Charlie Kirk
What a weekend. President Donald Trump signed the big, beautiful bill on Independence Day on July 4, signaling a massive legislative accomplishment. Tax cut. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security. Huge investment in border security. $175 billion for ICE. But you would think that, hey, we get $175 billion for ICE, we're going to get mass deportations. We're going to be able to have now the largest deportation effort ever. Yes, in theory, but in practice, there's something else afoot. Literally, the day before President Donald Trump was signing the big, beautiful bill, I got a couple phone calls from people that you would call members of the ruling class. A lot of money and a lot of connections. They said, charlie, isn't this amazing? We passed the big, beautiful bill. I said, oh, yes, sir. And they said, now we need mass amnesty. What? I said, we haven't even signed the bill yet. They said, yeah, you know, these deportations, we're going to lose the midterms because of the deportations. The people on the right, they'll understand, and we need to come to the middle and we need to legalize the 25 million people here in this country. I was speechless, because here I am actually thinking a little naive. We're going to sign this big, beautiful bill, and we're actually going to get mass deportations uninterrupted from an asymmetrical attack. So we have somewhere between 20 to 50 million illegal aliens in this country. We don't actually know the numbers. These are all guesstimates. These are all just approximations. And there is a movement afoot as I am doing this broadcast. And this is bigger than anything with Epstein. This is bigger than anything with tax cuts. It is happening right now in Washington, D.C. and I can say this from firsthand experience that people are pushing President Trump for amnesty. They are pushing him for mass legalization of illegals. Now, President Donald Trump, of course, would never push for amnesty. But President Donald Trump said something at a rally on July 3, and my phone lit up like you wouldn't imagine. President Donald Trump was talking about potentially doing a bipartisan compromise deal for illegals that have stolen Social Security numbers, that are illegally domiciling themselves here in the country, that are all felons. Every single one of them are felons. They're just not yet indicted felons. But if they're here illegally, you're a felon. It's against federal law. We've gone through all the different federal laws that you break by being here, and this is President Donald Trump, speaking at the Iowa rally, saying that we might need to do some form. He didn't use the word amnesty, but some form of soft amnesty. And I could tell you now, through other reporting that I've been able to do and phone calls, there is a major push right now to do a bipartisan amnesty deal. A major push. People are trying to push the president, hey, you got the money for ice. Now we need to go move to the middle on immigration placard. 258 people have worked for a farm.
Brooke Rollins
On a farm for 14, 15 years, and they get thrown out pretty viciously, and we can't do it. We've got to work with the farmers and, and people that have hotels and leisure properties, too. We're going to work with them, and we're going to work very strong and smart, and we're going to put you in charge. We're going to make you responsible. And I think that that's going a lot of people happy now, serious radical right people who I also happen to like a lot. They may not be quite as happy, but they'll understand, won't they? Do you think they'll understand that you're the one that brought this whole situation up? Brooke Rollins brought it up, and she said, so we have a little problem. The farmers are losing a lot of people. And we figured it out, and we have some great stuff being written and let the farmers be responsible.
Charlie Kirk
Let the farmers be responsible. Look, I trust President Trump's instincts 100% here, but there is a group of people that are pushing President Trump very hard to stop the deportation effort and to try to have some sort of a come to the table moment of a bipartisan compromise that we need to try to figure out how to make these people have a pathway to citizenship. Now, this is not by any means a knock on President Trump. It is a knock on people that are trying to pressure President Trump and pressure him hard. We don't know any of the details, but President Trump did say that the radical right people that he has a soft spot for wouldn't like this. Hello. Hi. I'm one of those radical right people, and I want to know what I'm not going to like because of all the different stuff that's in front of us. If you want to break our coalition, go and push amnesty, that right there would be a complete collapse of everything that we have worked for, everything. So we don't know any details, but it looks as if President Trump might be in preliminary discussions. And I could tell you that there are many different discussions that I've had with people, and they are pushing it hard to create some kind of amnesty proposal aimed specifically at farm laborers in the United States. But it's more than that. It could be hotels, it could be leisure properties. We've heard the arguments about this for years. Well, the crops are going to rot in the fields. There'll be starvation. But here's the main thing that you need to know. We've tried this before. This is not some sort of new thing. And by the way, just so we are clear, I went to an event this last weekend in San Diego. J.D. vance was there, and another person came up and said, charlie, do you know what we need? We need to have some sort of pathway citizenship for 25 people. I said, are you guys on all some sort of group chat or something? Are you guys all just coordinating? We have not even 48 hours of the largest investment in border security, deportation and ice. And why are you pitching me on mass amnesty? What is that all about? There's a lot of reasons for this, and one of which is the corporate class is deathly afraid that they might actually have to hire Americans and pay a higher wage. Somehow other countries are able to grow food without imported surf labor. How are they able to do that? I don't know. Apparently, we have built so many parts of our economy to be reliant on foreign criminal invaders that have come into this country. And some people. Oh, we have to allow farmers transition. No, you deport them back to their country of origin. All of them. We did not run on mass amnesty. We ran on mass deportations.
Stephen K. Bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going.
Ben Berkwam
Medieval on these people.
Stephen K. Bannon
Christians, I got a free shot.
Ben Berkwam
All these networks lying about the people.
Stephen K. Bannon
The people have had a belly full of it.
Ben Berkwam
I know you don't like hearing that.
Stephen K. Bannon
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.
Charlie Kirk
And where do people like that go.
Stephen K. Bannon
To share the big lie? MAGA Media.
Charlie Kirk
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Ben Berkwam
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

Charlie Kirk
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
Stephen K. Bannon
It's Monday 7July Europe 2025. You heard Charlie Kirk today on fire on his show on Real America's Voice and across the nation on radio. And he's got his podcast, all of it part of that's in response to. There's word out that how possibly did they do the Epstein announcement last night? And there is word out behind the scenes that, oh, that was a misdirection play to get everybody to bounce as they slip as they try to force President Trump to do some mass amnesty. But guess what? MAGA can walk and chew gum at the same time. There's a lot of activity going on with Epstein situation. Exactly. Finding out exactly what's going on. Tom Fitton's on it, all these different groups are on it. And I think you'll see developments on that hopefully in the next couple of days. But like I said at the end of the show today, when we had Rosemary Jenks on the only they sold look on War Room, we're the first ones to go to Navarre. And these guys say, hey, look, if you want to do this big beautiful bill, it's a supply side tax cut. You got to put your own math together and add everything. Like President Trump today, setting out everything on these tariffs, sending out letters on tariffs. Here's your tariff. 32%. Croatia, Bosnia. This, 25%. South Korea, suck on this. Japan, 25%. I mean, President Trump's dropping bombs. Add all that in there, particularly the jobs coming back. All of it. Deregulation, full spectrum dominance, energy boom. Come up with the economic model. Show how you get to 2.8. The 3.4% growth. I'm the guy that had to bring up hello. Remember, fourth quarter, 2019, there's 3.4% growth. We can hit that again. And that's selling. However, part of the White House, and I see this, I understand it, we're selling. You know, don't want to talk about the deaths and don't talk about anything like that growth. They want to talk about $170 billion. Secure the border. Mass and deportations, fine, we'll take that play too. But that's mass deportations. It's 7,000 a day. I think Tom Holman concurred. Seven thousand a day, I think get you over three and a half, four years, nine, ten million folks. That's kind of our number. Fine. In LA today in MacArthur park, kind of up armored with, with it looks like a riot patrol horses and, and people totally decked out. ICE and other assets going through this. It's MS.13. Hey, MSN13 is great. Get them all. They got to go. But mass deportations, the operant word there is mass. That means all people. As Charlie Kirk said, everyone here illegally has got to go home. There can't be any embassy for anybody. Everybody here illegally has to go home. They have to go home. They have to get in line and come in legally. And guess what? On the legal side, we want to do away with some of that too. There's just too many. There's not. You have 12 million STEM graduates in this country that don't have jobs until every STEM person has a job. Why would I let another foreigner in this country to take their job? Why? Low skilled wages are increasing under President Trump. Because you're restricting people coming into the country. But until their wages are better, why will we still allow the illegal aliens to stay here? If you deport them, their wages are going to go up. And guess what? That's not going to be the end of the world. Wall street will survive. It's low skilled workers. It's not. It's not going to break you. I understand the billionaires that call you now don't have people to cut their grass and do their lawns and clean their pool and clean their house and be nannies to the kids because they don't pay attention to the kids. How do I know that? I see them at these universities where they don't know anything except they hate America. I don't know. Maybe they hate America because their parents didn't raise them. I don't know and quite frankly, I don't care. They all have to go. So if we have to have a fight now over and people around President Trump saying we got amnesty and he called out Brooke Rollins.
Ben Berkwam
Hey.
Stephen K. Bannon
Hey. I'm just saying what the man said. Hey, Brooke, thanks. You've been pushing this. Thank you for big act. Thank you very much. Gave a name check.
Ben Berkwam
Just saying.
Stephen K. Bannon
We cannot have mass amnesty. We're just at the very beginning of this.
Ben Berkwam
This is different.
Stephen K. Bannon
Political. I'm not even. I don't care about. Oh, it break our coalition, the momentum. Of course it would. But that's not even the point. The point is we have a country to save. And this shows you this lethal combination of too much wealth concentrated in too few people with too little judgment and too little actual love of this country and sacrifice for this country combined with the deep state apparatus that wants to keep control of an empire they've helped to build and that we quite frankly don't want. That's the fight before us. It's not any one piece of legislation. If it's got to be a fight, it's got to be a fight. If we got to do it now, we got to do it now. So let's we're here. That's what Charlie started today. We're going to smoke them all out. We're going to smoke out the mass amnesty folks and say show me what you got. What do you have? What are we doing here? It's mass deportations. That's what got us here. That's what won 2024 with everything else, even the economy. The key part of it was to get wages up to stop the destruction of working class communities of people of color African American and Hispanic. That's healthcare system and school system and all of it is being shattered their communities as their wages are being driven down. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're not going to have mass amnesty. Cannot have it. And yes, we appreciate going through MacArthur park and we appreciate the bad hombres. That's very important. Let's get out in the crime down heck I'm hearing from. I lived in LA or around the beaches in LA for 20 some years. I'm here for all my former partners and guys very well that parts of East LA are like a ghost town. Was it Steinman's putting up on Twitter that the freeways never been, never been less crowded. So it's working now. Let's double and triple down. It's called mass deportations. Beyond the bad hombres. Now we're going to smoke out the amnesty crowd. We're going to. And you know what? I'm just taking a wild guess here. Just a wild guess. I'm being speculative, a little speculative here. Somehow I think this may be related to the tech bros and the wealthy donors. I just think maybe in the global corporatist and Wall street, in the Chamber of Commerce. I'm throwing out some just random, random ideas that are popping into my brain right now.
Ben Berkwam
Of course it's them.
Stephen K. Bannon
The worst cretins in the world crawling under from under their rocks and trying to come in, get what they do, you know, take a bite of the country.
Ben Berkwam
Get some.
Stephen K. Bannon
Better get some. Not gonna get any of this sir. Not gonna happen. Short commercial break we're going to the Guadalupe River. Kerrville, Texas Ben Berkhom next.

This July there is a global summit of BRICS nations. In Rio de Janeiro, the block of emerging superpowers including China, Russia, India and Persia are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio Reset. As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for US dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar and your savings. While this Transition won't not happen overnight but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.

You're doing an amazing job. You came off of everything at in Iowa. Went right there. It's a horrible situation. They cancel the press conference folks I know they're busy, they're swamped but I assume they don't have great news. That's where the cancel it. Maybe later tonight we'll find out but for right now the one we're going to cover not There, Berkwam, I think you might have an observation or two about what I just said about mass amnesties and mass deportations since you went in harm's way for the last four years. Well, you, Oscar Blue Ramirez, there's a half a dozen people associated with this channel that put their lives on the line in some of those dangerous, cartel ridden and places down in the Darien Gap. Come on, man. People talk about, oh, this guy did this for 2024. Hey, Oscar Blue Ramirez, Ben Berquam, Michael Yan, the whole team down there, Loomer went down for a while. Your whole team that was down there the whole time, Real America's voice camera crews, all of it. What do you think when you hear Charlie Kirk saying they're making a move now not just to stop mass deportations, but to have mass amnesty. And I think you were in Iowa. Let me say something, folks. President Trump's speech was amazing. The whole thing coming back to the White House. There was a buzz kill in that speech and the buzz kill was that line. And so I want to welcome another member of the radical right, Ben Berkwom, a serious member of the radical right. Ben Berkwam joins me. Brother, how you doing?
Tom Holman
Ultra extreme maga. I got my shirt in the car. Yeah, that. I'll tell you, I was at that rally and you could hear a pin drop when he threw that out there. When he weather ballooned that one, it popped. And nobody, I mean, the whole crowd was like, are you kidding? You gotta be kidding, right? I mean, everybody in MAGA wants more deportations, not less. And as a guy coming from California, you know, I've been doing this for a long time when it comes to what we've seen with Joe Biden's border invasion. But I've been involved with this for way longer than that. I had to sit in classes at Fresno State in California through my undergrad and graduate programs with illegal aliens that were getting full ride scholarships. That was where I realized what the hell's going on. And I worked in the agricultural community in California. I helped with the, the Central Valley farmers as they were fighting to get their water back from Gavin Newsom and the radical leftists that were taking it because the Delta smelt. Well, I also saw what they were doing, what farmers were doing, exploiting illegal aliens. And they've been doing that for decades now. To throw in there, Charlie Kirk. Oh, man, that was so good, Charlie. Throwing in there, the fact that they want to, oh, let's just throw in hotels. Oh, and Maybe restaurants. Oh, and how about every other sector of our economy and our, and our country? Illegal aliens have infiltrated everything and the only people that want them to stay here are the people that have used them and abused them and used them as cheap laborers because they don't want to hire you American citizens. That's the truth. Hell no is my answer. No, absolutely no. Amnesty all. Deportation. And if, if, you know, if you can't hear me in the people all.
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah, the people push it. Yeah, the all. Deport them all. By the way, people pushing this, we're going to start naming names tomorrow. So you keep pushing, you're going to have to deal with the, with the, with the vox populi. The voice of the people are going to have to understand this. Ben, I'm a little concerned. You're down there and there's no press conference. The press conference have at least been good to talk about and they've done a great job so far. And I realize they're under tremendous pressure and they talked today. The scale of this. They're getting these volunteer groups. Is there any reason in your mind you think that they've delayed this at least? I guess hopefully we're going to have the evening one. Is there anything that's happened today that leads you to believe why they, why they are delaying or at least canceling the press conference now? They may have one later. Your thoughts since you're down there? Our guy on the ground?
Tom Holman
Yeah, no, I think it's, I think it's pretty clear that 72 hour mark. Anyone who's been involved in search and rescue, 72 hours is the life death threshold typically. And so I think we're heading into that all recovery phase. And I think honestly that's their focus is recovery. They have been fed up with the media, the line of questions that they've been getting. And I think the last thing they want is we're heading towards 100. We're in the 90s of death toll. In fact, I found another body. I was actually a place I was hiking around yesterday looking through the debris. I went over there right after the press conference this morning. They had just found another body. That's what's happening. And I honestly think they just don't want to talk about it. I mean these guys are overwhelmed, they're overburdened and they're being attacked by the media. That's not really doing anything to help other than creating more hysteria and fear and blaming President Trump.
Stephen K. Bannon
Let's, let's talk about this. I saw the tender Today and for audience in Catcher, Ben Berkwam represented you and represented, represented us. And Rev, amazingly asked two brilliant questions. You know, one that the director of operations answered I thought very good, but didn't. He didn't have a warm fuzzy after he gave the answer. And Ted Cruz, the media, every question, I think the first five or six questions are literally just attack questions on the National Weather Service, on alerts, on all that. Is that what the folks down there, they're just besieged now by a mainstream media that is absolutely focused on finding blame somehow with President Trump on this and that they're just tired of it. I mean, they're under so much pressure. They've been doing this nonstop since early.
Ben Berkwam
You know, three, four or five in.
Stephen K. Bannon
The morning on Friday morning on Fourth of July. Is that why you think they delayed it? Is that the media is just out of control? Yeah.
Tom Holman
I think you can only see so many dead kids and so many dead friends in your neighborhood and go to 10 press conferences and be asked the same stupid questions other than ours before you get to a point where you say, why the hell are we doing this? Why are we giving these guys the time of day? We're just going to do what we're going to do. And I mean, I would. I don't begrudge them for doing that. Honestly, it doesn't hurt my feelings at all. I've sat through every one of these press conferences and it makes me sick. I have to listen to these idiots. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if that was the reason they're not doing one this evening. In fact, they've canceled the rest for today. The next one will be tomorrow. I'll be back on the road, heading home. But that's the anticipation. That's where we're at right now. I think, you know, I think that you get to a point where you say you're asking me the same questions and I don't have an answer for you to use in your pitch line tonight to attack President Trump. That's the feeling you get at these things. And it's not just attacking President Trump, it's attacking them directly. You know, each one of these guys have put their lives out there. These are their family and their friends and their community. And these jackals, these vultures going in there, clearly they don't care. It's all disingenuous. Why do the press conferences? Honestly, I wouldn't fault them if that's why they did it.
Ben Berkwam
In the information.
Stephen K. Bannon
Escape, they're not going to have the late night one either, then pretty clearly, I think this is the line of demarcation from the search and rescue. Tomorrow they'll announce the recovery phase. Right. And they don't sit there and have the media, just National Weather Service, National Weather Service, 1 o' clock in the morning, 3 o' clock in the morning. So it's logical why they're doing this. And Ben, any summary thoughts you have, I know you're going to punch out tomorrow. You're going to get back. We got so much other stuff going on, this horrible tragedy. Any closing observations or thoughts since you've been there, met so many people and have, and we've covered this. I want to thank Real America's Voice. All Saturday, all Friday, when other networks wouldn't do it, we tried to be there for these people to make sure the information got out. Yeah.
Tom Holman
I'll just say this. I'm putting the pieces together. The fact that I was there on Thursday when President Trump announced the signing of the bill. You come here Friday, this disaster happens and you look at the response by the left. Clearly they projected this. We're going to have Americans are going to die. And all they looked for was the first thing they could say. We could blame President Trump, the bill, all this, this is that thing for them now. So I anticipate that's what you're going to hear until they have something else to use for this, this political football of President Trump. The bill is going to kill people. It didn't work with Medicaid because everyone realized it was a bunch of illegals that are getting kicked off. They're going to try to use it on this. I would just say to the American people, you're smarter than that. We know that our audience is smarter than that. And the biggest thing on all of this is pray for this community. Pray for the parents that lost their children. Pray for the children that lost their parents and pray that we get some answers in the end of the reality. If these things can be prevented, some of these acts of God, you can't prevent. Some of this stuff is just part of life. Death is a part of life, sadly. But the key is faith and knowing where you're going after this. And that's my prayer for everybody that's here that's involved with this and for the American people to understand this battle again is just beginning. We have this fight to save our country and it's all good versus evil. We need more God, less devil. And that's my prayer for this country.
Stephen K. Bannon
Ben Berkram, thank you great coverage and send our send our best to the folks there, these great heroes that are on the search and rescue and these parents, these begrieved parents in a community. Kerrville, Texas. We'll be making an announcement about Kerrville tomorrow, something we've been working on with the folks in Kerrville for about a month or two so that we'll we'll have some folks on talk about tomorrow. Ben Berkhwan, thank you, sir. Appreciate you.

Patriot Mobile Glenn Story, we're going to be announcing some other things we're doing with Glenn Story and the folks in Texas. Why Texas got 31 million people. It is the center, the railhead of the MAGA movement. President Trump won the state by 14 points. If we lose Texas, we lose the country. If we lose the country, you're going to lose the world. That's how important Texas is.
Ben Berkwam
I'm not sure I could say that.
Stephen K. Bannon
But any other state in the union as great as the other 49 are, Texas is unique, unique in American history, unique in the imagination of the world.

There's something happening with our farmland here in the United States that isn't getting enough attention. The Chinese have been buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S. farmland. They're also taking control over critical supply chains, things like fertilizer, animal feed and farming equipment.
Stephen K. Bannon
Why?
Ben Berkwam
It's not clear. They're tightening their grip on global food production. That is clear. And if things go south and it could happen quickly, we need to be ready. That's why I trust my Patriot Supply.

Stephen K. Bannon
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. Tom Holman laid it out. 7,000 a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year to get to the number that, that he says Biden let in his watch, which kind of coincides with the number I had.
Ben Berkwam
But hey, Mark Green could be right.
Stephen K. Bannon
The president. Right. I don't care.
Noor Bin Laden
We'll.
Stephen K. Bannon
But it's got to be a minimum of 10 million mass deportations. No amnesty. The opposite. One spectrum's mass amnesty. The other spectrum is mass deportations. We're on this spectrum. We're on this side right here. These are good. This is not good. So if you want to have a good old fashioned throwdown, let's have a good old fashioned throwdown. As Frankie Pantangelo said. And where all business lessons are taken from the Godfather. Let's hit him while we got the strength. Taj Gil, you've been involved in situations. You know how hard search and rescue is. Many of the guys there are Navy Seals, Special Forces, special operators, Green Berets, Army Rangers, Special Forces from the Air Force, Navy. You know, how tough, what kind of strain are these folks going under, sir? Doing it now constantly since Friday morning.
Taj Gil
Yeah, they're going to be under tremendous strain, Steve. One, from the hard work with all the water and debris everywhere. But two, these guys are working around the clock and they're going to be putting a tremendous amount of stress on themselves trying to find missing children and missing families. So these guys are probably exhausted by now. It's Monday. You know, this started Fourth of July night. And then who knows how long this is going to go. So they need, they need to manage their time and manage rotations. Their leadership needs to pull them out and make them rest. Otherwise they're going to become useless because they're just going to exhaust themselves and wear themselves out. So they got to work in shifts and whoever's in charge of them has to make sure they're working in shifts because it's, it's just the, the sleep deprivation alone is going to get you. And then, like I said, this pressure that they're putting on themselves to find missing children, especially, especially with people have parents, you know, they're going to be turning and burning, going after these kids, trying to find them. So it's, it's, it's, it's going to be a very, very stressful environment.
Stephen K. Bannon
Tough. By the way, I skipped Coast Guard and I think the individual's done more Rescue 165 is Coast Guard. So also the Coast Guard. Coast Guard is spectacular at this fact. They go out, Coast Guard goes out to see when other people are coming in. So it's, they're very special. Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
Taj Gil
I said, I saw, I saw this morning one of these Coast Guard guys. I don't know if he's a rescue swimmer or what, but he was responsible personally for the rescue of 165 people so far. I mean, I mean that's, that's insane that this, this guy is like a full blown legit hero. I hope Trump has him up to the White House and gives him a presidential Medal of Freedom for what he's done. It's, this dude is going above and beyond. It's pretty amazing.
Stephen K. Bannon
Incredible. I don't know. I know you just broke decaf. I don't drink decaf and I don't, although a lot of people do. And I now, as I've gotten a little older, I'm very hesitant in drinking coffee in the afternoon show, like I down it in the morning. But it's a day, this is a day. And I think this week is where I'm drinking a lot of coffee at night. Sell me a cup of coffee. Where do I go to get the best coffee in the world?
Taj Gil
Yeah, we have the best coffee in the world like you said, and people are drinking it around the clock. And now we have decaf. We sold a ton of decaf over the weekend. I personally didn't know it was going to be so popular. People have been emailing and asking for it for a while and we, we put it up on the, the day before Filth of July and we sold a lot over the weekend. The website is Warpath Coffee and for the War Room Posse, use promo code War room, Warpath coffee, promo code War Room. And take a look at the reviews when you're on the website. We have over 11,400 five star reviews. People absolutely love the coffee. It's perfectly roasted. We roasted on a perforated drum so we don't burn the beans. That's the key to it. And you don't need milk, you don't need sugar. You can just drink it straight black. And it is the best coffee. No milk, no sugar needed. So you can make it healthy. You can have a healthy cup of black coffee. And we use premium beans and we roast it when it's fresh and we roast it on a perforated drum. That's why it's so good. Most roasters, they burn their beans and they use cheap stale beans. That's why coffee is served with milk and sugar. It's so you can hide the taste of burnt coffee. You don't need that with ours. Jig it straight black. It's amazing. Just go on the website, read the reviews and we've got all different.

Taj Gil
Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.
Stephen K. Bannon
We're going to go from Geneva. We got folks in Brazil about this Brazil situation. President Trump threw down hard today supporting President Yair Bolsonaro. We'll get to that in a moment. First off, I've got Noor Bin Laden and Joe Allen has just arrived in Geneva for this AI conference. But Joe, just give a couple of minute frame for what we're in. Investigation and talking to people and getting more data about this whole thing of seeding and this company, Rainmaker, the controversy of geoengineering. Sir.
Noor Bin Laden
Yes, Steve, this is a horrific disaster and absolutely don't want to exploit it. But there are a lot of questions about the various geoengineering projects going on in Texas and around the world. I myself, I should say right up front, I think geoengineering is a horrible and reckless idea. Whether it be rampant cloud seeding or the more extreme proposals to literally seed the entire atmosphere with reflective particles to cool the entire planet. I think that there's about 8.5 billion of us that have not been consulted about that. But in Texas, you have in Texas, just as you have in South Dakota. All throughout the drier portions of the United States, cloud seeding operations. One of those companies came under scrutiny. Rainmaker. Rainmaker was founded by Augustus Dorco, and he's a young kid, a Peter Thiel fellow. So he got his start with Thiel funding. He also, his company is funded by Balaji Srinivasan, a former Andreessen Horowitz associate. So kind of right leaning, a Christian kid. Anyway, he, his company, Rainmaker, flew a cloud seeding operation on July 2, two days before the massive downpour. And so people are asking questions. Could that have had an effect on the remnants of the tropical storm that hovered over Kerr county the way it did? It's, I think myself, I'm not a meteorologist, nor am I a geoengineer. I think that cloud seeding doesn't really make clouds. It causes them to release rain. And that one, that storm was already releasing rain. I don't really think that Rainmaker caused that, that disaster. There was a very similar flooding disaster, very, very similar in 1987. There was no cloud seeding going on then, to my awareness. So it does raise a lot of questions, though. Did this, does cloud seeding have negative impacts on the environment? You can see the map here. These are all the areas as of 2022 where cloud seeding operations are going on. And if you see the green there, just north of that is Kerr County. The green is the South Texas Weather Modification association, who've been flying missions for about 28 years, I believe since 1996. So again, I think that Ted Cruz's statement that it absolutely didn't happen, I maybe, maybe not. I tend to agree that it probably wasn't cloud seeding. But I also think that these are questions, not answers. And we really need to be raising these questions and getting to the bottom of not just the negative impacts of weather modification.
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah, but we have to start. Yeah, we have to start on this. We have to get scientists, we have to get technologists. We have to find out. We don't know. We don't know, but we got to get to the bottom of it. That's kind of the first question. Is act of God alone or is this act of God that man had some sort of hand in? So we just got to find. And we'll get the experts. We're talking to experts already. But I know you've done a lot of work on this. Like I said, as you know, geoengineering hasn't really been my thing, but we're, we're going to have to make it something we cover in the war room along with, along with other aspects of chemtrails and others. And Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to be on tomorrow about a bill that she's putting up to stop all this in Congress and just said it's not enough science to kind of back it up. What we're doing. Hang on for one second. I'm going to get Noor bin Laden here. Joe Allen is actually in Geneva going all the way from Wyoming and Montana because we're on the. We're all out for this artificial intelligence. Nora, tell us what's going to happen in Geneva over the next couple of days that you're going to be reporting with for us live with Joe Allen, ma'. Am.
Joe Allen
Sure. Thanks, Steve. Great to be with you. So tomorrow kickstarts a conference in Geneva entitled AI for Good. It's being organized by the UN, more specifically the ITU, International Telecommunications Union, which is the UN's specialized agency dealing with information and communication technologies. It's actually the oldest formal international organization in the world, along with the Red Cross. It was started in 1865, and then it was absorbed in the UN following its creation in 1948. So we're dealing with a body here that has been regulating everything that has to do with information technology, communications for a very long time. And they are really at the forefront of putting this conference together on AI. I believe it's the 9th edition, but it's its biggest edition yet. It's being held in one of the biggest convention centers in Switzerland here in Geneva, entitled called Palexpo. And we're expecting a lot of attendees to be here with very important guests. We've been going over the program with Joe, and I'm so delighted that you've, that you've sent him over to Geneva. He's the perfect partner in crime to, to cover this event.
Stephen K. Bannon
Joe, why are they, why is it named AI for Good? That sounds like they're nervous and they're trying to sell us something, sir.
Noor Bin Laden
Oh, they're trying to sell something all right. They're trying to sell AI governance. Now, I think that regulating AI is going to be extraordinarily important going forward, but we'll see. I've seen some of the previous editions of this in previous years from AI for Good, but I think that probably the angle that is going to be overriding this is how do you get global governance of AI? China. I recently learned from Stuart Russell of the Future of Life Institute. China is actually far more keen on regulating AI than the United States and even Europe. They have more regulation in place than both combined. So the fear there would be that China would take the lead in global AI governance and steer it in directions that the US certainly wouldn't want to go along with. I think that's going to be an overarching theme. There's one other theme though, Steve, that is also kind of curious. Some of the most amazing figures that are going to be there, people like Geoffrey Hinton, so called godfather of AI, Yoshua Bengio, also lesser known but kind of rising figure, Roman Yampolsky. These guys are extraordinarily pessimistic about where AI is going. These guys have what is known as very high levels of P doom, very high probabilities that AI leads to doom. So it's a, it's an interesting juxtaposition to have these very kind of pessimistic thinkers, even if they're pro technology and kind of very terrified of AI at AI for good.
Stephen K. Bannon
Can you guys hang on? I know it's late there, but I want to take a short break. I've got Eduardo Bolsonaro this breaking news, massive news coming out of Brazil with President Trump and Morales, the head of the Supreme Court President Trump throws down hard today. Eduardo Bolsonaro and Paulo Filo are going to join us. Next we've got in Geneva, we've got Noor Bin Laden and our own Joe Allen who are covering AI conference. A massive AI conference. AI for good. We're gonna get back and get it all done next in the world.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. Okay, tomorrow we're going to be going back to Brazil to Rio. Philip Patrick says he's got a bunch of information he just gave me from this morning show. Make sure you go to birchgold.com fact take your phone out and text Bannon B A N N O N 989-898 Right now you get the ultimate guide to investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump. And we know from what's happening in Rio with Lula and that crew down there that central banks will be buying more gold than ever. Highly likely. Go check it out. Go find out what gold is a hedge against fiat currency. Check it out. Today, Eduardo Bolsonaro, President Trump, when he comes in, he comes in hard. He put out a true social today. That's a brutal takedown of Morales. I know the guy that you have stood up as your father's on trial in this very unjust situation and really called out Morales. President Trump went right there and said Brazil is doing a terrible thing on the treatment of former President Bolsonaro. President talks about watching it says terribly unfair and that there are going to be consequences. He wants the witch hunt against your father to stop. And he says the only contest they should be talking about is a contest where your father is eligible, not just put in prison, but also where they're trying to kill him, but actually have a race where he can be that he can get in. He's beaten Lula like a drum right now in the polling. And the reason that's why they've got him on trial. The only thing in this I disagree with President Trump because it's brilliantly written. He does say the election, the last election was lost. We in the war room are absolutely adamant. The election was stolen from Bolsonaro by these communist Marxist criminals of Lula and Morales. And Morales actually worse than Lula. Your thoughts, sir? Today as President Trump finally makes a very public announcement. I understand in Brazil, Lula has already responded to it, that in Brazil, it's created a firestorm, sir.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Yeah, things in Brazil are really on fire. Everybody's talking about this post of President Trump and is bringing a lot of hope to the people because everybody in Brazil believes that we do not have tools anymore inside of the country to fight back against all of against this lawfare. Because it's not only about Bolsonaro, for sure. My father is leading the polls. Even some pool says that if the election was today, he would beat Lula at the first round, which means that he has more than 50% of the votes of the country. But you have hundreds and hundreds of people in jail because a protest that went Too far already January 8th of 2023, and some other people that are under persecution. You have journalist exiles that are leaving exile here in the United States. As Alan dos Santos, Rodrigo Costantino Leopoldo Figueiredo judges me the most voted ever congressman in the history of Brazil. I'm living now here United States, because I cannot go back home. Because this judge, he was ready to seize my passport. And the thing is, they're talking that it was because the connections that I had here inside of the Congress, in the White House, which means that they are declaring the United States government as a criminal organization. So this is very serious. And more than that, you have even the censorship cases. This man, the judge Moraes, the justice from the Supreme Court, he also sued arrest warranty against an American citizen because posting from the US soil. So what else do you need to show to the world that this guy must. He needs to be stopped. Someone have to stop him. And we really hope that Trump can do that through OFAC sanctions.
Stephen K. Bannon
Let's talk about the OFAC sanctions because Morales is one of the worst people on the world stage right now and he must be dealt with. Talk to me about what's so important about because people should know there's a lot of activity going on behind the scenes. Why is it so important to get an OFAC sanction against Morales and some of these criminals in Lula's government?
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Sir, because in the Supreme Court of Brazil, we have 11 justices and no one believes that the other 10 justices, despite that some of them are supporting backing Moraes for all of these actions. No one believes that they could get the censorship flag and go on. Some of them, they are going a couple of years, they are going to be retired. No one wants to go to be retired and live with sanctions on them. So we really believe that OFAC sanctions is the right medicine against this virus. But the problem is, if United States, if the Trump administration thinks they take a little bit longer, then the regime will be consolidated and it will be really hard to apply these sanctions with some effects. I mean, it would be like Venezuela, Venezuela nowadays you can apply sanctions and it does not change the things in Brazil. We are still in a moment that these sanctions could stop. They should become so aggressive against their political opponents.
Stephen K. Bannon
And you should know that there's a huge undertaking here in the United States to make sure this happens. We think the criminal element down in Brazil that's look, we're convinced stole the election should be brought to justice. And the first way to do it is not let them have access to the United States of America, also bring sanctions against them. We have to do that. And we're pushing the wars, pushing very hard for that to happen. Eduardo, I'd like you to stay through the break and Paulo, stay through the break. I've got Noor bin Laden. Have Joe Allen in Geneva. Jack Basobe is going to join us. Mark Caputo from Axios is going to start amazing, amazing revelations about the CIA. I know that may shock some people. Also Netanyahu, I think, is about to show up at the White House. There's going to be a dinner tonight. Not a lot of fanfare about it. I want to go to one thing. I got about a minute here. Eduardo, if for any reason your father can't run and the whole purpose of what we're trying to do is to make sure that he can run. But it's quite interesting. I just saw a poll this afternoon, sir. Eduardo, you also are leading Lula. Any observations on that? I tell you what, hang on. I want that observation to come after the break. So we have President Bolsonaro is leading Lula. That's why he's on trial, because this is the way they do it. Just like here in the United States, like they did in France. They can't win at the ballot box. They have to either steal elections or try to jail their opponents. This is throughout the world. But what's most fascinating in the Great awakening in Brazil, Eduardo now leads Lula and Lula is down there making, showing his true Marxist nature, trying to unite these enemies of the west and the enemies of the Judeo Christian, Christian west and the enemies of the United States on this brics. And President Trump sent a shot across the battle of Morales and he sent a shot across the bow of Lula. He said, hey, brother, anybody that teams up on this, I'm gonna add another 10% on tariffs, see if you guys can exist like that. Don't think a lot of folks can be signed up for the bricks. As Philip Patrick told you today at Birch Gold, they're trying to get around, keep the dollarization movement under a lid. Short commercial break the second hour more.
Ben Berkwam

Bannon's War Room – Episode 4614: Lies Of Mass Amnesty Release Date: July 7, 2025
In Episode 4614 of Bannon's War Room, host Stephen K. Bannon delves into the contentious debate surrounding immigration policy in the United States, the escalating political crisis in Brazil, shifts in global financial power structures, and emerging concerns about geoengineering and artificial intelligence. This comprehensive summary captures the episode's essential discussions, insights, and conclusions, enriched with notable quotes and timestamps for deeper context.
The episode opens with a critical examination of President Donald Trump's newly signed legislation, which includes significant tax cuts and a substantial allocation of $175 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Charlie Kirk highlights the paradox emerging from the bill:
"Now we need mass amnesty. What? [00:00]"
— Charlie Kirk
Kirk expresses surprise and concern that despite the bill's emphasis on border security and deportations, influential figures are advocating for mass legalization of undocumented immigrants. This contradiction sets the stage for a broader discussion on the future of U.S. immigration policy.
Stephen K. Bannon and Ben Berkwam engage in a heated dialogue about the internal pressures facing President Trump. They argue that while the administration is committed to mass deportations, there is a clandestine movement pushing for amnesty, which threatens to fracture the conservative coalition.
"If you want to break our coalition, go and push amnesty, that right there would be a complete collapse of everything that we have worked for, everything. [07:17]"
— Stephen K. Bannon
Bannon underscores the fragility of the current political unity, emphasizing that succumbing to amnesty demands could undermine the administration's accomplishments and lead to significant policy reversals.
A significant portion of the episode focuses on the tumultuous political landscape in Brazil. Eduardo Bolsonaro, Jair Bolsonaro's son, discusses the ongoing legal battles against his father and the broader implications for Brazilian democracy.
Eduardo Bolsonaro states:
"We're living now in the United States because I cannot go back home. Because this judge, he was ready to seize my passport. And the thing is, they're talking that it was because the connections that I had here inside of the Congress, in the White House, which means that they are declaring the United States government as a criminal organization. [49:19]"
— Eduardo Bolsonaro
Stephen K. Bannon responds by emphasizing the need for U.S. intervention through sanctions to support Bolsonaro and counteract what he describes as illegitimate actions by Lula and Morales.
"We think the criminal element down in Brazil that's look, we're convinced stole the election should be brought to justice. [50:10]"
— Stephen K. Bannon
The discussion highlights the geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Brazil, especially concerning the legitimacy of political leaders and the influence of global powers like the BRICS nations.
The podcast touches upon the BRICS summit held in Rio de Janeiro, where emerging superpowers China, Russia, India, and Persia aim to dethrone the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency—a move termed the Rio Reset.
Ben Berkwam warns of the potential financial instability this could trigger:
"The Rio reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards inevitable reality. [15:00]"
— Ben Berkwam
Bannon encourages listeners to consider diversifying investments into gold as a hedge against the diminishing value of the dollar, reinforcing the narrative of economic self-reliance amidst global uncertainties.
A controversial topic discussed is the suspected link between geoengineering practices and recent natural disasters. Noor Bin Laden explores theories that cloud seeding operations by companies like Rainmaker may have exacerbated the catastrophic flooding in Texas.
"Rainmaker flew a cloud seeding operation on July 2, two days before the massive downpour. Could that have had an effect on the remnants of the tropical storm? [36:06]"
— Noor Bin Laden
Stephen K. Bannon expresses skepticism yet insists on thorough investigations to determine whether human intervention played a role in the disaster.
"We have to get scientists, we have to get technologists. We have to find out. We don't know. [39:08]"
— Stephen K. Bannon
This segment raises alarms about the ethical and environmental implications of geoengineering, advocating for greater transparency and regulation.
The episode also covers the upcoming AI for Good conference in Geneva, organized by the United Nations' International Telecommunications Union (ITU). Joe Allen provides insights into the conference's agenda, highlighting concerns about global governance of artificial intelligence.
Joe Allen remarks:
"China is actually far more keen on regulating AI than the United States and even Europe. They have more regulation in place than both combined. [41:38]"
— Joe Allen
Noor Bin Laden adds that prominent AI experts attending the conference express significant worries about the potential existential threats posed by uncontrolled AI development.
"These guys are extraordinarily pessimistic about where AI is going. [43:35]"
— Noor Bin Laden
Bannon underscores the necessity of scrutinizing AI advancements to prevent misuse and ensure they align with societal well-being.
Throughout the episode, Stephen K. Bannon emphasizes the importance of maintaining steadfast conservative principles in the face of multifaceted challenges—be it immigration reform, international political strife, financial upheaval, or technological advancements.
"If we want to have a good old fashioned throwdown, let's have a good old fashioned throwdown. [30:31]"
— Stephen K. Bannon
Bannon calls for unity among his listeners to resist policies and forces that threaten the nation's integrity and prosperity, advocating for proactive measures to safeguard America's future.
