Bannon's War Room - Episode 5201： The Lies Of John Cornyn

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

00:00:07.000 Pray for our enemies.

00:00:09.000 Because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:12.000 You've just not got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:16.000 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:18.000 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:20.000 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:00:22.000 but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

00:00:24.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:27.000 MAGA Media.

00:00:29.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:34.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:38.000 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:44.000 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:00:48.000 It's Monday, 9 March, Year Overlord, 2026.

00:00:57.000 As I said from the movie 12 O'Clock High, hey, we're in a shooting war now.

00:01:03.000 You've got to win this thing.

00:01:04.000 Whether you like how we got here or you don't like how we got here.

00:01:07.000 And I'm not crazy about how we got here, but you've got people in harm's way.

00:01:11.000 In fact, we had another KIA announced last night.

00:01:14.000 Now, to be brutally frank, I don't remember.

00:01:18.000 And we followed this pretty closely.

00:01:20.000 It was announced they got killed from injuries on March 1st, sustained in Saudi Arabia on an attack on American military.

00:01:29.000 I don't quite remember that being reported on one March.

00:01:32.000 And I realize you have OPSEC.

00:01:34.000 You definitely have OPSEC.

00:01:36.000 But if you want to build support and build real support that's going to last more than 24 hours.

00:01:43.000 But I mean, really build support for your endeavor.

00:01:46.000 There's just got to be a different messaging.

00:01:48.000 There's got to be a different information.

00:01:49.000 I keep saying CENTCOM has got to get more like Norman Schwarzkopf in explaining and giving the big picture of what we're trying to accomplish here.

00:01:58.000 And let me be specific about that.

00:02:00.000 And, you know, I think the world of Pete Hexas, we nobody fought for Pete Hexas confirmation more than this audience in this show.

00:02:08.000 When they were about to trade Pete Hexas out for Ron DeSantis, we had Pete Hexas back.

00:02:12.000 And then we had Pete Hexas back to get to 50 votes, which then Vice President Vance had to put in the 51 to get him confirmed.

00:02:20.000 That being said, the 60 Minutes interview last night, you just can't sit there and go shine us on of that imminent threat.

00:02:27.000 Oh, yeah, it was not imminent threat.

00:02:29.000 No, it doesn't work like that.

00:02:31.000 The people in the messaging department over there got to get serious about this.

00:02:34.000 And this whole thing, short term pain for long term gain.

00:02:36.000 Yo, the American people are not known for taking short term pain when it comes to economics, particularly oil and gas.

00:02:45.000 So I'm saying the messaging has to has to conform with the military strategy without giving away the secrets.

00:02:53.000 President Trump, as I keep saying, wants optionality and wants a range of alternatives and never box him in.

00:02:58.000 Because he's a disruptor and he can pivot hard.

00:03:01.000 But you're going to start losing people.

00:03:04.000 If there's not consistency.

00:03:07.000 And last night on 60 Minutes, just to kind of shine on imminent threat.

00:03:10.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:03:13.000 Incorrect, sir.

00:03:14.000 Incorrect.

00:03:15.000 Mr. Pete Hexas.

00:03:16.000 It was imminent threat.

00:03:17.000 And I'd like to know about that imminent threat because I think you showed last night, I think there was not an imminent threat.

00:03:23.000 And now we're in it.

00:03:24.000 Now we're in it.

00:03:28.000 Bowling.

00:03:29.000 And, you know, this thing is going to explode.

00:03:32.000 So tell me once again why people are misinterpreting what's happening on on the oil and gas situation when right now it looks like Kuwait got hit.

00:03:43.000 Uh, there's been a barrage as we've come on the air.

00:03:46.000 I think there's been a barrage. 0.92

00:03:47.000 Uh, Rabbi will lick. 0.88

00:03:48.000 He told me there's been a barrage into Israel of, of missiles from these guys. 0.63

00:03:53.000 And they proved yesterday.

00:03:54.000 And, and, and I think the sun's already been hit already.

00:03:58.000 These guys are the hardcore.

00:04:00.000 First of all, they're Persians. 1.00

00:04:02.000 So they got an attitude to start with.

00:04:04.000 Right.

00:04:05.000 And then you layer on top of, you know, you take this rasterism off and you layer on top of this radical form of Islam, which is martyr based.

00:04:13.000 Uh, they're digging in and look, you can dig them out.

00:04:15.000 You got the greatest military in the world.

00:04:17.000 They can deliver a punch.

00:04:18.000 Hey, and the Israel Israelis punch way above their way to, but bowling, walk me through the situation with oil and gas. 0.99

00:04:24.000 You're saying it's being totally misinterpreted and you've got president Trump has massive leverage.

00:04:28.000 And if we use that leverage, we're going to see sunlit uplands.

00:04:32.000 So today's the day I need a sun.

00:04:35.000 I need to be able to see a sunlit upland.

00:04:37.000 So that's why we dragged a lot to do this.

00:04:40.000 What do you got?

00:04:41.000 If I may just start this off with, you know, one of the things that you probably don't like about me, although I think it goes hand in hand.

00:04:47.000 I believe America first.

00:04:48.000 I believe Steve Bannon developed America first.

00:04:51.000 I'm a libertarian.

00:04:52.000 So I hate foreign conflicts to start off.

00:04:54.000 However, we're sitting right now to four.

00:04:57.000 We're going to be in $4 gasoline territory within a week or so, no matter what happens down on the road.

00:05:02.000 If it stays, oil stays above $100 a barrel, we're going to hit $5 a barrel.

00:05:06.000 That's bad for the economy.

00:05:07.000 Worse for the economy is the diesel number.

00:05:09.000 $5 a gallon.

00:05:11.000 Hang on.

00:05:12.000 Five, five, five.

00:05:13.000 Hang on.

00:05:14.000 $5 a gallon.

00:05:15.000 You're saying if it stays above $100 for a week, you're going to have $5 gasoline.

00:05:18.000 Okay.

00:05:19.000 What about, but what about diesel?

00:05:20.000 You're going to have $5 nationally.

00:05:21.000 The country runs on diesel.

00:05:23.000 Yeah.

00:05:24.000 What about diesel?

00:05:25.000 What's going to happen with diesel?

00:05:26.000 Every single product, every product in the world really has a diesel component to it.

00:05:31.000 Right now, diesel's $4.50.

00:05:33.000 Truckers are getting painted the pump.

00:05:35.000 It's going to be $5.00.

00:05:36.000 It's going to be $6.00.

00:05:37.000 No matter how fast this conflict concludes, that's real.

00:05:43.000 The economy is going to...

00:05:46.000 Jet fuel jumped 140% three days ago, and it's not even including the $100 barrel oil right now.

00:05:52.000 So everything we do to transport food, products, everything will get more expensive.

00:05:58.000 That's inflationary.

00:05:59.000 The economy is at risk.

00:06:00.000 The economy is at risk.

00:06:01.000 So the libertarian enemy says, well, what do we do about that?

00:06:04.000 Steve, here's the solution.

00:06:06.000 Now, Trump has developed a lot of influence.

00:06:09.000 He's got a lot of cards to play.

00:06:11.000 He's got a lot of Trump cards to play, Venezuela and Iran right now specifically.

00:06:15.000 Venezuela has the ability to produce, and they used to produce 3 million barrels a day.

00:06:19.000 Right now they're one because of all the corruption over the last 20 years.

00:06:23.000 Iran has the ability to produce 7 million barrels a day.

00:06:27.000 They're producing 3 because of the sanctions and whatnot.

00:06:30.000 There's a very, very smart solution, but it takes guts. 0.57

00:06:34.000 It takes cojones, and you've got to go in there. 0.97

00:06:36.000 And Trump's the only guy that can get this done. 0.96

00:06:38.000 I would love to help him do it.

00:06:39.000 I know he can do it.

00:06:40.000 There are public-private partnerships right now in petroleum.

00:06:44.000 Saudi Aramco is mostly owned by the Saudi government, but partially owned by the public.

00:06:49.000 PetroChina, Petrobras, Brazil, Gazprom in Russia, public-private partnerships.

00:06:56.000 You have Venezuela, and you have Iran on their knees right now. 0.99

00:07:00.000 Put your foot on their neck like you are, and then say, I'll tell you what.

00:07:04.000 The American boot comes off your neck the minute you sign a relationship with the United States

00:07:11.000 where our oil companies achieve you.

00:07:14.000 We get your additional production that we can get you to.

00:07:16.000 There's 7 million additional barrels between Iran and Venezuela that we could help them produce.

00:07:23.000 They would still own it.

00:07:24.000 We would produce it.

00:07:25.000 But guess what happens then, Steve?

00:07:27.000 I told you earlier, we use 20 million barrels of oil a day in this country.

00:07:30.000 We produce 13 million barrels a day.

00:07:33.000 The gap between what we produce here and use is 7 million barrels.

00:07:37.000 We can guarantee for our lifetime never having to need another outside force with the exception of Iran and Venezuela, 0.99

00:07:45.000 which we would own as a partnership going forward as part of a deal to let them go back to being sovereign countries.

00:07:53.000 Very simple.

00:07:54.000 They get what they want.

00:07:55.000 They get their country back.

00:07:56.000 We get what we want.

00:07:58.000 Oil independence.

00:08:00.000 Real oil independence.

00:08:01.000 No one's ever come up with this.

00:08:03.000 No one's ever thought of this.

00:08:04.000 This is the way to do it. 0.87

00:08:05.000 The boot on the neck of the mullahs. 0.96

00:08:10.000 Is there no chance that Guyana and Gulf of America and other opportunities we have here can ramp up to that level to take Iran? 1.00

00:08:20.000 You would have to do it with Iran? 0.99

00:08:23.000 Iran has three to four million additional barrels of production per day that we could extract.

00:08:29.000 They were there in 1995 or so, and it's slid ever since.

00:08:33.000 We can ramp up their production.

00:08:34.000 They haven't been able to do it on their own because they wanted to go with this nuclear proliferation pipe dream that no one should allow them to do.

00:08:44.000 Part of the deal should be we're going to do a private, public-private partnership with you with our oil to the additional oil we bring you up.

00:08:54.000 So you're not going to be any worse off just the additional oil that we allow you or teach or produce with you.

00:09:00.000 We're just going to come down at a fair price, at a market price.

00:09:03.000 Oil will never spike to $100 again.

00:09:05.000 Ever.

00:09:06.000 Ever.

00:09:07.000 Venezuela, but people tell me that the infrastructure has been so decayed under the mismanagement of the Venezuelan Marxist that that will take us years to get up to speed.

00:09:21.000 This plan of yours, if you go and tell President Trump, you got the you got the leverage.

00:09:25.000 Actually, if you started this afternoon, when's the first time you could actually get this type of production up?

00:09:31.000 Is it a year, two years, three years?

00:09:33.000 Yeah, within months, you'll start to increase.

00:09:37.000 It's not going to ramp up to to triple the level it was at one point in the late 90s.

00:09:42.000 But you start to start the process.

00:09:44.000 Steve, there's no reason oil should be $100 a barrel today.

00:09:47.000 The reasons $100 a barrel maybe goes to $110, $120, who knows, is the news and the media and the hype and the speculators and the Wall Street guys pushing the price up with it.

00:09:58.000 Everyone is is panicking. And when when there's panic, the vultures, the Wall Street folks, the vultures add to the panic and push prices up.

00:10:07.000 They always come back down. This is not a supply.

00:10:10.000 There's no reason supply reason supply and demand reason for one hundred and three dollars, which it just traded one hundred three dollars.

00:10:16.000 There's no reason for that. When you eliminate that because you say, you know, the United States is the big dog in the space.

00:10:21.000 We use more oil than any other country on the planet by far.

00:10:25.000 And so when there's a fear of disruption of oil, Kuwait says we have to force majeure oil today.

00:10:31.000 They declare force majeure price spikes ten dollars. Kuwait, it's a couple million.

00:10:36.000 It's a million barrels a day at the very max. It's not a permanent force majeure.

00:10:42.000 It's temporary until the street of Hormuzo. Here's a way to get to eliminate all these stupid news stories, 0.99

00:10:48.000 all these stupid talking heads that are talking a huge, you know, end of the world game on tuition. 1.00

00:10:54.000 We fix it. We here's what should be important. 1.00

00:10:57.000 We never dependent on another foreign drop of oil in the entire history of America.

00:11:03.000 Think about that. Well, it is. You are dependent.

00:11:09.000 You're just in some joint years in some partnership where you're the controlling entity or somehow you've got a working agreement where you're calling the shots.

00:11:17.000 The oil itself is not exactly from the right 51 percent with President Trump, the chairman.

00:11:24.000 President Trump's the chairman. It's going to be another peace board.

00:11:26.000 President Trump's in charge. You have to deal with that guy every day. Right.

00:11:31.000 No, this is what we're going to do today.

00:11:34.000 Before I lose you real quickly, let's go back to the Straits of Hormuz and the insurance. Right.

00:11:40.000 Because guys are calling force majeure all the time. They're they're going to want guys to pay for this.

00:11:45.000 So talk to me. The twenty billion dollars that Scott Besson put out there.

00:11:48.000 Can I just tell you how right you are? Yeah, sure.

00:11:50.000 Let me just tell you how right you are. Yeah.

00:11:52.000 The reason why Kuwait declares force majeure and maybe some of the other Arab countries that are getting hit are going to declare force majeure

00:11:59.000 is because those oil barrels that they were going to ship and transport were traded about sixty fifty five, sixty dollars a barrel.

00:12:05.000 They're seeing a hundred dollar price tag. They can declare legally force majeure.

00:12:10.000 The deal's broken. It's an arbitrage. It's an arbitrage. It's a total.

00:12:15.000 You're a hundred percent right. It's arbitrage. Anyway, we got a bolt.

00:12:18.000 We're going to do this again. We'll work on today and then do it again tomorrow.

00:12:21.000 You've got so much more about this. What where do people go for all your content, including your new?

00:12:26.000 Was it the new show, the edge where you talk to talk to people that have the edge, sir?

00:12:32.000 Yeah, we talked to badasses all over the country, but it's the edges on you.

00:12:36.000 I'm really proud of being the leading show to the war room at four o'clock into your warm episode on on real America's voice.

00:12:43.000 It's been great. It's been great. Great relationship, Steve. I appreciate you.

00:12:47.000 And we launched the show on the war room a year and a month ago.

00:12:53.000 Amazing. Amazing. Eric Bolling. Eric, social media also because you're putting stuff up all the time.

00:12:58.000 Where are you going on social media?

00:13:00.000 Everywhere at Eric Bolling. B-O-L-L-I-N-G. Just follow me and just love to have you join us on the edge.

00:13:06.000 There's the edge right there, Steve. I appreciate that very, very much.

00:13:09.000 Every time I come on, there's like, you know, I get a couple of hundred followers or subscribers.

00:13:14.000 So subscribe. The war room folks are going to love, love those.

00:13:18.000 It's no woke. It's bad asses, guys being guys, no more woke crap. 1.00

00:13:23.000 You can, you can do what the hell you want and succeed and perform and masculine toxicity. 1.00

00:13:29.000 We lean into it instead of fear. Yeah, that's what we do.

00:13:34.000 Oh man. I love it. I want people to pile into that day. Bowling. You're the best.

00:13:38.000 I'll talk to you after the show. We'll work on this.

00:13:41.000 President Trump with all the leverage to basically take the speculation out of this.

00:13:45.000 You know those folks very well. Send it in. This is the best idea.

00:13:49.000 I guarantee they're not thinking about it. No one's ever said that.

00:13:52.000 And that's, that's the solution. That really is a solution.

00:13:55.000 We'll get, we'll get the clip over there. Thank you so much, Eric.

00:13:58.000 I appreciate you taking time this morning to do this. Thanks, Steve.

00:14:03.000 Okay. We're going to pivot and we're going to pivot.

00:14:07.000 When we come back, you're going to have a long cold open.

00:14:09.000 Caroline Wren's going to join us, but we've done a mashup of John Cornyn.

00:14:14.000 And it's going to take some time, but the audience needs to see this,

00:14:19.000 particularly the great folks down in Texas.

00:14:22.000 Natasha Owens takes us out. Take your phone out and text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N at 989898.

00:14:29.000 This gets you to the Birch Gold ultimate guide.

00:14:32.000 It's totally free and there's no obligation.

00:14:34.000 What it does is get you access to Philip Patrick and the team,

00:14:37.000 but read the ultimate guide for investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump.

00:14:42.000 Get you access to the team at Birch Gold.

00:14:46.000 Understand why gold has been a hedge.

00:14:48.000 Maybe you need a hedge today.

00:14:50.000 You can't cause, you can't call force majeure.

00:14:54.000 You don't have that option.

00:14:56.000 Short break.

00:14:57.000 John Cornyn.

00:14:58.000 A new year means new financial goals, like making sure your savings are secure and diversified.

00:15:05.000 Will this be the year you finally listen to me and talk to someone from Birch Gold Group?

00:15:12.000 Honestly, they're great people.

00:15:13.000 I appreciate their educational approach and their understanding of macroeconomics.

00:15:18.000 There are forces pushing the dollar lower and gold higher,

00:15:21.000 which is why they believe every American should own physical gold.

00:15:26.000 So until February, if you are a first time gold buyer, Birch Gold is offering a rebate of up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases.

00:15:37.000 To claim eligibility and start the process, just text Bannon at 989898.

00:15:44.000 Birch Gold can help you roll an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold and you're still eligible for a rebate of up to $10,000.

00:15:55.000 Make right now your first time to buy gold and take advantage of a rebate of up to $10,000 when you buy by February 27th.

00:16:05.000 Text my name, Bannon, 989898, and claim your eligibility today.

00:16:09.000 Remember, text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898.

00:16:14.000 You've got to the end of February, 27 February, to qualify up to a $10,000 rebate.

00:16:21.000 That I believe you're a good and decent man who's been dealt a very difficult hand.

00:16:26.000 President, I was listening with interest to our friend and colleague from Minnesota talk about the Russian investigation.

00:16:31.000 And I agree with her 100 percent that it is our responsibility to get to the bottom of what exactly happened due to Russian involvement in our elections.

00:16:39.000 As much as they got involved in the elections in France, using a combined process known commonly as active measures.

00:16:46.000 It's a combination of cyber espionage.

00:16:48.000 It's a propaganda.

00:16:50.000 It's a use of social media through paid trolls who can actually then try to raise the visibility of some of this propaganda,

00:16:56.000 that it then becomes part of the mainstream media and becomes accepted and part of the debate in democratic societies.

00:17:01.000 I believe that we do share a bipartisan and universal commitment to get to the bottom of what happened in our last election.

00:17:08.000 Senator Feinstein has said recently that there is no evidence of collusion between the administration and Russia.

00:17:15.000 But I think she would share with me a commitment to not stop there.

00:17:19.000 People are concerned and I share that concern.

00:17:21.000 And we need to come up with a program of countermeasures to deal with this because the Russian government has been amping up their game for some time now.

00:17:28.000 And now they are operating at certainly dangerous levels when it comes to trying to interfere in our most basic democratic institutions like our elections.

00:17:36.000 Rod Rosenstein was confirmed by this body by a vote of ninety four to six is because of his distinguished record.

00:17:42.000 Most recently is the United States attorney in Baltimore.

00:17:45.000 That's why the investigation of the bipartisan Senate elect committee on intelligence is so important.

00:17:50.000 In addition to the hearings we're having on the Judiciary Committee, which the senator from Minnesota and I happen to be on as well.

00:17:56.000 So we do need to get to the bottom of what happened.

00:17:59.000 And I'm confident we will.

00:18:01.000 It is our duty and we will get the job.

00:18:03.000 Do you still have confidence in Dr. Fauci after his testimony yesterday?

00:18:07.000 Obviously Senator Paul, Braun, Donald.

00:18:10.000 I mean, Dr. Fauci is a very, he's a national treasure like a lot of the health care providers we've been hearing from.

00:18:19.000 So, I mean, can we assure Republicans who voted for Trump that none of this is being slow walked?

00:18:25.000 I know a lot of people who work on Capitol Hill who are Republicans who did not vote for Donald Trump.

00:18:30.000 They voted for Hillary Clinton.

00:18:31.000 Some of them are in your office, by the way.

00:18:32.000 Are you sure that your staff, it's true.

00:18:34.000 Are you sure that your staff and the staff of other leaders on the Republican side of the Senate and the House are really supportive of this agenda?

00:18:43.000 Madam President, ours is a nation with a split screen of a battle on two fronts.

00:18:50.000 One is the pandemic that we've been fighting now for many months and the other is to continue the fight to defeat racial injustice that has sadly divided our nation since its very inception.

00:19:06.000 One week ago today, George Floyd, a native Houstonian, tragically died in the custody of a law enforcement officer.

00:19:17.000 As the gut-wrenching video of his death spread, so has the passion and the anger among all of us who wonder how can something like that happen?

00:19:28.000 Our Constitution guarantees every American the right to protest injustice and I believe we all have a responsibility to stand up for what's right and condemn what is plainly wrong.

00:19:41.000 People of all color, backgrounds and ages are demanding that justice be served in the case of George Floyd.

00:19:50.000 The first step in that process came on Friday when the officer who had him in custody was himself arrested and charged with third-degree murder.

00:20:00.000 This morning I had a very good conversation with Judge Merrick Garland who President Biden has nominated for Attorney General.

00:20:07.000 Judge Garland's extensive legal experience makes him well-suited to lead the Department of Justice and I appreciated his commitment to keep politics out of the Justice Department.

00:20:16.000 That is my number one criterion for who should be the next head of the Department of Justice as Attorney General.

00:20:23.000 And I think both sides should support a depoliticized Justice Department and that's what I hope Judge Garland once confirmed.

00:20:32.000 The White House today with the number, the speaker, the majority leader of both houses trying to figure out how to advance the president's agenda and get it accomplished and we are on that path as I speak.

00:20:44.000 Well, part of his agenda is building a wall. He campaigned on it. Your state voted for him in part because of that.

00:20:49.000 And then you were quoted the other day saying you're not for a wall and the people of Texas are not for a wall.

00:20:54.000 What gives you that impression? Consider I think he won your state nine points, something like that pretty definitive win running on the wall.

00:21:00.000 Why would you think your voters would not be for that?

00:21:03.000 Well, the Texas border and one reason I took my colleagues to Texas was to show them this 1,200-mile border, some of which has 3,500-foot cliffs in the Big Bend area where no wall is really necessary.

00:21:16.000 There are other areas where infrastructure is important, barriers, if you say, so to speak, but it's really a combination of personnel, technology and infrastructure.

00:21:26.000 We're working right now with the Department of Homeland Security to come up with a plan to actually implement the president's goal of securing the border.

00:21:36.000 It's long overdue, and I fully support that. We intend to try to make that happen.

00:21:40.000 But he said, I mean, not to be a stickler on semantics, but he said, I want a wall. I want a big, beautiful wall.

00:21:45.000 I mean, that was from the first day of his campaign until last. I want a wall.

00:21:48.000 So why would you think that voters in your state, exempting, like, the cliffs, but for the rest of the border, why wouldn't they want a wall, too?

00:21:55.000 Didn't they vote for that?

00:21:57.000 I don't think they – I think they voted for border security.

00:22:00.000 How we accomplished that, I think they expect us to use our best judgment to try to accomplish.

00:22:06.000 It's really just a matter of political will. We know how to do it.

00:22:10.000 The problem has been we haven't had a president who actually believed in border security.

00:22:14.000 We do now, and we're fully trying to support and implement that effort together with interior enforcement,

00:22:20.000 which represents people who come in and overstay, represent 40% of illegal immigration.

00:22:25.000 And we don't do nearly enough to discourage that.

00:22:28.000 Right. No, for sure. So you think your voters –

00:22:30.000 So we're working with the president.

00:22:31.000 When they voted for Trump, they weren't voting for the wall he promised.

00:22:34.000 They were voting for Republican senators to figure out how to secure the border.

00:22:39.000 But they didn't really mean a wall when they voted for a guy who promised a wall.

00:22:43.000 They expect us to use our best judgment and our experience to accomplish that goal, I think.

00:22:48.000 And a wall, I have to tell you, Tucker, is not going to stop illegal immigration 0.94

00:22:53.000 if you don't have the personnel on the ground to catch them, if you don't have the technology,

00:22:57.000 the eyes in the sky in order to detect them so border patrol can actually get there in time.

00:23:02.000 There are places where a physical barrier is entirely appropriate, and we ought to be putting them there.

00:23:07.000 But we ought to come up with the right combination that allows us to accomplish the goal efficiently

00:23:12.000 and effectively without wasting taxpayer dollars. That's been my goal.

00:23:16.000 Where Texas Senator John Cornyn was addressing the immigration issues now in the national spotlight.

00:23:21.000 City officials and business leaders from across the valley gathered Friday at a luncheon

00:23:27.000 to hear U.S. Senator John Cornyn deliver the State of Congress address.

00:23:32.000 I can say from first-hand experience that a new, giant wall between the United States and Mexico,

00:23:39.000 from sea to shining sea, makes no sense whatsoever.

00:23:45.000 You've said that you think it's time for the Republican Party to move on from President Trump.

00:23:51.000 What do you mean by that?

00:23:53.000 Well, you know, in politics, unless you can win an election, you're pretty much irrelevant.

00:23:59.000 And I just think it's critical that, given the direction of the country now under the Biden administration,

00:24:05.000 that Republicans nominate somebody who can win a general election.

00:24:10.000 President Trump has a very enthusiastic following among a lot of his base,

00:24:14.000 but one thing I've learned through numerous elections is, yes, that's fine in a primary,

00:24:20.000 but the goal is not just to win the primary, it's to win the general election.

00:24:24.000 And to do that, you have to appeal to a broader range of voters, not just to base.

00:24:29.000 So as a tactical or practical matter, I have concerns about the President's ability to win in November,

00:24:36.000 and I think winning in November is critical.

00:24:39.000 It is simply and purely shocking.

00:24:44.000 He doesn't care about you.

00:24:46.000 He doesn't care about his voters.

00:24:48.000 Any decent person

00:24:52.000 that gets booed by their voters,

00:24:56.000 any decent person that all of a sudden gets rebuked by the very people that gave them political power,

00:25:02.000 would stop and say, maybe I'm heading in the wrong direction.

00:25:06.000 And they'd back off.

00:25:09.000 Instead, John Cornyn gets in front of the entire Texas Republican Convention and gets booed.

00:25:17.000 And then he goes back to D.C. and says, I'm going to show those people.

00:25:21.000 I'm going to show the deplorables.

00:25:24.000 I'm in charge.

00:25:26.000 Not you.

00:25:27.000 I'm the senator.

00:25:29.000 Not you.

00:25:31.000 I'm in charge.

00:25:33.000 I have never in my 10 years of doing this seen such an intentional, brazen, and defiant mode of action as what I have just seen from John Cornyn.

00:25:52.000 I'm not saying it's the worst bill I've ever seen.

00:25:54.000 That's not true.

00:25:56.000 I'm not saying that it's the.

00:25:59.000 The worst vote I've ever seen.

00:26:01.000 That's not the point.

00:26:03.000 The point I'm making is I have never seen in my 10 years of doing this someone so openly rebuked by their voters,

00:26:10.000 and then so quickly turning 180 degrees around and saying, I don't care.

00:26:19.000 I've never seen it.

00:26:22.000 Usually when you show up to a town hall and you confront them, they say, OK, I'm done.

00:26:26.000 I'm going to change my vote.

00:26:29.000 Cornyn doesn't like you. 1.00

00:26:31.000 And he jokes about it, actually.

00:26:33.000 Cornyn hates you. 0.99

00:26:35.000 He knows he'll still get money from his corporate donors.

00:26:38.000 He knows that.

00:26:40.000 Instead of being allied with his voters and be like, maybe there's something I could learn here.

00:26:48.000 He pokes him in the eye and says, no, no, no, no, no.

00:26:52.000 I'm the senator.

00:26:54.000 You.

00:26:56.000 You're the serf.

00:26:58.000 You're not a citizen.

00:27:00.000 I'm in charge.

00:27:01.000 President Biden said do something.

00:27:03.000 So John Cornyn turned his back on Texas.

00:27:06.000 Cornyn trampled on our conservative values and Second Amendment rights.

00:27:10.000 Cornyn voted with Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders to pass the worst gun control legislation in 30 years.

00:27:17.000 He stood with them instead of us.

00:27:19.000 That's why President Trump can't trust John Cornyn, calling him a rhino.

00:27:24.000 John Cornyn betrayed Texas for the last time.

00:27:27.000 Lone Star Liberty PAC is responsible for the content of this advertisement.

00:27:33.000 Boy, and all that in the voice of John Cornyn.

00:27:37.000 Charlie Kirk.

00:27:38.000 What a giant.

00:27:40.000 Absolute giant.

00:27:41.000 Did Charlie Kirk nail it?

00:27:43.000 And Charlie Kirk's own voice.

00:27:45.000 And, of course, he had the voice of John Cornyn.

00:27:48.000 We're going to take a short, very short break.

00:27:51.000 And Caroline Wren, who helped compile that information of John Cornyn in his own voice.

00:27:57.000 And then Charlie Kirk at the end to sum it all up.

00:28:01.000 Short commercial break.

00:28:02.000 Caroline Wren on Paxton versus Cornyn.

00:28:07.000 And the jewel of the crown.

00:28:09.000 The state of Texas.

00:28:10.000 Next.

00:28:11.000 The world is getting more unstable and chaotic every day.

00:28:24.000 It seems like everywhere you look, there's another crisis, another controversy, another conflict, or just outright catastrophe.

00:29:50.000 In the War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.

00:29:57.000 Caroline Renn, I just want to say that the Charlie Kerr clip was filmed about three or four years ago.

00:30:02.000 I think it was late 22, 23, something like that.

00:30:06.000 But it was like we'd ask Charlie, as we often did, say, hey, can you come on at the 1130?

00:30:11.000 Can you come on the C block of the War Room?

00:30:14.000 And Charlie would get up and sometimes we'd talk about various topics.

00:30:17.000 That's how eerie he was.

00:30:19.000 And he had it nailed.

00:30:20.000 I mean, Charlie Kerr makes the case of what we're talking about today.

00:30:24.000 So I don't see how.

00:30:26.000 And it's not just people got to understand this because he's pushing Lisa Monaco.

00:30:31.000 It's not Cornyn doing a typical politician.

00:30:33.000 This is very different.

00:30:34.000 And people must understand this.

00:30:36.000 The people in Texas understand it.

00:30:38.000 Hopefully the people around the president understand it.

00:30:40.000 This is not the corner misspeaks or says something that later everybody has that you can play a clip or something.

00:30:46.000 He is one of the driving forces for the protection racket of the deep state in Washington, D.C.

00:30:53.000 That's why he's been around for 24 years.

00:30:55.000 That's why that's why the all.

00:30:57.000 Why do you think he's got all this money?

00:30:58.000 He's got 80 million dollars spend to to destroy Ken Paxson because Ken Paxson is the exact opposite.

00:31:04.000 They can't replace.

00:31:06.000 If they could replace Cornyn with a younger version of Cornyn, there would be no problem.

00:31:11.000 There would be no fight.

00:31:12.000 It's that they're replacing him with a MAGA warrior, an America first warrior.

00:31:16.000 That is what's so unacceptable to the apparatus.

00:31:18.000 And that's what this fight's all about.

00:31:20.000 Cornyn is central to this.

00:31:23.000 John Solomon starts the show with all the investigations in Maricopa County and in Georgia and all of it.

00:31:32.000 And folks, we're in 2026 and people are fighting every day behind the scenes.

00:31:36.000 That's how tough it is.

00:31:37.000 And I asked John Solomon at the end, what do we need to do to continue to have President Trump's back?

00:31:42.000 So he drives us.

00:31:43.000 So we get to the conclusion Cornyn.

00:31:45.000 And I said it's against massive resistance.

00:31:48.000 That's what Cornyn represents. 0.79

00:31:50.000 Those clips show that he is.

00:31:52.000 He thinks it through whether it's Ron Rosen, Kranz or Rosenstein or Lisa Monaco.

00:31:59.000 It's not that he's on the wrong side of a couple of issues.

00:32:01.000 He's part.

00:32:02.000 He's a systemic part of the problem.

00:32:05.000 Caroline Wren.

00:32:06.000 It's true.

00:32:08.000 And as you were just saying, you can find a clip of anyone saying something.

00:32:11.000 For example, let's go to the Fauci clip.

00:32:13.000 There was a lot of people, including Donald Trump, who in the beginning of the pandemic, when it was scary, you know, who were saying nice things about Dr.

00:32:20.000 Fauci.

00:32:21.000 That clip, though, just so we're clear, when John Cornyn called Fauci a national hero, that was in response to Donald Trump had just come out and said, enough is enough, Fauci.

00:32:31.000 We've got to open our schools.

00:32:32.000 We've got to open our businesses.

00:32:34.000 We've got to take masks off of our children.

00:32:36.000 And John Cornyn runs the CNN, is asked about that.

00:32:39.000 And that is his answer.

00:32:40.000 And that is over and over again.

00:32:42.000 So even with these clips we're finding, we're being pretty fair to Cornyn.

00:32:46.000 It's not like we're, I mean, Lisa Monaco, too.

00:32:48.000 Lisa Monaco, it didn't fully come out, her involvement in Russiagate.

00:32:52.000 That speech that he gave was on the Senate floor when Biden had nominated Lisa Monaco to be the Deputy Attorney General of the country.

00:33:00.000 And we knew he is the head of the Judiciary Committee.

00:33:03.000 He knew everything that Lisa Monaco did in relation to Russiagate and still went on the Senate floor to give a full throated endorsement for her nomination.

00:33:12.000 This is why the Cornyn stuff is so bad.

00:33:16.000 I just I cannot even believe I knew he was bad.

00:33:19.000 It's not bad.

00:33:20.000 No, no, no, no.

00:33:21.000 Don't use bad.

00:33:22.000 Don't no, no, no, no.

00:33:23.000 Don't don't use don't use bad.

00:33:24.000 Don't use bad.

00:33:25.000 Don't use bad.

00:33:26.000 It's damning.

00:33:27.000 It's damning.

00:33:28.000 What you've been able to compile is damning.

00:33:31.000 It's damning.

00:33:32.000 This is this is not even a close call.

00:33:34.000 Like I said, the Paxton is so different than that.

00:33:37.000 He's a we have a problem.

00:33:39.000 We have a systemic problem with the deep state.

00:33:42.000 Right.

00:33:43.000 A systemic problem.

00:33:44.000 Part of that problem.

00:33:45.000 You got Lindsey Graham and Cornyn.

00:33:47.000 You've got a two thirds.

00:33:49.000 The Republican senators are in business with them.

00:33:52.000 Cornyn's one of the one of the leaders of that, and he sits on important committees to do this.

00:33:56.000 The whole weaponization and lawfare against Trump and his followers and J six and all of it, because Cornyn took the lead on that.

00:34:04.000 This is what this is not a close call.

00:34:06.000 And people that are working for Cornyn should be ashamed of themselves.

00:34:09.000 Should be doing this for money, should be ashamed of themselves.

00:34:13.000 Cornyn is at the tap root of the problem.

00:34:17.000 A hundred percent.

00:34:18.000 And half of his staff works for Hillary.

00:34:22.000 I mean, sorry, half of his staff that works for him voted for Hillary. 0.78

00:34:25.000 I mean, like those the Senate staff of the D.C. establishment, they despise Trump.

00:34:30.000 They despise everything that MAGA stands for.

00:34:32.000 You can so tell.

00:34:33.000 I mean, with Cornyn, he just reeks of it.

00:34:35.000 Right.

00:34:36.000 And people ask me, they're like, Carolyn, where are you finding all this oppo on Cornyn?

00:34:39.000 I put this for those of you watching at home.

00:34:41.000 If you want to help with this, it's pretty easy.

00:34:43.000 There's five steps.

00:34:44.000 One, Google Donald Trump controversy.

00:34:46.000 Two, pick a controversy.

00:34:48.000 Three, Google that controversy plus John Cornyn.

00:34:51.000 Then four, sift through dozens of statements from Cornyn criticizing Trump for said controversy.

00:34:57.000 Step five, repeat the process.

00:34:59.000 That's how easy it is.

00:35:00.000 And but I just you know, there's endless at the amount of floor speeches that he's given seat.

00:35:05.000 He always runs to go to interviews with C-SPAN, PBS, MSNBC.

00:35:10.000 And they're all out there.

00:35:11.000 I think maybe five percent of them have come out.

00:35:16.000 The hutspah of this is that his his one positive campaign commercial because of the 80 million dollars, 90 percent of was tearing Paxson apart was about the wall.

00:35:27.000 You would think he was sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom.

00:35:29.000 He was so close to Trump.

00:35:30.000 But every photo is in front of the wall.

00:35:33.000 And I don't think there's any person, correct me if I'm wrong, on the Republican side that fought the wall.

00:35:38.000 And since you're the senator from Texas, you got some say so there.

00:35:42.000 Right. And just constantly we don't need a wall.

00:35:45.000 We need, you know, a couple of barriers.

00:35:47.000 He hated the wall.

00:35:48.000 He's one of the leaders in fighting the wall. 1.00

00:35:51.000 And yet his spot because he thinks people are stupid. 1.00

00:35:55.000 Note to self, people are not stupid and they can see this. 1.00

00:35:59.000 What they just need to see is see it in his own voice. 0.98

00:36:01.000 And that's what you're doing.

00:36:02.000 And the people that are are crowdsourcing this are just in his own voice.

00:36:06.000 Right.

00:36:07.000 And he still had the guy that the comms director, that's another Trump hater, is is attacking you saying, oh, you don't see the big picture here.

00:36:16.000 He's ninety nine point nine percent in back of Trump.

00:36:19.000 That's just another lie.

00:36:20.000 And it doesn't wash anymore.

00:36:22.000 That's the important thing.

00:36:23.000 It doesn't wash, Caroline.

00:36:25.000 No, he can't back up any of those.

00:36:27.000 Everyone loves to say that they voted ninety nine percent with Trump. 0.91

00:36:30.000 The whole premise of that answer is ridiculous anyway.

00:36:33.000 Most of those like procedural type of votes.

00:36:35.000 And especially when you have someone like John Cornyn, who, again, with every every single time the media or anyone has criticized Donald Trump,

00:36:44.000 Cornyn has run to a television camera to pile on and criticize Donald Trump as well.

00:36:49.000 So when you're faced with the facts here, which his campaign is, I think, struggling to deal with right now, there's just no justification that you can make for any of this.

00:36:58.000 And I wish more of this had come out earlier.

00:37:01.000 But the problem, too, is just the amount of money.

00:37:03.000 Right. They're running television ads that are just Cornyn Trump, Cornyn Trump, Cornyn Trump.

00:37:08.000 And they're putting tens of millions of dollars behind it.

00:37:12.000 And so if you're a low propensity voter who's, you know, not going out and searching for your own information here and you just kind of tune in right before elections and you go vote.

00:37:21.000 Maybe you wanted to vote in your county race and you just see the incumbent senator.

00:37:25.000 Like that's why it's very hard to take out incumbents.

00:37:28.000 I admit it's no Republican or actually either party.

00:37:31.000 No incumbent senator has lost their primary since 2002.

00:37:35.000 That is 25 years since an incumbent senator has lost a primary.

00:37:39.000 That's why what Paxton has done with almost zero dollars in the most expensive state, a massive state like Texas, is so unbelievable and impressive.

00:37:49.000 And also why he is a more electable candidate in the general.

00:37:54.000 Well, this is why there's going to be X percentage, I think, 10 to maybe 20 percent of the MAGA base that just will never vote for John Cornyn.

00:38:01.000 It's not going to happen, particularly after the vitriol in this first round, the vitriol is coming in the second round.

00:38:07.000 What is your call to action? Obviously, a lot of the Warren Posse in the MAGA base are very upset about this.

00:38:14.000 They want to take action. I think putting these clips up the last week has really, I think, empowered people even more.

00:38:21.000 Now they really want into the fight because they understand there's a there's a huge stake here about the direction of this.

00:38:28.000 So what's your call to action? Where do people go?

00:38:33.000 I think for a second I want to touch on we've talked a lot about why Cornyn's unelectable, but I want to speak to why Ken Paxton needs to be elected.

00:38:39.000 Why is D.C. so against him? And it is, of course, you have to follow the money.

00:38:42.000 Go look at the money behind this primary. It is all the major corporations and the lobbyists.

00:38:47.000 And you know why they don't want Ken Paxton? Because Ken Paxton does not answer to money.

00:38:51.000 He has, in fact, sued every major corporation in this country as a Texas attorney general on behalf of the people of Texas.

00:38:57.000 He has sued BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street for conspiring to manipulate the energy markets.

00:39:01.000 He sued Meta and forced them into a $1.4 billion settlement for violating our privacy rights.

00:39:06.000 He took on the CCP by suing Sheen Team U for toxic products at Spyware.

00:39:10.000 He sued the opioid companies securing billions. He sued all the major insulin manufacturers.

00:39:15.000 He sued Eli Lilly. These are the same companies that fund groups like Senate Leadership Fund and the NRSC and others.

00:39:23.000 This is why they're pouring millions in. And this is why you, the people, have got to step up to fight these corporations,

00:39:30.000 to fight the D.C. establishment, get Ken Paxton in so that you actually have a senator.

00:39:35.000 It's very rare to have this, a senator who is going to fight for you and not for the pharmaceutical companies.

00:39:40.000 Exactly. And they couldn't be more clear. And this is why, you know, Paxton or Cornyn, as a central defender of the deep state and Paxton,

00:39:53.000 remember, when all these comments were going on, when Cornyn was rubbing up on Biden and telling you how great Judge Merrick Garland was going to be.

00:40:02.000 And we have to take politics out of the Justice Department. Look at those brazen lies to tell you how dumb he thinks you are. 0.99

00:40:09.000 At the exact same moment in early 21 in those confirmation hearings where Cornyn's glazing them in a proof confirming Lisa Monaco and Merrick Garland and everybody. 0.97

00:40:21.000 All these demons, all these demons, all these demons that we're now finding out with the investigation of Solomon and what's going on in the FBI,

00:40:28.000 all these demons that weaponized the Justice Department against President Trump and his followers to try to destroy this republic on an illegitimate regime that stole it in the first place. 0.92

00:40:39.000 Cornyn's their lapdog glazing them at the same time.

00:40:43.000 Remember what you were doing, having the back of a guy like Ken Paxton.

00:40:47.000 Ken Paxton came on the show as the first guest after the phony inauguration of Biden.

00:40:52.000 Remember, he had the circles drawn in and like 50 people showed up.

00:40:54.000 We were up on the roof for the first part.

00:40:56.000 We went, got back into the war room for the five o'clock show.

00:40:59.000 First guest, Ken Paxton.

00:41:00.000 What did Paxton say?

00:41:01.000 Where they're inside the Constitution, I'll support him.

00:41:04.000 Where they're outside the Constitution, I'm going to go to court.

00:41:07.000 And I think Captain Paxton was court the next day on the executive orders they signed to start the fricking invasion of our country.

00:41:14.000 And Cornyn saw it, and Cornyn supported it, and Cornyn glazed them.

00:41:19.000 This is not even close.

00:41:21.000 This is an outrage.

00:41:23.000 Go back in time.

00:41:24.000 You have to remember the history here.

00:41:26.000 And you have to remember the people that stood in the breach.

00:41:28.000 Paxton stood in the breach.

00:41:30.000 And what did they do to Paxton?

00:41:31.000 They then impeached him.

00:41:33.000 This show was the platform to stop them in their tracks to try to destroy Paxton because they knew Paxton was going to come and run for the Senate.

00:41:43.000 You have to understand what's going on here.

00:41:46.000 You want to drain the swamp.

00:41:47.000 You want to beat down the corporations that are destroying this country.

00:41:50.000 You want to beat down this political class, this ruling class that sat there.

00:41:54.000 And this is why I say, don't blame it on the Democrats.

00:41:57.000 The Republican establishment is just as guilty as controlled opposition in the destruction of this Republic.

00:42:04.000 And exhibit one is John Cornyn.

00:42:07.000 So if you don't stop it here, I don't hear any whining afterwards.

00:42:11.000 We know what our task and purpose is.

00:42:13.000 So everybody put their shoulder to the wheel.

00:42:16.000 Let's get to work.

00:42:17.000 Where they go, Wren.

00:42:19.000 That was brilliant.

00:42:20.000 I totally agree.

00:42:21.000 And they can follow me at at Caroline Wren on X, True Social and Getter.

00:42:28.000 Thank you, man.

00:42:29.000 Appreciate you.

00:42:30.000 Keep fighting.

00:42:31.000 Thanks.

00:42:32.000 This is not close.

00:42:33.000 It's not close.

00:42:34.000 Remember the history, particularly this audience that was there, particularly this audience that fought it every day.

00:42:40.000 Remember when President Trump exiled to Mar-a-Lago.

00:42:45.000 Remember that?

00:42:46.000 Remember, and then Cornyn was all all puffed up doing the interview. 0.76

00:42:53.000 Well, you know, the elections are about, you know, being able to do. 0.91

00:42:56.000 Screw you. 0.97

00:42:57.000 Don't want to hear your happy talk. 1.00

00:43:00.000 Trump not.

00:43:02.000 He ran the tables in the in the in the primary as we said he would.

00:43:06.000 He then came back and won the presidency in the greatest victory probably in American history in 2024. 0.74

00:43:11.000 Disgusting.

00:43:12.000 Does Ken Paxson have faults? 0.99

00:43:17.000 Absolutely.

00:43:18.000 President Trump has faults.

00:43:20.000 Caroline Wren has faults. 1.00

00:43:22.000 Stephen K. Bannon has faults.

00:43:23.000 Ken Paxson has faults.

00:43:24.000 He's got faults.

00:43:25.000 Praise the rosary to try to.

00:43:30.000 Pray to God to overcome them.

00:43:34.000 But we all got faults.

00:43:35.000 Paxson does, too.

00:43:36.000 It's not the point.

00:43:37.000 It's in fact, it's irrelevant to the point.

00:43:41.000 Short break.

00:43:42.000 If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt?

00:43:55.000 Let's see if we can help you with that.

00:43:58.000 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?

00:44:05.000 I might have a solution.

00:44:07.000 Here's why now is the time to make a move.

00:44:10.000 This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books.

00:44:14.000 They clean up past due accounts.

00:44:17.000 They sell a right off the debt to clear their books.

00:44:20.000 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.

00:44:29.000 That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.

00:44:35.000 And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage.

00:44:38.000 They monitor lender trends and understand the year-end pressure on creditors.

00:44:43.000 They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf.

00:44:47.000 Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy or taking on new loans.

00:44:55.000 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.

00:45:05.000 Get started now because your leverage may disappear at the end of the year.

00:45:11.000 Chat with a Done With Debt specialist at donewithdebt.com.

00:45:15.000 That's donewithdebt.com, donewithdebt.com.

00:45:19.000 Do it today.

00:45:21.000 War Room.

00:45:23.000 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.

00:45:28.000 So we do have the clip, but I'm not going to be able to get a cut to this afternoon of Dan Senior.

00:45:33.000 So, Post Sobek, you're an intelligence officer, and Senior was on CNN yesterday, and we have the clip.

00:45:38.000 I'm going to play it this afternoon when we have it trimmed.

00:45:41.000 That there's never been a more organized, integrated command structure for targeting between the Israeli military and Air Force and IDF and the American.

00:45:52.000 That they're in the same room, the same common.

00:45:54.000 And yet we have on Saturday night an Axios, which is totally dialed in.

00:45:58.000 And people said, why are you putting the left wing?

00:46:00.000 Hey, you know where I put it up there?

00:46:01.000 Because they're totally dialed into the White House.

00:46:03.000 You see it all the time with Caputo and those guys there.

00:46:06.000 The White House leaks directly to them.

00:46:08.000 And then they're totally tied in to the IDF and to Netanyahu's office.

00:46:13.000 So they're pretty dialed in.

00:46:15.000 And they say, hey, the American command was dismayed.

00:46:18.000 In fact, the president is so upset.

00:46:20.000 He's going to call the senior guys over there and say, what in the hell is going on?

00:46:24.000 I don't want oil assets hit because he's going to take this in a different direction.

00:46:29.000 It is impossible, Posobiec, for there to be any miscommunication in this command center unless something was hidden from the Americans, sir.

00:46:39.000 Well, Steve, of course, when you talk about joint targeting, this is something that we also it harkens back to the Ukraine war, where we remember that in the auspices of Ukraine, that there was a targeting center operated out of a gymnasium on one of the U.S. bases outside of Stuttgart in Germany, where a lot of the Ukrainian general staff, the targeteers would be sitting with American targeteers.

00:47:04.000 They'd be sitting there painting Russian targets, Russians in the field.

00:47:07.000 And of course, many have pointed out other President Trump says that he that he hasn't seen evidence of this, that some of those rumors that Iran or excuse me, Russia has been providing targeting of American forces and American bases to Iran.

00:47:22.000 Iran that, of course, harkens directly back to that who we also seen providing targeting information is the Chinese Communist Party and the CCP with their satellites are putting up near real time imagery again and again of American targets, American shipping, American bases.

00:47:37.220 China is filming, for lack of a better term, in real time, the American war machine and the Israeli war machine to understand everything about our refueling times, our reloading times, our tactics, our procedures.

00:47:49.880 They could see everything from their eyes in the sky.

00:47:52.880 However, when it comes to the issue of strikes, and of course, I read the Axios article as well from Caputo and Ravid, these guys have been dialed in from before the start of this, they called the start of this, that it talks about that the expansive nature of the specific target packages that Israel hit over the weekend.

00:48:10.880 And everyone saw, of course, those striking images, the plumes of smoke, the oil fires, the gas fires reminds a lot of people of the images of 1991, the Gulf War, when the oil fields of Kuwait were set on fire, that once again, we're seeing those those stark fuel fires.

00:48:29.020 And this time again, right over the skies of Tehran, that this this article saying that, you know, you've got White House officials saying that the U.S. was not aware that the scope of the Israeli strikes, these 30 air, these 30 fuel depots, which are hit on Saturday, went far beyond what the U.S. expected when Israel notified its advance, sparking the first significant disagreement between the allies since the war began.

00:48:53.660 And of course, this is something that the president has talked about and has been tweeting and truthing about all throughout the weekend is the impact on oil prices, the impact on on the fuel supply to the world, the impact of all of this.

00:49:06.100 We've seen gas prices, oil now over one hundred dollars a barrel looking at one twenty very rapidly.

00:49:11.020 We haven't seen a steep escalation in the global price of crude, the price of crude per barrel like this in decades.

00:49:17.780 It reminds people a lot of 2007, 2008, the surge hit, you know, coupled with the financial crisis of when gas prices were topping four dollars a barrel.

00:49:28.540 And keep in mind, that was four or excuse me, four dollars a gallon.

00:49:30.820 And that was four dollars a gallon in 2008 dollars.

00:49:34.280 So you're you're looking at five dollars, six dollars a gallon here in 2026 numbers.

00:49:40.800 And so with President Trump saying, well, wait a minute, you know, we wanted to have access to the oil.

00:49:45.460 We wanted the United States hopefully be able to receive the oil similar to the Venezuela model, which has been pushed out again and again since this conflagration began.

00:49:54.180 And it also, Steve, speaks to the ability, perhaps of the of mission creep, the situation of mission creep, whereby in the initial hope and initial planning was for a quick collapse of the regime, decapitate and delegate, just like in Venezuela.

00:50:10.420 The Wall Street Journal called it. But instead, what you're now seeing is attacks on the oil infrastructure.

00:50:16.420 And as I said here the other day, this is something where Iran could very quickly retaliate, because the one country in all of this that is not an oil rich country is, of course, Israel itself.

00:50:27.000 And Israel's military is fueled by oil that comes predominantly 50 percent to 60 percent from Azerbaijan.

00:50:33.120 That's why you saw those attacks early on by the regional commanders, we're told, of the IRGC when they were given that independent control and fire control that they're targeting was directly on oil supplies that flow from Azerbaijan.

00:50:46.340 Through pipelines into Turkey and then down into ports at Ashkelon and Haifa, where they're then refined and then given out to the IDF and, of course, the Israel to Israel proper.

00:50:56.740 And so this is something that Iran could very quickly ratchet up to be able to put a huge dent in Israel's ability to make war on them. 0.84
