Excerpts from the April 1, 2021 interview in Beck’s Dallas, Texas studio:

Beck: “You have a book out called America’s covert border war, and it details what is really going on and coming across our border at any given time. And the details are actually quite terrifying because … once the news stops talking about it – like the only time we ever seem to have a problem with rising gas prices when the news tells us we should have a problem with rising gas prices. And they’re not telling us what’s coming across the borders. So, give us a look at what’s happening at any given time on our border and who’s coming across.

Bensman: “To start with, all year every year there is a stream, a flow, a river of immigrants who are coming to the southern border from countries of national security interest – people from the Middle East, South Asia – think Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen – northern Africa, Somalia… All of the Muslim-majority nations. That is not a gigantic population coming across but it’s significant. These days it’s probably right around three or four thousand a year being apprehended, that we know of, being counted at the border. And that flow of people has given rise to a national security enterprise and counterterrorism programs that were built to deal with it, to try to detect jihadists in that flow and to neutralize them. And that’s not just at the actual border but throughout Latin America and South America. Those are the passageways, the routes to the border. It gets pretty complicated about how they are able to do that but, for sure, it is a topic that is taboo in the regular media. Nobody ever wants to talk about it. And when anybody does, man, look out.”
