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
President Trump got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
unidentified
The people have had a belly full of it.
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.

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Babb.
Welcome to The War Room.
natalie winters
It's Natalie G. Winters hosting today, Thursday, September 19th, in the year of our Lord, 2024.
Fourteen Republicans last night gave War Room yet another victory when it comes to the CR.
Make no mistake, I know it's a Pyrrhic victory, and we're obviously operating under a system where we're forced to pass CRs because Republican leadership just doesn't quite understand that we want single-subject spending bills.
And it's the opening salvo of what is shaping up to probably be another CR stopgap funding style showdown.
There's reporting coming out now that Speaker Johnson is already sort of starting to work.
He's going to Trump, but also potentially working with Democrats trying to pass maybe a clean CR stopgap funding, something in that realm.
So that means War Room Posse.
You guys are going to do, that's what I always say, what you do best.
And especially this time in honor of Stephen K. Bannon.
You're going to keep calling.
Now, I got a lot of messages.
Last night, while I was doing Tim Pool, that's why I wasn't hosting the show yesterday, from a few of the good ones, a few of the 14 that helped defeat the CR last night, saying that it was you guys and your calls that played such a critical role in making sure that America Last, Globalist, Lobbyist, Democrat Party favored, CR didn't pass.
So, we need to keep our reputation, we need to make sure that history repeats itself, and keep up the fantastic work that I know Stephen K. Bannon is so proud of you for, sitting in the same federal prison cell that the same government these losers want to fund, which was responsible for putting him there.
And just one quick note before I think we're getting Darren up.
I was contemplating whether I wanted to go here, but I want to say this.
I think it is an absolute disgrace that Congressman Chip Roy came on this program to push false talking points about the CR plus SAVE Act combo.
Not just at face value, because they're lies, it's happy talk that the Uniparty wants to But because Steve Bannon isn't sitting in this chair to push back on it.
Because of the very same government that Chip Roy is so desperate to fund.
And if you noticed, a very important point when Chip Roy was speaking.
He said, the reason why we need the CR is because we need to push all of this stuff until the spring, because then maybe Trump will be in office.
Big maybe there, because you guys certainly aren't doing much to make sure that that's a reality.
But we'll have leverage because Stephen K. Bannon will be back in this chair.
Now there's a lot to unpack there.
In other words, they know that Stephen K. Bannon was the leverage, was the tip of the spear, was leading the crusade against the CR, against the stopgap funding, against all of this BS that Washington wants to keep pushing on us.
And I know Chip Roy is sometimes on the right side of the issue, sometimes he's not.
But I think there's a very interesting admission there.
That part of the reason they wanted to put Stephen K. Bannon in prison, like I said when I was hosting this show two days ago, was because they're envious, they're mad, and they're triggered about what this show did to Kevin McCarthy and Republican leadership.
And they're coming back with a vengeance, and that's why they didn't do anything
till 48 hours before Stephen K. Bannon went to prison.
Then they put out some performative letter, just like they're now waiting until the 11th
hour as we barrel towards November 5th to do anything when it comes to election integrity.
That should make you really mad.
And this show is about human agency and action, action, action.
And when you get really mad that your Republican bettors think that you're so dumb that they can put Stephen K. Bannon in prison and then come on his show and tell you that you need to support a CR or you're going to spike the issue of election integrity, That's when you call 202-225-3121 and you burn down the phone lines.
Metaphorically, of course.
Because I don't need happy talk from people like Chip Roy.
For those of you who say, oh, well, we can have different opinions here in the war room, I missed the time where Speaker Johnson and any of these people ever gave me or Stephen K. Bannon or any of you guys a phone call to invite us to the table.
Do you guys ever get any phone calls?
No, I think the phone works one way.
It's us always calling them.
unidentified
Right?
natalie winters
The nerve to come on this show, to argue, to fund the government that is responsible for Stephen K. Bannon not being able to sit here?
That's some balls that I wish Speaker Johnson had.
By the way, open invite to Speaker Johnson if he wants to come on this show, but you won't.
It's going to be very clear what we want.
And this is co-signed and supported by, like I said, a lot of those four team members.
I won't speak for all of them, but I speak with some of them.
We're okay with the shutdown.
We will not put forth any funding bills, any spending bills, until the Senate holds a vote on the SAVE Act.
We're not going to continue to cheapen election integrity and treat the SAVE Act like a shiny toy that Speaker Johnson and Chip Roy and all these people want it to be until the Senate holds a vote on it.
And I hope you guys call 202-225-3121 and give these people a piece of your mind.
Because I find it fricking, I was going to cuss, but I won't, disgusting.
That Chip Roy would come on the show and try to push that CR, knowing that Stephen K. Bannon can't push back because he's rotting in a federal prison cell.
But let's make sure we fund Matthew Graves' salary, right?
Yeah, I don't think so.
I think we're joined by Dr. Darren J. Beatty now, are we?
No?
I think I see him.
There we go.
Darren, there's always breaking news, but I wanted to bring you on because the story that we're hearing about yesterday when it comes to the Trump rally in New York, there's a lot of fog of war reporting on it in the sense that there was a bomb threat, then there wasn't, then they said there was a civilian that was just testing a bomb dog.
I don't know about you.
I don't know many people who just Absolutely, Natalie.
darren j beattie
And in fact, there's a piece fresh off the press, white hot, that we just published covering this issue.
And it's a very bizarre sequence of events.
I mean, the context, of course, is not one, but two assassination attempts against President Trump.
And here we have a third incident in Long Island yesterday, where original reports are there's an explosive device in a car.
And people reported on this, and it seemed like a big deal, which it was.
And then shortly thereafter, the media just shut it down.
And The headlines were, oh, Elon Musk and Marjorie Taylor Greene and others fell for another bit of fake news.
Just another bit of misinformation, disinformation that these Conspiracy theorists, Trump supporters are indulging in these paranoid nutcases who would think that just because there were two assassination attempts against Trump that would take seriously credible reports of explosives at the event where Trump was scheduled to speak.
What conspiracy-loving idiots, right?
But the really interesting thing is the buried lead underneath these ridiculous headlines trying to make it a story of how right-wingers buy into misinformation.
Because the buried lead is even weirder than just a regular would-be assassination attempt.
The story is, apparently there was some private citizen not affiliated with law enforcement, we're told, who was Doing a training exercise with a dog, training the dog to detect explosives, and that this dog ostensibly had a false alarm.
And that's what caused the initial panic regarding explosive.
Now that is incredibly bizarre.
The idea that there would be a private citizen conducting an exercise of that kind on that day at that location, of all the locations in the world, that you're a private citizen training your dog for bombs, and you're doing it at a place where the former president Who had two attempts on his life recently was going to speak just hours later.
And this is the story, remarkably, that the media doesn't find interesting enough to pursue.
No, the interesting story from their point of view is that Elon Musk dared to tweet out initial reports that everyone was tweeting out that there was explosives.
The cops even thought there was explosives.
It turned out to be a false alarm.
The deeper story could be darker still.
And, you know, it's really unfortunate we don't have the name yet of this individual.
The media is desperately trying to bury this.
They don't want us to know the name because, hey, what if this guy also had, you know, interesting vacation history in Kiev, like the last nut job?
That would certainly be interesting to know, wouldn't it?
Who this guy is.
Or another, you know, Teenager with zero internet footprint like the first guy.
Who knows?
So we don't even know who this person is.
We don't know if there was a decoy bomb used as part of the training exercise.
They say he's not law enforcement.
Was this a contractor group that was scheduled to be there?
If so, why?
And you know, the real dark possibilities here come to light when we consider the role of training exercises as a plausible deniability play for the government to get away with dirty things.
Now, I'm not saying anything specifically about these events I'm about to mention.
I'm just going to point them out in order to establish an interesting pattern here when it comes to training exercises being run concurrently with Real-world events whose subject matter happens to coincide to an uncanny degree to what the nature of the exercise was.
And so, just consulting briefly this latest piece that we did, and you know, since we recently commemorated the anniversary of 9-11, it's interesting to point out that there were multiple exercises conducted on 9-11 that drilled specifically for the event of hijacked airliners and hijacked airliners being run into buildings.
If people are shocked by that, this is a matter of established record.
This isn't not job stuff.
This isn't, you know, this is establish record that there are these exercises.
Am I saying that means 9-11 this or that?
No, I'm just saying it's a very interesting coincidence that is a matter of public record.
Similarly, I've been looking into Oklahoma City, which is a fascinating event, which I think is Crucial to understand, to contextualize everything we see today.
Merrick Garland, the current Attorney General, was one of the principal cover-up guys when it comes to the Oklahoma City bombing thing, which was sort of a major inflection point in the government's relationship with militia groups and the whole domestic terror Scam.
And as it turns out from a book, an authoritative book that's gotten blurbs by all the mainstream types, for those who need that, you know, it's okay.
Sometimes people need to see those blurbs from the mainstream people to give themselves permission to accept what is simply a matter of factual record.
But those things are there.
So April 19 was a designated training day for the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Bomb Squad.
natalie winters
April 19th was the day that the Murrah building... And Darren, I'm going to hold you there because we've got to jump to break, but I'll hold you because I want to drill down on that and the new unity pledge that all these wonderful House Republicans are signing on to exploiting January 6th to make sure that they're a rubber stamp for all election results.
Uh, no matter how third world, they may be in the meantime.
Birchgold.com slash Bannon, text Bannon to 989898 at the latest installment of the End of the Dollar Empire.
Dr. Darren J. Beattie, right after this break.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
natalie winters
Welcome back to the War Room.
I know you guys are no strangers to watching January 6th get weaponized.
I'm sure it's probably impacted you personally, but the latest spin on it is that now they want all members of Congress to sign a unity pledge saying that they will, on January 6th, certify the election results no matter what, attend the inauguration, that of course being a snub against President Trump.
Darren, I just wanted your thoughts before I let you go.
I know you gotta bounce, but on how just the continued legacy of January 6th, you see it continuing to be weaponized and exploited to, I think, really just demean election integrity and just use as a political weapon.
darren j beattie
Well, it's a great point.
And look, January 6, the regime has dumped a lot into January 6, a lot of resources shoving this false narrative down our throats.
There's a reason for that.
The broader reason is that it's the pretext to weaponize the national security state against us.
One of the narrower reasons is simply to shut up and shut down any discussion about election integrity.
You just can't talk about it.
You can't organize around it.
Just shut up.
Preemptively shut up.
It's like they're saying, will you certify the results under any conditions whatsoever?
Well, what if it turns out that Putin actually directly hacks all of our election systems to make I don't know.
President Trump, or even worse, someone even further right.
President.
And it comes out that Putin engaged in this kind of hacking.
Are people then supposed to just preemptively pledge?
No.
It makes no sense.
You have to see what happens.
And if you pledge in advance, that's giving up what little leverage you have.
To ensure that the other side doesn't go absolute bonkers when it comes to whatever shenanigans that they might have planned.
So it's one of these bullying intimidation tactics of just, you know, when they try to get people to disavow someone naughty who said something bad.
It's a similar kind of vein.
And I don't think people should do it.
Obviously, it's a fair election.
You certify the results.
I don't see any advantage or reason to simply saying, no matter what you guys do, we are going to certify the election is fair.
natalie winters
Darren, if people want to follow you, read the new piece on Revolver News.
Where can they go to do that?
darren j beattie
Bombshell piece.
It will shock you.
Revolver.News right at the top.
natalie winters
No pun intended.
darren j beattie
White hot.
unidentified
Indeed.
darren j beattie
White hot.
Revolver.News.
I'm on Twitter at Darren J. Beattie.
natalie winters
Darren, thank you so much for joining us.
You know, it's always an interesting sign up to me where they wheel out, whether it's, I think, a new former governor coalition was announced yesterday.
Of course, they're wheeling out the, you know, Bush's, the Cheney's, the Clinton's, because they have such high esteem among the American people to say that you guys need to trust election administration.
You guys need to trust the way elections are run in this country.
We're not actually going to do anything to address the issue.
It's a psychological operation.
That's what it is.
To make you susceptible and just accept election results and say, if you ask questions about it, well, you're a crazy conspiracy theorist.
How about this?
I'm just going to invoke Reagan and say, trust but verify.
I wish we had the privilege to do that.
You guys can work and earn our trust.
On elections.
We're not just going to hand it to you because you wheel out some establishment politicians who then insist that our elections are safe and secure.
I hope they are.
I wish they are.
But the fact that, what was it, 97,000 ballots?
I think just yesterday, news breaking in Arizona being mailed out to people that didn't necessarily have proof of citizenship or registration to vote.
Utah just put out a report yesterday and saying in their primaries there was discrepancies between the number of mail-in ballots requested and the number of mail-in ballots they received.
Oh yeah, and that's right, Minnesota, no coincidence there with Tim Walz I'm sure, had the same style reporting to what happened in Arizona.
That was three days ago.
Changing the policies when it comes to mail-in ballot regulation.
Imagine that doesn't work.
It's almost like they know that and it's almost like that's why they keep pushing it, jamming it down our throats.
Kinda sounds like I'm talking about CRs and omnibus spending.
Interesting through line there.
Now, real quick, Kristen Hawkins from Students for Life is gonna join us.
You guys, I'm sure, saw the poll yesterday.
Teamsters Union, of course, the leadership, not endorsing Trump.
But let's throw this picture up on screen.
You can see 59.6% of their members support President Trump.
The first time in a decades, decades, They're not endorsing a candidate this cycle.
I think there's an interesting parallel.
Trump, of course, representing the people, the grassroots, not the donor class of the Republican Party, and that you see reflected in that number right there.
By the way, I love that they couldn't just write 60%, right?
It had to be 59.6%.
But they're obviously, they being Kamala, the mainstream media, in free fall and panic.
You've never seen numbers like this.
This is the largest union.
I think 1.2 million members.
So, of course, what are they going to do?
Pivot to abortion.
This poll, of course, dovetails quite nicely with, I'm sure you guys have seen a barrage of ProPublica stories saying that Republicans are, you know, trying to kill women.
What's new?
But this one is particularly egregious.
It's so bad they're making Lawrence O'Donnell cry on MSNBC.
Let's play that.
that.
unidentified
If a politician interfered with that procedure and killed, killed my mother when I was six
years old, who's going to tell that boy?
Who's going to tell that six year old how his mother died and who is really responsible?
natalie winters
I don't think they ever shed any tears for Lake and Riley, right?
Thank you.
Guess it doesn't quite fit the narrative.
Someone who knows that all too well, she told me she's just hot off of getting heckled on a college campus talking
about pro-life policies and the defense of all of that stuff.
It's Kristen Hawkins from Students for Life.
Kristen, I would love to just get your thoughts on sort of debunking this ProPublica story.
It's so, I mean, if there's ever a time for a fact check, I would say we should put it on this story.
But just walk the audience through what ProPublica is alleging and how not rooted in reality it is.
unidentified
They're blaming the pro-life movement for a woman who traveled to North Carolina to seek a surgical abortion with
twins, missed her appointment.
The abortionist gave her the abortion drug, abortion, chemical abortion drug, set her home with no supervision.
And she died of sepsis, which is a literal black box warning on the abortion drugs.
She went to the hospital too late. She was throwing up blood, had passed out. By the time
she went to the ER, by the time she got to the ER in Georgia, they appropriately diagnosed that,
you know, obviously the children have died, but she was septic. She had an infection.
And we don't know why they waited 20 hours to do an emergency hysterectomy. The doctors aren't
talking. They did immediately start treating her for the infection, but we don't know what
else was going on, why they were waiting.
They waited 20 hours to do the surgery.
They take her into the OR.
She dies in the OR.
What's really interesting and just horrible about this story, not only is this young mother died, leaving a six-year-old child, her two twins have died.
This has happened before, but not in a swing state.
So in New Mexico a few years ago, Aisha Atkins went to a late term abortion facility.
She was given chemical abortion drugs, the same exact ones that Amber was given.
She went to the hospital, was treated by award winning abortion doctors
that have gotten awards and they're notarized for how important they are in the abortion world.
She also died of sepsis.
But there was no Kamala Harris speech.
There was no Lawrence O'Donnell crying about Aisha on the air because she had an abortion in a pro-abortion state, a blue state, New Mexico, that has no restrictions on abortion.
This is all about the election, not about how to preserve the life of mothers, how to treat mothers who are experiencing These side effects from chemical abortion pills.
The fact is, 1 in 20 women who have a chemical abortion will have to go to the ER.
They have almost a 15% rate of complications.
In California, they saw a 500% increase in abortion-related ER visits after chemical abortions were put on the market by the FDA.
This death, Amber's death, is on the Biden-Harris administration's FDA December of 2021.
If you all remember what happened that month, that was the month that the Supreme Court on December 1st of 2021 had heard the Dobbs case decision.
Anybody with a brain who had heard the oral argument knew the judges were the justices were likely going to rule pro-life.
Because the Biden-Harris administration is so weaponized On expanding access to abortion, no matter the cost, their politicized FDA in December 2021 dropped all of the REMS, the Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategies on Chemical Abortion, that the Clinton administration, Bush administration, Obama administration, and Trump administration had all left in place.
These REMS aren't about preserving the life of the child.
These REMS are to ensure that mothers don't die of chemical abortions.
What are they?
Require an ultrasound.
We don't know if the abortionist in North Carolina even knew if Amber was pregnant with twins.
We don't know any of this.
It used to be when she would go in for the abortion to kill her child, she had to have an ultrasound before to make sure she wasn't experiencing a life-threatening complication like ectopic pregnancy.
And she was supposed to go back to the abortionist to have another ultrasound to make sure she didn't become septic, meaning parts of the dead child, parts of the placental tissue were left inside of her.
The Biden-Harris administration is directly responsible for this death because they promoted abortion above all else, above all common sense safety restrictions.
natalie winters
I dare Lawrence O'Donnell to have you on his show.
He won't.
Kristen Hawkins, if people want to follow you, check out everything you're doing at Students for Life, even come to some of your events.
I love the viral clips.
Where can they go to get all of that and follow you?
unidentified
Well, you can always go to studentsforlife.org on our website or check out social media.
I encourage your listeners and viewers to go to studentsforlifeaction.org slash tv.
We have an explosive commercial.
It's going to be airing on cable news networks.
Yes.
exposing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, extremist record abortion.
I want folks to watch it and share it and help us get it on cable news networks.
Because we have to be aggressive in the pro-life movement with correcting
this misinformation out there.
natalie winters
Amazing.
Kristen, thank you so much for joining us.
Warren Posse.
unidentified
I concur that the 48 hours before the election, but I would argue the 48 hours after the polls close, particularly if we have as close an election as we anticipate, could be equally, if not more significant in terms of spreading false information, disinformation, and literally undermining the tenets of our democracy.
nicolle wallace
Today, everywhere bracing for the possibility of chaos around the 2024 presidential election.
That's thanks to an ex-president who launched a coup attempt that ended in violence instead of simply conceding his defeat last time.
And is now priming his supporters to be shocked, shocked, if he loses to a candidate whose entry in the race has thrown him for a loop.
A candidate who is beating him in levels of enthusiasm, crowd size, most polls, basically any significant metric for a presidential campaign.
The Associated Press reports that one suburban Atlanta county is deploying local sheriffs at early voting locations and panic buttons.
That connect poll managers to 911.
More from that reporting, quote, California's Los Angeles County and Durham County, North Carolina, will have new offices with significant security upgrades for this year's election.
They include bulletproof glass, security cameras and doors that open only with badges.
Election workers across the country also will have new procedures for handling mail.
Including kits of Narcan, that's the nasal spray used for accidental overdoses.
In some places, election workers are being trained in de-escalation techniques and how to respond to an active shooter.
All of this is in response to the elevated threat level against officials in the wake of the 2020 election and Donald Trump's big lie.
Here's Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco yesterday.
unidentified
We are seeing an unprecedented and extremely disturbing level of threats of violence and violence against public officials, including prosecutors, FBI and other law enforcement agents, judges and election officials.
And this is a, this is a point really that we have to underscore.
The threats against election officials Lisa Monaco.
natalie winters
We can cut it.
I can only handle so much.
Lisa Monaco, I don't know about you guys.
You know it's bad when they're wheeling her out to do the bidding of the election subversion team that is the Biden-Harris regime.
Now, for those of you who watched, I think, what was it, two, three weeks ago, I sat here.
I did a special edition of War Room called Ballot Warfare, where I told you They're going to lean so hard into this election worker threat narrative.
Started with the panic buttons down in Georgia, now it's bulletproof glass, de-escalation techniques in Narcan.
Talk about a psy-op.
But why are we seeing all of this emerge?
And of course, they're squarely blaming it on you, on MAGA, on President Donald Trump.
Because it all serves the broader purpose of laying the groundwork for the narrative that is, we need to expect delays on election night.
That's the crown jewel, I guess, of the democracy narrative, right?
But how do you get there?
Well, part of it is that you have to say there's going to be issues when it comes to mail-in ballots.
I guess we saw that, what was it, two, three days ago?
The letter from 50 states, their election workers, to the USPS director saying that we think there's going to be delays because you can't do your job.
Now we're seeing nonstop, 24-7 coverage from MSNBC on the threats that election workers are facing.
In Denver, as I talk, you guys can toss the stories up just next to me.
And what do you get?
The conclusion of the narrative?
Why we might not know the winner on election night.
That's Time Magazine just yesterday.
Axios two days ago.
2020 deja vu?
You should expect delays in election results.
CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, they're all piling in.
It's what you call real-time predictive programming.
You're the target of it.
They want to normalize the idea.
That it's going to take several days to know who the president is, and if we know anything from the 2020 election, it's quite interesting how those few hours after, the ballots that they find always seem to go one way.
I know lightning doesn't strike the same place twice.
I don't think it strikes the same place a hundred thousand times.
But I guess in American elections, they do.
Just to compound that whole narrative, the clip that we opened with was from a Senate hearing yesterday, bringing in all the social media bigwigs to talk about foreign election interference.
I don't think the Chinese Communist Party and all the money they've given them was discussed.
It's Russia, Russia, Russia, right?
Of course.
But what did that guy say?
What did that senator say?
The 48 hours after the election is when it's going to be most heated.
I think there's a lot to unpack there.
I think that was a little slip of the tongue where they gave away the playbook.
It's going to be just like it was in 2020.
The 48 hours after, and luckily Stephen K. Bannon will be back here in this chair to guide us through it, but it's going to be one heck of a ride.
And this is the narrative, what you just saw.
Expect delays because you guys threatened election workers.
So much so that CBS put up a story, what was it, just last week, saying that there's going to be, quote, mistakes when it comes to the results in elections because of these amateur hour election officials.
Makes you think.
No conspiracies, no coincidences, right?
Well, no conspiracies, no coincidences when it comes to immigration, too.
I'm honored to be joined by Todd Bensman in studio, who I realize I've never actually met you in person.
I don't think we've ever actually seen each other.
No, we haven't.
todd bensman
It's a pleasure.
My pleasure to meet you and to be here in D.C.
in the studio again.
natalie winters
Likewise.
I seldom hear people describe being in D.C.
as a pleasure, but I know you were just here for a hearing.
Why don't you walk the audience through what that hearing was, and we'll play a clip after.
todd bensman
Sure.
Well, I mean, it's a short-term visit to D.C., but the hearing today that I wasn't testifying in this one today, but it was in the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, really just having witnesses on, including my boss, Mark Krikorian at cis.org, Center for Immigration Studies, talking about Biden-Harris policy failures.
A whole different range of them, of course, one of the big ones being immigration and others being having to do with our military failure overseas and national security failures of one sort or another.
And it kind of fell along partisan lines.
It got a little heated here and there and it is what it is, you know, so.
It was a long hearing, and it was a good one.
There were lots of interesting highlights that you can go back and watch.
natalie winters
Len, let's play one of those now.
Denver, if you want to roll the clip.
Quite the explosive admission.
unidentified
In San Diego, we had an exponential increase in significant interest to aliens.
These are aliens with significant ties to terrorism.
Prior to this administration, the San Diego sector averaged 10 to 15 SIA arrests per year.
Once word was out the border was far easier to cross.
San Diego went to over 100 SIAs in 2022, well over that in 2023, and even more than that registered this year.
These are only the ones we caught.
At the time, I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs or mention any of the arrests.
The administration was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border.
Fentanyl is another issue.
The San Diego area sees between 80 and 90 percent of the methamphetamine and fentanyl seizures annually for our entire country.
With little enforcement at the border, these drugs were coming through en masse.
During my last year in San Diego, the price for a single pill of fentanyl, for example, went from $10 to 25 cents.
To make matters worse, during 2022 and 2023, I had to shut down San Diego traffic checkpoints, which are critical for drug interdiction, because the resources had been diverted to the process and release mission.
The large numbers also had and still have a negative impact on the San Diego community.
I had to release illegal aliens by the hundreds each day into communities who could not support them.
To quiet the problem, two flights a week were provided from San Diego to Texas.
These flights simply brought aliens that would have been released in San Diego over to Texas.
Each flight cost approximately $150,000.
This was the administration's way to try and quiet the border-wide crisis.

Biden regime is going to let in terrorists and then demand that Border Patrol officials
can't tell the American people what they're doing and demand that those same people subsidize
the flights of pushing them into the interior of this country.
I think I got that right, as outlandish as it sounds.
todd bensman
Yeah, I remember fairly early in the administration in the opening salvos of the mass migration
crisis that Border Patrol sector chief in Arizona put out on his Twitter that they'd
caught two Yemenis.
They were proud that they caught these Yemenis and another time Saudi Arabians.
And they put out a press release.
Actually, CBP put a press release out.
Somebody called me, said, look, there's a press release.
They caught two terrorists crossing And I looked at it and I knew immediately I had to screenshot this thing because it was never going to last.
And sure enough, within a couple of hours, that thing was gone.
They tried to delete it out, but not before we got screenshots of it.
And that's how they were in those days.
Luckily, in about April of 2022, thanks to some House staffers on the Republican side, Back during the Trump administration, they made these arrangements where the number of terror watch-listed individuals that crossed and got caught at the border would go up on the public statistics website.
The for the whole world to be able to count every single month and those are still going on as of April 22.
We've been able to see how many of them crossed and to date.
It's more than 400 that we know of and one other quick thing about that.
Uh, House Homeland recently put out a report based on badgering the administration with information requests, demanding, subpoenaing information that 99 did not get caught.
They got let in through into the interior of the United States, 99 more besides the ones that were apprehended. And then these crazy panicked manhunts
to try to track them all down.
Those have been going on for like a year or so and nobody knew about it until the House Homeland
put out that 99. One last thing, we discovered through a leak to the New York Post, that's the
only way we found out about this one, is that 350 were released into the United States who were
brought in by an ISIS affiliated smuggling network operating out of Latin America and
In Mexico, and that for the last year and a half our FBI agents have been in another separate frantic manhunt to track down all 350 of them to interview them to make sure that none of them were bad guys.
Uh, we know that much, but we don't know how many of them were bad guys.
They won't tell us.
So there's still a lot of secrecy around this and it's political, I believe.
And in my opinion, I think it's because they know that this is something that the American people are going to vote against, vote against them about.

You're going to watch the live reaction on air of MSNBC hosts realizing that the majority of Americans
want mass deportations It's as glorious as you could expect it to be even though I'm
told the mainstream media is really desperate to have conversations
about immigration It just can't be cats, right?
That's the sort of spin that they're taking on the whole Springfield-Haiti situation.
Yeah, we call BS.
Great clip, Todd Bensman, after this short break.
unidentified
We'll be right back.
The mass deportation idea, Megan, is surprisingly popular with a number of voters.
natalie winters
Welcome back to the War Room.
You can hear the mass deportations.
They're so triggered.
Get used to it.
Todd Bensman, I wanted to play this clip, though, and just have this discussion for two main reasons, because obviously the Springfield issue is now a huge thing.
Trump's going to go there.
He's going to go to Aurora.
But if you watch MSNBC, they have two key points that they want to make on all things Springfield and cat eating.
One is that, oh, well, we can't talk about the cats because we need to have substantive conversations about immigration, and this just distracts.
I don't think I've ever heard MSNBC have a substantive conversation on immigration.
They've never had you on their show.
And secondly, they love to say, oh, Trump, JD Vance, they're up there, they're saying, oh, these Haitians are here illegally.
Well, we have a gotcha moment.
They're actually here legally, and I would say, well, that's not quite the gotcha moment that you think it is, because as we've always maintained here in the War Room, it is a state-sponsored and state-subsidized invasion.
Legal, illegal, doesn't really matter.
Todd, you were just giving us some wild facts about the whole Haiti scenario, but walk the audience through your thoughts on all this.
todd bensman
When you hear them say, oh, they're legal, they're actually legal, What they're talking about is a program, a parole program.
They were brought in, a lot of the Haitians were brought in, CBP-1, they apply on an app and they are escorted over the land bridges.
They walk in and they're released into the country with quote-unquote permission.
But this whole idea and program is under legal A lot of legal experts believe that it is an illegal program.
You can't parole hundreds of thousands of people in like this.
Parole was meant for three people a year.
Somebody like a Mexican cop shot five times crawling up a riverbank trying to get into the U.S.
and we let him in for a few days to get patched up.
That's a parole.
Uh, but not, you know, hundreds of 500, 600,000 people, uh, number one.
And number two is, um, I also have heard it said that don't worry about these Haitians.
They they're legal because they have temporary protected status, which is a human.
Both of these are humanitarian rescue programs.
I put that in air quotes.
In order to keep them from crossing illegally between the ports of entry, which looks terrible on Fox News drone video.
So, what I meant to say about that is that very, very few Haitians, if any, are coming from Haiti.
All of these Haitians have been living, they speak fluent Spanish because they've been living for years in Chile.
Millions of, hundreds of thousands have been living in Chile.
I've met thousands of Haitians on the road, on the trail.
I've interviewed them.
I can say I don't believe I've ever met a single one who wasn't coming from Chile or Brazil.
Well, what have you been doing for all this time in Chile and Brazil?
Oh, having a great time!
The beaches, the nightlife, we're making money, we're safe, we're secure, we left years ago.
Why are you coming now?
Well, because Biden's letting us in.
So we're going to go and upgrade.
You know, if life is a thousand times better in Chile than it was in Haiti, it'll be a million times better in the United States.
So why not?
And I don't blame him for making that decision.
For any Democrat or anybody to say that these people are in dire need of humanitarian rescue is just BS.
It's not true in the vast, broad sense of falsity.
It's not true.
One other thing is at my house, I have grocery bags filled with Haitian ID cards from Chile.
Why would I and I found them all over the the Mexican riverbank and also on the Texas side Thousands of them you can assemble like a you know 80 or a hundred in three minutes just like gathering them up at crossing spots and Well, why are they throwing those the reason is because if they get caught with one of those Chilean ID cards later on if they do apply for asylum A judge, that's going to be in their A file.
A judge who's looking at the case is going to go, well, you were living safely in another country.
That's your safely ensconced is the legal term for that.
That's a thumbs down on your asylum claim.
So somebody told them about that.
And that's why you have all these hastes.
So the thing about their legal, their A, lying on their humanitarian parole applications.
And you've obviously been ahead of the curve on all this.
