00:00:00 Hey, hey, jump that photo, jump that photo. 1.00
00:00:16 You are a f*****g pretend coward chicken s**t. 1.00
00:00:22 You are not a soldier. 1.00
00:00:25 Brown Brett.
00:00:35 Brown. 0.63
00:00:54 This is the zone we were allotted to protest.
00:01:24 people in minnesota want to know when this surge will end has there been a date set is there a
00:01:53 certain number of people you want to apprehend before you decide to ease the surge?
00:02:00 We continue to apprehend dozens, if not hundreds, of these criminal illegal aliens a day.
00:02:05 We're going to continue conducting that mission. We're not going to put a date or a timeline
00:02:10 to stop this mission. This mission's ongoing until there are no more of those criminal illegal aliens 0.99
00:02:17 roaming the streets of Minneapolis.
00:02:19 Is there a number, though? You have to have a file.
00:02:22 Well, there is a number and it's called all of them.
00:02:25 The purpose of the revolution is the revolution.
00:02:28 There's no there's there's no issue you can settle with them.
00:02:32 That's not how they roll.
00:02:33 And they have a history of success in doing this, that they're using this playbook.
00:02:38 They're using Lenin's playbook, the Bolshevik playbook, kind of an updated version of the French Revolution playbook. 0.58
00:02:45 They know it works.
00:02:46 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 And he says, what are your thoughts? What are your thoughts about the French Revolution?
00:02:59 And this is 1972. He says too early to tell.
00:03:04 That's because he knew there would be Minnesotas in the future. Right.
00:03:08 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 And in addition, if you're going to do something like this, which is horrible to let Bovino go,
00:03:22 who's been heroic in what he's done with the world against him, what'd you get for it?
00:03:27 I don't see them talking about walls coming to the microphone with Fry and saying Fry saying I was wrong.
00:03:32 They're criminals. They're criminals. They should be arrested. 0.98
00:03:37 Instead of Bovino leaving Minnesota, they should be leaving Minnesota
00:03:40 and going to some sort of holding tank until we can put them on trial.
00:03:46 The deaths of the two people are as much their responsibility as anyone else.
00:03:52 And maybe I'll throw the mainstream media in there for instigating this
00:03:55 and instigating it, who is a patriot and a hero and had a plan.
00:04:00 And Bovina will tell you, hey, there's 100 million illegal aliens in the country.
00:04:04 Let's play it again.
00:04:05 The former Border Patrol official, Gerger Bovina, has been a critical saying.
00:04:09 I never met the guy.
00:04:10 I never met the guy.
00:04:12 No, he's irrelevant to me.
00:04:13 I don't know who he is.
00:04:15 You don't know who he is.
00:04:16 He's relevant to you.
00:04:17 You better find out who he is because you don't know what you're doing on your job.
00:04:22 There should be tougher enforcement up there in New Jersey.
00:04:25 That's Fort Apache right there. 0.94
00:04:28 The more you show weakness, these people are savages. 1.00
00:04:32 They're like dogs and animals. 0.98
00:04:33 The more they smell, they can feel weakness and fear.
00:04:37 They're going to keep coming.
00:04:38 I thought we made Antifa a terrorist organization.
00:04:42 Why is Treasury not shut down all sources of funding?
00:04:45 Why are all of them not rounded up?
00:04:47 That's not a peaceful protest.
00:04:50 That's not people trying to be there and peaceful protesting.
00:04:53 No, that is a riot.
00:04:55 That is an act of terrorism.
00:04:57 When are we going to stop having press conferences and start doing it?
00:05:00 Bovino did it. 0.93
00:05:03 Bovino told you it's 100 million illegal alien invaders.
00:05:07 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 Because clearly that would have a better take on what's happening right now.
00:05:18 Now you're just taking incoming. And any compromise from them, they're going to keep pressing it.
00:05:25 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 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 The American people voted for mass deportations. The American people want mass deportations.
00:05:38 The American people will come out in the fall and support mass deportations.
00:05:44 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 Monday, 29 June, the year of our Lord, 2026.
00:06:03 Very honored to have the man himself, the commander, Bovino.
00:06:10 Sir, talk to me about what you've seen just this last weekend.
00:06:16 We finally had the Supreme Court, which was a disaster today.
00:06:19 The Supreme Court was great for us on Friday with TPS.
00:06:24 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 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 We've had politicians like DeWine of Ohio coming in and saying how great they are.
00:06:43 They're amazing.
00:06:44 They're buying homes.
00:06:46 They're supporting the community. 0.87
00:06:48 They're the cheap labor that the whole country's based upon. 0.99
00:06:51 We had Mandami, and we'll play that later.
00:06:54 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 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 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 to force federal law what is your take of what you've seen over the weekend particularly about
00:07:15 folks in charge and in power that want to enforce federal law especially when the Supreme Court has
00:07:21 are back, sir. Well, Steve, thanks for having me. It's good to see you. The Supreme Court handed
00:07:29 President Trump and the American citizens, as you know, a resounding victory for TPS. That was 0.80
00:07:35 massive there on Friday. What a fantastic decision that was, because not only for those Haitians,
00:07:43 but we can traverse torrents and look at other populations as well in the future. What a great
00:07:49 decision that was, but look what happened over the weekend with Mumdami and then Mullen. You talk
00:07:56 about trashing a fantastic, resounding victory, and we had Mullen practically trying to coerce
00:08:07 or perhaps give advice to those Haitians to put their paperwork in to become citizens.
00:08:13 Mumdami actually said he's not going to enforce federal law at all in any form or fashion.
00:08:20 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 The American taxpayer wants mass deportations. 0.72
00:08:30 They want deportations of all illegal aliens and those who refuse to assimilate, and they want them now. 0.98
00:08:37 Why aren't those leaders, why are our elected leaders and our bureaucrats there in D.C. not getting that message?
00:08:47 Commander, the TPS didn't surprise us.
00:08:50 I mean, it went our way, but it's been in the works forever.
00:08:54 Just walk people through in the normal logistics planning, because now, you know, we just move heaven and earth.
00:08:59 They get a supplemental bill.
00:09:01 They got all the money they need.
00:09:02 They say they got all the agents they need.
00:09:05 They now get the Supreme Court in back of them.
00:09:07 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 came down one way or the other but if it came if it broke our way the buses would be rolling
00:09:19 the plane we would already contracted the planes uh we would have everything just the logistics
00:09:24 chain would be absolutely ready to get ready to ship these people out sir strategic planning
00:09:31 in terms of immigration enforcement is essential take a look what happened over the past year
00:09:37 when we were going city to city, that city hopping campaign. That didn't just happen, Steve,
00:09:43 in an overnight planning session. That was five years in the making. So yes, they'd had plenty
00:09:49 of time, plenty of lead time there to understand that TPS was probably going to be something 0.67
00:09:56 that was going away, especially for the Haitians, and having a set of plans to pull right off the
00:10:03 shelf, enact immediately, that's essential, especially in immigration enforcement. When you
00:10:08 have the ability to do that, you have to act quickly. You have to act quickly because, as you
00:10:14 know, there's federal judges and things like that that'll put a stop to that immediately if they
00:10:19 can. So enforcing that right up front, pronto, is very important. So why that's not being enforced
00:10:27 while we're talking about folks can apply for citizenship or documents or that type of thing
00:10:33 over the weekend instead of those buses rolling downtown New York City or wherever they need to
00:10:37 roll is beyond me. But planning for immigration enforcement, both strategically and tactically,
00:10:44 is something that border security professionals and immigration professionals know full well
00:10:51 that can make the difference between success and failure. And again, non-border security
00:10:56 professionals in key positions. I don't know. So much of this is information warfare. What does
00:11:04 it tell the people that have no intention of allowing officials at any level to deal with 0.97
00:11:12 the illegal alien invasion here? In fact, they will fight it. These Marxist, jihadist, 0.97
00:11:17 communist, all of it. What does it do when a guy's on Jake Tapper's show on the big Sunday
00:11:23 morning. This is the Sunday morning talk show for CNN. What signal is it sending them, sir?
00:11:31 What sends a dual signal? One, to those jihadists, those terrorists, those rioters,
00:11:36 and those anarchists that you just mentioned, it does send a signal to them that, hey,
00:11:41 we can win this thing. We can give aid, comfort, and relief to illegal aliens.
00:11:46 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 Hey, apparently that's successful and that was proven out this past weekend.
00:12:06 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 And what that does, that empowers them.
00:12:28 It's what we call in the Border Patrol a draw.
00:12:31 That is a draw.
00:12:33 Hey, you know what?
00:12:34 Look, they're getting soft on immigration there.
00:12:36 let's go ahead and cross the border, because what's next? Amnesty, perhaps? So it creates
00:12:41 that draw. So we empower the anarchists, the rioters, those bad people. And then we also
00:12:48 empower illegal aliens and transnational criminal organizations that smuggle those folks across the
00:12:53 border. We worked awfully darn hard to get that border secure. Trump did a great job. The day he
00:12:59 took office, the border started getting very secure. But one of the things that hurts a secure
00:13:04 border is a draw. If we create a draw, a reason for someone to come into the country, then that
00:13:12 definitely puts us back several steps. This is like when Biden, obviously in the NGOs,
00:13:20 we're working at this plan. All of a sudden through the Darien Gap, it's almost like a
00:13:24 gravitational pull, a draw into the country that there's going to be benefits for you. We're really
00:13:31 not serious about enforcing this. And that's what you mean by a draw, almost like a gravitational
00:13:35 pull to pull more transnational criminalists, more jihadists, more illegal aliens into the 0.75
00:13:42 country. Is that what it means? Exactly. And in the modern age of instant communications,
00:13:50 the word gets out, not just say in Mexico or Central America, but globally. It's across the
00:13:57 globe in an instant, that that draw, that reason for being able to come into the United States,
00:14:04 that reaches untold billions of people, especially those that want to come in here
00:14:10 into the United States, like those Haitians in New York City. By the way, I believe over 40% 0.90
00:14:17 of those are on some type of public assistance, the ones that Mumdami seems to support over
00:14:23 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 now because, hey, we've got the Secretary of Homeland Security. We've got Munami and DeWine
00:14:34 and others that are giving me a great reason to come instead of the opposite, providing a reason
00:14:41 not to come like law enforcement. It really, it sets us back. I want to go back. You said you
00:14:51 talked about strategic plan and been five years in the making. When President Trump, when in those
00:14:57 years in the wilderness, as we built this plan to kind of dovetail off of the first term,
00:15:05 it kind of was threefold. Number one, and these can happen concurrently. Number one, we have to
00:15:13 seal the border. They've had 20 million come in under Biden's watch, at least. We must seal the
00:15:18 border be serious about this time number two there's a whole host of bad hombres here that
00:15:24 you know criminal criminal class etc but number three the 20 million it got to go bad hombre or
00:15:31 not 20 million we need mass deportation so you had seal the border remove the criminal class
00:15:38 mass deportations so walk me through let's go back in time because i remember the early days
00:15:45 of the administration. We're hitting on all cylinders. You guys are, you know, there's a
00:15:50 serious plan to seal the border immediately. We were just told for years and years and years,
00:15:54 and the Biden lied that, oh, this is impossible. Sealing the border happened very, very, very
00:15:59 quickly, I think in the first 60, first two months. Then you've got a plan for the bad hombres,
00:16:04 but you've also got from Chicago to Los Angeles, a major effort on mass deportations. Can you walk
00:16:13 us through it and how you think each part of that worked? Sure. Everything starts at the border.
00:16:21 What happens at the border has never stayed at the border, Steve. You know that. Folks that cross
00:16:26 that border illegally don't stay at the border. They go right into the interior and they set up
00:16:31 shop in the interior, whether they're a criminal or a regular illegal alien. But one thing that I 0.81
00:16:38 think is very important for the audience to know is once they set up shop in the interior,
00:16:44 if there's not a mechanism to remove them back out of the country, that in itself hurts border
00:16:51 security right along the border because, hey, make it past the border patrol. And guess what?
00:16:56 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 or a Haitian that's utilizing public assistance. So part of our strategy was concurrently,
00:17:08 running heavy border security. As you know, the military is on the border now. Fantastic
00:17:13 military assisting border patrol to shut that border down. That's great. But concurrent with
00:17:18 that, you must have a very overarching and very tough interior immigration strategy and enforcement
00:17:26 model. Because once they make it past the border, when they realize, well, gosh, you know what? I'm
00:17:32 not safe. I see a bunch of border patrol agents there in Los Angeles and then Chicago and then
00:17:38 Charlotte and then New Orleans and then Minnesota. So it makes it very, very difficult for those
00:17:45 folks to try to cross the border because there is no safe space for them anywhere in the interior.
00:17:52 So border security and interior enforcement are closely linked. We missed that prior to Trump 45.
00:17:58 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 Nothing could be further from the truth.
00:18:11 It has to happen at the same time.
00:18:13 We must do that at the same time.
00:18:15 And that was part of our strategy.
00:18:17 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 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 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 And it really doesn't matter.
00:18:52 We want all of them.
00:18:54 It makes a difference.
00:18:56 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 They're going to vote us out. 0.99
00:19:14 They're going to outbreed us. 0.95
00:19:16 We need to remove all of these people. 1.00
00:19:18 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 aliens, terrorists, and folks with significant criminal histories. I'm going to say that again. 0.80
00:19:31 They're more of a threat because our culture is at stake here. We can always get the terrorists,
00:19:37 the criminal aliens, the worst of the worst. They're always going to have that criminal record. 0.75
00:19:41 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 time, but we've got a very small window to go after those hundred million other illegal aliens
00:19:55 right here in the United States via mass deportations. So that was also baked into that
00:20:01 strategy we're talking about is doing that. Our culture's at stake. Our national identity's at
00:20:06 stake. Our values, traditions, and culture is at stake. We need them all gone at the same time.
00:20:14 I'm going to come back to that in a second. I'm going to put a pin in there because
00:20:17 one of the most profound things I think ever said in the war room. And we've had a reputation of
00:20:22 having people who have said pretty profound things that have become not just winning strategies to
00:20:28 take political power, but also to implement that power. I want to make sure people understand this,
00:20:35 is that on sealing the border and making sure that we've stopped this onslaught,
00:20:41 we've done what we could do. We've codified some of it. We're building a wall and doing
00:20:47 and other things. We've got the Army down there. How comfortable are you that if we, for some
00:20:53 reason, lose the House and particularly get a guy like Hakeem Jeffries and some of these radicals
00:20:59 in New York City in the House, running the Appropriations Committee in a January, lose in
00:21:05 November, January this year. And if a guy like Newsom or Ossoff or one of these people with
00:21:11 even a more radical VP wins in 28. How secure is that border, given those scenarios, sir?
00:21:22 Steve, the border is only as secure as the folks that are manning it. And look at what happened
00:21:27 under Biden. 80% of that border went unmanned. Now, how would that happen? Well, I'll tell you
00:21:35 what, when you have people coming across the border by the millions, you pull your border
00:21:40 agents back and have them changing diapers, doing the paperwork, actually completing the
00:21:46 smuggling cycle. That's what we said in the Border Patrol. Hey, we're just completing the
00:21:51 smuggling cycle now with what Biden and that regime was doing. So you pull all those agents
00:21:57 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 through. There's a lot of numbers, 20 million, 30 million, 40 million that may have came in under
00:22:08 Biden, we really have no clue, because 80% of the border was wide open. So if you get a Hakeem
00:22:14 Jeffries or any of that other cast of characters that you just mentioned, absolutely, they've
00:22:20 already proof-tested the concept. So if you think last time was bad, what do you think's going to
00:22:26 happen the next time that type of a regime takes office? If it was 30 million or 40 million last
00:22:35 time? It'll be another 100 million coming in. Good night, Sally. Good night, folks. Good night,
00:22:41 America. So am I worried about that? You bet I'm worried about that. I spent 30 years on that
00:22:46 border, and I have never seen anything like what I saw under the Biden administration. Don't get
00:22:52 me wrong. I was aggravated with Clinton, with Obama, even aggravated with George Bush and his
00:22:58 lack of interior enforcement operations, but nothing like we saw under Biden. They've proof
00:23:03 tested the concept. And if you think it was bad last time, they already know what to do,
00:23:09 how to do it, where to do it, when to do it. Look out then.
00:23:17 It's only as secure as the people that man it. In other words, you're comfortable. We have sealed
00:23:23 the border. It's gone to a trickle, maybe even zero. We're putting technology down there. We're
00:23:28 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 on what political force political will you have in back of the ability to keep it sealed
00:23:40 you bet the first thing they'll do is pull the military you can bet that regime they're going
00:23:46 to pull the military and then the next thing you know it'll be a humanitarian mission they call
00:23:51 that a humanitarian mission border patrols a law enforcement agency not a humanitarian agency
00:23:57 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 They call that a humanitarian mission, if you can believe that.
00:24:10 That's what's going to happen.

00:27:01 President Trump is dropping a 100 trillion dollar bomb on the globalist.
00:27:07 Jerome Powell's term has come to a close and he's installing a real America first Fed chair who will, according to Jim Rickards,
00:27:16 slash rates and supercharge our re-industrialization.
00:27:20 This is what one man is calling Trump's gift on America's 250th anniversary,
00:27:26 unleashing a historic super cycle in American mining, rare earths, uranium, and gold.

00:30:10 k band commander i haven't had time because we want to get through as much possible really
00:30:17 welcoming to the war room i hope you know that you are one of the great heroes of the show we
00:30:22 We spent so much time in the first year following your every move.
00:30:26 And nothing can trigger our audience more than Bruce Springsteen's The Streets of Minneapolis.
00:30:32 Your thoughts about that song and what it says?
00:30:37 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 Well, it lets us know that we were over the target doing what we needed to do.
00:30:53 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 I'll tell you, you know, folks ask me if I have regrets and things like that.
00:31:10 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 I would love to have given Springsteen a real reason to write a song with some additional lyrics.
00:31:34 The people we saw and what he's proposing, I just want to make sure the audience understands from you.
00:31:40 who was there at the, you're at the tip of the tip of the spear.
00:31:44 They have no intention. 0.98
00:31:47 In fact, they want more illegal non-citizens in this country, correct? 0.98
00:31:51 You saw, there's nothing that can make them happy. 0.96
00:31:55 They don't want to see the worst of the worst deported.
00:31:58 They don't want to see the criminal element.
00:32:00 They certainly don't want to see mass deportations.
00:32:02 In fact, of the 20 million, they would gladly have another 20 million coming to the country, sir?
00:32:08 Absolutely. Absolutely.
00:32:10 Those folks were some of the most confused individuals I've ever encountered in my life, especially in Minnesota and Minneapolis.
00:32:19 We could arrest a child rapist right in front of them, and they would attack us.
00:32:24 It didn't matter.
00:32:25 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 That's why I call them cannon fodder.
00:32:40 They're sent out to do things they don't even know why they're doing them. 0.80
00:32:45 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 Look at what's happening in the country.
00:32:58 Folks can't even afford a house.
00:32:59 They can't even afford a house.
00:33:01 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 You try to tell them that, and you know their eyes glaze over, and it goes right over their head.
00:33:19 So a lot of those folks are almost beyond help, it seems.
00:33:24 With this, we would watch you guys in the patriotic, brave Border Patrol and ICE agents out there.
00:33:31 These people, it's almost like a demonic spirit.
00:33:33 You were there.
00:33:34 I want to make sure I'm not putting words in your mouth.
00:33:36 When you're there, is there any way to reason to them?
00:33:39 Is there any way to talk about the country, the patriotism of the country, anything about the rule of law?
00:33:43 Because the things we saw and we watched it all.
00:33:46 We'd have Ben Burquam.
00:33:48 We had, you know, Kevin Pasovic.
00:33:50 We had our own reporters out there.
00:33:51 And it was scary.
00:33:52 We had to pull our guys back several times from really being torn apart by this crowd.
00:33:57 How scary is it, and is there any way really to reason with them as American citizens?
00:34:05 I never really got too far in the reasoning part with them because they were more about violence
00:34:11 and trying to find a way to either stop an operation or harm a board of vigil agents.
00:34:18 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 And then they would oftentimes recant what they were doing and say, hey, I probably shouldn't have done that.
00:34:35 I'm sorry.
00:34:35 When they're alone.
00:34:36 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 And that's what I saw.
00:34:57 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 What the MSNBCs and the CNNs, that information warfare, how much does that go to instigate this, sir?
00:35:30 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 It was just like a dog whistle for them.
00:35:51 They paid attention to what was being said on those channels and other sources as well.
00:35:58 And we would hear it very soon after it was said.
00:36:02 So absolutely it had an effect.
00:36:04 You bet.
00:36:05 Almost an immediate effect.
00:36:08 Commander, I don't think people have had the opportunity to really find out much about you.
00:36:13 They've seen you in your official capacity.
00:36:14 Tell us about yourself.
00:36:15 Were you born?
00:36:16 What's your family?
00:36:17 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 But get us up to there. Tell us about Greg Bovina.
00:36:27 Wow. That's an interesting question here at the War Room.
00:36:31 Oh, yeah, I was I was actually born in California.
00:36:34 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 I get ridiculed over that like you wouldn't believe in the Border Patrol.
00:36:45 boy, you were born in California. I really consider myself in North Carolina there.
00:36:51 I grew up there in Western North Carolina, up in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Fantastic place,
00:36:55 a lot of hunting, fishing, rural activities, rural lifestyle. So, you know, I spent a lot of,
00:37:02 most of my, most of my young childhood there in Western North Carolina, had a good healthy dose
00:37:08 of patriotism, founding fathers, you know, family was big on revolutionary war and that type of
00:37:15 things. So understanding those base principles of freedom, what it takes to attain freedom,
00:37:20 what it takes to plan for freedom, I was really thankful for that there from the folks,
00:37:29 whether it was parents, grandparents, or uncles, things like that. And then from there, I went to
00:37:35 college, Appalachian State University, Western Carolina University. I was actually a forestry
00:37:40 major. I love the outdoors. I'm actually a conservationist. Steve actually wrote a paper
00:37:47 there on illegal aliens and destruction of our nation's natural resources. Illegal aliens destroy
00:37:54 things that our sportsmen, our conservationists, since Gifford Pinchot and Teddy Roosevelt 100 0.94
00:38:01 years ago began our national park system. Those resources are being destroyed now like you
00:38:06 wouldn't believe and hey where are the environmental groups on that never hear anything about it so
00:38:12 uh did my uh graduate and undergraduate there joined the border patrol in 1996 i had a lot of
00:38:19 uh good history there but but how do i go how i go from a conservationist i gather once i'm
00:38:27 following the footsteps of teddy roosevelt to what inspired you you come from a military family
00:38:32 what inspired you to join the Border Patrol? Sure. Yeah. When I was a child there,
00:38:39 my grandfather had guns and ammo and outdoor life magazines like you wouldn't believe. They were
00:38:46 laying everywhere. So I was a pretty prolific reader at a young age. And I began reading those
00:38:51 articles. A lot of the Border Patrol agents would write into those magazines. They had some fantastic
00:38:56 stories, stories that were almost too crazy to believe. But it got me interested in the Border
00:39:01 patrol and you know i actually put my application and one of the things there that i found was those
00:39:08 stories were actually um not that outrageous look at what happened over the past year on our city
00:39:15 hopping campaign now who would have ever believed that would have happened so i had some some pretty
00:39:22 good mentors there from the border patrol that were actually uh in literature when you when you
00:39:27 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 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 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 obviously or or uh not have that sense of adventure that the that's synonymous with
00:39:57 the border patrol but within just a within just a few months of hitting the field after the border
00:40:01 patrol academy i i figured out pretty quick that the border patrol was a very very special
00:40:08 agency. Border, Steve, has always been America's secret there. The southwest border, always a
00:40:16 secret, kind of out of the limelight. A lot of things happen on the border that stay on the
00:40:20 border. Let's let the Border Patrol do its thing down there, and we're not really going to report
00:40:26 on it. And in that type of an atmosphere, a lot of good work being done, a lot of good people
00:40:34 there in the U.S. Border Patrol. I definitely wanted to be part of that. I wanted to do my part
00:40:39 there to secure the border. But in doing so, even from the first year I was in the Border Patrol,
00:40:45 I realized that there were problems here in the country, in the interior. That interior
00:40:51 operation mindset was quickly disappearing from the Border Patrol. So I wanted to stay
00:40:57 and at some point get back into the interior like the Border Patrol had always done
00:41:02 over its 102-year history and get back into the interior and right the ship.
00:41:08 Glad I stayed 30 years.
00:41:10 It took 30 years to do that, 30 years of waiting.
00:41:13 But when the time came, we were definitely ready.
00:41:18 We had that plan written.
00:41:19 We just took it off the shelf and implemented it.
00:41:21 So a fantastic career.
00:41:23 I'm glad I made that choice.
00:41:24 It was a good time.
00:41:25 How does a young boy from Western Carolina, God's country,
00:41:30 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 But just the environment, when you're in Yuma, that is the opposite ends of the spectrum from Western North Carolina.
00:41:47 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 It's not Western Carolina that's like God's paradise, sir?
00:41:58 uh you know somewhat but i was also outdoors almost all the time if you're a border virtual
00:42:05 agent and you like that conservation and conservationist mindset that's fantastic
00:42:10 career because you're going to be outdoors uh whether you're in wilderness areas or way out
00:42:15 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 bit of it. Wherever I've been, I've always enjoyed some aspect of that. So I found the good there
00:42:29 in the border and geographically. A little hot there in Southern California when it gets up to
00:42:34 122 and you're patrolling at 122 on foot. Yeah, you tend to think about those nice cool summers
00:42:42 there in Western North Carolina, but we may do. Your dad's a Vietnam vet, so he knows about a
00:42:48 government not having the back of the institution, particularly the army and the military in Vietnam.
00:42:54 Did you get a sense when you first joined Border Patrol in those decades that the politicians would
00:42:59 talk a good game, but they really didn't have your back, not simply for coming to the interior,
00:43:04 but just for securing the border in that time? You bet. You bet. That was something that Border
00:43:10 Patrol agents knew. Those vacillations of politics have always plagued the Border Patrol. You'll get
00:43:16 a few tough-talking politicians and a few that probably truly do want to do the right thing with
00:43:21 securing the border in interior operations, but by and large, the majority want nothing to do with
00:43:27 it. That subject's too difficult for them. They love status quo. They love topics and subjects
00:43:33 that are not dangerous to them or their political careers or their power, so they stay well away
00:43:38 from it. So yes, it was very frustrating as a border patrol agent to see the work that could
00:43:43 be done that wasn't being done. We only got a couple of minutes and I want to make sure we
00:43:51 leave. We're looking forward to having you back on here. But you've been one of the biggest
00:43:54 voices about that. We got to get this. We got to address the issue that President Trump
00:44:00 got elected on, not simply the security of the border. And it does matter who's watching,
00:44:06 who's along the watchtower, because it's not going to be permanent.
00:44:10 This is about the mass deportations.
00:44:12 What is your sense right now?
00:44:14 You kind of shocked the country because you were such a leader.
00:44:18 Say, hey, look, it's not 20 million.
00:44:20 You know, you talk about these shows, what Biden let in, but it's really 100 million.
00:44:24 What is your recommendation to President Trump?
00:44:27 What is your recommendation to the American people about what we do with this issue of mass deportation, sir?
00:44:35 Approximately 80 million voters wanted mass deportations.
00:44:38 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 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 once we surrendered, Minnesota mass deportation stopped. And when it stopped, we were only
00:45:25 scratching the surface of what was ahead. So get to those mass deportations and save America,
00:45:31 because that's what's at stake here. This is not some political talking point,
00:45:36 as you well know, Steve, and War Room and Steve Bannon have said it better than I could ever say
00:45:42 it as to what's at stake here. So get to those mass deportations now. It's not rocket science
00:45:48 for us. It's not rocket science for ICE and Border Patrol. We know what needs to be done,
00:45:52 how to do it. Is it going to be difficult? Absolutely. Is it going to be pretty neat
00:45:57 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 and get to it very quickly because time is running out. And then, as you alluded to before,
00:46:10 if something happens and a different type of regime comes in, look out. But if we can remove
00:46:16 those 100 million or those 106 million from the interior now makes it so much harder for them to 1.00
00:46:23 import more in in the future because those those illegal aliens and transnational criminal
00:46:29 organizations know that it can be done right now they don't know it can be done because we
00:46:34 capitulated never give up never capitulate you only make those enemies stronger by the way we're
00:46:41 going to go out with natasha owens response to uh bruce springsteen one of the favorite songs in
00:46:46 audience before i let you go look forward to having you back on here is the esprit de corps
00:46:50 in border patrol is esprit de corps in ice and is the functioning apparatus in dhs are they prepared
00:46:59 now if they got to go ahead from the president tomorrow to implement uh the strategic plan for
00:47:04 mass deportations of the 100 million sir they are that now when we talk about morale morale took a 1.00
00:47:11 hit after Minnesota is taking a hit now, especially with those feckless bureaucrats that are going
00:47:17 back and looking at some of those specific actions of ICE and Border Patrol. Definitely 1.00
00:47:24 took a hit, but they signed up to play the ballgame. They signed up for mass deportations.
00:47:31 They're ready to go. So yes, that esprit de corps, that morale comes back very quickly when you have
00:47:38 good leadership in place that takes care of this board of patrol agents and ICE officers,
00:47:44 not ridicules them, and allows them the power and authority to do their jobs, to defend and
00:47:53 uphold the Constitution and support the taxpayer of the United States. You bet we can get it back
00:47:58 in an instant, but it takes leadership, not hollow rhetoric and encouraging Haitians to
00:48:08 apply for paperwork. In the right set of circumstances, would you come back and lead
00:48:15 this effort, sir? Short answer is yes, but this effort should be treated like this is the new
00:48:25 war on American soil. We were over in Iran and doing some things over there. The real war is
00:48:31 here and for me to come back it's going it would have to be an overarching everything goes we throw
00:48:38 everything at it and deport those hundred million before any other regime can stop us so something
00:48:44 like that if you want to see overarching and you want to see a real effort that i'll certainly be
00:48:51 happy to lead that but if i come back we're not playing tiddlywinks commander bovino you are a
00:48:59 Patriot and one of the greatest living Americans in this 250th of the week that kicks it off for
00:49:04 the commemoration and celebration of the birth of the nation. It's an honor to start the week with
00:49:09 you. Where do people, we got about a minute, where are your coordinates? Where do people still get
00:49:14 you? Gregory K. Bovino on X, mainly on X there, Steve. So you can get me there. I will have a
00:49:22 book coming out one of these days and I'll let you know about that. And that'll have all the
00:49:27 juice that you and I have been talking about. All the juice. It's coming.
00:49:33 Commander Bovino, honored to have you on here. Thank you, sir. Look forward to having you back.
00:49:37 God bless, Steve.
00:49:40 One of the greatest living Americans and patriotism personified right there.
00:49:46 That job was hard. Needed to have his back. One day, like Cincinnati's, maybe we'll get him back
00:49:54 from the plow also, like President Trump.
00:49:56 We're going to leave you with Natasha Owens.
00:49:58 We'll see you tomorrow morning,
00:50:00 10 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time,
