Speaker Time Text
unidentified
Those congressmembers have an agenda that is about taking down our higher education institutions that they think of as places of woke indoctrination.
Becker and other faculty in the sociology department signed a letter voicing their alarm over the NYPD's arrests on campus.
They need to vow not to be using the security forces and discipline as a way to handle conflicts over complex, challenging speech.
They need to vow not to be using the security forces and discipline as a way to handle conflicts over complex, challenging speech.
That's it!
No, no, no, stop!
Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
Stop!
Free Palestine!
Watch out!
Watch out!
I'm going!
We don't want that!
stop the call.
I'm going, we don't stop that, they wanna kill us.
No, I'm going.
No, they wanna kill us.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
I'm going, we don't stop that, they wanna kill us.
And they're just following that playbook.
So you think some of this is political?
I think a lot of it is political.
This all started after the congressional hearing a few weeks ago, where, I mean, when I say this all started, the bringing in of the police to arrest our students started right after President Shafiq was in Congress and felt like she needed to show them exactly what they were asking for.
But even many of those congressional Republicans are now calling on her to resign.
Pro-Palestinian students are calling on her to resign.
Jewish students who say they've been harassed and threatened tell me they're disappointed and don't feel safe here on campus.
Does she have support?
Is someone in her corner right now?
When President Shafiq went to Congress, she neither did what the Republicans wanted her to do, which I think, let me take that back.
When she went to Congress, there was no way for her to satisfy the Republicans.
The Republicans already wanted, not just the Republicans.
Almost the entire committee.
As for the idea that there are, I mean, that there are kind of outside agitators, I think this is something that we hear all the time.
And so I'm not saying I have evidence one way or the other, but I think we should take it with a few grains of salt.
I saw one video that the NYPD released that showed, you know, kind of in the crowd that was surging towards Hamilton Hall.
There was, you know, they pointed out one, um, older looking woman who I guess Is known to them.
But I think that, you know, we have seen very little in the way of hard evidence.
and I would assume that most of the people in Hamilton Hall are students.
I would assume that most of the people in Hamilton Hall are students.
I would assume that most of the people in Hamilton Hall are students.
I would assume that most of the people in Hamilton Hall are students.
I would assume that most of the people in Hamilton Hall are students.
Guys, if you keep...
NYPD are the truth, now!
S.Y.C.
What the f*** is that?
We will not stop, we will not rest, we will not rest.
We know exactly who we're getting this time, and yet he's ahead in the polls.
And I think it forces us to ask some questions about our fellow Americans and the country we live in and what people really care about and what people are aware of.
This notion that he sort of crept up on us, that he kind of snuck his way into office.
If he gets elected again, we cannot say we weren't warned.
We cannot say that the buyers didn't know what they were purchasing.
There's going to be no such thing as buyer's remorse in that sense.
So what do we do?
Well, I think we continue to talk openly and honestly about it.
I think one thing we have to stop doing, and this is consistent with a message in my book, is telling Trump's voters or would-be voters how stupid they are and condescending to them.
We've done too much of that, and that doesn't work.
They're drawn to him by realities in American life that are unideal that we need to address that I hope that I think the Biden administration is trying to and it needs to continue to work as hard as possible at that.
But we need not to see them as and talk about them as freaks, because that just drives us all further apart.
And that's going to end up creating the exact outcome that a lot of us who believe Trump could be the end of democracy fear.
He's talking the way he talks is that his most reliable group of supporters are what I think you can't have a better word for them than white nationalists.
He ran in his first campaign.
People don't remember.
I think back in 2011, when he was his first run for the presidency, he ran on a one issue, which was birtherism.
Which was basically to say that the first black American president was not really an American.
And in so doing, he signaled to those people that he was their representative.
And they have basically chosen him as their leader.
and they are essential to him because as he goes to these court trials as he faces the various of pressures that he faces in the system he can't rely on your average you know mit romney voting republican he has to rely on these hard core white nationalists in some cases white christian nationalists who are sticking with him no matter what no matter what happens in the trials
the Wow!
Get him!
Get him!
The LAPD are back there and doing nothing.
Just sit and ask yourself after reading that, is that the country I want to live in?
willie geist
Is that the country I want my kids to live in?
unidentified
Take out your politics and just read the entire interview.
That's why this November is more than just a presidential election.
It's a test for America.
How long do we want America to be America?
Because if you read the interview, it's all there.
He's not kidding.
It's who he is.
It's what he wants to do.
It's the bizarre, demented gift That he has brought to this country.
I mean, the idea that if Joe Biden wins 60% of the vote this fall, Donald Trump wins 40% of the vote this fall, he will still contest the election, claim it was rigged, claim it was fixed.
It's part of the political bloodstream now that he has gifted this country.
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
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 line?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon
It's Wednesday, 1 May in the Year of the Lord 2024.
It's May Day for all the commies throughout the world.
And there's lots of Marxists, including the deep inbeds into the faculty and administration on these universities.
Our great president told us today on a Truth Social that he's wondering out loud if all these demonstrations are to take the eye off the southern border.
Mr. President, no, our eye's not off the southern border.
And in fact, The problems we have with mass migration, the problems we have with the illegal invasion of our country, a lot of that is playing out in these universities.
Every student there on a foreign visa that was picked up by the police last night in New York City or at UCLA should be deported immediately.
By the way, Frank Bruni, New York Times columnist saying, hey, just calling MAGA stupid, just calling MAGA ignorant is obviously not working because their movement's growing.
And you saw Nicole Wallace with the big long face about to tear up there because he is absolutely correct.
We are on the rise and we are unstoppable.
But the biggest news of the morning, Congressman MTG went out in front of the Capitol and threw down hard.
Now, what's quite interesting, Todd Benson is going to join us right after MTG.
We're going to talk about the Ukraine bill, something that Speaker Johnson and none of the collaborationist Republicans mentioned or told President Trump.
There's three and a half billion dollars.
Remember, we had Miss Mahoney on the other night to actually went and saw the State Department offices they're going to set up.
Three and a half billion dollars to accelerate mass migration from the Middle East into the United States of America.
Let's play a cold open.
MTG will join us right after.
marjorie taylor greene
Yeah, that's what this is.
The Uniparty is make Ukraine great again.
The Uniparty is all about funding every single foreign war.
They think this is the business model that needs to be done.
unidentified
There you go.
Thank you.
steve bannon
Congressman Greene, you threw down hard today, you didn't back off.
What did you put before the American people and before Congress that you're bound and determined to have a great unmasking, ma'am?
marjorie taylor greene
Steve, I went out and held a press conference today because I think the American people deserve to see recorded votes on record to see who the Uniparty is, because that's exactly what we have in the House of Representatives today.
Hakeem Jeffries, the entire Democrat leadership team, has come out fully endorsed Mike Johnson.
They want him to remain speaker.
They fully support his speakership because he's done such an excellent job delivering Joe Biden's agenda, giving the Democrats every single thing they want, giving another $61 billion to Ukraine, funding foreign wars all over the country.
And President Trump is right.
ignoring the southern border, the full-on invasion at the southern border.
Mike Johnson funded that too, to keep it open, to keep Joe Biden's invasion of America going, Steve.
So I went out today and I let everyone know I'm calling the motion to vacate next week.
This is not something that I want to be doing, but I think this is something that has to be done because we got a clean house, Steve.
We got to get our house in order because when President Trump is back in the White House in January of 2025, we need a Republican majority in the House with leadership and members that are prepared to deliver his agenda finally.
They failed last time he was president.
We need a Republican majority that can get it done this time.
steve bannon
Do you think he's fully aware of what Johnson, working with the Democrats, are putting in these bills to either handcuff him or even potentially make it very difficult for him to take office?
Do you think that because in these bills, it's like the three and a half billion dollars, we now found out, went to the State Department.
They never talked about, went to the State Department to accelerate Mass immigration, mass migration from the Middle East to the United States.
You see what's on these college campuses right now?
The Marxists and the Sharia supremacists trying to overthrow America.
Not Israel, trying to overthrow America.
Your thoughts, ma'am?
marjorie taylor greene
Oh, I completely agree, Steve.
No, I don't think he understands and is informed on these bills that are being passed.
He hasn't been informed of what Speaker Johnson has done, the agenda he's passed.
I mean, Speaker Johnson fully funded the Department of Justice, who's trying to put President Trump in jail the rest of his life, which is a death sentence.
He fully funded the FBI that raided Mar-a-Lago, and he gave the FBI a brand new building.
He has fully funded the Department of Justice that's locking up people that protested at the Capitol on January 6th.
Every single day these people are still being arrested, and they're being locked away in prison for years and years and years.
This is the funding that Mike Johnson brought, and no, I don't think President Trump knows about it.
Steve, let me tell you, those protests happening on college campuses, the woke Marxist college campuses, let me tell you, they are funded, and you're right, it is to overthrow America.
They're going to build those and build those and build those, and while networks all over continue to show more coverage and more coverage, that's all they want you to see on TV.
And listen, let me tell you how people need to see this.
unidentified
Those spoiled, bad college kids.
steve bannon
MTG, MTG, hang on.
Can you, hang on for one second.
We'll hold you to the break.
I want to give you plenty of runway on this one.
Short break. Congressman MTG.
unidentified
On the other side.
Use your host, Stephen K. Babb.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome back.
Congressman Green, I'm going to have you continue what you were saying in a moment.
I want to put a pin on that just for a second because Speaker Johnson has just made a statement that Jake Sherman over at Punchbowl has put up on Twitter.
Johnson's statement is, the motion to vacate, this motion is wrong for the Republican conference, wrong for the institution, And wrong for the country.
Now I've just put up, and it'll be up on Getter in a moment, as soon as my crack staff helps me out here while I'm broadcasting, my response to that, Congressman, is, sir, you are a traitor to, one, the Republican conference, two, the Congress as an institution, and three, the country.
Your thoughts, ma'am?
marjorie taylor greene
Joe Biden's agenda after voters all over America gave us the majority in the midterms in 2022 is a complete betrayal.
That's what's wrong for our conference.
That's what's wrong for Congress.
That's what's wrong for our country.
And you want to know something, Steve?
I said this at the press conference.
I was one of the Americans that voted for President Trump in 2016 because he was the only presidential candidate standing on that stage of 17 candidates that was ready to take a sledgehammer to the Republican establishment that has failed us over and over and over again.
And we have Mike Johnson going in there and basically giving a sloppy kiss to Hakeem Jeffries and Jeffries taking him in with a great big hug and them holding and sharing the speaker's gavel together.
That's what's wrong for America, and Americans are sick and tired and fed up with it.
Steve, nobody wants this drama right now, but it's Mike Johnson that has completely brought it on all of us.
He has delivered this, because he has completely capitulated to the Democrats, and he has done everything they wanted, so much so that Joaquin Jeffries and the entire leadership team is fully supporting Mike Johnson's Speakership.
They're only doing that because Mike Johnson is delivering their agenda and that will cost us the house.
Yeah, this is inconvenient.
Yeah, this is something I don't want to have to do with right now.
Yeah, this is something that our conference shouldn't have to go through.
But I'm going to tell you, Steve, I didn't come up here to Washington to go along and get along and put it in cruise control and just have an easy job, cushy job up here in Washington.
While America burns down to the ground and gets taken over by George Soros and all of his protests in Hamas and fully open borders and we're being invaded and the economy falls apart and our dollar loses value and inflation continues to skyrocket and our kids have no hope for a future?
I'm sorry, I'm not here to participate in the Uniparty, but I can't wait to deliver a vote for American voters next week so they can have A fully transparent list of everybody here in Congress that believes in the Uniparty and has a membership card in the Uniparty.
It's a coming out party, Steve, and I'm ready to deliver it.
steve bannon
How many times did he, either privately with you or in conference in front of everybody, say, and I'm not even counting going on national TV and telling American people, but I want to know in the conference or to you, did he sit up and absolutely commit Oh my gosh!
marjorie taylor greene
He said it over and over and over again, Steve.
He said it in our conference meetings.
He would give it in his speeches on the floor.
He'd say it to the press every time he talked to them.
He'd say it in his interviews.
I'm sure he said it to the donors that he's begging money for.
He said it over and over and over again, and what did he do?
His words do not matter.
His actions matter.
And his actions are this.
He did nothing to secure the border.
And that's the most important thing happening in America right now.
It's not these fake funded protests that are going to grow into complete chaos and violence all over America.
That is dangerous.
And that is something that's already illegal.
steve bannon
Did he or his staff ever come forward and tell, because we're talking a lot of congressmen that are in shock, and the reason they're in shock is we had the woman on the other day who dug into it, Ms.
Mahoney, and now they're constituents in their face.
Did he ever come forward that three and a half billion dollars of his Ukraine bill that he was the one that demanded to be passed would go to set up new centers in the Middle East to exacerbate and accelerate mass migration from the Middle East to the United States of America, ma'am?
marjorie taylor greene
No, he didn't talk about that at all.
Not a single bit, Steve, but that is the reality.
This is what Joe Biden's going to do.
He's going to use that $3 billion to create an entire refugee program of Hamas and bring them into America, giving them refugee status, making the American people pay for it, probably turning them into voters in the November election.
This is extremely dangerous.
This is what Mike Johnson has allowed to happen because he refused to fight.
And he said, oh, we have a thin majority.
What are we going to do?
How are we going to stop it?
This is just the reality of divided government.
This is not the reality of divided government.
This is the destruction of America that's going to drag us further and deeper into maybe another war in the Middle East.
Possibly being involved in NATO and a war against Russia, because this is the direction that we're going in.
And this is absolutely the most dangerous time possibly in American history.
And it can all be stopped.
Steve, all of it can be stopped if our Republican conference Does the hard work, is it hard work?
Yes, it's hard work.
But who the hell signed up for this job, for it to be cushy and easy?
I know I didn't.
And this is, these are the times that we're living in, Steve.
steve bannon
Congressman Greene, yesterday the conference chair, Elise Stefanik, put forward a massive letter she sent to the Justice Department requiring an immediate review of everything going on in the Justice Department, particularly around Colangelo and what's happening in New York City.
The chair of the Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan, just came out and saying that they're starting an investigation on Colangelo and what's happening in New York City.
He last week released a 300-page report That absolutely shows that President Trump is being crucified by Marxists up in New York City.
Julie Kelly has a blistering report up on Twitter about how the classified documents case was set up by the FBI and by DOJ.
And Tom Fitton over at Judicial Watch is putting out more massive documents under four-year requests that shows that this is a vast criminal conspiracy.
Our own Mike Davis has called for an immediate investigation.
Did Speaker Johnson mention any of that when he fully funded the FBI and Department of Justice?
Because these have been in works for months.
This just didn't appear overnight.
Did Speaker Johnson tell the conference exactly what was going on inside?
They had work going on by his conference chair, by the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, a 300-page report that was already done, that was being suppressed by Johnson's staff.
Did they inform anybody in the conference before the votes went down?
To support the FBI.
Fully fund the FBI.
Give a new headquarters and fully fund DOJ.
Ma'am.
marjorie taylor greene
No, we weren't informed of any of that.
And let's be really brutally honest, Steve.
Those investigations are extremely important.
And that is exactly the type of work our committees should be doing while we hold the gavel and our subpoenas should matter.
But our subpoenas will not matter.
Do you think the FBI cares to come in and show up before our committees when Mike Johnson is fully controlled by Hakeem Jeffries?
Absolutely not!
They're going to laugh at us.
Do you think Merrick Garland or anybody over at the Department of Justice is going to cooperate and answer our letters and give us information?
steve bannon
Do you think Speaker Johnson and his staff actually made a deal with Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats when they came out last week because there's no coincidences and said they were going to back him?
Do you think the reason that report was suppressed The reason Jim Jordan couldn't go forward and announce what he announced yesterday, the reason that Elise Stefanik could only release it yesterday, the reason that nothing's been done on the situation in Miami, nothing's been done about Jack Smith, do you believe that he's actually cut a behind-the-scenes deal to save himself with Hakeem Jeffries so as not to prosecute the DOJ and the FBI who are persecuting President Trump, ma'am?
marjorie taylor greene
I have to be very careful in that answer, Steve, because I don't have any proof Uh, but it certainly seems that way.
I don't have proof to say that he cut a deal, but it certainly appears that way.
This man cares more about staying Speaker of the House than he cares about doing anything.
He will not pass our Republican agenda.
He's helping the Democrats.
He will not bring accountability against Biden's Department of Justice, against Biden's FBI.
He will not do anything to enforce subpoenas and enforce committee hearings on these extremely important issues while President Trump sits in a New York courtroom day after day on a trial that's an absolute joke and should not be happening to him, only to move on To the next Democrat joke trial, fake trial, and have to sit in another courtroom day after day after day while this is complete election interference.
Can we trust Mike Johnson?
Absolutely not.
His mask has been taken off.
Whether he's compromised, whether he's completely inept, whether he's completely incapable, whether he's bought off or he's made a deal, the reality is He cannot do the job as Speaker of the House.
He is no longer fighting for the Republican Party.
He is completely controlled by the Democrats, and that became clear when Joaquin Jeffries and the entire Democrat leadership team came out and fully endorsed him.
That is the most dangerous situation for us to be in as this country goes on a collision course and is driving at a Horrible, frightening speed towards World War III.
And that is what's happening, Steve.
And they want the chaos.
Remember, Democrats are the party of chaos.
They were the party of Antifa riots, the party of BLM riots that burned cities all over America.
And what did that do to the 2020 election?
It played completely in the Democrats' hands.
So anybody that's looking at these college campuses' protests and saying that, oh, this is good for Republicans because it's showing who Democrats are.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
This is a major play in their playbook and they're going to use it and they're going to drive it all the way to Joe Biden claiming that he's brought peace to the Middle East and appeased both sides so that he can pull all those voters back in for him and try to win in November.
I think this is the worst thing that can be happening.
And I want to remind everybody of one thing.
These spoiled bratty college kids that are getting caught up in this garbage on these woke Marxist university campuses, they don't make a product, they don't make a job, and they don't do a damn thing for America and our economy.
And that is the reality of what's happening, and you're watching it on TV 24-7 every single day.
It is completely political and funded.
steve bannon
Can you hang on for just a few more minutes?
I guess I have two more questions for you.
Short break.
Congressman MTG on the other side.
unidentified
Not an empty day, but a new one.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
steve bannon
Congressman MTG, it's already started.
MSNBC is already saying that, hey, you know, Mike Johnson's showing that bipartisanship works, that the center is holding against the radical fringe of MAGA.
Of course, your buddy's over at Fox News with Murdoch News with Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich.
You're an agent of chaos.
You're an agent of anarchy.
You're going to put in jeopardy the majority.
What say you, ma'am?
marjorie taylor greene
Well, of course they're saying that because they all, you know, you've got the left MSNBC represents the Democrat Party.
They're getting everything they want from Mike Johnson.
Then you've got the Murdochs and we know exactly what Fox News and the New York Post and, you know, they called me Moscow Marjorie literally just over a week ago.
They're going to attack me because they don't want anything to change.
They love the Uniparty.
These two networks, those two companies and all of them put together, they are the Uniparty.
They love to keep it going.
They want to continue to fund Ukraine.
They absolutely love the Ukraine war.
They love the forever wars.
They want to see war in the Middle East.
They want to see our wide open border.
They love all this stuff and they want to continue it going because they will never do anything to put America first.
That's the establishment.
That's the uniparty establishment.
So they're going to attack me with everything they have.
My hope, Steve, is I hope the American people see through it, and I think they can.
I believe in the American people.
I believe they're far more intelligent, they're far smarter than these networks give them credit.
These networks want to tell them what to think, want to tell them what to believe, and want to tell them who the enemy is.
And, you know, the truth is I'm not the enemy.
I came here to Washington, D.C.
because I was fed up with the Republican establishment, fed up with the Uniparty, and fed up with a federal government that has failed us over and over and over again to the point where we are going to collapse probably sometime in our lifetime.
And I don't want to be a part of that system.
I do not want to be one of the people that made that happen.
I want to do everything I can while I'm here in Congress to stop it, Steve, and to fix these problems and force our government to actually work for Americans for once.
For a change and actually do something for our country.
And that's all I care about.
So the attacks are going to continue and fine, let it happen.
But I believe in the American people and I believe they're smart enough to know the difference.
steve bannon
It'll be, that collapse on our current trajectory will be a lot sooner than sometime in our lifetime.
It's coming and it's coming hard.
Before we leave you, you have a vast audience here.
These people are going to have a chat with their representative, both in the local office and in DC, to either sit down with them or to go visit them or to call them up on the phone or send an email.
What do you recommend they think about and what do you recommend that chat, that discussion revolve around?
marjorie taylor greene
I think it's as simple as this.
Voters hired us to do a job, and we have to do our job, even when our job is hard.
And it's hard right now.
And the reality is, Republicans got to show up to work next week, and we need to do our job.
And we need to actually support our voters that sent us here.
And our voters that sent us here did not send us here to support Joe Biden's agenda and to support the Democrats.
and to support the continued destruction of America.
So it's really simple.
All we have to do is come to work next week, vote for this motion to vacate and do the work.
We have people in line that can step up and be speaker and do a hell of a lot better job fighting just even a little bit, Steve.
I'll take a little bit of a fight at this point, because what I'm hearing from everybody right now is what's the difference between Mike Johnson and Hakeem Jeffries, and there's not.
There's zero daylight between the two, because they're joined together in one big, uniparty leadership in Washington, D.C., and it has to end.
So this isn't complicated.
This is actually showing up to work and doing our job for a change instead of putting it in cruise control and just going along with the Washington establishment.
steve bannon
Let me be brutally frank.
When it was announced that Paul Singer has backed Johnson's holding onto the speakership and adding to the conference next year, which we clearly want to add additional seats, when he gave $100 million, I don't believe in coincidences.
unidentified
No, I did not know that.
steve bannon
The 300-page report that Jim Jordan, I give credit to his staff, it's quite frankly kind of brilliant.
Why that report was not put out a day or two in Information Warfare 101, why that was not put out a day or two before the start of the trial in New York City, Speaker Johnson's gonna have to answer.
Because I have heard directly that it was suppressed by the Speaker's office, and that's why it was not put out.
I have heard also that all this other stuff that Stefanik was working on, and Jordan, and now it's starting to come together.
We should have done this six months ago when they first got on top of Trump, but this is going on offense, and Speaker Johnson needs to answer one basic question.
We know you lied to everybody, you bald-faced lied to everybody, to their face.
On securing the southern border.
Bald-faced lie.
In addition, what is going on with all of this standing up for President Trump about a vast criminal conspiracy going on in the FBI and DOJ that clearly people in the House are working on it?
Why has it not come out sooner?
And why, knowing what was in these reports, because these reports have been worked on for months, And a very detailed, a very footnoted, how could you possibly fund the DOJ and the FBI before you had them down and had an accounting about this?
It is outright, those two elements alone, forget everything else, those two elements alone demand he be removed.
Demand he be removed.
If you're prepared to go along with this, if you're prepared to have your congressman go along with this, if the Republicans in the House are prepared to go along with this, then that means you hate MAGA, you hate the Republican conference, you hate the country, right?
And you're part of the conspiracy to actually take down Donald J. Trump.
Them's the facts.
Congressman Greer, where do people get you?
How do they contact you?
marjorie taylor greene
I'm in my official office.
You have to go to my official websites and social media sites.
Just look for Rep MTG.
Look for my official office.
Thank you so much, Steve.
steve bannon
Thank you, Congressman.
Thank you for being bold and brave.
You're going to take a lot of incoming.
I'll bring Todd Bensman, the best.
And Todd, when they called, this is to the editors of the New York Post, when you put on your cover, A patriot like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who's far from perfect, like President Trump is far from perfect, Stephen K. Bannon is far from perfect, even brother Todd Benson is far from perfect, but when you put on the cover of your newspaper One of the most widely read newspapers in the country, if not the world, and called her Moscow Marjorie and had the Russian hat on.
Did you guys know at the time that there was three and a half billion dollars in the bill to exacerbate and accelerate mass migration from the Middle East?
Because the New York Post whines every day about what's happening in Colombia.
All I hear is the whining and the whining and the whining.
That is because of programs at the State Department that has allowed that to happen.
And this is why we have to have a time of telling the truth.
No more hide the football, no more games.
The Murdochs are playing games.
They knew exactly what was in that bill and they're trying to divert attention.
This has nothing to do with the KGB, nothing to do with the guys in Moscow.
This is about the United States of America.
Todd, tell me, you've been all over all the games State Department's playing to basically accelerate getting illegal aliens into this country.
Is it three and a half billion dollars?
How shocked are you about that?
todd bensman
Well, they slipped it in.
Nobody really noticed at the last minute.
And I'm not terribly shocked that they did it.
We know that the State Department under Biden and also USAID have been just pouring torrents of cash into the NGO, the non-governmental organizations, that are assisting and facilitating the mass migration to the southern border in multiple ways, not just, you know, helping them cross illegally over the between ports of entry, but also with these refugee programs.
I'm going to put that in big air quotes that they're involved in right now.
And I think a lot of that money is going for the new refugee program.
And what that entails is turning regular economic Illegal aliens that are coming to get jobs and work in the U.S.
into war refugees like in places like Guatemala and Panama and Ecuador and then flying them right in and for the full, you know, legal permanent residency, leading very quickly to attract to citizenship.
This is the new third rail, or I guess fourth rail, of illegal immigration that the administration is trying out with these centers.
So this is funding for that.
They're putting these, you know, kind of shelter centers in place all over Latin America for this purpose right now to convert regular economic migrants into refugees somehow. I have no idea how they're doing that.
That's what that's all about.
But also the State Department has been funneling more money than ever before in the history of the State Department into these NGOs on both sides of the border. FEMA is doing it too. $480 million of that is going for resettlement efforts in the U.S.
That means that's going to go to places like Catholic Charities and HIAS and all these other NGOs to get rich, basically, on resettling all of these illegal immigrants coming over the border.
It's all State Department funded.
It's all U.S.
government funded.
It's all ultimately U.S.
taxpayer funded.
That's what happened here.
steve bannon
This is, by the way, you can tell on these college campuses, this is a big part of the problem.
That's why they all should be deported immediately.
Any kid on a foreign visa that's even sitting on the side cheering them, round up and ought to be deported.
Every faculty member here on some sort of visa or here's some sort of work permit, any faculty member that has supported this ought to be deported this afternoon.
Todd, before I go to break, I want to hold you through break, but I want you to go.
I just want to pull the camera back.
Trump said, hey, we shouldn't be diverting our attention by these colleges.
We got some on the border.
It's all inextricably linked, Mr. President.
It's the same problem, just in different places.
This is because of the invasion of this country.
In your estimation right now, the Biden administration admits they've allowed in eight million.
As we sit here today, Right.
As we sit here today, how many do what I call illegal alien invaders are in the country?
And how many do you project by the end of Biden's only term?
todd bensman
Well, I hadn't heard the eight million yet, but that sounds about right.
It sounds a little bit high from what the center goes by.
We think it's somewhere on the magnitude of six million actually confirmed inside the country, and that would include a couple of million gotaways.
We've never in the history of the country seen that many illegal aliens who crossed the border Get into the country to stay.
So that is historic all by itself.
Whatever the number is, the number is historic.
I think that we are seeing right now something on the order of 90% of everybody who reaches the border is being stamped right in to the country to stay.
And then there's this second, third, and fourth rail that I told you about earlier, like that refugee, that new refugee program, but also CBP-1, where they're flying them in, they're walking them in over the border.
Those are hundreds and hundreds of thousands A year between all of those.
They're kind of sneaking them all in.
You can't see it.
It's invisible.
You can't see them walking over the bridge.
You can't really see them being escorted through airports and that sort of thing and figure out what they are.
So it's not really visible.
So I think that by the end of the year.
We're probably going to have another, you know, million and a half come through, maybe a couple million in all these different ways, first rail, second, third and fourth rail, all these different programs that are being stood up, different channels that are seen and unseen.
Just remember that what you see at the southern border crossing in between ports of entry illegally is just one of those rails.
They've created what they call lawful pathways.
into the country, lawful, having like extra quotes around it.
So beware of that.
steve bannon
Todd, just hang on for us for one second.
I want to hold you through.
I know you've got a huge story breaking in Daily Mail.
We want to talk about also this culture.
People are shocked about all the illegal alien invaders being flown into Florida.
Todd reported that a month ago.
We'll talk about all that.
Also Axios, I think, has got a poll.
55% of the American people want mass deportation.
I don't think you've seen anything yet.
Look at these college campuses.
Look at this.
This is Sharia Supremacism and Neo-Marxism joined together.
And that's why it's kind of tough to tell, hey, even the guys on the other side, we're all part of the BLM thing.
I mean, come on.
We got to talk truth to power here, folks.
It's a moment to unmask and have a frank conversation.
But this is not going to go away.
It's only going to metastasize.
If I said, I told you back in, what, December, when it first started kicking up, hey, you watch it.
This is only going to get worse.
And you've seen these feckless administrators.
Birchgold.com.
We're going to talk, we're going to have Jim Rickards on here.

He's coming up shortly.
Birchgold.com, end of the dollar empire about the central bank digital currency.
The Fed's doing two things right now.
Printing money for these massive deficits that are killing you.
Because in doing that and financing this, we're embedding inflation like permanently.
That's why we have stagflation now.
Low to no growth and high inflation.
The lost decades of America are ahead of you.
That's why you got to go to birchgold.com slash Bannon right now.
Talk to the experts over there and get free the end of the dollar empire.
Do it today.
Todd Bensman.
You've got this amazing piece coming with Daily Mail.
I'm not sure it's quite up yet, but can you tell us about Columbia University and about what's going on there?
Because I have said the problem is not, and there's not agitators.
The agitators have been brought into this country.
agitators.
They have been brought into this country by Biden, by the State Department, by the Uniparty, they want all these folks in here and now you got them.
But the students, the problem is the faculty and the problem is the administration.
They support this.
They are Marxists.
They support what's going on.
Now this is a little out of control there.
Oh, get the police and help us out here.
Todd Benson, tell me about the Hall of Fame up in Columbia.
todd bensman
That's right.
This is Columbia's vaunted school of journalism where the Pulitzer Prizes are handed out, named after Joseph Pulitzer.
Pulitzer Hall today has an official school-endorsed shrine to the fallen, quote-unquote, journalists of Gaza on there.
And I took a look at all of these names on there, and, you know, 15 of them work for Al-Aqsa TV, which is a U.S. Treasury Department-designated terrorist organization.
Did they check before they put these things up?
Another 11 work for Palestinian Islamic Jihad propaganda organs.
Did they check that before the school of journalism?
steve bannon
Sure.
Hold, hold, hold.
Hang on.
Hit rewind.
Of course they checked it.
They're putting them on the Hall of Fame.
They know where they work for.
official designation by our Treasury Department of These are terrorist organizations, and Columbia School of Journalism, which is supposed to be the Harvard of journalism, the platinum standard, has honored these people.
Of course they knew who they were.
Won't me through it again, Todd.
People need to have their nose rubbed in this, that this is what's going on.
There are no good guys and bad guys up there.
You got these progressive Marxist professors that have brought this on.
Now you've got a combination of red and green.
You've got the jihadist Sharia supremacist with the Marxist.
And this is what you're going to get.
This is not about Israel.
It's not about the Jews.
This is about the United States of America.
Now you've got a witch's brew of this.
Hit me again, Todd Bensman, with exactly this Hall of Fame.
todd bensman
Right, this is the Columbia School of Journalism, man.
This is like the paragon of journalistic neutrality and high standards and fact-checking and triangulating facts.
Put up a shrine, a semi-permanent shrine, a tribute shrine to the fallen journalist of, quote-unquote, journalist of Gaza.
When just a cursory check of the people on that list would show that they're working for U.S.-designated terrorist entities, Al-Aqsa TV to name one, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the other, and Hamas.
These are Hamas-controlled propaganda outlets.
They're only used to materially support U.S.-designated terrorist organizations over there.
Without even noting anywhere on their shrine or on their website or without even really covering it, put this thing up, which is a school of journalism endorsement of these terrorists, basically.
In the United States, you know, we regard media outlets that work for ISIS and Al Qaeda As terrorists, just as bomb throwers, just as much as, you know, tapping on a computer.
It's dangerous.
And we will send hellfire missiles on these guys and have all over the world.
We kill them dead.
Here we have, in the context of the Israel-Gaza war, you have the School of Journalism, this high, you know, paragon of excellence in journalism, putting them all up on their wall in Pulitzer Hall.
For God's sakes without really double-checking now For full disclosure.
I graduated from the University of Missouri, which is a competing You know high-ranking school of journalism Got my master's degree there.
I don't think they're a whole lot much better than Columbia these days, but nevertheless Schools of journalism have, we have an expectation, I have an expectation of my alma mater.
steve bannon
They're all Marxists, they're all Marxists, they're all hate America, and I can't believe it.
Todd Bensman, as good a man as you are, as much as you dedicate your life to save your country, working with Texas DPS, Texas Rangers, the intelligence, what you're doing here, I can't believe you got a worthless degree.
A degree is worthless.
That's like getting a degree in filmmaking.
Todd, your other story about Florida is up.
We're going to put it back up.
I want everybody to know where to get your books, where they get you, because every book you've written has been so prescient.
Where they get the information, where they go to CIS, how they follow you on social media, brother, because you are a patriot and you are a hero.
todd bensman
Okay, yeah.
You can find me, BenzmanTodd at X. I'm on Getter.
I'm on True Social, LinkedIn.

Where do people go, real quickly, where do people go to see if you're going to go around and give talks?
I know people love seeing you in person.
Do you have any place on your website you put that up?
todd bensman
No, not really, but maybe I will.
unidentified
It's a good idea.
steve bannon
They don't teach that in the school of journalism.
Marketing, marketing your brand.
Benzman, we love your brother.
