00:06:12.000They're still working everywhere at every angle they can to try to do it.
00:06:15.000But what it shows is basically we were lied to for the last four years.
00:06:19.000This could have been stopped. It was invited.
00:06:22.000The biggest thing that has to happen now is we have to shut off the TAP, the money, to the NGOs in America that are aiding and abetting this.
00:06:28.000And we have to shut off the money to the illegals that are living in America that are basically living off the American taxpayers.
00:06:36.000So part of this gets back to the budget.
00:06:43.000Also in the Medicaid cuts, my understanding is most of the Medicaid cuts are going to come from illegal aliens, get them off the rolls, and also make sure that able-bodied seamen will go to work and work for these benefits.
00:06:56.000Ben, you have been on operations or raids, whatever they're called.
00:07:02.000I know there's a term of art internally and there's a term of art they use externally.
00:07:20.000Because it doesn't seem like from the first couple of days of Thunder that we're a little bit hung up now.
00:07:25.000Holman looks like he's doing a lot more time on Fox News than he's out up-armored rousting out bad hombres from prisons to get him out of here.
00:08:04.000Again, just to show you where I'm standing, I just had illegal cartel coyotes right there on that little rock face that I'm standing right next to.
00:08:50.000Then you have to send them back to the detention centers where you have limited numbers of beds and resources.
00:08:56.000It takes about 60 days on average to get rid of them, and then they send them out of our country.
00:09:01.000So there's just not enough bed space to deal with the millions and millions of people that we're talking about removing.
00:09:07.000The biggest thing that I think it's a two-pronged approach that I think we're going to start seeing is ICE's operations are going to continue.
00:09:14.000They're going to continue to go after the worst first, as we heard when we were in Baltimore.
00:09:18.000But then what has to happen, we have to shut off the money to illegals inside of America.
00:09:23.000That way you'll get self-deportation if they're not getting the money from the American taxpayer.
00:09:28.000If they can't work in America under the table.
00:09:31.000If we get the data checks on background checks on people working in the interior of the country.
00:09:38.000All of that has to happen at the same time.
00:09:40.000But ICE is fighting an uphill battle as we speak, both internally, people working against them from within, and externally.
00:09:47.000Just the logistical nightmare it takes to get rid of these people that have been let into our country.
00:09:54.000And they're still working, even though the cameras aren't with them.
00:09:57.000How big a deal is this situation in New York City?
00:10:02.000You know, I've warned outside the courthouse the other day, Bondi and the president, about the situation in Manhattan.
00:10:10.000It looks like they're trying to take some action.
00:10:12.000But from your perspective, because you see it at the street level, how important is it for us to make sure that New York is not a sanctuary city?
00:11:13.000If you've seen the movie Sicario, the violent first, not the sequel, but the first one is shot right there.
00:11:21.000And Ben, if you can go over, we'll pick you up as soon as you get there to have a live thing and walk people through how important it is to build the wall.
00:11:28.000How important it is to actually send the military there to secure this.
00:11:32.000Because there's many, many, many bad hombres, and particularly the cartel driven.
00:11:37.000And this is why we have to start doing paramilitary deep interdiction into the cartel.
00:11:42.000Until we take the cartels out, you're not going to solve the fentanyl problem.
00:11:45.000And you're really not going to solve the human trafficking problem, which is their other source of business.
00:11:50.000Ben Berquam, social media, where do people go?
00:11:54.000America's Voice News, best place to get it.
00:11:57.000All the breaking footage you'll be getting there on X, it's at Real AM Voice.
00:12:02.000On Instagram, it's at Real America's Voice.
00:12:04.000And as you said though, Steve, this actually, where we're standing right now, connects.
00:12:08.000There's a wall on the east side, excuse me, the west side of Mount Crystal Ray, and there's the We Build the Wall on the east side.
00:12:14.000But there's nothing in between. This road didn't exist here. Now the road is here.
00:12:18.000Once we build that wall, all of that is going to be made easier.
00:12:21.000And again, that wall project, the best public-private partnership or private project that I've ever seen in America,
00:12:28.000where the people said, we're sick of this, we're going to build it, and we actually built it.
00:12:32.000And we're going to try to get over there and show that and highlight the great work that was done by We Build the Wall.
00:12:37.000But again, this is it. This is why it's so easy to do it, because it's no man's land.
00:12:42.000And then also my other social media, at Ben Berkwam and FrontlineAmerica.com.
00:12:46.000We've got Substack articles coming up all the time as well. Thank you, Steve.
00:12:49.000Just to put it in perspective, where Ben's standing, when he goes to that mountain and back in Mount Crystal Ray, you go up to the top of that, go down.
00:12:56.000Our wall is built on the other side. That wall goes straight off that mountain, which the Army Corps of Engineers said couldn't be built,
00:13:02.000straight off the mountain, all the way down to the Rio Grande.
00:13:05.000When it hits the Rio Grande, the Rio Grande is the border, all through Texas.
00:13:10.000The Rio Grande is actually the border between Mexico and the United States.
00:13:14.000As soon as you hit New Mexico, right there at the foot of where we build the wall, you pivot right there and you look.
00:13:20.000You got another, I think it's 1,800 miles to hit the Pacific Ocean in Tijuana.
00:17:45.000And I think the fear is as much has as much of a pernicious effect as the actual question of maybe a little bit less than when you keep your job or not.
00:17:52.000But it's now pervasive throughout the government that people see Elon Musk running amok in the way that he is.
00:17:56.000So I think there's damage being done in either case.
00:17:58.000It is true, though, that the courts are holding a very important line here, especially in the context of a Republican majority in Congress
00:18:06.000that seems to have no interest in being in doing its part of asserting any kind of institutional prerogatives
00:18:11.000and is basically turning over all of its authority to the executive like this.
00:18:15.000Well, Alex Barrow is a very good lawyer, but he's also known for being hyper aggressive.
00:18:19.000He was criticized by the judge in the Jay-Z matter.
00:18:23.000He represents Jay-Z for his over aggression, attacking the other lawyer.
00:18:27.000He's also the same lawyer for Elon Musk.
00:18:31.000So as if to prove that this was part of a corrupt deal, Eric Adams is not only appearing with the border czar,
00:18:37.000but he's also assuring publicly the borders are that he will use his executive powers to allow federal immigration authorities to back into Rikers Island.
00:18:47.000That's like a 180 degree turn from the typical sanctuary city policies that New York City had.
00:18:52.000So, you know, it sure looks like there's a quo in exchange for the quid here.
00:18:58.000And then you have Deputy Attorney General Emile Beauvais, who I think is doing Attorney General Pambani a disservice by his actions.
00:19:06.000He wasn't even approved by the Senate yet.
00:19:08.000He was Trump's former criminal defense lawyer, and he's not even trying to hide his motivations here.
00:19:13.000He made it clear in his letter that this dropping of the case was so Adams could better help with the immigration crackdown.
00:19:21.000And then he dismisses the case without prejudice, which means that it's going to be hanging over Adams throughout just to make sure he plays ball.
00:19:29.000So you can see why Adams was so compliant with Trump's border czar yesterday when the sword of Damocles is hanging over his head.
00:19:36.000But as the Reverend said, he's right. It's up to the judge.
00:19:39.000And I think this judge is going to reject this deal.
00:19:42.000And I think in the end it's going to be a standoff where the judge is not accepting this dropping.
00:19:47.000And then DOJ says, well, we're not pushing it forward. So it's a very interesting time.
00:19:51.000You're talking about resistance in the courts. You're talking about resistance from state attorneys generals.
00:22:20.000What they've done, you heard—they said the quiet part out loud there with John Heilman.
00:22:26.000He said the courts saved us in 2020, and the courts are trying to save them today.
00:22:32.000You have a multi-front attack, a multi-front attack on President Trump's days of thunder.
00:22:38.000And this is the different verticals to both deconstruct the administrative state, take on the deep state, at the same time put in economic policies, trade policies, national security policies that bring peace and prosperity.
00:22:55.000J.D. Vance over in the Munich Security Conference got both Poso and Raheem over there.
00:23:04.000He just gave a complete throwdown speech that put Europe on—put the Europeans on notice with what the problems are and what the problems are with them as an ally.
00:23:14.000This is President Trump fighting on every front.
00:23:17.000They also have the resistance on every front.
00:23:19.000Where they have gotten traction so far—and this is just slowing down—is going to court and suing in every different possibility.
00:23:28.000Gavin Newsom has basically thrown in the towel, at least partially, on sanctuary cities.
00:23:33.000He's going to veto a bill passed in that radical legislature in California that doubles down on sanctuary cities, doubles down on fighting President Trump.
00:23:46.000As we said, there won't be a penny—and I think Ambassador Grinnell agrees—there won't be a penny of relief until that bill is rescinded.
00:23:54.000There won't even be discussions about money going out there.
00:23:57.000If you're going to double down, if you're looking for citizens of this country to come in and help rebuild Southern California after these tragic fires,
00:24:08.000at the same time you're going to fight getting rid of illegal alien invaders from the country, from the state of California specifically,
00:24:18.000and you're going to have these sanctuary cities that are just going to thwart the ICE agents and others on this deportation,
00:24:24.000you're not going to get any money. He folded. Gavin Newsom.
00:24:28.000In New York City—remember, LA, Chicago, New York City.
00:24:33.000Chicago's already—they're throwing down hard.
00:24:42.000I think you're going to have to go in and arrest him.
00:24:44.000In New York City, this gets to the centerpiece right now of this controversy that took place overnight.
00:24:50.000And I'm not saying it's a quid pro quo, but it's been open that the Trump administration wants Eric Adams to cooperate on this situation of sanctuary cities.
00:27:24.000They're either permanent residents or have, you know, have penthouses or, you know, these townhouses up in the upper west side or upper, particularly upper east side.
00:28:21.000And I told you they're going to go into federal court.
00:28:24.000They're going to lose in federal court.
00:28:26.000President Trump is perfectly within his purview as the chief executive officer of the United States government to do what he's doing and to designate Elon Musk or anybody he wants to designate to be his.
00:33:25.000And, you know, I think President Trump felt this is a good year to send a team over there and to set them straight.
00:33:32.000Pete Hexas blew their heads up the other day saying, hey, look, let's be realistic.
00:33:36.000We're not going to go back to the to the, you know, to the pre 19, you know, to these before the war started borders.
00:33:43.000You got to be realistic about this, about what's reality in Ukraine.
00:33:47.000I actually think by engaging too much in this, you show it's too much interest.
00:33:52.000I'm the hardest core of the hard core to say, hey, look, you stole our two hundred fifty billion dollars.
00:33:57.000We know we're never going to get it back.
00:33:59.000Good riddance and just walk away last night.
00:34:02.000Actually, on MSNBC, they had a they had a quote and they said, oh, well, if Trump doesn't do this negotiation right, if he doesn't really, you know, do this great negotiation and leave Ukraine with in NATO in the EU with original borders, it'll be considered his Vietnam.
00:34:17.000I told you that was coming. That's the first time it's quoted.
00:34:20.000But, hey, you wait. You're going to see all the newspaper articles, all the think pieces.
00:34:24.000Give it four weeks. This is Trump's Vietnam.
00:34:27.000You know, he can't cut a deal. He needs to be committed.
00:34:30.000So it's I beg to differ on that, you know, greatly.
00:34:35.000We had the strategic meeting with Modi yesterday, who's kind of the anchor of the Indo-Pacific.
00:34:40.000We have some commentary, I think, later on that.
00:34:42.000But let's go to let's go to J.D. and let's go here.
00:35:49.000It's the result of a series of conscious decisions made by politicians all over the continent, others across the world over the span of a decade.
00:36:01.000We saw the horrors wrought by these decisions yesterday in this very city.
00:36:06.000And of course, I can't bring it up again without thinking about the terrible victims who had a beautiful winter day in Munich ruined.
00:36:16.000Our thoughts and prayers are with them and will remain with them.
00:36:20.000But why did this happen in the first place?
00:36:22.000It's a terrible story, but it's one we've heard way too many times in Europe and unfortunately too many times in the United States as well.
00:36:30.000An asylum seeker, often a young man in his mid 20s, already known to police, rams a car into a crowd and shatters a community.
00:36:40.000How many times must we suffer these appalling setbacks before we change course and take our shared civilization in a new direction?
00:36:52.000No voter on this continent went to the ballot box to open the floodgates to millions of unvetted immigrants.
00:37:24.000But while the Trump administration is very concerned with European security and believes that we can come to a reasonable settlement between Russia and Ukraine.
00:37:34.000And we also believe that it's important in the coming years for Europe to step up in a big way to provide for its own defense.
00:37:41.000The threat that I worry the most about vis-a-vis Europe is not Russia.
00:37:49.000And what I worry about is the threat from within the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America.
00:38:01.000To put this in perspective, folks, a senior official of the United States government, the vice president, number two in the chain of command.
00:38:14.000Or actually number two in the line of succession, maybe not the chain of command, but the line of succession.
00:38:19.000Went to the Munich security conference.
00:39:48.000I think he just announced it was just beginning the primary, the tough primary head.
00:39:52.000And he gave that speech over in Crystal City or Pentagon City across the river where he talked about the the military industrial complex kind of to their face right right at the at the part right next to it.
00:41:16.000And we're particularly not prepared to send our sons and daughters to die for it, to enforce it.
00:41:23.000Especially given the fact that you're using this postwar international rules based order and all the laws and regulations and customs and traditions you set up around it to gut the United States of America to gut our manufacturing.
00:41:37.000To gut our beautiful cities on the interior.
00:41:41.000To give generation after generation of young men of every ethnicity, color and religious persuasion hopelessness.
00:42:52.000We're prepared to be an ally, but not an underwriter of the entire project because what the elites have done is allowed their people to have full health care, free college, pensions, all that.
00:43:03.000And you to have nothing because your leaders sold you out because of the money they're making at the, wait for it, Munich Security Conference.
00:43:57.000He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
00:44:05.000Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226 down to the actual number itself.
00:44:14.000Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.
00:44:22.000His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm driven crashes and even threats to national security.
00:44:34.000Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.
00:44:40.000This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.
00:46:51.000Remember, they took the speakership in that vote.
00:46:54.000And it looks like they've now cut the Democrats in for a big hunk of the carving up the pie and the cutting the Democrats in for a big piece of it.
00:47:03.000So we're going to get on top of that this afternoon tomorrow.
00:48:00.000You're going to be this will be three or four days like you've never had before.
00:48:04.000The intensity of the camaraderie, people getting together, learning, networking.
00:48:12.000One thing I tell you about the about the war and posse and getting engaged, particularly as you get older, as you get older, normally your world gets smaller and smaller.
00:48:23.000I guarantee you, you you team up here.
00:48:26.000You come to some of these conferences.
00:48:27.000You get involved in the precinct strategy or some of these groups that we identify and give you access to your world will expand.
00:48:34.000You will find interconnections and people throughout the country.
00:48:38.000You never met before that become dear friends and also comrades in arms as you fight this, because remember, you're the cadre at the tip of the spear.
00:48:46.000It's the reason we need you at the ramparts.
00:48:48.000What you've done, the raw political power that was just done over the last couple of months in these on the not just the election in November, but then the confirmation been monumental.
00:48:58.000So home title lock, and now we need you at the ramparts.
00:49:01.000Home title locks come up with a product that will keep you there.
00:49:03.000The triple lock, million dollar triple lock protection.
00:49:12.000Urgent, a notification immediately in the middle of the night if anybody's looking at your title or messing with your title because your title is a contractual obligation you've got for that thing called a home.
00:49:27.000And then they've got a million dollar restoration project with top lawyers, advisors, all that to make sure they can mitigate whatever risk has come to you.
00:49:52.000What we do with the sponsors is just make sure that they've got the information and you start to build customer client relationships, which is what it's all about.
00:50:29.000Gave my usual kind of fire breathing speech, but got to meet folks beforehand for a couple of hours.
00:50:34.000And I got to shake hands, take a lot of selfies, and just had a fantastic time.
00:50:40.000I want to thank Denton County Republican Party for doing this with Tarrant County.
00:50:43.000And remember, Tarrant County is kind of the one you've got to hold in Texas.
00:50:47.000Particularly now, and I know people are very upset, so we're going to be talking a lot about what has to happen since Texas is so MAGA to get Texas sorted.
00:50:57.000It's a shame of what's happening down there in that house.
