The Mike Lindell Show with Heather Mullins - 02.11.26
Ben Bergquam exposes cartel drone networks—like the Gulf Cartel’s collaboration with NGOs (Catholic Charities, UNHCR) and Hamas-linked Venezuelan cartels—using counter-surveillance to evade ICE under Biden’s open-border policies, while legacy media ignores crimes like sexual exploitation and Darien Gap violence. Garland Favarito reveals Georgia’s Fulton County Election Hub raid warrant aligns with 2019 whistleblower claims, including 50 missing ballot boxes despite officials’ denials. Zen Honeycutt uncovers 95% of U.S. military meals contain glyphosate and banned pesticides, sourced from China, urging legislative action to replace toxic food with regenerative organic alternatives for under 2% of the budget. These cases reveal systemic threats to sovereignty, election integrity, and public health—demanding accountability from politicians, NGOs, and corporate lobbyists. [Automatically generated summary]
I'm Heather Mullins, guest hosting for Mike Lindell.
Today, we have another packed show.
A lot to cover here on today's episode.
The first thing I want to bring to your attention, you may have heard a headline over the night that there was some airspace temporarily suspended over El Paso, Texas.
There's an Axios headline that said, unusual FAA restriction closes El Paso airspace for 10 days.
That restriction has since been lifted.
And this morning, I did get word from the Pentagon.
They put out an official statement, which we posted on Lindel TV's X page, saying the official statement was Mexican cartel drones breached U.S. airspace.
The Department of War took action to disable the drones.
The FAA and DOW have determined there is no threat to commercial travel.
So they have lifted that temporary ban on travel down there.
But, you know, we do actually have a source on the ground who's going to be joining us tomorrow to do a little more digging into the cartel operations in that region, seeing what he can find out.
But today, we have another guest joining us in this first segment.
He's no stranger to the cartel's behavior.
He's an incredible investigative journalist.
Ben Bergquam, host of Lawn Border over at Real America's Voice and founder of Frontline America, joins us now.
Great to be with you.
So, Ben, you and I, obviously, we worked together over at Real America's Voice for a while.
You did incredible work there documenting just, you know, the cartels, the Biden administration's failure to secure the border and what was really happening.
You know, right now, like, what's your initial reaction, I guess, to this news, this breaking news that the cartels had drones that breached U.S. airspace?
It's kind of old news, actually.
It's been going on for years now.
The cartels have used them for counter surveillance against ICE and Border Patrol in particular.
Under Joe Biden, when the Democrats were inviting in millions of illegals, they were using the CBP1 app, bringing in these groups of fake asylum seekers.
The cartel would send over groups.
They'd be picked up by the NGOs and they'd use drones to see where Border Patrol were.
As Border Patrol moved to deal with these resources, they would then shift the illegals that didn't want to get caught.
We call them runners to the areas, you know, a mile down the line, or the guys that were running drugs.
Sometimes, in fact, they even use drones to move drugs across the border to drop them and then fly back into the United States or back into Mexico.
So, this has been going on for a long time.
The difference now is that it's basically the shutting down the airspace is the difference that you don't really hear very often.
So, it's my guess is it's something more significant than they've seen because cartels operate drones all over the place, especially in places like El Paso or Juarez, just to the west of that in Sunland Park, New Mexico.
They've been operating them forever.
And that's actually what's interesting there is when you take off out of El Paso, oftentimes you'll fly over Mexican territory, you'll fly over Juarez.
So, it's interesting.
So, clearly, there was something more going on than just what the cartel's typical operations are down there, but it's nothing new.
I mean, this is a war.
This is the actual war that we should have been fighting for the last couple decades instead of spending our time, resources, and talent over in other foreign wars.
This is where we should be focused.
Absolutely.
And one of the things that I felt like your coverage under the Biden administration really highlighted was just how sophisticated these cartels and their operations really are.
Because, you know, the general public, I feel like, had sort of this misrepresentation of cartels for movies and Hollywood that maybe it's just these small-time drug dealers and things like that, but it's actually like far more sophisticated.
What can you tell us just about who was funding those operations?
Because you had actually gone into, I vaguely remember like some kind of village.
Like, I think it was you and Oscar, and you were walking around and there were these immaculate, beautiful buildings, and it was all part of sort of the operation that funded the trafficking of the drugs and the cartels and all that.
What can you tell us about that?
Well, there's this combination now.
You know, when we were covering it under Joe Biden, we spent, we did four trips through the Darien Gap in Panama from Colombia to Panama and back from Panama to Colombia.
And in this, you know, in our journeys, in our documentaries covering this, what you find is it's not just cartels.
So you've got several major cartels across Mexico down into Central and South America.
You know, in the area of the Darien Gap, it was mainly the golf cartel and they operate.
We actually had a hit out on us from Nicokli, Colombia, after our coverage down there showing the drug boats and these human trafficking boats that used to be tour boats that were working in conjunction with United Nations and many of these same NGOs.
And so what you have is you have the transnational criminal organizations that operate not just in Mexico and Central America, but all over the world.
They're operating in Europe.
The Venezuelan drug cartels, the Solus cartel operates directly, coordinates with Hamas and Hezbollah.
They send their drugs into the United States, but they also send them over into Amsterdam and into Europe.
And so there is a massive network of these transnational criminal organizations that all either directly or indirectly either work with each other or compete with each other.
And then they all end up in the United States and the West.
So Europe and the United States where the majority of the money is for human and drug trafficking.
But the worst part about it, you know, I expect cartels, criminal organizations to be bad.
They're criminals.
That's kind of their, you know, by definition, they're bad.
But the worst part that we uncovered is this coordination.
And oftentimes it's indirectly, but the NGOs, United Nations, OIM, UNHCR, along with all of the NGOs in America, there's nine primary NGOs that operate the human, the, I would say, human trafficking, but it's the unaccompanied minors program through the Refugee Resettlement Program.
There's nine major organizations, the major ones that people know of Catholic charities, Lutheran Social Services, Jewish Family Services.
They're all part of this web.
And what we found is basically it's an illegal alien human smuggling travel agency that operates globally.
They smuggle drugs, they smuggle people.
Some of it's for so-called humanitarian operations, where people are trying to leave places like Venezuela.
We saw millions of people that wanted freedom in Venezuela, couldn't get it.
And so they decided to leave because they saw the invitation by Joe Biden, as well as child trafficking, human trafficking, some of the things that we're learning about on Epstein Island that's been going on for years, where, you know, people, sadistic, evil people want children to take advantage of.
A lot of the illegal aliens were contracted or were taught by these same criminal organizations and NGOs that you have an easier time coming into America if you have a child.
So there's basically recycling networks down in Mexico where you can purchase a child or rent a child and take them across the border.
All of this working together.
And so in some cases, you'd have these organizations pretending to be good, providing food and water at different spots.
And then other times, we were contacted directly by Border Patrol saying, hey, this NGO is operating as the middleman.
It's basically the front for the cartel in this area.
They're the ones providing logistics, telling us where to pick up, but they're clearly also involved with other parts of these smuggling operations.
So basically what it's become is a massive billion dollar, multi-billion dollar travel agency globally that operates in just about every country in the world now.
And that's what we had.
The reason that President Trump, the reason that ICE is having to do what it's doing now to remove millions of illegals from America is because these organizations, the cartels, it's basically a three-legged stool now.
You have traders in our own government, you have cartels operating, and then you have these so-called NGOs that are working all simultaneously.
They invited the invasion into America, and now they're the ones obstructing ICE from doing their job to remove them from this country.
It's massively sophisticated.
And when you talk about how when you're pumping billions of dollars into these organizations, if you just take the cartels, say the Gulf Cartel as an example, you're pumping billions of dollars into their organization.
Well, with that money, internationally, you can buy the best weapons, you can buy the best technology, you can get anything you need to do your operations.
And when people think about this, this isn't your local gang members around the corner selling drugs.
These are sophisticated criminal organizations with leaders that operate basically as mob bosses, or you could think of them as CEOs for the company.
If you saw them operating outside of the criminal organization, they would just be sophisticated organizations that are operating with the purpose of making as much money and getting as much power as they possibly can.
They just happen to be operating in the human and drug trafficking space.
Media's Role in Terrorism00:14:48
Yeah.
I mean, so well said, Ben, and you can tell just by the way that you just explained that you've done years worth of research on this.
The legacy media doesn't tell the stories that you've been telling.
And in fact, not only do they not tell them, they're actually almost like the propaganda arm of the enterprise that you just described because they've provided cover for all of these operations to take place.
And I want to show a video that you got from the Darien Gap of these family with what looked like relatively young girls that had been sexually assaulted along the way.
And while you look at the legacy media showing images of a five-year-old boy abandoned by his father and left in the possession of ICE, they show this young boy to demonize ICE, when in fact, ICE are the very members of law enforcement that are fighting to protect the people and the children, like the girls you're about to see.
So take a listen to this clip that you got Ben at the Darien Gap.
And open up her legs and get in the middle of everybody and show everybody how she was traumatized.
This is what you're doing.
This is what the so-called compassionate open borders left is doing to these people.
Oh, God, it makes me so emotional just watching that because those are the stories that don't get told, Ben.
And kudos to you for being down there doing real journalism and just showcasing this is what ICE is really doing in our communities.
They're trying to round up the people that hurt girls like that.
I mean, I don't know really what else to say.
Yeah, so again, it's the hypocrisy of the left claiming compassion.
It's really the deception of the devil.
The devil comes as an angel of light, but really it's just pure darkness.
It comes with words like sanctuary, but in reality, it's the pit of hell.
And that's what we saw.
Again, we did four trips through the Dairy and we did multiple other trips into Panama and Colombia and all over Central America, Guatemala.
And this is what we found everywhere we went.
In fact, the end of that video is the first shootout I was involved in in the Darien Gap with the Gulf Cartel.
They had just the men that had just sexually assaulted and raped that group robbed that group as well.
They were in the process of raping another girl when we arrived.
The Centerfront team, it's a special forces, Border Patrol.
It's basically their equivalent of Border Special Forces, or maybe our Borstar or Bor Tak units.
They actually teach our special operators jungle warfare down in Panama.
And so these were the guys we were embedded with, six of them.
We ended up breaking up into two teams, three of them on one side of the river, three on the other.
And in the middle, got in a gunfight.
We were on one side of the river, captured two of them, shot and killed one, and then were able to had to air vac a girl out who was actually shot by one of them that they were in the process of raping when we arrived.
This is what open looks like.
I think we actually have a clip, another clip of those guys.
Watch this and then tell me if those are the two that you guys apprehended during that shootout.
Condoms, condoms, four there, two here, three, that's eight.
All in between all the money and everything else.
There you go, Democrats.
This is your open borders right there.
Got these scumbags coming in from Columbia.
Got his gun, his gun, ammo, and the condoms are using to rape the women.
That's what your open borders do.
This is what your open borders do.
Yeah, so those were the two of the two of the golf cartel members that we captured.
The other was shot and killed.
And what's crazy about this, Heather, is before we went on this trip.
So we had gone, we had done the first trip starting in the Coakley, Columbia, and then going across into Panama and going with the flow of illegals.
This trip was the second one where we were going against the flow.
And in that first trip, we actually were the first ones to uncover, we call them rape kits.
They were being given out by the United Nations and this NGO called CARE down into Cokely, Columbia.
And they were bags.
I actually have one in my room.
Bags with condoms, birth control, morning after pills, and whistles for women knowing that they're going to get raped.
Rather than saying, don't go do this, they would hand them these kits, knowing that there were these guys in the jungle.
And the guys that were actually raping them, in this case, the golf cartel, they were both, they were twofold.
During their days on working for the cartel, they would be the smugglers bringing the illegals through.
On their days off, they would go, because they know the routes, they would go position themselves to rape, rob, and murder people as they came through.
And so this is what open borders actually looks like.
And to all the liberals out there, the leftists that are screaming about ICE, what ICE is doing now is undoing the damage that Joe Biden and these open borders Democrats created.
And in cities like Chicago, where the sanctuary idea came from 40 years ago, this whole mindset of the left saying everybody's welcome.
You hear idiots like Billie Eilish saying no one's illegal on stolen land and no borders, no walls, no USA at all.
They have all these chants.
The reality is it's about undermining America from within.
It's using these folks as pawns in this game, and they don't care what happens to them.
You know, that video of those young girls, I could show dozens of videos like that where we went and interviewed people as they were going.
Without exception, every single person that we interviewed that had come through the Darien said they recommended nobody else do it.
They'd been lied to.
They had been told one thing by the NGOs that told them it was, you know, to go on this journey.
And what they found was a living hell when they got there.
That's what we had for four years under Joe Biden.
Now we have President Trump and ICE trying to undo that damage.
They're finding the human traffickers.
They're finding the missing kids.
And just to give you another example, a friend of mine works in the worked in the Anna Company miners program under President Trump previously in his first administration, as well as Joe Biden.
In Trump's first administration, they started requiring DNA testing for the kids that were being brought across and the adults that were bringing them.
Joe Biden ended that.
And not only did they stop the DNA testing, they stopped checking who the households that they were sending them to.
So in the past, they would do background checks on everybody at the household, not only just the people that were receiving the kids, some of the, you know, pretending to be the parents, but also everyone else involved in that or that lived in that household.
Joe Biden stopped all of that.
So when we talk about the 300,000 plus missing kids, it's probably over a million with the unknowns that were brought in that weren't handed over to ICE or Border Patrol.
We're talking millions of kids.
And what President Trump and what ICE are doing is going and trying to find those kids that are being used as sex, being sex trafficked and used in the most vile sorts of way.
They're finding the individuals that are a part of those operations.
They're finding the rapists.
They're finding the murderers.
They're finding the terrorists that were all let in under Joe Biden.
And the crazy thing about this is the same NGOs and the same organizations that were profiting off the invasion under the Democrats are the same ones out now obstructing ICE and trying to prevent them from doing their jobs.
This is a civil war that we are living through right now.
And if we don't wake up to it, if we don't as a nation realize who the enemies are, we are in a very serious, serious place in this nation for the future of this country.
Yeah, I couldn't have said it any better.
I mean, like, I think what's so frustrating is knowing what we know and then watching the media, the propaganda, like our own legacy media sort of being a traitor to American citizens, right?
Because those two guys that were on the ground that had just got done raping those girls, those are the people heading into our country.
And we've seen a number of stories.
Was it Jocelyn Nungre?
American citizens are now being raped and killed by these same people that were allowed into our country.
That's the frustrating part is when I see these ICE protests, I just don't understand it because I'm like, these people don't realize that ICE is there to save them, to make their communities safer, to protect their children.
And yet here we are now.
I want to put up a tweet here that we have from rep Andy Ogles basically saying the Dems are trying to take, you know, this helicopter pilot's salary and help gang members because they're trying to stop the funding of DHS, right?
So we're actually having members of our own government trying to defund the very law enforcement trying to save our children from these dangerous criminals, Ben.
Yeah, a couple examples.
I meant to mention it in the last question you asked me.
So just as an example, I was in our Mila.
I just posted another video about that this morning as a reminder for folks.
We were in a village in Panama, this Guna Indian tribe, where the beaches had become more garbage than sand.
It was one of the most disgusting places I'd ever been.
It was also one of the most beautiful places.
You could tell UNESCO World Heritage, one of the most beautiful beaches that without the illegal immigration that had basically destroyed their village.
The New York Times had been in that exact same location just a couple of weeks before we were there, and they said nothing about it.
In fact, they had the nerve to say that it was climate change that was part of what was causing all of this garbage, the fact that all these millions of illegals were trying to come to America, and then somehow it was America's fault for doing it.
These same multi-million dollar so-called media outlets were in Panama.
They were in Columbia.
They knew about the rape kits.
They knew about everything that we were uncovering, but they refused to say it.
Or in fact, they provided cover, as you said.
They are propagandists.
They are not media.
And in reality, they're maybe the worst part of it because you talk about how culture changes and it's all about information.
And you have people out there marching in the streets today that have no clue what they're marching for, in particular because they're getting their media, they're getting their facts from liars in the fake news media.
And just as an example, to your point right there, in Chicago, I was there when the operations kicked off with Tom Holman.
I was actually in Minnesota, Minneapolis, when the operations kicked off just a couple months ago in Minneapolis as well.
But in Chicago, we were after a convicted arms, a guy had been convicted multiple times, fell in the arms possessions, illegal alien, criminal gang member who was thought to be a part of at least one murder that murdered another illegal alien, Guatemalan mom.
We were after this scumbag.
We knew where he was.
In fact, we saw him in the house and we were sitting there staking this out.
Our vehicle got surrounded.
Somebody in the this rapid response network, they call it, these Antifa democratic socialist scumbags spotted one of our vehicles.
They ended up surrounding them.
They surrounded us and it ended up killing the operation.
That illegal, that cartel member, that murderer is still in their community because these jackasses came and obstructed ICE.
They had no clue why they were there.
They didn't know who they were after.
They just have bought this lie that ICE are the bad guys and illegals are the good guys and they're in there to obstruct them.
And some of them are accomplices.
Some of them know exactly what they're doing.
They're traitors to our country.
Some of these politicians, they know exactly what they're doing.
And some of them are just what Lenin called the useful idiots that are being used by these communists to destroy our country from within.
But all of them are working to undermine our government and our country.
They're traitors to this country and they need to be held accountable.
And the only way this changes, we have to deport all the illegals, but the bigger threat to our country right now are the traitors that are operating against America's, against Americans and against America's interests.
Any politician that is fighting to defund ICE needs to be removed from office.
They need to be prosecuted.
All of these organizations that are operating to obstruct ICE need to be prosecuted.
I believe there's a massive RICO case.
This is a criminal conspiracy against these guys.
Until that happens, though, we're in trouble as a nation.
But that's the key to me is to Pam Bondi and my friend Kash Patel.
It's you got to prosecute these networks of traitors in our country and the media that goes along with them.
Oh, 100%.
See, that's where I'm torn is like, obviously the media, the legacy media acts like journalistic terrorism because they are knowingly disseminating false information in order to manipulate the viewers, you know, and get them to turn against very law enforcement trying to keep our community safe.
You know, but then we also have freedom of speech.
So I feel like the only real antidote in a free society is to do what we're doing right now, Ben.
And that's having these conversations, really highlighting what's going on, which is why earlier in the segment there, I was really on the fence about showing that video of the girls, but I feel like we need to because this is the truth people are not seeing elsewhere.
These are real child victims, not the little boy that was abandoned by his father in ICE custody.
You know, he just abandoned his own kids.
Well, he was a victim too by his father.
He was a victim by his father, who was the criminal that ICE was after.
Police Authority in Sanctuary Jurisdictions00:08:42
And it was ICE that actually protected him.
And then you have idiots like Castro out there going and playing like this guy's the victim.
It's just, it's hypocrisy at its finest.
Yeah.
So I want to play another clip of yours from Minneapolis.
I guess you were there recently and there was no officers helping.
You had said that Minneapolis had fallen to communist jihadist mob.
So we're going to play that and then I'll get your sort of thoughts on the recent changes that happened.
You know, supposedly law enforcement is now working with Tom Homan, but let's play your clip from Minneapolis.
The single cop out here, they're letting the protests, the activists, control the entire city right now, shutting the streets down.
There are no cops out here.
This is what abolished the police looks like.
You got these leftists in their yellow jackets.
Who knows what kind of training they have?
Who knows?
I'm sure they gave it to them.
But who knows what training they have?
These guys are out here shutting streets down.
I can't imagine the liability that this puts the city in if something bad happens.
That's crazy.
Minneapolis has fallen, guys.
We got to stop this cancer from spreading.
So have things changed since then?
Some.
So I, and God bless Tom Homan.
He's one of my favorite people in this country.
He's there's nobody better to lead the charge when it comes to ICE operations than Tom Homan.
And I'm really, so I'm thoroughly thankful.
I was there when he got on the ground and he did his press conference.
But my mindset is not slowing down, not backing off at all.
By the way, just backing up for a second, the left were the happy, when Renee Good chose to use her vehicle as a deadly weapon and was shot and killed rightfully because of that.
When Alex Predi chose to go to a protest and obstruct ICE with a gun and got shot and killed because of that, the left were the happiest ones of all because all they care about is using victims, just like George Floyd.
It's no surprise that Minneapolis is where the George Floyd defund the police riot started.
This is a strategy of the left, of the traitors, of these terrorists, domestic terrorists in America, is to use these people, these Patsy's, these pawns, to create these victims and then be able to use that to justify their attacks on law enforcement.
So what I saw, this was a week ago in Minneapolis, on the streets of Minneapolis, the fact that there was not a single cop present was a direct result of what we saw under George Floyd with the defund the police movement, where these mobs have basically taken over the city, where you have activist mayors, traitorous activist mayors like Mayor Fry in Minneapolis, who went along with defunding the police to where you've given your sovereignty to communist activists and jihadist activists.
I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that.
These cities have fallen.
And what scares me, to me, Minneapolis is probably the worst example.
It's got this confluence of the three worst parts of our society right now.
It's the communists, the jihadists, and then this criminal thug element.
Every city has some of each of those.
Minneapolis seems to have the most of all three, and they all coordinate together.
But what really concerns me is you look at the marches across America, not just in Minnesota, but in California, but even in Texas, in Austin, these traitors, treasonists, whatever you want to call them, domestic terrorists, they're operating in every major municipality in America today.
And unless they are held accountable, unless there are major prosecutions against them, nothing's going to change.
Now, back to your question about what's happening there.
Thankfully, with the pressure of Tom Holman on the city, you actually have the city police operating to shut down some of these things where they're, what was crazy is watching them.
The same people that don't want ICE in your community, setting up roadblocks and checking IDs, checking your papers, acting as if they're ICE, creating borders, erecting walls to keep people out of their neighborhoods.
It's this level of hypocrisy.
And I don't know if they're just idiots, they don't see it, but this is where we're heading to the total lawlessness.
If you allow the left to continue, you're not going to have law and order.
You're going to have mob rule and these mobs of people that, like I, like I said in the video, who knows what their qualifications are?
I sure as hell don't want them destroying my city and leading these marches.
And the people that were driving in there, there were people that were stuck in traffic for an hour, hour and a half because of these mobs.
And the city lets them do that.
That's why I say it's fallen.
Minneapolis has fallen and all of these major cities has fallen because you no longer have equal protection under the law.
You no longer have constitutional authority in these cities.
You have mob rule.
And if we allow that to continue, it's a death sentence for our country.
Yeah, for sure.
And it's so funny because they're the first one to call everyone Nazis and they're literally pulling over innocent people in their vehicles being like, show me your papers.
Like there were videos of them stopping just everyday citizens because they thought their truck looked suspicious.
Or, you know, there was a couple, I guess, journalists in the area.
They pulled them over.
Who do you work for?
And like, like truly mobbed.
Well, they did the same thing.
They did the same thing to us when we were there documenting it and they ended up threatening us and trying to attack us.
But they did that to Jorhaven Jura.
They actually assaulted him, tried to steal his phone.
They did that.
They actually stole Nick Sortor's phone, these Somali terrorists that living in the neighborhoods.
So it's happening.
And that's if unless you actually go there and experience it firsthand, you no longer are free in places like Minneapolis.
Unless you bend the knee to these terrorists, you are the primary person to be attacked.
And the main reason is they don't want sunlight to show what's actually happening.
They don't want this to happen.
And so they see us as the threat, as the enemy.
And with no law enforcement, with no judicial system to back us up, with no constitutional rights to back us up there, you really have only yourself to protect you.
And that's really where things get dangerous.
One more thing, too.
The reason I did a video on this while I was there, the reason Renee Good is dead today and the reason why Alex Predty is dead today is the difference between sanctuary jurisdictions and non-sanctuary places like Texas, like Houston.
I've ridden with ICE all over the country.
And what you'll find in places like Houston, where you still have a big traitorous contingent of people there, you have the La Raza folks that are trying to obstruct ICE.
But what you don't have is local police obstructing ICE, where, you know, ICE is doing their operations.
You'll actually have local police that work with ICE.
They'll go in, they'll set up a perimeter to provide protection for not just the ICE officers doing their job, but also the community itself.
In sanctuary jurisdictions like Minneapolis, when you didn't have police working in conjunction with federal government in these operations, you had the mobs that were able to descend on ICE and ICE has the authority.
They're federal law enforcement agents.
They have the authority to defend themselves.
And so part of the reason why Alex Predi and Renee Goode are dead or Renee Goode are dead today is because of those sanctuary jurisdictions and the sanctuary policies that didn't allow police to set up those perimeters in those operations.
And, you know, it's one of those things that you don't think about or isn't talked about.
But if you want to blame anyone, it's the sanctuary jurisdictions.
And it's also the sanctuary jurisdictions that force ICE.
And this is one of the things that Tom Holman, one of the positive changes, we have the local jails, over 70 sheriffs that have agreed to work with ICE to hand over the illegals from the jails when they're in jail custody to ICE instead of having ICE having to go back into the communities to get these guys, which is again what sanctuary policies do.
Rather than picking up the bad guys in the jails and with two ICE officers being able to do it in a controlled environment, now you're sending them into the neighborhoods where you're threatening the ICE officers, you're threatening the illegals themselves, you're threatening the law-abiding citizens.
Everybody then becomes more endangered because of those policies.
It's exactly counterproductive to everything that they claim to be trying to create, protecting the communities.
It actually does the exact opposite.
Election Fallout and FBI Raid00:11:37
Yeah.
Well, Ben, I really wish we could have just made this entire episode with you, but our next guest is already here.
We're definitely going to have you back on.
And I just want to remind everyone, Ben Bergquam has a MyPillow code.
Ben, tell everybody what it is.
And I'd like to dedicate this episode.
Go to mypillow.com.
Use Ben's promo code to support his incredible work because truly, Ben.
Frontline.
I travel.
By the way, I have a ton of my pillows.
My favorite thing I have is my MyPillow mattress and the mattress topper with the pillows.
You have to have all the, when I'm on the road, I look forward to coming home and getting a good night's sleep.
But this is my favorite MyPillow.
We have a bunch of them.
We have the Noah's Ark and the Christian stories.
Our kids have all of those.
But when I roll around the country with Mike Lindell and I'm sleeping on the planes with my MAGA hats on, you want to talk about triggering the left?
You have to have one of these.
It's promo code frontline.
God bless you guys.
God bless Mike Lindell.
God bless all the work that you're doing.
Mypillow.com, promo code frontline.
Buy all of the products.
My motto is always support the companies to support the values that you believe in.
And there's nobody better for that than Mike Lindell.
I'm honored to be a part of his team to help spread the truth and support companies like that.
So thank you.
Thank you, Heather.
It's promo code frontline.
Love you guys.
Promo code frontline.
All right.
Thank you so much, Ben.
We'll definitely have to have you back on.
But man, what a crazy first segment.
Went a little longer than we anticipated, but we're going to switch gears right now.
We're going to go back down to Georgia, where the federal warrant to raid the Fulton County Election Hub was recently unsealed.
Joining us now to discuss that and a few other stories out of Georgia is Garland Favarito of Voter GA.
Garland, thank you for joining us.
Hey, Heather.
Good to be with you again.
Yeah, thanks for joining us.
I'm glad we could get you in today because I really wanted your reaction to this warrant that was unsealed.
What can you tell us?
You have a lawsuit that originally unsealed those very ballots.
So what can you tell us about this warrant?
That's right.
It unsealed the ballots and it preserved them for all this time.
So, or at least most of them.
So there are a couple of things, Heather.
First of all, and you'll know this when you have time to read the warrant, but it is exactly the evidence.
It's a subset of all the evidence that we've talked about for five years.
So the probable cause for the warrant is exactly what we have talked about for five years.
And most of it has already been substantiated in SEB investigations from people that you have interviewed, you know, like Joe Rossi and Kevin Machla and David Cross.
You know, there's a lot of evidence that is already, you know, we have, it's provable even with public information.
Even if they didn't have the ballots, a lot of that information is provable.
But the ballots and the election records will really provide the icing on the cake that they need to support the electronic records that are already showing the same problems that we've, that you've talked about many times on your show before.
Yeah.
And, you know, it's interesting.
And I just thought about this because we just had Ben Bergquam, who's done a lot of coverage on like the cartel activity.
And a lot of the cartels are actually involved in the election fraud as well.
I know that, you know, some out in Arizona, some of the money laundering and stuff had actually gotten into the elections.
So this sort of all ties together.
What we're seeing with the election fraud is partially the reason that we had those open borders because a lot of the very people pushing to open those borders were the results of a stolen election.
I mean, we had Biden in power.
Why?
Because the election was stolen.
And then because Biden got in there, the borders got open and these criminals came in.
And so I really want people at home, after we just had that, you know, 30-minute segment with Ben on packing all the border issues to really realize the solution to this is the work Garland's doing to secure our elections.
Because if we have secure elections, we don't have people like Biden in office because nobody in a free market in a free election would ever vote for that policy.
So, Garland, hat tip to you, though, but apparently 50 boxes are missing.
What can you tell us about that?
I know Dr. Jan Johnston, I believe that's her Twitter.
Where are the 50 boxes?
Supposedly, there was at least 700, but after the raid, there was only 656.
There's also Chairman Pitt, but we'll get to that in a second.
Are there missing boxes?
What can you tell us?
Yeah, it's a good question.
Nobody really knows for sure, but in Nadine's Williams affidavit, and Nadine is the elections director who took over for Rick Barron, who conducted the 2020 election, who you know very well, Heather.
But she signed an affidavit earlier in a case saying that they had over 700 boxes.
The FBI took everything in the cage, and there were only 656 boxes.
So it raises the question as to where the other 50 boxes are, or did they already exist, or did they ever exist in the first place?
So, and it probably remains to be seen, but Fulton County has just got some more explaining to do.
They sure do.
And one person who's got a lot of explaining to do, Chairman Rob Pitts, let's play a quick soundbite from him.
We've played it before on the show, but I want to get your reaction, Garland, because according to Chairman Pitts, he says he has sources that tipped him off about the raid.
Take a listen.
Well, I'm told that.
I mean, I've gotten up.
I received a call on Monday before last Wednesday, before the raid, that there were going to be arrests in Georgia.
Secretary of State, his deputy, Sterling, I believe his name is, me, and two or three others.
That did not happen on Monday.
It didn't happen on Tuesday.
But lo and behold, on Wednesday, the FBI shows up.
And in addition to the FBI showing up, when Tulsi Gabbard showed up and we'd heard a rumor that she may be coming, I couldn't believe it, but I didn't meet her.
I mean, so he's claiming he has sources that tipped him off.
Is this something you think the Trump administration is going to reveal?
Is this something you can request via discovery in your case?
Who's tipping him off, Garland, about these raids?
Well, you know, again, that's a really good question.
It's not something we're going to know while the case is under investigation.
We do know, though, that Nadine Williams received a letter from the FBI special agent in charge of the Atlanta office, Paul Brown, requesting this information in advance.
So that was several days prior to the raid.
I don't know if that would be the same person who called Rod Pitts or not, but the special agent in charge was removed from His position just shortly before the raid, a few days before the raid.
Really?
So the FBI under President Trump removed this special agent from his position?
Special agent Paul Brown was the agent in charge in Fulton County, excuse me, in, I guess it would have been the Atlanta area.
So he was the Atlanta FBI special agent in charge.
He sent the letter to Nadine Williams requesting information ahead of time.
It seemed really weird because it was an undated letter and it had typos in it, spelling errors.
So it was really weird looking.
I don't know what the deal is there, but that could possibly be one source, or it could have been somebody else altogether.
Yeah.
I mean, it's tough because this, this, obviously, you and I both know this fraud and these issues have been going on for years now, and both the GBI and the FBI have really sat on their hands and done nothing about it.
You know, there was also the recent unsealing of David Perdue's test, a transcript of his testimony where he was saying Governor Kemp, or he was told by former GBI director Vic Reynolds that Governor Kemp told him not to investigate.
Yeah, and he being the quote team player, unquote, that he is, went right along with it.
That is typical GBI.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation really cannot be trusted to do anything in Georgia because they are basically pawns of the governor for the most part.
So, and that's a real problem with how the GBI is set up, but they have a bad reputation over the last few years of not investigating things properly.
Yeah.
Well, so just to wrap up here, I mean, where do we go from here?
Just some final thoughts on Georgia, what you expect to come out.
I guess I hear there's another important election hearing tomorrow.
So, what can you tell us about that and just what your expectations are?
Well, there's a board of elections hearing tomorrow, or not a hearing, but it's just a regular, regularly scheduled meeting meeting.
I imagine this subject is going to come up.
You'll probably get a couple of interesting clips out of that.
So, one of the things I want to mention, Heather, one of the next steps that we're going to do is we're going to do a press comments about this whole affidavit and go into detail within the next week or two.
And once we've nailed it down, but here's an interesting tidbit.
So, we've got four affidavits that say that the Fulton County Board of Elections and the clerk have replied to me in open records request that they did not have the ballots.
So, if they had the ballots for the FBI search, which they say they did, then why did they reply to me formally four times to my open records request that they, in fact, were, you know, didn't have any ballots.
So, I think that's another thing that's gotten more explained to do.
Well, we know that you're going to be down there continuing to ask questions, Garland.
So, thank you for the update today.
Make sure you guys go follow him, voterga.org.
You can go there to support his organization as well.
And just thank you for joining us, Garland.
China Bans Fast Food Pesticides00:06:04
Always a pleasure, Heather.
Thank you for having me.
All righty.
Well, that's your election integrity update for Georgia today.
Obviously, we're keeping close eyes on how everything down there is unfolding.
Switching gears one more time to wrap up the show, we're going to go over to the Maha side of things, where we have somebody I've never interviewed before.
Her name is Zen Honeycutt, and she's the founder of Moms Across America.
So Zen, thank you for joining us here on the Mike Lindell show.
Heather, it's such a pleasure.
Thank you so much for having me.
Yeah, so I'm excited to learn more about your organization.
Why don't just to kick off, tell us a little bit about Moms Across America, what you guys do and how you got started.
Sure.
We're a 13-year-old nonprofit.
Our mission is to educate and empower mothers and others.
And we are nationwide.
We reach a couple million people every month just on Instagram and Facebook.
And we're the ones that started the glyphosate testing back in 2013 and have moved on to test for pesticides, heavy metals, veterinary drugs and hormones, glyphosate, minerals, all kinds of things in things like school lunches, fast food, baby formula.
We want to expose the truth because we believe when you know better, you do better.
And we have seen our children get better when they eat organic food.
So we've been doing a lot of testing.
And today I'm mostly here to talk about the military food testing that we did.
Yeah, so that's actually what intrigued me about your work because I'm the chief Pentagon correspondent for Lindell TV and a mutual friend of ours sent me the article that you guys did.
If we could put the headline up, it was a military meal study that you guys had done.
And it said U.S. military meals contaminated with toxic pesticides, banned veterinary drugs and heavy metals.
So that obviously is of interest to me.
I care deeply about our military.
What can you tell us about this study?
Yeah, I think everyone cares very deeply about the military, especially those of us who have veteran fathers and husbands and brothers and all of that.
And I do.
And I also got very curious when I met with the Chinese general of the Chinese military in person when I went to China to do a food safety conference.
I was one of 30 speakers from 15 countries around the world.
And after I did my talk about our children having ill health effects from GMOs, he came up to this general, came up to me and said, we want you to know that China does not feed the military GMOs.
And also there were two right-hand advisors to Putin that were also there, these women, who said that they don't allow GMOs in Russia.
So for about 12 years now, I've been wanting to test for not just GMOs, but the related pesticides that are related to GMOs in military food.
And we finally got the funding to be able to do that.
And we found 95% of the samples were positive for glyphosate, which we all know is a carcinogen, endocrine disruptor, causes nervous system and neurological disorders, liver disease.
It damages sperm and it androgynizes baby girls.
We found 95% of the samples were positive at concerning levels.
We also found 100% of the food samples were positive for pesticides.
And we found the highest levels of pesticides.
There were 62 pesticides that we found, 2 to 26 per sample.
And this was almost double that which we found in school lunches and fast food.
So we're extremely concerned about the pesticide level.
Many of them are banned in other countries.
Some of them cause cancer and cancer, heart issues, all kinds of effects.
And it should be known, maybe some people care about this, some don't, but 100% of the samples are produced in China.
65% of them are solely or only made in China.
And we are giving China $15 to $20 billion a year, essentially to poison our food and our military.
So I'm concerned about that.
Are you saying that all the military food comes from China?
No, no, no, the pesticides in the military food.
Yeah, but some of the meat, so when the veterinary drugs and hormones I was just about to talk about contained banned veterinary drugs and hormones that are banned in Europe, Canada, and the United States.
And so some of those veterinary drugs and hormones, sorry, it's so noisy here, we believe were in meat that came from either processed from China or are in meat might have come from Africa or other countries.
So we're concerned about those levels.
Yeah, so let me play a quick downbite.
Sure.
I actually have a sound bite here from Secretary Kennedy on military meals.
Let's take a listen to that and then I'll get your thoughts on the other side.
The food was so bad on these bases, the troops weren't eating it.
50% of it was being thrown out.
And now there's lines around the block where people are fighting again.
The troops were going and buying their meals from fast food joints and spending their hard-earned, meager military paycheck on fast food.
Now they're fighting to get in to eat real food and it's all fresh.
There's no freezing.
I just have no other place to go.
Okay.
Yeah.
So he obviously is concerned with the military food that our servicemen and women are getting.
Has the study that you've done been brought to Secretary Kennedy's attention as of yet?
Oh, yeah.
So we brought this to his attention probably about three or four weeks ago.
And I told him maybe a year ago that we were going to be testing for military food for these toxins.
I've also have associates that have spoken to people.
I think I might have directly spoken to some people at Fort Bragg.
So I'm happy to see that they are doing that.
I'm thrilled that they are making changes, that this is like a pilot study.
EPA's Dicamba Approval Controversy00:03:45
So yeah, I was, you know, very eagerly applauding that announcement when I was in the HHS today and saw that.
And not only they're expanding it not only to military food, but to prisons.
And they also are adjusting the school lunch guidelines.
And later on in the year, there will be announcements about school lunch guidelines.
Yeah, there's certainly been a lot of, you know, talk around the whole Maha thing.
One thing that you had actually put out in a tweet that I don't know a whole lot about.
So I wanted to ask you about, you posted that the EPA approved of Dicamba, a pesticide that lost in court two times, caused millions of dollars of crop damage and causes infertility.
So what exactly is dicamba?
I personally am a little like a first grader when it comes to some of this Maha chemical stuff.
What can you tell us about it and why did the EPA approve it more importantly?
Yeah, so we're very, very disappointed about this.
You know, President Trump promised that he said the words actually pesticides, autism, and childhood chronic disease on the presidential platform, shaking Bobby Kennedy's hand and saying that he could go wild, right?
So we really expected that there would be pesticide reform.
There would be direct actions to reduce our children's exposure to toxic chemicals, especially pesticides, because that's what Trump said.
And over the past year, we have not seen a single regulation which reduces our children's exposure to pesticides.
In fact, they've approved PFAS pesticides and now they've approved dicamba again.
Dicamba has lost in court twice because it's highly volatile.
It drifts to other crops.
And there was a peach farmer that won a lot of money.
I'm not sure how much, but for at least $3 million worth of damage was caused to his crops, his peach farm, because a neighbor used dicamba.
So it's been gone and lost in court twice.
And for some reason, this EPA has decided that they know better than the Supreme Court, I guess, and has re-approved Dicamba.
And we are very sad about that.
Now, we understand that it's only been approved for two years and that the restrictions are supposed to reduce the use by 50%.
We're glad about that, but we believe that because the farmers have over another 1,100 pesticides that they could be using, that there was not a reason to, sufficient reason to re-approve Dicamba.
Now, the cotton farmers and soy farmers will disagree with you.
The cotton farmers told the administration that they will go out of business if they don't have dicamba, and so have the soy farmers.
But I would assert that with 1,100 other pesticides, that they could be, you know, I just have faith in the farmers that they could farm without dicamba.
And we need to.
This is important to start to reduce our exposure to these toxic chemicals.
Otherwise, there's no chance we're going to make America healthy again.
We really need to reduce these, our exposure to these chemicals.
Yeah, and so that's actually was one of my questions: is what are some of the alternatives to these pesticides that farmers could be using that are a healthier alternative?
Well, the best alternative is to not use the toxic chemicals at all.
And if you think about it, 50 years ago, they didn't.
Nobody had GMOs, nobody had these toxic chemicals, and only one generation, you know, basically one generation, I guess you would say two, but within my lifetime, these toxic chemicals and GMOs were not used at all.
Our grandmas, our great grandmas, what they called food, we called organic, right?
And so the alternatives are regenerative organic farming.
And those methodologies, they, you know, they can remove weeds and pests without using these toxic chemicals.
Asking for Regenerative Farming00:04:17
It absolutely is possible.
I know farmers will push back and say we don't want to go backwards, but I would say that any type of farming without using poison and toxic chemicals would be going forward.
And what are some call to action items that we can have people watching do?
What is it?
I'm sure you've probably spent a lot of time on the hill down there trying to advocate for some of this stuff.
So what can people watching do to really help propel that, the Maha movement forward on some of these issues?
Well, you can speak up and you go to Moms Across America Movement is our legislative arm.
We are championing policy and public servants who put children, health, safety, and America's future first.
You can donate and join up with us.
You can also support us by going to the article about military food and click on the link on the bottom and send a letter to President Trump.
We're asking him to support the transition of the monocrop GMO farmers to regenerative organic farming and then also to purchase, you know, the procurement, change the procurement to purchase that regenerative organic food from our American farmers to support American soldiers and American students with American food that's regenerative and organic.
And if he did that, the original AI research shows that it would cost less than 2% of the military budget.
So that's what we're asking for.
We think that's a reasonable ask.
We're not financial advisors, of course, but that's just our preliminary research.
And we think that that is something that if you think about the word military grade, Heather, you think of the best, premium, high quality.
We want our food to be the same way for the military.
We think our military deserves to have the best food.
They're risking their lives for us.
And we want to have the strongest military and the strongest country we could possibly have.
Absolutely.
And it's funny because I actually went down to Newport News, Virginia recently with traveling with the secretary on one of his trips.
And we ate lunch on board an aircraft carrier.
Now you got me thinking, like, what was in that food?
But, you know, it actually, it was good.
And I'm glad we have a secretary now that is prioritizing that.
You know, I guess we're thrilled.
Absolutely thrilled with today's announcement.
Yeah, no, I think that was incredible.
And just the work you're doing.
And just real quick in about 30, 30 seconds-ish, like what role is lobbying playing?
Because I know these pesticide companies have their lobbyists and stuff like that.
But what is the impact of that actually down there on the hill in legislative sessions?
Yeah, well, I don't really call it lobbying because, you know, I do educational outreach is what I'm doing for the most part.
But when people lobby, it's basically asking your elected officials to do their job, which is to, you know, say it in that way, but to represent the people and the voice of the people, when we bring that voice to them and share what the American people, especially what American mothers want, it makes a huge difference.
You're sitting across from maybe a 26-year-old young person who is, they will mostly reveal they have stomach issues, they have infertility issues, they have migraines.
You know, they look healthy, but a lot of some of them have gut paralysis.
I mean, it's astonishing how poor health some of our young people are.
But because of that, they relate to what we're saying.
They understand that it is time to take a look at the food supply and the pesticides and the toxic chemicals.
And it makes a difference.
I mean, I just met with GT Thompson's staffers, and they informed me that there is a section in the pesticide immunity shield, the clause that they're putting into the farm bill that they're taking out.
Now, I'm concerned about what is being left in.
I think we still should need to let them know.
We don't think the farm bill is the vehicle for regulating the USD, the EPA, right?
We think that the EPA, there should be a review just of what the EPA is doing.
It should be separate from the farm bill.
It should be a thorough investigation of why the EPA isn't reviewing the final formulation of any of these pesticides and they're not doing long-term animal studies or requiring long-term animal studies.
We need the EPA to have a better review process for the safety of all Americans, all of our military, and all of our students.
EPA Regulation Concerns00:00:44
Amen.
Well, thank you so much for the work you're doing.
We're definitely going to have to have you back on to keep us posted on some of these bills and the changes going down there on the hill with regard to Maha.
But thank you so much.
