steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
unidentified
Because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
I got a free shot on 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.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
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.
unidentified
War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
The death toll information also coming in overnight.
So many people here on the island of Maui will be waking up to the news that 36 of their community members, loved ones, friends have died.
That fire in Lahaina is one of three fires currently burning on the island here.
Firefighting efforts continue as well as search and rescue efforts.
The view from above is of shock and heartbreak.
Oh my God!
steve bannon
We were not prepared for what we saw.
unidentified
It looked like an area that had been bombed at the war.
Wildfires rampaging across the island of Maui.
Our entire street was burned to the ground.
Decimating homes and businesses.
Local people have lost everything.
They've lost their house, they've lost their animals, and it's devastating.
Lahaina is on fire!
The historic town of Lahaina, a popular tourist and economic hub on the island's west side, particularly affected with hundreds of structures impacted.
It happened so fast.
People stuck in traffic trying to get out and there's flame on both sides of the road like something out of a horror movie.
Most of the fires on Maui fueled in part by violent winds caused by Hurricane Dora churning more than 800 miles away.
Those winds now subsiding as the storm pushes away.
The primary focus is to save lives and to prevent human suffering and mitigate great property loss.
State Department crews assisting in efforts to restore communication across the islands and distribute water.
With military helicopters aiding in extinguishing the fires.
Two CH-47s supporting Maui County.
They flew 13 hours, did 58 drops, and about 150,000 gallons of water to assist with suppression of the fire.
Recovery will be a long road ahead, according to Hawaii's Lieutenant Governor Sylvia Luke.
The damage to the infrastructure, it's not just Buildings, I mean, these were small businesses that invested in Maui.
These were local residents.
And we need to figure out a way to help a lot of people in the next several years.
So we're going to be doing a video on how to help people in the next several years.
steve bannon
As far as you there!
unidentified
Go!
You need to go, bro.
Yeah, go, go, go!
Come on.
Come on, baby.
Come on, baby.
What the f***?
What is this?
steve bannon
Yeah.
Let's go!
unidentified
Damn, it's hot.
Yes, go dad, we're good.
Motherfucker.
Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick.
steve bannon
Yeah, we're good.
unidentified
Oh my God, dude.
It's okay, it's okay.
Let's go.
steve bannon
We're almost to the end of the mill.
We're almost to the smokestack.
unidentified
Oh my god.
It's like Lahaina is on fire.
Oh my god.
in a row. Oh my God. It's like Lahaina is on fire. Oh my God. Terrified. Oh my God.
I hope there's no animals in there.
Oh, and look at that!
All right, I better go back to the bank area.
Oh my God, look at this!
Unbelievable!
Power lines down, look at that!
It's like it's... Oh my God!
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Thursday.
steve bannon
Thursday, 10 August, Yerville, 2023.
Apocalyptic.
Um. Inferno.
In Maui and Hawaii.
You know, Sherry and Nolan Chang do such a good job of being kind of the anchors for the war in posse in the Hawaiian Islands.
But we want to make sure all the posse members in Maui, just to make sure you're okay, if you can just go into the live chat, any live chat during the day.
We've got Grace Chong, Captain Bannon, Monitoring, we would love to hear from you.
You know, all the headlines were climate change.
I think it's both NBC News and The Guardian linked to 85% of these wildfires are started by humans.
Now, it has, obviously, the tinderbox underneath is all this dry I think it was grass in Hawaii, but in other places, underbrush, etc.
But most of these are started by humans.
Either human error with a cigarette or a campfire, or humans actually doing it on purpose.
So they're just starting the investigation in Maui.
And of course, the hurricane that was, you know, obviously, I think hundreds of miles away, the wind really took this to an inferno, but absolutely incredible.
I want to have Chris Hoare on because this is obviously Getting to be a bigger and bigger thing out in the American West.
Chris, yesterday, you know, cell phones went down, generators went down, you had the little, the village that had been there, the little town that had been there for hundreds of years, all burned to the ground.
What, I think it's 40 people, 36 to 40 people already dead.
There's going to be a lot more, but the infrastructure completely melted down.
I want to walk through, I want the audience to be able to get access to the generators, the satellite phones, everything.
So if this hits any of our audience members, that guys are prepared for this.
Because yesterday, this thing came out of nowhere.
And the devastation to the tropical paradise is, quite frankly, apocalyptic.
Chris, where do people go to find out everything you guys have and all the services you can provide people?
unidentified
Well, Steve, it's sat123.com, that's sat123.com, or they call us at 941-955-1020.
We have, the fact is, Steve, this is what we talk about, being prepared for a disaster.
And this is exactly what we're talking about.
There is no cell phone service on Maui right now.
9-1-1 is gone.
The only form of communication that's working is the satellite phone, the satellite communications.
And we want to do our best to make sure anyone who doesn't have a phone gets one immediately.
We're also hearing reports of wildfires out of control in Ramona, California, where my business partner couldn't even make it home last night.
She was turned away.
The roads were blocked because of wildfires raging in Ramona.
chris hoar
So, look, we have a free satellite phone today for the Warren Posse with a 15-month agreement, just $99 a month.
unidentified
The phone comes with A solar panel, it comes with a power bank and a Faraday bag.
It's a $1,500 value, Steve, just for $99 a month.
chris hoar
We also put together a package very quickly this morning called the Off the Grid Power Bundle, which includes a free satellite phone, an EcoFlow River 2 portable power station, and a 20-watt solar panel plus a Faraday bag.
unidentified
This gives you power and communication.
But Steve, you know, if you're on Maui, it's obviously too late right now, but do not be caught out because these fires are spreading, Steve.
steve bannon
If our folks in Maui do reach out in live chat, we will figure out somehow to try to get the stuff to you.
So please reach out today.
Grace Chung and Captain Bader will be monitoring all the different live chats throughout the day to make sure that we monitor.
So we want to make sure people are okay, but if you need these Products and services, we will do what we can, working with Chris to make sure you guys get them.
Chris, one more time, where do people go?
Because I don't want, this is one of the reasons we've had you on for the last couple of years.
This thing in Maui, obviously, and people have been there, it's an absolute paradise.
And out of nowhere, boom, it happens.
Not just your life changes, your community's life changes for many decades to come.
Where do they go one more time, Chris?
unidentified
They go to SAT123.com.
That's sat123.com or they can call us, Steve, at 941-955-1020 and get your free phone with activation because these phones are going faster.
Phones have been ringing constantly for the last 24 hours, as you can imagine.
steve bannon
Okay.
For the War Impostor, you always get special, so go there.
Chris Hoare, thank you for getting up early this morning and doing this for us.
unidentified
Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
We're trying to get Ed Dowd on here.
Ed lives in Maui.
We're going to try to get Ed on here later.
And I want to thank Sherry and Nolan Chang, once again, who are the two of the all-time, ultimate Hall of Fame War Room posse members who keep us up to date on everything that's going on.
So once again, folks in Maui, reach out.
Let us know you're okay and what you guys need.
We're going to start the show.
We've got so much to go through, we're going to break it down here in component pieces.
Let's go to Kiev, and we've got Ben Burquam and Oskar Blue Ramirez continue their journey.
They're going towards where the fighting is to the front in eastern Ukraine, but they're in the capital right now.
Ben, Oskar, get us up to speed on what's going on.
ben bergquam
Well, Steve, yeah, we arrived last night to Lviv.
First off, the reason we do the things that we do is to tell the truthful story, to tell the real story, and you really can't do that until you get on the ground.
One of the shocking things to me, first off, was how beautiful the city was, but the other thing was we entered the city last night at about midnight.
People were walking the streets just like they're doing here in Kyiv.
Kiev.
By the way, I did find out, to those of you that were like, why did they change the name Kiev to Kiev?
Supposedly it's the Russian pronunciation.
I always called it Kiev.
But you can see all the people just milling around.
We've got some of the Russian tanks there.
But as soon as we entered Lviv last night, one of the air raid sirens went off.
It's the Russian missile air raid sirens.
And I've never heard one before.
I've never been in a war zone where that happened before.
And, you know, we're driving down the street and we're thinking, okay, How concerned should we be?
And basically, what you see behind us was the reaction from the people.
It was just business as usual.
So, although the country's at war, it is not a war zone.
Kiev is not a war zone.
I mean, they will lob... Basically, what's happening now is Russia's lobbing missiles away, you know, from the border, across by... with their drones and with some of their fighter jets.
But for the most part, business is back to normal here in Kiev, however you want to pronounce it.
But there is still a front, and obviously as you mentioned, we're gonna be going to check that out with the Free Burma Rangers later this week, who are just some amazing warriors and patriots.
steve bannon
I think we're going to get to Tara Dal on the southern border.
I think Tara Dal is in Burma with the Free Burma Rangers.
Hang on one second.
Before I go to Oscar, just tell us, you're in a famous square, you're in front of a famous cathedral, a famous church, and also those Russian tanks are kind of war trophies there to show the people that they're making progress and they're capturing these major Russian armaments.
Tell me where you are.
ben bergquam
Yeah, we're right out in front of St.
Michael's Cathedral.
You can see it in the background behind me.
Just an amazing, you know, historic church building.
Actually, right on the side of that building, you have all of the pictures of the men, mostly men, 99% men who have died since 2014 to now.
who have died since 2014 to now.
And again, but we're in the square.
I'll just turn the entire camera.
You can see there's another famous cathedral down at the other end.
And it just, you know, it's a very European feeling city for those of you that haven't been here before.
It's a beautiful place.
steve bannon
Um, by the way, people remember St.
Michael's when Jack Posobiec, when Poso's there, he's taken a lot of his, uh, done a lot of his stand-ups and have done a lot of footage from there.
Um, Oscar, uh, I tell you what, we're gonna wait.
We're gonna go through break.
Oscar, Oscar, uh, Ramirez actually did an interview With the mayor and he's gonna be able to give us the details when we get back Okay, we've got Ben Burquam and Oscar Blue Ramirez are in a Kiev.
They're going to the they're going to the war zone I think later today or tomorrow.
They've got a couple more big interviews on real America's voice.
They're gonna be putting up We are going to go from Kiev.
We're gonna go from the Ukraine to the southern border Tara doll is there Todd Benzman's got an amazing piece up in on the New York Post that goes back to talking to Lieutenant Olivares from Texas DPS about exactly what Governor Abbott and Texas DPS is doing to protect the state of Texas by putting certain barriers and resistance along the Rio Grande.
Okay, short commercial break.
We're going to be back and go to Ukraine.
unidentified
just a moment here's your host Stephen K Vance okay um we're gonna have Darren Beattie
steve bannon
and Ben Harnaw I think Ben's gonna be at six we're trying to get Darren in for the morning show Intercept has picked up a State Department cable that shows that the lovers of democracy, the lovers of democracy, that would be the Biden regime.
You know, remember, you're getting your nose rubbed in democracy every day, that they're the guardians of democracy.
And you reactionaries, to breathe through your mouth, are not.
Well, there are cables that show that State Department officials met and actually moved forward on a coup to take Imran Khan out back in 22, starting at 22, Biden's State Department, because he would not back the movement of the globalists in Ukraine.
Darren Beatty, The Intercept is broken and Darren Beatty is going to be here.
We're going to have Cornwall tonight.
This is quite a big story.
We're going to get all over it.
Oscar Blue Ramirez, did you just interview, correct me if I'm wrong, did you just interview the mayor or the deputy mayor?
oscar blue ramirez
I just interviewed the mayor of the city of Kiev, Vitaly Klitschko, former WBC world heavyweight champion.
He's quite a celebrity around the world.
We had an interview, we sat down and we talked about different issues about the current situation between the Belarus conflict and between Russia and the city of Kiev, which he explained that they have had a lot of casualties over here.
In Kiev, in the initiation of the year, more than 200 young men have died and he consistently was saying, thank you, thank you, and thank you, and thank you.
You know, the appreciation factor, he was consistently being appreciated to all the support that he has received.
He didn't get into particular, you know, detailed issues, political issues.
He didn't want to open up that much on that particular platform, but he continuously said that he was thankful for the support and that this was a fight against tyranny of they want to stop Russia from becoming again the Soviet Union and that all we need to unite to fight against you know the communist Soviet Union again.
steve bannon
Oscar how did you get the big get in in Burquam's kind of one around there on holiday?
ben bergquam
He's a boxer!
He's a boxer!
Oscar's a boxer!
Okay, okay.
steve bannon
It's kindred souls.
unidentified
That's it.
ben bergquam
Kindred souls.
I said you can have it, Oscar.
oscar blue ramirez
It's a good one.
Sir, in addition to that, we had some statement from some, you know, governmental official inside of the... We can't say who.
ben bergquam
We don't want to get him in trouble.
oscar blue ramirez
We don't want to get in trouble, but they said that their perception of Joe Biden is that he is a weak leader, that the United States needs a strong leader.
They feel that if Donald Trump comes into office, a lot of changes are going to come, but they can come into an agreement that it can bring peace into between the two countries.
That is the most important thing that they want.
But ultimately, they see Biden as a leader that doesn't have the force that it needs for this kind of conflict that they are addressing right now, sir.
steve bannon
Ben, later with BD and with Harnwell, we're going to get into the whole thing about, you know, Biden's putting up another package of a couple of billion dollars.
At the same time, there's a bunch of reports out this morning, including in the Washington Post, that it's quite evident now that the spring offensive has not really gotten traction And this is from Democratic lawmakers over there, like you guys are.
They're getting briefed by the military, and it's quite evident that the Spring Offensive is kind of Essentially ground to a halt, and one of the reasons field commanders feel they're losing too many young men, and they don't really know how to do the combined arms, it's too complicated for them.
What's your sense, Ben Burquam and Oscar, when you guys are there, is it more wariness, or is the population still saying, hey, we want to gut this out and fight it out to the end?
I mean, what's your sense of where the people are?
Not the officials you're speaking to, but as you go around and talk to folks.
ben bergquam
Well, they definitely hate Russia.
I mean, they want to defeat Russia here, but the one thing, and this is the concern that I have, and I know people on the ground have this, we've kind of spoken off the record with some, that yes, they're getting support from America and from NATO and from some places now.
But they understand Biden.
They understand.
They saw what he did in Afghanistan.
They saw how he basically, once he couldn't use these people as pawns anymore, he just left them to die.
He even left our own Marines to die.
And so I think that's the big concern.
It's, okay, we're getting this support now, but what happens next?
And ultimately, that's what it comes down to.
Look at why they're doing this.
This is all a play against Russia.
This is all a play about weakening Putin and weakening Russia to push what's ironic, as you mentioned, as he said, they want to fight against communism.
It's the very communist, socialist, globalist, leftist, godless leftists that are pushing for this simply to weaken Putin to strengthen themselves.
So all of this is a lie.
It's all a lie, and they're simply using the citizens of Yes, absolutely.
as the pawns just like they use the citizens and every country in America and every country as pawns whatever game they're playing.
unidentified
Yes absolutely and this could have been avoided.
oscar blue ramirez
Well this could have been avoided if Donald Trump was in the seat.
ben bergquam
That's the bottom line.
oscar blue ramirez
That's the bottom line.
You know, a lot of people have died, you know, and the response that Donald Trump gave in an interview with CNN is, I don't want people to die, not even from Russia and from Ukraine.
So that is the solution that needs to be brought into this bellicose conflict, not, you know, giving more and more and more.
It's just to stop this and to bring peace between these two countries, sir.
steve bannon
Ben Berquam, where are you guys going to go?
Give us a quick update of where you're heading, and then I want everybody to know on social media how they follow you and Oscar.
ben bergquam
Well, we can't say exactly where we're going to go.
We're going to be here.
We're going to be in Kiev, Kiev through tomorrow, through the morning of tomorrow.
We've got some meetings we're working on over here, and then we're going to be heading down, heading out east.
Again, we can't say exactly where, but to where the fighting is happening to, again, bring you the truth about what's happening.
And you can follow that.
We're posting on social media at Ben Burquam and on my website FrontlineAmerica.com, AmericasVoice.news.
But we can't say thank you enough.
Again, we have to keep saying it.
These guys are awesome.
PatriotMobile.com, they're the ones helping sponsor this trip.
If you use promo code RAV right now, you get free activation.
And the key here is we all have to come together.
Businesses, patriots, citizens, media, we all have to come together to fight this evil.
Oscar?
oscar blue ramirez
You can follow me on all social media, sir.
It's Oscar Blue Ramirez and America's Voice News.
And, you know, at that particular, that's around it.
All social media and America's Voice News, sir.
steve bannon
Okay, I want you guys to be safe because you're in a dangerous place and you're going into a much more dangerous place, so be safe.
Be on the lookout.
A place that may actually be more dangerous than the, almost as dangerous or maybe even a little more dangerous than the southern border with the cartels.
Professor Mershheimer said it, that the West is going to fight until the last Ukrainian, and that's what you're seeing.
We're going to have a lot more coverage, a lot more analysis of this later in the show and then this evening, because Biden right now is coming back with another supplemental package on Ukraine of billions of dollars.
They refuse to have any accountability, no accounting, and this is going to be a huge fight.
We keep talking about This government shutdown, Biden shutting down his government, I think he'll end up shutting it down because we're going to cut the money from the persecution of Donald Trump and other American citizens.
So a big fight coming.
Part of this is going to be Ukraine.
Let's go.
I tell you what, let me get in Tara Dahl, who's on the southern border down there with Project Burning Edge.
Tara, tee up.
We're going to play a couple of clips here.
Give us a quick tee up.
What are we about to see?
unidentified
Yeah, Steve, you're about to see some video footage of the Hondurans last night that we saw.
We saw about 250, a group of them, yesterday.
All day, we saw between 200 to 900, more than one sector alone of migrants coming in illegally in between the ports of entry.
steve bannon
Okay, let's go ahead and play it.
Let's go ahead and let, if Denver can go ahead and let her up.
unidentified
Here in the Rio Grande Valley, illegal immigrants that are coming across the river will have some type of wristband on them.
And that's the way they're able to get across the river, by having that wristband.
Because it does indicate that they've paid a fee to the cartel.
Now if you go further west, it's a different type of method.
There we don't see too many wristbands.
Eagle Pass, I mean, we're seeing an influx of people that are crossing between the ports of entry, but they're not wearing wristbands.
So it's all based on the cartels in charge and how they, the type of method they use for smuggling.
Of course, they also charge different fees.
So there's a fee to get across a river, There's also fees if you're going to get smuggled in a car, you're going to get smuggled in a truck, a train as you move further into the interior.
So there's different fees associated with smuggling.
So that's why it's a very lucrative business.
We have thousands that are coming across.
Those are just dollar signs for the cartel and they are making more money now than ever before.
It's a multi-billion dollar trade involving human smuggling.
As long as we continue seeing people come between the ports of entry, we're going to continue seeing human smuggling.
And it's also going to empower these cartels where they can make billions of dollars and become even more powerful than ever before.
My wife came home from H-E-B and the dogs were playing with something in the yard that looked like a ball.
And she said, dogs don't have a ball that looks like that.
She walked over there and it was a skull.
Even skulls still have brain matter in them.
This was about 100 yards from my back door.
This is her body.
She's got a broken She's got a broken right ankle.
She didn't walk out there with a broken ankle.
Somebody beat her up.
steve bannon
Broke her ankle.
unidentified
Probably took her a week to die.
That's what the dogs were playing with.
In my front yard.
steve bannon
Think about it for a second.
You as taxpayers are paying for that.
Tara Dahl, hang right there.
We're going to go to break.
We got Tara Dahl.
Also, Todd Benzman has written an amazing piece for the New York Post that talks about what Lieutenant Olivares told us yesterday about the efforts of Texas DPS to secure the state of Texas's border.
Which happens to be the same as the United States of America down in the Rio Grande Valley.
We're going to get back to all that.
In our tribute to American music, Robbie Robertson just passed away.
We're going to have a tribute to Robbie Robertson throughout the day today.
unidentified
We're going to have a tribute to Robbie Robertson throughout the day today.
Where had you gone?
Your name you heard, just made me sing Nobody knows what became of Ophelia Where had you gone?
Was it something that somebody said?
I'm not a you know what we broke the rules Was somebody a fake you for the laws?
steve bannon
Honey you know that I've got a boy in me He got no number, they're scared and running Here's your host, Stephen K. Bowne Oh Okay, Tara Dahl, amazing reporting, and people should understand, this invasion of your country
is being exacerbated and driven and I think conceived by the Biden regime.
And you see this in the situation with Honduras and the children, right?
We're going to get to Benzema in a second.
That has a pretty explosive analysis up on the New York Post right now.
Tara, tell us, where are you now and where are you heading?
unidentified
Yeah, so we're in McAllen, Texas now.
And last night we went over the Ochoa Plantation in Texas.
And we saw a group of 250, mostly Hondurans coming in.
And it was absolutely surreal.
We're walking through the brush and all of a sudden you have these just masses coming right out of the woods.
It's like it is an absolute invasion.
I cannot tell you that enough and what is going on right now.
What President Obama has said is the radical transformation of America.
That's what's happening right now.
And there is very interesting because under the Biden administration, his policy with allowing these families a reunification of the Honduran families, that's what you're seeing.
You're seeing one adult with one child.
One adult, one child.
And you're seeing a long line of unaccompanied children.
That's because the Biden administration is incentivizing people to come over with children.
And there's no DNA testing anymore, so you can't identify if these children are actually with their parents.
So what we saw last night was shocking.
I just can't explain it.
We saw probably between 700 to 900 different groups.
Between the different groups that we saw yesterday, the majority are Hondurans.
steve bannon
That is one small segment of the border down the rear of Grand Valley.
That is happening up and down Sounds good.
the 2,000 miles of the border we have from the Gulf of Mexico all the way to Imperial Beach, California, San Diego.
Boom.
It's happening everywhere, every night, all across.
Tara, great reporting, amazing footage.
We'll catch you tomorrow.
unidentified
Sounds good.
Thank you, Steve.
Thanks.
steve bannon
Bye.
Thanks.
Project Burning Edge, Michael Yan, and a whole team that are down there every day.
They're going to be doing a different report.
Todd Bensman.
Todd, you've got this article.
We had Lt.
Olivares up yesterday from Texas DPS that talks about, hey, the Abbott administration in Texas, Texans and DPS, they've had enough of this.
And as you reported it broke, the federal government is fighting them and trying to shut it down.
But he said, Hey, if we didn't have these barriers up there, if we didn't have this, uh, this, uh, the, the wire up there and the fencing up there, this would just be an outright overall invasion that couldn't be stopped.
And it's so dangerous.
We're not going to allow it.
Walk me through your piece in the New York post.
todd bensman
Well, one thing that is happening that is new.
Uh, is that you are seeing a multi-pronged campaign from the liberal progressive left and the White House against Texas.
Uh, this involves a propaganda campaign.
It involves a legal campaign.
Uh, and it involves, and when I say propaganda, I mean, uh, untruthful, uh, assertions about like, for example, the, the water barriers killing people.
Uh, and, uh, that, that, that the Texas department of public safety is submerging, uh, razor wire wrapped, uh, barrels under the water so that they can cut up immigrants.
That's what I mean by propaganda.
Uh, and, um, and legal challenges, uh, and environmental claims.
And when you see my point, my piece just points out is that when you see this level of energy.
Uh, in this many directions leveled at one particular tactic, uh, or a number of tactics, that means that those tactics are effective.
That is underlying evidence that the tactics work and must be defeated.
And, uh, we're seeing that right now, um, aimed at the Texas, uh, fortifications and especially that floating water barrier.
Uh, they've only got a thousand feet.
of that water barrier up, but the plan is to extend it for miles up and down the river and move it wherever they need to move it, and put new stuff all the way along the riverbanks where there are hot spots.
And just to give you another good example, other than the bodies, is now the administration, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, has just announced on July 24th that we have to declare the Mexican Fawn's Foot muscle, an endangered species, and they just announced this on the 24th.
Where is that Mexican Farnsworth muscle?
It's at Eagle Pass, Texas, where the water barrier is, and in three counties downstream that are the most heavily trafficked, where the Abbott administration wants to put this water barrier.
And of course, if they succeed with the regulation, then they could make a legal claim that you've got to remove the water barrier, even though there's no evidence whatsoever that the water barrier is messing with the clam town down there.
So, that's the level of the degree to which the opponents of that water wall believe it's actually going to work.
So, that's just pretty much what my...
steve bannon
Yeah, but you got the water wall, you have the barrier, you have the razor wire, you have it all.
I mean, it's a complete package.
That's what DPS is on point.
And Olivares was telling us that every day, you know, their brethren in the Border Patrol are being forced to kind of fight with them.
They're acting as a concierge service and the federal government is actually going out of their way to interfere with Texas DPS work.
And that's because you can tell it's working.
What Texas is doing is starting to work.
Todd Bensman.
todd bensman
Yeah, I reported that on your show a few times while I was down there.
I was showing you guys behind me, Border Patrol is out there.
If these immigrants can get past the Texans to the Border Patrol, they will be released into the country within 48 hours and on a plane and bus to all four corners of the country.
Right now, the hottest spot, and I don't mean temperature wise, although it is temperature wise for illegal immigration, is in
Arizona in Tucson sector and what we're hearing now is that those thousands of family units that are crossing through the Sonoran Desert into Arizona are crossing there because the Texas hold the line at the razor wire is pushing them along a path of least resistance into Arizona.
So you're starting to see people avoid Uh, try even bothering with the Texas crossing.
They're still doing it, obviously, uh, finding places where the Texans aren't yet.
The Texans will eventually set up where she was just showing us, but out in Arizona, that's Katie Hobbs territory.
And she's pulling back, uh, you know, their state troops.
They're pulling back their national guard.
There is zero, uh, defense in Arizona.
So naturally they're all going to Arizona.
Turning themselves in because the Biden administration is letting them all in.
steve bannon
Your story in the New York Times, above it was Lady Gaga's father, who is a restaurateur in the Upper West Side.
This is Seinfeld country.
They've taken over a hotel there, and he's saying, hey, the whole neighborhood, and they've done it in the middle of the night.
He said, it's a migrant crisis, illegal alien crisis right there in the Upper West Side of New York City.
At the same time, Adams is going to go to the Biden administration for a $12 billion to $20 billion bailout.
And Republicans have to understand now, not one penny to go to bailout in New York City.
They've declared themselves a sanctuary city.
He's going to have to deal with it.
They're looking for a 12 to 20 billion dollar bailout.
In addition, a bunch of left-wing groups, as you know, have just filed yesterday to give, wait for it, work permits to the illegal aliens that came under here under these phony amnesty relief by the Biden regime.
Todd Bensman.
todd bensman
Well, they're idiots and those policies are idiotic.
Boston just declared an emergency over the migrant crisis.
These are democratic cities that when the migrants show up, they give them everything they need for as long as they want it.
So down on the border, when I talk to immigrants and I ask them where you're going and they say Boston, New York, I ask them why, the answer is always because they're giving us all the stuff.
Uh, you know, we're going to have a nice soft landing in these cities.
Um, the, the bailout issue is outrageous because, uh, Adams and these democratic mayors, what they ought to be saying is shut the spigot off at the border.
Stop the policies at the border first.
We'll stop our, our giveaway policies, putting them up in fancy hotels, uh, and giving them three square and putting them.
Uh, you know, on shopping trips and all of this sort of thing.
Uh, and, and you shut, shut the spigot down and then it's over.
It's like end overnight.
But as it is, New York is getting about 15,000 fresh immigrants a month.
And they're trying to pawn them off on the surrounding counties.
The surrounding counties don't want them.
So they're suing the city of New York.
The city of New York is suing them back.
Nobody wants these illegal immigrants.
Welcome to reality, folks.
Welcome to reality.
Exactly.
steve bannon
I hope citizen...
I'm glad to see it too.
I hope citizens up there in New York are getting a belly full of this, right?
Because it's just going to continue and continue and continue.
This is what you have.
Last thing, Todd, on the footage that Tara has shown us for the last couple nights, it's a massive influx of Hondurans and everybody's got a kid on their hip and there's no DNA testing.
Didn't this get to the heart of the child trafficking fiasco we have right now in this country and at the border?
todd bensman
Yeah.
The decision by the Biden administration to end familial rapid DNA testing on May 31st, in a memo that was two sentences long with no explanation, is the most egregious and terrible thing that I've ever seen an American president do.
And that's saying a lot.
This is absolutely terrible what happened.
Those rapid DNA testing processes that they had down there,
Ended human child trafficking because they didn't they knew that they were going to get busted right there on the riverbank That's all it took When they ended that when you see one parent or one adult rather one child that is evidence of trafficking That means that they are pawning off their kids to strangers or strangers are just taking the kids Kidnapping them we've seen cases of that and there's no DNA testing to stop it.
That is egregious and Republicans in the House ought to have a hearing on that alone.
On that alone.
And never stop.
steve bannon
They should go to the border and move the House of Representatives.
It doesn't have to be in the nation's capital.
There's nothing holy writ that says they ought to move the entire thing and force the Democrats to go down to McAllen, Texas.
And when they come back on September 12th, go there and stay there till this thing's solved.
Those are kids coming across every night that are being trafficked.
If there's no DNA testing, and there's one on each hip, they use that as an asset.
One, it's to get across, and two, God knows what's happening to those children on the other side, Todd Bensman.
todd bensman
It's true.
My last trip down there, I had my drone up over the river, and there was a woman with a teenager and a young one, must have been about seven years old, and they dropped into a deep pool, and the woman couldn't swim.
And the first thing she did was she took the little kid and she pushed herself up and that little kid down into the water.
And he managed to escape and then she pushed the other kid down to keep herself up.
And I would venture to say that that was not a real mom right there.
And those weren't her kids.
steve bannon
No mom would ever do that.
Todd, where do people get you?
What's your social media?
Where do they get your writings in this New York Post article?
todd bensman
Right, toddbensman.com.
I've got all of my different writings compiled there in one place.
New York Post, my piece is up there.
I have another piece that's about to run in the Daily Mail about this Mexican barnsfoot scam to save the mussels.
Coming up in the next day or two, David.
steve bannon
Todd Benzman, great.
Look forward to having you back on in this scam of Fish and Wildlife to shut down the barriers.
They're not going to take out the barriers.
The barriers are going to stay.
Short commercial break.
Dr. Miriam Grossman joins us next.
unidentified
We rejoice when there's no more, let's take down the CCP!
They have all lied for too long.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon
Okay, um...
There's a method, always a method to our madness here at the War Room.
And what's happening and what we're allowing and quite frankly, the Biden regime is going out of their way to exacerbate this trafficking of children.
And I think Carrie Lake says his best.
It's not trafficking for sex.
It's trafficking for rape and torture is going on on your tax.
I want to make sure every time we show that it's your money that's underwriting that.
And I want you to get mad about it.
Because quite frankly, people in Congress are not mad.
Yeah, you have hearings, you have all this, but it's happening every night.
All across the border.
When Tara Dahl and those people say it, it's just one small snapshot of what's going on constantly.
And the people on the other side, the cartels, are very sophisticated, very smart.
What he just said, when they have, when McAllen in the Rio Grande Valley get too tough, or Laredo gets too tough, or Big Bend, or El Paso, or Eagle Pass get too tough, it shifts to the Tucson.
It shifts to Yuma.
It shifts to California.
And we've got to stop it.
We have a moral obligation to stop it.
At the same time, We have a scourge in this country that's almost incomprehensible to understand, and we've got Dr. Marion Grossman, and she's written a book that's so powerful about this that's being suppressed by Barnes & Noble and other booksellers because they don't want the word out.
Dr. Grossman, before I got a couple questions, we're going to ask you to do this, stay through this, and at the top of the next block also.
Can you give your bona fides in working with children and what you've done, you've dedicated your life to?
Can you just tell us, give us a short curriculum vitae?
unidentified
Oh, sure.
Well, I'm a board certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist.
I've been working with kids and families for almost 40 years now.
I do have a lot of experience and for the past few years I've been working exclusively with kids who are distressed about being boys or girls and with their parents.
steve bannon
And a psychiatrist, you're essentially a medical doctor, you're not, this is not a psychologist, this is something you have to go to medical school to get your degree to professionally practice?
unidentified
Yes, yes, of course, I went to medical school, yes.
steve bannon
And you're not naturally, throughout your professional career, because you're quite revered, you've not been somebody that runs around with your hair on fire, that this is an emergency, correct?
unidentified
No, not at all.
Almost all my career has just been quietly helping families, helping kids, working in offices, in treatment centers, and just helping people and doing my work.
That's right.
steve bannon
Then how did you become the tip of the spear in one of the most controversial aspects of American life today?
Because you're so controversial that I'm sure a bookstore you've been in a million times, right, Barnes & Noble, is now going out of its way to suppress your book.
How did that happen?
unidentified
I discovered what we were teaching kids and I was alarmed and I was outraged and I discovered that kids are being told it's possible to be born in the wrong body.
And that sometimes mistakes are made by the adults and that only a child, only each individual person knows truly if they are male or female, that being male or female is fluid, that there's many different ways, you know, that male and female is on a spectrum and all the rest of it, this whole entire what I call a belief system.
Because it is not based on science or medicine.
It is more like a religion, like a belief system.
And I discovered that kids are being told this.
And then I began seeing the kids in my office and their families.
And it was one disaster after the next.
These kids truly are led to believe that their bodies are wrong.
and they develop what's called gender dysphoria, which means that they are unhappy and have distress over their physical bodies, and they believe that the only solution, there's only one solution, is to so-called transition and live as the opposite sex.
This is not based on science.
Like I said, it is more like a religion.
It is based on falsehoods, and these kids are being misled and being put on a assembly line that ends in medical interventions that are dangerous, that are experimental, that are permanent, and that are just disastrous.
That's how I got into this.
steve bannon
Thank you.
Quickly, we got a minute.
We're gonna go to break and we'll hold you over.
But when you say it's a religion, correct me if I'm wrong, is not all the official medical association dealing with children have now come out and said this is in fact science and Miriam Grossman's wrong?
unidentified
Yes, certainly they have and they have been captured by the ideologues, by the radicals.
But you know, Steve, what I really want to say, and I know we have limited time, is that school is about to start, right? It's August.
School is starting and I want to speak directly to parents and I want to warn them that your child...
steve bannon
Hang on. Yeah, I'm going to hold that for the next break and we're going to take you through the break.
At the top of the hour, I want to go through the whole thing because this is an urgent issue that must be addressed now by parents.
Dr. Grossman has put her entire professional career on the line here to go up against the medical establishment, a medical establishment she's been part of, a prominent member of, a revered member of, for 40 years.
She's here to give a warning to the parents of children in the United States about to start About to start school.
Dr. Marion Grossman, Brandon Showater, next in the War Room.
Gonna leave you with a tribute to Robbie Robertson, who has passed away at the age of 80.
unidentified
When I saw old Carmen and the devil walking side by side.
I said, hey Carmen, come on, let's go downtown.
She said, I gotta go, but my friend can stick around.
Take a load for free.
Take a load off Fannie.
And put the load right on me.
Go down Moses, there's nothing that you can say.
It's just old Luke and Luke waiting on a journey day.
Hey Luke, my friend, what about a young Annalie?
You said to do me a favor, son.
I want to stay and keep you and our little company.
Yeah!
