Bannon's War Room - Episode 5191： Attacks Continue ON Oil In The Strait Of Hormuz

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

00:00:07.520 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:12.760 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:17.020 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:18.960 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:20.380 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:00:22.120 but you're not going to stop it.

00:00:23.040 It's going to happen.

00:00:24.320 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:27.720 MAGA media.

00:00:28.620 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:34.500 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:38.260 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:44.540 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

00:00:52.680 I'm going to read you exactly what he posted.

00:00:55.760 He said, quote, any document signed by sleepy Joe Biden with the autopen,

00:01:00.880 which was approximately 92 percent of them, is hereby terminated and of no further force or effect.

00:01:08.560 He says the autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the United States,

00:01:15.380 the president of the United States.

00:01:17.240 He also says in that post, quote, I am hereby canceling all executive orders and anything else that was not directly signed by crooked Joe Biden,

00:01:28.960 because the people who operated the autopen did so illegally.

00:01:33.800 He goes on to say in that post, Joe Biden was not involved in the autopen process.

00:01:39.520 And if he says he was, he'll be brought up on charges of perjury.

00:01:45.240 He says, thank you for your attention to this matter.

00:01:47.880 Of course, this was just posted moments ago to Truth Social.

00:01:51.980 Again, the president, as we know, following him is at the golf course.

00:01:55.960 So, of course, we're hoping to confirm and get any more information about this.

00:02:00.360 Alicia.

00:02:00.600 Okay, Thursday, 5 March in the year of our Lord, 2026.

00:02:05.160 I want to thank Natalie.

00:02:07.200 Amazing hour right there.

00:02:08.560 Of course, Kurt Mills and our own Brian Kennedy.

00:02:12.700 Fantastic hour.

00:02:14.660 We've got a lot to cover in this hour.

00:02:16.320 Dr. Thera, we're going to get a battle assessment,

00:02:19.300 particularly about the Straits of Hormuz where gasoline, oil prices are going to go, all of that.

00:02:25.540 Jeffrey Hunter's joining us.

00:02:28.000 We're going to talk about polling, about some real polling that President Trump ought to be seeing

00:02:33.880 for the Maha movement and much, much more in this hour.

00:02:38.080 We're going to start with Julie Kelly.

00:02:39.120 So, Julie, I'm totally confused now, but you're here and you're going to come back

00:02:44.480 because we have other topics to talk about with you this afternoon.

00:02:48.780 But I grabbed you on phone because NBC News reported last night breaking DOJ Shell's investigation

00:02:56.560 to Biden's autopilot use after it failed to find an applicable criminal statute, sources say.

00:03:03.020 Then, Julie Kelly, you enlighten me.

00:03:05.160 And if Denver can get it up with a long Twitter post that explains something that we're seeing here

00:03:12.000 in Dallas, in Texas, jury nullifications, and actually the training sessions for people to go on juries

00:03:20.580 for jury nullification on anything to do with ICE, anything to do with mass deportations,

00:03:25.880 I think you're going to see that expand to things with Islam, HB1 visas.

00:03:31.920 It's rampant here.

00:03:33.640 Nobody wants to talk about it.

00:03:34.980 What are you saying about D.C.?

00:03:37.620 Julie Kelly joins us now by phone.

00:03:39.520 Walk us through your, because a lot of people thought, well, maybe Pam Bondi, Judge Jeanine,

00:03:44.180 maybe they're not as aggressive as they need to be on this.

00:03:47.860 You've got a very, very different take, ma'am.

00:03:51.680 Right.

00:03:52.140 And it's also happening here in Chicago.

00:03:53.900 I mean, we see prosecutors here who have brought or tried to bring cases against demonstrators,

00:04:01.340 rioters, protesters, whatever word you want to use.

00:04:04.980 Against individuals interfering in ICE operations, assaulting police officers, federal officers,

00:04:11.040 and they can't get either grand jury indictments or once they get it before a judge or a trial

00:04:16.860 jury in these blue cities, and not even blue cities.

00:04:20.380 I mean, it's pretty pervasive.

00:04:22.900 They can't get a conviction.

00:04:24.480 But this is especially insidious in Washington, D.C., where you have a jury pool made up.

00:04:31.940 And this also includes grand jury pool.

00:04:35.520 So a grand jury is larger than a trial jury.

00:04:39.020 It's anywhere, I think, between 16 to 24 individuals.

00:04:41.760 They serve for an extended amount of time.

00:04:45.520 So I believe it could be 12 to 18 months.

00:04:48.120 And they show up a day or two a week to consider charges that the government, in this case, the

00:04:54.280 Trump DOJ, and Janine Pirro want to bring. 0.95

00:04:58.460 And they consider those cases.

00:05:01.000 And then they can sign off on indictments.

00:05:04.140 Now, my covering the J6 cases, your case, Peter Navarro, the Trump case in Washington, D.C.,

00:05:12.120 these grand juries acted as nothing more than a rubber stamp.

00:05:16.620 So did the judges.

00:05:18.420 I mean, think about this, Steve.

00:05:20.100 The DOJ, the Biden DOJ, had a 100% conviction rate in J6 trials.

00:05:26.940 Not a single J6-er walked out of a courtroom after a trial, completely exonerated, acquitted 1.00

00:05:33.760 on all counts.

00:05:34.700 Yet now, Janine Pirro and the Trump DOJ is struggling to get a basic indictment, criminal 0.83

00:05:43.840 indictment, against ICE protesters, against political, former political officials, and

00:05:51.360 now what appears to be stalled by an Autopenn investigation.

00:05:56.720 So this is a real crisis that the DOJ is dealing with.

00:06:00.940 And it's spread throughout the country.

00:06:04.480 And now they're teaching, they're having seminars on jury nullification for individual

00:06:08.300 jurors.

00:06:08.820 This is going to, I'd say this, Austin, Dallas, Chicago, Minneapolis, New York City, Washington,

00:06:15.080 D.C.

00:06:16.180 You can't get, if they roll you up there, you're done.

00:06:20.880 And law enforcement can't, is not going to be able to basically enforce the law, particularly

00:06:24.940 immigration law.

00:06:25.900 So, Julie, if this is the fact, what do you recommend we do about it?

00:06:32.500 We have to do something now.

00:06:33.780 What do you recommend?

00:06:34.480 Just, we got to go and get changes of venue?

00:06:36.940 The judges won't allow that, will they?

00:06:39.140 They won't.

00:06:40.040 And unfortunately, and I don't even know how you could get a change of venue for a grand

00:06:44.080 jury.

00:06:45.800 So, but now, Janine Pirro did tweet this morning that the investigation was ongoing.

00:06:51.560 I'm not really sure, you know, if that's a safe face measure, if it's actually true,

00:06:56.920 if they are considering their options, but they are not going to get criminal indictments.

00:07:01.760 And in the rare instance they do, you are not going to have a D.C.

00:07:05.580 jury convict anyone brought before them by the Trump Department of Justice.

00:07:11.060 You know, it may be that they still got civil, I mean, I think maybe civilly and unwind these

00:07:15.920 executive orders and undo the pardons.

00:07:18.660 We'll figure all that out.

00:07:19.600 But you've nailed something we need to talk about, and we need to get an action plan to

00:07:23.440 work around it.

00:07:24.620 There's not a fair justice system in this country, not even close.

00:07:27.740 And it's really going to, even with the Supreme Court ruling yesterday, Julie, on immigration,

00:07:32.720 you can just tell it's going to be very tough in these big metropolitan areas.

00:07:37.600 Julie, you got to bounce. 0.99

00:07:39.000 We're going to get you back tonight.

00:07:40.040 You got a lot of stuff to catch up on.

00:07:41.460 Where do they go for your Substack and everything you're putting up on Twitter?

00:07:47.120 Substack is declassified with Julie Kelly.

00:07:49.240 And then Twitter, ask Julie underscore Kelly, too.

00:07:53.260 Julie, thank you so much.

00:07:54.520 Appreciate you.

00:07:55.060 Dr. Thayer, and I think it just happened, I just was notified after I said that, that

00:08:03.880 I believe, if my producer's correct, I don't know if we have any footage, that a tanker

00:08:08.900 in the Straits of Hormuz was just hit by a couple of rockets or a couple of missiles.

00:08:14.680 We're going to pull some footage.

00:08:16.020 We're going to do that.

00:08:16.520 This happened 60 seconds ago.

00:08:18.800 At least we found out about it.

00:08:19.820 But your battle assessment right now, let's leave the politics and the grand strategy

00:08:24.560 aside.

00:08:25.600 Today at 4.30 also, programming notes, CENTCOM is going to give, I think it's Admiral Cooper

00:08:32.480 is going to give a, and he, and I tell people, if you want to see the military operation in

00:08:38.560 its detail, Admiral Cooper and the CENTCOM team is delivering that.

00:08:42.820 4.30 today, Real America's Voice will cover it.

00:08:45.660 If it rolls into our five o'clock show, we'll obviously cover it in the Q&A.

00:08:50.380 Your battle, your battle assessment so far, particularly Straits or Hormuz, I think Brent

00:08:54.720 is now at $84 a barrel.

00:08:58.040 West Texas, I think it's 76.

00:08:59.900 West Texas, crude is a good rule of thumb for America, and Brent is for the world.

00:09:07.880 I should note, and there was a chart the other day, I think a Kobayesi, one of these great

00:09:13.400 sites that covers all the Wall Street details, that since BB had gone to Mar-a-Lago, oil at

00:09:20.860 the time of the beginning of the strike was up 33%.

00:09:23.460 That shows you how efficient the world's oil markets are.

00:09:27.500 They are quite efficient markets about information.

00:09:31.300 Dr. Bradley Thayer.

00:09:33.740 Well, Steve, they are.

00:09:35.100 There's no doubt about it.

00:09:36.380 So in the conduct of the war, we really have a new front, and that's the Gulf, and the Strait

00:09:42.260 of Hormuz is a key point, obviously, or 21 miles, obviously, at its narrowest point.

00:09:50.640 You have about 4% of rural shipping by tonnage in the Gulf now.

00:09:57.100 So well over 3,000 vessels are either in the Gulf or seeking to transit it from the other

00:10:06.180 side.

00:10:06.960 The oil that's there has to get out, as well as the natural gas, to serve world energy

00:10:13.780 markets.

00:10:15.060 And Steve, as you well know, as the audience does too, President Trump is moving towards

00:10:20.080 tasking the Navy, the surface fleet, obviously, to escort those vessels through Straits of

00:10:27.340 Hormuz.

00:10:27.880 So that's going to be a significant obligation for the Navy, one that they're fully capable

00:10:32.700 of a meeting.

00:10:35.320 But it still is going to be very dangerous and complicated due to the threat of mines, the

00:10:41.160 threat of drones, the threat of cruise missiles, the threat of air attack, and other means that

00:10:46.880 the Iranians might pose to shut down or to attract shipping in the Gulf to drive up the 0.96

00:10:53.500 price, right?

00:10:54.260 They want to hurt the natural gas market, and they also want to hurt, clearly, the oil market

00:11:00.500 in a way of inflicting pain on us, right?

00:11:04.740 That's one of the ways that they're retaliating against us, as well as the Gulf shakedoms and 1.00

00:11:11.040 Saudi Arabia.

00:11:13.060 In other fronts, very notably, Steve, the Kurdish front, right?

00:11:18.260 The idea that the Kurds are going to be- 0.73

00:11:20.120 Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.

00:11:21.760 Before I get to the Kurds, I want to go back to this, because they had to make a strategic 0.97

00:11:26.840 calculation.

00:11:28.380 They had to determine during Ramadan to actually, to draw everybody into this fight and to really

00:11:34.500 go after the oil and the gas.

00:11:36.820 They had to make a strategic calculation of going after Muslim countries and going after 1.00

00:11:42.980 as hard as they possibly could with what they had of drones and missiles at the time to do

00:11:48.260 both UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, and I think even a little bit of Kuwait and Bahrain, Bahrain

00:11:55.600 particularly, but Bahrain's always been kind of the odd lot there. 1.00

00:11:58.840 Talk to me about that.

00:11:59.640 Give me a minute, because this is not an insignificant strategic move.

00:12:02.620 The audience understand that.

00:12:03.860 Instead of doing, and remember, Saudi and these guys have hated them.

00:12:08.300 They hate each other, the Arabs versus the Persians, but they have had a kind of a rapprochement 0.91

00:12:12.900 over at least the last couple of years.

00:12:15.100 They made a strategic calculation to actually engage in kinetic warfare, the Arab states 0.92

00:12:21.580 during Ramadan, and particularly focus on going after terminals, going after, I mean, 0.95

00:12:27.440 going after the oil assets at Qatar's gas fields, which they're a joint partner in,

00:12:31.660 and the Straits of Hormuz is how they basically get the cash money from the CCP.

00:12:36.500 So give me a couple of minutes in that before we go to break.

00:12:38.400 We'll come back on the Kurds. 1.00

00:12:40.500 Sure.

00:12:41.000 Well, the first point is it's not unheard of to be fighting during Ramadan.

00:12:46.340 If you remember the 73 war, the Yom Kippur War was also fought during Ramadan, and when

00:12:52.540 the Syrians and the Egyptians attacked Israel.

00:12:57.220 So the attack during Ramadan does actually-

00:13:01.540 But hang on, but hang on, but hang on, hang on.

00:13:05.000 Back then, Ramadan wasn't like Ramadan.

00:13:08.800 Those were, that was during the secular phase of Arab nationalism.

00:13:15.140 That's not today, you're talking apples and oranges.

00:13:18.380 Back then, you had Nasser, you had the, what, the United Arab Republic, which was both Syria

00:13:23.940 and Egypt.

00:13:25.140 These guys were Muslims, but they're not Muslims like today. 1.00

00:13:27.800 I mean, Muslims today, Ramadan's like everything.

00:13:30.120 Back then, these guys were, and they were very upfront, were Arab nationalists first, were

00:13:35.640 Muslims second, right? 0.99

00:13:36.900 So this is a very different, this is a very much more sensitive time where they specifically

00:13:41.960 during Ramadan attacked their other Muslim nations, particularly Sunni nations with large 1.00

00:13:48.180 Shiite working class populations, correct? 1.00

00:13:52.300 Yeah.

00:13:52.720 Well, it shows the interest of the state really trumps the interest of the religion in this 0.71

00:13:59.020 instance.

00:13:59.380 So, so when we think about Hormuz, I think we need to also recognize that this is going

00:14:08.380 to be a very long process because as the war ends, I think we need to go back to praying

00:14:14.660 mantis.

00:14:15.280 We need to go back to the escort that the U.S. Navy did in the mid and late 1980s to ensure

00:14:22.000 that, again, oil and gas flew out, came out of the Gulf.

00:14:28.700 Dr. Thayer, just, just, just hang on for one second.

00:14:32.120 We'll go through the break.

00:14:33.000 We got more on Hormuz, the Kurds, obviously something going on with the Kurds.

00:14:38.260 I know the Turks, our NATO allies got to be thrilled with that one because the Kurds, they

00:14:43.840 feel they, they got a piece of Iran, they got a piece of Iraq, they got a piece of Turkey.

00:14:49.160 These are hard bitten fighters and they've been dealt and double dealt throughout their history.

00:14:54.300 Short commercial break.

00:14:55.660 You're in the war room on a Thursday.

00:14:58.700 A new year means new financial goals, like making sure your savings are secure and diversified.

00:15:05.380 Will this be the year you finally listen to me and talk to someone from Birch Gold Group?

00:15:11.720 Honestly, they're great people.

00:15:13.020 I appreciate their educational approach and their understanding of macroeconomics.

00:15:18.020 There are forces pushing the dollar lower and gold higher, which is why they believe every

00:15:23.200 American should own physical gold.

00:15:25.960 So until February, if you are a first time gold buyer, Birch Gold is offering a rebate of up to $10,000

00:15:34.080 on qualifying purchases.

00:15:36.500 To claim eligibility and start the process, just text Bannon at 989898.

00:15:44.220 Birch Gold can help you roll an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold.

00:15:50.180 And you're still eligible for a rebate of up to $10,000.

00:15:55.080 Make right now your first time to buy gold and take advantage of a rebate of up to $10,000

00:16:01.100 when you buy by February 27th.

00:16:05.080 Text my name, Bannon, 989898, and claim your eligibility today.

00:16:09.660 Remember, text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898.

00:16:14.180 You've got to the end of February, 27 February, to qualify, up to a $10,000 rebate.

00:16:21.980 Those ships moving through the Strait of Hormuz right now.

00:16:25.460 Instead, there are ships being attacked.

00:16:28.300 This morning here off the coast of Oman, there was yet another vessel that was targeted

00:16:34.960 by Iranian missiles.

00:16:37.040 The Oman Navy got a call to respond to assist this vessel that had been targeted.

00:16:45.020 That takes the number of ships targeted by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz to past four now.

00:16:52.520 And they are continuing with their strikes to anyone who comes near this de facto border

00:16:59.600 that they have set up not to pass, not to attempt to try and cross the Strait of Hormuz.

00:17:04.660 What many ships have been trying to do over the last few days is actually turn off their signals

00:17:09.280 and then try and get through.

00:17:11.040 We also learned today, Anna, that two shipping giants decided to halt bookings completely

00:17:18.480 and actually began diverting vessels away from the Strait of Hormuz,

00:17:23.740 trying to find different routes around.

00:17:26.260 But this is such a vital route here.

00:17:28.940 You know, 20% of the world's oil passes through here.

00:17:32.680 And so it is crucial.

00:17:33.720 President Trump is still trying to find a way to actually escort some of these vessels through.

00:17:40.020 He's saying U.S. Navy could try and do that, but that will be a huge task.

00:17:45.660 And if Iran are willing to target any flag ship in the vicinity,

00:17:50.780 they could also potentially attack those U.S. Navy vessels if they try and escort any ships through the Strait.

00:17:56.980 Back in, I think it was 1980, I was a young naval officer on a combatant.

00:18:05.360 That was in and out of the Straits of Hormuz.

00:18:08.520 It's not as easy as people think.

00:18:11.700 It's a very difficult sea detail, very difficult to have your fire control solutions,

00:18:18.280 your radars, just a very hostile environment.

00:18:20.180 And that's without hostile fire.

00:18:23.000 So, Dr. Thayer, here's what we're going to do.

00:18:25.340 We're going to bifurcate your hit.

00:18:26.800 I'm going to get you in a little later.

00:18:28.560 I got Dr. Jeffrey Tucker is going to come up.

00:18:31.020 We're going to talk about some polling.

00:18:32.040 I think this audience needs to talk about.

00:18:34.040 Then we're going to talk about the AG race in this runoff in Texas.

00:18:38.360 But this happened kind of while we're speaking in another, I think, suicide attack going on.

00:18:44.720 This is quite different than we've seen in other of these situations,

00:18:49.460 particularly even when we had the Gulf War, et cetera, where you kind of lock down that piece.

00:18:54.160 Why is the oil and gas assets in the Persian Gulf, they're in play now.

00:19:01.680 Why is this throw a whole different item into the strategic calculation here?

00:19:09.540 Well, it's Iranian retaliation, right? 0.93

00:19:11.780 Their point is to cut this off, increase the costs of exiting gas or oil from the Persian Gulf

00:19:21.320 to inflict pain on Americans at the end of the day by having increased costs,

00:19:27.740 as well as our allies and other partners.

00:19:29.520 So Reuters is reporting this was a suicide attack in a rocky port against a tanker.

00:19:36.800 And that underscores, Steve, the fact that it's not just the mines, it's not just aircraft,

00:19:42.680 it's not just drones and cruise missiles.

00:19:46.960 There's also another threat coming from suicide attacks like the coal.

00:19:51.600 If you remember the attack against the USS Cole in 2000, where a suicide attack did horrific damage obviously to her.

00:20:02.560 That was by boat.

00:20:05.460 Dr. Thayer, where can people get you right now?

00:20:08.440 You're going to join us in a little while.

00:20:10.040 You're going to hang out with Jordan.

00:20:10.940 We've got to talk about the Kurds.

00:20:11.980 I also want to get more information on this because you're seeing the oil markets already react to these hits and to the insurance issues.

00:20:20.320 And I think the Navy, as you know, I think there's been some sort of talk about the Navy actually escorting vessels in and out.

00:20:27.340 So that's – I think if you think you've got a third of the fleet over there now, you're probably going to have more of the fleet over if we're going to do this.

00:20:33.180 Where do people go for your social media, sir?

00:20:35.720 I'll see Brad Thayer at X and Bradley Thayer and Getter in Truth.

00:20:40.220 See you in a bit.

00:20:41.660 Yep.

00:20:41.960 Hang out.

00:20:44.540 Dr. Jeffrey Tucker, I've been waiting for this piece to come because I think it's something we need to talk about.

00:20:51.380 People are all freaked out about the midterms.

00:20:53.320 We're going to have some details about the runoff races here in Texas today.

00:20:58.660 People are obviously very concerned about the war.

00:21:00.840 And we're going to have CENTCOM – we're going to have the CENTCOM briefing live at 4.30 here on Real America Voice.

00:21:07.100 I think it's Admiral Cooper's going to give it.

00:21:08.820 And we are going to do that in its entirety and then have analysis and observations immediately afterwards.

00:21:14.140 Maybe it goes 30 minutes to an hour.

00:21:15.780 We'll find out.

00:21:16.980 But our 5 o'clock show will be about the CENTCOM brief because I think you gained the best battle assessment.

00:21:23.320 The CENTCOM guys are in charge, obviously.

00:21:25.320 They're running this and they're doing great work and we're getting great information.

00:21:29.240 So – but Dr. Tucker, you're sitting there saying, hey, there's something else already in play here and people are not paying enough attention to it.

00:21:37.680 Your point is the medical freedom movement is on a march and Bobby Kennedy and the team at HHS and the Trump administration, they're doing one aspect of it and getting some great wins.

00:21:48.720 But this movement is deeper than that.

00:21:50.760 It's a true grassroots movement.

00:21:53.180 It's really a revolution in this country.

00:21:55.140 It's powerful and you have supermajorities that support it.

00:22:00.220 Can you take it from there, sir?

00:22:01.500 Talk to us about your polling and about this – the medical freedom movement.

00:22:05.580 The polling began as – from my point of view in reaction to a lot of fake polls I saw coming out in January and February that I looked at the questions and I thought these are biased polls.

00:22:17.000 What do people really think about issues of medical freedom and vaccine mandates and the right to access holistic treatments and issues of medical freedom in general?

00:22:27.840 So Leslie Manoukian at the Health Freedom Defense Fund and I got together and put together 30 questions that we thought were objective and unbiased just to find out what people really think.

00:22:39.020 Is it really true that nobody cares about this stuff?

00:22:41.420 Well, Zoghbi ran the poll for us and they were shocked at the results, supermajorities. 0.57

00:22:49.180 We're talking about like 80% and sometimes even 90% for these hardcore issues of medical freedom that people feel very passionate about, Republicans, independents, and even Democrats at a lower level, but not that much of a gap.

00:23:04.000 It's – the poll is overwhelming.

00:23:07.120 I'm still processing the results.

00:23:09.520 We have many, many charts.

00:23:11.960 I have three separate PDF embeds.

00:23:13.960 You can see all the questions and you can see how unbiased they are and all the results with complete charts we posted just yesterday.

00:23:22.560 Hang on a second.

00:23:22.920 Hang on a second.

00:23:23.640 I want to go back to the original polls because you sat there when you saw them and said this doesn't feel right.

00:23:28.380 It doesn't represent what I'm seeing out in reality in the world.

00:23:32.480 Let's go back to those original polls.

00:23:34.140 Why did you think just intuitively – because you guys work this every day.

00:23:38.560 That just can't be right.

00:23:39.780 Then you drilled down and you said, oh, I see what they're doing here.

00:23:42.000 What were the polls?

00:23:42.900 Yeah, and that's what you have to do, Steve.

00:23:44.960 Steve, you know this.

00:23:46.180 When you see these polls and the conclusions, you have to look at the questions and see what they feel like.

00:23:50.640 They seem intuitively correct.

00:23:51.880 So the polls from December and January were run by a company called Fabrizio, okay?

00:23:59.120 And they were asking people things like agree or disagree, vaccine saves lives.

00:24:04.140 Well, how are you going to disagree with that?

00:24:06.480 Vaccines have been around for 230 years.

00:24:09.120 Is it conceivable that vaccines have saved lives?

00:24:12.860 Yes.

00:24:13.340 And so they reported this and told the White House, oh, you need to gag Bobby.

00:24:19.600 You need to drop issues of vaccine skepticism. 0.99

00:24:22.880 These are political losers.

00:24:24.160 That's a quote from the pollster, this Fabrizio pollster. 0.98

00:24:31.100 And I looked at these questions.

00:24:32.440 Others were biased.

00:24:33.880 Tony is – with McLaughlin has been kind of the lead pollster for the president.

00:24:39.900 Now, this all goes back in time.

00:24:41.220 Let's make sure we get – this is where all of a sudden there was all this stuff that, hey, to make sure that we win the midterms, we don't want Bobby doing anything else, right?

00:24:50.560 And a lot of people are saying, hey, we want Bobby doing everything.

00:24:53.400 The president just had that magnificent Roosevelt room where he actually took the lead in front of Bobby on the vaccines and getting to the early vaccines.

00:25:03.240 The president telling these heart-rendering stories had people.

00:25:05.420 And I said, man, he's not just providing air cover.

00:25:07.960 He's kind of the lead tank now.

00:25:09.340 That totally kind of changed with some of this polling.

00:25:13.340 Are you saying the president's being fed, you believe, inaccurate or maybe an information that doesn't show the entire depth of this movement?

00:25:23.200 Steve, there is no question that what you just said is absolutely true.

00:25:27.680 I know all the players and who's talking to whom and who's misleading him.

00:25:31.680 And I'm telling you that this deception that's taking place is potentially very, very costly.

00:25:39.580 It could lose the midterms because the Maha coalition has broad and passionate public support as this poll reveals.

00:25:48.960 And anybody can take a look at it and see.

00:25:50.880 We're talking about 60%, 70%, 80%.

00:25:53.400 People don't think that you should have vaccine mandates, that schools should be able to deny education to kids who are unvaccinated.

00:26:03.740 They don't believe that the pharmaceutical industry should be indemnified against harms.

00:26:09.740 They think a lot of people are harmed by the shots.

00:26:11.800 This is a serious issue these voters turn out.

00:26:14.780 The poll we ran was of registered voters, as I say, broken down in thirds, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, showing broad and deeply held passionate beliefs.

00:26:26.880 These are people that turn out on Election Day.

00:26:29.300 So when they're telling Trump, oh, you have to forget about these issues. 1.00

00:26:33.700 These are political losers. 0.99

00:26:35.280 That is not true. 0.97

00:26:37.880 These are two terribly biased polls that were run in December and January.

00:26:42.240 They've been, you know, people running all over the White House going, oh, look, we need to get rid of Bobby and turn him into, you know, a salesman for good food and exercise and drop all issues of medical freedom.

00:26:56.520 This is completely wrong, as this very good poll shows.

00:27:00.940 And as I say, I invite anybody to look at it.

00:27:03.000 The White House is, if they believe these old polls, they are in the process of making potentially a catastrophic error, Steve, because, as you know, this war is not exactly popular with the public.

00:27:19.980 And, in fact, a lot of Republicans are confused and even demoralized by this.

00:27:23.820 But the issues represented by the sort of make America healthy again group are extremely important and will get people out.

00:27:34.000 And dropping them endangers the status of the party at the midterms.

00:27:40.400 So that's why this is so important.

00:27:42.960 Hang on one second.

00:27:44.120 We're really jammed for time.

00:27:45.080 I do want to hold you over for a second because things are so important to talk about.

00:27:49.120 You know, we say in war and you're seeing this in the you're seeing this in the Iranian major military operation.

00:27:54.620 The enemy gets a vote.

00:27:56.460 Well, the same with the Maha Movement. 0.87

00:27:59.960 Big Pharma gets a vote.

00:28:02.120 I think Big Pharma is trying to get a vote here.

00:28:05.160 But I couldn't agree with Dr. Hunter Moore that the coalition is so important and such a winner for us.

00:28:11.000 Short commercial break.

00:28:11.920 Dr. Bradley Tucker, Dr. Jeffrey Tucker on the other side.

00:28:19.120 If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this.

00:28:23.240 So listen up.

00:28:24.820 In today's artificial intelligence and cyber world, scammers are stealing home titles with more ease than ever.

00:28:32.720 And your equity, the equity in your home, your life savings is the target.

00:28:38.780 Now, here's how it works.

00:28:40.480 Criminals forge your signature on one document. 0.99

00:28:42.920 Use a fake notary stamp.

00:28:44.500 Pay a small fee with your county and boom, your home title has been transferred out of your name.

00:28:52.200 Then they take out loans using your equity or even selling your property.

00:28:57.200 You won't even know it's happened until you get a collection or foreclosure notice.

00:29:03.940 So let me ask you, when was the last time you checked your home title?

00:29:08.000 If you're like me, the answer is never.

00:29:12.460 And that's exactly what scammers are counting on.

00:29:15.420 That's why I trust home title lock.

00:29:17.940 Before I met them, I never checked on this.

00:29:20.420 Now I'm safe and now I'm secure.

00:29:59.000 Do it now.

00:30:00.800 War Room.

00:30:01.940 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:30:04.000 Bannon.

00:30:08.960 Remember during the height of those years of the pandemic and the vaccine mandates, Dr. Tucker and his team were on all the time.

00:30:16.300 Dr. Tucker, we're kind of waiting for you to do this poll.

00:30:19.560 Just give me a minute because we're jammed for time.

00:30:21.280 Take a minute or two and just tell me, walk me through, while your poll is deeper, questions are better, you ask more, and what the results were.

00:30:32.000 I personally wanted to know what the public thinks.

00:30:36.980 Does the public really favor these kind of vaccine managers?

00:30:39.460 They really want a whole industry indemnified against harms?

00:30:43.840 Are they really just nonchalant about the impositions that we all went through in this period, the injuries and everything else?

00:30:51.320 So I wanted to know.

00:30:52.820 So we contacted the pollster Zogby and said we want a real poll of registered voters, people who are concerned in care, that's cross-partisan, and we wanted in-depth, real people answering in-depth questions.

00:31:05.380 We put together 30 questions, we sussed it out over several days to make sure they were all balanced and fair and didn't have what I've seen in a lot of polls, which were tiny words to game the results, right, to tap into that social acceptability bias or give you scare terms that hint what the answer should be.

00:31:27.100 We didn't want any of that.

00:31:28.160 So we went through all the questions concerning vaccine mandates, access to holistic treatment and dignification of industry, vaccine mandates for children attending school.

00:31:41.520 We covered the works, and the results came in, and as I say, the pollster himself was shocked.

00:31:48.200 He said he rarely, if ever, sees supermajorities in anything.

00:31:52.840 And it took me a better part of a day even to process the results.

00:31:56.840 And as I say, they're all posted there.

00:31:59.060 They will blow your mind.

00:32:00.760 And the important thing about it is that it made me realize I'm not crazy, right? 0.53

00:32:05.080 I'm not some nutty radical.

00:32:06.980 What I think is what 80% of the public thinks.

00:32:10.300 It's just that the White House was not getting this message because of these distorted polls.

00:32:15.380 So that's why.

00:32:16.620 And I knew these results were going to go viral, and they have.

00:32:19.820 I mean, yeah, it's definitely going to rock the West Wing.

00:32:22.000 What it means is that Bobby needs to be unleashed, that all the people, whether it's Bhattacharya at CDC at NIH or Dr. Oz or Dr. Macri over at FDA, the whole Maha leadership needs to be unleashed. 0.58

00:32:38.000 And in the interest of the party, the Republicans have taken on these subjects, and it represents a massive political advantage to them.

00:32:49.160 Yes.

00:32:49.640 That they can play at times where the foreign policy issues are a little bit divisive.

00:32:55.160 There's no division on these issues.

00:32:57.660 So that's why I support this.

00:32:58.960 And this is what the coalition, this is that amazing coalition we put together that went in 2024.

00:33:03.580 You just can't abandon it and particularly do it when the math doesn't work out.

00:33:09.220 Look, hopefully we're going to make sure that everybody sees this.

00:33:12.180 Yeah, and there's one other thing, Steve.

00:33:14.200 I just want to mention before we go.

00:33:16.880 We put together a really interesting reckoning, a sort of petition over the COVID period.

00:33:23.440 It's called covidjustice.org.

00:33:25.220 And it went up a couple of days ago.

00:33:26.940 It's already got 25,000 signatures.

00:33:29.340 This is a suggested resolution the Senate can pass that says what happened was wrong.

00:33:35.080 We shouldn't have gotten rid of the Bill of Rights.

00:33:36.920 We shouldn't have violated people's bodily integrity during this period.

00:33:40.300 We shouldn't have closed the school, shouldn't have shut down the small businesses and so on.

00:33:44.300 We need some kind of statement, culture, as a people, as a society, that this is not the way a free people should be governed.

00:33:53.860 And this statement has already got 25,000 signatures.

00:33:57.900 And if people are looking for something to do to send a message broadly to the media, to the White House, they can sign this petition.

00:34:08.540 Where do they go, Dr. Tucker?

00:34:11.200 That is covidjustice.org.

00:34:15.840 It's very easy.

00:34:16.420 We will push it out.

00:34:17.460 We'll be a force multiplier.

00:34:18.520 I'm going to call you after the show and hopefully get you back here tomorrow, Saturday, in a deeper breakdown of this, Paul.

00:34:23.080 I want to go through it in detail, particularly the fact of no immunity for not just the big pharma, no immunity for Roundup is the way I would say it anyway.

00:34:31.440 That's right.

00:34:31.860 That's two-thirds.

00:34:33.060 Two-thirds.

00:34:33.920 Two-thirds.

00:34:34.640 It's a topic for a tough, different day.

00:34:36.940 Unbelievable.

00:34:37.540 Thank you, sir.

00:34:39.880 Brownstone Institute.

00:34:40.880 What a great group, doing great work.

00:34:44.940 Maze Middleton, Terry Schelling, who is one of our biggest contributors and somebody that's really been at the tip of the spear of this radical transgender ideology, speaks the world about you, particularly this fight down in Texas.

00:34:57.640 Now, you're in this runoff for attorney general, but where he really came to see you was in this fight.

00:35:02.620 Can you walk through how did you get involved in that?

00:35:04.540 And what does this mean for what you will do as attorney general for the state of Texas?

00:35:11.500 Right.

00:35:12.080 I mean, look, this is about defeating the left.

00:35:14.860 It's what everyone on this show wants to see happen.

00:35:16.980 That's what I've been fighting for since day one in office.

00:35:21.240 And, you know, these transgender surgeries on minors, this is evil, right? 1.00

00:35:25.620 They're permanently mutilating these children, giving them drugs that permanently sterilize them. 0.94

00:35:32.000 It's happening in California and New York.

00:35:33.720 And, you know, I've fought to end that in Texas.

00:35:35.900 I helped pass the law to abolish that and prohibit it.

00:35:40.740 But unfortunately, you know, the blue states are still doing it.

00:35:43.760 And, you know, here's a clear distinction between myself and Chip Roy, who's in the runoff.

00:35:48.800 He had an amendment to allow those evil practices to continue.

00:35:54.780 And what it did is it allowed private transgender surgeries to continue.

00:35:59.980 He was going to codify it, put it into law.

00:36:02.960 And look, I'm fighting to end all evil, not just taxpayer-funded evil.

00:36:07.400 And his amendment would have rewarded Gavin Newsom.

00:36:10.000 It would have rewarded the transgender lobbied and allowed these evil practices to continue. 1.00

00:36:16.340 And he had a contrived states' rights argument.

00:36:19.540 Well, I'm sorry.

00:36:20.620 There is no right to hurt a child.

00:36:23.400 How does this mean?

00:36:24.600 Walk us through, because you're following, and whether he makes it to the Senate or not,

00:36:29.660 and obviously we're a grassroots show and a MAGA hardcore, you know, grassroots leaders.

00:36:35.700 Ken Paxson is revered because of the fight he took right to the Biden regime from the very beginning.

00:36:42.540 And we just had this situation with the auto pen.

00:36:45.800 We had Julie Kelly on at the top of the hour. 1.00

00:36:48.160 People are concerned that the auto pen thing may be dropped.

00:36:50.440 Maybe it's because of grand jury problems, et cetera.

00:36:52.580 But the one thing the MAGA base, not everybody, but the MAGA base looking for is men and women

00:36:58.980 that will lean into it and really be fighters.

00:37:01.760 So walk through, make the case that, hey, I'm Mays Middleton.

00:37:06.320 And you may not know me too well, and this is the first time you may be hearing my voice,

00:37:09.760 but I'm a fighter.

00:37:10.540 Just walk through the issues you think are the most important,

00:37:13.700 and where are you going to bring the fight?

00:37:16.440 Look, there's a reason why.

00:37:18.740 I'm the only candidate in this race that's been protested at the Texas Capitol during this campaign.

00:37:26.380 They have these big, ugly green signs with my face on it, X's through my eyes,

00:37:31.120 and they call me the bathroom bigot.

00:37:33.440 Why?

00:37:33.980 Because I don't want men in my little girl's restroom or locker room or shower. 0.99

00:37:37.580 Look, they've threatened me.

00:37:39.820 They've threatened my family.

00:37:41.240 The two Democrats in this AG's race, Nathan Johnson and Joe Jaworski, can't stop talking about me.

00:37:47.640 They keep saying, we've got to stop this MAGA maze guy.

00:37:50.280 We can't let him get elected.

00:37:51.880 They're not talking about my opponent in this race,

00:37:54.700 and they're actually saying that the number one law that they will not enforce is the Women's Privacy Act,

00:38:00.620 the law that I wrote that stops perverted men from going into women's restrooms and locker rooms. 1.00

00:38:06.560 So, look, the reason why the left is protesting me, the reason why the left is threatening my life,

00:38:12.480 the reason why the two Democrats in this AG's race say I'm the person to stop,

00:38:18.200 because I'm already defeating the left.

00:38:19.740 The left knows who their true enemy is.

00:38:23.160 You know, it's funny to see politicians like Chip Roy and Liz Cheney suddenly surprised

00:38:29.320 when their record of fighting President Trump catches up to him.

00:38:33.000 Because, you know, Chip was saying, hey, I'm going to be at 49 percent.

00:38:35.880 He said he had a poll back in January that he was going to go win this without a runoff.

00:38:40.100 He just needed to get one more percent, that he was going to be out on top.

00:38:43.760 This race was going to be over on March 3rd.

00:38:45.860 And look, he ended up at 31 percent.

00:38:49.600 Why?

00:38:50.560 Because he fights the president.

00:38:52.120 He fights MAGA.

00:38:53.160 He said that we were MAGA effers and that we could kiss his, you know what, if we didn't like it.

00:38:58.600 And you know what that sounds a lot to me like?

00:39:00.340 The Basket of Deplorables with Hillary Clinton.

00:39:03.760 And you know what?

00:39:04.100 I'm proud to be in that basket of deplorables.

00:39:08.480 And this is someone that said Liz Cheney needed to be condemned, commended, not condemned, right?

00:39:14.360 He sided with Liz Cheney against President Trump, said that President Trump had committed impeachable conduct.

00:39:20.460 And not only that, fought to certify a stolen election in 2020 and certify Joe Biden as president.

00:39:28.920 I mean, the list goes on.

00:39:30.900 His judgment is terrible.

00:39:33.080 And he repeatedly fought against the Make America Great Again agenda.

00:39:37.560 We are going to have Chip on either tonight or tomorrow sometimes.

00:39:40.420 We're going to get Mays and Chip on for the duration of this.

00:39:43.500 We think it's very important.

00:39:44.580 Obviously, AG is such an important, not just for Texas, but the Texas AG, as you know, Mays, really sets the tempo, I think, for conservative and for MAGA AGs throughout the country.

00:39:56.320 I think it's one of the reasons Paxson's so revered.

00:40:01.220 Talk to me about your Democratic opponents.

00:40:05.540 Why are they so obsessed?

00:40:07.020 Why are the Democratic Party, in particular a place like Texas, where you can tell it just doesn't sit well with people, why are they obsessed with this issue of transgenderism?

00:40:17.400 I mean, like they've already said, hey, Middleton may have passed this law, but as AG, the first thing we're going to do is make sure we don't enforce it.

00:40:25.240 Why are they so obsessed by this radical ideology that you can kind of feel a lot of most Texans don't agree with?

00:40:33.620 Exactly.

00:40:34.060 Look, this is truly a spiritual battle that we are in.

00:40:39.960 We are the light, and they are the dark.

00:40:42.860 I mean, you saw what they did to Charlie Kirk, not just because of his conservative values, but because of his Christian faith.

00:40:50.600 And they have to be defeated.

00:40:53.060 And this is a show me, don't tell me business, Steve.

00:40:55.400 I mean, how tired are we of hearing politicians telling us what they're going to do, right?

00:40:59.960 I'm going to do this.

00:41:00.640 I'm going to do that.

00:41:01.300 Now, you've got to show us the results, and I can show you those results.

00:41:06.700 I took on the woke left's radical gender ideology and won.

00:41:10.880 I offer and pass the save women's sports law and the strongest women's privacy law in America.

00:41:16.020 I took on the atheists, defeated them and won, and got prayer and the Ten Commandments back into our public schools. 1.00

00:41:23.160 Even took on our foreign adversaries in Austin and stopped China from buying our land, designated cartels as terrorists, tripled border security, and have now taken on one of our most growing threats, one of our biggest threats against not just our country, against our state, and that is Sharia law and Islamification. 0.95

00:41:42.700 Look, I'll be blunt about this. Sharia law is organized crime, period. 1.00

00:41:47.840 This is not a religious liberties issue.

00:41:50.260 They see us as the infidel, and they don't think we deserve the right to exist, not just as Americans, but as Christians.

00:41:58.060 And they must be defeated.

00:42:00.360 Mays, this is the first time a lot of people are being introduced to you.

00:42:05.620 I want to make sure they are immersed in information and get to know you, because this one, we're going to have Chip on, but I told people, this one's going to be fought down to the end.

00:42:15.140 Where do people go?

00:42:16.220 What's your website?

00:42:17.120 What's your social media?

00:42:18.000 How do people, if they want to find out more about Mays Middleton, how do they do that?

00:42:20.860 So it's MaysMiddleton.com, M-A-Y-E-S-M-I-D-D-L-E-T-O-N. 1.00

00:42:26.600 Go to my Facebook page, same thing, Mays Middleton is a handle. 0.77

00:42:29.460 Twitter, Mays Middleton is a handle.

00:42:31.560 Instagram as well.

00:42:33.300 A lot of y'all have seen those MAGA, Mays ads as well.

00:42:38.100 You know, I'm a proven conservative fighter here.

00:42:41.100 And at the end of the day, I'm never retreating from Washington, D.C., because I'm never going to Washington, D.C.

00:42:47.620 I have always known that the fight is here in the great state of Texas.

00:42:51.680 And the reason why this fight is so important is we don't have another Texas to move to.

00:42:56.500 This is it right here.

00:42:57.840 This is the line in the sand.

00:43:00.200 The jewel in the crown of the union.

00:43:02.500 And I say that as a Virginian.

00:43:04.460 It's the jewel in the crown of this union.

00:43:06.440 And as Texas goes, so goes the nation.

00:43:09.580 And as the nation goes, so goes the world.

00:43:11.360 Mays Middleton, honored to have you on here.

00:43:12.780 Look forward to coming, getting your back and going through maybe a couple of these issues and more depth.

00:43:16.280 I appreciate you coming on today.

00:43:18.360 Hey, Steve, grateful for you.

00:43:19.960 Thank you for having me on.

00:43:21.360 Thank you, sir.

00:43:23.120 Chip Roy, I think Chip was going to try to get on last night.

00:43:25.500 Couldn't make it.

00:43:26.520 He set up and couldn't make it.

00:43:27.660 Try to get him on tonight or tomorrow.

00:43:29.060 So you're going to have a full plate of Chip Roy.

00:43:32.000 Mays Middleton, I think it's very important for the folks in Texas to be able to weigh and measure.

00:43:37.220 Because as you know, what Ken Paxson gave us as attorney general, we're going to need that.

00:43:42.560 Because this thing is, they're coming for Texas and they're coming for Texas hard.

00:43:46.720 The red-green alliance is here.

00:43:49.320 They got Texas in its gun sights.

00:43:51.020 Short break.

00:43:51.680 Back in a moment.

00:43:52.220 If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt?

00:44:06.400 Let's see if we can help you with that.

00:44:08.940 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?

00:44:15.920 I might have a solution.

00:44:17.220 Here's why now is the time to make a move.

00:44:21.240 This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books.

00:44:24.820 They clean up past due accounts.

00:44:27.720 They sell a write-off to debt to clear their books.

00:44:31.200 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.

00:44:39.200 That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.

00:44:45.540 And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage.

00:44:49.200 They monitor lender trends and understand the year-end pressure on creditors.

00:44:53.760 They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf.

00:44:58.200 Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy or taking on new loans.

00:45:05.460 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.

00:45:15.600 Get started now because your leverage may disappear at the end of the year.

00:45:22.080 Chat with a Done With Debt specialist at donewithdebt.com.

00:45:25.960 That's donewithdebt.com, donewithdebt.com.

00:45:30.120 Do it today.

00:45:31.140 Okay, listen to Dr. Jeffrey Tucker from Brownstone.

00:45:39.980 I want everybody, if Mo and Elizabeth and Grace can push that article out with the polling and drill down to the polling at the PDFs associated with it about medical freedom, it's a winner, two-thirds.

00:45:51.960 It's a winner for the MAGA movement, MAGA and Make America Healthy Again.

00:45:56.080 And all he's saying is let's not put that on the back shelf.

00:45:58.360 It's vitally important.

00:45:59.540 But your medical freedom, how do you take it in your own hands?

00:46:02.660 One way is to break the grip of the McKessons of the world, the big distribution companies and the pharmacies.

00:46:55.520 Also, because of the geopolitical risks that's going on, birch gold, end of the dollar empire, learn about it.

00:47:01.400 The eighth installment's coming out.

00:47:03.020 We're tweaking it a little bit by some of the things that are happening in this war to make sure that's fully communicated about the dollar and what's going to happen, particularly seeing a flight to quality to the dollar.

00:47:13.760 It's been a safe haven.

00:47:14.680 Now, Biden tried to destroy it.

00:47:16.300 The elites in our country tried to destroy it.

00:47:18.780 But we talk about the dollar empire.

00:47:21.220 In fact, we talk about the end of the dollar empire because the elites of our country have trashed it.

00:47:25.980 End of the dollar empire, birch gold.

00:47:27.860 Go check it out today.

00:47:29.260 Dr. Thayer, we've got a couple of minutes.

00:47:31.380 CENTCOM, okay, we did, we followed the briefing on Real America's Voice of the Hemispheric Defense briefing earlier this morning.

00:47:39.620 This afternoon, CENTCOM is going to give a briefing.

00:47:41.740 Everybody should watch here on Real America's Voice live at 430.

00:47:44.680 We're going to have, hopefully, Dr. Thayer, Brandon Weikert, and others give observations.

00:47:50.800 This will be the real kind of combat of what's going on in the theater with the combatant commander.

00:47:56.440 Dr. Thayer, we've got a couple of minutes, though.

00:47:58.000 I just want to leave it because there has been a lot of activity of taking ships out in the Persian Gulf and Straits of Hormuz.

00:48:05.160 Give me a couple of minutes on that.

00:48:06.680 How important, how important strategically is this as an element of this war?

00:48:11.440 Sure.

00:48:12.020 Well, first point is this is Iranian retaliation.

00:48:14.580 This is a way that the Iranians can inflict pain on the United States, on the American people, our allies, the Gulf shakedoms, the Saudis, and others. 1.00

00:48:24.040 So, it's entirely understandable about why Iran is trying to do this. 0.90

00:48:29.760 They want to drive the price of oil and gas up.

00:48:32.780 And they are doing, Brent's, about $85 and going north.

00:48:39.180 So, that's going to be significant.

00:48:42.280 That's one of the ways they can inflict economic pain on us. 0.98

00:48:47.700 Secondly, the threat.

00:48:50.300 You don't need to sink every tanker.

00:48:52.220 Just the threat of losses, the threat of damage is going to drive insurance up, which is why President Trump has, in essence, assigned the mission to the Navy, going back in a deja vu sense to the 1980s.

00:49:05.180 Operation Ernest Will, for example, from 87 to 88, where we escorted Kuwaiti tankers and others, actually, as it turned out, through the Gulf and out of the straits.

00:49:20.100 So, that's going to be a major mission for the United States Navy to incur.

00:49:25.420 Thirdly, you've got a lot of shipping bottled up, right?

00:49:28.600 Estimates are over 4%, essentially, by tonnage of global ship tonnage, are in the Gulf now.

00:49:38.900 So, that's a lot of vessels that are going to have to exit.

00:49:42.240 And those are going to be a lot of targets, clearly, for the Iranians. 1.00

00:49:48.080 This is shades of the Iraq, the tanker wars that we fought in the 80s.

00:49:53.240 And there are a lot of lessons to learn from that.

00:49:55.460 It's a very difficult environment for the Navy due to civilians, due to a lot of subsurface, surface, aerial targets, drones, mines, cruise missiles, aircraft.

00:50:08.540 Dr. Thayer, we've got to bounce, but I want to make sure people get your Twitter feed.

00:50:13.480 You're putting great stuff up all the time.

00:50:15.600 Where do people go for you?

00:50:17.380 Sure.

00:50:18.040 Brad Thayer, Steve and Bradley Thayer, get her in truth.

00:50:20.640 And maybe tonight with CENCOM, I want to get your voice in.

00:50:25.500 And over the next couple of days, I do want to get Mosher and you and Kennedy Moore, the China hawks, part of our anti-CCP posse here in the war room to talk about the strategic.

00:50:36.360 Because I'm saying I don't see how Xi has this state meeting with President Trump in April.

00:50:43.200 They're having their big political meetings, you know, right now, but I think between Venezuela and Iran, two of his allies, President Trump's in full takedown mode.

00:50:51.620 We'll talk about it later, but the audience definitely wants to get your thoughts.

00:50:55.000 Dr. Bradley Thayer, we'll see you tonight after CENCOM.

00:50:58.540 Yeah, Steve.

00:50:59.200 Okay, see you then.

00:51:00.520 See you then.

00:51:01.880 Keep the main thing.

00:51:02.700 The main thing is Captain Fennell has trained us tonight.

00:51:06.400 Make sure CENCOM 430 war room immediately afterwards may go into the show, but we'll make sure that we pick it up as soon as CENCOM briefing is over.

00:51:15.980 The combatant commander.

00:51:17.920 Charlie Kirk's show is going to follow us post.

00:51:19.620 So after that, we're back at 5 p.m.

00:51:21.400 Eastern time live.

00:51:22.540 Mike Lindell.

00:51:24.120 Well, I guess we'll leave running for the governor for later.

00:51:26.300 People want to know about the deal.

00:51:27.440 How's the factory?

00:51:28.200 How's the shift to the factory?
