This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.

Because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
President Trump 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.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
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?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb.
I'm concerned for the speaker that he seems to be a little rattled and unhinged in a time when we need focus and strong effort.
Whether or not McCarthy faces a motion to vacate is within his own hands.
All he has to do is come into compliance.
nicolle wallace
He was stabbed by the Justice Department earlier today.
Federal prosecutors have indicted President Joe Biden's sole surviving son, Hunter Biden, on three criminal counts.
According to NBC's reporting, quote, two counts are tied to Biden allegedly filing a form.
Claiming that he was not using illegal drugs at the time he purchased a Colt Cobra revolver in October of 2018.
The third count alleges that he possessed a firearm while using a narcotic.
Today's indictment is the latest chapter in a legal saga filled with pretty dramatic and public twists and turns lately.
It is one that comes with deep personal anguish for the president and his entire family.
The charges were brought by special counsel David Weiss, who was granted special counsel status by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
That was after a plea deal for Hunter Biden collapsed at the last minute in court.
According to the terms of that deal, Hunter Biden would have pled guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and would have entered a diversion agreement, which would have led to the gun charge being dropped in two years.
Now, those tax charges were not brought against Hunter Biden today.
Regarding the gun charges, New York Times reports this, that it is, quote, only sporadically brought against first-time offenders, particularly ones like Mr. Biden, who's not accused of using the weapon in another crime.
The nature of the charge could ultimately play a major role in the case going forward.
New York Times reports this, quote, Mr. Biden's lawyers have argued to the Justice Department officials that the charge will ultimately be thrown out because a series of Supreme Court and appeals court decisions have cast doubt on the constitutionality of the federal government putting certain conditions on firearms purchases.
steve bannon
Okay, Thursday, 14th September, Year of Our Lord 2023.
A lot going on.
Matt Gaetz, a continual meltdown over in the house.
I've got some inside baseball on that.
But I first want to go to the way, particularly Nicole.
You know, Nicole Wallace is our afternoon, she's afternoon Mika.
You have morning Miki, you have afternoon Mika.
And the way they present things at MSNBC, I do this just to blow your head up.
Mike Davis, make this make sense.
What's going on here?
Is this, is these charges as tough as they should be?
MSNBC makes it seem like the Justice Department is now going out of its way.
After the sweetheart deal he had, they get the judge, I think the Obama or the Biden judge blew it up in everybody's face.
What's going on here?
Is this a big deal today?
mike davis
It's a big deal in the sense that it's continuing David Weiss's years-long cover-up for the Biden.
So people should not be fooled at all by these gun charges against Hunter Biden.
Remember, David Weiss is, they say he's a Trump U.S.
attorney.
I was the chief counsel for nominations when his nomination went through the Senate Judiciary Committee.
He has picked He was picked by both Democrat home state senators, which has been the tradition under the Blue Slip process, this bogus process where the home state senators get a pick, the U.S.
attorney who would investigate corruption charges against them, the district court judges who would oversee the corruption trial, and the U.S.
marshal who would escort them to prison.
This is a racket by senators to protect their own.
The two Democrat home state senators picked David Weiss.
for this U.S. attorney slot in Delaware and he has delivered for the Bidens. He has more than delivered for the Bidens. He lets serious tax charges, the statute of limitations on serious tax charges expire. He buried evidence deemed credible by the Pittsburgh U.S.
Attorney about the $10 million foreign bribe by Burisma to the Bidens.
He has attempted to give Hunter this sweetheart deal with this backdoor amnesty to protect Joe Biden.
And this is a continuation of this scam that David Weiss has been running.
Here's the tell.
Why aren't they moving forward with charges related to tax evasion or wire fraud or foreign corruption or things that could implicate President Biden?
They're only moving forward with this gun charge knowing full well that Hunter Biden will not spend a day in prison.
They're going to come up, they're going to use this charge to cover up for the Bidens until November 5th, 2024, when Congress issues subpoenas for the Biden Justice Department's cover up for their boss, President Biden.
They're going to point to these charges and say there's an ongoing criminal process, we can't respond to Congress, we can't testify.
We can't provide documents.
And then Joe Biden's not going to pardon Hunter right now because that makes Hunter available to Congress for testimony.
He can't plead the Fifth Amendment if they pardon him right now.
He can't plead the Fifth Amendment if David Weiss cuts a sweetheart deal with immunity right now from further prosecution.
So they're going to wait, and they're going to wait until the very end, and then they're going to pardon him, or David Weiss is going to drop these charges with prejudice, or he's going to come up with a sweetheart deal with broad immunity.
This is a cover-up for President Biden.
steve bannon
What action would need to be taken by David Weiss for Mike Davis to give his blessing and say, okay, it's not a cover-up anymore?
What would need to happen on these other charges or in this charge?
mike davis
Well, I mean, I think it's it's too late.
I mean, he let the statute of limitations expire for tax evasion related to foreign corruption, where Joe Biden and his every family member, it seems, except for the five year old granddaughter who they finally claimed after five years under political pressure, every Every scumbag sleazeball Biden was on the Chinese, Ukrainian, Romanian payrolls.
And it's not just this crackhead son with a gun.
Who gives a damn about this crackhead son with a gun?
That's why I'm saying House Republicans should think about giving Hunter Biden immunity to come in to say, you know what?
We're going to give you immunity for this bogus gun charge.
We want you to come in and testify about the Biden crime family's rackets.
And if Biden lies or if Biden obstructs, then when President Trump is back in office on January 20th, 2025, his acting Attorney General can indict Hunter Biden for obstruction, for lying to Congress, for refusing to cooperate.
It's time for the Republicans to take off the gloves here because this is an obvious cover-up for President Biden and his foreign corruption.
steve bannon
We're going to get into this a minute when Seb joins us about Comer.
Today was supposed to be the big reveal of the investigations with Comer and Jordan, and it was such a fiasco.
They were so unprepared and doing such an unprofessional job that the charges started going back and forth on McCarthy.
Finally, he started using profanity about, hey, if you want a motion to vacate me so much, I dare you.
What do you need to see out of Comer and Jordan?
Because this is serious.
If you're going to go down this path on really bribery and treasons, that's what it is.
Bribery and treason.
You got to be very focused and very serious.
Where do you think we are right now in all of that?
mike davis
I would say this to House Republicans.
If you don't think that we should move forward with an impeachment inquiry right now when we have overwhelming evidence that the president of the United States is compromised, compromised by tens of millions of dollars in corrupt foreign payments from our worst enemy, China, along with the biggest trouble spots in the world with China and Ukraine, or China and Taiwan and Russia and Ukraine.
If you don't think we should move forward now, what the hell are you doing as an elected member of the House of Representatives?
You have a constitutional duty to look into foreign bribery as an impeachable offense.
We can't have A compromise president of the United States where Putin almost certainly has blackmail on President Biden because there are 17 audio recordings, 15 with Hunter and two with then Vice President Joe Biden where these two corrupt buffoons are shaking down this Burisma executive for this $10 million foreign bribe.
$10 million while he's the Vice President of the United States that if If the Ukrainian president doesn't fire the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Burisma and the Bidens, Ukraine's going to lose a billion dollars in U.S.
assistance.
Biden bragged about the fact that he threatened to pull the aid.
He left out the fact that he got $10 million to do this.
Being compromised with foreign bribes has devastating consequences for a country.
We would not be in a war in Ukraine twice.
With Russia taking Crimea, the first time Obama put Biden in charge of Ukraine as vice president, four years of peace during the Trump presidency, and here we have this corrupt, compromised, Joe Biden back as the President of the United States.
Putin has this blackmail on him and now he's trying to take the rest of Ukraine.
That $10 million bribe from Burisma has $10 million says cost American taxpayers $100 billion and running and is putting us in a dangerous proxy war with a nuclear superpower.
steve bannon
Mike Davis, how do people get you at Article 3 and how do they follow you on social media?
Your dance card is very full as far as media hits go.
So how do people follow you and get to see you on other places?
mike davis
Man, I hope I don't have to put on my uniform and go back to the Capitol and show these bozos how to do it, but it's article3project.org, article3project.org, you can donate there, at article3project, at article3project on Getter, Twitter, and Truth, and my personal is at mrddmia, mrddmia.
steve bannon
Thank you, Steve.
Mike, you're a patriot and a hero.
And I got to tell you, I think in this time, we need a little Mike Davis up in the Capitol right now.
We need some serious people who are fighters, who know the law, are decent people, but will not back down.
You got too many people just wandering around up there.
And this needs to be focused and professional and intense.
It couldn't be a better, a higher use of your time than that.
But thanks, Mike, for coming.
That's my own personal and professional opinion.
But thanks for coming on, brother.
mike davis
Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
Seb Gorka, today was supposed to be the big presentation on impeachment and what the process was.
Comer couldn't answer what was going to happen if the government got shut down.
It was like a question he never even thought of.
He couldn't give a timeline.
It's back to your mantra of nothing's organized.
As you know, you have to step into a decision.
You have to own the room and you have to sit there and go bang, bang, bang.
None of that.
This was so bad, they started coming after McCarthy, and he starts throwing F-bombs out there to basically say, come on, bring it.
If you want to do a motion of AK, come on, bring it.
Because it got right back to the, it got off the impeachment, got back to the spending.
Because Jordan and Comer, how can you screw up a presentation to the conference, brother?
Seb Gorka.
sebastian gorka
So I'm kind of conflicted here, Steve.
Maybe you can help me out with your sources.
So it looks like Kevin McCarthy watches the War Room because we brought the heat last week this time, and then he decides Monday to actually follow through because we said the Hobbits demand it.
But I guess Coma doesn't watch the War Room because how many months have I been hammering him on your show every Thursday saying, Dude, get the oxygen thieves out of the way of the poster boards so we can actually read the stupid little diagrams you think are going to explain a corruption that doesn't need explaining.
How can you have the first press conference?
Oh, he got $32 from some Romanian dude.
$1.4 billion From the National Bank of Communist China.
Just focus on that.
How about we talk about that for just 30 minutes.
And then the question of what is the Vice President doing with three fake government email accounts.
Not one, not two, but three of them.
That's what the press conference should be like.
And why don't you put somebody who can actually speak on the platform.
To actually deliver the information to the American people.
Could you imagine?
It doesn't have to be Matt Gaetz, but Matt Gaetz knows how to do this.
Imagine if Byron Donalds was the front man through all this.
And he just talked about 1.4 billion from Communist China after he flew back on Daddy's Air Force Two and the multiple fake pseudonymous email accounts.
We're going to go to a short break.
Dr. Seb Gorka is officially off the chain here in the War Room on a Thursday.
Short commercial break.
place but we could actually get some information out there.
steve bannon
We're gonna go to a short break. Dr. Seb Gorka is officially off the chain here in the war room on a Thursday. Short commercial break. Back in the war room in a moment.

...this is your way well he he could pass things with democratic votes probably but that they've threatened him to fire him basically using that motion to vacate if he uses democratic votes to get to 218. So can he take things to the floor without passing a rule? Can he get things right on the floor and just use Democrats to avoid a government shutdown? Well the issue now that Kevin has
is because he reversed himself from calling a vote for the impeachment inquiry on the president, I don't think the Democrats are in any mood to want to cooperate knowing that they're going after the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party.
I mean, why should they play ball when, you know, 48 hours earlier, the Speaker came out and said, you know, we're going to move forward on this inquiry.
Probably does lead to a vote at some point down the line, maybe a month or two down the line.
So it is, there is no cooperation over in the House.
You know, it's like screw you and everyone that looks like you in terms of probably from the from the Democratic side in terms of trying to get any cooperation.
So even though they've had six weeks off, I mean, they had a six week recess.
Things aren't any better today than they were in July when they adjourned for the six week recess.
...challenges that McCarthy now faces to avoid a government shutdown by the end of this month.
Remember that they have to get a bill passed by September 30th in order to do just that.
But there are sharp divisions within his conference about how to move forward.
And there are threats.
On the far right, from Congressman Matt Gaetz in particular, that if he does move forward with that short-term bill, that would be enough to force a vote to seek his ouster as Speaker of the House.
Something that could happen if five Republicans vote to oust him, and all Democrats do as well.
Kevin McCarthy said he was having none of it.
He said that we need to avoid a government shutdown.
It would be bad for them politically.
Everyone would lose.
steve bannon
Kevin McCarthy has always got the cash flow.
A couple of, several I'm bringing in here, a couple of Updates inside baseball, Elise Stefanik.
They've reached out to Elise Stefanik.
Remember what she did in the first impeachment?
Kind of brought order out of chaos in the messaging.
They've reached out to Stefanik to step in here.
The impeachment process is so out of control, and Seb, to your part, no messagings, no strategic thinking, not really getting to the point.
They've asked Stefanik and her staff to step in here and sort things out.
This morning they had this presentation.
It was such a disaster.
Right?
That people just said, what are we doing here?
You should never do a political impeachment, although it is a political process.
It has to be serious.
And here, Seb, as you know, it's not high crimes and misdemeanor.
We have bribery and treason.
He sold us out to the existential threat of our nation for cash money, Seb Gorka.
sebastian gorka
So, you know, It doesn't have to be Goldman Sachs or on the deck of a destroyer in the Pacific, but those are the kinds of environments you are very au fait with.
But any organization, I don't care if it's the Girl Scouts selling cookies or whether it's planning operation Overlord.
What grade would we give the GOP and McCarthy and Comer and basically all of the ones in leadership position over the last eight months?
What have they actually put on the table?
Let's be clear here.
The evidence that is rife, that is rampant, I think two days ago Jesse Waters destroyed the Biden case in a four-minute rant at the beginning of the five-way.
I think it was extemporaneous where he just listed off the most egregious corruption and treason.
These are exactly the things that impeachment was invented for.
When you are in the thrall of, when you are in the pocket of, The greatest enemy the Republic currently has, that is when impeachment must happen.
not when we or you or I put pressure on the leadership from media or somebody whispers in Kevin's ear at the last moment and he decides to do it, but you're screaming at each other, effing and blinding behind closed doors, then you're a bunch of amateurs.
Then really you don't care about the Republic.
You're not serious about your oath of office because you have one job now and one job only.
Remove the threat to the nation.
This is a national security threat.
This man must be politically removed from office.
Nothing else matters.
I'm not interested in, oh, will there be a better candidate?
Is Gavin Newsom got a nicer smile?
I couldn't give a damn, Steve.
You know what I'm talking about.
This is a threat to our national security.
If your family I don't care whether it's your second cousin twice removed or it's your actual son, your second born son, walks away with over a billion dollars from the National Bank of Communist China.
I'm sorry.
That's it.
You're done.
You're done.
You are a threat to America, whether you're a postal worker or whether you're the president.
He's got to be removed.
He's got to be impeached.
steve bannon
By the way, Seb, you know the way the city works and the process.
David Ignatius comes out yesterday with that column in the Washington Post.
I mean, he's the comms director for the CIA.
You know that.
sebastian gorka
He didn't write that article.
Langley wrote that article, Steve.
steve bannon
So what does that mean?
If it came out of Langley, what is Langley telling the nation?
sebastian gorka
They're worried and they can't shred the documents fast enough.
If you've got whistleblowers talking about the reward money for the CIA analysts that reversed their analysis on Wuhan, it's just, I'm sorry, they've run out of bleach bit.
That's what it means.
Because that man, Ignatius, he's never written a column in his life.
He gets it handed to him.
It gets sent to him, you know, either out of, you know, ODNI, out of Langley.
Here, here, here's your article.
Good boy.
There you go.
Because they're worried.
They know, look, the nice thing about all of this is, Steve, and I'm not being facetious here, Biden's, Biden's really stupid.
I mean, he's a very stupid man.
And Hunter's an addict who's stupid.
So they know.
They know that this evidence is going to come.
Even more evidence.
There will be, you know, the facts.
Hey, G, send the money now.
I mean, there literally will be, you know, I need another Porsche.
Can you send it to my PayPal account now?
It's out there.
They know it's coming.
That's why they've got to dump him now.
And we're just having arguments behind closed doors in the GOP.
I mean, Steve, if you don't laugh, You've got to cry because this is a level of incompetence that, I mean this is Monty Python Steve.
This is absurd.
steve bannon
Remember, for the audience, remember, Seb's saying the CIA and these guys, they know what the evidence is.
This has been out there for years.
This is no surprise to anybody in the apparatus.
That's why Ignatius drops the letter as soon as we get back and get rolling on this thing.
Seb, you're a student of history and of leadership.
I want to tell you, we've got a couple minutes left.
Kevin McCarthy, is he exuding the command presence you need to see in a time of constitutional crisis, sir?
sebastian gorka
Leading question, Council.
Look, I'll say it one more time.
Not a subversive like Mitch.
He's not actually batting for the other side, like McConnell.
But he's not MAGA, and he's not America First in his gene code, in his marrow.
I'll say this one thing for him that I hope to be true, that I think is true, He, unlike Mitch and others, can be forced to do the right thing.
Forced.
Do you hear me?
By us.
That's how Monday happened.
He can be forced to do the right thing.
But otherwise, he will not do the right thing.
That's the strategic analysis.
And if you want more of that kind of strategic analysis, You were on my show for an hour yesterday.
It's on Rumble.
It's on my social media.
We went the whole gamut.
Impeachment, China, the swamp, the president after 24.
So, but he can, we, bottom line, we have to force him to do the right thing.
We have to force him.
It can't be done.
steve bannon
Seb, last question.
On the impeachment, if Stefano gets involved, is your recommendation we move quickly?
I mean, we start releasing documents, not just subpoena people, but should the Republican Party put out the wire transfer?
Start to overwhelm people with the actual evidence that's there that they've only talked about.
Start to show the receipts.
sebastian gorka
Double track, double track.
So you can bring Elyse or anybody else, but they can be the front people.
I don't care.
You've got to bring in the pros.
You've got to bring the people in who can communicate, okay?
My buddy Chris Plant says, hey, hire me.
I can do comms.
I don't care whether it's Chris, whether it's you, whether it's me.
It doesn't have to be any of us.
People who do this for a living, who communicate, bring Bring us in behind closed doors.
We don't need the glory.
We will tell you to do two things, and I think you'll agree.
You've got to send all the information out now.
You've got to flood the zone so it's out there, so Americans can download it, so the three Democrats who are decent can read it.
Everything has to go out there now, and then you have to communicate two things, just two things, nonstop.
Hammer the two biggest things.
China, 1.4 billion fake email accounts while you're vice president.
Pick the two that are the easiest to understand, are the key to a corrupt regime, and hammer them non-stop.
That's how you communicate.
Keep it simple, stupid, at the top level, and then flood the zone with everything else.
It's not rocket science, Steve.
You know better than anyone.
steve bannon
Chris Plant's a great idea.
I'm going to run that.
That's a fabulous idea, by the way.
Thanks, Chris, for volunteering.
Real quickly, Seb, how do people get to all your content?
You're putting it out 24-7.
Where do they go?

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
todd bensman
The increase in Yuma apprehensions had created pressures to quickly process migrants and decrease the time available to review each file." Expect those screening programs to be degraded indefinitely because vast numbers of special interest aliens are currently pouring through the Darien Gap between Columbia and Panama.
Usually 10,000 migrants or less pass through the gap.
In 2023, however, 300,000 plus have gone through the gap.
And whereas only 3,000 or 4,000 special interest aliens among them reached our southern border annually, the Daily Caller just reported that 75,000 came in just the last nine months.
DHS cannot possibly vet or even interview a fraction of these numbers, raising the terrorism risk.
And whereas about 20 aliens on the terror watch list were caught at the Southwest border in prior years, since this crisis began in 2021 through the end of July, Border Patrol apprehended an almost implausibly large number of them, 258 as of now.
Those watchlisted 258 are just the ones Border Patrol managed to catch.
Border Patrol failed to apprehend a record-breaking 1.8 million migrants who slipped into the interior.
Mass migration-related system failure is indicated in Mexico, too.
In July 2021, Mexico released a watchlist in Yemeni to clear their overcrowded detention centers and that set off another manhunt.
I don't know if he was ever found.
steve bannon
The case of a Lebanese-Venezuelan who crossed from Matamoros to Brownsville in December 2021 The testimony was galvanizing, and in the War Room in Washington, we have the one and only Todd Bensman.
unidentified
Todd, cut to the chase.
steve bannon
Why are we even having more testimony?
We know what's going on.
Why are we just down there stopping the border?
Your stuff's always great, but what more do they need to hear?
todd bensman
You know, I think that the reason they had this hearing was a CNN report, believe it or not, came from CNN about a smuggler associated with ISIS moving a bunch of Uzbekistanis in and causing this huge nationwide manhunt, everybody, a five alarm fire in the Biden administration and they leaked this to, I think, CNN to show how on top of it they were.
But actually, the story was that they're not on top of it because they didn't interview these Uzbekistanis the way they were supposed to when they caught them at the border.
They had to chase them down all over the country to make sure they weren't terrorists.
I don't know what they found.
They're not saying what they found.
And so there was interest, finally, in the Republican-controlled House to have a larger hearing to take a bigger, broader look.
And what's actually going on down there with the terrorism threat.
And I think it was a legitimate topic to finally have a hearing about.
They should have more hearings.
I don't think you can have enough about the border to keep driving the leadership and the politics to force something to happen.
steve bannon
Hang on a second.
You said they had to go.
They didn't do the proper screening.
We've got terrorists coming in all the time.
You have your earlier book on that.
You've reported on that ad nauseum.
Then you said they had to chase them down throughout the country.
Go back to that article and document you showed me the other day, and I want to talk numbers.
When you say chase them down throughout the country, the United States is a pretty vast country, even the lower 48.
This report you showed me, we have no earthly idea where anybody is, Todd.
Am I not correct?
Walk me through that thing you showed me the other day.
They even admitted, this is them admitting that there's millions, it's all phony, it's all performative.
These people come to the country, we have no earthly idea where they are, and now they're admitting it, sir.
todd bensman
The inspector general came out with a DHS, came out with a stunning report, investigative report last week.
I mean, really stunning.
I mean, you cannot believe this, that the Biden administration has been taking in all of these hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens over the border and not getting their addresses to where they're going.
They're required to.
There's a mandate.
You have to be able to track them down and stay in touch with them and be able to arrest them when they need to be arrested.
But it turns out that the administration has just been blowing it off.
So there are hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens in the country who have just disappeared.
We have no way of tracking them down.
They gave us fake addresses, no addresses, the same addresses, 800,000, 900,000, you know, fake addresses.
Nobody's got a clue about where anybody is.
So you can imagine how hard it would have been for them to track down those Uzbekistanis I'll bet you they still haven't tracked them all down because they didn't require addresses.
They're just letting them all in and just forget it.
Who cares what happens to them?
steve bannon
By the way, is this, is this not, there's millions of people here that give false addresses and they don't even follow up.
Is that not grounds enough for the removal of Mallorcas?
What do people need?
This is the Inspector General of DHS.
This is not Gateway Pundit or Todd Bensman or Matt Boll over at Breitbart.
Or was it the great young man they've got that does the immigration reporting over Breitbart?
This is not anybody like that.
This is the inspector general of the department itself, of the cabinet position itself.
His report, you read it, it's like...
Is this Revolver News?
Is this Citizen... Is this Kane wrote this up?
There's literally millions of just... And the illegal aliens coming through know that there's no penalty.
They just give you a phony address.
Isn't one of the addresses one they just take off a form and it's like hundreds of thousands of the same address, brother?
todd bensman
Yeah.
I mean, listen, what happened here is the IG came up with four recommendations.
Very unusual That the administration has disputed all four of them.
They are just not backing down.
They're not giving up on any of this.
We didn't do it.
None of that's true.
You know, and that's unusual.
That is running cover.
In my opinion, that's just running cover.
They're trying to just delay until this thing moves off of the media cycle.
But the fact of the matter is that they initiated a mass migration crisis, bringing in millions and millions of people, and then I think, probably in a deliberative way, decided to just let them kind of disappear so that we'd never be able to track them down.
We will never be able to track Any of these people down because you have to have a Verified address before you release them, but what they did instead was they people were writing down, you know Dairy Queen, you know an address to an auto sales lot They're laughing at us.
churches, addresses, and it'd be the same address used hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times, just passing the address from one to the other.
Nobody is bothering, I think on purpose, to verify any of it.
steve bannon
They're laughing at us.
They're laughing at us and they should laugh at us.
Once they get in here, they're saying, well, there's a process and we're going to, you know, do the, the, the parole.
They just come into the country.
They don't even follow up.
They don't even have the addresses.
The real reason I had you here for all the great testimony in this, in this story, we're going to drill down more, but a matter of consequence for the moment, Todd Bensman, and I need your advice to the audience.
The CR, and people should know, there are meetings today that they're trying to cut a deal on the CR.
And, as you know, we're the hardliners.
No CR.
When it strikes midnight on the 30th, tough break for a swell guy.
No more money to the government.
Biden figures it out.
Now, people are trying to do it.
Todd, one of the big linchpins they're offering up is to do a CR that had HR, was it HR 1 or 2, the big border immigration bill.
Now, I think it's lovely in itself, but it's 2, HR 2.
You can't, we've got enough laws, just look at the one there, just execute what you've got right now.
Is that Worth it right now because it was kind of a messaging bill in your mind because you're the professional if that's attached to a CR Do you give them another 30 or 60 days?
Because they've attached that bill to the CR or is that just another shiny toy for people right now?
todd bensman
I mean look I just don't I don't see oh, I think I think that there's no the only leverage That Republicans have are people that are interested I mean, there are some Democrats that are interested in border security.
I don't know too many of them, but the only leverage is, you know, the purse strings, in my opinion.
I think the Senate is coming out with a version of that same bill.
We'll see if they can reconcile, but I think without Democrats signing on, and they will not, they will absolutely not touch this thing, you have this one point of leverage.
Let's see if anybody's gonna use it.
steve bannon
And you're saying, so you're saying if they attach it, no go.
You want to use the leverage now for either defunding my Yorkers or getting in there and putting money that they gotta restart ICE.
You're saying use the money to get the response that we want to secure the border?
Is that your point?
And you don't need HRT to do that right now?
todd bensman
Yes.
Yes.
steve bannon
How, given where we are, And you see, we got the team down in Darien, and the footage in Darien, Todd, is the worst I've ever seen.
To the point that the New York Times is picking it up today.
The New York Times is finally saying, you know, they got this thing called the Darien Gap, and they've got some of the pictures.
They pulled stills from you and from Burquam and these other guys.
Given everything that's coming through, and knowing that we don't have any addresses, they just put the Dairy Queen.
Is it going to be possible to do the deportations we need to do to get these people out of the country and to get the nation back on a steady footing like in New York City with 110,000 all go home and we can have New York City back again, sir?
todd bensman
Man, I just don't see how.
I mean, logistically, they have 6,000 ERO officers, ICE does.
They set this thing up in a way that seems almost deliberately impossible to fix later in a Republican administration.
There are so many millions that are here.
We don't know where they are.
And so many, many hundreds of thousands more coming through the Darien Gap.
I think the same thing is going to happen.
They come in, they disappear.
At some point, you just have to, you know, hire another 6,000 agents.
And go after it.
And I have to say, though, that, you know, today in the hearing, the Democrats that were there, they don't want to hear it.
They don't want to support it.
They don't agree that there's something unusual happening.
If there is something unusual happening and that all these people are coming in, I watched them, I listened to them.
Uh, then they think this is great.
This is a great thing that's happening.
It's helping our country.
Uh, I mean, we're on just two different planets, really.
They had a Cato guy in there today, uh, as their main witness.
They couldn't even find somebody from federal government service to come in and talk about this threat.
Uh, they had a Cato guy come in here and say the FBI watch list Has like no real terrorists on it.
They just throw people up there just to throw people up there and put names on there of like families or somebody who phoned somebody.
So they're saying the FBI watch list all these watch lists of people are not aren't even terrorists.
That's what we're dealing with and the Democrat this is the Democrats.
you know, witness and they loved what he was saying.
Jerry Nadler was up there saying, yeah, yeah, they're not even real terrorists.
I have to worry about this.
That's kind of what we're dealing with.
unidentified
This is like the anti- Jerry Nadler.
todd bensman
The anti- Jerry Nadler.
steve bannon
Jerry Nadler, after he's at the 9-11 ceremony, you know, crying the big crocodile tears, there's 110,000 illegal aliens in New York at a minimum and terrorist I tell you what, Todd, hang here for one second, we're taking a short commercial break.
We're gonna be back in The Worm in just a moment.
unidentified
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!
War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon
8 p.m.
tonight on the main War Room Getter account and Rumble, and my personal Getter account that has 4.6 million followers, we're gonna play the rest of the story, the premiere of Lara Logan's new, I think, 12-part series.
It's magnificent.
8 o'clock, and I'm gonna be there, chat, maybe actually get some people up, do some Q&A, but I want everybody to pile in this War Room Posse, all totally free.
So we got that.
Also, James O'Keefe has got footage from Maui.
I haven't seen it yet.
We're going to try to get James on here tomorrow.
I want everybody to go support and check out Jace Medical.

When they happen, boom, your whole life changes.
Make sure you've got access to the medicine you need.
Go to JaceMedical.com.
Do it today.
Todd Benson, are the Republicans, I know there's a number of guys up there, men and women up there that get this.
Is there going to be action?
And by action, I mean what you've been advocating from day one.
It's not HR 2 right now.
It's not the time or the place for that.
It's the time to get tough about the money.
Once again, give me a minute because we're out of time.
What Todd Benson recommends, if you want to change this, if you want to change the incentives here, what do you do with the money that DHS has?
todd bensman
Well, in my opinion, I just came back from the border last week.
I was down there for most of the week watching just hundreds of family units, mostly Central Americans, cross in, telling me that the reason they're coming is because they're letting us in, so why not?
And I think that the only leverage point that Republicans really have is the power of the purse.
They need to withhold cash.
Withhold cash, strategically.
And with a demand that the administration start detaining, at the very least, all of those family units that are coming across.
Build the soft-sided facility, get the camps built, and hold them, and detain them, and start deporting them.
Because, really, that's the only thing that's going to end this.
When those migrants hear that they are not getting in, that they're being detained and deported, they'll stop coming.
That's really what we need.
We don't need a new law right now.
We don't need a two or any of that.
We just need a change in policy.
steve bannon
Put a pin in that right now.
You've got to defund that.
You've got to defund the FBI.
You've got to defund any of these CRs.
First of all, there should be no CR.
But even if they're having a discussion, those defunding mechanisms have to be there.
Then it's totally performative.
If they're talking about attaching HR2, that's performance.
If they're talking about cutting off the money to Mayorkas until we secure the border, Then it's a different conversation, and this is going to get quite heated over the next week, and this audience is going to be at the forefront.
Ben Smith, how do people get to you?
Thank you for coming in today.
Great testimony.
Great to be here.
I'm going to have you back.
The IG report, look, the inspector generals are like Caesar's wife in these cabinet massive bureaucracies.
Their reports are not to be questioned.
The IG is non-partisan.
They come out and just lay out the facts as they are.
To have an administration go after all four points shows you how radioactive this thing is.
This is one of the most explosive reports I've seen, because it says everything you've been told is a lie.
Bensman, how do they get... We'll have you back on to go through in detail.
How do they get you on social media, your book, your website, all of it?
todd bensman
Yeah, Todd Binsman at Getter and BinsmanTodd at X. My book is Overrun, How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S.
History.
The first book, which really mattered today, is America's Covert Border War.
It's all about this jihadist, the programs we've put down there and the threat, the people we've caught, etc.
And ToddBinsman.com.
I'm with Center for Immigration Studies.
steve bannon
Benzmann, thank you for coming in.
We're going to break down that IG report because it tells you what Benzmann's been telling you forever.
ICE has been destroyed.
But now they don't even have the addresses.
They're laughing in your face.
This, to me, is a crime.
This is criminal what they've done.
Benzmann, thank you.
We're going to get to the bottom of it.
In the next hour, we're going to get it.
The defense budget, the defense budget can't even get voted out.
And these behind-the-scenes deals they're cutting right now, part of that is to get the defense budget at least approved and move forward.
And that's a huge uptick.
It's almost a trillion dollars.
I think it's $880 billion.
You can't get it because the whole thing's so woke and all the field officers are so woke.
We're going to talk about Tuberville, what Coach Tuberville is doing, which is heroic.
We've got a great crew that's going to join me to go through this.
The CCP's influence, what's behind the impeachment of the bribery and the treason.
This audience, you're active members of this drama.
You're not passive.
You're just not sitting there.
You are the driver of the action.
And that's one of the reasons that we try to get people on here that immerse you with this insight based on right now.
They're trying to cut deals.
Here's what they're trying to do.
They're trying to, and a lot of this, they've cut McCarthy even out of this.
The moderates are working with the Freedom Caucus and throwing up a couple proposals.
Give us a CR.
Of course, the Freedom Caucus, in particular, is like 10 or 12.
Our guys, they're saying absolutely no way in anything.
But the discussions are, let's have a CR.
Let's have a cut in the budget.
Let's attach the defense bill.
Let's attach H.R.
unidentified
2.
steve bannon
But it doesn't go after, no defunding of DOJ, no defunding FBI, no defunding of DHS.
So there's huge consternation, but my point is, even in the discussion, we want to make sure you have the information, so that when you call your representative to give him the old what-for, you speak from intelligence.

We talked about with Nigel.
Find out and ask the question.
Call Philip Patrick and the team over there.
Ask him a question.
Why is the federal government?
Why is the Federal Reserve besides printing money to bury us?
Why are they spending so much time on this central bank digital currency where the central banks of the BRICS nation that have all the resources They're buying gold with both hands.
22 is a record year and 23 is a bigger record year than that.
Why are they doing that?
Ask Philip Patrick and the team.
Wait for the response and then absorb it and see if it changes your personal actions.

Coach Tuberville, what exactly is happening with the woken, weaponized U.S.
military today?
Short break, back in the warm in a moment.
