There have been a number of cases just in the last few years that have fleshed this out and made clear that in this country we don't send anyone to prison if they believed that they were doing something that complied with the law.
In other words, what Justice Alito and Justice Thomas said in 2019.
Where Congress wants to require proof that a criminal defendant knew his conduct was illegal, it specifies that the violation must be willful.
In the context of this statute, a misdemeanor contempt of Congress different from every single other statute in our jurisprudence, the court found that willful in 1961 The court found that willful, willfully makes the fault, just means did you get a subpoena and did you comply with it?
That's not what willful means as a matter of law in the criminal context.
And here, the case is complicated because former President Trump invoked executive privilege
and reaffirmed that before the trial started, that he had invoked executive privilege.
This case raises a dynamic separation of powers issue.
We know from years and decades of case law that the president and a former president
has the authority to invoke executive privilege.
It's his prerogative, his or her prerogative, one day maybe her prerogative, but it's his
prerogative to invoke and it's presumptively valid when invoked in
It's not for Congress to determine whether it was an appropriate invocation or otherwise, and Congress cannot be the arbiter of how to respond to that.
steve bannon
Okay, thanks.
I've got great lawyers, and we're going to go all the way to the Supreme Court if we have to, but I want to say something specifically about the Justice Department.
Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, the entire Justice Department, they're not going to shut up Trump, they're not going to shut up Navarro, they're not going to shut up Bannon, and they're certainly not going to shut up MAGA.
If you look right here, you reporters, In the two and a half or three years we've been here, look at the rise of MAGA, look at the rise of Donald Trump.
If the election was held today, according to Harry Enten over at CNN, President Trump would win in a landslide.
All of this, besides the major legal issues that have to be addressed, all of this is about one thing.
This is about shutting down the MAGA movement, shutting down grassroots conservatives, shutting down President Trump.
Not only are we winning, we are going to prevail.
And every number and every poll shows that.
There's nothing that can shut me up and nothing that will shut me up.
me up. There's not a prison. There's not a prison. There's not a prison built. There's
not a prison built or jail built that will ever shut me up.
All victory to MAGA.
We're going to win this.
We're going to win at the Supreme Court.
And more importantly, we're going to win on November 5th in an amazing landslide with the Senate, the House, and also Donald J. Trump back as President of the United States.
Thank you very much.
unidentified
So I think this is the kind of rhetoric we would expect to see from Steve Bannon.
You know, he does have some ways to try to stay out of jail for the next couple of weeks.
They can make this emergency plea to the appeals court.
They can make an emergency plea to the Supreme Court.
But again, it's a pretty tight window between now and when the judge said he needs to report to prison.
steve bannon
And Donald Trump just reacted to the news.
unidentified
Yes, he's coming out in defense of Steve Bannon.
He called it a tragedy.
He went on to say, indict the unselected J6 committee for illegally deleting and destroying all of their, quote, findings, MAGA 2020.
I don't think that's accurate.
No, it is not accurate.
Yeah, so just moments ago, Judge Carl Nichols ordered that Steve Bannon report to prison by July 1st.
This comes nearly two years after the trial in which Bannon was convicted for defying the January 6th committee's subpoena for documents and testimony in connection with his actions after Donald Trump lost the election in 2020.
Judge Nichols said that he believed that there is no longer the original basis for the stay of the imposition of Steve Bannon's sentence that he originally came up with over a year and a half ago back in the fall of 2022 when he sentenced Steve Bannon to four months in federal prison because this has already worked its way up to the appeals court.
Now Steve Bannon's team wants the full panel of federal appellate judges, or rather the full federal appellate court to hear these questions, but a
three-judge panel already came back and denied his appeal. Ultimately, Bannon
could appeal this order that he report to prison by July 1st, but given what
we saw previously from the panel, it's a question of whether or not there's
much of a chance of that. So what we could see here is ultimately Steve Bannon
reporting to prison very soon, even as he continues to to raise these
issues on appeal of this case. And of course there's already a former Donald Trump
White House adviser Peter Navarro, who is currently serving his four-month
sentence in connection with his defiance of the January 6th committee. Andrea.
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies, 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 Thursday, 6th June, Year of Our Lord 2024.
We are going to get, we have to juggle a couple of things here this afternoon.
In the War Room, one is the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, is going to take the stage momentarily at Dream City Church in Phoenix, Arizona, where it's a balmy 103 degrees and there's a massive crowd.
Our own Brian Glenn is there.
We're going to go to Brian in a second.
I want to thank the Real America's Voice team, Harry and Ben Berkwam of the team, for being with me on my previously scheduled appointment that you just saw the call open about.
Also, we've got more D-Day.
I mean, every June 6th, as you know, we do D-Day commemoration where we get to this, including some things that I don't think were totally appropriate, okay?
Like, I don't think it's totally appropriate bringing Zelensky there to be rubbing up on people.
We'll get to that in a moment.
Like I said, we're gonna go As soon as President Trump takes the stage at Turning Point USA with Charlie Kirk and the team, they've had quite an undercard.
Carrie Lake, a bunch of people out there, set them on fire.
Think Andy Biggs, all that.
I want to make sure I get this out there because if we cut to President Trump, we may not be coming back.
Right now, I don't know if he's in the building or not.
I know there's a massive crowd there.
President Trump has not been there, I think, in 18 months.
It's a brutally hot day, 103 degrees, huge crowd, people standing outside.
Brian Glenn's going to join us in a moment.
Tomorrow at 5 30 p.m.
Eastern Daylight Time we're gonna be at the Dave Bratton myself are gonna be at the Powhatan Courthouse the Powhatan Courthouse down at Powhatan County in Virginia down there near Richmond on the green.
And we're going to have a we're going to have a rally.
We're actually going to try to do the 6 o'clock show.
My producers are working with the great team at Rav.
Also over at Lyndale TV.
We're going to try to go live at 6 o'clock.
So we're going to be there from 5.30 to 7.
I think it is.
It'll be Dave Brent and myself with House Freedom Caucus to kind of support the House Freedom Caucus, and it's Chairman Bob Goodes.
We'll be there tomorrow if you want to come by.
Of course, you know, I try to spend as much time as possible with the War Room Posse signing autographs or signing your hats, spending time and particularly getting selfies.
You guys are the best selfie people in the world.
If you want signing, if you want anything, the only thing I check when I sign something, make sure if I see it on eBay, man oh man, just kidding.
Obviously, a day in Normandy, the 80th, and the reason I think this one was so special was because of, and hey, if we hadn't had the election stolen, President Trump would have been there.
But, so divine providence, you know, so divine providence decided, right?
Incredible, because I think this is the last time, at least for some, like in 85 or 90, obviously, that you're going to see any of the veterans there.
A bunch were there today.
I think it's their last trip.
I think we have something on CNN.
Well, maybe I ought to do a little comment on mine.
This is why, if you remember this morning, when I was here for the first half hour of the D-Day show, Always our commemoration before Patrick O'Donnell jumped in with Dave Brat.
I talked about last, Next Man Up.
If you think about American military history and what's going on, a lot of the best get killed right out of the box.
Or as I say in my theory of war, these wars always get nastier.
The Revolution, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, particularly World War II, became just a brutal war of attrition, annihilation.
It got angrier and angrier and nastier and nastier.
The kind of Gata Damarung, not just the The bombing of the nuclear weapon at Nagasaki in Hiroshima, but the firebombing in Tokyo, I mean, they were playing for keeps.
They bombed Germany back into the Stone Age with the Red Army did coming across, not making any justifications or calling people's, their decisions into question.
You can't do that.
These folks were dealing with a situation of unconditional surrender.
They had to have the fascists and Nazis unconditional surrender.
But the concept of next man up, That's the MAGA movement, and right now you've got President Trump.
They're trying to destroy him, bankrupt him.
They've got him, and they're going to sentence him to prison on July 11th.
You think today... I turned it on Twitter for a little bit.
Is President Trump already up?
Okay, here's what we're going to do.
Right now, we're going to cut to Dream City Church in Phoenix, Arizona.
Turning point USA.
We've got President Trump.
Let's go right to Dream City.
I will jump in as necessary.
Let's go ahead and hit it.
unidentified
From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee, across the plains of Texas, from the state of shining sea,
from Detroit down to Houston, and New York to LA, well there's pride in every American heart, and we stand in

And I'm proud to be an American, but at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget all the men who died, who gave their life to me,

Cause there ain't no doubt out of this land, that I'm a fan of the USA.
And I'm proud to be an American, but at least I know I'm free.

I even wore a special tie here.
Because it represents the sun.
It's nice and sunny out.
And you got thousands of people outside that didn't get in, so I don't know about... I don't know if they're gonna be so thrilled.
But I'm thrilled to be back in beautiful Arizona with thousands and thousands of proud, hardworking American patriots, which is what you are.
And I want to thank a special person, Charlie Kirk, for his tremendous leadership, as well as everyone at Turning Point Action for making this event possible.
They're really helping with the election and doing a phenomenal job.

donald j trump
Great guy.
Great.
Wonderful patriot.
All of them are warriors, and sometimes it's not easy, I'll tell you, but they are really something very special.
A congressional candidate who's doing a really terrific job.
His election was rigged the last time, I will tell you that.
unidentified
You know, they don't like, they say, oh, please don't say that.
donald j trump
These elections, let me tell you, if we could have honest elections in this country, I would have stopped campaigning two weeks ago.
We would have had it made.
But we don't have that, so we're watching it very carefully, and I'm working my ass off to make sure we get too big to rig.
unidentified
Too big.
We want to be too big to rig.
donald j trump
You know, there gets to be a point where they can't rig it, so we have an expression.
Charlie and I were just talking.
It's called too big to rig.
unidentified
Congressional candidate Abe Hamadei.
donald j trump
Abe, thank you very much.
unidentified
And a friend of mine and a really incredible woman who's worked very hard, and she had another one of those elections.
donald j trump
The machines just happened to be broken.

Only the Republican machines, however.
donald j trump
Only that was a strange situation.
unidentified
Lines going back two miles.
donald j trump
And I'm sorry, sir, you'll have to come back about 12 o'clock in the evening.
The machines happen to be broken, but she's out there and she's a warrior.
I'll tell you.
And she's a very fine person and a great, great.
unidentified
She's a great family person and a great person who loves our country.
You're going to be your next senator.
She's got to be your next senator because she's running against somebody.
She's running against somebody who's for open borders.
donald j trump
Do you like open borders?
unidentified
I don't think so.
You gotta elect Carrie Lake.
She's gonna be fantastic.
Carrie Lake.
Carrie.
Thank you, Carrie.
donald j trump
She's incredible.
She's going to do a good job.
The campaign is just beginning.
And on this day, we remember and thank the immortal heroes of D-Day who landed at Normandy 80 years ago.
80 years.
unidentified
I spoke to some of them today, actually.
donald j trump
They're the hearts and they're in our hearts of this country.
They really are.
They're the heart of the country.
These are great people.
Greatest generation.
unidentified
Thank you very much.
It's true.
And it's really tremendous.
donald j trump
We talk about great people.
These are great people right before me.
And I appreciate you being here, especially in these numbers, these throngs.
But we have a job to do.
We have to make America great again.
We're going to do it.
We're going to do it better than ever.
unidentified
And we are going to do it better than ever before.
We had the best economy.
We had the best border.
We had the best of everything.
donald j trump
And now we got to do it all over again.
We're going to do it even better.
I just went through a rigged trial in New York with a highly conflicted, and I mean highly conflicted, judge, where there was no crime.
It was made up, fabricated stuff.
They didn't want to bring the case.
They could have brought the case seven years ago.
It's only when you run for office they bring cases.
But they would have done that seven years ago, think not in the middle of my presidential campaign, where we're beating Biden, by the way, by a lot.
Did you see?
And by the way, right after the announcement of this, more campaign funds were given to this campaign than any campaign they think in history.
Almost 400 million dollars, 400.
No, it's never been.
Nobody's ever seen, because they know it was rigged.
They know it's a corrupt system.
They know all about it.
But with your help, less than five months from now, and we're going, and I'll tell you what, we have to change the system.
We have to straighten out what's going on in these courts.
We got a rigged deal going, this whole country.
We got to do it, and those appellate courts have to step up and straighten things out, or we're not going to have a country any longer.
But we're going to win the great state of Arizona and we're going to tell crooked Joe Biden, you're fired.
You're doing a lousy job, the worst job, the worst president in history.
Joey you're fired. How did he do today?
Does anybody have a report?
unidentified
Oh, gee.
In a few moments, I will be taking questions.
donald j trump
In a few moments, I will be taking questions.
You know, I'm going to be taking questions.
So, I don't know.
I'm not like Joe.
Tell me who's going to.
You ever see that?
He's got a press conference that lasts for about two minutes.
And he goes like this.
He's reading a card.
NBC.
Jim.
unidentified
Jim.
donald j trump
And then they ask him a question, and he picks up the same paper, and he reads the answer.
They never did that with me.
No, we're going to have people asking questions.
Whatever they ask is okay.
Is anybody going to be watching the debate with this character?
You know, they they offered me this debate and they thought I wouldn't take it because
it's on CNN.
It's fake Tapper.
Does anyone know him?
Fake Tapper.
They wanted it to be sitting down, seated, and zero audience.
And they wanted it to be short, also very short.
And I said, I'll take it.
I'll take it.
Because you know what?
They thought I wouldn't take it, being on CNN.
And Dana Bash is very tough to trump.
Dana Bash, another beauty.
So I have Dana Bash and Fake Tapper.
And they thought, here's what we'll do.
We'll offer him the worst thing that could be offered.
These two anchors, Dana Bash, Fake Tapper, CNN, no audience, nobody.
Your children, your wife, nobody can be there.
Oh, that's going to be interesting for him, though, isn't it?
Nobody can be there.
They want you sitting down.
So I said, I'll take it.
They thought what was going to happen is that I'd say, I won't do it, and then they'll say, Trump doesn't want to debate.
I want to debate.
We should have many debates, frankly.
We really should.
Because we have to find out why they like open borders, where people pour in from.
Right, Paul?
Why do they?
Who could like an open border?
You know?
More importantly, why do they want... We're the party of common sense.
As an example, it's big stuff.
It's bigger than people think.
Why would anybody want to have men playing in women's sports?
Why?
unidentified
Why?
donald j trump
Do you see the records that are being set in weightlifting?
These are records that are not going to be beaten anytime soon, maybe in a thousand years from now.
But they're being and swimming and running, and it's so unfair and so horrible, really so demeaning to women.
Who would want this?
I mean, who would want it?
We are the party and we're conservative.
All that stuff.
But you know what?
More importantly, more importantly, with a party of common sense, we want strong borders.
We want a powerful military.
We don't want war.
We want to have great education for our children.
unidentified
We want to have low interest rates.
donald j trump
And we were energy independent just three and a half years ago, and today we're saying to Venezuela, we need your energy, please help us.
It's so sad, it's so pathetic.
We're going to lower your energy cost by 50% within one year.
We're going to drill, baby, drill.
We're going to get those prices way down.
But first, I want to talk to you about Crooked Joe's heinous and criminal obliteration of our southern border.
You people know better than just about anybody about the southern border because they are pouring through your state at levels nobody's ever seen before.
Two days ago, Joe Biden signed an executive order to officially declare his formal approval and support for the largest border invasion in the history of the world.
So this has been the largest invasion In history, we are being invaded.
This is not people coming in.
These are people coming in totally unchecked, unvetted.
They're pouring into our country.
Far from closing the border, Joe Biden's order.
This is his new order.
So he's getting killed in the polls.
People say that, look, this is really bad what's happening on the border.
So they come up with something that's fake.
Just like everything else they do, it's all fake.
The impeachments are fake.
The court cases are a disgrace to our country.
Everything is fake.
So they come up with this order.
I won't say it because I don't like using the word bullshit in front of these beautiful children.
So I won't say it.
I will not say it.
But this thing allows millions of people.
Millions of people into our country.
Joe Biden's order is pro-invasion, pro-child trafficking, pro-women trafficking, pro-human trafficking, pro-drug dealers.
And in all, it's really they bring death And they bring destruction into our country.
It's really pro-illegal immigration.
It's great for illegal immigration.
It doesn't do anything.
It makes it worse than what you have right now.
By the way, if he wanted to close the border, I didn't have to go to Congress.
I had the best border we've ever had.
I had the most secure border we've ever had.
You know, when I ran in 2016, I ran largely on the border.
Border was really bad.
I fixed it.
And when I ran in 2020, I said, I want to talk about the border.
And all of my geniuses said, nobody wants to hear it, sir.
Nobody wants to hear about the border.
I said, well, let's talk about that.
Nobody did it because I fixed it.
It was so good.
We couldn't talk about it.
It's pretty bad when you do such a good job that you can't talk about it.
But they said, don't talk about it.
They were right.
Nobody cared about it.
Because I fixed it.
The problem is this border is, I say, a hundred times worse than it was in 2016.
2016 was beautiful by comparison.
But we'll fix it again and we'll make it right because we're not going to have a country.
You know, without borders, you don't have a country.
Biden's action this week establishes an annual minimum of approximately 2 million illegal alien border crosses.
In other words, he thinks he's getting tough.
He's only going to allow 2 to 3 million people into our country.
Where do they come from?
Not including the millions that will continue to pour through as gotaways.
You know what got away?
Those are unreported people.
They got away.
It's called they got away.
It's a good name.
They walk into a country.
Nobody knows they're here.
That's not even including that Joe Biden is the worst president in the history of the United States by far.
He is destroying our country.
The only good thing, Jimmy Carter's a nice man.
Do we agree?
Jimmy Carter is a brilliant president.
Jimmy Carter is a brilliant president by comparison.
His administration, by comparison, is brilliant.
So is an older man.
Not feeling great.
And he's a nice person.
I know him a little bit.
Nice person.
But Jimmy Carter is happy now because he says that his administration is brilliant compared to Joe Biden.
Joe Biden is the worst president in history.
We have to win on November 5th, which will be the most important day in the history of our country.
I'm telling you, it will be.
I used to say...
In 2016, I'd say that.
Not with the same conviction, but I felt in 2016.
In 2020, I didn't have to say.
We had a country that was just amazing.
We had the greatest economy in history during that short period of time.
We had the greatest in history, the greatest jobs, greatest tax cuts.
Gave you the biggest tax cuts in history, biggest regulation cuts.
Everything was good.
But I'm telling you that this election coming up on November 5th, 2024, He's going to go down as the most important day because if we don't win, it's we, it's all of us, it's millions of people.
If we don't win, this country is finished.
I really believe that.
I think it's finished.
In addition, Crooked Joe's action dramatically expands the Biden migrant smartphone app.
Do you believe this?
He's talking about a smartphone.
He has no idea what a smartphone is.
That allows illegal aliens to gain free entry to be released into the United States at the push of a button.
Pretty hard.
You go like this, ding.
Welcome to America.
Biden's order is not a border security plan.
It's a concession to the fact that he has lost control over our border.
He's totally lost control over the border, and it's a really dangerous place.
He is conceding death.
And he's conceding defeat at the border.
On day one of my administration, I will be rescinding Crooker Joe's outrageous executive order.
And I will be slamming the door shut on the Biden migrant app.
And I will terminate every single open borders policy of the Biden administration.
As soon as I take the oath of office, it'll take place.
It will take place on the exact same day.
I don't need to wait weeks.
It's gonna be done on the same day that we take together.
We all take the oath of office, okay?
The result of Biden's action this week will be more innocent Americans killed by illegal alien criminals, more children trafficked and sold into slavery, and millions more illegal aliens pouring into our country.
And many will come through a very beautiful place known as Arizona, right?
Arizona.
I tell you, it's so sad to see what's happened here, right?
So sad.
Do you remember you had your sheriff, Sheriff Joe?
Huh?
Is he here?
I used to love that guy.
Where is Sheriff Joe?
Hey, Joe, come up here.
unidentified
Come up here.
Get up here, Joe.
donald j trump
Sheriff Joe.
No games.
There were no games.
There were no games being played with Sheriff Joe.
I didn't know he was here.
Come here, Joe.
I don't kiss men, but I kissed him.
We had a real border with this guy.
People said he was too tough.
Now they're saying, where is Sheriff Joe?
You know, he's 170 years old, but we want him back.
Joe, say something.
unidentified
Hold on.
I want to see your birth certificate.
He doesn't believe my age.
You think I'm 73?
I think you're 50.
I love this guy.
When NBC came up to me and said, John McCain, you're a hero.
And I paused.
Because four months before, I woke up and told my wife, thank you for everything you've done for Ava.
Never forget that.
Never.
So I said, about McCain.
I'm not gonna badmouth him.
You know, he still serves our country.
But when I woke up, I told my wife, I finally found the only hero I ever had in my life.
And that's him.
Thank you.
And I'm like the president.
I'm not a typical politician.
We talk too much sometimes.
But you know what?
You talk from the heart.
Unfortunately, you get in trouble for that.
And what he did for my wife, Ava, I will never forget it.
When my wife came down, my wife used to watch Fox, who I never watch anymore, except for your guy.
And because she used to watch Donald Trump.
And when I told Donald Trump about my wife, that she had cancer, he's called my wife, not once, seven times.
You didn't have to do that.
So all the media up there, you know, they badmouth me every day.
I love the media that badmouths me.
My polls keep going up.
So keep badmouthing.
You're doing him a favor, too.
Keep badmouthing.
So anyway, Mr. President, from the heart, and by the way, June 14, you and I, birthday, same day.
Thank you.
You look fantastic.
Thank you, Joe.
Thank you, Joe.
Thank you.
donald j trump
Grab that railing, Joe.
You did perfect.
You don't want to pull a Biden.
Thank you.
This guy did some job on the border.
You know, he wasn't appreciated, actually.
And now he's appreciated because you understand what he did.
He did an amazing job and good man.
Great wife had a great wife, actually.
And thank you very much.
I didn't know you were here, Joe, actually.
And I'm glad you were.
If Joe Biden truly wanted to sign an executive order to stop the invasion, he only needs a single — think of it — a single sentence.
And it would say, I hereby immediately reinstate every single border policy of a gentleman named Donald J. Trump, who is President of the United States.
Less than four years ago, I handed Joe Biden the strongest, most secure border in U.S.
history.
We built 157 miles and some people say 571 miles.
We added 157.
We're ready to get it up.
It was going to go up to 200 and they didn't want to put it up.
But we built 571 miles of wall.
It was going to go up to 200, and they didn't want to put it up.
But we built 571 miles of wall.
We were going to add over 200.
They ended up selling.
It was all made.
All we had to do was flip it up.
It was going to go up very quickly.
Then we had a horrible thing happen during the election.
You know better than us.
And they ended up selling it for five cents on the dollar.
Very expensive stuff.
Just what the Border Patrol spec'd.
They wanted steel.
They wanted concrete.
They wanted rebar.
They wanted 7,000-pound concrete.
They wanted hardened steel.
It was very good stuff.
And they wanted the panel on top.
That was called an anti-climb panel.
I never liked it visually, but I said, it does work.
We checked it.
The same guys, we hired mountain climbers.
Can you believe?
From Mount Everest.
That's pretty good.
And they couldn't get up when you had the anti-climb panel.
This is — I'm giving you these little trivia facts.
The panel on top, I hated it because I said, it doesn't look good.
But then when I found out they couldn't climb with the panel, without the panel, they had no problem.
I said, let's put the panel in.
It looks useful.
But we ended all of the catch-and-release.
We shut down asylum fraud.
We had remain-in-Mexico, safe third agreements, and Title 42.
And we brought illegal immigration to the lowest level on record under the Trump administration.
If you crossed our border illegally, you got caught.
we sent you back to the place from which you came.
And you know, they weren't allowed to do that with Obama and Biden.
unidentified
Bye.
donald j trump
When I first came in, I said, you got to get them out.
MS-13.
We took out thousands of MS-13 criminals.
We sent them back to their place.
You had plenty of them here.
We got them all out.
But I was told, sir, you're not going to be able to do that.
Why?
Because Honduras And El Salvador, some of the other countries, they wouldn't take them back under any circumstances.
They wouldn't take them back.
I said, what do you mean?
We put them in buses.
They block the roads.
We put them in planes.
They put big planes on the runway so you couldn't land.
They won't take them back.
How long has that been going on for?
10 years, 12 years?
It's been going on for a long time.
I said, how much money do we pay those countries?
Sir, we give them 750 million a year for economic development.
Okay, you do.
$750 million.
Okay, as of effective immediately, inform them they're not getting the $750 million.
That was in the evening.
That was on a Thursday evening.
On Friday morning, like early, 7.30 in the morning, I got almost simultaneously three calls, not coordinated, separate calls from the heads of the three countries.
And I said, what's up?
It's early in the morning.
Sir, we understand that you're upset about something.
Please, there must be a misunderstanding.
I said you won't take the criminals that you send over in caravans, and they have a lot to do with it.
They put the people that they don't want in those caravans.
You won't take those criminals back.
And you're not getting any more money from the United States at all.
Sir, there must be a misunderstanding.
We would be honored to take back MS-13 criminals.
And we started sending them back by the thousands, by the thousands.
But when crooked Joe Biden got in, he took the most secure border in U.S.
history and he quickly turned it into the worst border nightmare I believe in the history of the world.
There's never been a border where they allow 18 million people, and I think that's the real number as of now.
18 million people.
In April, border crossings were up 1,000% compared to the same month last year.
1,000% compared to last year.
And by the way, last year it was 1,000% compared to the year before.
It is.
There's never been anything.
A guy like Sheriff Joe must be going crazy when he hears this.
If one person got it, he'd go wild.
One person.
How do you feel about tens of thousands?
How do you feel about millions of people?
Millions of people.
In total.
Crooked Joe, Biden has imported more illegal aliens than the populations of 40 out of our 50 states.
And soon that's going to be a much higher number.
It could even almost stop.
I think it's going to end up topping.
If this, I'll tell you what, if this guy got reelected, the country is finished.
Your border is finished.
You won't have You won't have a country anymore.
It'll be a disaster.
Just on this one issue, and we're not talking about nuclear proliferation, we're not talking about all the other issues that he has no idea what the hell he's talking about.
You know, if you think about it, Ukraine being attacked by Russia would have never happened.
Would have never happened.
Just wouldn't have happened.
For a lot of reasons, including the fact that energy was much cheaper.
And Russia makes its money with energy, basically.
But Putin would have never done it.
Wouldn't have happened.
And it never did.
You know, people said, well, how does he know it wouldn't happen?
Because for four years, it never did.
And watch China and Taiwan.
Watch what's going on with that.
Another thing, Israel would have never been attacked, ever.
Would have never been attacked.
Iran was broke.
Iran was broke.
They didn't have money to give out to Hezbollah, to Hamas.
Iran was broke.
Israel would have never been attacked.
And you know what else?
Just to add, I could say 30 different things, but just to add one more, you wouldn't have had any inflation.
We had no inflation.
We were down at a number so perfect.
And now you're suffering with numbers that nobody's ever seen before.
And it's all unsustainable.
But the Biden invasion is no accident.
It's a deliberate demolition of our sovereignty and of our borders.
Somehow, somebody is going to explain to us why they would want this to happen.
I guess it's probably votes.
They probably think these people are going to be voting.
And interestingly, I don't know if you just came across the wires.
I'm leaving now with Hispanic voters.
Isn't that good?
unidentified
So, I don't know, maybe they're wasting their time.
donald j trump
Upon taking office, Joe Biden stopped the completion of that wall.
He instituted catch and release across the entire southern border.
And he releases them in our country.
I had catch-and-release, too.
You know what my catch-and-release was?
I released them in Mexico.
How about the Remain in Mexico?
I started something that we never had before.
Remain in Mexico.
And Remain in Mexico, you had to see Tijuana.
It's probably the fastest-growing city in the history of the world.
Hundreds of — they couldn't come into our country until we checked them out, and most of them didn't check out.
He knowingly ripped up The remain in Mexico policy, which was not easy to get.
You know, when you go to Mexico, you say, listen, we want to have hundreds of thousands, even millions of people standing by the border on your side.
They're not allowed.
You think that was an easy thing to get?
And I got it.
And I got twenty eight thousand soldiers free of charge from Mexico.
And I said, if you're not going to give them to me, if you're not going to give them to me, you're going to charge you a nice, big, beautiful fat tariff of 25 percent, 50 percent, it'll go up to 100 percent.
And they said, we would be delighted to give you 28,000 soldiers, sir.
And now, last week, I heard they want to charge the United States billions of dollars, billions, just for the privilege of sitting down with them and negotiating.
Can you imagine?
Can you imagine?
They wouldn't be doing that with us.
We will flee.
Think of it.
He terminated my Safe Third Agreement.
It's a big deal.
Safe Third is a big deal.
He rescinded Title 42.
People are allowed into our country that are very sick with disease that can be easily spread, and they're allowed into our country.
It's a big problem, too.
You see that.
He threw open the gates to millions of fighting-aged males.
From all over the planet.
You saw that?
29,000 people from China.
Everyone looks like he's ready for the military.
It's like... I said, are we crazy or what?
What the hell are we doing to our country?
This guy is so incompetent.
He's so bad.
And the only chance they have is all of this weaponization stuff they're going after everybody.
If they focus the same energy on making America great again, it'd be... I probably wouldn't have even run.
I ran because I saw such stupidity.
And I won because you all agreed with me.
And the very first bill that Crooked Joe sent to Congress was a plan to give mass amnesty
to millions and millions of illegal aliens, even if we don't know anything about them.
unidentified
And I'm going to be a good man.
donald j trump
And, you know, they take care of them, but they don't take care of our vets.
I had a 92 percent approval rating with our vets.
The VA now it's.
If Joe Biden wins this election, he wants to turn every single illegal alien That he let in across the borders into a voting citizen.
I believe that's the only reason this is happening because nobody could want it.
There's no other reason that this is a good thing.
And for that, you know, it's interesting.
They cheat so much.
They don't really need that.
That's the way I look at it.
So I almost don't even think that's the reason.
But it probably is.
By contrast, I want to send Joe Biden's illegal aliens back home where they belong.
unidentified
They have to go back home.
donald j trump
Because quite simply, Joe Biden wants an invasion.
I want a deportation.
I want a deportation.
Gonna have to send him, because it's not sustainable.
It's not sustainable.
Look, there's Mr. Wall right there.
Stand up.
Look at that suit.
I love that suit.
I love that suit!
You look sharp.
By day, he's a CPA who does very well.
Look at him, he's the greatest.
He's been to about 200 rallies, I think, right?
Pretty close.
That's great.
That's cool.
We built a lot of wall.
On day one, I will seal the border, I will stop the invasion, and we will begin the largest domestic deportation operation in the history of our country.
I have no choice.
We have no choice.
Biden has given us no choice.
Under crooked Joe Biden, the world is emptying out their prisons and sane asylums and mental institutions.
It's emptying out all of these places at levels that nobody's ever seen and sending us the most vicious criminals, savage gang members.
Sadistic cartels are pouring into our countries, loaded up with horrible, horrible criminals, and they're pouring into our countries at level — our country at levels never seen before.
We've never seen anything like this before.
And it's only going to get worse.
You see what's going on in New York where they're fighting?
They're having fistfights with policemen in the middle of the streets.
Fistfights.
I've seen people get shot.
I've seen a lot — fistfights.
I mean, those are long-term.
And it's horrible.
Nobody's ever seen.
And in their country, they'd be executed immediately if they did it.
They know that.
But it's taken them a little while to get acclimated.
You're going to have migrant crime added to regular crime at levels that nobody has ever seen before anywhere in the world.
That's what's happening.
And I have to say, Arizona is being turned into a dumping ground for the dungeons of the third world.
They are all coming in.
In Venezuela, Crime.
Think of this.
Venezuela.
Next time we'll meet in Venezuela.
It'll be safer.
In Venezuela, crime is down 72% because they've taken their criminals from Caracas and all of these different places, and they've dumped them in the United States.
They're emptying out the jails all over the country.
All over our country, we're being affected, and affected badly.
And all over the world, if you look, the jail populations are at the lowest levels they've maybe ever been at.
I mean, they're at levels that nobody's seen for 25, 30 years.
and also mental institutions.
They're taking people out, very, very sick people, and they're dumping them into the United States.
Congratulations, by the way.
They're dumping them into the United States of America.
The mental institutions throughout the world, and I'm not talking about South America.
I'm talking about in Africa, the Congo.
They're letting their prisoners from the Congo, rough guys, come into the United States.
Congratulations.
They're letting people come in from Asia.
They're letting people come in from all over the world.
The Middle East, they're coming in from Yemen.
They're coming in from all over.
They're coming in by the millions, and they're coming in from the prisons and the mental institutions.
And can you imagine the money they're saving?
And can you imagine how much nicer it is?
But Venezuela, the crime is down 72% because they don't have their criminals.
They're taking their gang members in a rough fashion and they're busing them into our country.
And there may be, is there any criminal from Venezuela in the room?
Please raise your hand.
There probably is, we just don't know about it.
No, but think how bad that is.
And I do it.
If I were the head of these countries, Honduras, El Salvador, I would do it in a heartbeat.
Anybody.
It's all over the world we're talking about.
I would I would be.
I have to say, I would be the first one that would have done it.
And I wouldn't be having 50% jail populations.
I'd be down to zero.
They'd all be in the United States of America, getting money for all of the different things that they get.
They get cell phones.
They get hospitalization.
They get education.
Even though they can't speak a word of English, they're taking the seats of people and the instructors talking English.
And they have somebody speaking, in some cases, languages that we'd never even heard of.
You know, there are a lot of languages that we don't have here.
We have nobody that even speaks these languages.
And they're sitting down in a school, taking a student's place that might be a hard-working, good student, a citizen, the child of citizens, and they're taking their place.
Our country is going to hell, and we're going to stop it.
We're going to stop it on November 5th.
Just this week, two brave officers of the New York Police Department.
These are great people, by the way, the New York's finest.
And they are.
They are fine.
They are fine people.
They're great people.
Were shot in Queens, Queens, New York, by a Biden migrant who Crooked Joe released into our country.
This monster infiltrated from Venezuela and was quickly given administrative amnesty by Joe Biden.
He got amnesty, along with taxpayer-funded hotel room, which is a very nice room, by the way, very luxurious.
Well, he engaged in multiple suspected robberies before shooting two of our finest people, two of New York's finest, as we call them, in Palm Beach County, Florida, last month, an illegal alien criminal who Joe Biden released into the United States.
was charged for kidnapping an 11-year-old girl from her front yard and sexually assaulting her in the back of a van.
And, of course, there was this horrific case of Lakin Riley, who's incredible.
I met the parents.
They may be here.
The young nursing student, beautiful person, beautiful, top of her class, everything, from Georgia, who was savagely beaten and murdered by A bloodthirsty Biden migrant allowed in through Biden after Crooked Joe set him loose into our country.
They set him loose right into our country.
Instead of apologizing to Lakin Riley's family, Joe Biden apologized to her killer for calling him illegal.
Do you remember that?
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Oh, I'm so sorry I called him illegal.
He actually apologized.
He apologized to this guy.
And remember when Biden could not even pronounce Lakin's name correctly in the probably the worst state of the union anyone's ever heard.
Under the Trump administration, we will not be apologizing to illegal alien criminals.
We will be putting them behind bars and throwing them out of our country rapidly.
With his actions on the border, Joe Biden is the ringleader of one of the most vile criminal conspiracies of all time, aiding and abetting human traffickers, child smugglers and terrorist That's what he's doing.
They have no fear.
They know nobody's going after them.
They can do whatever they want.
And that goes with drugs.
More drugs are coming into our country right now than at any time in our history, times five or times six.
We've never had massive amounts of drugs pouring into our country.
We fought it like hell.
We were fighting.
And by the way, you'll never solve the problem without the death penalty.
When I was...
When I was in China, I was with President Xi, 1.4 billion people, strong guy.
And we got along well until COVID.
I said, hell with it, man.
It wasn't what they what they unleashed on the world was incredible.
But we got along well.
And he was going to stop the fentanyl coming into the United States.
But I said to him, do you have a — the first meeting, a little naive question, but it's all right.
Not so bad.
Do you have a drug problem?
No, no, no.
I do not have a drug problem.
No, don't you have any?
No, we have no drug problem.
Why?
Swift trial.
I said, what is swift trial?
Swift trial.
What swift trial is, they give — they catch the drug dealer, and they gave him a swift trial, meaning a very fast trial.
At the end of the trial, if he's guilty, they execute him.
Every drug dealer, every drug dealer in China said, let's get the hell out of here.
Let's go to the United States where you don't even get a slap on the wrist.
And I don't know that our country is ready for it.
And I'll be honest with you, if you really knew the stats, a drug dealer on average during that drug dealer's life will kill approximately 500 people.
Do you know that, Paul?
500 people will die.
Families, family members, children, young children, girls, boys, parents sometimes, too.
500 people on average.
And when you hear that, it doesn't sound so severe.
You know, we would set up blue-ribbon committees at the White House.
We'd get socialites from New York, even socialites from Arizona.
They'd sit around the table.
They'd talk about it for Five minutes, and then they'd start talking about what restaurant they're going out to dinner.
This is not... These people are really tough and they're smart, the cartel people.
They run these things like the best corporations in the country.
They say they run more efficiently.
They know how to do it.
They're horrible people.
They're killing hundreds of thousands of Americans each year.
And when I mentioned it, and I do it, I do it purposely.
I mentioned the death penalty.
And without it, you're never going to solve the problem.
If you look at Singapore, if you look at other, the only countries essentially that don't have a problem.
Are people with either really strong crime prevention or countries with the death penalty?
And Singapore is another one.
They don't even know what you're talking about when you say, do you have a drug problem?
Do you have a drug problem?
No, we don't have a drug problem.
Why would we have a drug problem?
We have an unbelievable drug problem.
We lost last year, in my opinion, 300,000 people.
That's bigger than a war.
That's bigger than a war.
And so many times, they're young people.
And so many times, it was a mistake.
They thought they were taking something else.
If you take the head of a pin and put something, a little fentanyl, on the head, if it's a little bit larger than the head of a pin, you're dead.
You have no chance.
And this is pouring in from China.
And I had a deal with President Xi.
He was going to give the death penalty to anybody manufacturing fentanyl in China and selling it to the United States.
But then when the election was rigged and didn't turn out right, He didn't have to do anything.
And this group definitely didn't want to pursue that.
But we had a deal.
They weren't going to be sending the fentanyl into us anymore.
But we have to do something with Mexico.
300,000 people are dying a year.
Those are the real numbers.
They like to say 100.
They like to say 90.
It's been that number for a long time.
It's 300,000 people, and it's probably more than that.
And we're going to have to take very strong action, because we can't let that happen.
That's like being in a war.
You take a look at the Civil War.
You take a look at wars that we've had, where the numbers are not so much more than that.
Double for the Civil War.
That was a war within our country.
And you take a look at this.
We cannot let this stand any longer.
We cannot take it from China, from Mexico, from anywhere else.
We have to clean out the problem.
And the people that do it, the tougher they are, the less of a problem they have.
It's a very simple...
It's actually a very simple solution.
In addition to all of the Biden migrant crime, stealing innocent American lives, Crooked Joe is also responsible for more women and children being sold into slavery than anyone else in modern history.
Because we are so weak on the borders now.
We were so strong.
This guy goes to the beach all the time.
You ever watch him in a bathing suit?
Somebody told him he looks good.
Oh, Joe, you look great in a bathing suit.
You know, you're 82 years old.
You look fantastic.
He can't lift the chair.
The chair weighs about three... You know those chairs?
Aluminum?
Hollow aluminum.
They weigh like... They're built for old people to lift and for children to lift.
He can't lift.
Well, today he couldn't get up, right?
That was not good.
What the hell happened to him today?
It's always an adventure.
He falls out of airplanes, he falls out of helicopters.
What the hell is going on?
But because of Biden's policies, millions and millions of children have been separated from their families and pushed into the hands of the coyotes and the cartels.
And, you know, 88,000.
I don't know if you do.
If it were me, it would be the biggest story.
Eighty eight thousand children are missing.
You know, the eighty eight.
Think of that.
88,000 children are missing under this administration, and they have no idea.
And unfortunately, many of those children are dead, just like many of the hostages held by Hamas are dead.
When they can't make a deal, you know when they can't make a deal, that's a big problem.
And they're finding out that a lot of them are gone.
A lot of these people are gone right now.
But there's a thing, again, It never would have happened.
October 7th, Israel, the attack on Israel, would have never, ever happened under the Trump administration.
When I'm president, I will use Title 42 to end the trial.
