Bannon's War Room - Episode 5200： Exposing Corruption Of 2020 Election In Maricopa County; Financial Markets React To Iran

00:00:00.000 Trump's approach has been our interest in advancing those interests from the beginning.

00:00:04.240 And so the fact that intelligence was gathered, whether from Israelis or ours,

00:00:08.480 and always checked by our intel agencies to make sure it's accurate.

00:00:13.420 A lot of times the best way to start operations is a trigger-based or condition-based moment.

00:00:18.520 And you can work together on whether that makes sense.

00:00:21.320 But we were always controlling the throttle about whether or not to go or not go,

00:00:26.360 and ultimately to advance American interests and protect American lives.

00:00:30.200 Some might look at that sequence of events and say,

00:00:32.320 well, then it was an opportunity more than an imminent threat.

00:00:35.980 I mean, I think much of that discussion is silly and academic.

00:00:41.700 They've been killing us for 48 years, 47 years.

00:00:44.740 They have unabated nuclear ambitions.

00:00:47.020 And when we obliterated their nuclear program at the end of the 12-day war in Operation Midnight Hammer,

00:00:52.660 they should have come to the table and said, OK, we get it.

00:00:55.320 You mean business? We're not going to have nukes? And they haven't.

00:00:58.220 And as a result, when the president looks at it, generationally, he sees a threat that would continue to gather.

00:01:04.800 I want to say, though, and the president's been clear about this,

00:01:07.220 it doesn't mean they won't have some get through, as we tragically saw.

00:01:11.100 And we're going to greet those families at Dover and honor and respect the sacrifice they gave.

00:01:16.040 And the president's been right to say there will be casualties.

00:01:18.020 Things like this don't happen without casualties.

00:01:19.760 There will be more casualties.

00:01:22.180 And no one is, I mean, especially our generation, knows what it's like to see Americans come home in caskets.

00:01:29.980 But that doesn't weaken us one bit.

00:01:32.320 It stiffens our spine and our resolve to say this is a fight we will finish.

00:01:36.120 We were pulling in race in New York, and we want everyone here to stay in New York.

00:01:41.140 You don't get to come from outside and then tell everyone else.

00:01:44.900 Go!

00:02:04.860 Guys, we don't want your television.

00:02:07.180 Stay back, stay back, guys.

00:02:19.460 Stay back, stay back, please.

00:02:20.880 Stay over here.

00:02:23.140 Hey, what's your name?

00:02:25.240 When I see you, I'd be close to each step in your

00:02:27.880 and hold that line down there.

00:02:32.020 I'm a little bit better than you should do.

00:02:33.840 If American people don't understand this war

00:02:56.260 and haven't rallied behind it,

00:02:57.800 then what exactly is driving it?

00:03:00.080 I have to step away from the scene for a moment

00:03:01.780 to speculate about at least one answer to that.

00:03:04.660 You see, it wasn't that long ago

00:03:05.640 that groups in parts of the Middle East

00:03:07.100 invoked extremist interpretations of Islam

00:03:09.560 to justify violence against the West.

00:03:12.540 Regimes like Saudi Arabia

00:03:13.720 encouraged extreme interpretations of Islam

00:03:16.140 that consider anyone who doesn't follow its doctrine,

00:03:18.740 including other Muslims, to be infidels.

00:03:22.100 The consequences, as we all know, have been devastating.

00:03:24.240 That ideology helped give rise to movements like Al-Qaeda

00:03:26.900 and later its offshoot, ISIS,

00:03:28.640 which not only targeted the West,

00:03:30.100 but Middle Eastern regimes as well.

00:03:32.440 State-sponsored clerics routinely denounced

00:03:34.740 Western civilization

00:03:35.800 and framed global politics as a civilizational struggle.

00:03:39.680 Americans remember the consequences of this worldview

00:03:41.860 because the violence it bred

00:03:43.160 eventually landed on our shores.

00:03:45.680 But that religious extremism did not arise in a vacuum.

00:03:49.500 Crucially, it was sustained by a political bargain.

00:03:52.860 For decades, the Saudi monarchy

00:03:54.520 maintained an implicit agreement with its clerical class.

00:03:57.700 The government will protect your authority

00:03:59.520 and enforce your worldview

00:04:01.040 so long as you legitimize the government.

00:04:04.140 Religion, in other words,

00:04:05.060 became the ideological engine

00:04:06.800 for maintaining political power.

00:04:09.460 And something eerily similar

00:04:10.820 is now unfolding right here at home,

00:04:12.680 and it's been building for some time.

00:04:14.740 More than two centuries after the framers

00:04:16.620 warned about the dangers of merging faith

00:04:18.740 with political power,

00:04:19.920 we're now seeing a version of that same dynamic

00:04:21.820 take hold at the highest levels

00:04:23.140 of the American government.

00:04:24.200 It's not just creeping in,

00:04:25.520 it's actively shaping how this war

00:04:27.340 is being understood and justified

00:04:28.660 from those advising the president

00:04:30.780 to military commanders

00:04:31.860 briefing troops before their deployment.

00:04:34.240 Is it possible to achieve the objectives

00:04:36.380 President Trump has set before you

00:04:38.360 if we don't locate and obtain

00:04:41.460 and extract the highly enriched uranium?

00:04:43.660 There's a lot of different ways

00:04:44.560 we can get after that.

00:04:45.560 They've used a conventional umbrella of missiles

00:04:48.780 that was growing every single day,

00:04:50.880 their production capacity to try to cover over

00:04:53.600 their nuclear blackmail ambitions.

00:04:55.600 As far as how you get at that nuclear option,

00:04:58.600 we'll make sure that their nuclear ambitions

00:05:00.580 are never achieved.

00:05:01.940 Will we take it out ourselves?

00:05:03.060 Well, I would never tell you or anybody else

00:05:05.000 what our options are.

00:05:06.040 See, that's another thing.

00:05:07.080 People keep asking...

00:05:08.180 It's a legitimate question.

00:05:08.860 It's a very fair question.

00:05:10.680 People ask boots on the ground,

00:05:12.080 no boots on the ground,

00:05:13.120 four weeks, two weeks, six weeks,

00:05:14.980 go in, go in.

00:05:15.680 And President Trump knows, I know,

00:05:18.520 you don't tell the enemy,

00:05:20.600 you don't tell the press,

00:05:21.960 you don't tell anybody

00:05:22.960 what your limits would be on an operation.

00:05:25.880 We're willing to go as far as we need to

00:05:27.420 in order to be successful.

00:05:28.760 Do we have any overt or covert forces

00:05:32.360 inside Iran now?

00:05:36.240 I wouldn't tell you that if we did.

00:05:38.440 The only reason I ask is earlier this week

00:05:40.140 you said no.

00:05:42.580 Is that still the answer?

00:05:43.620 Yeah, that's still the answer.

00:05:45.040 But we reserve the right.

00:05:47.120 We would be completely unwise

00:05:48.760 if we did not reserve the right

00:05:50.100 to take any particular option,

00:05:52.100 whether it included boots on the ground

00:05:53.420 or no boots on the ground.

00:05:54.560 This is being investigated

00:05:55.880 as an act of ISIS-inspired terrorism.

00:06:00.040 I can also provide

00:06:01.260 some additional information

00:06:02.520 building on my remarks

00:06:03.700 from Saturday evening.

00:06:05.320 At that time,

00:06:06.360 we were beginning to conduct

00:06:07.600 preliminary analysis of two devices

00:06:09.700 that were ignited and deployed

00:06:11.860 earlier that day.

00:06:12.900 They won in a crosswalk

00:06:14.720 on East End Avenue

00:06:16.080 and East 87th Street

00:06:17.460 and the other

00:06:17.980 on the west side of East End Avenue

00:06:20.020 between East 86th

00:06:21.720 and East 87th Streets.

00:06:23.640 That testing was performed

00:06:25.320 by the NYPD's bomb squad

00:06:27.420 and FBI special agent bomb technicians

00:06:31.180 in consultation

00:06:32.140 with an FBI chemist.

00:06:35.120 Preliminary test results

00:06:36.720 determined that these

00:06:37.780 were not hoax devices

00:06:39.720 nor smoke bombs.

00:06:40.960 They were improvised explosive devices

00:06:43.380 that could have caused

00:06:44.380 serious injury or death.

00:06:46.340 War in Iran.

00:06:47.460 Now entering its second week

00:06:49.020 as explosions erupt over Tehran

00:06:50.760 while the U.S.

00:06:52.180 and Israeli forces

00:06:52.980 continue their relentless

00:06:54.060 barrage of strikes

00:06:55.540 on the terrorist regime.

00:06:56.720 What do you want from Iran?

00:06:59.140 I said unconditioned.

00:07:00.340 You're not conditioned.

00:07:01.580 I said unconditioned.

00:07:02.820 It's where they cry uncle

00:07:04.320 or when they can't fight any long.

00:07:06.520 We've wiped down their leadership

00:07:08.780 numerous times already.

00:07:10.460 So what we're doing

00:07:11.080 is a great thing

00:07:11.800 not only for our country

00:07:13.280 and not only for Israel,

00:07:15.240 not only for the Middle East,

00:07:16.460 but for the world.

00:07:17.280 When this ends,

00:07:18.140 we're going to have

00:07:18.560 a much safer world.

00:07:19.860 So just hours ago,

00:07:21.180 Iran choosing

00:07:21.780 their new supreme leader,

00:07:23.240 the son of the Ayatollah,

00:07:24.660 Mojjaba Koumani.

00:07:26.600 It comes just days

00:07:27.640 after President Trump

00:07:28.460 called him a lightweight

00:07:29.400 and an unacceptable selection.

00:07:31.660 I just spoke to the president.

00:07:32.980 He said this,

00:07:33.780 I am not happy.

00:07:35.280 Also a breaking today,

00:07:36.620 a seventh U.S. service member

00:07:37.940 has died from injuries

00:07:39.400 sustained during

00:07:40.100 the first day of attacks.

00:07:41.820 Iran's foreign minister

00:07:42.740 has rejected calls

00:07:43.840 for a ceasefire

00:07:44.640 as Gulf states

00:07:45.340 have now been caught

00:07:46.680 in the crossfire.

00:07:47.720 So what's really happening

00:07:49.040 behind the scenes

00:07:49.800 with our Gulf state allies?

00:07:51.500 So, Joe,

00:07:51.740 the regime is taking a pounding.

00:07:54.560 The skies over Tehran

00:07:56.660 now essentially

00:07:57.640 are undefended,

00:07:58.580 which means that

00:07:59.940 U.S. and Israeli bombers

00:08:01.840 have been able

00:08:02.560 to hit targets at will.

00:08:05.980 The exploding oil tanks

00:08:07.580 that you mentioned

00:08:08.180 in the beginning

00:08:08.680 are just one example of that.

00:08:11.860 A veteran Iran operations person

00:08:16.760 I spoke with last night

00:08:17.980 said that in looking

00:08:19.580 at the situation now

00:08:20.660 in Iran,

00:08:21.340 you need to focus

00:08:22.040 on the seen

00:08:23.000 and the unseen.

00:08:24.840 The seen

00:08:25.820 is the decision

00:08:27.080 by the Iranian leadership

00:08:29.500 to install

00:08:31.040 basically the most

00:08:32.080 hardline person possible

00:08:33.940 as the new supreme leader.

00:08:35.860 It's a direct rebuff

00:08:37.040 to President Trump

00:08:38.020 in his talk about

00:08:39.060 I'll pick the next leader.

00:08:40.700 Well,

00:08:40.880 they picked somebody

00:08:41.860 who is so close

00:08:43.020 to the IRGC

00:08:44.340 that my source said

00:08:45.880 he's basically woven

00:08:47.180 into the fabric

00:08:48.260 of the IRGC.

00:08:50.420 So,

00:08:50.560 this is going to be

00:08:51.540 a hardline war leader

00:08:53.500 and that's the decision

00:08:54.440 they made,

00:08:55.420 decided to announce it publicly,

00:08:57.240 even though the risk

00:08:58.440 that he's going to be killed now

00:08:59.880 as his father was

00:09:00.960 is significant.

00:09:02.160 What's unseen?

00:09:03.840 What's unseen

00:09:04.520 is any sign

00:09:05.860 of revolt,

00:09:08.060 marches in the streets,

00:09:09.240 defection

00:09:10.520 from the ruling elite

00:09:13.540 in any part of the country.

00:09:15.460 There is no uprising

00:09:16.580 in Tehran

00:09:17.520 or in any

00:09:18.980 of the other provinces.

00:09:20.560 People were expecting

00:09:21.460 you'd see that kind

00:09:22.420 of fragmentation

00:09:23.240 by now

00:09:24.500 given the intensity

00:09:26.060 of the U.S. bombardment.

00:09:28.120 It isn't happening

00:09:29.100 which means that

00:09:30.680 somebody like

00:09:32.260 President Trump

00:09:33.040 almost has to talk

00:09:34.120 about use of ground troops

00:09:35.220 because there's no

00:09:36.440 indigenous revolt

00:09:37.600 that's underway.

00:09:38.220 Personally,

00:09:39.320 I think the idea

00:09:40.160 of invading

00:09:40.960 with ground troops

00:09:41.800 is so unlikely

00:09:43.080 because of memories

00:09:44.580 of Iraq

00:09:45.120 and just the difficulties,

00:09:47.040 Joe,

00:09:47.460 of this is a country

00:09:49.040 much bigger than Iraq,

00:09:50.360 much more difficult

00:09:51.180 to invade,

00:09:51.880 more mountainous.

00:09:53.240 So,

00:09:53.780 I tend to put

00:09:54.940 the threat

00:09:55.460 of ground troop invasion

00:09:56.560 aside,

00:09:57.260 but there's a real problem

00:09:58.920 here on both sides

00:10:00.300 of a tightening

00:10:01.380 no exit

00:10:02.380 scenario.

00:10:04.840 Neither side

00:10:05.380 is talking about

00:10:06.220 ways out.

00:10:06.800 At the very moment

00:10:07.820 the world economy

00:10:08.880 is really beginning

00:10:09.940 to hurt

00:10:10.420 because of the effects

00:10:11.940 of the blockade

00:10:12.780 of the Strait of Hormuz

00:10:13.680 and all the other

00:10:14.900 war effects.

00:10:15.760 We're heading toward

00:10:16.780 what,

00:10:17.360 a week from now,

00:10:18.240 I don't know

00:10:18.660 whether we'll have peace,

00:10:19.760 but we're going to have

00:10:20.540 financial markets

00:10:22.220 significantly tightened.

00:10:23.980 Evangelical Christianity

00:10:24.900 was one of the most

00:10:26.220 powerful political forces

00:10:28.000 behind Donald Trump's rise.

00:10:29.780 And this devil's bargain

00:10:31.000 that religious nationalists

00:10:33.160 struck with Trump

00:10:33.900 looks not unlike

00:10:35.060 the Saudi monarchy's

00:10:36.400 bargain with extremism.

00:10:38.760 Here in America,

00:10:39.700 they would overlook

00:10:40.240 Trump's moral,

00:10:41.140 ethical,

00:10:41.480 and legal transgressions,

00:10:42.560 and in return,

00:10:43.120 he would hand them

00:10:43.680 the keys to the kingdom.

00:10:44.740 Power over American culture,

00:10:46.460 power over education,

00:10:47.960 power over women's autonomy,

00:10:49.440 and increasingly,

00:10:50.180 power over the machinery

00:10:51.640 of state itself.

00:10:54.360 This is already happening

00:10:55.900 here at home,

00:10:56.500 and now we're seeing

00:10:57.220 how that alliance

00:10:58.020 is helping to shape

00:10:59.140 American foreign policy.

00:11:00.360 Mike Huckabee,

00:11:01.580 Trump's ambassador to Israel

00:11:02.680 and a former Baptist minister,

00:11:04.060 is a self-proclaimed

00:11:04.980 Christian Zionist.

00:11:06.620 This is a movement

00:11:07.240 that views Israel

00:11:07.980 not simply as a modern state,

00:11:09.620 but as the fulfillment

00:11:10.660 of biblical prophecy

00:11:12.040 and a necessary step

00:11:13.500 toward the second coming

00:11:14.580 of Christ.

00:11:15.460 Huckabee himself

00:11:16.120 has repeatedly framed

00:11:17.120 Middle Eastern politics

00:11:18.140 in explicitly theological terms.

00:11:20.740 Here's where it gets interesting.

00:11:21.680 In a recent interview,

00:11:22.920 responding to a question

00:11:24.000 about Genesis chapter 15,

00:11:25.760 verse 18's description

00:11:27.120 of Israel,

00:11:28.440 Huckabee suggested

00:11:29.200 it would be fine

00:11:29.980 if Israel controlled

00:11:31.200 the entire territory

00:11:32.260 stretching from the Nile

00:11:33.380 in Egypt to the Euphrates

00:11:34.900 in Iraq,

00:11:35.980 essentially much

00:11:36.700 of the modern Middle East.

00:11:37.960 Here's what the biblical

00:11:38.620 verse states.

00:11:39.800 On that day,

00:11:41.060 the Lord made a covenant

00:11:42.100 with Abraham,

00:11:42.960 saying to your descendants,

00:11:44.280 I have given this land

00:11:45.560 from the river of Egypt

00:11:46.900 as far as the great river,

00:11:49.340 the river Euphrates.

00:11:51.080 This is a sitting U.S. ambassador,

00:11:53.500 but Huckabee is hardly

00:11:54.440 the only figure

00:11:55.360 in Trump's orbit

00:11:56.140 advancing extremist

00:11:57.660 religious ideas.

00:11:58.900 Senator Lindsey Graham

00:11:59.840 has described

00:12:00.380 the current conflict

00:12:01.180 as a religious war

00:12:02.440 that will determine

00:12:03.120 the Middle East

00:12:03.680 for a thousand years.

00:12:05.560 When religious ideology,

00:12:06.880 state power,

00:12:07.500 and military force merge,

00:12:08.960 history tells us

00:12:09.720 exactly what happens.

00:12:10.940 It leads to what

00:12:11.600 James Madison called

00:12:12.540 superstition,

00:12:13.640 bigotry,

00:12:14.220 and persecution.

00:12:15.620 The United States military

00:12:16.860 was never meant

00:12:17.480 to fight for

00:12:18.140 religious prophecy.

00:12:19.580 Today,

00:12:20.220 under Trump,

00:12:20.800 Hegseth,

00:12:21.140 and the Christian nationalist

00:12:22.060 movement surrounding them,

00:12:23.140 that line is being erased

00:12:24.740 in real time,

00:12:25.860 and the price of that erasure

00:12:26.840 will be paid for

00:12:27.920 with the lives

00:12:28.540 of innocent civilians

00:12:29.560 abroad.

00:12:30.760 It may be paid for

00:12:31.640 with the lives

00:12:32.180 of innocent civilians

00:12:33.040 here at home,

00:12:33.640 and it will surely

00:12:34.440 be paid for

00:12:35.500 by American soldiers,

00:12:37.000 sailors,

00:12:37.380 and airmen,

00:12:37.920 and women,

00:12:38.880 many of whom

00:12:39.500 are being told

00:12:40.100 that they are carrying

00:12:40.940 out God's command.

00:12:42.420 And we're going to win.

00:12:44.900 Israel and the United States,

00:12:46.580 you just wait to see

00:12:47.720 what comes in the next two weeks.

00:12:50.020 The next two weeks meaning what?

00:12:53.420 We're going to blow

00:12:54.420 the hell out of these people.

00:12:56.120 This regime is in a death row now.

00:12:58.780 It is going to be on its knees.

00:13:01.120 It's going to fall,

00:13:02.660 and when it falls,

00:13:03.840 we're going to have peace

00:13:04.780 like no other time.

00:13:06.300 We're going to have prosperity

00:13:07.420 unlike anyone could ever imagine.

00:13:09.860 Peace brings prosperity.

00:13:11.060 You can't do it by talking.

00:13:13.060 The Democrats criticize

00:13:14.220 this operation.

00:13:15.600 They didn't do a damn thing.

00:13:17.280 These men and women

00:13:17.980 in the military

00:13:18.700 should make us all proud.

00:13:20.180 And you know,

00:13:20.860 this war may be hurting Americans.

00:13:24.480 American consumers

00:13:25.560 at the pump,

00:13:26.520 but one person

00:13:28.000 who's doing swimmingly well

00:13:30.280 and enjoying a windfall

00:13:32.500 is Russia's invading autocrat

00:13:34.360 Vladimir Putin,

00:13:35.300 and now the U.S.

00:13:37.120 is considering lifting

00:13:38.140 even more sanctions

00:13:39.460 off of Russian oil.

00:13:41.060 As the cost of crude

00:13:42.240 has surged above $100 a barrel

00:13:44.600 for the first time since 2022,

00:13:47.140 India refiners

00:13:48.060 will now be granted

00:13:48.940 a three-day waiver

00:13:50.060 to purchase Russian oil.

00:13:52.620 That's according

00:13:53.200 to Treasury Secretary Scott Besson.

00:13:55.340 But President Trump

00:13:56.140 says rising oil prices,

00:13:58.220 quote,

00:13:58.680 are a very small price to pay,

00:14:00.440 adding, quote,

00:14:01.220 only fools

00:14:02.220 would think

00:14:04.100 differently.

00:14:05.060 Let me just say this.

00:14:07.680 Go America!

00:14:08.920 Go President!

00:14:10.160 You've got 92% of MAGA behind you,

00:14:12.720 and I bet you have

00:14:13.520 most of the country behind you.

00:14:15.520 We're going to destroy this enemy,

00:14:17.380 free the people in Iran.

00:14:19.020 China's upset,

00:14:20.300 the Russians are upset,

00:14:21.920 and the Democrats are upset.

00:14:23.980 That's it.

00:14:24.660 I'm done.

00:14:25.120 Monday, 9 March,

00:14:29.220 in the year of our Lord,

00:14:30.100 2026.

00:14:31.540 I want to thank our team

00:14:32.480 in Denver

00:14:32.940 and our own team

00:14:34.380 here at the War Room

00:14:36.000 for a magnificent cold open.

00:14:37.860 We're going to take

00:14:38.200 a short commercial break.

00:14:39.740 John Solomon,

00:14:40.940 Eric Bolling

00:14:41.480 on the other side.

00:14:59.420 A new year means

00:15:00.700 new financial goals,

00:15:02.140 like making sure

00:15:02.900 your savings are secure

00:15:04.080 and diversified.

00:15:05.720 Will this be the year

00:15:06.800 you finally listen to me

00:15:08.440 and talk to someone

00:15:09.300 from Birch Gold Group?

00:15:11.740 Honestly,

00:15:12.280 they're great people.

00:15:13.060 I appreciate their

00:15:13.700 educational approach

00:15:15.000 and their understanding

00:15:15.980 of macroeconomics.

00:15:18.040 There are forces

00:15:18.760 pushing the dollar

00:15:19.600 lower and gold higher,

00:15:21.160 which is why

00:15:21.940 they believe

00:15:22.820 every American

00:15:23.660 should own

00:15:24.600 physical gold.

00:15:26.280 So until February,

00:15:28.460 if you are a

00:15:29.220 first-time gold buyer,

00:15:30.900 Birch Gold is offering

00:16:22.720 Here's your host,

00:16:24.160 Stephen K.

00:16:24.880 Bannon.

00:16:29.220 Okay,

00:16:29.780 it's Monday,

00:16:30.300 9 March,

00:16:31.240 Year of the Lord

00:16:31.600 2026.

00:16:32.980 Let's do a level

00:16:33.840 set here.

00:16:34.220 We're going

00:16:35.220 to accomplish

00:16:37.120 three objectives

00:16:38.400 on today's show.

00:16:39.720 We are going

00:16:40.540 to get into

00:16:41.100 this expanding

00:16:44.220 war

00:16:44.640 and the economic

00:16:45.780 implications

00:16:46.520 and Eric Bolling,

00:16:47.440 who knows

00:16:47.780 oil trade

00:16:49.040 and still trades,

00:16:50.160 his account is going

00:16:50.840 to join us

00:16:51.240 at the bottom

00:16:51.600 of the hour.

00:16:52.180 Poso is going

00:16:52.680 to be on

00:16:53.000 later in the show.

00:16:55.180 We're going to get

00:16:55.480 to as much

00:16:55.820 of that as we can.

00:16:56.560 A lot of our

00:16:57.080 analysts and experts

00:16:57.880 are just not going

00:16:58.460 to have time

00:16:58.760 for today.

00:16:59.820 Although Natalie

00:17:00.320 is going to join

00:17:00.820 us this afternoon.

00:17:01.540 I'm going to try

00:17:01.840 to get more

00:17:02.400 folks in here.

00:17:04.220 Then also,

00:17:05.020 Caroline Wren

00:17:05.640 is going to join

00:17:06.240 us in the second

00:17:07.140 hour and we're

00:17:07.720 going to do

00:17:07.980 a very deep

00:17:09.020 kind of rollout

00:17:10.180 of this Cornyn-Paxson

00:17:11.340 situation.

00:17:13.340 But there are

00:17:14.840 many things going

00:17:15.460 on and many things

00:17:16.300 that are not just

00:17:16.820 important to MAGA

00:17:17.540 but most important

00:17:18.700 to this country

00:17:19.520 and this republic.

00:17:21.040 And part of that

00:17:21.700 is the folks

00:17:22.740 that are going

00:17:23.360 after the deep state.

00:17:25.240 Many of the deep state

00:17:26.080 people,

00:17:26.500 and we play clips

00:17:27.220 when we do these

00:17:27.660 cold opens.

00:17:28.360 And once again,

00:17:28.860 I want to thank

00:17:29.340 the team for putting

00:17:30.220 in all the different

00:17:31.100 aspects of this

00:17:31.880 into a 15-minute clip,

00:17:33.980 which is amazing.

00:17:35.560 You see a lot of

00:17:36.560 these Brennan

00:17:37.080 and these people

00:17:37.660 up there all the time.

00:17:39.700 John Solomon,

00:17:40.840 you've got nothing

00:17:42.740 short of a blockbuster

00:17:43.740 story on Just the News.

00:17:46.580 I think you broke

00:17:47.160 overnight.

00:17:48.520 Maricopa County.

00:17:49.400 Now,

00:17:49.560 you've been at the tip

00:17:50.280 of the spear

00:17:50.860 of allowing us

00:17:52.560 to understand

00:17:53.460 the overall framing

00:17:55.280 of what's happening

00:17:56.060 in Georgia.

00:17:56.500 And we've had tons

00:17:57.300 of the local people

00:17:58.180 have been fighting

00:17:58.720 the fight in Georgia.

00:18:00.540 Maricopa.

00:18:01.440 And as Georgia

00:18:02.140 is the key

00:18:03.340 that probably

00:18:03.720 picks the lock today

00:18:04.780 because people

00:18:05.560 stood in the breach

00:18:06.280 and go,

00:18:07.120 everybody remembers

00:18:08.240 back from that night

00:18:09.340 that it was really

00:18:10.640 Arizona and the call

00:18:11.720 by Fox News

00:18:12.920 that kind of

00:18:13.540 seemed like

00:18:14.560 a domino effect

00:18:15.500 and really disoriented

00:18:17.580 many, many, many people

00:18:19.100 who were not just

00:18:19.880 Fox fans,

00:18:20.480 but obviously

00:18:20.900 Trump supporters.

00:18:21.900 And we've never

00:18:22.940 really gotten

00:18:23.680 steady on that.

00:18:25.260 So go through

00:18:26.240 what your story

00:18:26.940 says today

00:18:27.460 because I think

00:18:28.140 this is so important

00:18:29.640 I wanted to lead

00:18:30.380 with it this morning,

00:18:31.220 sir.

00:18:32.220 Thank you.

00:18:32.940 I appreciate it.

00:18:33.900 So Maricopa County

00:18:35.060 has had more

00:18:35.960 than a decade

00:18:36.660 of long-term problems.

00:18:39.020 Back in the early 2000s,

00:18:40.880 it was the Democrats

00:18:41.960 who always cried foul

00:18:42.900 that Maricopa County

00:18:43.820 couldn't count votes

00:18:44.640 correctly,

00:18:45.140 couldn't administer

00:18:46.320 the election correctly.

00:18:47.360 Then in 2024,

00:18:49.220 Republicans raised

00:18:50.560 the same curtains

00:18:51.300 and Democrats suddenly

00:18:52.260 went into a state

00:18:53.140 of denial.

00:18:53.660 The FBI has decided

00:18:55.840 that the history

00:18:56.800 of Maricopa County

00:18:58.200 is problematic

00:18:59.260 and that under federal law,

00:19:02.020 a county or a state

00:19:03.740 must administer

00:19:04.580 the election

00:19:05.420 the way their state laws

00:19:06.460 do require it.

00:19:07.580 If they don't,

00:19:08.680 it is a federal

00:19:09.540 legal violation.

00:19:10.680 This is why they

00:19:11.300 raided Fulton County,

00:19:12.460 another place

00:19:13.020 with a long history

00:19:14.420 of irregularities

00:19:16.040 and misconduct

00:19:16.780 and quite frankly,

00:19:17.660 just incompetent

00:19:19.540 election counting.

00:19:20.520 And so the focus

00:19:22.060 in this grand jury subpoena

00:19:25.080 that went in the last few days

00:19:26.560 to Maricopa County

00:19:27.400 sees many gigabytes

00:19:28.980 of election data

00:19:30.040 is the 2024 election,

00:19:32.760 which is interesting

00:19:33.340 because President Trump

00:19:34.840 won there.

00:19:35.400 But there is a discovery

00:19:36.480 that was made

00:19:37.320 by congressional observers.

00:19:40.800 Every year,

00:19:41.220 the House Administration

00:19:41.920 Committee sends observers,

00:19:44.240 one Democrat,

00:19:44.900 one Republican,

00:19:45.500 to various voting centers.

00:19:47.400 One of the teams,

00:19:49.020 the Republican Democrat team

00:19:50.480 that went to Maricopa County

00:19:51.860 observed something

00:19:52.740 very disturbing.

00:19:53.600 They took pictures.

00:19:54.880 They wrote a long report.

00:19:56.840 Congressman Abe Hamaday

00:19:58.120 hinted at this

00:19:59.200 in an oversight letter recently.

00:20:01.380 The information

00:20:02.300 in that report

00:20:03.040 was so troubling

00:20:03.760 to the FBI

00:20:04.420 and when coupled

00:20:05.080 to the things

00:20:06.200 that the Arizona Senate

00:20:07.200 found in 2020

00:20:08.220 that were raised

00:20:09.560 as concerns

00:20:10.240 and the things

00:20:10.780 that Hamaday

00:20:11.320 and Carrie Lake

00:20:11.940 raised in 2022,

00:20:13.820 they were able

00:20:14.940 to get a grand jury subpoena

00:20:16.100 from a federal grand jury

00:20:17.360 and execute

00:20:18.880 the transmission

00:20:20.440 of a large amount

00:20:21.460 of voter data.

00:20:22.220 They're going to go

00:20:22.680 through that data

00:20:23.500 looking for some

00:20:24.780 of the telltale signs

00:20:25.840 that were in this

00:20:26.440 congressional report.

00:20:27.380 I hope in the next

00:20:28.520 couple days

00:20:29.000 to make that

00:20:29.540 congressional report public

00:20:30.860 so everybody can see

00:20:32.040 what it was

00:20:33.080 that observers

00:20:33.640 on Brian Stiles'

00:20:34.940 House Administration

00:20:35.700 Committee saw.

00:20:37.020 Brian Stiles himself

00:20:38.220 acknowledged that

00:20:39.020 they were working

00:20:39.880 with federal authorities

00:20:40.780 on this specific

00:20:41.860 Arizona matter.

00:20:42.840 So you got Congress

00:20:43.840 working with the FBI

00:20:44.980 and I think

00:20:46.280 this is phase two

00:20:47.500 of about a five-phase

00:20:48.900 look at states,

00:20:50.480 particularly blue states

00:20:51.540 or blue areas

00:20:52.460 of states

00:20:52.960 where elections

00:20:54.140 are not administered

00:20:55.260 the way the law

00:20:56.020 says they're supposed

00:20:56.660 to be

00:20:57.020 and as a result

00:20:58.220 the FBI may come in

00:20:59.400 and prosecute people

00:21:00.420 because it is

00:21:01.260 a federal felony

00:21:02.400 if you don't follow

00:21:03.460 your state's laws

00:21:04.060 if you don't treat

00:21:04.740 everybody the same

00:21:05.960 under your state law.

00:21:06.880 So that's where

00:21:07.900 we're at today.

00:21:08.720 Now, over the next

00:21:09.700 10 days, Steve,

00:21:10.400 we're going to have

00:21:10.800 a lot more.

00:21:11.760 We are going to be

00:21:12.660 able to get

00:21:13.080 for the first time

00:21:13.900 I've been able

00:21:14.360 to start processing

00:21:15.100 these documents.

00:21:16.660 Large body of evidence

00:21:18.220 that's in the

00:21:18.840 intelligence community

00:21:19.900 that raises concerns

00:21:21.420 about foreign interference

00:21:22.760 in our elections.

00:21:24.160 That'll probably

00:21:25.080 be the end of this week

00:21:26.460 or early next week.

00:21:27.520 The documents

00:21:28.120 are explosive.

00:21:29.100 They're really remarkable.

00:21:30.800 And what's most remarkable

00:21:31.900 is that all this

00:21:33.200 has been kind of secret

00:21:34.040 from the American people,

00:21:35.300 possibly President Trump

00:21:36.380 in some cases

00:21:37.100 until recently,

00:21:38.220 of course,

00:21:38.560 when his team told him.

00:21:39.880 I think there's a lot there.

00:21:41.180 And then in between

00:21:41.740 those two things,

00:21:42.740 we're going to reveal

00:21:44.220 another code-named

00:21:47.380 FBI investigation

00:21:48.360 that targeted

00:21:49.120 President Trump,

00:21:49.940 one you've never

00:21:50.500 heard of before,

00:21:51.640 one that may be

00:21:52.400 among the most troubling.

00:21:53.500 We have Crossfire Hurricane,

00:21:54.900 of course.

00:21:55.660 We've got Plasmic Echo.

00:21:57.200 And we have

00:21:57.960 the third one

00:22:00.360 that targeted

00:22:00.860 the January 6th

00:22:03.200 investigation,

00:22:04.760 Arctic Frost.

00:22:05.640 There's another one

00:22:06.680 that is really

00:22:07.820 deeply troubling.

00:22:08.700 It's troubling

00:22:09.120 to the FBI.

00:22:10.300 It's troubling

00:22:10.580 to the intelligence

00:22:11.320 community.

00:22:12.440 And hopefully

00:22:12.880 between now

00:22:13.560 and next week,

00:22:14.100 we'll get all

00:22:14.640 four of those stories out.

00:22:17.720 Hang on.

00:22:18.440 You're telling me

00:22:19.060 that they've found

00:22:20.660 cash in the team?

00:22:23.140 Yeah.

00:22:23.260 I assume you're telling

00:22:24.200 me they found

00:22:24.880 a fourth targeting

00:22:27.040 of President Trump

00:22:28.020 by the deep state?

00:22:30.220 Yeah.

00:22:30.820 And it's a very serious

00:22:32.000 one because it seems

00:22:33.440 to involve speech

00:22:34.760 delimiters.

00:22:35.760 In other words,

00:22:36.720 if you said something

00:22:38.300 or you spoke

00:22:38.940 a certain way

00:22:39.580 about a certain issue,

00:22:41.020 you potentially were deemed

00:22:42.180 a national security threat

00:22:43.500 to the United States

00:22:44.260 and you were put

00:22:44.900 under an assessment

00:22:45.620 in potentially

00:22:46.260 criminal investigation.

00:22:48.100 So I learned

00:22:48.880 of this operation

00:22:49.840 because I was targeted

00:22:52.020 in 2022.

00:22:52.940 I had to cooperate

00:22:53.460 with the Justice Department.

00:22:55.120 When the Justice Department

00:22:56.220 and I talked,

00:22:57.560 they realized

00:22:58.060 that their entire theory

00:22:59.260 of the case

00:22:59.720 was ludicrous.

00:23:01.220 But as a result

00:23:02.260 of that,

00:23:02.680 I've been on

00:23:03.180 a two and a half,

00:23:03.800 three year mission

00:23:04.440 to get these documents,

00:23:06.720 to get the truth out

00:23:07.900 about what happened.

00:23:08.700 Recently,

00:23:09.840 FBI agents

00:23:10.680 working for

00:23:11.580 Kash Patel

00:23:12.780 found this operation,

00:23:14.280 found the SCIF

00:23:14.960 that it was hidden,

00:23:16.340 found the code word

00:23:19.480 name for it,

00:23:20.700 found the prohibited

00:23:22.800 access files.

00:23:23.840 So one of the things

00:23:24.560 that Chris Ray's people did

00:23:25.680 is they would start

00:23:26.360 these political investigations

00:23:27.680 targeting Trump

00:23:28.900 or even someone else.

00:23:29.980 They would keep it

00:23:30.700 off the books.

00:23:31.360 Most people could not see

00:23:32.440 it in the FBI

00:23:33.040 Sentinel system.

00:23:33.860 This one was one

00:23:35.100 of those well-hidden

00:23:36.560 as a result

00:23:38.120 of some senior leadership

00:23:39.340 that worked

00:23:40.200 around Kash Patel.

00:23:41.380 You know,

00:23:41.500 there were people

00:23:41.960 that were in this era

00:23:43.020 that knew

00:23:44.300 what was going on.

00:23:45.080 In some cases,

00:23:45.660 maybe even been required

00:23:46.740 to work on certain things.

00:23:48.360 They knew what was going on

00:23:49.780 and they've been guiding

00:23:50.840 Kash Patel

00:23:51.580 to these records

00:23:52.280 and helping him

00:23:52.940 find these records

00:23:53.800 in the labyrinth

00:23:55.140 of secrecy

00:23:55.780 that Chris Ray's

00:23:56.600 FBI created.

00:23:57.760 So these senior executives

00:23:58.960 are really helping

00:23:59.900 uncover some really

00:24:01.860 jaw-dropping stuff.

00:24:02.880 And I think

00:24:03.960 in the next couple days

00:24:05.120 people will see that

00:24:06.080 as well.

00:24:09.800 John,

00:24:10.320 and I'm going to ask you

00:24:10.920 if you can stay

00:24:11.260 through the break

00:24:11.840 and I'm going to have

00:24:12.220 to back up Bowling

00:24:12.960 for a second

00:24:13.460 because this is so disturbing.

00:24:15.120 Sorry about that.

00:24:16.020 I love Eric.

00:24:16.760 No, no, no, no, no.

00:24:18.780 Let me go with the last first.

00:24:20.560 You've been

00:24:21.180 one of the biggest,

00:24:23.160 I would say,

00:24:23.840 defenders

00:24:24.280 of the institution

00:24:25.540 of the CIA

00:24:26.300 and FBI

00:24:26.820 and saying,

00:24:27.280 look,

00:24:27.560 there's bad apples

00:24:28.540 and we've got to go,

00:24:29.520 we've got to pull

00:24:30.080 people accountable.

00:24:31.000 The way we're going

00:24:31.420 to do that

00:24:31.820 is these deep investigations.

00:24:33.940 Don't you think

00:24:34.920 that this last

00:24:36.640 goes to my point

00:24:38.140 that it's an institutional

00:24:39.580 rot

00:24:40.120 that's even farther

00:24:41.300 beyond people?

00:24:42.340 I mean,

00:24:42.480 now,

00:24:43.040 this one may be

00:24:44.120 the most disturbing

00:24:44.860 of all,

00:24:45.340 even more than

00:24:45.840 Arctic Frost

00:24:46.900 that you've got

00:24:49.580 another,

00:24:49.940 another,

00:24:51.180 and it's not just,

00:24:54.680 it's not just,

00:24:55.520 you find it

00:24:55.880 the most disturbing.

00:24:57.080 We're here

00:24:57.760 on the 9th of March

00:24:59.020 of 2026

00:25:00.040 after Cash

00:25:00.800 has been there

00:25:01.220 a year investigating

00:25:03.080 and going into

00:25:04.020 the records,

00:25:04.580 like saying,

00:25:05.060 going to a skiff

00:25:05.780 and they find it boxes.

00:25:06.900 We have no earthly idea.

00:25:09.340 There's,

00:25:09.940 they're,

00:25:10.360 they're probably

00:25:11.160 in all likelihood

00:25:11.860 other things,

00:25:12.660 maybe not direct target

00:25:13.460 of the president,

00:25:13.960 but other things.

00:25:15.140 Doesn't this hit

00:25:16.080 the trip wire

00:25:16.840 that finally

00:25:17.700 the president,

00:25:19.480 people around him

00:25:20.220 and people on Capitol Hill,

00:25:21.580 particularly people

00:25:22.260 that know the

00:25:22.720 intelligence community

00:25:23.440 or have to come together

00:25:24.680 even on the right

00:25:26.000 and say,

00:25:26.320 look,

00:25:26.720 this problem

00:25:27.280 is so serious.

00:25:28.640 It's so deep

00:25:29.440 into the culture

00:25:30.260 of what they were doing

00:25:32.280 that there has to be

00:25:33.780 a deeper investigation

00:25:35.060 to actually starting

00:25:36.100 to look at breaking

00:25:37.140 these things up,

00:25:38.360 sir.

00:25:39.560 Yeah.

00:25:40.140 Well,

00:25:40.320 listen,

00:25:40.580 I think that is underway.

00:25:41.800 We're not seeing

00:25:42.420 a lot of it,

00:25:43.020 but in the reporting

00:25:44.080 I've done,

00:25:44.560 I'm stumbling

00:25:45.000 into really significant

00:25:46.220 grand jury investigations,

00:25:47.720 particularly the one

00:25:48.560 down in Florida,

00:25:49.300 but it's not the only one.

00:25:51.220 Listen,

00:25:51.660 I have been chronicling

00:25:52.940 the abuses at the FBI

00:25:54.260 all the way back

00:25:55.100 to the 1990s.

00:25:56.760 I started by breaking

00:25:58.440 the FBI lab scandal

00:25:59.640 in the 1990s

00:26:00.560 where the FBI

00:26:01.660 cheated for decades,

00:26:03.060 not years,

00:26:03.620 decades.

00:26:04.120 They cheated

00:26:04.580 on various sciences.

00:26:06.100 They made up fake science

00:26:07.660 to convict people.

00:26:09.160 Right after 9-11,

00:26:10.380 I broke all the stories,

00:26:11.560 including the Arizona memo

00:26:12.960 and the Moussaoui files

00:26:15.360 that showed that the FBI

00:26:16.520 had all the components

00:26:17.980 of the 9-11 plot,

00:26:20.740 but did fail

00:26:21.340 to put them together

00:26:22.120 in a quick way.

00:26:22.540 They even knew

00:26:23.100 the pilots were training

00:26:24.360 for a mission

00:26:25.580 and didn't act quick enough.

00:26:27.660 And then,

00:26:27.960 of course,

00:26:28.320 I unraveled Russia collusion

00:26:29.660 with the crossfire hurricane

00:26:32.340 in there.

00:26:33.020 This institution

00:26:33.760 has been sick

00:26:34.660 since the day

00:26:35.320 that J. Edgar Hoover

00:26:36.780 first created it.

00:26:37.620 It is always going

00:26:38.620 to be flawed.

00:26:39.820 The problem is

00:26:40.800 there are no courageous

00:26:42.700 members in the United States

00:26:43.940 Senates,

00:26:44.380 maybe absent Ron Johnson

00:26:45.780 and Chuck Grassley,

00:26:46.620 who really are

00:26:47.440 doing amazing work.

00:26:48.880 By the way,

00:26:49.260 they're going to be

00:26:49.600 a big part

00:26:50.180 of the story

00:26:50.720 later this week.

00:26:52.960 The will is not there

00:26:55.240 in the Republican Party

00:26:56.340 to fix this.

00:26:57.080 They can't even get

00:26:57.980 FISA reform done

00:27:00.000 through Congress,

00:27:00.720 so you might as well

00:27:01.320 forget Congress.

00:27:01.980 Congress is a dead end

00:27:03.000 for anything

00:27:03.560 that's going to be a fix,

00:27:05.180 which what is going

00:27:05.920 to have to happen

00:27:06.700 is Kash Patel

00:27:07.980 has to realign

00:27:08.880 the agency

00:27:09.380 from the inside out.

00:27:10.420 It's the only way

00:27:11.280 it's going to get done.

00:27:12.520 It is starting to happen

00:27:13.640 in very big ways.

00:27:14.840 Some things are not public yet

00:27:16.060 because they can't talk about it.

00:27:17.440 But I think there are

00:27:18.980 some improvements.

00:27:19.780 That said,

00:27:20.720 the CIA and the FBI

00:27:21.800 are going to always

00:27:22.640 thwart the American people.

00:27:23.700 They're always going to hide

00:27:24.560 the truth from the American people.

00:27:26.240 When you see these

00:27:27.120 intelligence files

00:27:28.080 on foreign intervention,

00:27:29.260 you're going to go,

00:27:29.880 how in God's name

00:27:30.940 could they not have told us

00:27:32.220 six years ago,

00:27:33.360 five years ago,

00:27:34.060 four years ago,

00:27:34.800 three years ago?

00:27:35.880 And I also think

00:27:37.040 that these files

00:27:37.720 that come out later this week

00:27:38.820 or early next week

00:27:39.680 will have an impact

00:27:40.740 on senators.

00:27:41.380 Those who are reluctant

00:27:42.520 to pass the Save America Act

00:27:44.480 will suddenly have

00:27:45.340 a personal local reason

00:27:47.540 to want to support

00:27:49.200 the Save Act

00:27:49.780 because of the fact

00:27:50.640 that their state

00:27:51.260 may have been a victim

00:27:52.140 of some mal-influence operations

00:27:54.380 by one or two

00:27:56.080 foreign powers.

00:27:56.800 John, hang on for one second.

00:28:00.460 I know you've got to bounce,

00:28:01.380 but I've got to hold you.

00:28:02.040 A couple more questions

00:28:02.900 on this kind of blockbuster news.

00:28:05.180 What are we going to start

00:28:05.780 on Monday?

00:28:06.480 John Solomon.

00:28:08.660 Hang on.

00:28:09.300 We're going to take

00:28:09.580 a short commercial break.

00:28:10.500 John Solomon,

00:28:11.280 Eric Bolling,

00:28:11.800 we're going to talk about,

00:28:12.660 guess what?

00:28:14.280 Oil and gas

00:28:15.240 impact on the world economy.

00:28:17.540 All next in The War Room.

00:28:20.080 The world is getting

00:28:21.480 more unstable

00:28:22.440 and chaotic every day.

00:28:24.420 It seems like

00:28:25.040 everywhere you look,

00:28:26.800 there's another crisis,

00:28:28.240 another controversy,

00:28:29.240 another conflict,

00:28:30.660 or just outright catastrophe.

00:28:32.840 You can't control

00:28:34.000 what happens out there,

00:28:35.300 but you can control

00:28:36.520 how you prepare for it.

00:28:39.060 You can make sure

00:28:40.120 that no matter what happens,

00:28:45.160 reaches your doorstep.

00:28:47.580 You know,

00:28:47.940 things like having enough food to eat

00:29:56.980 John Solomon joins us

00:29:58.800 with all signal,

00:29:59.820 nose, noise.

00:30:00.320 Solomon,

00:30:01.200 you've been on this one,

00:30:04.000 this last one,

00:30:05.040 for a couple of three years,

00:30:06.520 right?

00:30:07.780 Yeah,

00:30:08.300 about three years.

00:30:09.480 After I learned

00:30:10.400 that I had been targeted

00:30:11.360 by an FBI and Justice Department

00:30:12.940 investigation,

00:30:13.760 just because of the reporting I did,

00:30:15.680 I set on a journey

00:30:16.660 and I was determined

00:30:17.440 to get to the truth of it.

00:30:18.500 And it led me down two avenues.

00:30:20.760 One,

00:30:21.280 this operation

00:30:21.940 that we'll talk about

00:30:22.720 later this week,

00:30:23.460 and then the other,

00:30:24.540 election integrity issues

00:30:26.840 that weren't on the table.

00:30:27.980 A lot of issues

00:30:28.640 have been on the table.

00:30:29.540 We know what they are

00:30:30.280 and they are what they are.

00:30:31.220 But there wasn't

00:30:32.300 one particular area

00:30:33.660 that the intelligence community

00:30:35.360 was intent on keeping

00:30:36.420 from President Trump

00:30:37.360 and quite frankly,

00:30:38.120 from President Biden.

00:30:39.800 And drilling

00:30:41.000 through that concrete,

00:30:41.840 we've really gotten

00:30:42.460 some real great data.

00:30:44.700 A big shout out

00:30:45.520 to three people

00:30:46.200 that are working

00:30:47.080 against their agency's

00:30:49.420 deep states.

00:30:50.920 Tulsi Gabbard at DNI,

00:30:52.880 John Ratcliffe at CIA,

00:30:54.940 and Kash Patel at FBI.

00:30:56.700 They are literally

00:30:57.960 taking incoming fire every day,

00:31:00.380 but they've broken through.

00:31:02.100 They've done some really

00:31:03.120 jaw-dropping reviews

00:31:05.940 and they're now about to do

00:31:07.260 some really important

00:31:08.260 declassifications

00:31:09.100 and they're not popular

00:31:10.680 in their agencies right now,

00:31:12.280 but the American people

00:31:13.580 will be better off

00:31:14.460 when these revelations come out.

00:31:18.520 And,

00:31:18.880 and,

00:31:19.080 and,

00:31:19.360 this is what we mean

00:31:20.240 by the deep state.

00:31:21.400 Like I said,

00:31:22.140 when I was in the White House,

00:31:23.180 it ain't deep,

00:31:23.780 it ain't a deep state

00:31:24.580 when you're there.

00:31:25.200 They're up in your grill.

00:31:26.620 They're up in your fricking grill.

00:31:28.400 They are.

00:31:28.680 And they're so powerful.

00:31:30.040 People like even Biden,

00:31:31.400 they think presidents,

00:31:32.480 elected officials,

00:31:33.140 they're just passing through.

00:31:34.280 They're there permanently.

00:31:35.320 That's the permanent

00:31:36.020 American government.

00:31:37.020 Real quickly,

00:31:37.560 you said five phases

00:31:39.040 and you said Maricopa

00:31:40.960 was phase two.

00:31:41.900 Is that to imply

00:31:42.680 that that Fulton County

00:31:43.900 was phase one?

00:31:45.880 Yeah.

00:31:46.180 I think they're looking

00:31:47.060 at five epicenters

00:31:48.780 of voting irregularities.

00:31:50.340 I don't know

00:31:50.880 the other three yet.

00:31:51.600 I just know

00:31:52.040 there's a total of five

00:31:53.040 on the agenda

00:31:53.660 based on what people

00:31:54.660 have been told downstream.

00:31:56.180 You know,

00:31:56.300 the agents in the field

00:31:57.180 that are going to work on this,

00:31:58.460 the prosecutors

00:31:59.120 that are getting

00:31:59.640 grand jury subpoenas.

00:32:00.760 So it looks like

00:32:02.000 they'll be looking

00:32:02.640 at some other places.

00:32:03.980 If you look historically,

00:32:05.580 you clearly have some concerns

00:32:06.820 about what went on in Michigan.

00:32:08.180 All the work we did

00:32:08.980 last year in Michigan

00:32:09.800 on the state police

00:32:10.920 uncovering this voter mill

00:32:12.200 and no one in the FBI

00:32:13.600 ever going and investigated,

00:32:14.960 even though the Michigan

00:32:15.640 state police said,

00:32:16.400 hey, something bad

00:32:17.460 happened here.

00:32:18.020 I think I'd have to assume

00:32:18.980 Michigan might be

00:32:19.700 on the top of the list.

00:32:21.280 Wisconsin's always had

00:32:22.200 a lot of questions.

00:32:23.000 There was a famous video

00:32:24.400 by James O'Keefe

00:32:25.400 eight, ten years ago

00:32:26.560 of a guy admitting

00:32:27.340 that they would bus

00:32:28.480 an illegal aliens to vote.

00:32:29.880 Whether that's true or not,

00:32:30.800 I don't know.

00:32:31.320 But the video was clearly true.

00:32:33.540 You could see it

00:32:34.260 for your own self.

00:32:34.920 So I think Wisconsin

00:32:36.000 is a likely one.

00:32:36.980 But I don't know

00:32:37.680 the other three,

00:32:38.620 but I'm told that

00:32:39.420 there are five areas

00:32:40.500 that they're looking at,

00:32:41.440 five regions,

00:32:42.600 five localities

00:32:43.800 where election irregularities

00:32:45.200 have long been an issue.

00:32:46.740 I'm going to show,

00:32:47.260 I'm going to show,

00:32:47.820 I'm going to show,

00:32:48.600 yeah,

00:32:48.980 I'm going to show

00:32:49.320 another,

00:32:49.760 I'm going to just start

00:32:50.400 another random name,

00:32:51.780 Philadelphia and Pennsylvania,

00:32:53.000 but we'll leave that

00:32:53.580 for another day.

00:32:54.420 Oh, of course.

00:32:55.080 Absolutely.

00:32:56.560 The Congress,

00:32:58.960 this Congressional report,

00:33:00.160 Abe Homiday's been

00:33:00.940 all over this.

00:33:01.740 Do you have any idea?

00:33:04.140 You said you have it

00:33:05.280 when you will be able

00:33:05.980 to vet this

00:33:06.560 and put it out to people?

00:33:08.560 Yeah,

00:33:08.760 I've been vetting it

00:33:09.420 for a few weeks.

00:33:10.060 I got the document

00:33:10.920 in the last 24 hours,

00:33:12.500 but I've kind of known

00:33:13.360 what it says.

00:33:14.020 And like I said,

00:33:15.080 we had Brian Style

00:33:15.920 on talking about it.

00:33:16.880 I think we'll have it

00:33:18.000 in time for tomorrow

00:33:18.920 if everything goes well.

00:33:20.280 You just got to do

00:33:20.820 the reporting,

00:33:21.620 dot your I's,

00:33:22.180 cross your T's,

00:33:22.820 but a team of my reporters

00:33:23.880 and I are working

00:33:24.400 on it already

00:33:24.940 and I think we'll have it

00:33:26.340 out in the next 24,

00:33:27.320 48 hours.

00:33:28.120 It'll advance

00:33:28.700 and give you

00:33:29.340 a better understanding

00:33:30.160 of what alerted

00:33:32.120 the FBI

00:33:32.560 to this activity

00:33:33.620 that they just took

00:33:34.640 in Maricopa County.

00:33:37.240 Okay,

00:33:37.740 so everybody,

00:33:38.660 every Republican

00:33:40.300 establishment figure,

00:33:41.660 every,

00:33:42.000 the people there

00:33:43.700 that are all permanently,

00:33:44.720 you know,

00:33:46.340 drafting off the deep state.

00:33:49.040 Everybody's going to be

00:33:49.600 in President Trump's ear

00:33:50.560 that this is all nonsense.

00:33:52.180 This takes him away

00:33:53.080 from his mission.

00:33:53.780 He shouldn't do this.

00:33:54.600 What is your recommendation

00:33:55.600 to the president

00:33:56.700 of what we have to do

00:33:58.600 to drive this?

00:33:59.780 Because the resistance

00:34:00.540 in this, folks,

00:34:01.320 is going to be massive.

00:34:02.240 This is why we're

00:34:02.860 in March of 2026

00:34:04.040 and finally now

00:34:04.660 getting down to the,

00:34:06.180 to,

00:34:06.360 to,

00:34:06.660 you know,

00:34:07.200 some,

00:34:07.520 some real,

00:34:08.160 some real information

00:34:09.100 we can drive forward.

00:34:10.660 What's your recommendation

00:34:11.500 to the president

00:34:12.100 to make sure

00:34:12.540 we continue to drive forward

00:34:13.620 because the forces

00:34:14.780 arrayed against

00:34:16.380 any action here

00:34:17.620 are going to be

00:34:18.300 substantial, sir.

00:34:20.200 Yeah.

00:34:20.700 You know,

00:34:21.240 the president doesn't often

00:34:22.440 follow the conventions

00:34:24.120 of Washington.

00:34:25.000 He doesn't brief senators

00:34:26.080 on big stuff often

00:34:27.180 unless it's really important.

00:34:28.900 I think the data

00:34:30.400 that Tulsi Gabbard

00:34:31.440 and John Ratcliffe

00:34:32.720 and Kash Patel

00:34:33.580 have found

00:34:34.180 on foreign interference

00:34:35.300 in the election,

00:34:36.560 particularly foreign

00:34:37.840 interventions

00:34:38.600 in certain electronic systems,

00:34:41.300 by the way,

00:34:41.660 not the voting machines,

00:34:42.640 but other systems

00:34:44.080 that can be used

00:34:45.300 for mal-influence

00:34:46.580 and operations.

00:34:47.800 I think it's one

00:34:48.440 of those moments

00:34:49.000 that the president

00:34:49.600 spends some time

00:34:50.440 talking to senators

00:34:51.360 whose states

00:34:51.940 may have been targeted.

00:34:53.380 I think he can move

00:34:54.460 votes one by one

00:34:55.620 and you only have

00:34:57.000 to get to 51.

00:34:57.800 Once you get to 51,

00:34:58.920 we're at 49

00:34:59.460 in the Senate right now

00:35:00.740 in favor of

00:35:01.420 the Save America Act.

00:35:03.260 The president

00:35:03.620 every day talks about it,

00:35:04.980 every day on Truth.

00:35:05.840 He had an amazing post

00:35:06.840 overnight about it.

00:35:08.520 I think this is

00:35:09.260 one of those things

00:35:09.840 where, hey,

00:35:10.360 even if you don't agree

00:35:11.180 with the president,

00:35:11.740 you've been fighting with him,

00:35:12.840 do you really want

00:35:13.760 to find out

00:35:14.920 that your state

00:35:15.420 might have been

00:35:16.120 intruded upon

00:35:17.560 by a foreign power

00:35:18.520 and you didn't know

00:35:19.220 about it for five,

00:35:19.960 six years?

00:35:20.440 And when you look

00:35:21.420 at what the intrusion is,

00:35:22.440 it's pretty clear

00:35:23.040 what the foreign power

00:35:23.820 wants to have

00:35:24.400 the capability to do.

00:35:25.500 They want to do

00:35:26.120 ballot box stuffing.

00:35:27.580 What's the best way

00:35:28.420 to make sure

00:35:28.880 that ballot box stuffing,

00:35:29.960 which goes all the way

00:35:30.980 back to Tammany Hall

00:35:31.940 and Chicago-style politics,

00:35:35.360 voter ID and citizenship

00:35:36.720 really make it hard

00:35:38.120 to ballot box stuff?

00:35:39.080 And so I think

00:35:40.540 the president

00:35:40.960 has an opportunity

00:35:41.680 to go senator

00:35:42.340 by senator

00:35:42.900 and move that vote along.

00:35:44.360 There will be some Democrats

00:35:45.420 that will be deeply concerned

00:35:47.100 about what the intel community

00:35:48.400 has known.

00:35:49.260 By the way,

00:35:49.720 some of the people

00:35:50.320 who were most forthcoming

00:35:51.500 about this

00:35:52.020 were people

00:35:52.500 in the Biden administration

00:35:54.280 and the intelligence community

00:35:55.260 who said,

00:35:55.780 I can't believe

00:35:56.620 that the Trump people

00:35:57.520 didn't know about this.

00:35:58.640 We learned about it.

00:35:59.380 Of course,

00:35:59.580 they didn't say anything.

00:36:00.760 But the idea

00:36:01.620 that the Biden administration

00:36:02.620 knew of this

00:36:03.320 for four years

00:36:04.200 should concern us all.

00:36:08.720 John Solomon,

00:36:09.740 amazing.

00:36:10.680 Where do people

00:36:11.220 go to get the show,

00:36:12.580 the content,

00:36:13.200 your podcast,

00:36:14.220 the news site,

00:36:15.120 all of it?

00:36:16.280 Thanks, my friend.

00:36:17.120 Yeah, so

00:36:17.560 justthenews.com

00:36:19.100 is the website.

00:36:20.260 Jay Solomon reports

00:36:21.140 on all social media

00:36:22.040 and I'm lucky enough

00:36:22.780 to follow you

00:36:23.400 and the amazing

00:36:23.920 Eric Bolling

00:36:24.440 back-to-back

00:36:25.060 on Real America's Voice

00:36:26.720 six o'clock.

00:36:27.380 Just the news,

00:36:28.380 no noise.

00:36:30.880 Not a bad run there.

00:36:32.820 And then you got

00:36:33.580 Stinch on the other side.

00:36:34.820 Pretty good block

00:36:35.640 of programming

00:36:36.660 from some wild men.

00:36:38.200 So thank you, sir.

00:36:39.240 John Solomon.

00:36:41.280 Four o'clock,

00:36:42.040 Sarah Bolling.

00:36:42.700 Five o'clock,

00:36:43.240 the War Room.

00:36:43.860 Six o'clock,

00:36:44.440 John Solomon.

00:36:45.220 Seven o'clock,

00:36:46.020 Grant Stinchfield.

00:36:47.960 Wow.

00:36:48.740 Gruber before that.

00:36:50.040 Poso before that.

00:36:51.060 Charlie Kirk before that.

00:36:52.040 And then back to War Room.

00:36:52.800 Pretty good block

00:36:53.380 of programming.

00:36:54.720 John Solomon,

00:36:55.320 thank you, sir.

00:36:56.000 Eric Bolling.

00:36:58.540 I'm going to play

00:36:59.340 a clip after the break

00:37:00.720 because I've got

00:37:01.060 to hold you through.

00:37:01.940 But

00:37:01.960 just give your bona fides

00:37:05.000 to the audience again

00:37:06.640 about your expertise

00:37:07.540 in this particular area.

00:37:09.280 How have you

00:37:09.700 for 12 years

00:37:10.740 put your own capital

00:37:11.740 to work

00:37:12.220 against the best

00:37:13.400 and the biggest

00:37:14.480 around

00:37:15.580 and why that makes you

00:37:16.840 an amazing window

00:37:19.120 in which to see

00:37:20.800 this

00:37:21.180 not just war

00:37:23.260 but massive

00:37:24.740 geopolitical

00:37:25.700 potential realignment

00:37:26.840 in the world's

00:37:27.760 energy markets

00:37:28.540 and therefore

00:37:29.100 the world's economy,

00:37:30.340 sir.

00:37:30.520 Thank you, Steve.

00:37:33.240 35 years of trading,

00:37:34.700 12 on the trading floor

00:37:36.020 where I literally

00:37:36.820 go there every single day,

00:37:38.180 my own money on the line

00:37:39.260 and I trade against

00:37:39.940 the big boys,

00:37:40.600 Saudi Aramco,

00:37:41.680 all of them,

00:37:43.220 Shell,

00:37:43.900 ExxonMobil,

00:37:44.820 the investment banks

00:37:45.640 on Wall Street,

00:37:46.460 the private equity guys

00:37:48.100 and I just

00:37:49.060 hand-to-hand

00:37:50.080 combat every single day

00:37:51.100 with these folks

00:37:51.620 and Steve,

00:37:52.000 I've traded through

00:37:52.840 conflicts,

00:37:53.840 I've traded through

00:37:54.420 Gulf Wars,

00:37:55.140 I've traded through

00:37:55.760 things,

00:37:56.680 I've seen this

00:37:57.500 so many times before

00:37:58.600 and the reason

00:37:59.340 why I was talking

00:38:00.280 to you late last night

00:38:01.560 and into the morning

00:38:02.360 was because I'm seeing

00:38:03.860 the people who are

00:38:04.680 advising the president

00:38:05.860 and the people

00:38:06.760 who are talking

00:38:07.280 on CNBC and others,

00:38:08.840 they're missing

00:38:09.400 the whole point

00:38:10.420 right here,

00:38:10.820 right now

00:38:11.140 and my concern

00:38:11.760 is that

00:38:12.720 we're going to

00:38:13.460 drive prices,

00:38:14.800 oil prices are up

00:38:15.720 $103 a barrel

00:38:17.100 right now,

00:38:17.560 it was $120 a barrel

00:38:19.200 at midnight last night,

00:38:20.900 backed off a little bit,

00:38:22.040 it doesn't need to be here.

00:38:23.080 But hang on,

00:38:23.580 the first trade,

00:38:24.400 when you contacted me,

00:38:26.220 well hang on,

00:38:26.680 the first time you contacted,

00:38:28.140 we talked yesterday

00:38:28.940 after the attack

00:38:31.440 when we were talking

00:38:31.920 about the attack

00:38:32.500 in the next block,

00:38:33.760 the first trade

00:38:34.660 was $19 up,

00:38:37.280 right,

00:38:37.460 it took it up

00:38:38.180 to over $109

00:38:39.960 I think,

00:38:41.680 the very first trade,

00:38:42.480 this thing exploded

00:38:43.400 right out of the box.

00:38:44.780 And they jacked it up

00:38:45.440 to almost $119.48

00:38:47.080 is the actual high,

00:38:48.740 doesn't need to be here,

00:38:50.160 we have their ways,

00:38:50.840 I have a solution

00:38:51.760 for you Steve,

00:38:52.440 we'll hold it off,

00:38:53.280 but it will guarantee

00:38:55.060 we never get ourselves

00:38:56.640 into this ever again.

00:38:58.480 It's a full proof,

00:38:59.920 no one's ever said it before,

00:39:01.820 this is unique

00:39:02.700 for the war room folks

00:39:03.860 because if Trump gets it

00:39:05.860 and understands it,

00:39:07.080 he has so much leverage

00:39:08.320 right now,

00:39:08.720 he can pull this off

00:39:09.540 and we will never be talking

00:39:10.600 about another $100 barrel

00:39:11.820 of oil,

00:39:13.100 certainly in our lifetime.

00:39:14.380 But we can do it too.

00:39:16.080 So everybody's running around,

00:39:18.220 the G7's running around,

00:39:19.320 they all want to start tapping

00:39:20.400 strategic petroleum reserves,

00:39:22.560 the G7 met earlier today.

00:39:24.940 What exactly is going on?

00:39:26.820 You're saying,

00:39:27.520 hey,

00:39:27.680 we don't have a,

00:39:28.580 everybody's running around

00:39:30.200 saying we have a problem

00:39:31.020 about this.

00:39:31.740 Eric Bolling's saying

00:39:32.500 we actually don't have

00:39:33.860 a problem with this,

00:39:34.660 we got a problem with that.

00:39:35.820 So walk through

00:39:36.560 the Eric Bolling theory

00:39:37.720 of the case.

00:39:38.140 We do not have

00:39:40.120 a supply problem.

00:39:41.200 We have a dislocation issue

00:39:42.680 and frankly,

00:39:43.360 we don't,

00:39:44.140 United States of America

00:39:45.160 doesn't have that.

00:39:46.300 So these SPR,

00:39:47.880 strategic petroleum releases,

00:39:50.260 Obama did one in 2009,

00:39:52.220 it didn't work.

00:39:53.080 I believe Clinton did one

00:39:54.320 as well,

00:39:54.780 it didn't work.

00:39:55.680 Biden did one in 2022,

00:39:57.900 I want to say,

00:39:58.900 when inflation was 9%,

00:40:00.340 it didn't work.

00:40:01.960 The SPR is a very short term,

00:40:05.680 more of a news hook

00:40:07.680 than an actual supply,

00:40:10.020 resupplying any of our refineries.

00:40:11.840 We don't have an issue

00:40:12.920 supplying our refineries

00:40:14.320 to produce gasoline.

00:40:15.800 We have an issue

00:40:16.500 of global networks

00:40:18.280 looking like everyone

00:40:20.040 needs to be on the same page

00:40:21.420 with price.

00:40:22.040 We don't.

00:40:23.160 Steve,

00:40:23.720 we use about 20 million barrels

00:40:25.040 a day in this country.

00:40:26.420 We produce about 13 million

00:40:27.860 barrels a day.

00:40:28.880 There's a very,

00:40:29.520 very easy solution

00:40:30.320 to get the other

00:40:30.940 7 million barrels.

00:40:32.420 Not just by drilling,

00:40:33.680 I have a solution for you,

00:40:34.640 but this idea

00:40:35.540 that we're going to

00:40:36.300 drain an SPR,

00:40:37.580 it's 720 million barrels

00:40:39.860 at its peak.

00:40:41.280 Right now,

00:40:41.620 there's only 415

00:40:42.560 because of what

00:40:43.680 Obama and Biden did.

00:40:45.040 They never replenished it.

00:40:46.800 Oil went down

00:40:47.520 and they just

00:40:48.100 never replenished it.

00:40:49.100 So we're at risk

00:40:50.280 when you delete your SPR

00:40:51.880 from real supply disruptions,

00:40:54.040 massive earthquakes

00:40:55.780 or something

00:40:56.320 where we can't produce

00:40:57.220 our own oil.

00:40:58.000 Those are the reasons

00:40:58.740 for the SPR.

00:40:59.540 not to tell the world

00:41:01.600 we're going to release

00:41:02.340 some oil whether here

00:41:03.380 or internationally

00:41:04.280 like that's going

00:41:05.200 to do anything.

00:41:06.120 Right now,

00:41:06.600 there's a glut of oil.

00:41:07.680 Right now,

00:41:08.100 the issue isn't producing oil.

00:41:10.380 It's building up so fast.

00:41:11.940 There's no more storage,

00:41:13.360 but prices are going up

00:41:14.320 because of these

00:41:14.800 talking heads on TV.

00:41:16.540 My concern is,

00:41:17.660 Steve,

00:41:17.900 is that the folks

00:41:18.660 who are advising

00:41:19.180 the president

00:41:19.780 have never really traded

00:41:21.340 through these conflicts

00:41:22.180 before,

00:41:22.880 and they don't know

00:41:23.700 what's on the backside

00:41:24.440 of it.

00:41:24.840 I do.

00:41:25.160 I've done it many times.

00:41:28.600 Hang on.

00:41:30.100 You've got the storage problem

00:41:31.820 now because you're not

00:41:33.420 getting the relief valve

00:41:34.900 of tankers going through

00:41:36.300 the streets of Hormuz.

00:41:37.340 What the president's

00:41:37.940 talking about

00:41:38.360 is putting up

00:41:38.980 some reinsurance money,

00:41:40.640 which the $20 billion,

00:41:41.720 I think,

00:41:42.040 is a fraction

00:41:42.580 of what the reality is.

00:41:43.660 It's $100 billion north.

00:41:45.040 Plus,

00:41:45.440 you have to break off

00:41:48.480 the Navy.

00:41:48.880 Can we just talk about

00:41:50.320 that for one second?

00:41:51.920 Go ahead.

00:41:52.480 Go ahead.

00:41:53.220 You're the expert.

00:41:54.140 I'm just a guy in the...

00:41:55.340 Go ahead.

00:41:56.560 You're Saudi Arab.

00:41:57.400 You're a Saudi

00:41:57.940 or you're a shipping company.

00:42:00.220 $20 billion.

00:42:01.140 You're not going to risk

00:42:02.200 400 or 500 crew members' lives

00:42:04.300 and a shipment of crude oil

00:42:05.740 for an insurance fund

00:42:08.040 that totally has

00:42:09.480 $20 billion in it.

00:42:11.220 I don't think you need it

00:42:12.380 at all, frankly,

00:42:13.260 but if you're going to do that

00:42:14.420 and somehow insure,

00:42:15.840 tell that captain,

00:42:17.140 go ahead,

00:42:17.440 risk all your lives.

00:42:19.600 Don't worry.

00:42:20.420 We'll pay you off

00:42:21.520 a million dollars or whatever.

00:42:23.440 No one's going to really do it,

00:42:24.780 but if you want to do it,

00:42:25.860 make it legit.

00:42:26.840 Make it $300 billion,

00:42:29.200 not $20 billion.

00:42:30.140 I mean,

00:42:30.300 you could blow through

00:42:31.100 $20 billion

00:42:31.660 if they line the Gulf

00:42:34.200 and three or four tankers explode.

00:42:36.900 I mean,

00:42:37.500 it's not the solution either.

00:42:39.260 It's really not the solution.

00:42:40.100 There's a very,

00:42:40.700 very simple solution.

00:42:41.900 I wouldn't call it simple,

00:42:42.860 but with the leverage

00:42:43.880 that Trump has developed,

00:42:45.900 there's a win in here.

00:42:47.180 There's a big win in here.

00:42:48.200 When you talk about

00:42:50.860 the leverage Trump's developed

00:42:52.000 before we go to break,

00:42:52.900 we've got about 30 seconds.

00:42:53.780 It's your turn

00:42:54.120 because now we've got

00:42:55.100 Venezuela,

00:42:55.920 Guana.

00:42:57.080 You've got,

00:42:57.820 just in the Western Hemisphere

00:42:58.960 with hemispheric defense,

00:43:00.760 we now have 10x

00:43:01.880 what the Persian Gulf has.

00:43:03.180 Is that the leverage?

00:43:05.560 Well,

00:43:06.040 you do,

00:43:07.120 but that is part of the leverage.

00:43:09.260 Are you on now?

00:43:10.060 I'll do it to you now

00:43:10.640 or after the break of your call?

00:43:11.760 No,

00:43:11.880 no,

00:43:12.020 no,

00:43:12.220 no,

00:43:12.360 no.

00:43:12.520 Hang on,

00:43:12.960 hang on,

00:43:13.320 hang on,

00:43:13.660 hang on,

00:43:14.200 hang on.

00:43:14.800 I rolled Eric Bolling

00:43:15.920 out of the rack

00:43:16.460 early this morning

00:43:17.180 to get the answer,

00:43:18.120 so we're going to take

00:43:18.740 a short commercial break.

00:43:20.220 I really appreciate

00:43:20.960 you doing this.

00:43:21.620 I love experts.

00:43:23.560 In the pits,

00:43:25.200 as only Bolling can be.

00:43:27.040 We're going to take

00:43:27.660 a short commercial break.

00:43:28.840 This all came about

00:43:29.940 because of Saturday night.

00:43:32.120 That's why I'm so appreciative

00:43:33.060 of Real America's Voice,

00:43:34.420 the crew in Denver,

00:43:35.340 Robin Parker-Sig,

00:43:36.260 our own team here

00:43:37.100 at the War Room

00:43:37.520 do the Sunday show.

00:43:38.480 We went to a bunch

00:43:39.420 of the battle assessment

00:43:41.360 yesterday.

00:43:42.240 We're going to hit on that.

00:43:43.760 Eric Bolling's going to

00:43:44.480 talk to us about

00:43:45.140 President Trump's

00:43:45.820 leverage in a solution

00:43:46.900 next in the War Room.

00:43:50.080 If you could make

00:43:50.880 one holiday wish,

00:43:52.440 would you wish to be free

00:43:53.580 from your credit card

00:43:54.480 and other debt?

00:43:56.180 Let's see if we can

00:43:57.140 help you with that.

00:43:58.720 If we could give yourself

00:44:00.180 one gift this holiday season,

00:44:02.320 would it be finally

00:44:03.080 to get some relief

00:44:03.840 from your credit card

00:44:04.680 and other debt?

00:44:05.720 I might have a solution.

00:44:07.940 Here's why now

00:44:08.940 is the time to make a move.

00:44:10.840 This time of year,

00:44:11.760 credit card and loan companies

00:44:13.060 close out their books

00:44:14.160 they clean up

00:44:15.540 past due accounts.

00:44:17.500 They sell a write

00:44:18.600 off the debt

00:44:19.140 to clear their books.

00:44:20.740 That means if you have

00:44:21.940 credit card debt

00:44:22.760 and unpaid bills,

00:44:24.240 lenders may be more

00:44:25.320 open to negotiating

00:44:26.320 and settling your account

00:44:27.600 before you're in.

00:44:29.460 That means right now,

00:44:30.720 and I mean right now,

00:44:32.540 you may actually

00:44:33.480 have leverage.

00:44:35.300 And done with debt,

00:44:36.620 knows how to use this

00:44:37.660 to your advantage.

00:44:38.900 They monitor lender trends

00:44:40.460 and understand the year-end

00:44:41.740 pressure on creditors.

00:44:42.940 They use that timing

00:44:44.860 to negotiate hard

00:44:46.120 on your behalf.

00:44:48.000 Now's the time

00:44:48.660 to get out from

00:44:49.320 under crushing debt

00:44:50.380 and interest payments

00:44:51.240 without bankruptcy

00:44:52.600 or taking on new loans.

00:44:55.520 Done with debt

00:44:56.120 goes to work for you

00:44:57.820 month one

00:44:58.880 with one clear goal,

00:45:00.660 to reduce your total debt

00:45:02.060 and leave you with

00:45:03.240 more money every month.

00:45:05.320 Get started now

00:45:06.380 because your leverage

00:45:08.320 may disappear

00:45:09.400 at the end of the year.

00:46:55.060 amazing,

00:46:56.360 of these briefings

00:46:58.100 he's giving people

00:47:05.260 all that.

00:47:06.340 Joe on also

00:47:07.080 this afternoon

00:47:07.580 or tomorrow.

00:47:08.880 Very packed

00:47:09.760 with all the information.

00:47:10.960 I want to play something.

00:47:12.920 We're having this discussion

00:47:14.460 because of,

00:47:15.440 obviously,

00:47:15.880 this war.

00:47:16.980 As we told you

00:47:17.860 the other day,

00:47:18.240 the center of gravity

00:47:18.940 of the war

00:47:19.360 to me has been,

00:47:21.220 really,

00:47:21.640 the interesting thing

00:47:22.180 has been the Gulf Emirates

00:47:23.400 and the Persians

00:47:24.640 versus the Arabs,

00:47:25.700 the Shiites

00:47:26.360 versus the Sunnis,

00:47:27.520 the Muslim

00:47:28.700 on Muslim,

00:47:29.440 but something

00:47:31.680 happened Saturday night

00:47:32.960 that's very disturbing.

00:47:35.520 You know,

00:47:35.640 you've got Lindsey Graham

00:47:36.380 and all these guys

00:47:36.940 running around,

00:47:37.520 the world's greatest ally.

00:47:39.500 Let's not want to play

00:47:40.260 Dan Senior.

00:47:41.160 Dan Senior is a guy

00:47:42.020 from the Bush administration,

00:47:43.320 one of their hacks,

00:47:44.840 went over to Iraq.

00:47:46.440 Also,

00:47:46.980 I don't want to say

00:47:47.460 an agent of influence

00:47:48.720 for the Israeli government

00:47:50.320 but extremely close

00:47:52.700 in a mouthpiece.

00:47:53.620 Let's hear him yesterday

00:47:54.540 on CNN

00:47:55.020 and then we'll talk

00:47:55.780 about what happened

00:47:56.380 Saturday night.

00:47:56.920 Yeah,

00:47:57.960 it is quite striking

00:47:59.920 to see

00:48:00.680 what a blow

00:48:01.640 this has been

00:48:02.340 to whatever plan

00:48:03.100 Iran had

00:48:03.880 in thinking

00:48:04.700 that they could attack

00:48:05.620 the Gulf countries

00:48:06.540 and have the Gulf countries

00:48:07.660 put pressure on Israel

00:48:09.240 and the United States

00:48:10.200 to stop thus far.

00:48:11.480 That hasn't happened

00:48:12.400 and it was quite striking

00:48:14.060 to see MBZ

00:48:15.340 walking through the balls

00:48:16.440 there in the UAE

00:48:18.260 to show a force

00:48:19.720 of defiance there

00:48:20.760 that the country

00:48:21.420 is still standing.

00:48:22.860 And,

00:48:23.060 and,

00:48:23.920 it's also,

00:48:24.820 it's also a moving

00:48:26.140 and impressive

00:48:26.800 to see now

00:48:27.620 the IDF

00:48:28.180 chief of staff

00:48:28.860 in regular

00:48:29.640 almost daily communication

00:48:31.220 with his counterparts

00:48:32.260 at the heads

00:48:33.400 of these militaries

00:48:34.420 of these Arab countries.

00:48:35.820 This is what,

00:48:36.160 this is what Nadav

00:48:36.800 and I mean

00:48:37.140 when we're watching

00:48:38.080 a region be transformed.

00:48:39.520 Just that,

00:48:40.420 that all these Arab states

00:48:41.300 in Israel

00:48:41.660 are fighting a war

00:48:42.560 on the same side.

00:48:45.300 Okay.

00:48:46.220 That's not the clip

00:48:47.120 I wanted

00:48:47.520 but I will get

00:48:48.100 the clip I wanted.

00:48:48.900 So yesterday,

00:48:49.520 Dan Senior

00:48:50.160 in another show

00:48:51.500 on CNN

00:48:51.980 said

00:48:53.700 when the host

00:48:54.380 asked him

00:48:54.980 about the

00:48:56.080 United States

00:48:57.120 and Israel

00:48:57.440 working together

00:48:58.160 he had never

00:48:58.760 seen such integration

00:48:59.860 he had never seen

00:49:00.760 it was all one.

00:49:02.640 We have,

00:49:03.020 they have people

00:49:03.500 in our command center

00:49:04.400 we have people

00:49:04.940 in their command center

00:49:05.840 that the airstrikes

00:49:06.880 the coordination

00:49:07.520 of the airstrikes

00:49:08.340 the missile strikes

00:49:09.900 all of it

00:49:10.460 was something

00:49:11.100 he had never seen

00:49:11.820 before

00:49:12.220 of two militaries

00:49:14.380 working together.

00:49:16.200 Then Axios

00:49:17.140 and people should

00:49:17.800 understand

00:49:18.180 Axios basically

00:49:19.240 gets leaks

00:49:19.860 from the White House

00:49:20.560 all the time.

00:49:21.000 They ain't giving

00:49:21.420 them to Breitbart

00:49:22.080 and they're not

00:49:22.700 giving them

00:49:23.100 to Citizens Free Press

00:49:24.440 and they're not

00:49:24.980 giving them

00:49:25.340 to Gateway Pundit.

00:49:26.620 Not the big ones.

00:49:27.780 They always give

00:49:28.420 them to Axios.

00:49:29.240 You can see Axios

00:49:30.380 and they say

00:49:31.140 from senior

00:49:31.620 White House officials.

00:49:33.040 They're also

00:49:33.680 very close.

00:49:34.960 They're members

00:49:35.580 of the Axios team

00:49:36.460 that are very close

00:49:37.740 to the senior levels

00:49:39.500 of the Israeli government

00:49:40.520 and the IDF.

00:49:41.700 And so that's

00:49:42.140 why they had

00:49:42.520 this article

00:49:43.160 yesterday about

00:49:44.640 President Trump

00:49:46.120 and the military

00:49:47.400 were shocked

00:49:49.040 and stunned

00:49:50.120 I think the word

00:49:53.120 they used

00:49:53.480 was dismayed

00:49:54.480 at the strike

00:49:56.340 on Saturday night.

00:49:57.400 The strike

00:49:57.800 on Saturday night

00:49:58.460 is going to be

00:49:59.120 an inflection point

00:49:59.940 because the Israeli

00:50:02.940 Air Force

00:50:03.660 went after

00:50:04.740 the oil

00:50:07.900 infrastructure

00:50:09.480 in Tehran.

00:50:10.560 I think mainly

00:50:11.460 storage facilities,

00:50:12.900 maybe some

00:50:13.300 refinery capacity.

00:50:14.980 This was the fireball

00:50:16.460 that was created

00:50:17.100 Saturday night

00:50:17.760 in Tehran.

00:50:19.440 And later,

00:50:21.300 first off,

00:50:21.780 it made no sense

00:50:22.660 strategically.

00:50:23.300 If you see

00:50:24.260 what President Trump

00:50:25.240 and his team

00:50:25.780 is trying to accomplish,

00:50:26.980 the last thing

00:50:28.520 we want to do,

00:50:29.620 in fact,

00:50:30.120 what they're trying

00:50:30.660 to do

00:50:30.920 and tone down

00:50:31.780 this effort

00:50:32.880 in striking

00:50:34.020 the Gulf

00:50:35.360 is to stop

00:50:36.760 any attacks

00:50:37.500 on the desalination

00:50:38.560 facilities

00:50:39.360 so they got water

00:50:40.400 but also make sure

00:50:41.600 that there's no hits

00:50:42.580 on their oil

00:50:43.920 infrastructure

00:50:44.480 which will send

00:50:45.580 all markets

00:50:46.700 in turmoil

00:50:47.460 as they have.

00:50:49.080 The Saturday night strike

00:50:50.220 and this is what's

00:50:50.800 so shocking

00:50:51.400 with Dan Seniors

00:50:53.140 basically telling us

00:50:57.860 how the Joint Command

00:50:58.820 works,

00:50:59.760 it's impossible.

00:51:03.220 Impossible.

00:51:04.160 And I'm talking

00:51:04.760 to people behind

00:51:05.400 the scenes.

00:51:05.960 It's impossible

00:51:06.880 for that to have

00:51:08.620 happened

00:51:09.040 unless folks

00:51:11.080 were misled.

00:51:12.260 The Joint,

00:51:12.700 and you see this

00:51:13.440 from Fennell,

00:51:14.420 this targeting operation

00:51:15.820 is at the most

00:51:16.780 sophisticated level

00:51:17.840 about exactly

00:51:18.720 what we're degrading.

00:51:20.400 It is a very

00:51:21.160 methodical,

00:51:22.100 it's what the Air Force

00:51:23.200 and the United States Navy

00:51:24.420 do for a living.

00:51:26.500 This is game day.

00:51:28.600 They don't make mistakes.

00:51:31.140 You may have something

00:51:32.100 go offline,

00:51:33.660 there's this issue

00:51:34.400 about the striking

00:51:35.120 the girls school

00:51:35.840 that's on a military base.

00:51:37.080 Yes, those things happen

00:51:38.120 in war.

00:51:39.800 But the process

00:51:41.340 is bulletproof

00:51:43.440 because they practice

00:51:44.420 over and over

00:51:46.000 and over again.

00:51:47.360 This is what they do.

00:51:48.780 To understand

00:51:49.680 that we had

00:51:50.720 something on Saturday night

00:51:52.760 that was totally

00:51:53.640 outside

00:51:54.340 of the operating

00:51:55.900 scenario

00:51:58.200 of the American military

00:52:00.080 or the strategic direction

00:52:02.020 of President Trump.

00:52:03.040 Axios reported

00:52:03.760 that President Trump

00:52:04.380 was very upset

00:52:04.960 and they were going

00:52:05.540 to deal with

00:52:06.020 the highest levels

00:52:06.760 of the Israeli government

00:52:07.820 to make sure

00:52:08.980 everybody got

00:52:10.300 on the same page.

00:52:12.720 This is so dangerous

00:52:15.200 and it shows you

00:52:16.540 what Sam Faddis

00:52:18.380 was talking about yesterday.

00:52:20.200 You're in an alliance

00:52:21.360 but what are the objectives

00:52:23.080 of the two entities?

00:52:24.900 I would say

00:52:26.160 that the American government,

00:52:29.360 the American people's

00:52:30.360 strategic objective here

00:52:31.780 is quite different

00:52:32.920 than the Israelis.

00:52:34.800 and you even had

00:52:35.960 Lindsey Graham

00:52:37.380 came out

00:52:37.920 on a tweet

00:52:38.740 with a cleanup

00:52:41.040 aisle three

00:52:41.980 saying,

00:52:43.740 oh,

00:52:43.940 we got to understand

00:52:44.720 take the big picture here.

00:52:45.940 We can't make

00:52:46.420 these mistakes.

00:52:47.960 Saturday night

00:52:48.800 was a major

00:52:50.380 inflection point.

00:52:51.540 Understand it.

00:52:53.480 Somebody

00:52:54.040 in the Israeli military

00:52:56.140 and government

00:52:56.880 made a decision

00:52:57.940 that they were going

00:52:58.600 to do it their way

00:52:59.580 and not in conjunction

00:53:01.520 with the United States

00:53:03.200 of America.

00:53:04.380 Full stop.

00:53:06.080 Short break.

00:53:06.980 Eric Boling

00:53:07.460 on the other side.

00:53:09.480 You know,

00:53:10.520 you still need help

00:53:11.560 from the boss.

00:53:14.420 We need help

00:53:15.360 from the boss.

00:53:16.140 Do you owe back taxes

00:53:22.800 or you haven't filed

00:53:24.080 your taxes in years?

00:53:25.900 Now is the time

00:53:26.980 to resolve

00:53:27.580 your tax matters.

00:53:29.160 With the national

00:53:30.340 conversation around

00:53:31.520 abolishing the income tax,

00:53:33.900 the IRS is fighting back

00:53:35.320 and proving

00:53:35.820 it's here to stay

00:53:37.000 by becoming

00:53:37.940 more aggressive

00:53:38.860 than ever before.

00:53:40.380 They're sending out

00:53:41.140 more collection notices,

00:53:42.960 filing more tax liens,

00:53:44.420 and collecting billions

00:53:45.780 more in recent years.

00:53:47.960 If you owe,

00:53:49.260 the IRS

00:53:49.740 can garnish

00:53:50.780 your wages,

00:53:51.920 levy your bank accounts,

00:53:53.640 seize your retirement

00:53:54.820 and even your home.

00:53:56.580 If you owe

00:53:57.640 or haven't filed,

00:53:58.680 it's not a question

00:53:59.560 of if the IRS

00:54:00.980 will act,

00:54:02.100 it's a question

00:54:02.840 of when it will act.
