Steve Bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. You're just not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul,

I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

Steve Bannon
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

Steve Bannon
It's Monday, the 9th of March, year overlord 2026. As I said, it's from the movie 12 O' Clock High. Hey, we're in a shooting war now. We got to win this thing. Whether you like how we got here or you don't like how we got here. And I'm not crazy about how we got here, but you've got people in harm's way. In fact, we had another KIA announced last night. Now, to be brutally frank, I don't remember. And we follow this pretty closely. It was, it was announced they got killed from injuries on March 1st sustained in Saudi Arabia on an attack on American military. I don't quite remember that being reported on the 1st of March. And I realize you have OPSEC, you definitely have OPSEC, but if you want to build support and build real support, that's going to last more than 24 hours. But I mean, really build support for your endeavor. There's just gotta be a different messaging, there's gotta be a different information. I keep saying CENTCOM has got to get more like Norman Schwarzkopf in explaining and giving the big picture of what we're trying to accomplish here. And let me be specific about that. And you know, I think the world of Pete Hexseth. Nobody fought for Pete Hexeth's confirmation more than this audience and this show when they were about to trade Pete Hexeth out for Ron DeSantis. We had Pete Hexes back, and then we had Pete Hex's back to get to 50 votes, which then Vice President Vance had to put in the 51 to get him confirmed. That being said, the 60 Minutes interview last night, you just can't sit there and go shine us on about imminent threat. Oh, yeah, it's not immaterial. No, it doesn't work like that. The people in the messaging department over there got to get serious about this and this whole thing. Short term pain for long term gain. Yo, the American people are not known for taking short term pain when it comes to economics, particularly oil and gas. So I'm saying the messaging has to conform with the military strategy without giving away the signatures. President Trump, as I keep saying, he wants optionality and wants a range of alternatives. And never box him in because he's a disruptor and he can pivot hard. But you're going to start losing people if there's not consistency. And last night was 60 minutes just to kind of shine on imit threat. No, no, no, no, no, no. Incorrect, sir. Incorrect. Mr. P. Texas. It was imminent threat. And I'd like to know about that imminent threat because I think you showed last night. I think there was not an imminent threat. And now we're in it. Now we're in it bowling. And you know this thing is going to explode. So tell me once again why people are misinterpreting what's happening on the oil and gas situation when right now it looks like Kuwait got hit. There's been a barrage. As we've come on the air, I think there's been a barrage. Rabbi Wolicki told me there's been a barrage into Israel of missiles from these guys. And they proved yesterday. And I think the sun's already been hit already. These guys are the hardcore. First off, they're Persians, so they got an attitude to start with, right? And then you layer on top of, you know, you take the Zoroastrism off and you layer on top of this radical form of Islam, which is martyr based. They're digging in. And look, you can dig them out. You got the greatest military in the world and they can deliver a punch. Hey, and the Israelis punch way above their weight, too. But bowling, walk me through the situation with oil and gas. You're saying it's being totally misinterpreted. And you've got President Trump has massive leverage. And if we use that leverage, we're going to see sunlit uplands. So today is a day I need a sun. I need to be able to see a sunlit upland. So that's why we dragged a lot to do this. What do you got?
- [04:41]
Eric Bolling
If I may just start this off with, you know, one of the things that you probably don't like about me, although I think it goes hand in hand, I believe America First. I believe Steve Bannon developed America First. I'm a libertarian So I hate foreign conflicts. To start off, however, we're sitting right now at a 4. We're going to be in $4 gasoline territory within a week or so. No matter what happens down the road, if it stays oil, stays above $100 a barrel, we're going to hit $5 a barrel. That's bad for the economy. Worse for the economy is the diesel number.
- [05:10]
Steve Bannon
$5, 5, $5 a gallon. Hang on. 5, 5, 5. Hang on, 5 a gallon. You're saying if it stays above a hundred bucks for a week, you're gonna have $5 gasoline. Okay, what about. But what about diesel? Yeah, what about.
- [05:24]
Eric Bolling
Country runs on every single product. Every product in the world really has a diesel component to it. Right now, diesel's 450 truckers are, are getting painted. The pump, it's going to be five, it's going to be six. No matter how fast this, this conflict concludes, that's real, that the economy is going to. Jet fuel jumped 140% fuel three days ago, and it's not even including the $100 barrel right now. So everything we do to transport food products, everything will get more expensive. That's inflationary. The economy is at risk. So the libertarian in me says, well, what do we do about that, Steve? Here's your, here's the solution. Now, Trump has developed a lot of influence. He's got a lot of cards to play. He's got a lot of trump cards to play. Venezuela and Iran right now, specifically Venezuela has the ability to produce, and they used to produce 3 million barrels a day. Right now there's, because of all the corruption over the last 20 years, Iran has the ability to produce 7 million barrels a day. They're producing three because of the sanctions and whatnot. There's a very, very smart solution, but it takes guts, it takes cojones. And you got to go in there. And Trump's the only guy that can get this done. I would love to help him do it. I know he could do it. There are public private partnerships right now in petroleum. Saudi Aramco is mostly owned by the Saudi government, but partially owned like Petro China, Petrobras, Brazil, Gazprom in Russia, public private partnerships. You have Venezuela and you have Iran on their knees right now, put your foot on their neck like you are, and then say, I'll tell you what, the American boot comes off your neck. The minute you sign a relationship with the United States where our oil companies achieve you, we get your additional production that we can get you to. There's 7 million additional barrels between and Venezuela that we could help them produce. They would still. We would produce it. But guess what happens then, Steve, I told you earlier, we use 20 million barrels of oil a day in this country. We produce 13 million barrels a day. The gap between what we produce here and use is 7 million barrels. We can guarantee for our lifetime never having to need another outside force with the exception of a Iran and Venezuela, which we would own as a partnership going forward as part of a deal to let them go back to being sovereign countries. Very simple. They get what they want, they get their country back. We get. We want what we want. Oil independence, real oil independence. No one's ever come up with this. No one's ever thought of this. This is the way to do it.
- [08:07]
Steve Bannon
What, the boot on the neck of the mullahs. Is there no chance that Guyana and Gulf of America, other opportunities we have here, can ramp up to that level? To take Iran, you would have to do it with Iran.
- [08:24]
Eric Bolling
Iran has 3 to 4 million additional barrels of production per day that we could, we could extract. They were there in 1995 or so and it's slid ever since. We can ramp up their production. They haven't been able to do it on their own because they wanted to go with this nuclear proliferation pipe dream that, that no one should allow them to do. Part of the deal should be, we're going to do a private, public, private partnership with you with our oil as to the additional oil bring you up. So you're not going to be any worse off. Just the additional oil that we allow you or, or produce with you. We're. It's going to come down fair price at a market price. Oil will Never spike to $100 again, ever, ever.
- [09:09]
Steve Bannon
Venezuela. But people tell me that the, the, the infrastructure has been so decayed under the mismanagement of the Venezuelan Marxist that will take us years to get up to speed. This plan of yours, if you go and tell President Trump you got the, you got the leverage. Actually, if you started this afternoon, when's the first time you could actually get this type of production up is a year, two years, three years.
- [09:34]
Mike Lindell
Yeah.
- [09:35]
Eric Bolling
Within months you'll start to increase. It's not going to ramp up to triple the level it was at one point in the late 90s. But, but you start, you start the process, Steve. There's no reason oil should be $100 a barrel today. The reasons $100 a barrel maybe goes to 1 10, 12 0. Who knows is the news and the media and the hype and the speculators and the Wall street guys pushing the price up with it. Everyone is panicking. And when, when there's panic, the vultures, the Wall street folks, the vultures add to the panic and push prices up. They always come back down. This is not a supply. There's no reason. Supply reason, Supply, supply and demand reason. For $103, which it just traded $103. There's no reason for that. When you eliminate that because you say, you know what? The United States is the big dog in the space. We use more oil than any other country on the planet by far. And so when there's a fear of disruption of oil, Kuwait says we have to force majeure. Oil today, they declare force majeure. Price spikes $10. Kuwait, it's a couple million. It's a million barrels a day at the very max. It's not a permanent force majeure. It's temporary until the Strait of Hormuzzo. Here's a way to get to eliminate all these stupid news stories, all these stupid talking heads that are talking a huge, you know, end of the world game on television. We fix it. Here's what should be important. We never dependent on another foreign drop of oil in the entire history of America. Think about that.
- [11:07]
Steve Bannon
Well, it is. You're our dependent. You're just in some joint. You're in some partnership where you're the controlling entity or somehow you've got a working agreement where you're calling the shots. The old 51 itself is not exactly from the right 51% with President Trump, the chairman. President Trump's the chairman. It's gonna be another peace boy. President Trump's in charge. You have to deal with that guy every day. Right. No, we're. This is what we're gonna do today. Before I lose you real quickly, let's go back to the Straits of Hormuz and I the insurance. Right. Because guys are calling force majeure all the time. They're. They're going to want guys to pay for this. So talk to me. The $20 billion.
- [11:49]
Eric Bolling
How right you are?
- [11:50]
Steve Bannon
Yeah, sure.
- [11:51]
Eric Bolling
How right you are.
- [11:52]
Steve Bannon
Yeah.
- [11:52]
Eric Bolling
The reason why declares force majeure and maybe some of the other Arab countries that are getting hit are going to declare force majeure is because those oil barrels that they were going to ship and transport were traded about 60, 55, $60 a barrel. They're seeing $100 price tag. They can declare, legally declare force measure deals broken.
- [12:11]
Steve Bannon
It's now they're getting five bucks it's enough. Yeah, it's a total. You're 100% right. It's arbitrage. Anyway, we got a bolt. We're going to do this again. We'll work on today and then do it again tomorrow because that's so much more about this. What. Where do people go for all your content, including your new. Was it the new show the Edge? We talked to. Talk to people that have the Edge, sir.
- [12:33]
Eric Bolling
Yeah, we talked to badasses all over the country. It's the Edges on you. I'm really proud of being the leading show to the war room at 4 o' clock into your warm episode on. On Real America's Voice. It's been great. It's been great. Great relationship, Steve, I appreciate you. And we, we launched the show on the War Room a year and a month ago.
- [12:54]
Steve Bannon
Amazing, amazing. Eric Bowling. But Eric, social media also, because you're putting stuff up all the time. Where do you go on social media?
- [13:01]

- [13:32]
Eric Bolling
That's what we do.
- [13:34]
Steve Bannon
Oh, man, I love it. I want people to pile into that day. Bowling, you're the best. Talk to you after the show. We'll work on this. President Trump with all the leverage to basically take the speculation.
- [13:47]
Eric Bolling
You know this folks very well. Send it in. This is the best idea. Guarantee they're not thinking about it. No one's ever said that. And that's, that's the solution. That really is a solution.
- [13:55]
Steve Bannon
We'll get, we'll get the clip over there. Thank you so much, Eric. I appreciate you taking time this morning to do this.

Senator Amy Klobuchar
That I believe you're a good and decent man who's been dealt a very difficult hand. I was listening with interest to our friend and colleague from Minnesota talk about the Russian investigation and I agree with her 100% that it is our responsibility to get to the bottom of what exactly happened due to Russian involvement in our elections, much as they got involved in the elections in France using a combined process known commonly as active measures. It's a combination of cyber espionage, it's propaganda, it's a use of social media through paid trolls who can actually then try to raise the visibility of some of this propaganda such that it then becomes part of the mainstream media and becomes accepted and part of the debate in democratic societies. I believe that we, we do share a bipartisan and universal commitment to get to the bottom of what happened in our last election. Senator Feinstein has said recently that there is no evidence of collusion between the administration and Russia. But I think she would share with me a commitment to not stop there. People are concerned, and I share that concern. And we need to come up with a program of countermeasures to deal with this because the Russian government has been amping up their game for some time now, and now they are operating at certainly dangerous levels when it comes to trying to interfere in our most basic democratic institutions like our elections. Rod Rosenstein was confirmed by this body by a vote of 94 to 6. It's because of his distinguished record, most recently as the United States Attorney in Baltimore. That's why the investigation of the bipartisan Senate Elect Committee on Intelligence is so important, in addition to the hearings we're having on the Judiciary Committee, which the Senator from Minnesota and I happened to be on as well. So we do need to get to the bottom of what happened, and I'm confident we will. It is our duty and we will get the job.
- [18:04]
Steve Bannon
Do you have confidence in Dr. Fauci after his testimony yesterday?
- [18:07]
Caroline Wren
Obviously, Senator Paul Braun, I mean, Dr.
- [18:11]
Senator Amy Klobuchar
Fauci is a very. He's a national treasure like a lot of the health care providers we've been hearing from.
- [18:20]
Tucker Carlson
So, I mean, reassure Republicans who voted for Trump that none of this is being slow walked. I know a lot of people who work on Capitol Hill who are Republicans who did not vote for Donald Trump. They voted for Hillary Clinton. Some of them are in your office. By the way, are you sure that your staff. It's true. Are you sure that your staff and the staff of other leaders on the Republican side of the Senate and the House are really supportive of this agenda?
- [18:44]
Senator Amy Klobuchar
Madam President, ours is a nation with a split screen of a battle on two fronts. One is the pandemic that we've been fighting now for many months. And the other is to continue the fight to defeat racial injustice that has sadly divided our nation since its very inception. One week ago today, George Floyd, a native Houstonian, was tragically died in the custody of of a law enforcement officer. As the gut wrenching video of his death spread, so has the passion and the anger among all of us who wonder, how can something like that happen? Our Constitution guarantees every American the right to protest injustice. And I believe we all have a responsibility to stand up for what's right and condemn what is plainly wrong. People of all color, backgrounds and ages are demanding that justice be served. In the case of George Floyd, the First step in that process came on Friday when the officer who had him in custody was himself arrested and charged with third degree murder. This morning I had a very good conversation with Judge Merrick Garland, who President Biden has nominated for Attorney General. Judge Garland's extensive legal experience makes him well suited to lead the Department of Justice. And I appreciated his commitment to keep politics out of the Justice Department. That is my number one criterion for who should be the next head of the Department of Justice as Attorney General. And I think both sides should support a depoliticized Justice Department. And that's what I hope. Judge Garland once confirmed the White House
- [20:32]
Senator John Cornyn
today with a number. The speaker, the majority leader of both houses, trying to figure out how to advance the President's agenda and get it accomplished. And we are on that path as I speak.
- [20:44]
Tucker Carlson
Well, part of his agenda is building a wall. He campaigned on it. Your state voted for him in part because of that. And then you were quoted the other day saying you're not for a wall and the people of Texas are not for a wall. What gives you that impression? Consider I think he won your state nine points, something like that. Pretty definitive win one running on the wall. Why would you think your voters would not be for that?
- [21:03]
Senator John Cornyn
Well, I'm the Texas border and one reason I took my colleagues to Texas was to show them this 1200 mile border, some of which has 3500 foot cliffs in the Big Bend area where no wall is really necessary. There are other areas where infrastructure is important, barriers, if you say so to speak. But it's really a combination of personnel, technology and infrastructure. We're working right now with the Department of Homeland Security to come up with a plan to actually implement the President's goal of securing the border. It's long overdue and I fully support that. We intend to try to make that happen.
- [21:40]
Mike Lindell
But.
- [21:41]
Tucker Carlson
But he said I'm run. I mean, not to be a stickler on semantics, but he said I want a wall. I want a big beautiful wall. I mean that was from the first day of his campaign until last. I want a wall. So why would you think that voters in your state exempting like the cliffs, but for the rest of the border, why wouldn't they want a wall too? Didn't they vote for that?
- [21:57]
Senator John Cornyn
I don't think they. I think they voted for border security. How we accomplish that, I think they expect us to use our best judgment to try to accomplish. It's really just a matter of political will. We know how to do it. It's the problem has been we haven't had a president who actually believed in border security. We do now. We're fully trying to support and implement that effort together with Interior Enforcement, which represents people who come in and overstay represent 40% of illegal immigration. And we don't do nearly enough to discourage that.
- [22:28]
Senator Amy Klobuchar
Right.
- [22:28]
Tucker Carlson
So for sure. So you think with the president, when they voted for Trump, they weren't voting for the wall he promised. They're voting for Republican senators to figure out how to secure the border. But they didn't really mean a wall when they voted for a guy who promised a wall.
- [22:43]
Senator John Cornyn
They expect us to use our best judgment and our experience to accomplish that goal, I think. And a wall, I have to tell you, Tucker, is not going to stop illegal immigration if you don't have the personnel on the ground to catch them, if you don't have the technology, the eyes in the sky in order to detect them so Border Patrol can actually get there in time. There are places where a physical barrier is entirely appropriate and we ought to be putting. But we ought to come up with the right combination that allows us to accomplish the goal efficiently and effectively without wasting taxpayer dollar. That's been my goal.

Caroline Wren
luncheon to hear U.S. senator John Cornyn deliver the State of Congress address.
- [23:33]
Senator Amy Klobuchar
I can say from firsthand experience that a new giant wall between the United States and Mexico, from sea to shining sea, makes no sense whatsoever.
- [23:46]
Steve Bannon
You've said that you think it's time for the Republican Party to move on from President Trump. What do you mean by that?
- [23:54]
Senator Amy Klobuchar
Well, you know, in politics, unless you can win an election, you're pretty much irrelevant. And I just think it's critical that given the direction of the country now under the Biden administration, that Republicans nominate somebody who can win a general election. President Trump has a very enthusiastic following among a lot of his base. But one thing I've learned through numerous elections is, yes, that's fine in a primary, but the goal is not just to win the primary, it's to win the, the general election. And to do that, you have to appeal to a broader range of voters, not just your base. So as a, as a tactical or practical matter, I have concerns about the president's ability to win in November. And I think winning in November is critical.
- [24:40]
Stephen K. Bannon
It is simply and purely shocking. He doesn't care about you, he doesn't care about his voters. Any decent person that gets booed by their voters. Any decent person that all of a sudden gets rebuked by the very people that gave them political power would stop and say, maybe I'm heading in the wrong direction, and they'd back off. Instead, John Cornyn gets in front of the entire Texas Republican Convention and gets booed. And then he goes back to D.C. and says, I'm going to show those people. I'm going to show the deplorables. I'm in charge, not you. I'm the senator, not you. I'm in charge. I have Never, in my 10 years of doing this, seen such an intentional, brazen and defiant mode of action as what I have just seen from John Cornyn. I'm not saying it's the worst bill I've ever seen. That's not true. I'm not saying that it's the. The worst vote I've ever seen. That's not the point. The point I'm making is I have never seen in my 10 years of doing this, someone so openly rebuked by their voters and then so quickly turning 180 degrees around and saying, I don't care. I've never seen it. Usually when you show up to a town hall and you confront them, they say, okay, I'm done. I'm gonna change my vote. Cornyn doesn't like you. And he jokes about it. Actually, Cornyn hates you. He knows he'll still get money from his corporate donors. He knows that instead of being allied with his voters and be like, maybe there's something I could learn here. He pokes him in the eye and says, no, no, no, no, no. I'm the senator.

Caroline ran I just want to say that the the Charlie Kerr clip was from about three or four years ago. I think it was 20 late, 22, 23, something like that. But it was like we'd ask Charlie, as we often did, say, hey, can you come on at the 11:30, can you come on the C block of the war room? And Charlie would get up and sometimes we'd talk about various topics. That's how eerie was. I mean he had it nailed. I mean, Charlie Kirk makes the case of what we're talking about today. So I don't see how and it's not just people got to understand this because he's pushing Lisa Monaco. It's not corny doing a typical politician. This is very different and people must understand this. The people in Texas understand it. Hopefully the people around the president are saying it. This is not that Cornyn misspeaks or says something that later everybody has that you can play a clip or something. He is one of the driving forces for the protection racket of the deep state in Washington D.C. that's why he's been around for 24 years. That's why the all. Why do you think he's got all this money? He's got $80 million spend to. To destroy Ken Paxton? Because Ken Paxton is the exact opposite. They can't replace. If they could replace Cornyn with a younger version of Cornyn, there would be no problem. There would be no fight. It's that they're replacing him with a MAGA warrior, an America first warrior. That is what's so unacceptable to the apparatus, and that's what this fight's all about. Cornyn is central to this. John Solomon starts the show with all the investigations in Maricopa county and in Georgia and all of it. And folks, we're in 2026, and people are fighting every day behind the scenes. That's how tough it is. And I asked John Solomon at the end, what do we need to do to continue to have President Trump's back? So he drives us. So we get to the conclusion. Cornyn and I said, it's against massive resistance. That's what Cornyn represents. Those clips show that he is. He thinks it through, whether it's Ron Rosen Kranz or Rosenstein or Lisa Monaco. It's not that he's on the wrong side of a couple of issues. He's part. He's a systemic part of the problem. Caroline Wren.

Caroline Wren
It's true. And as you were just saying, you can find a clip of anyone saying something. For example, let's go to the Fauci clip. There was a lot of people, including Donald Trump, who in the beginning of the pandemic, when it was scary, you know, who were saying nice things about Dr. Fauci. That clip, though, just so we're clear, when John Corden called Fauci a national hero, that was in response to Donald Trump had just come out and said, enough is enough, Fauci. We've got to open our schools, we've got to open our businesses, we've got to take masks off of our children. And John Cornyn runs the. CNN is asked about that, and that is his answer. And that is over and over again. So even with these clips, we're finding we're being pretty fair to Cornyn. It's not like we're. I mean, Lisa Monaco, too, by the. Lisa Monaco, it had fully come out her involvement in Russiagate. That speech that he gave was on the Senate floor when Biden had nominated Lisa Monaco to be the Deputy Attorney General of the country. And we knew he is the head of the Judiciary Committee. He knew everything that Lisa Monaco did in relation to Russia and still went on the Senate floor to give a full throated endorsement for her nomination. This is why the corny stuff is so bad. I just, I cannot even believe I knew he was bad, but just.

Steve Bannon
It's not bad. No, no, no, no. Don't use bad. Don't. No, no, no, no. Don't, don't use, don't use bad. Don't use bad. Don't use bad. It's damning. It's damning. What you've been able to compile is damning. It's damning. This is, this is not even a close call. Like I said, the. Paxton is so different than that. He's a. We have a problem. We have a systemic problem with the deep state, right? A systemic problem. Part of that problem, you got Lindsey Graham and Cornyn. You got a. Two thirds of the Republican senators are in business with them. Cornyn's one of the leaders of that and he sits on important committees to do this. The whole weaponization and lawfare against Trump and his followers and J6 and all of it, because Cornyn took the lead on that. This is what, this is not a close call. And people that are working for Cornyn should be ashamed of themselves. Should be doing this for money. Should be ashamed of themselves. Corny.

Caroline Wren
According to Tucker, they voted for Hillary.
- [34:16]
Steve Bannon
Other problem, 100%.
- [34:20]
Caroline Wren
And half of his staff works for Hillary. I mean, sorry, half of his staff that works for him voted for Hillary. I mean, like those, the Senate staff, the D.C. establishment, they despise Trump. They despise everything that MAGA stands for. You can. So, I mean, with Cornyn, he just reeks of it, right? And, and people have been asked me, they're like, caroline, where are you finding all this oppo on Cornyn? I put this for those of you watching at home. If you want to help with this, it's pretty. There's five steps. One, google Donald Trump controversy. Two, pick a controversy. Three, google that controversy plus John Cornyn. Then four, sift through dozens of statements from Cornyn criticizing Trump for said controversy. Step five, repeat the process. That's how easy it is. And, but I just, you know, there's endless. The amount of floor speeches that he'd given. He always runs to go to interviews with C Span, PBS, MSNBC. And they're all out there. I think maybe 5% of them have come out
- [35:17]
Steve Bannon
the Hutzpah. This is that his, his one positive campaign commercial. Because of the $80 million, 90% of it was tearing Paxton Apart was about the wall. You would think he was sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom. He was so close to Trump. But every photo is in front of the wall. And I don't think there's any person, correct me if I'm wrong, on the Republican side that fought the wall. And since you're the senator from Texas, you got some say so there. Right. And just constantly, we don't need a wall. We need, you know, a couple of barriers. He hated the wall. He's one of the leaders in fighting the wall. And yet his spot. Because he thinks people are stupid. Note to self, people are not stupid. And they can see this. What they just need to see is see it in his own voice. And that's what you're doing. And the people that are crowdsourcing this are just in his own voice. Right? And he still had the guy that the comms director, that's another Trump hater, is attacking you, saying, oh, you don't see the big picture here. He's 99.9% in back of Trump. That's just another lie. And it doesn't wash anymore. That's the important thing. It doesn't wash Carolina.
- [36:26]
Caroline Wren
No, he can't back up any of those claims. Everyone loves to say that they voted 99% with Trump. The whole premise of that answer is ridiculous anyway. Most of those are like procedural type of votes. And especially when you have someone like John Cornyn, who again with every, every single time the media or anyone has criticized Donald Trump, Cornyn has run to a television camera to pile on and criticize Donald Trump as well. So when you're faced with the facts here, which is campaign is, I think, struggling to deal with right now, there's just no justification that you can make for any of this. And I wish more of this had come out earlier. But the problem, too is just the amount of money, right? They're running television ads that are just corn and Trump, corn and Trump, corn and Trump. And they're putting tens of millions of dollars behind it. And so if you're a low propensity voter who's not going out and searching for your own information here, and you just kind of tune in right before elections and you go vote, maybe you wanted to vote in your county race and you just see the incumbent senator, like, that's why it's very hard to take out incumbents. I mentioned it's no Republican or actually either party. No incumbent senator has lost their primary since 2002. That is 25 years since an incumbent senator has lost a primary that's why what Paxton has done with almost $0 in the most expensive state, a massive state like Texas, is so unbelievable and impressive and also why he is a more electable candidate in the general.
- [37:55]
Steve Bannon
Well, this is why there's going to be X percentage, I think 10 to maybe 20% of the MAGA base that just will never vote for John Cornyn. It's not going to happen, particularly after the vitriol in this first round. The vitriol is coming in the second round. What is your call to action? Obviously, a lot of the war and posse in the MAGA base are very upset about this. They want to take action. I think putting these clips up the last week has really, I think, empowered people even more. Now. They really want into the fight because they understand there's a. There's a huge stake here about the direction of this. So what's your call to action? Where do people go?
- [38:33]
Caroline Wren
I think for a second, I want to touch on. We've talked a lot about why Cornyn's unelectable, but I want to speak to why Ken Paxton needs to be elected. Why is D.C. so against him? And is, of course, you have to follow the money. Go look at the money behind this primary. It is all the major corporations and the lobbyists. And you know why they don't want Ken Paxton? Because Ken Paxton does not answer to money. He is, in fact, sued every major corporation in this country as a Texas Attorney General on behalf of the people of Texas. He has sued BlackRock, Vanguard, State street for conspiring to manipulate the energy markets. He sued Meta and forced him into a $1.4 billion settlement for violating our privacy rights. He took on the CCP by suing Sheen Team Youth for toxic products at Spyware. He sued the opioid companies securing billions. He sued all the major insulin manufacturers. He sued Eli Lilly. These are the same companies that fund groups like Senate Leadership Fund and the NRC and others. This is why they're pouring millions in. And this is why you the people have got to step up to fight these corporations, to fight the D.C. establishment. Get Ken Paxton in so that you actually have a senator. It's very rare to have this, a senator who is going to fight for you and not for the pharmaceutical companies.
- [39:44]
Steve Bannon
Exactly. And that couldn't be more clear. And this is why you know Paxton or Cornyn as a central defender of the deep state. And Paxton is a. Remember when all these comments were going on, when Cornyn was rubbing up on Biden and telling you how great Judge Merrick Garland was going to be. And we have to take politics out of the Justice Department. Look at those brazen lies to tell you how dumb he thinks you are. At the exact same moment in early 21 in those confirmation hearings where Cornyn's glazing them in approve confirming Lisa Monaco and Merrick Garland and everybody. All these demons, all these demons that we're now finding out with the investigation of Solomon and what's going on in the FBI. All these demons that weaponized the Justice Department against President Trump and his followers to try to destroy this republic on an illegitimate regime that stole it in the first place. Cornyn's their lapdog, glazing them at the same time. Remember what you were doing, having the back of a guy like Ken Paxton. Ken Paxton came on the show as the first guest after the phony inauguration of Biden. Remember, he had the circles drawn in and like 50 people showed up. We were up on the roof for the first part. We went, got back into the war room for the five o' clock show. First guest, Ken Paxton. What did Paxton say? Where they're inside the Constitution, I'll support them. Where they're outside the Constitution, I'm going to go to court. I think Paxton was court the next day on the executive orders he signed to start the fricking invasion of our country. And Cornyn saw it and corn supported it and corn and glazed them. This is not even close. This is an outrage. Go back in time. You have to remember the history here and you have to remember the people that stood in the breach. Paxton stood in the breach, and what did they do to Paxton? They didn't impeach him. This show was the platform to stop them in their tracks, to try to destroy Paxton. They knew Paxton was going to come and run for the Senate. You have to understand what's going on here. You want to drain the swamp. You want to beat down the corporations destroying this country. You want to beat down this political class, this ruling class that sat there. And this is why I say don't blame it all on the Democrats. The Republican establishment is just as guilty as controlled opposition in the destruction of this republic. In exhibit one is John Cornyn. So if you don't stop it here, I don't hear any whining afterwards. We know what our task and purpose is. So everybody put their shoulder to the wheel. Let's get to work. Where they go?

Caroline Wren
Wren, that was brilliant. I totally agree. And they can follow me at Caroline Wren on X True Social and get her.
- [42:28]
Steve Bannon
Thank you, man. Appreciate you Keep fighting.
- [42:31]
Caroline Wren
Thanks.
- [42:32]
Steve Bannon
This is not close. Remember the history, particularly this audience that was there, particularly this audience that fought it every day. Remember when President Trump exiled to Mar? A Lago? Remember that? Remember? And then Cornyn with all puffed up during the interview. Well, you know, elections are about, you know, being able to do screw. You don't want to hear your happy talk. Trump not only ran the tables in the primary as we said he would, he then came back and won the presidency in the greatest victory probably in American history in 2024. Disgusting. Does Ken Paxton have faults? Absolutely. President Trump has faults. Caroline Wren has faults. Stephen K. Bannon has faults. Ken Paxton has faults. Posobis conundrum. He's got faults. Praise the rosary to try to pray to God to overcome them. But we all got faults. Paxton does too. It's not the point. In fact, it's irrelevant to the point. Short break. 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 or write off the debt to clear their books. That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, they lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before year end. 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 use 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 specialist@donewithdet.com that's done with debt.com donewithdat.com do it today.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

Steve Bannon
So we do have the clip, but I'm not gonna be able to get it. Cut to this afternoon of Dan Senior Sobeck, you're an intelligence officer and senior was on CNN yesterday and we have the clip. I'm gonna Play this afternoon when we have it trimmed, that there's never been a more organized integrated command structure for targeting between the Israeli military and air force and IDF and the American, that they're in the same room, the same com, and yet we have on Saturday night an Axios which is totally dialed in. And people said, why are you putting the left wing, hey, you know why I put it up there? Because they're totally dialed into the White House. You see it all the time with Caputo and those guys. The White House leaks directly to them and then they're totally tied in to the IDF and to Netanyahu's office. So they're pretty dialed in. And they say, hey, the American command was dismayed. In fact, the president's so upset, he's going to call the senior guys over there and say, what in the hell's going on? I don't want oil assets hit because it's going to take this in a different direction. It is impossible, Posobec, for them to be any miscommunication in this command center unless something was hidden from the Americans. Sir.
- [46:41]
Jack Posobiec
Well, Steve, of course, when you talk about joint targeting, this is something that we also it harkens back to the Ukraine war, where we remember that in the auspices of Ukraine, that there was a targeting center operated out of a gymnasium on one of the US Bases outside of Stuttgart in Germany, where a lot of the Ukrainian general staff, the targeteers, would be sitting with American targeteers. They'd be sitting there painting Russian targets, Russians in the field. And of course, many have pointed out other President Trump says that he, that he hasn't seen evidence of this, that some of those rumors that Iran, or excuse me, Russia has been providing targeting of American forces and American bases to Iran, that of course harkens directly back to that. Who have we also seen providing targeting information is the Chinese Communist Party. And the CCP with their satellites are putting up near real time imagery again and again of American targets, American shipping, American bases. China is filming, for lack of a better term, in real time, the American war machine and the Israeli war machine. To understand everything about our refueling times, our reloading times, our tactics, our procedures, they could see everything from their eyes in the sky. However, when it comes to the issue of strikes. And of course, I read the Axios article as well from Caputo and Ravid. These guys have been dialed in from before the start of this, they called the start of this, that it talks about that the expansive nature of the specific target packages that Israel hit over the weekend and Everyone saw, of course, those striking images, the plumes of smoke, the oil fires, the gas fires, reminds a lot of people of the images of 1991, the Gulf War, when the oil fields of Kuwait were set on fire, that once again we're seeing those, those stark fuel fires and this time again, right over the skies of Tehran, that this, this article saying that, you know, you've got White House officials saying that the US Was not aware that the scope of the Israeli strikes, these 30 air, these 30 fuel depots which are hit on Saturday, went far beyond what the US Expected when Israel notified its advance, sparking the first significant disagreement between the allies since the war began. And of course, this is something that the President has talked about and has been tweeting and truthing about all throughout the weekend is the impact of, on oil prices, the impact on, on the fuel supply to the world, the impact
- [49:05]
Steve Bannon
of all of this.
- [49:06]
Jack Posobiec
We've seen gas prices, oil now over $100 a barrel, looking at 120 very rapidly. We haven't seen a steep escalation in the global price of crude. The price of crude per barrel like this in decades reminds people a lot of 2007, 2008, the surge hit, coupled with the financial crisis of when gas prices were topping $4 a barrel. And keep in mind that was four, or excuse me, $4 a gallon, and that was $4 a gallon in 2008 dollars. So you're, you're looking at $5, $6 a barrel a gallon here in 2026 numbers. And so with President Trump saying, well, wait a minute, you know, we wanted to have access to the oil, we wanted the United States hopefully be able to receive the oil similar to the Venezuela model, which has been pushed out again and again since this conflagration began. And it also, Steve, speaks to the ability perhaps to, of the, of mission creep, the situation of mission creep, whereby in the initial hope and the initial planning was for a quick collapse of the regime. Decapitate and delegate, just like in Venezuela, this is what the Wall Street Journal called it. But instead what you're now seeing is attacks on the oil infrastructure. And as I said here the other day, this is something where Iran could very quickly retaliate because the one country in all of this that is not an oil rich country is of course Israel itself. And Israel's military is fueled by oil that comes predominantly 50% to 60% from Azerbaijan. That's why you saw those attacks early on by the regional commanders, were told of the IRGC when they were given that Independent control and fire control that they're targeting was directly on oil supplies that flow from Azerbaijan through pipelines into Turkey and then down into ports at Ashkelon and Haifa where they are then refined and then given out to the IDF and of course the Israelites to Israel proper. And so this is something that Iran could very quickly ratchet up to be able to put a huge dent in Israel's ability to make war on them.
