Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 768： Texas DPS Agents Sabotage The Trump Border Policy

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

00:00:10.600 medieval on these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people

00:00:17.180 the people have had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do

00:00:21.360 everything in the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and

00:00:24.700 where do people like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of

00:00:32.520 these people had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer

00:00:39.640 is to save my country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k van

00:00:48.040 wednesday 14 may year of our lord 2025 thank you uh for sticking around for the second hour of our

00:00:58.760 late afternoon early evening edition of the war room this is pretty packed today so no big cold

00:01:04.620 opener we get on with it we have tom dans last time we talked with tom he was in greenland now he's in

00:01:10.600 romania why are you in romania tom the the election that takes place on on sunday why should anybody in

00:01:17.240 the war room posse uh care about this sir sure hey steve great to be with you great to be with

00:01:23.320 the posse uh yeah so romania is going to be big this is the one of the key first steps in what you're

00:01:29.740 going to see is a movement from east to west in europe of populist nationalist groups coming to power

00:01:36.220 if everything goes right on sunday recall this is the kind of the fourth bite at the apple here for

00:01:41.660 the romanian people each time sending a very clear signal that they want change and what they have 0.99

00:01:47.840 here in uh the leader of i'm coming to you from the headquarters of the aur party george simeon a 38

00:01:56.080 year old uh newcomer to politics but an outsider uh is is looking to take the helm he had a very convincing

00:02:04.120 win uh two weeks ago uh in basically the way they run things a two-round uh system here so the top two

00:02:11.860 vote getters proceed to a runoff uh but he garnered 41 percent of the national vote verse uh fellow who had

00:02:19.700 21 percent who's basically the mayor of bucharest it's a he's a neo-marxist kind of being rebranded as a

00:02:27.300 centrist you've seen this movie before but again this is the final act in what was uh something we

00:02:34.000 know about well in the u.s which was courts getting involved to override the will of the voters which is

00:02:39.480 what happened in december when uh his predecessor kalen georgescu won commandingly in the first round

00:02:47.500 they were then the elections were then canceled by something called a constitutional court not to be

00:02:53.300 confused with the supreme court here uh but basically sent them back to square one when they didn't like

00:02:59.700 uh the outcome of the election charging russia russia russia uh and and sending things back to where

00:03:06.280 they are right now so we're looking for history to be made romania's got big challenges in front of it

00:03:11.340 again just lost him just froze okay yeah yeah we'll try to reboot him uh let's try to reboot him

00:03:22.680 and the question is is this going to be any different than what happened when uh chisjescu won

00:03:28.960 what six months ago and the eu just decided to steal it and shut it down george simeon we've had him on

00:03:33.620 the show a number of times had him at cpac poso did this incredible interview with him the other day

00:03:37.940 uh pretty commanding lead but they're very concerned about voter integrity there we'll get uh

00:03:43.700 tom back up in a minute i want to go to dave walsh dave two things are happening i want to get to the

00:03:48.880 middle east in a moment i've got pesak or well lucky is going to join us um to talk about what's

00:03:54.580 happening in israel in the middle east and i think your uh analysis of these huge energy deals and what

00:03:59.360 we're talking about in the middle east will segue into that but first i gotta go my mind my head's

00:04:04.360 blowing up because of kind of green new deal and other energy things i don't see getting ripped out

00:04:11.600 in in the big beautiful bill in fact i just read something i think it was tom massey was saying that

00:04:16.600 some of the corporate underwriting for some of this green new deal nonsense is going to go on for

00:04:20.740 another years and years and years what in the hell is happening right now with all the energy side

00:04:25.720 that's in the uh the big beautiful bill sir well our ways and means committee does want to take an axe

00:04:31.940 to the 42 billion a year of incentives for wind solar and plus we have battery storage carbon capture

00:04:37.680 nuclear on top of that they want to take an axe to that however we've got seven rhino republicans

00:04:44.020 gang of seven in the senate if you might have said specifically kramer north dakota hoven north

00:04:50.320 dakota theme there murkowski curtis tillis moran and capito west virginia republicans all opposed from

00:04:59.280 one sort or another to any abolition of the incentives to corporate entities on wind solar battery storage

00:05:05.260 carbon capture and nuclear now basically positing that you know you know we can't do economic

00:05:11.000 development we can't do r d in this country without government support nonsense government

00:05:16.240 doesn't need to be involved in nuclear power incentives in in geothermal incentives in wind

00:05:21.840 solar battery storage or any incentives that's what this is about the people can't afford this

00:05:26.680 taxpayers can't afford this the budget deficit is huge the incentives and all this stuff collectively

00:05:32.160 are borderline 80 80 billion per year when you account for the nuclear incentives to keep operating

00:05:38.420 fleets prosperous against horrible rto pricing allowing renewables to be priced so cheaply so

00:05:45.240 we've got basically a gang of seven in the senate republican rhinos have already spoken out on the 0.56

00:05:51.240 abolition of any incentives that are all about 100 chinese solar 100 chinese battery storage being

00:05:57.300 imported here and oh by the way the fact that if we're going to have small nuclear reactors we can

00:06:02.320 only have them if government stands behind the research and behind incentivizing operating nuclear

00:06:07.540 plants because the recipients of these incentives are in this order kind of companies exxon mobil

00:06:13.060 constellation energy duke energy next era companies abroad iberdrola edf bp royal dutch shell and

00:06:20.860 orsted are the massive recipients of u.s renewable incentives the solar and battery part entirely going to china

00:06:29.320 for the chinaization of a very high cost american electricity supply that cannot support cannot

00:06:36.060 support regrowth and reshoring of industry here at the present cost of solar wind power and battery

00:06:41.640 storage hold on hang on hang on hang on hang on well slow down so are you telling me that these senators

00:06:48.780 and guys in the house are fighting to keep these substantive corporations and that some of this is

00:06:53.200 actually going to underwrite the chinese communist parties industries is that the implication you're

00:06:59.040 making sir that that's the direct line 87 percent of the battery storage imported into this country

00:07:05.780 all of it and 87 percent of the thin film pv solar panels are made in china are made in china that fact

00:07:13.560 remains with all due respect to the fact that we may solve our trade issues with them those products

00:07:19.180 are made in china those products are going to drive up electricity cost here by a factor of four or five

00:07:23.960 times and they're causing a massive massive shortage of electricity the president cabal opposed to

00:07:29.960 dismantling these incentives appears to be in the senate the aforementioned senators all republicans

00:07:35.260 standing up opposed to any rapid dismantlement of these huge incentives which are by the way all

00:07:42.740 about benefiting the rich we're talking about equity cap corporations all exceeding a hundred billion

00:07:48.780 each receiving the lion's share of this money to incentivize solar wind and battery storage along

00:07:54.760 with carbon capture the incentives go to the corporate elite the high high capex uh and equity

00:08:02.160 cap firms on wall street and abroad who are the big investors but that's where those incentives go

00:08:07.500 for a second i thought i thought the theory of the case full spectrum energy dominance with trump i thought

00:08:12.160 the theory of the case is that the net zero carbon capture the decarbonization thing i thought that trump

00:08:18.240 we're going to get to the middle east in a second i thought president trump is like that's that's that's

00:08:23.640 the radical cult that's running germany we ain't doing that here how does that fit trump is adamant

00:08:30.240 about this why do we have these centers why are the why are these things not shut down immediately i'm kind

00:08:35.800 of missing how this can how we even can be discussing this sir well because steve the power of greed

00:08:43.100 overways president trump's good intentions on this corporate donors next era

00:08:49.100 iberdrola edf orsted all these firms that are massive corporate donors here into packs

00:08:55.480 are having their sway over seven seven republican senators who have stood up and said we're not

00:09:01.840 going to be reducing any carbon capture wind solar battery storage incentives anytime soon

00:09:07.640 seven republicans in the senate who are heavily impacted go posse go look it up go look who

00:09:14.360 donates to these people you'll see these names prominently on their list next era included

00:09:19.040 all about their they're now their corporate welfare is tied into the incentivization of their energy

00:09:25.500 device procurement from the federal government this is this this greed the greed for this money

00:09:31.060 and for the enormous profits being made on these uh part-time regulated energy systems that are

00:09:37.600 sapping u.s electricity supply the greed on this is so high that that that seems to overweigh what

00:09:43.760 the president wants in the eyes of these seven senators backing this two of whom by the way are

00:09:48.580 represent north dakota can i get can we get can you slowly give us a seven again

00:09:54.940 north dakota kramer and hoven alaska murkowski utah curtis tillis north north carolina believe jerry moran

00:10:06.160 and shelley morcopito west virginia all locked and loaded that we must have these incentives to

00:10:11.940 retain the u.s manufacturing that they cause which is nonsense because incentives that drive up

00:10:18.500 electricity cost here by five or six times as a factor are creating net zero value jobs we don't

00:10:25.300 need jobs creating that kind of electrification and also she's indicating that emergent emerging

00:10:30.820 technology like nuclear and uh and geothermal must be maintained government doesn't need to be

00:10:37.720 maintaining incentivizing development of technology that's not the role of government now as we roll

00:10:43.540 is this all going to be stripped out of the house bill and they're asking for it where do we stand with

00:10:48.500 the big beautiful bill as you see it now through the energy against commerce committee where do these

00:10:53.620 things exactly what you're talking about where they stand are they going to be out of the house bill

00:10:57.740 these guys are asking back for it or are they going to be in the house bill well the seven seem to be

00:11:03.940 drawing a line in the sand don't bring us a house bill a big beautiful bill that includes any rapid

00:11:10.040 deconstruction of these incentives that are coming at an enormous cost to u.s taxpayers they've drawn a

00:11:16.900 line in the sand the seven i mentioned so there's a present debate between the ways and means committee on

00:11:22.240 the house side and the seven that the the ways and means committee on our side does want to

00:11:27.220 demolish these incentives in accordance with president trump's wishes the seven senators who

00:11:32.700 are republicans are saying hey not so fast we don't want to do this and they don't want to do this because

00:11:37.960 of pack donations they receive let's be very direct and blunt about this let's be right on you know

00:11:42.900 right out in the open about why this occurs these firms are massive donors to the seven affected folks

00:11:47.940 that's how things work to cut cut a good senator uh or a good senator of wisconsin comment to the

00:11:54.440 quick that's the why of this we get it we know we know that's why this happens this is happening in

00:11:59.180 texas as we speak the major defenders against the good legislation the texas house wants to put forward

00:12:04.680 making companies install full-time energy with their batteries and solar making an installed baseload

00:12:11.480 on-demand dispatchable energy along with that the opponents are now exxon mobile and the oil companies

00:12:17.360 they're so heavily invested in greenwashing their their equity position on stuff like carbon

00:12:22.740 capture they don't want they don't want texas to step forward forcing a fair market for combined

00:12:29.140 cycle gas versus wind and solar by demolishing incentive wow advantages there the oil companies

00:12:34.920 don't want to do this even they're major donors they're huge donors they're on board with the

00:12:38.880 net zero d carb mantra for the country

00:12:41.920 unbelievable

00:12:43.420 uh i'm not going to do a call to action i want to get you back on here when i think about this

00:12:49.820 tonight we're going to figure this out this this is a big one but i want to go to the middle east

00:12:53.720 um president trump historic speech so much going on there one of the underlying things this was a

00:13:01.120 business meeting for deals not just technology and things but also energy brought me through your

00:13:05.640 assessment of what we've seen so far well it's a fantastic endorsement of his presidency the the

00:13:12.380 greeting he received from the royal family was unprecedented in terms of their traditional ways

00:13:17.440 i've spent a lot of time over there in large operations i had in westinghouse in in saudi um

00:13:23.500 fantastic reception for him and basically a huge huge commitment to the u.s economy in 600 billion

00:13:30.480 and being committed over time in private sector investments by by the royal family through its

00:13:36.080 numerous enterprises aramco savik swick and other saudi enterprises over here um the energy part is

00:13:43.300 is curious a fair portion of it unfortunately does right now relate to uh renewables and aramco and the

00:13:50.860 royal family's greenwashing efforts on on the one side um would be an opportunity i think to entice 0.93

00:13:58.000 investment such as we have with nippon in the steel industry in things that we no longer have

00:14:03.900 domestic interest in investing in such as combined cycle gas-fired power plants that might be a good

00:14:10.540 place for inviting the uh the saudi investment into more aggressively capitalizing on federal lands be it

00:14:18.400 at tba be it at the savannah riverside be it in uh the air force base down here in tampa necessary

00:14:25.440 combined cycle plants for the u.s deployment of rapid baseload continuous duty power plants

00:14:31.380 that the private sector for some reason appears to be foot dragging on building because those things

00:14:36.980 aren't incented like solar and wind that might be a good avenue of addition to this program or inside

00:14:42.260 of this program of investment targeting areas that um that we've for some reason have uh disincented the

00:14:48.940 private sector and utilities from investing in that which is basically necessary here

00:14:53.000 base load continuous duty power and of a gas-fired nature so there's there's some tweaks but no

00:14:58.820 overall a fantastic benefit for the economy piled on top of the trillions the president is already

00:15:04.400 attracted from from japan from taiwan and other other nations this is really going to be an

00:15:10.200 exceptional thing the energy part could be could be jiggered a little bit but overall what is your

00:15:15.520 assessment what do you set what's your assessment just back of the envelope of how much energy

00:15:20.260 energy has dropped energy costs have dropped uh in the 100 and some days of the trump uh second term

00:15:27.500 well gasoline costs at the bumper down about uh about 10 to 12 percent from day one great gasoline

00:15:35.020 costs at the bumper only about uh you know 15 percent of all in u.s energy electricity cost is about half

00:15:41.860 of it electricity costs have remained very high and they've actually gone up another they've

00:15:46.520 flipped up another 10 percent since january because of the embeddedness of the present ongoing investment

00:15:53.700 commitments by major u.s utilities in very expensive solar and battery storage is basically the only

00:16:00.900 weapon of choice that they're investing in going forward unless and until these incentives are

00:16:06.020 dismantled so you look at the 2025 electrification capex planned for the country by u.s utilities 91 percent of

00:16:14.300 that is solar and battery storage so the utilities and industry are marching along with the net zero

00:16:20.340 decarbonization momentum it hasn't changed yet we've got to throw our bodies in front of it

00:16:26.140 to have a more meaningful impact on all in energy costs of all type not just gasoline gasoline is a small

00:16:33.540 element of it electricity is 45 percent of energy cost in the country it's headed the other direction

00:16:39.460 gone up 42 percent since uh biden's inauguration through now through now unabated electric electricity

00:16:46.780 cost in the country because of this as i projected in this forum yeah commitment to solar wind and 0.87

00:16:52.600 batteries that are very very costly it's it's very it's it's it's a it's a it's a radical ridiculous

00:16:58.500 cult this is what you bring in germany to its knees uh dave walsh uh i want to put some media 0.88

00:17:03.020 this bone i'll talk to you afterwards where do people go on your uh on your social media sir

00:23:35.820 policies, putting sanctions on Iran, as President Trump mentioned. They're wiping out ISIS, taking

00:23:41.400 out Soleimani, sending the message that the bad activity will not be tolerated, and bringing the

00:23:47.100 Gulf states, the Saudis, the moderate Arab states who want engagement and prosperity and that type

00:23:54.720 of cooperation with the West, bringing them into the American orbit. And then along came the Biden

00:24:00.280 administration. And by lifting the sanctions on Iran and basically cozying up to them,

00:24:07.580 they drove the Saudis and the Gulf states into the hands of the Chinese Communist Party, who looked 0.99

00:24:12.320 suspiciously at the United States and looked at them as a fair-weather friend. And that enriched 0.73

00:24:18.900 Iran. They started selling their oil again. They signed a 25-year cooperation deal with the Chinese

00:24:23.580 Communist Party. And then we ended up having, as President Trump just mentioned, Hamas and Hezbollah

00:24:30.820 and all the rest. And the Saudis became an important part of the BRICS nations, which was really designed

00:24:37.160 to take down the U.S. dollar. They really were not very trusting of the Americans. And President Trump

00:24:42.420 is now trying to rebuild those relationships and to pull the Saudis back into the American orbit, 0.99

00:24:48.620 to pull the Gulf states back into the American orbit. The big loser in all this, hopefully, 1.00

00:24:52.980 is the Chinese Communist Party. And at the same time, critical to all of this is the Iranian regime.

00:24:58.680 And that's why there was such a great round of applause when he said what he said there about

00:25:02.460 the fact that Iran cannot have, or the policy that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

00:25:08.520 You know, I guess we'll talk about it more after a break.

00:25:10.780 No, no, we're going to break, but real quickly, why did the media, they did not cover that part of it

00:25:16.540 all, which was one of the most important parts of the speech, the thunderous applause he got from the Arab

00:25:21.720 nations about Trump saying, there's no way that Iran's ever going to have a nuclear weapon on my

00:25:27.240 watch. Why was that not reported by anybody, sir?

00:25:32.000 That's a question I can't answer, Steve. I'm in Israel. And here it was, it was the top line of

00:25:36.720 the coverage of Trump's speech. You know, it could have to do with, it could have to do with what I

00:25:42.280 just mentioned there, that this is really rolling back the mistakes of the Biden administration. And that

00:25:47.200 was central to it, but we'll talk about it more. There's a, there's a Saudi interest in this.

00:25:50.820 It's very significant here.

00:25:53.020 Perfect. Rabbi, hang on for one second. We're going to take a short commercial break. Birchgold.com,

00:25:58.600 end of the dollar empire. The rabbi just talked about it. The BRICS nations are meeting on July 6th

00:30:48.280 Welcome back, Rabbi. So, Rabbi, you mentioned 17, which I was one of the guys put the trip

00:31:00.180 together and we'd set Riyadh, Jerusalem, and Rome. As you know, we had a little fracas when we got

00:31:06.040 there because the central part of going was basically to get an understanding, and we had

00:31:10.620 worked on this for months, of tariff financing. We get there. We had these meetings. We got a

00:31:15.120 memory of understanding. MBZ's all over to sign it. The Saudis are all over to sign it. The rest of 0.92

00:31:21.340 the Gulf Emirates. Qatar was pretty adamant not going to sign it. We've had so much of people that have

00:31:28.000 been traditional colleagues of ours and allies of ours. Their heads are blown up because the

00:31:32.060 president's in Qatar. They're having a state dinner tonight. I mean, in this narrative, how did Qatar

00:31:39.500 go from a pariah? Because 30 days after we departed, MBZ and UAE and the Saudis, MBS,

00:31:47.820 completely cut off Qatar, surrounded them, and almost went to a war in the Gulf. It had to be, 0.97

00:31:53.320 you know, we had to be tapped down by the United States, by President Trump personally, probably

00:31:56.740 90 days, you know, 90 to 100 days after we left and finally kind of put it to bed. So what's

00:32:02.480 changed, sir? Well, what's changed is that Qatar has done a much better job investing in the United

00:32:09.760 States and purchasing assets in the United States and doing its PR and funding American universities.

00:32:17.300 They've done a great job of it. Their relationship fundamentally hasn't, you know, with the other

00:32:21.940 states out there hasn't changed. In the Middle East, everyone plays nice on the surface.

00:32:26.900 The fact is that the Muslim Brotherhood, who is viewed, who is designated a terrorist organization

00:32:33.800 by the countries you mentioned, by the Saudis, by the UAE, by the other moderate Arab states,

00:32:39.100 is the pet project of the Qataris. The Qataris fund Muslim Brotherhood activity all over the world. 0.98

00:32:46.600 They house their leadership. Their clerical council is based in Qatar. Hamas, for years and years, 0.56

00:32:52.980 were living the lives of royalty in Qatar and funded, of course, by the Qataris. So how Qatar ends up in

00:33:02.760 this family of moderate Arab nations is really an act of sleight of hand. People tend to view the

00:33:07.940 Qataris, unfortunately, in the same category as the UAE and the Saudis, as part of those Muslim nations,

00:33:17.380 part of those Arab nations that want peaceful engagement with the West and ultimately normalization

00:33:21.980 with the West and with Israel. But Qatar really doesn't fit into that category. You know, Al Jazeera

00:33:26.460 is their anti-West, anti-Israel propaganda arm. The head of the Qatari daily paper just about two weeks

00:33:34.680 ago published on his X account. He posted on his X account a call for the death of all Jews in the world. 0.99

00:33:40.740 I mean, and this is someone who works for them. Of course, it was in Arabic, so people speaking English 0.98

00:33:45.420 didn't necessarily notice it. Qatar is a problematic country. And, you know, with this, you know, with this 0.86

00:33:51.480 gift to the United States and their involvement with people in the Trump administration, the Attorney General

00:33:58.040 Pam Bondi, I think a lot of your viewers know this, that she worked for a period of time back in 2020 and 2022.

00:34:06.140 She worked as a lobbyist for the Qatari. She was registered with Farah. She received over, she received

00:34:10.900 $110,000 a month from the Qatari government. And there's a lot of, unfortunately, I say this as someone who is,

00:34:17.740 who is a staunch supporter of President Trump, as you'll find. But there's, there are some warning signs here.

00:34:23.700 How the Qataris get involved here is a real question. On the other hand, the Qataris might

00:34:29.760 be reformable and brought into the family of moderate nations if the right incentives are given

00:34:35.460 to them. I say that optimistically and hopefully, even though in my heart of hearts, I have, I have

00:34:41.280 questions. So when you ask me, how did we get here that the Qataris are put, are, are part of this trip 0.99

00:34:46.920 and, and, and President Trump is viewing them as a friend, I don't know. This is very, this is very worrisome.

00:34:53.700 Um, this unity you're seeing coming out of the Gulf and it's been a historic trip where

00:34:59.140 President Trump, I think he's doing more on the reordering of the Middle East on this trip

00:35:04.340 than has been done since the Sykes-Pico agreement was signed back in what, 1918. Um, what happens

00:35:12.260 at unity if, I think Bibi's saying, Netanyahu's saying that military, major military operations

00:35:19.140 are going to recommence in Gaza in the next 24 to 48 hours? Am I correct in that?

00:35:25.020 They will be commencing soon. Yes. Uh, in, in the Gaza Strip, they will be commencing soon. I don't

00:35:30.100 know. Uh, you know, we asked what implications, what happens in Gaza has with the, you know,

00:35:35.980 with these Gulf States and with these other Arab States, one of the successes of Trump's first term,

00:35:42.080 and I think he's moving in that direction, in that direction again, is really decoupling

00:35:45.680 the Palestinian issue from Arab relations in general, and even with, from Arab relations

00:35:51.780 with Israel. Let's, you know, again, in the Middle East, the, the statements that people make on the

00:35:58.360 surface are less important than the actions that they take. We have to take a look at how Arab states

00:36:03.320 relate to the Palestinian issue themselves. And one of the great successes of the, of the first 0.99

00:36:08.260 Trump administration was showing that peace with Israel is possible, even without resolving the

00:36:13.320 Palestinian issue. Now, the, the Muslim Brotherhood proxy in, in Gaza known as Hamas, who are also

00:36:21.400 a proxy of, of the Iranians, that has to be dealt with. And I'll, I'll remind everyone once again, 1.00

00:36:28.120 that there would, this whole war will end immediately if the Whitcoff plan had been accepted by Hamas,

00:36:34.380 which meant that all the hostages are released and, and Hamas's leadership is exiled from the

00:36:41.880 Gaza Strip and is not part of the governance of the Gaza Strip going forward and is completely,

00:36:46.160 and, and is demilitarized, obviously. This war would end tomorrow, would have ended a year ago,

00:36:51.000 would have ended the day after October 7th, if that was agreed to. But, and that's why Israel still 0.87

00:36:56.800 needs to secure its future by dealing with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. And, you know, I, I don't know what,

00:37:03.520 you know, what the implications are for Trump's trip, but I know that in Israel, there is a

00:37:08.180 commitment to wait until Trump's trip is over before, before intensifying the attacks there.

00:37:15.440 Although yesterday, even during Trump's speech, there was a major attack in the Gaza Strip to

00:37:19.000 assassinate Mohammed Sinwar, Yichia Sinwar's brother, who is the head of the military wing

00:37:24.260 of Hamas and one of the architects of October 7th. There's still some question as to whether or not

00:37:28.560 Israel got him, but he's really been the one standing in the way of, of any hostage deal.

00:37:33.440 He's really the one who's pulling the strings there in the Gaza Strip. So, look, there's a,

00:37:38.340 this is a dangerous game right now, Steve, when you look at what, you know, what Donald Trump is

00:37:42.820 doing with his pronouncements about, about Iran that were in your cold open, about how there will

00:37:48.200 be maximum pressure and do anything, anything possible to prevent Iran from having a nuclear 0.89

00:37:54.440 weapon. One of the, one of the risks that Trump is taking here is that if the Iranians call his bluff,

00:38:01.360 I mean, obviously, President Trump does not want kinetic, uh, uh, action. He does not want to attack

00:38:06.960 Iran. He wants a negotiation. And I think we all want that. We all want a negotiated, uh, conclusion

00:38:13.920 to this where Iran is prevented from ever having a nuclear weapon. But the response of the Iranians to

00:38:20.320 Trump's statements in, in Saudi Arabia that, that, uh, that hit the Arab media today, the Iranians

00:38:27.080 referred to Trump's statement as despicable and that they, and that they view the enrichment of

00:38:32.080 Iranian, of uranium as, uh, as a right that they have as a nation and that they're not going to go 0.99

00:38:36.960 along with this. So in the end of the day, the risk that Trump is taking is that if his, if his

00:38:42.840 threats are viewed as empty threats, then, uh, then, then America is going to come out looking weak and

00:38:48.960 it's not going to work. So there has to be some willingness to follow through on the threats

00:38:52.600 that he's making. Uh, and this is, uh, you know, the, the, the, the most tense moments in this are

00:38:59.040 yet to come, Steve. Oh, no, no, this is, uh, this is all a process. It's going to get very,

00:39:04.740 this is going to put us on the edge of a broader war. Trust me. But he said, he went to our favorite

00:39:09.860 thing about cutting off Iranian oil, 100% for anything, leaving the Persian Gulf and, uh,

00:39:15.600 anything going to the Chinese communist party, which is two over 2 million barrels a day.

00:39:21.040 Uh, your thoughts on that? Yeah. And it's 90% of Iran's oil revenues. It comes from the Chinese

00:39:26.960 communist party. And that was critical when I talked a few minutes ago, uh, about how, when we go back

00:39:33.480 to the end of the previous Trump administration and Iran could not sell its oil, it also meant that

00:39:38.500 the Chinese communist party didn't have this, this source of oil. They didn't have the source of

00:39:43.440 energy. They didn't have the strategic relationship with the Iranians. And now the Russians have also

00:39:49.040 signed a strategic partnership with the Iranians. The Iranians produce a lot of the drones that the 0.88

00:39:53.800 Russians have used in the war against Ukraine. So these three countries, this axis that has,

00:39:58.760 that was really formed, uh, as a result of the mishandling of the world by the Biden administration,

00:40:05.000 Donald Trump is now seeking to restore what, what, uh, the situation when he left office and pull them

00:40:11.640 away from the Chinese, the Chinese communist party benefits greatly from this, from this 1.00

00:40:17.200 relationship to Iran. And with the maximum sanctions, there is a chance that the, that

00:40:23.960 with one, with one act, you can kill two birds with one stone and put greater pressure on the

00:40:29.020 Chinese communist party, but also bring the Iranian regime to heal in the sense that they will once 0.98

00:40:34.740 again, not have the money to fund their terrorist proxies. Let me remind everyone that this isn't just

00:40:39.800 an Israel issue. There seems to be this perception that the threat of Iran is, is an Israel issue

00:40:45.380 and America, uh, getting tough on Iran is helping Israel. The greatest victim of Iranian aggression 0.77

00:40:52.380 from the Houthis, uh, has been over the years, the Saudis, the Saudis that were attacked for years and

00:40:58.600 years, lost billions of dollars in their own oil revenues from the attacks by the Houthis on their

00:41:03.860 infrastructure, attacks on civilians, killing Saudi civilians. Well, militarily, even UAE and, and

00:41:09.680 Saudi Arabia couldn't pull it, uh, pull it off. Look that you answered the question by the applause.

00:41:14.060 That was thunderous applause. That was the biggest applause line in the entire speech is when President

00:41:19.500 Trump talks about the Persians not getting a nuclear weapon. And that was not a guy, a bunch of guys in 0.79

00:41:24.000 Knesset. That, that was the leaders. Exactly. It's not about Israel. Rabbi, hang on for a second. I,

00:41:31.200 because we're going to do something here in the United States. I want your commentary after it's

00:41:34.620 the great Michael Young. We've got a cold open, a very disturbing situation down in Texas. Let's bring

00:41:39.480 in, let's do the cold and bring in Michael Young. This is Colony Ridge, Texas, reputed to be the

00:41:48.440 largest illegal alien city in America. On May 13, I took helicopter and fixed wing aircraft flights

00:41:59.160 over the city to see what's happened since Donald Trump was elected in November, 2024. Development is

00:42:06.900 down. That's the good news. But the bad news, the state of Texas and ICE apparently are no longer doing

00:42:14.920 deportations.

00:42:15.920 They're wrong.

00:42:17.600 ...

00:42:22.540 ...

00:42:23.960 ...

00:42:26.500 ...

00:42:31.740 ...

00:42:35.340 ...

00:42:35.780 ...

00:42:36.880 ...

00:42:37.200 ...

00:42:37.780 ...

00:42:39.400 With Donald Trump's mass deportation plans, this is a target-rich environment.

00:42:55.940 And it's unclear why, after some initial ICE Texas operations, that few others have followed.

00:43:09.400 With Donald Trump's mass deportation plans, this is a target-rich environment.

00:43:39.380 There are two situations in Texas, and I think they're inextricably linked.

00:43:43.820 One, you've had these real estate developers around these things, like the colony, where it housed illegal aliens down near the Houston area.

00:43:51.440 Everybody looked the other way.

00:43:53.120 It's a festering story.

00:43:54.260 It didn't do any mass deportations.

00:43:55.880 Now you have, it's coming to light, all of this kind of Islamic centers coming around, mosques coming around, huge, like, their own towns, our own entities-like colony.

00:44:08.760 Michael Yon joins us.

00:44:10.040 Michael, talk to me about the colony.

00:44:12.340 Why are we not doing mass deportations out of there and, like, doing them immediately?

00:44:17.100 And because this is one of the reasons I think these real estate developers get there.

00:44:21.700 They're making tons of money.

00:44:23.000 They don't care about Texas.

00:44:24.240 They don't care about the United States of America.

00:44:25.680 And you're seeing it now in this kind of mass infusion of Islamic centers and others, these kind of communities in Texas.

00:44:34.340 Your thoughts, sir?

00:44:35.080 Yeah, Steve, thank you for having me on.

00:44:38.780 I just got back to Texas from Panama, where I was watching the things down there.

00:44:43.340 Similar matters.

00:44:44.820 And I was in the front seat of both of those aircraft yesterday from those videos.

00:44:50.160 The great patriot David Cannon allows me to jump in his helicopter and his airplane every time I come to look at Colony Ridge.

00:44:57.200 We've been looking at Colony Ridge for a while.

00:44:59.180 We all know that it's a safe city, you might say, for illegal aliens. 0.93

00:45:05.080 And it is filled with drug activity, prostitution, lots of violent crime.

00:45:11.380 And the Texas law enforcement is doing nothing about it.

00:45:14.620 Governor Abbott has actually taken $1.4 million from the developer of Colony Ridge, Trey Harris.

00:45:21.840 And we know that I was just watching a Texas House of Representatives homeland security, public safety, and veterans affairs testimony before I came on with you this morning.

00:45:35.200 And they opened that testimony with basically welcoming their stakeholders.

00:45:42.660 This is the Texas House of Representatives stakeholders.

00:45:46.200 That's World Economic Forum talk.

00:45:48.080 We know that.

00:45:48.800 We know that Governor Greg Abbott is a member of the World Economic Forum.

00:45:53.240 He's very clear about that.

00:45:54.520 He's very open about it.

00:45:55.600 He's on their website.

00:45:57.160 He actually is now involved.

00:45:59.560 Texas is a sanctuary state.

00:46:01.940 That's just what it is.

00:46:03.100 They might not call it that, but it is.

00:46:04.800 The only state that's really standing up to this and adhering to 287G, which is the provision, the agreement between, should be an agreement between states and the federal government to, that law enforcement can be basically deputized at the federal level to begin mass deportations.

00:46:24.660 The only state that's actually adhering to this is Florida.

00:46:28.120 Texas is not doing it.

00:46:29.660 Texas is de facto sanctuary state.

00:46:32.800 They are not adhering to 287G.

00:46:35.660 I was just looking at this hearing, actually, and the Lieutenant Colonel Jason Taylor, the Deputy Director of Law Enforcement Operations, who I'm sure will see this today, at DPS.

00:46:50.180 DPS is the Department of Public Safety in Texas.

00:46:52.860 That's basically Texas sort of FBI.

00:46:54.700 So Lieutenant Colonel Jason Taylor is saying that Texas, the DPS, does not want to adhere to 287G.

00:47:03.700 287G is the provision that it helps us mass deport people. 0.64

00:47:08.140 Only Florida is doing it.

00:47:09.400 I hope that President Trump sees this and will call up Texas and threaten to cut off all federal funding to the state of Texas if they keep operating like California.

00:47:19.800 I mean, Texas is becoming like California because of the leadership that's been installed into these offices, like Abbott, who fooled many of my good friends in Texas for quite a while by taking the buses from the border with Mexico and bussing people up to places like New York.

00:47:37.920 And, of course, my conservative friends were immediately happy in the beginning, and I said, be careful.

00:47:44.120 He's actually inserting more of these invaders deeper into our heart.

00:47:47.960 Remember New York and Massachusetts and all those places?

00:47:50.840 That's the United States, too.

00:47:53.220 Abbott is just clearing the banks of the Rio Grande to bring more in.

00:47:57.080 Now, fast forward to 2025, it's obviously true what some of us have been saying for so long, including you.

00:48:05.020 I know, Steve, I know you go after Abbott all the time and with very good reason.

00:48:11.320 Now, Abbott is proving this all to be true.

00:48:14.180 He's actually set up this state, Texas, as a sanctuary state.

00:48:21.200 It's just over the top, Steve.

00:48:24.060 Michael, where do we get a bounce?

00:48:25.740 Where do we go to get all this footage?

00:48:28.780 You got Benzman's voice on this.

00:48:30.680 You're up in the helicopter.

00:48:32.680 This thing's pretty explosive.

00:48:33.880 We've been spending a lot of time in Texas with the folks in the House where the Democrats are now running it, although it's a MAGA state.

00:48:39.440 Trump won by 14 points, folks, and this is what you get.

00:48:42.820 Where do people go to get all your content, Michael?

00:48:45.580 Well, Substack.

00:48:46.420 I just published on this on Substack about an hour ago.

00:48:49.660 I'm on Substack constantly now.

00:48:51.900 I haven't put this footage up yet because we got back late, but I'll put it up later tonight.

00:48:57.660 So, and obviously, this is huge.

00:49:00.500 Colony Ridge is just one of the places.

00:49:03.000 There are a lot of law enforcement in Texas that want to defend our country.

00:49:07.920 They want to defend the great state of Texas. 0.98

00:49:10.340 But the leadership at DPS, Steve, as you well know, cowards are natural traitors. 0.98

00:49:16.860 They're installing cowards into these leadership positions, like this guy, Lieutenant Colonel Jason Taylor. 0.98

00:49:22.700 I mean, he's clearly on the side of letting these illegal aliens stay in the state of Texas. 0.99

00:49:28.780 And I hope Jason Taylor sees this, Lieutenant Colonel.

00:49:32.360 We're watching.

00:49:33.300 Many people are watching how you behave from here out.

00:49:37.700 Amen.

00:49:38.600 Great work, Jan.

00:49:39.700 Look forward to having you back on the next couple of days.

00:49:42.400 Thank you, sir.

00:49:44.940 Rabbi, there's a situation also inextricably linked with this.

00:49:48.200 What's happening in Texas is out of control.

00:49:49.660 It's a major kind of infusion of these communities financed by, it looks like, Islamists.

00:49:59.400 You know, some good, don't be wrong, some good folks, Muslims, but there's a bunch of concerns about these Islamic centers.

00:50:06.180 Give me your thoughts on that.

00:50:07.400 We've got about 30 seconds.

00:50:09.880 Well, it's directly connected to what we were talking about before.

00:50:12.440 Let's recall that Iran doesn't just fund Hezbollah in Lebanon, but there is Hezbollah Paraguay and Hezbollah Venezuela that have existed for more than a decade.

00:50:21.300 They're in business with the cartels.

00:50:23.180 They've been trafficking drugs and human beings into the United States for many years.

00:50:27.380 The DHS threat assessment for 2025 and the DNI threat assessment from March 2025 both name Iran and its sleeper cells in the United States as one of the major threats to American national security.

00:50:39.800 So this is, look, what the Europeans are coming face to face with and realizing that Western civilization is under attack by Sharia and jihadists is coming to America. 0.97

00:50:51.420 And, you know, people like Frank Gaffney and others who have been, you know, with their hair on fire, looking like conspiracy theorists, screaming about it for decades.

00:50:58.660 Now the chickens are coming home to roost.

00:51:00.360 This is jihad coming to America. 0.60

00:51:02.380 And people should stop thinking that the Iranian threat and the Muslim brotherhood threat is just about the Middle East and Israel.

00:51:07.960 It's not.

00:51:09.800 Rabbi, real quickly, social media, where do you go?

00:51:11.900 You've got about 15 seconds.

00:51:13.980 I'm at Rabbi P.W. on Getter and X.

00:51:17.280 And we have the Israel 365 YouTube channel where I post three times a week important updates from Israel.

00:51:23.160 Go check us out there at Israel365action.com.

00:51:27.520 Thank you, Rabbi.

00:51:28.640 We'll be back tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

00:51:31.720 We've got a bunch of specials.

00:51:33.460 They're going to add loose, I think, from the Financial Times of London is scheduled to join us.

00:51:38.000 Also, we're going to get Tom Dans.

00:51:39.200 We couldn't get back up in Romania.

00:51:40.820 We'll probably start the show with him tomorrow morning.

00:51:42.280 See you at 10 a.m. in the War Room.

00:51:43.980 What if he had the brightest mind in the War Room delivering critical financial research every month?

00:51:54.000 Steve Bannon here.

00:51:55.160 War Room listeners know Jim Rickards.

00:51:56.820 I love this guy.

00:51:57.660 He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.

00:52:05.900 Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.

00:52:15.260 Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.

00:52:22.320 His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.

00:52:34.520 Right now, War Room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.

00:52:41.120 This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.

00:52:45.920 I read it.

00:52:47.040 You should read it.

00:52:48.040 Time is running out.

00:53:01.540 But about six months ago, we decided to launch Sacred Human with really the simple mission being to provide American-made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense.

00:53:12.120 So, unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health.

00:53:23.120 So, that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements, and, of course, the beef liver being our flagship products.

00:53:31.380 For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc., and because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general.

00:53:53.420 So, we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to SacredHumanHealth.com, and cheers to your health.
