Ken Paxton chimes in. Ben Shapiro chimes in. Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas has nothing to say — until it’s Muslims. Also: Mitch McConnell is wheeled back onto the Senate stage. Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk want to “pace” AI right before the IPO window; Palantir’s Alex Karp says no, because China. Obama and Bernie Sanders pile onto the anti-AI lane. Muslim streamer Clavicular beefs with Sneako over gambling, gets walked out of Scientology’s LA center, then lands on the All-In podcast. Former CIA officer John Kiriakou walks Elena Velez’s New York Fashion Week runway clutching a Watergate book; Evie Magazine just happens to be there. Jacob Wohl is back in the Trump pardon-broker economy. A New York Democrat running for Congress modeled BDSM ads. Massachusetts takes a teen into custody over gender.

Republicans meet in Dallas for the midterm convention. Trump promises a $5,000 dividend to every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans take the House and Senate. Laura Ingraham asks about demoralized young men and gets an Iran talking point. The RNC rolls out John Fetterman as “based” while he still backs abortion with no limits, “trans kids,” gun control, and votes against the SAVE Act and the One Big Beautiful Bill — plus the Wall Street Journal FARA story on Israel’s embassy drafting his op-ed. Joe Lonsdale of Palantir debates Joe Allen on AI education, calls parents who don’t want AI teaching their kids “leftists,” and then spends 90 seconds sniffing into the mic. James Talarico suddenly supports a national ban on transgender surgeries for minors. Elon Musk is looking at $50–$200 million for Ken Paxton in Texas. Gaped of the Month: Laura Loomer on Milo Yiannopoulos, Milo’s response, the Blassie stab nominee, and John Galliano.

FREE MONTH OF PATREON ACCESS: / 6cedd patreon.com/bennibasilshow bennibasilsoaps.com x: https://x.com/bennni_boi and https://x.com/BasilianThought Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported from the United States to the United Kingdom after an ICE arrest at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. On this episode of The Benni and Basil Show we break down the DHS statement, the visa overstay, the July 22 final order of removal, and why Laura Loomer is claiming she reported him. British commentator and former Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos — also known from his Yeezy / Kanye West chapter — was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and removed after DHS said he entered legally in 2019, overstayed his welcome, missed an immigration hearing, and was ordered removed. We cover the New Orleans airport arrest, the Louisiana ICE detention hub, the flight back to the UK, and the MAGA-on-MAGA feud with Laura Loomer, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson’s orbit. If you search ICE deportation, Trump immigration enforcement, visa overstay, illegal alien removal, DHS mugshot, or “Milo deported,” this is the recap: what ICE said, what Loomer posted, what the court order was, and what it means for mass deportation politics in 2026.
