Episode 2079: Cartel Wars Explode In Tijuana And Juarez;  1 Year After The Afghan Debacle, We're More Unsafe Now Than Ever; Doj⧸FBI Steal Trump's Passport AfterÂ
Stephen K. Bannon talks about the FBI's illegitimate, illegal, kick-down-the-doors Gestapo move in Mar-A-Lago, the latest on the cartel war in the southern border, and the one year anniversary of the humiliating retreat from Afghanistan.
00:00:55.320Okay, we have breaking news all over the FBI's illegitimate, illegal, you know, kick-down-the-doors Gestapo move in Mar-a-Lago.
00:01:06.200We're going to try to get Boris up here in a few minutes.
00:01:09.600But we've got big news down in the cartel war in the southern border.
00:01:13.920And, of course, it's the one-year anniversary.
00:01:15.500It's the one-year anniversary of the humiliating retreat from Afghanistan.
00:01:21.200So, Vest, I want to go to Oscar Blue Ramirez.
00:01:23.840Oscar, give us an update, particularly the fact of the four individuals look like they're rolled up in Tijuana.
00:01:30.380I just want everybody to understand this, and particularly our international audience, but also folks in the United States and folks that don't live in the southwest United States or in the western states.
00:01:40.780You know, this war with the cartels and the civilian casualties, particularly taken last Thursday in Juarez, you're talking about essentially a suburb of El Paso.
00:01:50.560I would actually say it is El Paso, whereas in El Paso, it kind of won in the same city.
00:01:56.680In fact, that's where we built, I think, the best model wall ever built right up the side of that mountain was right in the heart of El Paso to stop the cartels.
00:02:04.980When you talk about Tijuana, that's essentially a suburb of San Diego or California, so you have this cartel war on our southern border that is now rapidly going to come to our side of the border because they're taking civilian casualties.
00:02:21.700This has gone far beyond what they normally do, which is just, you know, the gangs going after themselves or corrupt federalities, et cetera.
00:02:29.180So, Oscar Blue Ramirez down in Tijuana, give us an update.
00:02:33.380You've already been moved a couple of times today as we try to set your shot up by the police already.
00:02:38.500What is going to, you've got to be very careful because they're going to start targeting journalists here quite rapidly, Oscar.
00:02:43.440So, give us an update, particularly on this breaking news you had this morning about the terrorism charges.
00:04:27.680The Taliban is not the South, the North Vietnamese army.
00:04:32.140They're not, they're not remotely comparable in terms of capability.
00:04:36.140There's going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy in the, of the United States from Afghanistan.
00:05:59.620The flag of the Taliban is over the presidential palace.
00:06:04.440They're mocking the United States and its allies by doing live press conferences, including an individual who claims he was at Gitmo for eight years.
00:06:12.580They're doing live press conferences inside the, inside the presidential palace.
00:06:28.500I want to bring in General Bolduc now, kind of a legendary special operator who's running in a very tough Republican primary up in New Hampshire and then would take on the incumbent senator.
00:06:39.500General, I don't think there's any question that we're less safe today than we were a year ago after that absolute complete debacle in Afghanistan.
00:06:50.660Part of the place where the unsafe is on a new failed state that's about to happen here in Mexico on our southern border where the cartels now are outright war with state and provincial officials in certain elements of the federalities.
00:07:04.660Of course, some of the federalities are actually working for them.
00:07:08.740Well, the assessment overall is America has, is, is weaker than it has ever been.
00:07:17.100And that is because of the Biden administration over the last two years of this administration.
00:07:23.620And, you know, yesterday in a debate, I called Biden administration an existential threat to America.
00:07:30.720And I stick by those comments and I believe it to be absolutely true.
00:07:34.680And she's, and she's, and he's got the full support of senators like Maggie Hassan here in New Hampshire, who, you know, support him 100% of the time.
00:07:43.220The Afghanistan debacle withdrawal, the surrender that he, you know, that, that he presided over and that the State Department and Department of Defense and all the generals and admirals failed our service members all the way down the line.
00:08:00.200Weakened America to the point where China, Russia, North Korea, Iran have all expanded their capabilities and made themselves much more dangerous to our, to our country.
00:08:13.840And he's carried that policy over into the United States with his border policies, his energy policies, this, this unbelievable inflation.
00:08:24.360And what he's doing to our military with the COVID vaccination requirements, the, the teaching of the equivalent of CRT, the pronoun training, all these things that are distractors.
00:08:38.480And the generals and admirals are allowing him to do it.
00:08:41.560And the Heritage Foundation, Steve, you know, published another report saying that American military is marginally capable of fighting and winning its wars.
00:08:51.480They can't recruit, they can't recruit, they can't retain anybody, their strategic Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Army, their missile defense, their nuclear forces, everything is at marginal capability right now.
00:09:07.120And this has to change or America is going to be in huge trouble security wise, more so than it is today.
00:09:16.180But this is just a reflection of a, of bad leadership and a bad Congress, representatives and senators not doing the right thing for our country.
00:09:28.500General, to the, to the good folks, the patriots up in, in New Hampshire, live free or die, have always had this kind of courage and patriotism and spirit since the very founding of this republic.
00:09:41.560Did they, did they understand, are they getting the information that, you know, whether it's the South China Sea or the defense of Taiwan, which is really Silicon Valley West,
00:09:50.560or on the southern border right now where there's a Normandy type evasion every month and now you've got the cartels, they're actually going off to civilians.
00:09:59.200So that whole thing is going to blow across.
00:10:01.220And of course, a lot of this is about fentanyl, about drugs and about human trafficking and the profits.
00:10:05.020Do those folks get that we're under siege right now and that this kind of woke administration and woke corporatism is hurting us dramatically in the fact that the army can't recruit the kind of red blooded kids they always got in there that can actually do the fighting?
00:10:23.360You know, Steve, I've been in this campaign now for two years longer than any other candidate, and I'm the only candidate that's been in every town and city in this state, some multiple towns, some multiple times, and they are very worried about the border.
00:10:41.760They're very worried about the insecurity here for a variety of regions, and you mentioned them, right?
00:10:47.420And so they are very attuned to that, and they're very, very worried about China and what China's doing in this country, buying farmland and starting businesses and doing things in this administration's very weak response to China.
00:11:08.360And the fact that China is pretty much involved in every single one of our institutions and weakening those institutions, and they blame the career politicians for that, who are more interested in special interests and lobbyists and the rich political elite and some sort of globalist agenda that puts America second,
00:11:35.120puts our values and principles last, puts our constitutional republic last, and they are very, very worried because they see, just like I do, that their current lives are, they're struggling with everything that this administration has done, but more importantly, they're very worried about the future of their children and grandchildren.
00:11:58.740Before I let you go, I know the patriots in New Hampshire are law and order types.
00:12:07.400Because there's breaking news this afternoon.
00:12:09.320The DOJ say they're going to release certain aspects of maybe the search one, but they're not going to release the affidavit, and we understand how radioactive the affidavits were in the Russia hoax situation in the FISA courts.
00:12:19.920What's the sense, when you go around and talk to people in New Hampshire, what's the sense of this Mar-a-Lago situation, particularly the FBI's involvement in Merrick Garland's personally?
00:12:29.620Well, you know, the people of New Hampshire are very concerned about the justice system.
00:12:36.080They're concerned about the double standard, and they have been for a very long time.
00:12:40.720And they saw it play out for four years with the Trump administration and, you know, with the impeachments and the Russia probe.
00:12:48.160And then they saw the Hillary emails and Hunter Biden and all these people that have money and wealth and status and how they can get away with anything they want, and the rest of us are going to be put in jail.
00:13:00.600And they've also made it so expensive for people to get any justice, right?
00:13:05.580They've got to pay thousands and thousands of dollars in order to be able to have themselves represented.
00:13:11.240And that is so inconsistent with our Constitution.
00:13:15.000They put money and power above the people.
00:13:35.000Hey, listen, if you're going to raid any, any former president's personal residence, I don't care if it's President Trump, Carter, Bush, or Clinton, you better get on.
00:13:46.920You better get up on the net and tell the American people what the hell you're doing and why that is justified.
00:13:53.420And right now, people of New Hampshire are wondering what is going on and what are they doing?
00:13:59.800And it's just one political action after another in order to maintain their power in Washington, D.C.
00:15:01.280When your nation's supposed authority on economic policy completely misses the flashing red lights of impending inflation.
00:15:10.400Now, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has finally admitted, quote,
00:15:14.020There's been an unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that affected our economy badly that I didn't, at the time, fully understand.
00:16:58.800Specifically, Mr. Bannon, it's for our integrity, it's for safety.
00:17:02.800Right now, I was at the outside of the headquarters, the military headquarters, with a huge convoy of intelligence, which I send the footage.
00:17:11.460But there was a huge convoy of private investigators that just arrived, more than 100 vehicles that just arrived today, to also, you know, to provide support for the military for the investigations of these individuals that they have been arrested, which they have been.
00:17:26.760And now the number is, Mr. Bannon, 19, sir, 19 individuals have been arrested, which these individuals, four of them, already been transferred into the city of Mexico, which they are going to be judged under organized crime and under terrorism.
00:17:43.220This is the first time in history that the government of Mexico is going to be punishing and is going to be put on judgment for individuals for terrorism against the citizens of Mexico, sir.
00:17:55.400This footage is absolutely unbelievable.
00:17:57.100It's almost as impressive as the footage you got of the Mexican troops showing up.
00:18:00.780I see these massive lines of cars coming.
00:18:04.560You're saying these are actually backup law enforcement that are there for to roll these guys up and to actually incarcerate them now on terrorism charges.
00:18:13.580And you're saying 19 of the cartel members.
00:18:15.780It was four this morning saying 19 cartel members have been rounded up.
00:18:20.640Yes, 19 individuals have been arrested.
00:18:23.320And these units that they just arrived.
00:18:25.620But we have been waiting for more than two to three hours to just get to this point so we can record the special agents, ministerial special agents from the military that they have sent outside to the headquarters.
00:18:38.840And we catch them on a live video as they were arriving.
00:18:41.760They were going to have a meeting so they will know how to expand to the whole city and also provide information and also to provide intelligence for the military operation that is being deployed around the whole state.
00:18:54.600That means that the borders that they are next to California that is Mexicali next to steps away from Calexico, Tecate, California, that is next to Tecatito, California, Tijuana, that is next to San Diego, California.
00:19:06.660All of these borders there are being now military deployment to protect the citizens ultimately of Mexico and also to remain the security to the border, sir, of the United States of America.
00:19:17.060OK, so, Oscar, this amazing kind of, you know, up armor, obviously, with investigators, with military, with paramilitary.
00:19:30.760Because the question is, the federal allies in the federal government, particularly the president, has seemed to be quite soft on the cartels.
00:19:39.100I understand there's been rumors for years he's in business with them.
00:19:45.220But at least his words have always been, a couple weeks ago or two weeks ago, he said they have human rights like everybody else, the cartel heads.
00:19:51.900Is this just coming from the governors of like Baja is the regional governors and like you're going to see you're seeing action now from the regional governor of where Juarez is?
00:20:03.960Is it coming from the actual state officials or is it coming from the the federal government?
00:20:10.400Sir, and this is coming from the state governors.
00:20:13.880They are pushing the Mexican president for support.
00:20:18.160We have been waiting for the morning conference of the president, and today he said that the conservatives and the right-wing media are the ones that are sensationalizing this news.
00:20:28.280He says that there was just barely little vehicles that they were burned and that the right-wing media and the conservatives, they are talking about a mass number of people that they have died in terms to this attack.
00:20:39.460Sir, 11 people, 11 innocent souls were murdered by the organized crime on Thursday in Juarez.
00:20:46.640I don't know where this man is going to get his seriousness and when he is going to actually realize that we are under attack by the organized crime, the cartels, and that our sovereignty, our security, and the integrity of the citizens.
00:21:02.720I don't know when is he going to realize that because the governors of Baja, California, and ultimately also the governor of Chihuahua with the mayor of Ciudad Juarez, they're pushing him for him to do something in return to provide security for our state.
00:21:20.720And he's not providing seriousness to the occasion and to the actual effects that this is causing, sir.
00:21:27.680The American consulate in Tijuana, because it's such a huge vacation population, tourist population, comes from San Diego, people all over the country, and they always want to take at least a day or two to go to Tijuana, said shelter in place.
00:21:41.380That's not right-wing media making it up.
00:21:44.020The footage that you've shown since last week, and you were the first person on this when you were down even in Tapachula, to show what was happening in some of the towns in the south and then what happened in Juarez, that's not right-wing media.
00:21:55.640I mean, those 11 civilians were murdered in cold blood in Juarez.
00:21:59.480What's happened in Tijuana is what's happening.
00:22:01.380And I've got to tell you, for him to say that was just so shocking, those troops that are walking around up-armored, like a fully deployed battalion of American troops in Afghanistan, that is your camera lying?
00:22:14.800And what you just saw with those investigators, that looked like 100 cars backed up to round up these terrorists.
00:22:23.340I realize your equipment's coming in and out there, but I'm going to ask you to hold because I want to bring you back.
00:22:28.240Let me go to Frank Gaffney for a second.
00:22:30.320And Frank, I know the Committee on the Present Danger of China, we've been warning about this forever, that we're worried.
00:22:36.960Look, you can't extract from Afghanistan and just give it to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:22:41.720But whether it's Ukraine or Afghanistan, there's been more focus put on, quite frankly, borders that are 12,000 miles away or 10,000 miles away.
00:22:50.380And now we're seeing it in living daylight.
00:22:53.140And finally, they've done what we wanted to do here in the States is to call the cartels a terrorist organization.
00:22:59.680Of course, it had to be the governor of Baja, California, to do it, not the federal government.
00:23:04.120We should have done that to the cartels like we should have done it with the Muslim brothers 25 or 30 years ago.
00:23:11.140Frank, tell us, how bad is this situation from a national security point of view of what's exploding on the southern border right there in Juarez,
00:23:19.040Juarez, essentially a suburb of El Paso, Texas, and in Tijuana, which is basically a suburb of San Diego, California, sir.
00:23:28.500Could I just say a word about General Bolduc and Afghanistan?
00:24:07.340They've got somewhere between 70,000 and 100,000 unknown persons in this country, the majority of whom are unaccompanied military-aged men, probably Taliban, jihadis in our midst.
00:24:21.860And not least, next door, you've got Pakistan.
00:24:25.440And they are toppling the government of Pakistan if they can, and they will then become armed not just with $83 billion of our advanced conventional weapons, but probably nuclear weapons as well.
00:24:36.540This is a huge problem, quite apart from China getting access to all of that stuff.
00:24:41.280On the southern border, Steve, you've covered this, I think, better than anybody with the help of our friends from Real America's Voice and elsewhere.
00:25:02.240There are unquestionably people on the other side of that border who wish us harm.
00:25:07.520And yes, a lot of them are doing business as cartels, and they're being enriched, thanks to the Biden policy, to the tune of whatever it is, tens of millions of dollars a day.
00:25:17.740They can do a lot of damage on both sides of the border with that kind of cash flow.
00:25:25.080Beyond that, of course, we've got, and we've done a number of programs on this with our Committee on the Present Danger China.
00:25:31.480We've got the Chinese all over our hemisphere now, as well as the Russians, as well as the Iranians, Hezbollah, and the indigenous communists that are now taking over country after country.
00:25:43.080So what happens on that border isn't, of course, just a problem for the states and communities literal to it.
00:25:52.860It's now the whole country, and they're coming here with a purpose in mind, I think, some of them.
00:25:59.380They want economic opportunities, many of them for sure, but some of them are coming here to do us mortal injury.
00:26:06.920And we are leaving ourselves open to it, Steve.
00:26:09.720That is a national security threat of the first order.
00:26:16.880Look, we've got Boris coming on at the bottom of the hour.
00:26:18.860There's a lot going on in the Mar-a-Lago situation, but we cannot allow that to take our eye off the ball, although obviously we have President Trump's back and want him to announce ASAP.
00:26:28.220We can't take the eye off the ball on the economy, the CCP, Taiwan, the southern border.
00:26:32.760There's so many massive things going on.
00:26:34.840How is community on the present danger?
00:26:36.120Walk me through your seminar series, and how can people get access to this great content?
00:26:39.980Well, I'm a little close to it to be completely impartial.
00:26:44.100I'm the moderator of these programs, but I will tell you, they're just stupendously impressive, each and every one of them.
00:26:52.440On Thursdays, as you know, we document the nature of the unrestricted warfare that's being waged against us by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:27:01.000It's been going on for decades, but it's now very palpable, damaging our country.
00:27:06.720Last week, we did a fascinating one on supply chain vulnerabilities, what that's translating into for our country.
00:27:15.620I think this week we're going to do one on people's war, which the Chinese Communist Party has declared against our country.
00:27:22.100The companion to that series is one about what harm Americans are doing in the service of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:27:31.240Last week, we did it on Biden's takedown of the U.S. military.
00:27:35.320Stunning assessment of how damaged the military is now by virtue of all these purges and vaccine mandates and all the rest of it.
00:27:45.060Tomorrow, we're going to do one that's singularly important about the China model with respect to this pandemic, which has created not only a very bad response to the COVID-19 biological warfare attack, but also created, I think, real damage for our country's freedoms.
00:28:04.980Frank, how do people, real quickly, how do people get to the easiest way to get to the briefings?
00:28:09.620They're all at presentdangerchina.org.
00:28:45.080And that change starts with you and your wallet.
00:28:47.940That's why I'm proud to partner with Public SQ, the largest network of patriotic, freedom-loving businesses and consumers our nation has ever seen.
00:28:56.260Public SQ is the first app to connect freedom-loving Americans with their local community and the businesses that share their values.
00:29:04.260Whether you want to support a restaurant that only buys from local farms, a coffee shop that took a stand against COVID mandates, or a bank that can never cancel you for your political views, Public SQ is your guide.
00:29:16.420There's also interactive, sensor-free community groups where you can connect with other local members.
00:30:59.700You're seeing right now as these brave governors of these states, like in Baja, California, they're sitting there going, hey, I got to call out the troops.
00:31:40.240If you do it, it's going to have – first off, you have to do it for the country.
00:31:44.260Number two, it's politically smart because nobody defends them.
00:31:47.500Number three, every town in New Hampshire, what did General Bolduc say?
00:31:50.380Every time he goes around to a town or village, they're talking about the invasion on the southern border.
00:31:54.320This Daily Mail story from Fox News actually says, you know, the representative down there saying, hey, he talked to the president of Guatemala, and the guy goes, Biden's never called me.
00:32:09.380I keep saying it's going to be the first article of impeachment.
00:32:11.500And now that the cartels are at each other's throats, all because of money and control of the drug trade and because of control of human trafficking, it's going to spill over into the Rio Grande Valley, South Texas, Arizona, California.
00:40:55.020Well, what we have, what we're doing here, you guys, the most important event of our lifetime could be one of the most important events in history.
00:41:20.560Through my eyes, there'll be – if you go to Frank's speech, you can go right to the summit.
00:41:28.000I'll show all the speakers that are going to be speaking during those first three hours.
00:41:32.980Then we have the State of the States address.
00:41:36.220This is a seven-hour event with every state in alphabetical order is going to be getting up on that stage and saying the footprint of their stage, what they've found, what's went on, what's their blockers, who have their blockers been, what's going on with lawsuits that you're not hearing about out there, ones that are pending.
00:41:57.100A lot of surprises during those seven hours.
00:42:00.400Every state will be up there, and it's going to be epic.
00:42:04.260Then at night, we're showing the movie Selection Code.
00:42:06.520It's a world premiere, free to the world.
00:42:10.200And then the next morning, for the first two hours, we'll be – I have Hank Kuhneman.
00:44:32.480So, Mike, once again, every day we're going to have you on to talk about a different aspect of this.
00:44:37.360Right now, how do people just watch it for free?
00:44:40.480If we're going to be there in Springfield, Missouri for a couple of days, and we can't have the public, but we invited them to come in digitally or through cyber.
00:45:06.720The Moment of Truth Summit tells the whole lineup.
00:45:09.540You guys need to go there and share, share, share.
00:45:12.780We have all six segments broke out in content.
00:45:16.000You can help save your country by sharing this content everywhere.
00:45:20.220That's emailing everybody you know, texting everybody you know, social media, True Social, Getter, Gab, Frank Speech, even the Suckabucks Facebook, Twitter.
00:45:31.320Get the word out because if people watch, I'm telling you, it's over.
00:45:37.080We're going to get rid of these machines once and for all and get our country back, Steve.
00:45:41.660It's going to be what you're going to see happen at this weekend.
00:45:44.440This isn't something you can go, oh, I'll wait and watch it after the fact.
00:45:48.380No, we're going to 9 to 9, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and we're going to flip it on its head so you can watch it taped here at Frank Speech, too.
00:45:57.000You need to watch some of it or all of it that weekend because it's a real-time thing that's going to change this country forever.
00:46:26.980If Denver could play it, Fox News has just broken on Daily Mail.
00:46:31.120Just unbelievable footage, 2,000 illegal aliens coming across the Rio Grande River right there into Del Rio, Texas.
00:46:42.120Oscar, nobody's done a better job than Real America's Voice.
00:46:44.840You, Burkwam, Ben's been the whole crew of reporting this.
00:46:48.040Now we have not just an invasion, not just these caravans, not just – and the poor people in Mexico have all that blowing through there.
00:46:56.640In addition, we have a cartel war breaking out on Mexico's northern border, whether it's in Juarez, whether it's in Tijuana, all those cities.
00:47:05.620Just before we get you back tomorrow morning, what's the summary?
00:47:08.640Give us the summary of what's happening in this cartel war.
00:47:10.760Nineteen people, Mr. Bennett, are the ones that they are supposedly right now arrested.
00:47:18.120Out of the 19 people, four people already been sent to the city of Mexico to be prosecuted on the grounds of terrorism.
00:47:27.200For the first time in history, it is going to be on the grounds of terrorism, and people are going to be judged on that.
00:47:34.300And a lot of people were waiting on how they are going to be sentenced and how this is going to move forward.
00:47:39.840A little bit earlier today, we were in – outside of the headquarters, of the military headquarters, and the military told us to move because there was a huge convoy arriving of intelligence agents that they were practically, you know, going to be participating with the military to basically control the insecurity and to provide more tranquility into the citizens of Mexico.
00:48:04.080And now, when it comes to this, Mr. Bennett, in 2000, it says nothing.
00:48:10.500What is coming into Tapachula, it is 1,200 per day.
00:48:16.780This is what the intelligence agency of the Institute of National Immigration has reported, that 1,200 per day are coming into the south borders of Mexico.
00:48:26.820That means Yucatán, that means Tabasco, that means Chiapas, that means the Gulf of Mexico, that means the whole southern border is being flooded with an enormous influx of migrants that they're coming in from Central and South America, sir.
00:48:39.500And to addition to that, sir, before I go – sorry, sir.
00:48:45.920And now, sir, what is happening in Nicaragua with the socialist dictator of Daniel Ortega that has ordered the leftist radicals to destroy Christian churches and also Catholic churches, there is going to be another flood of Nicaraguan, you know, migrants that they're going to come in into the south borders, sir.
