Transcript
00:00:00.000
I am thrilled to report that the U.S. Space Command headquarters will move to the beautiful
00:00:07.300
locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama, forever to be known from this point forward as
00:00:16.260
Rocket City. Okay, so Huntsville, Alabama, we love Alabama. I only won it by about 47 points.
00:00:24.240
I don't think that influenced my decision, though, right? That didn't, right? When you come out and
00:00:30.320
when you leave the room, you'll see that we just, over the last few minutes, literally shot out a
00:00:36.640
boat, a drug-carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat. And you'll be seeing that and you'll be
00:00:44.100
reading about that. It just happened moments ago. And our great general, head of the Joint Chiefs of
00:00:52.320
Staff, who's been so incredible, including what took place in Iran, knocking out potential nuclear
00:01:02.080
power for a long time to come. I think within a month they would have had it if we didn't do what
00:01:06.600
we did. But he gave us a little bit of a briefing. And you'll see. And there's more where that came
00:01:13.620
from. We have a lot of drugs pouring into our country, coming in for a long time. And we just,
00:01:19.820
these came out of Venezuela and coming out very heavily from Venezuela. A lot of things are coming
00:01:25.040
out of Venezuela. So we took it out. And you'll get to see that after this, after this meeting is
00:01:32.240
over. And I know people don't like us, even a year in, as a government, saying, this is what we
00:01:37.280
inherited. This is what we inherited, right? There was a widespread use of asylum hotels by the
00:01:43.880
Conservatives. That increased enormously, at enormous cost. Yeah, you keep going back to the
00:01:48.000
Conservatives. And it won't be a quick fix. We will sort it. Your lawyers, under your guidance, have said
00:01:55.080
in terms that the rights of asylum seekers are more important than the rights of local people in
00:02:02.760
Epping Forest. Would you at least acknowledge that that is what they will hear? And I, it's not,
00:02:11.760
it's up to you. Ministers can say, we agree with that, or we don't agree with it. You can't simply
00:02:17.740
say, let's balance things. Do you agree with what your lawyers said, or don't you?
00:02:53.040
Mega Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:02:59.740
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country,
00:03:06.700
this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:03:13.040
You're in the War Room. It's Tuesday, September 2nd in the year of our Lord, 2025. It's Natalie
00:03:24.080
Winters hosting on yet another historic day. So much going down at the White House. I guess,
00:03:30.740
sorry to all the Democrat haters, President Trump is indeed not dead. In fact, they are delivering not
00:03:36.460
just on promises, but I think going very above and beyond, whether it's everything going on in
00:03:43.420
Venezuela, moving space wars, we're going to get into all of it. But I want to start with where we
00:03:48.000
concluded our cold and nice juxtaposition, shall we say, what's going on in the UK. Anytime we seem,
00:03:56.980
I guess, nowadays to talk about what's going on over there, it always has to do with censorship and
00:04:01.840
suppression of speech. And there's no better person to break that down than the one, only Mike
00:04:06.200
Benz, who joins us now. Now, Mike, before we get into what exactly that GB News clip was discussing,
00:04:13.060
I want to start with what I think might even be more insane. It's wild. The arrest of a comedian
00:04:20.020
over transphobic posts. I think when we joked about that, we were called crazy conspiracy theorists.
00:04:25.360
Can you sort of walk us through this whole incident from start to finish?
00:04:28.080
Well, this story is so insane, it may actually be a kind of tipping point in the free speech fight
00:04:36.200
in Europe. Graham Linehan is an award-winning comedy writer. He wrote Father Ted and a bunch of other
00:04:44.760
sitcom series. He's a pretty famous guy. He took a trip to Arizona from the UK, and he tweeted
00:04:54.300
about three comedic tweets on X about transgender and gender issues. And when he returned to Heathrow
00:05:05.120
Airport in London, he was met by five armed police officers who immediately took him effectively off
00:05:13.500
the tarmac into state custody. And he is now facing prison over the tweets that he made in the US,
00:05:25.100
making fun of transgender people. And the one condition of his bail was that he, so he's allowed
00:05:34.220
to essentially, you know, his bail condition was that he's not allowed to post on X. So the only reason
00:05:42.160
that he is not remaining in custody awaiting trial where he will surely face this kangaroo court in the
00:05:50.820
monstrosity of the UK judicial system under these hate speech laws. So the only way that he was
00:05:57.840
essentially allowed to spend his remaining days of freedom until his trial, not in a prison cell,
00:06:05.960
was by agreeing not to have a social media account, not to post on X. So essentially it falls to the
00:06:12.480
rest of the world to tell Graham Linehan's story because the UK state is so afraid of his Twitter
00:06:19.200
account that if he tweets, his bail will be revoked and he'll be immediately in jail. So this is kind of
00:06:27.120
the worst case scenario come to pass. He made these tweets while in the United States. These tweets
00:06:33.860
were completely banal. They were making fun of the mental instability of many folks in the trans
00:06:41.000
community with the kind of comedic punch him in the balls punchline to one of the tweets.
00:06:47.160
This is the sort of thing, and he's a comedian and a high profile one. I mean, this is very clearly a
00:06:53.960
message from the British state that if you challenge the system in any way, however light, however comedic
00:07:02.080
or satirical, there is no quarter, you will be immediately rolled up by the police. The UK now
00:07:08.520
has over 30 arrests for online speech a day. The estimate was 12,000 a year people arrested for
00:07:15.400
their tweets in the UK based on a Times report from April. That is, I think, something like 30 to 50
00:07:24.740
times more than the amount of people that get arrested in Russia for online speech. They are
00:07:33.120
truly the world's new North Korea. And I think the entire US-UK special relationship has to be
00:07:39.740
immediately renegotiated because this is a tyrannical hellhole state who is trying to export
00:07:45.960
their censorship here. I have to add one more thing, and I think that we discussed this last week.
00:07:50.480
The British government is also fining American tech companies, American social media companies
00:07:55.800
like 4chan for not censoring what the British state wants, while these are American websites
00:08:02.900
hosted in America, run by Americans. So this is like no taxation without representation
00:08:10.260
all over again. They're trying to tax us from abroad. They're trying to arrest people who visit the
00:08:16.920
United States and make speech in the United States the moment they return back to the UK.
00:08:21.160
I think all negotiations have to be ground to an immediate halt until we can figure out what the
00:08:26.760
hell is going on in the UK. Now, if I'm not mistaken, I feel like I've had you on a lot of times these
00:08:33.400
past few months to talk about what seemed to be the progress that the Trump administration,
00:08:38.140
particularly Vice President Vance, was making when it came to negotiating with the UK over a lot of
00:08:43.580
the censorship stuff, not just against their own people, but like you said, more concerningly,
00:08:48.200
Americans, or at least speech that's done on American soil. So where do we stand with all of
00:08:53.680
that? Was a lot of that just performative, or what are the forces that are sort of dragging from the
00:08:58.720
pits of censorship hell, the UK back into what they were doing before?
00:09:03.520
Well, there was some initial success with getting a delayed enforcement of their online censorship act.
00:09:10.200
It's called the Online Harms Act, but it's the Digital Censorship Act. Its implementation was
00:09:14.860
delayed because of tariff threats by the Trump administration, but it ultimately ended up going
00:09:19.760
through and is being enforced now. Really, we're kind of in month two of its very serious enforcement.
00:09:27.460
And right now, to me, this gets back to the question of the US-UK special relationship and
00:09:34.840
what needs to be done in order to actually grind this to a halt. The fact is, is the British use
00:09:41.400
the Americans for their war in Ukraine, for their wars in Afghanistan, for their wars in Africa.
00:09:48.020
There are British mining interests, British banking interests that are completely dependent on US
00:09:54.480
manpower, US muscle. NATO itself is best conceptualized as a British operation. I mean,
00:10:02.220
this was famously, Lord Esme, the first head of NATO famously quipped, NATO's purpose is to keep
00:10:11.040
the Americans in, the Russians out, and the Germans down. That presupposes it's a British operation
00:10:19.280
to use American muscle and American money to accomplish British aims. Enough of this. I think that it is a
00:10:27.280
mistake, frankly, for President Trump to campaign on getting all these countries to give more and
00:10:33.700
more money to NATO when we're effectively giving it to British military operations. I understand that
00:10:41.180
there are political constraints, and he needs to keep a big tent. So obviously, the president will do
00:10:45.940
what the president does. But I can't help but point out that every dollar you're giving to NATO is going
00:10:51.160
to help a British banker. That's going to mean more Christopher Steele's running operations here in the US.
00:10:57.000
They're host to all of our censors in exile, the Marina, the Nina Jankovitz type. So they've all fled to these
00:11:06.100
UK NGOs and are working with the UK government. We saw the Biden administration working directly with the UK
00:11:13.740
foreign office and the UK digital ministry in order to do joint US-UK censorship work.
00:11:20.440
This is getting way, we're way past way too far already. And there has been this protected bind,
00:11:28.420
this kind of cocoon of warmth between the US and UK since effectively World War I, World War II.
00:11:38.420
And there's been an entangling of our intelligence networks, famously NSA and GCHQ, CIA and MI6. All
00:11:48.960
these networks are hopelessly intertwined. And there needs to begin to be this unentanglement,
00:11:55.840
this disentanglement, because the message has to be sent. If we don't stop them from taxing our tech
00:12:03.560
companies and taxing our speech and arresting people who speak there, speak here the moment
00:12:08.880
they go over there, then, I mean, they're taking more aggressive action against us than China is.
00:12:19.040
Just give me a few minutes. You talked about how the Biden regime was very involved with a lot of
00:12:23.480
this. Have you seen any of these people sort of enter this back via these NGOs that you were
00:12:28.340
talking about or are still involved in this, not through the government purview, but more through
00:12:33.160
the sort of, you know, private sector capacity? Absolutely. I'll give you an example. The Super
00:12:40.780
Bowl of censorship planning every year is kind of a tie between the Atlanta Council 360 Conference
00:12:47.660
and the University of Cambridge Disinformation Summit. The University of Cambridge, I cannot tell
00:12:53.820
you how many USAID funds, how, what proportion of British NGOs and British universities are funded
00:13:04.720
by U.S. State Department and U.S. USAID money, as well as DARPA grants and the like. We export so much
00:13:12.460
of these development funds to British institutions. I don't think a single dollar should go to the
00:13:18.440
University of Cambridge. A single dollar should go to the London School of Economics. A single
00:13:23.040
dollar should go to King's College London. Every dollar of investment in London, in Cambridge,
00:13:32.480
in, frankly, the British tyrannical government state has to be re-evaluated by this State Department,
00:13:41.020
by this Defense Department, by the development agencies and bureaus that still remain
00:13:47.440
until this entire relationship is renegotiated. They are punching us square in the face with these
00:13:55.820
censorship laws. They are robbing American tech companies of our money. They're robbing our social
00:14:01.180
media companies of our money. They're robbing American taxpayers of our money with every dollar that we
00:14:08.120
invest. It's time to punch back, and they need our money. They can't win their wars without our money.
00:14:15.040
They don't get their mining deals in Eritrea or Afghanistan or Ukraine without our money.
00:14:21.440
Let's see six months of them getting donuts and see what they look like at the negotiating table
00:14:26.540
after that. Mike Benz, there is yet another scandal that we have to get into after the break,
00:14:32.680
so I'd appreciate you hanging with me. This one's even crazier, I guess, at the intersection of
00:14:37.960
speech migrant rights and your tax dollars subsidizing, I guess, their better lifestyles
00:14:44.100
than yours. That one also hits close to home here in the United States. We've got Mike Benz,
00:14:48.700
Reagan Reese, who is hot off a wonderful interview with President Trump and Representative Mary Miller
00:14:53.940
on the latest going on in Chicago. We'll be right back. More Mike Benz after the break.
00:14:57.640
This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the bloc of emerging
00:15:05.980
superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing
00:15:12.740
the United States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio Reset. As BRICS
00:15:19.520
nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing
00:15:24.220
down the value of the dollar in your savings. While this transition won't not happen overnight,
00:15:30.740
but trust me, it's going to start in Rio. The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment
00:15:36.560
when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

that's Bannon to 989898. Welcome back to the War Room. We still have Mike Benz with us.
00:18:05.920
Now, Mike, I want to sort of blend this into yet another, I think, just wild double standard
00:18:12.280
when it comes to not just the housing of refugees, but the treatment of protesters, people
00:18:17.200
burning flags. I know that's been outlawed here in the United States, but when you juxtapose that
00:18:21.380
in the UK with what a lot of these, you know, Palestinian and Hamas demonstrators are allowed
00:18:25.440
to do, it's quite an interesting and telling double standard, I think. But can you walk us through
00:18:30.320
what is going on in Epping with regards to the housing of migrants?
00:18:35.880
Well, it's an extraordinary story. You have this essentially, you know, peaceful town that was
00:18:43.920
essentially invaded by a hotel was effectively bribed with tens of millions of dollars by the
00:18:52.760
British state to house migrants from Afghanistan and Eritrea and the like. You know, these are war-torn
00:19:01.520
conflict zones. And so this, you know, peaceful little picturesque town has been completely
00:19:08.400
overrun with this war refugee problem. And the people were up in arms about it. They passed a
00:19:17.320
resolution to try to basically block the hotel from housing these people. And you know how this
00:19:24.620
goes. They do the same thing here in New York and San Francisco. They get these very nice hotels. They
00:19:30.380
give war refugees who are serving the CIA or MI6. They're sending remittances back to their families. So
00:19:37.500
it's effectively USAID funding. And so the more free stuff the taxpayers give them, the more that taxpayer
00:19:44.220
money ends up in remittance payments back to these shadow CIA MI6 networks in war-torn Eritrea or
00:19:53.100
Afghanistan or Sudan. And that's what you'll see. The demographics are all in these CIA conflict
00:19:59.100
zones. And then this is effectively one of these bargaining chips that the foreign policy establishment
00:20:04.340
has with these populations. If you guys go to war for us, if you do favors for us, if you give us
00:20:09.780
local protection, we'll bring your families over. And, you know, none of the people making those
00:20:14.800
policies live near these war refugees, are afflicted by these mass incidences of rape and sexual assault
00:20:23.160
or crime. They impose them on essentially the lower middle class. And it completely destroys the towns and
00:20:31.840
cities and villages they live in. But what happened was effectively a judge overturned the people's
00:20:38.700
will and imposed the migrant, you know, the war refugee hellscape on the city of Epping. And this has
00:20:48.520
caused effectively a revolt online to the extent that it's legal to do so. It's mostly being led,
00:20:56.160
frankly, by a few brave souls in the UK, combined with Elon Musk and other American allied, like-minded
00:21:06.720
folks who believe in free speech. And so you've seen the English flag has been trending on X. There
00:21:13.760
has been a big move to support the advance party in the UK by Elon. This is the sort of alternative to
00:21:21.600
Nigel Farage's reform party. I think what Elon and Tommy Robinson and the like have been saying is that
00:21:29.360
Nigel Farage is not going far enough in sticking up for British freedom and sticking up for the British
00:21:36.240
people. There have been some reports that deputies in the reform party are being sacked or being told
00:21:43.520
not to retweet Tommy Robinson and the like. So there's kind of a little bit of a civil war on the populist
00:21:49.360
right. And there's, you know, now kind of the beginnings of a serious movement to try to put
00:21:56.160
a party forward who is neither Tory nor Labour in the UK as both of those parties are as captured here
00:22:03.120
as the pre-Trump Coke and Pepsi, you know, George Bush, Bill Clinton choice that you had for the past
00:22:11.920
25 years in this country before Trump. Mike, I'm just curious, the ramifications here in the United States,
00:22:21.200
you always talk about how they're sort of the same actors that are that are pushing for this. Obviously,
00:22:26.080
the Biden regime, there is more collaboration there. But what do you think the takeaway should be for us here?
00:22:30.720
Kill every dollar of funding to the city of London. They're big boys. They have big banks.
00:22:39.120
They'll be all right. A message has to be sent. We will know the right thing is being done from
00:22:46.320
this State Department in this White House. When there's a when there is a screaming headline about
00:22:52.320
how upset the UK ambassador to the US is about the state of negotiations and the pullout of US
00:23:01.440
financial investment in the British establishment and the British foreign policy realm. This has gone
00:23:08.160
too far at this point. They are arresting people. There was always this idea that the US and UK are,
00:23:16.400
they're different systems. They have a monarchy over there for what it's worth. They don't have a
00:23:22.160
first amendment, but there has been this big historical bond. But the idea that you can make
00:23:27.280
a tweet in Arizona and then think that you can fly to London and everything will be fine,
00:23:32.800
and you end up being hauled away by five armed guards awaiting prison, only allowed bail if you
00:23:40.480
agree to never open your mouth again. This is the sort of thing that is frankly a major international
00:23:48.960
incident, and a message has to be sent. If you punch people on American soil,
00:23:55.600
you'll be hit by three times that force in the United States.

00:24:14.960
I'm honored to go to our next guest. I call her the gold standard of a White House correspondent.
00:24:23.040
That is my friend Reagan Reese of The Daily Caller. Reagan, yet again, you have a wonderful interview
00:24:29.600
with President Trump. Give us some of the top line hits. I know there's been like 80 articles,
00:24:35.920
written off just probably like each minute of your interview with him, but a lot to get into.
00:24:46.080
Well, first, Natalie, let me say I spent an hour with the President in the Oval Office on Friday,
00:24:51.520
and I woke up Saturday morning to liberals thinking that President Trump is dead. And so I didn't think
00:24:56.320
it was going to fall on me to prove that the President is very much alive, and he totally was.
00:25:01.920
When I walked in the Oval Office, he was more energetic than I've ever seen anyone in my life,
00:25:07.360
alive, ready to chat, was ready for me. And we had a really productive conversation.
00:25:13.120
He told me that he's open to reopening insane asylums to clean up the streets of DC. He explained
00:25:20.000
to me the thought process behind allowing 600,000 Chinese students over two years in the United States,
00:25:27.040
which I think is a big policy that matters to the MAGA base, wondering why he did that and why
00:25:33.600
he doesn't want universities to fail. He also said that he believes Israel has lost its influence
00:25:40.080
on U.S. Congress over the last 15 years and that it's not what it used to be. He added that he would
00:25:46.400
not be bothered at all to see John Brennan and James Coney arrested on live television. He talked about
00:25:53.680
the Russia and Ukraine war. He also explained to me why he is considering using U.S. forces
00:26:00.160
in the air to end the war in security guarantees. And then, of course, the President took me out to
00:26:06.800
the Rose Garden to show me where he is going to hang all of the presidential portraits. He's going to call
00:26:11.840
it the Presidential Wall of Fame. And I asked him, Mr. President, are you going to hang Joe Biden's
00:26:17.200
portrait? And he said to me, all right, let's show you. I want to hang a photo of the auto pen.
00:26:23.120
And he asked me for my advice on whether I think he should do it or not. And I said, Mr. President,
00:26:29.600
I think it's very Trump. I think you have to do it. So you can expect a photo of the auto pen to be
00:26:34.880
hanging in Joe Biden's place on the Presidential Wall of Fame in about two weeks in the Rose Garden.
00:26:40.000
And did you get to see it or what did the gallery look like?
00:26:46.080
So when you walk out to the Rose Garden, right now it's being marked a little bit. There are like
00:26:50.560
placeholders for the frames. But President Trump did bring out like George Washington,
00:26:55.360
Thomas Jefferson's portraits in very beautiful gold frames. Kind of give me an example of what
00:27:00.880
some of the portraits are going to look like. And he had a huge stack of papers printed on his desk,
00:27:06.480
I'm sure, to show me different articles and things that he's reading. And right on the top
00:27:11.760
was that photo of the Biden auto pen. And I believe he's actually truthed it out before.
00:27:17.440
It's circulating right now on Twitter. And so that's what you can expect. I think it's a little
00:27:21.760
pen that says auto pen. It's going to go right where Joe Biden should be, in between two pictures of Trump.
00:27:29.920
That's an absolutely wonderful troll break. And if you can hang with us through the break,
00:27:34.080
I want to actually get into some of the substance behind that. I don't think a lot of people know,
00:27:37.920
but you were actually a White House correspondent during the days of the Biden regime. If you can
00:27:42.400
believe it, the Daily Caller had someone in there. I know you weren't probably called on
00:27:46.320
nearly as much. And something tells me you were not given the access that you have now to the
00:27:50.720
president. I can't imagine you doing an interview with Biden. I guess I can't imagine him doing many
00:27:55.600
interviews that remain unedited. But I'd love to just get some of your kind of inside scoop there and why
00:28:01.840
this portrait really probably is justified, if anything. The White House is still probably
00:28:06.160
going pretty soft. Hang with us through the break. We're in posse. We'll be right back. More Reagan,
00:28:10.320
Reese, and like I said, Representative Mary Miller of Illinois. I think the only Republican calling
00:28:15.600
for President Trump to deploy a National Guard to Chicago. Wild, there's only one. But she'll join us
00:28:21.840
after it. We'll be right back. You missed the IRS tax deadline. You think it's just going to go away?
00:28:31.680

If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this. In today's AI and cyber world, scammers are stealing
00:30:02.900
home titles with more ease than ever and your equity is the target. Here's how it works. Criminals
00:30:07.220
forge your signature on one document, use a fake notary stamp, pay a small fee with your county and
00:30:11.480
boom. Your home title has been transferred out of your name. Then they take out loans using your
00:30:15.760
equity or even sell your property. You won't even know it's happened until you get a collection or
00:30:19.900
foreclosure notice. So let me ask you, when was the last time you checked your home title? If you're
00:30:24.340
like me, the answer is never. And that's exactly what scammers are counting on. That's why I trust
00:30:28.520

00:30:59.080
scam I'm talking about. I'm sure that's probably been done, but we still got Reagan Reese with us.
00:31:03.480
Reagan, you have done some wonderful reporting. Like I was saying on sort of the juxtaposition
00:31:07.840
between the Biden regime and the Trump administration, very intentional with addiction there.
00:31:12.780
Um, but just walk us through, yes, obviously it's a troll. It's funny. Um, but what you sort of
00:31:17.960
experienced firsthand during your time there and why this portrait is probably not that far off from
00:31:22.780
reality. Well, it can be boiled down to the fact that we really never saw president Biden and I
00:31:31.320
covered the Biden white house for a year, a little over a year. I got one question of president Biden
00:31:37.380
and his answer. He didn't even speak his answer to me. He just shook his head. And I got three
00:31:42.940
questions of white house press secretary, Corrine Jean-Pierre, two of which she gave me because there
00:31:48.160
was a snowstorm. No one showed up to the white house briefing. And I was essentially one of the
00:31:53.020
only people left that she hadn't called on. She ran out of people to call on. Uh, but when you hear
00:31:57.340
people talk about the Biden auto pen pen scandal, it's because president Biden, we now know,
00:32:03.200
and this was reported, I was reading back New York times reporting, didn't sign his, uh, pardons from
00:32:09.700
December to January. He only signed one and it was that of his son, Hunter Biden. And president Biden
00:32:15.820
actually called the New York times to talk about this. And he said, yeah, I had to authorize the
00:32:21.300
use of the auto pen because I just had too many pardons. And the New York times goes on to report
00:32:26.360
that what would happen is Biden would give verbal permission to his most senior aides to use the
00:32:32.380
auto pen. So no written record of Biden telling anyone to use the auto pen. They would then pass
00:32:38.340
that on to their lower aides, their assistants who would then summarize in their words, what they were
00:32:44.760
told by their boss, who would then send an email giving permission to the lady who mans the auto pen to
00:32:51.480
sign off on whatever. And when there were little changes that were needing to be made to groups of
00:32:57.600
pardons or communication documents, whatever, they would not go to president Biden for every single
00:33:03.520
one. Biden would just largely sign off on a large topic or a category for pardons, et cetera, whatever
00:33:11.940
they were putting out. And so they wouldn't even check with him about little individual, uh, things
00:33:17.600
that were made. And of course you don't expect the president to make, to keep track of every single
00:33:22.580
little development that happens within their white house. But this is seriously concerning
00:33:27.500
that it was this large game of telephone that was being played in the most important office
00:33:33.240
in the entire world. And so when I woke up on Saturday, hearing that people were so concerned
00:33:39.020
that president Trump hadn't made a public appearance in two days. I mean, I remember times being at the
00:33:45.140
white house where we didn't see the president for multiple days and the photographers would rush outside to
00:33:50.100
take a photo of the sunset because that's the most interesting thing that happened at the white
00:33:54.900
house. And you never, ever heard complaints like what we have heard or the hysteria of what we've
00:34:00.720
heard over our last few days. And Reagan, you're obviously in DC. So you've also seen DC under Biden,
00:34:08.440
under Trump. I think even mayor Bowser was forced to admit, uh, that president Trump is cleaning up
00:34:14.160
the city. Um, I'm curious, um, I'm curious your thoughts on how the DC cleanup is going thus far
00:34:19.300
as someone who, you know, is always in and out of the white house. You're around DC a lot. What's
00:34:23.400
your experience been? Well, Natalie, I moved from Capitol Hill during the Biden administration
00:34:29.440
because I did not feel safe. We had an attempted break-in at my place on Capitol Hill. Uh, I was like,
00:34:36.640
I can't do this anymore. I didn't feel safe walking through union station, walking through the Metro.
00:34:41.140
Actually the only time I felt walking, it felt safe walking through the union station was when
00:34:46.420
president Biden gave a speech there and they cleaned it up and remove removed all the homeless people
00:34:51.200
for his speech. And the very next day they were all back and it was back to being unsafe. Now I'm,
00:34:56.940
I told this to president Trump in the Oval Office, I've witnessed a crime in Virginia. And now that I'm,
00:35:03.560
you know, going to work every day in DC and there's national guard at almost every Metro stop,
00:35:08.940
making sure you get on the Metro safely. And there's 22 federal agencies who are patrolling
00:35:13.880
the streets every night, uh, to keep our streets safe. It just feels so much more different. And
00:35:19.400
then I'm getting statistics from the white house every day about the amount of people they've arrested.
00:35:24.300
And of course the number of total arrests, it's over a thousand. That's very impressive,
00:35:28.940
but I'm constantly struck by the amount of illegal aliens that they are arresting every night in
00:35:34.880
Washington DC. It's dozens every night. And that is unbelievable. I cannot believe how many illegal
00:35:41.880
aliens were in Washington DC. And the white house notes that these are illegal aliens who are being
00:35:48.200
arrested on additional crimes. They're not being arrested for being illegal aliens. They've committed
00:35:53.500
other crimes that has caused them to be arrested by, you know, the Trump crackdown of DC. It's something
00:36:00.960
that deserves so much more attention than what it's getting. Reagan, if people want to read the
00:36:07.180
piece, follow you, stay up to date with all of your wonderful reporting from the white house, where can
00:36:11.380
they go to do that? I'm on Twitter, Instagram, Reagan Reese underscore. Reagan, thank you so much for
00:36:19.080
joining us. And thank you for being, like I said, the gold standard of a white house correspondent.
00:36:24.320
You're the best, Natalie. Thanks so much. Thank you for joining us. And Denver, if we can actually
00:36:30.140
roll that clip of Mayor Bowser being forced to admit a Trump W, let's hit it. For carjackings,
00:36:36.420
the difference between this period, this 20 day period of this federal surge and last year
00:36:43.720
represents a 87% reduction in carjackings in Washington DC. We know that when carjackings go
00:36:54.820
down, when the use of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are
00:37:02.760
safer. So this surge has been important to us for that reason.
00:37:08.460
I guess Governor Pritzker in Chicago may have missed that press conference, maybe too busy
00:37:13.740
campaigning for 2028, though I would think being not just soft on crime, but pro-crime is probably
00:37:19.680
not going to play too well with the American people, let alone those of y'all who live in
00:37:23.680
Chicago and know full well the reality of what that city is. If you guys remember, I went to college
00:37:28.860
over there on the south side of Chicago. That's where UChicago was. And I can attest that I
00:37:33.080
definitely think we need some form of the National Guard, certainly an upped law enforcement presence
00:37:37.620
there. You would think most Republicans in Illinois would agree, but we really only have one who's
00:37:42.840
being vocal about that, and that is Representative Mary Miller, who joins us now. Representative Miller,
00:37:48.860
I'm just curious to sort of get your top-line assessment. We're being told by Pritzker that,
00:37:53.680
you know, the clip we just played from Mayor Bowser is fake, that the deployments of, you know,
00:37:58.380
these various law enforcement agencies doesn't work. What are your constituents telling you? How do
00:38:04.180
they feel about their sort of lived reality on the ground?
00:38:06.680
Well, the people are afraid, and he's trying to gaslight them and force them to deny reality.
00:38:16.500
And he has a track record of not telling the truth. So he should humble himself and get on the phone
00:38:23.920
and call President Trump and get help. And, you know, it's a year ago he was happy to have the National
00:38:31.300
Guard come in to protect his friends at the DNC. So why not come in and protect the wonderful people
00:38:37.720
of Chicago that are suffering right now? This is a tragedy for them.
00:38:43.680
And just walk us through the problem for, you know, those who aren't maybe super familiar with
00:38:48.740
what life is like in Chicago, or is it all of Illinois, or what parts are we talking about where
00:38:55.400
you think this sort of additional force, either protection or people being there would actually be
00:39:00.520
advantageous? Right. Well, of course, the crime is concentrated in Chicago, where the people are.
00:39:07.800
But J.B. Pritzker rolled out the red carpet for illegals, which has exasperated the problem.
00:39:13.320
But this has been an ongoing problem. The Democrats have controlled Chicago for almost 100 years,
00:39:19.520
and now it's turned into a virtual war zone. And I do want to say that Chicago is a beautiful city
00:39:26.480
with a great history, wonderful people, and so much potential. But the citizens that live there
00:39:33.780
are being terrorized by crime. It is a virtual war zone. This past weekend, there have been 50—there
00:39:39.280
were 54 shootings this past weekend. Eight people died. And this is typical. Since January 1st,
00:39:47.320
I believe there were 147,000 crimes reported, and there were only, I think, 16 percent of those
00:40:01.400
resulted in arrests. And then, even that, we have something called the Safety Act in Illinois,
00:40:07.400
which releases criminals onto the street without having to post any bond. It is a disaster for people.
00:40:13.400
And President Trump has a proven record. He's tamped down the crime in two weeks in Washington,
00:40:20.040
D.C., and made it a safe city. But he has a record of proving that he cares about the American people.
00:40:26.440
And the first role of the government is to protect the people. And that's what he's done by securing our
00:40:33.000
border, standing up for rule of law, getting the National Guard in D.C., and tamping down crime there.
00:40:40.680
And I completely believe President Trump that he is coming to Chicago.
00:40:47.960
Well, I think you get to the heart of it, right? The idea of protecting the people. I always say Democrats
00:40:52.200
have this perverse view, I think, of the social contract. You see it, whether it's immigration,
00:40:56.280
the H-1B stuff, right? They think that our government should be actively working to undermine,
00:41:00.840
whether it's Americans' quality of life, wages, name your pick. But there's something,
00:41:05.080
I think, bizarrely and almost uncanny levels of sinister about the way that Pritzker is doing
00:41:11.560
his interviews, where he's just so flippant and glib about, you know, oh, yeah, I guess there were
00:41:15.640
54, you know, assaults or homicides committed. He just sort of laughs it off, says that it's a part
00:41:20.600
of city life. Is this sort of just like the Democrat mindset, the left, very far left progressive?
00:41:27.080
I mean, I don't think there's a lot of respect for humanity, but it's just sort of that on full
00:41:31.880
display. And they've proven it, that they would rather side with thugs, with gangbangers, with
00:41:40.680
illegals and the criminals over the victims or the citizens. And, you know, J.B. Pritzker can say
00:41:47.480
whatever he wants. He does not care about the people. I don't, I've not heard one story of him going
00:41:53.720
to visit a victim or the family of a victim, which that proves a lot. President Trump's
00:42:00.360
always reaching out to victims. He wants to comfort them. He wants to hear their story
00:42:05.240
and he wants them to be able to tell their story.
00:42:09.960
Yeah. And like I was saying, there's this evil, I think, compounding nature where, you know,
00:42:13.960
they won't do anything for Americans. But then just today, right, you see the DOJ suing Pritzker
00:42:19.480
for giving financial aid, free tuition, all those sort of benefits to illegal aliens. Can you walk
00:42:24.920
us through your thoughts to that, too? Is that the kind of action that you want from President Trump?
00:42:31.080
Oh, yeah, absolutely. Well, you know, President Trump needs to bring ICE in in a big way because
00:42:38.040
we are a safe haven. Well, we're a sanctuary state and Chicago is a sanctuary city for illegals. They
00:42:44.200
can't even handle their own problems. And now we're inviting illegals to come in and picking up the tab for
00:42:50.360
them completely. And then we keep expanding benefits. So I know Pritzker's expanding the benefits for
00:42:59.720
higher education for illegals now. It's completely outrageous. I don't know if you've heard the story
00:43:06.280
of the woman in Winnetka. Her mom actually came in my office and she was a guest of President Trump's
00:43:15.960
at the White House because he wanted to hear her story, but her daughter was beheaded.
00:43:19.880
And Representative Miller, we have to jump to break. And I want to give you time to tell that story and
00:43:26.040
give that woman justice. We're going to come back with a clip of Pritzker just flippantly dismissing all
00:43:31.320
the murders and homicides like the one you were just referencing in his city. We got Representative
00:43:37.320
Miller. We still have a lot of stuff to get through. We'll be right back. More War Room after this short
00:43:41.960
break. We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the CCP. According to the Department of Energy,
00:43:49.880
blackouts could increase by 10,000 percent over the next few years. It's because of massive energy demand
00:43:56.120
from artificial intelligence data centers. We talk about that all the time here in the War Room.
00:44:01.240
And we have a fragile power grid. It just cannot keep up with that demand. I don't know about you,
00:44:06.920
but I don't like the idea of being without power even for a day. That's why I got the grid doctor
00:44:12.200
3300 from my patron supply. It's a powerful solar generator that runs refrigerators, AC units,
00:44:19.320
medical devices, power tools, anything you need to write out a blackout. And right now for their Christmas
00:44:25.480
in July event, they're including over $1,000 in free survival gear with your generator, including
00:44:33.080

00:44:59.800
especially this past weekend, 54 shot, seven dead. Yeah. They're going to say the city's not safe.
00:45:07.080
Would you ask your friends to ride the L after midnight or after, you know, nine o'clock at night,
00:45:11.880
even down to the city from O'Hare? Look, big cities have crime. There's no doubt about it.
00:45:19.000
But let's just pay attention to what President Trump is doing targeting Chicago. He's overlooking
00:45:30.040
There's crime and then there is, you know, unforced criminality by importing an entire
00:45:35.400
subset of a population that is members of gangs, transnational gangs involved in the drug trade and
00:45:41.320
apparently beheading as Representative Miller. I'm sorry to cut you off, but if you want to pick up
00:45:46.040
where you left off, just talking about your constituents and the people that you've met
00:45:49.640
with who I think Britsger could probably do well to meet with too. Yes. Well, Chicago has become a war
00:45:56.600
zone. The Democrats have had control for almost a hundred years. The murder rate in Chicago is higher than
00:46:04.120
any city in any city in our country. It's actually 15 times higher than Delhi, India. It is a disaster
00:46:11.800
for the people that work there, for the businesses and for travelers. It is a war zone and he needs
00:46:18.840
help. Now, besides, so since January 1st, there have been 147,000 reported crimes in Chicago. And of those,
00:46:28.760
there have been arrests in only 16.2% of them. That is pathetic. On top of that, they are being
00:46:36.200
released because of the safety act, which JB Pritzker has lauded as being good for the people
00:46:42.520
in Illinois. And in light of the safety act, what I was telling you is I had a mom come in my office,
00:46:48.520
a very traumatized mother. Her daughter was beheaded by an illegal in Winnetka and put in a trash
00:46:58.440
can. 51 days later, the police found the body. And according to the mother, he admitted that he
00:47:06.840
beheaded her daughter. The judge released that man saying he wasn't a threat to the community or a
00:47:15.480
flight risk and let him go back to the crime scene. I can't fathom that this happened. Thankfully,
00:47:21.480
President Trump sent ICE to Winnetka and arrested the man, and he will be held until his court date. But
00:47:30.840
literally, this is proof that JB Pritzker sides with thugs, criminals, and illegals before the
00:47:38.200
citizens, before the law-abiding citizens in Illinois.
00:47:41.800
Representative Miller, we appreciate you for speaking out. I wish more of your
00:47:48.280
Republican colleagues would do the same. Before we have you back on in the meantime,
00:47:52.040
where can people go to follow you, check out everything you're working on,
00:47:54.680
or if we have some of your constituents listening and they want to talk to you,
00:47:57.160
where can they go to do that? Sure. Just Rep. Mary Miller.
00:48:00.520
Thank you, ma'am, for joining us. You're welcome.
00:48:07.800
Honored to be joined back by Mike Lindell. Mike, I feel like it was a few weeks that I didn't have
00:48:12.200
the privilege to have you on, so thank you for gracing us with your presence. I hear you are hot
00:48:17.880
off the White House, but also a perfect segue from our last guest talking about bad governors in the
00:48:24.040
Midwest. Everyone is curious. I know you're maybe mulling a run yourself. Did meeting with President Trump
00:48:31.240
or any of this crime talk, what we've been seeing play out in D.C., influence your decision?
00:48:38.120
Yeah, absolutely. I've been in D.C. now today and tomorrow. I'm going to be at the White House
00:48:42.520
in both days. And, Natalie, I made a walk. Now, I've been coming to D.C. now every month for the past,
00:48:49.720
since he's been back in office. And I had to make about a mile and a half walk there by myself today
00:48:55.960
to the White House. And it is a different feeling here, that you feel more secure. Now, granted,
00:49:01.480
I have the same people coming to me, thank you for saving the country. And, Mike, what are you doing?
00:49:05.480
Blah, blah, blah. But you don't feel threatened. You just feel it's just too protesting here and be
00:49:13.480
happy here. But it's the safeness. You feel more secure. And, Natalie, the mayor saying here,
00:49:18.920
what was it, just a week ago or whatever, saying, hey, this is working. This is working.
00:49:24.760
And me being from Minnesota, where we know what's not working, remember, our governor,
00:49:29.960
they burned down the streets of Minneapolis. We have the most nonsensical governor the world
00:49:34.600
has ever known. He gave driver's licenses, everybody. Are you ready for this? To all the illegals.
00:49:40.040
They all get everything free. They get, you know, here's your driver's license. Do you think they're
00:49:45.160
not voting? Of course they're voting. And so, yeah, this doesn't really put an influence on me,
00:49:50.680
everybody. Everyone knows I've been very much considering running for governor of Minnesota.
00:49:56.200
And I will tell you this, Natalie, the polls came back. And one of the preliminary polls,
00:50:01.240
election security is now in the top three in Minnesota, what people are concerned about in this
00:50:07.080
next election. Some of the places in the country has become the number one issue. Not illegals,
00:50:12.280
not the economy, not abortion, but our elections, because everything comes from our elections, you
00:50:18.120
guys. But anyway, I'm very happy to be on and be back here at the war room. I've been so busy the
00:50:24.520
last couple of weeks. But I wanted to tell you all here, I came back just in time because right now,

00:52:29.560
rare in the world. You know, we're very serious, but we appreciate that you could do both. And I
00:52:34.120
think Minnesota could use someone like you. Warren Posse, thank you for hanging with me. Of course,
00:52:39.320
Barry Lee from President Trump's press conference today, being that he singled out Colorado because of
00:52:43.480
their use of mail-in ballots, a cardinal sin in Trump world, evidenced by the recent executive
00:52:49.720
order. Thank you guys for hanging with me. I believe Steve has taken over at the 6 p.m.,
00:52:54.680
There's a lot of talk about government debt, but after four years of inflation, the real crisis is
00:53:02.760
personal debt. Seriously, you're working harder than ever, and you're still drowning in credit card
00:53:08.840
debt and overdue bills. You need done with debt. And here's why you need it. The credit system is
00:53:15.720
rigged to keep you trapped. Done with debt has unique and frankly, brilliant escape strategies
00:53:22.280
to help end your debt fast. So you keep more of your hard earned money. Done with debt doesn't
00:53:29.160
try to sell you a loan and they don't try to sell you a bankruptcy. They're tough negotiators that go
00:53:35.240
one-on-one with your credit card and loan companies with one goal to drastically reduce your bills and
00:53:40.520
eliminate interest and erase penalties. Most clients end up with more money in their pocket
00:53:46.920
month one, and they don't stop until they break you free from debt permanently.
