Bannon's War Room - Episode 5149： Trans Epidemic Continues To Lead To Violence; Iran Meeting Kicks Off

00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:00:07.000 Pray for our enemies.

00:00:09.000 Because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:12.000 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:17.000 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:19.000 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:20.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:00:22.000 but you're not going to stop it.

00:00:23.000 It's going to happen.

00:00:24.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:27.000 MAGA Media.

00:00:29.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:34.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:38.000 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:44.000 War Room.

00:00:45.000 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:00:52.000 It's Tuesday, 17 February in the year of our Lord, 2026.

00:00:56.000 It is the beginning of early voting in Texas, which is the center of the political universe right now.

00:01:02.000 Because as goes Texas, so goes the nation.

00:01:05.000 And as goes the nation, so goes the world.

00:01:07.000 Matt Meck.

00:01:08.000 The MAGA movement and the coalition around President Trump.

00:01:11.000 We're going to have the Maha guys on tonight at five o'clock to talk about this.

00:01:14.000 Because we kick off really the beginning of the midterm elections essentially kicks off today.

00:01:19.000 And we want to talk about their coalition and their motivation.

00:01:23.000 You run one of the, you're organized, help organize one of the biggest coalitions out there of people that are very focused on elections, the fairness of elections and make sure that elections don't get stolen in the future.

00:01:35.000 What are the number one concerns of your coalition members right now?

00:01:38.000 Our number one concern right now is that really nothing of substance has changed from 2020 to now.

00:01:47.000 And if it doesn't, we're toast.

00:01:50.000 And it needs to change and it needs to change drastically.

00:01:53.000 And to do that, we're certainly trying to work from the bottom up with literacy on the education system.

00:01:58.000 It's we the people's election, not the government, not a third party vendor.

00:02:02.000 It's our, we the people's election.

00:02:04.000 And people will, through us, help them understand registration, validation, tabulation and reporting.

00:02:11.000 And it's important that we motivate from the bottom up because, to be honest, Steve, we need to see, hopefully, some more bold, decisive action from the top down.

00:02:21.000 But we're ready.

00:02:22.000 We've got the ground fertile.

00:02:23.000 We're ready for whatever Trump's going to do.

00:02:25.000 We'll help execute it.

00:02:26.000 Well, here's the thing, you know, there's all this debate now.

00:02:29.000 I mean, the Save America Act is basically ground to a halt.

00:02:33.000 Now, Rachel Bovard, I'll make sure we put this up.

00:02:36.000 Rachel Bovard's got, as she always does, she's got a very sophisticated piece in The Federalist today about kind of a workaround of the, maybe workaround's too hard a word, about the filibuster.

00:02:49.000 Because right now, none of the Save America Act is going to be voted on, implemented.

00:02:53.000 And President Trump is coming out with, he says, a nationwide executive order.

00:02:56.000 I know they're working on it over the White House.

00:02:58.000 Obviously, that's going to be challenging courts right away.

00:03:00.000 And we are burning daylight.

00:03:02.000 So, Matt, I can already tell that people, a lot of people are quite interested in joining up with you guys.

00:03:08.000 Where do they go?

00:03:09.000 Where's the action center?

00:03:11.000 If you want to be part of the coalition, you want to be on these incredible calls.

00:03:14.000 I know you've got a show every night at 7 o'clock that has a fairly big audience.

00:03:19.000 Where do folks go to become part of your movement?

00:03:23.000 Steve, they can certainly email me at matt at unauthorized dot one.

00:03:29.000 And we'll connect them up.

00:03:30.000 We have what's called a hub.

00:03:32.000 It's our own server, our own network that the great Mark Cook, who's doing the Hand Count Roadshow, has traded for us.

00:03:38.000 And we network and share and we scale up from there.

00:03:42.000 And, sir, if I could, it's important we motivate from the bottom up because Peter Tickton knows this.

00:03:47.000 President Trump knows this directly.

00:03:49.000 Cash knows this.

00:03:50.000 People out here in an effort we were involved in, we've got them recorded and we've given that all to law enforcement.

00:03:56.000 These people, whatever it means, but they said about May or April of last year, Trump won't even exist in two years.

00:04:04.000 They're serious.

00:04:05.000 Yeah.

00:04:06.000 Repeat that.

00:04:07.000 I want people, because this is how serious, this is why, you know, Sam Faddis was out of the country and wrote this thing about the American Tet.

00:04:14.000 We've gone to the American Tet offensive up in Minneapolis. 0.57

00:04:18.000 I asked him, I said, hey, I know you're on vacation, but I need you up here.

00:04:21.000 It's so important.

00:04:22.000 This thing, the people do not understand the scale of the hatred coming from President Trump and the scale of the hatred coming from MAGA.

00:04:29.000 Just repeat what you just said.

00:04:32.000 There's folks out here and it's linked to 18 AGs and others.

00:04:36.000 Part of it is a, it's part of a case and investigation going on, but they said Trump won't even exist in two years.

00:04:45.000 That was about April of last year.

00:04:47.000 Matt, one more time.

00:04:48.000 Where do people go to sign up with your group?

00:04:51.000 Just contact me at Matt at unauthorized.one.

00:04:55.000 Thank you, brother.

00:04:57.000 Appreciate it.

00:04:58.000 Look forward to having me back on.

00:04:59.000 Yes, sir.

00:05:00.000 Every night at seven o'clock.

00:05:01.000 Every night at seven o'clock, they've got their show.

00:05:04.000 Peter Navarro, a very strong message came from the White House on Sunday.

00:05:11.000 I know the powers that be in big tech picked it up.

00:05:14.000 I'm not sure all of MAGA got it.

00:05:16.000 It was on Maria Bartramas.

00:05:17.000 Let's play the cold open.

00:05:18.000 I'm going to bring Brendan Steinhauser in.

00:05:20.000 Another issue that's happening and it is changing the economy at every level and that is artificial intelligence.

00:05:26.000 Sure.

00:05:27.000 AI efficiencies are in fact replacing jobs and people are worried that longer term we will see their job go away because of AI.

00:05:35.000 What's the plan at the White House to counter those AI efficiencies and how serious of an issue are you looking at this?

00:05:42.000 It's a massive issue and it's right on the president's desk and on his radar.

00:05:49.000 I think the one that's been most publicized is the effect on electricity prices and the president has already taken action.

00:05:57.000 We're going to be taking a lot more, but there's water issues.

00:06:00.000 There's the loss of agricultural land and obviously there's going to be major structural shifts in the labor market.

00:06:10.000 The issue for the United States of America is to balance the need to be at the leading edge and the leader in artificial intelligence, not just for economic reasons, but for national security reasons because this will be one of the most dangerous weapons of war we've ever seen.

00:06:30.000 We so we have to lead China and others on this, but at the same time we have to be mindful of the impacts across this nation.

00:06:41.000 And so we're going to have to deal with that.

00:06:43.000 And so there's just a lot of thought a lot of action on this.

00:06:46.000 So stay tuned. But I'm telling you, President Trump is aware of all four dimensions of the problem.

00:06:53.000 Yeah, because he's balancing on the one hand wanting and needing to be the number one global power on A.I. beating China.

00:07:01.000 And that means a build out of data centers. But on the other side, he's battling people like Senator Bernie Sanders and Richard Blumenthal, who are criticizing rapid data center build out, saying all of these data center build out that needs to stop.

00:07:15.000 I mean, you can't exactly stop if you're looking to be number one on the global stage in terms of A.I.

00:07:20.000 What needs to happen, Maria, is that all of these data center builders, meta on down, need to pay for all all of the costs, emphasize on that.

00:07:33.000 They need to pay not only pay for the electricity that they're using on the grid, but they have to pay for the resiliency that they're affecting as well.

00:07:44.000 They need to pay for the water. So there's activity action here going forward where we force them to internalize the costs.

00:07:54.000 You can't be a Luddite like Bernie. I mean, Bernie's one of the great Luddites.

00:07:59.000 But what you have to do is make sure the American people are not hurt.

00:08:05.000 And the loss of farmlands, no small thing either.

00:08:08.000 Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture, she's been a really bright light on so many crises that we've had, dealing with egg prices, dealing with beef prices, dealing with A.I.

00:08:18.000 But I just want to assure people that we're on it. We also feel your pain, America.

00:08:23.000 We understand the ravages that inflation took on you because of Joe Biden's irresponsibility.

00:08:31.000 But we are addressing that with economic policies that ultimately will make wages rise faster than the inflation rate.

00:08:38.000 The cost, who's paying for it, also the agriculture land, that's a huge issue in Texas, and water from West Texas to Arizona, aquifers, all of it.

00:08:50.000 Brendan Steinhauser, I want to address, you're from the Alliance, and I want to make sure everybody, because you're building, helping to build a social movement.

00:08:58.000 I want to get to the data centers and all that, but over the last 10 days, the nine days that shook the world in February, that we now realize the warnings of many of us, you included, about, hey, there's got to be some guardrails here.

00:09:13.000 Not just the guardrails for children, not just the guardrails for content creators, all the kind of four C's we talked about, but there's a deeper issue going on.

00:09:22.000 And now the most sophisticated people in artificial intelligence, including many of the people that oversaw the safety provisions internally to the companies, are saying there's something going on here, that this thing is quickly getting out of control because it's developing faster than even the developers thought.

00:09:42.000 Can you walk us through that, the nine days in February that shook the world?

00:09:45.000 Absolutely, Steve, and it's good to be back with you.

00:09:49.000 The trend lines that we're seeing are picking up very fast.

00:09:53.000 And so a lot of us have been talking about this for a few years now, but what we're seeing even in the last 30 days, in the last nine days, as you're citing, is everything is changing much more rapidly.

00:10:04.000 So you're seeing software engineers and people that run software companies talking about how they are essentially being replaced right now.

00:10:11.000 And they're putting out warning shots saying this is going to happen to all white collar work.

00:10:16.000 Mustafa Suleiman, the head of AI for Microsoft, said that he thinks that white collar jobs could be automated within 12 to 18 months.

00:10:24.000 Now, we may or may not buy that timeline, but they are sounding the alarm.

00:10:28.000 These are the people building the technology.

00:10:30.000 We had OpenAI just in the last week.

00:10:32.000 People fleeing that company, leaving that company, saying they're not taking safety seriously.

00:10:37.000 They're not taking security seriously.

00:10:39.000 And so some folks who've left OpenAI and Anthropic, one of the other companies, have said the world is in peril.

00:10:47.000 They're literally going to go do something else with their lives because they're so concerned that we're on the wrong path here.

00:10:53.000 We've had questions, obviously, about the finance side of this, about whether there's an AI bubble or this circular financing that's creating all these potential problems in the economy.

00:11:03.000 So it's that combined with regular Americans.

00:11:07.000 I mean, I go and talk to people on the road all the time, and they are concerned about their jobs.

00:11:12.000 They're seeing these headlines.

00:11:13.000 They're seeing more and more people talk about this.

00:11:15.000 And then their friends who work in tech, their friends that work as software engineers or tech sales, are seeing this happening to them right now.

00:11:22.000 So the problem is that white-collar work and then eventually blue-collar work is at great peril right now.

00:11:28.000 And so the administration and Congress have to act right now to get this right to protect American workers.

00:11:33.000 I want to go back.

00:11:34.000 You know, they've eviscerated a trillion dollars of value in software companies the other day.

00:11:40.000 And it's ironic that the software engineers were the ones that kind of worked on this and did it.

00:11:45.000 But when you say 12 to 18 months, I've actually talked to some people thinking come in there.

00:11:51.000 It's administrative, managerial, and tech, and particularly at the low level, entry level, all the way up to the highest level, where they would probably need some people with some wisdom or guidance that can make decisions.

00:12:03.000 But that this evisceration, particularly of tech workers, has gone far more rapidly than they thought.

00:12:09.000 As we warned that, hey, once this thing picks up steam, you have no idea how quickly it can build on itself.

00:12:15.000 And I'm hearing that, hey, what used to take, what they could concentrate for four minutes, now they can concentrate for four hours.

00:12:23.000 Next week, it's going to be four weeks.

00:12:25.000 The week after that, it's going to be four months.

00:12:27.000 It's going to be four years.

00:12:28.000 This is accelerating at an accelerating rate and scaring the absolute people that have been the biggest kind of apostles about this, that they're actually frightened right now.

00:12:38.000 And you can see this in the stock market.

00:12:40.000 You can see it's going through, particularly software it hit last week, $1 trillion in value ripped from these software companies.

00:12:47.000 A lot of whom are saying, well, we're trying to do, you know, AI agents and you're still going to have humans.

00:12:52.000 That's just not working out.

00:12:53.000 The bots and the agents are actually taking over and being prepared to take over in a much quicker pace.

00:12:59.000 Are they not, Brendan?

00:13:01.000 They are.

00:13:02.000 And this idea that you'll hear more about, many of the audience members will hear about this recursive self-improvement.

00:13:07.000 That's kind of what you're alluding to there, the idea that AIs are now going to be improving themselves.

00:13:12.000 We've seen this already a little bit.

00:13:14.000 Again, the engineers, the people who are, you know, overseeing this process are saying AIs are going to basically improve themselves.

00:13:21.000 They're going to create better and better AIs, and it's going to lead to this exponential growth in capabilities.

00:13:26.000 So that's what's happening right now.

00:13:28.000 We're sort of entering that stage.

00:13:30.000 And I have to say, too, one of the other things I've witnessed just in the last couple of weeks is how some of these CEOs, again, especially Dario Amadei, the head of Anthropic, Elon Musk, the head of XAI, they're going out there and basically telling the world what's about to happen.

00:13:44.000 And I don't know if it's a guilt complex or they're trying to do a CYA or it's something else, but they are basically putting it out there saying what we are doing is going to replace you.

00:13:53.000 It's going to replace white-collar workers and blue-collar workers. 0.99

00:13:56.000 There's really no escape from this unless we do take some pretty drastic measures in terms of looking at this topic more seriously, studying this, figuring out where we're going, how do we get this right to make AI go well for humanity?

00:14:09.000 Because if we don't, then it could be too late.

00:14:11.000 And all of a sudden, not only are we out of a job, in which case we lose our work, our income, our human dignity, but then this thing becomes so advanced that we lose control of AI completely.

00:14:21.000 And that's where people really worry about these loss of control scenarios leading to AI just being the successor species to human beings.

00:14:29.000 Brendan, hang on for a second.

00:14:31.000 This is not science fiction, folks.

00:14:33.000 This is science fact.

00:14:34.000 What did the poet tell us, the French poet from World War I?

00:14:37.000 See what you see.

00:14:40.000 The folks at the center of this, the Frontier Labs, are telling you, right up on your grill, exactly what is happening.

00:14:47.000 Short commercial break.

00:14:48.000 Back in the warm in a moment.

00:14:59.000 A new year means new financial goals.

00:15:02.000 Like making sure your savings are secure and diversified.

00:15:05.000 Will this be the year you finally listen to me and talk to someone from Birch Gold Group?

00:15:11.000 Honestly, they're great people.

00:15:13.000 I appreciate their educational approach and their understanding of macroeconomics.

00:15:17.000 There are forces pushing the dollar lower and gold higher, which is why they believe every American should own physical gold.

00:15:25.000 So until February, if you are a first time gold buyer, Birch Gold is offering a rebate of up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases.

00:15:36.000 To claim eligibility and start the process, just text Bannon at 989898.

00:15:43.000 Birch Gold can help you roll an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold and you're still eligible for a rebate of up to $10,000.

00:15:54.000 Make right now your first time to buy gold and take advantage of a rebate of up to $10,000 when you buy by February 27th.

00:16:05.000 Text my name, Bannon, 989898, and claim your eligibility today.

00:16:09.000 Remember, text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898.

00:16:14.000 You've got to the end of February, 27 February, to qualify.

00:16:18.000 Up to a $10,000 rebate.

00:16:21.000 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:16:26.000 Brennan Steinhauser, you know, and we'll come on later in the week.

00:16:30.000 I'll get the group back together to talk about you got to get this Utah legislation.

00:16:34.000 You've got Ron DeSantis digging his heels in in Florida because he's not seen at the federal regulatory level regulation level coming together.

00:16:43.000 There are bills bouncing around.

00:16:46.000 But has what happened in the last in those nine days in February now raises up to the situation that the Secretary of War or DHS or somebody at a cabinet level needs to immediately go in and then come back to the president, the commander in chief and say, hey, here's exactly what's going on in these frontier labs.

00:17:08.000 I want to I'm sure there's, you know, talk for these frontier labs, but should now would your recommendation be that the president actually ought to deputize somebody to kind of get their hands around it?

00:17:20.000 So they then send out a message to the American people that were on top of this.

00:17:23.000 Also, what's happened in these labs over the last week should absolutely have us banned one million percent.

00:17:31.000 Any more shipment of advanced chips to China, any more of the Chinese students coming over here to these great universities to learn all the Chinese nationals have to leave the labs, have to leave the companies in the United States.

00:17:44.000 If the big threat here is to have China get on and get control of this, then we have to go to the 100 percent as close as we can get to 100 percent probability that they have no access to American technology, training, education or capital.

00:17:59.000 At the same time, the frontier labs, somebody's got to go in the frontier labs.

00:18:03.000 I've warned about this, right, that somebody's got to go in there and actually find out what's happening and report back to the president, sir.

00:18:10.000 Absolutely. So I'll start with the second point quickly and say we have to choke off the supply of advanced chips to China.

00:18:18.000 We have to pass legislation like the CHIP Security Act that Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas has been championing.

00:18:24.000 There's another House bill moving to the House Foreign Affairs Committee now, hopefully to the full House, the AI Overwatch Act.

00:18:31.000 Those are a couple of pieces of legislation that are similar and that they're trying to restrict access to chips from China.

00:18:37.000 That's critical in this effort. Going back to your first point, though.

00:18:40.000 Yes, I think the president needs to have someone who is focused on national security, who says we have to have transparency and accountability.

00:18:48.000 We need the federal government to have oversight on the frontier labs.

00:18:51.000 There needs to be mandatory testing.

00:18:53.000 We need to have eyes on this on these frontier models, which are potentially building artificial general intelligence or super intelligence.

00:19:01.000 That is the path we're on. And right now there's no access. There's no transparency.

00:19:05.000 There's no accountability. And so we we definitely need someone at that level to do that.

00:19:09.000 And there is a bill there as well by Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri.

00:19:12.000 He's championing the AI Risk Evaluation Act, which would do just that.

00:19:16.000 And it would give that authority to the federal government to say, I think, I think the legislator.

00:19:21.000 Yeah, I think the legislative part of this is fine. But I think this is a national security issue.

00:19:26.000 It has to be addressed right away. This is not coming from the Max Tegmarks or the Brendan Steinhausers or the Mark Beals or the Jason Van Baks.

00:19:34.000 All the people we have on the working on this professionally every day.

00:19:37.000 This is coming from people in the industry. This is coming from the top people in the industry.

00:19:41.000 A lot of these people are just saying, you know what, this thing's so far gone.

00:19:45.000 I'm going to go, you know, do pottery because I'm not so sure where humanity is going to go.

00:19:50.000 And I've I've worked on the safety issues. I'm going to go garden.

00:19:54.000 That should be a major flair to the American people that something is up here.

00:19:59.000 And we just not we just don't have our hands around it.

00:20:02.000 Brendan, where do people go? You're the alliance.

00:20:04.000 You're trying to form a massive social movement here. Where do people go?

00:20:08.000 You can follow us on social media channels at Secure AI now at Secure AI now.

00:20:15.000 And then our website is Secure AI now dot org.

00:20:20.000 Brendan, thank you so much.

00:20:22.000 Brendan Steinhauser, thank you so much for for joining us, sir.

00:20:25.000 Secure AI now. OK, let's go ahead.

00:20:30.000 We've got a this is pretty shocking. Let's go ahead and play.

00:20:33.000 This is about this, the radical transgender ideology.

00:20:36.000 President Trump, as much as President Trump and everybody that's been on here for years has has fought this.

00:20:42.000 The Terry Shillings of the world, the Christian Post people, Brandon Showalter, all the great efforts.

00:20:48.000 Let's just see what's happening here. Let's go and play it.

00:20:51.000 At least nine people are dead and two dozen others hurt after separate shootings at a school and a home in a remote part of British Columbia.

00:20:59.000 Canadian police confirming that at least six people were found dead inside the school while another died on the way to the hospital.

00:21:06.000 The only suspect, a woman, was found dead inside the school from a self-inflicted injury.

00:21:13.000 Two other victims were found dead at a nearby home believed to be connected with the shooter.

00:21:18.000 The shooting is Canada's deadliest in nearly six years.

00:21:22.000 The investigation into the motive continues.

00:21:25.000 So a suspect is identified as an 18 year old female by the name of Jessie.

00:21:30.000 We have a history of police attendance at the family residence.

00:21:36.000 Some of those calls are, were, pardon me, related to mental health issues.

00:21:42.000 So it is believed the victims of that residence and the suspect are family members.

00:21:47.000 Can you say what parents, siblings, what relationship that is?

00:21:52.000 Yes, the female adult victim is the mother of the suspect and the youth male is the brother of the suspect or step brother.

00:22:03.000 John

00:22:05.600 The

00:22:07.000 Music

00:22:08.000 Which

00:22:09.000 Should

00:22:10.000 Let

00:22:13.000 You

00:22:15.000 cannot

00:22:17.000 쪽

00:22:18.000 Her

00:22:19.000 The

00:22:21.000 Stranger

00:22:22.000 W

00:22:23.880 Or

00:22:25.060 male

00:22:26.000 A

00:22:27.000 male

00:22:28.000 Did you confirm whether the suffix of male, female, we've heard that it's a transgender

00:22:33.320 person?

00:22:34.320 Is that something that you have in terms of information?

00:22:37.040 So what I can say right now that we have identified the person, the suspect, by a birth name.

00:22:42.240 The birth name was Robert Dorgan.

00:22:45.960 We have also learned that the person does go by the name of Roberta, also uses a last

00:22:50.580 name of Esposito.

00:22:51.580 Were you born a boy or a girl? 0.97

00:22:53.580 I was born f***ing, that's what. 0.97

00:22:56.040 Is that X? 1.00

00:22:57.040 You're upset because your daughter was born a man.

00:23:03.260 So you've decided to take it out against the entire district.

00:23:06.160 What's wrong with you?

00:23:07.160 No, my daughter was born female.

00:23:09.040 She has XX chromosomes and she'll always be a woman, right? 1.00

00:23:12.440 She can't change her sex. 1.00

00:23:15.080 Why do you think doctors would want to give you guys hormones that'll change your... 1.00

00:23:20.540 Because they want to make people happy, you idiot. 1.00

00:23:22.800 I know, but... 1.00

00:23:23.800 In fact, that's why my voice is cracking.

00:23:24.800 I love hormones. 0.99

00:23:25.800 F***ing. 0.99

00:23:26.800 What was that? 1.00

00:23:27.800 He said f***ing you. 1.00

00:23:28.800 He said f***ing you. 1.00

00:23:29.800 F***ing you. 1.00

00:23:30.800 So wait, are you guys worried that you might lose your sexual function if you're on hormones? 1.00

00:23:34.920 No, I already do.

00:23:35.920 I've already lost all of them.

00:23:36.920 But you're...

00:23:37.920 I've been taking hormones for six months. 0.99

00:23:39.920 I don't give a s***. 0.98

00:23:41.920 I'm happier this way. 0.85

00:23:42.920 Why does it affect you?

00:23:43.920 That's my question.

00:23:44.920 Why would it affect you?

00:23:45.920 And why do you think it's a good idea to show up to a school?

00:23:47.920 Why do you disregarding the way that your children feel so that you get attention like this?

00:23:51.920 The disrespect you have for your child disgusts me.

00:23:54.920 Yeah.

00:23:55.920 That you can't respect the way they want to live their life.

00:23:56.920 Like you really birthed this whole child and carried it for nine months just to disrespect

00:24:00.920 the f*** out of it while it's alive?

00:24:02.920 Why would she do that as a mother? 1.00

00:24:03.920 And then you have the f***ing doll to show up in front of our school. 1.00

00:24:06.920 The doctors wanted to give her top surgery when she was 15. 0.99

00:24:08.920 So what?

00:24:09.920 Maybe because that's how she felt.

00:24:10.920 She did feel like that at 15. 0.96

00:24:12.920 She hated her breasts. 1.00

00:24:13.920 She didn't want to become a woman. 0.99

00:24:14.920 And how is that your problem? 0.99

00:24:15.920 And I hate my genitals too. 1.00

00:24:17.920 If I had the chance, I'd cut them off. 1.00

00:24:19.920 I'd come real close. 1.00

00:24:20.920 What genitals do you have? 1.00

00:24:21.920 I'm not gonna... 0.99

00:24:22.920 Why is that?

00:24:23.920 You just...

00:24:24.920 How old are you? 1.00

00:24:25.920 Girl, not to be my f***ing grandma. 0.99

00:24:27.920 What's wrong with you? 0.99

00:24:28.920 I just wanna... 1.00

00:24:29.920 You disgust me. 0.97

00:24:30.920 Well, I am old and I am... 0.99

00:24:31.920 Yeah, you're old.

00:24:32.920 You're outdated. 0.98

00:24:33.920 Go away. 1.00

00:24:34.920 You disgust your child's mental health by you doing all these things. 1.00

00:24:37.920 Can I ask? 0.99

00:24:38.920 Can you just leave?

00:24:39.920 No.

00:24:40.920 Of course.

00:24:41.920 Of course.

00:24:42.920 I'm just trying to...

00:24:43.920 You can grow up to be a healthy whole person.

00:24:47.920 Nobody's transgender. 1.00

00:24:49.920 The medical clinics are making money off...

00:24:52.920 That person deserves to know the truth.

00:24:55.920 You are not transgender. 1.00

00:24:58.920 It's not possible.

00:24:59.920 It is not possible, you guys.

00:25:03.920 It's mass psychosis. 0.78

00:25:05.920 Nobody's transgender. 1.00

00:25:11.920 Sheila Matthews, Able Child.

00:25:13.920 What is...

00:25:14.920 This is like a cough gas nightmare.

00:25:15.920 I mean, you saw with all the...

00:25:17.920 All the improvements people are making and going and assuming these medical centers. 0.79

00:25:22.920 It's like the village of the damned right there. 0.94

00:25:24.920 And you see the horrible, horrible... 0.96

00:25:26.920 I mean, this guy yesterday, Robert called Roberta, looks like a pulling guard for the Green Bay Packers.

00:25:34.920 Right?

00:25:35.920 Tell me what's going on.

00:25:37.920 This is human experimentation.

00:25:41.920 Okay?

00:25:42.920 And we saw this with the Nazis with Germany.

00:25:45.920 Okay?

00:25:46.920 And this is a mass psychosis.

00:25:48.920 This is a paper tiger.

00:25:50.920 Okay?

00:25:51.920 Once we talk about it and we get to the funding of it, which our government is doing, both sides, it's a bipartisan Community Safer Act that is doing this.

00:26:02.920 This is the school psychologists in the school system.

00:26:06.920 We have to be able to talk about this.

00:26:09.920 This is a crime against humanity.

00:26:12.920 It's not hurting anybody's feelings.

00:26:15.920 This is about changing humanity the way we see it today.

00:26:21.920 Women and men have been around for over 300,000 years.

00:26:27.920 Okay?

00:26:28.920 This is a cult.

00:26:29.920 Okay?

00:26:30.920 And it's funded.

00:26:31.920 It's funded within our government.

00:26:34.920 We were seeing that.

00:26:36.920 Okay?

00:26:37.920 And so President Eisenhower freed the Nazi camps in April of, I think it was April 12th of 1945.

00:26:48.920 And he wanted German people to see the atrocities of what was going on.

00:26:54.920 This is what we are seeing.

00:26:57.920 We have no accountability.

00:26:59.920 This is on the presidential level.

00:27:01.920 Able Child has worked through this for multiple years.

00:27:05.920 And we're appealing to anybody that will listen to us.

00:27:09.920 And I believe it comes down.

00:27:11.920 People watch your show, Steve.

00:27:13.920 And I know President watches your show.

00:27:16.920 And we want a seat at the table.

00:27:18.920 And we want it now.

00:27:20.920 We are not going to put up with this any longer.

00:27:23.920 We don't care to vote if you're a Democrat or Republican.

00:27:27.920 This is our main priority right now.

00:27:30.920 We all understand.

00:27:32.920 You guys don't.

00:27:33.920 But we do.

00:27:34.920 So this is a crisis.

00:27:37.920 And we want a seat at the table.

00:27:39.920 I'm willing to sit down with the drug companies.

00:27:41.920 I'm willing to sit down with President Trump.

00:27:44.920 I'm willing to sit down with this Mr. McBride of Delaware.

00:27:51.920 This congressman who is saying he is a woman.

00:27:56.920 I am a woman.

00:27:57.920 He is not a woman. 1.00

00:27:58.920 He's not going to take over my.

00:28:01.920 Yeah.

00:28:02.920 Hang on one second.

00:28:03.920 We're going to take a short commercial break.

00:28:05.920 Natasha Owens takes us out.

00:28:08.920 We're going to finish with this.

00:28:10.920 And we're going to go to the Middle East on next in the world. 0.99

00:28:13.920 The world is getting more unstable and chaotic every day.

00:28:23.920 It seems like everyone.

00:28:24.920 Everywhere you look.

00:28:26.920 There's another crisis.

00:28:27.920 Another controversy.

00:28:28.920 Another conflict.

00:28:29.920 Or just outright catastrophe.

00:29:57.920 Jim Rickards.

00:29:58.920 I'm working to get Jim Rickards on tomorrow until that time.

00:30:32.920 He talks about fiat currency and artificial intelligence.

00:30:36.920 After you read that, I think you'll understand that maybe now you'll go over to Birch Gold.

00:30:42.920 You'll take your phone and text Bannon at 989898 and get the ultimate guide for investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump.

00:31:00.920 These have flown out.

00:31:01.920 In fact, we've gone through the entire first printing in just, I think, the first week.

00:31:05.920 They're getting more made right now.

00:31:06.920 But go take your phone out.

00:31:07.920 Talk to Philip, Patrick, and the team.

00:31:10.920 What I want to do, this thing is so shocking, and that video with the kids, something like Children of the Damned or Village of the Damned.

00:31:18.920 I want people to get as much information as possible here, Sheila.

00:31:22.920 So where do they go?

00:31:23.920 What's the site?

00:31:24.920 What do you guys do?

00:31:25.920 You have a big fundraiser, I think, in March.

00:31:27.920 Tell us about that, and then where do people go?

00:31:30.920 What we need now is people to be immersed in the information about this because it is a mental illness and it's a psychosis, ma'am.

00:31:36.920 Well, we have articles on our website, so it's ablechild.org, ablechild.org.

00:31:42.920 We encourage you to read about it because we don't want more mental health funding.

00:31:47.920 We want a return to education.

00:31:49.920 You need to read the articles.

00:31:51.920 We've been following this for 25 years, and we are celebrating March 10th in West Palm Beach.

00:31:58.920 And you could go to ablechild25.com for tickets.

00:32:02.920 We still have a few left.

00:32:04.920 I have to tell you, we're selling out pretty quick.

00:32:06.920 And so that is our 25-year anniversary, and so please support us.

00:32:13.920 Oh, there's a petition on our website.

00:32:15.920 Please sign it.

00:32:16.920 And again, our articles will really show you what is going on here.

00:32:22.920 It's the structural system within the education system, and so it's not about just labeling everybody mentally ill.

00:32:31.920 It's taking care of children before they get to psychiatry. 0.65

00:32:35.920 And so we want to help, and we urge you to go to ablechild.org, read our articles, black box suicide warnings, and increased risk of suicide and homicide from these cocktails of drugs.

00:32:52.920 You saw this yesterday.

00:32:54.920 So please support us.

00:32:55.920 Look, this guy looks like a blocking back, and he, I think, murdered his wife in cold blood, shot three of his six daughters, I think, and then killed himself. 0.97

00:33:04.920 Roberta.

00:33:05.920 Check Roberta out. 0.85

00:33:07.920 Denver can get some photos up.

00:33:09.920 Sheila, thank you so much.

00:33:10.920 You're fighting the good fight.

00:33:11.920 Look forward to having you back on, ma'am.

00:33:13.920 All right.

00:33:14.920 Thank you, Steve, for everything you do.

00:33:16.920 Thank you.

00:33:17.920 This is part of that revolution, a big part of the revolution.

00:33:22.920 It's also the under, it's transhumanism.

00:33:24.920 It's if you can be any gender you want or whether they say they got 30 types of genders.

00:33:30.920 Back to hard geopolitics right now.

00:33:35.920 Rabbi Willicki, you know, we have Kurt Mills on a lot.

00:33:38.920 I always like to balance it with your thinking.

00:33:40.920 I'm hearing now that there's a framework, and Captain Fanel is going to be here because we're shipping more hardware and assets into the Middle East, I think, at any time.

00:33:49.920 I actually think if you take the ground troops out, it's bigger than the buildup to the Gulf War.

00:33:54.920 I'm hearing now that there is a framework for, there's a framework for a deal that the Persians in their own negotiating method now have a framework of a framework of a framework.

00:34:05.920 Am I correct on that, sir?

00:34:07.920 Yeah, welcome to the Persian negotiating table.

00:34:10.920 You know, there's no such thing as negotiating successfully with Persians. 1.00

00:34:14.920 When you walk into the room, you've lost.

00:34:16.920 But what's been agreed upon, according to the reports, foreign minister of Iran, Abbas al-Ragchi, gave a statement really just a few hours ago saying that they've made progress and that each side is going to work towards putting together a draft to be negotiated later, but guiding principles were worked out.

00:34:40.920 And he specifically told the Iranian media that, quote, progress does not mean that an agreement will be reached soon, but the path has started.

00:34:49.920 And this is consistent with what I've been saying is their strategy.

00:34:54.920 Their strategy is to drag this out as long as possible.

00:34:58.920 The longer it takes, you know, the better they have.

00:35:01.920 They just want to keep kicking the can down the road. 0.96

00:35:03.920 And and ultimately their goal is the survival of the regime.

00:35:07.920 Look, I just want to make sure President Trump wants, I think, a total eradication of their nuclear program.

00:35:14.920 I think they've said that's not possible.

00:35:16.920 The Israelis want a broader context of that ballistic missiles, everything.

00:35:20.920 Just make it so we can understand it where there's all these different things.

00:35:24.920 And I realize there's people in Israel that want regime change and they've asked permission in the United States that they have to to go to loan.

00:35:31.920 Just set take a minute and set the framework what's going on, because they're giving us diplomatic speak and we're still we're sending a second carrier strike group over there to provide some muscle.

00:35:43.920 So where do you think this all is right now?

00:35:46.920 Well, that's a great that's a great way to frame the question, Steve, because the different players here really do have very different agendas, even people who are on the same side, ostensibly, meaning like the United States and Israel are, of course, coordinating.

00:35:57.920 But they don't have the same agenda. And it's very important for both Americans and Israelis to remember that, that we don't have identical interests.

00:36:05.920 The United States, of course, does not want Iran to have a nuclear program.

00:36:11.920 And a lot of what they had was devastated during the 12 day war.

00:36:15.920 And Trump has kind of shifted back to talking, you know, to making these conversations about that.

00:36:21.920 But the truth is, from Israel's perspective and even before the riots that led to all this erupted, you know, back, whatever it is, a little more than a month ago, a month and a half ago, even before those erupted, Israel had been talking a great deal about the fact that Iran had very quickly, very successfully rebuilt a lot of its ballistic missile program.

00:36:41.920 The ballistic missile program in Iran, from an Israeli perspective, is talked about more as an existential threat to Israel.

00:36:48.920 That's more of a pressing issue for Israelis than the nuclear program ever since the 12 day war, because the nuclear program is kind of like it was damaged and it's, you know, it's, you know, let's see what they could do with it.

00:36:58.920 And we also know that we have more of the backing of the rest of the world who also cares about Iran not getting a nuke.

00:37:04.920 But when it comes to the ballistic missiles, that's the real existential threat.

00:37:07.920 That's what caused so much damage to Israel during the 12 day war. 0.79

00:37:10.920 And that's what and that's what's worrisome about about it to the future.

00:37:13.920 So if the United States comes up with some kind of deal with the Iranians that has to do with the nuclear but doesn't deal with the ballistic missile threat, the Israelis have already been saying over the last week or two.

00:37:23.920 They've been saying it here and there in statements, but they mean it that Israel is not going to feel bound by that agreement.

00:37:28.920 We still have existential threats to our country that we're going to have to deal with.

00:37:32.920 You know, and, you know, so that's something also to keep in mind.

00:37:35.920 And then you have the Iranian people. 0.60

00:37:37.920 And here's where things get a little dicey in terms of what, you know, what Trump, what Trump is doing, because when he made that statement, help is on the way.

00:37:45.920 And whether that was a wise statement to make or not is not is neither here nor there.

00:37:49.920 It was made.

00:37:50.920 The Iranian people took it very seriously and went out to the streets in much greater force.

00:37:55.920 And it is undoubtable that many more Iranians were killed because of that boldness, because they really felt that they had a back, that someone was coming, you know, you know, coming to help them out in their attempts to bring down the regime.

00:38:08.920 And there's a lot of chatter coming out of Iran.

00:38:11.920 And I pay close attention to whatever seeps out of Iran through through social media and stuff that gets translated into Hebrew.

00:38:17.920 There's a lot of material that comes out.

00:38:19.920 There's a big Persian community in Israel that is that also, you know, brings forward a lot of that information.

00:38:25.920 There's a real sense of of betrayal by Trump.

00:38:28.920 Now, again, whether that's justified or not or whether Trump made the right move is neither here nor there.

00:38:32.920 And if in the end of the day there aren't strikes, there's going to be this perception in in in certain quarters in the Middle East and also from the Iranian regime, who's been taunting Trump, saying that he's chicken and that he failed and that his real goal is to bring down the regime and he failed to do so.

00:38:49.920 So Trump's perception on the stage in the Middle East is also at stake here.

00:38:55.920 Again, I'm not so sure it was wise for him to say help is on the way, but he did it.

00:39:00.920 Scott Besson's destroying their currency was, I think, what drove people into the streets.

00:39:05.920 Hang on for a second, Rabbi. Do I have Captain Fennell?

00:39:07.920 Oh, I don't. OK, I was going to have Captain Fennell.

00:39:10.920 Captain Fennell is going to talk about we're not going to be able to do it today, so we're going to have to do it some other time.

00:39:15.920 I've run out of time. Captain Fennell is going to talk about, Rabbi, you know, having been over there with a carrier battle group or two carrier battle groups in North Arabian Sea, I know the amount of force that a strike group can get.

00:39:27.920 We've got a second large strike group there right now.

00:39:32.920 Other assets are flowing into the region.

00:39:34.920 There's all discussion about some of our Arab allies, people like UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia giving us overflight rights.

00:39:44.920 There's concern in the Gulf Emirates about those ballistic missiles, about taking out their oil and gas reserves.

00:39:50.920 I've heard in talking to people there, some people are afraid they could knock it down for five to seven years.

00:39:56.920 There's reports out right now that the Persians are actually going through pretty sophisticated operations in the Straits of Hormuz.

00:40:03.920 Now, why they would want to I guess their threat is that, hey, we'll shut down UAE and Qatar forever by blocking it. 0.70

00:40:11.920 But of course, the Chinese Communist Party's oil has got to go through there.

00:40:14.920 What is, as you see it, the military situation right now?

00:40:17.920 Because the United States, President Trump is going to have a lot of options, right?

00:40:22.920 And he's going to negotiate.

00:40:23.920 He's a man of peace.

00:40:24.920 He wants to negotiate, but he's going to have a lot of options.

00:40:26.920 How's that viewed in the region?

00:40:29.920 It's viewed in the region as I mean, for those who are anti Iran, the negotiations are viewed as basically a waste of time.

00:40:40.920 But we understand why President Trump wants to go down that route and reach the end point of them so that he can turn around and say, OK, I tried everything.

00:40:49.920 I tried to negotiate.

00:40:50.920 That's the way people are interpreting it.

00:40:51.920 I'm not I'm not advocating for one side or another on that point.

00:40:54.920 I'm just saying that is how it's being interpreted in Middle Eastern media that negotiating is really not going to lead anywhere.

00:41:01.920 But, you know, when we look at the behavior of the Iranian regime, I think this is a very important point for your audience to understand.

00:41:08.920 All of this muscle flexing and like having military drills in the Straits of Hormuz, which they closed today for those drills and displaying coffins of American military brass at a public demonstration last week.

00:41:20.920 And and, you know, trash talking Trump, which looks on the surface to be counterproductive.

00:41:26.920 It looks almost suicidal. 0.96

00:41:27.920 Why are they poking the bear?

00:41:28.920 Why aren't they why aren't they being more conciliatory?

00:41:30.920 So I believe that what's happening here is that the regime.

00:41:34.920 But I think the regime feels that no matter how bad the the US military strikes on them will be, they won't bring down the regime.

00:41:41.920 You can't bomb a regime out of existence.

00:41:43.920 And that's something that everyone needs to, you know, take a deep breath and understand.

00:41:47.920 You cannot bomb a regime out of existence.

00:41:50.920 You can bomb them.

00:41:51.920 You can weaken them.

00:41:52.920 But in the end of the day, the regime can only fall if the Iranian people bring it down. 1.00

00:41:56.920 You can create conditions that make that easier, but you cannot obliterate a regime.

00:42:01.920 And I think the regime is counting on Trump not wanting a prolonged conflict and also not being willing or not being able politically to absorb any US casualties at all.

00:42:11.920 And therefore, they don't really need to beat the American army.

00:42:14.920 They just need to survive and weather the storm of American attacks enough and possibly even slip slip a missile or a drone through to some American base in the region and kill a few American servicemen.

00:42:26.920 And there will be a hue and cry in the US for, you know, for, you know, for Trump to stop this entire thing and get out of there.

00:42:32.920 And if that happens, they survive.

00:42:34.920 And no matter how weak they are, as long as they're in power, they can reconstitute themselves.

00:42:39.920 They're still getting their cash flow from selling oil to the Chinese Communist Party.

00:42:43.920 And they could and then they can just keep their head down until Trump is out of office and continue their regime.

00:42:49.920 That's how the Iranians see the calculus here. 0.83

00:42:52.920 So you have the way they're thinking.

00:42:53.920 And then you have, like what I said, the Israelis are looking at this purely from our own security perspective and saying, we want to deal with the proxies. 0.90

00:43:00.920 We want to deal with the ballistic.

00:43:01.920 Yeah, we want to deal with the nuclear, too.

00:43:02.920 But that's mostly been dealt with recently.

00:43:04.920 And that's less of a pressing issue.

00:43:06.920 And then you have the Americans who who are who are making noises about it being made about the nuclear.

00:43:13.920 So there's you know, people are talking different languages in this space.

00:43:16.920 But there's a strong consensus in Middle Eastern media that this is going to kinetic conflict.

00:43:21.920 Hang on for one second.

00:43:23.920 I want to hold you through the break.

00:43:25.920 We're going to get Captain Fennell.

00:43:26.920 We're going to work to get Captain Fennell because I want a detailed day at five.

00:43:30.920 We're going to figure that out.

00:43:31.920 I want to talk about the assets flowing into the area.

00:43:35.920 We are a strong believer in bringing it down economically.

00:43:40.920 Big difference of opinion on a lot of people about that, including folks at the Department of War.

00:43:46.920 Short break.

00:43:49.920 If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt?

00:43:55.920 Let's see if we can help you with that.

00:43:57.920 If we could give yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief from your credit card and other debt?

00:44:04.920 I might have a solution.

00:44:06.920 Here's why now is the time to make a move.

00:44:09.920 This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books.

00:44:13.920 They clean up past due accounts.

00:44:16.920 They sell a right off the debt to clear their books.

00:44:19.920 That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before you're in.

00:44:28.920 That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.

00:44:33.920 And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage.

00:44:37.920 They monitor lender trends and understand the year-end pressure on creditors.

00:44:42.920 They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf.

00:44:46.920 Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy or taking on new loans.

00:44:54.920 Done With Debt goes to work for you month one with one clear goal, to reduce your total debt and leave you with more money every month.

00:45:04.920 Get started now because your leverage may disappear at the end of the year.

00:46:17.920 The World Posse sent you.

00:46:19.920 And you get a free discovery call about exactly what your situation is.

00:46:23.920 Rabbi, can't we just bring this down if we cut the oil off to the Chinese? 1.00

00:46:28.920 I realize, geo-strategically, why President Trump, particularly since he's got a state

00:46:32.920 visit there in April, may not want to do this.

00:46:34.920 I think it's 40% of oil for the Chinese Communist Party, but it's like 90% of the cash flow to

00:46:39.920 the mullahs.

00:46:40.920 If Besson keeps the pressure on the currency and you cut off the oil, the Persian people 1.00

00:46:48.920 just take it down by themselves and we don't have to go kinetic?

00:46:51.920 That could very well be.

00:46:54.920 Look, let's remember that these protests started for economic reasons.

00:46:58.920 And that's a very critical point.

00:47:00.920 If we're looking downrange, and this is what we do in War Room, try to look downrange

00:47:04.920 and anticipate what's coming.

00:47:06.920 If we're looking downrange, we have to recognize that all of the problems that led to this flare-up

00:47:11.920 of protests that have caused this entire situation right now, none of them have been resolved.

00:47:17.920 None of those economic conditions have been addressed, and they're not about to be addressed.

00:47:22.920 In the first Trump term, Trump put sanctions on Iran that prevented any country that bought

00:47:28.920 any Iranian oil from doing business with the United States.

00:47:31.920 That led to a situation where only North Korea was buying Iranian oil, and the Chinese Communist Party

00:47:38.920 was buying some Iranian oil through shadow fleets.

00:47:41.920 They were trying to circumvent the sanctions.

00:47:42.920 They were doing it on the sly, but it was a small amount.

00:47:45.920 And then when Biden lifted those sanctions, China signed this 25-year strategic agreement

00:47:49.920 with Iran and purchases about 90% of the oil that Iran ships out.

00:47:53.920 As you said, 80 to 90% of it.

00:47:56.920 And when Trump came into office, he has chosen not to reinstate those sanctions.

00:48:02.920 He's put other sanctions on.

00:48:04.920 But reportedly, Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump did speak about the possibility

00:48:09.920 of reinstating those sanctions somewhat.

00:48:11.920 And it was, I think, deliberately leaked out because the Chinese then responded and basically

00:48:16.920 said, hey, don't do that.

00:48:18.920 But look, this regime was on the verge of collapse at the end of the first Trump term.

00:48:22.920 If the 2020 election doesn't get stolen and Trump leaves those sanctions on, this regime

00:48:27.920 might not even be here today because of sanctions, because of sanctions.

00:48:31.920 The whole sanctions.

00:48:32.920 Yeah.

00:48:33.920 The real sanctions.

00:48:34.920 Yeah.

00:48:35.920 And there's a couple other things to look for, Steve.

00:48:36.920 If I could just make your audience a little smart.

00:48:39.920 Sure.

00:48:40.920 I mean, we have a lot of protests tonight.

00:48:41.920 And the Iranian people are much more secular than the regime.

00:48:46.920 And a lot of them are rejecting Islam.

00:48:47.920 They've been burning mosques during the course of these protests.

00:48:50.920 But the regime enforces Ramadan. 0.95

00:48:53.920 They prohibit eating in public.

00:48:55.920 And it's a time that typically could lead to a lot of unrest.

00:49:01.920 Also today and tomorrow, the bazaar shop owners who started all the protests have called

00:49:06.920 for a national strike, including a strike of all the petrochemical workers and all of

00:49:12.920 the trade unions.

00:49:13.920 And also calling for people to potentially come back into the streets, although there's

00:49:18.920 of course a lot of fear of getting gunned down.

00:49:20.920 We could see a lot of unrest in the streets of Iran over the course of the next couple

00:49:25.920 of days with the convergence of these factors here.

00:49:29.920 Let me go.

00:49:30.920 I'm going to have you back on.

00:49:31.920 But let me go.

00:49:32.920 I got to bounce.

00:49:33.920 I got one question.

00:49:35.920 Part of the discussion of the three hour meeting in D.C., we now find out is B.B.

00:49:39.920 making the point to say, look, if you guys don't want to do it, we've got to have the

00:49:42.920 ability to go it alone.

00:49:43.920 Is there any possibility you could go it alone and not drag the United States in as

00:49:47.920 actual combatant on logistics?

00:49:49.920 I mean, isn't that in that kind of a fantasy?

00:49:51.920 I know you've been a big advocate, probably the leading advocate that you've got to wean 1.00

00:49:55.920 off American American military assistance, American military hardware because it restricts

00:50:02.920 the Israeli's ability to go strike on their own. 0.79

00:50:05.920 Is there any real possibility you guys could do it now and not drag the Americans into 0.99

00:50:09.920 a kinetic conflict?

00:50:11.920 Well, I think that defensive help in terms of missile defense is probably necessary.

00:50:19.920 Although Israel has been bolstering its missile defense in preparation for this, I'm not

00:50:23.920 privy enough to know if Israel can handle the missile defense alone, because if the regime 0.65

00:50:28.920 senses it's going to collapse, they could unload their, you know, their arsenal of missiles

00:50:32.920 and their ballistic missile capabilities have actually gotten better since the 12 day war.

00:50:37.920 So defensive assistance Israel might need.

00:50:40.920 But here we're not talking about anything where we'd need B-2 bombers.

00:50:44.920 This is really about the ballistic missile program and, you know, and slapping down the

00:50:49.920 proxies even harder.

00:50:50.920 I'll also point out that Israel has been hammering Hezbollah over the last couple of weeks in

00:50:57.920 preparation for keeping them down if there's a kinetic conflict with Iran.

00:51:01.920 Rabbi, can you tell people where to go get your content?

00:53:28.920 With the national conversation around abolishing the income tax, the IRS is fighting back and

00:53:35.920 proving it's here to stay by becoming more aggressive than ever before.

00:53:39.920 They're sending out more collection notices, filing more tax liens and collecting billions

00:53:54.920 and even your home.

00:53:56.920 If you owe or haven't filed, it's not a question of if the IRS will act.
