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
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.
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.
War Room.
I'm going to show you what's happening.
I'm going to show you a chicken.
of
Oh and the people of the city.
The city was hit by a tornado in the city of Al-Hajj, which was located in the city of Al-Hajj, and was hit by a tornado in the city of Al-Hajj, which was located in the city of Al-Hajj,
and was hit by a tornado in the city of Al-Hajj.
The city of Al-Hajj was hit by a tornado in the city of Al-Hajj, which was located
in the city of Al-Hajj, and was hit by a tornado Well, he acknowledged that we were all caught off guard.
I think by definition, this is an intelligence failure, but it's actually more than that.
It's also a border security failure.
And I think the question, Alex, at this hour is, where will Israel go next?
I mean, certainly they will battle Palestinian terrorists that have infiltrated the country.
They'll stage hospital rescue operations, and then we can expect a comprehensive thorough degradation and destruction of Hamas's war-making capabilities inside Gaza I think the question is will the violence spread to the West Bank?
And more fundamentally will Israel launch military attacks and by the way, I think they would be absolutely justified in doing so against other Iranian proxies around the region because after all Hamas's main patron is Iran, which does not want to see greater integration, greater peace between Israel and the Arab states It's...
So, on that front, Hezbollah, given the military might of Hezbollah, How delicately does Israel have to approach something like that if they choose to engage them forcefully?
Zero delicateness, if you will.
I think they're going to deal with Hezbollah with a very tough iron fist.
Hezbollah is a terrorist military that has about 200,000 medium and long-range ballistic missiles aimed directly at Israel.
Israel's a pretty small country.
You know, 9 million people about the size of Rhode Island.
One main populated center around Tel Aviv.
Israeli officials refer to the country as a country of just a hundred targets.
If a terrorist military with ballistic missiles can fire a hundred targets strategically at the center point of Israel, it's going to be a very difficult day for Israelis.
And they know that.
The Israeli civil defense authorities have the civilian population well-trained to scurry into bomb shelters.
The United States has helped field the Iron Dome anti-rocket artillery and mortar batteries to support Israel's defense.
So Israel may have to go on the offensive across the northern border, not only into Lebanon, but also into Syria to take out Hezbollah and other Iranian proxy positions.
And I wouldn't be surprised, Alex, if Israel also undertook operations as far as the Persian Gulf to take out Iranian naval assets and even their air assets.
Because if Iran is behind this attack, then Israel, as I said, would be completely justified in launching such operations.
We in the United States would do precisely that.
Got to tell you, Jeremy, what you are laying out as possible, it is an all-out Middle East war.
Is this scenario something that you can see playing out in the near future?
I can.
I mean, I think Israel's calculus is going to be... Israel is on the path to some very significant diplomatic breakthroughs here with the Saudis.
And if they can get assurances from the United States and the Saudis and the Emiratis and other Gulf countries that Israel is going to be able to make peace and have normalization and that's going to continue and that these military operations are not going to affect that, then I think Israel is going to go very far in conducting those military operations.
If Hamas succeeds and they in some ways thwart the diplomatic efforts, then it's going to have to be sequenced.
Israel is going to first have to deal with the terrorists, first have to deal with Iran, first have to deal with the threats to its citizenry and its borders, and then pursue peace and normalization in sequence.
But this is going to be Israel's play to call, and I think the United States is going to stand foursquare behind Israel, which is what you've heard so far from the President.
From the Secretary of State and every other senior Biden administration official.
And by the way, this is bipartisan.
You see it on Capitol Hill as well.
There's bipartisan support for Israel at this hour as there should be.
We need Kevin McCarthy back in the speakership right now.
We need to get that vote done this week.
And on the Democrat side, I don't know if we'll get our crazy eight back in line or not, but on the Democrat side, when we have that vote, anyone who is a friend of Israel needs to go have a tea party or vote present and let Kevin McCarthy get back in the speakership chair right now.
Because, Congressman, there's nothing the House can do until they elect a speaker.
steve doocy
And I was talking to somebody on Capitol Hill yesterday, and they said, essentially, that, you know, given this timing, it's impossible for the House to authorize emergency funding to Israel because you can't run anything.
unidentified
Exactly.
They're going to run out of ordinance and we're not going to be able to authorize the funding to get them the weapons and the defense they need.
We have one of our strongest allies in the world under attack and we are dilly-dallying around with a leadership struggle in the House that should never have occurred.
Kevin McCarthy should never have been ousted.
He has led through some of the most bipartisan, constructive legislation that's happened in the House for years.
And he's an excellent speaker.
We need to get him back.
And the Democrats need to look at, you know, I don't blame him.
If the party wants to tear itself apart, let them.
But in this situation right now, we need the Democrats' help.
Just a few of them need to take a walk while we elect Kevin McCarthy back into the speakership.
steve bannon
Monday, 9 October, Year of Our Lord 2023.
Okay, we're in the middle of it now.
And MAGA, who removed Kevin McCarthy last week, you're going to have a lot of work to do this week.
And you're going to be demonized in doing this work because you're the conscience of this nation.
And that your sons and daughters, remember, are going to be called to die on these foreign battlefields.
So I want everybody to take a gut check here.
Let me pause it.
I'm going to bring in my guests in a second, but I just want to make sure everybody, let's start here.
And I think Jack Posobiec's Twitter feed may be the best place to go.
And if Grace Chong and Captain Bannock can make sure that the entire, and Carly Bonet, if people can make sure that Jack's Twitter feed, and his Twitter feed is good because he's got a lot of the horrific footage.
We tried to play a little bit of it at the start.
Most of this you can't even play on streaming services.
The footage coming out of what Hamas did to these young people, what they did to the civilians, to the families, is clearly barbaric.
There's no doubt about that.
To the rave, you know, the Burning Man situation they had down by Gaza on one of the borders in the southern part of Israel.
and then throughout the capturing going house-to-house burning people out shooting children uh... it's it's horrific so let's put a pin in that it is absolutely horrific and it shows you uh... and if you saw the footage of the young girls bodies all these bodies and how they were how the bodies were desecrated make sure you embrace that they'll show you what the world is up against that being said
This really needs to be thought through, and all you've got is the warmongers, the war munitions makers.
The war profiteers are having a great weekend because they think, hey, we're going to get into a third world war, you get all these Republican congressmen.
I want to finish.
That was just one of many.
We have to get Kevin McCarthy back so that we can send more money to Israel immediately.
First off, that's just nonsense.
The Senate's not around.
First off, it's not going to happen.
And the number one priority, the number one priority more than ever right now, our number one priority Is the southern border of the United States of America, particularly, uh, who and what has come up through there.
I wish I saw these Republican congressmen, you know, and senators from Tom Cotton to, uh, to, um, uh, to Crenshaw, to all of them.
uh... they have a much anger is much focus on the invasion of the united states of america with sixty eight million illegal alien invaders in this country hundreds of thousands hundreds of thousands of combat age uh... men i mean divisions in divisions and divisions and you see what's going on with what hamas is doing in uh... in uh... in uh... in israel just stand by for that to happen in the united states of america
This has got to be the defense of this nation is of paramount importance.
And number two, the other national security crisis we have is the debt.
There's a lot of stuff going on Wall Street today.
Markets going through meltdown.
I'm honored to have Cash here.
Cash, we've only got about a minute and a half.
I want to make sure we start by reading your piece In Gateway Pundit, it's about the Biden administration missing the beginning of World War III.
What did you mean by that?
kash patel
Yeah, and it's a piece that the mainstream media didn't want to run with because it contradicts the defense industrial complex narrative.
We'll get into all that, but the main genesis of the piece is, how did we miss it?
How does the best intelligence infrastructure in the world miss it?
And this is where I get into an argument with a lot of the folks even on our side of the aisle.
They think, oh, they had it and just decided not to do anything.
That reality is way worse.
What happens is in the national intelligence infrastructure is you have to set priorities.
President Trump set priorities.
unidentified
Yes.
kash patel
What are we going to do?
We're going to kill terrorists.
We're going to go after al Qaeda.
We're going to go after ISIS.
We're going to take on Iran and make sure they don't get a nuclear weapon.
steve bannon
Look, under Trump, you had peace.
Bibi is just, actually has just announced, remember they have a, Gaza is besieged right now.
They've cut off electricity.
The IDF has cut off water.
They've cut off food.
They've been doing airstrikes.
Just announced, coming across the wire, Bibi has told Joe Biden they're going in for a ground operation into Gaza.
unidentified
So stand by.
steve bannon
We're going to take a short commercial break.
The question is, How did, you know, you got Brennan lecturing you all the time, how did the CIA, the Mossad, and really the best is the IDFs, the Israeli Defense Forces Intelligence Apparatus, their equivalent of DIA, how did they, this thing took a year to plan.
kash patel
They weren't looking.
It's scary, I'll tell you why.
unidentified
The commitment has to have conditions upon it.
steve bannon
That condition is, we can't get into an unconditional land war in the Middle East right now.
Cannot happen.
Short break, back in a moment.
unidentified
Here in your mind has been how could this have happened?
jonathan lemire
Israel has perhaps the world's preeminent intelligence operation.
unidentified
Their forces are, they're charged with preventing something exactly like this from ever occurring.
What is your sense as to how they got caught so badly off guard Saturday morning?
So, John, I'm just struck, as I think we all are, by the scope and horror of this.
Listening to the Israeli military spokesman a moment ago saying every family has been touched.
Last night, his counterpart, another spokesman, said this is the worst day in Israeli history.
How could that have happened?
What went wrong?
What was the failure of intelligence?
And as I wrote in a column last night, it wasn't simply a failure of gathering the right information, but I think of understanding that information.
People have likened this terrible event to 9-11 in the United States, the 2001 attacks by Al-Qaeda.
Americans never imagined that Al-Qaeda could seize airplanes and use them as weapons to attack buildings.
And I think Israelis may never have imagined that their adversaries in Gaza, the Hamas fighters, the terrorist in this case, could use paragliders to fly into Israel, could move so quickly, a thousand of them.
steve bannon
I can't take any more of this.
We're going to make sure, I will commit to you We will not let the typical spin and content and lies just go on and on and on.
The Israelis are calling this a combination of Pearl Harbor and 9-11.
We still don't have the truth on Pearl Harbor or 9-11.
unidentified
Let me just be blunt about that.
steve bannon
And I've gone through every document, every commission, I think they had six or seven on Pearl Harbor.
This is of utmost importance to this audience.
You are the rising political power in this nation.
You're the conscience of this nation.
You're the conscience of working class people.
You're the conscience of what has made this country great.
It is most important for you to get this right.
So, Kash Patel, and by the way, we're going to go to the border.
We're going to go to the border that we're focused on, and that's the southern border of the United States.
Ben Burquam's down there with it.
But, Kash, first off, David Ignatius, as our audience knows, is a spokesman, essentially a mouthpiece for the CIA, for the National Security Apparatus, correct?
unidentified
Yeah.
steve bannon
You've got to help me out here, brother.
IDF, the Israeli Defense Force military intelligence may be the best in the world.
We have DIA, which is the arm which is five times the size of the CIA.
IDF's intelligence operation I think is pound for pound the best in the world.
Then you have Mossad.
Then you have the CIA.
We have 17, you know, you have NSA.
It is impossible, impossible This thing, it was a military operation on land, sea, and air with 5,000 missiles, paragliders.
It's over a geographic, although Israel itself from tip to tip is about from the southern border of Virginia and North Carolina to Baltimore, right?
So it's not huge.
But given that, they were all the way from Tel Aviv to Gaza.
This took months.
The Wall Street Journal said months.
I think years of planning.
Logistics.
Recruitment.
Training.
Finance.
And, people don't talk about this, they had Palestinian journalist embeds.
There were Palestinian journalist embeds.
This was like us going into Iraq in 2003.
I shouldn't say well thought through, but a logistically thought through, where we actually had embeds.
It is impossible.
for the intelligence apparatus between the united and and not let not just that list list the saudis in ua either intelligence apparatuses work with that work with the israelis and work with the united states it couldn't have happened it's impossible for it to happen sir now it's not So it's not impossible.
kash patel
It's and it's not a miss.
That's that's a mainstream media sort of slapstick title.
Here's what happens in the intelligence community.
Yeah, I agree with you everything you said about the talent and quality and nature of us and Israel and everybody else and When you have an intelligence community that is directed at the single mission set of protecting America against terrorists, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Iran, nuclear weapons, then you collect on that information.
Remember, as good as we are, we only have so much bandwidth.
And what I talk about in the op-ed is this thing called the National Intelligence Priority Framework, the NIPIF.
It's pretty simple.
The document itself is classified, but this isn't rocket science.
If you have the ability to direct your intelligence community against the threats we just outlined, like we did in the President Trump administration, then your full machinery, your full manning, and your full money go to those threats and those lines of efforts.
But if you force, by presidential edict, The intelligence community and the National Intelligence Priority Framework to shift to, I'm not kidding, climate change.
If you force it to shift to challenge and take on Trump supporters and domestic violent terrorists, then you, by law, are shifting the behemoth away from that azimuth and putting it over here.
So it's an intentional decision that caused our resources to be diverted to satisfy a radical left-wing agenda.
And I'll give you the best example I can give you.
The first concept of operations, the first CAN plan distributed by the Biden DOD under Secretary Austin, the very first one out of the gate.
And what that is, is just how the DOD operates its priorities.
The first one for DOD?
Climate change.
The Department of Defense was instructed by Biden to make that the priority.
steve bannon
For purpose of this discussion, let's say I agree with you.
And it was a major shift between looking for MAGA and climate change.
In the IDF, they have three existential threats.
Hezbollah to the north, Hamas to the south, and the Persians who both Hamas and Hezbollah report to and are funded by.
My point again, even with the lack of focus and misdirection and the weakness of the Biden regime, and that is unquestioned, Still, people in the IDF and Mossad and elements of the CIA and NSA that deal in that area could not have missed something of this scale.
This is not a terrorist attack.
This is not the typical thing you see in Gaza.
This was an air, sea, land, military operation, highly coordinated, with planning, logistics, finance, recruitment, training, Their first hit was flawless.
And they had Palestinian journalists as embeds.
People in the radical media architecture of that knew it.
Ergo, and the Wall Street Journal even reports that the Persians spent weeks, if not months, playing it.
I happen to think it's longer than that, a year.
In all of that, it could not have been missed.
It's impossible to miss that.
kash patel
We're saying the same thing.
I'm not saying it's just a miss.
That's what I'm saying.
It's not.
The ground pounders, our guys and gals that have been taking on that threat, saw and detected it.
I'm sure just like the IDF, though I don't have much fidelity to them.
And someone in between them and the top said no.
This is not our priority mission set.
I don't care what intelligence you've brought me, we are to go away.
steve bannon
Are you telling me you think they brought the intelligence and they said because it's not climate change, we're not going to look at it?
You had Jeremy Bash, who was chief of staff over at the CIA.
I'm going to play this Bash thing later.
That's the mindset that's in this town right now.
What he laid out, and even Alex Witt was in shock.
She goes, ba-dee-ba-dee-ba-dee.
You're talking about a full-scale, massive Middle East war.
Including naval assets, going after naval assets of the Persians in the Persian Gulf and in the North Arabian Sea, of which, as a young naval officer, I was there the last time the Persians grabbed the hostages, right?
Was it 79?
unidentified
79.
steve bannon
I was there with a carrier strike force in Gonzo Station and Camel Station.
kash patel
Yeah, this is what happens when you combine the failure of the prioritization of the intelligence apparatus with people at the top, government gangsters who want to shift... Forget the Biden's incompetent, and Blinken's incompetent, and these guys are going to be fired.
steve bannon
They ought to be having fricking hearings right now.
Forget Kevin McCarthy.
Have the hearings right now of the incompetence of this thing.
Did the IDF during this Bibi fiasco with the justices six weeks ago, didn't they sign a letter or something saying they weren't going to support Bibi if the country had passed these laws?
And I hate to say it, but I think we've got to ask tough questions.
Is the Israeli Defense Force, which has always been the best of the best.
Remember, we're on the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, where they were caught by surprise.
But there, they knew about the build-up.
They didn't know when the strike was going to come.
Here, they didn't know anything.
Because they say, in their own words, it's Pearl Harbor and 9-11 combined.
kash patel
Which means they didn't know anything.
steve bannon
Which means, is IDF up to the task?
I mean, we're talking about a Syria Hezbollah in Lebanon, take on the Persians in a land war, go after naval assets, Jeremy Bashian going after naval assets, is IDF up to the task?
kash patel
It seems like they haven't been, and there's one thing we're missing out of all of this, and this is the thing I hate to admit.
Hamas is funded and trained by Iran, the IRGC and the Quds Force, and as much as I hate those guys and they are our number one enemies, they are supremely good at what they do.
steve bannon
Is Hezbollah not the best paramilitary land army in the world right now?
kash patel
Yeah, funded and trained by the Iranians.
unidentified
Exactly.
kash patel
Same with Hamas.
steve bannon
No, this is a proxy war with Persia.
This is why the Chinese Communist Party, Schumer's over there saying, I'm very disappointed that the Chinese, it's their partner.
kash patel
Yeah.
steve bannon
The way to stop this is to get to Beijing and say, hey, any more of this, you shut down the Mullahs right now.
If this thing expands because CCP wants this, because Taiwan's sitting right there.
We're occupied in Ukraine.
We're occupied in now in Israel, in the Middle East.
They're going to say, hey, we got the Americans sucked back in to an open-ended, unconditional commitment Ground war in the Middle East.
unidentified
Boom!
steve bannon
Taiwan.
kash patel
Yeah, I agree.
The CCP is in bed with the Iranians.
They are paying for it.
Partners.
The oil.
Because it's against American interests.
And you brought up the Mideast partners.
But here's the kicker, right?
The Mideast partners that we're supposed to have have already issued statements from their foreign ministries supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and peace in the Palestine.
So this is why it's a quagmire.
steve bannon
The Republican congressman should not be running up here talking this nonsense right now.
This needs to be very thought through.
We're going to be in another Iraq-Afghanistan 20-year war, 10,000 combat casualties, 50,000 wounded, PTSD everywhere.
Ain't going to happen.
MAGA's going to make the decision on this.
Short break.
We're going to the border, the one we care about, on the southern United States next.
unidentified
War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Batt.
steve bannon
By the way, is that true?
Cash Patel, Fox won't have you on.
kash patel
Fox Primetime hasn't had me on.
steve bannon
You're the National Security Advisor to President Trump.
kash patel
I haven't been on Fox Primetime in 13 months and counting.
steve bannon
Unbelievable.
Folks, this is quite complicated.
Once again, we need everybody to go to Posobiec and Grace and Mo, if you can put it up to, with Posobiec's help.
The footage, you have to see the raw footage.
You must see the raw footage, even on a streaming service.
And Jane Zirkle, if maybe on the, we do the email today, Grace, I'm doing some producing here, what we do with Jane Zirkle and Mo, and Grace can work at me, we put some on our afternoon newsletter.
To understand what we're up against, you have to see the footage of what happened to women and children.
It's absolutely brutal.
It's heart rendering.
That being said, we have to be, we have to be cool customers here.
Because I'm telling you, this is what happens in every war.
This is what's happening in Ukraine.
This is what happened in the American Civil War.
Once it starts happening, you get sucked into this maelstrom.
of attrition.
One side ups the ante and the other side comes back.
And you're talking, what Jeremy Basher is talking about, a full-scale, all-in, Middle East war.
And our great allies, Saudi Arabia and UAE, all of them, coming in on the side of the Persians and Hamas.
Let's be, let's be, the Muslim Brotherhood all coming together.
Outrageous.
Let's go to the southern border.
And Cash has got some very specific things to talk to us about the southern border.
I want to go to Burquam first.
Burquam, you've been down there.
This is the existential national security issue for the United States of America, is the invasion on our southern border.
Ben Burquam.
ben bergquam
Yeah, Steve, I want to start by talking about where I'm at.
But before I go there, just one comment to make about the mainstream media.
And I don't know if he...
Steve, can you hear me?
steve bannon
Okay, hang on for a second.
We'll get it.
We'll work all that out.
It's gonna be great when we get it.
kash patel
Well, while he's down there, look, here's the reality of what the Mayorkas DHS admit alone.
They detected that two dozen known terrorist affiliates had illegally crossed into the country from the southern border.
And here's the scarier part.
They don't know where they are today.
That is who they know they missed.
So the question you have to ask, Steve, is how many hundreds, if not thousands, of cartel members and terrorists and terrorist allies and CCP affiliates infiltrated through the southern border because they're coming in at the rate of what, 21,000 a month that the US does not know about.
And Joe Biden wants to give them ID cards so they can come in.
steve bannon
21,000 a month.
We had 260,000.
kash patel
Sorry.
steve bannon
260,000.
That would be 26 combat divisions of what we know.
There's another 100,000, another 10 combat divisions of gotaways.
The scale of this is so overwhelming.
And the IG just said, we don't keep, we don't track them.
kash patel
We don't.
And, and that's, and it goes back to the question we were talking about earlier.
unidentified
Here's my point, but I'm going to cash in a couple.
steve bannon
That's why I need everybody in this audience to see the footage.
We can't play all the footage, it's too horrific, even on a streaming service.
Everybody in the audience, every adult, this is not for children, every adult should take some time today to see the footage of what these animals did to the people in Israel.
And these are just, and these are just, you know, these are women, these are families, they're shooting children, the girls.
Okay?
That's gonna happen in the United States of America.
That day is coming.
Write that down.
That day is coming.
Because of what we're allowing to happen on the southern border.
kash patel
No, you're absolutely right.
I mean, just think about it.
Do the math.
They admitted to us they have two dozen terrorists here in America they can't track.
220,000 a month?
What if 1% of those individuals were affiliated- 1% with criminal organizations that we know of, with cartels that we know of, with foreign terrorist organizations that we know of, and they are in and around America and have been moving in and around America for two plus months with CCP funding, Iranian support, Mideast terrorist organization financing, all to do one thing.
Establish sleeper cells in the U.S.
and wait for the right time to do this to us.
steve bannon
That's why this is- Okay, as I've said for years now, you know, Beijing, Tehran, and the KGB, those are three parts.
And let's throw Erdogan in there, Pakistan, you got a bunch of other side players.
But the three powers, the three powers, that's the new axis.
It's the CCP, not the Chinese people, the CCP, the Mullahs, and the KGB.
The Persian people, probably two-thirds of them don't want to do this.
They understand they're going to be slaughtered like they were in the Iraq war.
The Russian people definitely don't want this, but we're dealing with, as Cash's book Says so succinctly, government gangsters.
Now he happens to be talking about the gangsters running the apparatus in the United States of America.
But government gangsters, the mullahs in Tehran, the CCP in Beijing, the KGB in Moscow, are just criminal gangs that are running this and that's why the cartels are their partners.
That's why the whole fentanyl.
Fentanyl is nothing but a chemical war attack That's a reverse opium war.
What the British did to them, they're doing to us.
kash patel
And you referenced Afghanistan.
I'm talking about the drug trade, opium, fentanyl.
That was their leading insurgency campaign.
The difference between Afghanistan and this, Iran has nuclear power capabilities.
And we don't know because Joe Biden bent the knee, sent them six billion, and the Iranian regime kicked out all UN inspectors.
Not that they were ever that good, but now we have zero visibility into their nuclear arsenal.
That is the difference.
We knew Afghanistan didn't have a nuclear deterrent, but see, the CCP's got one, Russia's got one, and Iran's got one.
And now they are gearing it up full speed with government funding for the United States government gangsters.
steve bannon
Hang on for one second.
Let's go to Burquam on the border.
Ben, this is the border that we're most concerned about.
The invasion of the United States of America.
Folks, just think about it.
It's 6 to 8 million people minimum.
Are we insane?
Has any country on earth ever allowed this to happen?
Burquam.
ben bergquam
It's well over that.
Yeah, it's well over that, Steve.
I've got two points I want to make before I get to that.
That mainstream media clown who tried to make a distinction between Hamas fighters and Hamas terrorists.
There is no distinction.
They are one in the same.
They are all terrorists.
And that's what we're dealing with.
And the sad thing is, in Washington, D.C., they are supporting the terrorists.
We have terrorists in Washington, D.C. that support the terrorists in the Middle East that are inviting terrorists into America.
I want to show you this real quick.
I'm going to start with the salt in the wound.
So I'm at the Pedwest Port of Entry in San Ysidro, California.
It's closed off, closed, cerrado.
You can't go in here.
It's secured by the National Homeland Security.
But we've got a bus lined up.
You can see the headlights of that bus right there.
That bus is picking up CBP-1 applicants.
Right over here we've got a bus stop.
We've got this little gray door you can see in the distance there.
That's where they sneak them out.
This whole place is closed down only...
The real threat was what I saw yesterday, and I want to play some of this footage.
close down for Mexican citizens coming to America. This is only being used for CBP-1 illegal entry into America. Now, that's salt in the wound.
The real threat was what I saw yesterday and I want to play some of this footage. I went back to Lukeville, Arizona and what I saw should shock every single American.
As soon as I got there, there was a tent of 150 fighting-age men, mostly from West Africa, Muslim countries in Africa, the Middle East, and India.
And what they told me is that they actually, the new place that they're getting all of these people from, right here, you can see the footage right there on the screen, those tents That was yesterday, and this is happening every single day.
150 of them.
They said they had over 500 yesterday alone in that one location.
500.
And what scared me... Now, I went up.
The Border Patrol, you could tell, was so frustrated.
They wanted me to get in there and film it and show you close up.
As soon as I did that, at the end of this video, I had a guy come out from National Park, said, I couldn't be that close.
I couldn't film this.
I had to go across the street.
And our own National Park, our National Monument down there, This is what's coming into America.
But the scariest part, Border Patrol came up to me and he said, you need to know and you need to report this.
We're getting huge numbers from Syria right now.
And if we can show the picture, they sent me a picture of one of the guys from Syria.
If we can show that picture of the guy.
This guy just came across our southern border.
steve bannon
This is just one.
Just hang on.
Yeah, just hang on.
Okay, Kash.
Syria's coming across, Hamas is coming across, Hezbollah's coming across, you got Benz reporting.
The Chinese Communist Party, I've heard from intelligence sources, not totally confirmed, 100,000 fighting-age men over the last year and a half, two years.
kash patel
Yeah.
unidentified
Right.
kash patel
Do the math.
Do the math, right?
When you have two point plus million people coming in, a hundred thousand isn't that big of a number, right?
Do the math.
And when you have America's enemies combining together, Syria, the Mullahs, as you said, KGB, the CCP, and other terrorist organizations, along with the Mexican drug cartels who are hosting them at the southern border, of course they're coming in because they are reaching one common goal, the destruction of the United States of America.
And the thing about these terrorists is they have no timeline.
They have incredible patience.
We've seen that with Al Qaeda before.
They will wait 20 years and launch the one strike at the one appropriate time, and then they will go fight a 20-year war, which we will bend the knee on, and they will do it again.
And we're seeing the results of that in Israel with their number one partner.
And everybody keeps asking me, how did the IDF miss this?
Because they are not that big of a force, and they are going against this entire machine that you just laid out, of course it's possible for these terrorists to come in and lay siege.
steve bannon
We argued about de-escalation.
We were right 100% on Ukraine.
We argued for de-escalation immediately in Ukraine.
Now in a year and a half later, everybody understands.
Michael Hanlon from Brookings has an absurd strategy paper in the Hill today.
I'll get to that later.
We are de-escalation.
kash patel
This situation right now, they're going to go into Gaza with ground, but that's only going to cause, I mean, it's going to be, they're going to drop the hammer, but it's going to cause- And it's a mistake to send in special forces from America and right now we don't have any idea of the preparation of the landscape.
And watch it, they're going to call for it.
The Defense Industrial Complex and Biden's DOD is going to come in and say, oh, SF guys are ready to go.
Those are my guys that we should work with.
steve bannon
You mean for hostage rescue?
kash patel
But we don't have the intelligence infrastructure in place to go in and get after it.
As good as those guys are, and those are my dudes, we don't have the ground-level game to go in and execute it.
steve bannon
No American combat troops.
None.
None.
They're gonna want the Americans to do airstrikes here.
You watch.
We must immediately bang the heads in Beijing and say, stand down the mullahs.
We gotta put Saudi on notice.
Look, you don't stand up here, Maybe you're not a protector of the United States anymore, and maybe that oil's gotta be put in some sort of trust, right?
The royal family there's gotta be, somebody's gotta give it to them with both barrels.
Say, we're tired of this.
We're tired of the double-dealing.
We're tired of Qatar.
We're tired of the double-dealing there.
We're getting double-dealt everywhere in the Middle East, and we're getting sucked into a massive land war that who knows if we can even win now?
Right?
With our resources stretched.
And remember, the CCP wants this because they want the eye off of Taiwan.
They want the eye off of Taiwan.
And this is playing out perfectly.
You got an evasion on the American southern border that the Biden administration exacerbates.
Now you've got now you've started this in in around Israel.
And this is why, hey, the thing this weekend is a shocker to people saying, is the IDF too woke?
I mean, this whole thing with Bibi and you see this whole, the whole country is, Tel Aviv's like South Beach, right?
I mean, is Israel gotten too woke?
Is Israel the same Israel of 1967 when they took on everybody?
Is it like Israel in 1973 and Yom Kippur War where they were overwhelmed and they punched back and won?
Right.
I mean, this is you got to ask these tough questions that we're going to get sucked in.
We're going to get sucked into this quickly.
And if these nut cases up here on Capitol Hill, that guy at the beginning from California, it's a Republican congressman.
We need Kevin McCarthy back today so we can start giving aid to the Israelis.
The House has nothing to do with it right now.
And the Senate's out of town.
This is all about Biden.
And we shouldn't be shifting There's people say, oh, maybe we shift the money out of Ukraine.
Hey, there's no more money for Ukraine.
Ukraine money is zero.
We have to put in the guys run in Scalise, right?
And Jordan is sitting there going, I'm open to Ukraine funding.
I'm open to no motion to vacate?
Absolutely not.
Still motion to vacate?
One vote.
Zero money for Ukraine.
What you need to focus on is where Ben Burquam is, is the southern border of this country.
Watch those videos of what happened in Israel to the women and the children and the young people.
That is coming to the United States of America, as sure as the turning of the earth.
Because we've let the radicals in this country, in the administrative state in this country, allow it to happen and exacerbate it.
unidentified
Short break.
steve bannon
Cash is with us.
unidentified
then burk one's on the border back in a moment future steven okay uh...
steve bannon
we haven't even gotten to the financial first terms car I'm going to get in that second hour, but here's what you do.
Go to birchgold.com slash abandon right now.
End of the dollar empire.
Third installment, the debt trap.
Embrace it.
Fourth installment just came out, the assassination of American prosperity about going off the gold standard over a weekend at Camp David with Richard Nixon and his team.
unidentified
Check it out.
steve bannon
Look at the charts, too, of what's happened to American prosperity for working class and middle class people since an 87% drop in the purchasing power of the United States Federal Reserve note.
Check it out.
Ask the team when you're there at birchgold.com slash Bannon.
Ask Philip Patrick and the team one question.
Why is the Federal Reserve spending all the time on a central bank digital currency and printing money on this fiscal irresponsibility here in the nation's capital?
In the BRICS, particularly, I hate to say this, if you look at what's happened over the weekend, that certainly has got a BRICS-like feel to it coming together of an alliance, a new axis, right?
They're de-dollarizing.
They're de-dollarizing.
Check it out.
Ask what that means for you and your financial security.
Cash is going to stay with you for a few more minutes.
Ben Burquam's got to get down into Mexico.
Ben, observations.
This is the border we care about, Burquam.
Michael Yan.
uh... and vander steele oscar blue ramirez yourself and burk one others have done amazing reporting from the daring gap all the way up over the last couple years what it uh... it in my two over the top saying that what happened in uh...
ben bergquam
in israel over this weekend is coming to the united states are no no steve you are right on the money and and cash is put to cash is point uh... the traders in washington dc have prioritized America's defeat, and they've done the same apparently with our allies.
That's what we're seeing.
We're seeing the destruction of the West, and we're seeing that in Israel, but that is coming to our doorstep.
That's the main point of all of this.
As Cash said, we have 200 terrorists that we let go.
We don't know where they are.
We have potentially thousands more.
We have no clue where they are.
There are sleeper cells in America right now that are planning very similar style attacks on America, and they're just biding their time.
That is coming to our shores because of the... It's not just ineptitude.
It's because of treasonous behavior.
These guys have taken homeland security, In this case, and turned it into an illegal immigration factory.
That's what they're doing right here.
They're inviting in our enemies.
That's the reality and that's the point Americans need to know.
steve bannon
Brett, Ben, right before you go, just that facility you're outside of.
They're processing non-stop, every day, and to get them to ship these illegal aliens, invaders, into our country as deep as possible, spending no focus whatsoever on fentanyl.
Fentanyl is a chemical warfare attack on the United States of America.
COVID-19 was a biological weapon attack on the United States of America.
The Chinese Communist Party plays for keeps, and they play smash mouth.
And they are just as much, what happened in Israel, and Bibi was rubbing up on them.
Bibi's out there sucking up to Xi and these guys.
The Chinese Communist Party and CCP are up to the neck in what they're doing with the mullahs in Tehran.
Buying their oil long-term.
Cutting these deals.
Ben, how do people get you on all your reporting?
You're going to Mexico.
You'll be on the afternoon show.
ben bergquam
Yeah, if you haven't seen my reporting over the weekend from Santa Teresa outside of El Paso and Salmon Park, New Mexico, you have to see it.
It's on all my social media.
I just posted from Lukeville yesterday.
I have a new video that's coming out from Lukeville that's going to come out today.
This stuff needs to go everywhere.
You need to tag every fake news, mainstream propaganda media out there and send it out at Ben Burquam on all my social media.
B-E-R-G-Q-U-A-M.
Reports are going up by Kerry Donovan on FrontlineAmerica.com.
And then our next episode of Law & Border is coming this Saturday on americasvoice.news, and then I'll be reporting, obviously, throughout the day on Real America's Voice News.
steve bannon
Kash Patel, your book is Government Gangsters.
We've got government gangsters in Beijing, in Tehran, in Moscow, and you've got these guys here, right?
What's the lesson?
What is your focus?
What should this MAGA posse be focused on right now?
kash patel
The mission set for government gangsters was to put the mission first and what happens when you don't.
And yes, government gangsters largely applies to the deep state entrenched class in the United States of America.
But you'd be an idiot not to see the government gangsters that are also in places like Israel when they go woke, when they put radical ideology and public political headlines ahead of the national defense of their countries.
And when you take that weakened state of Western alliances and you put them up against a lawless band of terrorists and the CCP and Russian financing, this is what you get.
So America, you have a decision.
You can either make government gangsters the number one book in the country or that ridiculous fake news hit piece from the intern from the White House.
This is the problem.
It's not just my book.
Why aren't all of the books, The Bends of the World, The Mike Davis's of the World and Company, those are the educational pieces of our time right now.
The War Room Posse has to get it out there.
Go to governmentgangsters.com or Amazon or wherever you.
New York Times just told us this week, we hit the bestseller list and they specifically said they are not going to put the book on it because they don't want to.
So, look, we're already top ten on Amazon, we hit number six on Wall Street Journal bestseller, and most importantly, President Trump called government gangsters the blueprint for 2024.
So if you don't believe me, maybe you believe him.
steve bannon
How did they get the op-ed you wrote this morning, all your other writings?
kash patel
Yeah, thanks to Gateway Pundit Jim Hoffman company for being brave enough to print that because the mainstream media refused to print that.
So go to Gateway Pundit, go to my Truth Social account at Cash at KASH.
It's the only place I exist on Truth Social on social media.
You'll see this article.
I'm going to write a follow up on what we should do next.
But America needs to realize this is not a myth.
This is an intelligence failure due to intentional action by corrupt government gangsters and that starting point must be realized by our country.
Do you think it's a coincidence that Mark Milley was on CNN or 60 Minutes this week?
This entire operation happened on the watch of the mighty Milley.
That was an intentional act.
steve bannon
Social media, of course.
kash patel
At Cash at KSH on Truth Social and governmentgangsters.com.
steve bannon
The National Security Advisor to President Donald John Trump and probably headed the CIA or National Security Advisor or the SEC now.
