War Room’s Steve Bannon discussed combating the cartels with potential paramilitary operations. President Trump had designated the cartels a terrorist organization for their drug smuggling and human trafficking operations.
Todd Bensman (the previous day) was telling Bannon that the cartels had the human smuggling part of their operation stopped since President Trump sealed the border. He explained that fentanyl and other drugs was mostly what they had left to profit off of.
“The only thing they have left now is fentanyl and drugs,” Bensman said.
“I think things are gonna go kinetic. I have a source that is a really good source. I’m not gonna obviously say who it is, are telling me that there is tabletop planning right now for the immediate future to using US intelligence and certain Mexican units to go kinetic on narcotics depots, on fentanyl labs and places like that,” Bensman said.
“These cartels are money hungry, they’re brazen, they are incredibly well armed, from making billions and billions of dollars on the human smuggling for four years. What do you think they did with that money? They invested it in arms,” Bensman continued.
“They are not just gonna sit back there and lose their drug business. Not without a fight. So, I anticipate some fireworks,” Bensman continued.
After that, footage from ABC News showed Border Czar Tom Homan warning the cartels that if they harm our Border Patrol or our soldiers that they will be dealt with severely.
“Let me give the cartels a warning: If you kill a border agent or a soldier, the whole world is gonna come down on you,” Homan said.
Bannon said that since President Trump designated the cartels as terrorist organizations that it will be able to stop them at the financial level and also stop them with paramilitary operations.
“President Trump designated the cartels as terrorist organizations, to allow us to go to all types of things about stopping their financing, but particularly the ability to go kinetic,” Bannon said.
“It’s gonna go kinetic cause these cartels have to be broken to stop the fentanyl, to stop the human trafficking, but to also send a signal there is a new sheriff in town,” Bannon said.
Bannon also said that net job growth over the last five years did not benefit the American citizen.
“100 percent of net job growth in the last five years had gone to non-citizens, not people, not native-born Americans,” Bannon said.
