WATCH: Ben Bergquam Catches Live Cartel Coyote Apprehension At Southern Border

Ben Bergquam and Steve Bannon discussed the significant shift in border enforcement since President Trump’s return to office in 2025. Bergquam, reporting from the New Mexico-Texas border, highlighted the drastic reduction in illegal crossings—from 2,500 per day to under 100 in his sector—due to the administration’s policies. He credited the crackdown on parole releases, the end of CBP One processing, and ICE’s intensified deportation efforts.

Despite improvements, cartel activity remains rampant. Bergquam showed live footage of smugglers and illegal migrants attempting to evade Border Patrol, underscoring the ongoing battle at the border. He noted the presence of U.S. military assets supporting Border Patrol, while Mexican enforcement remains performative mainly.

Bannon questioned why the military presence wasn’t even more significant, given past chaos in key trafficking areas. Bergquam emphasized that the cartel’s influence over Mexico remains strong, but the difference now is America’s posture: strict enforcement and deportations are discouraging illegal crossings.

They also discussed internal resistance within the U.S. government. Bergquam suggested leaks from agencies like the FBI and HSI have hindered enforcement efforts. Meanwhile, ICE faces logistical challenges in rounding up migrants previously released under Biden-era policies, making mass deportations a complex task.

Bannon and Bergquam concluded that cutting funding to NGOs aiding illegal immigration and removing taxpayer-funded benefits for illegals—mainly through Medicaid cuts—are necessary next steps to fully secure the border and dismantle the incentives driving illegal migration.

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom Forced To Veto $50 Million Illegal Alien Sanctuary Bill

Steve Bannon discussed President Trump’s aggressive strategy in 2025 to dismantle the administrative state, enforce strict immigration policies, and challenge the Deep State. He highlighted the success of Trump’s reinstated travel ban, significantly reducing terrorism threats. Bannon framed the ongoing legal and bureaucratic battles as an effort to slow Trump down, citing court resistance and agency leaks undermining enforcement.

He pointed to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s partial retreat on sanctuary cities as a victory for Trump’s policies, emphasizing that federal funds would be withheld until full cooperation. Bannon also called out cities like New York and Chicago for resisting deportation efforts, linking federal charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams to his shift on sanctuary policies.

Bannon stressed the need for $175 billion to fully secure the border and ramp up deportations of 12 million illegal migrants. He argued that elites in New York City were using a rigged system to obstruct Trump’s agenda and called for a hardline approach to clear out entrenched opposition in the Southern District of New York. Bannon framed Trump’s leadership as a confrontation with globalist forces, requiring unwavering resolve to implement his vision.

Bannon: "We’re Prepared To Be An Ally But NOT An Underwriter”

Steve Bannon criticized budget discussions as theoretical, emphasizing real-time spending cuts. He promoted CPAC as a platform for engagement and condemned the Munich Security Conference as a “Davos for arms merchants.” Bannon highlighted JD Vance’s speech, which called out Europe’s elite for failing to address mass migration, arguing that internal decay is a more significant threat than Russia or China. He asserted that the U.S. under President Trump would no longer act as Europe’s protector. Bannon framed these positions as core to the MAGA movement, rejecting globalist influence and prioritizing America First policies over foreign entanglements.

Professor Nalapat: USAID And The CCP Have The Same Objectives

Professor Madhav Nalapat and Steve Bannon discussed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s trip to the U.S. and the geopolitical dynamics surrounding it. Nalapat emphasized that Trump’s second term would differ significantly from his first, having exposed interference by organizations like USAID in India’s politics. He argued that USAID and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) share a common goal of destabilizing nations, including India, through social media influence.

Regarding global tensions, Nalapat warned against pushing Russia further into China’s orbit and stressed the need for military deterrence to prevent a CCP-led kinetic conflict. He highlighted Modi’s strategy of keeping Russia neutral while focusing on expanding U.S.-India trade to $500 billion, despite opposition from liberal lobbies. Nalapat also underscored India’s economic challenges, particularly in agriculture and job creation, warning against unemployment-driven extremism. He praised Trump’s understanding of these issues and Modi’s diplomatic handling of U.S.-India relations.

Rep. Biggs: "No DOGE Cuts And Keeping Same Biden Programs In Place”

Steve Bannon and Rep. Andy Biggs discussed the looming government shutdown, the budget crisis, and the lack of real spending cuts in fiscal planning. Bannon criticized the continuing resolution (CR), which would maintain Biden-era spending levels into Trump’s 2025 presidency, resulting in a $2 trillion deficit. He emphasized that no significant spending cuts, including those related to Elon Musk’s initiatives (referred to as “Doge Cuts”), are included. Biggs expressed frustration, arguing that previously passed appropriations bills should be reintroduced to incorporate spending reductions. He pointed out that Congress has relied on CRs 36 times in the past decade, leading to stagnation in budgetary reform. Both lamented House Speaker Mike Johnson’s failure to push meaningful cuts, warning of backlash from conservative voters. Biggs urged supporters to stay engaged via his website and social media. Bannon ended by praising Biggs as a committed advocate for fiscal responsibility.

Bergquam: "This Was The Catalyst That Changed The Hispanic Vote”

Ben Bergquam and Steve Bannon revisited the privately funded border wall in Sunland Park, New Mexico, highlighting it as one of the greatest engineering achievements of the 21st century. Bergquam, reporting from the site, emphasized the wall’s symbolic and strategic importance, noting that it was built by patriots to counter cartel influence and illegal immigration. Bannon credited the project to Brian Kolfage, a triple-amputee veteran, and dismissed claims that such a wall was impossible, calling it superior to government-funded sections.

Bergquam reflected on the wall’s impact, stating it was a defining moment for War Room, Real America’s Voice, and conservative grassroots efforts. He underscored how the mainstream media and Democrats opposed the project while working-class Hispanic Americans in Texas and New Mexico overwhelmingly supported it. He noted that Trump’s commitment to border security won over many Hispanic voters, leading to major electoral shifts in the Rio Grande Valley and beyond.

With President Trump back in office in 2025, Bergquam and Bannon celebrated the return to strong border policies, lamenting the four years of inaction under Biden. They pointed out that Democrats prioritized impeaching Trump over securing the border, ultimately alienating Hispanic and Black communities.

Bannon concluded by recalling how War Room Impeachment was launched from this movement, setting the stage for Trump’s political resurgence. They insisted that the fight was never just about a wall—it was about securing America’s sovereignty and restoring faith in leadership.
