Summary

On the heels of the shooting of two border patrol agents in Minneapolis, the community is weighing in on the lack of accountability from the Department of Homeland Security for the deaths of two men who were shot and killed by CBP agents on Saturday.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 here though, right? Yeah, I think so. Look, I mean, here's what's weird about it. Him is that
00:00:05.500 did he knows you have to work together, but it is a strange thing as an individual human being.
00:00:09.700 You know, he calls me the R word. He says, you know, he makes up things that I'm corrupt. Like
00:00:13.400 there's something seriously wrong with this guy. And then you get a call that, you know,
00:00:16.960 we got to work together. That's what, and look, I'm probably guilty of that too, because I call
00:00:22.240 them things. I just think I can probably back my, my comments up a little bit, but I think,
00:00:28.500 and this is where I am very hopeful for the president to make that call, to tell me he will
00:00:35.160 look into giving us back the cases, you know, partnering with them and reducing the numbers.
00:00:44.020 I'm not going to say I'm grateful because you started this fire. You don't get credit for
00:00:48.340 putting it out after you started it. But I am going to say, especially in these times that they are
00:00:53.420 working for a solution. And again, I won't pretend to look into their hearts. I think I know on
00:00:58.480 this. I just care that they end up in the same place where I want to end up is quit hassling
00:01:03.120 our citizens, follow the constitution, get these folks out of here and make the folks who shot Alex
00:01:08.060 and Renee accountable for what they did. I don't think it's a pullback. It's a little bit of a
00:01:11.560 change. You know, Bovino is very good, but he's a pretty out there kind of a guy. And in some cases,
00:01:16.320 that's good. Maybe it wasn't good here. Other cities to form groups, they're calling ice watchers
00:01:21.380 and that keep tabs on known and suspected DHS vehicles and then film and record encounters,
00:01:27.100 just as Alex Freddie was doing when he was killed by border patrol agents right here on Saturday.
00:01:33.280 Today, I got the chance to ride along with ice watch volunteers on their patrol and learn about
00:01:37.720 what they face when they encounter federal agents. Now, we're not going to show their faces to protect
00:01:41.560 their identities. Our drivers are two individuals who came out with us this afternoon. They told us
00:01:47.920 what they've seen over the past three months. What have your interactions been like when you have
00:01:54.420 been around ice or CBP grabbing people or out? Yeah, it's pretty mixed.
00:02:05.920 It can often be a really volatile, high-tension experience. And it just kind of depends.
00:02:17.920 Matchstick, if you want to jump in at any point, let me know. But we've seen them, like,
00:02:24.420 a common move is wrapping their arms around people's necks and, like, throwing them to the
00:02:29.560 ground from the back. Sometimes they're just, like, back up, you know.
00:02:33.540 You're saying doing that to observers? To observers, yeah.
00:02:36.820 And sometimes they'll yell at you, back up.
00:02:38.520 Yeah, they're relatively forceful, even if they're not, like, physically forceful.
00:02:45.720 Yeah.
00:02:47.220 But there's also been times where they couldn't care less about if we're there and aren't talking
00:02:55.560 to us or just ignoring us.
00:02:56.840 Look, when J.D. Vance said that government officials, that federal law enforcement have
00:03:03.180 absolute immunity, a whole bunch of lawyers tis-tis him and said, oh, no, he misspoke.
00:03:08.920 No, no, no. J.D. Vance was telling us the practical reality, which is that because they
00:03:13.220 control the Department of Justice and because Pam Bondi will never open up a criminal investigation
00:03:17.920 of any shooting or any action by anyone in favor with Donald Trump and his administration.
00:03:23.340 And, in fact, they pardoned the January 6th folks. They pardoned Donald Trump's friends.
00:03:28.180 There is de facto absolute immunity for at least as long as Donald Trump is in office at
00:03:33.360 the federal level. Now, there are things at the state level that Keith Ellison no doubt
00:03:37.740 is exploring, that the city of Minneapolis is no doubt exploring, and good for them, good
00:03:42.760 for what they're doing. But we need to understand we are on our own. The federal government is
00:03:47.320 not going to protect us. The federal government is not going to investigate wrongdoing against
00:03:52.200 any protester, any peaceful advocate for democracy. You know, that is that is why I say we're on our
00:03:59.300 own. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller wrote that administration officials are now
00:04:05.920 evaluating why the CPB team in Minneapolis, quote, may not have been following protocol set for extra
00:04:14.720 personnel sent to Minnesota for force protection. What does that mean? That's a wow. Kyle, did you hear
00:04:23.300 that? Yes. I don't have any special insight on what that means. You know, it is the seems like at least
00:04:32.620 a small backtracking. But, you know, it does not sound I don't I don't have anything smart to say about
00:04:38.180 that. That's for sure. But but but even if it's a tiny backtracking and from Miller, this is the
00:04:43.760 point. This is from Stephen Miller, right? They don't get more draconian than Steve Miller. Just
00:04:48.980 go back to his, you know, high school student council speeches of the world in the high school
00:04:53.420 he chose to live in. The fact that we're getting a statement like that at 11 o'clock at night from
00:04:57.760 Stephen Miller in the White House without knowing any background. What does that tell you
00:05:03.040 about their resolve, the chaos of the moment or the uprising with the American people?
00:05:07.900 What that tells me is that the pressure that they're feeling, the pressure is on. The pressure
00:05:12.060 is absolutely on. And that is exemplified by the fact that that statement was not put out in Caroline
00:05:16.840 Lovett's name, but came out in his.
00:05:22.700 K�quierda taught me the labor crisis and that my son died caused by the situation. The
00:05:36.720 places that ultimately 말씀이 could have been bombed after him, perhaps the cult by feeling
00:05:41.100 there. They'd be totally concerned about it right now, but are they that I'm really thinking
00:05:43.420 about it right now.
00:05:44.360 Help me understand how the president of the United States is taking is changing his tune
00:06:11.320 or tone when they're investigating Alex Petty, who we watched be murdered, essentially
00:06:17.800 on loop this week since it happened.
00:06:21.240 What is going on, Mark?
00:06:23.320 So, you know exactly what's going on.
00:06:25.140 The state investigated Emmett Till.
00:06:28.040 You know, the state investigated the black citizens of Black Wall Street in, you know,
00:06:35.480 in the massacre, in the Tulsa massacre, right?
00:06:38.540 We know what they're doing because this isn't new.
00:06:42.320 The government is investigating the victim because they want to find a reason to say that
00:06:48.240 he was asking for it, that the mother with a dog in her back seat and stuffed animals
00:06:53.720 out of her in her in her glove compartment, that she was the aggressor, that that the
00:06:59.660 ICU nurse who was clearly trying to protect a woman who was being pepper sprayed and who
00:07:05.160 was then thrown to the ground and was beaten, that he was the perpetrator.
00:07:10.600 And we've seen this playbook before.
00:07:12.560 It was a dark time in American history.
00:07:14.440 And for those people who thought that we had moved beyond that dark time and that the federal
00:07:18.900 government was not, would no longer do this kind of thing, in those instances of state
00:07:24.380 government, now the federal government, we haven't moved that far beyond.
00:07:27.500 And yeah, there are court fights going on in all these places.
00:07:31.460 And I'm happy, I'm proud to say my law firm and I were in those cases, side by side with
00:07:36.000 those states in every 24 of those jurisdictions, and that the Trump Department of Justice is
00:07:40.820 0 for 3.
00:07:41.860 But we know when they can't win in court, they're going to resort to violence.
00:07:45.860 We saw that on January 6th.
00:07:47.460 With this, and we need to know going forward that there will be some rules.
00:07:52.260 There needs to be an independent investigation, for goodness sakes.
00:07:55.260 There has to be an investigation.
00:07:57.380 If this happened on a police force, the officers, whether or not they committed anything wrong,
00:08:03.080 would immediately be put on administrative leave and there would be an investigation.
00:08:09.040 But I don't know who trusts an investigation to be done by DHS when they're the ones calling
00:08:13.480 this person an assassin, a would-be assassin, a domestic terrorist, saying he was assaulting
00:08:19.140 the police.
00:08:20.140 How can they be in charge of an independent investigation?
00:08:23.580 Something's got to happen here.
00:08:24.640 So, okay, so who else could conduct the investigation then?
00:08:28.740 If it's not DHS, who's going to do it?
00:08:31.000 I think that's a good question.
00:08:32.580 Within police bodies, you know, most police are not elected.
00:08:36.420 Some sheriffs are elected.
00:08:37.780 A lot of sheriffs are.
00:08:38.740 But there are independent police organizations that review these things.
00:08:42.780 And look, I'm not one saying the officers are guilty of anything criminal.
00:08:47.420 They, in all likelihood, were trying to do their job.
00:08:50.460 But in all likelihood, this is going to be a tragedy.
00:08:53.460 I mean, it is a tragedy.
00:08:55.240 I mean, I think the guns were prematurely drawn and prematurely fired after a gun had already
00:09:01.140 left the scene.
00:09:01.860 I think someone was shouting gun, gun, gun, gun, and they were worried that maybe the perpetrator
00:09:08.100 had it when, indeed, they're one of their own agents had it.
00:09:10.760 So it was a mistake.
00:09:12.040 But if we don't say it was a mistake, if we say this is just jolly well and good, he was
00:09:17.600 a terrorist, people aren't going to accept that.
00:09:21.400 You want Minnesota to calm down?
00:09:23.620 We have to show that there's a just and independent investigation here.
00:09:30.220 You know, Minnesota's in the news a lot.
00:09:33.740 But what they don't say is that Minnesota has low numbers because of the fact that we took
00:09:38.840 thousands of hardened criminals out of Minnesota.
00:09:41.420 So they had good crime numbers, believe it or not.
00:09:44.060 And that's all working out.
00:09:45.800 You know, we have Tom Holman there now.
00:09:47.060 We put him in there.
00:09:47.700 He's great.
00:09:48.640 And they met with the governor, the mayor, everybody else.
00:09:51.080 And we're going to de-escalate a little bit.
00:09:55.820 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:10:00.680 Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.
00:10:05.900 I got a free shot.
00:10:07.160 All these networks lying about the people.
00:10:10.160 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:10:12.160 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:10:13.580 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:10:16.180 It's going to happen.
00:10:17.460 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:10:20.140 Mega Media.
00:10:22.200 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:10:27.640 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:10:31.400 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:10:37.820 War Room.
00:10:38.600 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:10:40.580 It's Wednesday, 28 January at Year of the Lord, 2026.
00:10:51.040 MAGA is not breaking over this.
00:10:53.020 Of course, everything's bending a little bit, but not going to break by a long shot.
00:10:57.360 We're anti-fragile.
00:10:58.600 And we're resilient.
00:11:01.220 Been through these before.
00:11:03.620 We'll get this sorted.
00:11:04.720 President Trump and just coming hot off the press, because I think he's getting a belly full of it again.
00:11:11.160 I turn to true social.
00:11:13.780 And I quote, this is from the president.
00:11:17.620 Surprisingly, Mayor Jacob Fry just stated that Minneapolis does not and will not enforce federal immigration laws.
00:11:24.640 End quote.
00:11:25.040 This is after having had a very good conversation with him.
00:11:29.080 Could somebody in his inner sanctum please explain that this statement is a very serious violation of the law and he is playing with fire, all cap.
00:11:40.920 All Waltz and Fry have done is smack talk and say, yeah, they're not going to, you know, no federal immigration laws in Minneapolis.
00:11:49.700 That's a sanctuary city.
00:11:51.700 Homans out there, we need to hold, it's very, it's quite simple.
00:11:55.320 In the fog of war, right, just look through it.
00:11:59.540 We have to hold the line.
00:12:01.440 There can be no de-escalation at all.
00:12:03.780 You don't need to bring down the temperature.
00:12:05.440 Raise the temperature.
00:12:07.520 Put them under pressure.
00:12:09.140 They're the ones that are cracking.
00:12:11.800 They're fighting.
00:12:12.260 The whole nation sees it.
00:12:13.360 The polling's still there.
00:12:14.800 The Washington Post said today, oh, Trump did so good on the border and closing the border, but he bit off more.
00:12:19.240 He's the author of his own problem because he said he was going to deport everybody and that's impossible.
00:12:24.600 It's not impossible.
00:12:25.360 It's going to happen.
00:12:27.460 The Democratic Party business, the Red Green Alliance business model is to flood the nation with the illegal aliens and just say, oh, it's too hard to get them out.
00:12:36.220 It's too bad.
00:12:36.860 Let's have them vote.
00:12:37.540 Let's get them on welfare.
00:12:38.380 Let's do it all.
00:12:38.900 It's not going to happen.
00:12:39.700 That's why Lance DeBoyle in Minneapolis, Fry's a weakling.
00:12:47.040 Waltz is a clown.
00:12:48.560 We couldn't get better casting.
00:12:50.300 You have a weakling and you have a clown.
00:12:53.120 Remember Fry during the BLM?
00:12:55.540 No compromise with these guys.
00:12:57.320 And Stephen Miller, let me be blunt.
00:13:00.760 You can't send 300 custom in border and ICE and not have a whole of government approach.
00:13:09.700 You have to have DOJ.
00:13:10.860 You have to have Tiger teams of prosecutors.
00:13:12.980 I think they've had 12 prosecutors quit the Minneapolis office.
00:13:16.040 That's fine.
00:13:17.020 Nobody's forcing you to work.
00:13:18.320 But Surge, other prosecutors, FBI, where are the pipe hitters?
00:13:24.480 Where's Department of War?
00:13:26.060 Where's an entire full whole of government approach?
00:13:31.160 You can't put a handful of Customs and Borders and ICE agents there and let them be surrounded every night by domestic violent terrorists.
00:13:41.680 This is inflection point.
00:13:43.860 You blink now and you're going to blink forever.
00:13:46.540 You bend the knee now, you'll bend the knee forever.
00:13:50.520 If we stand in the breach and say, screw you, we're fighting for the country, right?
00:13:56.220 And I don't care how many people I got to deport.
00:13:58.000 I don't care.
00:13:58.720 If the families are there and they're there illegally and we want to keep them together, guess what?
00:14:03.540 You're going to have to round up some five-year-olds with their parents.
00:14:08.840 But they're going home.
00:14:11.280 And home ain't the United States.
00:14:13.020 I don't care how long they've been here on Biden's watch, law-abiding.
00:14:17.160 That's not the point.
00:14:18.300 They're here illegally.
00:14:20.140 We can't afford it.
00:14:21.340 African-Americans, Hispanic-American citizens, the white working class, their lives are being destroyed.
00:14:27.580 Their education systems, their health care, their jobs are being taken.
00:14:31.200 Their wages are being driven down.
00:14:32.620 They're American citizens.
00:14:35.360 And illegal alien invaders are not American citizens.
00:14:38.740 That's a bright line.
00:14:41.020 And somebody's got to be clarifying that.
00:14:44.820 Because MAGA ain't backing down.
00:14:46.840 We're not in the back-down business.
00:14:49.200 Eric Prince, Mike Howe, next in the war room.
00:14:52.300 I got American, baby.
00:14:56.040 In America's heart.
00:14:58.380 There's a lot of politicians that should be getting coal in their stockings for Christmas.
00:15:03.960 But Birch Gold thinks, as a smart planner, you deserve silver.
00:15:09.660 That's why for every $5,000 you purchase between now and December 22nd, Birch Gold will send you an ounce of silver free.
00:15:19.460 Remember, silver is up over 60% this year and over $60 an ounce.
00:15:25.380 You see, smart people diversify and have a hedge.
00:15:30.200 That's why I encourage you to buy gold from Birch Gold.
00:15:32.940 With the rate cuts from the Fed in 2026, the dollar will be worth less.
00:15:37.160 And what happens if the AI bubble bursts?
00:15:40.100 Diversify.
00:15:41.220 Let Birch Gold Group help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold.
00:15:49.760 Let me repeat that.
00:15:51.000 Physical gold.
00:15:52.020 And for every $5,000 you buy, you'll get an ounce of silver for your stocking or for your kids.
00:15:59.260 What a great way to teach them about saving smartly.
00:16:02.780 Just text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898 to claim your eligibility for this offer.
00:16:09.320 Again, text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898 today because Birch Gold's free silver with qualifying purchase promotion ends the 22nd of December of this year.
00:16:24.800 Make sure you text Bannon to 989898.
00:16:28.660 Do it today.
00:16:29.120 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:34.360 It was yesterday, and they're texting each other that was picked up in their social media.
00:16:38.860 They're calling it their Fallujah.
00:16:40.600 They're pouring in, like the Chet scenes, everybody went in for second Fallujah.
00:16:44.560 That's where we made the film.
00:16:47.940 You can't send, this is like we left troops in Iraq.
00:16:51.420 You send them in again, you send them into places, a couple hundred troops, and then you leave them.
00:16:55.940 It has to be a whole-of-government approach, a whole-of-government.
00:16:58.540 It's a complicated situation, and yes, we do want to handle it as humanely as possible, underlined as possible.
00:17:08.840 But they're all going.
00:17:11.420 They're all going.
00:17:13.460 Because once they know they're all going, they're going to leave themselves.
00:17:18.700 You have to have resolve.
00:17:20.180 This is like the 300 are like the guys at Den Ben Phu.
00:17:25.240 The French, he's put them in there.
00:17:26.320 Or you deal with the North Vietnamese, or at that time, you just deal with it.
00:17:30.620 You can have it.
00:17:32.000 It doesn't work like that.
00:17:33.660 This is what we did in Vietnam.
00:17:34.820 This is what we did in Iraq.
00:17:35.800 It can't happen.
00:17:37.060 And President Trump's getting a belly full of all right.
00:17:38.860 He understands he's getting bad information.
00:17:40.640 He just told Fry on True Social,
00:17:43.000 Yo, dude, you call me up, we have these good conversations,
00:17:45.420 and then you come out, you're not going to enforce immigration law.
00:17:47.320 But they're sanctuary city.
00:17:48.180 Mr. President Fry is a deceptive.
00:17:50.740 This is the type of debate of mail that the communists feed off of.
00:17:54.660 You've got a whole city of beta males.
00:17:57.420 They're too gutless to confront you in a conversation.
00:18:00.520 No, no, Mr. President, this is what we're going to do.
00:18:02.300 They'll worm around, and then he'll come out on public radio,
00:18:06.720 and he'll talk smack.
00:18:10.140 The buried lead that ain't so buried in President Trump's True Social,
00:18:15.180 you're playing with fire, all cap, exclamation point.
00:18:19.260 You're playing with fire.
00:18:23.340 Homan's out there.
00:18:24.080 He's a safe pair of hands, although I'm a Bovino guy.
00:18:27.740 Bovino was fine.
00:18:29.060 Bovino was in the middle of it.
00:18:30.460 And you can't sit there later and say, you know,
00:18:33.960 we're looking at the techniques, maybe the techniques are in.
00:18:36.200 Come on, man.
00:18:36.880 You can't turn the investigation over to these hyenas.
00:18:40.940 Look what they did in the Black Lives Matter situation.
00:18:44.800 Then you had jurors lying to get on the jury.
00:18:46.820 Come on.
00:18:48.040 Grow up.
00:18:49.360 Let's face real.
00:18:50.120 See what you see.
00:18:52.860 We have lots of victories here.
00:18:54.440 There's going to be lots of victories, and victory begets victory.
00:18:57.840 They're on a roll right now.
00:18:58.880 That can turn quickly.
00:19:02.880 Mike Howe, big Daily Mail story that we're abandoning all this
00:19:08.000 because of your interview the other day.
00:19:10.200 It's far from it.
00:19:11.920 The Howes, the princes, we've got Eric Prince next,
00:19:14.500 the war room, banning all of them.
00:19:18.800 We got the president's back just saying you're getting bad information.
00:19:22.380 And some people are starting to blink.
00:19:24.020 Hey, if you blink, that's fine.
00:19:25.540 These are these defining moments.
00:19:27.460 This is the Billy Bush moment on the campaign when they all wanted to wet themselves
00:19:31.500 and wanted to run away.
00:19:33.620 Hey, here's what I said.
00:19:34.680 Here's what we do.
00:19:35.160 We double and triple down.
00:19:36.340 Screw them.
00:19:37.580 The country doesn't give a crap about locker room talk.
00:19:42.340 Screw them.
00:19:43.140 And drive to victory.
00:19:45.400 And if you're too weak, get the frick out of the way.
00:19:47.540 Mike Pence, you're going to send a letter.
00:19:49.400 McConnell and Paul Ryan, get the hell out of the way.
00:19:53.940 It's time now for resolve and focus and determination.
00:19:58.440 Mike Howe, what do you got for us?
00:19:59.620 Look, I agree with 100% you there.
00:20:02.960 The president's going to make the right decision here.
00:20:05.400 He's been given terrible advice by the pollsters, the consultants, the summer soldier, fake Republicans
00:20:11.160 on Capitol Hill, the Mike Pence's of the world who got us into this mess.
00:20:15.160 And they had him, you know, basically try to approach Walls and Frey for a negotiation.
00:20:20.160 And we talked about this yesterday.
00:20:21.500 There's nothing to negotiate.
00:20:23.240 And Frey and Walls made that abundantly clear.
00:20:25.180 They're trying to get Trump and Republicans to say, the only people worth deporting are
00:20:30.000 criminals.
00:20:30.780 And then also, by the way, we won't even help you do that.
00:20:33.040 So there's nothing to negotiate there.
00:20:35.520 The negotiation was the 2024 election when President Trump said, I'm going to carry out
00:20:40.880 the biggest deportation operation in American history, bigger than Eisenhower.
00:20:45.720 And we've crunched the numbers on that.
00:20:47.420 He's got a ways to go, but he can get there.
00:20:49.400 And he will get there if he stops listening to these feckless losers.
00:20:53.000 I'll tell you what General Eisenhower would have done.
00:20:55.620 He, in his own writings of his own Border Patrol that I've published about, would encircle
00:21:00.220 the area and go and mop it up.
00:21:02.320 No more onesie twosies.
00:21:04.000 Like you've said, this needs to be whole government.
00:21:06.660 You establish the perimeter and you march inwards.
00:21:09.100 Get guys like Eric Prince involved.
00:21:10.900 People who know what they're doing and surge, surge, surge.
00:21:14.140 Do not deescalate just because the left has escalated.
00:21:17.780 That's not how this works.
00:21:18.780 Eric, let me bring you into the conversation with the mic.
00:21:24.860 Eric, you've seen this before.
00:21:26.300 I mean, you're one of the ones that thought that the whole situation, how we had to handle
00:21:29.780 the worst days in Baghdad, right?
00:21:32.620 When Bush had gotten us in the same thing, you put American troops in there and then you
00:21:36.900 forget about them and think they're going to handle everything.
00:21:39.160 It doesn't work like that.
00:21:40.640 History shows you it doesn't work like that.
00:21:42.720 You actually presented a plan, I think nine months ago, that they made sure the president
00:21:47.240 never saw because you said this day is coming.
00:21:50.340 The convergence of the red-green alliance, the day is coming that this is going to happen.
00:21:54.480 And guess what?
00:21:55.040 There's going to be a stare down and they're waiting for us to back off to deescalate.
00:21:59.360 What was your plan and what do you think?
00:22:01.600 Is that plan operative today to sort this mess out in Minneapolis, sir?
00:22:06.560 Look, our plan was based on hitting significant numbers by the midterms, knowing that hard
00:22:15.960 things in politics generally have a limited lifespan.
00:22:21.220 Yes, it was submitted properly through all the channels of DHS.
00:22:25.640 It was ignored, sadly.
00:22:26.920 But we kind of realized having been around government contracting and around government
00:22:32.300 entities before, they can do some things really well, but they can't flex and bob and weave
00:22:39.000 and it's hard for them to innovate.
00:22:40.840 And so we had a comprehensive plan that included a lot of open source available cell phone data
00:22:48.800 to figure out who is likely the illegal.
00:22:52.480 Cross that with a government database search to get you really good targeting information
00:22:59.220 with lots of apprehension teams, including motivating state and local law enforcement
00:23:06.660 with a very considerable bounty program.
00:23:10.340 It's much cheaper to pay bounties to officers on duty or off duty to bring in more illegals
00:23:17.200 than it is to even hire more full-time ICE agents, especially when these people know their
00:23:22.320 communities, they know the neighborhoods, and they know who doesn't belong.
00:23:27.360 And then you get to the administrative process, the magistrate process, where we were going
00:23:32.320 to use some basically large stadiums to do the administrative hearings, since they're all
00:23:38.480 entitled to some sort of legal process, to do that at industrial scale, to be able to hit
00:23:44.220 the hundreds of thousands or tens of millions per year that the president really needs to hit
00:23:50.100 to make good on his campaign commitment.
00:23:52.660 Sadly, that has not been done.
00:23:55.280 There's one thing.
00:23:56.780 I mean, now that they've attracted all the attention in Minneapolis, probably not the place
00:24:03.240 I would have chosen in terms of a hard target with extremely unfriendly local governments,
00:24:12.040 other places to show big successes.
00:24:14.480 But the fact is, Treasury can do a lot more by making it impossible for any illegal that's
00:24:22.800 here to be banking and to rent houses to them.
00:24:27.900 And you up the penalties or you up the...
00:24:31.000 Even if you went to banks and said, you can either seize these bank accounts that you've
00:24:37.280 identified as illegal, or we're going to find the hell out of you, you'll even get bank
00:24:43.260 compliance officers instead of them harassing American citizens.
00:24:45.600 Don't find them.
00:24:46.360 Shut them down.
00:24:47.020 Hey, they debanked.
00:24:48.280 It was very simple for them to debank all of MAGA and all of J6.
00:24:52.780 You go to them and say, hey, real simple.
00:24:54.200 Here's the accounts.
00:24:55.520 You shut them down.
00:24:56.340 Exactly.
00:24:56.900 You shut them down or we're putting you out of business.
00:24:58.780 You're shutting you down.
00:24:59.920 Real quickly, because I'm going to hold you in hell.
00:25:03.640 You've got two things.
00:25:04.520 You have the illegal alien invaders, right?
00:25:06.500 You've got the criminals at House, and you're going to triage those.
00:25:09.880 But it's just not the criminals.
00:25:11.740 And you've got to get to the businesses.
00:25:13.300 But you've also got the insurrectionists.
00:25:16.120 Now, you do have a...
00:25:17.120 Part of this is the credential class, right?
00:25:19.260 That always wants to stick their mouth in everything, these Democratic Party activists.
00:25:22.960 But that's not the problem here.
00:25:25.140 The problem is hardcore, black bloc, Antifa, insurrectionists, revolutionaries that are out
00:25:31.220 there.
00:25:31.400 It's like Fallujah.
00:25:32.260 They're the Chechens.
00:25:33.380 They've all come in.
00:25:34.900 Don't you just go and round them all up, round them all up, take them to a high school
00:25:39.460 gym, take the credential class, the beta males and all the mouthy Karens and send them
00:25:45.480 home.
00:25:45.960 Let them go home with their whistles.
00:25:47.660 But the rest of the guys right there, you just have drumhead.
00:25:51.220 You pull guys in.
00:25:52.420 We just have drumhead trials.
00:25:53.740 And boom, we just send them to the clink right away under emergency measures.
00:25:59.260 Certainly an option.
00:26:04.200 This is a perfect opportunity to expose Cuban subversion that they've been organizing in
00:26:10.940 America for decades.
00:26:12.060 You even see it in that big signal chat when some of those people are talking about escaping
00:26:17.420 to Cuba.
00:26:19.080 There's a reason for that.
00:26:20.220 The Cuban Communist Party has been actively infiltrating and screwing up our society for
00:26:27.860 decades.
00:26:28.540 It's time to pay them back.
00:26:30.920 Pull the string on those threads.
00:26:33.900 And you can certainly, you know, if they're going to try people for far violations in the
00:26:40.500 last administration, there's a lot of ways to try them as foreign agents acting on behalf
00:26:46.300 of a foreign communist government here in America.
00:26:51.720 I love that.
00:26:53.080 Eric Prince, hang on for a second.
00:26:55.600 Mike, I'll hang on.
00:26:56.800 We're going to be joining some other people where you get Eric's thoughts also about the
00:27:01.620 gathering storm around Tehran.
00:27:03.680 Let me be blunt.
00:27:05.460 Tehran ain't the problem.
00:27:09.080 The group over there and, hey, maybe there's 5,000 dead.
00:27:12.560 Maybe there's 10,000 dead.
00:27:13.500 I have no earthy idea.
00:27:14.500 But remember, that's the same crowd or it's the children of the same crowd that threw
00:27:19.160 us out 50 years ago.
00:27:21.380 They're Muslims.
00:27:22.480 They brought on a Muslim Islamic Republic themselves.
00:27:27.220 It's their issue to deal with.
00:27:29.820 We should cut them off.
00:27:30.780 We should cut the mullahs off of every, as we've had, to bring them to their knees economically
00:27:34.900 so they can't trade with the world.
00:27:36.360 You sanction them.
00:27:37.500 You also stop the oil, which we've done in Venezuela so perfectly.
00:27:41.880 You stop the oil from going outside the Straits of Hormuz to the North Arabian Sea, across
00:27:47.000 the Indian Ocean, past Diego Garcia, to the Straits of Malacca, South China Sea, to China.
00:27:52.600 You cut them off of all cash.
00:27:54.280 But the focus in the National Security Council in the next couple of days should be on the
00:28:00.500 revolution by these insurrectionists you have on the streets of Minneapolis.
00:28:06.980 Because guess what?
00:28:08.340 We have communists there.
00:28:09.800 We have Marxists there.
00:28:11.300 We have jihadists there that are trying to take down the American Republic from inside the
00:28:17.640 American Republic.
00:28:18.860 Short commercial break.
00:28:19.820 Back with Hal and Prince.
00:28:22.640 Is that Hal's Prince?
00:28:24.180 Not bad.
00:28:25.200 Back in a moment.
00:28:26.120 Do you owe back taxes or haven't filled in years?
00:28:32.060 Now is the time to resolve your tax matters.
00:28:35.040 When the national conversation around abolishing the income tax system, the IRS is fighting back
00:28:39.980 and proving it's here to stay by becoming more aggressive than ever before.
00:28:45.140 They're sending out more collection notices, filing more tax liens, and collecting billions
00:28:50.100 more than in recent years.
00:28:51.880 If you owe, the IRS can garnish your wages, levy your bank accounts, seize your retirement,
00:28:57.920 even your home.
00:28:59.100 If you owe or haven't filed, it's not a question that the IRS will act.
00:29:03.840 It's when the IRS will act.
00:29:06.720 Now right now, Tax Network USA is offering a completely free IRS research and discovery call

00:29:31.280 money.
00:29:32.260 They are not on your side.

00:30:20.900 Act today.
00:30:24.220 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:30:26.320 Bannon.
00:30:26.700 So, Mike, how the president has, being the president of all the people, he's had conversations
00:30:34.880 with, um, with the governor, with Walls and the mayor, Frye.
00:30:39.340 He has sent Holman, a safe pair of hands, Tom Holman, who's hard as nails, Ford deployed
00:30:45.140 him to Minneapolis.
00:30:47.340 I know they have other people.
00:30:48.680 I think the FBI is sending people, DOJ, Treasury, all of it.
00:30:52.020 So now they're taking a whole of government approach on the ground with boots on the ground.
00:30:55.600 Bovino is out, is going back to El Centro, but we'll deal with that later.
00:31:00.760 Uh, and, and Walls, after the president's tried to not to try to accommodate, try to maybe
00:31:05.920 take the temperature down, these guys do what they always do because they're Marxist.
00:31:10.440 They're the enemies of this country, or they would not have allowed this to happen.
00:31:15.020 And president Trump's true social right there is saying, Hey, I want to remind Frye who just
00:31:19.800 said publicly that they're not going to enforce immigration laws in the city of Minneapolis.
00:31:25.040 In other words, he's a sanctuary city and the president of the United States can go shove
00:31:28.680 it right.
00:31:30.220 As the commander in chief and the chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer, as article
00:31:34.340 two tells us of the constitution, president Trump says you're playing with fire and
00:31:40.360 you're breaking the law.
00:31:41.960 There we are right there.
00:31:42.680 Thank you, Denver.
00:31:44.200 Uh, Mike, how what is your recommendation?
00:31:46.600 If you got a couple of minutes in the oval today to have a cup of coffee with the president,
00:31:49.860 what would be your recommendation to president Trump?
00:31:52.700 I'd say, Mr.
00:31:54.160 President, give a national address where you're announcing that we are now shifting into phase
00:31:59.340 two of your campaign promise to carry out the largest deportation operation in history,
00:32:04.100 which you will meet and you have to, and you're going to do it because your central
00:32:08.640 feature is keeping your promises.
00:32:10.960 So let's help you keep that one.
00:32:12.840 Uh, you're going to acknowledge that two things kind of got us into these low numbers.
00:32:16.720 One is the DHS mass communications without mass deportations.
00:32:20.960 They've needlessly been doing Democrat propaganda for them without falling through on getting big
00:32:25.920 numbers that that comes to an end.
00:32:27.880 Uh, issue number two is a lot of people said, we're going to do the worst of the worst first
00:32:32.060 criminals, right?
00:32:33.280 Republicans took that and the pollsters, the consultants, and the Democrats to mean that's
00:32:37.700 all you're allowed to do.
00:32:39.180 Well, you say that stage is over.
00:32:40.920 We got enough criminals.
00:32:42.200 We are opening the aperture of enforcement broadly to everybody.
00:32:46.720 We don't care if you're a criminal.
00:32:48.900 We care if you're here illegally.
00:32:50.320 We leave the criminals for other law enforcement entities.
00:32:52.960 And so you say, I'm going to be maniacally focused on the numbers, getting commas in the
00:32:58.280 deportation numbers, to get them into the millions, going off like a jackpot machine in Las Vegas.
00:33:03.980 And to accomplish that, this is going to be a whole of government exercise.
00:33:07.840 I'm going to creatively apply every lever the federal government has.
00:33:11.520 I'm going to charge every military age male, a legal alien in the United States for failing
00:33:16.000 to register for the draft and give them an option to go to prison for five years or take
00:33:20.600 a flight home.
00:33:21.520 I'm going to bring in Eric Prince to do things like the bounty program for people to rat them
00:33:26.360 out, or if the others don't, if they want to leave, we're going to get you paid to leave.
00:33:30.500 I'm going to send OSHA inspectors in to look at worksite conditions that may employ illegals.
00:33:36.460 By the way, also corporate industry, your amnesty for not enforcing worksite is over.
00:33:41.900 We're going in, so tell them to get out before we get there.
00:33:45.180 Finally, politically, I understand that there was a jailbreak of rhinos, senators, and congressmen.
00:33:51.360 I'm not going to tolerate that.
00:33:52.580 Congressman Mike Lawler, your endorsement is revoked for pushing the amnesty at this
00:33:56.620 moment, trying to take advantage of this time and join it with the Democrats.
00:34:00.580 And I'm going to go down the line and say, no, America first is what we promised.
00:34:04.800 And damn well, we're going to implement it.
00:34:06.920 And I don't care if CNN doesn't like it.
00:34:08.820 I don't care if the rhinos don't like it.
00:34:10.600 We got a country to save.
00:34:12.000 And damn it, I'm going to do it.
00:34:15.280 Mike, how can people follow you, social media and other websites, sir?
00:34:19.720 Yep, I'm on X at mhow tweets and oversight projects at it's your government.
00:34:27.480 Mike, how thank you.
00:34:28.840 Thank you, sir, for putting clarity into this.
00:34:32.340 Eric Prince.
00:34:35.300 Thoughts.
00:34:36.020 Where do we go from here?
00:34:37.760 People have I think of the president.
00:34:39.480 If he had gotten access to your ideas months ago, we wouldn't be in this situation.
00:34:43.560 But we are where we are.
00:34:45.060 We had tough situations in Iraq.
00:34:46.980 We had tough situations in Afghanistan and other places.
00:34:49.720 We work through it.
00:34:50.380 We can work through this.
00:34:51.240 You see, the president already is having a belly full.
00:34:54.480 He's tried to, you know, meet the moment.
00:34:58.220 He's tried to accommodate and listen to Fry and listen to Walls.
00:35:02.680 But you've seen these guys before.
00:35:04.400 You know how the Marxists are.
00:35:05.380 They're going to tell you everything to your face you want to hear.
00:35:07.380 We'll work together.
00:35:08.220 We'll do everything.
00:35:08.900 And then when he gets on, you know, public radio or does his press conference, he says,
00:35:13.580 hey, we're not going to enforce any immigration laws.
00:35:17.240 We just don't do that.
00:35:18.100 We're a sanctuary city.
00:35:19.340 And the president goes, you're playing with fire.
00:35:20.960 You're damn right.
00:35:21.600 He's playing with fire.
00:35:23.220 And Fry and these guys need to be taught a lesson.
00:35:26.380 And they need to be taught a lesson with the steely resolve that President Trump is known for.
00:35:31.720 Eric Prince.
00:35:32.320 Waltz and Fry are using the Schitt's method to show interest, then stall.
00:35:38.960 And they figure if they placate him, tell him what he wants to hear, he's not going to hold them to it.
00:35:45.520 The other thing I would add to what Mike was saying, all his good points, is to go after the banking of anyone that's here illegally.
00:35:53.880 You can sick the compliance officers of all these banks.
00:35:58.840 Instead of them going after American citizens, they can actually debank.
00:36:03.160 And they can be incentivized to do so.
00:36:04.920 That the bank either pays an enormous fine for banking illegals or they seize those accounts, alert DHS, and the money, part of that money that's been here accumulated while working illegally,
00:36:22.120 can be repatriated to those people once they're back in the country after they pay an exit tax for leaving the United States.
00:36:29.380 These are the things, the whole-of-government things, that the president must do if he's going to hit the kind of numbers that he campaigned on that we need to do to preserve our republic.
00:36:40.200 The Democrats are all about flooding the world.
00:36:41.800 Look, I'm a big...
00:36:42.680 They've admitted that.
00:36:43.900 This is their business model.
00:36:45.100 They've admitted that to stack the decks, to steal elections.
00:36:48.080 Those are their voters.
00:36:48.820 If this doesn't happen, again, this gets solved at the ballot box or it gets solved with a cartridge box.
00:36:56.660 This is the law and order, rule of law way to solve this.
00:37:01.160 And if not, it's going to get solved other ways that people cannot even imagine.
00:37:09.280 CIS reports, they did the back of the envelope, over 2 million illegal alien invaders self-deported.
00:37:15.140 They went home because things got too tough in places like L.A., because of President Trump's surge.
00:37:21.600 We can get not just numbers officially with bounties and others, but unofficially, they're going to start leaving.
00:37:27.520 When life gets too tough, right?
00:37:29.740 When they can't, you know, leech off the United States or America and they have to go, you know, they're going to look at an alternative.
00:37:36.240 Let me just get out of here, right?
00:37:37.900 When they can't rent housing, vehicles, employment, when they can't bank, it's going to start drying up anywhere that they actually have sanctuary.
00:37:52.980 Whether the Dems like it or not, there is a lot.
00:37:55.480 I mean, look, in the Middle East, they take immigration extremely seriously.
00:38:00.560 You have to show proof of residency for pretty much anything you do, whether you're renting a car, renting a house, an apartment, a dwelling, bank accounts, all of that.
00:38:10.920 That's very, very basic rule of law stuff.
00:38:13.700 Do that and we win.
00:38:17.160 The CCP has, I think, a 15% or 17% implosion in birth rate.
00:38:22.080 They're not, you can't go there.
00:38:23.600 You can't go there and say, hey, I think I want to be a citizen.
00:38:26.500 It doesn't work like that and they're in Japan.
00:38:28.040 Hang over a second because I've got time constraints.
00:38:30.640 Sam, give me two minutes on this because you're an expert in the Red-Green Alliance.
00:38:34.740 Then I've got to get to Iran and Persia while I've got prints.
00:38:37.420 Eric's got to bounce for a meeting.
00:38:39.580 Give me two minutes on what you're seeing on this insurrection.
00:38:42.440 What is the advice of Sam Faddis to the president?
00:38:46.340 I would second everything that you have said and everybody else has said, right?
00:38:49.740 This would be a whole of government approach.
00:38:51.500 You shouldn't be able to have a job, have a bank account, buy a car, et cetera.
00:38:55.480 The other thing I would throw into the mix is this, Ice Watch and the affiliated groups nationwide.
00:39:02.380 These groups exist to impede and obstruct federal officers in the enforcement of a law.
00:39:09.400 That is a conspiracy.
00:39:11.420 That is a felony.
00:39:12.840 That's punishable by up to 20 years in jail.
00:39:16.420 So there shouldn't be anybody free who is organizing teams, vectoring them in on ICE, teaching people how to de-arrest, as they call it, which is physically intervene in this process.
00:39:31.180 All of that is a federal – those are all federal crimes.
00:39:34.580 So everybody that thinks it's cool to set this up, organize it, train these people, they ought to all be in custody, and this whole apparatus ought to be shut down.
00:39:45.060 When you were talking about us earlier just leaving these ICE guys to handle this one confrontation at a time on the street, that resonates with me.
00:39:55.320 Why are we doing that?
00:39:57.000 There are in Minneapolis at any one point in time something like – this is by the left's own admission – 4,000 to 5,000 trained people on the street in an organized fashion confronting ICE.
00:40:11.900 Wait, why are we allowing that to exist?
00:40:14.460 Every person who's part of that apparatus ought to be in custody.
00:40:17.960 Eric Prince, this is my point about the high school gym.
00:40:23.380 Pick up from what Faddis is saying.
00:40:25.260 This is part of the problem.
00:40:26.320 It's not just the mass of illegal aliens, but it's the mayor and the governor that won't send the police department, that has the – they have the National Guard doing a cultural revolution humiliation exercise to put them in the sanitation department yellow vests and make them hand out coffee and donuts to the ICE watch people.
00:40:44.640 That's done on purpose to humiliate them and to show the ICE watch people that you're senior here, you're superior.
00:40:51.900 Right there, they should have rolled up Waltz.
00:40:54.320 They should roll up, go in his office, kick down the door and drag him out.
00:40:57.860 Eric, your thoughts on what Sam Faddis just said?
00:41:00.980 In the settling of the American West, the Pinkerton Detective Agency had six times the amount of armed personnel as the U.S. Army.
00:41:08.760 There is all kinds of precedents for deputization of Pinkertons or other people working with and on the behest of federal law enforcement.
00:41:21.760 Lots of options for innovative law enforcement solutions to amplify the numbers of competent, trained people they could put in the field to overmatch.
00:41:32.820 It's sad, any resort to firearms in these cases is because they're not overmatched.
00:41:40.160 So if you have 3,000 to 5,000 trained, crazy leftist activists, fine.
00:41:46.460 Bring 5,000 properly trained law enforcement, military veteran professionals and kindly induce them to better behavior as deputized agents of the federal law enforcement.
00:42:00.560 This is not rocket science.
00:42:05.640 Sam, if we did your program, if the president followed your lead and did that program in the whole government, how long do you think it would be before we break the back of the black bloc, the black bloc, Antifa, professional insurrectionists, the overwhelming majority of these Ice Watch people, sir?
00:42:22.640 Almost overnight, Steve.
00:42:26.120 I mean, look, these guys operate on unencrypted, open channels, communicating, identifying the folks who are collecting the data, vectoring in these teams and doing all this stuff is not hard, right?
00:42:41.760 All you have to do is flip that switch.
00:42:45.480 It is no longer, you are no longer allowed to engage with impunity in a conspiracy to obstruct and impede federal law enforcement, which is black letter law, right?
00:42:59.080 There's no ambiguity here.
00:43:01.100 So you thought this was cool.
00:43:02.740 We now, we seized your funds, we seized your computers and you guys are all in jail and the comms are gone and the whole structure is gone.
00:43:10.860 Now, will that still leave some crazy people running around the street?
00:43:14.320 Yes, obviously.
00:43:15.360 But we'll transform this thing overnight from you having to pick these guys off individually.
00:43:22.640 Amen.
00:43:26.060 Okay, guys, hang on, because we're going to go from the streets of Minneapolis to the streets of Tehran, and we're going to talk about the logistics set up for this assault and the logic of it, or maybe the illogic of it.
00:43:36.360 We'll be back in a moment.
00:43:37.420 I want to tell you, remember, it's not the price of gold, although we started in this program at about $1,000.
00:43:43.280 Gold is now surging to almost $5,300 an ounce.
00:43:47.460 Silver's at $112 on the weakness of the dollar.
00:43:50.620 Gosh, we ever heard that before?
00:43:52.200 Oh, yeah, that's right.
00:43:53.440 The end of the dollar empire.

00:44:17.360 Sam Faddis, Eric Prince on the other side.
00:44:19.740 Let's take down the CCD.
00:44:22.880 Imagine having the world's most connected financial insider feeding you vital information.
00:44:28.800 The kind of information only a handful of people have access to.
00:44:33.300 And that could create a fortune for those who know what to do with it.

00:45:26.400 RickardsWarRoom.com.
00:45:28.120 Okay, the focus has to be on the streets of Minneapolis because we have an armed insurrection challenging the Trump administration and the entire American Republic because this is a combination of Marxist jihadists.
00:45:48.660 They're fighting to keep illegal alien invaders, including the hardened criminals here in your country because it's their business model.
00:45:57.480 They can't win elections unless they have illegal aliens voting or at least on some sort of role that you don't check the IDs.
00:46:05.580 It's quite open what the scam is.
00:46:07.560 Jesse Kelly magnificently said, hey, the Democrat price probably got 20 percent of the oligarchs.
00:46:12.820 You know, they get the wealthy, the credential class, and then this kind of proletariat underneath that they put on welfare, right, that has no shot.
00:46:20.580 So it's against the working class, Hispanics, blacks, white working class in the middle class.
00:46:25.300 That's the two sides here.
00:46:26.580 So what side are you on?
00:46:29.760 Eric Prince, but we're spending a lot of time and effort sending a carrier strike group to the North Arabian Sea.
00:46:39.100 As the audience knows, I was there for the first rodeo that didn't turn out particularly well.
00:46:44.240 A lot of changes since 1979 and 1980.
00:46:47.320 Sam Faddis knows.
00:46:48.120 He spent his career over there.
00:46:49.320 You spent so much time there.
00:46:52.580 We're pulling together an armada, although I think it's UAE, and I think he may be in the Saudis.
00:46:58.200 Definitely UAE saying, hey, look, you can't use our airspace.
00:47:00.580 We don't want any part of this right now.
00:47:02.980 Number one, why are we bringing all this hardware?
00:47:05.240 And number two, what is the strategic logic?
00:47:08.920 Because the people in, as we screw it down tighter economically, and we haven't gone all the way because we're still letting the oil get out, and the CCP give the mullahs cash because they are a partner with them.
00:47:20.600 And I realize there's maybe 510.
00:47:23.960 They're saying 30,000 every day the number goes up, right?
00:47:27.440 It's harder to get real numbers here than it is in Ukraine, about the Ukraine military, how many they've lost.
00:47:33.760 But if you decapitate, it's your problem.
00:47:39.040 These people brought this revolution on themselves.
00:47:41.600 These people are Muslims.
00:47:43.340 These people have brought on an Islamic republic.
00:47:46.140 I understand it didn't work out.
00:47:47.620 We told them that at the time.
00:47:49.200 It wasn't going to work out.
00:47:50.600 But it is what it is.
00:47:52.000 It's their responsibility to take care of it.
00:47:54.620 Eric Prinscher, thoughts on this?
00:47:57.580 There's a reason Iran does not have an Independence Day because they haven't been conquered or colonized.
00:48:03.980 They haven't had to get independence really since they were conquered by Alexander the Great 2,300 years ago.
00:48:12.480 The Zagros Mountains, the natural bull features the geography, not great for invasion.
00:48:17.920 I don't really know what the U.S. hopes to achieve by a big military show of force.
00:48:25.540 If they smash a bunch of targets inside of Iran, the question is, who actually takes over?
00:48:30.060 Iran has multi-layers of governance.
00:48:34.080 Sure, the top layer is an awful putrid one of a bunch of crazy mullahs, not loved by anyone, in fact, hated.
00:48:42.680 But the fact is, if you remove that, who actually takes over?
00:48:46.600 It's not going to be the Reza Pahlavi, the son of the Shah.
00:48:51.460 There is no other natural leader.
00:48:54.360 The protesters in the streets, yeah, some have been killed.
00:48:57.820 Don't know if it's 30,000 or if it's 3,000 or if it's 300.
00:49:01.460 Any number of that is terrible.
00:49:02.900 But not our problem.
00:49:05.460 It is not the primary responsibility of the United States.
00:49:07.900 And I do not want U.S. foreign policy dictated by what is good for Tel Aviv.
00:49:15.640 And I feel like the Iran issue keeps getting dragged back to the top of the focus.
00:49:23.320 I'm with you.
00:49:24.380 Let's deal with the communists in our own cities and clean that rot out before we worry about Iran exactly 8,000 miles away from the United States.
00:49:35.080 Now, President Trump has said that they've reached out to him and they're trying to figure something out.
00:49:39.560 President Trump has said this.
00:49:40.520 And also, Matt Boyle, I think it's JPL, that great polling that does a lot for the Daily Mail.
00:49:46.460 I think they did one that Breitbart reported exclusively to this morning.
00:49:51.160 I'll get Boyle on here tomorrow about the polling.
00:49:53.600 And it's like, I don't know, it's 50 percent of the American people say fine or, you know, fine.
00:49:59.000 I think it's combined below 50.
00:50:01.220 But the second question was, if there was one American casualty, what would your belief be?
00:50:06.720 And it drops down to like 16 percent.
00:50:09.060 And people theoretically, yeah, theoretically, they're bad guys, et cetera.
00:50:13.540 But go ahead, sir.
00:50:15.200 And that's the thing.
00:50:17.000 If you're going to put, if you're making this big flex of putting all these aircraft and weapon systems over Iran, the last time we did that, yes, apparently none were shot down.
00:50:29.360 If the enemy knows you're coming that much in advance.
00:50:33.420 Again, when the U.S. was bombing the Serbs, they even managed with a lucky shot to shoot down an F-117.
00:50:40.100 Became a huge POW and technology transfer problem.
00:50:46.140 Is it worth rolling that dice to bomb Iran again if there's if there's desire to support Iranian patriots to take back part of the country and to and to chew up the mullahs that way?
00:51:02.620 Fine. Other people can do that.
00:51:04.980 It does not have to be the responsibility of the United States.
00:51:09.100 The two expeditionary efforts under President Trump have been magnificent.
00:51:13.200 That is no question.
00:51:14.100 I mean, and I think if people knew the scale of these and the complexity, the end of the 12-day war was magnificent.
00:51:21.340 The operation in Venezuela, Eric, which you know, because you've thought that problem through, was pretty magnificent, wasn't it?
00:51:30.180 Although we did come very close, as everybody knows now, to losing a helicopter.
00:51:34.760 Very close.
00:51:35.200 It came extremely close.
00:51:36.360 It comes down to the lead pilot flying the lead Chinook, the guy who planned the mission.
00:51:41.160 And as he's on the way in, right, cyclic and collective and throttle, he's flying the helicopter.
00:51:46.640 His right leg takes three rounds, smashes the bone, can't run the pedals.
00:51:53.320 He can't turn the helicopter over to his co-pilot because his controls have been shot up.
00:51:57.300 So the co-pilot runs the pedals, the pilot in charge, still running the cyclic and collective.
00:52:02.560 He doesn't crash.
00:52:03.840 He doesn't freak out.
00:52:04.880 He gets the guys into the LZ.
00:52:07.160 And so instead of a Chinook down scenario with 30 dead, they finished the mission.
00:52:13.320 So they were about 30 seconds and one, a cockpit full of balls that got that mission done.
00:52:22.100 That was a very, very close dice throw.
00:52:25.980 Eric, we've got to bounce.
00:52:27.160 Just send us to the site for the phone, and I'll make the pitch next year.
