Bannon's War Room - Episode 5315： Confusion Around JD Heading To Iran

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

00:00:17.000 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:19.000 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:20.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,

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

00:00:23.000 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.

00:00:34.300 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:38.060 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:44.360 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

00:00:52.920 It's Tuesday, 21 April, in the year of our Lord, 2026.

00:00:57.920 So we're going to juggle a lot this morning.

00:01:01.020 Besides talking about the war and the war against the deep state,

00:01:04.440 we've got Grassley's committee is meeting right now.

00:01:13.740 And actually, Peter Navarro, just to inform me,

00:01:16.320 he's actually going to be there in the audience.

00:01:18.020 This is going to be Arctic Frost hearing with Grassley.

00:01:21.020 Also, the confirmation hearing for the new head of the Federal Reserve

00:01:24.100 or potential head of the Federal Reserve we get confirmed.

00:01:26.920 Kevin Warsh we're going to get to all that

00:01:29.100 cutting in and out during the morning

00:01:30.980 ought to be quite fascinating

00:01:32.160 Virginia is also a huge focus of ours

00:01:35.320 when we go in live to folks out in the field

00:01:37.240 momentarily we want to start

00:01:39.360 with John Solomon

00:01:40.180 John the hits just keep on coming

00:01:42.560 talk to me about this the story

00:01:45.120 I guess you put it up late last night or early

00:01:47.140 this morning because now

00:01:49.180 it seems like all this is coming together

00:01:50.780 and you kind of see Cash was saying it's a couple of weeks

00:01:53.340 with Maria Bartiroma

00:01:55.120 was grilling the other day on her show so where do we stand with all this we got the genova now

00:02:00.960 is down there uh that's right she's telling us things are happening you're breaking stories that

00:02:06.000 tulsi's uh with the program so make sure but what are let's do let's do kind of a reset here where

00:02:12.840 do we stand and what's rolling out like new information every day well new sheriff in town

00:02:18.220 down in fort pierce florida joe de genova a former u.s attorney a former independent counsel a former

00:02:23.460 special counsel, one of the few lawyers in the history of this country to have ever filled all

00:02:29.440 three of those roles. He knows how to prosecute. He knows how to cut through the bureaucracy.

00:02:34.260 And he also knows how not to charge someone. And I think that's important,

00:02:38.120 not charging someone who shouldn't be charged and then charging those who should be charged.

00:02:41.940 And I think he brings a gravitas to the investigation that was sorely needed.

00:02:47.180 The Florida-Miami team is an excellent office. This prosecutor has more experience in the way

00:02:53.440 of Washington, and that's important because a lot of these crimes originated in Washington,

00:02:57.940 inside the White House, inside the Justice Department, inside the FBI. So new sheriff

00:03:02.980 is headline number one, and he started yesterday. He's fully at work. Two, Cash Patel has said

00:03:09.220 exactly what I've been saying on your show, that I thought by the end of this month or early May,

00:03:13.420 there would be decisions on John Brennan, James Comey, and maybe a couple of other

00:03:17.680 people that are being investigated and under targeting right now. Over the weekend,

00:03:24.200 I broke an important story that explains why Brennan's been delayed a little bit. The John

00:03:27.760 Thune-run Senate has still not gotten, has still not gotten the Justice Department,

00:03:33.260 its own party's Justice Department, the transcripts it needs to make a final decision

00:03:37.480 on John Brennan's indictment. That's silly. Now, there are a couple of things, as we talked about 0.94

00:03:41.760 yesterday, the Justice Department should stop wasting time and drop a grand jury subpoena.

00:03:46.100 That would be the fastest way.

00:03:47.660 Or John Foon ought to get a deal and get it done.

00:03:50.020 But nine weeks have elapsed since the request came in.

00:03:53.780 Eight weeks have elapsed since the deadline passed.

00:03:56.200 That's really intransigence and obstruction of a federal prosecution.

00:04:00.680 The third thing that both Kash Patel and I have been talking about and that Tulsi Gabbard has been assisting in with her great declassification efforts is the fact that we're beginning to be able to prove documents with documents and evidence that 2020 wasn't a person.

00:04:16.100 election. It was not the most secure election in American history like Chris Krebs declared on

00:04:21.380 television. We now know that Iran and China hacked voter registration databases. We now know,

00:04:28.100 as of this morning with the new document that Tulsi declassified at our request and that I put

00:04:32.640 out this morning, that the intelligence community unanimously assessed in January and February

00:04:38.280 of 2020 that America's election infrastructure was highly vulnerable to foreign intrusions.

00:04:45.080 And of all the things that they flagged, the most vulnerable were the voter registration databases, the very things that China and Iran just a few months later would hack.

00:04:54.060 Now, why is that important?

00:04:55.620 We've been sold the story that this was a secure election.

00:04:58.580 It wasn't.

00:04:59.600 We were kept from very important information during the 2020 election that identified these vulnerabilities.

00:05:06.100 They could have been closed.

00:05:07.480 There could have been greater offensive measures taken to make sure that the things that did happen, China and Iran hocking into the registration databases, China sending fake driver's licenseeers hoping they could get ballots that would vote for Joe Biden, those things could have been warded off with a more aggressive and assertive campaign.

00:05:25.400 But instead, when the president, President Trump, did get briefed on this particular memo, now he didn't get briefed on the later intrusions by China, but he did get briefed on this memo.

00:05:34.600 He told the people, there's a picture up on the website, you can actually see the meeting, all the president's men and women around the desk, the rest of the desk in the Oval Office, he said declassify this information, get it out to the public.

00:05:47.100 According to Chris Porter, the officer who wrote this memo, who couldn't talk about it until today when it was declassified, the CIA and others thwarted the president's will.

00:05:57.000 did not declassify that information, left the states, the state election systems, the secretaries

00:06:02.220 of states, and others in the dark about the vulnerabilities that were going on. I think

00:06:07.100 that's an extraordinary statement. And then later, when some of the vulnerabilities are exploited,

00:06:13.440 and China does the driver's licenses, does the hacking into the thing, Iran hacks into one state 0.53

00:06:18.900 and takes 100,000 voter IDs and starts using them in the election, they don't tell us. They keep us 0.82

00:06:24.260 in the dark, and they keep telling us and they force feed us a false narrative that it was a

00:06:28.480 secure election. It wasn't. This is not the most exposed to stuff that Tulsi Gabbard holds in her

00:06:33.900 hands. She's working to declassify evidence that will show how many states were penetrated by China

00:06:39.540 and what happened with the data. Keep in mind, as best I can tell, not a single state has been

00:06:44.500 informed that China hacked into their voter registration data or got access to a third

00:06:49.340 party or other means. That is a crime. Six years later, we don't know that, that these states

00:06:55.400 haven't been able to effectively ward off against further intrusions, try to figure out what data

00:07:02.200 was compromised. I do believe that John Ratcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard are going to drop those in May.

00:07:07.300 I think that will be an extraordinary moment. That will be more important than anything that

00:07:11.460 we put up to date on the election integrity stuff that we're reporting on. And I just want to

00:07:16.760 remind everybody, in Great Britain, this happened in Great Britain in 2024, it was a national scandal

00:07:22.220 for months. Will the country in America react the same? Will our leaders react the same? Will

00:07:29.300 John Thune and the excuse makers in the Senate pass the Save America Act? This new data in May,

00:07:35.680 I think, could be an incredible impetus for everybody to reevaluate where they stand

00:07:39.880 on election integrity measures.

00:07:43.620 John, if you go back to your theory of the case of the grand conspiracy,

00:07:49.540 I just want to make sure this is right in my mind,

00:07:52.620 and therefore the audience has this information,

00:07:55.200 is that we go through the crossfire hurricane

00:07:58.020 and the pre-President Trump election in 2016.

00:08:02.840 Democrats, you've got the Russia hoax, right?

00:08:07.620 And then they segue, that doesn't work.

00:08:09.600 they go to the ukraine impeachment but but then we get into you've got that's democrats coming

00:08:16.960 after us making stuff up when you talk about the laptop from hell comes up in november december

00:08:23.640 2019 to chris ray and bar and they said the fbi suppresses it then you're saying in january and

00:08:30.120 february 2020 because this is all it's segueing now from opposition to trump in a different

00:08:36.660 political party that kind of oversees the deep state. But then you've got an entire segment that

00:08:43.320 this is President Trump's government. These are the heads of DHS, his CIA director, DNI, you know,

00:08:51.060 FBI, you know, Bill Barr, attorney general. That's that's December, November and December

00:08:57.960 on the laptop. Then you segue into this information where they're telling him it was his government.

00:09:03.920 It was Krebs, right, and even Wolf to a degree that were saying the most secure election.

00:09:09.120 I mean, Krebs went on 60 Minutes right afterwards, the most secure election, the most secure election.

00:09:13.560 Then you segue into the steal.

00:09:16.140 Biden, then Biden in those years in the wilderness where Biden is now trying to put using lawfare to put Trump in prison and destroy other people around him.

00:09:25.700 Now we come back and win.

00:09:27.840 And you've been fighting.

00:09:28.960 This is what I think drives people crazy.

00:09:30.840 You've been fighting to get this information out nine months ago, and now we're in April heading into May, and every day it's a struggle.

00:09:39.080 This really says it's fine, but this is also President Trump's government.

00:09:43.660 This is what I think drives people totally insane.

00:09:46.480 If you look at this continuum, right, this critical path, you've got about a third of the time is under control of really President Trump's government of people that he's selected that are obviously working against him.

00:10:02.160 Then you drop the bomb that John Thune, who just yesterday said, we're not taking back up the Save America Act.

00:10:08.900 That's dead.

00:10:09.920 John Thune sits there and is holding up key, key, key, key paperwork, memos and letters that we can get, you know, Brennan nailed on.

00:10:19.820 So what is going on is are there elements of the Republican establishment that are just as just as tied into the deep state as the Democrats?

00:10:29.960 And in this process, this grand conspiracy timeline proves it.

00:10:36.380 More than half of the time this grand conspiracy has been going on against the president.

00:10:41.360 His own party was in control of the executive branch in the Congress.

00:10:45.700 I just want to let that seep in a second.

00:10:48.460 Fifty percent of this conspiracy was carried out on Donald Trump's watch against him by the people that he trusted around him.

00:10:54.840 Now, I put that photo out this morning so everybody could see who's in the room.

00:10:58.420 Gina Haspel, the CIA director, top FBI officials, top Holman security officials.

00:11:04.120 If Chris Porter is right that the president ordered those documents released that day and those people walked out of the room and say, I ain't going to do it, there should be a consequence for that.

00:11:15.060 That is defying a presidential order.

00:11:16.760 If after that, if some of the things that happened in the 2020 election, because they were still vulnerable, occurred, and we didn't tell the American people, and we came out and said it was a perfect election, most secure election in history, those people can be held to account.

00:11:30.980 I thought the single most important thing that Kash Patel said on Sunday with Marie Bartiroma wasn't the deadline, because you and I have been talking about that deadline now for about a month.

00:11:40.980 It was the fact that he considers some of this election matters to be part of the grand conspiracy.

00:11:48.380 So there looks to be a fifth element now.

00:11:50.420 All right, we got Russia collusion, Ukraine impeachment, classified documents, Arctic

00:11:55.440 Frost, which is the effort to repackage January 6th into some sort of insurrection against

00:12:00.680 the Constitution.

00:12:02.160 But Kash Patel saying the fifth element, which falls between 1-2 and 3-4, is the effort

00:12:08.760 to hide vulnerabilities that were going on in the election and perhaps allow certain

00:12:13.780 election rule changes to occur that violated state laws.

00:12:17.200 I want to remind everybody that when Gash raided Georgia, he said that the law he was rating it under was the law that says if you have laws in your state, you don't follow them under a federal presidential election, you can be prosecuted for evading a law because the legislature, not the election bureaucrats, get to decide the manner of the election.

00:12:36.700 And so in Georgia and in Wisconsin, there's some pretty strong evidence, and now maybe Michigan and Arizona, pretty strong evidence that some of the rules were changed that were not in compliance with what the legislators want.

00:12:49.140 That could become another part of the grand conspiracy, and Kash Patel confirmed that is a part of the grand conspiracy.

00:12:55.620 It was the first time I had heard that was when he said it to Maria.

00:12:58.280 So you have a five-headed conspiracy now, five different subjects, five different operations going on, and it appears that they're doing that to put them all together, and you've got a very senior prosecutor at the helm.

00:13:10.940 Now, listen, a lot of the things that I have now put out, I originally FOIA'd since Donald Trump became president.

00:13:17.620 I used the open records law, and I was turned down by multiple agencies.

00:13:21.840 Lots of agencies have turned me down.

00:13:23.440 I persisted, negotiated, cajoled, and we've been starting to get these documents released one by one.

00:13:31.140 But it's too slow a process.

00:13:32.760 It's an unnecessarily slow process for a president who clearly values transparency.

00:13:38.220 I think the president's about to throw a hand grenade into the middle of that dynamic and create a new mechanism by which this information can be declassified and released.

00:13:46.840 I think we'll hear about that in the next 10 days.

00:13:48.900 john where do people go to keep up with your uh your reporting sir yeah just the news.com uh

00:13:56.880 jay solomon reports on all social media john solomon reports the podcast and every night at

00:14:01.660 six o'clock i'm lucky enough to follow you right here on real america's voice just the news no

00:14:06.120 noise john uh amazing tenacity if it was not for your tenacity we would not be here today

00:14:13.520 grinding this thing through just incredible thank you so much thank you sir country the

00:14:18.280 country owes John Solomon what they tried the bureaucratic this is what's

00:14:23.500 insane do you hear what he just said that the John Solomon's got it for you

00:14:29.080 you would think these departments would say John come on over and let's go

00:14:32.920 through the files this is what frustrates Fenton and in Solomon so much

00:14:38.720 the apparatus is relentless and not putting forward this information short

00:14:46.000 commercial break. Arctic frost under Grassley, the confirmation of the next chairman of the

00:14:52.240 Federal Reserve, and we're going to talk Iran. All next. The dollar's convertibility into gold

00:15:02.460 ended in 1971. Gold was fixed at $35 an ounce. Well, fast forward to today, and the U.S. dollar

00:15:09.840 has lost over 85 percent of its purchasing power. Gold, on the other hand, is increased in value by

00:15:17.120 over 12,000 percent. That's why central banks are buying gold at record levels. That's why major

00:15:23.860 firms like Vanguard and BlackRock hold significant positions in gold. And that's why I encourage you

00:15:30.800 to consider diversifying your savings with physical gold from Birch Gold Group. But it starts with

00:16:28.160 I want you to think about that for a second.

00:16:33.720 Even President Trump,

00:16:35.600 this is why the Republican establishment

00:16:40.120 who are told globalists are so dangerous.

00:16:43.460 Now we got Thune, they're all whining up here,

00:16:47.940 all bitching and moaning, the Senate,

00:16:51.340 that the Cook Report has now put the Senate in play.

00:16:54.180 I just don't think it's in play.

00:16:55.280 I think it's really in play.

00:16:56.280 I think it's long odds now.

00:16:58.160 for the, told the Senate, because they recruited, Thune is just, you just understand, he's a

00:17:06.100 creation of Mitch McConnell. He and Cornyn, that whole, that whole leadership crowd, all of them

00:17:12.040 are worthless. Some are just more worthless, you know, all Republican establishment are worthless, 1.00

00:17:18.260 just some are more worthless than others to do a rift on Animal Farm. 0.98

00:17:24.660 now they're all running around

00:17:28.320 oh my god we're going to lose the senate

00:17:29.660 you deserve to lose the senate

00:17:31.000 you haven't done anything

00:17:33.580 everything you've done

00:17:36.060 is performative

00:17:36.900 and today this Arctic Frost I want to see what the

00:17:40.020 action is

00:17:41.480 if it hadn't been for

00:17:43.500 Solomon

00:17:46.380 and Tom Fenton

00:17:47.340 you got cash inside and you

00:17:50.060 see this and go back over the timeline

00:17:52.220 everything they're talking about

00:17:54.180 releasing these documents today, that at the highest levels of the government, they knew that

00:18:00.720 the election system was vulnerable. Oh, my gosh. You know, with Matt Meck and Tina Peters and Mike

00:18:10.100 Lindell, people in prison because of this, other people that tried to bankrupt because of this.

00:18:15.720 The human carnage here is unbelievable. The folks down in Georgia that are fighting this,

00:18:19.940 These are patriots, folks out in Arizona that are fighting this to try to destroy you, make sure you can't get a job, bankrupt you.

00:18:29.580 Have you pour all your money into into legal fees?

00:18:34.040 Can I get my clock right there? Thanks.

00:18:36.480 The to legal fees to essentially take over your life with this.

00:18:45.500 And John Solomon, let's not bury the lead.

00:18:49.940 as bad as Crossfire Hurricane and everything they tried to do in pre-election day in 16 to stop us,

00:18:58.840 everything they did illegally after President Trump was in there to basically have a coup

00:19:04.520 and stop President Trump in office, and a lot of the first term was definitely stopped.

00:19:10.600 You saw that because of what the deep state wanted.

00:19:16.760 Then towards the second part of it, in 19 and 20, this is, and you throw COVID in there,

00:19:22.620 and the Fauci response, this was his government.

00:19:25.260 But it was not his government.

00:19:28.020 Because the apparatus is going to run like the apparatus runs,

00:19:31.760 and they wanted to reject the populist nationalist movement that President Trump represented.

00:19:39.380 If you go back to that timeline

00:19:44.000 And let me tell you who are guilty here

00:19:46.900 And needs to be prosecuted

00:19:48.220 Yeah Brennan needs to be prosecuted

00:19:49.580 Comey you got to get Barr

00:19:51.000 Barr needs to be prosecuted

00:19:52.360 He and Chris Wright need to be prosecuted

00:19:54.980 And they need to go to prison

00:19:56.220 The laptop from hell

00:19:59.120 The FBI had

00:20:00.360 In November of 2019

00:20:02.540 And the Justice Department

00:20:05.680 And the FBI suppressed the information

00:20:07.700 That was in the laptop from hell

00:20:08.960 Later, they were to lie about it, and this led to all indictments against me, indictments against Rudy Giuliani, trying to bankrupt Rudy.

00:20:19.200 Rudy no longer owns this place in New York, forced to sell it.

00:20:26.920 Rudy Giuliani is another hero, patriot.

00:20:30.440 There's just so many, dozens and dozens and dozens. 1.00

00:20:32.880 That's even before you get to the J6 people. 1.00

00:20:35.300 The people would not back down. 1.00

00:20:36.500 Now we know this morning, because Tulsi Gabbard finally released it, and she's been fighting an incredible fight. 0.93

00:20:44.940 It's one of the reasons they leak on her all the time and hate her. 0.99

00:20:48.820 She speaks truth to power.

00:20:52.420 I will match up, and the investigations will be done here.

00:20:55.980 I will match up everything Mossad and CIA said about what was going to happen in Iran versus what Tulsi Gabbard said was going to happen.

00:21:04.420 Let's just declassify it now.

00:21:05.880 Let's land it up next to each other on a piece of paper, and you see who was right and who was wrong, who was telling the president the truth, and who was lying and spinning.

00:21:16.420 So Tulsi releases these documents this morning that in January and February, at the highest level of the intelligence community and DHS and Justice Department, the law enforcement community, knew that the system was hackable and very hackable.

00:21:32.140 and they took a united front not to release that not to tell the states the chinese communist party 0.55

00:21:39.440 hacked it and then they lied about it krebs should be in prison for the rest of his life

00:21:46.140 krebs ran right to 60 minutes maybe we'll just play that this week on the six o'clock show

00:21:52.400 krebs went right to 60 minutes the most secure election history and chad wolf no offense bro

00:21:58.840 He reported to you.

00:22:02.440 All these people.

00:22:06.740 CIA, DNI, Barr, Barr is one of the worst.

00:22:10.920 Barr sat in the Oval Office.

00:22:14.100 It's in his book, Bald Face Lied to the President.

00:22:18.600 In November, maybe early December, I think it was late November of 2020, right after the election.

00:22:26.360 He said he had gone out to the field offices and asked specifically for a report in the field offices of Atlanta and Phoenix and Detroit and Milwaukee and Pennsylvania and Philadelphia.

00:22:40.480 He had asked had there been any election interference of note, and people come back and said no.

00:22:48.500 That's a bald-faced lie.

00:22:49.860 We know that the U.S. attorney in Philadelphia actually sent him a letter saying, I think we've got to delay the certification of this election because of grievous errors.

00:23:01.480 This was about the mail-in ballots and about the cages and having the double envelopes and not being able to get to them until they ripped them open.

00:23:08.200 The Democratic machine knew exactly what they were doing.

00:23:12.120 And Barr lied about that, sat in the Oval Office and lied to the fact, how do we know this?

00:23:17.160 that guy eventually I think ran for governor

00:23:20.600 the U.S. attorney

00:23:22.740 and he's very open about the letter

00:23:25.960 there's a copy of the letter

00:23:27.040 in January and February

00:23:31.520 the president of the United States

00:23:34.400 Donald John Trump, Trump 45

00:23:36.340 ordered these people in a meeting

00:23:39.120 to release this information

00:23:41.860 and go to the states but release the information

00:23:44.320 so the public knew it, no

00:23:45.500 the deep state made it

00:23:48.080 which they do all the time

00:23:49.480 that's what has to be shattered

00:23:51.900 and God bless

00:23:55.020 Joe DeGenova

00:23:57.080 who's a hero of mine

00:23:58.760 his wife Victoria Tenzing

00:24:01.380 these people are heroes

00:24:02.460 they've been fighters

00:24:03.300 but Joe's 81

00:24:05.600 and he's not a young 81

00:24:07.600 he's not like Trump

00:24:09.160 they've had to call him back

00:24:12.620 on active duty to make sure this thing hammers through.

00:24:17.380 Why is that, you ask?

00:24:19.120 Why is that, Steve?

00:24:21.160 Because the big law firms, the conservative law firms,

00:24:24.220 have put the word out that if you work for Trump's main justice,

00:24:28.780 if you work as a president, you come on one of these special projects,

00:24:31.420 you're not going to be, you're not going to work at a major law firm.

00:24:38.600 Todd Blanche had to leave his law firm.

00:24:40.800 His partner said, if you take that job with Trump, you have to leave.

00:24:45.360 I had some of the big, I've got the bills are short.

00:24:47.300 I had some of the most powerful law firms in the country that represented me.

00:24:50.580 And they came to me after January 6th and said, anybody associated with Trump and any of his kind of inner circle, we can't represent anymore.

00:24:59.960 Because, not because of you personally, we like you, you're fine.

00:25:03.960 We don't mind you as a client.

00:25:05.260 But our corporate clients, because the corporation is the most progressive forces in the country.

00:25:10.800 Don't sit there and give me Atlas Shrugged.

00:25:13.260 No. 0.99

00:25:13.940 They're the most progressive, some of the most evil and wicked. 0.87

00:25:18.160 You see this from DEI. 0.88

00:25:19.500 You see this from everything they do.

00:25:22.020 As manifested now in artificial intelligence and what they're doing there.

00:25:26.780 But they told all the Trump people, not me, but President Trump also.

00:25:31.200 President Trump had always had tremendous representation.

00:25:33.960 And then that's why Todd Blanch and Emma Bovee, who are two heroes,

00:25:38.860 that came in the darkest of the dark days

00:25:42.140 under Boris's guidance

00:25:43.480 and put together a team

00:25:45.180 that eventually won across the board.

00:25:49.240 And that any misstep at all,

00:25:52.480 President Trump, be in prison,

00:25:53.860 which they wanted.

00:25:54.840 And they're coming again.

00:25:56.880 This is what I don't think the White House

00:25:58.100 quite has got the memo on this.

00:26:00.760 They're coming this time 10x harder

00:26:03.580 than they came last time.

00:26:06.300 This is what I told CPI.

00:26:08.860 I think it was during the inauguration when I talked to CPI.

00:26:13.300 I'm looking at my ever bored producer here.

00:26:17.500 I think we went to CPI, I think it was during the inauguration festivities.

00:26:20.720 I gave that speech where I was banging on the podium up there like a madman,

00:26:24.900 telling them no matter what you do,

00:26:26.660 just by being associated with President Trump's second term,

00:26:30.440 that they're going to come after you and put you in prison.

00:26:33.740 Because that's what they do.

00:26:35.080 and you see the struggle

00:26:38.340 that John Solomon's got

00:26:39.340 and Tom Fitton's got

00:26:40.340 think about it

00:26:40.920 for your request

00:26:41.840 wouldn't you think

00:26:43.280 that President Trump's government

00:26:45.460 would say Tom Fitton

00:26:46.640 come on down

00:26:47.620 John Solomon

00:26:49.500 come on down

00:26:50.400 we got to get to the bottom of this

00:26:53.480 and we're burning daylight

00:26:54.740 this is why it always falls back

00:26:59.300 on your shoulders

00:26:59.960 is this term perfect?

00:27:03.220 no it's not

00:27:04.020 have you noticed it's not perfect human institutions often are not perfect

00:27:09.580 but that's why it always falls back on the grassroots always in the MAGA movement

00:27:18.160 to defend it and take it forward this is what's happening in the commonwealth of virginia today

00:27:23.700 they've got a big chart of all the republican groups including the president's

00:27:28.240 no MAGA Inc or whatever it's called all this money they've raised I don't know 500 million

00:27:32.060 dollars added all up they couldn't spare a couple of million bucks to help the grassroots movement

00:27:37.040 in Virginia which could have won this and right now that's we're gonna have John Reed on and

00:27:41.740 hopefully Jeff they're running around but this thing is a dead heat from being 10 or 15 points

00:27:48.000 down it's a dead heat it's all about turnout today it's a tall order but you can see victories if

00:27:56.860 possible. Once again, you put it on your own shoulders, you heroes, because you are the hero.

00:28:04.180 If you haven't noticed, you are the hero in this narrative. It's always back on your shoulders

00:28:11.800 and your agency, and that's what they want to crush. Okay, we're going to take a short commercial

00:28:17.700 break. We're going to talk about what's going on geopolitically and in capital markets, and then

00:28:22.740 The American health care system is broken, and for most Americans, nothing changes.

00:28:29.180 There's still delays, denials, high-cost insurance roadblocks.

00:28:33.100 So when I find people doing things differently, I talk about it.

00:28:38.240 All-family pharmacy is not your typical big-chain pharmacy.

00:28:42.320 This is an independent, family-owned pharmacy that gives you access to over 400 medications delivered straight to your door.

00:28:50.240 They've got ivermectin, antibiotics, antivirals, NAD+,

00:28:55.940 even your daily maintenance medications, and so much more.

00:29:00.340 If you already have a prescription, your doctor can send it directly.

00:29:04.120 If you don't, their doctors handle it.

00:29:06.820 As long as there is a medical necessity, they'll take care of you.

00:29:11.320 And I'll tell you this, the feedback from people listening to this show

00:29:14.000 and watching has been incredibly strong.

00:29:17.140 People are using it.

00:29:18.220 It's working for them, and they're sticking with it.

00:29:20.820 That's because it cuts out the delays, the middlemen, and all the usual nonsense.

00:29:26.260 This is about being ready before you need it.

00:29:30.420 Go to allfamilypharmacy.com.

00:29:32.560 That's all one word, allfamilypharmacy.com slash Bannon,

00:29:36.360 and use code Bannon10 to save 10%.

00:29:39.740 The health care system is broken.

00:29:42.600 Your pharmacy doesn't have to be.

00:29:45.060 we got bowling or get to in a second about geopolitics capital markets i want to first

00:29:53.900 go to john reed uh about what's happening in the commonwealth of virginia today uh sir how do you

00:29:59.080 think it looks well we've got volunteers all over the place standing at the polls and i was out

00:30:06.160 earlier this morning i mean it does look like if you can show people the maps who were showing up

00:30:10.720 kind of confused. They want to do their civic duty to vote, but you could actually show them

00:30:15.600 physically what the Democrats are proposing, which is taking normal looking maps that make sense

00:30:22.740 regionally and switching this to five congressional districts anchored in one particular county in

00:30:29.620 Fairfax County, the richest and most connected county probably in America. They begin to see

00:30:37.260 what's happening. Now, how many of those we're converting? I don't know. And then the big

00:30:40.840 question that we dealt with throughout Governor Youngkin's time as governor is we've done a big

00:30:47.660 push for early voting, but do we have the voters waiting to actually vote on election day? Or are

00:30:54.240 we just shifting our core constituency to early? And this will be another test of that. I mean,

00:30:59.620 it's one reason a bunch of us have been out on the ground trying to talk to younger people

00:31:03.920 who may or may not really feel like they've got any skin in the game and say,

00:31:08.280 this is going to decide the future for you.

00:31:10.660 Are you going to be led by radical Democrats who want to take your guns,

00:31:16.300 tear down your statues, obliterate everything that you value in your life?

00:31:22.600 Or are you going to fight back so that Republicans at least have an opportunity

00:31:27.860 to push back on that in Washington?

00:31:30.160 It seemed to resonate with a big audience out in the eastern shore that I visited with yesterday.

00:31:37.100 It was a really younger demographic.

00:31:38.700 I was so thankful to be put in front of them.

00:31:41.060 But we've got to grow this party, and we've got to grow it fast.

00:31:44.540 And this will be a test of whether we've reached those new voters and whether they're buying in to what's happening.

00:31:53.200 Yeah, but if you don't win today, I mean, given the crushing defeat you had in the House of Representatives last November,

00:32:00.160 in no state offices, and now you're not going to have any congressmen.

00:32:04.160 Good luck.

00:32:04.800 It would be awful. 1.00

00:32:06.500 I hate Native Virginian. 1.00

00:32:07.880 It's going to be a long haul. 1.00

00:32:09.340 The Southwest also.

00:32:11.000 But just walk me through the math today because what has to happen?

00:32:14.380 We still have people who are in posse, manning phone banks.

00:32:17.840 Because you see the Southwest, that all-important Southwest Virginia

00:32:21.640 doesn't look like it's voting.

00:32:22.880 And maybe the fact that I guess their congressional district

00:32:26.000 is the one that doesn't change.

00:32:28.320 What actually has to happen between now and 7 p.m. to squeak out a victory here?

00:32:35.520 Southwest needs to understand that what happened last year where, if you look at it, it's probably 400,000 votes total across the state, folks who voted for Trump who didn't turn out last time for whatever reason.

00:32:48.940 They don't vote in presidential elections.

00:32:50.820 They didn't like me.

00:32:51.620 They didn't like Winsome.

00:32:52.860 They were mad with Jason about a couple of AG issues.

00:32:55.740 Whatever their reason was.

00:32:57.560 Hang on. Hang on. The reason is very simple. Glenn Youngkin, the whole getting Youngkin in the first time was a massive effort of this show and John Furks and other people to turn out Trump voters from 2020. And Youngkin didn't include Trump. I mean, this is 100 percent on Youngkin. He didn't. This is a complete debacle is because of him. The reason Trump voters aren't coming out. They don't think he's MAGA. You know why? He's not MAGA.

00:33:21.740 I don't put this on you and the candidates that ran this until now he's flying around the state and flitting around and putting a couple million bucks in in the typical way he flits around.

00:33:31.780 People need to see that there's true action.

00:33:34.220 If we lose today in the Commonwealth, Commonwealth is like Colorado because they're never going to reverse this back, right?

00:33:42.460 They're never going to reverse this back.

00:33:44.040 It's going to be like it's going to go from a slightly purple state to a deep blue state.

00:33:48.420 no state officers control control of the house of delegates and you have 10 you have 10 democratic

00:33:55.880 congressmen with this lobster that comes out of fairfax and the federal government just keeps

00:34:00.640 expanding and northern virginia gets more and more radical with people that are not even born

00:34:06.160 in this country so there's no probability virginia goes down to about number 40th on priority list

00:34:12.960 they're trying to save anymore, doesn't it? Well, as you pointed out before this, I was really

00:34:18.500 hoping we would see more money earlier in this campaign from the RNC and from other groups in

00:34:25.240 Washington that they wouldn't repeat what I'll say was kind of stingy last year. I mean, they

00:34:30.160 left a number of us hanging when we were pretty tight in the polls. And I do absolutely agree

00:34:34.980 with you, Steve. Embracing President Trump is really important if you want those core Trump

00:34:40.620 supporters to turn out. The one thing I'll say is that there are people who are out campaigning

00:34:46.100 today and have been campaigning for the last couple of weeks who hate each other in Virginia.

00:34:51.840 They don't agree on things. There's a past where they're mad with each other. They are working

00:34:58.580 hard to try to accomplish this, and I'm hoping that they've been able to collectively pull

00:35:05.360 their pockets of supporters and groups that maybe don't understand what's on the line

00:35:12.780 together and get them to show up. But I cannot argue with you. I think it's a disaster if we

00:35:18.640 lose. But the reason that's happening, it's good that it is happening now. There's a simple reason

00:35:23.420 it's happening. You and Jeff Reier and this amazing grassroots, particularly the chairman

00:35:30.320 of these rural counties just sat there and go with that kind of toughness and grit to say,

00:35:36.080 hey, we're not prepared to have the Commonwealth destroyed because this is what you're going to

00:35:39.440 destroy of representative government. We're going to fight this. It was the grassroots momentum and

00:35:43.200 nobody tossed any money. And this thing, even President Trump's campaign to throw five million

00:35:48.420 dollars, the leaders of that decided to a grassroots effort not to buy more TV spots.

00:35:53.760 Remember, if the consultants can't find a way to grift off the money and that's buying TV,

00:35:58.380 You're right about that. Which we know doesn't work. It's this is all right now, particular Trump voters, low, lower propensity voters, lower information voters.

00:36:07.080 It's all voter contact. It's doing what they're doing in Kent. It's doing what they're doing in Hanover.

00:36:11.980 It's doing what you've been preaching. And that. And hey, guess what?

00:36:15.180 That works when people actually see the lobster because the Democrats never show it.

00:36:19.700 They go, what? That's not a fair map. That's Fairfax.

00:36:23.040 That's the most liberal progressive part of the country controlling the entire Commonwealth of Virginia.

00:36:28.380 Brother Reed. And they are seeing it when when we get the map up in front of folks. I've been

00:36:34.700 posting it through socials all over the place. You know, one other factor here, Steve, that's

00:36:40.300 important is last year when we were running, it was all a hypothetical that the Democrats would

00:36:47.100 be radical in Virginia. You know, Abigail Spanberger, our new governor, had presented

00:36:51.540 herself falsely as some sort of soccer mom with a gun who, oddly enough, used to be in the CIA.

00:36:58.380 I still can't figure out why no one had concerns or investigated that.

00:37:02.520 But she presented herself as a moderate.

00:37:04.600 Now, I knew it was baloney because she had been my congresswoman. 0.60

00:37:08.740 And I saw her go after Dave Brat in the front row of his town hall meetings like she was one of these radical no king protesters.

00:37:17.920 So I was telling people, don't be fooled. 1.00

00:37:20.040 This lady is going to be hyper aggressive. 1.00

00:37:22.220 She is a leftist. 1.00

00:37:23.460 There's a reason she's in Virginia. 1.00

00:37:25.400 and she's planted here to try to take things over. 1.00

00:37:28.460 She's not going to play nice with everyone, and you can't be fooled. 0.99

00:37:32.660 Well, now, what, three months after she's been inaugurated,

00:37:36.900 everybody in Virginia is on notice.

00:37:38.680 She's declared us a sanctuary city.

00:37:40.320 She's going after law enforcement. 1.00

00:37:42.580 She and her party proposed 51 taxes on everything, 1.00

00:37:47.040 including your mattress that you sleep on.

00:37:49.280 People are having a visceral reaction to that.

00:37:52.200 And I am hopeful that with the grassroots effort that you've referenced, which is real, it has been done, and doesn't cost the millions of dollars that the consultants can skim off of, coupled with people being really ticked off about the governance they're getting from people who presented themselves as moderates who cared about affordability and dining room tables, economic issues.

00:38:21.060 I'm hoping our crowd is going to turn out.

00:38:23.940 But, you know, they don't answer polls when you call them.

00:38:27.040 They're not interested in talking about it, assuming they even pick up the phone.

00:38:30.820 So this is an experiment in some way.

00:38:33.620 I'm just glad that everybody has put their baggage aside in Virginia

00:38:37.380 and is at least for this month and a half working real hard to pull it off.

00:38:44.120 John, where do people go today?

00:38:45.720 We've still got until 7 p.m. tonight.

00:38:47.480 There's still a lot of fight in the grassroots.

00:38:50.260 Somehow, by hook or crook, we've got to cut and try to drag this one across the line.

00:38:53.660 Where do folks go?

00:38:55.460 Yeah, I am posting lots of information on the Read Revolution podcast.

00:39:00.140 I hope you know where you go and vote.

00:39:03.820 But if you don't, I'll be putting a link so you can put in your address and find out where your voting precinct is.

00:39:08.820 You have until 7 o'clock.

00:39:10.500 So if you're working late, you can still get as long as you're in line at 7.

00:39:14.180 If there is a line, you can vote.

00:39:17.260 And it really is.

00:39:18.360 it's do or die here for fair representation, for the democracy that these Democrats constantly

00:39:24.980 claim they care about. Well, that's what's on the ballot today. Are we going to support

00:39:30.860 democracy, support your neighbor and their vote and their voice going forward? Or are we going to

00:39:36.940 allow Democrats to scam you and stomp on your voice and vote? And I'm just praying our guys

00:39:45.560 will respond brother reed you fought a good fight on this one uh let's keep uh let's keep driving

00:39:52.060 through 7 p.m tonight and of course we'll cover this we'll do it uh throughout the evening thank

00:39:56.360 you sir appreciate you thanks steve let's get the over to john reed's uh social media let's put that

00:40:02.340 up follow it throughout the day we're gonna try to get jeff on here in the second hour maybe a

00:40:07.060 couple of these uh chairmen um although everybody's out as they should be eric bowling where are where

00:40:15.000 are there's a lot of macro things happening where are we on this uh brother i know we're going to

00:40:20.740 talk about your overall idea of making some deal between big oil and some of this and chinese

00:40:26.500 communist parties weighed in but where do you think we are right now before we got a couple

00:40:30.200 minutes before we go to break i'm gonna hold you over where do you think we are in this

00:40:32.740 right now we're just very nervously up a touch remember this may contract and crude oil is

00:40:39.220 coming off the board today massive volatility usually by the end of the day so we're looking

00:40:43.340 of June right now. Up a little bit, Stephen. And yeah, we can talk about the plan, but more

00:40:48.340 importantly, you see what Saudi and Iran, there's some private war going on. I think we were talking

00:40:54.460 about this offline. And you've been saying this the whole way. Saudi Arabia, some of the other

00:41:03.620 Middle Eastern producing countries, hate Iran. Hate Iran for what they've done. They fear Iran.

00:41:08.420 They're the bully in the Middle East. 0.93

00:41:10.760 And so there is an undercurrent going on there. 1.00

00:41:13.280 But I do think that we're getting close to a deal.

00:41:16.580 I think the people who know a lot are not driving the price way up based on what they could be doing with some of the rhetoric coming out of the Iranian contingency.

00:41:27.020 So it feels like this is a lot of positioning publicly so that they can kind of lean on the negotiators the other side so they can get a better deal.

00:41:37.300 But I do honestly believe that it's almost like he's been doing what we've been talking about, Steve.

00:41:43.040 It was within the first week or two of the war, I came to you and I said, look, there's a way to get this.

00:41:49.180 They may not make everyone happy, but you're going to have to really bring them to their knees. 0.96

00:41:53.600 You've got to hit them hard. 0.87

00:41:54.360 You have to go take some extraordinary measures.

00:41:57.220 And I mentioned roads and I mentioned water plants and whatnot.

00:42:02.060 They did that or they threatened to do that.

00:42:03.960 Trump said we can obliterate the whole citizenship, or more recently, we can take out power plants,

00:42:10.200 water desalinization plants, and that brings them to the bargaining table. 0.64

00:42:14.420 So that worked.

00:42:15.320 It was softened them up at the bargaining table, and then throw in our massive oil companies. 0.93

00:42:19.780 Our oil companies are the best in the world, better than the Middle Eastern oil companies. 1.00

00:42:23.740 Pull that oil out of the ground, increase their production, and we get first crack at 1.00

00:42:27.400 that production at market prices.

00:42:29.200 Not the original oil that they're producing now, but we can raise their oil six, seven

00:42:32.480 million barrels between Iran and Venezuela. And all of a sudden, Trump is the guy who gave us oil

00:42:38.480 stability for an eternity. So it feels like that may be the plan in play right now. But again,

00:42:47.280 some of the things we've talked about over the last 52 days, 53 days or so are coming to fruition

00:42:51.900 as we speak. Eric, can you hang on? I want to delve down more in the practical, whether we're

00:42:59.220 going to have a delegation going are they trying to bait us to get the delegation in the air and

00:43:03.780 then decide they're not going to go also this issue of like who are we actually negotiating

00:43:08.500 with um I think that you know a lot is going on here is is tactical concerns not strategic concerns

00:43:17.220 these guys don't think they're beaten they're not acting like they're beaten um they're acting like

00:43:23.380 they believe they're winning and they're playing uh even I think they're playing games and or

00:43:28.840 hardball even about getting a meeting to sit down and try to negotiate this. Short commercial break,

00:43:34.220 Eric Bolling on the other side.

00:43:46.040 Everyone's focused on how the conflict in the Middle East is raising oil prices, but there's

00:43:50.160 another grim reality to this contention. Oil isn't the only resource being constrained. About one

00:43:57.180 third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region. And with spring planting season on

00:44:03.300 top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they can't afford to plant their

00:44:08.400 fields. When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know what comes next. Higher

00:44:14.280 food prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying. That's why having an emergency food supply

00:44:21.060 at home makes so much sense. And that's where our friends at MyPatriotSupply come in right now

00:45:10.300 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann.

00:45:16.280 Okay, the Fed chair is up, and Arctic Frost is up.

00:45:21.400 We're going to get to all those in the next hour.

00:45:25.000 In bowling, I'm going to ask you about the Fed chair.

00:45:26.920 But right now, correct me if I'm wrong,

00:45:29.740 we have not ascertained if J.D. and the team's in the air.

00:45:33.520 We haven't ascertained.

00:45:34.680 In fact, I think the latest we've got is the Iranians are saying they're not in Islamabad.

00:45:42.060 And I'd be very careful about putting our team on the plane until we knew that they not were flying to Islamabad. 0.77

00:45:47.160 I wouldn't put people on the plane until I knew they were in Islamabad.

00:45:50.660 What are we going to do?

00:45:51.880 Put the vice president of the United States in the air and then have these guys say, upon further review, we're not going to do it.

00:45:56.740 We're not going to show up.

00:45:58.340 They're just playing games right now.

00:45:59.700 because they think in their mind their reality is they're winning,

00:46:05.780 and they've got the initiative, and they're toying now with the United States.

00:46:09.420 Bowling, am I – is that crazy talk?

00:46:13.300 No, no, you're on it, and I will tell you,

00:46:15.840 I get the alerts from the press pool any time the president or vice president move.

00:46:20.420 They can move from the White House to the golf course.

00:46:24.780 I get the narrative on what happened on the way.

00:46:27.720 again for the vice president as well and I haven't gotten any movement from the vice president as far

00:46:32.180 as the press pool is concerned nothing no emails at all and I will add Steve I don't know if you

00:46:36.060 watched that CNBC probably didn't it was right before your show started but Trump called into

00:46:40.880 CNBC for a very wide-ranging about almost a 30-minute conversation and he mentioned that

00:46:49.160 J.D. Vance was definitely involved in negotiations but then didn't say he was going to be there for

00:46:54.840 So he may be negotiating. You could Zoom it as well, which would probably, to your point, why send the VP over there and have risk them not showing up in embarrassment to the United States?

00:47:07.680 So it may be a strategy. He'll do it from the White House.

00:47:11.940 But here's my point. You're not – if you've got to Zoom it, that's fine. Do that.

00:47:15.720 But look, there's two things. Number one, it's the terms of the negotiation.

00:47:20.700 Obviously, there's a big gap between the bid and the ask.

00:47:25.080 There is also who are we negotiating with and can they deliver on what they agree to?

00:47:31.840 I don't happen to believe that the guys I see can deliver particularly on Hormuz because Hormuz, some days it's closed, some days it's open, some days ships are trying to run the blockade, other days they're not.

00:47:42.800 Do we have the clip about UAE, about President Trump?

00:47:45.820 Yeah, let's go.

00:47:46.580 I want to play this one.

00:47:48.140 I want you to listen to this.

00:47:49.080 They asked him this morning about our favorite ally, our favorite ally, UAE, in the credit line.

00:47:55.360 Do we have that?

00:47:56.100 Let's go ahead and play it.

00:47:57.460 We appreciate all your time.

00:47:59.120 If you have time, I want to ask you one more question.

00:48:01.900 Go ahead.

00:48:02.960 And, you know, we have allies now in the Middle East.

00:48:07.400 Maybe some are we can maybe count on more than allies in other parts of the world.

00:48:12.640 They're much better allies than they are, that I can tell you.

00:48:15.520 The UAE asking the U.S. for some type of financial life.

00:48:21.640 I don't know if it's a solvency problem.

00:48:24.320 It's more of a liquidity problem.

00:48:26.480 And I know we did, Secretary Besant did something with Argentina that worked out.

00:48:31.800 Is there some type of swap possible, currency swap with the UAE to help if they need it?

00:48:38.700 And do you think there would be backlash because it's such a wealth,

00:48:41.380 or perceived to be such a wealthy country?

00:48:43.720 Is that under consideration?

00:48:45.520 It is, but it's been a good country.

00:48:47.700 It's been a good ally of ours, and, you know, these are unusual times.

00:48:51.800 They were, more than anybody else, I mean, it was shocking

00:48:54.160 because we thought that they'd shoot missiles at Israel,

00:48:57.400 but not every other country in the area.

00:49:00.060 And, you know, UAE got hit with 1,400 missiles. 0.59

00:49:03.720 Now, fortunately, they had the Patriots, and they had great defense,

00:49:06.920 and they were able to shoot down most of them.

00:49:09.140 But they did get hit hard.

00:49:11.860 They were hit the hardest of the group, actually.

00:49:14.020 and they're really led by incredible people and yeah i mean i'm surprised because they are really

00:49:20.800 rich you know they invested uh a year ago i went there and i got them to invest one trillion dollars

00:49:27.520 in the united states they're building a tremendous plant in uh a great state called oklahoma aluminum

00:49:34.240 plant melting plant beautiful incredible top of the it'll be the best anywhere in the world

00:49:39.240 So, you know, they're very good for this country.

00:49:41.520 So, yeah, if I could help them, I would.

00:49:43.880 I mean, we're helping them much more with what we're doing with the war 0.93

00:49:47.340 because, you know, the bully of the Middle East was Iran. 0.99

00:49:50.740 Iran was a bully and bullied all of these countries around, 0.98

00:49:53.780 and they threatened them all the time, 1.00

00:49:55.340 and they threatened about the Hormuz Strait.

00:49:58.420 They threatened, sometimes, some people call it the Strait of Hormuz,

00:50:01.380 which is actually a more beautiful wording.

00:50:03.700 far be it for me to tell the president of the states his negotiating strategy but

00:50:11.640 mr president here's what i would do let's collateral if you're going to do it if we're

00:50:16.040 going to do it because it's going to be a firestorm if you do it uh because they are

00:50:20.040 perceived as wealthy because they are wealthy uh if they got a liquidity problem it's because

00:50:25.120 they mismanaged it remember dubai went bankrupt during the 2008 this is why mbz from abu dhabi

00:50:30.780 runs the deal i would seize i would secure all the collateral they've got including their trillion

00:50:37.400 dollars worth of investments here in the united states is collateral bowling am i too far off

00:50:41.900 based on that maybe take a little collateral for this thing if it goes through no no no definitely

00:50:46.140 take collateral see if i read into that what the ua is asking for and yesterday we we kind of hit

00:50:52.060 them hard because they're very well very wealthy country dubai and could be the the you know the

00:50:56.460 playground or Disneyland or Vegas for the world, for rich people. And then I read into it, and it

00:51:03.000 doesn't appear that they want an actual physical loan. It looks like, and I'm going to give you

00:51:07.820 another side of this, which I think may be a reason to actually do this. It's not a loan,

00:51:12.960 right? They want to swap. They want to have access to the U.S. dollar at a lower rate,

00:51:18.720 at a fair rate. And what I would suggest, this is up to the Fed. The Fed will be the one who

00:51:24.880 decides whether or not it's supposed to be, this swap mechanism is supposed to be for countries

00:51:31.860 that need it, who are allies of ours, or if they fail, it will be detrimental to our economy.

00:51:37.960 So here's my point. You give them this swap operation. You don't lose a lot of money in it.

00:51:43.700 Maybe it's a little bit of a loss on commissions and whatever, but offer them the U.S. dollar

00:51:49.180 because, Steve, in return, you say, guess what?

00:51:52.160 The U.S. dollar will always be your reserve currency

00:51:56.260 for every tradable commodity.

00:51:58.020 And guess what?

00:51:58.780 Saudi Arabia, you're looking for the same thing. 0.64

00:52:00.900 We'll do it for you. 0.98

00:52:01.820 As long as you keep the main oil producers in the Mideast

00:52:04.500 on the petrodollar, it ain't going anywhere else.

00:52:08.520 And that may be worth the small price, small price.

00:52:12.680 Bowling, where do people get you?

00:52:13.960 I'll see you at 4 today or in our show.

00:52:16.380 I'll try to do a swap if I can get organized.

00:52:18.060 If I can get organized.

00:52:18.500 Let's do a swap today, and they can find me at 4 o'clock on Real America's Voice.

00:52:22.680 War Room, stick with this man.

00:52:43.500 A lot of wisdom in what Eric's saying,

00:52:46.700 but I think it shows you that having the prime reserve currency,

00:52:51.160 which allows us to finance all this debt, does not come at zero cost.

00:52:57.380 A lot to think through.
