Bannon: “If They Were That Afraid Of Russia They Would Pay For Their Own Defense”

Steve Bannon’s comments highlight a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy under President Trump, emphasizing an end to America’s role as Europe’s security guarantor. He supports Vice President JD Vance’s speech, which underscored that Europe’s true enemy is not Russia or China, but itself—due to mass migration and weak defense spending. Bannon argues that if Europe feared Russia, it would invest more in its own defense rather than relying on U.S. military support.

He criticizes the continued U.S. funding of the Ukraine war, calling it unnecessary and costly. Bannon praises President Trump’s strategy of engaging Putin and Xi in direct negotiations, potentially reducing military spending by 50%, which he sees as a solution to the budget crisis. He envisions a new defense posture from Panama to Greenland, reassessing America’s $900 billion defense budget.

Bannon celebrates the unapologetic tone of Vance’s speech, which called out European elites and supported rising nationalist movements like Alternative for Germany. He asserts that President Trump will dictate the terms of any Ukraine settlement, cutting U.S. involvement entirely. Ultimately, Bannon’s message is clear: Europe must stand on its own, and America will no longer be its protector.

Anthony Aguero Shares Critical Updates On Mexican Cartel Activity And Border Patrol Efforts

Steve Bannon, Ben Bergquam, and Anthony Aguero discussed the current state of border security under President Trump in 2025, focusing on the impact of his administration’s enforcement policies. Broadcasting from the U.S.-Mexico border near El Paso, Texas, they highlighted significant reductions in illegal crossings due to the reinstatement of strict immigration policies, stronger border patrol presence, and advanced surveillance technology, including drones and blimps.

Aguero noted that during Biden’s presidency, the area had seen high levels of cartel activity, including drug and human trafficking. However, Trump’s policies have drastically reduced these incursions, with border patrol now able to act decisively. He credited the administration for eliminating many smuggling routes. However, the Catholic Diocese’s refusal to allow continued wall construction on their property remains a point of frustration.

Bergquam emphasized that while the number of illegal crossings had dropped significantly—from thousands daily to fewer than 100—cartels remain active. They are adapting by finding new ways to traffic people and drugs. He pointed out that morale among border patrol agents is high, as they are finally empowered to do their jobs. Many of these agents, including former special forces personnel, are committed to restoring American sovereignty.

The conversation also touched on the financial burden of illegal immigration. The cost to taxpayers is estimated at $175 billion, draining social services such as Medicaid. Bergquam argued that cutting off financial incentives, such as welfare and employment opportunities for illegal immigrants, would lead to mass self-deportations.

Finally, they criticized Mexico’s government for failing to combat cartel influence, describing it as a "narco-state” where corruption is rampant. While Mexico occasionally performs security operations for optics, it generally allows cartels to operate freely. The solution, they concluded, lies in cutting off illegal immigration funding and empowering ICE to remove criminal aliens.

Paulo Figueiredo Exposes Corrupt Brazilian Government’s Plot To Imprison Bolsonaro For 20+ Years

Paulo Figueiredo discussed the political persecution of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who faces indictment over alleged involvement in the January 8, 2023, protests—an event akin to the U.S. January 6 incident. Figueiredo highlighted Brazil’s fully electronic, centralized voting system, controlled by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, whom he accused of rigging the 2022 election. The protests that followed were used to justify mass arrests and lawfare against Bolsonaro and his allies, including Figueiredo himself. He revealed that U.S. deep state actors were involved in Brazil’s censorship and legal crackdown, drawing parallels to Trump’s situation in America. Bolsonaro, leading in polls for the 2026 election, is being targeted to prevent his return to power, with fears that his imprisonment could lead to assassination. If successful, this maneuver would solidify Brazil’s shift toward China, posing significant geopolitical consequences.
