Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 1040： One On One With Greg Bovino

00:00:00.000 Hey, hey, jump that photo, jump that photo. 1.00

00:00:16.820 You are a f*****g pretend coward chicken s**t. 1.00

00:00:22.000 You are not a soldier. 1.00

00:00:25.000 Brown Brett.

00:00:35.460 Brown. 0.63

00:00:54.620 This is the zone we were allotted to protest.

00:01:24.620 people in minnesota want to know when this surge will end has there been a date set is there a

00:01:53.980 certain number of people you want to apprehend before you decide to ease the surge?

00:02:00.280 We continue to apprehend dozens, if not hundreds, of these criminal illegal aliens a day.

00:02:05.440 We're going to continue conducting that mission. We're not going to put a date or a timeline

00:02:10.440 to stop this mission. This mission's ongoing until there are no more of those criminal illegal aliens 0.99

00:02:17.520 roaming the streets of Minneapolis.

00:02:19.960 Is there a number, though? You have to have a file.

00:02:22.240 Well, there is a number and it's called all of them.

00:02:25.160 The purpose of the revolution is the revolution.

00:02:28.480 There's no there's there's no issue you can settle with them.

00:02:32.320 That's not how they roll.

00:02:33.820 And they have a history of success in doing this, that they're using this playbook.

00:02:38.660 They're using Lenin's playbook, the Bolshevik playbook, kind of an updated version of the French Revolution playbook. 0.58

00:02:45.320 They know it works.

00:02:46.680 What did Cho and Lai say to to Kissinger when Kissinger said, hey, when they're sitting there, kind of a quiet period when they Mao Zedong and Nixon left?

00:02:55.960 And he says, what are your thoughts? What are your thoughts about the French Revolution?

00:02:59.920 And this is 1972. He says too early to tell.

00:03:04.120 That's because he knew there would be Minnesotas in the future. Right.

00:03:08.660 This is it's whoever's advising the president is not giving the full the straight skinny on exactly what this is.

00:03:15.560 And in addition, if you're going to do something like this, which is horrible to let Bovino go,

00:03:22.160 who's been heroic in what he's done with the world against him, what'd you get for it?

00:03:27.860 I don't see them talking about walls coming to the microphone with Fry and saying Fry saying I was wrong.

00:03:32.840 They're criminals. They're criminals. They should be arrested. 0.98

00:03:37.220 Instead of Bovino leaving Minnesota, they should be leaving Minnesota

00:03:40.940 and going to some sort of holding tank until we can put them on trial.

00:03:46.740 The deaths of the two people are as much their responsibility as anyone else.

00:03:52.100 And maybe I'll throw the mainstream media in there for instigating this

00:03:55.140 and instigating it, who is a patriot and a hero and had a plan.

00:04:00.960 And Bovina will tell you, hey, there's 100 million illegal aliens in the country.

00:04:04.320 Let's play it again.

00:04:05.800 The former Border Patrol official, Gerger Bovina, has been a critical saying.

00:04:09.380 I never met the guy.

00:04:10.740 I never met the guy.

00:04:12.020 No, he's irrelevant to me.

00:04:13.760 I don't know who he is.

00:04:15.440 You don't know who he is.

00:04:16.580 He's relevant to you.

00:04:17.540 You better find out who he is because you don't know what you're doing on your job.

00:04:22.840 There should be tougher enforcement up there in New Jersey.

00:04:25.240 That's Fort Apache right there. 0.94

00:04:28.560 The more you show weakness, these people are savages. 1.00

00:04:32.080 They're like dogs and animals. 0.98

00:04:33.540 The more they smell, they can feel weakness and fear.

00:04:37.600 They're going to keep coming.

00:04:38.820 I thought we made Antifa a terrorist organization.

00:04:42.900 Why is Treasury not shut down all sources of funding?

00:04:45.600 Why are all of them not rounded up?

00:04:47.240 That's not a peaceful protest.

00:04:50.280 That's not people trying to be there and peaceful protesting.

00:04:53.200 No, that is a riot.

00:04:55.280 That is an act of terrorism.

00:04:57.980 When are we going to stop having press conferences and start doing it?

00:05:00.620 Bovino did it. 0.93

00:05:03.340 Bovino told you it's 100 million illegal alien invaders.

00:05:07.000 And he was for mass deportations. If you haven't talked to him, maybe you should sit down and talk to him.

00:05:14.020 Because clearly that would have a better take on what's happening right now.

00:05:18.900 Now you're just taking incoming. And any compromise from them, they're going to keep pressing it.

00:05:25.060 And so now we're just not going to get down to bad hombres. We're going to get down to the worst hombres.

00:05:29.320 And then we're going to get down to capital crime hombres. And then you're not going to have anybody deported.

00:05:33.040 The American people voted for mass deportations. The American people want mass deportations.

00:05:38.700 The American people will come out in the fall and support mass deportations.

00:05:44.340 Tap dancing around this is not going to get people going door to door and canvassing and saying, yes, we fully support this program and we will do whatever needs to be done and support you and support the political class that sorts this problem out.

00:05:58.620 Monday, 29 June, the year of our Lord, 2026.

00:06:03.860 Very honored to have the man himself, the commander, Bovino.

00:06:10.900 Sir, talk to me about what you've seen just this last weekend.

00:06:16.600 We finally had the Supreme Court, which was a disaster today.

00:06:19.820 The Supreme Court was great for us on Friday with TPS.

00:06:24.860 But over the weekend, all we got, and I can play some of those clips later, we play them on the morning show. 0.70

00:06:30.500 They had a DHS giving mumbo-jumbo about, oh, the Haitians should now just take out and take time to fill out the form for permanent.

00:06:38.880 We've had politicians like DeWine of Ohio coming in and saying how great they are.

00:06:43.540 They're amazing.

00:06:44.540 They're buying homes.

00:06:46.020 They're supporting the community. 0.87

00:06:48.100 They're the cheap labor that the whole country's based upon. 0.99

00:06:51.800 We had Mandami, and we'll play that later.

00:06:54.060 on Friday tell us just look right in the camera and say hey I don't care about the Supreme Court 1.00

00:06:58.780 I don't care about federal law that the Haitians are what made New York I forgot the Haitian age 1.00

00:07:04.960 of New York that built New York but he's sitting there right up in your grill saying I'm not going 0.98

00:07:09.640 to force federal law what is your take of what you've seen over the weekend particularly about

00:07:15.520 folks in charge and in power that want to enforce federal law especially when the Supreme Court has

00:07:21.840 are back, sir. Well, Steve, thanks for having me. It's good to see you. The Supreme Court handed

00:07:29.760 President Trump and the American citizens, as you know, a resounding victory for TPS. That was 0.80

00:07:35.980 massive there on Friday. What a fantastic decision that was, because not only for those Haitians,

00:07:43.780 but we can traverse torrents and look at other populations as well in the future. What a great

00:07:49.380 decision that was, but look what happened over the weekend with Mumdami and then Mullen. You talk

00:07:56.560 about trashing a fantastic, resounding victory, and we had Mullen practically trying to coerce

00:08:07.380 or perhaps give advice to those Haitians to put their paperwork in to become citizens.

00:08:13.040 Mumdami actually said he's not going to enforce federal law at all in any form or fashion.

00:08:20.140 So it almost seems like Mullen and Mumdami have more in common with each other than they do with the American taxpayer.

00:08:28.340 The American taxpayer wants mass deportations. 0.72

00:08:30.940 They want deportations of all illegal aliens and those who refuse to assimilate, and they want them now. 0.98

00:08:37.920 Why aren't those leaders, why are our elected leaders and our bureaucrats there in D.C. not getting that message?

00:08:47.240 Commander, the TPS didn't surprise us.

00:08:50.520 I mean, it went our way, but it's been in the works forever.

00:08:54.280 Just walk people through in the normal logistics planning, because now, you know, we just move heaven and earth.

00:08:59.920 They get a supplemental bill.

00:09:01.200 They got all the money they need.

00:09:02.760 They say they got all the agents they need.

00:09:05.000 They now get the Supreme Court in back of them.

00:09:07.400 wouldn't if you wouldn't it you for a couple of months be ready to go as soon as this decision

00:09:14.080 came down one way or the other but if it came if it broke our way the buses would be rolling

00:09:19.000 the plane we would already contracted the planes uh we would have everything just the logistics

00:09:24.260 chain would be absolutely ready to get ready to ship these people out sir strategic planning

00:09:31.480 in terms of immigration enforcement is essential take a look what happened over the past year

00:09:37.220 when we were going city to city, that city hopping campaign. That didn't just happen, Steve,

00:09:43.380 in an overnight planning session. That was five years in the making. So yes, they'd had plenty

00:09:49.740 of time, plenty of lead time there to understand that TPS was probably going to be something 0.67

00:09:56.420 that was going away, especially for the Haitians, and having a set of plans to pull right off the

00:10:03.800 shelf, enact immediately, that's essential, especially in immigration enforcement. When you

00:10:08.560 have the ability to do that, you have to act quickly. You have to act quickly because, as you

00:10:14.500 know, there's federal judges and things like that that'll put a stop to that immediately if they

00:10:19.680 can. So enforcing that right up front, pronto, is very important. So why that's not being enforced

00:10:27.320 while we're talking about folks can apply for citizenship or documents or that type of thing

00:10:33.020 over the weekend instead of those buses rolling downtown New York City or wherever they need to

00:10:37.660 roll is beyond me. But planning for immigration enforcement, both strategically and tactically,

00:10:44.960 is something that border security professionals and immigration professionals know full well

00:10:51.260 that can make the difference between success and failure. And again, non-border security

00:10:56.680 professionals in key positions. I don't know. So much of this is information warfare. What does

00:11:04.960 it tell the people that have no intention of allowing officials at any level to deal with 0.97

00:11:12.620 the illegal alien invasion here? In fact, they will fight it. These Marxist, jihadist, 0.97

00:11:17.880 communist, all of it. What does it do when a guy's on Jake Tapper's show on the big Sunday

00:11:23.640 morning. This is the Sunday morning talk show for CNN. What signal is it sending them, sir?

00:11:31.420 What sends a dual signal? One, to those jihadists, those terrorists, those rioters,

00:11:36.360 and those anarchists that you just mentioned, it does send a signal to them that, hey,

00:11:41.120 we can win this thing. We can give aid, comfort, and relief to illegal aliens.

00:11:46.940 And anyone else in our country illegally, we can give comfort, aid and relief through simple, you know, doing what they've done for the past year, whether it's unlawful activities, riots, conducting those anarchist activities.

00:12:02.620 Hey, apparently that's successful and that was proven out this past weekend.

00:12:06.860 And then the other thing, the other part of that that we don't often talk about, Steve, is the fact that the terrorist groups, the illegal aliens, the transnational criminal networks, they're also watching this, watching what's transpiring, watching capitulations like we saw this past weekend.

00:12:26.040 And what that does, that empowers them.

00:12:28.460 It's what we call in the Border Patrol a draw.

00:12:31.520 That is a draw.

00:12:33.340 Hey, you know what?

00:12:34.520 Look, they're getting soft on immigration there.

00:12:36.860 let's go ahead and cross the border, because what's next? Amnesty, perhaps? So it creates

00:12:41.700 that draw. So we empower the anarchists, the rioters, those bad people. And then we also

00:12:48.820 empower illegal aliens and transnational criminal organizations that smuggle those folks across the

00:12:53.680 border. We worked awfully darn hard to get that border secure. Trump did a great job. The day he

00:12:59.160 took office, the border started getting very secure. But one of the things that hurts a secure

00:13:04.280 border is a draw. If we create a draw, a reason for someone to come into the country, then that

00:13:12.380 definitely puts us back several steps. This is like when Biden, obviously in the NGOs,

00:13:20.300 we're working at this plan. All of a sudden through the Darien Gap, it's almost like a

00:13:24.720 gravitational pull, a draw into the country that there's going to be benefits for you. We're really

00:13:31.520 not serious about enforcing this. And that's what you mean by a draw, almost like a gravitational

00:13:35.980 pull to pull more transnational criminalists, more jihadists, more illegal aliens into the 0.75

00:13:42.700 country. Is that what it means? Exactly. And in the modern age of instant communications,

00:13:50.320 the word gets out, not just say in Mexico or Central America, but globally. It's across the

00:13:57.500 globe in an instant, that that draw, that reason for being able to come into the United States,

00:14:04.200 that reaches untold billions of people, especially those that want to come in here

00:14:10.700 into the United States, like those Haitians in New York City. By the way, I believe over 40% 0.90

00:14:17.060 of those are on some type of public assistance, the ones that Mumdami seems to support over

00:14:23.100 American citizens. So those type of people, hey, I've got a reason to come. I've got a draw to come

00:14:28.000 now because, hey, we've got the Secretary of Homeland Security. We've got Munami and DeWine

00:14:34.200 and others that are giving me a great reason to come instead of the opposite, providing a reason

00:14:41.940 not to come like law enforcement. It really, it sets us back. I want to go back. You said you

00:14:51.040 talked about strategic plan and been five years in the making. When President Trump, when in those

00:14:57.420 years in the wilderness, as we built this plan to kind of dovetail off of the first term,

00:15:05.680 it kind of was threefold. Number one, and these can happen concurrently. Number one, we have to

00:15:13.080 seal the border. They've had 20 million come in under Biden's watch, at least. We must seal the

00:15:18.020 border be serious about this time number two there's a whole host of bad hombres here that

00:15:24.020 you know criminal criminal class etc but number three the 20 million it got to go bad hombre or

00:15:31.480 not 20 million we need mass deportation so you had seal the border remove the criminal class

00:15:38.260 mass deportations so walk me through let's go back in time because i remember the early days

00:15:45.000 of the administration. We're hitting on all cylinders. You guys are, you know, there's a

00:15:50.440 serious plan to seal the border immediately. We were just told for years and years and years,

00:15:54.600 and the Biden lied that, oh, this is impossible. Sealing the border happened very, very, very

00:15:59.720 quickly, I think in the first 60, first two months. Then you've got a plan for the bad hombres,

00:16:04.940 but you've also got from Chicago to Los Angeles, a major effort on mass deportations. Can you walk

00:16:13.100 us through it and how you think each part of that worked? Sure. Everything starts at the border.

00:16:21.380 What happens at the border has never stayed at the border, Steve. You know that. Folks that cross

00:16:26.580 that border illegally don't stay at the border. They go right into the interior and they set up

00:16:31.880 shop in the interior, whether they're a criminal or a regular illegal alien. But one thing that I 0.81

00:16:38.440 think is very important for the audience to know is once they set up shop in the interior,

00:16:44.280 if there's not a mechanism to remove them back out of the country, that in itself hurts border

00:16:51.580 security right along the border because, hey, make it past the border patrol. And guess what?

00:16:56.740 I got a free ticket. I can just stay there and do what I want to do, whether I'm a criminal

00:17:00.400 or a Haitian that's utilizing public assistance. So part of our strategy was concurrently,

00:17:08.140 running heavy border security. As you know, the military is on the border now. Fantastic

00:17:13.000 military assisting border patrol to shut that border down. That's great. But concurrent with

00:17:18.660 that, you must have a very overarching and very tough interior immigration strategy and enforcement

00:17:26.940 model. Because once they make it past the border, when they realize, well, gosh, you know what? I'm

00:17:32.280 not safe. I see a bunch of border patrol agents there in Los Angeles and then Chicago and then

00:17:38.320 Charlotte and then New Orleans and then Minnesota. So it makes it very, very difficult for those

00:17:45.880 folks to try to cross the border because there is no safe space for them anywhere in the interior.

00:17:52.360 So border security and interior enforcement are closely linked. We missed that prior to Trump 45.

00:17:58.900 We missed that really bad because you heard the politicians, George Bush included, Bill Clinton and the rest of them say, you know, we need to seal the border off before we do interior enforcement.

00:18:10.280 Nothing could be further from the truth.

00:18:11.640 It has to happen at the same time.

00:18:13.480 We must do that at the same time.

00:18:15.640 And that was part of our strategy.

00:18:17.760 If you look, when we hit Los Angeles there last year, when we hit Los Angeles, almost overnight, what Trump had done on the border shrank even more.

00:18:27.680 We cut those numbers probably half again to what Trump did. What Trump did on the border was was truly amazing. But they realized, hey, you know, something else is happening there in the United States. They're really serious about this.

00:18:41.180 When you have border patrol agents in the interior taking it to the bad guys, whether it's the criminal legal aliens, the illegal aliens, drug cartels, it doesn't matter.

00:18:50.980 And it really doesn't matter.

00:18:52.000 We want all of them.

00:18:54.860 It makes a difference.

00:18:56.220 And something else I'd like to point out here, Steve, is when we talk about illegal aliens without a criminal history, we've got that cultural aspect of our society that is under attack. 0.99

00:19:12.520 They're going to vote us out. 0.99

00:19:14.660 They're going to outbreed us. 0.95

00:19:16.480 We need to remove all of these people. 1.00

00:19:18.540 I say that the regular run-of-the-mill illegal alien is far more of a threat than those criminal 0.96

00:19:26.640 aliens, terrorists, and folks with significant criminal histories. I'm going to say that again. 0.80

00:19:31.700 They're more of a threat because our culture is at stake here. We can always get the terrorists,

00:19:37.440 the criminal aliens, the worst of the worst. They're always going to have that criminal record. 0.75

00:19:41.180 We can hit them from now until Sunday for the next 10 years. We can hit those folks all the 0.98

00:19:48.140 time, but we've got a very small window to go after those hundred million other illegal aliens

00:19:55.100 right here in the United States via mass deportations. So that was also baked into that

00:20:01.180 strategy we're talking about is doing that. Our culture's at stake. Our national identity's at

00:20:06.200 stake. Our values, traditions, and culture is at stake. We need them all gone at the same time.

00:20:14.740 I'm going to come back to that in a second. I'm going to put a pin in there because

00:20:17.440 one of the most profound things I think ever said in the war room. And we've had a reputation of

00:20:22.620 having people who have said pretty profound things that have become not just winning strategies to

00:20:28.240 take political power, but also to implement that power. I want to make sure people understand this,

00:20:35.180 is that on sealing the border and making sure that we've stopped this onslaught,

00:20:41.900 we've done what we could do. We've codified some of it. We're building a wall and doing

00:20:47.000 and other things. We've got the Army down there. How comfortable are you that if we, for some

00:20:53.880 reason, lose the House and particularly get a guy like Hakeem Jeffries and some of these radicals

00:20:59.100 in New York City in the House, running the Appropriations Committee in a January, lose in

00:21:05.580 November, January this year. And if a guy like Newsom or Ossoff or one of these people with

00:21:11.660 even a more radical VP wins in 28. How secure is that border, given those scenarios, sir?

00:21:22.280 Steve, the border is only as secure as the folks that are manning it. And look at what happened

00:21:27.680 under Biden. 80% of that border went unmanned. Now, how would that happen? Well, I'll tell you

00:21:35.840 what, when you have people coming across the border by the millions, you pull your border

00:21:40.020 agents back and have them changing diapers, doing the paperwork, actually completing the

00:21:46.760 smuggling cycle. That's what we said in the Border Patrol. Hey, we're just completing the

00:21:51.320 smuggling cycle now with what Biden and that regime was doing. So you pull all those agents

00:21:57.640 back off the border and you've got a border that is so wide open, you don't know what's coming

00:22:03.700 through. There's a lot of numbers, 20 million, 30 million, 40 million that may have came in under

00:22:08.420 Biden, we really have no clue, because 80% of the border was wide open. So if you get a Hakeem

00:22:14.520 Jeffries or any of that other cast of characters that you just mentioned, absolutely, they've

00:22:20.460 already proof-tested the concept. So if you think last time was bad, what do you think's going to

00:22:26.740 happen the next time that type of a regime takes office? If it was 30 million or 40 million last

00:22:35.120 time? It'll be another 100 million coming in. Good night, Sally. Good night, folks. Good night,

00:22:41.120 America. So am I worried about that? You bet I'm worried about that. I spent 30 years on that

00:22:46.900 border, and I have never seen anything like what I saw under the Biden administration. Don't get

00:22:52.240 me wrong. I was aggravated with Clinton, with Obama, even aggravated with George Bush and his

00:22:58.920 lack of interior enforcement operations, but nothing like we saw under Biden. They've proof

00:23:03.920 tested the concept. And if you think it was bad last time, they already know what to do,

00:23:09.180 how to do it, where to do it, when to do it. Look out then.

00:23:17.640 It's only as secure as the people that man it. In other words, you're comfortable. We have sealed

00:23:23.480 the border. It's gone to a trickle, maybe even zero. We're putting technology down there. We're

00:23:28.600 putting a wall down there but it's who's it's who's uh all along the watchtower right it depends

00:23:35.260 on what political force political will you have in back of the ability to keep it sealed

00:23:40.620 you bet the first thing they'll do is pull the military you can bet that regime they're going

00:23:46.580 to pull the military and then the next thing you know it'll be a humanitarian mission they call

00:23:51.800 that a humanitarian mission border patrols a law enforcement agency not a humanitarian agency

00:23:57.040 It'll be a humanitarian mission to assist, aid, and abet the world's poor population that wants to come in and suck off the U.S. taxpayer.

00:24:07.320 They call that a humanitarian mission, if you can believe that.

00:24:10.360 That's what's going to happen.

00:24:13.280 We have Commander Greg Bovino is with us for the entire hour.

00:24:18.080 I want to thank our sponsor, Birch Gold.

00:30:10.280 k band commander i haven't had time because we want to get through as much possible really

00:30:17.840 welcoming to the war room i hope you know that you are one of the great heroes of the show we

00:30:22.360 We spent so much time in the first year following your every move.

00:30:26.820 And nothing can trigger our audience more than Bruce Springsteen's The Streets of Minneapolis.

00:30:32.500 Your thoughts about that song and what it says?

00:30:37.860 Well, Steve, I'll tell you, when Bruce Springsteen is singing a song like that, first and foremost, it lets me and the Mean Green team, that's a moniker for the U.S. Border Patrol,

00:30:48.680 Well, it lets us know that we were over the target doing what we needed to do.

00:30:53.200 If he is that triggered enough to come out of another retirement at whatever advanced age he is and try to sing a song like that, then we were definitely doing what we needed to do there in Minneapolis.

00:31:07.360 I'll tell you, you know, folks ask me if I have regrets and things like that.

00:31:10.820 And I do. And my regrets are that we didn't truly get to that mass deportation that we had in our strategy, which was a lot bigger, a lot more overarching than what you saw there in Minneapolis.

00:31:24.660 I would love to have given Springsteen a real reason to write a song with some additional lyrics.

00:31:34.120 The people we saw and what he's proposing, I just want to make sure the audience understands from you.

00:31:40.820 who was there at the, you're at the tip of the tip of the spear.

00:31:44.880 They have no intention. 0.98

00:31:47.820 In fact, they want more illegal non-citizens in this country, correct? 0.98

00:31:51.760 You saw, there's nothing that can make them happy. 0.96

00:31:55.580 They don't want to see the worst of the worst deported.

00:31:58.840 They don't want to see the criminal element.

00:32:00.300 They certainly don't want to see mass deportations.

00:32:02.440 In fact, of the 20 million, they would gladly have another 20 million coming to the country, sir?

00:32:08.620 Absolutely. Absolutely.

00:32:10.240 Those folks were some of the most confused individuals I've ever encountered in my life, especially in Minnesota and Minneapolis.

00:32:19.700 We could arrest a child rapist right in front of them, and they would attack us.

00:32:24.560 It didn't matter.

00:32:25.720 These folks have been fed so much, so much communist-type tripe by the Fries and the Tim Waltses and those types that I honestly don't think they can think for themselves.

00:32:37.900 That's why I call them cannon fodder.

00:32:40.360 They're sent out to do things they don't even know why they're doing them. 0.80

00:32:45.820 And, you know, it's too bad it came to that, that they choose illegal aliens, illegal alien criminals over their fellow American citizens.

00:32:56.480 Look at what's happening in the country.

00:32:58.500 Folks can't even afford a house.

00:32:59.960 They can't even afford a house.

00:33:01.420 These anarchists and rioters that are rioting against us can't even afford rent, and to buy a house, and a large part of that reason is illegal aliens in their communities driving up rent.

00:33:13.740 You try to tell them that, and you know their eyes glaze over, and it goes right over their head.

00:33:19.980 So a lot of those folks are almost beyond help, it seems.

00:33:24.880 With this, we would watch you guys in the patriotic, brave Border Patrol and ICE agents out there.

00:33:31.600 These people, it's almost like a demonic spirit.

00:33:33.940 You were there.

00:33:34.560 I want to make sure I'm not putting words in your mouth.

00:33:36.440 When you're there, is there any way to reason to them?

00:33:39.120 Is there any way to talk about the country, the patriotism of the country, anything about the rule of law?

00:33:43.700 Because the things we saw and we watched it all.

00:33:46.900 We'd have Ben Burquam.

00:33:48.120 We had, you know, Kevin Pasovic.

00:33:50.020 We had our own reporters out there.

00:33:51.920 And it was scary.

00:33:52.860 We had to pull our guys back several times from really being torn apart by this crowd.

00:33:57.280 How scary is it, and is there any way really to reason with them as American citizens?

00:34:05.780 I never really got too far in the reasoning part with them because they were more about violence

00:34:11.780 and trying to find a way to either stop an operation or harm a board of vigil agents.

00:34:18.480 And as far as reasoning, the only time I ever maybe made some headway is after I arrested one of them, perhaps for assault, and then would talk with them.

00:34:29.300 And then they would oftentimes recant what they were doing and say, hey, I probably shouldn't have done that.

00:34:35.020 I'm sorry.

00:34:35.740 When they're alone.

00:34:36.520 But with that mob mentality, with what they've been fed by mainstream news like CNN, the same CNN that Mullen went on to talk about TPS, they've been fed so much by that that I think they're beyond having any rational thought.

00:34:56.120 And that's what I saw.

00:34:57.660 So, no, very, very unreasonable set of individuals there, not only in Minneapolis, but that was in all cities that we saw, which just we didn't really have the ability because of that softer approach that was already kicking in them to deal with those anarchists and rioters like we did there in Chicago and in Los Angeles and other areas.

00:35:19.660 What the MSNBCs and the CNNs, that information warfare, how much does that go to instigate this, sir?

00:35:30.340 Oftentimes what we would hear from politicians when they would spout off things on CNN or MSNBC, folks like Fry or Waltz, we would hear that same rhetoric echoed by the anarchists and rioters out on the street within 24 hours.

00:35:47.700 It was just like a dog whistle for them.

00:35:51.880 They paid attention to what was being said on those channels and other sources as well.

00:35:58.880 And we would hear it very soon after it was said.

00:36:02.240 So absolutely it had an effect.

00:36:04.320 You bet.

00:36:05.180 Almost an immediate effect.

00:36:08.860 Commander, I don't think people have had the opportunity to really find out much about you.

00:36:13.220 They've seen you in your official capacity.

00:36:14.800 Tell us about yourself.

00:36:15.600 Were you born?

00:36:16.660 What's your family?

00:36:17.700 Take us up to going to the Border Patrol. We'll get to the 30 years of your service to the country.

00:36:22.540 But get us up to there. Tell us about Greg Bovina.

00:36:27.860 Wow. That's an interesting question here at the War Room.

00:36:31.620 Oh, yeah, I was I was actually born in California.

00:36:34.520 My father was a veteran out serving in the military at the time during Vietnam and spent about six weeks in California.

00:36:42.380 I get ridiculed over that like you wouldn't believe in the Border Patrol.

00:36:45.880 boy, you were born in California. I really consider myself in North Carolina there.

00:36:51.000 I grew up there in Western North Carolina, up in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Fantastic place,

00:36:55.280 a lot of hunting, fishing, rural activities, rural lifestyle. So, you know, I spent a lot of,

00:37:02.100 most of my, most of my young childhood there in Western North Carolina, had a good healthy dose

00:37:08.120 of patriotism, founding fathers, you know, family was big on revolutionary war and that type of

00:37:15.240 things. So understanding those base principles of freedom, what it takes to attain freedom,

00:37:20.980 what it takes to plan for freedom, I was really thankful for that there from the folks,

00:37:29.160 whether it was parents, grandparents, or uncles, things like that. And then from there, I went to

00:37:35.440 college, Appalachian State University, Western Carolina University. I was actually a forestry

00:37:40.300 major. I love the outdoors. I'm actually a conservationist. Steve actually wrote a paper

00:37:47.640 there on illegal aliens and destruction of our nation's natural resources. Illegal aliens destroy

00:37:54.500 things that our sportsmen, our conservationists, since Gifford Pinchot and Teddy Roosevelt 100 0.94

00:38:01.080 years ago began our national park system. Those resources are being destroyed now like you

00:38:06.360 wouldn't believe and hey where are the environmental groups on that never hear anything about it so

00:38:12.860 uh did my uh graduate and undergraduate there joined the border patrol in 1996 i had a lot of

00:38:19.580 uh good history there but but how do i go how i go from a conservationist i gather once i'm

00:38:27.520 following the footsteps of teddy roosevelt to what inspired you you come from a military family

00:38:32.780 what inspired you to join the Border Patrol? Sure. Yeah. When I was a child there,

00:38:39.780 my grandfather had guns and ammo and outdoor life magazines like you wouldn't believe. They were

00:38:46.020 laying everywhere. So I was a pretty prolific reader at a young age. And I began reading those

00:38:51.160 articles. A lot of the Border Patrol agents would write into those magazines. They had some fantastic

00:38:56.300 stories, stories that were almost too crazy to believe. But it got me interested in the Border

00:39:01.980 patrol and you know i actually put my application and one of the things there that i found was those

00:39:08.320 stories were actually um not that outrageous look at what happened over the past year on our city

00:39:15.520 hopping campaign now who would have ever believed that would have happened so i had some some pretty

00:39:22.040 good mentors there from the border patrol that were actually uh in literature when you when you

00:39:27.580 When you signed up, it was when, and did you expect the time to make a 30-year career of it, or were you just going to test it out and let me figure out, like most people join the military, let me see how it is for a couple of years, and I'll see.

00:39:40.760 Did you have an idea that you would stay for a career, or was it something you were going to check out?

00:39:45.880 well i was going to check it out obviously at first and and and see i didn't want to be bored

00:39:52.300 obviously or or uh not have that sense of adventure that the that's synonymous with

00:39:57.300 the border patrol but within just a within just a few months of hitting the field after the border

00:40:01.680 patrol academy i i figured out pretty quick that the border patrol was a very very special

00:40:08.280 agency. Border, Steve, has always been America's secret there. The southwest border, always a

00:40:16.560 secret, kind of out of the limelight. A lot of things happen on the border that stay on the

00:40:20.880 border. Let's let the Border Patrol do its thing down there, and we're not really going to report

00:40:26.480 on it. And in that type of an atmosphere, a lot of good work being done, a lot of good people

00:40:34.760 there in the U.S. Border Patrol. I definitely wanted to be part of that. I wanted to do my part

00:40:39.040 there to secure the border. But in doing so, even from the first year I was in the Border Patrol,

00:40:45.720 I realized that there were problems here in the country, in the interior. That interior

00:40:51.680 operation mindset was quickly disappearing from the Border Patrol. So I wanted to stay

00:40:57.780 and at some point get back into the interior like the Border Patrol had always done

00:41:02.480 over its 102-year history and get back into the interior and right the ship.

00:41:08.660 Glad I stayed 30 years.

00:41:10.100 It took 30 years to do that, 30 years of waiting.

00:41:13.440 But when the time came, we were definitely ready.

00:41:18.420 We had that plan written.

00:41:19.720 We just took it off the shelf and implemented it.

00:41:21.580 So a fantastic career.

00:41:23.200 I'm glad I made that choice.

00:41:24.400 It was a good time.

00:41:25.200 How does a young boy from Western Carolina, God's country,

00:41:30.480 Like Appalachian State, Western Carolina, I went to undergraduate at a school up in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and I got a place out not too far from Yuma.

00:41:39.860 But just the environment, when you're in Yuma, that is the opposite ends of the spectrum from Western North Carolina.

00:41:47.580 As soon as you get in Border Patrol, did you realize that most of the border is kind of in places where it's pretty inhospitable?

00:41:54.460 It's not Western Carolina that's like God's paradise, sir?

00:41:58.360 uh you know somewhat but i was also outdoors almost all the time if you're a border virtual

00:42:05.360 agent and you like that conservation and conservationist mindset that's fantastic

00:42:10.160 career because you're going to be outdoors uh whether you're in wilderness areas or way out

00:42:15.140 in the desert uh desert's got its own beauty in a in a in a weird sort of a way so i enjoyed every

00:42:21.740 bit of it. Wherever I've been, I've always enjoyed some aspect of that. So I found the good there

00:42:29.600 in the border and geographically. A little hot there in Southern California when it gets up to

00:42:34.960 122 and you're patrolling at 122 on foot. Yeah, you tend to think about those nice cool summers

00:42:42.260 there in Western North Carolina, but we may do. Your dad's a Vietnam vet, so he knows about a

00:42:48.760 government not having the back of the institution, particularly the army and the military in Vietnam.

00:42:54.280 Did you get a sense when you first joined Border Patrol in those decades that the politicians would

00:42:59.440 talk a good game, but they really didn't have your back, not simply for coming to the interior,

00:43:04.300 but just for securing the border in that time? You bet. You bet. That was something that Border

00:43:10.600 Patrol agents knew. Those vacillations of politics have always plagued the Border Patrol. You'll get

00:43:16.840 a few tough-talking politicians and a few that probably truly do want to do the right thing with

00:43:21.300 securing the border in interior operations, but by and large, the majority want nothing to do with

00:43:27.520 it. That subject's too difficult for them. They love status quo. They love topics and subjects

00:43:33.640 that are not dangerous to them or their political careers or their power, so they stay well away

00:43:38.420 from it. So yes, it was very frustrating as a border patrol agent to see the work that could

00:43:43.260 be done that wasn't being done. We only got a couple of minutes and I want to make sure we

00:43:51.080 leave. We're looking forward to having you back on here. But you've been one of the biggest

00:43:54.600 voices about that. We got to get this. We got to address the issue that President Trump

00:44:00.500 got elected on, not simply the security of the border. And it does matter who's watching,

00:44:06.840 who's along the watchtower, because it's not going to be permanent.

00:44:10.660 This is about the mass deportations.

00:44:12.520 What is your sense right now?

00:44:14.880 You kind of shocked the country because you were such a leader.

00:44:18.860 Say, hey, look, it's not 20 million.

00:44:20.360 You know, you talk about these shows, what Biden let in, but it's really 100 million.

00:44:24.020 What is your recommendation to President Trump?

00:44:27.360 What is your recommendation to the American people about what we do with this issue of mass deportation, sir?

00:44:35.380 Approximately 80 million voters wanted mass deportations.

00:44:38.220 They didn't want limited deportations. When we talk about Vietnam War, that limited warfare that we had in Vietnam, look at what that did. We lost. And that limited mindset in terms of deportations amongst a very few, rhinos and then some liberals, and we need bureaucrats within the government, it's going to ruin it for everyone.

00:45:01.580 This is survival of the species, ladies and gentlemen. This is survival of America. So my advice is get to those mass deportations now. We've got the strategy. We've got the personnel, the training. We can enact mass deportations starting tomorrow. We're not doing that now.

00:45:19.880 once we surrendered, Minnesota mass deportation stopped. And when it stopped, we were only

00:45:25.700 scratching the surface of what was ahead. So get to those mass deportations and save America,

00:45:31.540 because that's what's at stake here. This is not some political talking point,

00:45:36.440 as you well know, Steve, and War Room and Steve Bannon have said it better than I could ever say

00:45:42.620 it as to what's at stake here. So get to those mass deportations now. It's not rocket science

00:45:48.120 for us. It's not rocket science for ICE and Border Patrol. We know what needs to be done,

00:45:52.920 how to do it. Is it going to be difficult? Absolutely. Is it going to be pretty neat

00:45:57.240 and clean every single time? No, it's not. We never said it would be. But we need to get to it

00:46:03.460 and get to it very quickly because time is running out. And then, as you alluded to before,

00:46:10.340 if something happens and a different type of regime comes in, look out. But if we can remove

00:46:16.880 those 100 million or those 106 million from the interior now makes it so much harder for them to 1.00

00:46:23.540 import more in in the future because those those illegal aliens and transnational criminal

00:46:29.040 organizations know that it can be done right now they don't know it can be done because we

00:46:34.580 capitulated never give up never capitulate you only make those enemies stronger by the way we're

00:46:41.700 going to go out with natasha owens response to uh bruce springsteen one of the favorite songs in

00:46:46.160 audience before i let you go look forward to having you back on here is the esprit de corps

00:46:50.960 in border patrol is esprit de corps in ice and is the functioning apparatus in dhs are they prepared

00:46:59.360 now if they got to go ahead from the president tomorrow to implement uh the strategic plan for

00:47:04.940 mass deportations of the 100 million sir they are that now when we talk about morale morale took a 1.00

00:47:11.300 hit after Minnesota is taking a hit now, especially with those feckless bureaucrats that are going

00:47:17.600 back and looking at some of those specific actions of ICE and Border Patrol. Definitely 1.00

00:47:24.640 took a hit, but they signed up to play the ballgame. They signed up for mass deportations.

00:47:31.680 They're ready to go. So yes, that esprit de corps, that morale comes back very quickly when you have

00:47:38.400 good leadership in place that takes care of this board of patrol agents and ICE officers,

00:47:44.060 not ridicules them, and allows them the power and authority to do their jobs, to defend and

00:47:53.400 uphold the Constitution and support the taxpayer of the United States. You bet we can get it back

00:47:58.740 in an instant, but it takes leadership, not hollow rhetoric and encouraging Haitians to

00:48:08.000 apply for paperwork. In the right set of circumstances, would you come back and lead

00:48:15.060 this effort, sir? Short answer is yes, but this effort should be treated like this is the new

00:48:25.180 war on American soil. We were over in Iran and doing some things over there. The real war is

00:48:31.240 here and for me to come back it's going it would have to be an overarching everything goes we throw

00:48:38.360 everything at it and deport those hundred million before any other regime can stop us so something

00:48:44.740 like that if you want to see overarching and you want to see a real effort that i'll certainly be

00:48:51.220 happy to lead that but if i come back we're not playing tiddlywinks commander bovino you are a

00:48:59.380 Patriot and one of the greatest living Americans in this 250th of the week that kicks it off for

00:49:04.720 the commemoration and celebration of the birth of the nation. It's an honor to start the week with

00:49:09.400 you. Where do people, we got about a minute, where are your coordinates? Where do people still get

00:49:14.080 you? Gregory K. Bovino on X, mainly on X there, Steve. So you can get me there. I will have a

00:49:22.620 book coming out one of these days and I'll let you know about that. And that'll have all the

00:49:27.760 juice that you and I have been talking about. All the juice. It's coming.

00:49:33.320 Commander Bovino, honored to have you on here. Thank you, sir. Look forward to having you back.

00:49:37.780 God bless, Steve.

00:49:40.460 One of the greatest living Americans and patriotism personified right there.

00:49:46.680 That job was hard. Needed to have his back. One day, like Cincinnati's, maybe we'll get him back

00:49:54.120 from the plow also, like President Trump.

00:49:56.260 We're going to leave you with Natasha Owens.

00:49:58.920 We'll see you tomorrow morning,

00:50:00.080 10 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time,

00:50:01.580 when you'll be back in the world.

00:50:03.100 I still believe in freedom

00:50:09.140 Cause I've got a higher hope

00:50:12.400 I'll keep singing for America

00:50:16.000 Even if you won't

00:50:19.280 Where is a song of compassion

00:50:22.940 Where is your song for the hurting man?

00:50:27.300 I was born in the USA and I used to be a loyal fan.

00:50:33.460 Oh, you preached from your mansion and you lost that human touch.

00:50:41.200 I thank God you're not.

00:50:44.100 I thank God you're not.

00:50:52.940 You know, you still need help from the boss.

00:51:01.900 You need help from the boss.
