | ||
Plus Naomi Wolf's blockbuster report coming out today that showed that Pfizer, in gun-decking the VAX information, actually had that early enough to present it before the election of 2020. | ||
All next in the War Room. | ||
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. | |
Okay, welcome back. | ||
We have Congressman Biggs. | ||
I know he's got a punch. All these investigations, and you're in the middle of a bunch of them. | ||
There's supposed to be a convergence of judiciary oversight and ways and means to focus on the Biden crime family. | ||
They just indicted one of the biggest whistleblowers out there. | ||
This thing's out of control. | ||
Can you give our audience some comfort that actually McCarthy and the leadership is very pointed on getting to the bottom of these and actually maybe initiating an impeachment inquiry into Merrick Garland, sir? | ||
Yeah, so I will credit McCarthy with this, that he has allowed judiciary oversight in ways and means to go forward with that Biden investigation. | ||
I think in years past, maybe we wouldn't have seen that. | ||
I wish we had more resources. | ||
I wish we had more personnel. | ||
Part of the reason that we have trouble getting personnel is because the left and the establishment in DC is trying to warn people that if you're working for any of those Committees on these investigations that you're going to have trouble working and getting work in the future in D.C. and in these areas. | ||
But we have incredibly brave staff personnel who are willing to make the sacrifices potentially professionally even to stay in there. | ||
And what we're finding, Steve, is the more we get after it, the more whistleblowers we have. | ||
I was at a I was at an event last week, and two people came up to me, both retired, recently FBI folks, and they both said, we've got to sit down and talk to you. | ||
You cannot believe what we saw in the FBI. So we're going to try to get together with them. | ||
I think they've got some whistleblower stuff. | ||
That's my point. The more we investigate, the more whistleblowers we get. | ||
And you mentioned this fellow who was just indicted. | ||
The timing of that, doesn't that seem suspicious to you, Steve? | ||
It does to me. And again, as always, they overcharge the guy like crazy. | ||
And it's meant to be a warning to anybody who provides us with information that we're gonna come after you. | ||
And I think that's a real threat to, they're trying to throw down the investigations. | ||
But so far, McCarthy's been in there very supportive of the investigations. | ||
What can we anticipate over the next week or two? | ||
Because August recess is three weeks away, so something's got to happen. | ||
You guys are gone basically from August to early September. | ||
What can we expect in the next couple weeks out of the investigations? | ||
Well, what we're doing in oversight, we have a series, and judiciary quite frankly, we have a series of transcribed interviews or depositions coming forward. | ||
We hope to have Devin Archer in. | ||
My understanding is we will have Devin Archer in. | ||
For people who don't know, that is Hunter Biden's former business partner who has been sentenced to prison time. | ||
I think it's important to get him in there, to hear what he has to say about operations of that. | ||
We have additional documents that we continue to get, including suspicious activity reports and additional bank records coming in. | ||
And every time we get those, it's amazing how much crazy misconduct on the part of the Biden family comes out. | ||
So that will continue to come out. | ||
There's got to be some additional hearings that we're going to do, is my understanding as well. | ||
And if we continue to do those hearings, the public will be made aware publicly. | ||
Now, the problem that they have is—and everybody is frustrated, including myself—people keep saying, well, who's going to jail? | ||
We don't have the police power, but what we do have is we've got appropriations power, and we have the power to make these things known and make them more transparent. | ||
And that's what we're doing. | ||
We're doing everything we can to show corruption that has existed and the disparate treatment. | ||
And the abuse of an authoritarian, autocratic type of government that basically wants to use its power, police power, for political purposes. | ||
And that has never really been seen wholesale in American life, and it's contrary to what we stand for as the United States of America. | ||
Congressman Biggs, how do people follow you on your website and social media? | ||
Where do they go? Go to Twitter, go to at RepAndyBiggsAZ. | ||
Instagram is at RepAndyBiggs. | ||
You can go to Truth at RepAndyBiggsAZ. | ||
You can go to my official site, Biggs.House.gov, where you can follow me, everything I write and publish, and all of my media hits and my positions on policy. | ||
We try to be very transparent. Congressman Biggs, thank you for taking time away. | ||
Appreciate it. Thanks, Steve. | ||
Take care. Thank you, brother. | ||
Let's go. We've still got Todd Benzman. | ||
I realize his equipment battery made. | ||
Todd, when you hear Congressman Biggs, you see the fight that they've got at the federal level in trying to stop Mayorkas from ordering this. | ||
But it looks like this conflict is going to continue between Texas DPS, Department of Public Safety, and the federal government. | ||
Todd Benzman. Right. | ||
That's because the policy that they chose is to let everyone in. | ||
I mean, if you have a policy like that, a federal policy like that, you're going to lure and entice everybody in. | ||
They're just going to keep coming and trying and trying and trying until they find the little niche or the little... | ||
This is a federal policy matter, ultimately. | ||
Texas is going to try to hold the line and do this and that and the other and slow it down. | ||
And in fact, you're probably going to see the numbers come out fairly low for the month of June. | ||
Beware of that, because a lot of that is that they transferred the numbers to bridges. | ||
Where Texas has no authority, they can't do anything, giving them these permits and then just letting them cross the bridge. | ||
99% of all applicants for CBP-1, that's the name of the program, get this thing. | ||
Texas can't do anything about that. | ||
We think there might be $80,000 a month, $100,000 a month being brought in that way. | ||
And to the extent that people are – fewer people are crossing between ports of entry like this, a lot of that may be due to what Greg Abbott is doing on the other side here from where I am, slowing things down. | ||
They did shut it down in Brownsville, Matamoros significantly, but you're never going to see the administration credit them for that. | ||
It is a headbutt, though, between what Texas' policy is doing and what the Mayorkas policy – They are working at cross purposes. | ||
Last thing, national security. | ||
We don't have time to go into all your reporting on terrorists, etc., but we've had multiple reports. | ||
Gordon Chang, Michael Yan, everybody. | ||
The breadth of people coming across is just not Mexico and Central America. | ||
It's the entire world. Gordon Chang said there's 10,000 already fighting age PLA members that have come across. | ||
What are you seeing as far as the breadth and scope of this invasion is not simply from Mexico and Central America anymore, is it? | ||
No, of course not. You know, the whole world knows about this. | ||
Everybody knows about this. | ||
Everybody in every country knows about this. | ||
And they're coming for it, including from the Middle East and from China, from Iran, from all of our adversaries that are coming into the country. | ||
And I just want to point out, I did do a segment on this for your show. | ||
You weren't in that day, but the Office of Inspector General came out with a blockbuster Investigative report about how Biden's DHS managed to cut loose a guy who was on the FBI terror watch list in this mass migration. | ||
Because of this mass migration, nobody was answering their emails, they weren't communicating, they were too busy processing everybody in and they cut loose a guy on the FBI terror watch list. | ||
And I've been warning about this for a long time that the mass migration crisis has eroded our national security and counterterrorism programs at the border. | ||
And this OIG report confirms and says exactly that. | ||
And there are at least two other cases that I know of that deserve to be investigated by the OIG, and I can only hope that they are being investigated by the OIG. I've written extensively about these other cases, and I sure hope that OIG does something with that, and members of Congress demand OIG investigate these cases. | ||
Todd, where do people go? | ||
Your book is overrun. | ||
It's a blueprint of what happened here and what it's going to mean. | ||
Also, your writings. Where do people get to all your content? | ||
You're down there every day putting your life on the line. | ||
So where do people go? I work for the Center for Immigration Studies, a great organization that pays all my bills down here, by the way. | ||
And could certainly use your support, CIS.org. | ||
You can find all my material there. | ||
Or ToddBenzman.com. | ||
I also have a repository there. | ||
And I'm on Getter and Twitter, BenzmanTodd at Twitter. | ||
Benzman, you're a patriot and a hero. | ||
Stay safe down there. | ||
It's a dangerous place. Thank you very much, sir. | ||
Okay, thank you. A hat tip to DPS. I mean, the footage there is amazing. | ||
The DPS is fighting, and the Border Patrol, who are the best people in the world, are forced to counteract what they're doing. | ||
You talk about loss of—one of the crisis in the country is the loss of faith in institutions. | ||
They're already saying, well, Bannon wants to tear everything down. | ||
He wants to bury everything in the ground. No. | ||
What we want to do is rejuvenate. | ||
This is what a fourth turning is about, is the rejuvenation. | ||
You have to have the rejuvenation of these corrupt institutions or institutions that have lost their way. | ||
Mark Mitchell's got some polling that's going to talk about that. | ||
Mark Mitchell, you joined us. | ||
You polled about the Kennedy assassination from back in 63. | ||
Tell us what it talks about as far as... | ||
Well, this is what it is. | ||
This is why I wanted you now. | ||
You see, people pay their money and believe that the Border Patrol is there to protect the border. | ||
And they find that the Border Patrol is working against the Texas Rangers who are forced to take their time away from law enforcement to try to protect the border. | ||
It's insanity. And it cuts to the heart of the loss of faith in our institutions. | ||
You polled this this past week. | ||
Tell us what you found about the Kennedy assassination and loss of faith in our institutions. | ||
That's what it is. That's exactly what it is. | ||
If there was a theme to our 2021 polling, it was probably COVID and election integrity. | ||
And coming into this year, it looks like it's going to be about trust in government institutions. | ||
And as a little recap of some of the stuff that we've talked about on your show, you know, 65 percent of voters think it's at least somewhat likely that undercover agents helped provoke the Capitol riot. | ||
Sixty-four percent of voters agree that the FBI has become politically weaponized. | ||
And a stunning 66 percent of voters don't even trust that this president will allow this government without there being fraud. | ||
Now, this JFK one, I guess that topic has become on the list of things that you're not allowed to touch as a mainstream pollster, because I was looking for that topic and didn't really see it. | ||
Now, 30 years ago, my father told me that he thought that the CIA incontrovertibly killed John Fitzgerald Kennedy. | ||
And we never really out and out asked about that. | ||
And what we get back is that 42 percent of U.S. likely voters 21 percent of voters say it's very likely, and only 18 percent Less than two in ten Americans can confidently look you in the eyes and say that the CIA was not involved in killing a sitting U.S. president. | ||
I mean, we got these numbers back. | ||
And of course, in the mainstream media, there's a reason that 60 percent of people think the media is the enemy of the people. | ||
This is considered a fringe conspiracy theory. | ||
But a plurality of Americans think it's likely that a federal agency killed a president. | ||
I don't even know what to call that, a violent coup. | ||
This is absolutely stunning, this polling. | ||
We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
I'm going to go through it one more time. | ||
Because this is about, when you talk about a fourth turning, you talk about a crisis. | ||
The crisis always gets back to an institutional crisis. | ||
And remember, this audience, you've been lamb blasted and derided for being conspiracy theorists. | ||
You're not conspiracy theorists. | ||
You're hard-headed, patriotic, common sense. | ||
Look at it with a clear and steely eye, Americans. | ||
Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen, join us on the other side. | ||

It's James Risen's book, The Last Honest Man, I think it is, about a church and the church committee came out. | ||
I love it. | ||
If you want to get it, read it. | ||
It's amazing. | ||
In there, it talks about Frank Church setting up the committee that really investigated all this, but Gary Hart being a young senator, and Gary Hart being the guy they made the contact to the CIA, and he had dinner with all the high CIA, Colby, Helms, all these guys that ran it. | ||
And they all recommended he sit down with James Jesus, or Jesus Angleton, the renowned and famous or infamous head of counterterrorism. | ||
He's having dinner, and at the end of it, he asked Angleton, he says, sir, the CIA didn't have any involvement with the Kennedy assassination, did it? | ||
Now, this is the head guy, the famous mole hunter, the inside baseball guy of the CIA. | ||
He looks at Hart and says, he says, you're a theology student in college. | ||
He goes, yes sir, I was. His answer to his question, in my father's house there are many mansions. | ||
That's Angleton's response to the CIA have any involvement in the killing of John F. Kennedy. | ||
And that is printed in the book by James Risen. | ||
And it should send a chill down your spine as it's sent to Gary Hart, who kind of never recovered from it. | ||
Give me your polling one more time, Mitchell. | ||
You've got a lot more to go through. I'll have you back on tomorrow because I want to take time. | ||
But I want just to go back to the polling of likely voters in this country about the involvement of the Central Intelligence Agency in the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. | ||
42 percent of U.S. likely voters think it's at least somewhat likely. | ||
21 percent say it's very likely. | ||
And only 41 percent say it's not likely. | ||
And only 18 percent of those, less than two in 10 Americans, Say it's not at all likely. | ||
This is a fringe conspiracy theory. | ||
And I'll tell you, there's a great little message in here about independent media. | ||
So just one of the demographics that, to me, just stood out incredibly is that the 18- to 39-year-olds, it's not the people who are alive seeing Kennedy getting assassinated on TV. It's not them that think it's the CIA. It's the younger voters. | ||
53 percent of them said it's at least somewhat likely. | ||
53% of 18 to 39-year-olds, only 31% of those over 65. | ||
They're more likely to consume alternative media. | ||
So the message is going to get out, even though the presidential administration appears to be wanting to cover up these records. | ||
But combined, that 42, it's 63% think it's somewhat or very likely that 63 to 41, it's 63% roughly. | ||
That's a stunning number, isn't it? | ||
There is no trust in the government. | ||
And, again, these numbers aren't absolutely higher than all the other ones. | ||
But we have almost two-thirds of voters who think our current president was profiting, as the vice president, from foreign government pay-for-play schemes. | ||
So that's where we're at right now. | ||
And quite frankly, it's one of the reasons why Trump is still at the top of the heap. | ||
And I had one night back from three nights in numbers. | ||
And if the trend holds up, it looks like, again, Donald Trump is going to be topping out of all the national politicians on his favorability rating and almost approaching double digits higher than Joe Biden's job approval rating right now. | ||
So that's coming later this week. | ||
And that's where we're at. | ||
Signal, not noise, here on The War Room, brought to you by Rasmussen and Mark Mitchell. | ||
Incredible. Mark, how do people get to YouTube channel, rumble, all of it, to get more in-depth? | ||
You do this really incredible show where you break it all down, go through the crosstabs. | ||
We're the teaser. We're the appetizer. | ||
You give the full meal. | ||
Where do people go? Rasmussen underscore poll at Twitter and also at YouTube, and I'll definitely be dropping a video in a few hours going into, we asked a couple questions about this JFK stuff, and love to hear suggestions about other questions people want us to ask to really sort of push the envelope of public opinion. | ||
Mark, incredible. | ||
Incredible. This is why ABC's trying to kick him out. | ||
It's not because coming on here, they don't like the way that he asks real pertinent questions to the American people. | ||
Thank you, sir. Incredible. My pleasure. | ||
It makes sense, though. This is about the institutional crisis. | ||
In the fourth turning, you have an institutional crisis. | ||
That's what it's about. The institutions that have been built before do not respond to the times. | ||
That's why I wanted to start on the Mexican side of the border, and Todd Benzman has been reporting on here for years to show you, think about the absurdity. | ||
Your tax money, the citizens of Texas are defending their border, and the federal government is playing games and cutting holes in it and bringing the illegal aliens across. | ||
That's why you have no trust in your institutions. | ||
Crom Carmichael, we need people on the ramparts, the lion-hearted on ramparts. | ||
We need them with healthy hearts. | ||
How did they get it with Salty Brother? | ||
Gee, thanks so much for having me on. | ||
As I was listening to that polling, amazing, amazing information. | ||
But I've got a bottle of soul tea right here, and two capsules of soul tea a day will help you maintain a healthy heart And a healthy cardiovascular system. | ||
And the reason, Steve, that that's so important is that heart disease is the number one killer every year. | ||
And that can be heart attacks, it can be strokes, but even more importantly, as you get older, if you don't take care of your cardiovascular system, your health just kind of runs down, your energy drops down, and you just don't enjoy life very much. | ||
And so I would strongly encourage the posse to go to warroomhealth.com, that's warroomhealth.com, and use the code WARROOM at checkout. | ||
I've been taking Solty, our product, I've been taking the active ingredient for 19 years. | ||
And when I first started taking it 19 years ago, my bad cholesterol was 130. | ||
It went down to 89. | ||
It's been under 90 ever since. | ||
I take zero prescription drugs and I'm 74 years old. | ||
So I encourage the posse, once again, to go to warroomhealth.com. | ||
That's warroomhealth.com and use the code WARROOM at checkout. | ||
And they'll get 50% off their initial shipment. | ||
And then on an ongoing basis, they get three bottles for the price of two. | ||
That's a 90-day supply every 90 days. | ||
Two capsules a day. | ||
Improve your cardiovascular system. | ||
Help you maintain a healthy heart. | ||
And help you control your cholesterol. | ||
Three great benefits in one product. | ||
Thank you, brother. Thank you, Crump Carmichael. | ||
Appreciate it. Thank you, brother. | ||
