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 on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it.
- [00:18]
Eric Bolling
I know you don't like hearing that.
- [00:20]
Steve Bannon
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.
- [00:24]
Neil McCabe
And where do people like that go
- [00:25]
Steve Bannon
to share the big lie?
- [00:27]
Neil McCabe
MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
- [00:34]
Eric Bolling
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
Friday 13 March yer Verlored 2026 briefing from the Pentagon Day on how the war is going. Matt Boyle and I believe even as we were speaking there, the President we're going to get this clip pulled in a second as Matt Bowell was saying how he doesn't believe the President's going to endorse Cornyn right now that the President was talking, I think to Brian Kilmeade over on his radio show and said, hey look, I would like to endorse but but the Save America act comes first. We're going to get more details in this hour, hopefully about what's going to happen next week on Stoon brings it. But still he hasn't convinced enough of his colleagues that we need to go to the talking filibuster and the talking filibuster is the only way right now. Conceivably this thing can pass and the President's not looking for optics. Clearly it would be great to force these Democrats just like the President did at the State of the Union where he basically set it up, laid the trap and closed the trap on national TV about, you know, the first priority of someone elected to office is the protection of American citizens, not illegal alien invaders. And the Democrats couldn't stand up for that. That was a magnificent moment of that great State of the Union next week could be that as you force these guys up to debate at least maybe for a couple of days as it looks like that's what's going to happen. But unless you actually make them defended because of the filibuster rules right now, you'll never get closure with the 60 votes and so it'll just go away. The President's not looking for optics, although he would love to force these guys into the corner and make them defend it. He actually wants it passed. That's a big difference. So we'll get into all that. Eric Bolling here. We're going to talk about oil. We got there on more of the military operation. We have updated news, though, at the White House. At the White House, sir. Tell us the military just. Neil, the military just put an announcement on this tanker,
- [03:03]
Bradley Thayer
right?
- [03:03]
Unknown Military Analyst
So the K135 tanker that crashed, it was originally four killed and two injured. The crew is typically four, two pilots, a boom operator, an engineer. So this crew was obviously bulked up for the mission. And now the Pentagon is saying that six were killed. So that would be the.
- [03:26]
Steve Bannon
Six were killed also.
- [03:27]
Mike Lindell
Go.
- [03:28]
Steve Bannon
The whole crew. Go to the. Go to the. You're saying earlier about targeting going west, because there's only clarification clearly, to the east is the Straits of Hormuz and all this asymmetric warfare that's going on there. Mining operation, some sort of mining operation. It doesn't look like they want to pursue that because it's pretty evident the regime needs cash money and that's why they're allowing the Chinese Communist Party's vessels to go out with their oil. And now we know our great allies in Italy and France, who I'm sure are going to come out and deny it after they've been outed by the Financial Times. They're trying to cut a deal to have their. Their oil get out. Also, you said that you actually think some of the targeting is going west. To the west, I think, is those mountain ranges you got Pakistan. All that is. Is this because of the nuclear program? Is this because of other basically redoubts that the Revolutionary Guard had dug in at?
- [04:30]
Unknown Military Analyst
Well, first on the Straits, right. The states of Hormuz is the number one most important choke point in the entire world. And effectively the Iranian government has replaced Lloyds of London as the insurer of record there. And so they decide who goes in and out and that will be resolved. I'm sure people are working on that right now. But on the targeting, the nuclear fuel, the storage, the sort of, the borrowed bunkers, that's all in the central and east of Iran where you're getting into the mountain ranges. And so you can drop bombs and bunker busters on those facilities, but the uranium, enriched uranium, is still there and somebody can possibly grab it. And so I think that's why you're going to see insertions of special operations if you haven't seen it or it hasn't happened already. Certainly the Russians, certainly the Chinese, there's a lot of people who could go into those mountains and try to dig out some enriched uranium. And so that has to be locked down.
- [05:32]
Steve Bannon
Steve yeah, that's why you're talking. I think they're already as a trial balloon trying to say hey, we may need to actually go in there and get it. Neil, just hang on for a second. Let me bring Eric Bolling in. So Eric, you've had a couple of days of cold shots here on the, on the oil situation. First off, what do you think about allowing the Chinese Communist Party? I think it's 11 million barrels I've read that they've taken out because they needed it's essential to both Venezuela and the Iranians and they had long term, they had amazing output deal with Venezuela that virtually looked like they were paying under market for it almost. And they've got a very special long term output deal with the mullahs. They used to pay with their own currency. We understand they're making them pay in dollars now. But what do you think about this situation where the Chinese Communist Party get theirs out as best and said hey, it's not mine because there are certain vessels with certain flags getting out. And now the Financial Times of London is reporting that are that Italy and France are separately in direct negotiations to get to get their ships out with their oil.
- [06:41]
Neil McCabe
Sir, again Steve, we, we you and I have been texting through the night. These are all band aids. Some have Disney characters on them, some have, I don't know, Looney Tunes. They're fixes. None of this is moving. The oil market, Brent, is still up over a hundred dollars a barrel. West Texas Intermediate is unchanged today, which is I guess a plus I think what if you watch being I'm sure you talked about it in the first hour but Pete Hexeth, something very, very important happened today and I was texting Pete afterwards like this is. That was your, that was the best, that was the best things I've heard so far. What we've been talking about for a week now, Steve, we needed to up the pressure on Iran, right? And, and the only way you really get them to negotiate and you never negotiate with terrorists but you put them to the point where they either come to the table or they're dead, they're wiped out. And Pete basically said today, watch what happens today. Trump said it too. Watch what happens today. The most kinetic force dropped onto Iran will happen today. So they're not scaling it back, they're increasing the pressure on Iran. I think it's important because look what else is happening. Iran has no defenses right now. They're depleted. Their military is depleted. They don't have defensive missiles. They don't have. Their navy is sunk in essence. But what they do have are these sleeper cells in America. In the last three weeks, Steve, there have been four Iranian friendly or slash ISIS attacks happening in the United States. Yesterday we had the synagogue in Michigan. We have old Dominion shooting, one dead. The two IEDs thrown in New York City. And let's not forget in Austin, Texas about three weeks ago. Three and a half.
- [08:20]
Mike Lindell
Yeah.
- [08:20]
Neil McCabe
Three weeks ago there's a man who killed three people with the Iranian flag on his chest. So this is their only fight right now. This is a fallout. Yeah, but like I said, I think we really need to up the pressure. What we're doing here in with the, with the straight of Hormuz. I sent you the video yesterday. I hope I. Maybe if you didn't get it, your audience would love to see it. There's a video on one of the things I sent you. We talked about it yesterday. The Iranians have. Well, the United States has sunk. They're big vessels that lay mines in the waters. Those are big above the sea level vessels. They have submersibles that are basically mines. They're unmanned and they're, they're underwater submersibles that carry mines in them. And they have thousands of them. Look at the video. It's incredible. It's confirmed that that's their video. We need to get, we need to really put our foot, our boot really hard down on, on the Iranian IRCG because I don't think, I don't think Minnie Ayatollah is. I don't think he's capable of making any decisions right now from some faraway bunker.
- [09:28]
Steve Bannon
You're right. We actually said. And Pete and then the General Kane re emphasized today's going to be. And this is day 13 and they've already had I think four or five. Hey, this is the most, this is the worst day. They're going to get power. So they're powering up again. This is going to be as Pete said and then General Kane reaffirmed it, this is going to be the most intensive day of kinetic warfare. Also they implied or essentially said in so many words we have air supremacy that now we're just over Tehran picking targets and going in on those targets. And we don't have to use the standoff weapons anymore. The very expensive high tech. You're back to a lot of. It's back to WW2 gravity bombs. Right. Maybe A little more sophisticated, but. And as Pete said, we have an unlimited stock of them. Do you think that that military operation is now changed to the objectives of degradation or destruction of their military capacity is changing through actions? Maybe not so words right now. Back to regime change. That they figure since these guys are going asymmetric in the Persian Gulf, in the Straits of Hormuz, that our Arab allies and our European allies are saying, hey, we got to have this open. If we're not going to have gasoline and oil that blows through the roof and topples our governments or monarchies, you've got to get it. And so the actual intention is to continue this unrelenting bombing for how many weeks it takes to make sure that we've absolutely destroyed root and branch, whatever remains of this regime.
- [11:07]
Neil McCabe
I think no matter what we say we're going to do in the Strait of Hormuz, the threat of what the Iranians still have the capability of doing will prohibit the Strait from being fully opened until there is some sort of either surrender or deal cut. And I prefer the deal rather than the regime change. Surrender, as we've been talking about. But maybe they're listening to us. Steve, I've been sending them the videos every day of this discussion that you and I are having. And we've been saying step it up, get them to relent, get them to their knees, and then they'll be much more willing to negotiate on your terms. And maybe they are. It is always the better strategy if you're going to do doesn't matter what the original strategy was, what the original plan was. You know, they say the, the enemy of a perfect plan is a, is a good plan. Maybe they had an idea and now it's changing. It's evolving as they go. But I I with the superiority that we' over them, I think there's an opportunity where we do get, whether it's a molefaction or the IRCG to come to the table and say, okay, enough. What do you want? That's the point where you cut that oil deal. You cut the deal where we control the additional oil barrels and we win, we win forever.
- [12:21]
Steve Bannon
Talk about what does it mean? Because now it's been up for several days when you have Brent, which is basically the marker, I guess, for the world's oil at 100 bucks and you've got West Texas, what, intermediate at 95 or 96 bucks, and it looks like it's holding there. What, what does that mean to people? Explain what that means. Yeah, and what's the implication sure.
- [12:42]
Neil McCabe
The implication is is the longer it stays here, the longer you're going to have a four dollar gallon of gasoline at the pump. It's going to hit it there at some point in the next 30 days. Brent is the European, mostly the European model. A lot of other foreign countries use the Brent. It's pulled out of the North Sea of Northern Europe. West Texas Intermediate is West Texas. Obviously the reason why those are relevant, they're a finer, a lighter crude oil, they're easier to refine. Venezuelan crude is very heavy, it's very thick, takes a lot more refining. You get less gasoline out of those, you get heavier products from, from the refining process out of the heavier crudes. So our crude, the West Texas Intermediate is about the best in the world with the exception of maybe Brent which is a little bit lighter. That's why there's a five dollar difference between the two of them. But they run about the same price together all the time. The their benchmarks also. So there are crudes produced in different countries and whatnot but they're all benched based on West Texas Immediate or Brent. Those are the two major crude oils. But to stay at hovered $100 a barrel. When we were flushed three weeks or four weeks ago, we were $57 a barrel for West Texas Intermediate, about $61 a barrel for Brent. And that was on its way down. So we can get back there and we will. I sent you a chart where the longer it stays at 100 or 110, the longer it's going to take for it to get back down to reasonable, reasonable prices. Another thing that no one's really talking about, Steve, is with the threat in the Middle east there's a lot of shut ins. So in other words, when we talk about shut in, shut ins, when a country that produces oil pulls it out of the ground or someone who refines any the processes, they don't stop it, they just shut it down temporarily.
- [14:28]
Steve Bannon
Hang on one second. I want to get to that, I want to get to the important question. That's what I was trying to say first. The longer it's it's got to 100, how long it stays there is also the implication of how you unwind it. We're going to take a short commercial break. Natasha Owens is going to take us out. We'll be back in a moment. What about when you took your shot and the one you called came? Where is your song?

Seems like Saturday nights are nights of particularly intense military activity. So we want to make sure you're up to speed on everything. If the, if the, the American forces can go 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so can Real America's voice in the war room as we feel it is necessary, we have experts on here to talk about every aspect of this war. One of the most important parts is capital markets. President Trump pays attention to it. You saw on Monday.

This is not about oh the price of gold is this today. It's about an informed consumer, an informed investor is a customer that Birch Gold wants. So go check it out today talking about markets.
- [18:17]
Eric Bolling
So Eric, explain that to people.
- [18:18]
Steve Bannon
I want people to understand this because Bloomberg's got these set of charts about put up on Getter yesterday and everybody should go follow us at Getter. That's also totally free that the longer this stayed at certain levels, the higher gas prices are going to be in the heart. You know, it takes a while also to unwind it. So this thing popped to what, a hundred bucks I guess over the weekend or on Monday. Brent over 100 West Texas, which is always some gap is 96 or 97. A lot of speculators in there, a lot of companies trying to hedge against future risk. But just walk through the mechanics of it of why that is a number that people tend to focus on.
- [18:59]
Neil McCabe
Well, so we actually 119, 48 in the West Texas Intermediate and Brent got to 125 on Monday night briefly. So the reason why it matters is the reason why it is at $100 a barrel. Brent95 WTI is because of the shut ins that are going on in the Middle East. We had plenty. We were kind of well flushed. The world was well flushed with 100 million barrels of oil production a day. And it was, we were in sync. Supply and demand were in sync. That's why we're retreating towards the $50 a barrel area. And then this thing started and so the Kuwaitis started to pull some refining offline. The Saudis are pulling some of their production offlines. Couple of Middle Eastern countries. And don't forget we've talked about this all week. I've been on this show for I think starting last week, six or seven days. And Steve, I really would love people to understand that as much as the Saudis and the Middle Eastern countries say they're our allies, want to be our allies. Of course they do. They want to be enemies of Donald Trump. Absolutely agree with that. They also like the $100 price tag on oil because it greases their economies. And so when they, they have a reason to pull production off. So it's not just the straight of Hormuz. The straight of Hormuz can open tomorrow. It'll Take time for the refineries and the production to ramp back up because they bring the production down quickly because they have cover, they've got news cover. There's a war going on in the Middle East, a conflict going on in the Middle east, so they can pull back their production. And what that does is once the strait opens, they'll work through some of the oil that's backlogged, but the production has been lower for, like I just said, the longer it stays at 100 or $110 a barrel, the longer it's going to take to ramp up the production to meet that supply again. So it'll come down, it just will take longer, depending on how long we stay at the elevated levels.
- [20:56]
Steve Bannon
The President Trump was all about full spectrum energy dominance and it got to as low, I think 50 bucks or 52 bucks. And he wanted even lower. I mean, he's, he's all for lower oil. I think it's 60 bucks is what the industry said. Do you anticipate post this? Because the industry always wants higher prices and it'll do anything to kind of, you know, head fakes or whatever to get prices higher. Do you see that happening or do you see eventually coming back to the full spectrum energy dominance level of President Trump? Because the economic turnaround here, I mean, we had 120 bucks a barrel during the illegitimate Biden regime because of all the madness he had throughout the world, plus his Green New Deal scam and all this, you know, everything he had about hating, basically, hydrocarbons. Do you see us going back? Do you see an ever, I mean, right now, do you feel that, like, Scott Besson and Treasury are even in right now, actively trying to, like, make sure that they suppress the price here so it doesn't blow up the American consumer and it gets President Trump's economic turnaround back on track?
- [22:05]
Neil McCabe
So unfortunately not. Even though Trump can tamp down the price of oil, you can do things that bring oil down. Donald Trump is the only human being ever to bring oil to a zero. In fact, it went negative $20 a barrel during his first term. During your term at the White House. First time it ever happened, never happened before. Look back, folks, if you don't believe me, trust me, it went negative $20. They were paying people to take the oil off their hands. Here's what'll happen. The whole emphasis of the Trump midterm strategy was affordability. Going into this war that got blown out of the water with the war because oil prices are tied to every single thing in the world. We just had an inflation number come out today that showed tame inflation. But guess what that was through January. What happens when March numbers hit, when oil prices hit, jumped up to $100 a barrel. Inflation's going to rip, going to rip to the upside. What he will do, I believe he will do. He will do everything in his power to get the oil price down and he will be successful. He did it once, he'll do it again. That means opening up more federal lands for drilling, opening up more LNG terminals, opening up more areas that they can drill deeper and further for natural gas, liquefied natural gas. He has the tools to do it. I'll tell you what else he could do. Just do a fast approval process. I know he's talked about it, but do a super fast approval process to open up nuclear plants. There's a lot of nuclear plants that were shuttered that are sitting there. They're siloed. They can be restarted very quickly, maybe within six months. I'll tell you what though, the minute this thing, the conflict ends and oil starts to settle down, he will throw everything at the price of oil. I bet we go below $50 a barrel.
- [24:00]
Steve Bannon
But in that you're, you're saying you've also recommended that don't touch the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. In fact, I think they're taking it down. And remember, Biden didn't refill it after he used it. So the President, I think has said 100 million barrels of the 472 million.
- [24:16]
Neil McCabe
172 million. Steve,
- [24:22]
Eric Bolling
I'm glad they took your record. I'm glad they took your recommendation.
- [24:26]
Steve Bannon
Yeah.
- [24:26]
Neil McCabe
The SPR full capacity is about a 720 million barrel. Full. Full. Biden brought it down to 415 million barrels. Almost half. Just above half. Right. Never refilled it. Promised he would refill it at a lower price. He released it at 120 a barrel, said he would refill, never added a single barrel back in. And we were sitting at 415 when Trump took over. Now we're going to be 250 million barrels. That's about a 10 day supply for us. We need. I told you, Steve, we should have more than a billion barrels in our spr, if not more.
- [25:04]
Steve Bannon
Yeah. And just keep it there, never use it Right before we go. I don't want to bury the lead here. They had the inflation number today. It is back in January, but it shows. And this is why I said at the time in November, don't get too worked up on this affordability. The Democrats trying to use It. President Trump's got a plan. It's about economic growth, it's about jobs, and it's about rising wages. That's the key. You do that, the affordability is going to take care of itself and there's only so much you can unwind. But you saw the cutting, the rate of inflation. He has it under control before we started this war. So President Trump's plan was working, and in particular in the affordability. And then you had this. Now you've got this war. It's going to, you know, it's all bets off about where this goes. But his core plan, you agree Eric, was starting to show tremendous results?
- [25:55]
Neil McCabe
Absolutely. Absolutely. And Steve, I've said it. I'll take it to my grave. I've said it since the day I met you before, I don't know, 30 years ago, whatever. We were hanging out with Andrew Breitbart. Oil is the key to inflation. In this country, where we use 20 million barrels a day, that's about 20, 25% of the world's oil use. We alone in this country, oil is tied to everything we do. When oil goes up, inflation goes up. Biden and the Democrats are too stupid to realize that there should be a policy just get oil under $130 a barrel, because we could. You want to talk about affordability and inflation? We have no inflation at a dollar thirty barrel of oil. None. There's nowhere it would be coming from and no reason to do it. And then. You're right, you're right. Raise wages. Those are all good. But Trump was on the right path until this happened. Oil is. It's an Achilles. It really is.
- [26:52]
Steve Bannon
Eric, where can people go, particularly a new show, the Edge, over on YouTube. Where do they go to get you for the 4 o' clock show? Social media. You're putting up updates on your thoughts on oil and gas all the time. Where do folks go?

Eric Bolling
Okay, can we talk about what's really happening right now? New data shows financial stress is at an all time high. Millions of Americans are at a breaking point. Debt maxed out, no extra money, no room to breathe. And this isn't just lower income households anymore. Middle class families are hitting their limits too. This isn't about reckless spending. Everyday people are running out of options. So if debt has been weighing on you, you're not alone. And when it comes to debt, waiting usually makes it worse. Interest piles up. Minimum payments keep you stuck. You don't need another loan and you don't need bankruptcy. You need a strategy. That's why I like done with debt. They've built a smart personalized plan around you, their experience and knowing what it takes to get you the biggest reductions possible. Whether you owe $10,000 or much more. Done with debt has one clear goal.

Do you have any idea how much diesel they have to burn to mix that much concrete or make that steel and haul this out here and put it together with a 450 foot crane. You want to guess how much oil it takes to lubricate that, that thing or winterize it. And it's 20 year lifespan, it won't offset the carbon footprint of making it. And don't get me started on solar panels and the lithium in your Tesla battery. And never mind the fact that if the whole world decided to go electric tomorrow, we don't have the transmission lines to get the electricity to the Cities. It'd take 30 years if we started tomorrow. And unfortunately for your Grandkids, we have 120 year patrol petroleum based infrastructure. Our whole lives depend on it. And hell, it's in everything. That road we came in on, the wheels, on every car ever made, including yours. It's in tennis rackets and lipstick and refrigerators and antihistamines, pretty much anything plastic, your cell phone case, artificial heart valves, any kind of clothing that's not made with animal or plant fibers, soap, hand lotion, garbage bags, fishing boats, you name it, every. And you know what the kicker is? We're gonna run out of it before we find its replacement.

Oh, the thing that's gonna kill us all is running out before we find an alternative. And believe me, if Exxon thought them things right there were the future, they'd be putting them all over the goddamn place. Getting oil out of the ground's most dangerous job in the world. We don't do it because we like it. We do it because we, we run out of.

From Landman, Billy Bob Thornton explaining, I think that was to his daughter, how oil and gas, petroleum hydrocarbons and everything, everything we do. And that's why it has such a big impact on the economy. But go to Thayer. I just want to make sure. Although there has been a downtick in some of the numbers, some of the growth numbers from the fourth quarter and I'll hopefully get into that this afternoon or if not, I'll get into tomorrow morning. Although this afternoon I am going to focus on this mass deportations remigration issue, particularly as it's tied to these attacks now happening in the United States of America and what is specifically going on in Texas, but the economy, particularly the affordability. This is what I kept saying over and over again. Don't get too weirded out on affordability. Your plan is hitting, it's working to stick to the plan. Affordability is going to take care of itself. It's growth, it's jobs growth and its wage Growth, that's what's going to drive it. Just stick to finish what you started. That happened we now know in the January number inflation now just to be it's all bets off. This is a roll of the iron dice of war. And in doing that you up geopolitical risks. One of the reasons I keep telling people now more than ever you got to go talk to the Birch Gold guys just to get more information and understand how all this fits together. Dr. Thayer, your assessment and I want to thank you for the great work you've been doing for the war room posse and but your assessment, you heard Pete today and here's, here's why They're I think a good combo. Pete is like in your grill. He's, you know, coming over the podium. He's, he's getting up in the face of the mainstream media particularly and he called him out. And look, whether you love Pete's style or maybe you think it all be toned down a bit, he's 100% correct. Like on this ABC and some of this false reporting that and this is what I admire not just about Caroline Levin and the team at the White House, but Sean Parnell and the team over at the Pentagon. They're all over people you're going to put out lies or not backed up, we're going to force you to retract it. Then you got raising Kane and just one more time about General Kane. President Trump met him and President Trump is never really discussed as much as it should be. We had a major military operation in the first year of the Trump administration and that was the physical takedown of the ISIS caliphate, which was a physical entity, not some online. We're recruiting ISIS guys to, to go in and try to kill RROTC students at ODU. This was a physical caliphate. Mattis was obviously at the Pentagon, but the guy who ran that was General Raisin Cain. That's where President Trump met him. When President Trump went in theater and then developed a relationship. And General Kaine is very, it's no brag, it's just fact. They get a plan, they execute on the plan and you just see it. The ISIS situation was the same every day. There's just new developments. But here's the plan. And of course there was we, there's guidance and we'll shift if we have to, if the circumstances on the battlefield required. But I think we took down ISIS in four months. Whereas Obama and these guys told it was generational. That was raising cain. Then number two on the ending of the 12 Day War a magnificent expeditionary operation of the United States, flawless. And then in the Venezuela situation, even probably, maybe more complicated, flawless. So the president has a lot of confidence in General Kane. He has a lot of confidence in Admiral Cooper. You can see that. And these guys are all the same. They kind of sit there, boom, here's what we're going to do, here's how we're doing it. If things come up, we'll deal with it. Bradley Thayer, your thoughts and assessments, sir?
- [35:39]
Bradley Thayer
Well, they were both excellent briefs, no question about it today. And General Kane really gave an exceptional one, saying, we're now over 6,000 targets that have been destroyed. Steve, we're talking now about war termination. From our perspective, what's going to cause this war to terminate and what's been consistent in President Trump, as well as Secretary Hegseth, General Kaine, Secretary Rubio has been when Iran no longer has the weaponry to threaten the US Israel or other allies that has been identified as ballistic missiles, their launchers and production facilities, production capabilities and storage capabilities. In the briefings today, as well as in the last couple of days, we've made great progress in destroying each of those target sets. So that's very positive. The president also said that we are going to defeat Iran's hegemonic ambitions. And when he said that earlier this week, and that begins to alight into leadership targeting, that begins to alight into a political consideration as well. So what's going to cause war termination for us? We're making great progress on the ballistic missile front. We have on the Navy. Their air defenses really have been largely destroyed. Their air force has been largely destroyed. What's the weight that we're putting on defeating Iran's hegemonic ambitions? Additionally, we need to think about, well, what's going to cause this war to end for Iran, right? When is Iran going to say, enough, we've incurred enough, or is Iran going to say that? Are they just going to continue to try to draw the war out, inflicting pain on us at Hormuz, or by attacking allies in a scattershot way? Right. It may be that a week goes by and there's no attack, but then one day there's going to be a large attack. So the asymmetric tool that Iran has may ensure that, although our conception of what's going to terminate this war is quite clear, the Iranians are going to do their utmost to ensure that it's drawn out, that perhaps it never ends, it becomes some type of a cold conflict. So how much is enough? How much is enough to destroy their military capabilities? How much is enough to ensure that they no longer have regional hegemonic ambitions? And is Iran going to accept it? Those are the critical questions today. And we're reached this point because of the great success of the US Military. Right. The US Military has gotten us to a point where we can talk about war termination. And now the issue is going to be can we get Iran to accept war termination or not? Right. Are they going to drop that?

Dr. Thayer, there's breaking news that just came across our desk from the Wall Street Journal and I think it's been confirmed by the Pentagon. And I'll go to Also to Neil McCabe on this breaking news. Pentagon is moving additional Marines warships to the Middle East. The Pentagon, this is quoting the Wall Street Journal. The Pentagon is moving additional Marines and warships to the Middle east as Iran steps up its attacks on the Straits of Hormuz. According to three U.S. officials. Defense Secretary Pete Hexa has approved a request from U.S. central Command, responsible for American forces in the Middle east, for an element of an amphibious ready group, an attached Marine expeditionary unit, typically consisting of several warships and 5,000 marines. The official said the Japanese based USS Tripoli and its attached Marines are now headed for the Middle East. Two of the officials said Marines are already in the Middle east supporting the Iran operation. The move comes as Iran's attacks on the Strait have paralyzed traffic through the strategic waterway, disrupting the global economy, driving up gas prices, imposing a major military and political challenge for President Trump. A Pentagon spokesman declined to comment for the story. Your thoughts on this situation? Sending a Marine ready group which we had off the coast of Venezuela, obviously the Tripoli, home ported in what, Yokosuka or Yokohama, heading out. Your thoughts, sir?
- [40:25]
Bradley Thayer
Well, my thoughts are these. First, that's a very important signal. It's signaling Iran that these Marines can seize territory that could be Carg Island. They could be involved in a force protection mission for special operators who are working against fizz on Iranian highly enriched uranium or other leadership targets. Or it may be used for pinpricks essentially to keep the strait open, the Strait of Hormuz. So it's a very powerful signal to Iran that the US Is prepared to deploy US Marines either force protection mission or to seize territory or both in the area. So it signals the US Is escalating, willing to escalate to take territory in, in Iran. And so I think we need to think about that Marine.
- [41:25]
Steve Bannon
I noticed what I, what I, what I, what I think is important. What, hang on. What I think is important is we just had a Pentagon briefing a couple hours ago. This was clearly in the works. I think that would have been best to put forward to the American people because this is a major escalation. First off, you're signaling with the heaviest kinetic activity today, air supremacy, the ability to pick targets at will and continue to destroy the regime. And as Neil said, also go to look like some of their redoubts in the mountains. The, you know, Pete's kind of, it wasn't glib, but it was kind of a toss away about the Straits of Hormuz to say that you're just not going to go with naval forces to ask US Escorts, which is still a couple of weeks away. The reason for that, as I said, my brother was part of the tanker war in 87 and 88. I was there earlier, but those days was much simpler. It was hard, but much simpler back then because you just had the difficulty of the radars working and being able to track. Now you have drones, which puts the combatants at exposure. It's just not simply putting a combatant on a tanker and oh, we got a destroyer on a tanker. It's going to be fine. It's much more complicated than that today. But this is, you're right, this, this sends a signal to, to Iran, but it also sends a signal to the American people. This is a major escalation. Now you're talking about 5,000 Marines in the area. We already have Marines obviously stationed and naval personnel in army in these bases throughout. But you send an amphibious ready group and specifically in the Wall Street Journal, they have three US Officials saying it is for potential activity around the Straits of Hormuz. That's. You're all of a sudden, that's an escalation. I think that would have been best to fully put that out at a morning briefing where you can actually answer some questions about it. Anyway, we're gonna go to commercial break. Stick around. We're also going to the White House. We got Neil McCabe breaking news out of the Pentagon and amphibious ready group, 5,000 marines. Remember, we talked about this a lot off of the coast of Venezuela that led up to the operation there. We're gonna take a short commercial break. We'll be back in the war room in a moment. Do not forget Birch Gold. Now more than ever, immerse yourself in the information and avail yourself to all the different methodologies. You can do this with Philip Patrick and their team. That's the key. Short break. Back in a moment.

Fellow patriots, the Federal Reserve has betrayed America for over a century printing fiat, inflating away your savings, serving globalist masters. But President Trump is ending it. President Trump is wielding a 112 year old law to reclaim control over the rogue Federal Reserve. He's replacing Jerome Powell, slashing rates and igniting America's re industrialization. This isn't theory. Government backed industry plus low rates unleashes super cycles. History repeats. Gold's already exploding. Miners are up 400% in the last year. What Rickards is calling Trump's gift is wealth for American patriots, not global handouts. Now it's America's turn. Gold to 27,000 in the coming years.

Steve Bannon
Pentagon just announced through Wall street journal they're moving 5,000 fleet Marines, combat troops into the general area. They imply it's or didn't imply and said that it was about the straits or Hormuz. Neil, we got a bounce. Got about a minute. Your thoughts about this? Sir,
- [45:34]
Unknown Military Analyst
I think it's extremely significant. You can't do things everything with bombing. Eventually you're going to have boots on the ground if you want to secure territory and I think that's what they've done.
- [45:47]
Steve Bannon
Neil, where do people go to stay up with you? You're doing a great job over there. Where they go.
- [45:54]
Unknown Military Analyst
You can find me at reporter McCabe on all the socials. Steve.

Steve Bannon
Thank you, sir. Dr. Thayer, obviously we're going to have you in over the weekend with us. Where do people go? Closing thoughts about a minute and then where are you going to? Where do people get you?
- [46:09]
Bradley Thayer
Well, it's a threat of major escalation that we would seize territory, Carg island or points, Strait of Hormuz or other missions that the Marines might fulfill. So that introduces of course the danger of turning this into a war against the Persian people if the seizure of territory is seen to be us essentially grabbing territory rather than in a limited way. So Steve, major escalation, the threat of major escalation and the points about war termination I think might be a bit premature. This is going to go on for weeks, at least weeks to come. Brad Thay at X or Bradley Getter in truth. Steve, thanks very much.
- [46:58]
Steve Bannon
Thank you. And we're doing Saturday morning and we're doing Sunday morning on a special and trust me, there's going to be enough to talk about both days. You do Want to turn in? Stay in for this. Trevor Comstock, talk to us about specialists you've got for the War on Posse. People want to know about it.

Trevor Comstock
Yeah. Great to see you, Steve. So just heads up. We are currently running our St. Patrick's Day sale. So you can use Code Patrick at checkout for 20 off any one time order. Of course, our Tyler moisturizer has been extremely popular if you do want to compare it to most commercial skin creams on the market, unfortunately those are usually filled with, you know, synthetic ingredients, fragrances and alcohols that can actually damage your skin barrier over time. So it's essentially why we created the product. But the formula is just clean and simple. And again, it's made with the 100% American grass fed and finished beef tallow and then the raw manuka honey. And each jar is handmade so we really don't skip anything when it comes to quality. Like I said, it's been flying off the shelf and it's great for things like dry skin, irritated skin and you can use it pretty much anywhere on your body. So definitely encourage people to check out the reviews. There's been some amazing success stories and of course, if you have any questions, just let us know.
