Bannon's War Room - Episode 5193： UAE Freezes Iranian Assets; Economic War Grows In The Middle East

00:00:00.000 I'm once again calling on all members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the military and

00:00:05.000 the police to lay down their arms. They're only going to be killed. And now is the time to stand 0.81

00:00:10.900 up for the Iranian people and help take back your country. You're going to have a chance after all

00:00:16.660 these years to take back your country. Accept immunity. We'll give you immunity and we'll be 0.97

00:00:23.100 giving you really the right side of history because that's what it is. So you'll be

00:00:28.940 perfectly safe with total immunity or you'll face absolutely guaranteed death. And I don't

00:00:36.500 want to see that. They don't want to see it either. We also urge Iranian diplomats around 1.00

00:00:42.200 the world to request asylum and to help us shape a new and better Iran with great potential.

00:00:49.040 It's a country with great potential. There's much better future for Iran. It's now beginning. 1.00

00:00:54.640 It's going to be, I think, a great future. And the United States will ensure that whoever leads the

00:01:00.340 country next, Iran will not threaten America or its neighbors, Israel, anybody.

00:01:05.140 And we begin with breaking news in the war with Iran. The push to punish Iran is expanding from

00:01:12.460 the battlefront to the banking system. Morning Joe has learned that the United Arab Emirates moved

00:01:19.540 forward early this morning on its threat to freeze billions of dollars in Iranian assets.

00:01:25.420 That's according to a top official in the region speaking with Joe. The UAE has long been a financial

00:01:32.540 hub for Iran and its business interests, seeking to avoid Western sanctions. The Wall Street Journal

00:01:39.340 had reported that such a move by UAE officials would sever a key economic lifeline for Iran and cut off

00:01:47.260 its access to foreign capital and trade. The Iranians who have fired over 1,000 missiles into the UAE 0.98

00:01:55.780 have suffered a sharp economic downturn that was responsible for public demonstrations that led up

00:02:02.200 to the American and Israeli attacks on that country.

00:02:06.760 What comes next side? President Trump told Axios he needs to be involved in the selection of Iran's

00:02:13.240 next leader. Asked about reports that the son of the now deceased Ayatollah may be picked to lead

00:02:19.120 Iran, Trump called the Ayatollah's son a, quote, lightweight, who would force the U.S. back to war

00:02:25.280 in five years. The president then compared the situation to Venezuela, saying he needs to be involved

00:02:31.380 in picking the next leader, like he did with the now acting president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez.

00:02:38.820 President Trump has not ruled out boots on the ground in Iran. Are you afraid of a U.S. invasion in your country?

00:02:53.820 President Trump has not ruled out boots on the ground in Iran. Are you afraid of a U.S. invasion in your country?

00:02:59.820 No, we are waiting for them.

00:03:10.820 You are waiting for the U.S. military to invade the ground troops?

00:03:14.820 Yes, because we are confident that we can confront them, and that would be a big disaster for them.

00:03:20.820 And that would be a big disaster for them.

00:03:25.820 So you're saying that Iran is ready and willing to take on the U.S. military if there were to be ground troops?

00:03:31.820 Well, we were ready for this war even more than the previous war.

00:03:37.820 So you can see, you know, the quality of our missiles, how much they are upgraded after the last war, because we learned lots of lessons.

00:03:45.820 And we are prepared for any other eventuality, even, you know, a ground invasion.

00:03:51.820 So our soldiers are prepared for any scenario.

00:03:54.820 When I said that we are waiting for them, it didn't mean that we are waiting for continuation of the war. No.

00:04:01.820 But we have prepared ourselves to confront with any scenario, with any eventuality, any possibility, and we know that we can handle that.

00:04:09.820 When it comes to the war itself, it seems that Lebanon is quickly becoming a major front, with Israel targeting Hezbollah fighters there.

00:04:16.820 The U.S. and Israel continue striking Iran, and Iran is attacking several countries in the Gulf.

00:04:21.820 Some European nations are now deploying their planes and ships to the area, but they insist it is only to protect their people and their interests and not to join the attack on Iran.

00:04:32.820 Meanwhile, the House narrowly voted down a resolution today that could have reined in Trump's war powers in Iran.

00:04:39.820 The Senate did the same thing yesterday, which means that whatever happens in this war going forward, Republicans in Congress own it just as much as President Trump does.

00:04:50.820 Well, we just had an important series of votes on the House floor.

00:04:53.820 As you know, the war powers resolution failed.

00:04:55.820 That is the right result.

00:04:57.820 We are not at war.

00:04:58.820 We have no intention of being at war.

00:05:00.820 The President and the Department of Defense have made this very clear.

00:05:03.820 The Department of War has made it very clear.

00:05:05.820 This is a limited operation.

00:05:07.820 It is an operation that is limited in its scope and duration.

00:05:11.820 It has a very clear mission, and that mission is nearly accomplished by all estimates.

00:05:16.820 We are taking down Iran's ballistic missile capability, its stockpile and its ability to produce more. 0.99

00:05:24.820 They were doing that at a scale and a speed that was more than our regional allies could keep up with.

00:05:32.820 And it was a serious and imminent threat to the United States.

00:05:35.820 We don't need to relitigate all that today.

00:05:37.820 But also, we wanted to take down the capability of their Navy, and all of that has been very successful.

00:05:42.820 So this needs to continue.

00:05:43.820 It would have been a very dangerous gambit to take the Commander-in-Chief's ability away to complete this mission.

00:05:49.820 It would have been a very serious misstep by Congress, and I am grateful that that resolution failed.

00:05:56.820 Marco, you have been doing a fantastic job.

00:06:11.820 And you have been doing a fantastic job on a place called Cuba.

00:06:15.820 What's happening with Cuba is amazing, and we think that we want to finish this one first, but that will be just a question of time.

00:06:24.820 He's doing some job, and your next one is going to be, we want to do that special.

00:06:28.820 Cuba, he's waiting, but he says, let's get this one finished first.

00:06:32.820 We could do them all at the same time, but bad things happen.

00:06:35.820 If you watch countries over the years, you do them all too fast, bad things happen.

00:06:39.820 We have Dana Bash with us right now, and Dana, I understand you just got off the phone with President Trump.

00:06:46.820 What did you hear from him?

00:06:48.820 I did, John. Good morning.

00:06:51.820 He, just broadly speaking, he insists that on a scale of 10, with 10 being the best, he thinks that the war is, I would say, at 12, maybe 15.

00:07:03.820 He said that the US is doing very well militarily, quote, better than anybody could have dreamed.

00:07:11.820 He said that he rebuilt the military in his first term.

00:07:15.820 He's using it in his second.

00:07:17.820 And then he quickly turned to Cuba.

00:07:20.820 He said, without being asked, Cuba is going to fall pretty soon, by the way.

00:07:25.820 But Cuba is going to fall.

00:07:27.820 They want to make a deal so badly.

00:07:29.820 And I asked how so.

00:07:30.820 He said, they want to make a deal, so I'm going to put Marco over there, and we'll see how that works.

00:07:36.820 But we're really focused on this one now, meaning Iran.

00:07:39.820 We've got plenty of time on Cuba.

00:07:42.820 Image abroad, and specifically, how are our NATO allies computing all of this?

00:07:48.820 I think this is a gigantic blow against America's soft power.

00:07:54.820 I mean, the last time we took a hit like this was probably the Iraq War in 2003, when our positive rating all around the world was like in the teens.

00:08:04.820 I think, you know, we're risking this kind of clash of civilizations with the West against the Muslim world. 1.00

00:08:12.820 I think America's brand now, even though Trump says it's the hottest in history, by the way, whatever that means, the hottest in history, like a 1980s phrase.

00:08:21.820 I mean, it's exactly the opposite of that.

00:08:24.820 What's your biggest concern?

00:08:26.820 My biggest concern is that the ramifications of this will go all around the globe, that China and Russia will get involved.

00:08:35.820 Not only will China and Russia get involved, China and Russia will feel that they can have autonomy in their own areas.

00:08:40.820 China would think, what's stopping me from invading Taiwan now?

00:08:44.820 Putin will justify his invasion of Ukraine.

00:08:47.820 I think it's a much darker, harsher world if superpowers can do what they want and decapitate other regimes.

00:08:55.820 It's not something I look forward to seeing.

00:09:00.820 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:09:05.820 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.

00:09:10.820 You're not going to get a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:09:14.820 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:09:16.820 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:09:17.820 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:09:20.820 It's going to happen.

00:09:21.820 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:09:24.820 The big lie?

00:09:25.820 MAGA Media.

00:09:26.820 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:09:31.820 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:09:36.820 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:09:42.820 War Room.

00:09:43.820 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:09:45.820 Friday, 6 March, in the year of earlier, 2026.

00:09:54.820 Do you feel that we're in a fourth turning yet?

00:09:56.820 Is that, are you now believe in our theory of turnings?

00:10:02.820 So, there's so much going on, I want to cut through all the noise and focus on the signal.

00:10:09.820 One thing, can I play the, so I got Brandon Weikert up here for some military observations about this ongoing military operation.

00:10:17.820 President Trump did come out a few minutes ago, I'll get to that, and put out a true social where he said he was looking for unconditional surrender from the regime.

00:10:27.820 Rahim Kassam also is going to join me to get updates from Rahim in thinking this all through, plus this situation in Texas with the Senate race.

00:10:35.820 I want to go back, can we play the morning Mika clip, and I'll explain why this is so important.

00:10:41.820 And we begin with breaking news in the war with Iran.

00:10:45.820 The push to punish Iran is expanding from the battlefront to the banking system. 0.77

00:10:51.820 Morning Joe has learned that the United Arab Emirates moved forward early this morning on its threat to freeze billions of dollars in Iranian assets.

00:11:02.820 That's according to a top official in the region speaking with Joe.

00:11:06.820 The U.A.E. has long been a financial hub for Iran and its business interests, seeking to avoid Western sanctions.

00:11:15.820 The Wall Street Journal had reported that such a move by U.A.E. officials would sever a key economic lifeline for Iran and cut off its access to foreign capital and trade.

00:11:27.820 The Iranians, who have fired over 1,000 missiles into the UAE, have suffered a sharp economic downturn that was responsible for public demonstrations that led up to the American and Israeli attacks on that country.

00:11:43.820 OK, as we tell you, in war, particularly economic war, this is one of the dirty little secrets that, you know, a lot of people don't talk about because you would think that naturally UAE and Iran, in the Saudis particularly, those two have always been directly confrontational with the with the Iranians. 0.63

00:12:02.820 Whereas Qatar maybe was in business with them joint, you know, had had the gas fields part of our jointly are jointly run.

00:12:11.820 The reality is, and this is why there's such an important development, we'll get into some of the economics of hitting these refineries, hitting desalination plants.

00:12:20.820 The Dubai, the Dubai, the Dubai is the equivalent of was a Tartuga for the Caribbean pirates, Captain Morgan in that crowd and also a financial center back then where they could actually trade their stolen goods into into cash, into gold.

00:12:40.380 Same thing here, the financial center, the reason that the Persians can get around sanctions, the reason that they could still survive is they use the buy and use the banks, just like in the Ukraine Russian war, when the EU and the EU banks and Biden regime talked about seizing the financial assets of the of the Russian people.

00:13:07.900 And clearly that had a major impact, a massive impact on Russia's ability to to continue the war here.

00:13:14.580 The same thing, the economic war, the total war that's happening in around Iran is only metastasizing.

00:13:23.020 This is why the Chinese Communist Party, the Russians who have been the Chinese Communist Party has been just sitting there because one of the ways they do their trade is to buy. 0.87

00:13:30.880 But UAE actually announcing they're prepared to didn't say they're doing it, but prepared to seize the financial assets will change the game here.

00:13:38.860 And I really start to cut the Iranians off from any ability to actually do financial transactions. 1.00

00:13:45.020 So it's not through Switzerland.

00:13:46.980 They do this, but it's really through through Dubai.

00:13:49.520 And that is a major announcement also shows you the types of hits that the Iranians, although they're being very degradation of their systems, is pretty advanced. 1.00

00:13:59.180 They're still hitting oil refinery.

00:14:00.880 They hit a they hit they're targeting desalination plants.

00:14:04.780 Someone in the region told me today, folks in Dubai and UAE ought to start filling their bathtubs up with fresh water.

00:14:11.160 Anyway, we're getting to all that.

00:14:12.480 Brandon Weikert's with us, Raheem Kassam.

00:14:14.380 We are absolutely packed wall to wall this morning.

00:14:19.220 Birch Gold now more than ever.

00:14:21.480 By the way, we finished the eighth free installment.

00:14:23.660 That'll be out hopefully in the next week or two as we finish up the graphics.

00:14:28.320 We finished.

00:14:28.640 We added some detail about the about this current war and in its impact on the dollar and of the dollar empire.

00:14:56.480 Short break.

00:14:59.420 A new year means new financial goals, like making sure your savings are secure and diversified.

00:15:04.980 Will this be the year you finally listen to me and talk to someone from Birch Gold Group?

00:15:11.740 Honestly, they're great people.

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

00:15:18.040 There are forces pushing the dollar lower and gold higher, which is why they believe every American should own physical gold.

00:16:21.120 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:16:30.680 Friday, 6 March, Year of Alert, 2026.

00:16:32.960 Just want to make sure we get the timeline here correct.

00:16:36.060 I think we're in the seventh day of this.

00:16:38.480 I guess the sixth day of this world will be rolling into the seventh.

00:16:41.220 By the way, we are going to do a Sunday show.

00:16:43.240 Like I said, we're going to do seven days a week until, I don't know, there's some clarity on this entire situation.

00:16:49.040 If people, if our armed forces, our men and women are 24-7, seven days a week, the least we can do is inform the war and posse and make sure we get as much information to you guys as possible.

00:17:01.540 So, obviously, our Saturday show, tomorrow morning, 10 to noon, as we always do, Eastern Standard Time.

00:17:07.060 And on Sunday, thanks to the team at Real America's Voice and our War Room production team, we'll also do a Sunday show.

00:17:14.260 Brandon Weikert.

00:17:16.500 You know, is it Napoleonic or Clausewitz?

00:17:19.820 I guess Clausewitz took the lessons of Napoleon and codified it.

00:17:23.120 But the center of gravity of battle.

00:17:26.500 And one of the things we're trying to do here is to make sure that you have as good a comprehensive view of exactly what's going on.

00:17:34.440 And so then you can start to pull your own – this audience can start to pull their own assessments.

00:17:39.720 We're going to treat you like adults and give you as much information for as many different experts as possible who are on very different sides of this conflict.

00:17:48.780 And that's why you'll see Rabbi Walecki and you'll see, you know, a Brian Kennedy and a Frank Gaffney.

00:17:54.700 And you'll also see a Trita Parsi and Kurt Mills.

00:17:58.880 We try to get you all the information.

00:18:00.180 Eric Prince, who I think did a great job this week.

00:18:02.420 And I've been talking to Eric.

00:18:03.880 He's currently engaged in something, but we're talking to Eric nonstop.

00:18:08.340 I want to go into the reason.

00:18:09.200 This is why the financial part of this – because we were the first ones to identify the financial aspects and the economic aspects of the Ukraine-Russian war.

00:18:18.400 It's one of the reasons that – there's many operational reasons, but one of the reasons that the Russians really – you know, the 20 percent of Ukraine they've taken, it's been kind of stagnant for the last couple of years.

00:18:29.840 One of the reasons is that they've had some real financial and economic problems.

00:18:32.920 And that was – part of that was what was done by seizing their assets, which is this is also – for those of you that were smart enough to get into gold back when it was 2,000 bucks.

00:18:45.220 So we started talking about it or really partnered with Birch when it was 1,100.

00:18:49.920 But that part of the Russian-Ukraine war we said had never been done before.

00:18:55.300 We didn't do it with the Nazis. 0.54

00:18:56.540 We didn't do it with the Imperial Japanese.

00:18:59.280 We didn't do it to the Bolsheviks. 0.91

00:19:01.220 They actually seized their assets.

00:19:02.360 Here, the center of gravity of battle, part of it on the kinetic part obviously is Tehran. 0.52

00:19:10.400 The IDF had a massive 50 fighter bomber jets going last night.

00:19:15.880 They did.

00:19:16.520 We didn't.

00:19:17.360 They did.

00:19:17.960 It went in and had a massive strike on one of the remaining command centers.

00:19:21.540 But as I look at this, the most interesting and fascinating part to me, the real center of gravity I think of this war right now is the Persian Gulf and the Gulf and particularly the Emiratis, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, the Saudis, and Bahrain.

00:19:38.720 That, to me, is one of the most fascinating parts of this, how the wars metastasized there.

00:19:44.420 And if you look at it, as much as Israel has taken incoming or the amount of incoming that the degraded forces of the Iranians can hit, and the Israelis right now I think are as focused on Lebanon almost as they are on Tehran, the center of gravity of this battle and where it may be determined is in the Gulf states, both financially, economically, with commodities like water. 0.91

00:20:09.180 Brandon Weikert, you're one of our experts.

00:20:11.060 Your thoughts, sir?

00:20:12.540 Well, I think that's an excellent assessment on your part.

00:20:16.400 Bravo.

00:20:16.660 I do want to challenge the traditional interpretation of the Klaus-Witzian model only because I think we live now in the age of war that is decentralized.

00:20:27.560 So I actually think you will have multiple centers of gravity.

00:20:31.100 Back in Klaus-Witz's day, it was always, as you note, the primary center, and we're going to break that apart.

00:20:36.420 But ever since 9-11 and having lived through now two wars in the Middle East, we should all be aware we're not fighting centralized enemies really anymore.

00:20:46.300 We're fighting decentralized enemies.

00:20:48.380 Even in Ukraine, you have a decentralized network approach, which means you have sort of these multiple theaters and multiple centers of gravity all pulling our attention.

00:20:58.560 And so one of those centers of gravity is the conventional realm, which is the bombardment of Iran. 0.93

00:21:04.060 And as I noted yesterday, we have local air superiority that gives us pockets to maneuver and really conduct strikes.

00:21:12.000 But as you rightly note, the Iranian front is really focused on haranguing not only the Israelis in their backyard, but haranguing the Arabs in their homes. 0.66

00:21:24.940 And so far, that has been the really untold story.

00:21:28.940 We talk about the Strait of Hormuz closure and its effect on oil.

00:21:32.060 We talk about the refineries being struck.

00:21:34.100 But it's not just that.

00:21:35.620 It's the whole approach that Iran has for basically cutting down the Arab states basically in an FU. 0.93

00:21:43.260 If we're going to go down, we're going to take all of you down with us.

00:21:46.560 And so far, that strategy has been effective.

00:21:48.220 Hang on.

00:21:49.260 That's what I'm saying.

00:21:50.020 It's kind of gotcha damarang among the Muslims. 0.87

00:21:52.840 Don't get me wrong. 0.94

00:21:53.620 They're hitting Israel as much as they can hit it. 0.99

00:21:55.560 And I do believe that Captain Fennell and CENCOM is going through this punch list of degradation of their missile program, air program, all that.

00:22:07.300 But the center of gravity, at least the major center of gravity, is Muslim versus Muslim. 1.00

00:22:11.360 That's right.

00:22:11.860 And I realize it's during Ramadan, but people say, well, that's not that important.

00:22:15.660 It's in Ramadan.

00:22:17.280 And you really see the Muslim countries going after each other. 1.00

00:22:21.020 The Iranians, I think it was a 200-drone strike onto the oil refinery the other day.

00:22:26.780 They're hitting desalination plants.

00:22:29.340 You have Qatar and the financial –

00:22:30.940 Well, that's key.

00:22:31.060 That's key, by the way.

00:22:32.660 So those desalinization plants are basically the lifeblood for the citizens of those Arab countries. 0.83

00:22:41.080 I mean, remember, this is a giant desert we're talking about, yet they have these magnificent cities they've built in the middle of these harsh environments, and that's because of desalinization. 0.56

00:22:48.880 And once you pop open those tanks, they're not coming back online for a while.

00:22:55.320 So that means, as you noted, you better start filling up your bathtubs now because now we're talking about water shortages, and we're talking about this not only being an oil war, but now this being a water war.

00:23:06.380 And water wars, we're talking Mad Max here.

00:23:08.920 So this is exactly what the Iranians want, though. 1.00

00:23:11.640 And you note the intra- or the inter-Muslim fighting.

00:23:15.600 I would caution – I would only say this.

00:23:17.880 That's correct on the superficial level right now.

00:23:20.900 But we have to understand the regimes that run these Arab countries are pro-American, and they're nominally pro-Israel even now.

00:23:28.440 But the people of the region are not necessarily pro-American or pro-Israel.

00:23:35.080 And the longer this war goes on and the more those governments look incompetent and ineffective, the more likely there will be revolutions in these Arab states that will threaten and probably overthrow some of these friendly Arab regimes and replace them with Islamists. 0.79

00:23:51.240 And this gets us into the nightmare scenario that my friend Dr. Michael Scheuer has been talking about for 15 years, which is the fusion of Shiite and Sunni extremism into one. 0.79

00:24:03.120 And it's not unprecedented, Steve, because during the global war on terror, Iran was allowing their territory to be used as a transit node for al-Qaeda fighters coming out of Afghanistan, going into Iraq, and vice versa.

00:24:14.840 So it is not unprecedented.

00:24:16.680 So this is the real concern I have is the Iranian attacks on these Arab governments is meant to show that they are feckless and weak and they are gelded, and it will trigger a natural response from the Arab people who are going to want to overthrow those governments because they want water. 0.97

00:24:32.360 They want money back.

00:24:33.280 They want their lives back.

00:24:35.020 Let me – let's just pull back for a second.

00:24:37.280 As the American offense – and President Trump just put up a true social earlier this morning calling for unconditional surrender.

00:24:45.080 Last night, I think we had the clip play, he was adamant with the military.

00:24:50.760 You either surrender and you'll get to live and maybe you'll get immunity or you're going to die.

00:24:55.640 I mean his warnings on this couldn't be starker.

00:24:58.480 Obviously he's been calling for people to – he's looking for the Persian people as he was a month ago to take this in their own hands and rise up.

00:25:06.000 Are you saying that the Iranian strategy on the counterside is saying, okay, there's 3 million people in Qatar.

00:25:12.920 There's only 300,000 in the tribe that runs the country, right?

00:25:16.240 All the guys we see all the time are from the 300,000.

00:25:18.600 It's really only a couple thousand that run it.

00:25:21.580 The same UAE has got issues with tons of foreigners, I think a lot of Shiite, and they've been trying to topple the 22 million in Saudi Arabia. 1.00

00:25:31.420 Are you saying that you believe the Iranian strategy, hey, if Israel and America is going to do it to us, we're going to see how long you stand?

00:25:39.260 Is that your point?

00:25:40.500 That's my point.

00:25:41.360 I just want to also add the president's strategy is deeply flawed.

00:25:44.760 It's based on a very flawed understanding of the Iranian regime.

00:25:48.800 Remember your son, Sue, and I know you're not only a military guy, Steve, but you're also a business guy.

00:25:53.240 So I remember the 80s, I know they were teaching this to you guys, Sun Tzu, he said, always leave your enemy an avenue of escape because otherwise, and I'm paraphrasing now,

00:26:03.560 otherwise that enemy will become a fanatic and will fight you to the death.

00:26:07.260 Well, guess what?

00:26:08.020 We're fighting not only Persians, but we're fighting Islamists right now in Iran. 0.99

00:26:13.300 They want to die. 0.99

00:26:15.060 They are happy to die. 0.99

00:26:16.800 They want to fight us, and they want to show that the American god king can bleed. 0.92

00:26:21.100 And right now, they are showing that every day they last, and that's the key here.

00:26:26.880 This is why I keep saying we have to have an off-ramp.

00:26:29.500 Don't you think his point is he's trying to let those people know that, remember, 60% of the country I think is Persian.

00:26:37.180 You've got these other disparate elements of the other 40%. 1.00

00:26:40.000 There is a hardcore, maybe a plurality of Islamists, but he's trying to reach out.

00:26:46.640 When he talks about unconditional surrender, he talks about immunity.

00:26:48.900 He's trying to reach out.

00:26:50.680 He knows he's got lots of dead-enders there, right?

00:26:53.640 It's a whole religion.

00:26:54.680 Well, this is more than dead-enders.

00:26:55.760 I want to make that clear.

00:26:56.740 This is more than dead-enders we're dealing with.

00:26:58.640 But yes, please go ahead.

00:27:00.080 No, so my point is that there are people that I think he's trying to turn against the existing regime by giving them a call to action.

00:27:08.920 He doesn't expect – you don't expect the hardest core of the death cult that is the Islamic Republic because they are a death cult. 1.00

00:27:18.840 I mean, martyrdom is their – this is how they overthrew the Shah.

00:27:22.020 They weren't afraid of death.

00:27:23.420 And the Shah's guys had been trained by Western military. 0.83

00:27:26.440 They were – a lot of them were secular.

00:27:28.040 There were 500 Iranian midshipmen when I was at Officer Canada School.

00:27:34.020 The Iranian midshipmen were a greater number in Newport, Rhode Island than the American cadets, the American midshipmen that we had at Officer Canada School.

00:27:43.660 They outweighed us.

00:27:44.640 And a lot of those obviously were Muslim, but they were quite secular.

00:27:49.660 That's the guys that kind of left the country.

00:27:51.920 Anyway, Brandon, hang on.

00:27:52.900 We're going to go through this in depth.

00:27:54.000 Raheem Ghassam is going to be with us.

00:29:50.620 Okay, we're going to get back to the golf part of this.

00:29:59.900 Also, Bibi, it seems like this may be the last scene from the first Godfather film, but we'll get into that with Bernard Weicker in a moment.

00:30:08.480 Raheem Ghassam, your observation.

00:30:10.440 I've got you here because of the primary reason is because of what's going on in Texas, but I want to get to that in a moment.

00:30:16.700 Your thoughts and observations on where we stand.

00:30:20.520 Mike Johnson went out yesterday after the—and there's not going to be any War Powers Act movement, at least now, and said this is a major military operation focused on taking out the weapon systems, taking out the ballistic missile capability, and also the ability to manufacture them, et cetera, et cetera.

00:30:38.140 It looks like the objectives may have shifted overnight from the president, but your observations overall, sir?

00:30:45.520 Yeah, thanks, Steve.

00:30:47.880 Well, this will be a situation I think that will change day to day quite drastically.

00:30:53.760 I really—and I hate to say this—I really don't think that the administration in the United States had thought through just how much the Iranians had thought through this, 0.99

00:31:03.980 especially after previous attacks, especially after previously, you know, having their nuclear enrichment programs somewhat crippled.

00:31:12.260 They have been making a number of different contingency plans for months now, and I'm not sure, especially given the intelligence relationships around the world at the moment, that the U.S. administration went into this with completely clear eyes.

00:31:27.280 I have spoken to a lot of senior people across the government in recent days, and in fact, we were the first to break this weekend, way before anybody gave it in an interview, the idea that they had prepared for a four-week engagement here.

00:31:44.920 I do think it will be longer than that at this point, especially with what you're seeing as this war sort of expands into Lebanon and so on and so forth.

00:31:55.900 You're starting to see that mission creep, and you're also starting to see some movement by the Islamic regime in Tehran to lure America in to a ground operation.

00:32:10.640 I think that is the next part of this.

00:32:13.060 I don't think they're going to surrender.

00:32:15.400 I don't think they're going to allow President Trump to be handpicking the next supreme leader.

00:32:21.980 Firstly, that would be a spiritual sellout as far as they're concerned, but also, of course, a geopolitical one.

00:32:30.780 And I think also they prepared for this by massacring so many people who probably would be out on the streets of Iran across the country right now had they not been slaughtered a month or so ago. 0.85

00:32:43.620 And on the basis of, you know, they went out there because the United States said that if you go out there, we will have your backs.

00:32:52.900 And if the regime touches you, we will punish them.

00:32:56.920 Now, maybe that punishment is happening now.

00:32:58.920 And, of course, for the people who have been rightly decapitated in the Iranian regime by the U.S. government, that's true. 0.97

00:33:07.480 But for the ordinary Iranian people, they simply cannot feel confident right now that this is going to end in anything other than an even more heinous, even more dictatorial, even more authoritarian regime out of Tehran. 0.85

00:33:22.880 They are a cornered animal.

00:33:24.580 They are lashing out.

00:33:25.640 And the worst thing the president can be doing now is thinking, right, we've got to start thinking of putting boots on the ground here.

00:33:32.700 Because that is exactly what they want.

00:33:34.400 That is more caskets, that is more body bags, that is more Dover, that is more American flags, that's drooped on coffins, and that is precisely what the Iranian regime wants. 0.84

00:33:45.360 How long, hang around, I've got to get to this Paxson thing in a moment, but I look at our allies, and this goes back to Rubio's speech, and really a look at the war.

00:33:56.720 And it's one of the reasons we're in Texas and put this, you know, Proposition 10.

00:34:00.140 How long can the Labour government actually be an ally of the United States when you have a significant radical voice of Islamists actually in London and some in Parliament?

00:34:15.520 Is this war going to spread to Europe as part of the issue of these Islamists really taking on these governments that supposedly are allies? 0.70

00:34:24.280 Well, I mean, the Labour government in the United Kingdom has all manner of problems on this, right?

00:34:30.580 Number one, their own back benches are probably more in the camp of the Iranian mullahs than they are in the camp of the United States. 0.78

00:34:38.500 I mean, a lot of the parliamentary Labour Party has been seen to be up in arms about what's going on here.

00:34:44.580 And look, there are right reasons to do so, strategic geopolitical considerations that need to be taken place, but they're not operating from that basis.

00:34:53.080 They're operating from the fact that they do actually feel more solidarity with Islamist Muslims the world over than they feel with perhaps Donald Trump and his administration.

00:35:02.580 The Labour Party, the Labour government, they know, this government itself knows it's on its last legs, right?

00:35:11.120 You've got major elections coming up in May, local elections all around the country.

00:35:16.400 They are losing in special elections all over the place.

00:35:19.400 They lost to the Green Party last week in a special election.

00:35:23.040 They lost two more council seats to the Reform Party last night.

00:35:29.480 And everybody I speak to, whether it's over here or over there, I'm talking on the left.

00:35:34.440 I'm talking people who associate with the Labour Party, tells me that Keir Starmer doesn't have long to go as prime minister.

00:35:41.320 He knows he doesn't have long to go as prime minister.

00:35:43.700 So the last thing he wants to do, as in chronologically the last thing, you know, for him, is going into and sending troops into a war here.

00:35:52.760 He doesn't want to do it. He doesn't want that to be his legacy.

00:35:55.760 Not that it's going to be pretty good anyway when he leaves, but this, he feels, would be the ultimate blow to his backbenches, to his supporters,

00:36:03.380 which, as we know, especially up and down the country, are significantly Muslim voters.

00:36:10.220 Yeah, no, I was told yesterday by a number of people I talked to that this whole situation with the airfield is that the British government is actually proposing,

00:36:18.780 and said, hey, hang on, just for the optics, politics, with the radical Muslims we have in the Labour Party, these guys in commons,

00:36:26.940 that we're just going to block it for like five or six hours, and then we're going to give you full access.

00:36:32.040 But we have to come out and block it for the specific reason that they have a Muslim base that will literally try to topple the government right now if they did that. 1.00

00:36:41.140 They try to do these phony optics, and that shows you this is why we're having this fight in Texas right now, Raheem.

00:36:47.300 You've called this for a long time.

00:36:48.940 This is a massive problem.

00:36:51.920 These Western governments are really not with us, and now we're in this conflict in the Middle East against some of the most radical Islamists around,

00:37:00.720 and you're seeing people are choosing sides, right?

00:37:04.860 Well, Steve, you know, the British government now has probably two things it's operating with that are hanging over its neck, right?

00:37:16.080 Like the Damoclean sword.

00:37:18.720 Number one is we can't anger our Muslim voter base.

00:37:23.820 You know, they are terribly worried about that, especially because of what happened in Gorton and Denton,

00:37:29.660 the special election last week, where they lost that Muslim supporter base to the radical left Green Party.

00:37:36.180 And there are so many things that are still being unpacked in British politics as a result of that election last week.

00:37:42.680 And number two is if we do go in for this, if we're seen to side with the Americans,

00:37:47.080 especially if we're seen to side with the Israelis,

00:37:49.580 then we're going to have reprisal attacks in the United Kingdom.

00:37:53.820 Or on UK citizens around the world.

00:37:56.480 And again, you know, these are two elements where,

00:37:59.640 and I focused on this heavily over the course of my entire career.

00:38:03.400 You know, I wrote the book No-Go Zones in 2017, which was a bestseller at the time.

00:38:08.220 And I thought, great, that means somebody's going to pay attention to what I'm saying,

00:38:12.060 and perhaps change policy course.

00:38:13.840 Turns out not so true.

00:38:14.920 They just sort of read it and went, yeah, maybe.

00:38:17.320 And this is what's happening.

00:38:18.500 These Muslim-dominated enclaves have now turned into Muslim-dominated cities,

00:38:25.460 Muslim-dominated constituencies, Muslim-dominated parliaments, Muslim-dominated city halls.

00:38:31.800 And it's happened at a pace that I don't think anybody truly got to grips with even nine or ten years ago.

00:38:39.880 That's two sides of where Muslim communities in the Western world are asserting their influence, 0.98

00:38:47.060 at the ballot box and with that overhanging terrorist threat.

00:38:51.900 And this Labour government doesn't want to do anything about it.

00:38:54.420 Brandon Weikert, the Greater Israel Project, and I said it was like the last scene in The Godfather 1.

00:39:03.220 Bibi, talk to me.

00:39:04.240 You've got this expanding war now in Lebanon.

00:39:06.160 I think they had a mass exodus last night or yesterday from Beirut.

00:39:10.340 You've got this whole working with the Kurds, the Iraqi Kurds, and the Kurds on the border up there in Iran.

00:39:20.320 You've got – even there's some discussion I don't – or people are putting out, I don't know if it can be verified.

00:39:28.000 They may be even, you know, not that unhappy with some of the things going on in the Gulf where it's Arab versus Persian, 0.76

00:39:35.720 but Muslim versus Muslim.

00:39:37.060 Your thoughts on all that?

00:39:39.540 Well, I think that the war is metastasizing.

00:39:42.180 This is most assuredly a regional conflict, and as the British and the French and the Russians and the Chinese 0.99

00:39:47.640 become more involved in the background, this is very much becoming a world war.

00:39:53.140 Right here, I wrote in my book, The Shadow War, I said that if we go to war in Iran, it will be a world war, 0.88

00:39:59.440 and we are at that point now, and you're seeing it notably in places like Lebanon.

00:40:04.780 Now, during the 12-day war – actually, from 10-7 onward, the Shiite militia Hezbollah, which is Iranian-backed,

00:40:14.780 sort of stayed on the periphery of the inevitable fight that ensued from those 10-7 attacks.

00:40:21.220 But what that allowed for them to do is, yes, they lost those leaders with the Pager attack.

00:40:25.780 They were degraded for a period of time, but they've reconstituted their force.

00:40:29.800 That's why they were staying quiet.

00:40:31.380 They were slowly and quietly reconstituting their force for a moment like this.

00:40:36.380 And that is why now Israel is having to divert limited resources away from the big fight in Iran

00:40:42.560 to try to go after and preempt what I think is coming soon,

00:40:47.120 which will be strikes on Haifa with precision-guided munitions.

00:40:52.200 It's part of the precision project in Lebanon that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps was building with Hezbollah. 0.59

00:40:58.800 These are thousands and thousands of missiles.

00:41:01.600 They have oxygen fuel.

00:41:04.080 These are systems that will devastate the ammonium tanks in the Haifa port that will basically destroy the Haifa port

00:41:11.780 and render Israel economically unviable for a long period of time.

00:41:17.160 And so I think that's why the Israelis are now having to strike out in Lebanon.

00:41:21.200 Let me just say, I thought the Hezbollah thousands and thousands of missiles was a problem that had been taken care of. 1.00

00:41:27.300 You're saying it has not been taken care of.

00:41:28.860 I don't believe it's been.

00:41:29.840 I think it's been degraded.

00:41:31.100 Again, I think all of these claims by the United States and Israel are not accurate.

00:41:36.720 They are for public consumption.

00:41:38.260 It's for narrative shaping.

00:41:39.860 It has been one misdirection and lie after another, which is needed sometimes for OPSEC.

00:41:44.340 I agree, but just as an analytical, independent point of view, I do not believe for a second that the missile threat has been negated either in Lebanon or in Iran,

00:41:55.680 nor, by the way, do I believe they have fully degraded Hamas' capabilities in Gaza.

00:42:00.620 And now you're seeing this kind of pincer movement happening.

00:42:04.420 Also be watching for the Houthis.

00:42:06.320 The Houthis have been keeping their powder dry because they are ready to deploy their hypersonic weapons targeting Israel. 0.96

00:42:12.860 Why have they – the Houthis, which are always an interesting crew, they have been noticeably silent in this entire time.

00:42:21.200 And these were brothers that were in the fight with the – they were taking on the United States Navy in the Red Sea, right, and actually got a couple of hits in.

00:42:28.780 And let's get real.

00:42:30.120 They beat us.

00:42:30.660 With strategic level, they beat us.

00:42:32.120 They pushed us out.

00:42:33.160 We haven't been back.

00:42:34.880 In terms of the Houthis, the Iranians are clearly engaged in a long-term staggered strategy.

00:42:41.040 So they are not going to throw everything at once at the enemy.

00:42:45.460 They're going to do these sort of bursts to keep operational tempo sort of like a concerto, a symphony.

00:42:52.620 You have different parts operating at different times, but it's actually all in sync.

00:42:56.500 And so I believe that the Houthis are in reserve.

00:42:59.340 They're actively as a – basically a reserve force now.

00:43:02.520 And they're going to come online when we least expect them to.

00:43:05.960 I think it's very important to note that the Iranian military pointed out that the Americans appear to have thrown everything at the opening, which is our strategy usually.

00:43:18.380 We throw overwhelming power at the opening of an engagement.

00:43:21.700 That way we break the enemy's will, shock and awe.

00:43:24.900 But guess what?

00:43:26.040 It didn't work. 0.96

00:43:27.260 The enemy's will continues because these people are fanatics and they want to die.

00:43:33.040 So, you know, this is where we are.

00:43:34.960 And the strategy that Iran is employing, these are Persians. 1.00

00:43:37.960 These are not Arabs.

00:43:39.080 They're very smart.

00:43:41.140 Hang on one second.

00:43:42.340 We're going to take a short break.

00:43:43.920 Rahim Ghassan, Brandon Weikert with us this morning.

00:43:46.360 If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt?

00:43:56.720 Let's see if we can help you with that.

00:43:59.260 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?

00:44:06.260 I might have a solution.

00:44:07.540 Here's why now is the time to make a move.

00:44:11.560 This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books.

00:44:15.140 They clean up past due accounts.

00:44:18.040 They sell a write-off to debt to clear their books.

00:44:20.640 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.

00:44:29.980 That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.

00:44:35.840 And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage.

00:44:39.520 They monitor lender trends and understand the year-end pressure on creditors.

00:44:44.080 They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf.

00:44:47.480 Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy or taking on new loans.

00:44:56.060 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.

00:45:05.940 Get started now because your leverage may disappear at the end of the year.

00:45:12.380 Chat with a Done With Debt specialist at donewithdebt.com.

00:45:15.920 That's donewithdebt.com, donewithdebt.com.

00:45:20.440 Do it today.

00:45:22.500 War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.

00:45:29.480 Okay, we're juggling a lot of balls here on information that you folks need today.

00:45:34.440 Rahim, a major situation in Texas, been a lot of developments overnight.

00:45:39.260 This is still a moving, fluid situation, I will call it.

00:45:43.840 Can you tell us exactly where we are in this Senate runoff and particularly about Ken Paxton, sir?

00:45:52.720 Yeah, absolutely.

00:45:53.600 And, you know, on no better day to do it than on the 190th anniversary of the Alamo.

00:46:01.160 I have been saying to people in the last 24 hours that it's almost like President Trump has a bigger war in Texas as he does in the Middle East right now.

00:46:12.320 It's one of these things that is getting people, not just in Texas, but all around the country, absolutely invested and in some cases irate at the fact that President Trump might endorse and is indeed, you know, half expected to endorse one of his greatest detractors over the last decade, John Cornyn.

00:46:34.940 Now, a significant development happened yesterday with Ken Paxton, who, you know, really does, to my mind, represent the most loyal, MAGA type of person that you could possibly get.

00:46:49.620 I mean, this guy has been in Trump's corner, not just chit-chat and happy talk for the last decade, but actually on the front lines of this fight, on the legal front lines of this fight, on the political front lines of this fight.

00:47:01.840 And he comes out and he says, look, you know, I understand the President has a hard decision to make, but I'm willing to stand aside in this race if the Senate immediately passes the Save America Act,

00:47:16.760 which, you know, effectively is an invocation of a version of self-political sacrifice that somebody is willing to make for the country.

00:47:27.440 But it's also very clever. It's also, as I said yesterday, kind of genius, because what it does is it turns the whole race into a referendum on the Save America Act. 0.68

00:47:39.260 We know that John Thune and Cornyn and these guys do not have the same fervor and passion about American elections, their security, voter ID that the President and his base have.

00:47:53.760 We know that they are reluctant to do anything about the filibuster.

00:47:59.260 We know that the Senate GOP doesn't have the passion, the stamina to work with a talking filibuster over this.

00:48:07.160 And so, Paxson is basically lobbing one up in the air and saying, go on, hit that.

00:48:12.600 And they're not going to be able to.

00:48:14.860 So, what it means is that he gets to stay in the race.

00:48:17.760 The race is now a conscience race.

00:48:20.820 It's a race about whether or not you want your elections secured.

00:48:25.900 It's no longer about these two personalities.

00:48:28.640 And, of course, Cornyn falls right into the trap yesterday afternoon.

00:48:33.380 And as soon as Paxson makes this announcement, releases a six-minute-long cinematic attack ad on Ken Paxton, the man.

00:48:42.340 Well, that's not what Texans, that's not what Americans see this race as anymore.

00:48:47.100 And all the while, what Ken Paxton has done here is hand President Trump more leverage.

00:48:53.080 Because he's now able to go, look, I've got one guy who says he's willing to do something, but you guys have to pass this bill.

00:49:00.500 They're not going to pass the bill.

00:49:01.880 They're not even going to try and pass the bill.

00:49:03.540 They might lie and say they're going to knuckle down this weekend and, you know, get their heads into...

00:49:09.620 It's not going to happen.

00:49:11.620 And so if I were the president right now, I'd be looking at all of this and go, right, Paxton's my guy.

00:49:16.860 He's always had my back.

00:49:17.900 He's making this conciliatory offer.

00:49:20.020 And he's made this thing into a referendum on something that I really want passed.

00:49:23.740 I'll tell you what, I was going to make the Cornyn endorsement because, you know, Chris Lasavita and Susie Wiles have asked me to do so.

00:49:30.220 And they're working for Cornyn.

00:49:32.140 But actually, I'm going to stay out of this race and let Texans choose for themselves. 1.00

00:49:35.160 That, I think, is the best-case scenario.

00:49:36.760 I think, too, that there's a – it's not just that Cornyn – and you can see this in the scale and the viciousness of the attack ads on Ken Paxson.

00:49:49.120 But the grassroots out here in the hardcore Trump base, it's not simply that Cornyn's a rhino.

00:49:57.940 It's not simply that Cornyn's a manifestation of the Bush situation.

00:50:03.120 It's not simply that all of us standing together to take out the Bush grandson a couple of years ago that Ken Paxson did, and he was the instrument to do that, that really shattered the Bush dynasty.

00:50:16.940 It's not simply the fact of how they tried to impeach him for that and how we – the whole idea for War Room, Texas came on our defense of Ken Paxson and that bogus impeachment, of which galvanized the country and the grassroots.

00:50:31.540 It's not – it's not just Cornyn's complete blowoff of any of the MAGA policies, okay?

00:50:40.260 Now he's running as a border guy and all that, which is – they're all lies.

00:50:42.920 It's the fact that there is a certain percentage of the MAGA base that will never vote for John Cornyn, and why?

00:50:52.580 Because John Cornyn obviously hates Trump and has hated on Trump after the stealing of the 2020 election, the Jack Smith situation.

00:50:59.660 These clips that are out there just infuriate people that Cornyn – and Cornyn untethered in a term where he would never run again.

00:51:10.200 You have no earthy idea what this guy would do.

00:51:12.400 It's his hate on Trump that has Trump's most fervent followers saying, I will never pull the trigger for that guy.

00:51:19.580 I think he's the least likely to actually beat Tirico.

00:51:24.120 Ken Paxson, mano a mano, will beat Tirico.

00:51:27.620 I think he'll hold the seat.

00:51:29.800 We've got about a minute, Raheem.

00:51:31.180 Your thoughts?

00:51:32.200 I completely agree with that, by the way.

00:51:34.140 And there is polling that shows that even if President Trump endorses Cornyn in this runoff, that Paxton can still win.

00:51:41.800 And I sent that as an email out to our subscribers at the National Pulse last night and said, listen, if I hire a betting man, I'd throw in for Paxton.

00:51:52.400 You know, firstly, I'd donate money to him, and then I'd put some money on him.

00:51:56.160 Right?

00:51:56.420 I think –

00:51:56.800 But I'm not talking about even the – I'm not even talking about the runoff.

00:52:00.300 I'm not talking about the runoff.

00:52:01.140 I know, I know.

00:52:01.600 I'm saying in a general, there's a core of President Trump's most fervent, diehard followers that just will not vote for Cornyn.

00:52:11.480 Raheem, National Pulse –

00:52:12.800 He's Santa Anna, and Paxton's our Davy Crockett.

00:52:16.000 But we can't let this one die.

00:52:17.360 We've got to win this one.

00:52:18.740 Wow.
