Loading summary
Donald Trump
Incredible land of ours, free and the home of the brave. And that's what it was. Through the decades that followed, the army conquered the great frontier, won the war that restored our nation and broke forever the chains of slavery. A generation later, the Army's Rough Riders stormed up San Juan Hill with Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and swept the last foreign empire from the American hemisphere forever. Forever swept. In World War I, our doughboys fought bravely in the Valley of the Marne and in the argonne. There in 1918, a devout Tennessee Christian named Alvin York, you know that name, charged across an open field towards the German machine guns. They were firing at levels at that time that nobody had ever seen before. They were knocking down everything in their way, including giant trees were coming down. The enemy mowed down more than half of his platoon almost immediately. The platoon was going down like nobody's ever thought possible. But York pressed on into the jaws of death. He slayed German after German and returned with 132 prisoners from behind the enemy lines. And he had the option of killing them. And he didn't want to do that. And that's okay, isn't it? Right? It's okay. But he brought 132 back. And his actions and the actions of that great day, Crazy, but great day. Sergeant York earned the Congressional Medal of Honor and became one of the most famed and decorated heroes of the First World War. Very famous, actually, because of the movie that was made. And we're joined today by Sergeant York's grandson, Army Colonel Gerald York. Gerald, thank you. Thank you, Gerald. Thank you very much. Great honor to have you. Thank you, Gerald. At his grandfather's funeral in 1964, Gerald was told by the Command Sergeant Major of Fort Bragg that it was about time he joined the Army. And he volunteered for combat in Vietnam and gave the army 30 one of his best years. No, I think your best years are right now. You look very good. Your best years are right now. Keep it going. But Colonel York, we salute you. We salute your family and the fame and the bravery of your family. Thank you very much. Appreciate you being here. And In World War II, the army once again came to the free world's rescue. Among the millions and millions who volunteered was Henry Armstrong. He enlisted six months before his high school graduation and did basic training right here at Fort Bragg. By the next year, he was in Normandy. He fought his way across France as part of Patton's 3rd army, crossed the Rhine into the heart of Germany and helped liberate a Nazi concentration camp. He was a brave person. Command Sergeant Major Henry Armstrong is here with us today. He's 100 years old, a veteran of dirt, numerous World War II battles, and 41 years in the Army. Thank you. Wow. These are great, amazing people. Thank you very much. Great. Thank you very much. He's joined by his grandson, Army Major Dennis Armstrong. And Dennis, I assume that's you. Thank you. Dennis and Dennis wife, Captain Shelley Armstrong. They love. They love the military and they love our country. Thank you very much, Shelly. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. And their son, Tanner. Where's Tanner? Let me see. Oh, he looks good, too. They all look good. Tanner might look the best, actually. Thank you very much. Who's an active duty staff sergeant in the 82nd Airborne right here in Fort Bragg. He could right now run for office. I think he's very popular. In Korea, our warriors held the front line in the battle against Communism and liberated millions and millions into the light of freedom to Vietnam. We sent some of the toughest men who ever wore army boots and olive drab. One of them was Joe Marm of Pennsylvania. He was 23 years old when his platoon was ordered to rescue soldiers surrounded by the enemy. In the Battle of Yadrang, Lieutenant Marm charged into heavy fire, killing four enemy soldiers in the brush before sprinting across 40 yards of open field. His teammates could not believe he was doing it, actually. They said he then tossed a grenade that killed eight Viet Cong gunners, plunged into the trenches and killed still more before being shot in the jaw. Badly in the jaw. He successfully cleared the way for his men to save their stranded comrades, and frankly, for his men to save their own lives. He was unbelievable. For his exceptional bravery, Lieutenant Marm received the Congressional Medal of Honor and retired as an Army Colonel after 30 years of service. Colonel Marm is here today with his two sons, Will and Walter, both Army Rangers. What a great family legacy. Please stand up. How's your jaw feeling? All right? The jaw? It's all right. Looks pretty good. I wish mine looked that good. It's very good. Thank you very much. Great family. Appreciate it. Real heroes in the modern era. Soldiers have charged into the darkest caves and ventured into the most godforsaken places to vanquish the forces of radical Islamic terror from the face of the Earth. In 2007, Chief Warrant Officer Eric Phillips was stationed at a remote outpost in the Afghan mountains when a massive Taliban force attacked from all sides. He thought he was finished. For three hours, he led a hellacious counter assault to successfully repulse the enemy in close combat. In the same deployment, Eric again repelled an attack by a vastly larger enemy force, saving countless lives. For his spectacular gallantry, Chief Phillips earned the Distinguished Service Cross and the Silver Star, becoming among the most highly decorated warriors of any branch in the war on terror. Actually, he is the most decorated, and it's not even that close. Many, many battles, Many, many medals, and he's with us today. Chief Phillips, you did us all proud. Please stand up. Chief Phillips, thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. You are army strong. Thank you very much, Chief. From the American Revolution until today, the story of the army is the tale of an unbroken chain of American patriots who gave all they had for this country. It is the saga of epic men like Washington and Jackson, Grant and Custer, Pershing and eisenhower, Patton and MacArthur, Wild Bill Donovan and the great General William Yarborough, father of the Green Berets. You know that. The Green Berets. You know that. William Yarborough. It's a story of fabled units like the Old Guard, the Iron Brigade, the Big Red One, the Buffalo Soldiers, the Harlem Hellfighters, the Tuskegee Airmen, the Screaming Eagles, and George Patton's Hell on Wheels. They called it Hell on Wheels when he was after you. It was not good. The weapons of war have changed with every generation, but the unflinching loyalty of the American soldier has always remained the same. The army has always stayed true to its motto. This we'll defend. You know that. This we'll defend. Army warriors who have laid down their lives for America, rest by the thousands in the sacred soil of Arlington and Gettysburg, Anzio and Manila, and to far off places known only to God. We owe everything to them. Today we renew our devotion to the cause of liberty for which they so selflessly lived and fought and so bravely died. There could be no greater tribute to their memory than to prepare the army to dominate America's enemies for the next 250, 50 years. And more than that. That's why, under the Trump administration, we're focused on restoring the spirit of the US Armed forces. No soldier ever volunteered for the army to be lectured about transgender diversity or inclusion. You don't want to hear that. Transgender for everybody. We don't do that. America's patriots join the army to kick down doors, storm beaches, kill terrorists, and win America's wars. That's what we. And that's what you want. And to that end, we're making that record investment, but not only in the army and the other forces, also because you work together as a team, and we're including in that and across the board now you don't have to take this if you don't want. You could be great patriots. Say I don't want a raise. I do not, I will not accept it. Let it go back into our country. Let's give it to Gavin Newscomb so he can waste it in Los Angeles. No, we don't want to do that. But we're giving you across the board raise for every single service member in the US Armed Forces. We're giving you across the board and you deserve it. You know, we spend so much money on things that we shouldn't be spending it on, but I think those days are stopping. Mr. Senators and congressmen that are with us as part of our one big beautiful bill, we are also investing over $1 billion to update your on base housing and we're building a state of the art missile defense shield to protect our homeland. And it's called the Golden Dome. It's going to be all made in America. We've done it for others. We're now doing it. About time, right? We're doing it for ourselves. After years of recruiting shortfalls, this is to me maybe the most exciting things. We're setting the strongest peacetime recruiting records ever. Just think of this. Six months ago we couldn't recruit anybody to join the military. Nobody wanted to join. That was six months ago. And then we had the election of November 5th and now we have the strongest recruiting numbers in, in the history of our country. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine that? We've already surpassed our recruiting targets for 2025 and we're not done yet. And I'll tell you, it doesn't make you feel good when you had to hear six, seven months ago that nobody wants to join the army. They don't want to join our military, frankly. They didn't want to join our police, our firemen. They lost confidence, they lost faith in our country. And just a short number of months later we're setting all time records. In fact, your job might be in jeopardy. Somebody else may come in and take it. That was bad. We'll get you out of here. You have to be good. We're getting the best people that you've ever seen. We're getting people. I don't think we've ever seen anything like it. Great. People are coming in. Doesn't it make you feel good though? You have something and you're doing something and other people want to join you. Isn't that a great feeling? Now, wasn't it a lousy feeling just a short time ago when they Announced, you know, you're a soldier and you're proud of your country and you're proud of the army in your case. And you're reading stories about nobody wants to come in and join the military. Right? Isn't that lousy? Even the ladies from North Carolina were not happy with that. But then we had a great election. It was amazing. Too big to rig. We had a great election, and all of a sudden, the people are pouring in, and we have incredible people like Pete and the others that are here. Dan, I think they made a big difference. I really do. So thank you very much, all of you guys. I think you've really made a big difference. The army will soon be stronger, bigger, and better than ever before. And every new soldier that joins our ranks will kindle the same fighting spirit exemplified by the likes of Sergeant Major Jim Schmidt, who's no longer with us. At 15 years old, after lying about his age because he wanted to get in so badly, Jim trained at Fort Bragg to fight in World War II. When Jim's middle school wrote to ask if he would attend his eighth grade graduation, he wrote back, that will be impossible, as I'm rather busy now. I'm in the hinterlands hunting down Germans, and I have to say this. And Italians. I know there are a couple of Germans and Italians here. As a paratrooper, he made the famous drops at Sicily and Salerno while still a young boy, too young to be in the Army. Kicked him out. They found out about it. They kicked him out. They discovered he was way underage. They said, jim, you got to get out of here. You're a hell of a soldier, but you got to get out. But that didn't stop Jim. He enlisted in the Navy, but the moment he turned 18, he came right back and he joined the 82nd Airborne. How about that? He went on to fight at the Chosun Reservoir in Korea, a rough place, saw combat in Vietnam, and ended his career right back at Fort Bragg, having earned two Silver Stars, three Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts. With us today is Jim's widow, Peggy, and their beloved grandson, Army Specialist Christian Forbes, who is currently deployed at our southern border defending our country from an invasion. Whether we like it or not, it's an invasion. But I don't know if you've heard. The invasion was 99.9% stopped. Do you hear that? 99 could even be more right. 99.999% stopped. That invasion has stopped. So I think he's in good shape. Specialist Forbes, I want to thank you for defending America. And you've obviously done a good job because that invasion has been stopped. And we appreciate you being here. Thank you. Wherever you may be. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Right. We stopped that sucker, didn't we? Huh? We stopped it. Thank you very much. Each and every one of you here today carries in your souls the love, strength and courage of millions upon millions of army patriots who came before you. Your uniforms bear the same stars and stripes that our ancestors carried to victory at Yorktown, across the Great Plains and over our Rockies. Up the Missionary Ridge, down through the streets of Paris. That's right. We went down the streets of Paris. We've got to help our allies, don't we? Across the sands of North Africa and onto the shores of Omaha beach. Into the blood soaked hills of Korea. And it was a West Point graduate named Buzz Aldrin who first planted our great American flag on the face of the moon. We know that now it's your turn to carry that flag forward and to add your own daring deeds into this chronicle of triumph and legends. Now it's your duty to shield the flame of freedom that was first lit 250 years ago by the heroes of Concord Bridge and Bunker Hill. Standing before you today, I am more confident than ever that in the days ahead and every generation to come, the US army will heap glory upon glory upon glory upon us all. You will protect every inch of U.S. soil. And you will defend America to the ends of the earth. Wherever danger is there, the US army will be another beautiful phrase. Whatever peril comes our way, whatever menace threatens our people, you will stand strong. You will be proud. You will charge hard. And you will keep that flame lit. That beautiful, beautiful flame. You're going to keep it lit. You will hold the flag high. And you will do something that's become quite a famous little phrase also. But you're a hell of a lot braver than me. You will fight, fight, fight. And you will win, win, win. Thank you. God bless you, God bless our soldiers, and God bless the US Army. Thank you very much. Thank you, everybody.

Stephen K. Bannon
United States leads amazing event at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the home of the 82nd Airborne, the All American division, one of the most honored divisions in, in the United States Army. One of the elite divisions airborne together, 101st airborne, which really has turned to air assault now, and the 82nd, which is really more paratroopers. I guess that's the way they were breaking down right now. Absolutely incredible. You see how excited are President Trump and he had oppressor beforehand. He's on fire going back to World War I, World War II. Why we don't celebrate him? I think he said in the, in the, in the Oval that we were the victors in World War II. If we hadn't stepped into the fight. We all be speaking German today. A lot of truth to death, particularly the quote, unquote, allies that we have today.
Donald Trump
Right.
Stephen K. Bannon
As I've said over and over again, most of the nations in NATO today were not on our side in World War II. And most of the elites in those nations definitely were not on our side in World War II. Maybe the people were so incredible. President Trump's on fire. And also walking through the rationale for about these riots and about his using the federalizing the military in many cases, back and forth today. But with Gavin Newsom, Gavin Newsom, I don't think really sticking the landing, making his case. He's now making excuses that, hey, the troops don't have blankets, they don't have food. The troops are going to do fine. These are tough men and women. They can handle it fine. They're there to have the back of local authorities. And we'll have to see it kicks up tonight. I think most of these rioters are really focused on this spreading throughout the rest of the country, particularly this weekend, which they call, what, no king day, some goofy moniker that they've come up with as they try to, they try to raise hell throughout the country, cause problems, cause dislocation, cause disunity. The nation is united behind that. You heard Harry Entin today on CNN with the polling. America backs President Trump. What he's doing, this is what is so fundamental and so important what President Trump has done in Los Angeles. Remember, most of the time, these things kind of, you Know, like you could see them in the three or four days. They get bigger, they get bigger, they start burning things, they get cheered on, the media cheers them on. It says, oh, they're peaceful. Or these are just people expressing their grievances. Remember the Summer of Love. Remember all that. Royce White's going to join us at six more problems up in Minnesota. I think they have illegal aliens. I don't know the General assembly up there. Royce White's going to join us. But Royce is also going to talk about and remind us of the Summer of Love where President Trump did something very strategic and very important. The local police forces, particularly in la, which used to be a, a legendary police force, today is quite woke. First off, you can see that in the police, in the policemen themselves, the rank and file. There's not a lot of those individuals look like they're in great shape. They just don't. However, they did a pretty good job, although it's kind of namby pamby with the rioters. They let them shut down the 101, the 110, cause havoc, take, take control of the streets for 18 hours. That's just not, you can't allow that. That would have metastasized. And this is not the rank and files fault. The senior leadership of the police department, you could tell, does not want to engage the riders and doesn't want to make arrest. There are virtually no arrests, at least up till yesterday afternoon. Last night there no arrest of anybody. That's why the National Guard showing up federal. I say, hey, the boss man has sent somebody to have your back and if you can't do it, we will. And then to send active duty Marine battalion up from 29 palms and Pete Hex, the secretary of defense is down with this. All of it. That broke with with increased in smart police activity last night. It broke the riders. Then you'd be back tonight. We're going to try to track down Ben Berkwam, but I think that they may be smoked out. You're always going to have these troublemakers, but you can't molly coddle it. You can't, you can't accept it. And you have a mayor that's making excuses and you're doing this. I hope I haven't seen it so far, but I hope. And it hasn't been public, which it should have been. Ice should have been out there all over. Should have flooded LA today with raid after raid after raid after a Tom Holman was like making excuses yesterday. Well, it was really for a drug cartel and a Money laundering operation. Don't make excuses for what you're doing on the raids. The money laundering in the criminality is all tied to illegal immigration. And you should be going into the schools, you should be going to the churches, you should be going to the workplaces, wherever you have to go. Sorry, not sorry, you're here illegally. You're going to go home. All 10 Maine over there came in on Biden's watch. Not just the criminals and not just the mentally insane. And you've got Karen Bass. The mayor of LA does not get up to the microphone. She says, he told us he promised. He didn't promise you anything. Here's what he promised you. Close the border, get back our sovereignty and repel the invasion in the repelling the invasion. A defined term. Mayor Bass is they all have to go home now. He's made all kind of arrangements. If they want to voluntarily go home, he's there to assist. But they don't. Guess what, they're going to be rounded up and deported. And if the liberals and progressives don't like it, tough. Not only the American people. First off, President Trump ran on this as a central, you know, plank because he said, hey, I was taking care of it in the first term. Which it was a huge deal. As you remember. Biden went the exact opposite to invite and organize an invasion. And oh, by the way, FBI and Justice Department, where's my Yorkers? Where are the charges against these people that round up? It just can't be the grundoons that came across the border. They were invited in by, they were invited in by the Biden regime. It just can't be that. Is this. We now have Brian Glenn. Okay, Brian Glenn's got B roll right there. Live from the motorcade, Brian, it's amazing. Brian Glenn just got the White House. Now he's in the motorcade. That's a shot, right? See that? See it zipping around? He'll fleet up. One day he'll be in Marine One and we'll get, we'll get a shot of that. Brian Glenn in the motorcade heading back. I think they took Air Force One today. That's a quick trip. You barely get up. You got to come down, man. Rob Siggs paying for that trip. I wanted that seats inexpensive because such a short trip I got inquiring minds want to know. Because it's expensive. That's why. Usually only the big networks do it. But Brian Glenn is the, is the rock star in that press briefing every day or in the Oval? No, the ICE has to more publicly double down, go for it. Not only did the American people support this, as Harry Antin showed you, the Hispanic community supports this. They don't want to live with this. The folks in the Hispanic community that are here, that are citizens, what did Harry Hinton say today? 47%. And sometimes he looks at the numbers and Maybe actually over 50 support President Trump and his plans on immigration, including deportations. We told you all along that when it gets down to the mass deportations time, if you remember, I gave that speech in Pinehurst, right near Fort Bragg, about a year, about two years ago now. Well, I said the convergence in, guess what, the spring and summer of 2025, we're gonna have these big budget cuts you're gonna have to do on the social services, combined with the beginning of the mass deportations, the left's gonna rise up and strike back. And this is what they're doing. This is about political will. Do we have the political will to finish this? President Trump? The American people have your back. The Hispanic and African American community have your back, particularly working class people, maybe not the credentialed class, but the working class definitely have your back because they've had to live with it. And you're there really is the salvation. And shutting the border down, which Lankford and these guys told us would take us years and billions of dollars. You did in 60 days. And now they're complaining, oh, it's $134 million. Well, what's the cost? That's what's the cost of the illegal aliens we're getting out of la. It's going to pay for itself. This is actually a cash flow. You're going to generate positive cash flow. You're going to cut the cost of what you're. You're what you're paying for. And not even the opportunity cost. I'm even talking about the crime and all that. I'm talking about the direct cost that you're being. You're paying right now for illegal alien invaders. Okay, we are packed. President Trump is leaving. There's Brian will come back. That amazing Brian Glenn in the motorcade got some great visuals right there. Isn't it amazing? Short commercial break.

Donald Trump
Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay A lot going on in L. A during the day. President Trump has been saying he's going to double and triple down with ICE raids. He's going to double and triple down with troops. Ben Berkram's on the streets. Ben, is this thing settling down or starting to work back up?
Ben Berkwam
Well, I'll tell you, Steve, we're going to move over here. We've got. We're down on Alameda right behind the ICE office right here, main ICE headquarters. We've got law enforcement lined up. The show of force is heavy today. We've got the National Guard on the other side. They let them come in to do a little protest earlier when we first got here, but then they sealed the entire thing off and now they're starting to remove people that there was actually a van or. Hang on one second, Steve.
Donald Trump
Commercial place.
Stephen K. Bannon
Give us a working room, please.
Ben Berkwam
Okay, hang on, Steve.
Stephen K. Bannon
Sorry.
Ben Berkwam
We're just trying to get. So they're pushing everybody out. It looks like we're going to move over here real quick. I know, I know, I know. We're going to move over here. There. It looks like there's some action over here, but they're pushing them out. So it looks like there's. They're doing a show of force right now in order to push everybody out early so they don't have the things happening. So clearly, though, again, this is a continuation of the show of force that we saw yesterday with President Trump.
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, they gave a dispersion, you know, in the afternoon show yesterday, they gave a dispersion to disperse immediately, I think, when we came on air. And they did that throughout the night. So it was almost done by the time darkness fell because you guys are three hours behind us. Is this the same they did allow. And I don't know why they allowed them back down by the ICE building. They're going to have to go through another three hour evolution to push them back out. Right. I mean, you're essentially redoing today what you did yesterday. Right. Or the authorities are.
Ben Berkwam
Yeah, it feels. It feels like a little heavier response today than we had yesterday. They started off yesterday, you know, at this time, they were letting everybody kind of move up and surround the building. In fact, although yesterday they didn't allow anyone back here, they had this area totally blocked off. It feels like today they let people come back here and protest simply to kind of cordon them off and then they blocked it all. So if you turn the camera, Eric, if you turn the camera behind. So this area has already been cordoned off. For quite a while, they weren't letting anyone in. We were inside here with the main protesters slash agitators, and nothing was really happening until that bus full of what looked like a bunch of illegals from an operation this morning came through. And that's when we started seeing some violence, some clashes between them, and now they've shut this area down. The big problem, though, Steve, is, as you mentioned, you know, they basically just coddle the antifa guys and move them around the city. And we see what we saw last night, they basically just let them do what they want to do, and then they go out into the streets and loot and cause violence and attack vehicles and throw mortars and all the rest of it. So they move them away from these buildings, these strategic locations. But hang on, we got some movement over here, but they don't stop them from committing criminal acts.
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, but here's the point. Here's the point. This is why we were recommending today they be amassed. Multiple ICE raids. Make it public, have a show of force, show Mayor Bass, show Newsom, show the left wingers, the agitators, all of them get in their face and show them you're not backing down at all by doing these raids. That bus, when it came back, you see, once the buses come back, that's when they get violent. Hey, that's fine. You want to get violent, we'll lock you up.
Ben Berkwam
That's right.
Stephen K. Bannon
That's what we got. That's what. We have the National Guard here federalized as we got the Marines. You want to. You want to. You want to make a big deal and start throwing stuff and violating the law and shutting down the city and rioting because we're bringing people back in that are going to be deported? Let's do it now. Come on. Let's do it publicly. Don't need to hide this. Yeah, we're proud. We're proud of what we're doing.
Donald Trump
We are.
Stephen K. Bannon
We are. Stopping an invasion of our country is nothing to be embarrassed.
Donald Trump
This is.
Stephen K. Bannon
You should be proud of this. This is President Trump, one of his greatest moments to save the country and save the sovereignty of the country. 10 million invaders have come into the country, and they all have to go home. Today. I think it was media matters or somebody melted down when I said that. Meltdown every day, snowflake, because they're going home. So I think you see, as soon as you see a bus of the illegal aliens coming in rolling back to the detention center to be shipped out of here, all sudden, they're going to get violent, Let them get violent, then lock them all up. There's a couple thousand. If they're four or five thousand of these riders, hey, it takes two or three days to lock them up. Lock them up and then ship those guys out, too. This is why I think now you double and triple down. You don't flinch. And, Ben, you just saw it in action. As soon as they do the ICE raids, as soon as they bring back the people that are, that they're going to ship out of here, they're going to deport. Because this is called mass deportation. We're not doing onesies, twosies. It's mass deportation. All of a sudden the. The bad guys go crazy. They start throwing stuff. They try to disrupt, right? They want to start to riot. Sir, do I, Do I bent? I don't. He lost his sound. Let's see if we can reboot him. Yeah, let's see some B roll. Just take the camera and swing it around. There we go. Let's see if we can reboot. Ben. Here's my point. President. He's got the right strategy. You're going to have a show of force with actual. With actual assets that can have the back of the state police or the chp, California Highway Patrol, right? The chips, guys, you're going to have the back of lapd, particularly the big tactical units. You're going to let people know we have your back, but there's no need to. We can't play hide the football here. Ben Berkhom, do we have you back up, brother?
Ben Berkwam
Yep, I'm here. Yeah, I'm here. Steve, I really hope President Trump and Tom Homan are listening to your advice, because that's what the American people want. They're so used to. The left is so used to throwing these tantrums and getting their way and having people back off. What they're not used to is throwing their tantrums and getting spanked like they deserve to. And so I 100% agree, and I know MAGA agrees with you. They should triple down. They should continue to escalate, pick up more of the people. And again, because the reality is who the left is trying to protect right now are the worst of the worst. I've been on several of these ops. I'm going to be on another one later this week. They're going after the worst of the worst. These guys out here protesting are trying to protect the worst of the worst. The mainstream media. I was just out here with Aaron Burnett at cnn. They're trying to protect the worst of the worst. President Trump has a mandate from the American people. He should use that mandate and deport them all.
Stephen K. Bannon
Now, listen, in 2020, there was a lot of great rhetoric, but the country burned down. And the reason is the people around President Trump would not execute on what President Trump wanted to have happen. Now you've got, now you've got Pam Bondi, you got Cash Patel, you've got Pete Hexif, you got Tom Homan, you got Kristi Noem, you have people that will execute on your plan. Ben Berkhom is a big difference in 2020. Now, let's merge the rhetoric with drop the hammer. Every day you've got the right, you have all the chess pieces. Now it's time to double and triple down on the ICE raids. And it should be going everywhere. Schools, churches, everywhere, everywhere. Everybody's got to go line up. And what you'll find out is so many people just say, okay, I'm a deport. I'm going to get out of here. And no harm, no foul, right? This is what we got to do. Ben Berkwam.
Ben Berkwam
Yeah, well, and you know, the big difference now, too is President Trump went through that first term. He wasn't a political agent at that time. He was a businessman, smart guy. Now, he's been through it. He's been through the death threats, he's been through the trials, he's been through the injustice system. And he's got nothing to lose. And he finally has a team around him that actually will stand up and do the things that he wants to do. And really what it comes down to is pulling that trigger. I think I just pray they have the will to do it. And to your point, President, excuse me, Tom Homan. I don't think they should hold anything back. I think the American people want to hear exactly what they're doing and why they're doing it and that they're not going to back down at all. The last thing the American people in particular, maga, want is them backing down. Now they know how close we are to losing our country.
Stephen K. Bannon
We don't need any of the media hits. No more media heads. Just get in the lead tank and let's go, let's go, let's go. Round them up. The problem in 2020, he was either lied to by people around him, lied to about what real conditions were, or he would give an order and they would not execute it. This is why some of these cities burned down. They would not execute. They told him he couldn't do certain things. They lied to him. They misled him, and in many cases, he ordered them to do it, and they just didn't do it. That's the team he has now is the exact opposite. These people are ready to execute Ben Burkhrom. You've seen it. You've been on these ICE raids. You've been on a lot of them so far.
Ben Berkwam
Yeah, yeah. When you had Reince Priebus and you had the deep state that was already in there telling you lies, telling you to hedge your bets. You don't want to. You know, we're in a different world right now. We're in the life or death of our nation right now. And he's. He's been.
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah, this one, this guy Reince was long gone by then. I'm talking about the summer of 2020. The summer of 2020 when, when, when we had the summer of love. There was a lot of great rhetoric. There's a lot of great rhetoric. And the country burned. And that was because of President Trump being misled and guys like Bill Barr telling him things couldn't be done. He had attorney head of the entire Justice Department, virtually was a bunch of liars. Right. All Bush appointees. You saw them right there. That they wouldn't act. This is why it's so important now. This is why I'm a huge advocate. Triple down on the ICE raids and make them public. Don't, don't. We're not, we're not hiding this. Do it out in broad daylight and dare the agitators to do something. Then lock them up and get them the hell out of here. Right? Half of these agitators are illegal aliens. Lock them up. The American citizens, put them in jail. The other ones that are illegal aliens, ship them out of here. Ben.
Ben Berkwam
Yeah, but, but to your, your broader point, it's the, the business owners of these companies that are hiring them. They. We need to see those guys locked up. It's the politicians that are protecting them. That's what the American people want to see. That's the ultimate. That's where you're going to see this actually change. You know, you can pick up illegals, but once you start picking up the CEOs of those companies or the politicians that are aiding and abetting them, that's when this is going to change.
Stephen K. Bannon
Or these fat cats on these, these Democratic progressive left donors from Hollywood in media and New York City and the lords of easy money, these, all of them go to, go to them. Let's send them. Hey, they're more responsible for this. From some poor person from the Caribbean or somebody from Central America in la. Yes, that person has to go home. He's got to do it humanely. Okay? But the responsibility is the guys that back Biden and the guys are doing these NGOs right now. Go ahead, sir.
Ben Berkwam
This is a great point. In a lot of ways, the NGOs think about how maniacal they were. These NGOs pretending to do good. You got Catholic Charities pretending to do good, profiting off of this invasion, knowing. Knowing full well that most of the people that they were helping invade our country were going to have to be deported simply to be able to use them as a pawn today to try to attack President Trump. That's how evil these organizations and the people behind them are. They cared more about making the money and undermining our country than they did even about the people. A lot of the people that are coming over were duped into this. A lot of them saw the signs and said, hey, it's time to go.
Donald Trump
Let's go.
Ben Berkwam
I met people in the Darien Gap that said, man, I would have never done this before had I not been told that this is what we needed to do, that we're invited, all of this. It's all of those people and organizations that invited the invasion. They are the worst of the worst. And really, when we talk about the worst, first, it should be them.
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah, my Biden, the. The. All of the NGOs, the Lutheran Society, the Catholic Charities, they ought to be, hey, they ought to be right now under investigation. And if they, if they're foreigners here on any type, of any type of visa, reject it and get them the hell out of the country. And US citizens, Try them. And the billionaires, the people that cause us, the people in back of it. It's like the financiers in back of Hitler, the financiers in back of Tojo, they walked away scot free. You can't make changes until you go after them, the industrialists. Right now we got a chance. This is. This is an industrial operation. What did Ben Berkhwam and Tom Bensman tell us all the time? Benzeman said, this is not chaos, it's not chaotic, it's very thought through. They did. They got rid of Trump's executive orders. They laid in a whole architecture of legal, knowing exactly what they do, they put the technology out there and knowing exactly what they've done. For the last four years, we've gone from Latin America. And the daring gap in hell had Michael Yan over in Morocco.
Donald Trump
Right?
Stephen K. Bannon
You see how the whole Thing's a global system. What did Oscar Blue Ramirez tell us time and time and time again? The UN Compact on Migration, right. It was all totally organized, just like it is in Europe. And it's financed by big people. Who are those people? They want to break this American republic. They want to break it and bring it to his knees. This is the enemy within and the enemy within. We ought to be going after hammer and tong and not back off. We have a righteous cause and the American people back us. And listen, you got a window of opportunity to do this. This is the whole thing about taking down the deep state. You have to do it with urgency. Action, action, action. Today, Tom Holman, are the three times more ICE raids out there? And no, I don't want ICE raids on drug cartels and money laundering. I want to go get illegal aliens and mass deport them. Today in Los Angeles. Berquheim, hang around. Short break. What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month? Steve Bannon here. War room listeners know Jim Rickards. I love this guy. He's our wise man.

Get in there and look at it as an alternative hedge, a little hedge to the rest of your financial assets. Ben Berkwam, tonight, what's going to happen? We're going to let you go. We know you want to get in position. We know the other networks are moleculing these people. The action today should be every day we should double down on these ICE raids everywhere, particularly in LA County. Now we got them on the run. You got back up there. They ought to do it. Your thoughts, sir? Before you get, you're going to get out tonight among these rioters and tell us what's happening all night.
Donald Trump
Yeah.
Ben Berkwam
So the moral of the story, of this story is always the same. You, you know, you punish the kids early. It's like your kids, you give them a short leash or else they take advantage of it. Same thing here. You got a bunch of spoiled kids, you take care of them early. And you're seeing that now finally. It's been, you know, three days of allowing the riots and the vandalism and the rest of it, but we're going to see more of that. So to your point, I think our focus as Americans need to be supporting ice. ICE needs to know they got that we got their back and they need to go full force, ignore what's happening here, deal with these guys, arrest every one of them, but focus on the real enemies within again, the organizations, the people, the politicians and the money that was behind creating this. Not only did they, but you said it stoosis last thought it was, it was a designed invasion. But this is also designed chaos. They did that with George Floyd, they did that with the BLM riots. That was designed chaos. And unfortunately it worked with BLM and George Floyd. We can't allow that to happen this time.
Stephen K. Bannon
That's exactly right. This is always design chaos and this time, this is why it's so important. President Trump's got a great team. You got Stephen Miller and Tom Homan, the border czars. You got Kristi Noem you have Pete Hexith at defense. You have, you have Pam and Cash over at DOJ and FBI. Your team's in place. Call the play, run the play. You've got it. You just have to execute now and don't flinch. No matter what the media says. The more they howl, the more you know you're doing it right. And this whole concept, particularly Mayor Bass. Oh, you only supposed to come after criminals. No, no, ma' am. Take your number two pencil out and write this down. 10 million illegal alien invaders. Anybody that came in on Biden's watch gotta go and will go. Berquhon what's your social media and we'll look for you tonight. I'm sure we're gonna be live streaming this into the hours and may it's spreading to Dallas. Last night was actually as scary and parts of it was scary as la. I think it's spreading to San Antonio also. Where can people get you, sir?
Ben Berkwam

In the next hour, Royce is going to be on. He's going to talk about remembering the height of the BLM with the whole media is running around. Royce White led a march. Royce White go.

That's a game changer that got people's attention and Royce White is absolutely correct. Mo Band is going to be here in the second hour to talk about the U.S. army. Some things President Trump said today is magnificent down at Fort Bragg. We just wrapped up there. Remember, they're going to be maybe some of the front line to see to take care of these cities. President Trump is getting ahead. He's not going to let a burn baby burn. This is not going to be a summer like 1968. This is not going to be a summer like 2020. He's ahead of it already with a show of force. And last night you saw it as soon as the National Guard came out. Those rioters quote unquote agitators or as CNN calls them, peaceful protesters. They couldn't get out of there fast enough. They didn't want any piece of that action. Then when the police, when somebody had their back and they started taking out those zip ties, all of a sudden all you had was the media around there. So in the second hour we got a lot to go through. Big day today. President Trump down at Fort Bragg. We had Mitch Little on the morning show and my phone kind of blew up afterwards. This Texas situation is very unsettling. What in the hell is going on with Texas? The source boy junior, he's announced he's going to put a couple hundred million dollars to turn Texas purple and then blue. They're back again after blowing 300 million or 400 million the first time. The MAGA loyalist, the grassroots in Texas delivered a 14 point win for President Trump and a 9 point win for Ted Cruz which was kind of unprecedented. Now you've had this disaster and debacle in the, in the legislator legislature as you had this just incredible, incredible kind of takeover by the business interests that really partnered with the Democrats and they had a terrible session down there.
