Bannon's War Room - Episode 5327： Chaos And Confusion Around Peace Talks; The Elite's Plan To Live Forever

00:00:00.000 What options are available to the U.S. Navy to clear mines in the strait?

00:00:04.420 There was a lot of reporting about the minesweepers that were decommissioned,

00:00:08.940 I think it was back in January, that were in the region.

00:00:11.100 How complicated could this get?

00:00:14.220 Well, thanks for having me on, Anderson.

00:00:15.720 Yeah, this is really kind of the worst time for this to happen

00:00:18.300 because the Navy just retired its minesweeping fleet

00:00:21.180 and is still building up its fleet of robotics minesweepers.

00:00:25.320 So we're kind of at the low point right now in Navy minesweeping capacity.

00:00:28.580 and that right now what the Navy's challenge is, is trying to get some initial ships in there to

00:00:33.720 be able to start clearing mines because they moved everything out of the strait and out of

00:00:37.060 the Persian Gulf at the start of the war. So now they're having to bring all of that back in

00:00:40.820 and begin at least the slow process of using robots to search for mines along the transit

00:00:47.480 lane in the strait so we can at least bring Navy ships in and out. I think that the Navy has largely

00:00:51.540 done that part of it already. So is it clear how empowered the Iranian foreign minister is to

00:00:55.660 actually negotiate on behalf of the Supreme Leader and the Revolutionary Guard commanders?

00:01:01.900 He seems to have the authority of whoever in Iran is in control of sending him in a delegation

00:01:09.400 to Pakistan to put the Iranians' position face-to-face to the Pakistani mediators here.

00:01:17.280 His meeting with the army, the commander of the army, the field marshal here, Asim Manir,

00:01:24.440 is meeting with the foreign minister, his meeting with the interior minister. These are the

00:01:28.620 interlocutors that the parliamentary speaker, when he came here from Iran two weeks ago,

00:01:34.540 that he met with. So the Pakistanis seem to be taking him as a person representing the Iranian

00:01:41.260 position at the moment. And that's what he says is here to represent. I think that there's sort

00:01:46.540 of some confusion that I think relates perhaps to sequencing. The Iranian foreign minister landed

00:01:51.820 about five hours ago. He landed out at the VIP airport here, is having his meetings very close

00:01:59.100 to that airport in the army headquarters, which is nearby. As we understand, those meetings have

00:02:03.740 gone through the night about five hours now. His plane is still on the ground. But when he came in,

00:02:09.260 he said he was coming here, and then he was going to go to Oman, and then he was going to go to

00:02:13.400 Moscow. And it's not clear if the foreign minister spokesman is kind of making a message for public

00:02:21.500 consumption, international consumption. But it's quite possible Iran's foreign minister is having

00:02:26.740 a meeting here. He'll take off, leave the country and may circle back if all the meetings go well

00:02:32.780 for that meeting with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, potentially Sunday, potentially Monday.

00:02:37.640 Blanche is saying he wants to move more efficiently. This is Michael Reddit from the New York Times.

00:02:42.940 He's made very clear that he's going to move more efficiently on the targets more than Pam

00:02:47.340 Bondi did. We'll put the list of targets up. I just have to ask you, is this normal? Because

00:02:54.180 we cannot let the extraordinary become ordinary here. But perhaps I'm being hyperbolic. Is this

00:03:02.360 normal? Oh, gosh, you're not being hyperbolic at all, Simone. This is the furthest thing from

00:03:07.720 normal. This is the thing that I find myself having trouble communicating to the American

00:03:11.820 public because it's so extraordinary. And you're right. We kind of get used to it after a while.

00:03:15.920 But every single one of these cases is an outrage in the sense that they are built on thin evidence and they're being pushed through the Justice Department, often over the objections of career attorneys or they move the career attorneys aside who say, hey, there's no evidence here.

00:03:30.280 And Todd Blanche, the thing about Todd Blanche is that he knows better.

00:03:33.200 He was a respected prosecutor in the Southern District of New York for eight years until one day he left his private law firm and decided to go work for Donald Trump.

00:03:42.740 And he's been making these kinds of compromises ever since.

00:03:46.640 And, you know, he said the other day that Donald Trump has a right and a duty to tell the Justice Department which cases, which criminal cases to investigate and which targets to go after.

00:03:55.000 That is the opposite of the way the Justice Department has run, particularly post-Watergate.

00:03:59.320 But even before that, you didn't see this kind of blatant weaponization with the president saying, go investigate that person and find a crime.

00:04:06.240 This is really bad. And it's not my opinion.

00:04:09.420 This is the opinion of all kinds of current and former Justice Department officials and FBI agents that I talk to on a daily basis.

00:04:15.480 They're horrified by what's going on here. And they're very concerned that we're only a year into this thing.

00:04:20.160 There's three more years to go. They've moved aside thousands of attorneys and hundreds of FBI agents.

00:04:26.360 And they're continuing to work their will on this DOJ.

00:04:29.120 interesting. If, in fact, because you're right, Anderson, Iran drew a very clear precondition.

00:04:34.040 The U.S. has to lift the blockade of Iranian ports before they'll even have talks.

00:04:37.760 If Iran is now coming to Pakistan and these talks happen, then they've blinked a little bit. And

00:04:42.600 that's where that's that's actually fairly rare for the Iranians to do once they lay down a 0.99

00:04:46.200 precondition like that. So I think that's important to watch. Second is Pakistan, which which Beth 1.00

00:04:51.640 just mentioned. Look, oftentimes when you're dealing with a mediator, they really want this

00:04:55.760 process to succeed. Pakistan has a lot on the line. I suspect they're putting some spin on the

00:05:00.980 ball, Anderson, with both sides, suggesting maybe there's some progress when, in fact,

00:05:05.080 the two sides might be quite far apart. It's very difficult when you're dealing with mediators. So

00:05:09.340 hopefully there's a face-to-face here. The third point I would say, though, Anderson, is that the

00:05:14.460 third aircraft carrier coming into the Middle East is significant. I've dealt with Middle East

00:05:18.740 Polysphere a long time. Honestly, I've never seen that in my time. It goes all the way back to 2003. 1.00

00:05:23.500 that is an awful lot of firepower. And I think at least the U.S. is signaling that if there is not

00:05:30.300 a diplomatic path here, that we are prepared to militarily perhaps take control of the Strait

00:05:36.060 of Hormuz, which is a very difficult military mission. But that seems to be the signaling.

00:05:40.420 You don't deploy a third aircraft carrier strike group, which comes with destroyers and submarines,

00:05:45.720 unless you're pretty serious about perhaps an operation that can come. I hope it doesn't come

00:05:50.960 to that. I hope the diplomas can get on track. But I share Beth's caution, and I'm not particularly

00:05:58.520 optimistic here. You need to put the polls in some context. It's almost impossible in modern

00:06:04.660 polling, given the ideological impulses of base voters, to get much lower than he is in terms of

00:06:11.520 his unfavorable ratings, but also how unpopular he is when it comes to the economy, when it comes to

00:06:16.860 inflation, even when it comes to the non-border enforcement part of immigration. He is very,

00:06:23.700 very low, still has Republicans, most Republicans with him, but that's even sinking. And I think

00:06:29.360 the biggest alarm for him and for Republicans is they look at the House map and it looks like

00:06:34.640 almost impossible for them to keep control of the House. They look at the Senate and they start to

00:06:39.060 look at states like Iowa, Ohio, Alaska, Texas, Maine, all which should be very, very winnable.

00:06:46.860 maybe not even competitive. And they all look suddenly in danger. To me, the most interesting

00:06:52.720 thing is talking to people around the president. Their language and body language has changed

00:06:58.780 markedly in the last two months. They know they're in a huge hole and it's going to be really,

00:07:03.680 really hard to get out of it. They don't even really defend it anymore. They understand

00:07:08.280 that we're here by a series of choices that the president made by himself. How to prosecute this

00:07:15.260 war was his choice. To do tariffs the way he did was his choice. To unleash ICE into neighborhoods

00:07:21.640 before ICE was properly trained to do it was his choice. To then promote that in a very chest

00:07:28.840 thumping type of way was his choice. And now Republicans are having to pay for that. And I

00:07:34.940 don't think you're going to see Republicans in Congress necessarily turn on him in force. But

00:07:39.740 I can tell you right now, there's a tremendous amount of pressure on the people around the

00:07:43.500 president to change this cabinet to get some more people in here some fresh blood some clear

00:07:48.320 thinking or they worry they're just going to get wiped out and as we're reporting this morning

00:07:52.340 day one democrats will impeach him i don't think he cares that much he's been impeached before he'll

00:07:57.680 survive it in the senate but that's the fate and he can he can ignore the subpoenas oh his friends

00:08:03.540 and family can't all those companies can't like he's coming for a political hell and that's gonna

00:08:09.640 be tough. This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going

00:08:20.680 medieval on these people. I got a free shot all these networks lying about the people. The people

00:08:27.820 have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in

00:08:31.900 the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people

00:08:35.320 like that go to share the big line? MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people

00:08:43.140 had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save

00:08:50.820 my country, this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. 0.62

00:08:58.260 saturday 25 april year of our lord 2026 um seems to be some corn fusion about this uh about who

00:09:13.400 are we actually negotiating with or is there negotiating negotiations um i do want do we

00:09:20.060 have the clip can we play about the carrier battle of strike groups again let me i just want to make

00:09:24.280 sure you get the buried lead out of our, there are two buried leads in the cold open. Number one

00:09:29.940 is this, which we're going to play again. And then at the end, Jim Vanderhay over to Axios

00:09:36.340 talking about that yesterday piece of the lead on Axios about how, what I've been warning about,

00:09:43.380 the Democrats have a very organized, systematic way that they're going to destroy President Trump

00:09:49.580 and the Trump movement once they take,

00:09:52.300 if they are to take the House and the Senate,

00:09:54.920 particularly the House.

00:09:56.040 And that is why the grassroots in this country

00:09:59.800 and the Trump supporters, the true supporters,

00:10:01.980 are fighting tooth and nail.

00:10:05.280 Big event this week, obviously the redistricting wars.

00:10:09.180 And we hear all these people say,

00:10:10.460 oh, the redistricting wars, it's total nonsense.

00:10:12.880 They forget 22.

00:10:13.940 We wouldn't have had the House unless we did redistricting wars.

00:10:16.220 New York started, the Democrats started it. 0.97

00:10:19.580 we stole a march on them at 22. That's why we took the House of Representatives and at least

00:10:24.240 had some sort of control during the madness of Biden's regime. Let me go, let's go ahead and

00:10:30.020 play this again on the, and Dr. Thayer I think is with us. Let's play this again on, about the

00:10:35.240 carrier battle groups. Let's hit it. Interesting. If in fact, because you're right, Anderson,

00:10:40.440 Iran drew a very clear precondition. The U.S. has to lift the blockade of Iranian ports before

00:10:44.880 they'll even have talks. If Iran is now coming to Pakistan and these talks happen, then they've

00:10:50.320 blinked a little bit. And that's actually fairly rare for the Iranians to do once they lay down 0.57

00:10:54.640 a precondition like that. So I think that's important to watch. Second is Pakistan, which 1.00

00:10:59.660 Beth just mentioned. Look, oftentimes when you're dealing with a mediator, they really want this

00:11:04.320 process to succeed. Pakistan has a lot on the line. I suspect they're putting some spin on

00:11:09.460 the ball, Anderson, with both sides, suggesting maybe there's some progress when, in fact,

00:11:13.580 the two sides might be quite far apart. It's very difficult when you're dealing with mediators. So

00:11:17.920 hopefully there's a face to face here. The third point I would say, though, Anderson, is that the

00:11:23.040 third aircraft carrier coming into the Middle East is significant. I've dealt with Middle East

00:11:27.300 polysphere a long time. Honestly, I've never seen that in my time. It goes all the way back to 2003. 1.00

00:11:32.840 That is an awful lot of firepower. And I think at least the U.S. is signaling that if there is not

00:11:38.860 a diplomatic path here, that we are prepared to militarily perhaps take control of the Strait of

00:11:44.740 Hormuz, which is a very difficult military mission, but that seems to be the signaling.

00:11:49.140 You don't deploy a third aircraft carrier strike group, which comes with destroyers and submarines,

00:11:54.280 unless you're pretty serious about perhaps an operation that can come. I hope it doesn't come

00:11:59.520 to that. I hope the diplomas can get on track, but I share Beth's caution, and I'm not particularly

00:12:07.080 optimistic here. I think since they're supposedly not going to meet with us and we're not going to

00:12:13.300 deal, President Trump's not going to play games of dealing with intermediaries, we're back to that

00:12:16.800 again, which is one of the ways we got here in the first place. I do believe it's not just a third

00:12:22.080 carrier strike group. There's more assets flowing into the region. And as we have said, there's

00:12:26.920 going to come a point in time. And remember, we hate this war, but you have to win it and we have

00:12:33.900 to win it and kind of move on and get the hell out of there uh the pirate uh the brigands the

00:12:39.720 Barbary Coast pirates that have seized the Strait of Hormuz somehow are going to have to be dealt

00:12:46.320 with you can't deal with it um diplomatically if you can't deal with it uh through um economic 1.00

00:12:53.020 coercion you may have to go in there just dig them out dig them out get the Arabs in there 0.77

00:12:58.820 as your partner, the Europeans, and then toss it to them. We've got a minute on this side, 1.00

00:13:04.700 Dr. Thayer, on that topic of where we are. Your thoughts, sir?

00:13:10.160 Well, my thoughts are these. So there's a clearly frenetic diplomatic activity,

00:13:14.500 but it's really in the wrong place, Islamabad. The reports that you had in the cold open,

00:13:20.840 the CNN reports and others, Steve, I think are illuminating. And Carolyn Levitt has said that

00:13:26.880 the Iranians have requested talks. And whether that's going to be happening today with Witkoff

00:13:32.400 and Kushner obviously remains to be seen. But this isn't where this issue is going to be decided.

00:13:40.260 The Iranians are under enormous pressure. The PRC has signaled that they want this issue resolved.

00:13:48.200 And so I think what's going to be happening is it's going to take President Trump talking

00:13:55.440 more directly with Xi, whether that occurs in May or whether that occurs obviously sooner

00:14:02.280 through other media to bring this to a head. But the Iranians are under enormous pressure

00:14:09.680 militarily, of course, with the military power that we have, the firepower that we have within

00:14:16.260 region the way that they've been stressed and uh treated um and uh it seems that there is

00:14:24.480 um the opportunity to bring this to a close but steve your point about trump isn't going to be

00:14:31.560 playing games with it if the iranians don't want to come around on enrichment and on the straight

00:14:38.060 this war is going to start again no no they're saying no we need more enrichment they're playing

00:14:44.040 games right now they're playing games uh we're taking a short break uh financial times of london

00:14:51.640 following the war room closely talk about that next

00:14:56.280 everyone's focus on how the conflict in the middle east is raising oil prices but there's

00:15:04.240 another grim reality to this contention oil isn't the only resource being constrained about one

00:15:11.260 third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region. And with spring planting season on

00:15:17.360 top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they can't afford to plant their

00:15:22.480 fields. When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know what comes next. Higher

00:15:28.360 fruit prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying. That's why having an emergency food

00:15:34.660 supply at home makes so much sense. And that's where our friends at My Patriot Supply come in.

00:16:25.820 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.

00:16:29.640 Why over the last five or six years have we written The End of the Dollar Empire,

00:16:35.940 the seven free installments the eighth installments out now it's to make sure that a working class and

00:16:40.980 middle class audience could understand the way the world works if you do not understand capital

00:16:44.740 markets uh and the central way to understand that we believe is to understand the u.s dollar as the

00:16:50.020 prime reserve currency for the total financial system of the world and gold as an alternative

00:16:55.620 or a hedge against uh the dollar's supremacy well lo and behold right here Jillian Ted today's

00:17:03.380 Financial Times, of London, right, the most powerful financial paper in the world, a massive

00:17:08.620 article about something we've talked about on this show, Fed Underwarsch could embrace

00:17:13.940 Besson's geoeconomic agenda. Where did you hear that over those years? Oh yeah, that's right,

00:17:18.680 Scott Besson is a contributor to War Room. The sub-headline is the Treasury Secretary wants to

00:17:23.700 use swap lines to, wait for it, lock in dollar supremacy. That this whole discussion on swap

00:17:32.160 lines is about locking in because obviously they're concerned about the BRICS nations concerned about

00:17:36.980 I think the implications in his Scott's testimony the other day the disorderly

00:17:42.300 sale of assets of financial assets that would be U.S. Treasury sir when Scott Besson we got

00:17:48.660 39 trillion dollar debt we got to refinance a third of that debt every year as we tell you

00:17:52.660 you got to take care of the customers and you got to make sure the petrodollar reigns supreme

00:18:00.520 Where are you going to learn about that?

00:18:01.660 End of the dollar empire.

00:18:02.680 Go talk to the folks at Birch Gold.

00:18:04.780 We live in times of financial turbulence

00:18:07.140 when the United States Central Bank,

00:18:09.900 the Federal Reserve, and the Secretary of Treasury

00:18:11.600 are talking about, and as he said,

00:18:13.640 hey, everybody in the Gulf came to us for this,

00:18:16.760 to make sure that we lock in against, 0.52

00:18:18.960 wait for it, the Chinese Communist Party. 0.73

00:18:21.440 And as Dr. Thayer said, that's what the drill is here,

00:18:23.980 is the CCP in the United States of America.

00:18:26.760 It's quite evident.

00:18:27.720 you need to talk to philip patrick and his team today birchgold.com promo code bannon end of the

00:18:34.040 dollar empire seven free installments you can order the book it's on back order if you go there

00:18:38.480 exclusively at birch gold uh the eighth free installment's out to immerse yourself think

00:18:45.760 about it chew on it get a bunch of questions and then talk to philip patrick and the team

00:18:49.760 do it today um dr thayer and get tajan here in a minute dr thayer the third carrier battle group

00:18:58.120 is there for a reason is it not sir well absolutely the third carrier battle group

00:19:05.260 is there so the amount of naval power that we've brought into to the region of course is uh almost

00:19:12.240 unrivaled uh for this area of the world you would have to go back to the wars

00:19:16.500 91 or 2003

00:19:18.560 well in 79

00:19:20.360 in 79 and 80

00:19:23.020 we had two carrier battle groups

00:19:24.860 on Gonzo Station and Camel Station

00:19:26.960 up in the North Arabian Sea but this is the close 0.98

00:19:29.080 and they're going to take it

00:19:30.300 I also want to recommend

00:19:31.580 there's a item

00:19:34.460 if we can put it up about why we got into this war

00:19:37.120 put up by the State Department

00:19:38.460 that says and I think I quote

00:19:40.540 we got into this war because we were

00:19:42.880 at the request of an ally

00:19:45.060 that was being attacked are going to be attacked.

00:19:48.000 Israel, can we get that up? 0.99

00:19:49.720 I want to make sure we got that.

00:19:51.600 There's another, there's a deeper piece

00:19:54.440 from the State Department you must read.

00:19:56.980 I want to make sure Grace and Mo push this out,

00:19:59.220 and Elizabeth pushed this out to everybody

00:20:00.880 so they can see it.

00:20:02.080 Their words, not mine.

00:20:04.860 Article yesterday in Politico

00:20:06.340 about how the West Wing thinks Marco

00:20:08.180 has just grown so much

00:20:10.000 and is such a great potential presidential candidate.

00:20:12.700 And then there's a piece in the Financial Times

00:20:14.620 this morning about where's marco like uh missing in action and so the all these articles are coming

00:20:21.780 out here's i strongly recommend in the new york times piece the other day the leak about the

00:20:26.740 national security council where they had the headline trump got us in the war how trump took

00:20:30.600 us to war let me just make an observation i think people in the west wing i'm not think it's great

00:20:38.460 right now to be leaking about and talking to the media about prospects for 2028 and who's going to

00:20:45.920 be prospects for 2028. Also, when you read the Maggie Haberman piece, it's very disheartening

00:20:51.360 to see direct quotes from J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio and General Cain basically saying, oh,

00:20:59.140 we told Trump that, you know, the intelligence, the Israelis were lying to us and this was all

00:21:04.240 farcical, but he did it anyway. And we told him about Hormuz, but he did it anyway. 0.82

00:21:08.460 yeah i don't that doesn't wash not going to work jim vander hey laid it out the democrats are

00:21:16.060 coming for us and they're coming hard don't think their 2028 is does not exist right now it's not

00:21:22.640 relevant here's what's relevant tomorrow in the next day in the next day in the next day you win

00:21:28.040 the day you win the week you win the month you win the year you win victory begets victory and

00:21:34.200 That's not what we're seeing right now.

00:21:36.580 This is certainly not what we're seeing.

00:21:38.080 The appellate court yesterday threw out the asylum.

00:21:40.600 You're going to have, unless we move quickly to the Supreme Court and get a stay over the weekend or next week, 0.83

00:21:46.540 you're going to have them all lined up down at the border again.

00:21:50.600 The appellate court threw out President Trump's ban of the asylum seekers.

00:21:56.260 So we're in it now.

00:21:58.880 And there's only one path out of here.

00:22:00.680 And people can bitch and moan and complain and point fingers about how we got here.

00:22:04.560 I got it. 0.98

00:22:05.100 I hate this war.

00:22:06.520 But we are where we are, and we got to cut our way through this, get through this, and

00:22:12.880 make sure that we can get everybody back home and refocus on what we need to focus on, which

00:22:17.460 is things like, oh, let me think, mass deportations, right?

00:22:22.040 And maybe not spending $1.5 trillion on our military.

00:22:26.760 That really helps the Saudis and Europe, all that.

00:22:30.500 Let them pay for it. And as we talk about and get set for for looks like a military operation to open up Hormuz since the blockade is working and putting young American citizens, men and women in harm's way. 0.97

00:22:46.200 We got to get those Arab princelings up. I'm tired of hearing about these guys throwing big parties on, you know, when Qatar and UAE and all these guys are throwing big parties on White House correspondents. 0.94

00:22:57.940 It doesn't wash from me.

00:22:59.840 It doesn't wash that Qatar throws the big party yesterday.

00:23:02.460 I want to see all those princelings.

00:23:04.220 I want to see them in the Middle East.

00:23:05.940 I want to see them in a uniform with a weapon in their hand. 0.99

00:23:08.360 I want to see them ready to go to the cliffs of Hormuz and take on the Persians. 0.99

00:23:14.520 That's what they should be focused on. 1.00

00:23:15.760 I'm not partying here and greasing up this town.

00:23:18.180 What's happening in the imperial capital will make you vomit. 0.78

00:23:22.000 It's absolutely revolting.

00:23:23.920 and anybody going to these parties and associating with this crowd understand you're nothing but a 0.86

00:23:30.040 traitor because you're trying to feather your bed and cut your deals and cut President Trump loose

00:23:35.840 in the MAGA movement not going to happen I saw it in Texas and I've seen in Virginia 0.97

00:23:39.760 the working class people in the backbone of this movement they're ready for a fight they're down

00:23:45.280 for a fight and we're going to have a fight so my recommendation to the West Wing not that you

00:23:50.940 the west wing you know stop the leaks stop pushing people and stop focusing on 2028 focus on tomorrow

00:24:00.220 focus on winning tomorrow and then winning this week and what that entails dr thayer uh your

00:24:08.560 thoughts on how do we how do we use the forcing function for the to the chinese communist party

00:24:13.540 because right now i do think we're kind of missing losing the plot here running around to islamabad

00:24:18.800 There's no need to go to Islamabad, I don't think. 1.00

00:24:23.280 They're jerking us around. 1.00

00:24:24.400 They want to talk to Pakistanis. 1.00

00:24:25.580 We don't need to talk to Pakistanis. 1.00

00:24:27.440 They're controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, too.

00:24:29.960 We need to have direct talks should be with Xi about how this thing gets wound down, sir.

00:24:38.960 That's right, Steve.

00:24:39.980 So what has to happen, of course, is that the costs to Beijing are considerable, but they're not sufficient yet.

00:24:47.140 We need to ensure that Xi Jinping recognizes that the longer this war goes on, the higher costs he's going to have to pay, whether the issue linkage or whether it's in terms of oil and coming out of the Hormuz, but also from the Gulf shakedoms, right, from other states as well.

00:25:09.200 We're going to have to start increasing the cost to Xi Jinping to get him to apply greater pressure to Tehran, to use his might to ensure that Tehran is getting a message from everybody that this war has to end. 0.54

00:25:26.740 They're going to have to yield on enrichment, and they're going to have to yield on the strait. 0.68

00:25:31.120 I don't think that's going to happen without having the war restarting, this conflict restarting.

00:25:39.200 uh because uh the iranians are not yet um well there are two issues there one who rules in iran

00:25:45.840 right who rules in tehran is a key part of that but um we haven't broken the wheel yet uh it 0.76

00:25:54.320 doesn't it doesn't matter it doesn't matter who they're all bad guys they're all theocrats

00:26:00.240 some are worse than others no moderates but they still report they need to be armed and they need

00:26:05.280 cash money they get armed by uh in the overland route through the chinese and we caught that

00:26:11.280 vessel the other day out there and they take cash by selling oil to the chinese communist party is

00:26:15.540 that not uh so let's as napoleon said you got a problem you can't fix scale up the problem and

00:26:21.020 deal with it there this is the scale up the problem they've shifted the center of gravity

00:26:25.120 of the battle they have the initiative they have the initiative in this war this unfortunate

00:26:29.620 statement of fact but that's reality they have the initiative and now they're jerking us around 0.76

00:26:34.640 They may come to Islamabad.

00:26:36.500 They don't know if they want to meet with us.

00:26:38.120 They're going to talk to a guy.

00:26:39.360 I think President Trump said they're going to send a list of their recommendations or their proposals.

00:26:43.400 Send it.

00:26:44.240 Let's deal with them.

00:26:44.980 But let's not get—we can't get into a thing.

00:26:46.620 We're going to fly here.

00:26:47.580 We're going to do this.

00:26:48.720 You raise them up.

00:26:49.520 It's too important.

00:26:51.160 It's kabuki.

00:26:52.060 It's theater.

00:26:52.780 It's theater.

00:26:53.700 And we need to end that, right?

00:26:55.820 I mean, it's the kabuki dance about Islamabad has got to end. 0.71

00:27:02.980 They're not serious yet, and they're not going to be serious until they're really feeling it from Beijing and they're really feeling it kinetically from the U.S.

00:27:12.540 Your point about other pathways, air routes into Iran, the land routes into Iran, too, are going to have to be watched very closely as well.

00:27:24.420 But my sense is that this is going to continue, that the conflict is going to continue, Steve. 0.98

00:27:30.360 The Iranians are not there yet. 0.99

00:27:31.800 So it's going to be Hormuz. 1.00

00:27:34.360 We're not out of there.

00:27:35.200 One way to do it is take away their leverage.

00:27:38.300 And look, I hate to go kinetic again, but folks, you may have to get there.

00:27:42.600 Dr. Thayer, where do people go to get your writings on this?

00:27:45.540 Because you're putting up great stuff all the time on social media.

00:27:48.540 Brad Thayer at X and Bradley Thayer at Getter and Truth, Steve.

00:27:51.820 And so we want to look for increasing strikes in the Hormuz area, clearly, when the conflict continues.

00:28:00.000 I just think it's going to happen.

00:28:02.280 I think President Trump, his saying is no games. 1.00

00:28:06.000 I think the Iranians think they can play games now. 1.00

00:28:08.980 I think we have to disabuse them of that idea. 1.00

00:28:12.540 Short commercial break.

00:28:13.420 Thank you, Dr. Thayer, on a Saturday morning.

00:28:15.700 I've got Joe Allen in the House Stage Guild next.

00:28:23.360 Fellow patriots, the Federal Reserve has portrayed America for over a century,

00:28:28.080 printing fiat, inflating away your savings, serving globalist masters, but President Trump

00:28:35.400 is ending it. President Trump is wielding a 112-year-old law to reclaim control from the rogue

00:28:43.620 Federal Reserve. He's replacing Jerome Powell, slashing rates, igniting America's

00:28:49.580 re-industrialization. Now, this is not theory. Government-backed industry plus low rates unleashes

00:28:55.820 super cycles. History does repeat. Gold's already exploding. Miners are up over 400 percent in the

00:29:03.340 last year. What Rickards is calling Trump's gift is wealth for American patriots, not global

00:29:10.480 handouts. Now it's America's turn. Jim Rickards, former CIA and Pentagon veteran says, act now.

00:29:19.220 Go to Insider2026.com, that is Insider2026.com, to get Jim Rickards' strategic intelligence newsletter today.

00:29:30.380 Strategic intelligence, based upon predictive analytics, it's what chairman and CEO throughout the world read, and you should too.

00:29:39.160 War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

00:29:42.440 take your phone out text ban and b-a-n-n-o-n at 989898 get the ultimate guide for investing in

00:29:49.360 gold and precious metals in the age of trump most importantly no obligation totally free

00:29:53.280 get to talk to philip patrick the team do it today they're trying to strengthen the dollar

00:29:58.540 which i i agree with i just don't think we ought to be giving any breaks to the gulf emirates

00:30:04.660 our allies

00:30:06.560 America's greatest ally

00:30:08.840 our allies

00:30:10.740 they're their allies

00:30:11.580 they're throwing big parties here in Washington D.C. 0.85

00:30:14.320 all those punks in Qatar 0.98

00:30:16.640 in that embassy ought to be over there 0.98

00:30:18.400 in camis with a weapon

00:30:20.420 doing some training right now

00:30:21.680 not sitting here whining and dining

00:30:23.300 partying non-stop

00:30:25.780 in the United States of America

00:30:27.020 who in the hell would they be here partying in our capital 0.78

00:30:28.900 it's grotesque 0.89

00:30:31.120 and if you go to those parties

00:30:32.440 and you're slamming up with them, you're part of the problem.

00:30:38.260 It's revolting.

00:30:42.920 Even as we, as Dr. Thayer punched out here

00:30:45.760 and went back to his writing and thinking about this as a geostrategist,

00:30:50.980 the New York Post is reporting, wait for it, folks.

00:30:56.140 The team, the Iranian team has left headline,

00:31:01.640 Iranian delegation leaves Pakistan without round two of peace talks with the U.S.

00:31:06.480 Okay, it's time to stop.

00:31:08.180 No more of this.

00:31:09.100 President Trump knows this.

00:31:10.100 Nothing gets him more irked than playing games.

00:31:11.920 No more games.

00:31:14.260 No more games.

00:31:15.520 We're in this thing.

00:31:17.420 You've got to figure out how to get it to a place that we can come home.

00:31:21.640 And I think that may revolve around Hormuz.

00:31:26.420 Tej Gill, there'll be guys like you that'll get sent in.

00:31:30.040 And it won't be the princelings. And by the way, how does that sit with you, Tej, knowing you spent 16 tours in places, bad neighborhoods like that?

00:31:37.280 The Qataris are over here partying, whining and dining. 1.00

00:31:40.440 Thousands of people going to their eve of the White House Correspondents dinner. 1.00

00:31:45.360 So all the people attacking Trump all day long are partying with them over there.

00:31:48.820 And let me be blunt, a bunch of Republicans are there partying with them.

00:31:52.500 What guys like you are on those Navy vessels getting ready to go in.

00:31:56.140 yeah they should be over there they should be on the front lines um i think i think reopening

00:32:02.840 the strait is going to be a tough task getting all the mines out and then there are there's

00:32:08.560 hypersonic missiles and caves all along those cliffs on the persian gulf and then you know

00:32:13.580 you have the iranian drones the shaheed drones so if we can figure out figure out a way to defeat

00:32:19.180 the drones and uh basically we we have two options you know either militarily bomb them 0.98

00:32:25.700 back to the stone age into submission if they submit or you know continue with these peace 0.53

00:32:32.060 talks and i think try to make a deal but you got two options either to get to she and beijing and 0.80

00:32:37.600 say we got cut this crap out you need to put some pressure on these guys and stop it and we'll work 0.94

00:32:43.020 to open the straits because you're the one bitching and moaning about it or we got to go in 0.98

00:32:47.220 yeah i think it's going to be those are the two things and i hope we don't have to do the latter

00:32:52.320 yeah i think i think it'll be a tough tasking that uh straight tough back open not impossible

00:32:58.800 but tough i think you know because we're gonna have to demine it that's that's a big thing and

00:33:02.560 then they're gonna have drones and hypersonic missiles playing around while we're demining it

00:33:06.860 so either like i said either bomb them back into submission which who knows how long that'll take

00:33:13.220 or if because all they have to do is survive and they've created basically a subterranean country 0.76

00:33:18.160 over there with huge ammunition depots and they have factories underground so bomb them into

00:33:23.800 submission or make a deal i think that's it tase you've made me need a big pot of coffee as soon

00:33:29.860 as i get out of here where what's the best coffee i can get to make sure i have a great rest of my

00:34:51.880 this morning being on with us thank you steve thank you for having me on gets us jacked up

00:34:57.360 early in the morning, the 5 a.m. hour.

00:35:02.080 Joe Allen, there's a huge event taking place this week

00:35:05.340 in a special session being called by Ron DeSantis for the redistricting,

00:35:08.820 and that's going to be a flat-out fight, dogfight.

00:35:11.840 Also, the Commonwealth Virginia folks will cover it on Monday

00:35:14.920 at their Supreme Court, I think appellate court right now.

00:35:17.980 I'm not sure it's at the Supreme Court.

00:35:19.720 The huge fight will carry that.

00:35:21.960 DeSantis called a special session.

00:35:23.600 However, he's got two things in the special session,

00:35:26.760 or at least two. The other is this bill, the AI bill. This morning, Wall Street Journal's

00:35:32.180 reporting certain staff over the White House are not happy with that, and they're fighting

00:35:36.940 nonstop to restrict these bills. We're forced to have these, Joe Allen, because of the simple

00:35:46.300 fact that they haven't put forward a regulatory apparatus yet, a regulatory proposal that has

00:35:52.800 even a modicum of a chance to support people have to understand and they should understand

00:35:56.760 85 percent of their followers of our political muscle here hates totally unregulated ai correct

00:36:04.540 i mean you you you've now dedicated your life to this sir yeah the polling shows across the board

00:36:11.180 the american public is very very uneasy about ai to say the least depending on the poll you'll

00:36:18.160 either find a large minority or a majority that are absolutely put out with it. They want nothing

00:36:24.120 to do with it. It goes from education to culture. It goes to economics. So the voters are absolutely

00:36:31.360 on the side of those trying to, at the very least, regulate AI, if not restrict AI. But,

00:36:37.680 you know, as we've reported, as Elizabeth Mitchell of Daily Signal has been reporting

00:36:43.740 for some time amazing uh the white house is basically making every effort to nuke state

00:36:50.300 level ai bills from orbit and this happened in florida this happened in utah it's happening in

00:36:56.140 nebraska tennessee missouri as the wall street journal reported so the white house and the

00:37:04.060 advisors driving this are absolutely pushing an agenda that is emanating out of silicon valley

00:37:11.580 emanating out of wealth. They are relying on these massive war chests, these super PACs,

00:37:18.600 to support their side of the argument, which is basically AI should be unregulated or the

00:37:23.840 regulation should be tailored as lightly as possible. It should be a light touch approach.

00:37:28.060 On the other hand, you have the state level approach and the municipal approach against

00:37:32.320 the data centers in which when you hear the citizenry out, the citizenry either wants

00:37:37.640 restriction or in the case of, for instance, the data centers, a total ban, at least in their

00:37:42.720 communities? What where do we stand? Because they've taken a couple of shots and now Sachs

00:37:49.940 is gone. Where do we actually stand with trying to have a coming together on some sort of

00:37:56.060 regulatory apparatus at the federal level? I do agree. What you don't want is 50 different

00:38:02.100 regulations or regulatory apparatuses in the 50 states. But the states and particularly

00:38:07.580 guys like DeSantis, who's not a guy that fools around, right? You can see on this redistricting, 0.75

00:38:13.640 Ron DeSantis is a very serious guy, terrible presidential candidate, made a huge mistake

00:38:18.620 in trying to primary President Trump, but I think a solid governor. And he knows the priorities are

00:38:23.960 obviously it's better to have a federal apparatus, a federal, some sort of federal regulation

00:38:30.080 framework, but there's no meeting in the middle. They continue to try to jam this thing where

00:38:36.060 there's essentially no regulation whatsoever the kids all the stuff's put back on the parents

00:38:41.160 it's just not going to work they had three epic fails these aren't small fails these are epic

00:38:46.100 fails to try to do this are they learning as you're dealing in this and dealing particularly

00:38:51.100 in this city they're setting up packs and things like that to try to discipline people

00:38:55.120 and get buy votes but is there any any idea now that sacks is gone that andreason or carp or the

00:39:03.440 these guys are listening to anybody well they seem to be listening to the investors and the

00:39:09.680 executives but you know with sacks gone the big question is who the next ais are will be and there

00:39:16.500 are a lot of names floating around is it's going to be carp that's what i hear uh and if so then

00:39:21.800 you can that's not that's not an upgrade no by that no means whatsoever adds the surveillance

00:39:27.560 state does it not that's certainly his interest and he's going to be you can bet serving the

00:39:31.820 interest of those allies he has among the tech oligarchs. He'll probably try to push aside

00:39:36.560 people, perhaps people like Dario Amadei at Anthropic. But, you know, who knows? The partnership

00:39:43.020 between Palantir and Anthropic is clear with the Maven smart system. So it's actually an open

00:39:48.680 question, but you can be sure of this. Karp is not going to be sympathetic to those who want to

00:39:52.680 restrict or ban AI or any kind of downstream effects of AI. Doesn't Mythos review and the way

00:39:59.340 it kind of came onto the scene out of nowhere, prove our point that there has to be some sort

00:40:04.800 of like atomic energy commission as it was new. There has to be something because you're going

00:40:08.700 to continue. This is not the last time it's going to happen. It's the first time you're

00:40:12.140 going to see an acceleration of that. Yeah, I think I actually think that the the whole gamut

00:40:16.480 from municipal, from local to state level to federal is going to be necessary. I mean,

00:40:21.560 these state laws are going to remain in effect unless you have federal legislation that preempts

00:40:27.380 So that whole patchwork, so to speak, I think is actually going to be really important because it's going to speak to local and regional communities as opposed to this one overarching federal thing.

00:40:37.360 But in regard to something like Anthropic and Mythos, you know, you've got this massive neural network, this large language model that was designed to code and is capable of finding vulnerabilities and exploiting those vulnerabilities across the board.

00:40:51.940 It's extremely dangerous.

00:40:53.460 Now, Anthropic made the decision not to release it except to certain corporations like NVIDIA, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services.

00:41:01.120 But in the future, you don't have that.

00:41:02.580 I feel so great. Those are the guys I would want to really.

00:41:05.740 And they were hacked. Reportedly, they were hacked and hackers had access to mythos for some length of time.

00:41:11.900 So I think that it is reasonable if you can staff an agency like the Department of Energy with AI experts who understand the technology and work with people who have worked in surveillance and monitoring and regulation of nuclear material.

00:41:26.220 And the reason for the audience, the reason you do it through the Department of Energy, they control the weapons labs or what we call the national labs.

00:41:33.420 Yes.

00:41:33.780 And the national labs, the weapons labs are central to this entire evolution of this, correct?

00:41:39.060 Yes. And then you have other proposals, like we reported with Sam Altman and OpenAI. They would prefer that it's the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, Casey, which is, as we talked about then, kind of a nascent organization. And so perhaps, pure speculation, but perhaps Altman and the fellows at OpenAI are eyeing that agency because it would be easier to control.

00:42:02.780 OK, when we come back, I'm going to ask the question now. I'll give you a second to chew on it. You just said preemption. They are still pushing. You say there's going to be a patchwork or some sort of ecosystem of various state regulations and local municipal regulations.

00:42:18.480 But they're driving force and focus in the in the in the reason for the Wall Street Journal.

00:42:25.000 They lead to the Wall Street Journal is that they are pushing still a total preemption where they get some something passed up here that preempts that and makes the federal law the supremacy.

00:42:38.800 It's supreme to everything else. That's their goal.

00:42:41.460 OK, take a short break here. Joanne is going to stick with us. 1.00

00:42:45.660 Also, we're going to get Mike Lindell, another situation up in Minnesota,

00:42:49.540 where the public schools are offering, they won't put the Ten Commandments up,

00:42:54.540 and they will never put a cross up, but guess what?

00:42:56.740 They're going to set aside space in public schools in Minnesota for Muslim prayer rooms, believe it or not.

00:43:04.560 Okay, short commercial break.

00:43:06.520 Financial Times Day, we'll get this out, where it all becomes clear on those swap lines

00:43:12.660 to our Arab allies in the Gulf is all to, as they quote in the sub-headline,

00:43:18.680 lock in dollar supremacy in the petrodollar. 0.82

00:43:21.600 That's where you've got to get the end of the dollar empire.

00:43:24.540 Birchgold.com, promo code Bannon.

00:43:26.560 Start at the beginning at 7.

00:43:28.220 It'll take you a weekend to chew through it, think about it.

00:43:31.940 It's all free, no obligation.

00:43:33.320 You get to talk to Philip Patrick and the team at Birch Gold.

00:43:38.720 The American health care system is broken.

00:43:41.300 And for most Americans, nothing changes.

00:43:44.680 There's still delays, denials, high-cost insurance roadblocks.

00:43:48.820 So when I find people doing things differently, I talk about it.

00:43:53.760 All-Family Pharmacy is not your typical big-chain pharmacy.

00:43:57.820 This is an independent, family-owned pharmacy that gives you access to over 400 medications delivered straight to your door.

00:44:05.740 They've got ivermectin, antibiotics, antivirals, NAD+,

00:44:11.440 even your daily maintenance medications, and so much more.

00:44:15.840 If you already have a prescription, your doctor can send it directly.

00:44:19.620 If you don't, their doctors handle it.

00:44:22.320 As long as there is a medical necessity, they'll take care of you.

00:44:26.820 And I'll tell you this, the feedback from people listening to this show

00:44:29.500 and watching has been incredibly strong.

00:44:32.620 People are using it.

00:44:33.720 It's working for them, and they're sticking with it.

00:44:36.320 That's because it cuts out the delays, the middlemen, and all the usual nonsense.

00:44:41.760 This is about being ready before you need it.

00:44:45.900 Go to allfamilypharmacy.com.

00:44:48.060 That's all one word, allfamilypharmacy.com slash Bannon,

00:44:51.860 and use code Bannon10 to save 10%.

00:44:55.240 The health care system is broken.

00:44:58.100 Your pharmacy doesn't have to be.

00:45:01.440 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

00:45:06.240 Okay, we slammed for time.

00:45:07.760 So, bottom line is they are trying to push for this preemption.

00:45:11.260 We're fighting this, more on that, during the week.

00:45:15.300 We said when you first came on here five years ago, four or five years ago,

00:45:19.180 transhumanism, you're an editor,

00:45:20.980 because all the oligarchs think about is living eternal life.

00:45:25.620 This is what they focus on.

00:45:26.860 Why? Because they're godless, atheistic demons. 1.00

00:45:30.560 They want eternal life.

00:45:32.260 Karen Switzer, the great tech reporter, now is a running show on a limited series, I think,

00:45:39.180 on looking for eternal life.

00:45:41.260 And she's dialed into all the tech guys.

00:45:43.300 This is what she does every week.

00:45:45.060 They got this article.

00:45:46.500 Was it Wall Street Journal?

00:45:47.580 New York Times Magazine.

00:45:48.580 New York Times Magazine talking about all their focus on is eternal life.

00:45:52.640 You don't think this makes them dangerous, folks?

00:45:54.600 Joe Allen.

00:45:55.340 Yeah.

00:45:55.440 Mark O'Connell did a fantastic job putting together really a who's who in the current immortality scene.

00:46:02.860 The article is entitled The Rich and Powerful Want to Live Forever. What if they could?

00:46:08.580 And I encourage the art of the audience to read it and read it to the end.

00:46:12.180 But, you know, he's jumping off of Putin and Xi having the conversation on their way to Tiananmen Square.

00:46:17.380 You heard it. You heard it. They opened the hot mic.

00:46:19.500 Yes. And they're talking about, you know, with science being at the level it is today,

00:46:24.260 soon, perhaps, will be living forever. And I mean, this is really, this idea has suffused

00:46:29.580 Silicon Valley, you know, and this article, it's a fantastic piece, and it falls into a longstanding

00:46:34.440 genre. One of the best examples of the genre, the genre of immortality tech, the great mambo chicken

00:46:42.160 and the transhuman condition by Ed Regis, and that's from 1990. And at the time, Ed Regis is

00:46:47.420 going around to different scientists looking at their projects, right? It's pretty fringe at that

00:46:52.280 point. By the time I started, you know, reporting and writing on this five years ago, you already

00:46:57.620 had people like Peter Thiel. You had people like Jeff Bezos, Ray Kurzweil, Martin Rothblatt,

00:47:04.820 all of these people pushing towards immortality tech. And these aren't I mean, they may be a bit

00:47:09.440 fringe to the regular audience. But at this point, it's Putin and Xi. You don't get much more

00:47:15.240 mainstream than that. Peter Thiel's trying to run the West Wing. Come on. This is this behind the

00:47:19.420 facade of everything they're doing on AI and to take absolute control of your life, absolute

00:47:24.020 control. The sociopathic overlords, as Ben Harnmore calls them, are focused primarily on extending

00:47:30.980 their life forever, not yours. What's wild is that dichotomy, though, between this obsession with

00:47:36.800 using AI to improve health, to monitor the body, to come up with cures, and then extend life

00:47:41.700 basically forever. So you have eternal life on the one hand, but then there's the obsession with

00:47:45.920 human extinction. And so you've got total death on the other. These extremes, look, I agree with

00:47:52.460 Mark O'Connell. I've said it many times. I said it in Dark Aeon. These people are not going to

00:47:56.800 live forever. If you look at Ray Kurzweil today, it's not looking too hot for immortality. And as

00:48:03.140 they die off, I think people will be much less inclined to push in these directions. But right

00:48:07.600 now, it's like a death cult. I cannot disagree with you more. I'm not saying this first wave

00:48:12.160 is going to live forever but the the demons that follow them this is but here's the reason

00:48:16.880 they want to live forever they don't care about you and they don't care about your life right

00:48:21.980 they want to replace you with a robot with a machine to cut costs and on and elon's going

00:48:26.860 to give you a tip he's going to give you universal basic game because we give you 15 000 a year hey

00:48:31.580 elon here's what we're going to get we're going to get direct equity ownership not by the government

00:48:35.740 but by u.s citizens 50 of every one of these companies stock goes to u.s citizens it gets

00:48:41.680 divvied up and you get and become an equity holder you're not getting some tip on universal basic

00:48:46.640 income that's an insult now that now we're saying it's universal high level income they're gonna

00:48:51.180 they're gonna double your slave weight they're gonna make you serve for twice as much speaking

00:48:55.420 of elon musk and xi jinping and china one of the best parts of the article that mcconnell wrote

00:49:01.080 is looking at the 24 histories in china the histories of the the dynasties and he points out

00:49:07.340 that during the Tang Dynasty, like 7th to 10th century AD,

00:49:12.000 that during the Tang Dynasty, you had no less than six emperors

00:49:15.900 who drank the concoctions of their Taoist alchemists and died.

00:49:20.540 Died immediately.

00:49:21.920 Yes, and I think that that's probably indicative of where this is going.

00:49:25.920 Okay, where do people go to get your ranks?

00:49:27.460 This guy's on a crusade now.

00:49:28.940 One of the most important people in this country is Joe Allen

00:49:31.500 fighting this every day here in the imperial capital.

00:49:33.760 Where do they go?

00:49:34.220 Keep up at JoeBot.XYZ and at J-O-E-B-O-T-X-Y-Z on X.

00:49:40.120 If you get a chance to see Joe Allen live, take it.

00:49:43.300 It's an experience like no other.

00:49:45.020 He'll work the crowd, and you'll get not just a selfie, but you'll get to really meet him.

00:49:48.840 Joe Allen, thank you so much, brother.

00:49:50.320 Thanks, Steve.

00:49:50.640 Always fantastic.

00:49:52.180 Mike Lindell, Minnesota, why are you allowing, sir, Muslim prayer rooms in public schools

00:50:01.120 when he can't have a Ten Commandments or a cross or anybody, any kid praying there for Christianity, sir?

00:50:09.560 Yeah, isn't this something, everybody?

00:50:11.860 Remember a few years ago and right before we went in for the virus, I spoke at the Rose Garden.

00:50:16.720 I said a nation had turned its back on God.

00:50:18.860 We had taken God out of our schools and we need to get back in the word and back with our families. 1.00

00:50:24.520 And Steve, they want to replace God with Islam. 0.96

00:50:28.340 And Minnesota, I said back then, was the Trojan horse for Islam and the invasion of Minnesota, in which it is. 0.99

00:50:36.620 You had what's going on right now, Osceola schools, they just voted to bring in Islam inside the classrooms. 0.99

00:50:43.360 And this is 20 minutes from where I grew up, where my kids went to school.

00:50:47.580 It's five minutes from my Christian church. 0.98

00:50:50.300 This is horrific.

00:50:52.600 Steve, one of the things when I'm governor, I'm going to be fighting this.

00:50:55.780 it is um this is my one of my number one things you go to mike lindell gov.com everybody remember

00:51:02.700 waltz has bragged on jimmy kimmel that we're minnesota nice and we do all this well there's

00:51:07.320 a difference between nice and stupid i mean this is this is where we're at this we have to fight 0.95

00:51:13.440 this head on i talked to the teachers in minnesota and yeah they have a thing where part of their 0.99

00:51:19.140 wages go to fund these no king rallies and stuff and they're afraid to sign the sheet to get off

00:51:24.360 of that. They said they have problems in the

00:51:26.400 classrooms, but there's no discipline.

00:51:28.640 And now you have putting in these 0.96

00:51:30.200 prayer rooms to interrupt the class during

00:51:32.240 the day. Steve, it's absolutely

00:51:34.140 disgusting. And I'm going to fight 0.99

00:51:36.380 it. I think I'm the only Republican

00:51:38.100 that even has the courage to say, 1.00

00:51:40.180 you need to ban Sharia law. 1.00

00:51:42.580 We need to have this head on. 1.00
