Speaker Time Text
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.
unidentified
The people have had a belly full of it.
kash patel
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
kash patel
Kicking off the second hour here in the dojo in the swamp of the War Room,
Stephen K. Bannon pinch-hitting here at Cash Patel.
We've got the great Chip Roy, congressman from Texas, the author of the SAVE Act, and we outlined it with great detail through his brilliance in the last segment, and I asked him to stay on just for a little bit because the CR component and how it actually can have a chance of becoming law is the next segment.
And, Congressman, I'm happy to report just in the break itself Social media was exploding on your detailed delivery as to what the SAVE Act's history is and what it intends to fix.
So can you give the audience a little roadmap of what's coming, what is a CR, and what happens if you're able to attach it to this vehicle?
chip roy
Sure.
Thanks, Cash.
First of all, because we passed this out of the House in July, we know Republicans support it unanimously, and five Democrats voted for it.
That's not a small thing.
kash patel
Wow.
chip roy
So now the question is, how do you put pressure on the Senate and how do you put pressure on the White House?
So now enter the spending fight.
September 30th is the government funding deadline.
Now we conservatives, when we fought on the Speaker's side a year and a half ago, and broadly speaking, we do not like just kick the can down the road, quote, continuing resolutions to continue funding at the current year's level.
We've passed this year five out of 12 appropriations bills.
We're not going to be able to get them all done in September.
We can debate whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.
We can point fingers, but it doesn't matter.
The fact is, there will be some sort of continuing resolution that comes up in September.
Our perspective, one that President Trump supported as early as July, in fact, I believe it was the Thursday or Friday before he was shot, that he put out a supporting statement for attaching the SAVE Act Two, any moving appropriations vehicle, notably a continuing resolution.
So when we get back next week, I believe that Mike Johnson will put on the floor a continuing resolution into 2025.
That's important.
Why?
Because we don't want to give Democrats the pen in December.
We don't want to let them have any more say in spending priorities.
We want to kick it all to a Trump administration, allow us to make the decision next year in 25, and attach the 2020, I'm sorry, attach the SAVE Act to the continuing resolution that will put it into March.
That means we'll have a fight in September, and the War Room Posse needs to load up and make sure everybody in Congress knows you all support it.
Every patriot in America should support.
Yes, we'll fund a government into March, even though it has a lot of crap in it, we don't It will fund stupid crap at the FBI, and it'll fund an incompetent Secret Service, and it'll fund the border situation.
But what we want to do is say, we're going to give this to President Trump's administration to fix, and we're going to demand that our elections are secure.
That's our message in September, because that's a singular focus message that we believe we can win.
No, I don't like a lot of the crap that would be in a continuing resolution.
But the upside is, it's a spending freeze at current levels, We attach the SAVE Act and we go browbeat Democrats if they want to oppose only citizen voting, and we kick the funding into a Trump administration.
It is not perfect, but it's a damn good approach heading into the election.
kash patel
No, that is a great outline in detail of how Congress operates and how when you have smart people like yourselves at the helm, you can negotiate for the priorities of the American people that matter and also give Republicans the opportunity under a hopeful Trump administration to address the rest that we can't address right now.
So this is actually a well thought out measure.
So, Congressman, thanks so much for joining us.
But where can everybody go?
Where can the War Room Posse go specifically, not only to help you, In this initiative and others but who and where can they call on members of Congress in the House in the lead up to this week's CR vote?
chip roy
Sure, I would make sure that all of your members of Congress know how you think about this.
There are going to be some conservatives, some good friends of mine, good friends of yours, who don't love it because it's a CR.
I hear, I hear them.
I agree that it's not perfect, but you need to let them know, hey, don't let the perfect get in the way here.
Let's get it to March.
Let's make sure President Trump has the pen and let's make sure we have the say back.
Follow me on CHIP, R-O-Y-T-X, Chip Roy TX.
On Twitter or at Roy.House.Gov.
We're going to have a hearing on the SAVE Act in the Constitution Subcommittee, which I chair in September.
Follow that.
Follow what we do in the Judiciary Committee.
Make sure you let the Speaker know you support this plan.
President Trump supports this plan.
And we're going to try to go help save America.
kash patel
Well, Congressman, thanks so much.
Our immediate responses on social media tell me that you are kicking butt for the American people, and I wish we had more warriors like you.
Good luck down there in Texas.
Enjoy your holiday with the family, and come back fighting.
We need you, sir.
Thank you so much.
chip roy
Thanks, Cash.
God bless.
kash patel
Rolling into our next guest is, as we talked about kicking off the show, an opportunity for Republicans to take the Senate.
And the three states we were talking about, West Virginia, we already got wrapped up with Jim Justice, Bernie Moreno in Ohio is the next guy, and Tim Sheehy in Montana, a former Navy SEAL, a buddy of mine.
We've had numerous colleagues together over the years, and I got to meet him at the Gun Owners of America.
Annual convention, 50,000 strong in Knoxville, Tennessee.
And this guy is going to help us tip the scales.
And you would think Montana, hmm, it's probably Republican.
Well, no.
Actually, it hasn't been Republican in multiple terms when it comes to the United States Senate.
So, Tim, thanks so much for joining us.
Can you give us an update on the status of your race and what you guys are doing up there to secure the elections and integrity?
for Montanans when it comes to Election Day?
unidentified
Well, we're tied right now, Cash.
We are ahead slightly.
We have been ahead.
But, you know, they're going to dump in the unlimited out-of-state dark money that they always have.
And they're going to pull every dirty trick they can here in the last 60 days to try to hang on to this Senate majority that they have.
And as you correctly stated, we are the firewall.
If we win Montana, we win the Senate.
Conversely, if we don't win Montana, the Senate stays Democrat.
And as you well know, when Donald Trump wins in November, he needs a Senate.
To advance his agenda, to get anything done, and frankly, most importantly, to ensure that we continue to protect the integrity of our judiciary.
And as we push through cabinet nominees for our executive agencies, which you well know are far outside their constitutional writ here in the 21st century, we need to make sure these cabinet nominees that get pushed through the Senate are people who will put the Constitution and put America first.
kash patel
And so while you've been out there, and I know, look, maybe people don't know this about you, but you're a wildly successful businessman, a Navy SEAL, Special Forces guy, served this country bravely, injured in the line of duty, and went back to Montana and built a tremendous business and then said, you know what?
You got called upon.
to participate in one of the greatest, most important, consequential races of this election cycle.
And you said yes.
Can you tell us the headwinds you're running into?
Can you tell us what are the things you want to highlight for the War Room Posse when it comes to what's important in Montana and how that's also important?
Those issues are important for everyday Americans across the country.
unidentified
You're right, Cash.
And thank you for couching it like that, because that's what this election is about.
It's about common sense.
It's about It's not even about Republican Democrat anymore.
This is about bringing common sense back to our country.
It's about securing our border.
It's about safe streets, cheap gas.
Cops are good.
Criminals are bad.
Boys are boys.
Girls are girls.
These are pretty simple things that the vast majority of Americans all agreed on not too long ago.
And now they're trying to divide us along these lines of common sense.
And, you know, the headwinds we're facing here are, of course, you know, a friendly media to any Democrat candidate.
They will twist the words of anybody to ensure that the Democrats, especially Powerful incumbent Democrats like Jon Tester have every possible favorable, uh, you know, news outlet that they can batting form every single day.
They have tremendous amounts of cash from coast to coast.
We're seeing sometimes a three to one spending disadvantage for Republican against Democrat candidates.
But I'm proud to say in the last 14 months, since I launched this election, I've never run for anything before, not student council, not Congress.
This is the first time I've ever run for a political office.
Now we've been outspent some months.
We've been outspent, you know, five to one, 10 to one.
Uh, yet we've gone from 0% name ID to leading in this race consistently.
And that's because we're focused on the common sense issues that you just mentioned that are driving Montanans nuts.
They're looking at their grocery bills, looking at their gas bills.
They're looking, farmers or ranches are looking at executive agencies that are trying to take their water rights away for irrigation.
We're looking at a project in this state, uh, like railroad bridges collapsing, like the St.
Mary's siphon, you know, that provides agricultural irrigation for our highline farms.
We can't get funding to fix that, yet we're told for $200 million we could irrigate, you know, a one-fifth of Montana's agricultural land.
Yet, we don't have the money to do that, but we'll send $200 billion overseas to other countries.
So, the headwinds have been heavy.
However, we've got a lot of great support.
We do have a Republican governor, a great Republican Secretary of State, Chrissy Jacobson, and a great Republican Attorney General, Austin Knutson.
All three of them are working to ensure that Montana's elections are secure and fair this fall.
And listen, as Republicans, we want people to vote in person, voter ID, day of the election.
But guess what?
That's not the law of the land.
So we need to ensure this fall that Republicans are getting out the vote any way they can.
Vote early, vote absentee, vote in person, any which way you can through the mail.
You got to make sure your vote's counted.
Harvesting ballots is legal.
We may not like it, but guess what?
We're allowed to do it.
So we need to ensure that Republican votes show up and are counted this fall, and they will be here in Montana.
kash patel
I gotta echo, that's so important.
We gotta win with the rules on the book right now if we have any chance of changing the rules on the book.
So I'm so happy you said that.
And in the last minute that I have you, Tim, can you just talk to us about that great leadership trio you mentioned?
Your AG, your state secretary of state, and your governor.
What are they doing?
I think they're doing some great stuff up there in Montana that I wish the rest of the country knew about.
Maybe the War Room Posse can help you get it out there.
To ensure election integrity, to ensure illegals don't vote.
Illegals who are committing crimes in your communities in Montana don't vote in these elections.
I think it's just a powerful message that you guys can deliver to the rest of the nation and show how important your Senate race is.
unidentified
We are the firewall for the future of this nation.
This race will decide control of the Senate, and that's hugely important.
And our state government, as we know, a lot of people aren't aware of this, but, you know, elections happen at the precinct, county, and state level.
And our state is doing everything they can They're doing a great job to make sure every ballot is counted.
They're counted fairly, and this election will be secure.
So Republicans across Montana got to show up and vote.
Folks who aren't in Montana, you can support us at tim4mt.com because, listen, it's going to take, unfortunately, votes win elections, but money fuels elections.
We're going to need your help to get this across the finish line and save America here in November.
kash patel
Well, Tim, I appreciate you coming on, and I was so glad to cross paths with you in Tennessee.
Had some fun with your radio buddies up there in Montana.
I look forward to hitting the campaign trail with you, because as you said, we've got to push this thing over the finish line with the rules we have on the books.
I'm so happy we have a brave warrior veteran, all-American candidate up there in Montana for us to highlight the importance of this race.
Good luck on the trail, and we'll make sure the War Room Posse reaches out and helps you in any way you can.
Thank you, my friend.
unidentified
Thanks, Cash.
We've got to save America.
God bless.
kash patel
Have a great day.
So we got a couple more guests coming up, but we'll take them in the next segment.
I would be remiss if I did not talk about how awesome my Trumpamania t-shirt was.
And Cameron's looking at me, putting his head down.
But yes, I am wearing a Trumpamania.
Oh, look at the rest of it!
unidentified
Boom!
kash patel
It's all there.
If you want to get one, go to basedapparel.com.
Go to basedapparel.com.
Yes, I have no shame.
I don't care.
No, I'm not going to rip off the t-shirt like Hulk Hogan did, but you guys can do that after you order yours and record it and send it in to the War Room Posse, and maybe we'll play your clip.
Now, I want to talk to you real quick while I got you about bringing Government Gangsters the movie, not this bad, boring book, but the movie that Steve Bannon, the honcho of the dojo, turned into a film.
WarRoom.film, WarRoom.film.
But I'm going to make a special offer that I haven't run by anyone.
If you and your communities want to see this movie in a theater near you, email info at warroom.film.
Email info at warroom.film.
And if you can guarantee a hundred of us in that theater, we'll give you the movie.
That's right.
I'm going to get yelled at, but I don't care.
We need war room dot film.
We need government gangsters, the movie to explode.
It is how we drop the anvil on the deep state.
It's what my entire conversation with Sean Ryan was about.
If you haven't seen that podcast, you got to watch that interview.
It is a two hour barn burner.
We take a wrecking ball to the deep state.
And the only guy.
That I know that can turn the pages of this book and the hours of that interview into a brilliant movie is Steve Bannon.
And he came to me one day and he said, hey, we're going to turn that book into a movie.
I was like, dude, you're crazy.
And in less than 100 days, Matthew Taylor, Dan Fuad and Steve Bannon turned this bad boy into a movie.
We've done multiple premieres across the country.
We're going to New York.
We're going to Danbury.
We're going to go to Palm Beach, Club 47.
We're going out west to Vegas and Arizona.
We're going to bring this movie everywhere you want us to bring it.
Info at warroom.film if you want your community to host a Government Gangsters screening.
And just maybe, just maybe, I'll show up.
But if you can't get a host to get a committee together, watch it yourself at warroom.film.
Exploding on the scene is Government Gangsters, the film.
Thanks to Stephen K. Bennett.
dave brat
Do you know there is nearly $1 trillion of infrastructure and pandemic funds yet to be spent?
That's right, there's a massive amount of money that the lame duck administration is pushing hard to spend in their last few months.
If Biden can push out these funds, we could see another prolonged inflation surge, just like during COVID.
And I'm sure you remember the terrible effects that high prices had on Americans and still do.
But there's hope.
A surge in prices can be beaten.

Welcome back to the war room here in Washington, D.C.
It is probably the only good thing of my trip back to the swamp to get back inside the dojo that Steve Bannon built and I wish you guys could pan the cameras out to the room to my left and see the amount of knowledge That is occupying that space.
And then I think to myself, what goes through Stephen K. Bannon's mind?
Anyway, a topic for another day.
Luckily, today, sticking with voter integrity, election security, and how we're doing it in Washington, D.C.
with the SAVE Act and Chip Roy and Company.
Also, equally important is what are we doing at the state level?
Why are not more citizens like our next guest?
I'm so thrilled.
Linda, thank you for joining us from the great state of Georgia, which is a must win for Donald Trump and company.
Can you give us a little bit of a background about your organization for those that have not heard of it yet?
The website to go to?
And then we'll dive into what you're doing down there on a daily basis.
And maybe we can motivate some people in, say, in Nevada or in Arizona or Wisconsin to do what you're doing.
unidentified
Well, first of all, our organization is Fight Voter Fraud.
We are actually based in Connecticut, but we are in 49 states with everything that we're doing.
And one of the things that we're doing in conjunction with hundreds of people down in Georgia is we've been giving away free data on the double registered double voters.
These are people that they needed to challenge.
kash patel
What does that mean?
unidentified
That means these people are registered in more than one state.
And some of them have been voting in more than one state.
kash patel
Sorry, I don't mean to laugh, but I just can't believe that that's a reality in modern day America.
But that's a reality that people need to focus on.
Sorry, go ahead.
unidentified
Oh, no, I mean, it's unbelievable on what is going on.
The voter rolls everywhere are a mess, an absolute mess.
People don't understand that you can't be registered in multiple locations.
We had someone recently that I brought the evidence to the feds on down in North Carolina that had voted three different times in North Carolina and in Florida.
You know, they were registered in multiple locations and they voted.
Yes.
Yes.
People are doing that.
How do you fix that?
kash patel
How do you fix that?
unidentified
What do you got to do?
Well, first thing is you have to have law enforcement go after them, the ones that are the most egregious.
You can't tell me you don't know that you've already voted.
You can't tell me that.
You vote once, either absentee or in person.
You don't vote multiple times and think somebody's not going to catch you, because you know what?
Fight voter fraud.
We've been working on this now for five years.
We have now perfected it, and we know the people that are double registered, that are double voting, the dead people that are voting across the country.
I mean, it is unbelievable.
So we also have the illegals.
And I call them illegals.
I'm not going to call them non-citizens.
Because if you came to this country legally and went through the process, you can therefore apply to be a U.S.
citizen.
But what we see right now going on is so incredibly egregious.
Which ties us into also what's going on in Georgia with the three heroes on the election board that basically had the reconciliation rule verified, which just means that if you have 10 voters, we're going to count to make sure there's 10 ballots.
It's that simple.
Yet the Democrats on the other side, and I gotta tell you, we're nonpartisan, but I do have to bring this up as the Democrats are the ones that are suing these people, saying they're doing all these things wrong.
And it's like, wait a minute, is everybody listening to what is happening here?
You are verifying that they have the same amount of voters, just like you would people on a plane, to the same amount of ballots or the tickets on a plane.
It's that simple.
It's on the books in Georgia, has been on the books, yet they have gone crazy saying how that's illegal, it shouldn't be done, they should be taken off the board.
I'll tell you, Janice Johnson, Rick Jeffries, and Janelle King are true patriots.
They're standing up in Georgia for what is right.
And basically, the Democrats are going, well, but then how are we supposed to cheat?
How are we supposed to cheat if things are actually accurate?
I mean, that's the way that I see this.
It's not going, oh my God, they shouldn't have been doing this.
They shouldn't have had the meeting.
No, they are literally screaming how they cannot cheat because this rule is being enforced, which is also almost word for word from the Georgia state law.
It's the lack of common sense.
kash patel
Yes.
Sorry.
What I want to do is to motivate people, and I realize you're across the country, but I'm going to keep coming back to Georgia, just because I want to motivate people to show them the amount of success you've had there and show them that they can have that success by reaching out to your organization in their home states.
Can you highlight a few of the victories you've had there along the way that ensure voter integrity?
unidentified
Well, it's getting the individuals that are also doing the research that have been removing people off the voter rolls that are no longer in their jurisdictions.
That was the key thing that Fight Voter Fraud has been doing for a while, right down to the grassroots for that.
But there is some stuff that everybody can do on their own.
Like I said, we have a letter on the website.
You can use our sample letter that I sent to Connecticut.
Send it to your Secretary of State and follow up.
It tells the Secretary of State exactly what they need to do to find and remove the illegal immigrants and the non-U.S.
citizens.
It's right there.
The plan is there on how to do it.
And it was the RNC's counsel's office a few weeks ago that it was brought to my attention.
We have been getting these hundreds and hundreds of letters have been being sent to the Secretary of State to show them there is a way.
You need to remove them immediately.
kash patel
That's great.
And so look at the impact that you have had at the grassroots level.
And that's the brilliance of your movement.
People don't realize that to fix the voter issues that we are having, it is not a Washington, D.C.-based solution.
It is a grassroots, state-by-state, county-by-county resolution, a movement that you are leading the charge on.
So in the last minute that I have you, Linda, can you tell us what is most pressing that you're working on in these next 60 some odd days to the next election and how people can help you achieve more victories for America?
unidentified
Well, a couple of things that we are working on.
Again, the letters to get the illegals off the voter rolls themselves.
That is one of the most important things that they need to do.
And they also need to check their street.
You check your street.
You know who moved.
You know who died.
You know, challenge these people, even at the voter rolls or at the polls themselves.
You need to be challenging them so you yourself can do things from home.
You know, without any expense, by making phone calls, looking at what's going on.
And one of the big pushes that I'm doing, as a matter of fact, today in Connecticut is getting the certification documents of our election officials, because I have found a number of them in Connecticut are not certified to run elections.
So in your states, if you look up what are the certifications, Make sure they're certified that they can run an election.
I know in Connecticut, we have 148 out of 338 that are not certified to run elections.
It's a problem.
So you can check, like I said, check yours out.
Yeah, I mean, it's a mess.
We really need to just start over with our whole getting the voter rolls together.
We may have to go back to dipping your finger in the ink like the third world countries do.
It's gotten that bad.
But everybody can make, you can make a difference.
Absolutely, you can make a difference.
kash patel
And where can they find you?
On social media?
Website?
One more time?
unidentified
Fightvoterfraud.org.
We're on Twitter.
I guess we're on Instagram as well.
You can email me at lynda, L-I-N-D-A, at fightvoterfraud.org.
But yes, we definitely want people going to our website, and I am going to be putting on a training session on Thursday.
Look under News, and you can sign up for it.
So we will walk people through what they can do with the double-registered double voters.
kash patel
Well, that's great.
Thank you so much, everyone.
War Room Posse.
Let's check out Linda's website and help her out.
Linda, thanks so much for coming on the show.
Appreciate your detailed analysis and advice today.
So coming up after the turn here, we got Todd Benzeman.
We're going to jam about immigration because it seems to be the most prevalent preaching topic there is.
for this upcoming election.
It just doesn't go away because the Biden, Harris, Kamala, Tim Walz regime has essentially mandated illegal immigrants to come in and rob you of this election.
The question is, War Room, what are you going to do in your community to make sure we have a secure election?
dave brat

kash patel
And we're back to the War Room.
Here we go.
We got a couple more guests left in this last 30 minutes before we kick it off to the afternoon evening segments.
With me now, we have Todd Benzeman, who just got back from overseas.
And we want to know how all of the immigration issues we've been talking about today, Todd, intertwine with your trip down there.
And how is that even mixed in with election integrity, not just here, but overseas?
Welcome to the program, Todd.
Give us a quick rundown of where you were and what you were doing.
And then we'll dive into it.
unidentified
Sure.
todd bensman
I spent a week in Colombia on the entry side of the Darien Gap and another second week on the Panamanian side of the Darien Gap where they exit out to assess whether the new government in Panama, Raul Jose Molino, whether his plan to close the Darien Gap is working so far a couple months in.
And so I was on the ground doing that.
I've got a number of reports out already, and I've got more coming.
And a preview of my final assessment of this is that the U.S.
promise to full-throatedly support the new Panamanian government has not been forthcoming.
And it has significantly hobbled the Panamanian government's efforts to shut that gap down.
Remember, the Darien Gap is the source of the 378 immigrants who are on the U.S.
FBI terrorism watch list.
That is a major national security threat to our border.
They're coming from all over the world, 170 different countries in huge numbers from all over Africa and everywhere else.
So that's where you want to get a handle on it.
And in the past, the old Panamanian governments were content to create a super highway with the Biden administration to come in.
And now all of a sudden you've got a new government.
Saying, hey, we want to shut it down and will you help us?
And the Americans said, yeah, sure we will with a kind of a wink and really haven't come through.
kash patel
Well, so what caused the new government, for people that don't know and aren't super familiar with how the change in government down south of us has occurred and what the consequences of that has been, what caused that new government to come into power?
And then on top of that, what caused them to say, hey, we're going to help America seal their border?

Yeah, because this is about Panama, not us.
And you have to remember that historically, maybe 10,000 or less ever came through the Darien Gap from around the world until the Biden administration took office and started catch and release policies at our border and the whole world found out about it and began the long march.
to get a piece of that.
And what it did to Panama is it spiked the numbers from whatever, less than 10,000 a
year to 130,000 the first year, 2021, then 250,000, then 520,000.
And now we've got at least another quarter of a million so far in 2024.
And the expense of that is monumental for the Panamanians to even move them through,
to feed them, to shelter them, to house them on their own.
Plus, they're running rampage over the Ambera Indians And so they're finished.
in that area just wiping out their crops and, you know, tons and tons of garbage, wrecking
the environment and scattering the animals that they rely on to hunt and fish.
They're just ruining that tribe, which I've written about in the New York Post just last
week.
And so they're finished.
The new government came in and said, we're going to close this.
kash patel
So how now that we have step one accomplished down south in a couple of these locations,
Panama, Colombia, with new regimes who want to get with the program, which is pretty sensible
about securing and safeguarding the United States of America from illegal immigration,
what has been the reception by the Harris-Walsh regime here, and what are they, Panama-Colombia, doing in response to the reception they received from the U.S.?
todd bensman
Right, well, the Mayorkas DHS, Mayorkas went down there for Molino's inauguration, and on that day, Sign this agreement that looked very promising.
We're gonna help you with air repatriation We're gonna fund all these air repatriation flights.
Don't you worry none?
We got you on this and so within about a month Molino had laid the groundwork and had done all these initial moves and gotten everything ready and there's no money and There was no U.S.
support.
They needed diplomatic muscle for the surrounding governments as well to get them on board, and there was no diplomatic muscle either.
So Panama's just been hanging out there all by itself with no support that they needed, that was promised to them.
And so the president has been out there holding press conferences, the Panamanian president, saying, Hey, where's the aid you promised?
We're out here waiting.
There's no aid.
Where's the help?
And so he's holding press conferences and he's complaining publicly.
For example, he just recently came out and said the Americans told him that they won't put any immigrant on a plane home unless they volunteered to get on the plane, which nullifies...
So that's what's been going on down there.
I mean, they're just hung out to dry.
The Harris campaign has made no mention whatsoever of this golden opportunity.
Really, this is a golden opportunity to help America to shut that thing down and reduce the immigration flow overall, but also the national security threat that emanates from the Darien Gap.
kash patel
Well, we appreciate, Todd, that you're willing to go down there into not-so-safe environs and come out and report to the world the actual truth about the immigration issue from literally both sides, geographically, of the equation.
And so we appreciate you.
Where can everybody find you?
Where can everybody get those reports you'll be producing?
And how can they support you?
todd bensman
Right, I work for the Center for Immigration Studies, so you can find a lot of my reporting right there in the pink kiosk, the carousel, cis.org, right there.
That is my personal website.

And all my social media is there at toddbensman.com as well.
kash patel
Great.
Thanks, Todd.
Thanks so much.
Now, to continue the talk of the day, we've got James Rickards here.
James, how you doing?
Thanks for joining us.
I would be remiss if I did not bring up all things Ukraine with you and the latest update, especially another colossal waste of money and life.
And what's the update on this F-16?
And what's the update on the response that It's happening here in Congress.
Are the Ukrainians winning?
james rickards
The Ukrainians are not winning.
They haven't been from the start.
The Russians are moving on all fronts.
The F-16 cache is the latest in a long, long line of so-called wonder weapons that the U.S.
or NATO allies have provided to Ukraine.
Each one, when they rolled it out, you know, the HIMARS artillery, precision guided missiles.
Well, it turns out the Russians can jam the GPS, so those missiles just kind of Go off into cornfields or whatever.
The Abrams tanks, the Leopard tanks, Challenger tanks, all left burning on the battlefield because of mines, drones, Russian fortifications, etc.
The attack on its missiles is supposed to strike deep inside of Russia.
Russia's very good at shooting them down.
So there's a lot more, but you can go down the list.
Every one of those NATO weapons have failed.
And by the way, that should raise major concerns inside NATO.
Forget about what's going on in Ukraine.
Perform your mission of defending Europe when your weapons are completely inferior to the Russians.
So what happened?
What was the latest wonder weapon?
It was the F-16.
You know, Zelensky's been banging the table, give me F-16s.
Well, he got some and took a long time to train the pilots.
They put them up and literally within a day or two of flying, one of them was shot down.
Their top pilot, called name Moonfish, was killed in that crash.
But here's the irony.
He was shot down by a Ukrainian Patriot anti-missile battery.
There was no communication between the Ukrainian Air Force and the operators of the battery, so they shot down their own plane.
So again, another failure.
What?
I'm sorry.
Gosh, I'm sorry.
kash patel
No, I was saying, they shot down their own plane with stuff we provided them?
james rickards
Correct.
And by the way, the stuff we provide on the Patriot anti-missile batteries, they don't work against Russian hypersonic missiles.
They can shoot down cruise missiles about 500, 600 miles an hour.
But these hypersonic missiles are coming in at 4,000, 5,000 miles per hour.
The Patriots cannot shoot them down.
And one by one, the Russians have been blowing up the Patriot missile systems, anti-missile systems.
Which is all nonsense.
dollars each. They've blown up about seven of them. So there's seven billion dollars
just in flames because they can't stop a Russian hypersonic missile. So the other thing, the
Western media is talking about this invasion of Kursk, the Kursk area of Russia, where
Ukraine has moved in. This is supposed to be a turning point. They'll put pressure on
Putin, destabilize Putin and all that, which is all nonsense. The invasion is real, but
Putin is more popular than ever.
But I can't find anyone in the West, you know, Victoria Nuland, Anthony Blinken, Jake Sullivan,
who knows anything about Russia.
unidentified
Bye.
james rickards
They don't know the Russian way of war.
The Russian way of war is usually on the back foot.
Then they're slow, methodical, and deadly.
They take their time.
They don't work on anyone else's schedule.
So what's happening now is that Kursk, which are basically the Kremlin, the Kremlin, the reserves of the Ukrainian army, they're being surrounded, creating what's called a cauldron.
All right.
Move the war, the Ukrainian defeat, a lot closer.
It's just a disaster.
But what troubles me, well, that troubles me enough.
500,000 dead Ukrainians and several hundred billion dollars of wasted U.S.
money.
But the American people are not ready for this because they've been lied to by The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Economist, The Financial Times.
Basically, the Western media have not been honest about what's actually going on there.
kash patel
Well, James, I got about a minute left.
Thank you for the bringing us up to date on all things Ukraine, Russia.
It sounds like we continue to light money on fire.
So I wanted to get your take on have we lit enough money on fire to head into a recession?
We got about a minute.
Please give us your update.
james rickards
Yeah, we probably are going into a recession.
There are a lot of indicators, you know, gross domestic product is still reported kind of up, not a lot, but a little bit, but there's something called gross domestic income.
They're supposed to be the same, but, you know, roughly the same, but they're not.
There's a big divergence and gross domestic income is much worse.
History shows that when gross domestic income is lower, it's usually the one that's correct.
And it's a sure sign of a recession.
So that could surprise a lot of people.
The stock market is at an all-time high, I understand that, but the stock market is usually the last to know, believe it or not.
So we could see major recessionary signs, higher unemployment, starting later this week.
kash patel
And James, where can everybody find you to keep up with your analysis, not just on the Ukraine and Russia, which is critical as we get into this election cycle's top season, but where can we find you about the recession analysis?

Alright, War Room Posse, back here in Washington at the Dojo, Steve Bannon, and we saved the fuel and fire for the very end.
Right now, exclusively here at the War Room, we're going to play a couple, three clips from my interview with Sean Ryan, former Navy SEAL, who has one of the largest podcasts in the country.
We bring the heat on the deep state and how to knock out these government gangsters and kick ass for the United States of America.
It's all in the book, it's in the Sean Ryan interview, and it's in the movie, GovernmentGangstersAtWarRoom.Film.
But check out these clips with Sean.
The FBI's footprint has gotten so freaking big and the biggest problem the FBI has had has come out of its intel shops.
I'd break that component out of it.
I'd shut down the FBI Hoover building on day one and reopening the next day as a museum of the deep state.
And I'd take the 7,000 employees that work in that building and send them across America to chase down criminals.
Go be cops.
You're cops.
Go be cops.
Go chase down murderers and and drug dealers and violent offenders.
What do you need 7,000 people there for?
Same thing with DOJ.
What are all these people doing here?
Looking for their next government promotion, looking for their next fancy government title, looking for their parachute out of government.
So while you're bringing in the right people, you also have to shrink government.
Chris Wray, the director of the FBI, and Rod Rosenstein were tasked with helping us at Congress, where I ran the Russiagate investigation, to expose Russiagate.
We went to them and said, look, you guys didn't do this.
Help us expose it.
You know what they did?
They launched an investigation against me.
They used grand jury subpoenas to get my personal information, my banking information, my emails, my cell phone information, everything else.
I didn't find out until five years later when Google called me and said, hey, our five-year notification has lapsed.
We can now tell you the DOJ surveilled you.
And we had to turn over documents.
We exploded that into a federal lawsuit that's still ongoing in the DOJ and FBI.
unidentified
What?
So Google informed you that you're being surveilled five years after the investigation started.
kash patel
What more did they tell you?
They're not allowed to say anything.
As a former National Security Prosecutor, I know you don't just go to Google.
You go to every provider.
You go to all the telecoms.
You go to the bank.
You go to everybody.
But these two guys who were running the FBI and DOJ sat in a room with the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and lied to our faces.
They threatened to investigate us.
They actually did it!
Just look at Nancy Pelosi's insider trading deals.
It is insider trading.
And she keeps making up hundreds of millions of dollars.
So do dozens of other congressmen and women.
So they know what's going to happen.
They're writing the legislation.
They're doing the funding.
It's the same thing for the media circuit.
These people, not all of them, but for the most part, live and breathe to get on these TV shows.
I could care less if I ever do media again.
In fact, I'd probably be a much happier guy.
These guys are begging to get on your show for three minutes here and four minutes there.
They're begging for relevance and they're looking for any way they can get it.
unidentified
Do you think I shouldn't have any government officials on?
kash patel
I think they should just have people who care about questioning them neutrally.
Again, not a Republican or Democrat thing.
Like, if someone goes out there and specifically lies about Russiagate, about impeachment, about insurrection, about the 51-inch letter, call them out on it.
But they keep having them on over and over and over and over again.
Well, that's just a few sneak peeks into my interview with Sean Ryan, who is just an awesome show, kick-ass American, and you should go check out the full episode.
By the way, he also interviewed Donald J. Trump, which just released right before that in Las Vegas.
Wonder how that all got set together.
Anyway, we're finishing out here in the Washington, D.C.
dojo, and my offer still stands.
You want to put 100 butts in the seats, go to warroom.film for the Government Gangsters movie, and email info at warroom.film, and we will set you up with the movie.
Otherwise, stream it yourselves and get the bestseller now at governmentgangsters.com.
Remember, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris prevented this book from coming out for 10 months.
I had to go to federal court and sue them just to get the truth out.
So you might want to know what's in here.
I know y'all have already bought it, but go out and buy a copy in the next 63 days and leave it on the doorsteps of your neighbors and give them the truth so we can secure these elections with the truth.
And of course, there's no better way to end the war room than buying a Trumpamania t-shirt at base2barrel.com, then hanging out with the great Mike Lindell, who this show could not be possible without.
Mike, how are you doing?
Welcome to the program.
mike lindell

So the great Mike Lindell, go to MyPillow.com and get your house stacked with MyPillow.com gear.

But I think we do.
It's Kash Patel here in the Washington, D.C.
studio.
Pinch-hitting for the wonderful, the great Steve Bannon, the Dojo Master, who we hope to see soon in real life.
But until then, War Room Posse, we got an election to win.
We got to arm our communities with the truth.
We got to destroy the deep state.
And we got to drop an anvil on this thing called the swamp.
