this is what you're fighting for i mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing
00:00:14.940
people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians
00:00:22.700
get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this is just like in georgia
00:00:28.480
it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations
00:00:33.560
this is why this audience is going to have to get engaged we've told you this is the fight
00:00:37.340
all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's your host
00:00:44.440
stephen k bannon it is my testimony that the order is secure the president have worked very hard to
00:00:51.760
implement a strategy when it comes to the border that is humane safe and has orderly enforcement
00:00:56.800
things are going at the border sir much better than you all expected we have
00:01:04.140
a secure border in that that is a priority for any nation including ours in our administration
00:01:12.420
we have responded with a model approach that has proven to work we have taken unprecedented action
00:01:19.400
over the past year and a half to secure our border and we have a process in place to manage migrants
00:01:24.420
the border we're working to make sure it's safe and orderly and humane the border is closed we agree
00:01:30.480
that the border is secure we're executing a comprehensive strategy to secure our borders
00:01:35.740
one of our highest priorities is to ensure that we have a secure border and that is what we are doing
00:01:40.460
we are stopping the flow at the border the border is secure
00:01:44.580
should arab countries be taking on the lion's share of the burden to absorb what could be over a million
00:01:54.980
if not more refugees from gaza i think there's something to be said about the region's partners
00:02:00.360
being able to support and step up palestinians however that does not abdicate the united states from
00:02:06.720
our historic role that we've played in the world of accepting refugees and allowing people to restart
00:02:12.960
their lives here welcome to war room battleground it's natalie winters hosting thank you for joining
00:02:19.120
us in the 6 p.m hour of what has been a very very long day it is of course wednesday october 18th in
00:02:25.420
the year of our lord 2023 i think we'll be focusing primarily on what is probably the foremost issue that
00:02:33.160
we should be concerned about that is our southern border not the border of any other country or not
00:02:38.280
any other country for that matter um the invasion that is ongoing not just by people quote seeking a
00:02:44.920
better life for economic migrants but by people who really want to inflict damage and pain on this country
00:02:51.320
as you guys have probably uh deduced by now i'm out of studio um i'm out of town but i will be back soon
00:02:57.520
and steve should be back for tomorrow uh show at 10 a.m um but in the meantime i believe we have john
00:03:04.440
zdrozny joining us um john before we get into everything that we just played in that cold open
00:03:11.500
despite the fact that axios tells us that actually we don't have an open border um if you could just
00:03:17.440
give the audience a little bit of a primer a bit of a background on where you come from in the you know
00:03:22.660
dhs world and trump world and what you're doing now uh hi natalie thank you so much for having me
00:03:29.160
on uh yeah i had the privilege of working in the trump administration for all four years
00:03:33.460
uh white house state department department of homeland security uh and worked predominantly with
00:03:39.240
a lot of other uh friendlies on immigration and national security issues and currently with
00:03:43.500
uh america first legal as the deputy director of investigations and we are continuing the fight to
00:03:48.840
make sure that americans are protected and that its government serves them and it's clearly not
00:03:52.280
doing so based on your cold open so we'll get into the aoc and the prospect of that clip the
00:03:59.940
prospect of you know gaza refugees being resettled here because that doesn't even have to necessarily
00:04:05.040
do with an open border right legal immigration is also i think a weapon that they like to use i call
00:04:10.640
it a weapon of mass migration um but we've talked a lot on this show about the uptick in border
00:04:17.200
crossings by people who are on you know the fbi's terror watch list the numbers are truly staggering
00:04:23.400
um but i'm just curious from your perspective you know you hear a lot of back and forth about the
00:04:28.300
concept of sleeper cells um or just really what is the surge and crossings of people that we don't
00:04:34.120
know given your background your expertise what's your analysis of the really the the national security
00:04:41.140
threat the terrorist implications that joe biden's open border has on this country right now
00:04:46.300
well natalie the national security implications are serious and the threat level i in my opinion
00:04:52.440
is very high i am not in i don't have the ability to quantify it but the reality is since joe biden was
00:04:59.120
sworn in at noon on january 20 at 2021 uh somewhere between 8 million and 11 million people have entered
00:05:05.980
this country illegally now that includes the number that they have admitted themselves have come across
00:05:11.260
the border via parole which is an illegal use of a parole authority i can explain that if you want
00:05:15.340
but then there's also what we call the gotaways the hundreds of thousands to more than a million
00:05:19.660
illegal aliens who were being pursued by the border patrol but ultimately escaped and were never
00:05:24.200
detained and on top of that group you can add what we call the unknown unknowns uh the people who never
00:05:29.980
were detained at all and the only reason we know they exist is because the state and local law enforcement
00:05:34.320
authorities along the border have shown videos footage of illegal aliens dressed in camouflage
00:05:39.780
carrying rifles and rucksacks walking in single file into the united states in broad daylight no less
00:05:45.020
and so the level of threat is high not only because they're tripping over themselves to let as many people
00:05:50.680
that they can let in as they encounter them at ports of entry but because hundreds of thousands to
00:05:56.160
millions have crossed in between the ports of entry now ask yourself this question in a world where
00:06:00.640
joe biden and kamala harris and their corrupt crew have said come on into the entire world and the
00:06:05.200
world has answered why on earth would you sneak in and the answer is simple you don't want to be
00:06:11.040
detected now why wouldn't you want to be detected i don't have the answer to that question but i
00:06:15.340
suspect it's not for good reason you know one thing natalie that no one's really talking about in this
00:06:19.000
country is that since joe biden became president in 2021 there have been more than 150 critical
00:06:27.120
infrastructure problems incidents call them whatever you will uh ranging from massive fires at uh dairy
00:06:34.520
farms with 18 000 cows to people shooting at power substations in north carolina why do you think
00:06:41.040
that's happening i have a funny feeling they're all related and you know what i worry now based on
00:06:45.380
what we just saw happen in israel not too long ago is that um some of those sleeper cells you
00:06:51.100
mentioned are waking up and we're going to find out sooner than later unfortunately whether that's the
00:06:55.340
case or not no i was just talking about this i was actually just at liberty university lecturing
00:07:01.700
some students specifically on that the sort of interesting relationship between you know open
00:07:06.920
border this uptick in mass migration and how you start to see whether it's the food processing plants
00:07:11.780
the train derailments most recently i think there was a convoy of a bunch of military equipment
00:07:16.360
that had derailed and when you have people who like you say the ones that don't want to be detected
00:07:21.340
by the biden regime which is already you know sort of open to the floodgates quite literally
00:07:25.300
they've welded them open uh those are sort of the real concerning ones but i i am curious to double
00:07:31.160
down on i think what you were saying which really is the question you know of is it incompetence or is
00:07:36.800
it intentional and like you said you know you're the person to answer this question because you
00:07:40.900
worked in the trump administration you helped craft a lot of these policies we know the biden regime
00:07:45.320
has sort of done a 180 or maybe more so of a 90 degree turn on you know the efficacy of of border
00:07:50.880
border walls but i'm just curious from a you know dry policy perspective what are some of the changes
00:07:57.740
that you think the biden regime has implemented to facilitate this that directly goes against not
00:08:03.820
just the claims in the video that we played to open but the term that they like to use that is you
00:08:08.440
know oh these are just irregular migration patterns it's seasonal it has to do with climate change all
00:08:14.100
these bogus excuses yeah natalie the most important point that i could make on this front is that this
00:08:21.300
is uh you know you asked was it incompetence or was it otherwise it's otherwise this is a policy
00:08:26.080
um this administration has embraced an open borders policy designed to flood the united states with
00:08:31.080
foreign nationals my take on it is when you spend 50 years aborting americans in the womb
00:08:35.340
you're short about 64 million voters and as loud and shrill as the left is when they're on tv
00:08:40.620
or burning down a campus or something they are a hyper minority of the american population so when
00:08:46.480
when you put yourself in a posture where you promote the death of babies some of whom will
00:08:51.300
eventually would have voted for you if they'd live you have to find other voters or your toast
00:08:55.400
uh and so what i the way i view this is the simplest way to put it is the open borders fest that
00:09:01.380
has started since january 2021 is essentially a democrat party voter drive and if you're asking if
00:09:06.620
you're saying well john that's not reasonable that they're not voting now you're kidding yourself
00:09:10.520
uh i know you believe that natalie but others who are listening saying that can't be i guarantee you
00:09:14.800
millions of illegal aliens vote in this country because states have inadequate standards to prevent
00:09:19.080
illegal aliens from voting including in my home state of virginia which uh has a joke of a screening
00:09:24.240
process to ensure that you're legally allowed to vote so uh we really need to get our handle on that
00:09:29.820
but if you're thinking that this is an accident or some sort of keystone cops failure it's not this is
00:09:35.360
what they want and they've got it i have to say like i bet you one thing natalie i bet you that
00:09:40.080
alejandro mayorkas wants to say out loud you're welcome um but he can't he has to go to all these
00:09:46.020
congressional hearings to get punched in the face and he's dying to say like colonel jessep and a few
00:09:49.880
good men your gd right i ordered the code red he wants to say they've achieved this great public
00:09:54.540
policy achievement and can't do it but there's no other explanation for such such a collapse other
00:10:00.200
than intentional conduct and speaking of the the intentionality i guess you could just sort of
00:10:06.600
apply the paradigm of intentional verse incompetence to all these you know train derailments and the
00:10:11.900
food processing plants the weird infrastructure uh just a surge and sort of interesting we'll we'll
00:10:18.720
call it we'll be euphemistic here um incidents but you know we'll get into the aoc clip and i would
00:10:24.240
love to get your perspective on where you think the white house is going to go with you know the
00:10:27.820
potential for bringing in floods of refugees from gaza despite the rest of the middle east not not wanting
00:10:34.400
them either um but before we get in explicitly to that i'm just curious if you could double down a
00:10:41.080
little bit on that point and specifically through the lens of you know with these ongoing conflicts
00:10:46.460
whether it's ukraine the middle east who knows if something breaks out in taiwan do you think
00:10:51.360
that these incidents or just the the potential for stuff to go very poorly very quickly um is going
00:10:59.360
to increase and and empirically why why do you think that well that's a good question natalie so
00:11:05.780
we actually sat down at america first legal a few uh a few months ago at this point and said how many
00:11:10.920
incidents have there been because you may remember there was a point in time where it seemed like
00:11:14.240
every other day there was a report of uh and something happening at a major critical infrastructure
00:11:19.520
whether it was food based or security based or you know clean water based well we sat down and put
00:11:25.080
some numbers together and we found out that there have been over and i by the way this number is a
00:11:29.420
little bit stale it's about a couple months old more than 150 incidents involving attacks on u.s
00:11:34.300
critical infrastructure um and most of them have not been answered we don't really have full answers
00:11:40.200
as to what caused them now some of them are probably innocent that's just inevitable uh but some of them
00:11:44.860
just are not there was i believe in the mix of that i think what got the american people's attention
00:11:49.580
the most was the derailment and in east palestine uh in ohio and that was just one though probably one
00:11:57.340
of i think i i don't want to give a bad number but one of many train derailments one of many hazardous
00:12:03.340
hazmat carrying truck accidents um several water sewage treatments plant plants around the country have
00:12:09.020
been attacked tens of thousands of dairy cattle have died in mysterious fires now in a world where
00:12:14.940
um we were secure we had a president who didn't hate america i would be more inclined to say well
00:12:21.220
gosh i don't see a conspiracy theory there maybe there's just a fire here and a problem there in
00:12:26.060
a world where we've let literally millions of people into the country most of whom we have no idea who
00:12:29.900
they are or where they're from or what their intentions are it's entirely possible i don't have
00:12:34.180
the answer i just know it's an unanswered question and it needs attention and by the way that number is
00:12:38.480
probably way higher at this point natalie i think at some point the media stopped reporting on some of
00:12:42.640
these incidents is because they realized people were talking about them well i think that the key
00:12:48.400
point too is that all of america's adversaries while i would argue they're probably in a temporary
00:12:53.440
alliance now that is the you know iran china north korea russia axis of the world they all operate i
00:13:00.420
think very closely probably the chinese communist party most explicitly but by the theories of sun tzu
00:13:05.700
and deception and this sort of alternative warfare that's not necessarily kinetic boots on the ground but
00:13:11.860
i don't think there's really any better example that sun tzu would be looking down smiling very
00:13:17.140
happily upon than these critical infrastructure attacks um because the the damages are are palpable
00:13:23.220
but i'm curious now we can get into what i think the war on policy is probably most concerned about
00:13:28.960
which is the prospect of not just having our border be invaded illegally by you know people who are
00:13:35.080
linked to hamas or other terrorist groups in the middle east um but the actual welcoming them in you know
00:13:40.940
give me your tired your poor and apparently your hamas linked migrants too is going to be the new
00:13:46.500
strapline of the biden regime but it seems like there's some talk there's already been some calls
00:13:50.720
from progressive lawmakers saying that we need to open up our borders i guess even more so um to
00:13:57.960
refugees fleeing gaza west bank you name it what are your thoughts on that do you think that is a
00:14:04.020
possibility natalie unfortunately it is a possibility and it would be a disaster uh republicans can step
00:14:12.080
up when the time comes but uh one of the reasons it's a problem is the palestinian population is
00:14:17.500
not a good bet in terms of entry it's just not and if you if you are concerned or think that's not
00:14:22.640
correct or accurate look no further than almost every muslim arab leader in the modern middle east who
00:14:28.560
has said no thank you these are not these are not um you know western european countries or countries
00:14:33.820
that are not involved these are countries that have a very vivid knowledge of what happens when
00:14:38.480
palestinians are in their territory bad things happen and they understand that and we would be
00:14:43.020
stupid to ignore that but one other point natalie that i would make as someone who worked in the
00:14:47.100
administration and was deeply involved in the screening and vetting processes for uh immigrants
00:14:52.420
is that when you add giant populations of dangerous people or not dangerous people just people
00:14:58.480
to the screening pile you create a huge backlog which makes it harder to make sure you're letting
00:15:04.500
only safe people in um the department of homeland security through its u.s citizenship and immigration
00:15:09.460
services is the agency that carries this program they're the ones that have to screen every human being
00:15:14.040
that are coming to the border in the south applying for asylum or applying to be a refugee from overseas
00:15:21.060
and they've got their work cut out for them there are some problems there in terms of management but i
00:15:25.660
think a lot of employees there actually do try and make sure not dangerous people are coming in when
00:15:30.320
you add another million people to the pile and treat the the addition of uh large numbers of people
00:15:35.980
to the screening pile uh to let more people in you create a backlog which creates pressure on people to
00:15:42.860
not scrutinize applications which means you increase the chances of dangerous people getting in
00:15:47.440
it's inevitable and so you know i know aoc and her friends think just throwing a million here and a
00:15:52.540
million there on the the asylum pile is not a big deal but it has real world implications if this is
00:15:57.360
a reminder almost every one of the individuals um who has been involved in the terror attack in the
00:16:03.240
last 10 years including the czarna brothers were people who came in through the refugee and asylum
00:16:07.480
process someone missed something right and if you keep adding onto those piles you're going to create
00:16:13.500
pressure where applications are not screened more dangerous people come in and we're going to be
00:16:17.920
talking about more bombings in the future and you know if the left is okay with that they can keep
00:16:21.420
doing what they're doing reminds me of how nonchalant these same voices are about our national
00:16:27.360
debt except it's a trillion here and a trillion there john before we let you go and again thank you
00:16:33.100
for this analysis truly i i mean that it's scary but i guess we we have to know knowledge is power
00:16:38.560
uh trump has obviously talked a lot about you know mass deportations wanting to return all of
00:16:43.840
these people home which really is the the only way forward if we want to have a country but
00:16:47.900
in your opinion the feasibility um of these mass deportations how that would look what are your
00:16:54.180
thoughts on that the reality natalie is it's very doable i think one thing we discovered in the
00:17:00.540
trump administration was that um there were a lot of people saying it couldn't be done what they
00:17:04.740
were really saying is we don't want to do it and when you get the right people who are committed
00:17:09.200
and you understand the tools you have at your disposal you can make it happen the reality is
00:17:13.840
the current illegal alien population which by the way natalie is probably more likely between
00:17:18.320
20 and 35 million at this point needs to be removed now do you have to remove every single human
00:17:23.880
being to make people leave no but you do have to remove a lot and i think the reality is a lot of
00:17:28.640
people are not um they're not let's say uh hard to remove the burdens we place on ourselves for
00:17:35.320
removing our self-imposed and in my opinion since it's a national security function uh this is not
00:17:40.540
something that's within the reach of court injunction so the next administration whether
00:17:44.100
it's donald trump or someone else needs to start wrapping their head around the fact that courts don't
00:17:48.260
really have any say here because the president is the one tasked with national security protection
00:17:52.580
and public safety and public defense uh not the courts and so as a result court injunctions
00:17:57.880
really shouldn't be heated when it comes to removal of people speed is going to be important
00:18:01.620
uh because and also the longer people stay here then you get into a situation where they put roots
00:18:06.800
down and they say well i've been here too long and you get stupid immigration judges who agree with
00:18:10.780
them speed is important volume is important deterrence is important and with the right people in the mix
00:18:16.120
you can make all of that happen john thank you so much for joining us if you want to let the audience
00:18:22.520
know where they can follow you i don't think you're a big social media guy but if they can follow
00:18:27.740
america first legal and all the you know investigations and work that you guys are doing where should
00:18:31.640
they go thank you natalie uh yes please come visit us uh at uh we're at af legal.org we're all the
00:18:38.520
usual suspects on social media and come check out the work we're doing we're trying our best to uh keep
00:18:43.260
up the good fight and make sure americans are safe and uh we're trying to be america first unlike
00:18:47.460
this administration af legal john thank you so much thank you have a good one and i think we have
00:18:55.840
todd bensman will continue our uh our immigration talk i promise i don't just try to come on here to
00:19:01.600
make you guys depressed about our future but unfortunately in joe biden's america they don't
00:19:06.760
give me many happy stories to cover um todd i know you've been covering the sort of you know
00:19:12.220
jihad um angle of the immigration process like i say the the weapon of mass migration um but i just
00:19:19.700
love to get your thoughts on the prospect of importing refugees from gaza if you think that's
00:19:25.460
actually going to happen how joe biden would go about doing that what the implications would be
00:19:29.840
well i i have to agree with your previous guest on a lot of that which is that you are going to be
00:19:39.900
importing people who have been indoctrinated heavily from cradle to present against jews against israel
00:19:50.840
and against the united states in a small territory like that where hamas has been in control for
00:19:58.700
16 years straight of everything the school systems the television programming uh and a really aggressive
00:20:08.380
uh propaganda machine that is just um really penetrates uh every aspect of life in in the strip and
00:20:19.420
and the mosques and the imams uh everything that you are definitely going to have a higher risk
00:20:26.360
of problems with anybody coming out of gaza uh even children young children uh the parents of those
00:20:35.240
children who often you know are perfectly fine sending them into the streets to throw rocks at
00:20:40.760
israeli tanks and soldiers uh and are all urged to join hamas uh i think that that's a bad idea that's
00:20:49.280
it's probably a worse idea even than when we brought in a couple hundred thousand afghans uh that we knew
00:20:56.440
nothing about uh right off of the battlefields there and we ended up with all kinds of security problems
00:21:02.400
so that that to me is a terrible idea plus there are lots of other uh places of refuge in the immediate
00:21:11.320
vicinity uh neighboring countries like jordan and egypt ought to be pressured into taking on any kind
00:21:18.260
of refugees it's right next door maybe they can stay there for as long as they want and maybe they can
00:21:24.760
go back to gaza at some point uh but why why take that risk i don't know why anybody would want to
00:21:31.800
take that risk here even with women and children i hate to say and my producer sent me i was just
00:21:39.160
reading it while we were sort of on air a very alarming story again i have to guess i have to
00:21:45.740
suspend my disbelief with anything this administration does and how immigration has been exploited but i'll just
00:21:51.280
read the headline dollars for terror the holy land foundation's illegal scheme to fund tamas it seems
00:21:56.700
like it's an old report of yours that they sort of re-upped given the uh the current climate if you
00:22:01.980
could walk the audience just through all that i'm sure and i'll probably hold you through the break if
00:22:06.940
you can stay with us right that was just put out uh by my uh former colleague robert riggs
00:22:13.980
at true crime reporter and um if you could put that up i mean it's a it's a great reprise of the
00:22:22.500
reporting that we did the two of us in dallas when i was working for the dallas morning news and then
00:22:28.360
uh cbs uh o and o up there i owned and operated station up there with robert where uh you had
00:22:36.260
hamas headquarters was in dallas for many many years in the form of a of a quote unquote
00:22:43.960
charity fundraising organization called the holy land foundation the holy land foundation was run by
00:22:52.580
straight up hamas uh leadership that were brought to the united states to raise funds to pay the
00:23:01.100
families of suicide bombers to raise money here under the cover of a charity and send it over there as
00:23:08.200
incentive for suicide bombers to commit martyrdom operations or whatever they want to call it i call
00:23:14.340
it suicide they call it martyrdom uh and that uh true crime report is based on the stuff that we did
00:23:22.100
on those hamas organizations in london and all over texas and all over the united states really
00:23:30.760
those organizations are still functioning in other ways uh there is hamas in the united states
00:23:39.240
uh and the holy land foundation trial everybody there all of the people we were reporting on are in
00:23:47.260
prison now thankfully for 50 and 60 years they're never getting out for what they did but the trial left
00:23:55.600
behind a document uh in the court record called unindicted co-conspirators those are the ones that
00:24:03.920
the government at that time just couldn't get to they didn't have the bandwidth to prosecute all the
00:24:09.800
hamas organizations and they're listed in by individual and organization all the way through there
00:24:17.680
now the hamas people who were left here who weren't in prison sued and appealed that list to to to um
00:24:26.660
take it out and they lost at every stage until they got to the supreme court which refused to take it and so
00:24:33.980
that list stands and you can read uh all of the uh the names of hamas people and organizations that
00:24:41.620
were left behind to operate one of them is care the council on american uh islamic relations care
00:24:50.740
which is put out there today as like the uh spokesperson for islam in the united states
00:24:58.660
they're constantly quoted if you go to their website right now care i think it's.org you'll find that
00:25:04.760
they've got all these statements up there uh in support of hamas and condemning israel with never
00:25:12.220
mentioning what hamas just did in israel uh they're right out there like with those uh demonstrators
00:25:18.040
at the college campuses i have to say i recommend the documentary the grand deception i just watched it
00:25:27.440
recently it has to do with everything that you're talking about um unfortunately baton will definitely keep
00:25:32.980
you through the break but in the meantime war room posse there's a nice story that i have up on
00:25:38.440
warroom.org exclusive hunter biden owned financial stake and digital banking platform for undocumented
00:25:44.880
migrants introduced the founder to joe biden i'm of course talking about the company eplata was founded
00:25:50.960
by longtime biden family business associate jeff cooper uh emails that i obtained from hunter biden's
00:25:57.280
hard drive actually show the first son getting wire transfers from the company and holding an eight
00:26:02.180
percent eight point two five percent stake in the company believe it or not it's unclear whether
00:26:06.600
or not he still holds it this is the kind of go-to platform they are positioning for remittances for
00:26:11.720
illegal immigrants to send money back to their home state home country of mexico it's been endorsed
00:26:16.740
by the mexican government and if you look at their website they advertise that you don't have to
00:26:21.320
use identification you really can just set up an account um with no paper trail no bank record
00:26:27.500
basically nothing so it's probably rife with human traffickers and some bad hombres as donald trump
00:26:33.340
would say but it's just another perfect example of how the biden regime has exploited probably
00:26:38.660
profited off of these wide open borders and we'll have dodd benzman after the break to continue drilling
00:26:44.340
down on the national security implications that affect every town because as you guys know
00:26:48.820
every town is a border town and we will be right back after this break
00:26:53.500
last month the g20 announced a plan to impose digital currencies and digital ids on their
00:27:09.480
respective populations no i'm not making that up that is a fact central bank digital currencies
00:27:15.640
essentially allow the government to track every purchase you make they could even allow officials
00:27:21.540
to prohibit you from purchasing certain products or easily freeze or seize part or all of your money

american dream it's prominent all over the country companies like starbucks strong arguing their customers

welcome back to the war room we've got a pretty good show going on so far i guess it's it's scary
00:32:26.020
almost as scary as is halloween um but no it's it's very dark stuff again i i second my recommendation
00:32:33.700
as i said concluding the last block to go and watch um the grand deception to make sense of everything
00:32:39.620
that's going on and it shouldn't be lost on anyone that mayorkas set up a special dhs council um with
00:32:46.500
faith-based and religious leaders many of them muslim a lot of them care representatives or care-linked
00:32:52.820
individuals but much like so much of the ideologies on the far left and even the chinese communist
00:32:57.620
party they couch their true agenda and very euphemistic you know racial equality justice
00:33:03.060
laid in terms but in reality what they want is uh very dark and in the case of these groups i would
00:33:08.100
argue it's a it's a caliphate here in the united states uh but that aside and it's not that's me
00:33:13.220
quoting them not my own words um but todd benson before i let you go i'm sure you probably saw and
00:33:18.820
laughed that axios um put out that huge story saying that the open border is a myth uh constructed
00:33:25.060
by people like yourself and myself and steve real quick before i let you go i would just love your
00:33:31.380
reactions not only to the laughable claims but if you think or rather why right now the mainstream media
00:33:37.780
is sort of uh running cover playing a cya uh for the biden regime and everything that they've done to
00:33:44.180
this country uh through leaving the southern border wide open so here's the ultimate metric that people
00:33:52.820
should look at if you reach the southern border uh and are allowed in and not deported and everybody
00:34:03.540
who reaches the southern border is allowed in and not deported afterwards or detained that's the
00:34:09.860
definition of an open border i don't know what definition axios is going by uh the and it's
00:34:16.420
interesting that they used a photo of somebody stopping migrants at the river that's not biden's
00:34:22.900
people that's greg abbott's people in texas who are trying to block them at the river keep them from
00:34:29.540
coming up the riverbank but biden's border patrol keeps cutting the wire and letting them in by the
00:34:36.420
hundreds and hundreds down there uh that is by definition an open border and there are multiple
00:34:44.260
pathways through you don't have to just cross illegally to be let in you can apply on a cbp one phone app
00:34:52.340
and be let in too uh i'll urge your viewers to watch me uh over the next few days i just got a huge data
00:34:59.860
dump on how many they're letting in and who they're letting in over the bridges uh where you can't even
00:35:06.260
see it and being flown in too so if there are five different ways for somebody to cross the southern
00:35:14.100
border and be allowed and get in i'm sorry that's an open border and they're not deporting uh enough
00:35:20.180
people to really make a dent in incentive uh that's an open border that's all i have to say about that
00:35:27.940
it's open it's wide open they're letting everybody in and barely deporting anyone
00:35:32.740
well i guess if a uh if a woman can be a man and a man can be a woman then an open border can be a
00:35:39.940
closed border and a closed border can be an open border they're not very good at definitions so it
00:35:44.980
makes sense todd bensman thank you so much for joining us i'm sure people want to get your your
00:35:50.100
first book the predecessor to the current one but also where can they get the current book to exact
00:35:55.220
that one yes where can people go to get that and follow you right well the first book is available
00:36:00.900
anywhere books are sold still amazon um it's 2021 but it's just as relevant now about the jihadist
00:36:08.100
threat at that border everything it's the only book written about that and overrun is my latest
00:36:14.820
book about how we got to this mass migration historic crisis is also available it's in bookstores
00:36:20.980
and anywhere books are sold online and there's an audio book of overrun now too
00:36:26.500
todd thank you so much for joining us thank you and i think we have james bacon joining us people may
00:36:36.820
recall he's been on this program before he was the former director of operations for presidential
00:36:42.580
personnel under donald j trump i think i got the title right um in other words the translation there
00:36:48.900
is that he helped oversee basically all the staffing um of donald j trump's presidency but more
00:36:55.540
importantly the firing and getting rid of uh the bad the bad hombres like we were talking about uh in
00:37:03.220
the first block um james before we pivot to more broadly what's going on especially in the context of
00:37:08.980
you know the speakership race and just these feckless republicans on capitol hill i'd love your
00:37:13.940
thoughts in terms of the personnel infiltration and subversion um and really just implementation
00:37:19.940
of trump's agenda particularly on the immigration front because i think it's probably fair to say
00:37:24.260
that that is where he was probably blocked if not confronted the hardest right whether it was the
00:37:29.940
the travel ban the wall you name it um what did you see from your perspective being on the inside and
00:37:36.340
more importantly how do we combat it how do we push back against it
00:37:39.620
well one of the truest things that president trump ever said is that the rhinos are worse than the
00:37:47.140
democrats and so when we were doing presidential personnel we weren't firing the deep state operatives
00:37:54.180
as much as we were firing the rhinos who were too weak to implement president trump's policies
00:37:59.860
they're worse than the deep state in many cases so i think it's about getting the right people in
00:38:06.980
president trump needs to act swiftly you need to send the military to the southern border
00:38:11.940
and just firmly solve the problem and you can't wait or rely on congress to do it because congress
00:38:18.820
is completely irrelevant they're never going to get their act together they're never going to
00:38:23.380
appropriate money for a wall they're never going to vote to secure the border so it has to be done
00:38:29.940
solely by the executive branch it has to be done right away and you probably have to use the military to
00:38:35.540
do it i think that's probably the only way now you said in terms of the you know rhino faction in dc that
00:38:43.460
obviously is is pro open borders you used the word weakness right you said that they just don't have
00:38:49.620
the appetite or the backbone to actually implement the policies of the trump agenda beyond that weakness do
00:38:57.060
you really is that your theory of the case that they just don't have the spine to do it or do you think
00:39:02.500
there are more nefarious motives at play whether it's you know corporate interests the big donors
00:39:08.660
in terms of elected officials but if you if you really get granular with where you think this
00:39:13.060
opposition particularly on the immigration issue comes from again you i think people probably don't
00:39:19.140
appreciate how much first-hand experience you have and actually seeing the enemy and understanding
00:39:24.500
what motivates them so particularly on the issue of immigration if you could just maybe expand a little
00:39:28.740
bit where you think either that weakness or intentionality comes from the aversion to donald
00:39:34.340
trump's you know immigration ideas i think they're motivated by self-interest they don't want their name
00:39:41.860
in the washington post they don't want controversy they're more worried about attending the white house
00:39:47.220
christmas party and getting their lobbying job when they exit the administration than they are about
00:39:52.500
securing the border so that that's the problem in a nutshell i don't think it's bad intentions with
00:39:58.980
congress they're much more captured by special interests it's harder for special interests to capture the
00:40:04.900
executive branch but congress is completely captured if you look at lobbying in washington dc there's a
00:40:12.500
reason you can have a career as a hill lobbyist lobbying congress but there's no para there's no career
00:40:20.340
as an executive branch lobbyist that's not enough because the executive branch isn't as compromised
00:40:26.020
as congress so all of these things contribute to the broader deep state which isn't just the civil
00:40:34.020
servants in the executive branch it's congress that's appropriating the money and basically hamstringing
00:40:40.580
a republican president when they want to do things now i'm sure you've been watching what's been
00:40:47.060
unfolding on the hill in terms of the speakership battle you know it's the it's the war room posse and
00:40:53.300
maga verse like you said the what are the i would say ossified corporate interests that exist in
00:40:59.780
washington dc um just just imagine the country we would have if those politicians feared the american
00:41:05.860
people more than they did k street but unfortunately we are not in that position but i wanted to bring you on
00:41:12.580
today specifically because i wanted to sort of draw the parallel um between what you guys the actual
00:41:18.420
true america firsters um in the trump administration had to go up against to what a lot of the people
00:41:25.300
who whether it was the original 20 and then the hardcore six or the 70 who voted um against the debt
00:41:31.220
ceiling expansion and increase um the people who've continued to vote for jim jordan right the small
00:41:36.020
faction of the people who are on the right side of history we would say um the the parallels to what
00:41:43.060
you guys had to go up against in the first trump administration um but more importantly the lessons
00:41:49.860
learned from that and how in what will be the second term of president donald j trump you know how we
00:41:57.140
actually combat that and how we make sure that we aren't stymied or kneecapped by these same you know
00:42:04.820
rhino types i think that's too cutesy a term but just these entrenched republicans who frankly are
00:42:09.940
probably more establishment democrats um but how we actually go up against them about having the right
00:42:17.540
leadership at the top that can discern the current situation correctly so you see with even the good
00:42:24.820
ones in congress whenever the current thing happens they're not opposing it so it's easy to be against
00:42:32.180
the ukraine aid now after we've already spent 150 billion dollars and it's too late now we needed
00:42:40.420
people to be against the ukraine aid in 2021 it's the same thing with the covet stimulus in 2020 we
00:42:46.340
needed congress to be against it now against it back then and then it's the same thing that's happening
00:42:52.660
right now where biden is about to roll congress again by pairing the ukraine aid with the aid to israel
00:42:59.380
so he's just going to totally roll over the republicans we're going to get more ukraine aid
00:43:04.100
because he's playing them like a fiddle and we have no leadership at the top that understands the
00:43:11.300
current thing and how to take a stand against it so when we get back in next time it has to be a
00:43:17.700
white house that's giving top-down direction that can see these things as they're happening
00:43:23.220
you know not falling for the covet mask mandates the the other stuff fauci as it's happening because
00:43:31.620
republicans are constantly behind the ball now and you're seeing it especially in congress and so
00:43:37.540
congress has made itself more irrelevant than it already was and that's pretty hard to do i think
00:43:43.940
the only chance we have of saving this country is by taking back the presidency and having an executive
00:43:51.380
branch that is top to bottom every position filled with people that um follow the chain of command you
00:43:58.740
know they're in the right place in the hierarchy and you have leadership that is on top of this stuff
00:44:05.380
because we've just been behind the ball for so long there's a funny moment in the interview between
00:44:12.740
tucker carlson and elon musk where uh tucker asks elon you know what percent of twitter staff did you
00:44:19.620
fire and he ultimately gives the figure of about eighty percent right so that's twenty percent
00:44:24.900
remaining and tucker asks you know how did you do that and elon said well if you're not engaged in
00:44:30.660
the business of censorship and trying to promote a certain agenda you actually don't need that many
00:44:36.100
people right it'll it'll run itself and i was i was watching that last last night and i sort of thought
00:44:41.860
that you could sort of draw a same comparison to what you know president trump needs to do um with the
00:44:48.020
federal government if whether when he is re-elected so i'm just curious i know you've come on this
00:44:53.620
program a lot to talk about the tactics that we would take to whether it is you know fire or relocate
00:45:00.740
or just really neuter or nullify the power of a lot of these unelected bureaucrats thank god millie
00:45:07.380
is uh forcing himself out on his own measure um but i'm just curious in terms of you know actually
00:45:14.740
eliminating certain agencies and i don't even mean the you know traditional conservative talking
00:45:19.860
point of no let's get rid of the department of education yeah i would i would love to do that too
00:45:24.660
but i mean more specifically some of these you know niche nuance agencies that the war room audience knows
00:45:29.700
about but you know the average american probably doesn't whether that's you know cissa in the
00:45:34.260
censorship industrial complex that they have managed or a lot of these weird review boards and
00:45:39.860
agencies under the purview of dhs that they're using to censor stories so how much of from your
00:45:47.300
perspective the personnel war is you know relocating these people or putting in better people versus
00:45:52.740
how much of it is actually just trimming the fat and getting rid of some of these agencies that
00:45:57.220
shouldn't exist in the first place there's two parts of this there's the left-wing expert class at
00:46:04.340
the top and that's the real deep state but then beneath them is what i call the dmv state because
00:46:10.820
it's more akin to what you get when you walk into your local dmv the dmv state are the millions of
00:46:17.940
unionized civil service protected unproductive non-essential employees that are dead weight on
00:46:24.980
this country and they are literally classified as non-essential by the office of management and budget
00:46:32.260
that means when there's a government shutdown all these non-essential employees go home
00:46:38.660
and what happens nothing happens we've been through many government shutdowns in recent years
00:46:44.820
and nothing happens when these non-essential employees go home so the next president needs to
00:46:50.900
cut non-essential bureaucracy and that means mass government layoffs mass government layoffs is the
00:46:57.700
only way to cut the non-essential bureaucracy and the left will scream about it but there's nothing
00:47:03.700
radical with trimming the fat i am very pro trimming the fat in all regards james bacon thank you so much
00:47:14.340
for joining us if people want to follow you stay up to date with everything you're working on i know
00:47:18.500
you sort of uh are elusive when it comes to the social media sphere but if people want to stay up to date
00:47:23.780
how can how can they find you if they can project 2025.org and see the ways that we're going to be
00:47:32.100
doing a better transition compared to the last transition real quick before i let you go if
00:47:37.780
you want to just explain a little bit about what project 2025 is project 2025 is an effort to basically
00:47:47.060
get the personnel right for the next administration uh president trump had did not have the administration
00:47:54.660
he deserved and so we're trying to right that wrong by bringing real patriots to dc and having a battle
00:48:00.740
plan to take on the deep state on day one real patriots no experts from the atlantic council brookings
00:48:09.300
institute csis or any of these think tanks masquerading i guess they're activist organizations
00:48:17.220
masquerading as think tanks probably just fronts for money laundering but that that's for another show
00:48:22.740
james thank you so much for joining us thank you for having me thank you and war room posse we got a few
00:48:30.260
minutes here so i wanted to go through at steve's request um some of the latest stories that we've been
00:48:35.460
publishing on war room.org which is why you of course have to sign up for the newsletter but it
00:48:40.580
has to do with hunter biden's foreign business affairs and how they link to catch this not this
00:48:47.140
it's not the chinese communist party this time uh it's actually iran and qatar and libya all entities
00:48:53.220
that are very closely aligned financially supporting hamas and their recent terrorist attacks one of the
00:48:58.500
stories we put up or other i put up is an exclusive hunter biden's chinese firm helped iranian
00:49:03.780
company access sanctioned funds broker illegal oil deals people may recall cefc china energy that's
00:49:11.540
the firm that hunter biden was the managing director at uh tens of millions of dollars were allegedly
00:49:16.580
wired into biden family bank accounts that a notorious audio recording of hunter biden saying
00:49:22.100
that he's in business with the spy chief of china that's patrick ho um so i'd uncovered documents
00:49:28.020
from an old trial of patrick ho actually admitting um that cefc china energy back around 2015 2016
00:49:37.780
was helping iranian companies skirt u.s sanctions uh specifically in relation to their nuclear program
00:49:45.700
to get access to bank account funds so they could potentially pursue a deal um with chinese business
00:49:52.420
interests um also on the other end of that story is the fact that illegal illegal oils this is oil
00:49:58.340
that was under sanctioned by the u.s government um an individual people may recall this is where
00:50:03.940
we get granular so i i apologize in advance but gal left that was the biden family whistleblower the
00:50:10.900
israeli citizen who after blowing the whistle on joe biden a few days later he was actually indicted
00:50:18.260
uh for farrah violations for arms trafficking but remember we always had an issue with that uh
00:50:25.380
indictment because he basically did the same things that hunter biden was doing because he was working
00:50:30.500
on behalf of cefc china energy too um so it's sort of the the pot calling the kettle black meanwhile
00:50:37.140
hunter biden just gets away you know with gun charges the only charge that doesn't have to do with joe biden
00:50:41.700
but what's so interesting is that gal left was acting per the indictment as an intermediary
00:50:46.180
um to help really create uh an illegal oil deal they were referring to this illegal iranian oil as
00:50:52.580
coming from brazil in text messages and emails though it was actually originating from iran but
00:50:57.780
they were trying to sell it um i believe to china uh you guessed it the new york times did sort of
00:51:03.220
tacitly admit this story back in 2018 buried the lead um and you know a paragraph many many paragraphs
00:51:10.100
down on the story they of course never mentioned the hunter biden connection um but on the the
00:51:15.460
second front of it when it comes to hunter biden's foreign business dealings uh the second story we
00:51:20.420
put up is hunter bite another exclusive hunter biden's chinese firm brokered illicit weapons
00:51:25.780
deals for qatar and libya which fund and arm hamas so this is the same entity cefc china energy again
00:51:32.900
wiring millions of dollars to the biden family hunter biden is a managing director there um in addition to
00:51:38.500
selling uh oil on behalf of iran and liaising with iranian government officials uh it was also unsealed in
00:51:44.660
this indictment that believe it or not they were involved in the arms trade trying to sell weapons
00:51:50.020
that had been either sanctioned or were just generally illegal um to qatar and libya qatar you
00:51:55.860
guys know is of course the primary financial backer of hamas uh libya there's been extensive reporting
00:52:02.340
how a lot of arms that go to libya are then later funneled uh into hamas they use it on their terrorist
00:52:08.020
attacks against israelis and really the the world writ large so very curious there uh this of course
00:52:14.980
i think dovetails quite curiously uh quite nicely with the fact that joe biden decided to release
00:52:20.740
what was it six billion dollars in addition to eighty billion dollars and you know uh more enjoyable
00:52:26.420
oil revenue for the iranian regime due to lax sanctions um so this just shows you i think firsthand
00:52:32.420
you have a regime that is in power that even if they wanted to put america first they couldn't
00:52:37.460
because of the financial business dealings and just very intricate very dark very nefarious conflict
00:52:43.300
of interest uh web of evil interests that have been pursued by hunter biden and when the same people
00:52:49.780
who are in business with the foreign powers that are trying to take the united states off the global
00:52:53.860
stage destroy our global hegemony when that it's the same guy who's in the white house it's not going to
00:52:58.740
