| ...land of ours, free and the home of the brave, and that's what it was... | ||
| A generation later, the army's Rough Riders stormed up San Juan Hill with Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and swept the last foreign empire from the American hemisphere. | ||
| Forever, forever swept. | ||
| In World War I, our doughboys fought bravely in the Valley of the Marne and in the Argonne. | ||
| There in 1918, a devout Tennessee Christian named Alvin York, you know that name, charged across an open field towards the German machine guns. | ||
| They were firing. | ||
| At levels at that time that nobody had ever seen before, they were knocking down everything in their way, including giant trees were coming down. | ||
| The enemy mowed down more than half of his platoon almost immediately. | ||
| The platoon was going down like nobody's ever thought possible. | ||
| But York pressed on into the jaws of death. | ||
| He slayed German after German and returned with 132 prisoners from behind the enemy lines. | ||
| And he had the option of killing them, and he didn't want to do that. | ||
| And that's okay, isn't it, right? | ||
| It's okay. | ||
| But he brought 132 back. | ||
| And his actions, and the actions of that great day, crazy but great day, Sergeant York earned the Congressional Medal of Honor and became one of the most famed and decorated heroes of the First World War. | ||
| Very famous, actually, because of the movie that was made. | ||
| And we're joined today by Sergeant York's grandson, Army Colonel, Gerald York. | ||
| Gerald? | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you, Gerald. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Great honor to have you. | ||
| Thank you, Gerald. | ||
| At his grandfather's funeral in 1964, Gerald was told by No, I think your best years are right now. | ||
| You look very good. | ||
| Your best years are right now. | ||
| Keep it going. | ||
| But Colonel York, we salute you. | ||
| We salute your family and the fame and the bravery of your family. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Appreciate you being here. | ||
| And in World War II, the army once again came to the free world's rescue. | ||
| Among the millions and millions who volunteered was Henry Armstrong. | ||
| He enlisted six months before his high school graduation and did basic training right here at Fort Bragg. | ||
| By the next year, he was in Normandy. | ||
| He fought his way across France as part of Patton's Third Army, crossed the Rhine into the heart of Germany, and helped. | ||
| Liberate a Nazi concentration camp. | ||
| He was a brave person. | ||
| Command Sergeant Major Henry Armstrong is here with us today. | ||
| 100 years old, a veteran of numerous World War II battles, and 41 years in the Army. | ||
|

Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||

|
Wow. | |
| These are great, amazing people. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| He's joined by his grandson, Army Major, Dennis Armstrong. | ||
| Dennis, I assume that's you, right? | ||
| Thank you, Dennis. | ||
| And Dennis's wife, Captain Shelley Armstrong. | ||
| They love the military, and they love our country. | ||
| Thank you very much, Shelley. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| And their son, Tanner. | ||
| Where's Tanner? | ||
| Let me see. | ||
| Oh, he looks good, too. | ||
| They all look good. | ||
| Tanner might look the best, actually. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Who's an active duty staff sergeant in the 82nd Airborne right here in Fort Bragg. | ||
| He could right now run for office. | ||
| I think he's very popular. | ||
| In Korea, our warriors held the front line in the battle against communism and liberated millions and millions into the light of freedom. | ||
| To Vietnam, we sent some of the toughest men who ever wore army boots and olive drab. | ||
| Joe Marm of Pennsylvania. | ||
| He was 23 years old when his platoon was ordered to rescue soldiers surrounded by the enemy in the Battle of Yardrang. | ||
| Lieutenant Marm charged into heavy fire, killing four enemy soldiers in the brush before sprinting across 40 yards of open field. | ||
| His teammates could not believe he was doing it, actually, they said. | ||
| He then tossed a grenade that killed eight Viet Cong gunners, plunged into the trenches and killed still more before being shot in the jaw, badly in the jaw. | ||
| He successfully cleared the way for his men to save their stranded comrades and, frankly, for his men to save their own lives. | ||
| He was unbelievable. | ||
| For his exceptional bravery, Lieutenant Marm received the Congressional Medal of Honor. | ||
| And retired as an Army colonel after 30 years of service. | ||
| Colonel Marm is here today with his two sons, Will and Walter, both Army Rangers. | ||
| What a great family legacy. | ||
|

|
Please stand up. | |
| How's your jaw feeling? | ||
| All right? | ||
| The jaw? | ||
| It's all right? | ||
| Looks pretty good. | ||
| I wish mine looked that good. | ||
| It's very good. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Great family. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Real heroes. | ||
| In the modern era, soldiers have charged into the darkest caves and ventured into the most godforsaken places to vanquish the forces of radical Islamic terror from the face of the earth. | ||
| In 2007, Chief Warrant Officer Eric Phillips was stationed at a remote outpost in the Afghan mountains. | ||
| When a massive Taliban force attacked from all sides, he thought he was finished. | ||
| For three hours, he led a hellacious counterassault to successfully repulse the enemy in close combat. | ||
| In the same deployment, Eric again repelled an attack by a vastly larger enemy force, saving countless lives. | ||
| For his spectacular gallantry, Chief Phillips earned the Distinguished Service Cross and the Silver Star, becoming among the most highly decorated warriors. | ||
| Of any branch in the war on terror. | ||
| Actually, he is the most decorated, and it's not even that close. | ||
| Many, many battles. | ||
| Many, many medals. | ||
| And he's with us today, Chief Phillips. | ||
| You did us all proud. | ||
| Please stand up, Chief Phillips. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| You are Army strong. | ||
| Thank you very much, Chief. | ||
| From the American Revolution until today, the story of the Army is the tale of an unbroken chain of American patriots who gave all they had for this country. | ||
| It is the saga of epic men like Washington and Jackson, Grant and Custer, Pershing and Eisenhower, Patton and MacArthur, Wild Bill Donovan. | ||
| And the great general William Yarborough, father of the Green Berets. | ||
| You know that, the Green Berets? | ||
| You know that, William Yarborough? | ||
| It's a story of fabled units like the Old Guard, the Iron Brigade, the Big Red One, the Buffalo Soldiers, the Harlem Hellfighters, the Tuskegee Airmen, the Screaming Eagles, and George Patton's Hell on Wheels. | ||
| They called it Hell on Wheels. | ||
| when he was after you, it was not good. | ||
| The weapons of war have changed with every generation, but the unflinching loyalty of the American soldier has always remained the same. | ||
| The army has always stayed true to its motto, this we'll defend. | ||
| You know that this we'll defend. | ||
| Army warriors who have laid down their lives for America rest by the thousands and the sacred soil of Arlington and Gettysburg, Anzio and Manila, and to far-off places known only to God and Today we renew our devotion to the cause of liberty for which they so selflessly lived and fought and so bravely died. | ||
| There could be no greater tribute to their memory than to prepare the army to dominate America's enemies for the next 250 years and more than that. | ||
| That's why, under the Trump administration, we're focused on restoring the spirit of the U.S. Armed Forces. | ||
| No soldier ever volunteered for the Army to be lectured about transgender diversity or inclusion. | ||
| You don't want to hear that. | ||
| Transgender for everybody. | ||
| We don't do that. | ||
| America's patriots joined the Army to kick down doors, storm beaches, kill terrorists, and win America's wars. | ||
| That's what we want. | ||
| And that's what you want. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| And to that end, we're making that record investment, but not only in the army and the other forces also, because you work together as a team. | ||
| And we're including in that and across the board. | ||
| Now, you don't have to take this if you don't want. | ||
| You could be great patriots, say, I don't want to raise. | ||
| I do not. | ||
| I will not accept it. | ||
| Let it go back into our country. | ||
| Let's give it to Gavin Newsom so he can waste it in Los Angeles. | ||
| No, we don't want to do that. | ||
| But we're giving you across the board raise for every single service member in the U.S. Armed Forces. | ||
| We're giving you across the board. | ||
| You know, we spend so much money on things that we shouldn't be spending it on. | ||
| But I think those days are stopping, Mr. Senators and congressmen that are with us. | ||
| As part of our one big, beautiful bill, we are also investing over $1 billion to update your on-base housing. | ||
| And we're building a state-of-the-art missile defense shield to protect our homeland. | ||
| And it's called the Golden Dome. | ||
| It's going to be all made in America. | ||
| We've done it for others. | ||
| We're now doing it about time, right? | ||
| We're doing it for ourselves. | ||
| After years of recruiting shortfalls, this is, to me, maybe the most exciting things. | ||
| We're setting the strongest peacetime recruiting records ever. | ||
| Just think of this. | ||
| Six months ago, we couldn't recruit anybody to join the military. | ||
| Nobody wanted to join. | ||
| It was six months ago. | ||
| And then we had the election of November 5th. | ||
| And now we have the strongest recruiting numbers in the history of our country. | ||
| Can you imagine that? | ||
| Can you imagine that? | ||
| We've already surpassed our recruiting targets for 2025 and we're not done yet. | ||
| And I'll tell you, it doesn't make you feel good when you had to hear six, seven months ago that nobody wants to join the army. | ||
| They don't want to join our military. | ||
| Frankly, they didn't want to join our police, our firemen. | ||
| They lost confidence. | ||
| lost faith in our country. | ||
| And just In fact, your job might be in jeopardy. | ||
| Somebody else may come in and take it. | ||
| That was bad. | ||
| We'll get you out of here. | ||
| You have to be good. | ||
| We're getting the best people that you've ever seen. | ||
| We're getting people that like it. | ||
| Great people are coming in. | ||
| Doesn't it make you feel good, though? | ||
| You have something and you're doing something and other people want to join you. | ||
| Isn't that a great feeling? | ||
| Now, wasn't it a lousy feeling just a short time ago when they announced, you know, you're a soldier and you're proud of your country and you're proud of the army in your case and you're reading stories about nobody wants to come in and join the military, right? | ||
| Isn't that lousy? | ||
| Even the ladies from North Carolina were not happy with that. | ||
| But then we had a great election. | ||
| It was amazing. | ||
| too big to rig. | ||
| We had a great election and all of a sudden, I think they made a big difference. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| So thank you very much. | ||
| All of you guys, I think you've really made a big difference. | ||
| The Army will soon be stronger, bigger, and better than ever before. | ||
| And every new soldier that joins our ranks will kindle the same fighting spirit exemplified by the likes of Sergeant Major Jim Schmidt. | ||
| Who's no longer with us? | ||
| At 15 years old, after lying about his age, because he wanted to get in so badly, Jim trained at Fort Bragg to fight in World War II. | ||
| When Jim's middle school wrote to ask if he would attend his eighth grade graduation, he wrote back, that will be impossible, as I'm rather busy now. | ||
| I'm in the hinterlands, hunting down Germans. | ||
| And I have to say this, and Italians, I know there are a couple of Germans and Italians here. | ||
| As a paratrooper, he made the famous drops at Sicily and Salerno. | ||
| While still a young boy, too young to be in, the army kicked him out. | ||
| They found out about it. | ||
| They kicked him out. | ||
| They discovered he was way underage. | ||
| They said, Jim, you got to get out of here. | ||
| You're a hell of a soldier, but you got to get out. | ||
| But that didn't stop Jim. | ||
| He enlisted in the Navy. | ||
| But the moment he turned 18, he came right back and he joined the 82nd Airborne. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| He went on to fight at the Chosung Reservoir in Korea, a rough place. | ||
| Saw combat in Vietnam and ended his career right back at Fort Bragg, having earned two silver stars, three bronze stars, and two Purple Hearts. | ||
| With us today is Jim's widow, Peggy, and their beloved grandson, Army Specialist, Christian Forbes, who is currently deployed at our southern border defending our country from an invasion. | ||
| Whether we like it or not, it's an invasion. | ||
| But I don't know if you've heard, the invasion was 99.9% stopped. | ||
| Do you hear that? | ||
| 99? | ||
| Could even be more right. | ||
| 99.999% stopped. | ||
| That invasion has stopped. | ||
| I think he's in good shape. | ||
| Specialist Forbes, I want to thank you for defending America. | ||
| And you've obviously done a good job because that invasion has been stopped, and we appreciate you being here. | ||
| Thank you, wherever you may be. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Very much. | ||
| Great. | ||
| We stopped that sucker, didn't we? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Huh? | |
| We stopped it. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Each and every one of you here today carries in your souls the love, strength, and courage of Millions upon millions of army patriots who came before you. | ||
| Your uniforms bear the same stars and stripes that our ancestors carried to victory at Yorktown, across the Great Plains, and over our Rockies, up the Missionary Ridge, down through the streets of Paris. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| We went down the streets of Paris. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've got to help our allies, don't we? | |
| across the sands of North Africa and onto the shores of Omaha Beach, into the blood-soaked hills of Korea. | ||
| And it was a West Point graduate named Buzz Aldrin, who first planted our great American flag on the face of the moon. | ||
| Now it's your turn to carry that flag forward and to add your own daring deeds into this chronicle of triumph and legends. | ||
| Now it's your duty to shield the flame of freedom that was first lit. | ||
| 250 years ago by the heroes of Concord Bridge and Bunker Hill. | ||
| Standing before you today, I am more confident than ever that in the days ahead and every generation to come, the U.S. Army will heap glory upon glory upon glory upon us all. | ||
| You will protect every inch of U.S. soil and you will defend America to the ends of the earth. | ||
| Wherever danger is there, the U.S. Army will be. | ||
| Another beautiful phrase. | ||
| Whatever peril comes our way, whatever menace threatens our people, you will stand strong, you will be proud, you will charge hard, and you will keep that flame lit. | ||
| that beautiful, beautiful flame, you're going to keep it lit. | ||
| You will hold the flag high, and you will do something that's become... | ||
| But you're a hell of a lot braver than me. | ||
| You will fight, fight, fight, and you will win, win, win. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| God bless you. | ||
| God bless our soldiers. | ||
| And God bless the U.S. Army. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you, everybody. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| The US | ||
| It's an amazing event at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the home of the 82nd Airborne, the All-American Division, one of the most honored divisions in the United States Army, one of the elite divisions, Airborne, 101st Airborne, which really has turned to air assault now. | ||
| And the 82nd, which is really more paratroopers. | ||
| I guess that's the way they were breaking down. | ||
| Absolutely incredible. | ||
| You see how excited our President Trump, and he had a presser beforehand. | ||
| He's on fire. | ||
| He's going back to World War I, World War II. | ||
| Why we don't celebrate him? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think he said in the Oval. | |
| That we were the victors in World War II. | ||
| If we hadn't stepped into this fight, we'd all be speaking German today. | ||
| A lot of truth to that. | ||
| Particularly the quote-unquote allies that we have today. | ||
| As I've said over and over again, most of the nations in NATO today were not on our side in World War II. | ||
| And most of the elites in those nations definitely were not on our side in World War II. | ||
| Maybe the people were. | ||
| So incredible. | ||
| President Trump's on fire and also making... | ||
| Back and forth today with Gavin Newsom. | ||
| Gavin Newsom, I don't think, really sticking the landing, making his case. | ||
| He's now making excuses that, hey, the troops don't have blankets, they don't have food. | ||
| The troops are going to do fine. | ||
| These are tough men and women. | ||
| They can handle it fine. | ||
| They're there to have the back. | ||
| Of local authorities. | ||
| And we'll have to see if it kicks up tonight. | ||
| I think most of these rioters are really focused on this spreading throughout the rest of the country, particularly this weekend, which they call what No King Day, some goofy moniker that they've come up with as they try to raise hell throughout the country, cause problems. | ||
| Cause dislocation, cause disunity. | ||
| The nation is united behind that. | ||
| You heard Harry Enten today on CNN with the polling. | ||
| America backs President Trump, what he's doing. | ||
| This is what is so fundamental and so important what President Trump has done in Los Angeles. | ||
| Remember, most of the time these things kind of, you know, like you could see them in the three or four days. | ||
| They get bigger, they get bigger, they start burning things, they get cheered on, the media cheers them on. | ||
| It says, oh, they're peaceful or these are just people. | ||
| Expressing their grievances. | ||
| Remember the Summer of Love? | ||
| Remember all that? | ||
| Royce White's going to join us at 6. More problems up in Minnesota. | ||
| I think they have illegal aliens. | ||
| I don't know the General Assembly of there. | ||
| Royce White's going to join us. | ||
| But Royce is also going to talk about and remind us of the Summer of Love, where President Trump did something very strategic and very important. | ||
| The local police forces, particularly in L.A., which used to be a... | ||
| First off, you can see that in the policemen themselves, the rank and file you see out there. | ||
| There's not a lot of those individuals look like they're in great shape. | ||
| They just don't. | ||
| However, they did a pretty good job, although it's kind of namby-pamby with the rioters. | ||
| They let them shut down the 101, the 110, cause havoc, take control of the streets for 18 hours. | ||
| That's just not... | ||
| That would have metastasized. | ||
| And this is not the rank and file's fault. | ||
| The senior leadership of the police department, you could tell, does not want to engage the rioters and doesn't want to make arrests. | ||
| There are virtually no arrests, at least up until yesterday afternoon or last night. | ||
| There are no arrests of anybody. | ||
| That's why the National Guard showing up, federalized, say, hey. | ||
| The boss man has sent somebody to have your back, and if you can't do it, we will, and then to send active duty Marine Battalion up from 29 Palms. | ||
| And Pete Hexer, the Secretary of Defense, is down with this, all of it. | ||
| That broke, with increased in smart police activity last night, it broke the riders. | ||
| They may be back tonight, we're going to track down Ben Burquam, but I think that they may be smoked out. | ||
| You're always going to have these troublemakers, but you can't mollycoddle it. | ||
| You can't accept it. | ||
| And you have a mayor that's making excuses and you're doing this. | ||
| I hope, I haven't seen this so far, but I hope, and it hasn't been public, which it should have been. | ||
| ICE should have been out there all over. | ||
| Should have flooded L.A. today with raid after raid after raid after raid. | ||
| Tom Homan was making excuses yesterday. | ||
| Well, it was really for a drug cartel and a money laundering operation. | ||
| Don't make excuses for what you're doing on the raids. | ||
| The money laundering and the criminality is all tied to illegal immigration. | ||
| And you should be going into the schools. | ||
| You should be going to the churches. | ||
| You should be going to the workplaces, wherever you have to go. | ||
| Sorry, not sorry. | ||
| You're here illegally. | ||
| You're going to go home. | ||
| All 10 million of them that came in on Biden's watch. | ||
| Not just the criminals and not just the mentally insane. | ||
| And you've got Karen Bass, the mayor of L.A., does not get up to the microphone. | ||
| She says, he told us, he promised, he didn't promise you anything. | ||
| Here's what he promised you. | ||
| Close the border, get back our sovereignty, and repel the invasion. | ||
| And repelling the invasion, a defined term, Mayor Bass, is they all have to go home. | ||
| Now, he's made all kind of arrangements. | ||
| If they want to voluntarily go home, he's there to assist. | ||
| But if they don't, guess what? | ||
| They're going to be rounded up and deported. | ||
| And if the liberals and progressives don't like it, tough. | ||
| Not only the American people, first off, President Trump ran on this as a central, you know, plank. | ||
| Because he said, hey, I was taking care of it in the first term, which it was a huge deal, as you remember. | ||
| Biden went the exact opposite, to invite and organize an invasion. | ||
| And oh, by the way, FBI and Justice Department, where's Mayorkas? | ||
| Where are the charges against these people that ran it up? | ||
| It just can't be the grundoons that came across the border. | ||
| That were invited in by the Biden regime. | ||
| It just can't be that. | ||
| We now have Brian Glenn. | ||
| Okay, Brian Glenn's got B-roll right there. | ||
| Live from the motorcade. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| Brian Glenn just got the White House. | ||
| Now he's in the motorcade. | ||
| That's a shot. | ||
| See that? | ||
| See it zipping around? | ||
| He'll fleet up one day. | ||
| He'll be in Marine One and we'll get a shot of that. | ||
| Brian Glenn in the motorcade. | ||
| Heading back. | ||
| I think they took Air Force One today. | ||
| That's a quick trip. | ||
| You barely get up, you got to come down. | ||
| Man, Rob Sigg's paying for that trip. | ||
| I wonder if that seat's inexpensive because it's such a short trip. | ||
| Inquiring minds want to know because it's expensive. | ||
| That's why usually only the big networks do it. | ||
| But Brian Glenn is the rock star in that press briefing every day or in the Oval. | ||
| No, the ICE has to more publicly double down. | ||
| Go for it. | ||
| Not only do the American people support this, as Harry Enten showed you, the Hispanic community supports this. | ||
| They don't want to live with this. | ||
| The folks in the Hispanic community that are here, that are citizens, what did Harry Enten say today? | ||
| 47%. | ||
| And sometimes he looks at the numbers and may be actually over 50. Support President Trump and his plans on immigration, including deportations. | ||
| We told you all along that when it gets down to the mass deportations times, you remember I gave that speech in Pinehurst, right near Fort Bragg, about two years ago now, where I said the convergence in, guess what, the spring and summer of 2025, where you're going to have these big budget cuts that you're going to have to do on the social services combined with The beginning of the mass deportations, the left's going to rise up and strike back. | ||
| And this is what they're doing. | ||
| This is about political will. | ||
| Do we have the political will to finish this? | ||
| President Trump, the American people have your back. | ||
| The Hispanic and African American community have your back, particularly working class people. | ||
| Maybe not the credential class, but the working class definitely have your back. | ||
| Because they've had to live with it. | ||
| And near there really is the salvation. | ||
| And shutting the border down, which Lankford and these guys told us would take us years and billions of dollars. | ||
| He did it in 60 days. | ||
| And now they're complaining, oh, it's $134 million. | ||
| Well, what's the cost? | ||
| What's the cost of the illegal aliens we're getting out of L.A.? | ||
| It's going to pay for itself. | ||
| This is actually a cash flow. | ||
| You're going to generate positive cash flow. | ||
| You're going to cut the cost of what you're paying for. | ||
| And not even the opportunity cost. | ||
| I'm not even talking about the crime. | ||
| And all that, I'm talking about the direct costs that you're paying right now for illegal alien invaders. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We are packed. | ||
| President Trump is leaving. | ||
| There's Brian. | ||
| We'll come back to that amazing Brian Glenn in the motorcade. | ||
| Got some great visuals right there. | ||
| Isn't it amazing? | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to return in a moment to the war room. | ||
| Actually, take your phone out real quickly. | ||
| Bannon, 989898. | ||
| Text that to Birch Gold. | ||
| The ultimate guide to investing in gold and precious metals. | ||

|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | |
| Okay, a lot going on in L.A. during the day. | ||
| President Trump has been saying he's going to double and triple down with ICE raids. | ||
| He's going to double and triple down with troops. | ||
| Ben Burkham's on the streets. | ||
| Ben, is this thing settling down or starting to work back up? | ||
| I'll tell you, Steve, we're going to move over here. | ||
| We're down on Alameda, right behind the ICE office right here, main ICE headquarters. | ||
| We've got law enforcement lined up. | ||
| The show of force is heavy today. | ||
| We've got the National Guard on the other side. | ||
| They let them come in to do a little protest earlier when we first got here, but then they sealed the entire thing off, and now they're starting to remove people. | ||
| There was actually a van. | ||
| All media personnel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All media personnel. | |
| Hang on one second, Steve. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Northbound. | |
| Northbound police, the commercial police. | ||
| Commercial claim. | ||
| Never supporting or a claim. | ||
| Okay, hang on, Steve. | ||
| It looks like we're going to move over here real quick. | ||
| I know, I know, I know. | ||
| We're going to move over here. | ||
| It looks like there's some action over here. | ||
| But they're pushing them out. | ||
| So it looks like they're doing a show of force right now in order to push everybody out early so they don't have the things happening. | ||
| So clearly, though, again, this is a continuation of the show of force that we saw yesterday with President Trump. | ||
| Well, they gave a dispersion, you know, in the afternoon show yesterday, they gave a dispersion. | ||
| I mean, you're essentially redoing today what you did yesterday, right? | ||
| Or the authorities are. | ||
| It feels like a little heavier response today than we had yesterday. | ||
| They started off yesterday, you know, at this time, they were letting everybody kind of move up and surround the building. | ||
| In fact, although yesterday they didn't allow anyone back here. | ||
| They had this area totally blocked off. | ||
| It feels like today they let people come back here and protest simply to kind of cordon them off. | ||
| And then they blocked it all. | ||
| So if you turn the camera, Eric, if you turn the camera behind. | ||
| So this area has already been cordoned off for quite a while. | ||
| They weren't letting anyone in. | ||
| We were inside here with the main protesters slash agitators. | ||
| And nothing was really happening until that bus full of what looked like a bunch of illegals from an operation this morning came through. | ||
| And that's when we started seeing some violence, some clashes between them. | ||
| And now they've shut this area down. | ||
| The big problem, though, Steve, is, as you mentioned, you know, they basically just coddle the Antifa guys and move them around the city. | ||
| And we see what we saw last night. | ||
| They basically just let them do what they want to do. | ||
| And then they go out into the streets and loot and cause violence and attack vehicles and throw mortars and all the rest of it. | ||
| They move them away from these buildings, these strategic locations. | ||
| But, hang on, we got some movement over here. | ||
| But they don't stop them from committing criminal acts. | ||
| Okay, but here's the point. | ||
| Here's the point. | ||
| This is why we were recommending today they'd be amassed multiple ICE raids, make it public, have a show of force, show Mayor Bass, show Newsom. | ||
| Show the left-wingers, the agitators, all of them get in their face and show them you're not backing down at all by doing these raids. | ||
| That bus, when it came back, you see, once the buses come back, that's when they get violent. | ||
| Hey, that's fine. | ||
| You want to get violent? | ||
| We'll lock you up. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| That's what we got. | ||
| That's why we have the National Guard here federalized. | ||
| That's why we got the Marines. | ||
| You want to make a big deal and start throwing stuff and violating the law and shutting down the city and rioting because we're bringing people back in that are going to be deported? | ||
| Let's do it now. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Let's do it publicly. | ||
| Don't need to hide this. | ||
| We're proud of what we're doing. | ||
| We are stopping an invasion of our country. | ||
| There's nothing to be embarrassed. | ||
| You should be proud of this. | ||
| This is President Trump, one of his greatest moments to save the country and save the sovereignty of the country. | ||
| Ten million invaders have come into the country, and they all have to go home. | ||
| Today, I think it was Media Matters or somebody melted down when I said that. | ||
| Meltdown every day, Snowflake, because they're going home. | ||
| So I think you see, as soon as you see a bus of the illegal aliens coming in, rolling back to the detention center to be shipped out of here, all of a sudden they're going to get violent. | ||
| Let them get violent. | ||
| Then lock them all up. | ||
| There's a couple thousand. | ||
| If there are four or five thousand of these rioters, hey, it takes two or three days to lock them up. | ||
| Lock them up! | ||
| And then ship those guys out too. | ||
| This is why I think now you double and triple down. | ||
| You don't flinch. | ||
| And Ben, you just saw it in action. | ||
| As soon as they do the ICE raids, as soon as they bring back the people that they're going to ship out of here, they're going to deport because this is called mass deportation. | ||
| We're not doing onesies, twosies. | ||
| It's mass deportation. | ||
| All of a sudden, the... | ||
| They start throwing stuff. | ||
| They try to disrupt, right? | ||
| They want to start to riot, sir. | ||
| Do I bend? | ||
| Let's see if we can reboot him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let's see some B-roll. | ||
| Just take the camera and swing it around. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Let's see if we can reboot Ben. | ||
| Here's my point. | ||
| President Trump, he's got the right strategy. | ||
| You're going to have a show of force. | ||
| With actual assets that can have the back of the state police, the CHP, California Highway Patrol, right? | ||
| The CHIPS guys. | ||
| You're going to have the back of LAPD, particularly the big tactical units. | ||
| You're going to let people know we have your back. | ||
| But there's no need to, we can't play hide the football here. | ||
| Ben Burkholm, do we have you back up, brother? | ||
| Yep, I'm here. | ||
| Yeah, I'm here, Steve. | ||
| I really hope President Trump and Tom Homan are listening. | ||
| To your advice, because that's what the American people want. | ||
| They're so used to, the left is so used to throwing these tantrums and getting their way and having people back off. | ||
| What they're not used to is throwing their tantrums and getting spanked like they deserve to. | ||
| And so I 100% agree, and I know MAGA agrees with you. | ||
| They should triple down. | ||
| They should continue to escalate, pick up more of the people. | ||
| And again, because the reality is, who the left is trying to protect right now are the worst of the worst. | ||
| I've been on several of these ops. | ||
| I'm going to be on another one later this week. | ||
| They're going after the worst of the worst. | ||
| These guys out here protesting are trying to protect the worst of the worst. | ||
| The mainstream media. | ||
| I was just out here with Aaron Burnett at CNN. | ||
| They're trying to protect the worst of the worst. | ||
| President Trump has a mandate from the American people. | ||
| He should use that mandate and deport them all. | ||
| Now, listen, in 2020, there was a lot of great rhetoric, but the country burned down. | ||
| And the reason is the people around President Trump would not execute on what President Trump wanted to have happen. | ||
| Now you've got Pam Bondi, you've got Kash Patel, you've got Pete Hegseth, you've got Tom Homan, you've got Kristi Noem. | ||
| You have people that will execute on your plan. | ||
| Ben Burkham is a big difference in 2020. | ||
| Now let's merge the rhetoric with drop the hammer every day. | ||
| You've got the right, you have all the chess pieces. | ||
| Now it's time to double and triple down on the ice rates. | ||
| And it should be going everywhere. | ||
| Schools, churches, everywhere. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everywhere. | |
| Everybody's got to go. | ||
| Line up. | ||
| And what you'll find out is so many people just say, okay, I'm going to deport. | ||
| I'm going to get out of here. | ||
| And no harm, no foul. | ||
| Right? | ||
| This is what we have to do, Ben Burquam. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, and, you know, the big difference now, too, is President Trump went through that first term. | ||
| He wasn't a political agent at that time. | ||
| He was a businessman, smart guy. | ||
| Now he's been through it. | ||
| He's been through the death threats. | ||
| He's been through the trials. | ||
| He's been through the injustice system. | ||
| And he's got nothing to lose. | ||
| And he finally has a team around him that actually will stand up and do the things that he wants to do. | ||
| And really what it comes down to is pulling that trigger. | ||
| I just pray they have the will to do it. | ||
| And to your point, President, excuse me, Tom Holman, I don't think they should. | ||
| I think the American people want to hear exactly what they're doing and why they're doing it, and that they're not going to back down at all. | ||
| The last thing the American people, in particular MAGA want, is them backing down now. | ||
| They know how close we are to losing our country. | ||
| We don't need any of the media hits. | ||
| No more media hits. | ||
| Just get in the lead tank and let's go round them up. | ||
| The problem in 2020, he was either lied to by people around him, lied to about what real conditions were, or he would give an order and they would not execute it. | ||
| This is why some of these cities burned down. | ||
| They would not execute. | ||
| They told him he couldn't do certain things. | ||
| They lied to him. | ||
| They misled him. | ||
| And in many cases, he ordered them to do it, and they just didn't do it. | ||
| The team he has now is the exact opposite. | ||
| These people are ready to execute, Ben Burkwam. | ||
| You've seen it. | ||
| You've been on these ICE raids. | ||
| You've been on a lot of them so far. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, when you had Reince Priebus and you had the deep state that was already in there telling you lies, telling you to hedge your bets, you don't want to – We're in the life or death of our nation right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he's been- Reince was long gone by then. | |
| I'm talking about the summer of 2020. | ||
| The summer of 2020 when we had the summer of love. | ||
| There was a lot of great rhetoric. | ||
| There was a lot of great rhetoric, and the country burned, and that was because of President Trump being misled, and guys like Bill Barr telling him things couldn't be done. | ||
| He had the entire Justice Department, virtually was a bunch of liars, right? | ||
| All Bush appointees. | ||
| You saw them right there, that they wouldn't act. | ||
| This is why it's so important now. | ||
| This is why I'm a huge advocate. | ||
| Triple down on the ICE raids and make them public. | ||
| Don't, don't, we're not, we're not hiding this. | ||
| Do it out in broad daylight. | ||
| And dare the agitators to do something. | ||
| Then lock them up and get them the hell out of here. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Half of these agitators are illegal aliens. | ||
| Lock them up. | ||
| The American citizens put them in jail. | ||
| The other ones that are illegal aliens, ship them out of here, Ben. | ||
| But to your broader point, it's the business owners of these companies that are hiring them. | ||
| We need to see those guys locked up. | ||
| It's the politicians that are protecting them. | ||
| That's what the American people want to see. | ||
| That's the ultimate. | ||
| That's where you're going to see this actually change. | ||
| You can pick up illegals, but once you start picking up the CEOs of those companies or the politicians that are aiding and abetting them, that's when this is going to change. | ||
| Or these fat cats on these Democratic progressive left donors. | ||
| From Hollywood and media and New York City and the lords of easy money. | ||
| All of them. | ||
| Go to them. | ||
| Let's send them. | ||
| Hey, they're more responsible for this from some poor person from the Caribbean or somebody from Central America than L.A. Yes, that person has to go home. | ||
| You've got to do it humanely. | ||
| But the responsibility is the guys that back Biden and the guys that are doing these NGOs right now. | ||
| Go ahead, sir. | ||
| This is a great point. | ||
| In a lot of ways, the NGOs, think about how maniacal they were. | ||
| These NGOs pretending to do good. | ||
| We got Catholic charities pretending to do good, profiting off of this invasion, knowing full well that most of the people that they were helping invade our country were going to have to be deported simply to be able to use them as a pawn today to try to attack President Trump. | ||
| That's how. | ||
| They cared more about making the money and undermining our country than they did even about the people. | ||
| A lot of the people that are coming over were duped into this. | ||
| A lot of them saw the signs and said, hey, it's time to go. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| I met people in the Darien Gap that said, man, I would have never done this before had I not been told that this is what we needed to do, that we're invited. | ||
| All of this. | ||
| It's all of those people and organizations that invited in the invasion. | ||
| They are the worst of the worst. | ||
| And really, when we talk about the worst first, it should be them. | ||
| Mayorkas, the people around Biden, all of the NGOs, the Lutheran Society, the Catholic Charities, they ought to be, hey, they ought to be right now under investigation. | ||
| And if there are foreigners here on any type of visa, reject it and get them the hell out of the country. | ||
| If U.S. citizens, try them. | ||
| And the billionaires, the people that cause us, the people in back of it. | ||
| It's like the financiers in back of Hitler. | ||
| The financiers in back of Tojo. | ||
| They walked away scot-free. | ||
| You can't make changes until you go after them. | ||
| The industrialists, right now we got a chance. | ||
| This is an industrial operation. | ||
| What did Ben Berquam and Tom Benzman tell us all the time? | ||
| Benzman said, this is not chaos. | ||
| It's not chaotic. | ||
| It's very thought through. | ||
| They got rid of Trump's executive orders. | ||
| They laid in a whole architecture of legal. | ||
| Knowing exactly what they do, they put the technology out there and knowing exactly what they've done. | ||
| For the last four years, we've gone from Latin America and the Daring Gap in Hell, had Michael Yon over in Morocco, right? | ||
| You see how the whole thing's a global system? | ||
| What did Oscar Blue Ramirez tell us time and time and time again? | ||
| The UN Compact on Migration, right? | ||
| It was all totally organized, just like it is in Europe. | ||
| And it's financed by big people. | ||
| Who are those people? | ||
| They want to break this American republic. | ||
| They want to break it and bring it to his knees. | ||
| This is the enemy within. | ||
| And the enemy within, we ought to be going after hammer and tong and not back off. | ||
| We have a righteous cause and the American people back us. | ||
| And listen, you've got a window of opportunity to do this. | ||
| This is the whole thing about taking down the deep state. | ||
| You have to do it with urgency. | ||
| Action, action, action. | ||
| Today, Tom Holman, are there three times more ICE raids out there? | ||
| And no, I don't want ICE raids on drug cartels or money laundering. | ||
| I want to go get illegal aliens and mass deport them today in Los Angeles. | ||
| Burkham, hang around. | ||
| Short break. | ||

| We'll learn you up on that. | ||
| Then you start making some decisions. | ||
| Also, there's a free handbook. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| Ultimate Guide to Investing in Gold and Precious Metals in the Age of Trump. | ||
| We're not in an era anymore. | ||
| We're past the era. | ||
| We're in an age. | ||
| Ten years starting on Sunday. | ||
| Is that amazing? | ||
| That's just a preamble. | ||
| Take your phone out, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, 989898, the amazing team at Birch Gold. | ||
| Get in there and look at it as an alternative, a hedge, a little hedge to the rest of your financial assets. | ||
| Ben Berquam, tonight what's going to happen? | ||
| We're going to let you go. | ||
| We know you want to get in position. | ||
| We know the other networks are malacholing these people. | ||
| The action today should be every day we should double down on these ICE raids. | ||
| Everywhere, particularly in L.A. County. | ||
| Now we got them on the run. | ||
| You got back up there. | ||
| They ought to do it. | ||
| Your thoughts are before you get... | ||
| Yeah, so the moral of the story of this story is always the same. | ||
| You punish the kids early. | ||
| It's like your kids. | ||
| You give them a short leash or else they take advantage of it. | ||
| Same thing here. | ||
| You got a bunch of spoiled kids. | ||
| You take care of them early, and you're seeing that now, finally. | ||
| It's been, you know, three days of allowing the riots and the vandalism, the rest of it. | ||
| But we're going to see more of that. | ||
| So, to your point, I think our focus as Americans need to be supporting ICE. | ||
| ICE needs to know that we got their back, and they need to go full force, ignore what's happening here, deal with these guys, arrest every one of them, but focus on the real enemies within. | ||
| Again, the organizations, the people, the politicians, and the money that was behind creating this. | ||
| Not only did they, but you said it's true. | ||
| Last thought. | ||
| It was a designed invasion, but this is also designed chaos. | ||
| They did that with George Floyd. | ||
| They did that with the BLM riots. | ||
| That was designed chaos. | ||
| And unfortunately, it worked with BLM and George Floyd. | ||
| We can't allow that to happen this time. | ||
| That's exactly right. | ||
| This is always designed chaos. | ||
| And this time, this is why it's so important. | ||
| President Trump's got a great team. | ||
| You got Stephen Miller and Tom Homan, the border czars. | ||
| You got Kristi Noem. | ||
| You have Pete Hexeth at Defense. | ||
| You have Pam and Cash over at DOJ and at FBI. | ||
| Your team's in place. | ||
| Call the play. | ||
| Run the play. | ||
| You've got it. | ||
| You just have to execute now. | ||
| And don't flinch. | ||
| No matter what the media says. | ||
| The more they howl, the more you know you're doing it right. | ||
| And this whole concept, particularly Mayor Bass, oh, you're only supposed to come after the criminals. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, ma 'am. | ||
| Take your number two pencil out and write this down. | ||
| Ten million. | ||
| Illegal alien invaders. | ||
| Anybody that came in on Biden's watch, gotta go. | ||
| And will go. | ||
| Burquan, what's your social media? | ||
| And we'll look for you tonight. | ||
| I'm sure we're going to be live streaming this into the hours. | ||
| And it's spreading, too. | ||
| Dallas last night was actually as scary and parts of it as scary as L.A. I think it's spreading to San Antonio. | ||
| Also, where can people get you, sir? | ||
| At Real AM Voice. | ||
| I've got new videos just from earlier today. | ||
| I haven't had time to put up. | ||
| I'll be putting those up very soon. | ||
| And then my social media at Ben Burkwam, Substack, Frontline America, and FrontlineAmerica.com. | ||
| Oh, you got additional interviews. | ||
| Those interviews today were great. | ||
| The man on the street. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| As people deal with the chaos down there. | ||
| Ben Burkwam, thank you so much. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| In the next hour, Royce is going to be on. | ||
| He's going to talk about, remember, in the height of the BLM when the whole media is running around, Royce White let a march. | ||
| Where did Royce White go? | ||
| He didn't go to George Floyd Square. | ||
| He went to the Federal Reserve. | ||
| Shook the system up. | ||
| They go, what is this brother doing? | ||
| Who is he accusing of what? | ||
| That's a game changer. | ||
| That got people's attention. | ||
| And Royce White is absolutely correct. | ||
| Mo Bannon is going to be here in the second hour. | ||
| To talk about the U.S. Army, some things President Trump said today is magnificent. | ||
| Down at Fort Bragg, we just wrapped up there. | ||
| Remember, they're going to be maybe some of the front lines you see to take care of these cities. | ||
| President Trump is getting ahead. | ||
| He's not going to let it burn, baby, burn. | ||
| This is not going to be a summer like 1968. | ||
| This is not going to be a summer like 2020. | ||
| He's ahead of it already with a show of force. | ||
| And last night you saw it, as soon as the National Guard came out, those rioters... | ||
| They didn't want any piece of that action. | ||
| Then when the police, when somebody had their back and they started taking out those zip ties, all of a sudden all you had was the media around there. | ||
| So on the second hour we got a lot to go through. | ||
| Big day today, President Trump down at Fort Bragg. | ||
| We had Mitch Little on the morning show, and my phone kind of blew up afterwards. | ||
| This Texas situation is very unsettling. | ||
| What in the hell is going on with Texas? | ||
| The Soros boy, Jr., he's announced he's going to put a couple hundred million dollars to turn Texas purple and then blue. | ||
| They're back again after blowing 300 million or 400 million the first time. | ||
| The MAGA loyalist, the grassroots in Texas, delivered a 14-point win for President Trump and a 9-point win For Ted Cruz, which was kind of unprecedented. | ||
| Now you've had this disaster and debacle in the legislature as you had this just incredible, incredible kind of takeover by the business interests that really partnered with the Democrats and they had a terrible session down there. | ||
| Brian Harrison and the team was down there. | ||
| Glenn's story and his team at Patriot Mobile, that is one of the best companies in this country. | ||
| They have your back, your values. | ||
| These are fighters. | ||
| These are people leading the effort to make sure that Texas is MAGA. | ||
| And the service of the phone service that they have, the mobile service they have, is second to none. | ||
| Because it layers on top of all three. | ||
| Carriers, the different services they provide are incredible, and they support your values. | ||
