STEVE BANNON (HOST): Bensman, you see right there what the problem is. You see the media all — every — he took 5 or 6 questions, each one's a hectoring question about well, how'd you know? Why'd you use a twenty year law? Hey, because they're criminals and they're going, OK? And we don't wanna hear any whining about it. Any whining, we'll send you with them too.
People are tired of this. This is a invasion of our country. These are some depraved, degenerate, criminals that are here preying on innocent people, many of whom are minorities. Because these guys infiltrate those neighborhoods. We're trying to protect American citizens, particularly folks that don't have the individual wealth to hire security forces or security guards or lived in gated communities.
Todd Bensman, you saw it right there, bro. This is not gonna be easy and this is the worst of the worst. They're arguing against — the media is hectoring about MS-13 and these other gangs, right? Your thoughts, sir?
TODD BENSMAN (GUEST): Well, yeah, it was kind of fun to see Homan just turn his back on them and say, see you later man, you guys are idiots. But you know what they're looking for, you're right, this is information war. What they really, really want, the big gold nugget in the pan for them, is to find someone who wasn't really solidly Tren de Aragua or MS-13 or might have been just like some gardener or something who'd never been in trouble. That's what they're looking for.
BANNON: Big deal, big deal. Let them find a golden nugget, big deal. I don't care if they find a whole pan of gold nuggets. Maybe some people got caught up in it. Who knows? But you wanna get the bulk of them out. They try to do their best. I think they got everybody who was a bad guy, but guess what? If there's some innocent gardeners in there? Hey, tough break for a swell guy. That's where we stand. We're getting these criminals out of the United States.
You have the hectoring media. This is why I would throw the media out of the West Wing. I think you throw them out, you put them over at EOB, you let them out on occasions, but that's just hectoring of a government official. Think about that. If that happened in World War II, we would have never won, OK? That is bottom line. The hectoring media is an arm of the deep state. The deep state is upset about this, Bensman.
BENSMAN: Right, well, remember that the American people in large majorities support the deportations of especially criminal aliens. That's like in the 70, 80 percentile, and a majority have supported even, you know, shipping out the gardeners, the non-criminal housemaids and that sort of thing as well. What the media, that's particularly that gaggle right there, what they really need — to feel that they need to do is erode that support to get those numbers down below 50% and maybe even further if they possibly can through the use of information, disinformation. So just be ready for that. I've been warning about that.
