Steve Bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Reasons I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people.
- [00:17]
Ben Berquam
The people have had a belly full of it.
- [00:19]
Steve Bannon
I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything.
- [00:21]
Ben Berquam
In the world to stop that, but.
- [00:22]
Steve Bannon
You'Re not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
- [00:24]
Unknown Speaker 1
And where do people like that go.
- [00:25]
Unknown Speaker 2
To share the big lie?

Unknown Speaker 1
MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul.

Steve Bannon
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

Ben Berquam
War Room here's your host, Stephen k. Band. Okay, Friday, 14th, February, year of the Lord 2024, Valentine's Day, or as we say here in the War Room, St. Valentine's Day. A lot to get to. And we're going to get to it momentarily. We're going to go first with some breaking news out my favorite part of the country. Down the New Mexico, Texas border. Right there we built the wall, one of the most impressive parts. I think the best model wall ever built. We'll get to that momentarily. Ben Berquam, you're there. Ben, I thought you were doing ice roll ups and ice raids. Why are you still in the border? I thought the border was 100% secured, sir.
- [01:28]
Unknown Speaker 3
Well, we're doing both. Steve just finished three raids last week with ICE. Now we're down embedding with Border patrol to show the difference between what enforcement looks like now versus what it looked like just a month ago. And just to give you an idea, in the sector that I'm in, you're well aware of this, I'm going to turn the camera around. Actually hold off on that for just a second. The sector I'm in right now is just talking to border patrol over here. They said this area two years ago in this sector, they were getting 2,500 people per day. Now it's under 100. So in a month's time, they went from just the total invasion of our country to operationally workable numbers where we actually have operational control now of the border since President Trump has taken office. But as we speak, as we got here, the cartel is not stopping. I'm going to turn the camera over here. We've got some of our border patrol agents here. We just caught a group, just got one from Vietnam. I believe we've got some of the pictures the studio has there. But as we speak up on Top And I'm zooming in on this mountain. Steve. The we build the wall is. If you look right in the middle of the screen, that's the Monument two right there. The wall is just on the other side of that. The wall that we built, the wall the American people built. Amazing work that that project did. But just to the right of that, if you see right in the middle of your screen, that's an illegal alien up on top of the hill. There's a group of four up there right now waiting to cross over. And basically they play red rover, red rover and wait for border patrol to get out of the way so they can come over. We just caught one. There was another group of four. As I turn the camera down here, there's another group down in this little cut. I'm going to try to get a shot of these guys as we speak as well. So these guys, there's a guy right there in the middle of your screen. There's actually three of them hiding behind those rocks. And the cartel coyote, if you guys can show that picture. He was the guy up on the hillside. There were three of them standing there and he was the guy in the black and tan hooded jacket. So this is non stop. The cartel operates here continuously. But the beauty is this road we're even standing on didn't exist a year ago. Now Border patrol can come back here and because they've changed their operation, they can actually do their job, stop the invasion and as we saw this morning, actually chase the guys back into Mexico and apprehend some of them.
- [03:48]
Ben Berquam
So in a nutshell, you're saying the enforcement. Why is the enforcement tougher? Because Border patrol is actually there. They're turning people back. What's. Are there more resources? I don't see any U.S. army, Marines down there. I would think that in the, in the, in that sector, particularly as you're going to go around and see where we built the wall, where they used to have this horrible problem with the cartels. This is where they trafficked the women through. That's the reason we built it there. You would think there'd be Mexican Marines on one side and U.S. army on the other. Why is there not?
- [04:21]
Unknown Speaker 3
Well, there is U.S. army, the Mexican military. You know, again, from most of what I've seen from the Mexico side, a lot of it's optics, a lot of it's performative. You know, you'll hear a lot of talk about movement over there. And they have been again, talking to Border Patrol. There are assets on the Mexican side that are Actually working operations to stop some of the cartel activity. But the cartel activity is just so rampant on the Mexico side. They basically control most of the country, many sectors of the country on the US Side. The big difference is everything we've been talking about for the last four years, it's really. It starts with the posture of President Trump coming in and saying, we're securing the border. We're sending you home, we're deporting you. ICE operations in the interior, people realizing they're going to get deported on the border side. It was ending CBP1 the moment President Trump took office. No longer are we going to do these delayed removals, these paroled releases into the interior. So people that were coming up illegally, like the guy we just caught from Vietnam this morning, now they got word. Most of them got word. Well, if they catch you, they're not letting you into the interior. So that slowed a lot of the traffic that was coming up here. And then you have the increased enforcement now on the border, instead of having Border Patrol deal with and process and basically be the cartel for the Ubers bringing in the CBP1 illegals or the people that are just turning themselves in that Joe Biden and the Democrats were inviting in. Now, Border Patrol, along with the DoD are out here, and we've got DoD stationed at multiple points along the way here. They are actively working with Border Patrol and stopping this. So it's the entire approach again. It's starting with the posture of President Trump saying, we're going to secure America, put America first. And then all of those policies, decisions being put into place that stopped a lot of the people coming, and then also are leading to more apprehensions once they get here. But all of that being said, the cartel still wants to make money. And so they're still pushing this. They're still working everywhere, every angle they can to try to do it. But what it shows is basically, we were lied to for the last four years. This could have been stopped. It was invited. The biggest thing that has to happen now is we have to shut off the tap the money to the NGOs in America that are aiding and abetting this. And we have to shut off the money to the illegals that are living in America, that are. They're basically living off the American taxpayers.
- [06:36]
Ben Berquam
So part of this gets back to the budget. USAID will be cut. That's because they're providing the money to the NGOs also in the Medicaid cuts. My understanding is most of the Medicaid cuts are going to come from illegal aliens, getting them off the rolls. And also make sure that able bodied seamen can will go to work and work for these benefits. Ben, you have been on operations or raids, whatever they're called. I know there's a term of art internally and there's a term of art they use externally that's been very difficult. There's been stoppage right now. There's a huge controversy in New York on Mayor Adams about dropping his suit. We're going to get to that in a moment. What's your assessment? Is it a logistics problem? Is it a legal problem? Because it doesn't seem like from the first couple of days of thunder that we're a little bit hung up now. Homan looks like he's doing a lot more time on Fox News than he's out up armored rousting out bad hombres from prisons to get him out of here. Sir.
- [07:36]
Unknown Speaker 3
Well, part of it was stopping media ride alongs with ice. They temporarily have stopped that. They're reassessing that because of amount of leaks that were going out. And again we got word that that may have been coming directly through FBI. Some, some people on the inside. I heard also hsi potentially there are enemies within our government that don't want to have what's happening happen. But the biggest problem that I saw in the ride alongs with ICE is just the logistical nightmare that these guys are having to go through. I mean, think about this again, just to show you where I'm standing, I just had illegal cartel coyotes right there on that little rock face that I'm standing right next to. That's about 20 yards away from me. And the cartel coyote was standing right there. If you guys look at that picture that we had, they're actually right on the backside of that hill. But what's going on with ice? Now think about what we just did the last four years. We had these paroled releases. So you had all these illegals come into our country. They ended the remain in Mexico policy. They sent them into the detention centers and then they said, oh, our detention centers are full. So we have to release these people in the interior of our country. So we released millions of illegal aliens that we know aren't going to qualify for asylum into the interior of our country. Well, now what ICE has to do is go catch those guys one at a time with administrative warrants where you have to knock and hope they open the door. Then you have to send them back to the detention centers where we have limited numbers of beds and resources. Takes about 60 days on average to get rid of them. And then they send them out of our country. So there's just not enough bed space to deal with the millions and millions of people that we're talking about removing. The biggest thing that I think it's a two pronged approach that I think we're going to start seeing is you. ICE's operations are gonna continue. They're gonna continue to go after the worst first, as we heard when we were in Baltimore. But then what has to happen, we have to shut off the money to illegals inside of America that will, you'll get, you'll get self deportation if they're not getting the money from the American taxpayer, if they can't work in America under the table, if we get the data checks on, background checks on people working in the interior of the country, all of that has to happen at the same time. But ISIS is fighting an uphill battle as both internally, people working against them from within and externally just the logistical nightmare it takes to get rid of these people that have been let into our country. But they're nonstop and they're still working even though the cameras aren't with them.
- [10:00]
Ben Berquam
How big a deal is this situation in New York City? You know, I've warned outside the courthouse the other day, Bondi and the President about the situation in Manhattan. It looks like they're trying to take some action. But from your perspective, because you see that the street level, how important is it for us to make sure that New York is not a sanctuary city, that we actually get there? I think there's 47,000 illegal aliens there. How critical is it to make sure that Adams is open to cooperating with ice?
- [10:33]
Unknown Speaker 3
That's the game. That's it. That's life or death of our country. That is it. The sanctuary policies are what are stopping. They will either allow us to do our job and secure our country and put America first, or they will, they will stop us from being able to secure this country and we will bleed out from within. It is 100% on those policies. And whether or not we can hold the politicians accountable, we can stop the funding to those communities, we can prosecute those that are getting in the way. That's the game right there.
- [11:04]
Ben Berquam
Ben, we're going to let you break down and I know you're going to go over to the other side where we built the wall. It's a. This is one of the most critical junctures. It's right Juarez, El Paso. If you've seen the movie Sicario, the violent first, first not the sequel, but the first one is shot right there. And Ben, if you can go over, we'll pick you up as soon as you get there. To have a live thing and walk people through how important it is to build the wall, how important it is actually send the military there to secure this because there's many, many, many bad hombres and particularly the cartel driven. And this is why we have to start doing paramilitary deep interdiction into the cartel. Cartel. Until we take the cartels out, you're not going to solve the fentanyl problem and you're really not going to solve the human trafficking problem, which is their other source of business. Ben Berkwam, Social media Where do people go?
- [11:55]
Unknown Speaker 3
America's Voice News. Best place to get it. All the breaking footage you'll be getting there on X, it's @real am voice on Instagram, it's Ealamerica's voice. And as you said though, Steve, this actually where we're standing right now connects. There's a wall on the east side, excuse me, the west side of Mount Cristo Rey. And there's the we build the wall on the east side, but there's nothing in between. This road didn't exist here. Now the road is here. Once we build that wall, all of that is going to be made easier. And again, that wall project, the best public private partnership or private private project that I've ever seen in America where the people said we're sick of this, we're going to build it. And we actually built it. And we're going to try to get over there and show that and highlight the great work that was done by We Build the Wall. But again, this is it. This is why it's so easy to do it, because it's no man's land. And then also my other social median, berkwam and frontlineamerica.com We've got substack articles coming up all the time as well. Thank you, Steve.
- [12:50]
Ben Berquam
Just so to put it in perspective, where Ben standing when he goes to the mountain and back in Mount Cristo, right, you go up to the top of that, go down. Our wall is built on the other side. That wall goes straight off that mountain, which the Army Corps of Engineers said couldn't be built straight off the mountain, all the way down to the Rio Grande. When it hits the Rio Grande, The Rio Grande is the border all through Texas. The Rio Grande is actually the border between Mexico and the United States. As soon as you hit New Mexico right there at the foot of where we rebuild the wall. You pivot right there and you look, you got another. I think it's 1800 miles to hit the Pacific Ocean in Tijuana. That's all gonna be walled. This is. I think I've been adamant about this. You need a wall. You need a wall all the way down, and then you put patrols on it, you put military on it, all of it. But anybody that gives you happy talk that we can do this, have gaps? No, just you want to secure it. You want to secure it permanently, you got to put a wall. Have to put a barrier. And then when I say a barrier, not some barbed wire, I mean a wall. Ben Berquam, look forward to seeing you on the other side of Mount Cristo. Rey here shortly. Thank you, brother. Amazing. Look at those New Mexico mornings. Beautiful part of the country, but man, is it tragic. Right there at Sunland, New Mexico. You think you're in a part of it. Right there at the border itself. Right there, right at the border. It's hovels. You don't even think you're in the United States. Disgusting. What's happened with the trafficking. When you see the debris left behind by the human traffickers, it rips your heart out. You see what happens to these young women that are trafficked across by these cartels? These cartels are totally heartless. Now. They've been designated terrorist organizations. And you could take the fire to them. That's all going to come. Okay, we're in a phase. The resistance has reared up in federal courts and state courts and Congress across the board in the streets. We need to punch through it, and punch through it we shall. Folks, going to lay it all out for you here in the war and take a short commercial break. Be back in the warm in just a moment.
- [15:01]
Steve Bannon
Have you seen the news from economists forecasting a depression? I'm not talking recession. I mean depression. By the year 2030, we're in a perfect storm as Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point, with the largest generation hitting retirement. A smaller workforce means a smaller tax base. Pair that with our growing national debt and rising cost of living, and you got a problem. And I mean a big problem. So what are you going to do now to protect your family for the future?

- [16:40]
Ben Berquam
Pushback from the courts and from attorneys general. Yes, that is a line. At the same time, aren't some of these firings and buyouts and moves going forward while we wait for the courts to proceed? Isn't the damage being done right now?
- [16:57]
Unknown Speaker 4
Well, those are number one, I think. Look, there's a lot of some of these agencies where there's, where there are court orders holding things in place right at the moment. Those agencies are not functional. So you can, there's, yes, damage is being done. I think damage is being done kind of independent of that also, Mika, because the reality is that if you are living in a federal agency right now and you have seen what's happened to people at USAID or at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, other places, you are now living in fear. And there are a lot of ways in which this kind of the behavior Elon Musk and his team at DOGE have undertaken. There are a lot of ways in which is supposed to operate. Some of them involve actually try to cut things. Some of them involve putting the fear of God and everybody about the possibility they're going to be able to cut things Right. And I think the fear is as much has as much of a pernicious effect as the actual question of maybe a little bit less than when you keep your job or not. But it's now pervasive throughout the government that people see Elon Musk running amok in the way that he is. So I think there's damage being done in either case. It is true, though, that the courts are holding a very important line here, especially in the context of a Republican majority in Congress that seems to have no interest in being in doing its part of asserting any kind of institutional prerogatives and is basically turning over all of its authority to the executive like this.
- [18:15]
Unknown Speaker 5
Well, Alex Bureau is a very good lawyer, but he's also known for being hyper aggressive. He was criticized by the Judge in the Jay Z matter, he represents Jay Z for his overaggression, attacking the other lawyer. He's also the same lawyer for Elon Musk. So I'll leave that there. So, as if to prove that this was part of a corrupt deal, Eric Adams is not only appearing with the border czar, but he's also assuring publicly the border Czar that he will use his executive powers to allow federal immigration authorities to back into Rikers island. That's like a 180 degree turn from the typical sanctuary city policies that New York City had. So it sure looks like there's a quo in exchange for the quid here. And then you have Deputy Attorney General Emil Beauvais, who I think is doing Attorney General Pambani a disservice by his actions. He wasn't even approved by the Senate yet. He was Trump's former criminal defense lawyer, and he's not even trying to hide his motivations here. He made it clear in his letter that this dropping of the case was so Adams could better help with the immigration crackdown. And then he dismisses the case without prejudice, which means that it's gonna be hanging over Adams throughout just to make sure he plays ball. So you can see why Adams was so compliant with Trump's border czar yesterday when the sword of Damocles is hanging over his head. But as the reverend said, he's right. It's up to the judge. And I think this judge is gonna reject this deal. And I think in the end, it's gonna be a standoff where the judge, I'm not accepting this dropping. And then DOJ says, well, we're not pushing it forward. So it's a very interesting time.
- [19:52]
Ben Berquam
You're talking about resistance in the courts. You're talking about resistance from state attorneys generals. So how is it working?
- [19:59]
Unknown Speaker 1
I think John set it up well. They're not stopping everything, but they had a plan, a plan B. If they lost the election, to organize lawsuits very early, find plaintiffs very early. As soon as they weren't sure if it would be Elon Musk acting. But as soon as the Trump administration acted to cut staff, to stop what organizations were doing, to shut down agencies, they were going to sue instantly. And they have. So you had Democracy Ford and Sky Pearman create this coalition of liberal legal groups. They're up to, when I talked to them this week, up to 400 that are involved in this in some way. And they're moving very quickly against a Trump administration that's also moving quicker than it did Eight years ago, they did not have the same level of legal talent they have now. They were much more stimmied, for example, with the Muslim ban that was their first legal test eight years ago. They kept losing and having to rewrite it. This time they are acting differently. And that context is important. There is nothing that House Democrats can do, Senate Democrats can do or a lawyer can do if somebody leaves this administration and they don't get their job back in six months, if they win the case. The NLRB is slightly frozen. There are a lot of tools that the Trump administration is using to shrink the administrative state. I just think the Democrats knew that would happen and they were not naive in waiting for him to move. Contradicted a little bit of the idea that Democrats are stimmied. They're blown away. They can't, they can't respond to this stuff in real time. Members of Congress and leadership are having trouble getting in the news cycle, but the attorneys are really not having trouble getting into court. I don't know. I don't know.
- [21:34]
Steve Bannon
The other thing is, is that is.
- [21:36]
Ben Berquam
I'm pretty sure no one has still.
- [21:39]
Steve Bannon
Gone to court to dismiss the charges yet, right?
- [21:42]
Unknown Speaker 3
That's correct.
- [21:43]
Ben Berquam
And the problem with that is that.
- [21:45]
Unknown Speaker 1
At least yesterday they couldn't find anyone.
- [21:47]
Steve Bannon
To do that because that, that's that.
- [21:50]
Ben Berquam
See, that's the issue here. So this is the. I disagree with Dave Weigel right there. Dave Weigel from Semaphore. Dave, the Muslim ban, the only change, the travel ban, the only change we made on it was to take Iraq off of the original and withstood it, withstood challenge at the Supreme Court and was in effect and cut terrorism in this country, I don't know, by 90%. It was very well thought through by President Trump. Here's the thing, what they've done, you heard, they said the quiet part out loud there with John Heilman. He said the court saved us in 2020 in the courts of trying to save them. Today you have a multi front attack, a multi front attack on President Trump's days of thunder. And this is the different verticals to both deconstruct the administrative state, take on the deep state at the same time, put in economic policies, trade policies, national security policies that bring peace and prosperity. JD Vance over in the Munich Security Conference got both Poso and Rahim are over there. He just gave a complete throwdown speech that put the Europeans on notice with what the problems are and what the problems are with them as an ally. This is President Trump fighting on Every front. They also have the resistance on every front where they have gotten traction so far. And this is just slowing down, is going to court and suing in every different possibility. We just got breaking news right here. Gavin Newsom has basically thrown in the towel at least partially on sanctuary cities. He's going to veto a bill passed in that radical legislature in California that doubles down on sanctuary cities, doubles down on fighting President Trump. I think this is the $50 million bill. As we said, there won't be a penny, and I think Ambassador Grenell agrees. There won't be a penny of relief until that bill is rescinded. There won't even be discussions about money going out there. If you're going to double down, if you're looking for citizens of this country to come in and help rebuild Southern California after these tragic fires, at the same time, you're going to fight getting rid of illegal alien invaders from the country, from the state of California specifically. And you're going to have these sanctuary cities that are just going to thwart the ICE agents and others on this deportation. You're not going to get any money. He folded. Gavin Newsom in New York City. Murray, Louisiana. Chicago, New York City. Chicago's already. They're throwing down hard. Pritzker is basing his 28 run. This is his launch. So they're not going to back off. You're going to, I think you have to go in and arrest them in New York City. This gets to the centerpiece right now of this controversy that took place overnight. And I'm not saying it's a quid pro quo, but it's been open that the Trump administration wants Eric Adams to cooperate on this situation of sanctuary cities. Let's be blunt. Given the rollout of ice and it was fantastic. We still got, you know, you got 12 million people got to go. We got to ramp it up. One's logistics. This is why in all these confusing reconciliation that's going on, one thing you should understand is they want more money for defense, another hundred billion dollars for defense, and they want $175 billion. I want that to sink in for a second what Biden, these people did. And to me, we should go sue these guys that did it. One, there should be criminal charges. Number two, there should be civil action. It's $175 billion. We need to get all the infrastructure, logistics and operations to secure the border and to get the illegal aliens invaders out of the country. 175 billion in a nation that doesn't have it. In a nation. This budget deal, which I'll go through momentarily, next couple blocks, the budget deal is going to cut a couple hundred billion dollars from Medicaid. And supposedly it's not going to cut any Medicaid in areas of the country that MAGA or others are in. It's going to do for illegal alien invaders. Think 100 billion out of that, and also put work requirements in, which should be in for everybody. $175 billion. And you have these mayors, these big cities, to get to the illegal criminals, alien criminals, you got to go to the jails, the prisons, state prisons and jails that are right there. They're being thwarted. Eric Adams had these federal charges. He's very upfront. The federal charges would have never come until he became an anti sanctuary mayor. Then, voila, it came. These things are being negotiated. I think President Trump signed an executive order that he wants all authorities. He's given. Emil Bovey, who has tremendous confidence in, has done such a great job. He's the number three guy in justice, but he kind of held down justice until Pam Bondi got. Pam Bondi got approved. And now Pam is all over the folks in New York, as I recommended she should be. Manhattan is a festering sore. This is where, and it makes sense, this is where. It's the financial capital of the world. The global elites live there, either permanent residents or have, you know, have penthouses or, you know, these townhouses up in the Upper west side or upper, particularly Upper east side. They're all globalist sources given a ton of money to get Bragg in there, Letitia James there. They have a complete rigged system and they're going to thwart you. This a perfect example. Just on, simply on the, on the, on the sanctuary cities. And about Mayor Adams, these charges. This is a federal charge. You've already had a couple of, a couple of resignations. They won't do it. That's fine. Emma Bovey will find somebody, clear out the whole rats. And I cleared all Southern district in New York. Get them all out. Clean the whole rat's nest out. Let them go. You got to play hardball here. And that's not even at the state level. You got to go. You got to go at the state or they're going to thwart you. Today in the news cycle, msnbc, this is all they're jammed up on, saying it's a Saturday Night Massacre for Trump. It's slowing Trump down. And I told you, they're going to go into federal court, they're going to lose in federal Court. President Trump is perfectly within his purview as the chief executive officer of the United States government to do what he's doing and to designate Elon Musk or anybody he wants to designate to be.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. So we're going to get, I think, Andy Biggs. The budget's out and we're going to make sure at least that you can understand this. Now, this is not related to 14. They're talking about the out years. They're talking about fiscal year 26. And this is all based around Jason Smith's the tax cut we're going to get any Biggs, at least I want you to get a baseline to begin to understand what this concept is. One thing I can tell you, and look, I'm all about cuts this year, next year, after that. It's. It doesn't really interest me because it's all theoretical and never happens. But I can tell you that at least in this edition, it's gone from 30 billion. When they were down at Doral, they had $30 billion in cuts a year and they're going up now to 200 billion in cuts, but on a $2 trillion deficit. I mean, that's not really much of a down payment. But that's. They think they've maxed out and any big's going to come explain to us at least as clearly as it can be explained. A lot of Work to do on this. One of the ways to come and understand all this is come to CPAC this year and join us. Cpac.org war room. You get a ticket for 76 bucks and with that ticket you get to join us the day before on Wednesday all day. We're actually through the good offices of Real America's Voice, going to actually do the War Room. Not in the studio that's being built for Real America's Voice and War Room for CPAC proper. But we're going to kind of Jerry rig a little studio right there so we can do the show live. So we're going to probably start, this is not totally official, probably start at 9 o'clock in the morning. We want as many people from the area as can come as possible. This is going to be incredible. We throw in a free lunch, but this is really a training, this is a workshop all day. We're going to have some incredible people there. I think on Monday, maybe even tomorrow on the Saturday show I'll be able to walk through the schedule a bit more. But during cpac we're going to have a party on Thursday night. We're going to have a brunch for everybody on Sunday morning and who knows, may throw in another party on our traditional Saturday night party trying to find a venue. Bottom line, it's going to be great. You have a blast. You're going to get to meet everybody and get us all focused. What has to happen the rest of this year to kind of continue to roll out the days of thunder. That's cpac.org war room. $76 is your ticket. So that's a special deal given by cpac. So really appreciate all of you for coming and want to check that out and want everybody there. It's going to be incredible. The workshop, the force multiplier is going to be incredible. We're going through right now. Grace and Mo and Jojo and Elizabeth. Everybody's pitching in here to help us think it through. We got Alex Degrasse and some other people to help pitch into to make sure we think all this through. So it's going to be great. Cpac.org worm on everybody there. Do I have the JD stuff yet? I'm going to play some, some parts. So. Okay. It's kind of confusing because a couple of contingent groups over there, you got Pete Hexess over there, Marco Ruby's over there, JD's over there. They're going. They were in Brussels at NATO. Now that the Munich Security Conference. The Munich Security Conference is The coming together of kind of all the defense industry, it's Davos for the arms merchants. It's become a big deal. All the deep state guys there, all the globalists are there. And, you know, I think President Trump felt this was a good year to send a team over there and to set them straight. Pete Hegseth blew their heads up the other day saying, hey, look, let's be realistic. We're not going to go back to the, you know, to the pre 19, you know, to these, before the war started, borders. You got to be realistic about this, about what's reality in Ukraine. I actually think by engaging too much in this, you show it's too much interest. I'm the hardest core of the hardcore to say, hey, look, you stole our $250 billion. We know we're never going to get it back. Good riddance, and just walk away. Last night actually on msnbc, they had a quote and they said, oh, well, if Trump doesn't do this negotiation, right, if he doesn't really, you know, do this brilliant negotiation and leave Ukraine within NATO in the EU with original borders, it'll be considered his Vietnam. I told you that was coming. That's the first time it's quoted. But hey, you wait. You're going to see all the newspaper articles, all the think pieces. Give it four weeks. This is Trump's Vietnam. You know, he can't cut a deal. He needs to be committed. So it's. I beg to differ on that. You know, we had the strategic meeting with Modi yesterday, who's kind of the anchor of the Indo Pacific. We're gonna have some commentary, I think, later on that. But let's go to, let's go to JD and let's go hear the hear. JD had a total throat and he said, hey, it was kind of like, remember, it was a pogo back in the old days. We have met the enemy and he is us. Remember that old cartoon? God, my dad used to say that all the time. Laugh every time he said it. JD's speech was kind of that they met the enemy. In Europe, he's met the enemy and it's the Europeans. Let's watch.

Unknown Speaker 2
Be a part of our shared society. And of all the pressing challenges that the nations represented here face, I believe there is nothing more urgent than mass migration. Today, almost one in five people living in this country moved here from abroad. That is, of course, an all time high. It's a similar number, by the way, in the United States, also an all time high. The number of immigrants who entered the EU from non EU countries, doubled between 2021 and 2022 alone. And of course, it's gotten much higher since. And we know this situation. It didn't materialize in a vacuum. It's the result of a series of conscious decisions made by politicians all over the continent and others across the world over the span of a decade. We saw the horrors wrought by these decisions yesterday in this very city. And of course, I can't bring it up again without thinking about the terrible victims who had a beautiful winter day in Munich ruined. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and will remain with them. But why did this happen in the first place? It's a terrible story, but it's one we've heard way too many times in Europe, and unfortunately, too many times in the United States as well. An asylum seeker, often a young man in his mid-20s, already known to police, rams a car into a crowd and shatters a community. How many times must we suffer these appalling setbacks before we change course and take our shared civilization in a new direction? No voter on this continent went to the ballot box to open the floodgates to millions of unvetted immigrants. But you know what they did vote for in England? They voted for Brexit. And agree or disagree, they voted for it. And more and more all over Europe, they're voting for political leaders who promise to put an end to out of control migration. Now, I happen to agree with a lot of these concerns, but you don't have to agree with me. I just think that people care about their homes, they care about their dreams. But while the Trump administration is very concerned with European security and believes that we can come to a reasonable settlement between Russia and Ukraine, and we also believe that it's important in the coming years for Europe to step up in a big way to provide for its own defense. The threat that I worry the most about vis a vis Europe is not Russia, it's not China, it's not any other external actor. And what I worry about is the threat from within. The retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America.

To put this in perspective, folks, a senior official of the United States government, the vice president, number two in the chain of command, or actually, number two in the line of succession. Maybe not the chain of command, but the line of succession went to the Munich Security Conference. And this is their prom. This is the deep state. This is all the intelligence services, all the arms manufacturers, all the national security apparatus, all of it. All the Foreign national security members, everybody, everybody's been dining off this carcass for decades and decades and decades. They made Munich. It's like Davos or it's for grassroots. You got cpac, you have Amfest. It's that on testosterone. JD Vance went over there with a speech that was approved by the White House. I'm sure President Trump had a few markups to it and threw down. You can't describe how hard this throw down was. He looked those folks in the eye and called him out, said, hey, the problem's not Russia, problem's not China. I'm looking at the problem. The problem is a ossified elite that don't bear the brunt of. Of mass migration, but have turned their countries over to is nothing short of stunning. And they're going to be hating on JD for saying it, but it was very powerful. It's equivalent to the speech. Remember he had JDN a couple of years ago, one of the first speeches, he was still running for the. Even in the. I think he just announced, it was just beginning the primary, the tough primary he had, and he gave that speech over in Crystal City or Pentagon City across the river, where he talked about the military industrial complex kind of to their face, right at the part right next to it. This is the different take. This is why people went to prison. This is why President Trump, they had the whole J6 committee. This is why they've gone out of their way to try to destroy this and they're still actively trying to destroy it. Do not think we're past the woods at all. And don't think they're going to give JD a standing ovation and up. Give him warm hugs and say, hey, Pete. He says, you know, it's so great this is happening. JD thank you for coming. Thank you for. Thank you for smack talking us right to our face, calling us out as hypocrites. This is the direction of the MAGA movement. This is what populist nationalism looks like. This is what America first looks like. This is what setting things right looks like. Over the last 72 hours, we've essentially told Europe, you're not going to be a protectorate anymore. Have you heard that somewhere before? You're not going to be a protectorate. You're not a vassal state. We're not a hegemon. We don't want to be a hegemon. We don't want the burden of this whole thing on our shoulders. We're not prepared to pay for it. And we're particularly not prepared to send our sons and daughters to die for it, to enforce it. Especially given the fact that you're using this post war international rules based order and all the laws and regulations and customs and traditions you set up around it to gut the United States of America, to gut our manufacturing, to gut our beautiful cities on the interior, to give generation after generation of young men of every ethnicity, color and religious persuasion hopelessness. The day is over. It's finished. When I really knew the day was over was when President Trump said, panama to Greenland. Panama to Greenland. Monroe Doctrine 2.0 A thrusting forward into the Atlantic, the defense from the Caribbean all the way to the Arctic. The defense of the United States with a naval strategy to say, yeah, the Russian navy is a problem for us, but we can contain that. But the Russian army, we're not a continental power and we've done it before. We've shed so much blood in World War I and World War II, the Cold War, it's done. As Churchill said, the new world will come to save the old. Well, bro, you had it three times. Three times a charm. We're out. We'll be there as an ally, but only as an ally, not an underwriter. It's a big difference. We're prepared to be an ally, but not an underwriter of the entire project because what the elites have done is allowed. They're people to have full health care, free college pensions, all that. And you to have nothing because your leaders sold you out because of the money they're making at the Wait for it. Munich Security Conference. And where does that manifest itself? Hmm, Let me think. Wait for it. I'm thinking. I'm thinking. It's going to come. Oh, yeah, that's right.

Stephen K. Band. I'm gonna tell my producer right now. Let's get the Bobby Kennedy thing. We haven't played spinach, so we've had so much, so much action, action, action. Also, so many live hits in the day. It's the President's Day weekend. Of course they're all taking off. They're all taken off early. House is not back until the House is not back for a week or so, 10 days in fact. We're trying to get Andy Biggs up and we go try to get Congressman Biggs and have him explain at least take a first cut. Explain this, the budget numbers so that you're up to speed on this. The Bobby Kennedy, another huge day. Tulsi Gabbard, Tulsi, I think is already over in Munich. Just monumental cash voted out 1210 cash is going to get confirmed no matter what they say. You see the, you see what happens when you get a Pam Bondi in an Emil Bovey. It's so important to get these folks in. You see the days of, the days of thunder rolling out. They're fighting everywhere. They're going to court. And you heard this morning on the Morning Joe, they've been planning this for a while. They're going out and getting, you know, getting people that they think are great, are great litigants to go out and do it. So they're going to try to stop at the federal court level. You're going to get slowed down, but you get expedited appeal. Then you get on the emergency docket if it needs to go farther. The Supreme Court, I think in the federal courts, I think we're going to do fine. But we need everybody at the ramparts. Not today. Today is the day of kind of talk things over and get new information. It's not an action day. Going to be an action day very shortly in Texas. Horrible news coming out of there after the great win and the massive win in November and of course what we did on Paxson now the establishment, remember they took the speakership in that vote. And it looks like they've now cut the Democrats in for a big hunk of the carving up the piece and cutting the Democrats in for a big piece of it. So we're going to get on top of that this afternoon tomorrow. So we got a lot of local stuff, part of the @CPAC. Go to cpac.org war room and we haven't had enough time given everything that's going on with President Trump and you know, globally, geopolitically, all that. We haven't enough time to go back and get some updated stories of where we stand with the precinct strategy. What I can tell you overall is hey, guess what? The Republican establishment at any level is not welcoming you with a big group hug. There's fights everywhere. And South Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, all these places are so important.
