steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
Because we're going medieval on these people.
I got a free shot 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'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 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!

War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
Start with your first chart.
Decades of ideological sorting may have brought us here.
Yes, Willie.
I think one theory about why Republicans are sticking so closely to Trump is a kind of idea of tribalism.
And the Wall Street Journal had an interesting analysis of this the other day.
And so let's take a look at what's been happening among party members in the various parties over the last several decades, because this is actually a long-run phenomenon.
But if you go back to the late 1970s, you can see that only about 30% of Republicans identified themselves as conservative.
And almost 20% of Democrats identified themselves as conservative.
And then if you fast forward over those decades, you can see what's happened.
And we all, I think, probably intuitively thought this is where we are now.
Maybe we didn't think about where we were then.
But you can see that now about 60% of Republicans call themselves conservative.
And only about 5% of Democrats call themselves conservatives.
When you talk, sorry, everything I just said is about liberals, I apologize.
When you talk about conservatives, you see a similar trend.
You can see that back in the 1970s, less than 50% of Republicans considered themselves conservative.
Today, over 70% do.
And the same thing, the reverse has happened with Democrats.
Almost 30% considered themselves conservative back then.
And today, that number is down to just 10%.
And so you can see that basically on an ideological basis, Americans have kind of gone into their corners.
joe scarborough
Yeah, you know, another really surprising development.
And we can't put this just down to Trump.
It's something that I noticed even in my races back in the 1990s.
Republicans were supposed to win well-to-do, suburban sort of country club types, and Democrats were supposed to win working class voters.
I noticed in our cross tabs and looking at the districts after we won that I did extremely well among, in the blue collar, in the blue collar areas.
And what we're seeing now is a continuation of that sorting pretty dramatically now where Republicans are still making gains among working class voters, but they're losing.
An awful lot of suburban voters, and the breakdown seems to come, Steve, more than race, more than income, more than anything, on education.
As far as what's the last year of their educational status, are they high school grads, are they college grads, are they post grads?
Boy, there's a real sorting there, isn't there?
unidentified
Yeah, Joe.
We talked about ideological sorting.
Let's talk about educational sorting.
And we all talk a lot about how non-college-educated whites have moved toward Trump.
There's a lot of truth to that, but there's actually a longer-run phenomenon here.
Let's start with whites with college degrees.
And you can see, as you would have imagined back in 1990, 55% of whites with college degrees identified themselves as Republicans.
And only about 40% of Democrats identified themselves with college degrees as Democrats.
And so then you can see the percentage of people with college, whites with college degrees who identified as Democrats goes up, and the percentage of Republicans with college degrees goes down.
And so we've had this slip.
And you can see here, it did happen a little bit faster during the Trump period, when whites with college degrees moved more to Democrats.
And that really shows up in support for Donald Trump in almost every poll we look at.
at whites without college degrees, the so-called working class whites that we talk a lot about, they were actually surprisingly evenly divided between the two parties until about six or seven or eight years ago.
And then you started to have this shift that we've all talked so much about, where whites without college degrees moved into the Republican Party and out of the Democratic Party.
And that really shows up in support for Donald Trump at almost every poll we look at.
joe scarborough
And Steve, as we move to your third chart.
steve bannon
Let me have it.
Maybe I want to hold that.
Maybe we'll come back to the charts.
By the way, Ratner, you know, a senior partner over at Lazard, Frere, kind of takes over from Felix Roitin.
Dude, you gotta learn how to present.
unidentified
You're confused.
You're calling the wrong numbers, the wrong groups.
steve bannon
What a clown.
That guy wanted to be Secretary of Treasury.
Couldn't even handle some basic crosstabs.
It's Wednesday, 6 September, Year of the Lord 2023.
This is all driven by polling numbers, particularly a Wall Street Journal poll that came out.
Over the weekend and then a morning console poll that's out today that shows full spectrum dominance by a guy named Donald Trump.
Not just the Republican Party, he's even to a head of Biden.
They're in full meltdown.
We'll have a lot of clips throughout that.
Because they're trying to, remember, it's all tribalism, and what they try to say, this is their narrative, you're in the dumb tribe, you're in the non-college educated, breathe through your mouth, you know, work with your hands, that's your tribe.
So tribalism.
Welcome to the campfire here as the war party, the war tribe gets kicked off.
They're going to continue to hammer that.
That smart people, this is not about race or ethnicity or religion, but smart people with college degrees and advanced degrees all support the managerial control party, the administrative state party, the deep state party.
That's the Democrats.
That's why if you cut on MSNBC, It's all Big Pharma ads.
I mean, if Big Pharma, if Kennedy's proposal to not let Big Pharma advertise MSNBC's test pattern, couldn't even put the network on.
And of course, they're also the experts.
They got all the experts up nonstop.
In fact, I think we got Naomi on this afternoon.
We're going to play Dr.
Eric Weinstein's, his rant on that podcast about the managerial class and the expert class.
One thing they can't run away from, we'll get into it later, Fox & Friends having a meltdown on impeachment, meltdown on what McCarthy's doing, but he's been put on the clock.
by this audience by the cadre in the feedback we're getting the reason been put on the clock is that you've gone to town halls you've gone to meetings with your house representatives particularly people in red districts that had house members that still support mccarthy or support mccarthy on the debt ceiling and now the lies have been uh... have been totally exposed let me start with richard stern over the heritage at the uh... at the budget a policy group over there the director also knows a thing or two about ukraine
In this Ukraine mess, Tony Blinken kind of shows up unannounced in Kiev to have a couple of days actually sleep overnight.
I think he's the first senior official to actually spend the night because they want to get their story straight.
Before the firestorm of the House coming back, they also, I think, Zelensky's going to the UN.
The General Assembly meeting started, I think, September next week, and they'll be going for a couple of weeks.
I think Zelensky's going to go over there, and Blinken wants to make sure they're on the same page.
Remember, Biden is a $40 billion supplemental.
Not only are we $2 trillion deficit, which we told you was going to happen, Stern told you was going to happen, Brad told you was going to happen, they lied to you, we got that.
They've got the chutzpah to put up a $40 billion supplemental and to tie the Maui relief program to it because they're trying to shift, I don't know, $24, $25 billion back over to Ukraine.
Richard Stern, Where are we?
Now the lies have been exposed.
We all know that this is two trillion dollars.
It's going to be in perpetuity.
They're all running around.
McCarthy's saying we need a CR.
We're going to need omnibus because the longer term, if you want to have longer term input, we'll do that next winter.
We'll do that in January, February when we get through this.
Your thoughts on all this, sir?
richard stern
Well, first, thanks for having me back on.
Always good to be on your show talking about these things.
So, you know, I would say this.
Congressional leaders are finally returning our phone calls because they understand there's a lot of people like you and all of your watchers that are seeing these lies, that they understand they've now been exposed.
And so, you know, for once, they're actually returning our phone calls on this kind of stuff.
So that's at least an encouraging sign.
But, you know, on a serious matter, you're absolutely right.
They're trying to shove $40 billion down the throats of Americans.
And again, it needs to be repeated.
None of those $48 billion are their dollars.
They're all your dollars.
You worked hard for them.
You earned them.
And now Blinken and Biden and the whole cadre of the D.C.
cartel is coming together to say, hmm, how can I steal that $40 billion from hardworking Americans and give it to our friends?
And, you know, keep in mind, even the money that is, quote, going to Ukraine, most of it isn't.
It's money that's going to American companies that build the materiel that we send to Ukraine and What's even better is about half that money goes straight to them.
The other half goes on a credit card that we give Solinsky and he can only spend that credit card at U.S.
defense contractors and only particular U.S.
defense contractors and only on particular products.
And I gotta be honest with you, an enormous amount of them are, you know, green energy using weapons systems.
I have no idea what that means, but I think we all know they found yet another way to funnel your money into their green energy friends.
And it's cloaked within being part of the Ukraine war.
So that's where we are.
They're running like mad to try to get their hands on members of Congress coming back from recess so they can jam this thing through next week or the week after and do it with as few eyes on it as possible.
But what do you expect from the D.C.
unidentified
cartel?
steve bannon
Okay, but you broke some news here.
I want you to go back.
You actually proposed.
We had Russ Vogt put up a proposal.
You put up a proposal.
I mean, this is your full-time job to think through how you actually, as an adult, get your hands around this mess so we don't turn our children and grandchildren into debt slaves.
Or actually, we turn American citizens today, under the age of like 45, into debt slaves in perpetuity.
You had a balanced budget.
When you say guys are calling you, they're panicked.
And the reason they're panicked, I want you to go through this whole appropriations fiasco.
Tell our audience, by the way, the uneducated, you know, the tribe that's uneducated has no degrees, which is quite frankly, put the fear of God into Washington, D.C.
audience, so just keep pounding.
Explain to them how much real cuts Well, if I'm willing to take them at face value, we'll suspend disbelief at the moment.
going through the appropriation process, because remember, we're gonna get trillions of dollars of cuts, it was all gonna be fine.
Don't listen to Stern, don't listen to Bratt, don't listen to VAR, don't listen to Bannon.
These are all a bunch of hacks.
Don't know what they're talking about.
How much real, what's the dollar amount of real cuts that you actually can identify they're talking about, sir?
richard stern
Well, if I'm willing to take them at face value, we'll suspend disbelief at the moment.
They are only claiming to have found $12 billion in cuts.
Now, the bath that my team has done, and I've done, is that frankly, they've got all these side pots of money.
And so they're probably looking at increasing spending by $50 billion through the appropriations process.
But if we give them credit for what they say they're doing, they're only claiming $12 billion in cuts for a budget that is $1.6 trillion of discretionary spending.
Let alone that the federal budget itself spends more like $5 trillion a year.
They've only identified $12 billion in cuts.
It's an insult.
Inflation is being driven by spending.
Interest rates are being driven by spending.
You know, mortgage rates are back at record highs over the last 40 years.
We're back at having added close to $350,000 to the interest costs on a lifetime mortgage.
And it's because while you're trying to get a mortgage to buy your first home, the government is at the buffet.
Eating everybody else's lunch in the money markets.
That's why interest rates are where they are.
That's why inflation is where they are.
So offering a measly $12 billion cut is going to do nothing to change that.
It's going to do nothing to allow the economy to grow and people to earn and do the things they're good at.
And yet, even with only claiming a $12 billion cut, as we're pointing out here, they're then asking for $40 billion for the supplemental.
So even by their own math, they're asking for an increase in spending an increase in inflation driving, interest rate driving, deficit spending.
This is just insulting to the American people. But I got to tell you, as you're talking about that tribe of Americans that, you know, frankly, it's not that they don't have college degrees.
It's actually that they work and they earn more money, right? I've looked at more of the data than these CNN people have done. It's not that the quote highly educated vote Democrat. It's highly educated with rock bottom incomes.
Vote Democrat.
These are people that stole your money to get grad degrees in underwater basket weaving, who can't get a good-paying job, and instead vote for people like Biden to steal money from the hard-working Americans that actually work in factories, that work good blue-collar jobs, and work the jobs that actually produce goods and services for people.
That's what's happening here.
And this is the next way they're going to steal it from you.
steve bannon
Richard, hang on for a second.
We want to hold you through the break.
I know you've got to bounce, but I want to hold you through the break.
Dave Bratts with me.
We're going to go through this, break it all down.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
We're going to be back in the War Room in just a moment.
unidentified
Everything's just beginning for the games you want to play.
Bring it on and have a fight to the end, just watch and see.
It's all started, everything's begun, and you are over.
Because 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!
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon
Okay, um... Remember, they're gonna throw a lot of shiny toys.
We'll play some Fox & Friends somewhere.
They're gonna throw a... In a minute.
We're gonna play some... They're gonna put a lot of shiny toys in front of you, tribe.
To try to take your eye off the ball.
But you have lit people up over this break, and that's why there's kind of a sea change here.
Why people are talking about potential motion to vacate if McCarthy doesn't bring the heat, not just on impeachment, but he's not going to get a CR here.
He's only going to get a CR by having to go rub up on Hakeem Jeffries and get another 50, 60, 70 Democratic votes, which will be the end of Kevin McCarthy.
Richard Stern, is the $2 trillion deficit or is the impact of really, you've got your regular taxes, now you have the tax of inflation and higher interest rates that are killing the American working class and middle class, sir?
richard stern
You know, it's the tip of the spear of the Ukraine funding.
So I think what's happened with Americans and congressional leaders have been seeing this and hearing these calls from the grassroots, as you pointed out during this August break, Is that people finally looking at us and saying, what is going on?
You're stealing our money to dump it in a war that has no end, where there's no plan, where it's going to your donors to buy weapons systems.
And then back behind that tip of the spear, everything you just talked about, the inflation tax, the interest rate tax, Americans' real wages falling, jobs being less and less useful to people to allow them to feed their family and buy a home.
And then the massive deficit we've seen.
What that's done, the capital sucked out of the markets.
You talked, and it's very important, about making sure that our kids and grandkids are not debt slaves.
We're debt slaves.
The debt is no longer a future burden.
It is a burden on growth now.
It's a burden on prices now.
And so the weight of all of that combined, of the sheer size of the fiscal mess that these woke DC cartel people dropped in our laps, Has finally come home to roost.
And so they're calling their members of Congress, they're calling congressional leaders.
And then the other part, the cherry on top is to hold hostage disaster funding in Hawaii, a disaster created by woke green environmental policies, tying it to the place where all the celebrities are actually going, as you brought up, which is Kiev.
So, you know, it's all of that together that has finally gotten congressional leaders to sweat a little bit.
And to go, oh wait a second, this ruse we've had, this grand theft we've been doing, it's finally starting to get seen by the American public.
steve bannon
Richard, where do people go?
You did a balanced budget.
You've also putting up stuff on social media.
Where do people go to follow you?
Particularly as the firestorm starts to set up in DC.
Because remember, the spiritual battle manifests itself in a nasty fight over money and power.
And it's the money.
It's the ability to have the Federal Reserve to continue to crank out and to support this madness that gives them power.
And that's what they're panicked right now.
They're about to lose because they never thought a working class and middle class audience would actually call them out So where do people go, Richard Stern?
richard stern
Well, you can always go to heritage.org.
You can see everything we've got.
If you go look up the Heritage Blueprint, you'll see that balanced budget that you're talking about.
And of course, you can always follow me at Rich A. Stern on Twitter.
You can see all of the fun stuff I put up there, and things that I write and my team writes, and I put it up there for everyone to look at as well.
And as always, thank you, by the way, for highlighting these things and making sure that all of us have a campfire to culminate with.
steve bannon
Thanks, Richard.
Great fight.
It's only just begun, so we're gonna lock arms here.
Thank you, brother.
Remember, the partner at Lazard Frere, you're the dumb tribe.
You're the uneducated tribe.
And Stern calls it out.
They're just a tribe of a bunch of advanced degrees that don't make any money, so they gotta get bailed out on their student loans.
They need to be propped up by government spending.
None of them have real jobs.
Before I get into the practical politics, Dave Brat, because you've been there, of the motion to vacate and the power politics we're about to see.
You're seeing power politics in Georgia.
You're seeing power politics right now in the trial of Ken Paxson.
We'll have an update on that later.
In Texas, you're seeing power politics with the law for against Donald Trump, although his poll numbers are exploding.
Let's talk about the spiritual part of this, because at the end of the day, this is a defining moment for who we are as a republic.
Right?
Thank you, Senator.
You're the insurrectionist.
You're the domestic terrorist.
Right now, this is about priorities.
And this is about not just will to power.
This is about what we actually stand for.
And are we going to be the adult party?
Are we going to sit there and say, no, we cannot continue to do this.
And we're not going to listen to your lies.
We're not going to listen to your spin.
We're not going to listen to your lobbyists.
We're not going to listen to your media consultants.
We're going to dig in and we're going to dig in hard.
Dave Brett.
unidentified
Yeah.
steve bannon
Yeah, thanks Steve.
Brad, getting up for his big moment.
Boom!
Hits the wrong button.
Okay, so here's where we stand right now.
By the way, we may go to the border here in a second or get Brad back up.
You just let me know.
The House is getting ready to come back to DC.
There's already a firestorm.
Matt Gaetz said yesterday that if things don't change, and this is about the impeachment part of it, but I can tell you it's also on the budget.
If things don't change, we're going to have a throwdown and a motion to vacate.
One of the lies I want to make sure everybody understands, not just lying on the budget, they've also lied consistently about the invasion on the southern border.
Do I have Todd Bensman?
Let's go to Todd Bensman on the border.
Todd, you're down the rear of Grand Valley.
Biden and these guys keep saying, hey, all this thing that Bannon and Bensman and all these guys are worried about, it never happened.
The border's all fine.
Yet, I just heard we had record numbers of illegal aliens coming across.
You're down the rear of Grand Valley.
Give me an update.
todd bensman
I was up till 2 in the morning with hundreds and hundreds of Americans, Hondurans, Guatemalans, Oh, and El Salvadorans mostly.
That's my video right there.
I mean, they're just pouring in in torrents because the Biden administration put together this new policy called Family Reunification Parole for Hondurans for just these nationalities.
And so that policy sparked this absolute flood of Central Americans.
Those numbers, those high numbers that you're talking about, are driven in large part by Central Americans.
We have not seen that in a long time.
They are well prepared.
They are bringing one parent, one child, one parent, one child.
A border patrol agent last night, it's on my Twitter, you can see it, I've got them recorded, told me that the reason they do that is the government gives them cost of living checks.
For one family per month, $2,200.
So if the father brings one of the kids, and the mother brings another kid, and they just act like two families, they're pulling in $4,400 a month, according to that Border Patrol agent on that.
The whole thing is very, very scammy.
Lots of unaccompanied minors coming through.
I saw guys that looked like they were 25 years old saying, oh, I'm 17, I'm 17.
I'm 17. I'm 17.
I'm 17.
A woman, I'll say a woman, out of an unaccompanied minor woman, because they busted her for lying about her age.
She's 18, and they set her aside.
These Border Patrol agents tell me that this lying is going on all day, all night, every day with this Central American.
steve bannon
Look, this is what, you know, and what McCarthy's going to hold out is, oh, we're going to add a border bill.
We don't need any more laws, OK?
The border bill they pass, it's fine, but that's all messaging.
It's never going to happen to it.
So McCarthy said, we're going to attach, you know, give me a CR and I'll attach that to it.
It's all crap.
Look right there.
Play that.
I want to play that footage again.
You can take my smiling visage off.
I just want to see Bensman and the footage.
Look at that right there.
They're laughing at you, ladies and gentlemen.
I want you to fully embrace this.
I want you to fully embrace.
These are all illegal aliens.
There's no way in our current asylum law should they be coming into the United States of America.
This is a scam.
And don't bury the lead.
We'll try to get the part up on Twitter.
But the Border Patrol agent told you the reason you're just seeing one parent and one child is that they get $2,200 a month in cash Right?
And so if they come in, the family, if it's got a couple of kids, the husband and wife gets $4,400 cash money from taxpayers.
This is the reason we have a $2 trillion, one of the reasons we have a $2 trillion deficit that we have to finance on the backs of the American kids?
Is that what I'm hearing, Todd Benzman?
todd bensman
That's what I was told last night.
You can go to my Twitter account, BenzmanTodd.
I've got that agent on camera talking about the $2,200 scam.
I'm going to have to independently confirm that.
I haven't heard of that, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised.
The other thing that these agents were telling me is, hey, Congress, stop coming and announcing delegations.
Every time they come down here in a delegation that's announced beforehand, they clean everything up.
They bring everybody, they pull everybody off the border.
They make it quiet so that you can hear Crickets and birds chirping, but he's saying, bring yourself down here unannounced and you're going to see the real S-I-H-I-T down here.
Stop coming down here pre-announced.
They're cleaning it up.
steve bannon
A hundred percent.
Todd, just hang here for one second.
I want to hold you.
I got Tiffany Justice, Todd Bensman.
We're exposing the lies, and this is what your House members should be down at the border, unannounced, and shut this frickin' thing down.
Johnny Cash.
Promised Land.
Take us out.
We'll be back in the warm in just a moment.
johnny cash
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.
O'er all those wide extended plains shines one eternal day.
There God the sun forever rains and scatters night away.
I am bound for the promised land.
I'm bound for the promised land.
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.
When shall I reach that happy place and be forever blessed?
When shall I see my Father's face and in His bosom rest?
unidentified
The people, the Republicans in those districts that Joe Biden won, they've got to be able to say, I voted for it because look at this.
todd bensman
It shows that there was corruption.
unidentified
Actual corruption.
Not just bank records, but things that show that laws were broken.
So far, Comer and company have not been able to put that together.
But it's so overwhelming.
Anybody with just a discerning mind and is not blatantly biased knows that Joe Biden's vice president was orchestrating everything.
Joe Biden's already lied.
He's already been caught lying.
He lies every day.
And he's been lying for years, but never before as egregious as this.
And not one person has even asked him.
Did you meet with Tony Bobulinski?
Did you talk about business deals?
Nobody asked him this and he won't sit down and talk to anybody.
And you say no business dealings?
What about this?
What about this phone call?
tiffany justice
What about the, what was it, 15, 17 phone calls?
What about playing golf with them?
What about firing the prosecutor?
unidentified
Why don't the Republicans call those Biden family members?
steve bannon
They should.
Okay.
Fox and Friends all worked up about, you know, what should, because they're going to throw some shiny toys out there and get away from the central issue.
But I want to go back to Todd Bensman.
Todd, correct me if I'm wrong, brother, where the mainstream media has been saying all this hype about what was going to happen on the border, it all went away, there's nobody coming across, there's no optics down there, there's no photo ops.
Tell me about the August numbers, sir.
todd bensman
Well, there was a pause after Title 42 went away in May.
We all knew there would just be a brief pause.
Everybody's waiting to figure out how to scam the new system.
Well, they have figured that out.
So the numbers are sky high for August.
They're leaking out.
It looks like it's going to be 180 plus thousand that crossed illegally between the ports of entry.
Remember, they were trying to channel them through the ports of entry so they could not count them.
But the immigrants are not Cooperating.
They don't want to wait in line in Mexico when they can get the same benefit of entry, quick entry, by just crossing illegally.
And that's what's happening.
By the way, those numbers are coming in August.
It is dog days down here, man.
It is hot.
So the numbers are usually really low around this time of year.
But they're really high right now, and that tells you what's coming as the weather cools down a little bit.
This thing is just getting going.
You just wait till next month.
steve bannon
I want everybody to embrace these photos.
New York City announced the first day of school was yesterday.
20,000 illegal aliens in the New York City public schools, unvaccinated.
This is what's happening.
I want to put that footage back up.
Comer is looking for subpoenas.
about the Hunter Biden situation.
They've completely stonewalled him on the border situation.
Unless we take, unless the House takes direct action on defunding these guys, is anything going to change?
Is this invasion of our country?
Look at that right there.
That's every night.
Todd Benz says that's every night this is happening.
This is an invasion of your country.
180,000 of the ones they actually made contact with.
And remember, even the Title 42 thing was a scam.
What they had is the app.
They got the cartel app.
The cartel app that allows to maximize getting, you know, getting everyone across here.
What Todd Benson just said at Border Patrol, you got the one, you got the wife bringing over a baby to get $2,200.
You got a father bringing over the other kid to get another $2,200.
unidentified
It's $4,400.
steve bannon
Are you getting $4,400 from the government every month?
No, that would be incorrect.
That's the kind of money you're paying out.
Okay?
You're not getting that kind of money.
They're giving that free and...
What they just say, Todd, the Border Patrol guy told you that there's more human trafficking coming through, more unaccompanied children.
That's just kids trafficked into this country.
They're upping your growth.
I want to make sure you understand something, audience.
Look at those photos.
They're laughing at you.
The cartels are laughing at you.
The Mexican officials that are on the take are laughing at you.
The Biden regime is laughing at you.
Mallorcas, that little punk, they're all laughing at you.
Because that's the destruction of your country right there.
That's the manifestation of it.
And where are, and like Todd Benzman said, the Border Patrol pleaded, no more congressional delegations that give us two weeks notice to come down there because they just cleaned it up.
The House of Representatives should move down to McAllen, Texas and convene there and should not pass anything until the invasion of our country has stopped.
Todd Benzman.
todd bensman
Well, last night I just gave out an exhaustion at 2 a.m.
This thing was going on and on and on all night long, and into the morning they tell me that this just goes on.
Thousands a day are coming in this way, and it's mainly because they are letting the man, we are letting the work spread all over the place, and this is what it looks like.
steve bannon
This is what's happening.
todd bensman
I was the only media person there.
I finally just gave up and went home.
I said, I'll see you guys tomorrow night.
I will be down here for another few days documenting this.
These are Central Americans.
This is a relatively new thing.
And the unaccompanied minors, I want to tell you one last thing before I go, because Border Patrol agents were very candid with me in saying that Many of the family units that were right in front of me are fake.
Since they ended DNA testing at the end of May, they are finding repeatedly, over and over again, without much digging, that these are fake families.
That the adults are not the biological parents of the kids that they're bringing in.
And they break them all the time.
They break them all the time, but they can't break them all.
steve bannon
By the way, they get the $2,200 and then they pimp out the children.
Go back and play that footage again, please, Denver.
Just work with me on this.
Just play the footage.
This is what's happening in your country.
You, this audience, we're consenting to this.
Of course, they're laying these gutless, coward congressmen, not stop it.
These kids are being trafficked into the United States of America.
As Carrie Lake says, it's for rape and torture.
That is what's happening.
Think about this for a second.
You're paying for it.
You're underwriting it.
They're going to stand in judgment on us because we are allowing it to happen.
And Todd, your nomenclature is a little bit wrong.
We're not just laying them in.
The Biden administration is inviting them in, making apps easier, opening the floodgates, allowing people to break our asylum laws every second of every day.
And these people are savvy.
The cartels are savvy.
They have advanced technology.
They've got the cell phones.
They know what the deal is.
They know the money they're going to get.
They know it's wide open.
They got to do it now, because I understand when Trump returns, the return of Trump, which is going to happen, and one of the reasons it's going to happen is this invasion, that it's all going to stop.
Also, this is why, and President Trump's got to stop this language about just the criminals.
We need a commitment for mass deportations of all this.
unidentified
Out!
steve bannon
You came in here illegally, the Biden regime broke the law, and this is high treason.
to exacerbate an invasion of our country. All of them out, out, out. Mass deportations, mass deportations. I understand that's a tough one, but folks, ICE has got to be, we've got to revive ICE. Todd Bensman, your closing thoughts, brother?
todd bensman
Well, I'll just use their nomenclature, which is safe, orderly, humane, legal pathways.
I don't even think we need to make up anything beyond that.
That's their policy.
That's the name of their official policy.
And it certainly is.
All of these people are coming in here at La Invitacion, the invitation of the government.
They are very happy.
They're waving.
They're giving me a peace sign.
This is like the best thing that could ever happen to them.
Free entry forever into the United States with full benefits.
Room, shelter, housing.
The cities that they're going into, in the interior, Chicago, New York, they're complaining.
Massachusetts, Boston, they're all complaining, but they're also providing Millions and millions of dollars, indeed, to every single one of them.
Well, word gets down the line to the trail saying, hey, New York's giving us everything.
We're in fancy hotels.
So, man, this is on them.
You know, you're inviting them in, too, to create your problem that you're complaining about.
unidentified
It's just crazy.
steve bannon
You can't blame the illegal aliens for coming across.
They're a rational actor.
Of course you would take, of course you would hit the bid to be an economic migrant here, which is exactly what our immigration asylum laws, our asylum law says, is not an item you can come into the United States for.
Otherwise, we'd have 5 billion people here.
This is an invasion of the southern border.
You can't blame these people.
They're rational actors.
They're absolutely rational actors.
Benzman, where do people go to your Twitter?
Where do they go to get all your great reporting on this?
todd bensman
Yeah, Benzman Todd at, I guess it's X now, and also I'm on Getter and Posting down here in my video.
You're going to see a lot more from last night at Getter and Bozeman's.
And of course, my book is overrun, How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in US History.
It is that. It is that.
unidentified
It's a disgrace.
steve bannon
And they're laughing at you.
Todd Bensman, thank you.
unidentified
Thank you.
steve bannon
While this is going on, while I'm staying on this topic, they're laughing in your face and treating you like chumps because you're the uneducated tribe.
You don't deserve any respect for these people.
unidentified
Let's play.
steve bannon
I want to play this song.
Bring in Tiffany Justice.
Let's play it.
unidentified
Let's get a time bomb, see you later I'm gone Penthouse suite, penthouse freaks Penthouse beach, fresh cow seats 10,000 beats, rent out lease What a option to buy, cop on the 5 a bench And when I'm not, who up in the sky Off in the line, with my twins-ito Up in the Benz-ito, with my Kiko from Queens Nicknamed the Ego, we go back like DA's And we're PJ's, now we reach the peak age Running trains for 3 days, who wanna ride It won't cost you a dollar with a soul for heart Of course you're still gonna holla Mama I'm thick, huh, I rip my *** through your hooters

Thank you.
steve bannon
Okay, Tiffany Justice, why are we playing rap music early in the morning here on War Room?
Why is that important, ma'am?
tiffany justice
Because they're laughing at us, Steve.
You're not wrong.
I just watched the previous clip.
They are laughing at us.
20,000 students will be joining, 20,000 children will be joining New York City schools.
And they don't have to get vaccinated, but our kids do.
American parents' kids have to be vaccinated.
Secretary Cardona put on Twitter yesterday a playlist for his D.O.P.E.
bus tour.
D.O.P.E.
standing for Defense of Public Education.
My goodness, education is failing across America, and this is what he posts?
The content in these songs is so graphic.
And we called him out on it immediately, and he deleted the post.
There you go.
But, you know, you played some of it.
There are other parts that we could get into.
Notorious B.I.G.
in the song Juice talks about, the album is dedicated to all the teachers who told me I'd never amount to nothing.
So I don't know that that's a glowing endorsement of public education in America.
And the question really is, why?
Why is Secretary Cardona posting these songs and wanting our children to be listening to this music?
It's one thing to listen to this music at the gym or when you're running, right?
But American parents are not playing songs where men are talking about ripping through women with their private parts and their very, very large penises in our cars when we're taking the kids to school or going to practice.
They're laughing at us.
It's like a joke.
And so, you know, I'm calling on every elected official to, in Congress, House Reps, Senate Ed, and Labor, bring Cardona in.
Make him speak to this.
Make him answer to why he would put out this list of these graphic songs.
Again, listen to it as an adult, you know, when you work out, whatever.
But the idea that this is what he's advertising as he's traveling across the country, our kids are not learning to read in school.
Steve, I come on all the time.
I tell you, two-thirds of American children are not learning to read in school.
And so the fact that this is what he thinks he's doing, I think, I don't really know why he would post that, honestly.
steve bannon
Because they're laughing at you.
I want to take a short break, commercial break, and we're going to come back to Tiffany.
The one thing is you smoked them out.
They feel they need a tour.
Because you're putting him on notice about the implosion of public education in this country.
That's why he's going on the Dope Tour.
Short break.
Tiffany Justice.
Dave Brat.
Next in the War Room.
unidentified
We rejoice when there's no more, let's take down the CCP!
Host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, there's a method to our madness here at the War Room.
While the fight, the lawfare and the 14th Amendment and everything they're trying to tie President Trump down on, you know, with all that, three of the fundamental issues of 2024, because it's about the direction of the nation, are going to be not simply the economy, economy.
But the disastrous state of the finances of the United States of America, number one.
Number two is the invasion of the southern border.
Number three, and I'm not rank ordering these, these are all power issues, is the state of education of our children and everything that's happening in these propaganda factories that the public schools have turned into.
I want to make sure everybody at that opening, cold open we had at MSNBC, remember, They're so shocked because you're the uneducated.
You're the tribe of no college degrees.
You're the tribe that breathes through their mouths.
They hate the fact that you not only have a seat at the table, but you're the protagonist driving the action here.
They're reacting to you.
They're reacting to you putting them on notice.
Look at what just happened with the Secretary of Education.
As soon as he put the list up, trying to be cute and smart for the dope tour, when Tiffany Justice and the Moms for Liberty, a grassroots organization, put it up and said, dude, this is unacceptable, boom, it comes down right away.
They hate that.
That's driving action.
And we need you armed, you non-college educated tribe.
Go to birchgold.com right now.
Make sure you ask the questions.
I've got another one coming on about the 15th.
I'm working non-stop on this thing.
The fourth installment.
Get the first three installments.
Particularly read the dead trap.
And read the one on de-dollarization.
But also call a Birch Colt representative and ask them just a simple question.
Why is the Federal Reserve spending all their time on a central bank digital currency and the other central banks in the Global South and the BRICS nations are buying gold in 22 and 23 at record rates?
Just ask that question.
Wait for the response.
Then you think about it.
Tiffany, Justice, they hate.
The Wall Street Journal had this massive op-ed or interview, whatever it was, of you and Tina.
Beautiful pictures, very profound.
But let's be honest.
The educational elite in this country hate you and they hate the Moms for Liberty because they hate parents.
Having a say so in saying, hey, we're not co-parenting with the government.
These are our children.
And this is one of the great epic fights of our time, ma'am.
And that's one of the reason you've smoked out the secretary of education and he's on the bus tour.
They now got to have a little thing.
And that's where he's trying to get some attention with his, uh, his playlist because you've smoked them out, ma'am.
tiffany justice
They're just trying to distract.
They want to distract you from the fact that our public schools are failing.
And that the teachers' unions are the foot soldiers of the progressive far left.
And Cardona is in bed with the teachers' unions big time.
He is an activist.
He is not an educator.
In Portland, they're no longer going to penalize students for cheating.
That's going to be allowed, I guess, now.
We have massive failure across the United States in our public schools.
You know, I come on, I talk about it all the time.
The songs that Cardona had on the playlist talk, they're anti-police.
They're anti-parent.
They're anti-law.
They're anti-education.
It just doesn't make sense.
So we have to step back and ask ourselves, why is this happening?
Why is he doing this?
We want people to focus on educating children and giving them the best that they can get in school, unfolding their full potential, every child.
Steve, we just added Idaho, so we're up to 47 states now, which is really exciting, growing every day.
And I'm in New Hampshire right now.
I'm doing a town hall with Nikki Haley and a roundtable tonight to talk to parents in New Hampshire about their concerns.
There's a court case here going on where A school socially transitioned, the gender transition socially transitioned a child behind the backs of parents.
So this is what's happening in our public schools.
Cardona wants you to ignore it.
He wants to distract you.
He's going to go on a fun little bus tour.
I tweeted out the other day, Secretary Cardona, my phone is on.
I haven't heard it ring.
Would you like to meet with any of our groups across the country?
300 chapters that I'm sure have quite a few questions to ask you.
steve bannon
I think we ought to have greeting parties by the Moms for Liberty.
I'm sure that would be very welcome by Secretary Cardona.
You can play the playlist for him.
Where do people go to find out about your town hall?
Where do they find out about your social media?
How do they read this great piece in the Wall Street Journal?
Now the elite in our nation are waking up to the power of the parent who says, no, the government's not going to co-parent with me.
I'm going to parent with my spouse, our children.
Where do they go, Tiffany Justice?
tiffany justice
Go to momsforliberty.org.
Check out the events.
Tina Deskovich is going to be out in Arizona in Mesa doing a town hall on September 14th.
We'll be in Montgomery County, Maryland.
We're doing another town hall September 26th.
To shine a light on Montgomery County, which is now forcing masks back on students.
And that's also the county, Steve, that won't allow the parents to opt out of the Pride storybook collection.
So we are traveling the country too, and we are making sure that parents are awake, involved, and having their voices heard and protecting our children.
steve bannon
Some of the reasons that the left comes after Moms for Liberty every day.
Tiffany Justice, fight on, ma'am.
tiffany justice
Yes, sir.
steve bannon
The economy and the finances of the nation, the invasion of the southern border, the education of our children.
Remember that.
Those are power vectors that we own and dominate.
And they hate the fact you have anything to say about it.
Short commercial break.
We're going to leave this hour with an American original.
Hank Williams.
I'm bound for the promised land.
Dave Brat.
Stephanie Pomboy on the other side.

Just a wishful lie to Canaan's fair and happy land where my possessions lie.
I am bound for the promised land.
I am bound for the promised land.
Go with me, I am bound for the promised land.
For all those wide extended plains shine on eternal days.
There God, the sun forever reigns and scatters night away.
I am bound for the promised land.
And I am bound for the promised land Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land
