Speaker Time Text
donald j trump
I am thrilled to report that the U.S. Space Command headquarters will move to the beautiful locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama, forever to be known from this point forward as Rocket City.
Okay, so Huntsville, Alabama, we love Alabama.
I only won it by about 47 points.
I don't think that influenced my decision, though, right?
That didn't, right?
When you come out and when you leave the room, you'll see that we just over the last few minutes literally shot out a boat, a drug.
carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat.
And you'll be seeing that and you'll be reading about that.
It just happened moments ago.
And our great general, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who's been so incredible, including what took place in Iran, knocking out potential nuclear power for a long time to come.
I think within a month they would have had it if we didn't do what we did.
But he gave us a little bit of a briefing and you'll see.
And there's more where that came from.
We have a lot of drugs pouring into our country, coming in for a long time.
And we're just these came out of Venezuela and coming out very heavily from Venezuela.
A lot of things are coming out of Venezuela.
So we took it out and you'll get to see that after this meeting is over.
unidentified
And I know people don't like us even a year in as a government saying, yep, this is what we inherited.
This is what we inherited, right?
There was a widespread use of asylum hotels by the conservatives that increased enormously at enormous cost.
trevor phillips
You keep going back to conservatives.
I want to ask.
unidentified
Yes, but it won't be a question.
We've sorted it.
trevor phillips
Your lawyers, under your guidance, have said.
Biden has said in terms that the rights of asylum seekers are more important than the rights of local people in Epping Forest.
Would you at least acknowledge that that is what they will hear?
It's up to you.
Ministers can say we agree with that or we don't agree with it.
You can't simply say let's balance things.
Do you agree with what your lawyers said or don't you?
unidentified
Yes, of course we do.
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
Because we're going medieval on these people.
You're going to not get a free shot on all these networks lying about the people.
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
MAGA media.
I wish, in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
steve bannon
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
War room.
Huge.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
you you you You're in the warm room.
natalie winters
It's Tuesday, September 2nd in the year of our Lord, 2025.
It's Natalie Winters hosting on yet another historic day.
So much going down at the White House, I guess.
Sorry to all the Democrat haters.
President Trump is indeed not dead.
In fact, they are delivering not just on promises, but I think going very above and beyond whether it's everything going on with Venezuela, moving space force.
We're going to get into all of it, but I want to start with where we concluded are cold and they say, uh, juxtaposition, shall we say, what's going on in the UK.
Any time we seem, I guess, nowadays to talk about what's going on there, it always has to do with censorship and suppression of speech.
And there's no better person to break that down than the one only Mike Benz who joins us now.
Now, Mike, before we get into what exactly that GB news clip was discussing, I want to start with what I think might even be more insane.
It's wild.
Um, but the arrest of a comedian over transphobic posts.
I think when we joked about that, we were called crazy conspiracy theorists.
Can you kind of walk us through this whole incidentident from start to finish.
mike benz
Well, this story is so insane.
It may actually be a kind of tipping point in the free speech fight in Europe.
Graham Lenihan was, is an award winning comedy writer.
He wrote Father Ted and a bunch of other sitcom series.
He's a pretty famous guy.
He took a trip to Arizona from the UK and he tweeted about three comedic tweets on X about transgender and gender issues.
And when he returned to Heathrow Airport in London, he was met by five armed police officers who immediately took him effectively off the tarmac into state custody.
And he is now facing prison over the tweets that he made in the US making fun of transgender people.
And the one condition of his bail was that he so he's allowed to essentially his bail condition was that he's not allowed to post on X. So the only reason that he is not remaining in custody awaiting trial.,
where he will surely face this kangaroo court in the monstrosity of the UK judicial system under these hate speech laws, the only way that he was essentially allowed to spend his remaining days of freedom until his trial,
not in a prison cell, was by agreeing not to have a social media account, not to post on X. So essentially it falls to the rest of the world to tell Graham Linhan's story because the UK state is so afraid of his Twitter account that if he tweets, his bail will be revoked and he'll be immediately in jail.
So this is kind of the worst case scenario come to pass.
He made these tweets while in the United States.
These tweets were completely banal.
They were making fun of the mental instability of many folks in the trans community with a kind of comic punch him in the balls punch line to one of the tweets.
This is the kind of thing and he's a comedian and a high profile one.
I mean, this is very clearly a message from the British state that if you challenge the system in any way, however light, however comic or satirical, you're going to be a good person.
There is no quarter you will be immediately rolled up by the police.
The UK now has over thirty arrests for online speech a day.
The estimate was twelve thousand a year people arrested for their tweets in the UK based on a Times report from April.
That is, I think, something like, like, thirty to fifty times more than the amount of people that get arrested in Russia for online speech.
It is just, they are, they are truly the world's new North Korea.
And I think the entire US UK special relationship has to be immediately renegotiated because this is a tyrannical hellhole state who is trying to export their censorship here.
I have to add one more thing.
And I think we discussed this last week.
The British government is also fining American tech companies, American social media companies like four chan for not censoring what the British state wants.
While these are American websites hosted in America, run by Americans.
So this is like no taxation without representation all over again.
They're trying to tax us from abroad.
They're trying to arrest people who visit the United States and make speech in the United States, the moment they return to the UK.
I think all negotiations have to be grounded to an immediate halt until we can figure out what the hell is going on in the UK.
natalie winters
Now, if I'm not mistaken, I feel like I've had you on a lot of times these past few months to talk about what seemed to be the progress that the Trump administration, particularly Vice President Vance, was making when it came to negotiating with the UK over a lot of this censorship stuff, not just against their own people, but like you said, more concerning Americans or at least speech that's done on American soil.
So where do we stand with all that?
Was a lot of that just performative or what are the forces that are sort of, you know, dragging from the pits of censorship hell the UK back into what they were doing before?
mike benz
Well, there was some initial success with getting a delayed enforcement of their online, their online censorship act.
It's called the online harms act, but it's the digital censorship act.
Its implementation was delayed because of tariff threats by the Trump administration, but it ultimately ended up going through and is being enforced now.
Really, we're kind of in month two of its very serious enforcement.
And right now, there's to me, this gets back to the question of the US UK special relationship and what needs to be done in order to actually grind this to a halt.
We're not going to stop this.
The fact is, the British use the Americans for their war in Ukraine, for their wars in Afghanistan, for their wars in Africa.
There are British mining interests, British banking interests that are completely dependent on US manpower, US muscle.
You know, NATO itself is best conceptualized as a British operation.
I mean, this was famously Lord Esme, the first head of NATO famously quipped, NATO's purpose is to keep the Americans in, the Russians out, and the Germans down.
That presupposes it's a British operation to use American muscle and American money to accomplish British aims.
Enough of this.
I think that it is a mistake, frankly, for President Trump to campaign on getting all these countries to give more and more money to NATO when we're effectively giving it to British military operations.
I understand that there are political constraints and he needs to keep a big tent.
So obviously the president will do what the president does.
But I can't help but point out that every dollar you're giving to NATO is going to help a British banker.
That's going to mean more Christopher Steele's running operations here in the US.
They're hosts to all of our censors in exile, the Nina Jankovic type.
So they've all fled to these UK NGOs and are working with the UK government.
We saw the Biden administration working directly with the UK Foreign Office and the UK Digital Ministry in order to do joint US UK censorship work.
This is getting way, we're way past way too far already.
And there has been this protected bind, this kind of cocon of warmth between the U the US and UK since effectively World War I, World War II, and there has been an entanglement of our intelligence networks,
famously NSA and GCHQ, CIA and MI six, all these networks are hopelessly twined, and there needs to begin to be this unentanglement, this disentanglement, because the message has to be sent.
If we don't stop them from taxing our tech companies and taxing our speech and arresting people who speak there, speak here, the moment they go over there, then.
Then I mean, they're taking more aggressive action against us than China is.
Even China doesn't think about that.
natalie winters
Just give me a few minutes.
You talked about how the Biden regime was very involved with a lot of this.
Have you seen any of these people sort of enter this back via these NGOs that you were talking about or are still involved in this, not through the government purview, but more through the sort of, you know, private sector capacity?
mike benz
Absolutely.
I'll give you an example.
The Super Bowl of censorship planning every year is kind of a tie between the Atlanta Council 360 conference and the University of Cambridge Disinformation Summit.
The University of Cambridge, I cannot tell you how many, how many USAID fund, how, what proportion of British NGOs and British universities are funded by US State Department and USAID money as well as DARPA grants and the like.
We export so much of these development funds to British institutions.
I don't think a single dollar should go to the University of Cambridge.
A single dollar should go to the London School of Economics.
A single dollar should go to King's College London.
Every dollar of investment in London, in Cambridge, in frankly, the British tyrannical government state has to be reevaluated by this State Department, by this Defense Department, by the development agencies and bureaus that still remain until this entire relationship is renegotiated.
They are punching us square in the face with these censorship laws.
They are robbing American tech companies of our money.
They are robbing our social media companies of our money.
They are robbing American taxpayers of our money with every dollar that we invest.
It's time to punch back and they need our money.
They can't win their wars without our money.
They don't get their mining deals in Eritrea or Afghanistan or Ukraine without our money.
Let's see six months of them getting donuts and see what they look like at the negotiating table after that.
natalie winters
Mike Benz, there is yet another scandal that we have to get into after the break.
So I'd appreciate you hanging with me.
This one's even crazier, I guess, at the intersection of speech, migrant rights and your tax dollars subsidizing, I guess, their better lifestyles than yours.
That one also hits close to home here.
here in the United States.
We got Mike Benz, Reagan Reese, who has just had a wonderful interview with President Trump and Representative Mary Miller on the latest going on in Chicago.
We'll be back right.
More Mike Benz after the break.

When inflation jumps, when you hear the national debt is over 37 trillion dollars, do you ever think maybe now would be a good time to buy some gold?

Claim your eligibility and get your free infokit.
Again, that's Bannon to 989898.
Welcome back to the war room.
We still have Mike Benz with us.
Now, Mike, I want to kind of blend this into yet another, I think just wild double standard when it comes to not just the housing of refugees but the treatment of protesters, people burning flags.
I know that's been outlawed here in the United States, but when you juxtapose that in the UK with what a lot of these, you know, Palestinian and Hamas demonstrators are allowed to do, it's quite an interesting and telling double standard, I think.
But can you walk us through what is going on in Epping with regards to the housing of migrants?
mike benz
Well, it's an extraordinary story.
You have this essentially peaceful town that was essentially invaded by a hotel was effectively bribed with tens of millions of dollars by the British state to house migrants from Afghanistan and Eritrea and the like.
You know, these are war torn conflict zones.
And so this, you know, peaceful little picturesque town has been completely overrun with this war refugee problem.
And the people were up in arms about it.
They passed a resolution to try to get, basically block the hotel from housing these people.
And you know how this goes.
They do the same thing here in New York and San Francisco.
They get these very nice hotels.
They give war refugees who are serving the CIA or MI six.
They're sending remittances back to their families.
So it's effectively USAID funding.
And so the more free stuff the taxpayers give them, the more that taxpayer money ends up in remittance payments back to these shadow CIA, MI6 networks in war torn Eritrea or Afghanistan or Sudan.
That's what you'll see.
The demographics are all in these CIA conflict zones.
And this is effectively one of these bargaining chips that the foreign policy establishment has with these populations.
If you guys go to war for us, if you do favors for us, if you give us local protection, we'll bring your families over.
And, you know, none of the people making those policies live near these war refugees are afflicted by these mass incidents of rape and sexual assault or crime.
They impose them on essentially the lower middle class, and it completely destroys the towns and cities and villages they live in.
But what happened was effectively a judge, uh, turned the people's will and imposed the migrant, uh, health, you know, the war refugee hell scape on the city of Epping.
And this has caused effectively a revolt online to the extent that it's legal to do so.
It's mostly being led, frankly, by a few brave souls in the UK combined with Elon Musk and other American allied, like-minded folks who believe in free speech.
And so you've seen the English flag has been trending on X. There has been a big move to support the Advanced Party in the UK by Elon.
This is the sort of alternative to Nigel Farage's Reform Party.
I think what Elon and Tommy Robinson and the like have been saying is that Nigel Farage is not going far enough in standing up for British freedom and standing up for the British people.
There have been some reports that deputies in the Reform Party are being sacked or being told not to retweet Tommy Robinson and the like.
So there's kind of a little bit of a civil war on the populist right.
And there's, you know, now kind of the beginnings of a serious movement to try to put a party forward who is neither Tory nor Labour in the UK as both of those parties are as captured here as the pre Trump Coca-Cola and Pepsi, you know, George Bush, Bill Clinton choice that you had for the past 25 years in this country before Trump.
natalie winters
Mike, I'm just curious, the ramifications here in the United States, you always talk about how there's sort of the same actors that are pushing for this.
Obviously, the Biden regime, there is more collaboration there.
But what do you think the takeaway should be for us here?
mike benz
Kill every dollar of funding to the city of London.
They're big boys.
They have big banks.ks.
They'll be all right.
A message has to be sent.
We will know the right thing is being done from this State Department and this White House when there's a when there's a screaming headline about how upset the UK ambassador to the US is about the state of negotiations and the pull out of US financial investment in the British establishment and the British foreign policy realm.
This has gone too far at this point.
They are arresting people.
There was always this idea that the US and UK are.
are they different systems.
They have a monarchy over there for what it's worth.
They don't have a First Amendment, but there has been this big historical bond.
But the idea that you can make a tweet in Arizona and then think that you can fly to London and everything will be fine and you end up being hauled away by five armed guards awaiting prison, only allowed bail if you agree to never open your mouth again.
This is the sort of thing that is frankly a major international incident and a message has to be sent.
If you punch people on American soil.
You'll be hit by three times that force in the United States.

natalie winters
Honored to go to our next guest, the eye color, the gold standard of a White House correspondent.
That is my friend Reagan Rees of the Daily Caller.
Reagan, yet again, you have a wonderful interview with President Trump.
Give us some of the top line hits.
I know there's been like eighty articles right now.
I've read a lot of articles or I've read a lot of articles or I've read articles probably like every minute of your interview with him, but a lot to get into.
Walk us through some of the heaviest hitters.
reagan reese
Well, first of all, let me say I spent an hour with the president in the Oval Office on Friday and I woke up Saturday morning to liberals thinking that President Trump is dead.
And so I didn't think it was going to fall on me to prove that the president is very much alive and he totally was.
When I walked in the Oval Office, he was more energetic than I've ever seen anyone in my life, alive, ready to chat, was ready for me.
And we had a really productive conversation.
He told me that he is open to reopening insane asylums to clean up the streets of DC.
He explained to me the thought process behind allowing six hundred thousand Chinese students over two years in the United States, which I think is a big policy that matters to the MAGA base, wondering why he did that and why he doesn't want universities to fail.
He also said that he believes Israel has lost its influence on US Congress over the last fifteen years and that it's not what it used to be.
He added that he wouldn't be bothered at all to see John Brennan and James Coney arrested on live television.
He talked about the Russia and Ukraine war.
He also explained to me that why he is considering using US forces in the air to end the war in security guarantees.
And then, of course, the president took me out to the Rose Garden to show me where he is going to hang all the presidential portraits.
He's going to call it the Presidential Wall of Fame.
And I asked him, Mr. President, are you going to hang Joe Biden's portrait?
And he said to me, all right, let's show you.
I want to hang a photo of the auto pen.
And he asked me for my advice on whether I think he should do it or not.
And I said, Mr. President, I think it's very Trump.
I think you have to do it.
So you can expect a photo of the autopenn to be hanging in Joe Biden's place on the Presidential Wall of Fame in about two weeks in the Rose Garden.
natalie winters
And did you get to see it or what did the gallery look like?
reagan reese
So when you walk out to the Rose Garden right now, it's being marked a little bit.
There are like placeholders for the frames.
But President Trump did bring out like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson's portraits in very beautiful gold frames to kind of give me an example of how some of the portraits are going to look like.
And he had a huge stack of papers printed on his desk, I'm sure to show me different articles and things that he's reading.
And right on top was that photo of the Biden auto pen.
And I believe he actually truthed it out before.
It's circulating right now on Twitter.
And so that's what you can expect.
I think it's a little pen that says auto pen.
It's going to go right where Joe Biden should be in between two pictures of Trump.
natalie winters
That's an absolutely wonderful troll.
Reagan, if you can hang with us during the break, I want to actually get into some of the substance behind that.
I don't think a lot of people know, but you were actually a White House correspondent during the days of the Biden regime.
If you can believe it, the Daily Caller had someone there.
I know you weren't probably called on.
on nearly as much and something tells me you were not given the access that you have now to the president.
I can't imagine you doing an interview with Biden.
I guess I can't imagine him doing interviews that remain unedited, but I'd love to just get some of your kind of inside scoop there and why this portrait really probably is justified.
If anything, the White House is still probably going pretty soft, hanging with us during the break.
Warren Posse will be right back.
More Reagan Reese and, like I said, Representative Mary Miller of Illinois, I think the only Republican calling for President Trump to deploy National Guard to Chicago.
While there's only one, but she'll join us after.
unidentified
We'll be right back.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
natalie winters
The If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this.
In today's AI and cyber world, scammers are stealing home titles with more ease than ever and your equity is the target.
Here's how it works.
Criminals forge your signature on one document, use a fake notary stamp, pay a small fee with your county and boom, your home title has been transferred out of your name.
Then they take out loans using your equity or even sell your property.
You won't even know it's happened until you get a collection or foreclosure notice.
So let me ask you, when was the last time you checked your home title?
If you're like me, the answer is never.
And that's exact why I trust Home Titalock.
Use promo code Steve sixty at hometitalock dot com to make sure your title is still in your name.
You'll also get a free title history report plus sixty days of their million dollar triple lock protection for only one dollar.
That's 24/7 monitoring of your title, urgent alerts for any changes and a fraud should happen.
They'll spend up to one million dollars to fix it.
Go to hometitalock dot com now.
Use promo code Steve sixty.
That's hometitalock dot com promo code Steve sixty.
That sounds sort of like an auto pen scam.
I'm talking about.
I'm sure that's probably been done, but we still got Reagan Reese with us.
Reagan, you have done some wonderful reportful reporting, like I was saying, on sort of the juxtaposition between the Biden regime and the Trump administration, very intentional with the diction there.
But just walk us through, yes, obviously it's a troll, it's funny, but what you sort of experienced firsthand during your time there and why this portrait is probably not that far from reality.
reagan reese
Well, it can be boiled down to the fact that we really never saw President Biden.
And I covered the Biden White House for a year, a little over a year.
I got one question of President Biden and his answer, he didn't even speak his answer to me.
He just shook his head.
And I got three questions of why White House press secretary, Kareem Jean Pierre, two of which she gave me because there was a snowstorm.
No one showed up to the White House briefing.
And I was essentially one of the only people left that she hadn't called on.
She ran out of people to call on.
But when you hear people talk about the Biden auto pen scandal, it's because President Biden, we now know, and this was reported, I was reading back the New York Times reporting, didn't sign his pardons from December to January.
He only signed one, and it was that of his son, Hunter Biden.
And President Biden actually called the New York Times to talk about this.
And he said, yeah, I had to authorize the use of the auto pen because I just had too many pardons.
And the New York Times goes on to report that what would happen is Biden would give verbal permission to his most senior aides to use the auto pen.
So no written record of Biden telling anyone to use the auto pen.
They would then pass that on to their lower aides, their assistants, who would then summarize in their words what they were told by their boss, who would then send an email giving permission to the lady who manages the auto pen to sign off on whatever.
And when there were little changes that were needed to be made to groups of pardons or communication documents, whatever.
They wouldn't go to President Biden for every single one.
Biden would just largely sign off on a large topic or category for pardons, et cetera, whatever they were putting out.
And so they wouldn't even check with him about little individual things that were made.
And of course, you don't expect a president to make to keep track of every single little development that happens within their White House.
But this is seriously concerning that it was this large game of telephone that was being played in the most important office in the entire world.
And so when I woke up on Saturday hearing that people were.
so concerned that President Trump hadn't made a public appearance in two days.
I mean, I remember times being at the White House where we didn't see the president for several days and the photographers would rush out to take a photo of the sunset because that's the most interesting thing that happened at the White House and you never, ever heard complaints like what we have heard or the hysteria of what we've heard over the last few days.
natalie winters
And Reagan, you're obviously in DC, so you've also seen DC under Biden, under Trump.
I think even Mayor Bowser was forced to admit that President Trump is cleaning up the city.
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on how the DC cleanup is going so far.
Someone who, you know, is always in and out of the White House, you're around DC a lot.
What's your experience been?
reagan reese
Well, Natalie, I moved from Capitol Hill during the Biden administration because I didn't feel safe.
We had an attempt of break in at my place on Capitol Hill.
I was like, I can't do this any more.
I didn't feel safe walking through Union Station, walking through the Metro.
Actually, the only time I felt safe walking through Union Station was when President Biden gave a speech there and they cleaned it up and removed all the homeless people for his speech.
And the very next day, they were all back and it was back to being unsafe.
I told this to President Trump in the Oval Office.
I've witnessed crime in Virginia.
And now that I'm going to work every day in DC and there's National Guard at almost every metro stop, making sure you get on the metro safely.
And there's 22 federal agencies who are patrolling the streets every night to keep our streets safe.
It just feels so much more different.
And then I'm getting statistics from the White House every day about the number of people they've arrested.
And of course, the number of total arrests, it's over a thousand.
That's very impressive.
But I'm constantly struck by the amount of illegal aliens that they're arresting every night in Washington, and that's unbelievable.
I can't believe how many illegal aliens were in Washington, DC.
And the White House notes that these are illegal aliens who are being arrested on additional crimes.
They're not being arrested for being illegal aliens.
They've committed other crimes that has caused them to be arrested by, you know, the Trump crackdown of DC.
It's something that deserves so much more attention than what it's getting.
natalie winters
Reagan, if people want to read the piece, follow you, stay up to date with all of your wonderful reporting from the White House, where can they go to do that?
reagan reese
I'm on Twitter, Instagram, Reagan Reese underscore.
natalie winters
Reagan, thank you so much for joining us and thank you for being, like I said, the gold standard of the White House correspondent.
reagan reese
You're the best, Natalie.
unidentified
Thanks so much.
natalie winters
Thank you for joining us.
And Denver, if we can actually roll that clip of Mayor Bowser being forced to admit a Trump W, let's hit it.

For car jackings, the difference between this period, this twenty day period of this federal surge and last year represents a 87 percent reduction in car jackings in Washington, DC.
We know that when car jackings go down, when use of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery goes down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer.
So this surge has been important to us for that reason.

I guess, uh, Governor Pritzker in Chicago may have missed that press conference, maybe too busy, uh, campaigning for 2028.
Though I would think, not just being soft on crime, but pro crime is probably not going to play too well with the American people, let alone those of you all who live in Chicago and know full well the reality of what that city is.
If you guys remember, I went to college over there on the South Side of Chicago, that's where UChicago was.
And I can attest that I definitely think we need some form of the National Guard, certainly an up to law enforcement presence there.
You would think most Republicans in Illinois would agree, but we really only have one who's being vocal about that, and that is Representative Mary Miller, who joins us now.
Representative Miller, I'm just curious to sort of get your top line assessment.
We're being told by Pritzker that the clip we just played from Mayor Bowser is fake, that the deployments of these various law enforcement agencies don't work.
What are your constituents telling you?
How do they feel about their sort of lived reality on the ground?
mary miller
Well, the people are afraid and he's trying to gaslight them and force them to deny reality.
And he has a track record of not telling the truth.
So he should humble himself and get on the phone to call President Trump and get help.
And, you know, it's a year ago, he was happy to have the National Guard come in to protect his friends at the DNC.
So why not come in and protect the wonderful people of Chicago that are suffering right now?
This is a tragedy for them.
natalie winters
And just walk us through the problem for those who aren't maybe super familiar with what life is like in Chicago, or is it all of Illinois, or what parts are we talking about where you think this kind of additional force, either protection or people being there would actually be advantageous?
mary miller
Right.
Well, of course, the crime is concentrated in Chicago where the people are, but JB Pritzker rolled out the red carpet for illegals, which has exacerbated the problem.
But this has been an ongoing problem.
The Democrats have controlled Chicago for almost a hundred years, and now it's turned into a virtual war zone.
And I do want to say that Chicago is a beautiful city with a great history, wonderful people, and so much potential.
But the citizens that live there are being terrorized by crime.
It is a virtual war zone.
This past weekend, there were 54 shootings this past weekend.
Eight people died.
And this is typical.
Since January 1st, I believe there were 147,000 crimes reported and there were only I think 16% of those resulted in arrests.
And then even that, we have something called the Safety Act in Illinois, which releases criminals onto the street without having to post any bond.
It is a disaster for people.
And President Trump has a proven record.
He's tamped down the crime in two weeks in Washington, DC and made it a safe city.
But he has a record of proving that he cares about the American people.
And the first role of the government is to protect the people.
And that's what he's done by securing our border, standing up for rule of law, getting the National Guard in DC and tamping down crime there.
And I completely believe President Trump that he is coming to Chicago.
natalie winters
Well, I think you get to the heart of it, right?
The idea of protecting the people.
I always say Democrats have this perverse view, I think, of the social contract.
You see it whether it's immigration, the H one B stuff, right?
They think that our government should be actively working to undermine whether it's Americans' quality of life, wages, name, name your pick.
But there's something, I think, bizarre and almost uncanny levels of sinister about the way that Pritzker is doing his interviews where he's just so flippant and glib about, oh yeah, I guess there were fifty four attacks or homicides committed.
He just kind of laughs it off, says that it's a part of city life.
Is this sort of just like the Democrat mindset, the left very far left progressive?
I mean, I don't think there's much respect for humanity, but is this just sort of that on full display?
mary miller
And they've proven it that they would rather side with thugs, with gangbangers, with illegals and the criminals over the victims or the citizens.
And JB Pritzker can say whatever he wants.
He doesn't care about the people.
I don't, I've not heard one story of him going to visit a victim or the family of a victim, which that proves a lot.
President Trump's always reaching out to victims.
He wants to comfort them.
He wants to hear their story and he wants them to be able to tell their story.
natalie winters
Yeah, and like I was saying, there's this evil, I think, compounding nature where, you know, they won't do anything for Americans.
But then just today, right, you see the DOJ suing Pritzker for giving financial aid, free tuition, all those kinds of benefits to illegal aliens.
Can you walk us through your thoughts to that suit?
Is that the kind of action that you want from President Trump?
mary miller
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Well, you know, President Trump needs to bring ICE in in a big way because we are a safe haven.
Well, we're a sanctuary state and Chicago's a sanctuary city for illegals.
They can't even handle their own problems.
And now we're inviting illegals to come in and picking up the tab for them completely.
And then we keep expanding benefits.
So I know Pritzker's expanding the benefits for higher education for illegals now.
It's completely outrageous.
I don't know if you've heard the story of the woman in Winnetka.
Her mom actually came in my office and she was a guest of President Trump's at the White House because he wanted to hear her story, but Representative Miller, we have to jump to the point.
natalie winters
And I want to give you time to tell that story and give that woman justice.
We're going to come back with a clip of Pritzker just flippantly dismissing all the murders and homicides like the one you were just referring to.
unidentified
Right.
natalie winters
In his city, we got Representative Miller, we still have a lot of stuff to get through.
We'll be back.
More war room after this short break.
unidentified
We rejoice when there is no war.
Let's take down the CCB.
But you're going to hear people, especially Patty, this past weekend, 54 shot, 7 dead.
steve bannon
Yeah.
unidentified
They're going to say the city is not safe.
Would you ask me?
your friends to ride the L after midnight or after, you know, nine o'clock at night, even to come down to the city from O'Hare?
steve bannon
Look, big cities have crime.
There's no doubt about it.
unidentified
But let's just pay attention to what President Trump is targeting Chicago.
He's overlooking red states that have much higher crime rates.
natalie winters
There's crime and then there's, you know, unforced criminality by importing an entire subset of a population that is members of gangs, transnational gangs involved in the drug trade and apparently decapitating.
As Representative Miller, I'm sorry to have cut you off.
mary miller
off but if you want to pick up where you left off just talking about your your constituents and the people that you've met with who i think fritzger could probably do well to meet with too yes well chicago has become a war zone the democrats have had control for almost a hundred years The murder rate in Chicago is higher than any city in our country.
It's actually 15 times higher than Delhi, India.
It is a disaster for the people that work there, for the businesses, and for travelers.
It is a war zone, and he needs help.
Now, besides, so since January 1st, there's been a There have been 147,000 reported crimes in Chicago, and of those, there have been arrests and only 16.2% of them.
That is pathetic.
On top of that, they are being released because of the Safety Act, which JB Pritzker has lauded as being good for the people in Illinois.
And in light of the Safety Act, what I was telling you is I had a mom come in my office, a very traumatized mother.
Her daughter was beheaded by an illegal in Winnetka and put in a trash can.
51 days later, the police found the body and according to the mother she he admitted that he beheaded her daughter the judge released that man saying he wasn't a threat to the community or a flight risk and let him go back to the crime scene i can't i can't fathom that this happened thankfully president trump sent ice to winnetka and arrested the man and he will be held until his court date but
Literally, this is proof that JB Prisker sides with thugs, criminals and illegals before the citizens, before the law abiding citizens in Illinois.
natalie winters
Representative Miller, we appreciate you for speaking out.
I wish more of your Republican colleagues do the same.
Before we have you back on in the meantime, where can people go to follow you, check out everything you're working on, or if we have some of your constituents listening and they want to talk to you, where can they go to do that?
mary miller
Sure, just Rep Mary Miller.
natalie winters
Thank you, ma'am, for joining us.
mary miller
You're welcome.
natalie winters

So thank you for gracing us with your presence.
I hear you are hot.
off the White House, but also a perfect segue from our last guest talking about bad governors in the Midwest.
Everyone is curious.
I know you're maybe Mullen, Mullen, a run yourself to meeting with President Trump or any of this, you know, crime talk, this what we've been seeing play out in DC influenced your decision.
mike lindell
Yeah, absolutely.
I've been in DC now, today and tomorrow I'm going to be at the White House and both days.
unidentified
And, and, Natalie, I made a walk.
mike lindell
Now I've been coming to DC now every month for the past, uh, since he's been back in office.
And I made, I had to make about a mile and a half walk there by myself today to the White House and it is a different feeling here that you feel more secure.
Now granted, I have the same people coming to me.
Thank you for saving the country and Mike, what are you doing?
Blah, blah, blah.
But these, you don't feel threatened.
You just feel it's, you know, it's just too, too, you know, protesting here and be happy here.

You feel more secure.
And Natalie, the mayor saying here, what was it just a week ago or whatever saying, hey, this is working.
This is working.
And me being from Minnesota, where we know it's not working.
Remember, our governor, they burned down the streets of Minneapolis.
We have the most nonsensical governor the world has ever known.
He gave driver's licenses, everybody, to all the illegals.
They all get everything free.
They get, you know, here's your driver's license.
Do you think they're not voting?
Of course they're voting.
And so, yeah, this doesn't really put an influence on me, everybody.
Everyone knows I've been very much considering running for governor of Minnesota.
And I will tell you this now, the polls came back.
And one of the preliminary polls, election security is now in the top three in Minnesota, what people are concerned about in this next election.
Some of the places in the country has become the number one issue.

Thank you guys for hanging with me.
