Uh, officers. | |
| Officers, this is the gentleman that was accosting me when I had the two-month-old baby in my hand. | ||
| You came in my personal space yelling at me. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| What are you doing? What are you doing to call for the end of the Israeli border? | ||
| What about the terrorists who have tried to attack in this building in support? | ||
| It is a forum that you are in this building, stepping up to terror. | ||
| You are a caring sympathizer. You are human. Stop. | ||
| You need to stop. I do not care. You are human. You are human. Stop. | ||
| That's what you are. You need to stop. You have no business in this building defending terrorists. | ||
| You are an actual criminal. I know you have so many laws and you throw this on us. | ||
| The fact that we have terrorists inside of this building is unacceptable. | ||
| They can't be the ones to say what's happening in this country. | ||
| Free, free Palestine! | ||
| Free Palestine! | ||
| From the river to the sea! | ||
| In his honor, let us not forget the last colony of Africa, Western Sahara. | ||
| Let us fight to free Western Sahara from oppression. | ||
| Let us also remember that Madiba said our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of Palestine. | ||
| Therefore, we stand together to fight for the liberation of Palestine. | ||
| Free, free Palestine! | ||
| What is the immediate threat? | ||
| What does the immediate future look like for Israel in your view? | ||
| Immediate future doesn't look very bright, particularly if you're on the Hamas side. | ||
| But it's going to be chaotic, and it's going to be... Look, it's a democracy, and in a democracy the people's voices matter, and there's going to be a weariness. | ||
| You watch. | ||
| The world's going to be, okay, let's negotiate. | ||
| You know, Israel's got to negotiate. | ||
| They're not going to negotiate. | ||
| These people have played their cards. | ||
| They want to kill as many Israelis as they can, and negotiating with killers is not an option for the elected government of Israel. | ||
| And so we're just going to have to remain steadfast, but it's not going to take long. | ||
| It's gone on too long. | ||
| Surely there's a way to settle this through negotiations. | ||
| Both sides are guilty. | ||
| My view is one side is guilty, and it's not Israel. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| The fact that we have terrorist sympathizers in this building is unacceptable! | ||
| They should not be allowed in here! | ||
| What is happening in Israel is abhorrent! | ||
| That's what it is! | ||
| And the next time he tries to accost me with a child in my hand, I want him out of here! | ||
| He's an animal! | ||
| I am holding a child! | ||
| He is a f***ing terrorist sympathizer! | ||
| Who? | ||
| We're gonna go look at the video. | ||
| Mr. Santos, who? | ||
| Congressman Santos, who? | ||
| The gentleman back there is a terrorist sympathizer that has no business in this building. | ||
| What is happening in Israel is abhorrent. | ||
| What is happening to the people of Israel should not be defended. | ||
| Nobody defending Hamas has any business in this building, whether you're elected, whether you're a civilian. | ||
| It is a disgrace that we allow people to parade that kind of thought in here. | ||
| The other thing I'll say is Palestine is our generation in South Africa. | ||
| And if... | ||
| If... | ||
| If we don't step up boldly and courageously to end the imperialist project that's called Israel, we're doomed. | ||
| And I think that I had learned about Palestine for a long time. | ||
| I had known about it, been wanting to travel, and I was really, really grateful when the Dream Defenders asked me to come on the delegation. | ||
| But nothing would have prepared me for the level of militarization and the level of violence that we would witness those 10 days inside of Palestine. | ||
| Nothing would have prepared me for the ways in which We witnessed people's terror. | ||
| People live in terror on a daily basis. | ||
| And nothing would have prepared me for how much clarity I would have on why we have to be a part of Palestinian solidarity. | ||
| I mean, I think the anticipation was that Republicans were going to swiftly get a speaker installed so that they could deal with an aid package, especially given how vocally supportive Republicans are for the state of Israel. | ||
| Yeah, no, I'm actually not surprised that the events in Israel have not sped up this process because, again, it goes back to my first point, just how deep those fractures are within the party. | ||
| And the traditional alliances that we always stood by aren't as strong as they once were. | ||
| And while there's a lot of vocal support for Israel, obviously, you have members who are sitting there going, yes, but we also have support, we want support for Ukraine. | ||
| So you've got certain members who are leveraging Ukraine against Israel, which creates a different degree of tension. | ||
| So you don't have that kind of unanimity of effort and a push outward to A, stand with the president in the global decisions that he's gotta make there, but B, also reaffirm the party's loyalty to a longtime ally like Israel in a way that people will rally behind. | ||
| So it's a fraught process. | ||
|

|
I don't want to go to war. | |
| I'm going to be a hero. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||

unidentified
|
Bye. | |
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| You're not going to free shot 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. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||

MAGA Media. | |
| 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? | |

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Batt. | ||
| It's Friday, 13 October, Year of Our Lord 2023. | ||
| It's our afternoon, late afternoon and early evening show here on a Friday Jim Jordan has won the nomination in a close anonymous vote, got 124 votes. | ||
| Then he asked for an affirmation to say, take out the other guy running, Scott, who's some guy from Georgia who just threw his name in there as being an alternative. | ||
| He asked for an up or down vote. | ||
| Anonymous again, 155. | ||
| That probably was not a smart movie. | ||
| 60 something short, I think. | ||
| Then they immediately adjourned. | ||
| For the weekend. | ||
| They're not back till Monday night, and they don't vote on this until Tuesday. | ||
| Another... But they did it for consult. | ||
| They started going for consultation back to their districts. | ||
| So we want to make sure you're up in people's grills this week. | ||
| And we'll get to all that later. | ||
| Bibi Netanyahu addressed his nation tonight about the demand of 1.1 million residents of Gaza, the northern part, to remove themselves, to get out of northern Gaza, and they're going to start sending A land operation, military operation. | ||
| I think special forces first. | ||
| We'll see a big army goes in there. | ||
| There's a lot going on. | ||
| A lot more than this. | ||
| I mean, it's intense, intense, intense, a lot to talk about. | ||
| Also in capital markets about the government issuing or trying to hide where the real cash, the real cash flow of this government. | ||
| I want to bring in Boris Epstein. | ||
| Boris, President Trump's been getting criticism for pointing out kind of the rocky relationship that we had with Israel with Bibi Netanyahu towards the end there. | ||
| And he's been criticized by Chris Christie for saying that Hezbollah is smart. | ||
| I mean, Hezbollah is smart. | ||
| They're tough. | ||
| And the Israelis tell you that. | ||
| The Hezbollah is murderous terrorists. | ||
| They're all throughout Latin America. | ||
| They're all throughout Central America. | ||
| There's thousands of them here in the United States of America. | ||
| We know that because of the invasion of the southern border. | ||
| And Todd Benson is going to be on after Boris to reaffirm that. | ||
| Boris, your thoughts on where we are with this situation in Israel? | ||
| It is an honor to be with you today. | ||
| It is an honor to be with the Posse. | ||
| And Steve, I will tell you that it has obviously been an unbelievably difficult, tough, tragic, but resolute week. | ||
| And President Trump has come out time and time and time and time again. | ||
| Absolutely annihilated Hamas. | ||
| Just like he actually annihilated and ended ISIS when he was president, he has gone after Hamas time and time again, very much including, of course, since the murderous, barbaric, inhumane events of last Saturday. | ||
| President Trump today putting out on Truth Social his support for the Israeli Defense Force, for the brave soldiers who are risking their lives to keep the people of Israel safe and to avenge the horrible events and to prevent further horrible events happening in Israel and around the world. | ||
| Chris Christie still doesn't know anything about anything and if we want to sit around and assume that our enemies are dumb and that they can't put two and two together, Well, we could only do that at our peril. | ||
| President Trump continues to speak the truth, continues to be the leader of our country, while Joe Biden, who's given—it's not just $6 billion, but $6 billion plus tens of billions of dollars in oil money to the terrorist state of Iran. | ||
| Joe Biden has caused this hardship. | ||
| He's caused this disaster. | ||
| And now he's thinking that a couple of tough words here and there are going to make up for it. | ||
| The only thing they can make up for what happened is for Israel to annihilate Hamas, is for Israel to defend itself and to make sure that the kind of terror that happened never ever happens again. | ||
| We'll pull it up in a second. | ||
| I want to get my team to pull it. | ||
| The Daily Mail just put a story up of footage that Hamas has just released showing them terrorizing these small babies and children. | ||
| I mean, it's pretty extraordinary. | ||
| They're not backing off what they did at all, Boris. | ||
| In fact, they're owning it even more. | ||
| Boris, throughout the world today, From New York City, and we started, that was Nelson Mandela's grandson calling for support for Palestinian resistance. | ||
| Your thoughts as the Global Day of Jihad, a few knife attacks, actually a murder I think in France, but a pretty big showing throughout Europe and the United States, particularly on college campuses. | ||
| Your thoughts? | ||
| There's no doubt that the anti-Semitism And those who are saying, oh, well, anti-Zionism is not the same as anti-Semitism, you're fooling yourself. | ||
| Anti-Semitism is on the rise around the world at a level we haven't seen at least since the 1930s. | ||
| And the absolute depraved reaction to this murder of the elderly, men, women, children, admitted rape of kids, the beheadings of babies. | ||
| The depraved reaction to that around the world tells you just how far we've sunk as a humanity. | ||
| That's what it's all about. | ||
| That's what it proves. | ||
| That this ability to be human has now been stripped away, and what you're seeing from people is this disgusting, despicable anger that they have, and they're taking it out on the Jewish people. | ||
| But here's what I will say. | ||
| Our people have been around for millennia. | ||
| We fought through everything thrown at us, and you better believe we're going to fight through this. | ||
| We are not going to be intimidated. | ||
| We're not going to be scared. | ||
| We're not going to be stopped. | ||
| We are going to continue fighting. | ||
| And for those who talk about and want to understand the situation in Israel, look at the size. | ||
| Israel is a tiny sliver of land. | ||
| That is the ancestral homeland of our people. | ||
| It's the Jewish homeland. | ||
| And this huge pressure from all over the world, but also from the countries around Israel, has existed from the very moment that Israel came into being. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But is Egypt letting in anybody from Gaza? | |
| Nope. | ||
| Are the Jordanians? | ||
| Norse? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's Boris. | |
| He-he-he-he-he-he- He's your host, Stephen K Band. | ||
| Boris, U.S. | ||
| intelligence, CNN's breaking a story, U.S. | ||
| intelligence has said, now admitted, as we've been hammering them here on War Room from last Saturday morning when this occurred, that in fact they did know about this in advance and they actually said they warned Israeli intelligence about that. | ||
| Now they just said it was a couple of days or maybe a few weeks. | ||
| I refer to that as a clean-up in aisle three because there's something deeply wrong With not just the intelligence, but also the IDF's response, which in many cases took six, seven, eight hours on that Saturday. | ||
| Your thoughts? | ||
| There's no doubt in my mind. | ||
| It doesn't take an intel professional to know that when, as the Biden regime has done, you're giving billions of dollars to the terrorist regime in Iran, that there's going to be attacks on the state of Israel. | ||
| So there's no doubt in my mind that there was knowledge, that there was information, and that Both the United States intel and, as it's been reported, Israeli intel had information about what was about to happen. | ||
| Why the absolute lack of a response? | ||
| We'll have to find out over time, but here's what's for sure. | ||
| The Biden regime is chock full of Iran apologists, with Jake Sullivan being first and foremost among them. | ||
| There's absolutely no question. | ||
| That going back to that horrible JCPOA, the horrible deal that was approved and championed by Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and then was correctly demolished by President Trump in putting America first and protecting America and our greatest allies. | ||
| That back from that point in time, when America totally caves to Iran, it was all building up to the terror of last Saturday, which continues to this moment. | ||
| And here's one thing that Biden almost refuses to talk about. | ||
| You've got, according to their numbers, 27 Americans now dead. | ||
| Those numbers, sadly, are only about to go up because of the hostages. | ||
| This isn't, and that's vital to be clear, this isn't an Israeli terrorist attack on Israel. | ||
| This isn't an Israeli disaster. | ||
| This is a worldwide disaster, and absolutely a horrible, tragic attack on America and Americans. | ||
| Now, where do we go from here, Steve? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We gotta be very... yeah, yeah, yeah. Go ahead. | |
| There's no doubt that the level of horror, the level of terror, the level of inhumane anger exhibited by Hamas was all calculated. | ||
| They knew what was going to come next. | ||
| So while the next steps are taken, the next days and weeks, both Israel and America have got to be absolutely sure, the leadership and the military intelligence, the military leaders have to be sure that the flank is protected at every turn. | ||
| Because you better believe that Hamas and Hezbollah know what's about to happen, and they're going to find their ways to strike back, and we have to be ready. | ||
| And never again can we be caught flat-footed like happened on Saturday. | ||
| God bless those Israeli soldiers that are going in to fight. | ||
| God bless the American soldiers who are there now. | ||
| We've got to fight back and be ready. | ||
| Um, Jim Jordan, who's President Trump's, uh, he got the endorsement, is now taking an up or down vote. | ||
| It's 155. | ||
| They're going to come back on Tuesday and vote on his speakership. | ||
| McHenry, because people are saying the odds look pretty long on Jordan, right now there's a lot of anti-Jordan, a lot of animosity to Jim, because he's always been known as being a Trump supporter and kind of part of the MAGA movement. | ||
| Although we want, we don't like Jim 2.0, we want Jim 1.0. | ||
| McHenry, there's been a leak now that McHenry's trying to work a deal, and he hasn't removed McCarthy from the Speaker's office. | ||
| He's working to deal with the Democrats right now. | ||
| Boris, it would go 15 days at a time, and then be renewed. | ||
| He would give up a bunch of stuff to the Democrats, but particularly he'd get Ukraine, he'd get CR, they'd start working on Omnibus. | ||
| Basically, this is the cartel trying to cut a deal with the Democrats to have Democrat rule, just like they had in the debt ceiling. | ||
| Your thoughts? | ||
| My thought is that that is an absolute disaster. | ||
| There's no way on earth that Republicans should be cutting a deal with Democrats. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You think that Democrats would ever do this? | |
| Absolutely not. | ||
| That is a travesty. | ||
| Republicans better stand strong and, yes, come together. | ||
| Figure out who they want to speak, put that person forward, vote, and let's go. | ||
| Let's do the things that you were elected to do and you were not elected to go and join some sort of weak unity government bending a knee to Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi. | ||
| That is not what Republicans were elected to do by the men and women of this country, by American citizens. | ||
| It would be an absolute dereliction of duty. | ||
| Boris, how can people get you on your social media? | ||
| It's going to be a long, tough weekend. | ||
| It is going to be a long, tough weekend, Steve. | ||
| And after I spoke to you last week, we woke up on Saturday to a world that was already changed. | ||
| And, you know, first I want to say so many of the audience loved the podcast. | ||
| You reached out just personally and said amazing things. | ||
| I want to say thank you. | ||
| and to everybody out there who's making it clear just how horrific and terrible the events of last weekend were and how vital it is to make sure it never happens again. | ||
| God bless all of you. | ||
| Steve, my information, the website is hot, boriscp.com, hot on boriscp.com, hot on gator at BorisCP, Twitter at BorisCP, true social, hot at Boris, hottest on the ground, Boris on the score up sign. | ||
| Stay strong, God bless, and Shabbat Shalom. | ||
| Thanks, Boris. | ||
| I want to go to Todd Bensman right now. | ||
| Todd, the invasion, Josh Phillips was on this morning. | ||
| Josh Phillips was on this morning. | ||
| He talks about the four wars. | ||
| I think it's actually one war with four major fronts. | ||
| And the most important front of all is the southern border of the United States. | ||
| We had Michael Yan down in Darien Gap in Panama near those former military bases now run by NGOs and run by the The United Nations that are prepping massive now accommodations for people coming north. | ||
| He said normally in Darien Gap where there's 60 buses a day, there's going to be 200 to 250 buses a day because they're coming right now like never before because they realize the United States government, this illegitimate regime, doesn't have the courage To sit there and go, no, we're stopping this, we're shutting the border, you're not coming in, no more invaders. | ||
| How big a threat is Hezbollah throughout Latin America, Central America, and the probability that there's already a lot of Hezbollah that have come, fighters that have come up through the southern border already? | ||
| There's long-standing reporting, good, credible reporting, real reporting that, I mean, State Department reporting that Hezbollah has been ensconced and active throughout Latin America, the tri-border regions, especially Venezuela. | ||
| Major connections there between the old Chavez regime and Iran. | ||
| They also are present in Nicaragua. | ||
| The Iranians are in Nicaragua, as close as Nicaragua. | ||
| It wasn't that long ago that I actually went down to Managua to chase them down. | ||
| The presence of the Iranians and Hezbollah agents in Nicaragua. | ||
| They had a major embassy down there. | ||
| So most of what they're doing there is stockpiling weapons and earning drug money, doing money laundering to support Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. | ||
| So a lot of that money is going back. | ||
| They do a lot of counterfeit goods. | ||
| They do major cocaine trafficking with old elements of the FARC in Colombia and also the replacement for FARC, the organizations that are moving the drugs, the cartels. | ||
| And then they are able to launder the money through schemes to bring vehicles, buy vehicles used in the United States and then ship them to Africa. | ||
| And then from Africa to Europe, I mean, these guys are truly global, and they can attack. | ||
| They have teeth in Latin America. | ||
| Recently, there was a case, very recently, it's a fresh case, of an Iraqi asylum seeker in Ohio. | ||
| He got busted, thank God. | ||
| It was going to bring four ISIS-Sunni terrorists over the border, the southern border, through the Darien Gap. | ||
| He got caught. | ||
| To murder George W. Bush. | ||
| But as part of that investigation, he told undercover FBI agents that he had already brought two Hezbollah agents over the southern border. | ||
| There's no more in the court case about that, but I guarantee you there was a manhunt for them. | ||
| They are here. | ||
| Hezbollah is here. | ||
| They're in every major city in the United States. | ||
| They are armed. | ||
| They have target lists. | ||
| They are part of a clandestine unit called 910. | ||
| Unit 910. | ||
| We occasionally bust them. | ||
| We know about them because of court prosecution records on these recent busts just in the last few years, and they are just waiting to be triggered by Tehran or Beirut to attack inside the United States. | ||
| They haven't done it yet, but they are equipped. | ||
| They've got the target list. | ||
| They're trained, and they are Hezbollah all the way and on the payroll. | ||
| Monthly stipends, the whole bit. | ||
| As you saw the day of resistance in these massive rallies in other parts of the world, we got a minute here and I want to hold you through the break. | ||
| How dangerous is the turf that we're going through right now in regards to, because in Gaza it's going to get very ugly. | ||
| They're displacing a million people to get to the Hamas fighters. | ||
| How ugly is this going to get here, sir? | ||
| It's going to get really ugly. | ||
| And I'll tell you how I know this, because I worked for almost 10 years in the intelligence division of the Texas Department of Public Safety. | ||
| And my job was to run an intelligence group that did counterterrorism. | ||
| And every single time there was some kind of an uptick in violence in between Israeli forces and Gaza or on the northern border. | ||
| We would have attacks here in the United States from lone wolves and lone offenders and groups that just pop off. | ||
| They're so emotionally invested in what's going on over there that they just attack Jewish targets. | ||
| And so we had to contend with that every single time for years. | ||
| Uh, and I can guarantee you right now that sphincters in the intelligence world are tightened maximum extent. | ||
| I'm being told I have friends still over there who are just saying, Todd, I can't, you cannot believe this is 100%. | ||
| All we're doing is trying to deal with all of the threat information coming in right now over this. | ||
| Todd, Hank, Todd, hang on one second. | ||
| We'll take a short break. | ||
| Back with Todd Benzman in a moment. | ||
| Hey, uh, Chris Hoare is, you know, Chris always comes up with these specials for the audience. | ||
| Todd's gonna hang with this. | ||
| I got a lot more to go through with Todd Bensman on the invasion of our country through the southern border. | ||
| Folks, we've been doing this for years, covering for years, obviously the intensity over the last year or two since the Biden regime, but I tell you, I've talked to many of the sources and guys I've worked with, men and women I've worked with on a decade, never seen anything like this. | ||
| Never, ever has seen anything like this. | ||
| Chris Hoare, what do you got for us? | ||
| It's a time now people need to think about the satellite phones and all the other special offers you put up. | ||
| What do you got for us? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Steve, at SAT123.com today we have a free Iridium satellite phone with activation on a 24-month plan for just $119 a month and that gets you 100 minutes a month and those roll over if you don't use them, Steve. | |
| But look, we've talked for a long time about the possibility of something like this that's going on in Israel right now and we are seeing the cell phone service cut out in Israel to prevent Hamas operations and attacks and This could well spread as you've been talking about. | ||
| This could become something much worse and very quickly. | ||
| So the, you know, the message is that you must have independent satellite communications because cell towers and electrical grids, those things, those cell networks are all at risk right now. | ||
| So check out sat123.com. | ||
| That's sat123.com or call us at 9419551020. | ||
| That's SAT123.com or call us at 941-955-1020. | ||
| That's 941-955-1020. | ||
| But look, these phones work when cell phones go down, when the power grid goes down. | ||
| And we're seeing that throughout the Middle East right now. | ||
| And that could easily spread over here. | ||
| We've already got sustained cyber attacks on our infrastructure from these bad state actors. | ||
| And that's only going to get, you know, get ramped up and continue. | ||
| So it is absolutely vital that you are able to communicate independently of these major networks, because these phones don't require any ground infrastructure. | ||
| They will work no matter what is going on in the ground. | ||
| And you need to have this as a part of your prep kit. | ||
| So just head over to sat123.com or call 941-955-1020. | ||
| We'll call 941-955-1020. | ||
| We don't have a whole lot of phones left, Steve. | ||
| We weren't expecting it, like everyone, and when they're gone, we cannot get any more this year. | ||
| We're out. | ||
| No, I thank you for doing this, making this special. | ||
| Chris, what's the value of the phone? | ||
| You're giving the phone for free as long as you do the activation. | ||
| What's the phone valued at? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Steve, these phones sell from $1,500 to $2,000 anywhere else. | |
| So you're getting that for free. | ||
| And again, this is very limited now. | ||
| We've been absolutely crazy since last Saturday on the day of those terrible events when everything started. | ||
| You know, we cannot get any more phones, but we are not taking advantage of the situation. | ||
| We want to make sure we're keeping our phones for free as long as we can, as long as we have them. | ||
| Because we think that everyone has the right to be able to communicate during a disaster. | ||
| So please don't hesitate any longer if you haven't already got one. | ||
| Where do they go? | ||
| One more time. | ||
| Where do they go, Chris? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They go to SAT123.com. | |
| That's SAT123.com. | ||
| Or see, they can call us anytime. | ||
| 941-955-1020. | ||
| That's 941-955-1020. | ||
| We are open all the time, Steve. | ||
| So please give us a call today and we'll get that phone out to you right away. | ||
| Thanks for doing this, Chris. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Everybody in the War Room Posse does, too. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| These things sell out right away every time Chris comes out, because they're limited. | ||
| They only get so many, so get on this right away. | ||
| Todd Bensman. | ||
| Am I incorrect? | ||
| You've dedicated your professional life to this. | ||
| Is it now more dangerous, not just the southern border, but what's happening, this mass, mass, mass invasion through our border and over with absolutely no penalty whatsoever? | ||
| And, you know, we had Yan this morning that tells Darien Gap is going to be 5x worse in a couple of months. | ||
| Your thoughts? | ||
| I believe that the country is at an elevated risk of a terror attack from the southern border. | ||
| And here's why. | ||
| Because there have been 20 years of counterterrorism programs that were highly effective at filtering out actual jihadists crossing that border and deporting them back to where they came from. | ||
| That's been going on for years. | ||
| I wrote a whole book about this called America's Covert Border War. | ||
| It was my first book. | ||
| But those counterterrorism programs are now defunct. | ||
| They have been rendered non-viable. | ||
| They are not being used down there. | ||
| Partly, for example, one of them is an interview program for what we call special interest aliens in the business. | ||
| If you're from a country where there are terrorist operations organizing, you get tagged Special Interest Alien and set over here so that you can undergo additional security vetting, face-to-face interviews. | ||
| There might have been 3,000 or 4,000 Special Interest Aliens in any given year, at the most. | ||
| But now, Daily Caller, for example, is reporting and some others that there have been 75,000 Special interest aliens that cross that border in just the last eight months. | ||
| There is no possible humanly possible way to do interviews or security vettings with that many special interest aliens. | ||
| And we're just letting them in within 24 hours anyway, right into the country. | ||
| And so I believe that because of that and some other problems that that we are at a heightened risk right now. | ||
| We accidentally, our Department of Homeland Security, accidentally cut loose a Colombian guy on a terror watch list and he ended up in Florida for two weeks before they could go round him up. | ||
| We cut loose a Lebanese Venezuelan who was on the terror watch list We just let him go out of the detention center because we were afraid he was going to get COVID. | ||
| He was overweight. | ||
| That guy's up in Michigan somewhere running around. | ||
| That's the kind of thing that's going on. | ||
| And so, yes, I'm not saying that we're going to get a terror attack. | ||
| I'm just saying that we are definitely at a heightened risk of it. | ||
| And when the war really gets going in Israel, and I believe it's going to be a two front war when both fronts are going, That's when we are going to be at the greatest risk inside the country here, because those people that are crossing the border, a lot of them, we have to presume, are emotionally attached to the issue. | ||
| And when Israel starts to, you know, get a lot of operations and casualties, there's a good chance they're going to just pop off wherever they are, wherever they are, at the car wash, at the grocery store, at a shopping mall, that sort of thing. | ||
| And that's what I'm worried about. | ||
| I think that's what a lot of Homeland Security people are worried about. | ||
| The scale of this is almost incomprehensible. | ||
| The New York Post said yesterday that there's an ICE report, and the numbers buried in the ICE report, that there's 5.7 million of these invaders here that the government basically admits to having some sort of quote-unquote control over. | ||
| At least they're paying for their health care, paying for their food. | ||
| But the other things, the others they don't even count, are the 8 to 10 million total. | ||
| At that scale, there literally could be combat divisions of terrorists. | ||
| We saw pictures from Lukeville. | ||
| I know you've been there from Lukeville with Jeff Rainsforth last night. | ||
| And these guys coming in from Senegal look like my nephew's buddies that were in the army. | ||
| There's 10 or 12 of them together. | ||
| They know each other. | ||
| They're in great shape. | ||
| The clothes are nice. | ||
| They're hanging out. | ||
| you know, they're broing out because they look like they're close friends, but it looks like the, it looks like the Army, it looks like guys in the Army off for a weekend of liberty, sir. | ||
| I just want to point out that this idea that some of those young men coming over could pop off and get together and put together some kind of an attack or a plan in three or four months is not without precedent. In 2019, I conducted a study, an elaborate lengthy study of what happened in Europe during their 2014-2015 mass migration crisis, where you had | ||
| millions, not even as many as we've had. | ||
| They had maybe 3 million, 4 million come over their external EU borders into France and Germany and Sweden. | ||
| and, you know, everywhere in the European Union, and then began conducting a series of bloody attacks from one end of the continent to the other. | ||
| Some of them went in as cohesive cells across the border, posing as asylum seekers, and conducted the Paris attacks that killed 130 in 2015, and then did Brussels the next month in an attack at the airport and suicide bombing there and it just has gone from there. | ||
| This is not without precedent. | ||
| I just want to point out that it's an established workable tactic and all the bad guys know about this tactic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All the bad guys in the world know about this tactic. | |
| 2014 was about the Syrian war. | ||
| It was 3 million. | ||
| Henry Kissinger came out today and said, hey, upon further review, it was a major mistake for Germany to take in the 3 million. | ||
| Alternative for Deutschland is on the rise. | ||
| The second largest party in Germany right now. | ||
| They're all freaking out. | ||
| The Financial Times, all for this issue. | ||
| We've worked this issue for years. | ||
| I've worked that issue very closely. | ||
| You're going to see this. | ||
| What the Israelis hope to do is push out the Palestinians through the southern border, the gate of Gaza, into Egypt, and they're going to have refugee camps down there. | ||
| When that happens, more of these people are going to come to the United States because our border is wide open. | ||
| It was a disaster. | ||
| The Syrians coming to Germany was a disaster. | ||
| Go ahead, Todd. | ||
| I was just going to note that I saw Michael Yon on your morning segment, and he said that he has met Gazan Arabs coming through there. | ||
| He says, I meet them all the time. | ||
| And then after your show, I was on a different show with him, and we asked about that, and he said, yeah, I meet Gazans all the time in the Dariyat Gap. | ||
| So you can imagine if there are Gazans in the United States that came through the border, Uh, you know, they're going to be emotionally attached to what's going on. | ||
| Uh, and like, you know, kernels of popcorn in the, in a hot burning pan, they're going to pop. | ||
| Uh, that's, that's how we think about these things in, uh, Homeland Security circles. | ||
| I mean, you have to, you have to, you have to predict it and try to head it off. | ||
| And I guarantee you that. | ||
| The entire nation's 54 FBI offices right now are on high alert, and every fusion center, state and local fusion center in the country right now is on extremely high alert, especially because today is the day that Hamas urged its followers and co-religionists to attack worldwide, including in the United States, today, and to start attacking. | ||
| We'll be close. | ||
| Last question, Todd, quickly. | ||
| Do you think the House is spending enough time talking about this? | ||
| They talk about money to Ukraine, money to Israel, money here, money there. | ||
| Do you think there's enough focus on the invasion on the southern border? | ||
| I think there had been a good focus on it. | ||
| I know there's a lot of criticism about they're not doing anything, they're just holding hearings. | ||
| I personally like the hearings because when the Democrats were in office, They suppressed, for two years, all news about the border. | ||
| They refused. | ||
| The Freedom Caucus had to hold a hearing off campus. | ||
| Pelosi wouldn't even let them have a hearing on campus. | ||
| And I was a witness at the one off campus. | ||
| And I think information is good. | ||
| It's power. | ||
| Information is power. | ||
| And if that's all they can do right now, until they can get a new leader and get their hands on the purse strings, I'm a proponent of the purse string method of leverage, but I also am a big skeptic because I think the Biden administration loves this. | ||
| They want this. | ||
| This is their dream come true. | ||
| This is their dream come true, and they're going to go with it for another year. | ||
| Todd, how do people get to you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Social media, the books, where do they go? | |
| Benzman Todd at X, also T. Benzman at Getter, and I'm on Truth Social as well. | ||
| The book is Overrun, but the other book that's really important right now, in my opinion, is this one, America's Covert Border War 2021. | ||
| Everything you ever needed to know about these programs down at the border that are offline right now, and why we're at higher risk. | ||

Did you see the specialist last night try the brotherly shove? | |
| Did you see Tommy Townsend, the punter, getting that right hand on that left ass cheek and go ahead and shove gray? | ||
| Did you see the long snapper, Winchester, stand straight up and get mauled by a couple deep tackles? | ||
| Have you guys appreciated the conversation around the brotherly shove? | ||
| Or do you guys still think that there isn't enough respect and credit being given to what your offensive line has been able to do? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's like the quarterback sneak has been around forever. | ||
| It's like the MyPillow guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, we've had a pillow for years and this guy's coming in like it's, you know, a new damn thing being invented. | |
| And that's where we're at here, Pat and AJ. | ||
| It's bad enough that Joe Scarborough and the lawyers called Lumpy Pillows. | ||
| Now we got ESPN. | ||
| Say hey, he's like the MyPillow guy. | ||
| He's taking an old thing and just trying to remark it. | ||
| What do you got to say? | ||
| What's your comeback to ESPN, sir? | ||
| Isn't it unbelievable? | ||
| There's a reason, Steve. | ||
| We've sold over 80 million MyPillows. | ||
| Does he not realize this is the MyPillow 2.0? | ||
| This is the first time in 20 years we've been able to improve on the best pillow in history. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| It gives us publicity, everybody. | ||
| They keep attacking. | ||
| Steve, I'm down here in Miami. | ||
| I spoke this morning. | ||
| Now they're going to have me speak again tomorrow. | ||
| I put up the show, the thing with Morning Joe and Mika, and the crowd went ballistic. | ||
| They went crazy for three minutes. | ||
| It was like, we had to calm everybody down. | ||
| I go, no, you guys, we don't, this is, think of this as a good thing. | ||
| We're getting the word out that we're still fighting for our election platforms and we're still securing them. | ||
| And that's why they're attacking my pillow. | ||
| They want to silence their CEO's voice. | ||
| They don't want me out there talking about The plan to secure our election. | ||
| So I look at it as a good thing. | ||
| And ESPN, isn't that something? | ||
| Disney, this is ESPN, the pedos over at Disney. | ||
| Mike, our audience wants to know how we're doing and what do we have to do this weekend to make sure we keep all the phone operators employed in the factory at full capacity? | ||
