Which, frankly, I think makes their MAGA subversion escapades just all the worse.
00:00:06.040
Excellent assessment. Take over the show. Natalie, have a great couple hours. Talk to you again soon.
00:00:12.420
Eric Bolling, thank you so much. And Warren Posse, thank you for hanging with me today, Wednesday, May 7th, in the year of our Lord, 2025.
00:00:21.060
We have a probably enraging cold open that I want to roll for you.
00:00:24.340
I'll put a trigger warning. If you care about borders and sovereignty, you're probably not going to like this one very much. Let's roll it.
00:00:30.000
New surveillance videos showing immigration enforcement agents talking to management at the Millie's restaurant on Massachusetts Avenue Tuesday morning.
00:00:38.560
Millie's owner says agents asked to see I-9 forms.
00:00:41.940
It's very concerning. The employees are very scared. We're worried about some of them not coming back to work.
00:00:51.380
And just a general panic amongst the people that it affects.
00:00:56.440
Nearly a dozen law enforcement and immigration officials wearing DHS uniforms also walking into El Centro Restaurant in Georgetown.
00:01:05.740
Chef Jeff's Restaurant on New Mexico Avenue Northwest.
00:01:12.300
Again, wanting I-9 forms, which are employment verification forms used to make sure if employees are legally allowed to work in the United States.
00:01:20.500
This video showing what appears to be someone taken into custody.
00:01:25.380
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser saying D.C. police are not involved in the crackdown.
00:01:30.060
I have heard those reports. I've been getting them all morning. I am disturbed by them.
00:01:35.280
It appears that ICE is at restaurants or even in neighborhoods.
00:01:41.100
And it doesn't look like they're targeting criminals.
00:01:46.920
Immigration support organizations want to remind workers that they have a right to remain silent, don't sign any documents, and call an immigration attorney.
00:02:07.220
You're just not going to get a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:02:16.240
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:02:20.160
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:02:24.900
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:02:30.300
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:02:33.460
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:02:49.420
You're in the War Room here in Washington, D.C., where I guess something good, something pro-sovereignty, and no, no caveat for Ukraine necessary,
00:02:59.720
this time around happened for once in this city, and we're going to drill down on that ice raid that we saw go down.
00:03:08.220
A lot of interesting characters involved in that one, but frankly, because I think it is a sinisterly accurate microcosm
00:03:16.760
for what the ruling class of this country has done to what is supposedly their own country,
00:03:23.480
what they've done to us through the vertical of immigration, which, to summarize, maybe I'd quote Andrew Breitbart and say,
00:03:30.680
war, but of all forms, economic, cultural, kinetic, take your pick.
00:03:36.160
But last night, ICE agents raided a slew of D.C. restaurants.
00:03:44.480
I'm proud to say that I've never eaten there, nor will I.
00:03:50.920
It goes by the name of Chef Jeff's, which is a small chain of restaurants owned by the husband of, catch this,
00:04:04.360
The spouse of someone who has spent, what, decades on air, a taxpayer somehow subsidized, I'm sure,
00:04:12.280
propaganda mill telling you that you're a nativist and a racist for daring to question what is the great replacement theory.
00:04:20.660
Her husband is busy, I guess at least per ICE or DHS, probably, allegedly, hiring illegal aliens.
00:04:28.720
And my personal favorite part of this story is the way that the new republic decided to spin it.
00:04:35.640
Quote, is Trump now using ICE to take revenge on CBS?
00:04:44.300
An establishment is potentially caught using legal alien labor.
00:04:49.100
And the left-wing media's defense of it is that that's somehow President Trump weaponizing
00:04:56.560
immigration and customs enforcement to go after, frankly, a news outlet that probably deserves it.
00:05:05.780
I've probably seen no better example of what we call it in the media,
00:05:09.300
DARVO, the deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender.
00:05:13.800
However, sorry, new republic, it's not the restaurants or the illegal aliens that are the victims.
00:05:20.980
It's the American people and the American citizens who I'm sure would have loved to have had those jobs
00:05:25.940
or at least, at the very least, not had their wages depressed by the scam, the racket, and the fraud
00:05:34.820
And then it gets even better because the other restaurant that they targeted,
00:05:39.700
Jaleo, I think that's how you pronounce it, like I said, I've never been,
00:05:43.800
I don't really think the food is probably all that good.
00:05:47.740
I guess I like my cuisine prepared by citizens and not illegal aliens, call it an America first palette.
00:05:54.520
But this is a restaurant by Jose Andres, who not only was he recently bestowed the,
00:06:01.460
what was it, Presidential Medal of Freedom by Joe Biden,
00:06:04.760
but in 2022, he was appointed as Joe Biden's co-chair of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.
00:06:15.620
But here's where it gets really good, because President Obama actually made him the ambassador
00:06:25.020
Now, I would say that's quite ironic that his restaurant's getting raided for hiring illegal aliens,
00:06:33.420
but I think that's maybe just the self-fulfilling prophecy that is the way that elites have always viewed
00:06:39.700
citizenship, naturalization, immigration, and sovereignty,
00:06:43.720
which is, I guess, a corporate-subsidized or business-subsidized complete and utter destruction
00:06:52.180
So, I guess, Nora O'Donnell could not just lie to you every night on TV,
00:06:55.720
but her husband can have better profit margins at his restaurant
00:07:01.700
so he can hire illegal aliens from, I guess, Venezuela.
00:07:05.400
And speaking of Venezuela, this now gets very interesting,
00:07:10.920
and it's going to run all the way back to, you guessed it, Mark Zuckerberg.
00:07:18.640
I guess we can start the clock, because we're going to need an investigation on this as well,
00:07:23.940
but one of the groups that actually had advanced notice of these raids happening
00:07:28.980
is a group, a very radical group at that, by the name of Casa Maryland.
00:07:32.740
Now, we had exposed, I believe, last month on this show
00:07:36.620
that this organization has received at least $250,000 worth of funding
00:07:42.320
from Forward U.S., which is the group that Mark Zuckerberg co-founded,
00:07:47.220
one of the largest pro-open borders advocacy organizations that exists
00:07:54.120
But let's read the quote that they put out to their network of people
00:07:59.200
So I think DHS maybe needs to get to the bottom of who's leaking.
00:08:17.080
There, I fully endorse the use of polygraphs on that one.
00:08:24.000
you want to talk about the subversion of this country from start to finish,
00:08:27.580
from the border all the way to the interior of this country.
00:08:31.040
Casa Maryland has also received millions of dollars
00:08:34.320
from Venezuelan government-owned companies such as Citgo Petroleum.
00:08:44.140
The Venezuelan government is funding organizations that are preemptively letting illegal aliens know
00:08:49.980
that they may be deported by President Trump's ICE.
00:08:52.780
And I know we always say that we're on both sides of the trade when it comes to Middle East wars
00:09:00.300
but this even gets more interesting because Casa Maryland,
00:09:03.740
again, the group at the tip of the spear trying to avoid these illegals from getting deported,
00:09:08.280
well, they also receive millions of dollars in federal subsidies and contracts and grants.
00:09:13.360
Now, the funding is very dark money, is very clandestine, shall we say,
00:09:18.900
but certain reporting, even from the Washington Post all the way back in 2011,
00:09:23.000
noted that nearly half of their $6 million budget comes from local, state, and federal appropriations,
00:09:28.800
and all the way through 2017, they've received at least a million dollars from the DOJ and the Department of Labor.
00:09:38.220
And to make this whole story, I think, even more concerning,
00:09:41.760
and I'm going to use the word that I'm pretty sure Nora O'Donnell has probably told me
00:09:45.340
that I'm not allowed to use, and that's called the Enemy Within.
00:09:49.800
There's another group called the, get ready for this one,
00:09:58.460
It's basically, again, helping illegal aliens avoid deportation.
00:10:01.920
And you want to know how they conduct their fundraising operations?
00:10:06.640
They use a little platform that you've probably heard of called ActBlue.
00:10:14.080
The same organization that's, what, busy taking in foreign cash and smurfing donations
00:10:19.160
from American citizens to fund Democratic candidates,
00:10:22.660
and suddenly we have a very, very well-financed open border invasion.
00:10:26.400
I would humbly suggest that the DOJ look into that as well.
00:10:33.080
And I think the logical question to all this would be, well, where are the Republicans?
00:10:38.600
And I think you guys are the smartest audience that exists in all of this wonderful new media
00:10:45.100
And you would know that they're probably busy trying to sabotage President Trump's agenda.
00:10:49.340
I'm looking at you, Tom Tillis, when it comes to Ed Martin.
00:10:52.460
But someone who, I guess, really just has a penchant for getting it wrong and wrong and wrong,
00:10:57.920
or I guess maybe in his weird donor-funded worldview, getting it right on illegal immigration,
00:11:04.960
While this raid was going down, let's see what he was talking about,
00:11:07.860
why it's so important for due process to be had by illegal aliens in the United States.
00:11:12.460
What's been confusing on this is some people see due process like as an American citizen.
00:11:21.060
That's not true for due process for someone who's not a citizen in the United States.
00:11:26.480
It's often just literally what people call an immigration judge
00:11:29.760
is not a typical federal judge or a state judge.
00:11:32.840
This is someone that's in the bureaucracy that their task for DHS is that task on it.
00:11:38.140
So they're a government employee career that's an immigration judge.
00:11:44.020
But yes, there's a need to be able to give an opportunity for someone to be able to make an argument
00:11:50.740
Now, Senator Lankford, I know the phrase due process is apparently 50% of Washington, D.C.'s vocabulary right now.
00:11:58.380
But it's quite interesting to me because the same people who are now apoplectic
00:12:02.200
and melting down over due process for, I don't know, convicted rapists, illegal aliens,
00:12:06.680
yet where were you guys on calling for due process for, I don't know,
00:12:10.340
how many millions of Americans who were censored from every big tech platform,
00:12:19.760
America is in need of due process for people like, I don't know, the Jan Sixers,
00:12:25.080
people who protested outside abortion clinics and prayed the rosary.
00:12:30.900
As far as I'm concerned, all legal aliens need is processing.
00:12:34.100
It's sort of like to me when you hear them euphemize, what is it, you know,
00:12:44.240
That's the sort of whitewashed PR term that they use to make it more salient among the masses.
00:12:50.400
Essentially, I guess, just the whitewashing euphemism for saying,
00:12:54.160
hey, I don't think we're allowed to deport a bunch of people who essentially invaded this country.
00:12:58.520
Last time I checked, have you ever heard these people call for, I don't know,
00:13:13.360
But what happened to this country under Joe Biden, apparently, is not as bad.
00:13:19.500
So they now are, I guess, bestowed due process.
00:13:22.760
From countries where I'd love to see if the rule of law even exists
00:13:25.860
in a bunch of these third-world countries that these people are coming from,
00:13:32.960
that's apparently the other phrase that occupies the other 50% of their vocabulary.
00:13:37.320
Yeah, I'm going to push back on that at face value.
00:13:44.120
You get a trial with Judge Mershon as your judge,
00:13:48.760
off of your motivated political persecutions against President Trump,
00:13:52.960
or, I don't know, conveniently how Judge Boesberg seems to keep getting
00:13:56.060
every single case that's against President Trump.
00:14:04.900
The R word and the D word, due process and rule of law.
00:14:08.280
And by the way, these Republicans on the House side, too, they're equally bad.
00:14:12.440
They decided this week to cancel the vote that would have stripped the funding
00:14:15.520
that Doge found from USAID, I think we're talking upwards of $9 billion,
00:14:40.080
and make sure that you're actually implementing the MAGA agenda
00:14:42.440
because as far as I've seen, even if you started the clock just,
00:14:46.560
there's a lot of evidence that you guys aren't.
00:14:54.900
Explosive scoops, as you could probably guess, from Laura Loomer.
00:15:00.040
This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro,
00:15:10.460
are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar
00:15:18.840
As BRICS nations push forward with their plans,
00:15:23.780
bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.
00:15:26.960
While this transition won't not happen overnight,
00:15:38.860
from a theoretical possibility towards inevitable reality.

You know all the horrible, feckless Republicans
00:16:56.880
Someone, though, who I think is equally powerful
00:17:10.080
I want to read you a headline from The Bulwark,
00:17:12.300
which I don't typically unironically quote from,
00:17:22.680
with some of the more rhino establishment wings
