Chapter 1: What is the main issue regarding ICE and protests in Minnesota?
Weird, though, right? Yeah, I think so. Look, I mean, here's what's weird about it, Tim, is that he knows you have to work together.
But it is a strange thing as an individual human being. You know, he calls me the R word. He says, you know, he makes up things that I'm corrupt, like there's something seriously wrong with this guy. And then you get a call that, you know, we got to work together. That's what...
and look i'm probably guilty of that too because i i call them things i just think i can probably back my my comments up a little bit but i think and this is where i am very hopeful um for the president to make that call to tell me he will look into giving us back the cases you know partnering with them and reducing the numbers um I'm not going to say I'm grateful because you started this fire.
You don't get credit for putting it out after you started it. But I am going to say, especially in these times, that they are working for a solution. And again... I won't pretend to look into their hearts. I think I know on this.
I just care that they end up in the same place where I want to end up is quit hassling our citizens, follow the Constitution, get these folks out of here and make the folks who shot Alex and Renee accountable for what they did. I don't think it's a pullback. It's a little bit of a change. You know, Bovino is very good, but he's a pretty out there kind of a guy. And in some cases, that's good.
Maybe it wasn't good here.
other cities to form groups they're calling ice watchers and that keep tabs on known and suspected DHS vehicles and then film and record encounters just as Alex Freddie was doing when he was killed by border patrol agents right here on Saturday. Today I got the chance to ride along with ice watch volunteers on the patrol and learn about what they face when they encounter federal agents.
Now we're not going to show their faces to protect their identities
Our drivers are two individuals who came out with us this afternoon. They told us what they've seen over the past three months. What have your interactions been like when you have been around ICE or CBP, grabbing people or out?

Chapter 2: How are local volunteers interacting with federal agents?
The state investigated Emmett Till. You know, the state investigated the black citizens of Black Wall Street in the massacre, in the Tulsa massacre, right? We know what they're doing because this isn't new. The government is investigating the victim.
because they want to find a reason to say that he was asking for it, that the mother with a dog in her back seat and stuffed animals out of her in her in her glove compartment, that she was the aggressor, that that the ICU nurse who was clearly trying to protect a woman who was being pepper sprayed and who was then thrown to the ground and was beaten. that he was the perpetrator.
And we've seen this playbook before. It was a dark time in American history. And for those people who thought that we had moved beyond that dark time and that the federal government would no longer do this kind of thing, In those instances of state government, now the federal government, we haven't moved that far beyond. And yeah, there are court fights going on in all these places.
And I'm happy, I'm proud to say my law firm and I were in those cases side by side with those states in every 24 of those jurisdictions. And that the Trump Department of Justice is 0 for 3. But we know when they can't win in court, they're going to resort to violence. We saw that on January 6th. And we need to know going forward that there will be some rules.
There needs to be an independent investigation, for goodness sakes. There has to be an investigation. If this happened on a police force, the officers, whether or not they committed anything wrong, would immediately be put on administrative leave and there would be an investigation.
But I don't know who trusts an investigation to be done by DHS when they're the ones calling this person an assassin, a would-be assassin, a domestic terrorist, saying he was assaulted by the police. How can they be in charge of an independent investigation? Something's got to happen here. Okay, so who else could conduct the investigation then? If it's not DHS, who's going to do it?
I think that's a good question. Within police bodies, you know, most police are not elected. Some sheriffs are elected. A lot of sheriffs are. But there are independent police organizations that review these things. And look, I'm not one saying the officers are guilty of anything criminal. They, in all likelihood, were trying to do their job, but in all likelihood, this is going to be a tragedy.
I mean, it is a tragedy. I mean, I think the guns were prematurely drawn and prematurely fired after a gun had already left the scene. I think someone was shouting, gun, gun, gun, and they were worried that maybe the perpetrator had it when, indeed, one of their own agents had it.

Chapter 3: What challenges do ICE watch volunteers face during encounters?
So it was a mistake. But if we don't say it was a mistake, if we show this is... This is just jolly well and good. He was a terrorist. People aren't going to accept that. You want Minnesota to calm down? We have to show that there's a just and independent investigation here.
You know, Minnesota's in the news a lot, but what they don't say is that Minnesota has low numbers because of the fact that we took thousands of hardened criminals out of Minnesota. So they had good crime numbers, believe it or not. And that's all working out. You know, we have Tom Homan there now. We put him in there. He's great.
And they met with the governor, the mayor, everybody else, and we're going to de-escalate a little bit. This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.
It's Wednesday, 28 January, Year of Alert 2026. MACA is not breaking over this. Of course, everything's bending a little bit, but not going to break by a long shot. We're anti-fragile and we're resilient. Been through these before. We'll get this sorted. President Trump and just coming hot off the press. Because I think he's getting a belly full of it again. I turned a true social and I quote.
This is from the president. Surprisingly, Mayor Jacob Fry just stated that Minneapolis does not and will not enforce federal immigration laws, end quote. This is after having had a very good conversation with him. Could somebody in his inner sanctum please explain that this statement is a very serious violation of the law and he is playing with fire, all cap. All Waltz and Fry have done

Chapter 4: How does the federal government respond to protests and investigations?
You have to have Tiger teams of prosecutors. I think they've had 12 prosecutors quit the Minneapolis office. That's fine. Nobody's forcing you to work. But surge other prosecutors, the FBI. Where are the pipe hitters? Where's Department of War? Where's an entire, whole-of-government approach?
You can't put a handful of Customs and Borders and ICE agents there and let them be surrounded every night by domestic violent terrorists. This is inflection point. You blink now and you're going to blink forever. You bend the knee now, you'll bend the knee forever. If we stand in the breach and say, screw you, we're fighting for the country. Right?
And I don't care how many people I got to deport. I don't care. If the families are there and they're there illegally and we want to keep them together, guess what? You're going to have to round up some five-year-olds with their parents. But they're going home. And home ain't the United States. I don't care how long they've been here on Biden's watch law-abiding. That's not the point.
They're here illegally. We can't afford it. African-Americans, Hispanic-American citizens, the white working class. Their lives are being destroyed. Their education systems, their health care, their jobs are being taken. Their wages are being driven down. They're American citizens. And illegal alien invaders are not American citizens. That's a bright line.
And somebody's got to be clarifying that. Because MAGA ain't backing down. We're not in the back down business. Eric Prince, Mike Howe, next in the war room. There's a lot of politicians that should be getting coal in their stockings for Christmas, but Birch Gold thinks as a smart planner, you deserve silver.
That's why for every $5,000 you purchase between now and December 22nd, Birch Gold will send you an ounce of silver free. Remember, silver is up over 60% this year and over $60 an ounce. You see, smart people diversify and have a hedge. That's why I encourage you to buy gold from Birch Gold. With the rate cuts from the Fed in 2026, the dollar will be worth less.
And what happens if the AI bubble burst? Diversify. Let Birch Gold Group help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold. Let me repeat that. Physical gold. And for every $5,000 you buy, you'll get an ounce of silver for your stocking or for your kids. What a great way to teach them about saving smartly.
Just text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898 to claim your eligibility for this offer. Again, text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898 today because Birch Gold's free silver with qualifying purchase promotion ends today. The 22nd of December of this year.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of Stephen Miller's statements on immigration enforcement?
Do it today. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. It was yesterday and they're texting each other that was picked up in their social media. They're calling it their Fallujah. They're pouring in every like the chat scenes. Everybody went in for second Fallujah. That's where we made the film. You can't send, this is like we left troops in Iraq.
You send them in and again, you send them into places, a couple hundred troops, and then you leave them. It has to be a whole of government approach, a whole of government. It's a complicated situation. And yes, we do want to handle it as humanely as possible. Underline as possible. But they're all going. They're all going.
Because once they know they're all going, they're going to leave themselves. You have to have resolve. The 300 are like the guys at Den Ben Phu. The Frenchies put them in there, or you deal with the North Vietnamese at that time. You just deal with it. You can have it. It doesn't work like that. This is what we did in Vietnam. This is what we did in Iraq. It can't happen.
And President Trump's getting a belly full of already. He understands he's getting bad information. He just told Fry on True Social, yo, dude, you call me up. We have these good conversations. They come out. You're not going to enforce immigration law. They're sanctuary. Mr. President, Fry is a deceptive. This is the type of the beta male that the communists feed off of.
You got a whole city of beta males. They're too gutless to confront you in a conversation. No, no, Mr. President, this is what we're going to do. They'll worm around, and then they'll come out on public radio, and they'll talk smack. The buried lead that ain't so buried in President Trump's true social, you're playing with fire, all cap, exclamation point. You're playing with fire.
Homan's out there. He's a safe pair of hands, although I'm a Bovino guy. Bovina was fine. Bovina was in the middle of it. And you can't sit there later and say, you know, we're looking at the techniques. Maybe the techniques are in. Come on, man. You can't turn the investigation over these hyenas. Look what they did in the Black Lives Matter situation.
Then you had jurors lying to get on the jury. Come on. Grow up. Let's face real. See what you see. We have lots of victories here. There's going to be lots of victories. And victory begets victory. They're in a role right now. Right? That can turn quickly. Mike Howe, big Daily Mail story that we're banning all this because of your interview the other day. It's far from it.
The Howes, the Princes, we've got Eric Prince next, the War Room, banning all of them. We got the president's back just saying you're getting bad information. And some people are starting to blink. Hey, if you blink, that's fine. These are these defining moments. This is the Billy Bush moment on the campaign when they all want to wet themselves and want to run away. Hey, here's what I said.
Here's what we do. We double and triple down. Screw them. The country doesn't give a crap about locker room talk. Screw them and drive to victory. And if you're too weak, get the frick out of the way. Mike Pence, you're going to send a letter. McConnell and Paul Ryan, get the hell out of the way. It's time now for resolve and focus and determination. Mike Cowell, what do you got for us?

Chapter 6: How does the discussion shift to the role of the federal government in investigations?
So let's help you keep that one. you're going to acknowledge that two things kind of got us into these low numbers. One is the DHS mass communications without mass deportations. They've needlessly been doing Democrat propaganda for them without following through on getting big numbers. That comes to an end. Issue number two is a lot of people said we're going to do the worst of the worst first.
Criminals, right? Republicans took that and the pollsters, the consultants, and the Democrats to mean that's all you're allowed to do. Well, you say that stage is over. We got enough criminals. We are opening the aperture of enforcement broadly to everybody. We don't care if you're a criminal. We care if you're here illegally. We leave the criminals for other law enforcement entities.
And so you say... I'm going to be maniacally focused on the numbers, getting commas in the deportation numbers to get them into the millions, going off like a jackpot machine in Las Vegas. And to accomplish that, this is going to be a whole of government exercise. I'm going to creatively apply every lever the federal government has.
I'm going to charge every military age male illegal alien in the United States for failing to register for the draft and give them an option to go to prison for five years or or take a flight home. I'm gonna bring in Eric Prince to do things like the bounty program for people to rat them out, or if others don't, if they wanna leave, we're gonna get you paid to leave.
I'm gonna send OSHA inspectors in to look at worksite conditions that may employ illegals. By the way, also corporate industry, your amnesty for not enforcing worksite is over. We're going in, so tell them to get out before we get there. Finally, politically, I understand that there was a jailbreak of RINOs, senators, and congressmen. I'm not going to tolerate that.
Congressman Mike Lawler, your endorsement is revoked for pushing the amnesty at this moment, trying to take advantage of this time and join with the Democrats. And I'm going to go down the line and say, no, America first is what we promised. And damn well, we're going to implement it. And I don't care if CNN doesn't like it. I don't care if the RINOs don't like it. We got a country to save.
And damn it, I'm going to do it.
Mike Hal, where can people follow you? Social media and other websites, sir.
Yep. I'm on X at M how tweets and oversight projects at it's your government.
