00:00:00.000 Iranian regime armed with long-range missiles and nuclear weapons would be an intolerable threat 0.99
00:00:05.440 to the Middle East but also to the American people. Our country itself would be under threat
00:00:14.580 and it was very nearly under threat. I was very proud to have knocked out the Iran nuclear deal
00:00:20.920 by President Barack Hussein Obama. That was a horrible, horrible, dangerous document. They
00:00:27.840 would have had nuclear weapons. We're just getting this information from the Israeli military right now.
00:00:33.040 They say that they have hit, their words, dozens of targets belonging to the Iranian regime and its 0.79
00:00:38.460 intelligence services in Tehran. So they're putting that out there. Now we've seen evidence, right? As
00:00:43.860 I mentioned, Colonel, we've seen some of the images but they're now saying specifically dozens and
00:00:48.560 they're giving a bit more detail as I'm speaking here. They're saying that those dozens of strikes
00:00:53.060 specifically targeted headquarters, bases and regional command centers of, and I'm quoting
00:00:59.760 them, the Iranian terrorist regime's internal security bodies. Now that's coming from a statement
00:01:04.260 that the IDF has just put out. He never talked about the goal being getting rid of just the ruler
00:01:11.480 Ali Khamenei. He talked about the Iranian regime regime. He mentioned it nine times. He called for
00:01:16.840 members of the Revolutionary Guard and the army and all of the police to lay down their weapons or face
00:01:22.680 certain death. And he called for the Iranian people to take over your government. That is regime
00:01:28.520 change. This morning, Pete Hegg says, says this isn't about regime change. And then the president
00:01:34.260 at the Medal of Honor ceremonies you just played, he's saying, oh, this is about reducing their ballistic
00:01:37.880 missile capabilities, their nuclear things. And they've sort of exaggerated the missile capability. So
00:01:43.220 it's all very confusing. And then in the middle of those two events on Sunday,
00:01:48.220 the president spoke with the New York Times and talked about how the Venezuela situation,
00:01:52.240 which was just the ruler Maduro and his wife being ousted, how that was a perfect solution.
00:01:57.460 So it's all very jumbled at this point.
00:01:59.820 This is a discussion that has not been had because he bypassed Congress.
00:02:03.280 The accountability mechanism.
00:02:04.400 A president has the right to take military action for 60 days.
00:02:08.940 If there's an imminent threat. And there is no imminent threat.
00:02:12.160 Well, that might be your opinion.
00:02:13.960 That's not my opinion.
00:02:15.280 I sit on the Armed Services and Intelligence Committee. If there are imminent threats,
00:02:18.500 they have an obligation to tell us about it. I have seen no imminent threat. And even people
00:02:23.440 within the administration have denied that there's an imminent threat. So listen, I...
00:02:27.480 Do you think eventually there'll be a need for boots on the ground?
00:02:31.580 I would not exclude it for those reasons or other, but we'll have to see how it goes.
00:02:36.320 And will that include Israeli boots on the ground, do you think?
00:02:38.660 I exclude nothing. We've been waiting for 47 years.
00:02:42.940 And we came to a point where every necessary means should be taken in order to achieve our goals.
00:02:50.300 Yeah, and it certainly appeared, at least from what we understand from the reporting,
00:02:53.240 that the human intelligence, so central to the initial strike here,
00:02:56.460 actually came from possibly a CIA intelligence agent on the ground, as opposed to Israeli,
00:03:03.600 which we know, obviously, they have a deep network within Iran, but that that was CIA specifically.
00:03:08.320 Well, let's take two of the objectives off the table. That would be regime change and
00:03:13.580 Iranian support from militias around the region. That leaves three goals, which is their nuclear 0.96
00:03:19.060 program, their missile capabilities, and their navy. And to destroy all the targets associated with
00:03:26.780 those three areas, I think would take four to six weeks at a minimum. And then, of course,
00:03:35.980 we'll have to get the battle damage assessment and re-engage those that either we missed or that
00:03:41.900 new targets pop up. But it's going to be an extensive campaign. This is not going to be over in a matter of
00:03:48.720 days.
00:03:51.320 This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on
00:03:59.780 these people. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people, the people have had a
00:04:06.620 belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you've tried to do everything in the
00:04:10.320 world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like
00:04:13.920 that go to share the big line? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a
00:04:22.140 conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country,
00:04:30.280 this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:04:41.880 It's Monday, the 2nd of March in the year of our Lord, 2026. We are in, we're in it now as this war
00:04:49.920 starts to spread or this military operation starts to spread into other parts of the Middle East.
00:04:58.220 We've had many of the Gulf states start to participate in this. And I understand that there's
00:05:03.980 real anger from some of the Gulf states about the Persians hitting them during Ramadan. So this,
00:05:12.300 in fact, is a bunch of pieces up, some reporting done that the Saudis are talking to the Americans
00:05:19.540 right now, talking to us about actually doing their own independent strikes. There's so much
00:05:24.200 going on here. Today, two things. First of all, I had President Trump's first time actually live
00:05:29.540 to address this at the Medal of Honor ceremony in the East Room. Said some very powerful stuff about
00:05:37.740 what drove him to do it and what we should look for. Also, this morning at 8 o'clock, we covered it
00:05:44.340 here live in Real America's Voice, but we didn't have time to play the package. We showed Pete Hegseth
00:05:48.620 in the morning show, but we didn't have a chance to show a package on General Raisin Cain. Remember,
00:05:54.360 General Cain, just to put it in perspective, the ISIS campaign in President Trump's first term in 2017
00:06:01.580 that was so successful. Remember, President Obama has said it would be a generational effort to take
00:06:07.380 down ISIS. When I talk about ISIS, I mean the caliphate, the physical caliphate of ISIS that was,
00:06:12.860 I don't know, a third of Iraq and 50 percent of Syria, it seemed like at the time, but it was quite
00:06:18.460 large, had oil revenues, was recruiting 10,000 people a month, individuals a month, principally
00:06:24.340 from Europe, from the mass migrations in Europe and other converts. President Trump committed on the
00:06:30.600 campaign trail he was going to destroy ISIS. I think it took four or five months. Now, Jim Mattis,
00:06:36.220 Mad Dog Mattis, or chaos as his call sign was, was the Secretary of Defense, but it was really
00:06:42.680 Raisin Cain, General Cain, that ran the operations. That's where President Trump first met him,
00:06:48.040 and he was so impressed with General Cain during the ISIS campaign of the first term that he brought
00:06:54.660 him back as chairman of the Joint Chiefs. General Cain has done the expeditionary hit that ended the
00:07:02.740 12-day war with total obliteration, at least at that time their assessment was, total obliteration
00:07:07.680 operation of Iran's nuclear program. And then he led the expeditionary effort, this magnificent
00:07:12.840 expeditionary effort, to essentially decapitate Maduro and his wife as the head of the regime
00:07:19.100 there. They made a deal with the existing regime and seemed to have at least built a working
00:07:24.020 relationship. President Trump, and President Trump likes optionality and a range of alternatives that
00:07:31.060 he's not boxed in, that he can maneuver. I think he's been talking about optionality. He says,
00:07:36.420 hey, this thing could take four or five weeks. I don't know. He's not going to put a time on it.
00:07:40.600 He's also talked to Brett Baer. His paradigm here is Venezuela, and he believes he's already done
00:07:46.900 Venezuela. Also, they have not, I think for operational security and other reasons, given
00:07:51.460 the in-depth briefing, which my understanding is maybe the Navy commander of the naval forces may give
00:07:58.080 that tomorrow or the next day of how lethal some of this action has been. My understanding is that
00:08:04.800 they've gone down to very, very deep with the Revolutionary Guard, even down to the battalion
00:08:11.220 level, to decapitate not just the mullahs, not the ayatollah and the mullahs and the next in line.
00:08:17.480 President Trump is pretty upfront. He says, hey, we had two or three guys that were supposedly in line
00:08:23.000 we thought we could deal with, but guess what? They're all dead. So there's been, I think,
00:08:28.080 a deeper strike into their, uh, into their, um, uh, into the command structure. I want to play
00:08:35.500 Raisin Cane. Can we go ahead and play? We got Raisin Cane and we have Marco Rubio. I want to break
00:08:39.680 them both down. We don't have Raisin Cane? Terrific. Um, I tell you, let me go into the next, uh, hang
00:08:46.520 up for Rubio for a second. We can break that in pieces, I take it. Thank you, sir. Um, Marco Rubio
00:08:53.200 gave a, I think I wouldn't say impromptu. He was at the sticks, but he gave about a 12 or 13 minute.
00:08:58.980 I think it was one of the best explanations, uh, that we've had so far of what's going on. General
00:09:03.300 Cain gave a terrific briefing, uh, earlier today with Pete Hex that took a, took a question or two
00:09:09.180 from the, um, from the audience or from the reporters. It was not Norman Schwarzkopf. I think
00:09:17.400 that the Pentagon may eventually go to that. I think maybe the Navy Admiral, maybe General Cain,
00:09:22.080 where you're going to see some video. Once they're, once they're confident about the operational
00:09:26.540 security, I think you'll see some video. I think you'll see some maps, some charts.
00:09:31.800 Maybe they have a ruler and point up at it and walk you through it. Remember if you're old enough
00:09:35.820 to remember, I think you have to be a boomer to be that, uh, General Norman Schwarzkopf in the Gulf
00:09:41.540 War really became an expert in these presentations. It kind of galvanized the nations, made him a national 0.57
00:09:47.240 hero and garnered, I think, tremendous support for the military effort over there because people could
00:09:53.100 understand it. Also a couple of things, housekeeping, uh, number one, gold finished at what 5340. It's not
00:09:59.060 the price of gold. It's the process that drives it. We've talked a lot about, uh, financial risk,
00:10:05.880 the risk of the dollar, these massive deficits under Biden, uh, the drop in the purchasing power of the
00:10:12.580 dollar that was going to get the BRICS nations going, the central banks buying gold. We said, we'll lay
00:10:17.100 that out for you. You have to make your own decisions, but we want to make you as smart as
00:10:21.040 possible. Also that geopolitics, a fancy term for, I don't know, war and peace, uh, was also because
00:10:27.520 the business community, financial community markets like stability. Uh, and obviously when the balloon is
00:10:34.100 up and people are shooting at each other, particularly in a region like the Gulf where so much of the
00:10:38.260 world's oil, I think 20% of the world's oil goes through the streets or moves today, particularly
00:10:42.420 to Asia, uh, into parts of Europe that, that leads to instability. And that's why gold has been a
00:10:48.140 hedge. When I say a hedge, it's something that can protect you against times of financial turbulence,
00:10:53.580 birchgold.com, promo code Bannon, end of the dollar empire. Make sure you get that. Cane or Rubio?
00:10:58.800 Okay, fine. Let's go ahead and play. I'll tell you what, go to Birch Gold, get all the,
00:11:03.280 and Birch Gold's got a website. They put tons of information on Philip Patrick. I think Philip
00:11:07.740 Patrick's going to be with us tomorrow. Natalie Winters is going to also join us tomorrow. She's got an
00:11:11.240 amazing piece up about open borders and going after Iran, the price you might have to pay.
00:11:17.140 Nino Rodriguez is going to be with us in the six o'clock hour. Like I said, Nino really broke that
00:11:22.180 story yesterday, but for operational security reason, uh, we didn't talk about it because had
00:11:27.120 not been totally confirmed by the FBI. Let's go ahead and play a couple of minutes of General
00:11:31.400 Kane, and then I'll come back after the break. Let's go and let it rip. 0.98
00:11:34.180 On Saturday, 28 February at 0115 Eastern Standard Time, 945 AM local Tehran time, on the orders
00:11:44.780 of the President of the United States, U.S. Central Command under the command of United States
00:11:49.460 Navy Admiral Brad Cooper commenced Operation Epic Fury. As I said, I'm going to walk you through
00:11:55.140 the initial phases of the operation, but first I want to express my deep condolences and the
00:12:01.620 condolences of the joint force to the Department of War personnel killed and wounded in action thus
00:12:07.840 far. As the Secretary said, they're heroes and represent the best of our nation has to offer.
00:12:14.220 They're true examples of what selfless service means. Our deepest and heartfelt condolences are
00:12:19.900 with their families, their friends, and their units. We grieve with you and we will never forget you.
00:12:25.860 Additionally, I stand here before you today grateful for each service member, planner, logistician,
00:12:32.400 operator across our joint force. For our Department of War civilians, our intelligence community
00:12:38.060 teammates, our interagency teammates who continue to stand in harm's way alongside us. I am proud of
00:12:46.020 all of you as you take the fight to the enemy, and we are the best in the world at integrating,
00:12:51.300 period. I want to extend my personal gratitude to the dedicated commanders and senior enlisted leaders
00:12:59.600 and the enlisted members of the joint force who are fighting this fight across the CENTCOM AOR.
00:13:05.660 In addition to Admiral Cooper and Fleet Master Chief Compton, I want to highlight a few today.
00:13:12.420 U.S. Army Central Command Commander Lieutenant General Pat Frank, who along with his team are fighting the
00:13:18.960 counter-missile and counter-drone fight. United States Navy Central Command Commander Vice Admiral
00:13:25.860 Kurt Renshaw and his team, who are engaged with the Iranian Navy and projecting American naval combat
00:13:33.120 power from the seas. And United States Air Force Central Command Commander Lieutenant General Derek France
00:13:40.000 and his leadership team, who are crushing Iranian targets from the air. I want to highlight the support
00:13:46.900 to the CENTCOM fight from other combatant commands who are directly involved with this effort to include
00:13:52.840 U.S. Space Com, U.S. Cyber Com, and U.S. U-Com. I also want to specifically call out United States
00:14:01.500 Transportation Command and U.S. STRATCOM for their contributions to this fight. We cannot project
00:14:09.080 American combat power at the time and place of our choosing without both. And finally, I want to express
00:14:15.540 how deeply thankful I am for the continued service and sacrifice of the entire joint force
00:14:21.460 and their families. Their unwavering commitment and dedication are the cornerstones of this effort.
00:14:29.580 Okay, we're going to take a short break and we're going to come back after commercial break and
00:14:33.880 continue on with General Cain. As I said, the president holds him in the highest regard and you see right
00:14:39.520 there, he talks about the unified command and power projection. Also, as an update, six members of the
00:14:45.000 United States military are now killed in action, 18 wounded, 18 casualties. We'll return after a short
00:14:50.620 commercial break to the old room.
00:14:51.820 A new year means new financial goals, like making sure your savings are secure and diversified.
00:15:05.360 Will this be the year you finally listen to me and talk to someone from Birch Gold Group? Honestly,
00:15:12.280 they're great people. I appreciate their educational approach and their understanding of macroeconomics.
00:15:17.440 There are forces pushing the dollar lower and gold higher, which is why they believe every American
00:15:23.660 should own physical gold. So until February, if you are a first-time gold buyer, Birch Gold is

00:16:22.120 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:27.380 Okay, welcome back. Brian Glenn's going to join me right now. Brian, thank you for coming,
00:16:31.860 for stepping in here. I want to break down this game film. We did Pete Hexas this morning,
00:16:36.740 and I want to do, I want to break down for the audience, General Raisin Cain, who is really the
00:16:43.360 chief, obviously the chief military advisor, but I will tell you, someone that President Trump puts
00:16:48.140 a lot of trust in, given his track record against ISIS, his track record in the 12-day war, and also
00:16:53.720 in the Venezuelan situation. Let's go and play the rest of his briefing, and I think he also throws in
00:16:58.840 a question. Let's go and hear it. So let me start with a few details. First, to be clear, as the
00:17:05.440 Secretary said, this is not a single overnight operation. The military objectives that CENTCOM
00:17:11.860 and the Joint Force have been tasked with will take some time to achieve, and in some cases will be
00:17:18.100 difficult and gritty work. We expect to take additional losses, and as always, we will work to
00:17:25.320 minimize U.S. losses, but as the Secretary said, this is major combat operations. So let me talk about
00:17:33.080 the preparation and the planning. On February 28th, the full strength of America's armed forces came
00:17:39.460 together in a unified purpose against a capable and determined adversary. The United States Army, Navy,
00:17:47.620 Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, and our reserve components integrated across
00:17:53.720 our combatant commands and began coordinated operations with the Israeli armed forces of an
00:18:00.360 unprecedented scale. As the Secretary laid out, our military objectives are clear. Our mission is to
00:18:07.020 protect and defend ourselves, and together with our regional partners, prevent Iran from the ability 0.99
00:18:13.920 to project power outside of its borders, and be ready for follow-on actions as appropriate. Across every
00:18:21.700 domain, land, air, sea, cyber, the U.S. Joint Force delivered synchronized and layered effects designed
00:18:28.560 to disrupt, degrade, deny, and destroy Iran's ability to conduct and sustain combat operations.
00:18:37.180 On the U.S. side, this marked the culmination of months, and in some cases years, of deliberate planning
00:18:45.000 and refinement against this particular target set. From precision strikes against key military
00:18:51.340 infrastructure, to persistent intelligence and targeting integration, to the close coordination
00:18:57.720 of the components across vast distances, this operation again demonstrated America's reach,
00:19:05.640 readiness, and professionalism, and that of our joint united force. It was historic not only in the
00:19:12.320 operational scope, but in the level of joint integration displayed across every element of
00:19:19.100 the joint force, and as I said earlier, this work is just beginning and will continue.
00:19:24.700 So now to talk a little bit about setting the force and setting the theater. On the order of the
00:19:30.860 Secretary of War over the last 30 days to reinforce deterrence and provide the President with credible
00:19:37.280 options should action be required, the joint force began to systematically reposition assets and
00:19:44.200 personnel across the region. These movements ensured that U.S. forces remained postured, protected,
00:19:52.520 and ready to respond decisively for any emerging threat. This deployment included thousands of service
00:19:59.940 members from all branches, hundreds of advanced fourth and fifth generation fighters, dozens of refueling
00:20:06.400 tankers, the Lincoln and Ford carrier strike group, and their embarked air wings, sustained flow of
00:20:13.320 munitions, fuel, supplies, all supported with command and control, intelligence, surveillance, and
00:20:18.920 reconnaissance network. And the flow of forces continues today. In fact, Admiral Cooper will receive
00:20:25.560 additional forces even today. This rapid buildup of forces demonstrated the joint forces ability to adapt and
00:20:34.540 project power at the time and place of our nation's choosing.
00:20:38.260 So Brian Glenn, there you saw, and that was a very big overview of what they've set in place. It was not
00:20:45.240 a Schwarzkopf type briefing with, you know, grainy gun camera video blowing up some stuff. You don't have big
00:20:54.740 maps of where the deployments are, don't have charts. They've been very limited in what they've give
00:21:00.180 reporters because of operation security. Do you think it's some time to get the American people more to
00:21:05.940 understand what's going on, the briefings? And they talk about Admiral Cooper. AOR means area of responsibility.
00:21:15.620 That's kind of the combatant commander. I think the naval forces are under Admiral Cooper. Maybe he does it
00:21:20.980 tomorrow or the next day. Do you think we're getting on the clock that we've got to cut to the chase and make sure
00:21:26.860 people understand what's going on? Yes, sir. Steve, I think we really do need to
00:21:32.380 update the American people, not only why we're doing this, but a little bit of the thought process
00:21:39.720 in building up to this. I do believe, and he said it, that this has been planned for months, if not
00:21:46.260 years. And I'll go back, and maybe this is going down a rabbit hole here, but I think when we changed it from
00:21:52.360 Secretary of Defense to Secretary of War, Department of Defense, Department of War, that was proactively
00:21:59.360 getting the American mindset in the right frame of mind, rather, that we are going to be proactive
00:22:07.380 in defending this country. We're going to go to war. So maybe there's nothing there. I don't know.
00:22:14.220 But I do think, however, this was planned for months. I think the negotiation obviously was still
00:22:20.800 being, you know, in the process. They still wanted to maybe find an alternative to taking kinetic
00:22:26.660 action. But I think today's press conference, and Secretary of War, Pete Hedseff, did an amazing job
00:22:34.220 as well. Look, he's very articulate. He's a good-looking guy. He's charismatic, comes from Fox News.
00:22:40.140 He is the point person you want in the Department of War to convey messages to the media. I think he's
00:22:47.620 perfect with that. And then I think General Raisin Kane is the perfect person to explain just what
00:22:53.600 he laid out, kind of strategically, what's going to happen next. This needs to happen more than often
00:23:00.220 right now, because, Steve, when you get on social media, and I know social media a lot of times is
00:23:05.680 not the real world, but right now it's not good as far as getting the public to support what we just
00:23:13.640 got involved. Yeah, I think you got to explain. You just got to put a little more detail on this and
00:23:18.320 explain to folks what's going on, what the target package was, all that. I'm sure that's going to
00:23:22.200 be in the next 20, 24 hours. Rubio took a crack at this day, a little bit about the effort here, the
00:23:27.740 focus, the objective. So let's go and put, we're going to break it down twice as we go to commercial
00:23:31.020 break. Let's go and do Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Brian Glenn will come back in.
00:23:35.620 Drones that they also have. They've been doing this for a very long time. And by the way, they've been doing
00:23:39.640 it under sanction. You see the attacks they're conducting right now? They're attacking airports.
00:23:44.500 They're attacking hotels. They're hitting not just military bases. They're attacking our embassies
00:23:49.240 directly. They're attacking facilities that have nothing to do with war or with military. And that's
00:23:53.860 a weakened Iran. That's in Iran despite years of sanction. Imagine a year from now or a year and a 0.75
00:23:59.320 half from now the capabilities they would have to inflict damage on us. It's an unacceptable risk,
00:24:04.120 especially in the hands of a regime that's run by radical clerics. The Ayatollah is a
00:24:09.460 radical was a radical cleric. That entire regime is led by radical clerics who don't make geopolitical
00:24:16.840 decisions. They make decisions on the basis of theology, their view of theology, which is
00:24:21.300 an apocalyptic one that has to be taken very seriously as well. So that was the purpose for
00:24:26.180 what this operation is all about. That's what it's focused on. As the president said earlier today,
00:24:30.660 it is on or ahead of schedule. I will defer to the Department of War to discuss the progress being
00:24:35.700 made at a tactical level, but it was the right decision and an important decision for the safety
00:24:39.860 and security of the world. Does Congress have to weigh in? Does Congress have to weigh in? Is the
00:24:51.800 president a current war and does Congress have to weigh in? And was there an imminent threat? Did you tell lawmakers that there was an imminent threat?
00:24:58.300 There absolutely was an imminent threat. And the imminent threat was that we knew that if Iran was attacked, 0.56
00:25:02.700 and we believe they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us.
00:25:06.440 And we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded. Because the Department of War
00:25:12.520 assessed that if we did that, if we waited for them to hit us first after they were attacked, and by someone
00:25:17.240 else, Israel attacked them, they hit us first, and we waited for them to hit us, we would suffer more 0.71
00:25:22.120 casualties and more deaths. We went proactively in a defensive way to prevent them from inflicting
00:25:27.080 higher damage. Had we not done so, there would have been hearings on Capitol Hill about how we knew that this
00:25:32.280 was going to happen, and we didn't act preemptively to prevent more casualties and more loss of life.
00:25:36.360 Mr. President, why would you say the U.S. was forced to strike because of an inventing Israeli action? 0.88
00:25:44.200 No, first of all, let me, two things I would say. Number one is, no matter what, ultimately,
00:25:47.400 this operation needed to happen. That's the question of why now. But this operation needed to happen,
00:25:52.120 because Iran in about a year or a year and a half would cross the line of immunity, meaning they would have
00:25:56.520 so many short-range missiles, so many drones, that no one could do anything about it, because they could
00:26:00.920 hold the whole world hostage. Look at the damage they're doing now, and this is a weakened Iran. 1.00
00:26:05.880 Imagine a year from now. So that had to happen. Obviously, we were aware of Israeli intentions 0.99
00:26:10.440 and understood what that would mean for us, and we had to be prepared to act as a result of it,
00:26:14.200 but this had to happen no matter what.
00:26:15.720 Mr. Secretary, President Trump said overnight that his top choices to now run Iran were killed in the strikes.
00:26:25.000 Does the United States have a firm plan for how they intend to handle this tower vacuum in Iran
00:26:30.440 to ensure that an IRC hardliner does not take back?
00:26:32.680 So two things, and two things can be true. Number one is, our mission and our focus
00:26:36.600 is the destruction of their ballistic missile capabilities and their ability to manufacture them,
00:26:40.840 as well as the threat posed by their navy to global shipping. That's our objective.
00:26:45.000 That said, we would not mind, we would not be heartbroken, and we hope that the Iranian people
00:26:50.040 can overthrow this government and establish a new future for that country. We would love for that to be
00:26:54.120 possible. But the objective of this mission is the destruction of their ballistic missile
00:26:58.120 capabilities and of their naval capabilities.
00:27:00.040 Mr. Secretary, so are you saying, based on that, are you saying that there is no response?
00:27:08.360 Okay, I'm going to come back to that. Now I'm kind of confused, Ms. Brian Glenn. Now it's the
00:27:15.000 destruction of the ballistic missile and their naval capabilities. And I think he said Israel is going to
00:27:20.680 be first mover. It's fine, but I think there has to be a sense of consistency here in kind of lining
00:27:28.440 everything up because they've got many enemies on Capitol Hill that are coming for them with the
00:27:33.320 knives out. That's these Democrats. Of course, we have huge primaries tomorrow in Texas and North
00:27:39.480 Carolina. Brian Glenn, give me 30 seconds before we go to break.
00:27:42.520 Well, I think Marco Rubio laid it out that if we didn't proactively do it now, I heard someone say,
00:27:50.440 can you imagine five, six, seven years from now when we, God forbid, get a really liberal,
00:27:57.880 left-leaning president and get a congressional and Senate, and then if Iran was to all of a sudden
00:28:06.680 think they've got the military needs to do it, they go make an attack and we're sitting on our heels.
00:28:11.000 The world is getting more unstable and chaotic every day. It seems like everyone, everywhere you
00:28:26.360 look, there's another crisis, another controversy, another conflict, or just outright catastrophe.
00:28:33.080 You can't control what happens out there, but you can control how you prepare for it.

00:30:30.420 markets where they are, Philip's going to join us tomorrow. Natalie's going to join us tomorrow.
00:30:33.600 She's written a brilliant piece on her sub stack about open borders and Iranian terrorists. David
00:30:39.240 Rodriguez is going to be on War Room, Texas. Like I told you, he really broke that story yesterday,
00:30:43.540 but we decided to tamp it down because we didn't have all the verification we needed,
00:30:47.820 but David Rodriguez was on about the situation in Austin, Texas. I want to go back to the beginning
00:30:53.780 and play this. Maybe we'll do the whole thing tomorrow, but this is so important. I got Brian
00:30:58.960 Glenn. Let's go ahead and play it from the top. Drones that they also have. They've been doing this
00:31:05.300 for a very long time. And by the way, they've been doing it under sanction. You see the attacks
00:31:08.980 they're conducting right now? They're attacking airports. They're attacking hotels. They're
00:31:13.720 hitting not just military bases. They're attacking our embassies directly. They're attacking facilities
00:31:18.400 that have nothing to do with war or with military. And that's a weakened Iran. That's in Iran despite
00:31:23.500 years of sanction. Imagine a year from now or a year and a half from now the capabilities they would
00:31:28.160 have to inflict damage on us. It's an unacceptable risk, especially in the hands of a regime that's
00:31:33.600 run by radical clerics. The Ayatollah is a radical, was a radical cleric. That entire regime is led
00:31:41.560 by radical clerics who don't make geopolitical decisions. They make decisions on the basis of
00:31:46.600 theology, their view of theology, which is an apocalyptic one. That has to be taken very
00:31:50.920 seriously as well. So that was the purpose for what this operation is all about. That's what it's
00:31:55.720 focused on. As the president said earlier today, it is on or ahead of schedule. I will defer to the
00:32:00.520 Department of War to discuss the progress being made at a tactical level, but it was the right
00:32:05.080 decision and an important decision for the safety and security of the world.
00:32:13.520 Does Congress have to weigh in? Does Congress have to weigh in? Is the president
00:32:19.440 declaring war and does Congress have to weigh in? And was there an imminent threat? Did you tell lawmakers
00:32:24.700 that there was an imminent threat? There absolutely was an imminent threat. And the imminent threat was
00:32:28.120 that we knew that if Iran was attacked, and we believe they would be attacked, that they would 0.98
00:32:32.540 immediately come after us. And we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded,
00:32:38.220 because the Department of War assessed that if we did that, if we waited for them to hit us first
00:32:42.660 after they were attacked, and by someone else, Israel attacked them, they hit us.
00:32:48.020 If Iran was attacked, then we would be attacked. Does that mean if Israel was going to attack, but that
00:32:54.120 they're supposed to be allies? They're just going to attack and not coordinate with us? And
00:32:58.400 that makes no sense at all. That just doesn't make any sense. I don't understand that.
00:33:04.080 This is why they're the greatest ally? I don't understand that. If we knew that Iran was going 0.99
00:33:09.900 to be attacked, and they would attack us, is there no coordination in this? I think that has to be
00:33:15.420 explained. I think that has to be explained. Brian Glenn, I think that one has to be explained.
00:33:21.220 I don't understand that. That's the first we've heard of that. I don't think that'd just be up
00:33:25.700 at the sticks, just tossing out there. I think that has to be explained, sir.
00:33:32.220 Yeah, I agree. Who's talking to who? Don't you think if we should all be on the same page with
00:33:37.520 this? And I do like the proactive approach to this, though, and he makes a good point.
00:33:42.920 They're attacking all of these sites now as a weakened Iran, and imagine what they would do if they 0.98
00:33:49.320 actually had more ballistic missiles, they had more firepower there, they would maybe take it a
00:33:55.880 little bit further. But I do think that needs to be further explained. And like I said in the previous
00:34:02.600 segment, the American people want to hear this stuff. They want to be explained why we are taking
00:34:10.020 these steps and why we have lost six service members and maybe 18 or 19 injured, seriously injured
00:34:16.680 right now. They need to do more of this explanation on what's happening right now, because this kind
00:34:23.060 of started, you know, middle of the night there, two social posts, next time you wake up, and we've
00:34:28.500 got bombs flying. And I think the American people just want to know.
00:34:32.220 Look, this is a very serious military operation. And we understand, particularly in the opening
00:34:37.340 salvos, people's lives are at risk. We now understand, I think the six service members that died were in
00:34:44.160 Kuwait trying to stand up some sort of either radar installation or something, but they were hit.
00:34:50.500 And they didn't, there was no warning. There was no, you know, they didn't hear anything. Of course,
00:34:54.280 the New York Post is breaking that, I think, as an exclusive. We'll drill down on that more.
00:34:57.700 But when you put American prestige, you put American honor, and particularly you put the
00:35:05.300 most precious resource we have, which are our servicemen and women, in harm's way, it's got
00:35:11.700 to be really thought through. I find that that has to be explained. I just don't understand that we
00:35:17.660 knew Israel was going to hit and that the Iranians would hit us. Well, hang over a second. They were 1.00
00:35:23.500 going to hit without us saying, okay, we're all ready to go, that they were just going to take
00:35:28.460 it on their own. If you're an ally, I don't think ally, particularly if you're, and I say they're
00:35:32.600 a protectorate because we provide the air defense principally. We're providing the offense here
00:35:38.580 principally. We provided the intelligence. My understanding is we provided the CIA,
00:35:43.680 provide the targeting package for the Ayatollah. I think things just have to get sorted here.
00:35:48.560 And I think that has to be explained in detail to the American people. So the American people
00:35:52.920 fully understand. It's like in the Iraq war, you know, the, the, um, the, the Iraq war,
00:36:00.620 the first couple of days, everybody's cheerleading at Fox news is glazing everybody and got the pom
00:36:04.580 poms out. Well, this, these are serious and these take a while. And of course the American public
00:36:11.180 opinion, which is very important here to support these operations has to be fully informed.
00:36:15.940 Even people of your, not your political party have to be informed of exactly what went on,
00:36:21.340 went on because you need the support of the American people to make sure these operations
00:36:26.120 are successful. And let me add again, especially when you have service members in harm's way and
00:36:32.660 we're in a shooting war now. And so I think this has to be explained to Secretary Ruby to throw
00:36:38.440 that out there. No, I don't understand that. I just don't. That has to be, I got a couple of
00:36:43.920 three questions I think about that one. And I think a lot of people ought to have questions about
00:36:47.920 that. Uh, particularly with everything on the internet, you know, who controls who,
00:36:51.960 if you want to put that to bed, you have to come out and make a case for exactly what was going on
00:36:56.820 here, exactly what the thinking was and what's going on. And then Rubio went into, I thought it
00:37:02.100 was great. He said, Hey, we're going to take out their naval assets. And president Trump said today,
00:37:05.420 I believe we've taken 11 of their combatants, their vessels, and they're now at the bottom,
00:37:12.140 either the North Arabian Sea or the Persian Gulf. And I believe we've taken out their air defense,
00:37:17.060 their air assets and to get air superiority in their naval assets. I think we've done a
00:37:22.180 overwhelming job, but that's more of the operational and tactical. I think we need a full understanding of
00:37:28.480 the strategic. Brian Glenn, uh, the white house, here's what's interesting. Rubio really came out
00:37:35.080 for the, he had Pete in a very limited situation, eh? General Kane in a very limited situation.
00:37:40.340 Marco really went up and took all questions. Are they going to start, you think, being more aggressive
00:37:45.320 on the, uh, what I call the information warfare size here? Because they've been very silent
00:37:50.100 over the weekend. Nobody did the Sunday shows yesterday. It was pretty obvious. Scott Besson was not
00:37:55.320 out on squawk box or talking about oil or the capital markets. Although I don't think the capital
00:38:01.140 markets were in horrible turmoil as some people predicted. Uh, do you think the white house is
00:38:06.440 going to get more proactive on the messaging side? I, I, they should. And I look, and I think that they
00:38:13.780 will, because right now all you have is some of those ultra MAGA social media accounts that you see on
00:38:20.600 X and get her just going hard in the paint, you know, it's America. It's like, yeah. And all of a
00:38:27.260 sudden the reality comes in that this is a war and we have had casualties. And this is a little bit more,
00:38:34.280 uh, involved than what we thought it would be. I heard some pundits, the commentary classes like
00:38:39.840 to call them before this started saying, well, it's going to be very precise, very precision.
00:38:44.260 We're going to go in there. We're going to carve it out. It's going to be just like, uh,
00:38:47.400 operation midnight hammer. I said, you gotta be kidding me. Look at all the assets we're putting
00:38:51.160 in that area. This, this is going to take a while. So as long as they communicate this Steve
00:38:57.080 to the American people on why they're there, what's going on and, and, and be, be truthful
00:39:03.360 with them. I think the American people could take it because no one wants the, um, Iranian regime to 0.98
00:39:09.060 exist. We do, I think want evil people out of power, but at what?
00:39:14.280 Bad guys, but I do go back to Trump saying, Hey, we're going to decap, we're going to go
00:39:18.340 and decapitate and let the Iranian people as I've been saying, Hey, no offense. They brought the 1.00
00:39:22.660 Islamic Republic on, right? And I realized this was their parents and their grandparents, most of
00:39:26.980 them, but they wanted the Islamic Republic. They kicked the shot. They kicked us out. Uh,
00:39:32.440 they brought it on them and now they don't want it. That's fine. Then step up. Like president
00:39:35.960 Trump's been saying, step up and take it out. Brian Glenn, social media. We'll get you back on
00:39:40.100 tomorrow because there's a lot going. I agree with you. I do think they're doing systematic
00:39:43.760 takedown of air and Naval assets, uh, and, and revolutionary guard. I think they've done a
00:39:50.560 lot deeper in the command structure and they've let on, but we'll see all that. I'm sure the
00:39:53.860 next couple of days, where do people get you, Brian Glenn? Uh, Steve, you can follow me at
00:39:58.240 Brian Glenn TV on Twitter at Brian Glenn, uh, on Instagram at Brian on true social and getter.
00:40:04.200 I pray for this country, Steve, you know, this is war and I am, I am no expert by anybody,
00:40:09.960 by any means, but I do know the realities of, of losing, uh, men and women in the battlefield
00:40:15.320 and what that means in this country. And I want us to make sure that when this is all said and done,
00:40:19.540 that we put, we close a chapter on this, this whole narrative that we've got to stop
00:40:25.440 the Iranian regime from getting a new, a nuclear weapon. Let's put this to rest, Steve. I'm done with 0.97
00:40:30.940 this crap. Let's put it to rest. Brian Glenn, thank you so much, sir. Thank you. Pray for our
00:40:36.240 young men and women that are in harm's way right now. Um, Jan Jekyllic, my favorite,
00:40:44.960 Epoch Times, your great show, American Thought Leaders. First, I'm going to get to the Chinese 1.00
00:40:49.560 Communist Party in a second, because they look like they're taking some heavy hits here, both in
00:40:54.780 Venezuela and here, and you're an expert, but just your overall assessment with the information
00:40:59.480 we're getting. And where do you think we stand on this in the first couple of days of this, uh, of
00:41:03.920 this war? Well, I, Steve, I can't help, but think about this from the broader geopolitical context.
00:41:10.560 You know, I saw this like amazing commentary yesterday, which is basically mirrored my exact
00:41:15.760 thinking the way, how do we communicate with the communist Chinese leaders? How do we communicate
00:41:21.200 them? Well, the, the commentator said a horse's head in the bed is really the only way to do that.
00:41:26.640 So as you pointed out, we've got, uh, Venezuela, this is what can happen, right? We've got Iran now, 0.99
00:41:33.000 this is what can happen. And you can understand that Xi Jinping is getting a message. Don't screw
00:41:38.200 around with us. I think this is, you know, I don't know if this is the key reason for these,
00:41:42.560 for these attacks. I don't think it's the only reason, but it's a very important, let's call it
00:41:47.440 side benefit to what has happened, because the only thing they really understand is sheer exertion of
00:41:53.000 force. Or as this commentator pointed out, it's kind of like a mafia message, right? This is what's
00:41:58.220 going to happen if you don't play with us. And then of course, we've got the tariffs on the other
00:42:02.260 side, restricting the one pillar of their economy that they have left, which is really their export.
00:42:08.200 So for me, all roads lead to China. If they've taken, if they've taken it on, on, they've had two 0.97
00:42:13.340 allies, they got a couple of three, but they got two big ones, Venezuela and the Mullahs, both of them,
00:42:19.400 one's in American jail or American federal prison awaiting trial. The other is graveyard dead. How
00:42:26.660 does Xi keep face there? He's purging the military every other week. How does he keep face among the
00:42:32.620 power brokers in the Chinese Communist Party? So we got about a minute. He's not, he's not keeping
00:42:38.200 face at all, I think. And he's actually, I think, very, very worried. And he's getting, a lot of
00:42:42.420 questions are being asked and he can't even really do his power play on Taiwan at the moment because he
00:42:47.500 doesn't have the military capability to do so. And, you know, this is actually something that I,
00:42:52.540 this whole concept of how the CCP actually operates at an, in a very extreme way. I document
00:42:58.180 this very well. And thank you for carrying Killed to Order and having me on about this. This is my
00:43:03.900 new book, but it's not just about this forced or shocking forced organ harvesting industry.
00:43:08.100 It's how it's the perfect lens to understand how the CCP actually operates. We get into all this stuff
00:43:13.680 in the book explaining that. Well, we're going to take a short break. We're going to get into it.
00:43:17.440 If you know, you can see Maduro, the Mullahs, the Ayatollah, and the heads of the Chinese Communist 0.86
00:43:24.700 Party, bad, bad, bad actors. But as bad as the Mullahs and Maduro is, what, what Yan exposes with the
00:43:33.400 Chinese Communist Party will rock your world. We're going to take a short commercial break. 0.98
00:43:37.640 We're going to return in the war room in just a moment.
00:43:44.640 Listen, folks, I want to tell you about this particular pharmacy because they're actually
00:43:54.500 doing things right now for the American people. They're the real deal, not another corporate chain.
00:44:01.720 If you're tired of fighting a broken system or begging for prescriptions, you need all family
00:44:06.880 pharmacy. When someone in your house gets sick at 2 a.m. and the pharmacies close, you need all family
00:44:13.260 pharmacy. Order online and get it fast. If your doctor refuses to prescribe ivermectin after
00:44:19.640 everything we've seen, you need all family pharmacy. This is a real American family business with
00:44:25.780 licensed doctors, fast shipping, and the meds families rely on. It's simple. Place the order online.
00:44:34.420 The doctor reviews it and your meds arrive in a few days. War room listeners keep saying how smooth
00:44:41.360 the process is and how much they love this, how grateful they are to finally have a pharmacy that
00:44:47.360 gets them. These folks at All Family Pharmacy are breaking the control of these big pharmaceutical

00:45:15.960 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:45:19.300 I do believe that President Trump's overall strategic thrust is to make sure the Chinese Communist 1.00
00:45:26.380 Party, our greatest existential threat understands that, hey, we can do with your allies what we
00:45:31.560 want to do with them and you got nothing to say about it. That's why I'm taking the under on whether
00:45:38.140 there's going to be a state visit in April. Now, they could still surprise me. I just don't see it
00:45:42.800 right now. Jan, talk to the audience about what your book and your 20 years of research that you're
00:45:49.100 finally able to bring forward shows what monsters these people are.
00:45:54.400 Well, the book talks about Kill to Order, which is this forced organ harvesting industry kind of
00:46:00.220 unique in the world and evil yet to be seen on this planet, described by one of the researchers,
00:46:05.180 David Matus. And I go into exactly how it works and how it's different than your basically your typical
00:46:10.520 run-of-the-mill, also horrible organ trafficking. But more importantly, actually, now to the topic of
00:46:17.220 today is that it actually is a lens into understanding how Communist China actually
00:46:22.820 works at a deeper level, right? The stuff in this book will shock you to the core. It shocked me as
00:46:28.560 I was doing the research and actually over the years, you know, what I've learned is kind of like
00:46:33.160 is actually really, really mind-blowing because for normal people, like we kind of always assume that
00:46:38.420 we're dealing with a normal government or the kind of normal people on the other side that you can
00:46:42.500 negotiate. This is why I was talking about this horse's head communication as being
00:46:46.600 kind of one of the ways to do it. But another thing, you know, the another thing that I talk
00:46:50.900 about in the book is utilitarianism being a function of the Chinese Communist Party and how
00:46:54.840 it deals with everybody. In fact, it's been using Iran the same way. It's been, aside from being an 0.64
00:46:59.920 ally, right, it's been this massive source of distraction and instability in the Middle East. So the
00:47:05.380 American gaze, so to speak, keeps being focused in another direction and not where the biggest
00:47:10.640 adversary, subtitle of my book, The True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary, that's Communist
00:47:15.840 China. And so, you know, right now, if this is successful, which I certainly hope it is,
00:47:22.640 this operation and so forth, America can actually focus on dealing with its massive threat across the 0.91
00:47:29.300 Pacific. Okay, I want everybody to know, here's what we're doing. This is through the good offices
00:47:34.920 of Tony Lyons and War Room, many people. We're going to have a very special event with you.
00:47:41.100 What's the date? It's one of the last events, I believe, in the Trump-Kennedy Center before it
00:47:46.860 shuts down. I think it's shutting down this spring. So it's going to be the Trump-Kennedy Center.
00:47:50.920 What night and how do people get tickets? It's actually incredible. So the Trump-Kennedy
00:47:55.800 Center has decided to have an official event as part of its Millennium Stage Series, thanks to,
00:48:01.360 you know, Tony Lyons. What I thought initially was a crazy idea, but they're actually running this.
00:48:07.460 You can actually reach the RSVP for it at killedtoorderevent.com. It's March 16th,
00:48:16.440 and it's a conversation between Rob Schneider, who's someone who's gotten behind this issue
00:48:20.560 in a massive way. God bless you, Rob. Thank you so much for that. And, you know, we're going to talk
00:48:26.300 about some really hard questions and a little bit of dark humor. We're still figuring that out because
00:48:30.320 this is such a dark, extreme issue, but it's going to be an incredible evening to remember.
00:48:34.980 And we're also, there's also a VIP event afterwards for people that may want to participate in that
00:48:40.940 as well. But basically, we can get more than a thousand people in the door, and the first thousand
00:48:45.760 people that come in will actually get a book. There's a really generous donor who decided to kind of,
00:48:51.280 again, support this issue. There's so many people that are getting behind this. It's, I'm really touched,
00:48:56.200 and thank you for your support, Steve.
00:48:57.720 No. Where do people go? One more time. Where do they go get the book? Where do they go? For
00:49:02.020 anybody in the greater Washington, D.C. area, it's really going to be a very special night. So
00:49:06.540 where do folks go? Well, the book, if you want to get it, killedtoorder.com. That's the direct to
00:49:12.280 the Amazon link. We're trying to create a movement. You know, get this book, share it with people,
00:49:17.120 raise the level of awareness. This explains how the Communist Party operates to people,
00:49:21.400 and not enough Americans know. But for the event, it's killedtoorderevent.com. And that's for that
00:49:27.440 March 16th event, 6 p.m., Trump-Kennedy Center. It's going to be incredible.
00:49:33.600 You and Rob Schneider is going to, and Rob has really gotten in the back of this. By the way,
00:49:36.640 very, very smart guy. Talked at Turning Point. You know, really smart guy.
00:49:40.780 Brilliant.
00:49:41.060 If you want to understand the monsters that control so much power on this earth, get this book.
00:49:48.080 Jan, social media, where do people get you? The Epoch Times and War Room are the tip of the spear
00:49:53.720 and taking down the Chinese Communist Party. Where do people go to get all your writings and over at
00:49:58.860 the Epoch Times? Well, go to theepochtimes.com. That's our main website. There's always good stuff

00:50:12.560 on X, at Jan Jekielek, on truth, the same way. Please, you know, follow me on my social media.

00:50:24.680 book. And we just had Gordon Chang on about Iran, China, digging into this geopolitical aspect
00:50:30.460 massively. That's on American Thought Leaders. That's on YouTube. Check it out. It's actually
00:50:34.420 going viral. He really knows what he's talking about.
00:50:36.680 No, Gordon's the best. Thank you, Jan. Fantastic book. Harrowing. That's why we're so strongly in
00:50:44.560 back of this. And I want to thank everybody who's associated with this Kennedy Center. If you're in
00:50:48.340 the greater Washington area, you do not want to miss a great night. And you get to see the Trump
00:50:51.800 Kennedy Center. One of the last times, I think, before it goes into refurbishment for a year or two.
00:50:57.500 Mike Lindell. Okay, we're going to bifurcate this. Mike, we had a lot to talk about,
00:51:00.680 uh, about the executive order. And, you know, we had, um, about, uh, we had Brian Kennedy on today,
00:51:06.900 his magnificent piece about, uh, what we have to do to make sure the elections are secure in 2026.
00:51:12.540 President Trump just put up on true social free Tina Peters. So it's never far from his mind.
