In the lead-up to the 2020 election, election officials across the country are dealing with increasing levels of disinformation and mis-and-denials about the results of the election. And in some cases, the information being spread about the election can have a direct impact on the work of election workers.
00:00:00.560Election workers, the vast majority of them women, say they're feeling vulnerable to the charged political climate surrounding the 2024 election.
00:00:08.60038% of the women staffing the polls say they've experienced threats, harassment, or abuse,
00:00:14.120fueling the violence, disinformation, and conspiracy theories following the 2020 election.
00:00:19.780Joining us now, Elizabeth Landers, lead correspondent for the Scripps News Disinformation Desk.
00:00:24.440And Liz, you traveled to Surrey County in North Carolina to really dig deep on this.
00:03:49.300It's going to have a long tail as we go into the 2024 election cycle.
00:03:52.720Thank you for tracking it, and thank you for bringing it to us.
00:03:55.080They're also facing concerns over how to protect the workers who will be overseeing the entire process.
00:04:01.920Nearly 40 percent of local election workers surveyed earlier this year reported facing threats or abuse.
00:04:08.300That's according to the Brennan Center for Justice.
00:04:10.700And now in Battleground, Georgia, local election officials in one Atlanta area county will be equipped with panic buttons to combat rising threats.
00:04:19.700This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:04:27.420Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.
00:05:25.680It's always the Saturday morning show, so I'm honored to be sitting in here giving you guys two hours of signal, not noise, and information warfare.
00:05:34.640The good kind, not the bad kind, the propaganda, the state-funded propaganda that you guys just watched coming from MSNBC.
00:05:41.980You guys know they're going hard with the narrative that MAGA is coming to intimidate and terrify election workers.
00:05:47.520This time they went with the sexism, feminist angle.
00:05:50.600I guess they've got to keep things interesting over on MSNBC when the numbers are nose-diving, so much so that they're buying panic buttons for election workers.
00:05:58.560But you guys know they're just laying the groundwork to add to election delays to say that President Trump is trying to steal the election because all these people deal in and peddle in is projection.
00:06:08.740Now, you guys know that we've been tracking what's going on in Georgia, particularly with that election board, although I'd be quick to add.
00:06:16.620You guys, I'm sure, heard two separate references.
00:06:19.540You guys know we're big on pattern recognition here in the war room.
00:06:21.860To the Brennan Center, providing the evidence for these bogus claims that MAGA is coming to steal the election.
00:06:28.280Fun fact about the Brennan Center, not just are they funded by George Soros because, of course, but they're also one of the clients of Judge Juan Mershon's daughter, Lauren Mershon, her nice swampy consulting firm.
00:06:39.580And, oh, that's right, they were also behind the push in Colorado to get President Trump removed from the ballot.
00:06:45.380No conspiracies, no coincidences there.
00:06:48.400No wonder why they think asking questions is a crime, as MSNBC said.
00:06:52.760But as you guys know, as we barrel towards November 5th, I don't think we're just dealing in terms of information warfare.
00:07:04.920And the left is intent on making sure that this election isn't about candidate quality or candidate choice, but it's about, frankly, how many ballots with a very poor chain of custody that they can certify.
00:07:18.280It's how Kamala Harris won her 2010 race, won for AG out in California.
00:07:22.840And Georgia, that election board that I'm sure you guys have heard about, really is ground zero for this fight.
00:07:27.900Now, I'm honored to bring on Liz Harrington, who I want you to sort of give us a summary, a conspectus of where we stand on that fight and why we'll get into it.
00:07:37.160But Stacey Abrams, these outside groups, are pouring in to pressure Brian Kemp, Governor Brian Kemp, to remove these MAGA election workers from that election board for daring to extend the certification timeline.
00:08:00.960And how do I know they're doing something right is because they've had to parachute in literally all the never Trumpers, all the D.C. far left lawyers.
00:08:12.300They're actually having to play defense in Georgia because people are doing the right thing.
00:08:18.280So what's happening at the Georgia State Election Board, it's funny, MSNBC doesn't feel the need to defend the females on the Georgia State Election Board who are coming under threat and under fire for simply wanting transparency and accountability over Georgia's elections, which we know are so corrupt.
00:08:37.640All that they have done on this election board, the three members, is pass these rules to simply reconcile the count.
00:08:49.420That is what they are so terrified of, to make sure that the votes equal the number of voters.
00:08:56.500There's a very important rule coming up, which is why there is so much pushback and collusion between the rhinos, the far left, and the fake news media descending upon Georgia is because there's an important rule where you would be required to hand count the paper ballots at the precinct level each day of voting to simply make sure that the numbers match the machines, right?
00:09:23.380Very simple, very simple, very simple, very simple, very simple, very simple, very simple, basic stuff, something that everybody should want, everybody should want the numbers to match.
00:09:31.580And, of course, there's so much pushback.
00:09:33.960So you're getting these never-Trumpers signing letters like the Hunter Biden is Russian disinformation, the 51 lying intel agencies.
00:09:43.120It's the same tactic they're trying to pressure Brian Kemp to go after and remove these members of the state election board totally illegally and illegitimately, by the way.
00:09:54.320The attorney general, who has refused to investigate 2020, even though he's been handed legitimate evidence of the duplicate ballots counted there recently that the state election board put forth.
00:10:08.280He even has given kind of Kemp an out in saying there's no real justification to hold a hearing just because Fulton County and the rhinos and Brad Raffensperger don't like what the state election board is doing by passing these common sense rules.
00:10:31.860Everybody should want the vote totals to match.
00:10:35.020Everybody should want the certification to be, quote, true and accurate.
00:10:39.640And that's all the state election board has done in passing these rules.
00:10:43.720You know we're over the target when they're wheeling out.
00:10:46.460Rachel Maddow to write op-eds for The Washington Post about how Georgia election workers are burning down democracy and infamous coup plotter Norm Eisen, I think, sort of got ahead of this Stacey Abrams group writing an op-ed for, I think it was the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, saying that Kemp needs to remove these workers.
00:11:02.860But War Room Posse, you guys know we are all about burning phone lines down here, metaphorically, of course, here in the War Room.
00:11:09.360So I want to play you Stacey Abrams' ad because we're going to do some cultural appropriation.
00:11:14.120We're going to take the phone number that they're calling, their approach to trying to bully and intimidate Kemp into removing these workers.
00:11:20.120We're going to give him a nice reminder this weekend and this week that you need to keep those election workers on there.
00:11:25.000So, Denver, let's roll the ad that Stacey Abrams' group, Fair Fight, put out.
00:11:29.120When they lose, mega-extremists say the election was rigged.
00:11:33.240But they're the ones doing the rigging, changing Georgia election rules in secret.
00:11:38.640It's a conspiracy that could help Trump.
00:11:41.200The Republican AG has called their actions illegal, and they're being sued for violating the law.
00:12:40.360That's all that they're doing, putting extra checks in place to make sure that the totals match.
00:12:45.600Making sure they've had other rules, trying to protect mail-in ballots to make sure that there's extra verification, to make sure that they're following state law.
00:13:21.960And you, I'm sure, have noted, Natalie, that they're trying to resurrect that whole hoax again because they know they can't win fair and square.
00:13:32.220That's why they have to oppose simple, basic reconciliation rules, because there's only one reason why you wouldn't want to check that the results are true and accurate, that you wouldn't want to let election boards actually look at what they're certifying,
00:13:48.100that you would oppose voter ID, and that you wouldn't want to make sure that the vote numbers match the machines.
00:14:35.760In the meantime, you guys can go to birchgold.com slash Bannon or text Bannon to 989898 to get the latest installment of The End of the Dollar Empire.
00:14:44.240Get in touch, get in contact with Philip Patrick and the team.
00:14:47.520I hear they're giving out free, cool, silver Trump coins with the fight, fight, fight iconic image on there if you talk to them before the election.
00:16:33.100We're not going to be overshadowed, and I guess no pun intended, by Stacey Abrams.
00:16:36.320We're joined now by Jenny Beth Martin of the wonderful Tea Party Patriots Group.
00:16:40.820Now, Jenny Beth, you are sort of the boots on the ground there with what's going on in Georgia.
00:16:44.660I'd love your perspective if you could kind of let the audience know what the fight's looking like down there.
00:16:50.820Well, regarding what we were just talking about with your last guest about what the attorney general and the governor did,
00:16:57.840I think that most of the activists who are extremely active in Georgia are not surprised that the governor found a way not to do anything
00:17:08.560and not to remove the members of the state election board, which I think is a good thing.
00:17:14.020But given the fact that he never called a special session to remove Fannie Willis or to potentially have her impeached
00:17:21.120or a special session back in 2020, his actions are consistent.
00:17:28.240And while we don't like the fact that he didn't do some of the other things,
00:17:31.940I'm glad that he did not become inconsistent and actively work against the state election board members.
00:17:37.720So he and he has consistently not consolidated power either.
00:17:43.820Sometimes I don't I don't know that he's exercising all the power he has,
00:17:47.760but he also hasn't tried to sweep up more power in the office of the governor,
00:17:52.280which could be used by Democrats later if precedents were set.
00:17:57.680So it's good that right now the state election board members are staying.
00:18:02.800The rules that they have made are in place now.
00:18:06.900The ones that they have approved that that had a majority vote.
00:18:10.760The Democrats and the liberal groups are suing over them.
00:18:14.500So there will be some lawfare going on with that.
00:18:17.920But but the rules and the fact that the state election board made these rules are in line with Georgia law.
00:18:25.460The board is allowed to propagate and is actually empowered to propagate the rules.
00:18:30.440So they are following the law to do so.
00:18:33.080And then the rules that they created also are related to sections of of the Georgia election code.
00:18:40.120So they're trying to just say, OK, this is a law.
00:18:42.660Now, how do we actually implement this?
00:18:44.720Practically speaking, that's what they're supposed to be doing.
00:18:48.500And so I think that even in legal challenges, the rules will hold up.
00:18:52.260And also counting the number of ballots to make sure that the physical number of paper ballots matches what's in the scanner, matches the number of voters that voted in a precinct.
00:19:04.680This isn't this isn't trying to rig an election is trying to make sure that at the end of the election, regardless of who wins, we can have confidence and faith in it.
00:19:14.680And I think that if people on both sides of the aisle just step back for a minute and think about what that rule does, we would want it no matter whether you're a Republican or a Democrat.
00:19:24.140I think I was told by Barack Obama that elections have consequences.
00:19:29.660Well, Democrats, these are the consequences of MAGA winning, taking over election boards.
00:19:34.660You guys always have sort of the grassroots push of what people can do if they want to get involved, take up, you know, a call to arms metaphorically, of course.
00:19:41.960But what are you guys working on now to make sure that Georgia elections are and stay secure?
00:19:46.860Well, it's very important that the people who are listening right now don't get discouraged by the things that you hear.
00:19:54.520Just let that be your motivation to take action.
00:19:57.960And right now, if you go to our website at MarchToVictory.com, our super PAC Tea Party Patriot Citizens Fund has all sorts of activities for you.
00:20:06.760One of the things that we have are postcards that you can fill out.
00:20:10.640We address the postcards for you so you don't have to hand address it.
00:20:14.060You just write a note to the voter and we even give sample messages for you to use for what to say to the voters.
00:20:40.780We've got poll watcher training specifically in Georgia, but we connect people with the people who are heading up election integrity efforts.
00:20:50.820Usually they're connected with the election integrity network, but they're those who are heading up those coalitions in other states.
00:20:57.880And on Sunday and Monday, we're launching our eight-week plan of action.
00:21:01.420So you can take action and pick different things to do every single week.
00:21:05.600We're focusing on different issues, working on messaging.
00:21:22.540Voting is beginning right now in North Carolina.
00:21:25.200And it also begins in Virginia in just another week or so.
00:21:29.500And we have to make sure that we don't let all this other stuff become a distraction.
00:21:34.520And we focus on the hard roll-up-your-sleeves, get-to-work things that must be done to make sure that we know who's planning to vote and that they actually go and cast the ballots.
00:21:46.040If we don't have enough people casting those ballots, we don't have any chance of winning.
00:21:51.400So we have to do that while the people who are attorneys and the people working on the election integrity coalitions, working on the rules in Georgia and the other efforts like that, they keep working on those things.
00:22:02.820And we work on helping with poll watching and then also getting out the vote.
00:22:08.540We're all about human agency here in the war room.
00:22:11.640But unfortunately, I think the left and their dark money allies are too, although I guess their issues are slightly more astroturfed.
00:22:18.700But there's an interesting piece that I saw that was put up last night on Democracy Docket, which is the kind of legal lawfare apparatus of Mark Elias' operation.
00:22:28.740Everyone who watches this show, I'm sure, is well aware of who Mark Elias is, sort of the tip of the spear when it comes to Democrats' lawfare machine, especially when it comes to election law.
00:22:37.720The story that they put up last night was, quote,
00:22:39.440They went through about 72 lawsuits thus far that have been filed by Republicans.
00:22:49.400Interesting buried lead, 51 of them coming from state and local parties, with just 14 coming from the RNC.
00:22:57.240Just putting that out there, a little bit of a buried lead, interesting.
00:23:01.800But they walk through what they determine the losses, the victories, or sort of the ties are on what is a total of around 300 election cases.
00:23:10.960Again, some of these being brought by outside groups.
00:23:13.940But they're identifying from their numbers that of those 290 voting rights cases, that 184 were victories for the Mark Eliases of the world.
00:23:28.860Now, look, I don't usually take Mark Elias at his word, but when it comes to their adjudication of certain legal decisions favoring the outcome of Democrats in elections, I think I'll take his word on that.
00:23:56.000No, I haven't read that assessment, so I'm speaking off the cuff here based on the summary that you just gave.
00:24:03.140But based on what I watch happen in 2020 and 2022 and what's happening right now, I know a couple of things.
00:24:09.980Sometimes when they're creating reports like this, they will create reports and include lawsuits with people who never had a chance of winning and are not actually representing an actual campaign or a party, whether it's a state, local or the RNC.
00:24:26.920So I think you have to just sort of take some of those out potentially because they may not even be ones that the candidates who have a stake in the election would be considering.
00:24:39.240The other thing to remember is that a lot of local and state election, I mean, not elections, but judges are elected.
00:24:48.520And oftentimes they're more left-leaning.
00:24:51.540So sometimes you may not win at the local level, but then it goes up to an appellate court or the state equivalent of the state Supreme Court and a different decision is made.
00:25:01.560So I would say that looking at the numbers, just based on what you're saying right now, I would just say you've got to dig really deep to understand what he's talking about and whether there really are wins or losses.
00:25:15.320And finally, our side has not been doing as much lawfare.
00:25:19.420I think that we kicked it up at the end of 2020.
00:25:22.960And so and we saw what happened once the election is over.
00:25:27.360It's very difficult to get a judge to take it up and overturn an election, though that did happen recently in Georgia with a Democrat election.
00:25:37.600And it was the right thing to do because there were so many issues with the election.
00:25:41.160But it's very difficult to make that happen.
00:25:44.320So what I think is that our attorneys are learning how to do this.
00:25:51.600We may not win every suit, but we will never win if we don't even try.
00:25:56.160And the RNC right now is working on that.
00:25:59.380That is one thing that Laura Trump and Michael Watley have brought to the table.
00:26:04.100And we've seen a lot more suits with them than we did previously.
00:26:08.380We may not win all of them, but I know this.
00:26:11.100If we don't even try, we never have the opportunity to win.
00:26:14.260And I'm glad that we've got more suits happening.
00:26:16.800I'd like to make sure that the questions that courts need to settle are settled well before voting begins.
00:26:24.840Once voting begins and once the elections are certified, it's so difficult to get a court to do anything, even if they should be doing things.
00:26:32.800It's very difficult to get them to act.
00:26:34.740Jenny Beth Martin, one more time, if people want to engage with your call to action, where can they go to do that?
00:26:42.020And what would your just quick 20-second kind of punchline be if they want to call Governor Kemp?
00:26:46.360The call to action, or the website is marchtovictory.com, marchtovictory.com.
00:26:55.000And if you're calling Governor Kemp right now, I would say thanks for making sure that the people who are on the state election board stay on the state election board.
00:27:05.300Let them keep working and doing the job that they're doing because they're going to make us have more faith in the outcome of the elections with the rules they are creating.
00:29:08.300Welcome back to The War Room, where apparently Democrats are so keen on auditing votes in their chain of custody.
00:29:25.940Though I guess they don't extend those same privileges or lack thereof when it comes to anything related to Ukraine aid.
00:29:30.900The government accountability office putting out a report just two days ago saying that we actually have no meaningful ability to audit whether or not these Ukraine aid packages are actually making it to Ukraine.
00:29:41.360So I guess naturally the Biden regime would then, the day after, quite literally 24 hours later, issue a new $250 million aid package to Ukraine.
00:29:52.140No offense, but I'd humbly posit that with all the billions of dollars that you guys have received from us, from our taxpayer dollars, maybe you guys should get a better graphic designer.
00:30:01.040I don't know, maybe a Canva premium subscription.
00:30:15.500Probably not too great, especially when, like we always do here in the war, and we're drawing juxtapositions between propping up the security defense forces in Ukraine, so much so that we actually give money to the Ukraine state border guard.
00:30:28.580Meanwhile, our southern border is wide open.
00:30:31.440But you don't even have to go that far south to the border to actually see how criminal elements, in this case Venezuelan gangs, are actually taking over parts of the United States.
00:30:42.140Now, the best, with weapons of war, not the kind of weapons of war that Tim Walz claims to have carried, but actual huge guns and really scary things that I think the so-called families that are living in that apartment complex probably don't want to see.
00:30:56.060That's probably not what the American dream is to most people.
00:30:59.240But the best part about this whole story is that the mainstream media actually has the nerve to try to cover for the Venezuelan gangs.
00:31:08.060I know we're used to them running cover for illegal aliens, but in this case, that's the CBS story.
00:31:13.460Some Aurora residents claim Venezuelan gang narrative in Denver metro area is false.
00:31:20.900I don't see those people being quoted, and it's actually funny.
00:31:23.460If you read the article and go through it, they tacitly admit that the police units in Aurora, Colorado, have actually had to launch myriad of special investigations into criminal gang activity being carried out by Venezuelans in the city.
00:31:36.800But the even better article, this one's really going to make you mad.
00:31:43.160Colorado apartment residents fight anti-immigrant misinformation amid viral video of armed men.
00:31:52.800Now, you know it wouldn't be a Huffington Post article if they didn't have the word misinformation in there and anti-immigrant.
00:31:58.700But now, apparently, if you oppose Venezuelan gangs taking over United States property, that now makes you anti-immigrant and a purveyor of misinformation.
00:32:10.280We've seen that slippery slope before.
00:32:21.280There was a city council meeting in Alabama that just happened yesterday where residents, I'm sure in part scared because of what they saw going on in Colorado, went to their city council members asking about a recent influx of Haitian immigrants undocumented.
00:32:37.160At that, they went in there asking if they had any idea who these people were.
00:32:40.920Of course, coming from a third world country that is basically a failed state that's actually being run by criminal gangs now.
00:32:47.960Maybe they're a little more in front about the deterioration of democracy and freedom there.
00:32:52.520But they were actually shut down, so much so that they called the city council meeting to an abrupt close.
00:32:58.380Of course, the people who were there were accused of being racist because, of course.
00:33:03.680What happens in Joe Biden's America when you want to get answers about unvetted illegal aliens from criminal nations flooding this country, flooding your communities?
00:33:13.580If you want to ask, hey, what the heck are these people doing here?
00:33:16.940You're going to get shut down and called a racist.
00:34:14.060Because you're treating them like lawful U.S. citizens, which they are not.
00:34:18.600Okay, so I'm going to cut it off because we've had three people to come up.
00:34:22.460I'm going to cut it off because we have no reason, again, we have no reason to watch an investigation or to treat people differently because of how they look.
00:34:53.500Their president was assassinated in 2021.
00:34:56.920There is no way the State Department can bet these individuals.
00:34:59.540That's the legacy of mass migration, legal and illegal.
00:35:14.700I know you're not allowed to say the G phrase, the great replacement theory, but it's true.
00:35:19.500And when you pull the curtain back on just who is behind that, it's not a pretty picture, whether it's the most far-left radical elements of the Democratic Party and their dark money funders, the same dark money donors who are funding those radical college protests, the protests outside the DNC that are explicit in their efforts to burn America to the ground, sometimes literally trying to do that.
00:35:42.240And, of course, they got their establishment, rhino Republican factions, joining them in that crusade.
00:35:47.600But that is the reality of the lived experience of American people when you see mass migration coming, all the way to Alabama, members of Haitian gangs probably.
00:35:58.100But they say, oh, well, they're working.
00:36:00.260They're sitting there on street corners in broad daylight, but they're working.
00:36:04.680Yeah, I don't really think that's quite true either, although I guess even if you take them at their word, there's interesting numbers coming out from the Bureau of Labor just yesterday.
00:36:13.240This is why, when I say the Great Replacement Theory, and I'm sure Media Matters will clip it and say it's a conspiracy theory.
00:36:19.920Let's look on the screen, that graph right there.
00:36:22.280Just new numbers from the Biden regime coming out.
00:36:25.000In the month of August alone, 635,000 new jobs for foreign-born workers and a net loss, not gain loss, of 1.325 million jobs for native-born Americans in the month of August.
00:36:43.580That right there, these people are going to take your job, and if you dare to even question it or go to your own city council meeting where it's your tax dollars that are funding their salaries, funding that building,
00:36:56.940they're more inclined to protect the people who didn't even pay tax dollars to pay their salaries or prop up that meeting because they're not even American citizens.
00:37:05.380This is the reality of the Great Replacement Theory, and I don't know about you guys, but I would take Making America Great Again over that lived experience of the Great Replacement Theory any day of the year, especially on November 5th.
00:37:27.700And you know what? For all those hundreds of millions, total billions of dollars that we've given to Ukraine that we can't even audit, which, by the way, the Biden regime lies to our face,
00:37:37.920and their messaging narrative on that now is that actually Ukraine aid is actually great for the United States because it helps prop up our industrial base.
00:37:47.980Yet that's about the same BS logic that illegal immigration is good for the average American.
00:37:53.440Yet not quite, and we're not falling for it, not just because the actual statistics,
00:37:57.420not misinformation, disprove that, but it's patently false.
00:38:02.880These are the lies that we're up against.
00:38:05.200The nerve of these people, I mean, you watch that video, I don't know how you can't be absolutely, just absolutely enraged.
00:38:12.420I would say all that money that we've given to Ukraine, why don't we start with that $250 million aid package?
00:38:17.920I would literally rather give that to the landlord of that Colorado apartment to safeguard that apartment complex from Venezuelan gangs than I would give another penny, another cent to the oligarchic warlords who have done absolutely nothing with any of those funds,
00:38:36.180except probably by yachts, by their wife's new frickin' cosmetic treatments over in Ukraine.
00:38:43.860And by the way, in the same breath, the Biden regime is going to put out a press release celebrating the fact that they secured the release of 135 political prisoners who dared to submit freedom of expression down in Nicaragua,
00:38:55.580the same day that they're sentencing grandmas and the most hardcore patriots that exist in this country, to basically life sentences in prison for daring to question the results of the 2020 election.
00:39:21.460I'd say it's probably $125,000 every month, but that Biden maintains that he will keep into the fiscal year 2025, and already passed that number in 2024.
00:39:32.300But the buried lead in this Reuters article, which we'll have Todd Benzman on to discuss now,
00:39:36.180is that they basically say that this signals that under Kamala Harris, they're probably going to even increase that cap and have it go even further.
00:39:43.320Todd, I'd love to just kind of get your assessment of these just continued absolutely astronomical numbers
00:39:49.060that continue to come out of the Biden regime when it comes to legal, illegal, whatever spin you want of migrants pouring into this country.
00:39:56.960Let me just address the refugee cap issue really quickly, because a few weeks back, I published a report about what's really behind that.
00:40:06.420The Biden administration has another scheme underway ramping up, started really ramping up this spring of this year,
00:40:17.480where they are refugee-izing economic migrants throughout Latin America.
00:40:23.720And what I mean by refugee-izing is that they are applying refugee status on countries and people that they've never given refugee status to in decades.
00:40:38.320We just don't give refugee status to Venezuelans, Cubans, Haitians, and Nicaraguans.
00:40:46.440So what they're doing is, it's a way to, when you give somebody refugee status down there,
00:40:53.300then you can fly them in at taxpayer expense, their legal permanent residence right away.
00:40:59.040They've already done this with tens of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Ecuadorans, and Colombians, and Guatemalans, even.
00:41:11.000And those ones are flown in at U.S. taxpayer-backed expense in the form of travel loans.
00:41:21.300Whole families can board a commercial flight on a travel loan backed by U.S. State Department funds.
00:41:27.780There's no interest and there's no penalty for not paying it back.
00:41:31.800So, you know, that's just kind of giveaway.
00:41:37.100And what the administration, the current administration, the finishing administration did was they raised the refugee cap to 125,000 in order to accommodate this vast hundreds of percentage points increase in granting refugee status in Latin America.
00:41:58.280We normally give refugee status to people that are, like, in war zones in the Congo or in Syria.
00:42:09.420That's who we reserve that for, not economic migrants.
00:42:13.200We're doing that in a huge way and nobody can see it.
00:42:16.500It's another invisible illegal immigration program, except that this one is actually legal.
00:42:23.300Todd, if you can hang with us through the break, because I know you've got a new exclusive story about the Darien Gap that you want to break, but War and Posse, make sure you stay tuned for that.
00:42:34.020But in the meantime, make sure you check out hometitlelock.com and use promo code BAN.
00:42:38.200And I feel like I could definitely make a good metaphor when it comes to every town being a border town or lack of border security, how you need to secure your house, your home, everything.
00:42:46.780That's so tied up in that against hackers and maybe even Venezuelan gangs or Haitian criminals, you name it.
00:42:55.340I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money in our bank accounts.
00:43:00.600First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:43:05.120This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet.
00:43:12.600Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:43:26.680In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move.
00:43:34.080If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:43:45.100I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:43:50.620Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.
00:44:02.940Watch Jim's warning video now, before it's censored like I've been in the past.
00:44:08.720Go to RickardsWarRoom.com. That's RickardsWarRoom.com. Now, to see the video.
00:44:14.960War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Banff.
00:44:24.360Welcome back to The War Room, where we're still joined by Todd Benzman.
00:44:28.180Todd, you're getting ready to drop a new story about the intricacies of the Darien Gap and how the Biden regime is interfering not to protect America's borders or sovereignty, because of course, but to basically make the country less safe and secure.
00:44:43.900Can you walk the audience through the story you're getting ready to release?
00:44:46.220Sure. Well, I just came back from two weeks down there, one week on the Colombian side of the Darien Gap, the entry points, and another week on the exit points in Panama.
00:44:58.600And the reason I went down there is because the Panamanians have elected themselves a new president who promised to close the Darien Gap.
00:45:07.780This is absolutely unprecedented, major policy U-turn with massive implications for our border and our national security interests.
00:45:17.520I want to see how things were going down there.
00:45:20.640The Panamanians wasted no time on July 1 setting the table, getting things ready for mass air repatriation flights that they had a deal.
00:45:31.620They cut a deal with on that on inauguration day with the Mayorkas DHS to pay for these repatriation flights.
00:46:56.080And the Panamanians are starting to do a couple of flights here and there, but nobody cares if they send one or two flights full of criminal aliens back to Colombia because the people that you have to deter are not criminal aliens.
00:47:18.900I have a major report that is due out Monday morning at CIS.org.
00:47:25.080My full findings from my trip down there.
00:47:30.080Todd Benzman, if people want to follow you, get that report, stay up to date with everything you're working on, where can they go to do all that?
00:47:37.140Yeah, I work for the Center for Immigration Studies, CIS.org.
00:47:42.660You can find all of my reporting from Darion there.
00:47:47.040And if you want to follow me on social media, the best way is ToddBenzman.com.
00:47:53.040I have a newsletter, a free newsletter.
00:47:56.320Every time I publish something, I send that out and alert people.
00:48:00.660You can sign up for that on my website, ToddBenzman.com.
00:48:04.260Plus, all my social media can be found there, too.
00:48:32.500But I'd actually go a step further, my humble suggestion.
00:48:35.540I don't think it's mass deportations now.
00:48:38.140I think it's mass deportations yesterday.
00:48:40.820And maybe we could put those signs on the windows of the buses that we're going to use for the mass deportations of all these illegal criminal aliens as they're leaving this country.
00:48:50.360And I think we should come for the Dreamers, too.
00:48:54.160You can clip that, MSNBC, and you can shove it.
00:48:57.560Just a fun fact, and we'll also add this to the things that MSNBC can shove it on.
00:49:01.980So I'm sure you guys have heard by now of the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.
00:49:05.540I was going to say 2.0, but it's more like 99.0, how they've re-upped that.
00:49:10.500We're going to have Norban Laden and Sam Faddis with us in the second hour of the show to kind of walk through all that, how NATO is actually involved, too.
00:49:17.360But I just want to set an interesting kind of narrative precedent here.
00:49:21.140There was a new report that came out just yesterday from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
00:49:27.800Now, in that, there was a quote that said,
00:49:29.940To date, the IC has not observed any foreign actor seeking to interfere in the conduct of the 2024 elections.
00:49:41.640Quite literally the same day, you have FBI Director Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland and the whole band of useful idiots saying that Russia is, you know, coming for a democracy with a fear and a tenacity that we haven't seen since 2016.
00:49:59.000Now, I think they either need to get their messaging right, but frankly, to me, this, to me, bears all the hallmarks, which you guys know, this always has been an actual disinformation campaign.
00:50:07.840Not the kind of disinformation campaign that they say Hunter Biden's hard drive was, but it's very interesting because while the IC, while the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is saying that in a codified report, right, 60 days out from the election, you have members of the intel community leaking, holding 75-minute secret press briefings with outlets like USA Today titled, with the articles ultimately coming out of those briefings,
00:50:35.620Russia ramping up election meddling efforts to help Trump beat Harris, intel officials say, quote,
00:50:41.740The briefing marks one of the first times, if not the first, that U.S. intelligence officials have explicitly said Russian President Vladimir Putin was trying to get Trump elected in the current election cycle after allegedly backing him in 2016 and 2020.
00:50:57.380Now, my point being here, these narratives don't square.
00:51:01.540Now, not that I would ever take anything that the ODNI or that any IC anonymous source leaking, let alone to USA Today, would say is gold.
00:51:09.260But these sort of incongruence, right, between these narratives, I think means that something is very up with how they're sort of beta testing and in some ways almost microdosing these foreign election interference narratives on the American people, right?
00:51:22.860They don't have their story straight, yet they're going balls to the wall, saying that Russia is coming up, coming out, trying to influence the 2024 election in the same breath, in the same news cycle that very day.
00:51:34.860You have Putin on record, not a deep fake, not AI, actually saying that if he backs anyone, it's Harris.
00:51:41.800But our intellectual betters, the experts that we should totally trust on everything, including public health and the origins of COVID, while they say that that was actually Putin making a joke, didn't know they had such inside channels with the Kremlin, maybe that's some foreign election interference that we should probe.
00:52:00.800But I always posit that we should start with Tim Walts if we're actually worried about foreign election interference, but I guess it doesn't matter if it's the Chinese Communist Party.
00:52:09.460Norbin Laden, after the break, on how NATO is involved in all this, too.
00:53:44.200I'm one of the co-creators of Sacred Human.
00:53:45.880And I wanted to share just a little bit more about our brand for those who may not know of us yet.
00:53:50.700But about six months ago, we decided to launch Sacred Human with really the simple mission being to provide American-made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense.
00:54:01.900So unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health.
00:54:11.980So that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap with quality supplements.
00:54:17.740And of course, the beef liver being our flagship products.
00:54:20.840For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.
00:54:29.700And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general.
00:54:42.900So we have some other amazing products.
00:54:44.960But if you'd like to check us out, you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com.
