Speaker Time Text
katy tur
With you, what are you going to tell him?
unidentified
Well, I have three issues that I want to know about.
I asked last night, will you unequivocally and publicly state that the 2020 presidential election was not stolen?
He didn't answer that question very clearly, and Jim Jordan didn't answer that question very clearly.
The second issue I have is, what is the spending number that we're all going to agree on?
It doesn't have to be my number, but I think if we're going to go and move forward with With appropriations bills, we need to know what that number is.
And the third question I had is, will you put Ukraine funding on the floor?
I understand that he wants to see a plan from President Biden, but even if the plan doesn't meet his expectations, will he put the vote on the floor so the rest of us can vote on that issue?
katy tur
Why don't you think they're going to commit to, I mean, the other two numbers, spending numbers has got to be negotiated, so I can understand the delay to get you that.
Ukraine funding on the floor, there's obviously so much division.
Something as simple as saying the 2020 election wasn't stolen, why don't you think either one of those gentlemen can commit to that?
unidentified
I think there is a large group of Trump followers in this country that would disagree with that and there would be a political penalty for saying such a thing.
katy tur
Essentially, since McCarthy was ousted.
unidentified
Think of this, Katie, 113 votes for Scalise in the conference, which included three delegates from U.S.
territories who are not allowed to vote on the House floor for Speaker.
On top of that, 10 votes for somebody not Sorry, eight votes from neither McCarthy or Scalise nor Jordan, goodness, and two votes present.
So Scalise's full total is really closer to 110, which is really short of a majority of the conference, and also 107 votes away from the majority on the House floor.
So this is a very long slog for Scalise to get to 217, and I'd add, Two more things.
Yes, Jim Jordan, I think that is a big moment that Jordan is getting behind him.
I think that will be helpful with some people.
We'll have to see how many people it's helpful with.
But yes, absolutely a big get for Scalise.
Number two, I think the more operative question, Katie, is not whether there will be a vote today or tomorrow.
Will there be a vote this week, to be honest with you?
I don't know the answer to that, but they're not going to go to the floor much short of 217 because they want to avoid, again, looking like clowns, disorganized clowns, and doing 10 or 12 rounds of balloting once again.
So I think that's the state of play right now.
And as you noted, Katie, this is an incredibly, incredibly tenuous time with everything that's happening in the Middle East and with the Biden administration expecting to ask, rather, Capitol Hill to spend more money in Israel.
katy tur
Approve an aid package for Israel, and will that aid package also include funding for Ukraine?
Will those two things be married, and then what will the House do?
And what will the Speaker of the House be able to do, especially if that one vote threshold still exists?
Is it still going to exist, that motion to vacate?
unidentified
Yes.
They didn't even discuss that in the meeting today.
Or they discussed it briefly.
They didn't take it on.
I'll say this though, Katie.
I don't think any aid package with Ukraine and Israel is going to pass together in the House of Representatives.
katy tur
Why don't we ask a member of the House that.
Jake Sherman, Ali Vitale, thank you for joining us.
unidentified
I'm excited for him.
Can I go vote for Steve Scalise?
katy tur
Long live Speaker Scalise!
unidentified
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I couldn't see my hand in front of my face I knew that I was buried in the deepest, darkest place The deeds I had done put me in this awful place
I knew that I was buried in the deepest, darkest place.
The deeds I had done put me in this awful place.
Then I felt a stir inside me and a smile came across my face And I said, get deep and I'm listening in front of my face.
Then I felt a stir inside me and a smile came across my face.
And I said, Get thee behind me, Satan, for I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Yeah.
Get thee behind me, Satan, for I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
Say it, Satan.
Get thee behind me, Satan, for I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Oh, get thee behind me, Satan, for I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen. Amen.
Amen.
♪♪♪
You Bye.
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
Because we're going medieval on this, 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 try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big 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.
steve bannon
It's Wednesday, 11 October, the year of our Lord.
We're here for the afternoon and early evening edition of The War Room.
And just to make sure, we're going to go to the border here momentarily.
The massive invasion of our country continues unabated.
Let's give you an update.
I gotta play that Ken Buck.
Can you pull that?
Can Denver get ready to play the opening one?
Ken Buck.
Okay.
The War Room Posse.
Everybody take a deep breath.
Get up on the ramparts.
You're winning.
Don't don't all the good info.
You got all this kind of crossfire cross chat that the the fog of war.
Remember the reason you're so powerful is that you can see through the fog of war to your task and your purpose and our objective.
Our objective is to break the cartel.
And it's not it's not any one person and it's not easy So everybody out there in the hinterland that's you know, what's a magic wand to come in?
It's all gonna be better You're living in a dreamland.
And as you know, the war room is not dreamland We're gonna take this one trench at a time Your wins today And Ken Buck just said it right there.
They wanted to have this, and hey, a number of conservatives, including, remember, there's always shifting alliances.
This is what Brian Kennedy was talking today about being a republic.
There's always shifting alliances.
Many of our colleagues and friends push for this, hoping, I guess, theoretically, that Jim Jordan was going to get it or somehow, some convoluted way, a thing like that.
So that people could hide their Trump votes.
I think that's their logic.
That is the exact opposite logic.
What you need to do is expose the never-Trumpers.
What's happening in Park City, Utah, even as we speak?
In Park City, Utah, Nikki Haley's out there.
She's the new Ron DeSantis.
You've got Paul Ryan and Mittens Romney.
Mittens is there.
And they're having a two-day conference.
And this two-day conference with all big fat cat donors.
Big fat cat donors, by the way, their advisors should write this down on number two pencil.
All your taxes are going to rise dramatically.
Because, uh, you're anti-American.
Just are.
You're for yourself and not for this country.
And people are tired of it.
But anyway, I digress.
They're out there with Nikki.
She's the new Joan of Arc, right?
So they're all over Nikki.
And of course, this coming weekend is the Red Vest Movement in Virginia Beach, Virginia at the famous Cavalier Hotel.
And the donors there are some of the biggest power players In all politics.
And this is all to prep for, um, uh, Youngkin when, when he, when he, you know, if they take the Senate, he's going to be the new second coming.
He's going to defeat Trump.
They're going to get in back of that.
Since DeSantis has not worked out for him.
And, uh, and Nikki Haley, and of course, Tim Scott, all of them.
That ties directly back here to Capitol Hill.
This party, and if you think about it, my beloved South, If you look at these folks that vote for the cartel and bloc, and Scalise is the southern bloc, that's why he got that vote today.
Jake Sherman brings up the point, there wasn't 113 votes, he got 110.
Three of them are from the territories that actually can't vote on the floor.
Yep, just saying.
So, they had to vote so they could do all their stuff in private, and they wanted to continue that.
We were saying, no, no, no, no, we don't care how this turns out.
But this is a process.
We want it all open.
We want the war room posse to be a part of it.
We want to see it all.
Hey, oh, it's going to be so messy, so chaotic.
What's the world supposed to think?
The world's supposed to think this is democracy.
And that we're fighting for two things that are paramount, above all.
And it's not Ukraine, it's not Israel.
It's this debt that's crushing our nation and the invasion of the United States of America.
Yes, we have support for Israel and we're going to be there, but we got to think it through.
Their government fell today, as I told you it would.
They had opposition, Benny Gantz and his former IDF general, and quite a progressive who's been at, you know, been at, he and Netanyahu have been back and forth for years.
Reliable sources tell me also, I don't know how to say this politely, so I'll just say it, that one of the reasons that it's so vitriolic in Jerusalem and in Tel Aviv, so vitriolic against each other with this, you saw this situation a couple of weeks ago about the changing of the court and Netanyahu taking a more conservative block and of course all the progressive left is all over and every day riots in the street.
IDF came out and it was the IDF.
It wasn't individual.
IDF comes out, oh we stand with the opposition.
You know, it's like Milley saying that Trump was not the commander-in-chief.
That one of the reasons, one of the key reasons they weren't on top of this, they might have had intelligence services spying on each other more than they were focused on the problem.
This is my point.
This is quite dysfunctional.
And if we step in, we have to do it as a partner that helps them to achieve their objectives.
Not just to run around, because right now they're flapping around.
We have to be there to help them, not to exacerbate a horrible situation.
That was brought about.
Not just, you know, Hamas' animals.
I got that.
They didn't become animals on the morning of the 8th when they were paragliding in.
They were animals a long time before that.
It's how did this happen?
How did you let the animals loose inside the house?
How'd that happen?
We have to know that.
And have to know it can't happen if you're gonna take on Hezbollah, if you're gonna take on Persia, if you're gonna take on these others.
Gotta be a conversation.
This is not unconditional.
Just not.
Can't be.
It's too, it's too, it could blow up over there.
Ken Buck said it, but today, so Scalise comes out, his number one thing, you gotta put a, you gotta get a speaker immediately, urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, why he has to put out a proclamation that we support Israel for standing up for itself.
No, no, no, sir.
That's important, but that's not your number one priority.
Your number one priority is to this country and the citizens of this country.
That's what you guys, that's what the cartel continues to forget.
We don't care how long this speaker process takes as long as it's not a cartel member.
Scalise is the junior varsity version of the McCarthy cartel system.
So people say, well, Steve, is all this work?
Look, you've got to chip away at this thing one at a time.
You've got to take it apart brick by brick.
Scalise, as bad as they are, is an improvement on McCarthy.
But right now, because we stopped the second part of this, he didn't have the votes.
People started coming forward and saying, hey, I'm not going to vote for him.
They were trying to rush through a speaker vote this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
It didn't happen.
And here's what they're doing now.
There's blood all over the floor.
They are absolutely stabbing each other non-stop, the cartel members and anti-cartel members.
Why?
Because they know this is all going to be public.
They can't hide from it anymore.
You are going to be the judge.
You're going to sit there and weigh and measure.
One thing I promised you...
The mask will come off and you will actually see who you're governed by.
Right?
If you want a friend in this town, get a dog.
Or if you're a cat person, get a cat.
Because, hey, this is not, this is a town without pity.
A town without pity.
The knives are out now in the fight for the speakership.
We're going to get into that in the next two hours.
Also going to go to the border.
We've got Todd Bensman, who's the expert.
There's a fifth column in this country.
The problem, the fifth column, Maybe millions of people, millions of invaders.
We've done it to ourselves.
Once an eagle, what's the saying?
Once an eagle stricken by an arrow said, by my own hand I am smitten.
Todd Bensman, the border next.
unidentified
next.
I asked last night, will you unequivocally and publicly state that the 2020 presidential election was not stolen?
He didn't answer that question very clearly, and Jim Jordan didn't answer that question very clearly.
The second issue I have is, what is the spending number that we're all going to agree on?
It doesn't have to be my number, but I think if we're going to go and move forward with With appropriations bills, we need to know what that number is.
And the third question I had is, will you put Ukraine funding on the floor?
I understand that he wants to see a plan from President Biden, but even if the plan doesn't meet his expectations, will he put the vote on the floor so the rest of us can vote on that issue?
katy tur
Why don't you think they're going to commit to, I mean, the other two numbers, spending numbers has got to be negotiated, so I can understand the delay to get you back.
steve bannon
You can't put Ken Buck, and look, Ken Buck is an acquired taste.
He's very tough on some things and not great on others.
It's a great question, too.
Very simple.
The 2020 election was stolen by the illegitimate Biden regime.
Stolen elections have consequences, and stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.
The catastrophic consequences visited on this republic, the railhead of that, is the illegitimate Biden regime.
Now, the deep state and the administrative state, all of it goes much, goes deeper back many decades.
But the current version of this that is taking us from managed decline by our leads to an absolute bottom falling out implosion is the illegitimate regime that the administrative state put in place.
It's obvious on the obvious to anybody with eyes to see particularly the international community knows exactly what's going on.
Ken Buck put that to both Scalise and Jordan, and they didn't answer.
Scalise and Jordan, neither one of them came up with anything at all about really cutting spending, a spending plan.
Jordan had this convoluted, longer CR that kicks us into January.
I think it's the reason he lost.
I think it's the reason he lost.
You gotta step up here.
unidentified
202-225-3121.
steve bannon
202-225-3121. And Scalise is just a just another version, a lighter version of McCarthy. But for folks at home, the way the Republicans work, it's always next man up.
That's basically the knee-jerk reaction.
Next man up.
So Scalise, and he didn't, he only got 110, he only got 110 votes to get up there, and they couldn't do it this afternoon.
That got blown out.
Now it's all got to be public.
All the votes got to be recorded.
You're going to see the unmasking of everybody's going to come off.
And we're going to have to get some deals here.
Where's the deal package that McCarthy had back in January?
Where's that deal package?
Let's get it up here.
No way we're backing off a motion to vacate.
One person motioning to vacate.
You can't trust these people.
They're not trustworthy.
You're going to have to put a gun to their head and say, okay, go ahead, have it.
The knives are out all over.
Ploko's, I think Ploko's got a story.
They're all running for junior offices because with Scalise moving up, technically all the other offices are open.
Now, they're going to have some long, sad faces if he doesn't get traction in the next 24 hours.
If you're not a Scalise fan, or you think you've got another alternative, or just, hey, a couple of days of slugging this out is actually healthy.
Remember, the media is going to sit there, Fox News is going to say, oh, it's chaos.
No, this is called democracy.
We're fighting for important things.
And there's just not people who are just not going to sit there and have a group hug and say, oh, this is terrific.
unidentified
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
steve bannon
Jeff Rainford is going to join us here in a second.
Todd Bensman, they're down at the border.
Jeff's in Lukeville, Arizona.
The photos he has are every bit as chilling as Ben Burquam of the invasion of our country.
Our country's being invaded.
We have 8 to 10 million illegal alien invaders in this nation right now because of Joe Biden, just on his watch.
And for all of you that hated Trump's tweets and can't stand the sound of Trump's name and all that, This is what's happened with the economy with the bottom falling out of the economy.
I'm gonna go to and so this this fight up here is a big fight, but you're right one.
We got the secrecy.
They want to do in the secrecy for a couple of days.
They're just gonna sit there behind closed doors.
You would have never known what's going on.
Then they could have come on spun you any way possible.
Can't do it now.
Can't do it now.
The other thing to also remember McCarthy's not dead.
This like a vampire movie.
No, the young people got these vampire movies.
They got like five endings to them.
They keep coming back.
This is a vampire movie.
McCarthy, the zombie McCarthy, he's not dead.
No, no, no, no, no.
He's still in there.
He's still hanging there.
That's where he took his name.
I didn't want to finish third.
He's hanging back.
Jordan's not dead.
None of them are dead.
It's all a free fall, as it should be.
As it should be.
And no, we don't need the proclamation or the resolution.
McCaul, we have to get a resolution immediately.
You know, they knit their brows.
We have to get a resolution immediately to show that we stand with Israel.
Hey, trust me, Israel knows we stand with them.
Israel knows we stand with them.
They're not waiting for the House of Representatives.
We don't need to speed the Speaker.
Don't treat us like children.
The hobbits are not children.
The hobbits actually know how to govern the country.
You ever do that thought exercise sometimes?
Just think about it.
The Hobbits were actually in control.
If you're representatives, here's the thing you're going to find out the next couple days.
I said we'd unmask it.
The United Party, actually, most of the people in Congress, because people have told me, said, Steve, the thing is so brutal is when you get over there is the moderates are just basically Democrats.
And this is true.
75% of your representatives over there, and many of them from MAGA-RED districts, are just centrist Democrats.
That's what they are.
They're not conservatives.
They're not really Republicans.
They're not conservatives.
They're certainly not MAGA, or they're not ULTRAMAGA, which we pride ourselves on being the home of ULTRAMAGA, the platform for ULTRAMAGA.
No, they're not that at all.
So we've got a lot of fights to do.
Everybody take a deep breath.
Remember, McCarthy was to break that nexus between the Silicon Valley and the cartel here.
To break that.
But McCarthy's not dead, by a long shot.
He's sitting back there.
He had ten votes just left, and he's sitting back there.
He and his guys... If you compare and contrast it, McCarthy's team are killers.
They are.
They're killers.
They're killing guys all the time right there.
They're full-on assassins.
That's what people feared him.
That's our people freedom.
They were so arrogant and cocky, we caught them.
We caught them out.
We caught them out.
But that was... Hey, we had a puncher's chance, and we landed.
A lot more to do.
Scalise's guys are like the... McCarthy's the killers, Scalise's guys are like the clampets.
Otherwise, after 10 years of doing this, they would have had this thing, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
We chop-blocked them.
Secrecy went off, and then they couldn't rush it to 3 o'clock, and now it's a total freefall.
Now, in that point, you can cut deals, make deals, get a package together.
What he has to do, I think at a minimum, number one, he's got to get his mind right.
I don't see any more tweets out there about Ukraine.
I don't want to see any more tweets about Israel.
I want to see something about this country and particularly the invasion on the southern border.
That's what I want to see.
Let's go to Jeff Rainforth.
He's an investigative reporter.
He's been down in Lukeville, Arizona.
One of the greats.
Jeff was with us down at We Build the Wall.
This guy's been all over.
Tough as boot leather.
The photos you sent me, Jeff, are absolutely shocking.
They're beautiful, but they're shocking.
Tell me what is down on the southern border that's coming to the United States of America, sir.
unidentified
Hey Steve, thanks for having me on.
So this is like every day, every night, it's continuous.
Border Patrol told me it's non-stop.
It's thousands of people a night, even bigger than Yuma.
Yuma was the biggest site that I had last year.
In terms of people coming over in one spot, this is the new Yuma and it's in the middle of nowhere.
It's people from Africa, it's people from India, the Middle East, Asia.
Like you can see these people are from Senegal, actually, West Africa, I believe.
And they told me literally straight out.
That they came over and they're saying it's very expensive, how much they had to pay.
They didn't say to the cartels.
I've asked people, are you paying the cartels?
And they're like, no, it's the actual the Mexican police at which I know they're, you know, they got to stay safe.
But Everyone in the world is coming through.
And right here, right now, I know over the Eagle Pass, it's like massive also right now.
But this was what you're looking at.
It doesn't stop right there.
This is Lukeville, Arizona.
You'd never think It was happening here and the cartels have uh they're taking advantage of these flood gates inside of the or on the border walls which are actually supposed to be open only like if there's a monsoon or heavy rains so that debris doesn't get collected up and like and maybe topple the uh the border walls so but what DHS has done is is uh welded the gates open
Even though Border Patrol agents here have tried to keep them them closed because they knew what was happening and what would happen I would send a local article here.
I just read a couple days ago It's literally because these floodgates in in the border wall and now you can see this that goes on It doesn't stop what you're looking at right now.
It just I had my camera pan down.
Yeah, even I'm more powerful with yeah Yeah, beautiful Amazing.
steve bannon
Hang on for a second, Jeff.
We're going to go to break.
I want to hang you back.
Think about it for a second.
Your government, we're going to go out with Johnny Cash when the man comes around.
It's a day of the Book of Revelations.
Here's why.
Look at that photo right there.
If you hear it on radio or if you hear it on podcast, you've got to get online and get our newsletter.
You've got to get these photos.
unidentified
DHS.
steve bannon
You pay their salaries.
You pay everything.
They welded the floodgates open.
Why?
They want the floodgates of the entire world coming in here.
This is what an invasion looks like.
Don't want to hear about Israel.
Don't want to hear about Ukraine.
I want to hear first about stopping the invasion on the southern border.
We're going to have to get their minds right.
Because unless you do it, it ain't going to get done.
Short commercial break.
We're going to be back with Todd Bensman, the expert on the jihadis coming into America through the southern border, and Jeff Rainsforth, an amazing investigative reporter with his photography from Lukeville, Arizona, next in The War Room.

One hundred million angels singing.
Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum.
Voices calling, voices crying.
Some are born and some are dying.
It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come.
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
The virgins are all trimming their wigs.
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
volodymyr zelenskyy
war so we are in war so we understand What does it mean?
Terroristic attacks, such victims, tragedy, my...
Recommendation, if I can use this word, my recommendation for the leaders of the world.
I remember the first days of our full-scale war.
It began from terroristic attacks from Belorussia by missiles, then Russian army and, you know, that was the biggest tragedy what we had.
And so many dying people and so many deaths, so many.
And So it was very important not to be alone.
Very important.
And it can help to save your nation, people, save their lives.
So my recommendation to the leaders to go to Israel, and I think to support people, just people.
I'm not speaking about any institutions.
Just to support people who've been under terroristic attacks, people who are dying now.
It's very important.
Unity is more important than to be alone.
It's more strong.
It's very important.
That's what can I say about it.
Sometimes we're thinking how to prevail or how to stop the war, how to manage something, dialogue with Iran or Russia and etc.
Sometimes we're thinking.
I think we have to think oppositely.
steve bannon
We have Not to give possibility for aggressors even to think about... Axios is reporting Zelensky's requested permission to go to Israel to show solidarity.
Everything the Israelis got going on right now, they got total chaos, hell coming down on them.
They're in a gunfight in Gaza and also they got Hezbollah in the north.
They got the world coming down on them.
Of course they need Zelensky there.
It wouldn't have anything to do with him standing in front of the money train.
It would have nothing to do with that.
Just there for solidarity.
It has nothing to do with the cash.
Another big win from this audience is the other scam they were trying to run is combined whatever comes out on the Israeli funding, a supplemental, Like, you can't get that out of an $880 billion defense bill that we already appropriated.
A supplemental that they want to tie to Ukraine.
They're trying to jam.
The defense contractor lobbyists are all over these guys because they give them the big bucks and said, you got to get this.
Ukraine is the milk train.
You got to get Ukraine.
You got to get Ukraine.
You got to push Ukraine.
That's what we're saying.
Urgent.
We need Ukraine.
We got to get there.
Urgent.
Dad got decoupled today.
Politico's reporting that's not going to happen.
Why this audience?
You're furious.
Well, consider the Israeli thing, but the Ukraine is a zero.
Watch my lips.
No money.
Zero.
In fact, we want some of our money back, like tens of billions of dollars that was stolen by the oligarchs over there.
The other thing, and it's a bloodbath politically up here, as it should be.
McHenry, they could turn to McHenry.
Tom Emmers, I'm very reliable, reports that Emmer's team is bailed on Scalise.
They're at each other's throats right now.
Emmers is looking to maybe make some moves.
Maybe not even Majority Leader.
They're all looking at, could they be Speaker?
And to be Speaker, they're going to have to get realistic about no CRs, no omnibus, real massive cuts in spending, no Ukraine, keep the motion to vacate.
Come on.
Get with the program.
Dump the cartel and maybe you get the brass ring.
Scalise, Emmers, McHenry, McCarthy, Jordan.
And there'll be other guys popping off at Jordan.
I think Chip Ray just told Canfo for Scalise on the floor.
MTG can't do it.
Others can't do it.
So this is going to be Darwinian as it should be.
It's a town without pity and that's okay.
The Hobbits aren't looking for pity.
The Hobbits never play victim.
The Hobbits, the War Room Posse, it's on your shoulders.
You're the Kulaks.
It's on your shoulders.
Let's go back down.
I want to get Jeff back in the conversation.
Jeff, your photography is stunning.
Just tell people what it's like to be there.
In Lukeville, Arizona, this is the new Gaza.
You don't need going looking in the Middle East to Gaza.
You got Gaza in Arizona and Southern Arizona.
You got Gaza in the in the Rio Grande Valley.
You got Gaza in South Texas.
Benzema's down at Eagle Pass.
That's Gaza.
We got Gazas all over America.
We took in 8 to 10 million illegal aliens.
I want you to embrace that.
I want you to think about that.
That's more people in the whole state of Israel.
In this country, we don't know who they are, and Todd Benson tells us, the IG, Inspector General, tells you, not only don't you know who they are, you don't know where they are.
So, let me give you a happy day.
Let me show you some sunlit uplands.
The day we start the mass deportation.
That's when I have Steve Scleese, I don't want to sit there and say, it's very important for the speaker because the world needs to know, we've got to make proclamations.
No, screw the world.
The world doesn't need to know anything.
The world can take care of itself.
The citizens of this country need to know that America is your number one priority, and American citizens are your number one priority.
If you get that right, everything else will work out.
And they don't get it right.
What else do you have to tell them?
You got to beat them upside the head, metaphorically, with a 2x4 every day.
You know why?
Because the cartels take the money from you, but they don't make the money from you.
They make the money from distributing your cash everywhere in the world.
Everywhere.
That's where they make it.
That's what the con is.
That's what the scam is.
And now finally, as you say in investment banking, the sources of proceeds, that means the generator of the cash, Gets a say-so.
And your say-so has been kind of, hey, I don't like what I'm seeing.
Jeff, explain to people what's happening in Lukeville, Arizona, sir.
unidentified
So Steve, this is where it's at right now.
I mean, literally everyone in the world is coming through here.
There was nothing going on in Yuma when I went.
I stopped by there before I went here.
And so everyone, as you can see, and there are people from Africa, tons I don't know how they're getting here on boats or planes, maybe.
I don't know if they're paying that much.
And then I saw people from India.
I know people from the Middle East.
I didn't get to ask them if they are, but I've also heard from Border Patrol and other people that there are people from the Middle East actually coming in.
I can just, it's the scale of what's going on.
When I was at the border wall, which is actually right over, you probably can't see it, but it's like, I'm down below this hill and right over that hill is where it all happened.
That's where you were just looking at.
This, what you're looking at in this picture is the actual port of entry.
That is what, right now what you're looking at is the, how Americans go into Mexico.
That's the entrance into Mexico, but they're having to use it as an entrance into America because so many people are coming over illegally right there, because they block off the entranceway into America if they didn't.
So, and that's just one area right there.
And then you saw right over there was the Africans on the right-hand side.
So that's just the port of entry itself.
And this is when I was driving out to the wall.
That is just all the time.
They're just running.
Those are more people from Africa right there.
And then I'm headed up over this mountain or over the hill here.
And it's insane.
The border patrol that I've talked to, they're overwhelmed.
They said it's just endless.
It doesn't stop.
And it really is.
It's the DHS, Biden's DHS, who have opened up these floodgates even though it's not raining and it's not going to rain.
There's no flooding whatsoever.
They've literally welded them open so the cartels can bring people through.
That's the huge problem.
The Border Patrol agents on the ground, they don't want it.
They didn't want it.
At all.
They tried to keep those floodgates closed.
That's why the cartels are bringing everybody here.
Because something's going on at the very, very top.
Where they've literally opened the floodgates for the flood.
And it's just stunning.
When I'm out here, it's stunning to see it in person.
steve bannon
Jeff, you've been around and seen a lot.
What are the residents down there?
What are the American citizens?
Have you had a chance to check in with any of the ordinary folks down there about what it means to them, how it's changed their lives?
unidentified
You know, some of the people like, I just put up a video on my most recent border tour, El Paso.
The cartel, coyotes, and drug traffickers, they're like overwhelming neighborhoods.
I was like close to El Paso.
They are threatening people, Americans.
They're killing their dogs so they won't bark at night because they're trafficking drugs and they're trafficking people.
And they're scared.
People are scared.
They're having to put up lights outside in their yards, which the actual coyotes and drug traffickers come in and knock down and terrorizing whole neighborhoods Here, I was just approached by Border Patrol today.
I was out editing videos.
I'm camping out here because it's like 200 miles to the round trip to the nearest grocery store.
So I'm literally camping out where all this is happening.
Border Patrol came up to me.
He's like asking me what I was doing.
He said, you know what goes on out here?
And I was like, uh, like prostitution.
He's like, no, it's like human trafficking, drug trafficking, et cetera.
It's really bad out here.
And last night, A border patrol agent said, told me as I was about to go camp out away from the port of entry, he said it's better if you stay up where we are, where all the border patrol agents are congregated in our trucks and vans.
It's a lot safer because this place fills up and with illegal aliens overnight and it's very dangerous for people out here.
And so I did that, exactly what he said.
But the people that I've talked to so far, it's completely disrupting their lives.
They're completely changing their lives because there's so many people are coming over.
And even, I mean, if the mayor of New York says it, you know, and he's a Democrat, you know something's wrong.
Even I have some liberal friends back where I live in Sacramento, very far left.
And they're like, they are saying it's a problem.
The people on the far left like that I know in far left Sacramento um yeah so it's It's a huge thing, and it's only getting worse.
I just talked to Michael Yan.
I think you know Michael Yan.
I met him in Hong Kong as we were covering the protests there.
You sent me over there to cover them.
Michael is in the Darien Gap.
Everybody's probably been watching his stuff.
I just talked to him last night.
He's like, dude, it's even getting worse.
There's so many more people coming over in the Darien Gap that we're going to see up here.
So it's, it's not, it's never ending.
And Biden just said he wanted to make a, like build some walls, but then, you know, Mayorkas came recanted on his statement.
So who knows?
Who knows what's going to happen?
I told people I'm going to experiment with putting up a concertina wire out here if I can in the gaps of the wall.
And if I don't go to prison, so I, you know, I can do that.
I've been scouting out places where it's possible to put concertina wire up.
steve bannon
Jeff, how do people get to you, your videos, all your reporting?
You're one of the best investigative reporters out there.
He's like a guy like Jan in Birquam and Oscar Blue.
They go in harm's way to get the story, to get the real facts for America.
Where do people get you, sir?
unidentified

We've been playing the apocalyptic music of gospel music.
We're going to end this hour with the great Hank Williams on the Battle of Armageddon, one of his little-known songs, but a masterpiece.
That we started with this morning.
Segal Chadha joins us from Nevada.
She's a member of the RNC.
Segal, you're very close to the situation in Israel.
I said it the other day, there's no way that his government, that Bibi's government could stand What happened over the weekend, and of course they put together a unity government.
Can you give us, and you're going to roll over into six o'clock hour, but just give me a thumbnail sketch of your thoughts of what's actually happening in Israel right now at the political level, ma'am.
sigal chattah
Thank you for having me, Steve.
Well, when we talk about a unity government, you know, Benny Gantz and Bibi Netanyahu couldn't be more different ideologically.
I know that this was an issue during the elections, during the numerous elections that they've had in Israel.
But I think what happened now is, you know, desperate times calls from desperate measures.
And at the end of the day, all Israelis are united to fight Hamas and to fight terrorism.
And to fight every other issue that we're dealing with.
It's not just the Hamas and the terrorism, but also Iran.
And I think we'll talk about that more at six o'clock.
steve bannon
We're going to get into Iran and all that.
I got to ask you though, the, you know, the IDF and the Mossad and military intelligence, particularly from the 67 and 73 war, and in the 67 war I was a paper boy, but they were revered.
I mean, Israel always had its back to the sea, always had its back against the wall.
The whole Arab world were bringing armies all over and they were taking them on.
What has happened?
Is it because of wokeness?
I mean, I think what people are shocked about is how could this happen in Israel with heretofore elite intelligence services and elite troops, ma'am?
sigal chattah
Yeah, I mean, when you look at Israel's history, we had, you know, like you said, 67, 73, you know, we had the Yom Kippur War, you had the Sabina hostage taking, you had Antebi, you had Israel was revered and the Mossad has been revered for decades as one of the top intelligence organizations In the world, the IDF has been revered and I think what we saw was we saw them sleeping at the wheel.
You know, they've been dealing with this judiciary and reform of judiciary and everybody's sleeping.
You have the wokeness, you have, you know, the, I mean, the most ironic thing was you have a generation of Israelis that haven't fought in wars.
The last war that really went on in Israel was in Lebanon, and our generation simply does not know how to fight.
I'm not talking about incursions.
We have a country with two generations that simply have not had to deal with war.
The last real war that hit Israel was Yom Kippur.
My dad was a reservist on Yom Kippur.
My dad fought during the Six Day War.
So that's really what we're dealing with.
And, you know, and they want peace.
They're at peace festivals and everybody wants to live and there's this whole concept of, you know, dual existence and coexistence and it just doesn't work and I think now this generation is seeing that it doesn't work.
They're dealing with 8th century barbarism and that's what we're dealing with now.
steve bannon
Seagal, hang on.
You're going to join us at 6 o'clock.

Oh, he spoke of this great battle that is coming by and by.
All the way from the gates of Eden to the battle of Amnigod, there's been trials and tribulations.
