Bannon's War Room - Episode 5222： Battle Over The SAVE ACT Begins

00:00:00.000 this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going to

00:00:10.320 medieval on these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people

00:00:16.880 the people have had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do

00:00:21.060 everything in the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and

00:00:24.400 Where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:00:27.680 MAGA Media.

00:00:29.040 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:34.440 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:38.220 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:44.420 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.

00:00:47.820 it's tuesday 17 march year of our lord 2026 at saint patrick's day uh we are very packed today

00:00:59.640 we're going to be covering some live uh events that we're going to have to cut into john thune

00:01:04.760 the leader of the senate supposed to take the floor in the senate in a moment and lay out the

00:01:09.320 process of which we're going to get to a vote on the save america whether that is through a

00:01:15.180 standing filibuster or not we'll see they're gonna walk through the process we have reporters down

00:01:19.880 there um i think dune is stepping up right now okay um as soon as we're gonna do the cold open

00:01:26.920 right now we'll jump into it uh if dune if senator thune um steps in and takes the mic also

00:01:33.400 the irish prime minister is going to be at the white house for bilat at 11 o'clock we'll be

00:01:38.300 covering that we've also got a jam-packed show so let's go and play the cold open we'll cut in

00:01:42.500 if and when Senator Thune takes the floor this morning.

00:02:12.500 But this narrative is wrong, not because the costs are imaginary, but because the critics are measuring the wrong things.

00:02:19.920 They are cataloging the price of the campaign while ignoring the strategic ledger.

00:02:25.420 When you look at what's actually happened to Iran's principal instruments of power, 0.81

00:02:30.060 its ballistic missile arsenal, its nuclear infrastructure, its air defenses, its Navy and proxy command architecture,

00:02:36.700 the picture is not one of U.S. failure.

00:02:39.220 It is one of systematic phased degradation of a threat that previous administrations allowed to grow for four decades.

00:02:48.780 Why do I wind up with that very long pitch?

00:02:51.960 Because everything he says is right.

00:02:54.160 Militarily, there's been extraordinary success.

00:02:57.280 But as with Vietnam, as with Iraq, and now, well, as with Afghanistan, here we are in Iran, and again, militarily, nearly perfect. 0.71

00:03:14.500 It's extraordinary what our men and women in uniform are doing and what their leaders are doing.

00:03:22.060 And yet here we find ourselves again in a situation where we could actually win every single battle and still lose the war.

00:03:34.280 And that, Jonathan, is what the White House is grappling with.

00:03:38.140 If Iran, as you say, totally obliterated, got the missiles, got the first two rounds of leadership, Air Force gone, Navy gone. 0.66

00:03:46.280 Can we wrap this war up this week?

00:03:49.320 Yeah, sure.

00:03:50.120 Will we?

00:03:52.060 I don't think so, but it'll be soon.

00:03:53.920 It won't be long.

00:03:55.140 And we're going to have a much safer world when it's wrapped up.

00:03:58.500 It'll be wrapped up soon.

00:04:01.660 Well, as he was saying this evening in the Oval Office, Iran continued to strike its neighbors. 0.99

00:04:13.560 That's an oil field in southern Iraq, one of the world's biggest coming under fire.

00:04:17.760 Also struck today, one of the world's biggest gas fields in the UAE.

00:04:22.060 Iranian drones this morning also hit an oil tank farm near the Dubai airport.

00:04:27.080 And right now, the UAE's defense ministry says air defenses are currently responding

00:04:30.960 to incoming missile and drone threats from Iran.

00:04:34.020 The Reuters news service is also reporting explosions tonight in Baghdad

00:04:37.640 in the heavily fortified green zone where the U.S. embassy is located.

00:04:40.680 Leader John Thune is set to kick off debate on the voter reform bill

00:04:44.920 known as the Save America Act as soon as today.

00:04:48.440 Thune is expected to begin the process with a vote that requires

00:04:51.380 a simple majority just to open the debate. At least one Republican, though, Senator Tom Tillis

00:04:56.940 of North Carolina, is planning to oppose even this move, but soon will likely have the votes

00:05:01.980 to go forward. The bill will likely fail due to bipartisan opposition and the GOP's desire to

00:05:08.400 protect the filibuster. But that's not stopping President Trump's allies, who say they're bracing

00:05:13.840 for long hours to build momentum for the bill. Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah tells The Hill

00:05:19.700 the president wants to see Republicans go all out and is envisioning an epic floor fight,

00:05:26.100 similar to the two-month battle that preceded the Senate's passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

00:05:31.660 The process is projected to last some seven to ten days,

00:05:35.420 though it could extend further due to amendment disputes and procedural delays.

00:05:40.200 I was just with a fantastic person who's Cuban and made a fortune in sugar.

00:05:49.700 You know, Fonhul family, right? 0.98

00:05:52.080 And this family wants to go back to Cuba to visit it.

00:05:58.120 They haven't been back in like 50 years or something.

00:06:00.420 They come from, largely come from Cuba.

00:06:04.240 And we'll see what happens.

00:06:07.020 They were asking me about that.

00:06:08.400 They want to go back.

00:06:09.180 Not only Fonhul, a lot of Cubans have said, oh, boy, would they love to go back.

00:06:15.240 But I think Cuba, I don't know, in its own way,

00:06:17.680 if, you know, tourism and everything else,

00:06:19.520 it's a beautiful island, great weather.

00:06:21.780 They're not in a hurricane zone, which is nice for a change, you know.

00:06:25.280 They won't be asking us for money for hurricanes every week.

00:06:28.660 But I think Cuba's seen the end.

00:06:31.280 You know, all my life I've been hearing about the United States and Cuba.

00:06:34.900 You know, when will the United States do it?

00:06:37.360 I do believe I'll be the honor of having the honor of taking Cuba.

00:06:43.500 a big honor. It's a big honor.

00:06:45.980 Taking Cuba. Taking Cuba 0.82

00:06:47.620 in some form, yeah. Taking Cuba. 0.95

00:06:49.600 I mean, whether I free it,

00:06:52.220 take it, I think I can

00:06:53.720 do anything I want with it. You want to know the truth?

00:06:55.860 They're a very

00:06:56.620 weakened nation right now.

00:06:59.700 They were for a long time. Very violent

00:07:01.940 leaders.

00:07:04.840 Castro was a very

00:07:05.680 violent leader. His brother's a very violent 0.87

00:07:07.740 leader. Extremely

00:07:09.580 violent. That's how they

00:07:11.660 governed. They governed with violence. But a lot of people would like to go back. We defend all

00:07:17.120 these countries. And then do you have any minesweepers? And they say, well, would it be

00:07:24.860 possible for us not to get involved? We spend trillions and trillions of dollars on NATO to

00:07:30.340 defend other countries. And I always said, but if it ever comes time to defend us, they're not

00:07:35.500 going to be there. Many of them would not be there. And we're going to have to start

00:07:41.280 thinking more wisely in this country.

00:07:44.200 Estonia, quote, it's a bit rich. Australia, we won't be sending a ship to the Strait of

00:07:49.400 Hormuz. Germany, it is not NATO's war. Diplomacy needs to prevail that from Italy. Can you talk 0.83

00:07:58.680 about the way they have responded, especially since the perception was due to the leverage

00:08:03.860 with tariffs. Trump had a lot of control and leverage. Well, a lot of that has gone away,

00:08:08.920 first and foremost. But the biggest part is, I mean, you don't ask for help after the fact. I

00:08:13.680 mean, the biggest difference between the coalition of the willing is that, yes, there was an attack,

00:08:18.300 obviously, but President Bush and the Bush administration built this coalition and really

00:08:24.220 for more than a year. Now, this is something that the Trump administration did with Israel's help.

00:08:28.880 And then after the fact, now we're three weeks on, is suddenly asking for help.

00:08:33.200 Iran. The president is moving about 2,500 Marines to the region. Are you okay with putting those 0.78

00:08:39.640 two troops on the ground? I actually spoke to some media last night, and I indicated that I

00:08:49.600 believe that what these 2,500 Marines of the Marine Expeditionary Force would be, would be

00:08:56.500 need is probably secure th

00:09:00.140 is not in my opinion, boos 0.96

00:09:04.240 in combat. So it is, it i

00:09:08.520 facility. Well, I'm not g 1.00

00:09:13.220 point matter of fact, you

00:09:15.880 I would say is the presiden

00:09:18.880 to obliterate the ability

00:09:23.760 and I think he wants to go

00:09:26.500 sure the Iranians don't do themselves in. So I think it's probably wisdom. Is that boots on the 1.00

00:09:33.400 ground? No, not like inside Iran, where they're in the cities, where we go through circumstances

00:09:39.960 that we've had in the past of large areas of population, combatants against us. And it is a

00:09:48.000 mess. I am against the, what I call the mess, moving people, Marines, snipers into population

00:09:55.540 areas. But now many on the left, some on the right, are in full panic mode over what is a

00:10:01.640 historic miracle unfolding before our eyes known as Operation Epic Fury, which brings us to another

00:10:07.920 fundamental question. Are these Trump haters really willing to risk a nuclear armed Iran?

00:10:15.440 Stop. Freeze frame. That is the defining question, not really a debatable question. You either

00:10:22.880 want a nuclear-armed Iran, you're comfortable leaving your children and grandchildren with 1.00

00:10:27.500 such, or you're not. Are they comfortable with the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism 0.58

00:10:32.720 that says death to Israel, death to America, that according to them, telling Steve Wyckoff,

00:10:38.400 are in possession of 460 kilograms of enriched uranium. Right now, that's 60% enrichment,

00:10:47.180 seven to 10 days, guess what? That's enough for 11 nuclear bombs in a very short period of time.

00:10:53.380 So are these Trump derangement syndrome patients really willing to put their lives

00:10:58.740 and their children and their grandchildren in a hostage position and let a regime that

00:11:05.700 chanced death to America have these weapons that could kill millions when America now has the 0.63

00:11:11.440 chance to avoid what happened in the last century, a potential modern day Holocaust. 0.94

00:11:18.500 Have we learned nothing from history? Make no mistake. Isolationists, leftists want to treat

00:11:24.260 America as we can live in a little bubble. They are living in a fantasy world and are actively

00:11:29.740 smearing a president that even in some cases they claim to have once supported intermittently.

00:11:36.220 In reality, they are just isolating themselves politically while the real world has moved on without them.

00:11:42.780 Thankfully, this has been the most successful military campaign in history.

00:11:47.980 This is not about voter ID. It is about voter suppression.

00:11:52.520 What they've done is to say every registered voter is going to have to go in person to re-register with either a passport or passport card or a certified birth certificate.

00:12:05.140 all of which, if people don't have them, costs significant amounts of money.

00:12:09.640 That is a textbook definition of a poll tax that was outlawed by the Constitution,

00:12:16.040 the 24th Amendment in 1964, and for state and local by the Supreme Court two years later.

00:12:22.180 But even worse than that is they would require every state to give its sensitive voter data

00:12:27.520 to the Department of Homeland Security, which would use it to require states to purge voters

00:12:35.000 from a program created by Doge using the Social Security data that they stole,

00:12:40.760 which happens to be inaccurate and biased. So this is not a voter ID bill. This is a voter

00:12:47.660 suppression bill. They're going to try and reframe it any way they can. It shouldn't work.

00:12:52.560 okay uh we're waiting for senator thune to take the floor we're gonna take our

00:12:58.560 normal commercial breaks unless he takes it and then we'll jump out of the commercial break

00:13:02.000 john solomon uh is uh broke a huge story uh this morning or last night we're gonna have john

00:13:08.500 solomon on but the chinese communist party yes the chinese communist party involved in our election

00:13:14.660 system uh the intelligence uh is out there john solomon's gonna break it down all fours we'll

00:13:21.060 have john on jenny beth martin is with us this morning clita this afternoon is going to break 0.96

00:13:25.580 down exactly what we can anticipate for uh john thune and really mike lee taking over the floor

00:13:32.220 of the senate taking control of it and putting in us into a historic debate about what president

00:13:39.000 trump has says the most important piece of legislation that's come up in his second term

00:13:43.060 and he will not let anything else go forward until it is fully debated by the senate and he said

00:13:48.280 passed. So we'll see about that. That needs the talking filibuster. We're going to see if this

00:13:54.080 is going to be performative for 24, 48 hours or it's going to be the real deal. All of that is

00:13:59.620 to come. Plus breaking news on a federal judge ruled against what Bobby Kennedy's been doing

00:14:06.580 with the vaccines. Although we are starting to get rid of because of President Trump and other

00:14:12.380 people taking a hard line 200 000 illegal alien drivers or foreign drivers having their licenses

00:14:22.380 revoked all of that this morning in the war room plus the prime minister of ireland is going to be

00:14:27.420 in the oval office for a bilat we're juggling a lot of live breaking news today plus the war

00:14:35.500 and everything else we'll get to all of it take a short commercial break back in the war

00:14:38.900 remember. Think about this. In 2006, $20,000 equaled roughly 33

00:15:08.900 prices. At today's prices, those 33 ounces of gold will be worth $165,000. Smart Americans

00:15:21.080 diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals. And that's why you need to consider buying

00:15:27.140 gold from my friends at Birch Gold Group. For thousands of years, gold has been a store of

00:19:15.020 Time now.

00:19:16.720 Democrats stopped the Senate from proceeding to consideration of this legislation.

00:19:22.180 Ms. President, for weeks, Democrats have spoken about the urgent need for reforms to immigration enforcement.

00:19:29.560 But it's been Democrats who have been the biggest obstacle to getting those reforms enacted.

00:19:36.320 The Trump administration took a number of steps on its own, I might add, to reform immigration enforcement.

00:19:43.040 And on top of that, the White House made two substantial and serious offers to Democrats to legislate reforms,

00:19:50.700 the most recent of which was sent more than two weeks ago.

00:19:55.700 The Democrats couldn't even be bothered to respond to the White House's latest offer until late last night.

00:20:02.660 18 days, Mr. President, 18 days for Democrats to even bother replying.

00:20:15.380 And that offer, Democrats' third, was basically the same as their first two offers.

00:20:22.740 No compromise and still filled with a number of non-starters that would make it more dangerous for law enforcement officers to do their jobs.

00:20:30.800 Meanwhile, on the Senate floor, the best Democrats have been able to offer

00:20:34.680 is funding some DHS agencies and leaving others unfunded.

00:20:40.640 It's really pretty remarkable, Mr. President.

00:20:44.800 Last summer, Democrats threw a fit over Republicans' rescissions package

00:20:49.660 that cut just $9 billion in federal spending.

00:20:53.320 A fraction of a fraction of a percent of the entire federal budget.

00:21:01.020 Now to hear Democrats talk, they seem to think that entire agencies,

00:21:06.520 especially the agencies that secure our border and enforce immigration laws, are dispensable.

00:21:12.380 The Democrat leader had the audacity to call this a moderate plan last week.

00:21:17.980 Mr. President, when did defunding law enforcement become a mainstream position in this country?

00:21:26.820 This might be considered moderate for Democrats, but I think the average American would view it

00:21:30.700 as extreme. Mr. President, we are now a month into Democrats' second shutdown since October.

00:21:40.120 And like their record-long shutdown in the fall, the victims of this shutdown are beginning to

00:21:44.140 pile up. TSA agents are working without pay. A significant number of agents are calling out sick,

00:21:52.020 leading to long wait times and lines stretching into airport parking garages.

00:21:56.880 CBS reports that 300 TSA agents have quit since this shutdown began. And that's on top of the

00:22:04.500 1,100 agents who quit after Democrats shut down in the fall. And it's pretty darn understandable

00:22:11.880 if you think about it. What do you do when, for two out of the last six months, you have

00:22:20.200 to work without pay? Well, that's what Democrats have put these people through. So it's more

00:22:27.140 than understandable that they might be thinking that there's got to be an easier way to earn

00:22:31.320 a living. I heard from one TSA agent in South Dakota who was at the end of her rope. She

00:22:37.340 writes, and I quote, it is very hard to live without getting paid. I do not know how long

00:22:44.520 I can keep doing this, end quote. Well, that's what happens, Mr. President, in the shutdown.

00:22:51.780 Real people get hurt. But if you ask the senior senator from Democrat, a member of the Democrat

00:22:57.820 leadership, he says, and I quote, we are very serene with what is going on, end quote. Very

00:23:05.800 serene, Mr. President.

00:23:10.920 I suppose that's not a surprising statement considering the Democrat leader characterized

00:23:14.340 Democrats' last shutdown in the fall by saying, and I quote,

00:23:18.600 every day gets better for us, end quote.

00:23:22.280 Very serene. Every day gets better for us.

00:23:28.580 For Democrats, a government shutdown is just fine as long as it seems to be working

00:23:32.440 for them politically, no matter whether it's hurting hard-working Americans, no matter

00:23:38.580 if it's jeopardizing public safety and national security.

00:23:42.240 And Mr. President, make no mistake, Democrats' shutdown is harming hard-working Americans

00:23:47.220 and putting national security in jeopardy.

00:23:50.160 Our country is facing a heightened threat environment right now.

00:23:54.680 There are a few examples of that.

00:23:55.920 Stryker, a medical tech company, was the victim of an Iran-linked cyber attack last week.

00:24:04.520 ISIS-inspired individuals attempted to detonate bombs targeting protesters outside the home

00:24:10.180 of the mayor of New York City last weekend.

00:24:13.100 And on Thursday, we saw two tragic attacks take place.

00:24:17.320 One of those in Virginia was perpetrated by an individual who was arrested in 2016 for

00:24:24.680 attempting to provide material support to ISIS. The other, an attack on a Detroit area

00:24:33.140 synagogue was perpetrated by an individual who is reported to have had connections to

00:24:36.960 known or suspected Hezbollah terrorists.

00:24:42.720 Ms. President, this is no time for Democrats' political games.

00:24:46.460 Republicans are at the table

00:24:50.140 and ready to work whenever Democrats

00:24:53.740 are done playing

00:24:55.720 Mr. President, today we are kicking off an extended debate

00:25:01.800 on the Save America Act

00:25:03.360 a package of common sense measures

00:25:05.960 united around two themes

00:25:08.280 protecting our elections

00:25:10.220 and protecting our youth

00:25:11.960 you're going to hear me use the adjective common sense a lot

00:25:15.780 in this debate, Mr. President, because if there's any word that is suitable to describe

00:25:20.460 the measures we're considering, it's that.

00:25:23.680 Mr. President, if there's anything essential to the integrity of elections, it's ensuring

00:25:28.260 that those who are registered to vote are eligible to vote, and that those who show

00:25:35.020 up to vote at polling places are those who they say they are.

00:25:39.580 And how do you do that?

00:25:40.660 Well, by requiring that Americans show proof of citizenship when they register to vote 0.76

00:25:46.900 and that they show photo ID at polling places.

00:25:52.680 That's what the Save America Act would do.

00:25:57.720 It's just common sense.

00:25:59.600 And polls show that the American people overwhelmingly agree.

00:26:04.440 But to hear Democrats talk, you'd think that demonstrating citizenship or showing a photo

00:26:10.260 Photo ID is an intolerable burden, and yet, Mr. President, I haven't heard Democrats complaining

00:26:16.480 about the thousand other circumstances in which we require photo ID in this country.

00:26:24.080 Democrats are aware that Americans have to show photo ID to get on a plane, right?

00:26:28.800 And to start a new job, and when they head to the doctor's office, and to rent a car,

00:26:38.980 to stay in a hotel. Heck, if you want to get a library card, you have to show a photo

00:26:47.160 ID. The Democrats remember their 2024 convention when attendees had to show a photo ID to get

00:26:57.160 in. The senior Democrat senator from Georgia required photo ID to get into his recent rally.

00:27:08.980 Mr. President, did Democrats hear themselves?

00:27:13.980 Are they going to start boycotting libraries and airplanes and hotels for requiring a photo

00:27:20.980 ID?

00:27:21.980 Are they going to explain why they're perfectly justified in requiring photo ID for their 0.60

00:27:30.040 political rallies, why it's somehow an intolerable burden to ask people to show their photo ID

00:27:35.180 when they go to vote?

00:27:38.120 I expect they won't.

00:27:40.360 They'll simply continue with their mindless partisan opposition

00:27:43.820 to common sense ID requirements for federal elections.

00:27:48.040 But let's hit pause on that topic for a minute

00:27:50.280 and go to another issue where common sense

00:27:53.140 and the Democrat Party have parted ways.

00:27:56.280 And that's on the subject of transgender ideology.

00:28:02.020 In their haste to embrace medical transgender ideology, 0.97

00:28:05.720 Democrats have put themselves in the absurd position

00:28:09.360 of supporting the hijacking of women and girls' sports

00:28:12.660 by biological males.

00:28:15.100 Yep, that's right.

00:28:17.700 The party that would portray itself as a defender of women

00:28:22.320 has put itself on the record

00:28:25.020 as willing to sacrifice women's athletic opportunities 0.99

00:28:28.640 for the sake of biological males. 0.99

00:28:31.760 Now, Mr. President, no one should need an explanation of what the presence of biological

00:28:38.700 males in women's sports costs women. 1.00

00:28:41.720 At the most basic level, women are losing out on a slot on the team. 0.99

00:28:49.580 Every roster place that goes to a male is a roster place that doesn't go to a female. 0.99

00:28:55.920 And for women who are on the roster, well, the presence of a biological male can, and

00:29:01.300 frequently does rob them of opportunities to excel.

00:29:08.100 Biologically, men possess physical advantages when it comes to sports, things like greater

00:29:11.900 muscle mass and greater aerobic power, which means that, by and large, men are likely to

00:29:17.760 dominate in women's sports, taking wins and medal opportunities away from women. 0.71

00:29:21.560 In an August 2024 United Nations report on violence against women and girls, they had this to say about the results of men participating in women's sports.

00:29:34.380 And I quote, according to information received by March 30th, 2024, over 600 female athletes in more than 400 competitions had lost more than 890 medals in 29 different sports, end quote.

00:29:51.560 Over 600 female athletes in more than 400 competitions have lost more than 800 medals in 29 different sports.

00:30:01.760 The Save America Act would ensure that men are not allowed to hijack women's sporting opportunities.

00:30:08.260 And yet, once again, we expect my Democrat colleagues to oppose keeping women's sports for women.

00:30:16.420 Ms. President, the idea that a female high school athlete 1.00

00:30:19.660 might lose out on a college scholarship

00:30:22.060 because her achievements were overshadowed

00:30:23.960 by those of a biological male on her team

00:30:25.840 is bad enough.

00:30:29.220 But an even more dangerous consequence

00:30:31.220 of the embrace of transgender ideology

00:30:33.400 is that children who have become victims

00:30:35.460 of irreversible gender transition procedures,

00:30:38.800 and when I say children,

00:30:40.240 I mean children, Mr. President.

00:30:45.440 young men and women who are not old enough to vote,

00:30:51.960 who are years away from being able to legally drink,

00:30:56.580 who still need parental permission to take medicine at school.

00:31:04.800 The New York Times reports, and I quote,

00:31:07.140 A review of hospital data from 2016 through 2020 identified about 3,600 patients aged 12 to 18

00:31:14.980 who had received gender-related surgery, end quote.

00:31:23.580 Age 12 to 18.

00:31:26.940 Can you imagine that, Mr. President?

00:31:30.300 Can you imagine allowing a child not yet out of middle school

00:31:34.440 to receive a medical procedure

00:31:36.400 that will result in permanent mutilation of part of her body? 1.00

00:31:42.000 This madness has to end.

00:31:48.240 Multiple European countries have acted to rein in gender transition procedures for minors

00:31:53.000 and so have a number of U.S. states.

00:31:57.020 The Save America Act would extend protection from these procedures to all children, whatever

00:32:03.920 state they live in.

00:32:06.500 Common sense measures, Mr. President, require proof of citizenship to register to vote,

00:32:12.420 require a photo ID at the polls, protect women's sports from being hijacked by biological males, 1.00

00:32:20.080 and protect teenagers from life-altering irreversible gender transition procedures.

00:32:28.960 I might add again, Mr. President, supported by a majority of Americans, and measures we

00:32:37.180 expect my Democrat colleagues to oppose.

00:32:42.140 It's unfortunate that common sense is not very common anymore in the Democrat Party.

00:32:48.720 Mr. President, I yield the floor, and I suggest the absence of a quorum.

00:32:53.300 The Clerk will call the roll.

00:32:55.460 it's also brooks

00:32:57.220 okay we're gonna get back to this as soon as we get uh some additional action let's go ahead uh

00:33:08.620 john solomon's with us is john still up john solomon joins us john you on top of all this

00:33:14.720 you've got really blockbuster news coming out of your investigation and the intelligence your

00:33:20.580 investigative reporting on the intelligence investigation what the intelligence apparatus

00:33:24.780 knows about foreign interference in our elections this is hitting and i think some of the people in

00:33:30.080 the maybe the intelligence agencies are not totally happy about this can you walk our audience through

00:33:33.940 exactly what you found yeah it's it's directly related to what john thune just talked about

00:33:39.660 as he talked about the democratic party not having common sense anymore it's just not that common

00:33:44.760 democratic party they like to mutilate women they like to prevent you from having voter id when you

00:33:50.040 go to the polls. The reason to have voter ID is to thwart potential malintended threats to our

00:33:59.280 elections, such as fake absentee ballots, which is what the FBI ultimately concluded in 2020

00:34:05.080 that China was likely doing when it sent a bunch of driver's licenses to the United States in

00:34:10.780 December 2020 with the goal that they would become absentee ballots in fake names to help

00:34:16.080 Joe Biden win. That is what the FBI documents we made public last June show. We now know that the

00:34:22.260 intelligence community not only kept that plot from the American people, not only in 2020, but

00:34:27.660 in 2022 and in 2024, quite frankly, they're keeping it from the 100 senators that'll be debating

00:34:34.200 the SAVE Act in the next few days. They also kept the fact that China accessed, penetrated

00:34:41.260 the voter registration databases of American. I want to remind everybody these are the databases

00:34:47.680 where you have your driver's license number, your social security number, other key personal

00:34:52.380 identifying information that allows you to vote and to be identified as a legitimate voter. It's

00:34:57.940 so sensitive that the Democrats currently say we shouldn't even share it with the Justice

00:35:03.160 Department. But the intelligence community decided to keep secret from the American people,

00:35:08.660 from the Congress, the fact that China accessed multiple states' voter registration databases in

00:35:15.320 2020. Now, remember, people like Chris Krebs said no foreign interventions in the election.

00:35:20.320 The FBI director at the time, Chris Ray, said we didn't have any problems. We were on top of

00:35:25.080 everything. It turns out that there were major breaches of the state voter registration data

00:35:31.000 that China directly committed, and it was kept from us. Now, in England, similar revelations

00:35:38.100 came out in 2024. The Biden administration, in fact, was alarmed and said they were angry. They

00:35:44.100 even indicted some Chinese hackers when Great Britain revealed its voter databases were breached

00:35:50.580 and hacked in 2021. And they revealed that in 2024, three years later. When the Biden administration,

00:35:56.640 when the U.S. Intelligence Committee expressed outrage at Great Britain, they knew our voter

00:36:01.120 registration data was breached, that it had been accessed by China, that it was being used

00:36:05.800 for public opinion measurement and possibly other malfeasas.

00:36:12.020 To keep that from the American people from six years, 1.00

00:36:14.180 to keep it from the senators who are about to vote on this bill

00:36:17.220 is a real disservice to the American public.

00:36:19.980 So we were able to get these declassified documents.

00:36:22.480 Ironically, some of them were declassified by the Biden administration.

00:36:25.720 I got more help from the Biden administration right now than the Trump administration.

00:36:29.760 Now, I hope that changes.

00:36:30.640 It does look like CI Director Ratcliffe, DNI, Tulsi Gabbard are in the process of declassifying some documents.

00:36:38.180 There are scores of raw intelligence reports that show Chinese meddling in the American election.

00:36:45.700 And there's one report raising concern that Ukraine was engaged in a plot to do something bad in the 2024 election to help Joe Biden.

00:36:54.740 I want to repeat that.

00:36:55.380 There is intercepted intelligence that the Trump administration has had for many, many months, in which it is suggested by Ukrainian officials that they're going to try to help Joe Biden win the election using American taxpayer money.

00:37:12.480 We're going to get to that in the next several days.

00:37:14.860 We have been working on that.

00:37:16.000 But in the meantime, the China stuff is irrefutable.

00:37:18.820 The documents are sitting in the public.

00:37:20.360 But the CIA director's chief spokeswoman confirmed that he is going to release more information just showing how bad these breaches were.

00:37:28.220 If it was bad enough to be outraged in Great Britain, it should be bad enough for Americans to be outraged that it happened and, two, that we were kept from it for the last six years.

00:37:41.260 John, there's two things.

00:37:43.260 There's one, actually what happened, and then two, the whole process of suppressing this cover-up, et cetera.

00:37:50.360 Is this tied somehow? We didn't we have we had a federal grand jury that tried to get into this right by certain indictments.

00:37:56.540 And Catherine Engelberg and Greg Phillips, isn't this one of the reasons she went to prison or she was put in jail for that summer down in Texas?

00:38:06.900 I mean, people have been around this and saying this is happening.

00:38:10.920 And the government never. But the government never actually aggressively.

00:38:14.600 i think it was conrac or whatever they never really uh and they knew that this information

00:38:20.020 was kept on servers back in mainland china under the under the uh the cover of the chinese 0.95

00:38:26.020 communist party right the why didn't the government that was a case brought by los

00:38:30.060 yeah liberal prosecutors and liberal la brought this case it ultimately was uh dropped under

00:38:38.580 pressure from the biden administration but there was concerns that a california company was

00:38:42.520 conspiring with China to do bad things in the 2020 election. What we're talking about is a much

00:38:50.420 larger operation, China penetrating different places where they could get access through cyber

00:38:56.580 intrusions, cyber activity, access to the personally identifying information of American voters and

00:39:02.800 then use it or be in a position to use it to influence the election. Now, there is some

00:39:07.520 dispute in the election. There's some dispute in the Intelligence Committee about how much China

00:39:11.880 it did in 2020, but there is zero dispute. It is undisputed from the documents I've been shown

00:39:17.840 that I've seen and from the people I interviewed. I even interviewed a whistleblower on the record

00:39:21.900 yesterday, Christopher Porter, who talks about exactly what the Intelligence Committee knew.

00:39:26.880 It was unanimously believed by the U.S. Intelligence Committee that China hacked into our

00:39:32.180 and accessed voter data information, just like what created a national crisis and scandal in

00:39:38.620 Great Britain just two years ago. But in America, we've had crickets. We've had crickets from the

00:39:43.060 White House. We've had crickets from the Intelligence Committee. There are most members

00:39:47.400 of the United States Senate that I interviewed in the last couple of days had no idea these

00:39:51.840 documents existed, that these concerns were unanimously understood to be a problem by the

00:39:57.960 U.S. Intelligence Committee. Everybody's been kept in the dark. I think there's an extraordinary

00:40:01.880 opportunity for President Trump. His intelligence team, starting today with the oversight hearings

00:40:06.940 that they're going to have with the intelligence leaders

00:40:10.380 to brief and educate the senators who are in this debate right now

00:40:14.660 about what China did.

00:40:16.360 And by the way, how voter ID and citizenship checks

00:40:19.300 could prevent future use of this data from being misused.

00:40:26.460 John, I want to get to the whole overall for China in a second.

00:40:30.100 I want to go back, though, because this is the way people lose faith

00:40:33.500 even in a Trump administration.

00:40:35.820 wasn't it krebs i mean over and over and over again we had our nose rubbed in this was the

00:40:42.520 safest most secure election by political appointees of the then president so how how

00:40:49.360 are people supposed to sit here and go i don't understand how this can happen and biden and the

00:40:54.580 cover of biden's bad enough but you had people sit there and talk about the 2020 election people in

00:40:58.920 charge of cyber at the highest levels of dhs would go on tv and brief the president and then go on tv

00:41:04.600 and say the most secure and that we our nose has been rubbed in that by rachel maddow now for five

00:41:10.600 six years how how could that have happened are you telling me krebs and wolf and the highest people

00:41:17.380 at uh at dni and cia and dhs and and uh and fbi knew this happened had these facts as they're

00:41:27.120 being presented today and look people in the eye and lied to the president united states and then

00:41:31.360 went on camera and doubled down on that line? There are great questions to be figured out when

00:41:38.260 each component in the United States intelligence community concluded that China had breached these

00:41:44.320 databases. But by all the reporting I've done, it was widely understood by the Homeland Security

00:41:49.460 Department, which employed Chris Krebs, the FBI, which employed Chris Wray, the CIA, which employed

00:41:55.780 Gina Haspel, and the DNI, which was in transition at that time, eventually the future CIA director

00:42:03.240 John Ratcliffe got in charge of that, that by April there was consensus in the U.S. Intelligence

00:42:09.200 Committee that China had breached these documents. In May of 2020, the United States government

00:42:15.240 learned that Iran, another bad actor, had hacked into a single state's database and stole 100 0.99

00:42:22.640 American voter identities, 100,000, excuse me, 100,000 American voter identities. All of that

00:42:29.420 was kept. When they made those statements in December 2020, that information was known

00:42:33.960 by U.S. federal agencies. There were sealed indictments. There was multiple briefings,

00:42:39.400 scores of raw intelligence reports, two or three completed products, intelligence products,

00:42:45.500 where the committee writes a whole report on it, confirming that these things happen. And you have

00:42:50.180 to ask yourself, who knew what when when they made those comments in December? And I think

00:42:54.240 that is a great opportunity for the House Intelligence Committee, the Senate Intelligence

00:42:58.380 Committee, the President's Intelligence Advisory Board to go back and find out which officials

00:43:03.300 allied to us, which officials looked in the camera and knew what they were saying wasn't

00:43:08.400 true. But more importantly, right now, at this moment, there are 100 senators still

00:43:14.200 flying blind beyond what I put into the public domain in the last 24 hours, which are reports.

00:43:20.180 declassified. They clearly state China gained access to this voter data. Most senators don't

00:43:25.660 know. Most members of Congress don't know. Most former cabinet secretaries from Trump one don't

00:43:30.200 know. And tomorrow, we're going to put some pretty explosive documents out again, Steve. And what

00:43:35.300 we're going to show people is what the intelligence ombudsman, the person who's supposed to watch the

00:43:40.940 intelligence community on behalf of the American public, what that person concluded, why China

00:43:46.980 intelligence, intelligence about China doing bad things in the 2020 election, why it was suppressed

00:43:53.280 from the American people. When you see what he concluded, you're going to be angry. The people

00:44:00.100 around Donald Trump, the people who were supposed to serve that president, the man the American

00:44:03.680 people elected, were trying to keep from him information he could potentially use to raise

00:44:09.660 concerns about China. They kept a president in the dark and they kept an American public and a

00:44:15.440 Congress in the dark because they had a political agenda of not letting Donald Trump score points

00:44:20.540 on China. That's what you're going to see tomorrow, the documents we make public tomorrow.

00:44:29.100 As damning as that is, because this is not done in isolation, these are unrestricted. We're

00:44:33.800 linked. Let's go back in time. Why the Chinese Communist Party? Why were they focused on mail-in

00:44:38.420 ballots? Why were they doing this? Because of the pandemic. And John, you know through your

00:44:41.880 reporting in the wuhan lab and fauci and and uh everything about gain of function and all that

00:44:47.820 they're inextricably linked the chinese communist party is at war with us they're war with us with 0.67

00:44:54.480 a biological hit because they couldn't stop trump trump and that and remember in the fall of 19

00:44:59.960 the economy was hitting on all cylinders you had virtually zero inflation you had almost zero you

00:45:05.300 know the interest rates were low you had blue-collar workers with higher wage growth and

00:45:09.640 white collar workers non-college graduates uh higher than college graduates it was the perfect 0.88

00:45:14.480 merger and the chinese had torn up in may of 2019 they torn the lighthizer deal which actually put

00:45:21.140 them in the world economy tore it up in our face and spit in our face said we're not going to do

00:45:25.340 that the the wuhan lab and this in this uh scandal on the on the ballots on the intrusion

00:45:33.220 to the election are are of the same piece and it shows you the willful blindness people don't get

00:45:40.340 off the hook on this thing this is the willful blindness of the chinese communist party 0.91

00:45:44.480 unrestricted warfare against the first off the highly focus on donald trump to make sure he was

00:45:51.040 removed from office right and they were trying to use it through the electoral system but they

00:45:55.480 were doing anything possible i don't see how that this is the deep state i mean you don't need to

00:46:01.640 talk about it theoretically anymore this is exactly how it works and first off in allowing

00:46:07.100 this to happen and number two and then covering it up sir well steve let's think about where we

00:46:13.060 are it's 14 hours since i put these documents into the public realm they're irrefutable there

00:46:18.320 is irrefutable proof that china accessed the voter registration data of americans in 2020

00:46:25.100 now within six hours of that revelation coming forward in 2024 in great britain there was a

00:46:31.160 national crisis. The equivalent of the White House, 10 Downing Street, the national security

00:46:36.720 apparatus of Great Britain was in enormous alarm, and they created a national solution to this,

00:46:42.980 including election integrity improvements, punishments for China. The Biden administration

00:46:47.980 joined in trying to punish China in punishing some of the Chinese hackers involved.

00:46:53.500 We're 14 hours into the same revelations, the same MO as China. There hasn't been a White House 0.89

00:46:59.020 briefing. There hasn't been a peep out of the director of national intelligence. There hasn't

00:47:03.760 been anything said by the people who possess this evidence. The difference in how Great Britain,

00:47:10.260 which by the way, isn't a model for a lot of things right now, and how we're reacting to it

00:47:15.200 now is part of the reason. The current people around the president have the opportunity to

00:47:20.860 make this what it should be, a moment of alarm for the American people, a moment of alarm for

00:47:26.220 Congress. They should be educating folks. There have been crickets on this. You can't complain

00:47:31.360 about the deep state. If after the deep state's been foiled and the information is now public,

00:47:36.940 you don't do the responsible thing that this information requires be done. And I think you

00:47:42.260 have to ask yourself, where's the communication strategy today? Where is the briefings that

00:47:48.140 those senators could have? Where's the rest of the documents? Now, to this credit, John Ratcliffe

00:47:52.740 told me yesterday in a statement from his press secretary. He's going to declassify everything.

00:47:57.120 That's great. But where is the movement today? Great Britain jumped on this within hours.

00:48:03.180 We're not going to be a day or two into it. And there's been nothing but a yawn from the people

00:48:06.760 around the president for exactly the same allegations, the same concerns that created

00:48:14.280 a national crisis in Great Britain. The deep state only succeeds when Republicans lay down

00:48:19.800 and don't take advantage of the disclosures and the concerns that we now have exposed for the American people.

00:48:26.860 So you can't blame the deep state now.

00:48:28.560 The Trump White House, the Trump national security apparatus, knows what happened.

00:48:32.780 Do they have the courage to step in the void?

00:48:35.080 Or are they going to play the rope-and-dope game like they did for two and a half years of Russia collusion

00:48:39.100 when every day Sarah Carter and I would go out and show that Russia collusion was bogus

00:48:44.740 And the Trump White House won, would act like victims against this deep state.

00:48:50.180 There's no reason to be victimized.

00:48:51.620 The data is out there.

00:48:53.240 The only thing that is needed now is courage and the will by the current Trump administration to bring this to the American people and to fix it.

00:49:04.020 The reason, it's impossible to have a state visit with this information out there.

00:49:09.100 You just can't do it.

00:49:09.900 Well, that's some of the things that were being said to me last night.

00:49:12.940 some of the excuses that were being made by the people around the president exactly we don't want

00:49:18.380 to offend she listen she doesn't care about offending us he was having conversations two

00:49:22.880 weeks ago about giving hypersonic missiles to iran he doesn't seem like a guy that's worried

00:49:28.160 about offense and by the way the president i know president donald trump doesn't care about

00:49:32.940 she's feelings he cares about protecting these elections for future generations so i don't

00:49:38.140 understand the lack of engagement. I could find a million excuses not to do this. Republicans are

00:49:44.280 good at finding excuses and not acting in the interest of the American people. This is one time

00:49:49.700 at 80, 85 percent issue where the Republicans have all the wind behind their back. The only

00:49:55.740 question is, will they ride that wind or will they fold their cards like they've done many times and

00:50:00.520 allow the deep state to win in a default match? You're going to see the CCP lobby in all its

00:50:07.580 glory. Got to get a trade deal. Got to have a state visit. No, you do not. This is evidence

00:50:12.180 of the pandemic and this, and they're all inextricably linked because they used the

00:50:17.360 mail-in ballots, understanding what they had done in the pandemic. It's clear as you could

00:50:21.540 possibly be. We're either going to take the Chinese Communist Party on as an enemy, an 0.96

00:50:25.200 existential threat, or you're going to play along. And if you play along, they're going

00:50:29.280 to win. John Solomon, where do people go? This explosive, and we're going to be on this

00:50:34.120 non-stop with you we got a lot more coming the next few days you're going to enjoy a lot more

00:50:37.800 stuff but yeah just the news.com jay solomon reports is the handle on all social media

00:50:42.840 and i'm lucky enough to follow you every night on this great network real america's voice six

00:50:46.500 o'clock just the news no noise with the amazing i'm in the head john you're what you're going to

00:50:52.740 do in the next couple days is make it harder for people to run away from this because now the now

00:50:57.020 the receipts you're putting out the receipts and that's what we've needed for years so well i'm

00:51:01.460 grateful for the attention appreciate your courage yeah thank you steve well it's it's it's it's

00:51:08.100 everything i mean if you don't if you don't follow this and you don't put this up then you're not

00:51:12.360 going to have a country anymore very simple yeah not so sure you can actually say we got one today

00:51:17.700 with the with the we sell we sell america to the highest bidders what we're doing

00:51:21.500 um let's go to the floor and barrasso who's really the right-hand man of thune is a target

00:51:27.360 campaign rally for a democrat and he doesn't want you to have to show one to vote

00:51:31.560 i guess he doesn't want illegal immigrants at his rallies but it's okay if they vote for him 1.00

00:51:37.040 it's astonishing why do democrats support showing a photo id to attend a political rally

00:51:44.340 and oppose it to vote in an election look what's clear to all of us is that democrats

00:51:50.460 oppose elections that limit participations to just american citizens they don't like that idea

00:51:57.120 And they're likely to line up one after another today to vote to say, nope, don't check the ID of a photo with a photo on it in order to vote.

00:52:08.360 Because we want to cram as many people as we can with their ballots into the ballot box to be counted, no matter where they're from.

00:52:19.940 Democrats said the same thing after the state of Georgia enacted voter ID laws in 2021.

00:52:24.440 What were the results?

00:52:27.380 Well, more people actually voted, not fewer.

00:52:29.400 Turnout hit record letters.

00:52:30.960 The lines moved faster than ever before.

00:52:33.820 The Democrats say it was an impediment.

00:52:36.440 Voter ID is important.

00:52:38.940 Democrats' voter suppression lies have been thoroughly debunked time and time again,

00:52:46.480 yet they continue to repeat them.

00:52:50.380 Voter ID and citizenship proof are safeguards for our elections. 0.60

00:52:55.840 They are not restrictions.

00:52:57.120 The Save America Act is how we make elections safe, secure, and a true reflection of the American people.

00:53:07.940 Every American should desire that American elections be decided by American citizens.

00:53:13.600 Who wouldn't?

00:53:15.260 Well, somebody that wants to load up the ballots with people who may vote for them, whether they're citizens or not.

00:53:22.780 Every member of the Senate should support the Save America Act.

00:53:27.120 By opposing this bill, Mr. President, Democrats are once again putting illegal immigrants ahead of American voters, and Republicans are going to make sure that every voter in America and every citizen voter in America knows which side of that issue people stand on, photo ID and citizenship or not.

00:53:49.780 the republicans are here to say it's important that only citizens vote and people prove who

00:53:58.420 they are by showing a photo id when they go to the ballot box thank you mr president i yield

00:54:05.580 the floor suggest the absence of a quorum the clerk will call the roll it's also brooks

00:54:12.040 okay we're going to go through this there'll be more speakers so what rav the real matter

00:54:19.700 voice our channel we're going to do is that the host during the shows throughout the day the

00:54:24.980 charlie kirk show the jack posovic show steve gruber eric bowling back to war room then to

00:54:30.000 john solomon in and out we're going to be following directly this debate however we're

00:54:35.000 also going to be streaming all of it on our you know we can split the stream so the other stream

00:54:39.760 will be covering it non-stop and obviously be doing that the war room on our getter and rumble

00:54:44.020 and all that grace and mo on top of it uh jenny i got mccabe and jenny beth martin like i said

00:54:48.940 We've got a lot to cram into today. We're juggling a lot of balls. The the Irish prime minister is going to show up momentarily to the White House.

00:54:59.440 We'll be covering that to the bylet. It is St. Patrick's Day is very traditional.

00:55:03.520 Jenny Beth Martin, your assessment of where do we stand now? Are we going to go through a whole Republican roll call?

00:55:09.980 My understanding is, look, I have a rudimentary understanding of the Senate rules, but are we going to actually force the Democrats, smoke them out, and have them try to defend this, ma'am?

00:55:28.060 Okay, we've got her on mute. We have to unmute her. 1.00

00:55:30.320 Jenny Beth, you have to unmute yourself.

00:55:32.180 Sorry about that.

00:55:33.640 Steve, that is exactly the pin.

00:55:35.680 We need to make sure that we are smoking the Democrats out.

00:55:39.320 Right now, the Republicans intend to have this prolonged debate, and I appreciate that the Senate Majority Leader Thune is actually doing this.

00:55:49.440 He's not just doing some sort of quick cloture to sweep it under the rug and say that he voted and that's it.

00:55:56.060 He is having a real debate.

00:55:58.080 He wants to talk about the issues.

00:55:59.840 Let the Democrats go defend why they want not to ensure that only American citizens are voting in American elections.

00:56:07.520 Let the Democrats explain why they don't think that voters should ensure that they have photo ID when they vote and prove they are who they say they are when they vote.

00:56:17.200 Let the Democrats explain why they think it's necessary to have so many mail-in ballots all over the country the way that we did in 2020, which gives opportunity for more mistakes and opportunity for fraud.

00:56:30.540 And then let them explain why it's okay to have men and women's sports. 0.95

00:56:34.260 Why do the Democrats want it to be okay for children to be mutilated and made infertile for the rest of their lives when they're not old enough to give informed consent?

00:56:46.820 That is absolutely, that is wrong.

00:56:49.840 The American people don't want any of those things that the Democrats are doing.

00:56:55.760 They want to ensure American citizens can vote.

00:56:58.460 They want to ensure we show photo ID, reduce the number of mail-in ballots so that we ensure that we have less opportunity for fraud and mistakes in our election.

00:57:09.480 Men should not be in women's sports. 1.00

00:57:12.180 And absolutely, we need to be doing all we can to save American children.

00:57:16.640 So the Senate Republicans are out there.

00:57:19.100 They are doing what we have asked them to do for weeks, not even just weeks, months and months and months.

00:57:25.060 And now it is our turn as activists to get up and thank the Republicans for doing the right thing, tell them to stay strong and keep debating, and then call the Democrats and call them out on this nonsense.

00:57:38.340 They should not be standing against what the majority of Americans want in this country.

00:57:43.940 And the majority of Americans want only citizens voting in our elections.

00:57:48.660 They want to show proof of citizenship when they register to vote, voter ID.

00:57:56.420 We just did polling on this.

00:57:57.980 A majority of Americans want that part of the Save America bill to pass.

00:58:03.320 And now with these new provisions, I was looking at polling recently, and the majority of Americans also want no men and women's sports, and they want no transgender surgery on children.

00:58:15.200 It's pretty simple.

00:58:16.280 Just do what the American people want.

00:58:18.660 Democrats, you don't only represent your base.

00:58:21.580 You represent all of your constituency,

00:58:23.760 and the majority of your constituency wants these common-sense things to happen.

00:58:31.780 Jenny Beth, let's go.

00:58:32.860 We've got about a minute.

00:58:34.740 I'll tell you what, we'll come to McCabe after the—

00:58:37.860 Jenny Beth, if you just hold with us, too,

00:58:39.780 we're going to go back to the center floor.

00:58:41.380 We're going to juggle that with the Irish prime minister

00:58:44.600 who's supposed to show up for an 11 a.m. bilat with President Trump.

00:58:48.040 I'm sure President Trump will invite the media in for this, and I'm sure President Trump will have some comments.

00:58:53.600 A lot going on overnight in the war.

00:58:56.880 I believe the secular leader, the guy who's really in charge of Iran that went to the streets and gave the threats to the president of the United States,

00:59:06.640 pretty sure that it's been confirmed by the military and the Israeli intelligence.

00:59:13.080 Looks like he may have been killed in a strike last night.

00:59:15.940 A lot going on.

00:59:16.820 the nations, our great allies in NATO, telling Trump, yeah, I don't know, this Iran thing's not

00:59:21.680 really our deal. Keeping the Red Sea open, the Suez Canal, Straits of Hormuz, that's not really

00:59:26.300 NATO's problem. They said it. Up in your grill, not our problem. If we pulled the entire United 0.75

00:59:33.380 States Navy out and said, hey guys, you deal with it, would not impact the United States of America

00:59:38.700 barely at all. Don't let people say, oh, you got to keep Suez open. You've got to keep the Straits

00:59:44.560 or her moves open. That's a European and Asian problem. Now, the United States Navy keeps the 1.00

00:59:49.740 sea open, but it's outrageous what the allies have told us. Just say, it's your deal. You deal with

00:59:54.580 it. We'll get into all of that. Hopefully, President Trump will mention that. Dr. Thayer
