Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. U.S.-Iran War Developments and Religious Ideology

• Operational Decisions and Casualties
  • Bannon frames U.S. military action as a generational necessity for American interests, referencing recent casualties as tragic but stiffening resolve.
    • "They have unabated nuclear ambitions...This is a fight we will finish." (Bannon, 00:35)
• Rise of Religious Nationalism in Policy
  • Nadav Eyal draws detailed parallels between past Middle East Islamist extremism and current U.S. evangelical influence, highlighting dangerous trends:
    • "Something eerily similar is now unfolding right here at home...We're now seeing a version of that same dynamic take hold at the highest levels of the American government." (Eyal, 02:54)
  • Eyal critiques the melding of religious ideology and state power under Trump:
    • "This devil's bargain that religious nationalists struck with Trump looks not unlike the Saudi monarchy's bargain with extremism here in America..." (Eyal, 10:23)

2. Exposing the Maricopa County Election Scandal

a. New Federal Investigations and Unreleased Evidence

• Longstanding Problems Documented
  • Solomon recounts decades of Maricopa’s election administration issues—but now a joint congressional-FBI investigation, drawing on a new House report, has given the probe unprecedented seriousness.
    • "Maricopa county has had more than a decade of long term problems...Republicans raised the same curtains and Democrats suddenly went into a state of denial." (Solomon, 18:32)
• FBI and Grand Jury Involvement
  • A recent grand jury subpoena forced the turning over of gigabytes of data; this is phase two in a new federal scrutiny of key battleground counties:
    • "They were able [to get] a grand jury subpoena from a federal grand jury, and execute the transmission of a large amount of voter data." (Solomon, 19:55)
    • "This is phase two of about a five phase look at states, particularly blue states or blue areas of states where elections are not administered the way the law says they're supposed to be." (Solomon, 20:50)
• Upcoming Revelations
  • Solomon teases further bombshells, including classified documents and another, yet-to-be-named secret FBI operation targeting Trump:
    • "We're going to reveal another code named FBI investigation that targeted President Trump...one that may be among the most troubling." (Solomon, 21:51)

• "The will is not there in the Republican Party to fix this. They can't even get FISA reform done through Congress." — John Solomon (26:20)

b. Legislative & Political Impact

• Senate & the Save America Act
  • Solomon urges Trump to use new evidence of foreign interference & election tampering to pressure senators to support election reform:
    • "I think the President has an opportunity to go senator by senator and move that vote along." (Solomon, 34:20)
    • "Do you really want to find out that your state might have been intruded upon by a foreign power and you didn't know about it for five, six years?" (Solomon, 34:45)
• Hints at Broader National Focus

3. Energy Markets and Policy Response

a. Oil Market Volatility & Critique of Establishment Responses

• Expert Analysis from Eric Bolling
  • Bolling, a veteran oil trader, pushes back on claims that the U.S. faces a supply crisis, arguing it’s a market dislocation issue and criticizes strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) releases as “ineffective optics”:
    • "We do not have a supply problem. We have a dislocation issue and frankly, we don't." (Bolling, 39:38)
    • "SPR is a very short term, more of a news hook than an actual supply resupplying any of our refineries." (Bolling, 39:38)
    • "Right now there's a glut of oil...But prices are going up because of these talking heads on tv." (Bolling, 40:45)
• Skepticism of Insurance Proposals in the Gulf
  • Bolling is dismissive of the U.S. proposal for a $20B insurance fund as inadequate and perhaps meaningless to shippers who risk lives and vessels:
    • "If you want to do it, make it legit. Make it, make it three, two, $300 billion, not 20." (Bolling, 41:55)

b. Trump’s Leverage & Alternative Solutions

• Western Hemisphere Energy Resources as Leverage
  • Bolling teases a “never before said” plan, leveraging U.S. hemisphere resources for enduring security:
    • "We now have 10x what the Persian Gulf has. Is that the leverage?" (Bannon, 43:05)
    • "With the leverage that Trump has developed, there's a win in here. There's a big win in here." (Bolling, 42:50)

Notable Quotes

• "The people who are advising the President...they're missing the whole point right here, right now." — Eric Bolling (37:32)
• "I've traded through Gulf wars...my concern is that the folks who are advising the President have never really traded through these conflicts before, and they don't know what's on the back side of it. I do." — Eric Bolling (40:45)

---

4. U.S.-Israel Military Coordination and Strains

• Increased Integration—and Friction
  • Bannon highlights unprecedented U.S.-Israel military integration, but also underscores divergent strategic interests, referencing a controversial Israeli strike on Iranian oil infrastructure not coordinated with U.S. strategy:
    • "Dan Senor...said...he had never seen such integration. It was all one. We have they have people in our command center. We have people in their command center...all of it was something he had never seen before of, of two militaries working together." (Bannon, 47:57)
    • "Saturday night was a major inflection point...somebody in the Israeli military and government made a decision that they were gonna do it their way and not in conjunction with, with the United States of America. Full stop." (Bannon, 53:03)

Episode Summary & Tone

In a charged, combative, and insider-heavy episode, Bannon and his panel pull apart the geopolitical, economic, and domestic chaos gripping the nation. The tone vacillates between alarmed and triumphant on exposing institutional corruption, especially in the intelligence and electoral systems, while advocating for radical action. Their reporting on Maricopa County foreshadows major new revelations, as John Solomon claims, “the documents are explosive.” On financial markets, Eric Bolling cuts through government spin with technical analysis and skepticism, while on foreign policy, Bannon and contributors repeatedly warn of disastrous consequences if U.S. policy is driven by either religious zealotry or blind alliance to foreign military strategies.

For anyone who missed the episode, this is a snapshot of the current state of the War Room’s worldview: the U.S. is at a crossroads, beset by foreign enemies, domestic subversion, and a political class outmaneuvered by permanent security-state bureaucracies.

Transcript

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Trump's approach has been our interest in advancing those interests from the beginning. And so the fact that intelligence was gathered, whether from Israelis or ours, and always checked by our intel agencies to make sure it's accurate, a lot of times the best way to start operations is a trigger based or condition based moment, and you can work together on whether that makes sense. But we were always controlling the throttle about whether or not to go or not go and ultimately to advance American interests and protect American lives.

[Eric Bolling]

Some might look at that sequence of

[Nadav Eyal]

events, say, well, that it was an opportunity more than an imminent threat.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

I mean, I think much of that discussion is silly and academic. They've been killing us for 48 years, 47 years. They have unabated nuclear ambitions. And when we obliterated their nuclear program at the end of the 12 Day War in Operation Midnight Hammer, they should have come to the table and said, okay, we get it. You mean business. We're not going to have nukes. And they haven't. And as a result, when the President looks at it generationally, he sees a threat that would continue. I want to say, though, and the President's been clear about this, it doesn't mean they won't have some get through, as we tragically saw. And we're going to greet those families at Dover and honor and respect the sacrifice they gave. The President's been right to say there will be casualties. Things like this don't happen without casualties. There will be more casualties. And no one is. I mean, especially our generation knows what it's like to see Americans come home in caskets. It's. But that doesn't weaken us one bit. It stiffens our spine and our resolve to say, this is a fight we will finish.

[John Solomon]

We were born and raised in New York and we want everyone here to

[Eric Bolling]

stay in New York.

[John Solomon]

You don't get to come from outside

[Nadav Eyal]

and then tell everyone else, Stay back.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Stay back, guys,

[Eric Bolling]

stay back.

[John Solomon]

Stay back. Please stay over here.

[Nadav Eyal]

American people don't understand this war and haven't rallied behind it. Then what exactly is driving it? I have to step away from the scene for a moment to speculate about at least one answer to that. You see, it wasn't that long ago that groups in parts of the Middle east invoked extremist interpretations of Islam to justify violence against the West. Regimes like Saudi Arabia encouraged extreme interpretations of Islam that consider anyone who doesn't follow its doctrine, including other Muslims, to be infidels. The consequences, as we all know, have been devastating. That ideology helped give rise to movements like Al Qaeda and later, its offshoot isis, which not only targeted the west, but Middle Eastern regimes as well. State sponsored clerics routinely denounced Western civilization and framed global politics as a civilizational struggle. Americans remember the consequences of this worldview because the violence it bred eventually landed on our shores. But that religious extremism did not arise in a vacuum. Crucially, it was sustained by a political bargain. For decades, the Saudi monarchy maintained an implicit agreement with its clerical class. The government will protect your authority and enforce your worldview so long as you legitimize the government. Religion, in other words, became the ideological engine for maintaining political power. And something eerily similar is now unfolding right here at home. And it's been building for some time. More than two centuries after the framers warned about the dangers of merging faith with political power, we're now seeing a version of that same dynamic take hold at the highest levels of the American government. So not just creeping in, it's actively shaping how this war is being understood and justified. From those advising the President to military commanders briefing troops before their deployment.

[Eric Bolling]

Is it possible to achieve the objectives

[Stephen K. Bannon]

President Trump has set before you?

[Eric Bolling (Market Expert)]

If we don't locate and obtain and

[Stephen K. Bannon]

extract the highly enriched uranium, there's a lot of different ways we can get after that. They've used a conventional umbrella of missiles that was growing every single day their production capacity to try to cover over their nuclear blackmail ambitions. As far as how you get at that nuclear option, we'll make sure that their nuclear ambitions are never achieved.

[Eric Bolling]

Will we take it out ourselves?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Well, I would never tell you or anybody else what our options are. See, that's another thing people keep asking.

[Nadav Eyal]

It's a legitimate question.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

It's a very fair question. People ask, boots on the ground. No boots on the ground. Four weeks, two weeks, six weeks. Go in. Go in. President Trump knows. I know. You don't tell. You don't tell the press, you don't tell anybody what your limits would be on an operation. We're willing to go as far as we need to in order to be successful.

[Eric Bolling]

Do we have any overt or covert forces inside Iran? Now,

[Stephen K. Bannon]

I wouldn't tell you that if we did.

[Eric Bolling]

Only reason I ask is earlier this week you said no.

[Nadav Eyal]

Is that still the answer?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Yeah, that's still the answer, but we reserve the right. We would be completely unwise if we did not reserve the right to take any particular option, whether it included boots on the ground or no boots on the ground.

[Eric Bolling]

This is being investigated as an act of ISIS inspired terrorism. I can also provide some additional information Building on my remarks from Saturday evening, at that time, we were beginning to conduct preliminary analysis of two devices that were ignited and deployed earlier that day.

[Nadav Eyal]

One and in a crosswalk walk on

[Eric Bolling]

East End Avenue and East 87th street and the other on the west side of East End avenue between East 86th and East 87th Streets. That testing was performed by the NYPD Bomb Squad and FBA FBI Special Agent Bomb technicians in consultation with an FBI chemist. Preliminary test results determined that these were not hoax devices nor smoke bombs. They were improvised explosive devices that could have caused serious injury or death.

[Nadav Eyal]

War in Iraq now entering its second week as explosions erupt over Tehran while the US And Israeli forces continue their relentless barrage of strikes on the terrorist regime.

[Eric Bolling]

What do you want from Iran? I said unconditional.

[John Solomon]

I said unconditional.

[Eric Bolling]

It's where they cry uncovered or where they can't fight any longer.

[John Solomon]

No, either. Wiped out their leadership numerous times already.

[Eric Bolling]

What we're doing is a great thing, not only for our country and not

[John Solomon]

only for Israel, not only for the

[Eric Bolling (Market Expert)]

Middle east, but for the world.

[Eric Bolling]

When this ends, we're going to have

[John Solomon]

a much safer world.

[Nadav Eyal]

So just hours ago, Iran choosing their new supreme leader, the son of the Ayatollah Mujaba Kumani. It comes just days after President Trump called him a lightweight and an unacceptable selection. I just spoke to the President. He, he said this. I am not happy. Also a breaking. Today, a seventh US Service member has died from injuries sustained during the first day of attacks. Iran's foreign minister has rejected calls for a cease fire as Gulf states have now been caught in the crossfire. So what's really happening behind the scenes with our Gulf State allies?

[Joe Allen]

So, Joe, the regime is taking a pounding. The skies over Tehran now essentially are undefended, which means that US And Israeli bombers have been able to hit targets at will. The exploding oil tanks that you mentioned in the beginning are just one example of that. A veteran Iran operations person I spoke with last night said that in looking at the situation now in Iran, you need to focus on the seen and the unseen. The scene is the decision by the Iranian leadership to install basically the most hardline person possible as the new supreme leader. It's a direct rebuff to President Trump and his talk about I'll pick the next leader. Well, they picked somebody who is so close to the IRGC that my source said he's basically woven into the fabric of the irgc. So this is going to be a hard line war leader. And that's the decision they made. Decided to announce it publicly, even though the risk that he's going to be killed now, as his father was, is significant. What's unseen. What's unseen is any sign of revolt, marches in the streets, defection from the ruling elite in any part of the country. There is no uprising in Tehran or in any of the other provinces. People were expecting you to see that kind of fragmentation by now, given the intensity of the US Bombardment. It isn't happening. Which means that somebody like President Trump almost has to talk about use of ground troops because there's no indigenous revolt that's underway. Personally, I think the idea of invading with ground troops is so unlikely because of memories of Iraq and just the difficulties, Joe, of this is a country much bigger than Iraq, much more difficult to invade, more mountainous. So I tend to put the threat of ground troop invasion aside. But there's a real problem here on both sides of a tightening no exit scenario. Neither side is talking about ways out. At the very moment the world economy is really, really beginning to hurt because of the effects of the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and all the other war effects. We're heading toward, what, a week from now? I don't know whether we'll have peace, but we're going to have financial markets significantly tightened.

[Nadav Eyal]

Evangelical Christianity was one of the most political, powerful political forces behind Donald Trump's rise. And this devil's bargain that religious nationalists struck with Trump looks not unlike the Saudi monarchy's bargain with extremism here in America. They would overlook Trump's moral, ethical and legal transgressions, and in return, he would hand them the keys to the kingdom. Power over American culture, power over education, power over women's autonomy, and increasingly, power over the machinery of state itself. This is already happening here at home. And now we're seeing how that alliance is helping to shape American foreign policy. Mike Huckabee, Trump's ambassador to Israel and a former Baptist minister, is a self proclaimed Christian Zionist. This is a movement that views Israel not simply as a modern state, but as the fulfillment of biblical prophecy and a necessary step toward the second coming of Christ, Huckabee himself has repeatedly framed Middle Eastern politics in explicitly theological terms. Here's where it gets interesting. In a recent interview, responding to a question About Genesis, chapter 15, verse 18's description of Israel, Huckabee suggested it would be fine if Israel controlled the entire territory stretching from the Nile in Egypt and to the Euphrates in Iraq, essentially much of the modern Middle East. Here's what the biblical verse states on the day on that day, the Lord made a covenant with Abraham, saying to your descendants, I have given this land from the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates. This is a sitting U.S. ambassador. But Huckabee is hardly the only figure in Trump's orbit advancing extremist religious ideas. Senator Lindsey Graham has described the current conflict as a religious war that will determine the Middle east for a thousand years. When religious ideology, state power and military force merge, history tells us exactly what happens. It leads to what James Madison called superstition, bigotry, and persecution. The United States military was never meant to fight for religious prophecy. Today, under Trump, Hegseth and the Christian nationalist movement surrounding them, that line is being erased in real time. And the price of that erasure will be paid for with the lives of innocent civilians abroad. It may be paid for with the lives of innocent civilians here at home. And it will surely be paid for by American soldiers, sailors and airmen and women, many of whom are being told that they are carrying out God's command. And we're going to win Israel in the United States, you just wait to

[Eric Bolling]

see what comes in the next two weeks.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

The next two weeks, meaning what?

[Nadav Eyal]

We're going to blow the hell out of these people. This regime is in a death row now.

[Eric Bolling]

It is going to be on its knees.

[Nadav Eyal]

It's going to fall. And when it falls, we're going to have peace like no other time. We're going to have prosperity unlike anyone could ever imagine. Peace brings prosperity. You can't do it by talking. The Democrats criticize this operation.

[Eric Bolling]

They didn't do a damn thing. These men and women in the military

[Nadav Eyal]

should make us all proud.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

And you know, this war may be hurting Americans, American consumers in the pomp, but one person who's doing swimmingly well and enjoying a windfall is Russia's invading autocrat, Vladimir Putin. And now the US Is considering lifting even more sanctions off of Russian oil.

[Nadav Eyal]

The cost of crude has surged above

[Stephen K. Bannon]

$100 a barrel for the first time since 2022. India refiners will now be granted a three day waiver to purchase Russian oil. That's according to Treasury Secretary Scott Basin

[Nadav Eyal]

that President Trump says rising oil prices, quote, are a very small price to

[Stephen K. Bannon]

pay, adding, quote, only fools would think differently.

[Eric Bolling]

Let me just say this. Go America, go.

[Nadav Eyal]

President.

[Eric Bolling]

You got 92% of Maga behind you,

[Nadav Eyal]

and I bet you have most of

[Eric Bolling]

the country behind you.

[Nadav Eyal]

We're going to destroy this enemy, free the people in Iran. China's upset, the Russians are upset, and

[Stephen K. Bannon]

The Democrats are upset. That's it.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I'm done.

[Eric Bolling]

Monday the 9th of March in the year of our Lord 2026. Want to thank our team in Denver and our own team here at the War Room for a magnificent cold open. We're going to take a short commercial break. John Solomon, Eric Bolling on the other.

[Grant Stinchfield]

A new year means new financial goals, like making sure your savings are secure and diversified. Will this be the year you finally listen to me and talk to someone from Birch Gold Group? Honestly, they're great people. I appreciate their educational approach and their understanding of macroeconomics. There are forces pushing the dollar lower and gold higher, which is why they believe every American should own physical gold. So until February, if you are a first time gold buyer, Birch Gold is offering a rebate of up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases. To claim eligibility and start the process, just text Bannon at 989-898. Birchgold can help you roll an existing IRA or 401K into an IRA in gold and you're still eligible for a rebate of up to $10,000. Make right now your first time to buy gold and take advantage of a rebate of up to $10,000. One when you buy by by February 27, text my name, Bannon 989898 and claim your eligibility today. Remember, text Bannon B A N N O N to 989-898. You've got to the end of February, the 27th of February, to qualify up to a $10,000 rebate.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

[Eric Bolling]

Okay, it's Monday 9th March. Your overlord 2026. Let's do a level set here. We're gonna, we're going to accomplish three objectives on today's show. We're gonna, we are going to get into the this expanding war in the economic implications. And Eric Bolling, who knows a oil trader still trades his account, is going to join us at the bottom of the hour. POSO is going to be on later in the show. We're going to get to much of that as we can. A lot of our analysts and experts, we're just not going to have time for today. Although Natalie's going to join us this afternoon. I'm going try to get more folks in here. Then also Caroline Ren is going to join us in the second hour and we're going to do a very deep kind of rollout of this Corn and Paxton situation. But there are many things going on and many things are not just important to maga, but most important to this country in this republic. And part of that is the folks that are going after the deep state, many of the deep state people. And we play clips when we do these cold opens. And once again, I want to thank the team for putting in all the different aspects of this into a 15 minute clip, which was amazing. You see a lot of these Brennan and these people up there all the time. John Solomon, you've got nothing short of a blockbuster story on just the news. I think you broke overnight Maricopa County. Now you've been at the tip of the spear of making allowing us to understand the overall framing of what's happening in Georgia. And we've had tons of the local people have been fighting the fight in Georgia, Maricopa and as Georgia is the key that probably picks the lock today because people stood in the breach and go. Everybody remembers back from that night that it was really Arizona and the call by Fox News that kind of seemed like a domino effect and really disoriented many, many, many people who were not just Fox fans, but obviously Trump supporters. And we've never really gotten steady on that. So go through what your story says today because I think this is so important. I wanted to lead with it this morning. Sir.

[John Solomon]

Thank you. I appreciate it. So Maricopa county has had more than a decade of long term problems. Back in the early 2000s, it was the Democrats who always cried foul that Maricopa county couldn't count votes corre administer the election correctly. Then in 2024, Republicans raised the same curtains and Democrats suddenly went into a state of denial. The FBI has decided that the history of Maricopa county is problematic and that under federal law, a county or a state must administer the election the way their state laws do require it. If they don't, it is a federal legal violation. This is why they raided Fulton county, another place with a long history of irregularities and misconduct and quite FR just incompetent election counting. And so the focus in this grand jury subpoena that went in the last few days to Maricopa county seized many gigabytes of election data, is the 2024 election, which is interesting because President Trump won there. But there is a discovery that was made by congressional observers. Every year the House Administration Committee sends observers, one Democrat, one Republican, to various voting centers. One of the teams, the Republican Democrat team that went to Maricopa county observed something very disturbing. They took pictures. They wrote a long report. Congressman Abe Hamade hinted at this in an oversight letter recently. The information in that report was so troubling to the FBI. And when coupled to the things that the Arizona senate found in 2020 that were raised as concerns and the things that Hamade and Kerry Lake raised in 2022, they were able a grand jury subpoena from a federal grand jury and execute the transmission of a large amount of voter data. They're going to go through that data looking for some of the telltale signs that were in this congressional report. I hope in the next couple days to make that congressional report public so everybody can see what it was that observers on Brian Stiles House Administration Committee saw. Brian Stile himself acknowledged that they were working with federal authorities on this specific Arizona matter. So you got Congress working with the FBI, and I think this is phase two of about a five phase look at states, particularly blue states or blue areas of states where elections are not administered the way the law says they're supposed to be. And as a result, the FBI may come in and prosecute people because it is a federal felony if you don't follow your state's laws, if you don't treat everybody the same under your state law. So that's where we are today. Now, over the next 10 days, Steve, we're going to have a lot more. We are going to be able to get, for the first time I've been able to start processing these documents, a large body of evidence that's in the intelligence community that raises concerns about foreign interference in our elections. That'll probably be the end of this week or early next week. The documents are explosive. They're really remarkable. And what's most remarkable is that all this has been kept a secret from the American people, possibly President Trump in some cases, until recently, of course, when his team told him. I think there's a lot there. And then in between those two things, we're going to reveal another code named FBI investigation that targeted President Trump, one you've never heard of before, one that may be among the most troubling. We have Crossfire Hurricane, of course, we've got Plasmic Echo, and we have the third one that targeted the January 6th investigation, Arctic Frost. There's another one that is really deeply troubling. It's troubling to the FBI, it's troubling to the intelligence community. And hopefully between now and next week, we'll get all four of those stories out.

[Eric Bolling]

Hang on, you're telling me that they found cash in the team and I assume you're telling me they found a fourth targeting of President Trump by the deep state?

[John Solomon]

Yeah. And It's a very serious one because it seems to involve speech delimiters. In other words, if you said something or you spoke a certain way about a certain issue, you. You potentially were deemed a national security threat to the United States and you were put under an assessment in potentially criminal investigation. So I learned of this operation because I was targeted in 2022, I had to cooperate with the Justice Department. When the Justice Department and I talked, they realized that their entire theory of the case was ludicrous. But as a result of that, I've been on a two and a half, three year mission to get these documents, to get the truth out about what happened recently. FBI agents working for Cash Patel found this operation, found the skiff that it was hiding, found the code word name for it, found the prohibited access files. So one of the things that Chris Wray's people did is they would start these political investigations targeting Trump or even someone else. They would keep it off the books. Most people could not see it in the FBI sentinel system. This one was one of those well hidden as a result of some senior leadership that work around Cash Patel. You know, there were people that were in this era that knew what was going on, some cases, maybe even been required to work on certain things. They knew what was going on. And they've been guiding Kash Patel to these records and helping him find these records in the labyrinth of secrecy that Chris Wray's FBI created. So these senior executives are really helping uncover some really jaw dropping stuff. And I think in the next couple days people will see that as well,

[Eric Bolling]

John. And I'm gonna ask you if you can stay through the break and I'm have to back up bowling for a second because this is so disturbing.

[John Solomon]

Sorry about that. I love Eric.

[Grant Stinchfield]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Eric Bolling]

Let me go, let me go with the last first. You've been one of the biggest, I would say, defenders of the institution of the CIA and FBI and saying, look, there's bad apples and we got to go, we got to pull people accountable. And the way we're going to do that is these deep investigations. Don't you think that this last goes to my point that it's an institutional rot that's even farther beyond people. I mean, now this one may be the most disturbing of all, even more than Arctic Frost.

[John Solomon]

That's what's going to be most disturbing.

[Eric Bolling]

And it's not just you find the most disturbing. We're here in the 9th of March of 2026 after cash has been there a year investigating and going into the records, like saying go into a skiff and they find in boxes. We have no earthly idea. There's. They're probably in all likelihood other things, maybe not direct target the president, but other things. Doesn't this hit the tripwire that finally the President, people around him and people on Capitol Hill, particularly people that know the intelligence community or have to come together even on the right and say, look, this problem is so serious, it's so deep into the culture of what they were doing that there has to be a deeper investigation to actually starting to look at breaking these things up. Sir.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, well, listen, I think that is underway. We're not seeing a lot of it, but in the reporting I've done, I'm stumbling into really significant grand jury investigations, particularly the one down in Florida. But it's not the only one. Listen, I have been chronicling the abuses at the FBI all the way back to the 1990s. I started by breaking the FBI lab scandal, the 1990s where the FBI cheated for decades, not years, decades. They cheated on various sciences. They made up fake science to convict people. Right after 9 11, I broke all the stories, including the Arizona memo and the Mosawi files that showed that the FBI had all the components of the 911 plot but failed to put them together in a quick way. They even knew the pilots were training for a mission and didn't act quick enough. And then of course, I unraveled Russia collusion with the Crossfire Hurricane there. This institution has been sick since the day that J. Edgar Hoover first created it. It is always going to be flawed. The problem is there are no courageous members in the United States Senate. Maybe absent Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassy, who really are doing amazing work, by the way. They're going to be a big part of the story later this week. The will is not there in the Republican Party to fix this. They can't even get FISA reform done through Congress. So you might as well forget Congress. Congress is a dead end for anything that's going to be which what is going to have to happen is Cash Patel has to realign the agency from the inside out. It's the only way it's going to get done. It is starting to happen in very big ways. Some things are not public yet because they can't talk about it. But I think there are some improvements. That said, the CIA and the FBI are going to always thwart the American people. They're always going to hide the truth from the American people. When you see these intelligence files on foreign intervention, you're going to go, how in God's name could they not have told us six years ago, five years ago, four years ago, three years ago? And I also think that these files that come out later this week or early next week will have an impact on senators. Those who are reluctant to pass the Save America act will suddenly have a personal local reason to want to support the SAVE act because of the fact that their state may have been a victim of some mal influence operations by one or two foreign powers.

[Eric Bolling]

John, hang on for one second. I know you got to bounce back at hold you a couple more questions on this kind of blockbuster news. What a way to start a Monday. John Solomon. Hang on. We're gonna take a short commercial break. John Solomon, Eric Bowling. We're gonna talk about guess what, Oil and gas impact on the world economy. All next in the war room.

[Grant Stinchfield]

The world is getting more unstable and chaotic every day. It seems like everywhere you look there's another crisis, another controversy, another conflict or just outright catastrophe. You can't control what happens out there, but you can control how you prepare for it. You can make sure that no matter what happens, you have the basics covered in case one of these disasters reaches your doorstep.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

[Eric Bolling]

Okay, John Solomon joins us with all signal, no noise. Solomon, how long you've been on this one? This last one? Yeah, for a couple of three years, right?

[John Solomon]

Yeah. About three years after I learned that I had been targeted by an FBI and Justice Department investigation just because of the reporting I did, I set on a journey and I was determined to get to the truth of it. And it led me down two avenues. One, this operation that we'll talk about later this week. And then the other election integrity issues that weren't on the table. A lot of issues have been on the table. We know what they are and they are what they are. But there was one particular area that the intelligence community was intent on keeping from President Trump and quite frankly from President Biden. And drilling through that concrete, we've really gotten some real great data. A big shout out to three people that are working against their agencies. Deep states. Tulsi Gabbard at dni, John Ratcliffe at CIA and Cash Patel at FBI. They are literally taking incoming fire every day. But they've broken through. They've done some really jaw dropping reviews and they're now about to do some really important declassifications and they're not popular in their agencies right now. But the American people will be better off when these revelations come out

[Eric Bolling]

and crib this is what we mean by the deep state. Like I said when I was in the White House, it ain't deep. It ain't a deep state. When you're there, they're up in your grill. They're up in your freaking grill. And they're so powerful. Like even Biden, they think presidents, elected officials, they're just passing through, they're there permanently. That's the permanent American government. Real quickly, you said five phases and you said Maricopa was phase two. Is that to imply that that Fulton county was phase one?

[John Solomon]

Yeah, I think they're looking at five epicenters of voting irregularities. I don't know the other three yet. I just know there's a total of five on the agenda based on what people have been told downstream. You know, the agents of the field that are going to work on this, the prosecutors that are getting grand jury subpoenas. So it looks like there'll looking at some other places. If you look historically, you clearly have some concerns about what went on in Michigan. All the work we did last year in Michigan on the state police uncovering this voter mill and no one in the FBI ever going and investigated. Even though the Michigan State Police said, hey, something bad happened here, I'd have to assume Michigan might be on the top of the list. Wisconsin's always had a lot of questions. There was a famous Video by James O' Keefe 8, 10 years ago of a guy admitting that they would bus in illegal aliens to vote. Whether that's true or not, I don't know. But the video was clearly true. You could see it for your own self. So I think Wisconsin is a Likely one, but I don't know the other three. But I'm told that there are five areas that they're looking at. Five regions. Yeah, three. Five localities where election irregularities have long been an issue.

[Eric Bolling]

Yeah, I'm gonna throw it another. I'm gonna just start another random name. Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, but we'll leave that for another day.

[Grant Stinchfield]

The congressional.

[Eric Bolling]

This congressional report, Abe Hamade has been all over this. Do you have any idea, you said you have it when you will be able to vet this and put it out to people?

[John Solomon]

Yeah, I've been vetting it for a few weeks. I got the document in the last 24 hours, but I've kind of known what it says. And like I said, we had Brian Style on talking about it. Well, I think we'll have it in time for tomorrow. If everything goes well, you just got to do the reporting, dot your I's, cross your T's. But a team of my reporters and I are working on it already, and I think we'll have it out in the next 24, 48 hours. It'll advance and give you a better understanding of what alerted the FBI to this activity that they just took in Maricopa County.

[Eric Bolling]

Okay, so everybody, every. Every Republican establishment figure, every. The Lindsay, the people there that are all permanently, you know, drafting off the deep state, everybody's gonna be in President Trump's ear that this is all nonsense. This takes him away from his mission. He shouldn't do this. What is your recommendation to the President of what we have to do to drive this? Because the resistance in this, folks is going to be massive. This is why we're in March of 2026. And finally now getting down to the. To, you know, some real information we can drive forward. What's your recommendation to the President? To make sure we continue to drive forward because the forces arrayed against any action here are going to be substantial. Sir.

[John Solomon]

Yeah. You know, the President doesn't often follow the conventions of Washington. He doesn't brief senators on big stuff often, unless it's really, I think, the data that Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe and Cash Patel have found on foreign interference in the election, particularly foreign interventions in certain electronic systems, by the way, not the voting machines, but other systems that can be used for mal influence in operations. I think it's one of those moments if the President spends some time talking to senators whose states may have been targeted, I think he can move votes one by one, and you only have to get to 51. Once you get to 51, we're at 49 in the Senate right now now in favor of the Save America Act. The president every day talks about it every day on Truth. He had an amazing post overnight about it. I think this is one of those things where, hey, even if you don't agree with the president, you've been fighting with him. Do you really want to find out that your state might have been intruded upon by a foreign power and you didn't know about it for five, six years? And when you look at what the intrusion is, it's pretty clear what the foreign power wants to have the capability to do. They want to do ballot box stuffing. What's the best way to make sure that ballot box stuffing, which can, you know, goes all the way back to Tammany hall and Chicago style politics, voter ID and citizenship really make it hard to ballot box stuff. And so I think the president has an opportunity to go senator by senator and move that vote along. There'll be some Democrats that will be deeply concerned about what the intel community has known. By the way, some of the people who were most forthcoming about this were people in the Biden administration and the intelligence community said, I can't believe that the Trump people didn't know about this. We learned about it, of course, they didn't say anything. But the idea that the Biden administration knew of this for four years should concern us all.

[Eric Bolling]

John Solomon. Amazing. Where do people go to get the show, the content, your podcast, the news site, all of it.

[John Solomon]

Thanks, my friend. Yeah, so justthenews.com is the website J. Solomon reports on all social media and I'm lucky enough to follow you and the amazing Eric Bolling back to back on Real America's Voice. Six o'. Clock. Just the news, no noise.

[Eric Bolling]

Not, not a bad, not a bad run there and then. And then you get stinch on the other side. Pretty good block of programming from some wild men. So thank you, sir John Solomon. Four o', clock, Sarah Bowling. Five o' clock, the war room. Six o'. Clock. John Solomon, seven o', clock, Grant Stinchfield.

[Nadav Eyal]

Wow.

[Eric Bolling]

Gruber before that, Poso before that, Charlie Kirk before that. And then back to Worms. Pretty good block of program. Me, John Solomon. Thank you, sir Eric Bowling. I'm going to play a clip after the break because I got to hold you through. But just give your bona fides to the audience again about your expertise in this particular area. Have you for 12 years put your own capital to work against the big best and the, and the biggest around and why that makes you a, an amazing window in which to see this. This, not just war, but massive geopolitical potential realignment in the world's energy markets and therefore the world's economy. Sir.

[Eric Bolling (Market Expert)]

Thank you, Steve. 35 years of trading, 12 on the trading floor where I literally go there every single day. My own money on the line and I trade against the big boys, Saudi Aramco, all of them, Shell, Exxon Mobil, the investment banks on Wall street, the private equity, you guys. And I just hand to hand combat every single day with these folks. And Steve, I've traded through conflicts, I've traded through Gulf wars, I've traded through things that I've seen this so many times before. And my, the reason why I was talking to you late last night into the morning was because I'm seeing the people who are advising the President and the people who are talking on CNBC and others. They're missing the whole point right here, right now. And my concern is that we're going to drive prices. Oil prices are up $103 a barrel right now. It was $120 a barre midnight last night. Backed off a little bit.

[Eric Bolling]

Hang on, the first trade when, when you, when you contacted me. The. Well, hang on. The first, the first time you contact. We talked yesterday after the, the, the attack. When we're talking about the attack in the next block. The first trade was a, was $19 up, right? It took it up to over 100, $109. I think the very first. This thing exploded right out of the

[Eric Bolling (Market Expert)]

box and they jacked it up to almost 100. 1948 is the actual high. Doesn't need to be here. We have there. I have a solution for you, Steve. We'll hold it off, but it will guarantee we never get ourselves into this ever again. It's a foolproof. No one's ever said it before. This is unique for the war room folks, because if Trump gets it and understands it, he has so much leverage right now. He can pull this off and we will never be Talking about another $100 barrel of oil, certainly in our lifetime. But we can do it too.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So everybody, everybody, everybody's running around.

[Eric Bolling]

The G7s running around. They all want to start tapping strategic petroleum reserves. The G7 met earlier today. What exactly is going on? You're saying, hey, we don't have a. Everybody's running around saying we have a problem about this. Eric Bolling saying, we actually don't have a problem with this. We got a problem with that. So walk through the Eric Bolling theory of the case.

[Eric Bolling (Market Expert)]

We do not have a supply problem. We have a dislocation issue and frankly, we don't. United States of America, America doesn't have that. So these SPR strategic petroleum releases, Obama did one in 2009, it didn't work. I believe Clinton did one as well. It didn't work. Biden did one in 2022, I want to say, when inflation was 9%, it didn't work. SPR is a very short term, more of a news hook than an actual supply resupplying any of our refineries. We don't have an issue supplying our refineries to produce gasoline. We have an issue of, of global networks looking like everyone needs to be on the same page with price. We don't, Steve. We use about 20 million barrels a day in this country. We produce about 13 million barrels a day. There's a very, very easy solution to get the other 7 million barrels, not just by drilling. I have a solution for you, but this idea that we're going to drain an SPR, it's 720 million barrels when at its peak right now there's only 4:15 because of what Obama and Biden did.

[John Solomon]

Did.

[Eric Bolling (Market Expert)]

They never replenished it. Oil went down and they just never replenished it. So we're at risk. When you delete your SPR from real supply disruptions, massive earthquakes or something where we can't produce our own oil, those are the reasons for the SPR not to tell the world we're going to release some oil, whether here or internationally. Like that's going to do anything. Right now there's a glut of oil right now. The issue isn't producing oil. It's building up so fast. There's no more storage. But prices are going up because of these talking heads on tv. My concern is, Steve, is that the folks who are advising the President have never really traded through these conflicts before, before, and they don't know what's on the back side of it. I do. I just, I've done it many times.

[Eric Bolling]

Hang on, hang on. You've got the storage problem now because you're not getting the relief valve of tankers going through the Straits of Hormuz. What the President's talking about is putting up some reinsurance money, which the 20 billion, I think is a fraction of what the reality is. It's 100 billion north plus. You've got a, you have to, you have to break off the Navy.

[Eric Bolling (Market Expert)]

Can we just talk about that for one second?

[Eric Bolling]

Go ahead. Go ahead, hit it. You're the expert. I'm just the guy in the dollars. Go ahead.

[Eric Bolling (Market Expert)]

You're, you're Saudi Arabia. You're a Saudi or you're, you're a shipping company. 20 billion. You're not going to risk four or five hundred crew members, lives and, and a shipment of crude oil for a, for a, for an insurance fund that totally has $20 billion in it. I don't think you need it at all, frankly. But if you're going to do that and somehow ensure, tell, tell that captain, go ahead, risk all those, your lives and you know, don't worry, we'll, you know, we'll pay you off, you know, a million dollars or whatever, no one's going to really do it. But if you want to do it, make it legit. Make it, make it three, two, $300 billion, not 20. I mean, you could blow through $20 billion if, if they line the Gulf and three or four tankers explode. I mean, it's not the solution either. It's really not. This. There's a very, very simple solution. I wouldn't call it simple, but with the leverage that Trump has developed, there's a win in here. There's a big win in here.

[Eric Bolling]

When you talk about the leverage Trump's developed. Before we go to break, we got about 30 seconds. Your turn. Because now we got Venezuela guana. You've got just in the Western hemisphere with hemispheric defense. We now have 10x what the persian Gulf has. Is that the leverage?

[Eric Bolling (Market Expert)]

Well, you do, but that is part of the leverage you want now. I'll give it to you now or after the break. Your call.

[Eric Bolling]

No, no, no, no, no. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. I rolled Eric Bowling out of the rack early this morning to get the answer. So we're going to take a short commercial break. I really appreciate you doing this. I love experts in the pits as only bowling can be. We're gonna take a short commercial break. This all came about because of Saturday night. That's why I'm so appreciative of real America's voice. The TRU in Denver, Robin Parker, sig. Our own team here at the War room do the Sunday show. We went to a bunch of the battle assessment yesterday. We're gonna hit on that. Eric Bowling's gonna talk to us about President Trump's leverage in a solution next in the world.

[Grant Stinchfield]

If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt? Let's see if we can help you with that. If we could. Give yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief from your credit card and other debt? I might have a solution. Here's why. Now's the time to make a move. This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books. They clean up past due accounts. They sell a write off the debt to clear their books. That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before you're in. That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage. And done with debt knows how to use this to your advantage. They monitor lender trends and understand the year end pressure on creditors. They used that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf. Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy or taking on new loans. Done with debt goes to work for you. Month one with one clear goal. To reduce your total debt and leave you with more money every month. Get started now because your leverage may disappear at the end of the year. Chat with a done with debt [e-mail] that's donewithdet.com donewithdet.com do it today.

His new endeavor to make sure people understand all that. We're going to get Joe on also this afternoon tomorrow. Very packed with all the information. I want to play something we're having this discussion because of obviously this war. As we told you the other day, the center of gravity of the war to me has been really the interesting thing has been the Gulf Emirates and the Persians versus the Arabs, the Shiites versus the Sunnis, the Muslim on Muslim. Right. But something happened Saturday night that's very disturbing. You know, you got Lindsey Graham and all these guys running around the world's greatest ally. Let's not play Dan Sr. Dan Sr. Is a guy from the Bush administration. One of their hacks went over to Iraq also. I don't want to say an agent of influence for the Israeli government, but extremely close in a mouthpiece. Let's, let's hear him yesterday on cnn and then we'll talk about what happened Saturday night.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Yeah, it is quite striking to see

[Nadav Eyal]

what a blow this has been to

[Eric Bolling]

whatever plan Iran had in thinking that

[Nadav Eyal]

they could attack the Gulf countries and

[Stephen K. Bannon]

have the Gulf countries put pressure on Israel and the United States to stop.

[Nadav Eyal]

Thus far, that hasn't happened. And it was quite striking to see NBC walking through the ball there in

[Stephen K. Bannon]

the UAE to show a force of defiance there that the country is still standing and beyond.

[Nadav Eyal]

It's also, it's also moving and impressive to see now the IDF chief of staff in regular, almost daily communication with his counterparts at the heads of these militaries of these Arab countries. This is what Nadav and I mean, when we were watching a region be transformed, just that, that all these Arab states in Israel are fighting a war, war on the same side.

[Eric Bolling]

Okay, that's not the clip I wanted, but I will get the clip I wanted. So yesterday, Dan Senior in another show on cnn said when the host asked him about the United States and Israel working together, he had never seen such integration. He had never seen. It was all one. We have they have people in our command center. We have people in their command center that the airstrikes, the coordination of the airstrikes, the missile strikes, all of it was something he had never seen before of, of two militaries working together. Then Axios and people should understand Axios is basically gets leaks from the White House all the time. They ain't giving them to Breitbart. And they're not giving them to Citizens Free Press and they're not giving them to Gateway Pundit, not the big ones. They always give them to Axios. You can see Axios. And they say from senior White House officials, they're also very close. They're members of the Axios team that are very close to the senior levels of the Israeli government and the idf. And so that's what they had this article yesterday about. President Trump and the military were shocked and stunned. I think the word they used was dismayed at the strike on Saturday night. The strike on Saturday night is going to be an inflection point because the the Israeli Air Force went after the oil infrastructure in Tehran. I think mainly storage facilities, maybe some refinery capacity. This was the fireball that was created Saturday night in Tehran. And later, first off, it made no sense strategically, if you see what President Trump and his team is trying to accomplish. The last thing we want to do, in fact what they're trying to do and tone down this effort in striking the Gulf is to stop any attacks on the desalination facilities. So they got water. But also make sure that there's no hits on their oil infrastructure, which will send old markets in turmoil as they have the Saturday night strike. And this is what's so shocking with Dan Sr. Basically telling us how the Joint Command works. It's impossible. Impossible. And I'm talking to people behind the scenes. It's impossible for that to have happened unless folks were misled. The joint. And you see this from Fanel. This targeting operation is at the most sophisticated level about exactly what. What we're degrading. It is a very methodical. It's what the Air Force and the United States Navy do for a living. This is game day. They don't make mistakes. You may have something go offline. There's this issue about the striking the girls school that's on a military base. Yes, those things happen in war. But the process is bulletproof because they practice over and over and over again. This is what they do to understand that we had something on Saturday night that was totally outside of the operating. Operating scenario of the American military or the strategic direction of President Axios reported President Trump was very upset and they were going to deal with the highest levels of the Israeli government to make sure everybody got on the side. Same page. This is so dangerous. And it shows you what Sam Fatis was talking about yesterday. You're in an alliance, but what are the objectives of the two entities? I would say that the American government. The American people's strategic objective here is quite different than the Israelis. And you even had Lindsey Graham came out on a tweet with a cleanup aisle three saying, oh, we gotta understand, take the big picture here. We can't make these mistakes. Saturday night was a major inflection point. Understand it. Somebody in the Israeli military and government made a decision that they were gonna do it their way and not in conjunction with, with the United States of America. Full stop. Short break. Eric Bolling on the other side, you know, you still need help from the boss.

[John Solomon]

We need help from the boss.
