Commentator 1
There are a lot of things that are happening in Washington, been happening over the past couple of years where there really aren't a lot of parallels. I suspect though, this view of the world, what, what, what is old is new again. This view of the world that Donald Trump is bringing in to the White House and sort of smashing this post war order that has seen the United States dominate the world economically and militarily in every other way, culturally, you name it. We've domina since end of World War II, but he's trying to bring about this new order.
Commentator 2
Take us back.
Commentator 1
Is this more like a Teddy Roosevelt imperialist approach? Is this William McKinley? Who, who, who does this remind you of his, his, his worldview when it comes to power politics?
Commentator 3
It's older than that even. It's almost medieval and renaissance, right? This, this is a royal house with a kingdom who bases relations on personal connection, personal feeling. To go to something Susan said a moment ago and basically the transfer of assets, it's a very autocratic, very straightforward. I mean, let's be honest, it's kind of, I don't want to say refreshing, but, but the President is being very clear here. So one of the things that I think is, is really important here is to remember that we are now living to shift from a historical metaphor to a cultural one. We're now living in the Sopranos, right? This is a, there, this is a protection racket. Basically. President Zelensky is being asked to come to Washington to pay for our protection. And one of the most revealing moments I think of the last couple of weeks was and some comments the President made. It was about the Associated Press situation in the White House. And I believe I have this almost, almost exactly right. But it's certainly the essence of it. The AP doesn't do me any favors, so I'm not going to do them any favors. That's the way the world works. That's the way the world works. That's where we are. And it's a, there's not a lot of diplomatic thought here. You know, this is, there's not going to be a foreign affairs piece about this doctrine. That's the way the world works.
Commentator 2
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. All these networks lying about the people.
Commentator 4
The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but.
Commentator 2
You'Re not going to stop it it's going to happen.
Commentator 4
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Commentator 2
Ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
Stephen K. Bannon
War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Banner.
Commentator 4
It's Friday 28th February in the year of our Lord 2025. We are live from the Patriot Mobile headquarters in Grapevine, Texas at the good offices of Glenn Story and the team really honored to to be invited down here. We're speaking tonight. Jack, Jack Bosobic is has joined me. He's off of being off a guard. He's no longer heat shield for Pam Bondi. He's down here in Texas. We're going to give a Jack and I are speaking tonight to a big group of Texas MAGA conservatives and grassroots and get people fired up. More about that later. By the way, there is a there's still some seats available.
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah, tables.
Commentator 4
They've expanded out where the tables thing is. So they expand out some general admission they were in a tough time selling tickets when was just post so so I came in you know support Glenn story in the great.
Stephen K. Bannon
Was that right? No, no, because because everyone's fighting over the tickets. It was small.
Commentator 4
Okay so postos with me. We are going to talk about the Pam Bond FBI situation here momentarily. We got some big breaking news. We get to our own Brian Glenn is at the White House. Bryant set up the day Zelinsky's coming. This is the day everybody's talked about. The deal's done. I think it'll be signed this morning. Walk us through the logistics of the day, sir.
Brian Glenn
All right. Good morning everybody. Behind me you've got the color guard getting into position now. President Zelinsky is scheduled to arrive here at the White House and go into the west wing at about 11 o'clock and then shortly after after that Zelensky will meet with President Trump in the Oval Office and have a brief press conference there. We'll make sure we bring you all the results from that. And then a little bit later at 1:00 there is a bilateral press conference in the East Room and I would imagine that's when the press really gets to open up and ask their questions. But it all is about that rare earth minerals agreement and from what I understand that deal is done. It just needs to be signed. But as you would expect, the security around the White House area, this whole perimeter has really Been enhanced the most I've seen from any world leader coming in here. And this is it. I mean, this is one of the biggest meetings. This could be one of the most defining moments, if you will, Steve, of President Trump's second term.
Commentator 4
Well, yes, I do think the bigger one will be, obviously, Putin. This is. I think this is the. Check the box and get out of the way. There's a lot of controversy about this deal. I think even President Trump, like he says, it's for rare earths. And I think, Brian, the way they present this. And Jack, this is, I would say this is a framework. This is a framework for further negotiations and more details on, you know, as an M and A, you kind of get a term sheet. You have an overall term sheet. And then she was.
Stephen K. Bannon
When we went with Besson, two weeks.
Commentator 4
Yes, yes, yes, yes. In fact, you were there. There's some misreport. There was some misreporting on that. Zelinsky was. Was very disrespectful to Secretary Treasury Bessant and essentially signed the same deal, is what I understand. Right.
Stephen K. Bannon
Look, the term sheet that we delivered with Secretary Besant when we took the train to Kiev two nights, or, you know, the night train, Kiev, two weeks ago, the term sheet is remarkably similar to what's going to be coming in today. So this, it's an evolution. But the big piece of it, Steve, was that Zelinsky kept saying, I want a security guarantee. Yes, but you can't do that because a security guarantee is de facto NATO membership. Because that would give you essentially an Article 5 provision.
Commentator 4
Yes, but I think they would take a security guarantee of American troops and, or, okay, two terms. You're going to see here.
Stephen K. Bannon
NATO means American troops. That's the thing.
Commentator 4
Here's the two terms. I think you should look for Brian today. And by the way, Brian is in the press pool today. Brian, you're going to be in the Oval. And Brian, I kind of disagree, although I know you get to ask the first question now, like you're the new Helen Thompson of upi, you get to ask the first question. The big press conference, but the press, we call these press avails, these bilats. And I think President Trump's doing something quite extraordinary. He's inviting the media, not just for the cameras, but he's inviting questions from the media. And some of those I find fascinating. I believe there are going to be some detailed questions at the. Very open to him and Zelensky. And a couple things already backstop. The term of art here is backstop Is there a, if it's not a security guarantee, is there an American backstop?
Stephen K. Bannon
Number two started yesterday with Keir Starmer.
Commentator 4
It's Keir Starmer. And then in Macron, McCrone tried to work his evil magic the other day. The other thing you should hear coming from the Senate is what I'm hearing already is that, oh well, since we have a framework, that means we can put forward another Ukrainian aid package, right. For economic development. What are you hearing at the White House, Brian Glenn?
Brian Glenn
Yeah, that's, I'm hearing a little bit of that as well. But you know what, when you look at social media and Zelensky was trending on X and I read some of the comments, the American people just want this to be over. We're tired of our tax dollars on that conveyor belt going over to Ukraine. And of course we don't know where a lot of that money's gone. We don't know what some of the, the weapons have turned up and ended up in enemy's hands. So they're angry. And that's why I think you see a lot of attention here in D.C. as far as security around this whole entire area. But those are two great questions and hey, shoot me some other ones. I'm more than happy to fire away, figuratively speaking with, with language in that Oval Office.
Commentator 4
And yeah, yeah, Brian, hang on. Jack, jump in. But here's the thing. This can only be looked at in the overall strategic rapprochement with Russia. This is, this is, President Trump is a deal guy. He, he's got, he's got to check a box. He's got a condition precedent he's got to deal with, which is lay your guns down. The way I'm going to get a layer of guns down is we'll do some sort of ephemeral deal for their rare earth.
Stephen K. Bannon
See, this is why, this is why Zelinsky wouldn't sign it with Besson because the Linsky wanted today to happen. He wants to pomp and circumstance. He wants, because look, what does he know is going to come after this? What does he have after this back home elections. Once martial law ends, he's got to.
Commentator 4
Run because President Trump's going to force it. Brian Glenn, you're there. You understand the tension between the MAGA base who supports President Trump 100% by saying, hey look, you know, we know as soon as it's done, you're going to have the Lindsey Graham's, you're going to have the, all those neocons, neoliberal, neocons in the Senate, they're going to get another big. And you're going to start hearing nonstop, we need a security, you need a backup. Just, you know, just, just a backstop. And that backstop means American troops are.
Stephen K. Bannon
A little bit more. One more hit. Just give me one more hit.
Commentator 4
Is, is the White House in your reporting, particularly at the staff level, are they aware of this, sir?
Brian Glenn
Oh, yes, sir, I think they are. And I think they're listening to the American people as far as what their feedback has been on social in regards to that. You know, I made a joke earlier on American Sunrise that I wanted to print out my tax return and see if I can just get Zelinsky to sign his name on there as a dependent in my household, because I feel like a lot of our taxes have just been going over there and paying for him. Not sure if that's going to happen today, but I'm happy to bring one in the Oval Office if he'll sign it. But this is the most, you know, when you look at all these world leaders that have been here, and this one obviously is the one that people are focused on that they want this war over. It's hugely unpopular, just the financing of it. And of course, you know, if you were against financing this war, you were called a Putin puppet and all this other stuff and shout out to people in the very beginning who stood up against this war and wanted to end it as they were labeled, you know, just communist and anti American. And I just don't understand why we want to continue to fund this war.
Commentator 4
Brian, two things. Number one, I appreciate your saving your best stuff for Morning Sunrise. I mean, what do we got here? Okay, Harry, get on this. Number two, if you look at msnbc, brother, they, they hate this deal because they hate the fact that Trump is actually bringing peace. This is essentially the predicate to a ceasefire.
Stephen K. Bannon
Right, Jack?
Commentator 4
And they hate it. They're all over, yes, this is Putin.
Stephen K. Bannon
Yes, whatever he wants.
Commentator 4
Putin puppets.
Stephen K. Bannon
You're appeasing aggression and etc. Etc. Etc. Because. But Steve, this is where they intuit what you just said, which is absolutely, absolutely correct. They intuit that what's really going on is the strategy. And Marco Rubio laid this out in his confirmation hearing. The strategy of we are no longer going to be the global hegemon.
Commentator 4
Exactly.
Stephen K. Bannon
Russia is going to be there at the end of the day, China is going to be there. So you have to have a policy and the policy can't be we're going to war and regime change being A.
Commentator 4
Hegemon means you're an imperial power, not an imperial power. By the way, the key thing is to in the rapprochement, to bring Russia into our camp, break them off from the ccp.
Stephen K. Bannon
Balance.
Commentator 4
Just for the audience, President Trump has to balance all this. This is why he's the master dealmaker. This is quite complicated, I would say. Don't get too worked up about this. I don't actually see first off, there's a question of geography. Number one, if you look at the deal itself, Brian, most of the rare earths we're talking about, minerals we're talking about, are actually in a place called the Donbas. If not that Russian tanks are sitting on the rest of.
Stephen K. Bannon
But he said, he Putin said, hey, you sign the deals, I'll sign you a deal too.
Commentator 4
Exactly. So I think there's some reality here, Brian, you got to get ready. So, Brian, next time we see Brian will hear his voice in the, in the Oval Office. That's going to be approximately 11:00, Brian.
Brian Glenn
Yeah, that's assuming that Zelinsky gets here on time. We'll find out that. But schedule about 1105, just shortly after 11 o'clock hour.
Commentator 4
So what we're going to do, Brian Glenn, what is your social media so people can keep up with with you with your travels? Also today, later, Brian, you are going to be on what plane leaving here?
Brian Glenn
That would be Air Force One out of Joint Base Andrews headed to Florida on the weekend, covering President Trump on the ground there in Florida. Stay tuned to me, Brian Glenn TV across the board at Brian on Truth Social and at Brian Glenn TV on Getter.
Commentator 4
Yep, I knew Brian Glenn was just some schmendrick doing the right side broadcast, grinding out in these fields, you know, covering the thing. Baby, you've come a long way.
Stephen K. Bannon
Mosanee, Wisconsin, Brian Glenn.
Commentator 4
It shows you. You keep grinding, folks, good things are going to happen. We love you, brother. Brian Glenn back in the Oval. We're going to have coverage live of all this today. Also Air Force One, the takeoff. We're going to take a short commercial break, Jack, but so if it's with me, talk about the Trump effect. The war President Trump wants to get on is the war against the Mexican cartels. And he's on it. A massive development overnight extradition of I think 28 of the worst of the cartel leaders as President Trump preps the kinetic part of the war that matters on our southern border with the cartels.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.
Commentator 4
Okay, welcome back. We're live at the Patriot Mobile headquarters in Grapevine, Texas. Want to thank Glenn Story and the team. We're gonna. If we can't fit in it today because of Zelinsky, we're gonna have Patriot Mobile on hopefully this afternoon and tomorrow. I'm giving a big speech tonight. Jack is the opening act.
Stephen K. Bannon
I get to open?
Commentator 4
Yes.
Stephen K. Bannon
I get to open for Steve.
Commentator 4
Oh, boy. Look at. Take Brian Glenn. There it is right there. It's up on the screen right now. If you, if you. You gotta start somewhere if you're in the area. There's still general admission tickets. I think they're opening up seats even as we speak. All the tables are sold out, etc. I'll be doing a meet and greet before, so make sure everybody gets there. Love to hang out with you guys. Want to thank Glenn's Story in the entire team Brian Glenn. I'm telling. So proud of that guy now. So here's the logistics. At 11 o'clock, Zelensky is supposed to show up. I think at 11, if we can go to the color guard, if Denver or Harry, if we can get a do a split screen. I want to see the color guard. It looks pretty impressive.
Stephen K. Bannon
We were there yesterday.
Commentator 4
President Trump, were you there yesterday? Were you at the. You were the heat shield. We're going to get into all the.
Stephen K. Bannon
We're there to see.
Commentator 4
We have huge breaking news about Carter. There we are right there. Great shot. This is the color guard that's imminent yesterday. What was the problem? Pam Bondi oversold this. There were. You had every major influencer there. You had Cerno, you had yourself, you had D.C. drano, you had, you know, and you had Congressman Anna Paulina Luna. You got people all over this. It was a big disappointment. Does she in fact not is DOJ not have the false goes they sent a letter. And what I will tell you if, if there's information there, Cash Patel and Dan Bond Jr. Are the two best guys in the world to organize this and to get it out, if it can be gotten out. I have no idea about the legality of it, but if you got Cash on point and you have Dan Bongino on point, you have the two best guys. The fiasco yesterday was because of. In your best judgment. What. Why did that happen?
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, I think what happened was, is that people were expecting there to be new stuff in these binders. Certainly we expected there to be new stuff in the binders as well. And we had been invited to the White House, you know, but hang on. It was Caroline Levitt and J.D. that was the, the invite was to meet with them, do policy briefings, etc. Etc. The name Epstein was never once even mentioned prior to. Prior to this. So then the binders come in. And of course we've seen that she's been doing the media tour, saying that this is going to come. It's on the desk. We're going to have it soon. Puts this out. Okay.
Commentator 4
So she came over and joined the meeting. Essentially.
Stephen K. Bannon
She joined up. Yeah. And we were meeting with Bobby, we've met with, we met with Rubio.
Commentator 4
So you met with major cabinet officials.
Stephen K. Bannon
They all came through.
Commentator 4
Okay. And we're giving you background, which they traditionally do to influencers of the media, etc. So you know what's going on. Kind of off the record backgrounder. So you guys are fully up to speed on things like today, by the way, Split screen right there. If you listen on the podcast, make sure you go to war room, was it.org and get, get the newsletter. You got to get the videos here. The, the coverage is amazing and real. America's always doing a great job. Zelinsky will be here at 11. He'll go into the Oval. It's another bylat a price. Been a few minutes for the president then they will have a press avail. Not a press conference, a press avail right there. Beautiful.
Stephen K. Bannon
So, so, so Trump's meeting with an unelected autocrat today.
Commentator 4
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. They get on, they get on Trump for being a, for being a fascist, this guy. And I think this is going to force him with this deal to actually hold an election. So I assume he's not going to be the president.
Stephen K. Bannon
The back end of it. So that's what's going to come on the back end is that if the war ends. So he's currently in power right now and it'll almost have been a year till May. It'll be one year since his term ended. So martial law ends, which is constitutional. And war.
Commentator 4
President Trump's doing this again. He's a believer in democracy.
Stephen K. Bannon
So they got to have an election.
Commentator 4
We're going to go to, we got Benjamin, we got Oscar Blue Ribeira, so we have Ben Berkman. Before we go there. I just want to clean this up. Is that, is that so? I mean, I don't think Pam understands the depth that the Warren posse and others that have followed this understand the receipts. My understanding is what were released yesterday has already been released in full in previous federal court filings or in the, the trial of, of Maxwell. Right. So this information was previously informed. I think the people that are, who love Pam and support her are kind of like, how did you say this stuff on Jesse Waters? And if that's all DOJ's got, you should have known that this stuff's been out there for a while and particularly people follow this very closely. Have already seen this. Correct, Correct.
Stephen K. Bannon
And there's this, there's this letter also saying that SDNY is sitting on some of the files as well. There's some whistleblower coming out of that.
Commentator 4
SDNY reports to main Justice. I mean, sdny, that's not even Cash. Cash has FBI. And my understanding, I saw the letter, she went to Cash and said, I want everything on my desk by 8:00 this morning. And if you got Cash, I don't think Dan Bonjr is actually over there yet, but if you have Cash Patel that's the best guy. I mean, Cash is going to be fierce on this. Correct.
Stephen K. Bannon
There's no question. I mean, he's put out statements about it. He had some tweets about it last night up on X. So he's looking for, he's looking for the brass tacks because, look, he's been on the job five days.
Commentator 4
Exactly five days he's been on the job.
Stephen K. Bannon
And this has been something that he's been talking about for years with.
Commentator 4
That's the ny, though. The Southern District of New York reports to Main Justice. I mean, the report to a U.S. attorney, but that U.S. attorney. So if it's, if they're saying.
Stephen K. Bannon
So here's.
Commentator 4
They're saying their files. I mean, if the rat's nest and SDNY's got to be cleaned up.
Stephen K. Bannon
Steve, here's the scuttlebutt, right? And it doesn't need to be clean. The scuttlebutt is that they think what they're going to hear. Get back. Is they're going to say, wait a minute, Ghislaine Maxwell, right? Who, who was the accomplice? She was Lady Epstein. They're going to say, oh, her appeal is still in process. Something you know about. And so if her appeals in process, then we can't release this because it's in process.
Commentator 4
Well, then there's a color guard right there taking position. This means that maybe Zelensky is going to be here a little early.
Stephen K. Bannon
And this is what happened yesterday. So yesterday we walk out the portico door, we're just walking to the eeob, which you see behind there, the Eisenhower building. We did. And then the entire media is there waiting for Keir stomach.
Commentator 4
Yeah. Do you think you were set up? Is that what you're implying?
Stephen K. Bannon
I think that. I think that you got to work. There are no coins. I think there's no conspiracies, but there are no coins.
Commentator 4
Why would they do that when they didn't give you any information? That would be the exact opposite of what they would want to do, wouldn't they?
Stephen K. Bannon
Look, here's, here's my position, right? My position is, I mean, no offense.
Commentator 4
We had, we had the. If we had the best people in.
Stephen K. Bannon
Our information, we're going to put it out.
Commentator 4
Cerno, you, you had everybody. It's a who's who of influencers.
Commentator 2
And I'm.
Stephen K. Bannon
And I'm going to keep asking them for more information. And then we're going to keep going back and we're going to press them and say, look, and I'm in Communication, by the way.
Commentator 4
I don't think asking is going to do it. I think what's the information of the demanded.
Stephen K. Bannon
We're in communication with Anna Polina Luna. Congresswoman Anna Polina Luna, as we everyone knows, is very hot on this. And she's going to be going over and she said, you know what? You know what? We've dealt with DOJ not giving.
Commentator 4
Guys, I want to keep. Okay, I'm a direct. Now we go back to. I want the shot. I want that beautiful shot in front of the. Yes. I don't. I'd seen enough of Jack and the audience knows. The audience knows how beautiful I am.
Oscar Blue Ramirez
Right.
Commentator 4
They don't need to see it on a right there. Now, this is the working side of the West Wing. This is where these bilats. When you're not on a state visit, when you're here for a working visit, this is where you come and the color guard is put out there as a honor. It's a very short. When he goes inside, the president normally comes out to meet people. He didn't come out the first time with Macron the other day. The reason was Macron was coming early, kind of unofficially to join President Trump in the Oval office for the G7 conference call. And it was a video call, so they want to have it secure. And Macron wanted to be the president. Macron then left and came back and got this. So this is a working visit to the White House right there.
Stephen K. Bannon
Actually got to run into Dr. Navarro yesterday a little bit there as he was coming out with.
Commentator 4
With.
Stephen K. Bannon
With his.
Commentator 4
Okay, so people should understand right to the left. See the port of go. That is the West Wing. Now the West Wing is one or two stories right there. These officers are very crammed.
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, you're actually looking at the second story.
Commentator 4
Exactly.
Stephen K. Bannon
The hill.
Commentator 4
Exactly.
Stephen K. Bannon
There's a low earth level as well.
Commentator 4
And there's also the underneath. That's the National Security Council, though the military. As I say, the West Wing is a military command post with a very old office, small office. Now where Dr. Navarro and most of the people you see is the Executive Office Building is in the background. That is the old State Department and War Department. It's a massive, massive building. Thousand people or more.
Stephen K. Bannon
People don't realize that the West Wing actually isn't that big.
Commentator 4
Tiny, very tiny of the Oval Office. The east. The East Wing actually were the first ladies offices in the East Ballroom space. That's where the press conference takes. They take place in the East Room. They'll be there today. So a Massive breaking news. So the bottom line of this is cash is. Got it. At the FBI, there's some controversy about Southern District, but people are working on this. You guys were there for a briefing with all the cabinet officials. JD, Caroline Levitt, this Carol Bondi popped in, gave you guys the binders, and you went outside and it turned out to be the Prime Minister of. Of England was there and he had 100 to a couple of hundred press guys, and you guys gave an impromptu press conference, but didn't have a lot of receipts. Right.
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, that was the thing, right. You know, they hand you this thing. They say, hey, walk out this door. You walk out. Oh, there's the cameras.
Commentator 4
Did they tell you that this is like phase one, that this is not.
Todd Bensman
That's right.
Commentator 4
Presented to you.
Stephen K. Bannon
The way it was presented was this is phase one and there's going to be more. They also gave us copies of the letter.
Commentator 4
Okay, look, nobody's happy on this. I know that some people are outraged. Beautiful camera shot right there. You don't have. You don't do a split screen. Give me a whole screen. I want the whole screen. I got enough of Jack Bosovic. I got to look at him right here next to me, and the audience remembers what my beautiful visage is. Okay, let's go. We got serious business on the cartel war. Zelinski today is to stop the Ukraine war. I think we can be very safe that President Trump. That's a condition precedent. You got to lay down your guns. The war that President Trump is really focused on is the cartel war. Let's go to Todd Bensman. I've also got Ben Berquam, Oscar Blue Ramirez is in Mexico and Tijuana. We're going to go to all that. Benjamin, we got about a minute here to tee this up. How big a deal was this extradition of these 28 cartel leaders, sir, by President Trump and the Trump administration, with the cooperation of the Mexican government, sir.
Todd Bensman
This is hugely meaningful and impactful. They have convinced the Mexican government to expel and extradite 29 founding fathers of the Mexican cartels, six of them which have been designated terrorist organizations recently. Claudia Sheinbaum has just bought herself another couple months of a reprieve from Donald Trump's threat of trade tariffs. That's what this is all about. So these are big scalps that Sheinbaum has brought to Donald Trump. This is a major victory. It's a first blow to the cartels of many more to come. There's a lot of work to be done here. These 29 guys are mass murderers. They'll be brought here with a to to refill the death row. Federal death row that Joe Biden, you know, cleared out on his last days in office. Now we've got some new.
Stephen K. Bannon
Sounds good to me.

Okay, right there, you see, that's a beautiful structure of the White House. That's the West Wing. We're expecting President Zelensky of Ukraine. It's a huge, huge day for peace and prosperity. We're not. No one's crazy about this deal, but you understand President Trump's trying to do he's trying to recoup money and he's adamant. There was $350 billion. Zelensky's coming. That's the color guard. This is a working visit. Just like Prime Minister Starmer yesterday, Macron, President of France. These are working visits. A bilat. What it's called. Brian Glenn is now. Brian is getting set up and getting in. They probably team up in the Roosevelt Room, which is right across the hall from the Oval. Brian Glenn, our own Brian Glenn, will be there. There'll be a camera crew, etc. And this goes back, Jack, to this thing of. Of President Trump and Caroline Levitt and Susie Wiles doing something that needed to be done. They've taken control of the White House pool. So now you just don't have the New York Times and MSNBC and all these people that are sitting there just putting their framing on it, which is always negative, particularly about President Trump. You now have Newsmax, you have Real America's Voice, you have the podcasters, etc.
Stephen K. Bannon
Once you've not. Let's not. It's not just about the framing, but it's also about the fact that. And. And there are anonymous media sources going around all over the last couple of weeks. Look, you're seeing the purges going on at NBC and msnbc, massive restructuring. And the executives are saying, look, half of the people in this country don't believe anything that we're saying. Any of this stuff that we're writing, any of this stuff that we're putting out. We have no stroke with 50% of the country. And if we don't have that and we can't even motivate more people to vote, then what are we doing it for? What are we doing this for? And so what Caroline Levitt is doing, absolute genius. And then President Trump as well, is saying, look, we're going through new media to find where the people are.
Commentator 4
And we can tell you. And we've done changes to programming. We do a lot more live coverage from the White House, because I tell people, you're seeing history being made. There are decades in which nothing happens. The weeks in which decades happen. This week, think about it. And I don't think this has ever happened in White House history. You've had the President of France, the Prime Minister of the United King of uk, Two of our oldest, our two oldest allies. There's the Marines coming outside. We're pulling in right now. So this is getting closer. I think he's going to be there at 11 or close to 11. We'll be covering it live. Great shots. I want to hold that shot. I'm going to bring some guests. So President Trump is here today to stop the fighting in Ukraine and he's doing it with us. First is a minerals deal. It's not perfect, but it's a condition President to get President Trump to what he really wants to do as a rapprochement with Russia and to make sure that we can lay the guns down in Western Europe and stop, you know, spending a trillion dollars a year on defense and focus on the Chinese Communist Party, the railhead of all the problems.
Stephen K. Bannon
What's being done is he's taking the international structure of globalism, which is based around this, an American hegemonic state that existed sort of after the end of World War II, because the post war.
Commentator 4
International rules based war, which is originally.
Stephen K. Bannon
Set up to contain communism. Yes, to contain the Soviet Union. That's why you see Afghanistan, that's why you saw Vietnam, that's why you saw the rest of it. But then what happened in 1991, 1992 after the Soviet Union fell, which could hang on.
Commentator 4
But don't bury the lead. But don't bury the lead in 19 what, 72, 73, it was Kissinger and Nixon going to see Mao Zedong to say, if we want to take now they were more detent, but they said, if we want to actually have a shot at containing the Soviet Union and stopping this, we have to get China on a side.
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, they exacerbate what was called at the time the Sino Soviet split split.
Commentator 4
And then President Reagan came in to say, hey, look, I saw what Nixon did, but Nixon wanted detente with these guys, I can take down the evil empire. And it took essentially from 1981 to 1989, took about eight or nine years. President Reagan had left office, but the evil empire collapsed. Berlin Wall and the central part of that was getting the Chinese on our side. We've done this is totally reversed. This was President Trump's grand strategy.
Stephen K. Bannon
The goal is a new Sino Soviet split, but in the other direction.
Commentator 4
In the other direction. And this is what he wanted to accomplish in the first term. It was prevented. Now when you talk about America first, President Trump is saying, hey, look, we got to secure the homeland. He's not really interested in the war in Ukraine. He wants the guns to be put down so we can get peace and prosperity and do this geostrategic realignment. What he wants to focus on. Just like folks, don't forget isis. When President Trump came in the first time, as you Remember, Obama told us there's a generational problem. The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria had more control of territory, of territory and real estate than the size of Iraq or the size of Syria.
Stephen K. Bannon
And who was the general that he went and got briefed on that was raising.
Commentator 4
Raising Cain. That's why raising Keynes, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. When he got. So President Trump. And this is what Mattis did. Well, President Trump said, I want to take down isis. And I think it was in the first five or six months ISIS was gone.
Stephen K. Bannon
Let me.
Commentator 4
And I'll.
Stephen K. Bannon
And I'll. Yeah, I'll actually take one down a notch from Mattis on that. What, what they did was they, they reinstate. And by the way, this just happened again. What they did is they restructured what's called the kill chain.
Commentator 4
Yes.
Stephen K. Bannon
So the kill chain is when we found fine, fixed and evaluated. So the F3 EA cycle is you found the terrorist leader, you found the high value target, you can go strike on him. The way Obama had it written in the early fight and Biden did the.
Commentator 4
Same, led to Soleimani all the way.
Stephen K. Bannon
Up, all the way up to the White House. Is that almost Obama or one of his guys, Ben Rhodes had to sign off on it. Trump deregulated that, delegated it down, said.
Commentator 4
Let the war fighters fight the war six level. Yeah, let the war fighters fight the war. Now why is that relevant? Because President Trump, one of the first things he did was designate a bunch of these Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations. That means you can go next level, finish. The first step he does is I need a forcing function. Forcing function will be 25% across the board, across the board tariffs unless you step up, start stopping fentanyl, help us take these cartels. Todd Benzeman, last night we saw the fruits of President Trump's and this is my point, the guy's been in office 35 days. We've accomplished more in taking down the Mexican drug cartel than in the previous 25 or 30 years. I mean this is true action 29 founding fathers of the cartels. These different, you know, the Sinaloa and all these others you can tell us have, have literally been coughed up by Mexico that has had them for years been coughed up and now they're becoming in U.S. custody. Todd Bensman, how big a deal is this as the predicate for the kinetic part which is going to take down these, take down and eradicate these drug cartels.
Todd Bensman
This is a huge offering by the Sheinbaum administration. And just for context, a lot of these guys have been under extradition requests by the US by many US Governments for decades. And their power from their luxury prison cells. These are guys are in quote, unquote prison, but it's not real prison. And they're still running their operations from there through brute force. And they've managed to get successive Mexican regimes to block U.S. extradition for decades. Now all of a sudden, they're all on military flights being flown into eight different US cities to face justice. And I mean, it's going to be death penalty justice for some of these guys because they killed DEA agents. One of them killed a deputy sheriff in Charlotte, North Carolina. I mean, these guys are in the United States. I don't think anybody disputes that anymore. I mean, no normal person disputes that. So this is first delivery on a requirement by Donald Trump. We're gonna see a lot more and we're gonna probably see some hiding down there too.
Commentator 4
So, Todd, hang on for a second. Let's go to Ben Bercram. I wanna keep this shot or do the preview shot. I'd love stay on the White House. Ben Berkhom joins us. Ben Bergkrom joins us from his home. Ben, you've done this. Oscar, go to Mexico in a second. How big a deal, brother, is this?
Ben Berquam
Yeah, it's huge. It's huge. A couple things not bearing the lead. First off, it's just the beginning. This, this starts the unraveling. It's also going to start the major violence. And we're. Oscar's going to talk a little bit more about that, what they're already seeing down there. But it's two things, as you mentioned. It's the threat of tariffs, but it's also the strength of President Trump designating these organization, terrorist organizations and giving Mexico the backup to be able to do this. This is extremely dangerous for the government in Mexico. The officials in Mexico, not surprisingly, these guys were in. A lot of these guys were in America yesterday, I think kind of on purpose. So they didn't get whacked. When this all happened, some of the guys from the Mexican delegation were actually on the US Side. But the other side of this is Ben, This.
Commentator 4
Ben, Ben, Ben, hang on for a second. Ben, hang for a second. I want to reiterate to the audience that this is a massive blow to the cartels. That's why it's so dangerous. The cartels and Oscars are going to tell us what's happening in Mexico right now. But for the Sheinbaum government, and she's a lefty. Yes, Right. But for her, and she was Forced to do this because 25% tariffs.
Ben Berquam
That's right.
Commentator 4
It's over in Mexico. Her government's over, the country's over.
Ben Berquam
That's right.
Commentator 4
This is, this is Trump. This is called a forcing function. Tell us why it's dangerous for her personally in her government, sir.
Ben Berquam
Because the cartels control every level of government. They control the DAs, they control the judges, they control the municipal governments. They control the military, they control the police. They control just about everything depending on which district you're in, whether you're in the Gulf or the CJNG or the Jalisco New Generation or the Michoacan or all of these guys, the Noreste, all of them control their little factions of the country. They really control Mexico. So for the government to come out and say, we're going to side with America, this really took, again, the threat of tariffs. That's one big part of it. But it also took the backing of the US Military being able to say, we can come in and take you guys out at any moment. And really, the bigger part to this, Steve, as you said, this was Joe Biden for four years, sending our tax dollars, our money over to foreign wars and allowing our country to be invaded. This is the new Bukele mantra where we put the victims first over the criminals. It's never been done before. In particular, you can see how big a deal it is by the attorneys in Mexico. Their reaction to this. They are freaking out the defense attorneys.
Commentator 4
Hang on for one second. You see the split screen. They see the color guard getting ready. Zelinsky's en route. We understand he's going to be at 11:00 Eastern Time. He'll be arriving. Big day for President Trump. There'll be a, he'll go in for a short bilati, then there'll be a press avail. Our own Brian Glenn will be in there. Right there. There's a color guard. Then I think they'll have a working lunch and I think at 1 o'clock they're going to have a, they're going to have a, have a press conference in the East Room. We will also be there real quickly before the intelligence planes are flying around, targeting. The targeting has been done by the intelligence community and kind of a, they haven't been shy about sending the signal to Mexico that we're preparing for something.
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, Steve, understand, and people have to understand as well that these just aren't, these aren't just imagery flights. These are flights that are packed with the entire suite of surveillance and ISR technology. That the United States intelligence community has. We're talking about signal suckers. They're taking their, their even, even signal sniffers. They're pulling up anything that they have down there because by the way, number one, it's cell phones. Tracking up all the cell phones. And then you have to begin the work of the needles in the haystack. So mapping out the networks. Do these guys use SIM swapping like the Taliban or ISIS used to do? Do they practice comsac? Who are the leaders? What are the nodes? You got to build out the network.
Commentator 4
I've got about a minute before we go to break. Let me get Oscar Blue. Ramirez and Oscar, you're down in Mexico.
Stephen K. Bannon
Sir.
Commentator 4
You saw this historic day. You've worked on this for years to get here. But how dangerous is it? Sir?
Oscar Blue Ramirez
It's beginning to be really dangerous, sir. The is this is not a huge blow to the Mexican cartels. It's a huge blow to the other cartels, that is the corrupt politicians in Mexico. Claude Schembaum just gave up all of these big names and the biggest name is Rafael El Caro Quintero who has been being looked and being investigated by the American government. But the other thing is that is not being mentioned. It is the biggest campaign that is in Mayo Zambada that is arrested in the American territory and it is putting pressure on the corrupt politicians in Mexico on Claudia Shane Bound. This is why it's always all of this. It is happening Claude Chaimbone it is being just basically en masse also by the right wing political party in Mexico that is on the rise right now, pressuring the Mexican president to basically stop the drug cartels, to basically stop the wars over here and ultimately put pressure on her to name them as cartel terrorists that she doesn't want to. She's willing to change the constitution just to protect the cartels, to not be named as terrorists. And this is all just because of the 25% terror. So it's a big blow to the Mexican cartels, but it's a bigger blow to the corrupt politicians and the Mexican government and particularly to them.
Commentator 4
Sir. Wow. Okay, hang on for one second. Berkram's going to stick with us. Oscar blew down in Mexico. I'm here live with Jack Bosovic at the Patriot Mobile headquarters. We need you to the ramparts. Not this week, but next week. Big stories in the Hill about, about guess what the CR and they want the Doge numbers in there as this audience has been fighting for short Commercial break We're going to return to The White House in a moment.

Commentator 4
Okay, I want to show you, and particularly the folks that are very concerned about yesterday, let's, let's. We got the great Real America voice camera right there. If we can do some direction. I want to do a slow pan. Now, what you're seeing back there is, hang on. Is the residence part of the White House. That's the color guard they're going to march in. Let's pan around.
Stephen K. Bannon
That's the mansion now.
Commentator 4
The mansion. Yep. By the way, you call it the residence when you're inside baseball. Right there. Okay, stop right there. That colonnade is on the other side of that is the, Is the colonnade in the. That's. Okay, let's. Once you go, you go. Okay, stop right there. Right there. That's the press pool. That's what you want by. The thing we just went past. On the other side is the colonnade you always see coming from the residents and the president walking to the West Wing. And right there, that's the Rose Gardens. On the.
Stephen K. Bannon
On the flip side.
Commentator 4
On the flip side. Yeah, right there. Look at that press map. There's got to be what, 2 or 300.
Stephen K. Bannon
And this is, this is beyond just the press pool.
Commentator 4
Yes.
Stephen K. Bannon
So this is the. Anyone who's got a press pass for the White House, a daily pass today.
Commentator 4
But the President, the hard pass.
Stephen K. Bannon
But they're all there.
Commentator 4
But President Trump Understanding mass communications has opened that up, which I think is good. There's more foreign press, there's more even.
Stephen K. Bannon
Let the boardroom have a correspondent.
Commentator 4
We have a real America's Voice. We have three now. You have Amanda Head right. With John Solomon. You got Natalie Winters with Worm. And you have Brian Glenn.
Stephen K. Bannon
I should. Brian Kevin on there for Human Events.
Commentator 4
We're going to send Human Events.
Stephen K. Bannon
All right.
Commentator 4
The. I think there are background checks that have to come. Oh, yeah, I'm sorry, there's background checks, minimum security. Another executive order, folks, every day. So yesterday. Let me finish this. Yesterday you guys walked out and that's what they had for the British Prime Minister. That's right. You guys are sitting there with a binder. That really is something that was handed to you. Warren. Posse's already seen. Right, right.
Stephen K. Bannon
That the posse seen that people look through this and we didn't even have time to take a couple, three minutes to just look through it yet. Because they hand us this thing and say, okay, we're going to the next room. We walk out. I didn't know where walking this way. Why didn't we go the other way? But we walk out and then boom, everyone's waiting because yesterday was Keir Starmer for. Yeah, the, the British Prime Minister. So all the cameras are there. And you know, look, when DC Drano sees a camera, you know, hold it.
Commentator 4
Don'T go to DC Drone. Jack Bosobic sees the most danger.
Stephen K. Bannon
Not in the picture.
Commentator 4
The most dangerous territory in D.C. is between a microphone, camera and Jack Bosobic.
Stephen K. Bannon
Look, by myself, let's just say, let's.
Commentator 4
Just say, okay, hey, a major executive order has just been signed. Jack Bosovic. And keep, I want to keep on that, keep on that shot. Major executive order has been signed. What is it, sir?
Stephen K. Bannon
President Trump has signed an executive order that harkens back to Teddy Roosevelt and his discussion of hyphenated Americans, if you're familiar with that one, Steve. President Trump's EO is declaring that English is the official language of the United States. That is. And by the way, that's going to have a ripple effect around the country because that means government documents must be in English. Look, it's, it's a.
Commentator 4
Voting and voting has to be in English.
Stephen K. Bannon
Now voting, that's going to be tricky.
Commentator 4
Federal elections, at least voting is going.
Stephen K. Bannon
To be tricky because as we know, voting is run by the states. But how did you have federal elections on background with some very high level senior officials yesterday at the White House, specifically on the Scott Pressler was there yesterday. And that was his. Everyone knows Scott Presser brought it up again and again. Election integrity. Election integrity. And so if we, when we pass the election integrity legislation, this should be front and center that ballots should be printed in English.
Commentator 4
The press is right there now. Right to the right of that is where the, if we can pan around, you can see the portico of the working side of the West Wing where they bring dignitaries and. Okay, that shot's fine. The Zelinsky is going to be here, I think at 11 o'clock. So it'll be about five or six minutes. He will arrive. You'll see the color guard, I think, get in place right before he. He arrives. So we'll be waiting for that.
Stephen K. Bannon
Do you know, do you know the history of Pebble Beach a little bit?
Commentator 4
No, Give it.
Stephen K. Bannon
So Pebble Beach. I looked this up the other day. I was digging up some pebble beach.
Commentator 4
Not being the golf links in Monterey.
Stephen K. Bannon
Pebble beach of the White House.
Commentator 4
Pebble beach of the White House.
Stephen K. Bannon
White House grounds.
Commentator 4
Yes.
Stephen K. Bannon
Is an area. And this is where the camera that you're looking through right now is currently situated. The one that's showing the press pool. So it's, it's the area with all the tents, all the green tents that line up. And that's where members of the media can do their hits. That's where Brian Glenn does his hit. I did an interview with Alina Haba there yesterday. She came out as the counselor to the White House, to the president. And then it's where all the cameras are. But the history is. And the reason they call it pebble beach is because there's. It's just rocks and strewn and it's.
Commentator 4
Like a little gravel walkway.
Stephen K. Bannon
It's like a gravel walkway because you don't need to see it there. Sean Spicer did some, some videos there, did like an Easter thing. But the history of it is that it actually, you know what? The actual first thing that where they started setting up there 247 was Lewinsky. It was back. It was the 90s because they were. That when the Zelinsky skip. Because remember this was. This was the era of TV. That was. It was the O.J. well, it was also Drudge broken, CNN, social media. But Steve, remember, this is when media shifted from we're reporting stories to we're going live.
Commentator 4
Yeah.
Stephen K. Bannon
So we're giving you the car chase. And the car chase in this case was president, the white Bronco.
Commentator 4
The white Bronco was the blue dress.
Stephen K. Bannon
Exactly right. White Bronco.
Commentator 4
If it doesn't Fit. It's. Well, let's not go there. So that came out yesterday. Lewinsky came out a couple of days ago and said Bill Clinton should have resigned, which I think most people think, okay, I want to keep this shot, but I want to go to Oscar Blue Ramirez. Oscar, if you were in the Oval today, what question would you ask President Trump? Would you put to President Trump about what you've seen overnight with the cartels, the 29 being extradited here to the United States in the future? Kinetic war that's coming against the terrorist organizations, the Mexican drug cartel, sir?
Oscar Blue Ramirez
Well, I think the number one question that I will ask is why in Mayo Zambada it is not one of the first people that should be investigating, it should be asked about the bank accounts of these dirty politicians in Mexico. Can we have the possibility of asking him and investigating him? This Mayo Zambada is the campaign. This is the guy that has Claudio Schambaun extremely nervous right now. Is the guy that knows the whereabouts, is the guy that knows which political campaign has been funded. If the past president of Mexico. This goes way deeper, Steve. If the past president of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, his political campaign, they're speculating, then Mayo Zambada was the number one that it was, you know, the number one funder, the number one that it was funding this political campaign. I think that the most important question that goes extremely deep to this is to find the root of the problem of all these dirty politicians and to go directly to El Mayo Zamba, that is the campaign or drug lords that basically controls and has the level of violence in Coolaca, the level of violence in the central parts of Mexico, the extreme level of violence and insecurities, and the cartel attacks that are occurring right now in Tijuana. Just this past week, Steve, two human heads that were found and one in a really transit boulevard, the other one was found in the east side of Tijuana. So violence is escalating. I think that one of the questions will be that, Steve, directly to know why the bank accounts and all these dirty politicians have not been investigated by this, you know, this particular campaign.
