Summary

The government has been shut down since midnight on Dec. 22 because of a lack of funding for the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department, and other government agencies. Democrats and Republicans have been unable to come to a compromise on funding the government, and a deal has yet to be reached.

00:00:00.000 They're also trying to impeach Biden. Let us not forget they're trying two multiple impeachments at
00:00:04.880 the same time. Mike Johnson is worried, right? The last speaker did not keep his job. And I think
00:00:11.140 that this is a ploy. I also think, look, gas is under $3. This is, you know, inflation is coming
00:00:17.280 down. Economic news is good, right? We've had that soft landing. People may be cranky about
00:00:23.600 the economy, but the fundamentals are solid. That is kind of a miracle. And I think that
00:00:29.560 Republicans don't have that much to run on. And these crime numbers are down. So the thing
00:00:34.380 they have, the thing that they need is fear. And the only thing that they can find that they
00:00:39.180 think will help them run is the border because they think that there's fear. But the thing
00:00:43.800 that we don't talk about when it comes to immigration is we don't talk about this is a very tight
00:00:47.880 labor market. We actually need these people to work jobs. And I think that you're not, you
00:00:54.140 know, there's a larger issue here, which is that we don't have a path to immigration.
00:00:58.580 Yeah, I've never seen the lines this long, man. This is wild.
00:01:05.580 killing them.
00:01:08.960 Yeah.
00:01:09.400 Yeah, it is wild.
00:01:10.580 Yeah, it is wild.
00:01:17.580 Yeah, it is wild.
00:01:19.780 Yeah, it's wild.
00:01:22.020 Don't know when you lose your choice?
00:01:25.200 Yeah.
00:01:26.200 Yeah.
00:01:27.540 Hello, how are you?
00:01:57.540 Hello, hello, hello, hello friend.
00:02:27.540 But I guess my question is, is if you don't get H.R.2, that's it.
00:02:36.960 You're not willing to. Let's say let's say there was I mean, I've seen the White House and the Democrats in the Senate go in your direction on this issue more than I've ever seen Democrats go in your direction.
00:02:50.060 And I've been in this town for a little longer than you. I've seen President Bush try to do this.
00:02:55.660 I've seen President Obama try to do this. And it always comes down to the House Republicans and what they're willing to accept.
00:03:01.740 You would turn down a compromise that was not 100 percent of H.R.2.
00:03:10.560 Jake, I'm not going to answer hypotheticals because they've not sent us any any any suggestion yet.
00:03:15.800 There's there's no draft bill. But I would tell you, I don't care if they call it H.R.2.
00:03:20.120 I do care about the provisions that will seal the border.
00:03:22.580 I don't think now is the time to do comprehensive immigration reform, because to your point, it's very complicated.
00:03:27.860 It's very complex to do. But we can seal the border.
00:03:30.660 We could do it overnight. The president has the existing authority under existing federal law to do that.
00:03:37.480 And he refuses to do it. Secretary Mayorkas has administered this.
00:03:41.380 He's in charge of operational control of the border. And what we see here is absolute mayhem.
00:03:46.480 This is not a Republican or Democrat issue. It affects every American and every citizen along here.
00:03:51.420 But that's that's why that's who they need to listen to.
00:03:53.660 Well, can we see a show of hands who will vote to shut down the government?
00:03:59.500 We're not going to do show of hands. We're not in a classroom. We're not doing show of hands.
00:04:03.320 Well, here's the here's the deal on the on the shutdown.
00:04:05.860 We are working hard to get the appropriations bills done.
00:04:10.380 And the resolve of this group and that you've seen with our votes and carrying over and crushing the Christmas omnibus fever, as we did with our laddered approach and the two step CR, we have until mid-January.
00:04:21.620 You have until early February to get the appropriations bills done.
00:04:24.120 We have been working in earnest and in good faith with the Senate and the White House virtually every day through the holiday trying to come to an agreement.
00:04:31.560 Negotiations are still ongoing. It's drug on way too long.
00:04:34.640 But the sooner we get that agreement, the sooner we'll be able to get the appropriations bills done.
00:04:38.680 And let me tell you what our top two priorities are right now.
00:04:41.000 In summary, we want to get the border closed and secured first.
00:04:45.540 And we want to make sure that we reduce non-defense discretionary spending.
00:04:49.920 That is an important objective. You know why?
00:04:51.940 Because we've crossed the threshold of thirty four trillion dollars in debt.
00:04:56.300 Thirty four trillion dollars today.
00:04:57.760 It's a landmark that is unimaginable, would have been unimaginable to previous generations.
00:05:03.520 And here we are.
00:05:04.460 And so we have a responsibility here of fiscal stewardship and fiscal sanity.
00:05:09.180 And that's the priority that you're going to see us pursue.
00:05:11.260 So too early to prejudge any of that.
00:05:13.260 But I'll tell you, we're resolved on those priorities.
00:05:17.800 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:05:22.720 Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on this people.
00:05:27.760 You're just not going to get a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:05:32.280 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:05:34.260 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:05:35.680 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that.
00:05:37.360 But you're not going to stop it.
00:05:38.300 It's going to happen.
00:05:39.580 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:05:42.960 Mega media.
00:05:44.320 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:05:49.740 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:05:52.880 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:05:59.940 War Room.
00:06:00.680 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:06:02.780 Bannon.
00:06:09.380 It's Thursday for January in the year of our Lord, 2024.
00:06:13.500 Let's go to work.
00:06:14.580 You're in the War Room.
00:06:15.880 I think this audience, the muscle of this audience, because you are the muscle of the MAGA movement.
00:06:25.160 You're kind of the cadre, the vanguard of this movement and back of President Trump.
00:06:32.420 I think we've teed this thing up.
00:06:35.000 I think collectively we've teed this thing up pretty well.
00:06:38.160 It's now they want to fight and we're ready for a fight.
00:06:40.760 And I think, and you heard Jake Tapper right there, I think we're going to fight this on the ground.
00:06:47.820 We want to, you know, it's always important if you look at land wars and land campaigns, always make sure you get ground.
00:06:54.040 You know, Gettysburg might have not turned out the way it did if you had had better ground for the Confederacy, as James Longstreet continued to try to tell General Lee.
00:07:04.240 So the ground is important.
00:07:05.660 I think it's shaping up that we're going to fight on the ground of our choosing.
00:07:09.080 It's, as Jake said, I've been in this town a long time, longer than Johnson, and he's never seen it come our way.
00:07:15.820 We're shifting the Overton window.
00:07:17.840 It's not nearly good enough.
00:07:19.500 And this is about steely resolve because we're going to need steely resolve.
00:07:23.040 But the buried lead there was Speaker Johnson.
00:07:28.000 What did he say the two priorities were?
00:07:29.480 The two priorities, as we have over and over hammered, and you have gotten to your representatives and to your friends and family as force multiplier, using Bill Blaster.
00:07:40.480 That's why Grace Chung and the team, the development team, made it for you guys, to make you guys have more operating leverage.
00:07:45.620 It's secure and shut down the border and cuts to discretionary.
00:07:53.960 Now, he said non-defense spending.
00:07:56.940 I'm of the belief that – and that's why we intercut that.
00:08:00.060 I want to thank the team in Denver, the Real America's Voice team, and my own crack production team here.
00:08:05.640 The guys are going a little bit Oppenheimer.
00:08:07.560 They're trying to be Chris Nolan on these cold opens, which I think is great.
00:08:10.780 Just cut back and forth between – and let you know what's going on in the world.
00:08:14.560 This is the expanding conflict in the Middle East.
00:08:19.980 I think defense spending has to be looked at also.
00:08:23.080 You know, defense spending is almost $900 billion.
00:08:25.260 When you add everything in, it's $900 billion with no audit.
00:08:28.700 And the defense contractors still making – the margins are way too high.
00:08:32.300 So – but that's a detail.
00:08:34.860 The important thing is even Johnson, you saw there, is saying, hey, the two priorities we have is the cut spending.
00:08:42.140 Now, we want massive cuts.
00:08:43.500 They're not there yet.
00:08:44.160 The cut spending and secure the border.
00:08:46.520 Is this perfect?
00:08:47.680 This is a long way from perfect.
00:08:49.360 But are we directionally teeing this up for the fight?
00:08:53.100 And you got today the lead story in the Hill.
00:08:55.640 I don't know if I had a chance to put it up on Getter yet.
00:08:58.540 But if my team could look at it, I think it's still up as a lead story.
00:09:01.080 Just put it up.
00:09:01.600 It's about the changing dynamics within – the changing dynamics within the nation's capital.
00:09:08.400 That right now the Republican conference, the Republican Party and members of the Senate – this story is really about Rick Scott.
00:09:14.800 Rick Scott, who's never been known as a fire breather, saying, hey, this thing on the border has got to be addressed now and nothing else can go for it until we talk about it.
00:09:22.280 That's why we want to isolate this out and was recommended to Speaker Johnson on this show yesterday.
00:09:28.040 Don't tangle this thing up with Ukraine.
00:09:29.840 There can be no money for Ukraine.
00:09:31.720 The Ukraine deal is done.
00:09:33.140 It's finished.
00:09:34.360 We can't kill any more Ukrainians by continuing to shove money over to the oligarchs.
00:09:38.380 Just leave that off to the side.
00:09:40.060 Focus on what's ahead of you.
00:09:42.840 Secure the border or shut it down.
00:09:44.960 Now, you saw there yesterday our own Ben Berkwam, Real America's Voice investigative reporter who now joins us live.
00:09:51.080 Ben, you were the lead story of Mediaite.
00:09:53.540 And for the audience, we put up a lot of stuff for Mediaite because it's really – they do a lot of clips.
00:09:58.840 They have a team that does it.
00:09:59.860 It's one of – I think it's Dan Abrams' company.
00:10:03.180 The guys own News Nation.
00:10:04.760 They own The Hill now.
00:10:06.180 It's been Dan's company for many, many years.
00:10:08.540 It puts up clips.
00:10:09.200 And it's got definitely a left-wing slant.
00:10:11.280 But it gets some good stuff.
00:10:13.300 It's also one of the most – for professionals, it's one of the most sites that people go to a lot because they get clips up quickly.
00:10:18.540 The lead story yesterday, brother, was our own Ben Berkwam at the press conference asked the first question.
00:10:26.140 Can we play that?
00:10:27.120 Do I have that?
00:10:27.980 You just pull it out and let me know if we can play it whole.
00:10:30.780 Who was the – let me know when it's ready and I want to – just Ben Berkwam.
00:10:35.880 Yeah, just that whole thing when you ask the question.
00:10:38.640 Just let me know when it's a – we still have some sleepy young producers here.
00:10:41.720 They've been out booming all night.
00:10:43.220 You know what happens when they come in near dawn and they've got to do their cold opens.
00:10:46.160 Ben, but I want to explain – first off, how did you get the first question?
00:10:51.700 How did Speaker Johnson unfortunately pick Ben Berkwam out of that crowd?
00:10:57.080 That big mistake.
00:10:58.020 His comms director, Speaker Johnson, you get – I would fire the comms.
00:11:02.220 I would fire the comms director immediately.
00:11:04.100 Hey, dude, you dropped the ball.
00:11:05.360 I asked Berkwam.
00:11:06.080 You know he's going to ask a tough question.
00:11:09.380 The irony, Steve – by the way, who calls it booming?
00:11:12.640 But the irony is I raised my hand.
00:11:16.080 I raised my hand and he called on me like in a classroom.
00:11:19.860 Isn't that epic irony there?
00:11:23.180 Yeah, no, it was – I raised my hand.
00:11:25.800 He said, yep, go ahead.
00:11:27.200 And I said – it was very simple.
00:11:28.440 The same question I told you I was going to ask.
00:11:30.460 Who here – I said, I want to see a show of hands.
00:11:32.820 Who here will vote to shut down the government until the border is secure?
00:11:35.660 And before I was even done asking the question, Congressman Pat Fallon jumped in and booed me down and said, we're not in a classroom.
00:11:43.460 We're not going to answer the question.
00:11:45.680 It's just – yeah, it's just the height of arrogance, the McCarthy-era arrogance that we saw yesterday, unfortunately.
00:11:53.020 Okay, do we have the long one?
00:11:58.080 We can go – okay, let's go ahead and – I want to play this.
00:11:59.920 I'll jump in, but go ahead.
00:12:01.000 This is Ben Berquam, and this shows you, with all the talk and all the bravado and everything like that, Ben Berquam asked the one simple question.
00:12:07.460 Hey, can we have a show of hands of who's prepared to shut down the government?
00:12:11.040 And what did they do?
00:12:12.160 They heckled Ben Berquam.
00:12:13.840 Let's go ahead and play it.
00:12:14.880 I'll jump in.
00:12:15.380 Who will vote to shut down the government?
00:12:22.100 We're not going to do show of hands.
00:12:23.760 We're not in a classroom.
00:12:25.160 We're not doing show of hands.
00:12:25.860 Well, here's the deal on the shutdown.
00:12:28.420 We are working hard to get the appropriations bills done.
00:12:33.440 And the resolve of this group and that you've seen with our votes and carrying over and crushing the Christmas omnibus fever as we did with our laddered approach and the two-step CR,
00:12:42.760 we have until mid-January, we have until early February to get the approach bills done.
00:12:46.680 We have been working in earnest and in good faith.
00:12:49.440 Okay.
00:12:50.320 They have been working in earnest.
00:12:51.520 We should have taken three weeks off, Speaker.
00:12:53.360 I'm not trying to nickel and dime this guy.
00:12:55.740 We actually like him a lot and have had his back, but you've got to face reality.
00:12:59.300 The country's in a crisis.
00:13:00.820 So, Ben, first off, who was the guy trying to play Tom Cruise with the wraparound sunglasses, trying to be Clint Eastwood with the wraparound sunglasses,
00:13:10.640 said, no, we're not in a classroom.
00:13:12.000 Well, dude, you are in a classroom.
00:13:13.340 We want to see a show of hands.
00:13:14.540 Who is that?
00:13:15.520 Where is he from?
00:13:16.860 Let's have a discussion about that because that was kind of inappropriate.
00:13:19.700 I thought it was an inappropriate response.
00:13:22.860 Yeah.
00:13:23.300 You know, I'd never heard of the guy before this.
00:13:25.220 His name is Pat Fallon, congressional representative from Texas, 4th District, the northeast side, outside of Dallas, the suburbs and up into the northeast.
00:13:35.540 And, you know, again, my biggest problem with congressional representatives, if I haven't heard of you, if you've been in office for more than two years and I haven't heard of you, that's a problem,
00:13:44.440 especially when you're in Texas and your state is being overrun, our country's being overrun, and I've never heard your name and the first thing you do is heckle me and say we're not in a classroom.
00:13:53.180 After I had to raise my hand to ask the dang question, you can't raise your hand and say, yes, I will stand up for our country and I will shut down our government until we shut down the border.
00:14:02.620 You're upset at that question, not at the fact that our country's being invaded and destroyed from within.
00:14:08.380 I don't have time for that.
00:14:09.860 I don't have time for that, Steve.
00:14:11.160 No, no, Ben, what he's upset about is that you put him on the spot.
00:14:15.320 You said, hey, you've been down here all day.
00:14:17.020 There's been a lot of rah-rah, a lot of what we're doing, a lot of messaging stuff.
00:14:20.400 I just have a question.
00:14:21.860 Are you there?
00:14:23.560 It's a question.
00:14:24.160 You either shut down the border or shut down the government, and not one hand went up.
00:14:28.900 Not one hand.
00:14:29.880 In fact, Ben Burkwam got heckled.
00:14:31.520 Ben, hang on for a second.
00:14:32.800 We're going to take a short commercial break.
00:14:34.760 We're going to return.
00:14:35.320 We've got Burkwam.
00:14:36.420 We've got a couple of congressmen we're trying to get on today, Navarro, Cary Lake.
00:14:39.600 There is a lot going.
00:14:42.860 I don't need to tell you that.
00:14:43.760 You're the war room posse.
00:14:44.840 We got the fight we wanted, and fight we shall.
00:14:47.980 In the war room next.
00:14:48.920 As we head toward a presidential election in November, one thing you can be sure of.
00:15:04.120 2024 will be a tumultuous year like no other.
00:15:08.660 How will your hard-earned savings fare during this year?
00:15:11.360 You're already seeing the impacts of inflation at the pump, the grocery store.
00:15:16.320 The dollar continues to lose buying power quicker than your wages can increase.
00:15:21.180 How are you protecting your savings?
00:15:24.220 Consider diversifying with gold from Birch Gold Group.
00:15:27.680 For decades, gold has been the choice of investors and central banks to hedge against inflation.
00:15:33.760 Now, you can own it in a tax-sheltered IRA with the help of Birch Gold.
00:15:39.080 Just text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898.
00:15:43.340 Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on gold.
00:15:47.260 They'll help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold.
00:15:53.040 And the best part, you don't have to pay a penny out of pocket.
00:15:56.700 With an A-plus rating, with the Better Business Bureau, thousands of satisfied customers, you can trust Birch Gold.
00:16:03.820 Text Bannon to 989898 to claim your free info kit.
00:16:07.500 That's Bannon to 989898.
00:16:10.520 And secure your savings now.
00:16:12.320 Take action.
00:16:13.540 Text Bannon at 989898.
00:16:16.600 Action. Action. Action.
00:16:18.820 The thing that we don't talk about when it comes to immigration is we don't talk about this is a very tight labor market.
00:16:24.080 We actually need these people to work jobs.
00:16:28.300 But I guess my question is, if you don't get H.R. 2, that's it.
00:16:33.060 You're not willing to, let's say there was, I mean, I've seen the White House and the Democrats in the Senate go in your direction on this issue more than I've ever seen Democrats go in your direction.
00:16:46.420 And I've been in this town for a little longer than you.
00:16:49.740 I've seen President Bush try to do this.
00:16:51.700 I've seen President Obama try to do this.
00:16:53.560 And it always comes down to the House Republicans and what they're willing to accept.
00:16:58.220 Sir, can we see a show of hands who will vote to shut down the government?
00:17:04.520 We're not going to do show of hands.
00:17:06.200 We're not in a classroom.
00:17:07.560 We're not doing show of hands.
00:17:10.140 Yeah, Pat Fallon, you are in a classroom.
00:17:12.980 It's unacceptable.
00:17:13.720 People in Texas, and we went through this with the impeachment of the attorney general.
00:17:19.720 The problem we have in Texas is you have – it's a super MAGA state packed with patriots and MAGA heroes in these super red districts.
00:17:32.380 And you have guys like Fallon that kind of talk the talk but will not walk the walk.
00:17:36.460 No.
00:17:37.160 Your responsibility is not to sit there and trash talk somebody.
00:17:40.340 Oh, we're not in a classroom.
00:17:41.360 You're a tough guy.
00:17:42.000 Hey, tough guy, show your hand.
00:17:43.640 You prepare to shut down the – call Fallon's office today if you're down in Texas.
00:17:48.280 202-225-3121 or go over to Bill Blaster.
00:17:52.420 Grace Chong will get up right now, his local office, and just ask him the question.
00:17:58.740 Are you prepared to – if they don't shut the border, are you prepared to shut down the government?
00:18:01.660 And why didn't you ask the question yesterday?
00:18:03.140 Why did you trash talk Ben Burquam?
00:18:05.100 Ben Burquam, dude, Fallon, you have not lifted a finger on this thing.
00:18:09.640 You're the typical guy that gets in there and just glides through it.
00:18:12.080 Okay?
00:18:12.360 You have not lifted a finger.
00:18:13.240 Ben Burquam, for the last three years, since the day Biden, the illegitimate regime, came in, he's put his life on the line.
00:18:20.540 He and Oscar Blue Ramirez have been in the Daring Gap.
00:18:23.260 Brother, tough guy, you been down the Daring Gap?
00:18:25.380 Tough guy?
00:18:26.220 Have you been there?
00:18:26.940 I'm not talking a photo op and you're sitting there, Becca Johnson.
00:18:29.840 Remember, not one of those people raised their hand.
00:18:32.540 What'd they do?
00:18:33.060 They blew back on Ben Burquam.
00:18:34.460 Oh, don't ask that because he put him on the spot.
00:18:37.260 This is a group of gutless cowards.
00:18:38.780 You had nothing but rhinos sitting right in the back of him.
00:18:40.600 It's time to light these people up and say, hey, you represent us, right?
00:18:45.280 Oh, we're not in a classroom.
00:18:46.580 No, bro.
00:18:47.440 You are in a classroom.
00:18:48.980 You're trying to show the American people what's going on.
00:18:51.540 And what you showed right there, that you're a gutless coward.
00:18:55.020 Let me repeat that.
00:18:56.240 A gutless coward.
00:18:57.760 And people in Texas and your district should be ashamed of you.
00:19:00.900 So today, let him have it.
00:19:02.980 Tell him, hey, bro, we want to hear, we want you to raise, we want to know if you're going to raise your hand or not going to raise your hand.
00:19:07.180 If they don't shut down the border, are you going to shut down the government?
00:19:10.420 Ben Burquam's question was very, very straightforward.
00:19:14.640 Very straightforward.
00:19:15.500 This is a McCarthy guy.
00:19:16.960 Typical McCarthy guy, right?
00:19:19.020 Hung in there in McCarthy, voted for McCarthy all the time.
00:19:22.160 Look what McCarthy, you know what McCarthy gave you, Pat Fallon?
00:19:25.620 He gave us $34 trillion in debt.
00:19:27.980 He allowed Biden, the day that, and you voted against it, but the day you vote against it was $31.4 trillion.
00:19:34.560 You had McCarthy's back.
00:19:35.700 You voted against the debt thing, that's fine.
00:19:38.380 $31.4 trillion, now it's $34 trillion.
00:19:40.380 $2.6 trillion in, what, six months?
00:19:43.940 That's why at least Johnson's directionally right here, but we've got to take the hard line.
00:19:48.400 We have to be the conscience here.
00:19:50.640 We have to be the rock and unmovable.
00:19:53.100 It's very simple.
00:19:54.860 You know, you talk about these appropriations bills and everything.
00:19:57.020 Oh, you got to the 19th.
00:19:58.180 Well, you've had over a year, and we ain't got them yet.
00:20:02.200 These are appropriations bills not for the fiscal year we're in.
00:20:06.320 It's for the last fiscal year for this year.
00:20:08.860 In other words, it's not the one we should be working on that we've got to promulgate over the summer for next year.
00:20:13.600 What they should be working on now is for we're six months into this or five months into this.
00:20:18.040 They haven't done it.
00:20:19.160 And, of course, they're taking off three weeks all the time.
00:20:21.200 Every time you turn around another three-week holiday, you have a three-week holiday.
00:20:26.440 And this is for Speaker Johnson.
00:20:27.700 Do not come forward with one penny on Ukraine, bro.
00:20:32.620 You see this thing right here?
00:20:34.240 The war in the Middle East is expanding.
00:20:37.040 You know, Fox News today says, hey, we're having 118 hits on guys in Iraq and the fleet out there in the Red Sea.
00:20:42.840 The Israelis, they killed the chief architect of the Muslim Brotherhood's franchisees, Hamas.
00:20:48.420 You saw that?
00:20:49.220 They took him out with a basic assassination via drone.
00:20:53.860 Please don't bury the lead.
00:20:55.340 They took him out in Beirut.
00:20:57.180 Okay?
00:20:57.680 He was not in Qatar.
00:20:59.060 He's not in Egypt.
00:21:00.480 He's not in Gaza.
00:21:01.840 He's in Beirut.
00:21:02.780 Well, who else is in Beirut?
00:21:03.780 Let me think about this for a second.
00:21:05.160 Oh, hey, that's right.
00:21:06.020 The Persian militia is up there.
00:21:08.140 And so that's what you see right now.
00:21:09.880 The Persian militia is starting to ratchet up.
00:21:12.420 If we're going to have to fight one, and God knows we don't, this is why we need Trump back.
00:21:16.360 We need somebody to go and bang heads together and get to peace there quickly.
00:21:20.600 No more money for Ukraine.
00:21:22.660 Enough Ukrainians have died.
00:21:24.280 So, Johnson, I know they got you down in the situation room, and I know you've got to take a team in there.
00:21:28.600 Take Gates in there.
00:21:29.820 Take some of these guys that are experienced about the deep state rolling you.
00:21:33.360 You've got to stand up.
00:21:34.520 You have to deliver.
00:21:36.300 It's now time.
00:21:37.440 I don't need any more biblical worldview.
00:21:39.480 I need you to stand, and I'm going to see all the biblical worldview about you standing and delivering and using your agency.
00:21:45.800 And they're going to come at you from every direction.
00:21:47.620 Oh, the country's going to fall apart.
00:21:49.000 The economy's going to fall apart.
00:21:50.140 It's all a lie.
00:21:51.500 Just ask them a question.
00:21:52.940 If we go through, and unless you have another $2 trillion deficit this year, in less than six months, we've got to get to another one.
00:22:00.400 It's another $2 trillion, and another $2 trillion, and another $2 trillion, and another $2 trillion.
00:22:04.120 In perpetuity, unless there's some radical cuts in spending.
00:22:09.060 And don't sit there and go, well, it's all in timeless.
00:22:11.040 We can't do anything in timeless.
00:22:11.960 That is a bald-faced lie, a bald-faced lie.
00:22:16.820 You have two things you have to do.
00:22:18.260 First, those massive cuts, and I know you're not going to hear this.
00:22:20.960 I know you're not going to hear it, but you're going to have to take the super wealthy, the billionaires.
00:22:26.300 You're going to have some tax increases.
00:22:28.800 Do I have the Nikki Haley?
00:22:29.880 Can I put that Nikki Haley thing up?
00:22:31.340 Is that ready to go?
00:22:32.200 Denver, can you put the Nikki Haley?
00:22:33.740 I'll get to more of this later.
00:22:34.880 Nikki Haley's got a meeting, her paymasters.
00:22:39.020 This is one of these committees that raise money.
00:22:41.700 Now, the important thing here, that is who's who of the big donors of the Republican Party, the big fat cats who hate Trump.
00:22:49.760 And they don't hate Trump personally.
00:22:51.260 Most of them know him and like the guy.
00:22:52.780 They hate him because he's put you in the room.
00:22:55.760 He's empowered you.
00:22:57.320 And trust me, they hate you.
00:22:59.620 They may sit there and go, yeah, let's wave the flag, and we love the servicemen, and let's cry a big crocodile to you, and thank you for your service.
00:23:06.600 Thank you for your service.
00:23:07.780 You ain't seen any of their kids out there on foreign battlefields.
00:23:11.020 You don't see them walking, posting the Hindu Kush.
00:23:13.680 You don't see them on these ships in the South China Sea.
00:23:15.920 No, no, no.
00:23:16.700 That's for you.
00:23:17.780 That's for you.
00:23:18.780 Okay, let's go back and keep that up for a second.
00:23:21.020 We don't see my lovely visage.
00:23:24.040 Let's put that back up for a second.
00:23:25.880 Thank you, Denver.
00:23:27.120 Okay, there we go.
00:23:28.060 Thank you.
00:23:28.660 Put it up.
00:23:29.160 Keep it up.
00:23:30.520 Okay, guys, it's a tutorial.
00:23:32.720 If you look at that list, that is the biggest fat cats, the biggest.
00:23:37.140 That's the lords of easy money.
00:23:38.760 That's the hedge fund guy, Henry Kravis.
00:23:41.260 Every dirtball donor is in there.
00:23:44.520 And look at the date.
00:23:46.180 Oh, look at the date.
00:23:47.160 The date's the 30th of January.
00:23:49.420 The 30th of January.
00:23:50.620 Oh, that's after New Hampshire.
00:23:52.360 If you think they're backing off this Nikki thing, you got another thing coming.
00:23:56.080 And this is the open borders crowd.
00:23:58.300 This is the crowd that wants to.
00:24:00.120 This is the crowd that wants to.
00:24:01.400 We got that thing from Nikki.
00:24:02.340 Don't call them criminals.
00:24:03.660 Now, we're not into demonizing these people come across the border.
00:24:06.200 But hey, guess what, Nikki?
00:24:07.720 They did break the law, and they're going home.
00:24:09.820 So it doesn't do any good for you to kind of tee up the Saab's sister story that your donors want.
00:24:15.540 The donors, or Molly Young, she said the quiet part out loud.
00:24:19.000 And she speaks for the Democratic donors, but the Uniparty donors are just as bad.
00:24:22.900 We need them for their labor.
00:24:25.260 If you're black or if you're Hispanic citizen in this country, working class or lower middle class,
00:24:31.680 she just said the quiet part out loud.
00:24:33.200 This is what they talk about all the time.
00:24:35.420 They talk about they want to flood the zone with illegal alien labor.
00:24:39.380 Why?
00:24:39.860 Let me do some math here.
00:24:41.000 Hang on.
00:24:41.540 Hang on.
00:24:42.020 Oh, they want to drive down wages.
00:24:44.200 Because, you know, you guys are making too much money.
00:24:46.740 The working class in this country is making too much money.
00:24:49.180 It's your fault.
00:24:49.860 It's your problem.
00:24:50.480 You're the inflation.
00:24:51.580 You're the problem with inflation.
00:24:53.300 You're the problem.
00:24:54.560 Ben Burkwam, when you see Nikki Haley, her new paymasters, you got the elite of the elite.
00:24:59.160 And that 30 January means they ain't going away.
00:25:02.040 That's to reload and restock her for the run-up to not just South Carolina, but also to Super Tuesday.
00:25:09.300 She's in.
00:25:10.240 She's all in.
00:25:11.020 She's going to have big money in backers.
00:25:12.560 You got Fox in backers.
00:25:13.580 You got the Murdochs in backers.
00:25:14.660 You got the big money in backers.
00:25:16.540 What does she not understand about the border, brother, and her donors?
00:25:22.820 Well, she doesn't understand what the American people believe about the border.
00:25:26.440 And it goes back to Pat Fallon as well and all of these Republicans.
00:25:30.060 The American people are beyond fed up with this.
00:25:32.740 They see what's happening down here.
00:25:34.400 I've got locals down here we're going to be talking to that are having to deal with this.
00:25:37.760 Every one of their communities, and we were talking about it yesterday, Steve, every one
00:25:40.900 of the communities across America are being destroyed by these open border policies.
00:25:45.180 And you have people like Nikki Haley living in their ivory tower bubbles that don't have
00:25:49.180 to live with these policies.
00:25:50.280 So they can say all the platitudes.
00:25:51.760 They can say all the things, the happy talk you talk about.
00:25:54.600 But they're not doing anything to fix it.
00:25:56.900 And the only solution that the American people want is no more.
00:26:00.860 No more.
00:26:01.500 Nikki, listen.
00:26:02.760 No more.
00:26:03.780 Get rid of it.
00:26:04.640 Stop what's happening.
00:26:05.860 Deport.
00:26:06.340 Do what President Trump said.
00:26:07.840 Otherwise, stop talking.
00:26:09.240 The American people don't want to hear it.
00:26:11.060 Nikki Haley's a joke.
00:26:12.140 She shouldn't even be in there.
00:26:13.240 Neither should anyone else, really, that's running in that fake primary.
00:26:16.840 But it is.
00:26:17.500 The people are just sick of it, Steve.
00:26:19.120 They're sick of it.
00:26:20.720 Hang on.
00:26:21.920 I want you to hold through the break.
00:26:23.020 I'm going to bring Andy Biggs on, but we're going to come back to you.
00:26:25.100 We've got economics talking about capital markets.
00:26:27.300 But here's the point, Ben.
00:26:29.400 If you had not asked that question, how many of those, unless you put the glaring spotlight
00:26:34.580 on them and shame them individually, like we just did to Pat Fallon, how many of those
00:26:39.720 are going to worm out of here and not vote to shut down the government if the border's
00:26:43.980 not shut down, sir?
00:26:47.100 Yeah.
00:26:47.560 I mean, all of them.
00:26:48.520 I can't say all of them.
00:26:49.720 You've got some good ones.
00:26:50.320 You're going to have Andy Biggs on, he'll stand up, but there are a large number of
00:26:54.000 them, probably 30-plus.
00:26:55.580 No, but hang on.
00:26:56.220 They don't get pressure.
00:26:57.320 Hang on.
00:26:58.140 Hang on.
00:26:58.840 Ho, ho, ho.
00:26:59.640 Andy Biggs was not in that background.
00:27:01.080 Andy Biggs and Gates and these guys are out doing their own deal.
00:27:03.820 They wouldn't stand in back of that because they understand those are rhinos back there.
00:27:06.620 How many of those rhinos?
00:27:07.880 Am I wrong?
00:27:09.080 Did any hands go up?
00:27:10.200 You were there.
00:27:10.700 I didn't see any hands of the 60 guys.
00:27:12.340 I didn't.
00:27:12.820 Did any hands go up?
00:27:13.740 I didn't see any hands go up.
00:27:15.300 I didn't see any hands go up, but I did have several of them come up to me afterwards and
00:27:18.400 say, we like the question.
00:27:19.980 We support that.
00:27:21.560 But you could tell there was just once that, once the murmur came over, they were like,
00:27:26.060 oh, we don't want to be the only ones raising our hand.
00:27:29.500 No, that's called gutless.
00:27:30.900 OK, Ben, you hang around there.
00:27:32.120 We're going to take a short commercial break.
00:27:34.280 We've got Congressman Andy Biggs has been on this.
00:27:36.220 A great thing about Biggs, he's probably the number one guy on the border.
00:27:39.620 He's also in the top two or three on this massive debt problem.
00:27:43.480 Andy Biggs does not back off.
00:27:44.960 This is a guy that's tough as boot leather.
00:27:46.740 He's one of the leaders in this.
00:27:47.840 And remember, we've got to fight, ladies and gentlemen, but it's a fight we want, and
00:27:52.480 it's a fight on ground that I think is going to be of our own choosing.
00:27:57.720 We've got to come together.
00:27:59.400 We've got to fight hard because they're going to try to roll us hard, roll us hard.
00:28:04.180 Short break.
00:28:05.280 Congressman Biggs in a moment.

00:30:02.060 For this bureaucracy of his government, until you've brought this border under control,
00:30:08.680 shut the border down or shut the government down.
00:30:11.020 We are all committed to that.
00:30:14.260 There's a national security issue that is being taken place here on the southern border,
00:30:20.660 and that's what it's going to take to hold this administration accountable.
00:30:24.660 Sir, can we see a show of hands who will vote to shut down the government?
00:30:31.420 No, we're not going to do show of hands.
00:30:32.580 No, we're not in a classroom.
00:30:34.440 We're not doing show of hands.
00:30:37.320 Yeah, Fallon, you're in a classroom.
00:30:38.880 You're getting schooled today, bro.
00:30:40.520 That was a complete disrespect from somebody who's put his life on the line to serve this nation.
00:30:48.760 Ben Burkwam and Oscar Blue Ramirez and the entire Real America's Voice team have been down there over the last couple of years in some of the most dangerous areas in the world to cover this.
00:30:58.980 So don't sit there and give them any smack talk.
00:31:01.840 And folks in Texas, this is the problem you've got.
00:31:04.380 Problem you've got, you've got MAGA red districts.
00:31:07.320 You've got tons of patriots.
00:31:08.680 We saw this in the impeachment of the attorney general, Paxton.
00:31:14.120 What you have is a bunch of McCarthyites.
00:31:16.560 You've got a bunch of folks down there that just want to be performative, want to tap you along and still play the game.
00:31:21.880 Well, game's over.
00:31:23.560 Real simple question, Fallon.
00:31:25.820 If they don't shut down the border, are you prepared to shut down the government?
00:31:29.400 Yes or no.
00:31:30.260 There's no – we don't need any debate.
00:31:31.800 It's a yes or no question.
00:31:33.500 And yesterday you were too gutless to raise your hand.
00:31:37.740 If you don't want to raise your hand, that's fine.
00:31:39.560 We're not telling you how to vote.
00:31:41.520 But your constituents should light the phones up today.
00:31:44.020 And let's hear from the constituents.
00:31:45.560 I have not had a congressman on here in any district when we ask about this question.
00:31:49.460 It's unanimous.
00:31:50.180 They say, oh, yeah, I bring my district.
00:31:52.760 Congressman Andy Biggs – and this is providential.
00:31:56.300 I keep harping on this inspector general report because this is what a scam it is.
00:32:01.940 When you see these people on Fox and CNN and MSNBC and they're talking about this and all these people come to the country.
00:32:08.420 We have 8 to 10 million right now from Todd Benzman's estimates and even the government's estimates.
00:32:13.100 The inspector general, which is like Caesar's wife in these departments, they did an inspector general report and issued it and said, as quickly as you're processing them, these little stubs they get, they're supposed to get them back in a year or two years, which is bad enough.
00:32:29.900 75% of them, they just scribble a McDonald's in South Park, Illinois.
00:32:37.380 There's no way to track – I'm reading this report and I go, what in the hell is going on here?
00:32:41.920 We don't make any pretense of tracking these people.
00:32:45.940 And thank God, the heroes, the Andy Biggs's and the Gates, yesterday, the reason they couldn't come on the show, they go, oh, hey, Steve, by the way, we're doing our own thing.
00:32:54.880 We got the inspector general and we're going to have a meeting with him, Andy Biggs.
00:32:59.540 Please tell the audience what this inspector general report is, who he is, and what it says about the reality of this invasion of our country.
00:33:08.820 Yeah, Steve, thanks.
00:33:09.680 This is Inspector General Joseph Kaffari, Dr. Joseph Kaffari.
00:33:15.820 He is the DHS, Department of Homeland Security Inspector General.
00:33:19.380 He conducts a massive number of audits.
00:33:22.620 They do criminal investigations within DHS, et cetera.
00:33:27.380 And if I've got the numbers right, last year, over 1,000 criminal investigations and north of 60 audits of performance.
00:33:37.680 And one of those is Inspector General Report 23-47.
00:33:43.780 And that is the report to which you were referring.
00:33:47.360 And in that report, you see a couple of things that are really stark.
00:33:50.900 Number one, basically 100 percent of the people that have been let loose into the country under the Biden administration, we don't know where they are.
00:34:02.320 We don't really have a thorough vetting of almost 100 percent of them.
00:34:07.720 But the most chilling part about this is if it is 8 million people, 6 million of those people are in this country.
00:34:15.880 We don't know really who they are, where they're going.
00:34:19.860 We don't know.
00:34:20.780 We've lost all contact with them.
00:34:22.620 And the problem with that is, Steve, is a lot of them may have – they may have good intentions, but they may have bad intentions.
00:34:31.360 We just simply don't know who they are.
00:34:33.320 And that doesn't include, by the way –
00:34:34.620 Listen, they could be – hang on.
00:34:37.120 It could be St. Francis of Assisi.
00:34:40.060 I don't care.
00:34:40.560 They're here.
00:34:41.320 We talk about mass deportations.
00:34:43.260 Go back.
00:34:43.760 Hit rewind.
00:34:44.340 I need everybody to put the Warpath coffee mug down for a second.
00:34:49.900 You've got to focus on this.
00:34:51.520 This is signal because it shows you what a scam the whole thing is.
00:34:55.440 Go back.
00:34:56.180 The inspector general has a report of the 8 million illegal alien invaders in this nation that have been invited in by this illegitimate regime.
00:35:05.220 You're telling me the inspector general – and he's no MAGA guy.
00:35:08.800 He's no Trump.
00:35:09.840 These guys are straight as an arrow.
00:35:12.080 They're like Caesar's wife, right?
00:35:13.700 Straight as an arrow.
00:35:15.400 He's telling you his report shows 6 million.
00:35:19.180 We not only don't know who they are because you don't know who any of the 8 million are.
00:35:22.560 They don't know who they are.
00:35:23.660 But more importantly, they don't know where they are and there's no method to track them.
00:35:29.080 No, that's exactly right.
00:35:30.920 Think of that.
00:35:31.980 So, Steve, that's 75 percent.
00:35:36.460 And then let's add some additional fire to that.
00:35:40.060 I mean that's from inspector general Kufari.
00:35:42.640 By the way, the Biden-Mayorkas regime has been slow walking getting him additional information that they've requested, not just on this, but on other issues related, that are directly related to this border crisis.
00:35:58.220 And this administration is slow walking and doesn't want to give them information, and so they're having to fight the administration constantly.
00:36:05.560 But moreover, you have got to understand that we don't even know most of these people.
00:36:14.580 We take them at their own background.
00:36:17.340 It is self-identification.
00:36:19.660 A lot of these people, we're trying to get biometric data now, so you're getting some fingerprints, but they use the DNA swab system sparingly.
00:36:30.380 If you're under age 14, and just think of this, Steve, you've got people using the family exceptions.
00:36:37.140 If you're under 14, they won't DNA swab you.
00:36:39.800 They're not going to take biometric information on you if you're under age 14.
00:36:43.100 So you've got people that I've talked to agents who've told me, said, yeah, this person clearly low 20s probably, high teens, low 20s, and they will say, no, I'm 12.
00:36:57.460 And because of its self-identification, what happens is they don't take the biometric data on them.
00:37:05.980 And so it is a massive – it's not just a scam.
00:37:09.960 It is a criminal enterprise by this regime where we're facilitating the logistic arm of the cartels that have no regard for human life.
00:37:21.460 Okay. Hold it.
00:37:23.340 Hit rewind because you're a serious guy.
00:37:24.960 You know about prosecutions.
00:37:26.080 You're saying that in this impeachment of Mayorkas, all this, as I keep saying, skip the impeachment and go right to the criminal referral.
00:37:35.440 There's essentially – this is structured as a criminal enterprise.
00:37:40.480 When you don't take the DNA of kids under 14, you're exacerbating and assisting in the trafficking of children.
00:37:47.380 Am I incorrect on that, Congressman Biggs?
00:37:50.400 No, you're 100 percent right, Steve.
00:37:52.480 And that's the problem.
00:37:53.480 So you get these lefty crazos that bring lawsuits and say you should not do it.
00:38:01.680 You should not get this DNA.
00:38:02.600 But the protection is for the children.
00:38:06.480 I mean, these are the most vulnerable of those people.
00:38:08.440 By the way, the ORR Office of Health and Human Services have misplaced over 100,000 children, by the way.
00:38:15.820 They don't know where they are at all.
00:38:17.260 And some of them were being placed with pedophiles, et cetera, which is just ridiculous.
00:38:24.020 It's dangerous.
00:38:25.060 But to not take the DNA identification of these children and determine whether they're actually related to these individuals is absolutely – well, in my mind, it's criminal.
00:38:39.440 Because you're piling on a series of things and processes in place that facilitate the overrun or the invasion of our southern border.
00:38:52.600 And, you know, we had stuff from the inspector general, but we met yesterday with my little group of five.
00:38:59.680 We met with local health administrators, first responders, ranchers, the head of the Texas – the Border Commission or Border Czar, I guess we call them.
00:39:13.700 So, you know, we met with these people to get the information that you need, that you're not going to get sanitized from the Biden-Mayorkas regime.
00:39:22.700 And it is beyond time to actually say and really do something.
00:39:27.860 I mean, you've got to actually say we're not going to fund your bureaucratic programs, Joe Biden, the things that you hold dear,
00:39:36.640 unless you actually bring border security to the United States of America and protect us from these national security threats that are surely happening.
00:39:47.040 And the other thing about it is everybody wants to say, well, HR2, HR2.
00:39:51.540 I love HR2.
00:39:52.700 I wrote parts of HR2.
00:39:55.140 At one time or another, I introduced every part of HR2.
00:39:57.880 So it's a good bill.
00:39:59.560 But if you have a lawless regime, policy won't do it.
00:40:04.800 You have to leverage what the founders gave us.
00:40:09.080 That's the purse strings to say, no, no, we're not going to give you any more until you secure the border.
00:40:17.200 Okay.
00:40:17.860 Hang on.
00:40:18.360 Hang on.
00:40:18.780 This is more signal.
00:40:20.220 So, ladies and gentlemen, get that number two pencil and write this one down.
00:40:23.600 What Gates is saying, because the two Jakes, the two Jakes, Jake Tapper and Jake Sherman over at Punchbowl, Sherman starts the Punchbowl today.
00:40:32.340 And that's still the most informed thing on Capitol Hill.
00:40:35.600 And Jake Tapper said yesterday and came back on CNN today.
00:40:38.160 He's never seen the city move as quickly as possible to this issue.
00:40:42.960 But they're still going to play games.
00:40:44.840 What Biggs is saying, and this is so important, it's not just HR2.
00:40:49.900 He needs to see the implementation of it.
00:40:51.920 It's not just that we're going to, oh, they would agree to HR2 in the Senate and the White House, which is a huge climb in and of itself.
00:40:57.640 But you're saying no more games, that you need to see the parts of HR2 that was shutting down the border must be shut down before you're prepared to vote on anything.
00:41:07.720 If it takes 30 days, if it takes 60 days, it takes 90 days, however long it takes until that's shut down, not one penny for the Biden regime.
00:41:14.920 Is that your point?
00:41:15.600 Yeah, that's my point.
00:41:17.500 And Steve, think about it.
00:41:19.760 You saw it back in the early 80s, mid 80s, in 1986, when under Ronald Reagan, he was given the – they were going to build a fence.
00:41:29.500 They were going to do all this border security because they had some problems.
00:41:32.220 And so he signed an amnesty bill, which actually ended up being about four or five times as many people got amnesty than were represented.
00:41:41.940 But he was told that if you give us amnesty, we'll give you the border.
00:41:45.100 And that's what is effectively happening even with HR2.
00:41:49.060 They're saying, well, if we get HR2, OK, we're going to keep going.
00:41:52.720 It's not – you can't trust these people.
00:41:54.740 It's a lawless regime, and you have to acknowledge that.
00:41:57.240 Before we go, I know your staff, you've got to bounce, but real quickly, you've also been the tip of the spear of the cuts.
00:42:04.820 Nobody talks about – these cuts are still marginal – he said – Johnson said yesterday it's securing the border and cuts to discretionary spending.
00:42:13.220 Where do you think we stand in that disaster and debacle where we're running $2 trillion deficits?
00:42:19.480 Is there any steam building up to have meaningful cuts?
00:42:23.280 You're going to have some cuts that will bring it down by probably $60 to $80 billion, which is – we would normally would say that's not chump change.
00:42:36.020 But it is when you're out of whack over $200 billion a month.
00:42:40.140 But then they're going to fiddle around with an unfunded supplemental to the Ukraine and Israel and Taiwan and all of that.
00:42:49.680 They're going to try to cram that in.
00:42:50.700 That will be $105.
00:42:51.620 So your net won't be a net $60 to $80 billion cut.
00:42:56.020 It's going to be a net increase in overall spending probably by $35 billion to $50 billion, Steve.
00:43:02.700 That's the falseness of our government.
00:43:07.620 OK.
00:43:08.840 We're all over it.
00:43:09.860 Quickly, you've got 30 seconds.
00:43:11.480 Yes or no?
00:43:12.540 Does Speaker Johnson still have Andy Biggs' vote of confidence, sir?
00:43:16.120 He's better than any alternative that I know of, Steve.
00:43:25.520 OK.
00:43:26.140 I take that – look, you're revered by this audience, so we'll take it as it is.
00:43:30.900 Social media, we've got to bounce.
00:43:32.200 I know you've got to bounce.
00:43:33.020 Social media, where do we track you, Congressman?
00:43:35.380 Biggs.house.gov, at RepAndy Biggs, A-Z.

00:46:12.200 One of the companies that transports the migrants is Jet Limousine,
00:46:16.240 which we learned is a subcontractor to a group called Charter Up.
00:46:20.420 These bus companies have instructed their drivers not to talk to any O'Keefe journalist
00:46:25.060 and to even call the police on us when they see us.
00:46:28.860 More on that soon.
00:46:30.040 Hi, sir.
00:46:32.400 Sir, who do you work for?
00:46:34.720 Sir?
00:46:35.320 I'm wondering, who do you work for?
00:46:37.300 And are you shipping migrants on buses on the hour?
00:46:39.580 I work for Nanyo.
00:46:40.720 Who's doing your business, man?
00:46:46.980 What is that?
00:46:49.740 What is none of my business?
00:46:51.040 What?
00:46:51.300 You're shipping migrants on the hour every hour to the airport?
00:46:55.400 You work for none of your business?
00:46:57.700 Nanyo?
00:46:58.260 None of your business.
00:46:59.160 What's the name of the non-profit that you guys are getting contracts with?
00:47:03.120 You can leave now.
00:47:04.340 We're done.
00:47:04.940 We're finished.
00:47:05.760 What's your name?
00:47:07.440 Nanyo.
00:47:08.180 What's your name?
00:47:09.360 It's actually a lot of my business.
00:47:11.340 The public has a right to know.
00:47:13.320 Bye.
00:47:13.860 The public.
00:47:14.280 We're not going anywhere.
00:47:15.420 We spoke to two individuals who worked at the migrant center, Jesus Moreno and Thomas Robles.
00:47:22.100 Jesus, the man who just slammed the gate on us, then offered us money to make us go away,
00:47:28.560 which sounded to us like a bribe.
00:47:30.560 How much you guys get paid?
00:47:31.600 I'll pay you guys.
00:47:32.900 What's that?
00:47:33.460 How much you guys get paid?
00:47:34.060 Jesus, yeah, nada.
00:47:35.080 No digas nada.
00:47:35.980 Jesus, is that your name, Jesus?
00:47:37.700 Jesus wouldn't give us his first or last name, but his boss shouted it out while she was telling him no digas nada, Spanish for say nothing to them.
00:47:48.580 Nada.
00:47:49.020 No digas nada.
00:47:50.480 No digas nada, give them nothing.
00:47:52.160 So we have a woman saying, Jesus.
00:47:53.940 But using just his first name and face, we found him online almost immediately.
00:47:58.780 We have a bus pulling up, guys, right here.
00:48:02.800 There's two buses.
00:48:05.420 They're going the other way.
00:48:06.580 He's waving.
00:48:07.940 We're trying to get our key for key so much more footage.
00:48:11.640 Birquam, two things.
00:48:13.160 Number one, Birch Gold, this complete debacle.
00:48:15.880 We're going to have Navarro on next.
00:48:17.120 This complete debacle with the U.S. dollar.
00:48:20.140 I've got a story up from Zero Hedge today.
00:48:23.620 Talked about the destruction of the dollar and how the bricks are running away from it.
00:48:26.740 Go get the end of the dollar empire.
00:48:28.240 You need to get up to speed on this.
00:48:30.180 It's inextricably linked with this immigration debacle.
00:48:33.200 Chaos.
00:48:34.360 Make sure you go do it today.
00:48:35.820 Slash Bannon.
00:48:36.700 That's birchgold.com slash Bannon.
00:48:38.640 Understand what's happening to the dollars, the prime reserve currency.
00:48:42.400 Also, call Philip Packer and the team to understand the forces that are driving gold to all-time highs.
00:48:48.380 We don't make direct market calls here or give you financial advice.
00:48:52.520 You've got to talk to the guys at Birch Gold about that.
00:48:54.580 But we do the macro.
00:48:55.920 You need to understand the forces behind it.
00:48:59.320 And your learning curve is pretty impressive.
00:49:02.420 Also, some people out in the chat room are kind of now hopeless.
00:49:04.760 Can we do it?
00:49:05.180 Come on, baby.
00:49:06.340 Let's do it.
00:49:06.900 Let's roll.
00:49:08.080 You think every day was a sunshine day in the American Revolution?
00:49:10.620 Remember, after they signed the declaration, it took, what, eight years of hard fighting?
00:49:14.320 And the British still didn't give up.
00:49:15.460 It wasn't until the Battle of New Orleans in 1815 that they got the lesson delivered to them.
00:49:22.560 It backed off, at least for a while, until the Civil War.
00:49:26.460 You've got to grind.
00:49:27.640 If you're going to be a patriot, you've got to grind.
00:49:29.180 I understand it's tough.
00:49:30.120 I understand it's hard.
00:49:30.800 But this is the fight we want.
00:49:32.120 We've always wanted this fight.
00:49:33.280 Let's have it.
00:49:34.320 Let's have it.
00:49:35.500 We're going to unmask a lot of people on this.
00:49:37.520 We're going to fight hard.
00:49:38.360 Ben Berquam, you've done this.
00:49:41.880 You've seen what O'Keefe is up against.
00:49:43.420 He's got these secret operations.
00:49:44.680 And the key thing in the first part of that, we weren't able to show, but they got the table there.
00:49:49.160 And it was almost like the same situation with you.
00:49:52.040 It's these NGOs that are funding this.
00:49:53.940 This group, the NGO, their revenue last year, this NGO, was, I think, $2.1 billion.
00:50:01.020 $400 million alone from the federal government.
00:50:03.080 Oh, no, excuse me, $1.2 billion, $400 million from the federal government, from this audience tax money paying to ship illegal aliens in this country as quickly as possible.
00:50:13.400 You've got a couple of guests.
00:50:14.620 We've got a few minutes here.
00:50:15.700 I'm going to hold you through the break.
00:50:16.780 Tell us who you've got.
00:50:17.620 Let's hear what they've got to say.
00:50:18.620 Yeah, Steve, it's all the NGOs.
00:50:22.940 All of this is run by NGOs.
00:50:24.420 It's not that we're just paying them once they get here.
00:50:27.680 These NGOs are in foreign countries training people on how to break our immigration laws and teaching them on what to say and what not to say, to slam the door in your face, to say,
00:50:36.540 I was just at the airport here in San Antonio, had a Haitian guy say, don't want to be on camera.
00:50:40.600 All the time they're saying that.
00:50:41.620 They're being trained by these NGOs to do that.
00:50:43.640 We just had a bus drop off behind us at this facility here.
00:50:47.200 This is the main facility in San Antonio.
00:50:49.100 It has 1,000 people in it a day.
00:50:51.060 They're shipping them through every single day.
00:50:53.020 And we watched that bus unload.
00:50:55.120 90% fighting age men.
00:50:57.340 I'm here with Hernando Arce and Joseph Trimmer, locals that are just fed up with this.
00:51:03.640 You're also a veteran.
00:51:05.360 Hernando, let's start with you real quick before we go to break.
00:51:08.520 So why does this matter so much to you?
00:51:10.960 And what's happening out here?
00:51:11.760 Well, because this is a national security issue.
00:51:14.600 And I've been here since the day they opened up their doors in July of 2022 to document what's happening.
00:51:19.940 Because the legacy media is not giving the American people the truth on what's really happening.
00:51:25.620 Joseph?
00:51:26.860 Well, listen, my family is a family of immigrants.
00:51:30.860 My dad took 10, 15 years working at this.
00:51:35.820 He got his citizenship to come to this country, did it legally.
00:51:38.920 And now he has passed.
00:51:40.800 But the biggest gift that he left me is that I am a U.S. citizen because of the work that he put in.
00:51:46.340 And I just can't stand cheaters.
00:51:47.960 It doesn't work for me.
00:51:50.020 Steve?
00:51:50.460 Yeah, ask the question.
00:51:53.680 This is very important.
00:51:55.240 These two guys, terrific patriots.
00:51:57.380 What do they feel like when they see a government that's allowed 10 million illegal alien invaders to come in and crush the wages, take the education, the health care, all of it, from American citizens who are barely getting by?
00:52:11.700 So I'm going to, you're on comms.
00:52:15.980 I'm going to relay that question to you.
00:52:17.060 What do you guys see as American citizens seeing the government allowing 10 million illegal aliens to take the wages, to take the health care, to take everything that they're giving to illegal aliens at the expense of American citizens, Joseph?
00:52:29.120 And by the way, I want to show this, Steve, real quick, too.
00:52:31.200 All around the parking lot, if we can turn the camera, turn it up that direction there.
00:52:35.400 I want to just show you that you've got illegal aliens on every street corner, panhandling, begging.
00:52:40.600 They're selling drugs.
00:52:42.300 It's everything that's bad with what's happening here.
00:52:44.900 There's so many other factors that come into this.
00:52:47.520 But, Joseph, go ahead.
00:52:48.400 Well, listen, I call it.
00:52:49.540 Excuse me, Hernando.
00:52:50.040 Yeah, I call this place not the Welcome Migrant Center.
00:52:53.200 I call it the American Replacement Center because that's what's happening, Steve.
00:52:56.980 These illegal aliens are going to replace the blue-collar workers, the American middle-class workers, by the millions of them.
00:53:03.640 And so, and as we speak in now, we have a black market right behind the cameraman crew where they're selling illegal contraband.
00:53:11.820 They're selling wire transfers using the app Zelle.
00:53:15.340 They're doing currency exchanges, and they also service a hotel down the street where you can get a hot shower.
00:53:23.720 So, you know, to answer the C's question.
00:53:26.080 Hey, guys, Ben, just hang on for one second.
00:53:28.180 Ben, we've got to take a short commercial break.
00:53:30.100 We're going to flip to the second hour.
00:53:31.520 You guys hang on.
00:53:32.260 We're going to come back to you in San Antonio, Texas.
00:53:35.740 The real victims here are the hard-working blue-collar Hispanic Americans, African Americans that are being crushed.
00:53:43.540 Like Molly Young says, we want their labor.
00:53:47.060 Short break.
00:53:48.500 Back in the warm-in-a-moment.
00:54:03.140 For war room veterans, you know we have been all over this supply chain issue with China.
00:54:09.120 China and medications and the active pharmaceutical ingredients.
00:54:14.660 China has a stranglehold on us where there's a way to break that.
