00:03:50.000It seems to be at least six countries that are allied with the United States and where U.S. forces are.
00:03:59.000It appears that missiles or drones got through in Bahrain and hit fifth fleet, American fifth fleet headquarters.
00:04:06.000They have already their surrogates, I know, in northern Iraq where the Kurds are, have already fired on Erbil.
00:04:14.000I don't know that that was particularly effective.
00:04:16.000But as you noted, the Houthis are already making noises.
00:04:19.000But look, the Iranians are going to take this worldwide and they're going to take this into the realm where they feel they have an advantage.
00:04:28.000So that means not just their surrogates all over the Middle East, and there are many of them.
00:04:34.000I mean, they're all over Iraq. They're all over the place.
00:04:37.000Bahrain, where our fifth fleet headquarters is, which was already hit, the majority of the people there are Shia.
00:04:43.000And Iranian activity on that island has always been the main security threat to that regime.
00:05:04.000It's because it's a jumping off point in the United States.
00:05:08.000They have longstanding connections to the cartels who we just schwacked a week or so ago.
00:05:14.000So they will take it worldwide and potentially they will take it onto our soil and they will take it into a realm where they feel they can stand with us, where conventional capabilities and missiles and aircraft carriers don't count for very much.
00:05:44.000The people in Iran today or their parents or grandparents are the ones that brought the Islamic Revolution and threw out the Shah, who was our biggest ally at the time.
00:05:53.000But he's calling on those people, you've got a shot now to take back your government.
00:05:57.000How deep is the discontent in Persia, you know, after 47 years and obviously what was a, at the time, a nation trying to build a middle class is now looks like in relative poverty about where they should be.
00:06:12.000As your assessment as an intelligence officer, how much, how deep is this discontent go and are these people waiting?
00:06:21.000President Trump says now is the hour of your liberty.
00:06:43.000But wanting that and making it happen are two different things.
00:06:46.000These guys, the regime just killed, as far as I can tell, somewhere around 30,000 of their own citizens in the streets to crush the demonstrations that happened recently.
00:07:01.000They are, the level, there is no limit to the amount of force and brutality they will use.
00:07:08.000So, you know, to overthrow a regime like that, you really need organization and planning and assistance.
00:07:16.000It's not as simple as just saying everybody go out in the street and take over.
00:07:21.000Now, I hope to God that happens because that would be wonderful for the Persian people to be free.
00:07:27.000But wishing it is so and making it so are two totally different things.
00:07:33.000Well, to do this, okay, so you have, there's never, at least in modern times with air power, there's never been a regime change just on air power alone.
00:07:59.000Do you think, besides the Mossad, do you think we've done enough infiltration to actually work with those, you know, John Solomon's on here earlier and John's out on a skiff right now.
00:08:10.000He'll be back with us later, but saying that MEK and the Kurds and all these disparate elements that, quite frankly, are anti-Ayatollah and certainly anti-regime.
00:08:22.000Do you think there's been enough infiltration of all these different groups or can people put aside 30,000 that got slaughtered and say, hey, if the Americans are going to come in and flatten the Ayatollah's house,
00:08:34.000it's time for us to rise up, grab what we can, convince the military, if not the Revolutionary Guard, and let's get on.
00:08:41.000Let's meet the moment when President Trump says, now is the hour of your liberty.
00:08:47.000No, I don't think there's been enough infiltration.
00:08:50.000I mean, people think about Iraq and the efforts we went to to ultimately convince the Iraqis to essentially give up Saddam Hussein.
00:08:58.000OK, but still it came down to us having to put troops on the ground.
00:09:02.000And look, I was inside Iraq with the team for a year in advance of that invasion.
00:09:06.000But I was already building on efforts that the CIA had been sustaining for many years.
00:09:13.000We never walked away from the Kurds, never walked away.
00:09:16.000So we had been working that problem for year after year after year to build that.
00:09:22.000Do we have that inside Iran? We do not.
00:09:24.000If this regime falls, if there is this collapse, my estimation, it will be because some guys who are in power at the top
00:09:36.000effectively stage what amounts to a coup and say, enough of this, we got to change course.
00:10:25.000And that's how and that's how that that happened.
00:10:28.000Do I think we have those contacts at that level of the Iranian regime now?
00:10:32.000No, but we could still hope that somebody or some buddies, you know, who are not at the very top say, look, these idiots, we got to we got to jump ship here.
00:10:45.000These guys are going to destroy the country that that'll be in my estimation how it happens, not spontaneously people in the street.
00:10:52.000That's that's where they're putting that's where either some military part of the military or the IGRC say, hey, look, we got to save the nation.
00:11:41.000A lot of people in the West and particularly Fox News particularly has had him on a lot.
00:11:46.000Is there any potential or any enthusiasm that you see, given your knowledge of this region, any appetite to bring the Shah or his family back in some sort of these monarchists?
00:12:00.000I think the Chalabi analogy is dead on.
00:12:03.000I mean, if he wants to be Shah of like old town Alexandria or something, I guess maybe that's relevant.
00:12:09.000But he's another one of these characters that's well-known and well-loved in Western European capitals in Washington, D.C.
00:12:17.000He is not the guy to lead the country, and I don't think he has any huge following.
00:12:21.000I know over the years working with real Iranian patriots, guys who were going back inside the country and working for freedom that they generally disparaged him as a fraud and somebody who wouldn't get in the fight, wouldn't risk anything, but wanted to pretend that he was going to return one day.
00:12:42.000Talk to me about MEK. Explain who MEK is because MEK has been put up today, the Kurds, etc.
00:12:48.000You got, it's called Iran now, but it's essentially Persia.
00:12:51.000You do have some smaller groups there.
00:12:53.000MEK, are they not a combination of, and they've been fighting this and they got Rudy and other people that have been big supporters of them over the years and decades of these conferences.
00:13:02.000What is MEK and do they have a potential to step in here?
00:13:07.000No, they don't have a potential to step in.
00:13:09.000I mean, they've been affiliated with the Iraqis amongst other things and communist groups and so forth.
00:13:14.000No, they are another group that is really good at playing outside of Iran and pretending that they are a major force.
00:13:24.000And no, they're not, they're, they are not somebody, they're not an outfit that's going to lead the way on anything.
00:13:33.000I know you got a blow out of here at noon.
00:13:35.000You've got it. By the way, are you giving a speech today?
00:13:37.000Is anything we can promote where Sam Faddis is going to be?
00:13:40.000Because Sam Faddis is both a great intelligence and you're one of the leaders of the patriot movement in Pennsylvania.
00:13:45.000I'm going to be down in Bucks County at an event sponsored by Right for Bucks, which is one of the premier patriot groups in the state of Pennsylvania and addressing, addressing those folks.
00:13:59.000They are as MAGA as you can, as you can get.
00:14:02.000And they asked me to come down there and I, they have been in a fight for years.
00:14:28.000We're going to get to all of it to make sure that you've got every tool in the toolbox to make sure you can think through as America at least commences major combat operations in Iran.
00:14:42.000Looks like it could be spilling out in some other areas.
00:14:48.000We'll make it all make sense next in the war room.
00:14:51.000Imagine having the world's most connected financial insider feeding you vital information.
00:15:05.000The kind of information only a handful of people have access to.
00:15:10.000And that could create a fortune for those who know what to do with it.
00:15:15.000That's exactly what you get when you join our frequent guest and contributor, Jim Rickards, in his elite research service, Strategic Intelligence.
00:15:25.000Inside Strategic Intelligence, you'll hear directly from Jim and receive critical updates on major financial and political events before they hit the mainstream news.
00:15:35.000He'll put you in front of the story and tell you exactly what moves to make for your best chance to profit.
00:15:42.000As a proud American, you do not want to be caught off guard.
00:15:46.000Sign up for Strategic Intelligence right now at our exclusive website.
00:16:10.000Okay, we got Brandon Weikert and Dr. Thayer we're going to go to momentarily for updates.
00:16:14.000But I want to go to the White House, our own Neil McCabe.
00:16:17.000A speaker, as we had Mike Johnson, or Susan, we had Mike Davis up here talking about the authorization because already the Democrats are pushing back and some others.
00:16:27.000Speaker Johnson's given the president a little bit of air cover, has he not?
00:16:32.000Can you read the Speaker Johnson statement?
00:16:38.000Of course, you know, Johnson, of course, is a constitutional lawyer, and so I think that's why he was motivated to do this.
00:16:46.000Today, Iran is facing severe consequences of its evil actions.
00:16:50.000President Trump and the administration have made every effort to pursue peaceful and diplomatic solutions in response to the Iranian regime's sustained nuclear ambitions, development, and terrorism, and the murder of Americans, even their own people.
00:17:06.000And I'll just skip down to the key paragraph.
00:17:09.000The Gang of Eight was briefed in detail earlier this week that military action may be necessary to protect American troops and American citizens in Iran.
00:17:20.000I received updates from Secretary Rubio thereafter.
00:17:23.000Hold it. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.
00:17:54.000Well, it would mean that there are probably, I think that, I think he's laying out a constitutional marker, and that's what was necessary, and he's probably referring to contractors and other people there.
00:18:08.000I'm not sure we have a lot of contractors in Iran.
00:18:14.000If we have contractors, they're guys like Eric.
00:18:21.000I'm not sure there's a lot of contractors in Iran.
00:18:23.000I could be wrong, but I don't know if that's a justification.
00:18:26.000So, essentially, he's saying what has been this controversy, that Rubio, the Gang of Eight, is both the intelligence folks from both sides.
00:18:39.000So, the party in control, which are the Republicans in the Senate, in the House, and the ranking members on these intelligence and armed services committee, they get all the certain briefings, the high-level briefings.
00:18:51.000So, Rubio went up there and briefed the Gang of Eight.
00:18:54.000Now, Schumer and others are saying it wasn't enough.
00:18:59.000They didn't understand what's going on.
00:19:01.000Do you think this is going to be enough?
00:19:03.000Mike Davis says, hey, he's already got authorization, and he's just going to use what we've been using for 25 years.
00:19:08.000Is that what you're hearing out of the White House?
00:19:10.000Well, I haven't heard anything from the White House.
00:19:15.000They said that there was going to be no statement from the president, despite rumors.
00:19:21.000They pushed the pool call time to 2 p.m., but I think that this is following what Mike Davis said.
00:19:28.000This is the pre-bottle, and he's basically going down the constitutional checklist of what is required.
00:19:35.000And I think Johnson basically did this to give air cover, like you said, although there are people on Capitol Hill, Thomas Massey among them, who are challenging this effort as unconstitutional.
00:19:54.000Number one, I just want to make sure the White House has come out and said all this rumor that the president is going to address the nation in another announcement.
00:21:39.000I have gotten confirmation that the radar that was supposedly hit this morning, our radar in Bahrain,
00:21:47.000$300 million piece of equipment, ANTPS-59, is destroyed.
00:21:53.000There are likely more damage to other radar systems now.
00:21:58.000The key thing here to remember, Steve, it is very obvious now that the Iranian strategy
00:22:03.000is to first degrade American, Arab, and Israeli abilities to detect incoming missiles.
00:22:10.000I just got word from somebody on the ground in the Middle East.
00:22:13.000Their belief is that Iran is attempting to degrade all of our air defenses in the region, believing that they will be depleted soon,
00:22:23.000and then they are preparing to launch a massive swarm attack with our depleted air defenses not being able to defend against them.
00:22:31.000Again, we don't know for sure if that's going to happen, but I do think that seems to be the plan right now.
00:22:37.000The U.S. air defenses, as I said earlier, though, have held up relatively so far, but it does seem like these are all shaping operations, Steve.
00:22:46.000I don't think the big one has even started yet, and there's rumors now that the British might be coming in to backfill some of these air defense systems,
00:22:59.000Haifa is also, by the way, Haifa may have been hit as well in the last hour.
00:23:03.000That is still waiting to be confirmed, but there is some compelling video that's been released in the last 30 minutes
00:23:08.000that indicates perhaps an Iranian long-range missile did, in fact, get through.
00:23:14.000Explain to the audience, when you say shaping, these are all shaping evolutions.
00:23:19.000What does a shaping evolution in the early stages of combat operations mean?
00:23:25.000Yeah, it's just like the name suggests.
00:23:27.000Basically, before the big battle or the big war initiates, you want to go in and kind of mold the environment through directed attacks and sort of covert maneuvers
00:23:37.000so that your main forces, when they arrive, have as much maneuvering room and favorable environment, a permissive environment as possible.
00:23:56.000But if you look at the size of this thing, to me, it doesn't seem yet large enough to accomplish that which President Trump is claiming he wants to accomplish.
00:24:05.000So that's why I say it's shaping operations.
00:24:10.000If we can't replace Starmer, the UK prime minister, let's go and play it.
00:24:14.000As part of our commitments to the security of our allies in the Middle East, we have a range of defensive capabilities in the region, which we've recently strengthened.
00:24:28.000Our forces are active and British planes are in the sky today as part of coordinated regional defensive operations to protect our people, our interests and our allies.
00:24:47.000Dr. Bradley Thayer, correct me if I'm wrong, it was a week ago that they said we couldn't even use the air base that we have, I think Fairfield, that we have most of our assets at because the Muslim minority, 57 Muslim members of parliament that are labor guys didn't want any asset of the United States to be striking an Islamic republic.
00:25:11.000Now, what is Starmer telling us now, sir?
00:25:14.000Well, it's a positive step for Keir Starmer, finally, that he's supporting the US in this operation at a time where we need allies, not only the Gulf shakedoms, Saudi Arabia, but it's very nice and important that the British are involved in this operation.
00:25:36.000So, you know, now we're focusing, Steve, of course, and rightfully so on the conduct of the war.
00:25:43.000We also need to start thinking about the consequences of this war.
00:25:48.000When we're thinking about the conduct, you and Sam nailed it.
00:25:52.000It's can air power bring about regime change, air power in conjunction with Israeli special operators and US special operators who would be working with Iranians, the Iranian mass level and then also Iranian groups.
00:26:10.000It's that's the missing piece of the puzzle here.
00:26:14.000Can that actually come about without having the theocracy murder their own people in greater numbers than Sam identified, which is shocking, or have Iran devolve into civil war?
00:26:30.000So we might begin thinking about situations like Iraq in 1991, where we're going to have to have a semi-permanent no-fly zone, where we're going to have to have dedicated military assets to ensuring that Iran stays together as a country if we want it to stay together, that the theocracy cannot kill its own people.
00:26:57.000And that the the humanitarian needs of the Iranian people are going to be addressed.
00:27:07.000So the conduct of the war is ongoing, obviously, a lot to focus on in the days and likely weeks to come.
00:27:37.000They view those as major allies to themselves.
00:27:40.000They're very involved, obviously, in everything dealing with oil and gas in the region.
00:27:45.000Old British Petroleum has deep roots in the region.
00:27:49.000Short commercial break and return with observations and analysis of major combat operations in Iran and maybe other places next in the war.
00:28:01.000If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt?
00:28:09.000Let's see if we can help you with that.
00:28:12.000If we could give yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief from your credit card and other debt?
00:28:31.000They sell a right off the debt to clear their books.
00:28:34.000That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before your end.
00:28:43.000That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.
00:28:49.000And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage.
00:28:52.000They monitor lender trends and understand the year-end pressure on creditors.
00:28:57.000They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf.
00:29:01.000Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy or taking on new loans.
00:29:09.000Done 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.
00:29:19.000Get started now because your leverage may disappear at the end of the year.
00:29:25.000Chat with a Done With Debt specialist at donewithdebt.com.
00:29:42.000I think now, more than ever, particularly when the market's open on Monday, maybe you talk to Philip Patrick and the team over the weekend.
00:29:49.000Take your phone out, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N-9-8-9-8-9-8-9-8.
00:30:37.000Mo, this is what you talked about yesterday at West Point, that it's time to focus on war fighting because situations like this are going to pop up.
00:30:57.000So we need to focus, like I said, in both board meetings, we need to get back to focusing on war fighting because if these future graduates deploy in support of an operation, the American people need to have full faith and confidence that they can lead America's sons and daughters.
00:31:13.000You had your turn in the barrel, what, Kuwait, Iraq?
00:31:35.000Sam Faddis and Captain Fennell the same to take time away from your Saturdays.
00:31:39.000Sam, you've got to head down to Bucks County.
00:31:42.000I just want to get your thoughts since you really have expertise in the region and particularly what President Trump talked about.
00:31:48.000President Trump said, now is the hour of your liberty.
00:31:52.000With all these things going on, I'm essentially, you know, telling the Ayatollahs and the Mullahs either stand down or they're going to get hit.
00:32:00.000But he was pretty specific, I thought, saying the Persian people, it's going to be your baby.
00:32:07.000Your thoughts about all this as we're beginning the first day of this major combat operations?
00:32:12.000Well, I think, first of all, that being the goal and what we have seen in the scale of the deployments by the United States, it is clear we're not talking about a day of airstrikes or two days of airstrikes.
00:32:24.000This is going to be a sustained operation, go on for some time.
00:32:30.000We can hope that the Iranian regime collapses, and I'll be the first guy to celebrate if that happens, having devoted a big chunk of my life to that cause.
00:32:40.000But if it doesn't collapse and you've got these guys against their backs against the wall and you've made it an existential fight, you can expect them to lash out in every way they can.
00:32:53.000And I think increasingly you will see that will be unconventional.
00:32:57.000They will fight us where they feel they have the advantage or they can at least stand toe to toe with us.
00:33:54.000They, you know, all kidding aside, they are for real.
00:33:58.000There are lots of folks like we could see Bahrain being bombs going off all over Manama, all over Bahrain by Shia militia, Shia terrorist groups affiliated with the Iranians.
00:34:36.000And I realize a lot of people and people in the MAGA movement saying, hey, I thought we were stopping forever wars.
00:34:41.000But President Trump, to me, was pretty blunt in this eight minute address to the nation in the middle of the night or to the world and saying that they're kind of their run of doing this is over.
00:34:54.000Yeah, I think that's clearly his intent.
00:34:56.000He said that as clearly as you possibly could.
00:35:29.000Captain Fennell, you also have got a punch out on us.
00:35:31.000You've been spectacular over the last couple of weeks.
00:35:33.000Your assessment of what you've seen, at least in the early stages of the combat, major combat operations, air and sea, sir.
00:35:44.000Yeah, I think Brandon's right to use the term shaping operations.
00:35:49.000We have to declaw the Iranian military threat to our forces.
00:35:53.000The president said our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats, menacing activities that directly endanger the United States, our troops and our overseas bases and our allies.
00:36:08.000And going after ballistic missile sites, going after surface-to-air missile sites, going after anti-ship cruise missile sites, anti-ballistic missile sites against our ships, all of those and their naval forces.
00:36:21.000Obviously, air forces are no threat to us.
00:36:24.000So I said last week when we were on, we talked about the difference between air superiority, building to air supremacy.
00:36:30.000We're in that phase right now where we're building.
00:36:35.000We want to establish the ability to fly over Iran without the risk to our aircraft so that we can call down fires on any additional forces that try to generate these waves of missile attacks or drone attacks.
00:36:48.000And so that's what we're shaping towards.
00:36:51.000And you asked, why was this happening now?
00:36:52.000Well, I can tell you one reason it may be happening now is starting on the 4th of March in Beijing, we'll have the National People's Congress.
00:37:00.000Xi Jinping and the Communist Party of China will be focused from 4 to 11 March on their National People's Congress.
00:37:07.000And given all the purges and all the other things that's going on in China, they're going to be diverted from getting involved with this, at least for now.
00:37:14.000They probably already have been involved, but that's going to be very hard for them to insert themselves now.
00:37:19.000We're running the cards in the table on this right now and rolling back the decades of military capabilities that the Iranians have received from the Russians and the Chinese.
00:37:31.000That is the objective right now to then be able to do the follow on larger strikes that will be able to take out more of the forces that are used against the Iranian people.
00:37:41.000So I would say President Trump picked the perfect time.
00:37:45.000Remember, last week you had those articles in Axios that said that the chairman was against the strike, everybody, and then you brought on the Omani delegate.
00:37:55.000So there was a lot of deception that went on here.
00:37:58.000And we always think that the Chinese are very good at deception.
00:38:01.000But I think President Trump is as well.
00:38:04.000And I think at the tactical and operational level, we will be using deception to be able to ferret out these remaining parts of the Iranian military regime that can strike outside of their shores and borders so that we're not constantly at threat.
00:38:17.000I made many transits through the Strait of Hormuz.
00:38:20.000It's always a dangerous and deadly risk when you go through there because you're essentially driving through their missile envelopes.
00:38:28.000And we need to eliminate that so that the free flow of goods and services and oil and everything else that comes in and out isn't under the hostage threat from the Iranians.
00:38:39.000And so I think that's what we're doing right now.
00:38:41.000We're shaping the environment to roll those threats back so that we can operate with freedom and have air and sea supremacy in the region.
00:38:50.000Do you think, you know, I think at most the Straits of Hormuz 21 miles geographically, but the strait itself is much tighter, as you know, having gone through there.
00:39:00.000Do you believe that one of the things I think we have to do, I'd be surprised if we haven't done it, but I haven't heard it, cut off the oil coming out and going to the CCP?
00:39:10.000Because I think it's 40 percent of the CCP's energy, but it's like 80 or 90 percent now of the cash flow going to the mullahs.
00:39:19.000If it takes Scott Besson's destruction of their currency, you add this.
00:39:23.000Have you heard any word or anything you've seen?
00:39:26.000Those like we've at least begun a naval blockade or quarantine against their oil going to the Chinese Communist Party?
00:39:32.000I don't think anybody's shipping oil through the strait of Hormuz today.
00:39:36.000And so it depends on how long this goes, what conditions we establish.
00:39:40.000But I think that is obviously one of the objectives is to cut off the money to the mullahs and also an ancillary impact is to, you know, remind China their vulnerabilities and that they need to behave and not consider other activities in their region out there in the Indo-Pacific.
00:39:57.000But I would say with the forces that we have there right now, nobody is going to with the missiles that will be flying, have been flying and can continue to fly.
00:40:07.000I don't see commercial oil tankers going in and out right now, not for not for the near term.
00:40:13.000You're talking air superiority, really air dominance.
00:40:15.000Once you have air dominance, you're saying just have it.
00:40:17.000You have your will to hit them when you want, where you want and how you want.
00:40:22.000Real quickly, because now you've got to bounce.
00:40:45.000So all these carriers are tied into this joint commander that's probably in gutter with and they run what they call an air tasking order.
00:40:53.000So the air component commander will be leading an orchestration of targets that have been selected, you know, years ago, weeks ago, months ago, built up.
00:41:04.000We'll know where a lot of this stuff is.
00:41:07.000Targets assigned to the specific airframes from the Air Force, from the Navy, assigned to our TLAM.
00:41:14.000A lot of TLAMs will be used, probably already been used.
00:41:21.000And that cycle of targeting that goes on on a on a it's a 24 hour basis that we're just constantly assessing, evaluating and going after targets.
00:41:31.000If we see that we missed something, we'll go back after it.
00:41:34.000If we see something moving, those are time sensitive targets.
00:41:37.000We'll go after the time sensitive targets.
00:41:39.000So that process is well honed since Desert Storm, where the Navy and the Air Force really started getting together in what they call the Joint Force Air Component Commander concept to coordinate and orchestrate our air operations, not just with aircraft, but with our Navy ships and submarines and their TLAM and all fires.
00:41:58.000All fires, all fires from all services.
00:42:01.000All services that are involved that are able to project power will be coordinated through this system that we have.
00:42:08.000And everybody is dialed into this and is aware of what's going on in not just only their portion, but the larger portion.
00:42:16.000And so if somebody gets taken out in one sector, that can a leadership role can be taken by another another place.
00:42:22.000So if somebody were to take out the JFAC in gutter, we could pick up operations with our two carriers or even back in Tampa at CENTCOM.
00:42:31.000So there's a lot of flexibility that we have in command and control.
00:42:34.000And those are from years of less, 35 years of lessons that we have learned as a joint force to bring fires like this.
00:42:43.000And so it's really about sustainment and how we can continue to go for as long as we need to until we achieve all those targeting objectives that we've set forward in the plan that was put forward and that we're executing right now.
00:42:57.000Major combat operations, Captain Finnell, former Naval Intelligence Head of the Pacific Fleet.
00:43:04.000Thank you so much for joining us, sir. I appreciate you always.
00:44:19.000The doctor reviews it and your meds arrive in a few days.
00:44:23.000War room listeners keep saying how smooth the process is and how much they love this, how grateful they are to finally have a pharmacy that gets them.
00:44:33.000These folks at all family pharmacy are breaking the control of these big pharmaceutical distribution systems.
00:44:41.000So if you haven't already checked them out, go to all family pharmacy dot com slash Bannon and use code Bannon 10 for 10 percent off your essential medications.
00:46:28.000The tension between the Department of War and Anthropic has come to the breaking point.
00:46:34.000Of course, Anthropic is now being cut off from all contracts with the U.S. military and any contractors that deal with the U.S. military.
00:46:44.000Immediately after that, you had Sam Altman stepping in, saying that OpenAI would take over with the analysis of classified documents with their AI.
00:46:55.000So it shows you that the power of this technology is not simply a hype campaign by the Silicon Valley set.
00:47:05.000The power of this technology is being recognized by the Department of War.
00:47:09.000I fear that the Department of War has not really reckoned with the dangers of this technology and the inaccuracies this technology brings.
00:47:17.000But this is a critical moment, not only geopolitically, not only culturally, but on a technological level.
00:47:25.000And this is why Humans First was formed.
00:47:28.000And this is why we are trying our best to use the means that we have at our disposal to put the power back with the American people
00:47:38.000and to in any way possible to give American people agency over where this technology goes.
00:47:45.000Talk to me about Humans First. I want everybody to get to it. We've had all these people of the coalition.

00:49:34.000I got to tell you, Governor DeSantis, Governor DeSantis has been on point on this thing, Joe Allen.
00:51:03.000And we got, I see a Shaheed drone, one of the ones that got popular in Ukraine war, made its way into Bahrain and took out the fifth fleet radar dome, billion dollar dome by a 30,000.
00:51:17.000A billion dollar radar dome was taken out by a $30,000 drone.
00:51:21.000So we got to, we got to, we got to take these things out before they can launch.
00:51:26.000We needed, we needed to dominate the sky in Iran and take out everything before it hit, before they can get, get their weapons into the air.
00:51:34.000Where do people, where do people go to get updates for you? You're putting it up. Where do they go? We only get a minute left.
