Stephen K. Bannon
All undocumented immigrants voters favoring the government trying to deport all 11 million of them. Back in 2016, just 38% of voters wanted the government to try to deport all 11 million undocumented immigrants compared to where we are in 2025, 56% the majority. The American people have come a long way on this issue, much closer to Donald Trump. And I think that's a big part of the reason why Americans are increasingly saying the country is on the right track when it comes to immigration policy and why Donald Trump's net approval rating on issue is in the positive. 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. 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 you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. 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. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War ROOM here's your host, Stephen k.
Todd Bensman

Stephen K. Bannon
Thursday the 17th of April you hear we played that now three times. And the reason is people need to hear that the American people not only want that, they want action. That's why the Atlantic as they all because they're the railhead now of kind of thought on the left, they're getting ahead of this because they see what they see, how these are going to converge. You got the 1 6, a final deportation. They got no excuse. They got to go. Of course ICE has been dismantled so you're going to have to start over again there. Then you've got the 2 million that'll just burn off as their paroles come off the phony paroles. So that's three and a half million. Your best estimate, as you see in the standing up process with the logistics chain, but also the personnel. And I don't think Homan and these guys are being aggressive enough and using local jails. But local sheriffs, you know, we talk to the constitutional sheriffs all the time. They want to be engaged here. Todd Benson, how long do you think it would be? You got 1.6 final deportation orders. You have 2 million on phony paroles. So that's 3.6, three and a half million. Let's Say folks that are here that have to go, how long would it take you? You got 10 million, but you got to start somewhere, right? So how long is it going to take you given where we are today? And let's say this bill gets passed by September, you start getting real money. Given the money starts pouring in in September, how long does it take you to stand up the operation you need to start and get the 3.5 million? And when does the last of the 3.5 million foot leave the US soil, sir?
Tom Homan
Yeah, I mean, it might take a couple of years. You're going to need. You know, I'm thinking year two is going to be a big year. Year three is going to be a bigger year than year two. Just, you know, these are just the facts. I mean, I'm not making excuses, but remember that the way that illegal immigration works is it's like one of those razor wire, razor tire stops at the rental car agency. It's one way in. The gate lifts, you go in real easy. And the engineers and architects understood that you can't back out without shredding the tires. There's legal issues. People are hiding. People are helping them hide. It's not as easy to get them out as it is to get them in. The engineers of this whole Biden crisis understood that when they did it, that was the reason they did it, that it would be very difficult to get people out. But this president and Tom Homan and all of those agency heads that I'm seeing them put in, you can't get a better selection of draftees for that particular job. I don't think anybody should ever consider the possibility that their hearts aren't into it. Those guys, their hearts are in this thing. They just got to get over the razor barrier behind them to back everybody out. But the 287G, you mentioned that that's hugely important. The massive numbers that are needed can't be done without local law enforcement. They've got to be certified and they've got to be on board. You've got to have sheriffs, police departments, constables, anybody with a badge and a gun. The law allows us to deputize them federally. That's how you're going to get the people in the planes flying out. And that is going to be a huge push coming right up. They're already pushing for this right now. Florida passed a state law really, I think setting the model for this. Texas is debating it right now. Lots of the red states all have no excuse for not requiring this of all police departments, and there's going to be money to fund that. And then for the rest of those blue districts and blue states and sanctuary places, that's going to take some creativity and innovation. And you're going to have to find, pick and choose your partners in those areas there. But the point is that's coming. You're going to have to have state and local police deeply involved in this whole endeavor.
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay? But also what you're going to have. Todd, so, so on the 17th of April in the year of our Lord 2025, where President Trump is commander in chief in a military is exporting, is deporting the worst of the worst. Both the Venezuela who reluctantly took them back are starting to take them back into El Salvador. Of the guys won't be taken back. Okay? The firestorm in the left and now we have, they're deporting them from campuses. You got, you got this woman from Tufts, you got other people. But the mainstream media, if you look at, if you look at MSNBC, MSNBC, CNN, they're spending 50 to 70% of their broadcasting time talking about this are the universities, which is kind of inextricably linked with the Muslim Brotherhood protesters. And that is a handful of the worst folks ever. President Trump allowed an angel mom to come into the White House to give her eyewitness account of her daughter's torture, rape and murder at the hands of one of these savages. And yet the senator is flying down there, is having a press conference outside. What is, how do we prepare? What is going to happen when you start removing 3.6 million? Right? Many of these, they all broke the law coming here, but most of these are not in that kind of violent, criminal category. But how is that, Tell me, walk me through how that's going to happen when I have a firestorm. And even people on the conservative, you know, some of the Republicans up there are getting a little jiggy about pressing on with this.
Tom Homan
Sir, couple thoughts about that. First of all, knowing the men and women that they have picked for these jobs in the top slots at dhs, I think that, and this president, I think that the coming firestorm of media coverage, you ain't seen nothing yet. You're going to see crying, weeping women and children being dragged off and all that, I think that this administration is going to push through as though none of it's happening at all. They're just going to push through. And I think that the Democrats and the progressive left in this country are going to try to create out of that a seminal campaign issue for the 2020 for the midterms and the 2028 election beyond, that's what this is all about, in my opinion. But I don't think it's going to stop anything in the Trump administration. I think that they're going to want to hear support. They're going to need to have support if they want to keep pushing through this. Remember, the polls that you saw there on CNN aren't showing the whole story for the criminal aliens. The support is 80 plus percent, pushing up to 90% nationwide. It doesn't matter which side of the aisle you're on. But the gardeners and the hotel workers and the people that haven't been in legal trouble at all, that number falls into the 50 percentile. So the partisan media, the corporate partisan media, the whole game here is to erode that 50% into the 40s and even the high 30s so that they can just, just.
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, but hang on, just do the timing. Here's what the timing is going to be. I, we passed the bill, we get more money. We start standing up, Sheriffs are standing up, ice, we start standing up all of it, and build the logistics chains, the camps, everything. Boom. We're doing that from the summer 2025, right? We then go, you stand it up more and we start the 1.6 million final deportation orders and then the other 2 million of, as they burn off on the, on the phony, on the, on the phony permission we gave them to be here. Right? That's all coming essentially in a year called 2026. And what happens in November that year, 2026, the midterm elections. And what you're going to have, if you think the intensity, this is what I just want the audience to understand, because we're prepping the battlefield here, folks. The media attention on the savages that President Trump is commander in chief sent out of here in the court cases. And now you've got a judge in Washington, D.C. who's out of control, who has found President Trump, or, excuse me, his advisors may be guilty of criminal contempt. And him coming in the middle of a decision as commander in chief, and I might add, folks, take your number two personal write down Bannon went to prison for criminal contempt. That's what the judge did yesterday. They're coming. They're coming as hard as you've ever seen anything come in your life. So if you want to deport the 10 million illegal aliens in this country that have to go, or you don't have a country and you're not gonna have a concept of a country, your sovereignty, your territorial integrity, anything about that. And we know that working class Hispanics and working class blacks and working class whites want this more than anything. If you don't do that and we're going to hit a firestorm, folks. I said this back in Pinehurst, North Carolina, in a speech I gave at the North Carolina Country Club two years ago. The convergence of budget cuts for social programs and the conversions of the deportations, when it would happen in 25, and it looks like it's going to happen now in late 25 or early 26, is something people ain't prepared for. They're going to have the cameras everywhere. You're going to have to, you're going to have to have a spine of steel. And besides Trump, show me these guys up on Capitol Hill has got a spine of steel. I got Tom Holman, I got Donald Trump, I got Bensman, I got Krissy Noem. I got a handful. I don't how many. I'm, I got no more. Tom, 10 credos who I saw back in Colorado was out there. So Bensman, walk me through. You see what's coming. And this is going to be, this is either going to have a country or not going to have a country. Bottom line, they all got to go. You got to do it humanely. You have to do it with respect and dignity. But they got to go. So, Benjamin, we got two minutes here. Make me feel better of the coming firestorm, because this is going to be something this country's never seen before, sir.
Tom Homan
Yeah, you put that exactly right. There's got to be steel in the backbone. If the Trump administration wants to continue this through those midterm campaign election, you know, in all the swing states, et cetera, it's going to take steel. I think that the American people have enough understanding of this by now from seeing this in their own communities. All the crime, all of the wasted resources to support illegal immigrants. That those numbers in the 50 percentile, I'm thinking that they'll hold. But I think it's going to take pushback from.
Stephen K. Bannon
It's going to take a massive no, because they're going to say, hey, the criminals are gone. These are the ones. And they're going to start coming out on the economy saying 1% of the 2 of the anemic growth we have of 2, 2 1/2%. Their economists are going to come and say 1%'s tied to the, to the illegal aliens that came here as consumers. Inflation's down because they drove wages. You just Wait, they're going to come at us. This is going to be one of the defining moments of this republic. And this is why I say in these speeches, this is we're in more jeopardy to lose this country than the revolution, the Civil War or the Great depression, World War II. It's right here, here and now. And this is the convergence of getting the budget under control and the cuts that have to be made coupled with you got to deport 10 million illegal aliens. Anyway. Benjamin, amazing. I want to get you back on here in the next couple days, break this Atlantic story down because it's great reporting by the Atlantic. You ain't going to like what you see, folks, but it's good reporting. Benjamin, social media, where do people go for you? Sure.
Tom Homan
And you know, one last thing I'll say is don't forget that at least the hemorrhaging from the border is over. It's not getting worse.
Stephen K. Bannon
Yes.
Tom Homan
Like not having to keep up a treadmill that you can never get ahead.
Stephen K. Bannon
Of because they lied. They said it. The Lankford said it would take us years. You had to pass this fricking bill and Donald Trump did in 60 days by just taking Todd Bensman's recommendations. 100. What's your social media? I gotta bounce. You're great. Yeah.
Tom Homan
I'm Bensmond. Todd on X. I've got an account at Getter and Truth Social. I work for the center for Immigration Studies. They've sent me all over the place covering that border crisis.

Who's got a very busy schedule and agenda. George, we had you on at cpac, right? Live. George Simeon, you are the candidate. You're the leading candidate now in this controversial presidential race in Romania. Why are we having an election in May? I thought you guys had an election. I thought you had an election a little while ago and you had a guy that won, who happens to be not George Simeon, who's not running now.
Todd Bensman
Not George, but Georgescu. Yes, he won fair and square. He was the sovereignist candidate, independent candidate that won. They simply didn't like his face.
Stephen K. Bannon
Who's they?
Todd Bensman
The deep state in Romania with the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels.
Stephen K. Bannon
You're saying the EU guys didn't like him?
Todd Bensman
Macron made public statements along with your Anthony Blinken. Very glad that you got rid of Blinken. And they had an ongoing coup d'etat in Romania.
Stephen K. Bannon
It was a coup d'etat. Like it's going on in Korea right now. Like they're doing Bolsonaro. They don't like, take them out.
Todd Bensman
I met Eduardo Bolsonaro. I met the former president of South Korea. And yes, they hit so bad, the public will. They humiliated us and they fought against free and fair elections. And now I'm the replacement for Mr. Georgescu and I'm fighting to get democracy back.
Stephen K. Bannon
And when you say deep state of Romania, we understand what Brussels is. We understand what Blinken and the CIA here, when you say deep state of Romania, you would think they would be aligned with the Russians in the hit on you and the other nationalists and ultranationalist candidates. And you guys are just puppets for Putin and the kgb. You would think that the deep state in Romania would be aligned with Russia. It's not.
Todd Bensman
No, definitely it's not. The former Securitate we had, it was terrible. Under Ceausescu, period, Romanians went.
Stephen K. Bannon
Although I do admire his wife, when they stood her up against the wall. I said this yesterday. We stood her up against the wall. She told him what she thought about him, right? She went down.
Todd Bensman
The only thing that she's a tough broad. They killed the former President Ceausescu, but they remained in power, the deep state, the former Securitate.
Stephen K. Bannon
I mean, after they assassinated them. The Russians, you're saying, the Communists, the bas, the same.
Todd Bensman
Only now they say they are pro European and they are capitalists, and they are.
Stephen K. Bannon
I want people to understand that. So the. The. The deep state that was there with. In the. The husband and wife were like the two worst in all of Eastern Europe, right? They tortured the. The Romanian people, stole everything. I mean, they. It was horrible. The fact, you guys.
Todd Bensman
The deep state, that you gave them.
Stephen K. Bannon
A 70 to 48 hours trial and stood them against the wall and shot him, right?
Todd Bensman
But actually, it was in Romania, nobody believes what they see on television, on TV channels, on mainstream media, even more than here in America and in the free world. Because at the Romanian revolution, the deep state lied to us through the national television channel. They said, we have terrorists on the streets, and they gave guns to Romanian citizens. And Romanian citizens started shooting themselves. It was the biggest manipulation you could ever see. So now it's natural when you see something in Romanian television, that our citizens think otherwise. This is why when they smear us and they call us pro Russian, fascist, and the same smearing as President Trump suffered here, nobody believes them. Okay, so you are hitting this guy on your TV channels that are supporting the globalists in Brussels. Okay, so we like this guy. This happened with Mr. Georgescu. And if we will have in the.
Stephen K. Bannon
Fourth, why did the Romanian people accept the EU and NATO and others saying the election was no good and thrown out? Why they just say no? Or have this guy run again instead of you?
Todd Bensman
What could you do?
Stephen K. Bannon
Not that you're not a great candidate, but why don't they stand up and just say, hey, screw you, we're gonna. That election was fair.
Todd Bensman
Hundreds of thousands of people on the street to defend the. Mr. Georgescu. I was the main organizer of those marches. The system and the deep state wanted violence in order to justify the coup d'etat. So they banned him without a judge, saying he is not allowed to run without a fair trial. Like in Iran, where the ayatollahs say, you are eligible to run. You are not. This is not a democracy. And we exposed the system through our leader, through Mr. Georgescu, plain and simple. When you don't have free elections, it's against human nature, against the Will of the people. So now we switched roles. I am the candidate of the sovereignist movement. There's no other candidate. We thought they could also ban me. So we had a third candidate running. We were accepted by the Constitutional Court, by the Electoral Bureau, both. And the other candidate, the president of Young People's Party, withdrew from the race and is supporting me like Mr. Giorgescu does. So now we want to see the free world taking a stand to support democracy in Romania and assure free and fair elections. The rest, the Romanian citizens will do through their vote on the 4th of May.
Stephen K. Bannon
So how can that. First off, what are the policies? You're a sovereigntist. We would call that a nationalist here, a populist nationalist. What are the specific policies that they find? So the other, you know, Macron and this crowd in Brussels and Strasbourg, what is it about what you guys stand for that so repulses them?
Todd Bensman
Well, Romania must preserve its sovereignty and Christian identity amid these guys EU federalists that are putting pressure and are breaking the rule of law. We have all these EU commissars, like the Soviet commissars that came to Romania and were teaching us about the rule of law. Us, the Hungarians, the Polish, because it's not about Romania, it's about the free world. And we in Eastern Europe, we remained socially conservative. We remained with our principles, praying to God, our churches. Now it's Easter.
Stephen K. Bannon
Unlike the countries in Western Europe that all cratered once secular and loud mass. You would not allow mass migration into Romania.
Todd Bensman
Of course. We are for borders. We are for identity. We are for Judeo, Christianity, fate. We are for a Europe of nations, not for a super federal state. This drove.
Stephen K. Bannon
Not for a United States of Europe. You want independent. These in Hungary's independent. You're independent. Your nation's working together. We are some sort of economic compact, but not. Not a United States. You're not like. You're not like North Carolina or is to Texas. Right. You're an independent nation.
Todd Bensman
Yes, of course.
Stephen K. Bannon
We say military. We've got a Brigade of the 101st Airborne deployed to Romania. Correct.
Todd Bensman
And want this brigade to remain in Romania as part of NATO as a defensive alliance. We need American support because you must keep the free world as it is said free. It's the role of Donald Trump. Romania is now awakening. We stand for borders, for identity and for common sense. And they are fearing Macron, Ursula von der Leyen. They are feeling that. Fearing that they will lose power. This is why they didn't speak out, but encouraged the puppet government in Bucharest to annul the elections.
Stephen K. Bannon
Oh, they were in back of it, weren't they? I mean, along with the deep state. I mean, the eu.
George Simeon
The eu.
Stephen K. Bannon
They were at the forefront of doing this, were they not?
Todd Bensman
Emmanuel Macron sent the French ambassador to meet with the president of the Constitutional Court. And in Romania, the Constitutional Court is not made up of judges, but of political appointed, assigned people. So this is highly undiplomatical for a foreign ambassador, because it's not like we are a colony and Emmanuel Macron is our emperor. A foreign ambassador to meet with the judicial system. They are doing this in Poland against law and justice. And Kaczynski and Morawiecki. Now, while we are speaking, Giorgia Meloni, our ally and our leader at European Conservatives and Reformists, is meeting Donald Trump to discuss about tariffs today at noon.
George Simeon
Yep.
Todd Bensman
Yes.
Stephen K. Bannon
And although she came down on the other side on the tariffs with the eu.
Todd Bensman
No, Giorgia Meloni will fight for Italy first because we are a sovereign movement. And Giorgia Meloni is an example of being an ally of Donald Trump.
Stephen K. Bannon
She's not too much of an ally. She's the biggest supporter of the Ukraine war. We totally disagree with that. And we were there at the beginning to help support Meloni when she was at 3% in Italy. I don't find her any ally at all. The populist nationalist movement here, we're very disappointed. She's one of the biggest. She's one of the biggest proponents of the Ukraine war. And quite frankly, she may put Italy first, but she's. She had her vote and had her say so when the EU came back last week and tried to be cute with us on their. On their tariffs. So I just totally disagree with that.
Todd Bensman
We are at the border with Russia. We, Poland, the Baltic states, we feel a threat. This is why we need peace. This is why we are advocating for de. Escalation of the war. Nobody needs war except the industrial military complex. Us, Romania and Poland through the presidential elections we have in the same date, actually, in Bucharest, in Varshava, are the potential ally in central Eastern Europe against overreach by Brussels and Berlin right now.
Stephen K. Bannon
Can you. Can we keep. Can we keep you for another few minutes?
Todd Bensman
Yeah, of course. The kind doctor doesn't.
Stephen K. Bannon
We've got Dr. Malone in the house. Are you. They gave you travel money today from Langley. Just kidding. We're gonna take a short break. We got one of the bravest men in the world that's fighting the EU and fighting for his country, the sovereignties movement in Romania. Huge election coming up.

We see what happens to Trump. We're very sensitive about stolen elections here.
Todd Bensman
They will do everything. Like you saw. They are willing to eliminate us physically, the big data.
Stephen K. Bannon
What do you mean eliminate you physically? You mean assassination?
Todd Bensman
I mean they would do anything like they did with President Trump, with Robert Fico of Slovakia. You saw he was shot. Mr. Georgescu was taken out of his car from traffic and arrested and taken to the prosecutor's office without any reason. So this is why we are here in your show and we are meeting all of the population.
Stephen K. Bannon
You're going to go over to CPI. You got Dr. Malone, who's revered over here. You've got who's going to interview at cpi, which is one of the centerpieces of our movement here in DC. You've got Jack Posobic at 2:00. CPAC with CPAC and interview CPAC with Matt Schlapp and Mercedes. You're also going to do Hudson Institute. Hudson Institute, Quincy Institute. Wow.
Todd Bensman
We have been there. We are seeing all of our friends because they are not scared of us in Romania. They are scared of winning the elections in Romania and Poland. They are scared of about the idea of a transatlantic populist alliance against globalist.
Stephen K. Bannon
Talk about that for a second for our American audience. How dug in are the globalists in Europe? And they don't want to see you see what's happening to alternative for Deutschland in Germany. You're seeing which Le Pen is going to prison.
Todd Bensman
Now with Nigel Farage.
Stephen K. Bannon
Nigel Farage, you see it all. You're a colleague of all the people we're colleagues with.
Todd Bensman
What is the pressure against created a mega movement, make Europe great again. And we have friends in all 27 countries of the European Union in order to win country by country against the globalist. And we will do so because the public opinion is with us.
Stephen K. Bannon
Why is that? Why is it public with you when. When the others have all the power and all the money?
Todd Bensman
Because people are not stupid. In the end, people are seeing what's happening and they want common sense. They don't want their children to be mutilated by gender change at young ages. They want to prosper. They want prosperity. They want money for their homes, not green Deal stuff and being lied to about the cows.
Stephen K. Bannon
The worst aspects that we see of the woke neo Marxist culture here from the universities pressed through the government, the transgender ideology, the worshiping of LGBTQ as something to be worshiped, the green New Deal, all of those policies that we've revolted against here. And President Trump is fighting the administrative deep state. You're saying they're all in Romania.
Todd Bensman
They were promoted by Soros agents, by the so called open society. And they were promoted through the money of the taxpayers in the us through US aid money. Like we saw, we are fighting for the truth. We are fighting for human dignity by asking fair and free elections. And we will win. I know Marion Marechal, Marie Le Pen, Santiago Abascal, Nigel Farage and all the powerful populist nationalist leaders across Europe. And I am sure that we will win. Romania will be first. After will come Poland with the presidential elections and we will have a series of victories if we will have fair and free elections. This is our goal. Me as president of Romania will reinstate Colleen Georges school because he's the most voted Romanian and this.
Stephen K. Bannon
What do you mean reinstate we also.
Todd Bensman
Have the position of prime minister, which is very important. You. You could see in Italy, for example, how important Giorgia Meloni's role is. And we are fighting shoulder by shoulder with Matteo Salvini, with Robert Fitzo, with other populist nationalist leaders across Europe. We need your help. This is why I asked you to text Alex Jones, because we wanted to infowars. We need to spread the word and we need you to talk about the 4 May elections, presidential elections.
Stephen K. Bannon
I want to go back because we're pressed for time here. I know you got to go. You've mentioned now free and Fair elections on 4May. Is it a concern since you had what you would say and your followers say a free and fair election months ago.
Todd Bensman
Yes.
Stephen K. Bannon
And a guy won by not one big.
Todd Bensman
Yeah.
Stephen K. Bannon
And the deep state of Romania. The courts were the same thing after Le Pen, Bolsonaro and Trump. They found Trump, you know, the Trump team probably guilty of criminal contempt or heading towards criminal contempt of which I went to prison over. Are you concerned, given the fact that they reversed a free and fair election a couple of months ago, that you. Are you thinking they're still going to try to screw with this election in.
Todd Bensman
100%, Steve. 100%. If the US administration doesn't get involved and leave the globalist ambassadors do what they want. Like in the first term of President Trump, they will do.
Stephen K. Bannon
We have an ambassador problem in Romania right now. You can be frank.
Todd Bensman
Madame Kavalets, of course she tried to stop the meeting of Anna Luna and the republican congressmen that were present in Bucharest with me as the leader of the opposition. But I'm winning this fight 100%. The Romanian citizens are behind Mr. Georges square behind me are behind our sovereignist movement. And all we need is the US Administration to guarantee fair and free elections and not let Macron and other globalists do as they please.
Stephen K. Bannon
Are the EU There now is Macron and these agents in Brussels.
Todd Bensman
The French ambassador is like the emperor of Romania. He's meeting whoever he wants. He gives orders. Who will be in the second round against me? He wants the mayor of Bucharest to compete. Lgbt pro, pro federalist guy to be in the second round with. With me. He's not a leader. He's a puppet for the globalists. I will beat any time, at any hour, any puppet.
Stephen K. Bannon
How is the election structured now so that you can. You feel comfortable? You don't feel comfortable. Free and fair. But what safeguards have you put in assuming that the United States. It may be difficult for us to come in and guarantee, brother, we're having a hard enough time guaranteeing free and fair elections in the United States of America.
Todd Bensman
The leader of the free world is Donald Trump.
Stephen K. Bannon
You're saying nothing. Trump can do everything.
Todd Bensman
No, but Trump won and you know it. So you must stand behind Trump here and we will stand behind Trump in Europe to win the Romanian and the Polish elections. And.
Stephen K. Bannon
But what needs to be done between now and the 4th of May to make sure it's free and fair election? Hell, they just overturned a free and fair election with a guy on the world stage who won and didn't win in small. So what action do you need done between now and four May?
Todd Bensman
Spread the word. Talk. All of you are well known in Romania. Steve Bannon, Jack Posobiec, Dr. Malone, who invented MRNA vaccine.
Stephen K. Bannon
Big.
Todd Bensman
Yeah. Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, you are public figures in Romania and you must speak out, because it's not about Romania. It's about bigger, bigger movement in Romania, Hungary, Poland. It's about the free world. And America should remain on top of the free world and should keep the free world free.
Stephen K. Bannon
How bad was the Biden regime towards the sovereignty movement in Romania? And the people in Romania, how were they.
Todd Bensman
They banned us on social network and you know it. On Meta, on Facebook, Instagram. They gave orders. Our accounts were restricted. The US Embassy, instead of the US Flag, had the LGBT flag.
Stephen K. Bannon
They were outside the embassy itself. Instead of the American flag. They would put the LGBTQ flag up all across Europe. How does that set with people in Romania?
Todd Bensman
People in Romania are socially conservative and people in Romania are nationalists and they love their country. And people in Romania, just now, after Mr. Trump won, regained respect towards the American people and towards common sense. We are a popular movement and our movement is from the grassroots. And this is. We are present in every neighborhood, in every village in Romania. This is how I know we will win this fight. But we cannot do it alone because we are fighting eu, un, IMF and all the globalist institutions.
Stephen K. Bannon
So we will push. We'll become force multipliers. If you win, let's say. Let's say the election secured or it's too big to rig that your turnout is so big. What happens on the evening of 4May? What are the first things that you do?
Todd Bensman
We will put Mr. Georges go in front of the country and in front of the. To lead the government. We will stop military aid to Ukraine. We will stop listening to orders from Brussels.
Stephen K. Bannon
So in other words, you're throwing down pretty hard. Brussels. Brussels has to stop you if they don't stop you, then it's. It's. It's another big chunk out of their power.
Todd Bensman
I don't have any master.
Stephen K. Bannon
Do you fear Brussels?
Todd Bensman
I don't fear. I only fear God. I don't have any other master than our Christian God. I see behind you you have Christian Orthodox icons. And this is important for me. It's a sign of respect. We don't need masters. We don't need empires. We need the partners and allies. This is why I am today here, present in Washington.
Stephen K. Bannon
It's amazing. You're getting. You're seeing. I tell you what's incredible about Dr. Malone and your other people put together. I have never seen anybody come over, particularly in Holy Week when it's jammed and the house is not here. You are seeing the respect that our movement maga has for you personally and for everybody you're associated with in the people of Romania. Is. The reception you're getting is incredible. You're with over at cpi, you're at Pasovic, you're at cpac. You're gonna go see Tucker. We'll figure out something with Alex Jones. But in the war room, I can already tell you in the audience, people love what they're hearing. So anything that we can do at all to support you. We got about a minute.
Todd Bensman
You are the persons that got elected again, Mr. Trump? Yes. You are the person behind this MAGA wave.
Stephen K. Bannon
We have a lot of.
Todd Bensman
We need your energy, we need your experience. Help us out just to have free and fair elections, spread the world. Many Romanians living here in America, they can vote.
Stephen K. Bannon
They can vote.
Todd Bensman
Three days from the 2nd to the 4th of May across the United States from Los Angeles to Hollywood in Florida, they will fill up the churches in Easter. We are Christians. We love God. We love our nation, we love our allies, and we want to keep the free world free. So stand behind us and we will stand behind every sovereignist movement across Europe and behind the MAGA movement and eventually.
Stephen K. Bannon
Make Europe great again. Yes, Mega movement.
Todd Bensman
Let's make Europe great again.
Stephen K. Bannon
You're a hero, a patriot and a hero.
Todd Bensman
Thank you.
Stephen K. Bannon
Look forward to working with you. So glad to see you at cpac, George. Be safe. Number one. Be safe when you lie when you just told me what you're going to do on the evening of May 4th. Hey. What I love about it's the same thing, it's the same attitude of President Trump. Get in there and just let's get on with it, right? No, no need to play. Play, play nice. Just do it.
Todd Bensman
Fight, fight.

Stephen K. Bannon
Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. We're gonna get all the social media and we'll put it up and make sure Grace Everett gets it out and make sure that people can follow this. A really good interview, guys. A big fight in Romania and right. The globalists out of Brussels. You see what they're doing everywhere and they're really trying to crush the sovereignties movement there. Chris. Sorry, I've actually. Come on, Chris. There's so many outages have been happening. We know from Chris Wray, even Chris Wray admitted the Chinese Communist Party is deep into the infrastructure of the United States. We know that we're now engaged finally in the economic war that the CCP brought to us and has been engaged with. We're fighting on every front. There's something about these outages I'm not buying. I'm not buying that the United States is having all of a sudden these random outages. Yesterday, I think Zoom was down, Twitter was down. All of this, what's going on? And I asked you to come up with a solution for our audience. What do you think's going on and what's the solution, brother?
Chris Hoare
Well, Steve, I mean, the weakest point in the easiest and most cost effective way to attack the United States is through our infrastructure. The Chinese, amongst others have been working on this for years. They have thousands of people dedicated to doing just that. And it seems very clear that they pre position malware in our communications networks as well in anticipation of an attack on the U.S. should they come to that. So the one way that we can get around this, Steve, is by making sure we all have independent communications that don't rely on these ground based infrastructures of the cell phone networks and the other communications companies. And the Iridium satellite phone network and the Inmarsat satellite phone network are exactly that. These satellite phones do not rely on any kind of ground based infrastructure whatsoever. They use the satellites in the sky directly to communicate with their phones. And this is why, Steve, the US Military has used these phones for Tenzard for decades because they are independent wherever the US is fighting around the world. They're using Iridium communications networks in their war operations and also for the troops, the brave men and women to communicate with their families back home. And Steve, whilst a lot of people and companies are taking advantage of various market situations and raising prices, sat123.com, we're keeping our prices exactly where they have been for years. We're still offering the free satellite phone with activation@sat123.com and we're also offering free bulletproof backpack or free bulletproof laptop case with that free sat phone. And see, this cost you just 95 bucks a month. You're getting 100 to 150 minutes a month and those minutes can even be rolled over if you need to, if you don't use them. But Steve, these handsets are absolutely essential for everyone to make sure that they're prepared. Because for me, it's not if, but when the Chinese and others do try and take out our infrastructure completely and our communications networks, we need to make sure that we have a response to that and we are ready, not just as a country, but on an individual basis so that we can continue to communicate with our family members, our friends, our loved ones and of course keep our businesses. Right.
Stephen K. Bannon
You think as I do, you think as I do reason we have Gaffney, all these people on for years and we do the Jason, all that, that they're, they're coming, they're going to try to take down our infrastructure at some point. You agree with that?
Chris Hoare
100%. I mean look, they, they're not spending millions of dollars every year, you know, attacking us for fun, right? It is in preparation for what you Know, seems inevitable that they will, will attack us in some way. And again, the easiest way to do that is by blacking out our infrastructure by attacking our utilities. And Steve, sat123.com, we work with a lot of the utility companies who've been reporting these kind of attacks for years. They've been reporting drone strike, drone sightings around power relay stations. You know, this is all preparation as far as we concerned, as far as I'm concerned. And so, you know, the increasing number of attacks, attacks on our infrastructure, on our Internet, on our websites, you know, we all see it every single day. And if you don't see it, it's just because you're not paying attention, right? Malware attacks, ransomware attacks are ongoing against not just businesses, but government institutions and infrastructure as well.
Stephen K. Bannon
Steve, where do people go right now? Because you never these things. Are you doing unlimited runs? We talk to you. We actually do it during Lima runs. They all blow out immediately. Where do people go right now to walk through with you guys exactly what the special is.
Chris Hoare
They go to sat123.com that's sat123.com or call us anytime at 941-841-0844. That's 941-841-0840. You're still going to get a free satellite phone with activation and a free bulletproof backpack or bulletproof laptop case. Both of those bags and cases are Faraday bags as well, Steve, to keep help keep you and your data safe. But, you know, the business has been picking up tremendously this year. As you know, trouble unwinds around the world, so I don't know how much longer we can keep this up.
Stephen K. Bannon
Thank you, brother Chris. Hoare.

Thanks, Steve.

Trevor Comstock
Hey war room. Hope you're all doing well. My name is Trevor Comstock. I'm one of the co creators of Sacred Human. I wanted to share just a little bit more about our brand. For those who may not know of us yet, but about six months ago we decided to launch Sacred Human with really the simple mission being to provide American made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense. So unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health. So that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements and of course the beef liver being our flagship products. For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc CoQ10, etc. And because it is 100% grass fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking out of the other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general. So we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com and cheers to your health.
Summary of Bannon's War Room - Episode 4420: Increase Funding For Deportations; Updates From The Election Trail In Romania
Release Date: April 17, 2025
In Episode 4420 of Bannon's War Room, host Stephen K. Bannon tackles two significant topics: the urgent call to increase funding for deportations of undocumented immigrants in the United States and updates on the election trail in Romania. Joined by experts Tom Homan, Todd Bensman, and special guest George Simeon from Romania, the episode delves deep into immigration policy, international political dynamics, and national security concerns.
Public Opinion Shift
Bannon opens the discussion by highlighting a dramatic shift in American public opinion regarding deportations:
Statistics Update: "Back in 2016, just 38% of voters wanted the government to try to deport all 11 million undocumented immigrants compared to where we are in 2025, 56% the majority." [00:00]
Influence of Donald Trump: Bannon asserts that the alignment with former President Trump has played a crucial role in swaying public opinion: "The American people have come a long way on this issue, much closer to Donald Trump." [00:00]
Discussion with Tom Homan and Todd Bensman
Bannon engages with Tom Homan and Todd Bensman to explore the logistics and feasibility of scaling up deportation efforts:
Timeframe for Deportations: Bensman inquires about the operational timeline: "Todd Bensman, how long do you think it would take you to stand up the operation you need to start and get the 3.5 million?" [02:30]
Legal and Logistical Challenges: Homan compares illegal immigration to a "razor wire" barrier, emphasizing the complexity of reversing migration flows: "You can't back out without shredding the tires." [03:00]
Role of Local Law Enforcement: The conversation shifts to the importance of local sheriffs and police departments in the deportation process: "The law allows us to deputize them federally. That's how you're going to get the people in the planes flying out." [05:42]
Implementation Timeline
Bannon outlines a strategic timeline for implementing the increased deportation funding:
Bill Passage and Funding: "We passed the bill, we get more money. We start standing up, Sheriffs are standing up, ICE, we start standing up all of it, and build the logistics chains, the camps, everything." [09:07]
Projected Deportation Phase: Starting in 2026, the administration aims to deport approximately 3.5 million undocumented immigrants, aligning this effort with the upcoming midterm elections to bolster political support: "And what needs to be done between now and the 4th of May to make sure it's free and fair election..." [37:30]
Media Firestorm and Political Opposition
Addressing potential backlash, Tom Homan provides reassurance:
Public Support: "The support is 80 plus percent, pushing up to 90% nationwide. It doesn't matter which side of the aisle you're on." [09:07]
Handling Media Opposition: Homan anticipates aggressive media campaigns against the deportation efforts but remains confident in the administration's resolve: "They are going to want to hear support. They're going to need to have support if they want to keep pushing through this." [09:07]
Introduction of George Simeon
The episode transitions to international politics with George Simeon, a leading candidate in Romania's presidential race. He discusses the alleged interference by the EU and internal political struggles:
Allegations of Coup d'État: Simeon claims that the EU, represented by figures like Emmanuel Macron and Anthony Blinken, orchestrated a coup to undermine sovereignty: "They had an ongoing coup d'etat in Romania." [16:58]
Political Repression: Highlighting past suppression, Simeon mentions the persecution of opposition figures: "They found President Trump, or his advisors, guilty of criminal contempt." [07:18]
Policy Stances and Sovereignty
Simeon emphasizes Romania's commitment to national sovereignty, Christian identity, and opposition to EU federalism:
National Identity: "Romania must preserve its sovereignty and Christian identity amid these guys EU federalists that are putting pressure and they're breaking the rule of law." [22:47]
Opposition to Federalism: Advocating for a Europe of independent nations rather than a super federal state: "We are for borders. We are for identity. We are for Judeo-Christianity." [22:47]
Election Concerns and Call for US Support
Simeon expresses deep concerns about the integrity of upcoming elections in Romania:
Election Integrity: "Hundreds of thousands of people on the street to defend Mr. Georgescu. The system and the deep state wanted violence to justify the coup." [20:27]
US Support Needed: He urges the US, particularly the Trump administration, to support Romania in ensuring free and fair elections: "We cannot do it alone because we are fighting EU, UN, IMF, and all the globalist institutions." [38:35]
Alliances with European Nationalists
Simeon highlights alliances with other European nationalist leaders, positioning Romania as a frontline state against globalist overreach:
European Alliances: "We are fighting shoulder by shoulder with Matteo Salvini, with Robert Fitzo, with other populist nationalist leaders across Europe." [33:43]
Common Goals: "It's not about Romania, it's about the free world." [22:47]
Discussion with Chris Hoare
Addressing national security, Chris Hoare discusses the vulnerabilities of US infrastructure to cyber attacks, particularly from the Chinese Communist Party:
Infrastructure Attacks: "The weakest point... is through our infrastructure. The Chinese have thousands of people dedicated to attacking our infrastructure." [44:46]
Independent Communications: Hoare recommends satellite phones as a resilient communication method: "These satellite phones do not rely on any kind of ground-based infrastructure whatsoever." [44:46]
Sabotage Prevention: Emphasizing the need for preparedness against inevitable attacks: "It's not if, but when the Chinese and others do try and take out our infrastructure." [47:58]
Solutions Proposed
Satellite Communication: Advocates for the adoption of independent communication systems like Iridium and Inmarsat satellite phones to maintain connectivity during infrastructure outages: "These satellites in the sky directly communicate with their phones." [44:46]
Consumer Action: Encourages listeners to secure their communications: "Make sure you have independent communications that don't rely on these ground-based infrastructures." [44:46]
