Transcript
00:00:12.000
I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:20.000
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:24.000
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:29.000
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:34.600
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:38.360
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:52.840
It's Saturday, 13 June in the year of our Lord, 2026.
00:01:02.240
We're actually going to open in El Paso, Texas,
00:01:04.820
with Ben Burquam at the wall, the one that we built back in 2019
00:01:11.260
Actually, the best mile of wall, I guess, three-quarters of a mile ever built.
00:01:16.240
We were going to be there with Ben, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed,
00:01:20.340
We got Ben Burquam, but Ben went on a night patrol last night.
00:01:24.320
Ben Burkwam join us and a packed Saturday morning here in the war room brother we want to start up
00:01:32.000
on on the top of that ridge right below what is it Mount Cristo right right right right below where
00:01:37.100
the flags are the flagpoles that beautiful kind of platform that Brian Colfage and the team built
00:01:43.220

00:01:50.560
in fact we got you on early last night that'd be nice that was the plan that was the plan on
00:01:55.780
that was the plan you we got you on early in the show yesterday so you could continue the five-hour
00:02:00.740
drive from from Big Bend Texas to uh to El Paso so we could open the show with that
00:02:07.360
but we're not there where are we opening the show this morning and and and what happened
00:02:11.600
last night on your night patrol yeah that that turned into 13 hours of fun uh so I'm in no man's
00:02:18.280
land texas uh i'm in my truck right now slept in the truck uh there's this part i'm about 30 feet
00:02:25.780
away from the the border i could throw a rock into the border but i'll just kind of show you
00:02:30.700
uh just a little little like set the scene these are my these are my boots these are my my shoes
00:02:36.340
to give you an idea of what i was dealing with so i came down here because this is a stretch
00:02:41.020
uh we call it no man's land uh it's basically very few law enforcement very few border patrol
00:02:48.400
it's it's pretty much just rugged dirt road uh that turns to really nasty clay mud this time of
00:02:54.760
year sometimes and unfortunately i got stuck in it i was out here um across several illegal alien
00:03:01.860
trails actually on the way out here as i left town on this gravel road let me just get out of
00:03:06.120
the truck by the way thank god you're going to spend a night on the border you got to have your
00:03:12.320
my pillow hold it hold it promo code we're actually going to promo code it's not promo
00:03:18.740
code frontline promo code war room because you can continue on mike lindell would love it a
00:03:23.980
marketing pitch yes that might that might that might that might my pellet comes in handy doesn't
00:03:30.080
it it does man it does it's a lifesaver uh by the way don't drink this gatorade i'm just telling
00:03:35.400
that right now um the uh you gotta have your patriot mobile hat too and your patriot mobile
00:03:39.940
phone all right so let me get out of here whoa so this is where i'm at currently holy hang on
00:03:48.660
hang on hold it pull it oh my lord so i tried i just just give you an idea of uh and i don't
00:03:57.320
want to stay out here too long because the mosquitoes are i've got like a thousand bites
00:04:01.020
on me. But, um, so I got, I'm about, I don't know, six feet away from getting up to a place
00:04:06.940
where I could get out. But the problem is this goes on for another half mile. I didn't learn
00:04:11.380
until afterwards when I started doing some recon that there's actually a bypass road around here,
00:04:16.900
but it says private property, keep out. I learned that that's, uh, that only the locals know that
00:04:23.220
you use that road when this happens. So I got to, I got to here, I have a four wheel drive.
00:04:28.120
I grew up in the country I you know I know how to deal with these situations I came in over here
00:04:34.500
you can kind of see down that way and I got I was pushing it you got to come in fast I got up to
00:04:40.560
about here and I was just I mean literally a couple feet from popping out and that's it and
00:04:45.840
I spent about four hours so I started with no shovel I hiked about two miles around found these
00:04:53.260
some of the wood the two by fours and stuff to shim under the the wheels hoping that that would
00:04:58.060
loosen it up a bit uh that didn't do it so then I ended up walking about four miles back to a
00:05:03.320
little village found a guy named Juan and I I borrowed a shovel from him and I spent the next
00:05:10.800
couple hours digging in the clay that didn't work so now I've got another guy with a four-wheel
1.00
00:05:17.860
drive that's going to be coming down with his son in a couple hours so but that's Mexico that
00:05:23.020
rock right there that's mexico right there so this is anyways that that was my night but ben hang on
00:05:29.840
i want to make sure people understand this this is one of the reasons ben's going to be deployed
00:05:34.580
back to the border for a while because it's never over i mean as strong as president trump has come
00:05:40.300
in here and building the wall and we've got you know it's down to nothing they're they're they
00:05:45.980
are gathering on the northern border of mexico and at the first inkling that the american government
00:05:52.040
is. Ben, you can jump back in. Jump back in the car. I don't want you to get eaten alive by
00:05:56.080
mosquitoes. What that shows is, listen, the people that want to come here want to come here.
00:06:08.300
Right there, that is no man's land. It's one of the reasons we don't have border patrol. It's one
00:06:11.800
of the reasons we don't have wall built down there in that sector. But those people will risk
00:06:18.760
that to come through there my point is that the the gravitational pull of american jobs in the
00:06:24.800
american lifestyle and of course uh all the all the freebies the government will still give them
00:06:29.880
is is a huge gravitational pull and and people will you know think about if you didn't even have
00:06:36.160
the truck just having to do that on foot where the coyotes oftentimes will just cut you loose and say
00:06:40.720
hey there's a village four miles down the road i hope you find it right 50 they'll go they'll go
00:06:47.580
these guys will go 50 miles so what i'm i mean i i actually felt the lord tell me that last night
00:06:52.680
just say you know thank be thankful for what you got uh i i got a truck that's got plenty of gas
00:06:58.800
that had ac in it all night i got plenty of water what the illegals are doing is that so that's a
00:07:04.640
that mountain is in mexico right there they'll come over that mountain and then they'll go up
00:07:10.500
stuff like this for 50 miles and they'll be sleeping i you know i got to get in my truck i
00:07:16.580
had to kill about 100 mosquitoes when i got my truck but i i got to sleep they'll be sleeping
00:07:22.720
out here in the scorpions and everything else the coyotes don't care at all about them now granted
00:07:28.880
they're coming in illegally uh they shouldn't be here but it is to like to see what they go through
00:07:34.980
and you think about who's who are the people that are going to be coming this way like who would
00:07:40.260
who would put themselves in that situation and i mean clearly the answer is someone who's
00:07:44.480
incredibly desperate either you know desperate to get out of where they're at or desperate because
00:07:50.100
they know if they get caught uh they've got bad intentions for this country or they've
00:07:54.020
been deported many times before we we've never we've never we've never demonized these people
0.61
00:08:00.060
that do it it's the people that the cartels that make it happen the mexican government
00:08:03.660
the biden administration that opened the door and said come on in ngo ngo's are the worst
00:08:09.520
the people are making bank off of this they're making money jump uh ben jump back in your truck
00:08:15.260
i'm gonna go to cortez i'm gonna talk about some polling so cortez uh it's i this actually worked
00:08:21.120
out perfectly you've actually done some some um and you spent so much time down the rear grand
00:08:26.840
valley and you were one of the first ones you talked about this years ago when we sat there
00:08:30.140
and go hey because i'd spent time down there we launched bright bar texas years ago that these
00:08:34.980
folks are hard-working hispanic american citizens and they are they're the ones at the front line
00:08:41.180
getting crushed by the illegal aliens coming coming across and we're seeing it building up
00:08:46.020
again and that's what i keep telling you as great a job as president trump has done the apparatus
00:08:51.120
the system itself wants the illegal aliens and you can see from what the system did with not
00:08:57.180
taking the Pulte as DNI and getting rid of Tulsi Gabbard and confirming Jay Clayton in five days.
00:09:08.780
When the system wants something, the system's going to get it. Tell me what, you've been doing
00:09:13.020
some polling of these Hispanic Americans, and because everybody's running around, you can't
00:09:17.600
mass deportation, you can't do this because the Hispanic Americans in the country hate it,
00:09:21.940
and they flipped on Trump. Your thoughts, sir? Yes. So listen, I just did a national poll
00:09:26.400
of Hispanics. I believe it's very revealing, and I think it's mostly good news. It's not all good
1.00
00:09:31.760
news. Hispanics are upset with Trump. They're upset with the Republican Party. They're upset
00:09:36.060
with the economy right now. But the really good news is they agree with the immigration agenda of
1.00
00:09:41.820
America first. And what we're showing right there, I think, is the key question that I ask. This is
00:09:46.180
a national survey of Hispanics. And again, I'm not stacking the deck here. This was not overall
00:09:52.260
a pro-Trump, pro-Republican poll. However, when we say what concerns you more, high prices and
00:09:58.680
the cost of living or ICE and immigration enforcement, as you can see right there,
00:10:03.120
73% to only 19%. So fewer than one in five Hispanics in our poll say that what concerns
00:10:11.060
them more is ICE and immigration enforcement. Instead, we get almost two-thirds, excuse me,
00:10:17.120
almost three-quarters of Hispanics telling us that what concerns them are high prices. Hispanics
0.51
00:10:22.180
Steve overwhelmingly statistically are working class people. That's just who they are,
00:10:26.960
who we are demographically in this country. So inflation disproportionately harms Hispanic
00:10:32.320
Americans. They are angry about it. And immigration is just not high on their priority list. Now,
00:10:38.060
if you listen to D.C. Republicans, if you listen to the so-called experts, to the establishment
00:10:42.180
Republicans, they're all telling us, no, we're losing Hispanics because of immigration. My poll
00:10:46.720
shows by the numbers, by the data, that that just is not true. It's the economy that they're mad
00:10:52.460
about. And again, they are irritated, but it's not because of immigration. And by the way, Steve,
00:10:56.720
as you well know, these two issues are inextricably linked. How do we best get,
00:11:00.860
how do we in the quickest form get to higher pay for working class Americans, including a lot of
00:11:05.760
Latinos? It's immigration enforcement, right? It's making sure that illegals are not coming in.
0.96
00:11:10.480
They're not competing in the labor market against American citizens. And even more than that,
0.80
00:11:14.040
I believe. It's also getting rid of legal American foreigners who are working in this country,
1.00
00:11:19.320
legal immigrants coming to this country on work visas. The more we restrict that flow,
0.96
00:11:23.780
the better life is going to be for all American citizens, including a lot of Latinos.
1.00
00:11:29.240
You know, and the double whammy that's coming, and this is the case we've got to make to the
00:11:33.860
Hispanics and to Latinos, is that what the Democrats taking back over, now you're going
00:11:39.460
to get the out of control spending. Spending is bad enough right now, but the out of control
00:11:43.020
spending that fuels inflation also supply chain problems uh supply side problems because they're
00:11:48.660
not supply side in any type of tax tax cuts or incentives and they're not interested in bringing
00:11:52.800
manufacturing jobs back plus they're all set to open the borders again this is the people have
00:11:57.940
to understand you know at louis the 14th said this uh after me the deluge after trump the deluge
00:12:03.820
they understand president trump is a guy with his finger in the dike but the entire system is trying
00:12:09.280
to work, not just to destroy Trump, but this is one of their number one priorities. They want to
00:12:14.300
go back to open borders and back to flooding the zone because it's bigger consumer markets,
00:12:19.100
right? More consumers here to spend. And also they drive wages down. Steve Cortez.
00:12:26.340
Yeah, you're exactly right. And look, this is capital. What does capital really want? It wants
00:12:30.240
cheap labor, right? That's what capital wants in this country. And for too long,
0.98
00:12:34.180
our country, our culture, our politics, our economy have been dominated by the demands of
00:12:40.000
capital from the very highest levels. And the oligarchs want a continual flow of cheap labor
00:12:44.980
into this country. But that has been miserable. It has eviscerated the middle class of this
00:12:49.460
country, which includes a lot of hardworking Hispanic citizens. And again, what they tell us
0.98
00:12:54.240
in this poll, I mean, let's listen to them. Let's actually ask the questions in a scientific way,
00:12:58.460
which I did. And let's listen to them. What are they angry about? And again, they're angry right
00:13:03.180
now. Okay, that's reality. We have to face reality. Reality is they're angry. They're angry
00:13:07.240
about the economy and specifically about prices. They're not angry about immigration enforcement.
00:13:13.200
As a matter of fact, they fully, in my poll, by the way, when I describe the Trump immigration
00:13:18.180
policy, which is offering incentives to illegal immigrants, and if they don't take those generous
00:13:22.980
incentives, the American people are being very generous with the legals. When they don't take
00:13:26.680
those generous incentives that they then get removed, overwhelming Hispanic support, overwhelming
00:13:31.160
for that policy when it's properly described to them.
00:13:35.340
A lot of Hispanics don't even know that that is actually a U.S. policy.
0.75
00:13:38.280
Because if you're a legal citizen of this country, Steve,
00:13:40.220
if you're a legal Hispanic citizen in the United States, guess what?
00:13:47.700
They do in a lot of the salons of Georgetown where Republican big shots
00:13:51.720
try to tell us, oh, this is our problem with Latinos.
00:13:53.820
When you actually go and meet Latinos in places like the Rio Grande Valley,
0.61
00:13:57.220
you figure out that, number one, they don't like illegal immigration
0.98
00:14:02.000
But for most citizens, again, this is just not top of mind.
00:14:09.400
That's what's bothering Hispanics right now.
1.00
00:14:17.380
for bad hombres and proud Latinas out there.
0.97
00:14:21.920
We got it in record number, record fashion in 2024.
00:14:25.640
We can do it again, but it takes a good economy to do it.
00:14:28.260
Steve, hang on. We're holding you to the next block. Ben Burkham's on the border.
00:14:33.220
POSO's coming on. Eric Metaxas, Joe Allen. Huge, huge development last night.
00:14:38.940
Right when we went off the air, the government, yes, the United States government,
00:14:43.200
restricted Anthropics' new model from having any access for folks overseas.
00:14:48.880
And it was not voluntary. It was mandatory. A big move by the White House.
00:14:54.720
We're going to get into all of that this morning. Only in the war room.
00:14:58.260
buy gold and put some silver in your pocket i know what you're thinking everything's expensive
00:15:05.980
right now how am i gonna buy gold pull your head out of the sand one thing you can control right
00:15:11.660
now that doesn't cost you anything out of pocket is diversifying your retirement savings birch gold
00:15:18.160
group will help you convert an old 401k from a previous employer or an ira into a physical gold
00:15:26.180
IRA. Let me repeat that. Birch Gold will help you now convert an old 401k from a previous employer
00:15:33.280
or an IRA into a physical IRA in gold. You know, something that's a hedge against inflation. Listen
00:15:41.740
to this right now. Birch Gold is going to give you a special America 250, one ounce silver round
00:15:48.440
for every $10,000 you purchase by July 10th. Let me repeat this. With every $10,000 purchase,
00:15:56.080
you get a free one ounce silver round America 250 commemoration, a special. Think about this.
00:16:02.960
10 years ago, an ounce of gold was about $1,200. Today, it's around $4,500. Where will it be in
00:16:10.780
10 years from now? Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, 989898 to take advantage of free America 250 silver
00:16:18.780
with qualifying purchase before the 10th of July. Again, text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N,
00:16:31.980
With qualifying purchases, you get a silver round,
00:16:46.620
Steve, you tapped into this populist movement in 2016.
00:16:51.600
You understood it long before after a very successful career.
00:16:54.700
in the finance world. You got this anger. How did Democrats co-opt it?
00:17:02.880
Yeah. Well, first of all, I don't think they are going to successfully co-opt it. But I think that
00:17:06.960
you make an important point here, which is that populism is not a fad, right? Populism is a
00:17:11.680
systemic shift in the United States because the working class masses believe that they have been
00:17:17.240
cheated. And I think understandably believe they've been cheated by a largely crooked system.
00:17:21.420
So to me, it's either going to be populism of the left, which I view as ugly and even violent, or it's going to be the populism of the right, which is patriotic and tradition-loving.
00:17:32.340
But the key here, I think, Leland, is the difference between prior eras of American history.
00:17:36.840
Middle-class Americans did not resent the wealthy because they overwhelmingly believed that they at least had a shot to get there themselves.
00:17:44.340
That belief is not widely shared now in today's society.
00:17:50.160
OK, well, but I don't sound like Bernie Sanders when I say one of the answers then, by the way, is to pause immigration, pause even legal immigration so that American workers make more money so that we raise the pay.
00:18:01.600
So that is not Bernie Sanders like at all in that case.
00:18:05.620
But the other aspect, Leland, is concurrent with this globalization has been an over financialization of our economy.
00:18:11.960
And I say this as a guy who traded bonds for 25 years on Wall Street.
00:18:14.720
But look, the titans of high finance and the titans of tech, and they're often deeply intertwined, have a concentration of wealth now that is simply unmatched in all of American history.
0.99
00:18:25.900
And on top of that, a lot of these elites, Leland, they're just garbage people, quite frankly.
0.99
00:18:31.380
They don't have any sense of altruism, any sense of responsibility to this country that has allowed them to become so fabulously successful.
00:18:38.140
well. You know, if you look at the so-called robber barons, I think they were 10 times more
00:18:41.960
altruistic and patriotic than any of the tech titans. You know, and Leland's one of the smarter
00:18:48.300
of these hosts, and I really like him. But they've all fallen into that trap. Oh, you guys sound
00:18:56.860
like Bernie. No, no, no, no. You have populism on the left, populism on the right. The populism
00:19:01.120
is the right. Number one, we're capitalists. What we want to see is a system called capitalism.
00:19:06.460
The problem we got now is we have a capitalist system with no capitalists.
00:19:09.940
We have a bunch of oligarchs and the concentration of the lords of easy money into a handful of people and maybe another concentric ring around that.
00:19:17.500
And Bernie, you're absolutely correct, Steve, about our sovereignty and our borders and in legal immigration, quote unquote, that scam and illegal immigration is the problem with the populace on the left.
00:19:28.260
Like Mondami, these guys, they're really not populace.
00:19:35.200
So when people say, oh, you guys are just like Bernie Sanders.
00:19:40.420
The future of politics in this country and what's going to save this republic is populist nationalism.
00:19:45.560
And I will tell you, the first couple of years since I met Cortez back in the early days, that first wave,
00:19:52.300
our movement's probably been a little more populist than nationalistic.
00:19:55.520
That's why I think people are now saying America first.
00:19:57.660
I keep telling people, we're going to go, this is going to get much more nationalistic as we go forward.
00:20:03.480
And I tell folks, hey, unless you meet the nationalist, you know, at least halfway or maybe even better, we're going to go to ultra-nationalism.
00:20:12.900
I see it come as clearly as I saw populist nationalism after the 2008 crash, right?
00:20:19.260
I see it now more than ever in something like yesterday's IPO, underwritten by Goldman Sachs, only makes me more so.
00:20:30.680
Yeah. And Steve, listen, I don't think I was exaggerating there on Leland's show when I said that one of the unfortunate realities is that we have a garbage elite in this country right now.
0.97
00:20:38.760
Now, every society has elites, right? It's just it's human nature. It's inevitable.
0.93
00:20:42.360
But for most of American history, we generally had elites.
00:20:46.300
We had ruling class people, power brokers in this country who generally cared about the people and felt that they had some obligation back to the country that allowed them to become so successful.
00:20:55.600
We generally do not have that now. We have garbage elites who are not altruistic, who are not philanthropic, who are not patriotic in any sense.
0.96
00:21:02.820
They are pure takers, and they have increasingly constructed a system that works very well for them and their version of crony capitalism.
0.98
00:21:10.780
It's really not even capitalism at all, but their cronyist system. And you're exactly correct.
00:21:15.340
But criticizing that doesn't make us Bernie Sanders, not by any stretch. We want Main Street entrepreneurial capitalism.
00:21:22.520
We want small businesses to thrive across this country.
00:21:26.460
We want distributivism, meaning we want the economic and political power of the country
00:21:33.720
It's a very Christian vision of humanity, of society.
00:21:38.200
That's what we're striving for in terms of our goals.
00:21:42.520
In subsidiarity, where the power and the decisions are made at the lowest level you possibly
00:21:50.620
every man a capitalist every man and woman a capitalist everybody's got a everybody's got a
00:21:54.800
piece of it if you have a piece of it in a capitalist system we're going to thrive you
00:21:59.460
talk about garbage elites and elites we've had and this is one of the things i hope we're learning
00:22:04.620
in the book revolution and as we celebrate and commemorate in the war room way uh the 250th is
00:22:10.900
that one i think the fundamental difference when you get about philosophy or the fundamental
00:22:16.580
difference in the American and French Revolution that happened at almost the exact same time
00:22:21.580
was that we had elites that in the revolutionary generation that had a concept of the republic
00:22:28.460
and were inextricably linked with the patriots. Remember, we just started with like a third,
00:22:33.940
with the patriots that actually stepped up and fought because people, the way we teach it today,
00:22:40.140
everybody thinks July 4th and the huge celebration is because we were just an independent nation. No,
00:22:45.560
that was a declaration of war that was the inciting incident you know politically that
00:22:51.240
started a long seven eight year uh revolutionary war that we had to win on the battlefield and as
00:22:56.580
i keep saying it wasn't really won until the battle of norleans it was really the british
00:23:01.180
essentially backed off after andrew jackson those guys on january 2nd of 1815 destroyed
00:23:08.580
wellington's part of wellington's army he sent here to the united states to put this thing down
00:23:12.840
because the british still thought it was theirs they thought they boxed us up on the on the on
00:23:17.040
the eastern seaboard with that treaty of paris and they were going to take it back we had to fight
00:23:21.800
for it it was a long 20 or 30 year struggle to fight for but the elites were on the battlefield
00:23:26.680
the elites were leading us in the french revolution what it evolved to in the aristocracy was wait for
0.98
00:23:32.600
it a garbage elite a garbage elite and that is what happens and hey i tell you if we continue
0.99
00:23:38.720
to defer to the to the oligarchs and to the garbage elite in this country it ends in revolution this
1.00
00:23:44.580
is why i go give these talks i tell these all the fat cats i say hey look it's very simple
0.98
00:23:48.240
you're going to have our revolution on one hand the populist nationalists right that the little
00:23:53.360
guy becomes part of the system becomes a part of capitalists are you going to have manjoni
00:23:57.920
manjioni and uh and and zorhan mandami on the other you're going to have marxist jihadist or
00:24:03.780
you're going to have guys shooting people in the back, you know, and laying in wait. Sir,
0.88
00:24:09.840
your thoughts? Yes. Yeah, 100%. Look, populism of the left, when you take it to its logical
00:24:15.260
conclusion, or if we want to call it populism, but the rising movement on the left, it must
00:24:19.800
inevitably lead to violence. And it does increasingly so, right? We're seeing that more
00:24:23.940
and more. So it is ugly. It is violent. It is not patriotic. It's certainly not Christian.
00:24:28.460
The populism of the right that we're talking about is patriotic, is pro-family, is pro-tradition.
0.92
00:24:33.780
is pro-God, loves this country, wants to see the broadest level of success across this country,
00:24:40.280
you know, not through government taking and not through central power, right, but through
00:24:44.020
incentivizing main streets and small towns and every small business in America to absolutely
00:24:49.060
flourish. That is our vision. And you're exactly correct, Steve, to a lot of the big shots,
00:24:53.420
many of whom watch your show, right, our message to them is you may not love MAGA, you may not love
00:24:58.620
all the precepts of America First, but believe me, our alternative is far better for the country,
00:25:03.400
far better even for you than where you will end up with the left because it is a bullet to the
0.99
00:25:08.340
back of the head. That's where you end up with the populism of the left. So we are trying to save
0.68
00:25:12.860
this country and some of the elites need to come to terms with that and realize that while they
00:25:17.780
may not love our movement, they need to embrace it. It's a little shaggy sometimes, got a few
00:25:23.920
rough edges on it, maybe shambolic on occasions, but hey, it is the future. Steve, I know you got
00:25:29.120
tell us what you're doing today and where can we go get the poll? I don't think you put the
00:25:32.820
poll until monday or tuesday where you get all your your content and what are you doing today
00:25:37.660
yes uh so the poll exclusively released by daily signal which gets most of my polling now i'm in
00:25:43.320
lacrosse wisconsin a wonderful part of this country and a catholic vote is having an america 250
00:25:49.600
celebration here it's going to be fantastic a lot of big speakers i am the mc for this event we got
00:25:54.540
to go to mass yesterday at the shrine of guadalupe believe it or not a lot of hispanics here way up
00:25:59.140
north in the U.S. Shrine of Guadalupe is a wonderful spot in La Crosse, Wisconsin. So we
00:26:03.720
are celebrating our faith and celebrating this amazing country that we're so blessed to live in
00:26:08.400
and this country that we're saving, Steve. Go with God. Steve Cortez, appreciate you. Thank you for
00:26:13.640
changing your schedule. Come on this morning. Thank you. Have a great, great, great day with
00:26:18.380
the Catholic Vote guys. Jack Posobiec joins me. Jack, thank you for stepping away from a family
00:26:23.660
event join us by phone uh after we had you had it on uh you had it on human events daily uh then we
00:26:30.820
got into it uh with uh tulsi gabbard the great tulsi gabbard coming out with the bio labs
00:26:35.900
in the lives of victoria newland and all of them she got lit up last night online
00:26:41.720
by people that say that she's just a russian asset your thoughts sir
00:26:46.060
well steve let's remember that these were all the same people that said donald
00:26:53.420
Trump is a Russian asset. These are the people that said that the 2020 election was the safest
00:26:58.460
and securest election in history. And these are the people who suggested that it would be better
00:27:04.120
for us to get into all these wars all around, whether it's Ukraine, whether it's Iran, regime
00:27:09.480
change, all the rest of it, Steve. This is the neocon pathogen response, because what Tulsi
00:27:16.020
Gabbard is doing, she just sent a heat-seeking missile directly into the heart of the neocon
0.67
00:27:22.300
industrial complex. Jack, I tell you what, we got to jump to a commercial break. I want to come
00:27:29.120
back to you. I know you're out with the children today. We're going to come back to you and
00:27:32.560
reconnect right after a short commercial break. Jack Basovic's on. Tulsi Gabbard getting ready to
00:27:38.040
leave D&I. She dropped a bomb yesterday about the biolabs, 140 biolabs, I think, throughout the
1.00
00:27:44.680
world, financed by the U.S. government, controlled by the U.S. government, and working on some of
00:27:49.380
deadliest things in the world plus i think there were 40 in ukraine and they're going nuts last
00:27:56.260
night she's a russian asset because this was putin's uh reason for invading it wasn't the
00:28:02.980
buyer labs but guess what they existed there's liz churchill's great tweet she put out yesterday
00:28:09.780
just go through it there's so much more we'll connect you to tulsi gabbard was given the receipts
00:28:15.860
and the neocons in this country can't stand it.
00:28:22.260
because of the great intelligence she managed
0.99
00:28:25.900
that would have kept us out of this debacle in Iran.
00:28:41.760
Most Americans are forced to spend too much money
00:28:45.140
on health care and getting too little in return. If you're one of the millions frustrated by
00:28:49.300
traditional health insurance, I want to tell you about America's health share. Go to freedom

00:30:21.220
of America's health share. You will not regret it. Russia has a history also of inventing
00:30:27.220
outright lies like this which is the suggestion that the united states has a chemical and
0.69
00:30:32.340
biological weapons program or ukraine does that they're operating russia is the one is the country
00:30:38.280
that has a chemical and biological weapons program so uh the objective uh was to uh make clear uh the
00:30:46.920
inaccuracy of the information the misinformation they're trying to put out uh and make clear to
0.98
00:30:55.740
Jack Posobiec, you heard it right there, brother.
00:31:01.540
That was the very day that Victoria Nuland perjured herself
00:31:08.160
Well, Steve, remember what Vicky Nuland did, right?
00:31:23.580
And she goes, he said, do you have any of these bio labs?
00:31:25.840
And she goes, well, there may be some research facilities.
00:31:31.420
So even then, she has to admit the truth of what's there.
00:31:35.120
And Steve, let's remember, these are the same people, the same exact system, by the way, which was lied to about Wuhan, the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:31:49.500
We knew about the Wuhan Institute. We knew about the ties to the Chinese military. We knew about the ties to Fauci to gain a function, to all of them. We don't need to re-litigate this. We've all seen it. We've all seen the liars. And I loved, by the way, I loved seeing all the people come after Tulsi. I loved seeing the freak out, the pathogen response by the neocon system.
00:32:09.480
because, Steve, I've learned that it's not about what the people say.
00:32:13.940
It's, you know, when they're coming out against you, putting out the truth.
00:32:19.120
Understand the grouping because that's how you can see the network.
00:32:27.020
the system that's been alerted to come after you.
00:32:29.300
And that is how we can update our mental model of who is on the side of the American people,
00:32:34.640
who's on the side of the Lao Bai Jing, who's on the side of freedom and democracy.
00:32:38.640
And as you mentioned before, the populist right who actually cares about our countries
00:32:42.520
and who is on the side of the special interests and the foreign interests.
00:32:46.920
Well, the nationalists, also the populist nationalist right.
00:32:50.520
And who's really rooting for the foreign entities and powers trying to control this country?
00:32:57.540
One of the things they're trying to do, Jack, I want your comments for you.
0.98
00:33:01.160
is they're trying to also use this to scuff up Tulsi
00:33:07.120
because they understand that the investigation and commission,
00:33:11.460
we're going to put out all the information and intelligence
00:33:15.400
President Trump's trying to bring this war to the conclusion,
00:33:18.920
You know, you got term sheets, you got MOUs, you got all this.
00:33:21.380
President Trump's trying to juggle it all with the military
00:33:25.660
And I keep saying we're in it now and that's going to be a focus.
00:33:29.840
And that moment is not too far, not too far distance in the future.
00:33:34.460
We're going to go back to the spring and summer of 2025.
00:33:38.840
And we're going to go back to Charlie Kirk's heroic stand on this.
00:33:42.880
We're going to go back to get the receipts themselves, the receipts of what the CIA said
00:33:48.460
and the receipts of what Tulsi Gabbard and DNI said.
00:33:53.580
OK, what they're trying to do is, oh, she's a Russian asset.
1.00
00:33:57.580
This woman's a patient colonel right now in the military.
1.00
00:34:01.080
She served her country, which I noticed most of her detractors did not.
00:34:07.520
Because this is really why they're coming after her.
00:34:09.500
They're coming after her because they understand she understands she's got the receipts on
00:34:22.220
These are the type of people that want us in a hot war with the Russian state.
0.55
00:34:32.520
I was proud to stand there with Charlie Kirk throughout all of 2025 saying what we said.
00:34:40.160
This is the central animating feature of our time.
00:34:44.660
Do you stand with the populist nationalists or do you stand with these views of America
00:34:50.080
as a global empire, America as this globalist system, the system of globalism. This is what
00:34:56.460
the MAGA movement was birthed in this milieu. It was, are you going to surrender this country
00:35:04.200
and its people to the siren song of globalism? Or will we be a nation state once more? That was
00:35:11.100
the central animating theme, the credo. As President Trump said himself, America first
00:35:17.420
will be our credo, American nationalism. That is our credo. And so if this is in the interest of
00:35:23.700
any of these foreign affairs are in the direct interest of the American people, you need to
00:35:28.380
state your case and make your case to the American people. And you need to do so with the truth.
00:35:33.100
And if there are biolabs that we are trying to prevent, which by the way, Barack Obama,
0.98
00:35:37.100
when he was a senator, was tied to these Ukrainian biolabs, believe it or not,
0.98
00:35:40.900
visited them at one point, you know, visited in some of the programs. It's all true. It's just,
1.00
00:35:46.360
it's as they want to try to cast it in a different light this is a scott adams would have a field day
00:35:51.920
with this by the way you know it's a it's one of those things it's kind of like when they talk
00:35:55.960
about demographic change when joy reed goes up and talks about demographic change they say oh
00:35:59.900
it's great but then if if jack basobic and steve bannon talk about it oh that's a crazy conspiracy
00:36:04.000
theory jack basobic we're gonna let you get back is this the last game of the season are we there
00:36:10.340
for are we there for the uh for the season's finale sir this is the last last little game
00:36:43.040
bringing people together you come out and what and what does everybody do before the game starts
00:36:47.380
you take your hat off and you put your hat your your hand over your heart and you do the star
00:36:52.240
spangled banner and it's it's about little small towns and small leagues doing that everywhere
00:36:57.460
across this country every saturday morning that's what we're fighting for you go eat some hot dogs
00:37:03.120
afterwards with your friends that's what it's all about and building those little relationships
00:37:07.980
that's how you build the little brigades the bonds of community that's what they're trying
1.00
00:37:12.960
to destroy with infinity migrants to this country disrupting the status quo because if you have the
1.00
00:37:18.460
american people joined together with that central purpose and that bond of unity that bond of culture
0.99
00:37:23.600
and friendship nothing will ever break it uh that song that you sing in unison with the kids is
00:37:29.420
called the national anthem of the united states of america jack basobiec thank you one more time
00:37:34.020
Jack, you're the Associated Press of the MAGA, America First Movement.
00:37:37.160
Where do people go over the weekend to keep up to date?
00:37:47.140
President Trump and Foreign Minister Arachi say that a deal is in the works.
00:37:52.540
J. Vance poised potentially to head over to Geneva for a signing.
00:37:56.520
There's already been teams with security equipment sent over should the vice president choose
00:38:01.740
or should the president choose to deploy the vice president.
00:38:07.160
The president making it a working weekend amidst, of course,
00:38:11.260
the fighting weekend that we have on Sunday at the White House.
00:38:18.020
Jack Posobiec stepping away from the league game.
00:38:22.580
I'm going to get back to Tulsi in a moment and Pulte in that entire situation.
00:38:27.960
Burquam, I want to go back to Steve Cortez's polling of Hispanic Americans in this country.
00:38:39.700
They got, because they're working class, they got, listen, the economy for working class people can be rough right now.
00:38:45.040
This is why we have to have growth, and particularly not just economic growth, but economic growth that's bringing wage growth.
00:38:57.500
That means they're hardworking Americans, right?
00:39:10.040
Look, I've lived almost my entire life paycheck to paycheck, and that's most people's experience in America.
00:39:16.220
And so even if you agree with us on immigration, illegal immigration, the impact it has, the reality is your priorities are the things that put food on your table, that get those little league cleats for your kids to go play games.
00:39:33.620
It's what gets your wife whatever that special thing is that she wants.
00:39:39.040
It's the things that make your life continue to go.
00:39:44.220
Now, obviously, illegal immigration has a direct impact on that. But when you're in a situation like when President Trump came in and we had the lowest gas prices that I can remember in, I mean, in the last 20 years in Arkansas, we were almost under $2. Actually, some places were under $2 a gallon. And then you go double that. That's all people feel. They don't remember back to Joe Biden was even higher than we are now. We can say that all we want. All they feel is it was really low and now it's higher.
00:40:13.460
Everything I'm buying is a little more expensive.
00:40:19.580
The reality is illegal immigration impacts all of that.
00:40:23.460
But to the average Joe out there, they're not thinking about that.
00:40:27.400
All they're thinking about is how do I keep paying my mortgage?
00:40:32.200
How do I keep my wife happy and my kids thinking that I'm a good dad and all these things?
00:40:38.320
And so we have to unfortunately, you have a lot of people in politics.
00:40:41.280
they've never lived like that they've they you know they at least not in in a near enough
00:40:46.500
time frame to actually think in those terms and so everything they're thinking about is well i've
00:40:52.320
got everything taken care of i can do all these existential things and and you know go out into
00:40:57.660
the weeds over here you got to get back to the roots of this this is why populist nationalism
00:41:02.340
why we have to take that ownership back because the left that's why you see the rise of mandami
0.99
00:41:07.040
That's why you see the rise of Hassan Piker and these idiots, because they've tapped, they're tapping into that.
1.00
00:41:12.380
They see that and they say, we can weaponize this.
1.00
00:41:14.840
The problem is they're weaponizing it and they're taking it the wrong direction.
00:41:23.380
And unfortunately, you have too many people that don't know how to do that.
00:41:26.180
It's just not communication, though, but it's also the ideas.
00:41:34.680
And if you're an American citizen, you get a special deal.
00:41:38.580
In fact, the Phoenix engine room informs me this morning that we're talking about this.
00:41:42.860
I said, hey, it's called American citizens first.
00:41:50.640
And part of that special deal is keeping out this whole scam on legal immigration, H1Bs, which is a scam, and the illegal immigration, as you see.
0.63
00:41:58.540
And the reason you're deployed, you would think, after all this time, why is Ben Burquam back at the border?
00:42:04.920
You know, he should be in the middle of the Antifa raids and these mass deportation fights in Los Angeles and Minneapolis doing a great job.
00:42:12.400
Well, guess what? That's all inextricably linked.
00:42:15.380
Their full intention, and Burquam's warning the other day was one of the most powerful I've ever seen.
00:42:20.260
It was quite simply if if we flinch and we lose political control as imperfect as has been, folks, I understand it has not has been far from perfect.
00:42:31.440
If we lose control of that, there's another 20 million.
00:42:34.400
They're going to get in here in a couple of years.
1.00
00:42:38.240
You're going to have, you know, Bovina right now says there's 100 million.
0.99
00:42:40.580
There's another six million of these legal, you know, immigrants here are legal migrants that are, you know, supposedly legal immigrants here, which are also a scam.
1.00
00:42:51.660
But you had another 20 million and then you're just showing, hey, we can't even handle it.
1.00
00:42:55.380
We don't have the political will to enforce our sovereignty, the sovereignty of our borders, the sovereignty for a nation and the sovereignty for our citizens.
00:43:05.460
Yeah, I mean, we're functionally bankrupt as a nation right now.
00:43:08.700
And you're talking about adding more looters to the system to quote one of my favorite books, Atlas Shrugged.
00:43:15.240
If you haven't read that, I don't like what she says about I don't agree with her on what she says about religion, but on economics and populism.
00:43:21.800
She's 100 percent right. And that was you know, that's where we're at right now.
00:43:24.440
We're living with the looters. Hang on. Hang on. Let's go to break.
00:43:29.220
I had Ben Burkwam on a roll, and he's got to go full, on-ran, libertarian, you know,
00:43:35.520
with one of the books I hate more than any book in the world, Atlas Shrugged.
00:43:45.640
You see, folks, this is the kind of thing I've got to do, you know, training Poso and
00:43:53.340
Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break.
00:43:58.800
We're going to stick with Burquan throughout the morning,
00:44:00.880
make sure he's got some company as he's down there on the border.
00:44:13.780
With a qualifying purchase, you get a free one-ounce silver round.
00:44:18.820
I'll show you what that looks like after the break.
00:44:24.020
Do you owe back taxes or you haven't filed your taxes in years?
00:44:32.020
With the national conversation around abolishing the income tax,
00:44:36.840
the IRS is fighting back and proving it's here to stay
00:44:45.860
filing more tax liens, and collecting billions more in recent years.
00:44:56.140
seize your retirement and even your home if you owe or haven't filed it's not a question of if
00:45:03.180
the irs will act it's a question of when it will act right now tax network usa is offering a

Okay, I'm not going to take up too much time on Saturday, but Ben Burke, while I'm just hitting my trip, we're going to actually announce big news with Ben, because Ben is one of the great stalwarts of our movement.
00:46:32.820
There's very few books I hate more than Atlas Shrugged, and I think it's a quite dangerous book.
00:46:38.460
When I first got to D.C. in kind of the imperial capital with Andrew Breitbart back in the summer
00:46:45.160
of 2011, when we took the Breitbart embassy and Andrew kind of came back almost 50% of
00:46:54.480
And Paul Ryan had every junior grand dune that worked for him or everybody on the staff,
00:46:58.460
People walk around with Atlas Shrugged underneath their arms.
00:47:01.540
It was the book that people had to, no, not that one, the globalization book, something
00:47:07.240
i'll get to that later um the um so atlas shrugged and it's you know it's about the ubermensch
00:47:14.360
the philosophy of atlas shrugged because onran was a freak okay atheistic no moral compass
00:47:21.320
complete freak um in her personal life that's a whole different deal just a freak it was a cult
00:47:28.200
she was a cult leader buckley knew this that's what buckley turfed him out you talk about buckley
00:47:33.160
going after uh going after the john birchers he was actually as focused on that because he realized
00:47:38.860
that's a dangerous cult now turn out the birchers hello turned out to be right about most things
00:47:44.120
just saying uh but no quite dangerous and i said from the beginning the philosophy of atlas shrug
00:47:50.620
leads directly to auschwitz leads directly to be happy in your work right as a grundune when uber
00:47:57.900
minch is calling the shots anyway maybe we'll take an hour one day and do that and get some
00:48:02.260
audience participation. But Ben, it's a perfect segue, Ben. It's a perfect segue. We do have a
00:48:08.780
project with Ben Burkwam. It's now official. We haven't given the title up on Amazon and all that,
00:48:13.620
but we are working on a book with Ben Burkwam. I tell you, it is a page-turner. The first cut
00:48:19.860
is a page-turner. Ben, I'm so proud of the fact, particularly your personal journey, which I don't
00:48:25.160
think a lot of people know, and I don't want to give too much up now because I wanted to buy the
00:48:28.300
book. Your personal journey is absolutely amazing. And the growth of you as a person, but the growth
00:48:34.500
of you as someone that presents the news is unbelievable. I think you're one of the finest
00:48:38.980
investigative reporters in the nation. And you have put your life on the line in many dangerous
00:48:44.520
situations that it's almost like a military calling. I mean, what you and Oscar Blue Ramirez
00:48:49.400
did those many years that really, I think, led to the nation awakening to what the real threat was
00:49:03.980
in putting yourself in harm's way is extraordinary.
00:49:07.960
Hopefully we'll have it out by mid to late summer, sir.
00:49:20.060
And like you said, I'm not gonna give it all away,
00:49:26.360
And it's pretty incredible. So when you go from the lowest of lows in the pits of hell to a life again, and you see every day is a blessing, and every day is a gift that you get to spend, you realize what you want to spend it on.
00:49:43.200
And so that's what I've spent my last 10 years doing is trying to make an impact.
00:49:47.100
No, and Ben, you were a mess. You were quite frankly, and it shows you when God's not in your life, when Jesus Christ is not in your heart, how low a human can go. But when you embrace that, the turnaround you can have, sir.
00:50:04.940
yeah and and you know what's amazing too is you gotta buy the book to read all this but um is
00:50:11.980
the the variables don't change it's how you approach them how you deal with them that's
00:50:18.320
what changes and how god working through you deal uh and so it's going to be incredible i mean it's
00:50:22.800
got all the stories from the last 10 years the coolest part about it is uh you've got the videos
00:50:26.880
to go along with it so it's not just me talking about these stories it's you you get to go to
00:50:31.160
the jungles of Panama and be in a shootout and, and then go back to the, you know, where it all
00:50:35.440
began and then, you know, and then back through it all. And so, uh, I'm, I'm just, I'm honored to
00:50:40.200
have an impact. I'm honored to, obviously, uh, there's actually an entire chapter in there about
00:50:44.340
my relationship with Steve and the grainy photo I took with you, uh, when I met you at the
00:50:49.500
Republican convention out in Anaheim, gosh, uh, eight years ago to where we are today. And, and,
00:50:55.860
And how, no matter how lost you think you might be, how God has a purpose for your life, if you choose to accept it and how you go through that and how you deal with these different situations.
00:51:06.840
So my prayer is that it's powerful, especially for young men, but just young people in general and really all people that are dealing with similar, you know, not necessarily addiction, but we all have stresses and fears and anxiety in our life and things we have to deal with.
00:51:21.560
Um, and I, I pray that it, it has a major impact on people's lives.
00:51:27.560
And the fact that my first book is coming through war room, uh, is, uh, is a great honor.
00:51:34.620
It's about task and purpose is about human agency from a very, um, uh, from a very imperfect
00:51:43.520
Uh, Ben, um, stick around cause I know you're not going anywhere in your car.
00:51:47.180
We're going to come back to you in the second hour.
00:51:49.020
uh if the tow truck gets here if the if the guys get here no no tow tow tow tow truck goes you get
00:51:55.820
we're gonna get you right back on i want to meet the tow truck driver we'll pick up the tab ben
00:52:00.040
berkman ben social media give your social media so people can follow you uh at ben berkman's my
00:52:06.240
personal uh you got frontline america that's my website but uh obviously real america's voice is
00:52:11.260
where everything happens i'm americasvoice.news get all the episodes of law and border and then
00:52:16.820
social media at real am voice or at ben burkwam okay stick around as soon as the tow truck comes
00:52:23.180
let us know and don't do this anymore you're too you're too valuable now to the country
00:52:29.100
to put yourself in harm yeah i know you put yourself in harm's way but you can't do it in
00:52:32.720
the middle of the night by yourself when nobody else is around um ben burkwam uh metaxas is going
00:52:39.400
to be here we're going to talk about revolution the meaning and purpose of it and quite frankly
00:52:43.660
because I think, you know, the president, we got America 250.
00:52:46.840
They're trying to do it, but obviously the country is not united.
00:52:51.120
It's particularly divided, I think, going back to our origin story.
00:52:54.540
That's where this book is so important, and this moment is so important.
00:52:57.540
So we're going to do that after a commercial break.
00:53:03.540
When you spend $7.5 trillion, like Biden spent, we called it at the time.
00:53:09.280
That's when we started End of the Dollar Empire with Birch Gold.
00:53:21.280
We've done an eighth free installment that's up online,
00:53:26.940
But you get to understand the difference between fiat currency
00:53:31.760
and physical gold, why gold's always been a hedge.
00:53:46.960
Right now, also, Birch Gold is tossing into the mix
00:54:10.240
and it's going to end. Short break. Eric Metaxas, Joe Allen on the other side.
00:54:16.760
Everyone's focused on how the conflict in the Middle East is raising oil prices,
00:54:20.500
but there's another grim reality to this contention. Oil isn't the only resource being
00:54:26.740
constrained. About one third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region. And with spring
00:54:32.940
planting season on top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they
00:54:38.040
can't afford to plant their fields when one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard you know
00:54:43.720
what comes next higher food prices reduced availability maybe even panic buying that's
00:54:49.760
