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. 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?
Eric Bolling
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.
Eric Bolling
War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.
Steve Bannon
It's Wednesday the 15th of July, year of our Lord 2026. There is a lot going on in Washington D.C. and around the world. We're going to get to all that. Todd Blanche is being grilled to be confirmed as Attorney General of the United States. Jay Clayton, I think not so much. We're gonna get to Clayton. I'm sure they're gonna go after him on, on what's going to happen Thursday night, at least as currently scheduled. Let's put the pin in that and say it's currently scheduled. Bowling's going to join me a second. I want to thank Birch Gold. I think now more than ever we got a lot of economic news and obviously the world's in turbulence. There's all types of reporting out there, including at Axios they got a scoop that the White House not backed off of. The President Trump yesterday spent a and this is Axios reporting. The White House has not denied this, but the president spent a significant amount of time in the Situation Room with a potential massive bombing campaign. Now I think they're actually one of the alternative plans is infrastructure. Oil infrastructure, bridges, power plants, all of it. I think that's the third part. But they clearly are going after additional radar sites, missile launching sites, things that heretofore I believe was told. We were told it's all gone. Maybe not because this is a quite big escalation. So we'll get to all that I think now more than ever. Birchgold take your phone at text Bannon B A N N O N 989898 that's the simplest way. All the information is free. There's no obligation. So you have nothing to lose. Let's try to get you smarter about the world's capital markets and about physical assets like gold, oil, other things not related to the US Dollar, I guess related to the US Dollars. I can't say it's unrelated, but there's going to be a lot of pressure on the US Dollar. Philip Patrick is going to join me Saturday. We're going to go through some of these massive deficits we're running. It turns out the reconciliation is $350 billion and it's a big increase to defense spending already over on top of the 1.1 trillion we just authorized. So we'll get into all that. Also, home Title Lock's got the Special on the 250th anniversary. It's 25 off. Hometitleock.com Steve25 Talk to Natalie Dominguez, the team about the 1 million dollar triple lock protection protects you against AI and cyber rogue lawyers, rogue accountants, rogue significant other. Has anybody ever had that? Don't know. But protection in case you do protect your title because 90% of your net worth is tied up in that title of that home, every dream you ever had, 25% off two year. Natalie Dominguez and the team will give you the full breakdown. Eric Bolling, we're gonna get back to Todd in a moment. But a lot of economics. So the 20% of which I was joyous about, although it goes against free navigation, but hey, somebody's got to pay for it, you were not. So you were once again taking your trader mentality and say, hey, look at these numbers. When people wake up to the amount of money we're taking off our vigorous on the Saudis, they're going to build bigger pipelines or they're not going to do this. The president did say later in the day he had taken a couple of three calls, I don't know, randomly Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar. And he upon further review, he changed it to a trade and investment deal. Your observations on that first before you get to the inflation numbers, sir.
Eric Bolling
So when, when it came out and Steve, you're to be honest, you're the first one who told me about the 20%. We happen to be going on that changeover in the 4 o' clock show. And I was like, wow, that's big. And we did quick pencil and paper math. It was $32 million per crude oil vessel that goes through sometimes 80, 90, 100 crude oil vessels pass through that gulf in a day. And that number comes to close to half a trillion dollars, $32 million per vessel. Later that evening I saw at 6:30 evening news ABC pointed out $32 million a vessel. And I think maybe it got Back to the White House that this is a huge, huge number. And here's what happened. Problem is, once that number was released, oil was trading around $69 a barrel. The minute that came out, Steve, it jumped up $10, 75, 77, 78. It's trading 80, 81 right now. And on top of it, I'm talking to my trader friends this morning and they're now saying that for the 110 days that we were kind of blockaded, there was a lot of excess crude oil sitting in storage tanks around the world and they worked through a lot of it. So it's a week to week. Is it going to be higher? Is it going to be lower? And I'll give you one more derivative of that. So we jump up to $80 a barrel for West Texas Intermediate. That's ours because it's a global. Oil is a global market. Pump prices just hit $3.90 on the way back up already. We spent what, three weeks lower in price and we're headed back up in pump prices again at the wrong time. We look at the Democrats, socialists around the country working to say you're free market capitalism is unaffordable. You need socialism, you need Democrat socialism. We lose the midterms, we're screwed as a country. So I would love to see a $3 $2.50 gallon gasoline. But again, I think that ship has sailed going into the midterms because we spend so much time futzing around with a bunch of fanatics that want to kill us no matter what.
Steve Bannon
Here's the reality when we look at the polling, the real polling, not either the left making a case or, or the hawks trying to make a case. The American people just not disengaged in it. They're just not that engaged in the Iran situation. You got to be blunt about it. It's an Israel deal. They're just not that engaged in it. And even the nuclearization or the nuclear weapons doesn't have a lot of traction. Clearly you don't want them to get a nuclear weapon, but you did. You did the, you ended the 12 day war with total obliteration. Now they may have some, you know, nuclear dust or some other things that can all be taken care of some other way besides full scale war. You told the President magnificently brought the 12 Day War to an end without regime change and holding Netanyahu and this crowd back. That started with the decapitation move on that first Thursday night and Friday. The nation is just not engaging. But they see that this has Taken away. It's opportunity cost. A major focus on the, on the domestic economy and what we need to do to do mass deportations and everything else that President Trump was voted in for overwhelmingly in a landslide in war with Iran at the, at the bequest of Bibi Netanyahu and these in the Greater Israel Project. And President Trump was blunt the other day. He said he had a phone call and they leaked the phone call and the phone call. He told Netanyahu, I want you out of Syria and I want you out of Lebanon. I was southern Lebanon. That is ending from his mind, the Greater Israel Project right now. If Israel wants to do this, and I say prove you're not a vassal state, prove that you're not a, a protectorate of the United States, you're a sovereign nation. Let's stop the military aid giving you billions of dollars. Military aid, just buy everything. We can't do, you know, section 219. We can't merge the industrial bases, the defense industrial base. We can't merge the intelligence. That's just asking for problems, right? You guys are your own independent nation. And if you want to do that, and I recommend you do it, if you want to get Jack Keane and these guys on Fox and Mark Thiessen, give Mark Thiessen link, volunteer for the idf, put him in uniform, get some tanks, head right up to Beirut, head right up to Damascus and hell, take a tank column, put Jack Keane in it and go to, and go to Tehran. We don't give a damn. Go do what you got to do as a sovereign nation. But right now, right, with this new escalation that's coming up and kind of thinking it through, and President Trump trying to figure out, because we're about to get a wake up call on the financial side here. We can't afford, we, the United States of America, cannot afford $88 billion, $100 billion, $200 billion just to kind of create it at a Treasury and hope the Chinese buy the bonds at a certain rate so that we can pay for it, that cannot happen. That is what's putting us in jeopardy. And it's taking away focus on what President Trump was voted for overwhelmingly and would be voted for. Hell, we should be talking about picking up seats in the House, we should be talking about picking up two or three seats in the Senate. Yet we're talking about playing defense and maybe losing because the focus has shifted to a war that nobody knew we were getting into, nobody wanted. And that President Trump, with magnificent clarity, ended in 12 days back in June of last year. Eric Bolling, the floor is yours.
Eric Bolling
Even I love this. Stephen, who is, where, where have you been? Oh, my bad. And for 100 days, I said, let's get the hell out of the Middle East. Let them go kill each other. We don't give a damn about their, their freaking Strait of Hormuz. Let them go. And I was getting bombarded by the ban and war. I'm saying, oh, we got to take care of them. Don't you want. Aren't you afraid of missiles? I said, well, I'm really afraid of midterm elections because we got Democrat socialists around the country. We have Sharia creep. We have Islam invading our big cities. We have people in our largest city in the world. You said something very important, Steve, very important. You said Americans aren't engaged in, in whether or not the regime change in Iran. They're not, you know what they're engaged in, Steve? They're engaged in a $4 gallon gasoline because most people aren't. Steve Bannon or Eric Bolling, where we can go and fill up whatever car we're driving. Most people in America, in fact, two thirds of America can't afford a $600 tire change if they have a blowout. They're living paycheck to paycheck. So, yeah, that $4, that $100 fill up on their truck hurts them when they see it. And, and they care about a lower price. I don't think the administration is thinking about those folks, which is a vast majority of maga, base included. I see Kevin Hastert out there taking a freaking victory lap because inflation ticked down from 3.9% to 3.6. That is double where it should be. It's triple where it was. Trump 1.0. This is no victory. This is a short lived five minute respite on an inflation number that's gonna spike again as oil prices are spiking as we speak. We need to get the numbers down. We need to tell the folks in America, America is affordable. Trump policy is affordable American living. Not live paycheck to paycheck and not maybe not be able to take your wife out to fricking dinner maybe once a month because you can't afford it. I don't think the administration is listening to those people. And I love this Steve Bannon who just said, what the hell are we doing there? We're not going to get any regime change. We'll never have regime change if Iranians.
Steve Bannon
So let's, if you watch the show, if you watch, if you watch the show that's been our mantra. I've been economic warfare. The kinetic part of this is ridiculous. Also the phone calls that President Trump got yesterday, and this is what we have to be realistic about this. We have an Islamic invasion of this country. We have a red green alliance that runs New York City. They're all over Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis. They're the John C. Calhouns of the 21st century in that they've nullified all federal election, all federal law to be sanctuary cities. Yesterday they got Mark Wayne Mullen to blink. Mike Davis got so hot about that, he calls me up right away and says, hey, I got to come on here because of one incident, you're going to shut down all traffic, you know, all traffic stops on getting rid of the bad hombres. You can't do that. So those are the things President Trump want. But the calls he got yesterday from the Gulf, you know, the Gulf Arabs, Qatar and UAE and Saudi Arabia are no better. When I in singling out Israel, the Gulf guys are actually, I think even worse because they're the ones with Pakistan that are funding the Islamic invasion of the United States. That money's all coming from, they're all monies. That's why I have no problem taking 20% if you're going to keep the fleet there. Let's go non kinetic. No more bombing runs. We don't have to do that. But choke this regime down with economics, with sanctions. No oil to this Chinese Communist party, no cash to the moolahs, all of it. And again, hey, if it takes 20% and that's their profits, then big deal. Why do we care about a bunch of corrupt monarchies that have doubled deltas all the time and have us now doing their work for them. Let's get the young princelies MBS and his prince buddies. Let's get them over to take Carg island mbz, who's the best fighter pound for pound over there and actually has a pretty good little military. Let's get them to take the cliffs of, on the, on the Straits of Hormuz right there. Let's get Qatar and all the money they spread around, the billions of dollars they spread around to buy off people in the United States, right, let's get that and get it to American citizens right now to pay for the tens of billions of dollars that we've got, that we got to pay for somehow and they got to pay for it now. You can't kick the can down the road. They're going up with a $350 billion I don't know, second or third reconciliation. And a big portion of that is military and a big portion of that is, is missiles we fired, you know, harpoons, we got Tomahawks, the Patriots, all of it. We got to restock and reload. There's no question we need it, but we need it in South Korea and we need it in the, in the Taiwan Straits in defense of the chip factories on the island of Taiwan against, wait for it, the Chinese Communist Party bowling is going to stick around. For the first time Since World War II, our national debt held by the public has exceeded GDP. America, this is a wake up call. Our sins of the past reckless government spending have finally caught up to us. So what's next? Higher inflation, higher prices, higher cost of living expenses and higher interest payments on the national debt. Every dollar Washington spends on interest is a dollar it has to tax, borrow or print. Smart retirement planners prepare for potential setbacks and they can do that by diversifying with a time tested asset known for weathering the storm. That is physical gold. Now physical gold you can get from my trusted friends at Birchgold Group. Text the word Bannon B A N N O N to the number 989-898 and Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on converting an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA. In physical gold you don't pull the ripcord on your parachute once you've already hit the ground. Don't wait for economic turbulence to diversify. Text Bannon to the number 989-898. Again, text Bannon to 989-898, own some gold and own it from Birchgold. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. Once again those our sponsors want to thank our sponsors because we're dipping in and out of these hearings. We're gonna get to Jay Clayton in a minute for dni. Birch Gold. Like I said, Philip is going to be on the show on Saturday. We're going to depth and particularly the budget deficits. What the outlook of that for the dollar, particularly when you match it against physical assets like gold and oil and other physical assets.

We don't have copies yet, but all seven installments that are in the book are free online. We have an eighth installment and I'm about to approve a ninth. How about that? I want to make sure that you're up the learning curve. Jay Clayton So there's two hearings going at one time. It's Todd's getting lit up over at with judiciary in to become Attorney General. Jay Clayton, on the other hand, is over. And he's Southern District in New York, former managing partner of Sullan Cromwell. He's going for dni. And they're. They're trying to rush this through, bum rush it so they can get Pulte out of there because Pulte's doing amazing work. Let's see. And they said they're going to confirm Jay Clayton by Friday. That's how petrified they are of. Of. That's how petrified they are of Pulte and the work that he's done, the historic work he's doing. Let's go and see some of Jay Clayton's.
Senator
Let me go to the question of elections. You've claimed in the past that vote by mail is tainted. And I haven't seen any evidence of this. These are your exact quotations. You talk about, you know, dishonesty in mail, in voting. And at one point you talked specifically about a group that was doing it. I think it would be very helpful to get a sense of who you're talking about. One group is using mail in voting dishonestly. So you basically said you got a group out there who are election bandits. Who are we talking about now?
Jay Clayton
I would like to see where you're pulling those quotes from because I've been very careful in my words on this. I've been very careful. Look, we. Election integrity. I'd like to see the whole passage.
Senator
Send you the material.
Jay Clayton
Yeah, no, and I'm happy to answer. But let me tell you, please, we should be. There are two parts to this. One is access, which is extremely important. Access to the ballot is something that I know this body. Many people have worked hard for years and years. The other one is integrity. I'm a big believer that we can have better access than we've ever had before and better integrity than we've ever had before. And some of the constructs around our election, the integrity can be greatly improved.
Senator
Well, I want to see it because I want to know the names of the people that you're calling dishonest. Because I'm the nation's first senator elected by mail. The second senator was a Republican. And we don't believe that this is tainted by fraud.
As I said repeatedly, if you're confirmed, you're going to make sure that you speak truth to power. And that means even if the truth is not the preferred narrative that somebody wants to hear. So let me just ask you. It should be a simple question. Do you deny that Joe Biden won the 2020 election?
Jay Clayton
Senator, I'm not an election denier. Joe Biden was certified as the President of the United States.
Senator
Election denial is something we cannot have. So I will take that as. You do not deny that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
Jay Clayton
Yeah, I'm not. I think. Let me just be clear. We have substantial work to do and I've made in improving our electoral processes. It's part of national security, and I feel strongly about that.
Senator
Why did you take it upon yourself to opine on the California election process? To cnbc? You said, you said during, you said during the interview on CNBC, you said the U.S. is doing an absolutely terrible job on election integrity and the American people are right to question it. What's the, the basis of that statement? What's the evidence for that statement?
Jay Clayton
Let me give you the context of the way I look at this because we should have this kind of candid dialogue. Elections are a process for gathering, aggregating and providing data.
Senator
And who does the Constitution entrust the responsibility for elections?
Jay Clayton
To the states in the case we're talking about.
Senator
Correct.
Jay Clayton
To the states in the case we're talking about. But my experience. Experience. My experience at the sec, my experience at the doj, my experience in the private sector is that the government processes for, for gathering, aggregating and providing data need to be improved greatly.
Senator
Are you talking about elections?
Jay Clayton
I'm talking about.
Senator
All. I'm talking about talking about inflation data.
Jay Clayton
No, I'm talking about all government processes, including one is.
Senator
I want some evidence. And there isn't time here in a minute and 49 seconds. But you have a lot of time between. Between now and when we move on your nomination. I would like a written analysis from you that gives evidence of voter fraud. Fraud, Mr. Clayton, to be clear, Senator, assertion that there's voter fraud.
Jay Clayton
I am not. I did not. I did not make that assertion. I said the op.
Senator
I. No, I said doing an absolutely terrible job on election integrity. What did that mean?
Jay Clayton
That meant that the audit trail that we have available for our election in a number of places is not the kind of audit trail that you would expect in something that is this important. That's what it meant.
Steve Bannon
And I, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's mumbo jumbo. I think that disqualifies him right there. So we don't want the War on Posse calling and for the confirmation of Jay Clayton I. This is what I warned about. That's mumbo jumbo. But technically he was certified on states that didn't want to certify him. Joe Biden did not. Why don't you say it out loud? Joe Biden did not win the 2020 election and Joe Biden was illegitimate. And you're going to find out. And this guy's supposed to be in charge of what Pulte's doing, which is exposing the suppression of information of this by the intelligence services. This guy's going to be dni. Would this guy be down in Georgia like Tulsi Gabber was? I don't Homie. Don't think so. So like I said, this is. You're getting. Getting full Sullivan and Cromwell right here. That right there is not acceptable to maga. That's just mumbo jumbo. That's just tap dancing. Let's have a. We.
Mike Lindell
We.
Steve Bannon
We are in a crisis. Well, how can you say that, Steve? What's the crisis? Oh, I don't know. We're in a Middle east war that we were driven into by America's greatest ally and now we're defending a people who are paying for an Islamic invasion of the United States. We're defending them and their resources and we're paying for it at the same time that they're funneling money in here for a takeover of the country. And we've lost control of all the major metropolitan areas of the United States. These magnificent cities. New York City, Chicago, Minneapolis, you know, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles. I just throw out a random few and we're about to lose Washington D.C. with all the great efforts President Trump has had in Washington D.C. to sort this mess out. You've got even the most radical of them are is going to be. Is going to win in the Democratic city where they don't even count the Republican votes. I can tell you as a citizen there, they don't even count the Republican votes. Take it from the Republican district and throw. Take the mail on the mailman. Just throw them away. Those were squish answers. He should have been prepared. Did somebody prep him? Is that what he really thinks? Is that what he really thinks in his heart? When then those answers are not acceptable. That's mumbo jumbo. Eric.
Eric Bolling
The.
Steve Bannon
Can you talk to me about the inflation number, sir?
Eric Bolling
So it's better like I said, we had oil come down from $105 down to 68. Gasoline by the way, didn't hardly budge. It went from 390 to 380. Now it's back up to 389. It's going to be $4 by the end of the month. Temporary, short lived. Hastert went on CNBC all over the place a couple of days in a row Talking about yesterday's CPI was cooler than expected, but still 3.6%. We the Fed is charged with a 2%. They have their own self directed 2% inflation target so they like to be at or below 2%. Trump had it down to 1.4 at the end of his first term. Biden brought it up to 9 and somehow 3, 3.9 to 3.6 under Trump is a win. And by the way, that's going to go back up because oil is now skyrocketing yet again. Gas prices didn't come down. They're just going to launch from a higher launching pad. So look, I love what Trump I have to qualify this because the war on policy gets so mad at me. But I'm just calling it the way I see it, Steve. It's not a Wall street guy, it's not Goldman Sachs guy, it's not my own trading book. I'm a guy who's done this for 25, almost 30 years. And watch this. I'm telling you the danger I've never seen in 30 years covering politics. I've never seen this country so willing, opening their arms, almost embracing socialism because they call it democratic socialism. Why? Because we're foolish enough to elect these socialists or communists. It's the same system. Communism, socialism are the same system. The masses provide the work so that the bureaucrats can decide who gets what and they get everything and people starve to death. We're welcome. We're bringing the wolf into the henhouse, a fox into the henhouse. And say have your way with us opening the door to this across the country. Bernie Sanders, Pocahontas Mamdani, the Republican running for one of the Senate seats, says, you know, we really need to think about the Somalians. Somalians are real important to us. And then you have, then you have Mark Wayne Mullen deciding he's not going to follow license plates now because somehow illegals might be upset that they're being tracked illegally. We're opening the door to socialism, we're opening the door to Islam. The country's changing rapidly and so the only defense we have against that is to hold the House, hold the Senate and hold the White House. And Steve, we ain't doing it at 4, 4, 50 or $5 a gallon. Sorry, but the class that votes you mentioned Tomi Lahren Tom points out. What the hell are we doing here if we're, we're electing people that aren't doing what they promised when America still can't afford to put food on the table, gas in the tank.
Steve Bannon
When you lose, we'll put that up. I get up on get her when you lose. Fox News is Tommy lan and she was right to the point. What have we done? Anyway, Eric, I'll see you at 4 o'.
Jay Clayton
Clock.
Steve Bannon
Hopefully I'll have the show organized enough to do a, a changeover, a handoff. We may not, I think we may be in Carlisle Barracks. We'll figure it all out this afternoon. Bowling. Thank you for coming and, and sitting through my rants. Okay. Short commercial break. Mike Lindell got a big endorsement that he's worked a long time for. Hopefully got him next. Everyone's focused on how the conflict in the Middle east is raising oil prices. But there's another grim reality to this contention. Oil isn't the only resource being constrained. About one third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region. And with spring planting season on top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they can't afford to plant their fields. When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know what comes next? Higher fruit prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying. That's why having an emergency food supply at home makes so much sense. And that's where our friends at my Patriot Supply come in. Right now@preparedwithbannon.com that is preparewithbannon.com we've set up an entire just site for the war room posse. You go to preparewithbannon.com that's all one word. Preparewithbannon.com you get a three month emergency food supply. Don't include a free mega protein Upgrade, an incredible $200 bonus you don't want to miss. It's a simple way to protect your family from whatever comes next. Go to preparewithbannon.com that is preparewithbannon.com to get your emergency food supply today. That's preparewithband.com do it today. Go check it out. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. You know, talk about affordability. One second. Since the subsidies have gone or a lot of them have gone from Obamacare, that fiasco, people now have to make a decision. Do I put food on the table? Do I pay the mortgage or the rent or do I pay for my health insurance? There's an alternative and we've worked with this company to make sure you can get all the due diligence you need to understand the alternative. America's Health Share Here's a do freedom for health.org Bannon freedomforhealth.org Bannon it's time now for you to do your due diligence. Go there. If you sign up, you get a month free. But that's not the kicker. The kicker is you to understand this is a totally different way to look at. And people have bound together, started with really Christians and I think the Amish and others that bound together to try to figure out an alternative. And the pricing is pretty dramatic. But you have to understand what you're getting into. And so the due diligence is pretty straightforward. The company's there to answer any question you've got. Freedomforhealth.org Bannon go check it out today. America's Health Share Check it out. Alternative and we live in times that you might since the institutions are all collapsing around you. We said that for years. Why is that? Because they're corrupt and led by people that are believe in the managed decline of the United States of America. That's our elites, where they're grabbing more money on the way down. That's your elites. While the institutions in the country fail to perform for the sovereignty of the America of the our Republic and the American people. Mike Lindell is so ironic in the middle of this. We're going to have this discussion tomorrow night. If it gets pulled off, don't think it's 100 going to get pulled off already. Paul Sperry over at the Post is reporting that the major networks are not going to cover it. They're saying we're not going to do this because people briefed MSNBC and they're out there saying now, oh, it's all lies, it's misrepresentation. It's more Trump and and the wing nuts he's got around him like Mike Lindell and Steve Bannon, the War Room and others. Lindell the irony at the very time when they're all trying to say this is all nonsense and all these groups that try to bankrupt you and try to put you in prison, they're like jackals around President Trump. And so we should never cooperate. Note to the White House, take your number two principle and write this down. You do not brief msnbc. They're not worthy of it. They have not rated that. You do not brief them. You do not give them information. You do not talk to them. They are out. The reason that President Trump has had assassination attempts is because people at MSNBC stir these young people up with all this hate. It's pure.
Jay Clayton
Just watch it.
Steve Bannon
Do you not watch over the world? It's pure bile and hatred 24 hours a day. Why do we do a cold open? And why is 90% of the cold open come from MSNBC and not from CNN or others? We do that because the hatred in the bile comes through and the war on posse can sit there and go, okay, I understand this is an information war and I understand where they're coming from. Now you're also so worked up by the end of that a block that you're ready to go to work to save this country and have the president's back. So, no, they're unworthy of it. They shouldn't even be in the White House. I don't know why you even don't know the pressure. If they have a space there, turf them out today. Hell, they only try to imprison. And they're the leaders. Weisman and this entire crowd. Are you kidding me? They're worse than the New York Times. Get them out of the White House. They're in the press room. Go down, give them the hook. You're out of here, buddy. If you want to see it, go watch it on C Span. Mike Lindell, with all that going on, you got a pretty big endorsement today, sir. Talk to us about it.
Mike Lindell
Yeah, got up this morning, everybody, and our great president gave me his endorsement for my governor run here in Minnesota, which was absolutely unexpected and amazing. I mean, you guys got to check it out. You can go to Lindell gov.com or any of the social media sites where he put up this. Where we put it up there. And it comes coming out the day before this big announcement. Steve, it's kind of ironic just what you're saying. The media has been calling me all morning. CNN is actually going to come to Minnesota to our. Oh, Dony. He's going to come to Minnesota for one of our big events next week, a town hall we're having. But every one of them, I bring up the fact tomorrow night that I said all this evidence that everything's going to be declassified tomorrow night at 8 o'. Clock. And they're not even talking about that. You're right. They're going to try and suppress it and. Or at least hopefully they at least watch it and attack it. I'll be very surprised if Fox News and Newsmax has it on. That would be up to me. That'll be a shocker, but we'll see what happens. But this is where we're at, everybody, our voice is so much bigger now than it was five years ago. This is where we have the big advantage. And this biblical thing we're in of evil versus good. We have such a huge voice now with all the podcast, social media platforms and other networks so people don't have to watch MSNBC and, and Fox and Newsmax and stuff. They can. They're going to get the information one way or another. And my endorsement, Steve, this morning, when he endorsed me, I. It's like everybody immediately knew it once all across the country. I mean, my phone's filled up. Finally all, even the Minnesota media has reached out. Now I've got to bad mouth them and say, you guys are the worst in the nation. And now you finally call me because, oh, he found out that I, that I'm going to win. Now the primary now I've moved up. I think it's 30 points over their, their darling that they had picked, the establishment had picked, which was Lisa Damon. So, you know, now I can concentrate on finishing our yard signs. We're up to 4,000. We're putting about 2,000 out a day. We're going to the next level of getting, getting money because now we're, you know, we got to put these, all the resources in the beating. Which the president called one of the worst senators and politicians this country's ever seen. Amy Klobuchar.
Steve Bannon
Did Joe Biden win the 2020 election? Mike Lindell?
Mike Lindell
Not even close. Steve. He lost by about 6 million votes, maybe even more.
Senator
Did he?
Steve Bannon
Upon being an illegitimate regime and having an inauguration that had like 50 people show up, you remember, that's what kind of crowd you drew. Did he not, sir? Over the next couple of years, work with NGOs, work with many of the leftists that you see in Minneapolis to basically have a systematic invasion of this country by at least 20 million illegal aliens.
Senator
Sir.
Mike Lindell
100% everybody. And Steve, you know, here's how I tell people about that too. What a blessing the 2020 election was. Everyone. That's probably one of the biggest blessings our country will ever get in history. Because you know what? If have put President Trump in right away, we'd have lost our country forever. They needed to steal that election and hit the evil, hit the ground running to destroy our country. From Muslims practicing Islams, illegals coming in, all this invasion. And it opens people's eyes. Not just when 80% of the public wants the Save America act passed of all Democrats and Republicans of the people. It woke up the people. And this is Huge. Like in Minnesota here, the fraud has waken and waking everybody up in Minnesota. And so this is. I view it as a big blessing, but you're spot on. This is what we fought for five years, everybody. But we didn't fight in vain. Here we are, we're starting to see the fruits of our fight. You know, the war room posse has stood behind me and my. My pillow. They. They brought it up yesterday in the media this morning. Now all of a sudden they're kind of silent on it. They're attacking my pillow. Right up until yesterday. We're talking about Arctic Frost, my p. The most attacked company in the history of the United States. Not by voting machine companies. That was even separate. That was a separate attack. Our own government under Biden Starting in 2022. Operation Arctic Frost. This is the IRS, the DOJ, the FBI. They didn't just take Mike Lindell's phone that runs all the businesses. They literally attacked my pillow, cutting off our vendors, our banks. This is our own government going to our banks to debate. Get us debate. Merchant server. All these things, Steve, were done for one reason and that was to silence. Silence us. Silence us. Just because we are. You know, we have big platforms here, everybody but they. All these attacks have been. Been their agenda as you. And part of that agenda is to destroy us. To silence us.
Steve Bannon
I didn't know Mike Lindell. Had never met him. Didn't know much about him except saw the ads for the pillows all the time until 2021. In fact, when Mike came to me and said he was going to run for governor, I said, brother, we got so much else going on and I try to talk him out of it. But I've come full circle. And here's where I've come full circle. I did not realize, not just the summer of love that started me, I did not realize how far gone. The state of Min. Minnesota is a great state with great people and some of the most beautiful in a. In a country known for its beautiful land. Beautiful land. But brother, it is so far gone. It may be. It may be as far gone or farther in many aspects than California. It takes someone like you to turn around. Give me a minute or two about your beloved Minnesota. You're a native of what's happened to this great state.
Mike Lindell
Well, it's so bad. Everybody that woke evil target is moving out of Minneapolis. They're moving their corporate building and forfeit $110 million on their lease. There's buildings in Minneapolis that were worth $60 million selling for 6 million. It's just destroying our cities, our state. I just checked yesterday I was meeting with our fishing industry and we're known as of 10,000 Lakes, our great tourism, where our lakes have been destroyed in a lot of ways and they need to be fixed, they need to be restocking all these things that I would take me two hours to tell you just about that segment. Our farmers, our education. In Minnesota, we were like top five in the nation. We spent 30% more money or 29% more money and we went down to the bottom third. These are things that are happening as we've been invaded here in Minnesota by illegals, also by, you know, you hear about the fraud with the Somalians and Sharia law. It needs to be banned. What's happened here? Steve and I watched it. I born and raised here in Minnesota and it's, it's. Everything is beautiful. I wouldn't live anywhere else. But I'll tell you what, to turn it into the highest tax, I believe we're the highest taxed state in the country. I would put when you add in your property tax, your sales tax, your income tax, your corporate tax, we're in the top two or three of every single category. And we. Minnesota, you can't afford to be. Your companies are going to move out. I've been told all over Minnesota, Mike, if you don't win, we're leaving. And Minnesota, over the last three and a half years, we're upside down. I think it's upwards of 50,000 people that have moved out, less or less a net of what's into Minnesota.
Steve Bannon
So here's my. You have one of the most. You have one of the most beautiful states. You have incredibly nice people. And you're losing people. You're losing people because it's a Marxist jihadist regime that controls Minneapolis and is the one of the most radical in the country. But at the state level, Waltz. And these guys are also extremists, sir.
Mike Lindell
Yeah, absolutely. Communists. And they're, you know, let me tell you this, you guys might not know this, but this is a governor that put a satanic statue, accepted it from the Satanists and put it in our capitol and got an award for it. You know what he told us in Minnesota? He says, well, we gotta be fair. Fair to the devil. I mean, I did a speech one time, everybody at the Rose Garden and I said, nation had turned its back on God. We had taken God out of our schools. We need to get back and pray for God's grace and get back with our families, get back in the Word. And I could have just been talking about Minnesota. We're the tip of the spear on this stuff. You have evil people and these aren't just bad politicians. You got Keith Ellison, our attorney general waltz the governor. You got Elon Omar here. What's taken over. It's a takeover. It's a complete takeover. And we in Minnesota media. This is the Minnesota media, starting with the starting Tribune in Minneapolis. Shame on them. They're like hiding this from us, trying to hide it from us. But you can't hide it anymore. All this evil stuff, you can't. You know, you talked about MSNBC brainwashing people. This is what media's been doing for a long time. It's disgusting. But we have broke through and we're, and we're gonna, we're gonna take advantage of us and go through the door that no man can shut.
Steve Bannon
Hang on one second. We're gonna continue on with you. Listen up, patriots. President Trump is dropping a $100 trillion bomb on the globalist. Jerome Powell's term has come to a close and he's installing a real America First Fed chair who will, according to Jim Rickards, slash rates and supercharge our reindustrialization. This is what one man is calling Trump's gift on America's 250th anniversary. Unleashing a historic super cycle in American mining, rare earths, uranium. And the same forces that turned $5,000 into over a million in less than five years during China's booms are hitting here now. Jim Rickards, the former CIA, Pentagon and White House advisor, has the battle plan. The gold royalty stock that could skyrocket in the next few years and the uranium power for AI. Don't miss this.

Do it and do it today. Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. So we have two confirmation hearings going on. Todd Blanch is taking incoming and, and fighting back. We'll have more of that and we'll summarize that tonight and have guests back on to look at that. And we'll have Article 3 and also Grace, we'll have Bill Blaster up, make sure we're pushing confirmation here. We need him in duly confirmed asap. Remember none of the guys in the Senate were saying they, they need to do that asap. It was Clay. It's obvious why they got Clayton up there, there and why they're trying to force it through. He's not going to rock the boat of the Deep State at all. We need the deep State confronted and you particularly going to need him confronted after tomorrow night. Who runs this country? The elected officials. And even in that regard, you know, if Bernie Sanders, aoc, God forbid, ever get elected, God forbid, it probably have to be work of the Deep State. But. But who's going to run the country? Is it Donald John Trump as commander in chief and chief executive in the chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer? Is it the followers, the heirs to the MAGA movement, whoever that might be? Are you the citizen sovereign or. We have a permanent government made up of these intelligence agencies, law enforcement and the military industrial complex, you know, now infested with the tech Bros, the Brogarcs and the lords of easy money on Wall Street. Is that who really runs the country? Well, if that's the case, then let's have it out now. No need to kind of, oh my gosh, they run the country. Let's just throw down now. You're not going to throw down with a guy like Jay Clayton. Those answers you just gave right there are just gobbledygook. Or as my beloved mother would say when I was trying to spin her on something I'd done, that's just mumbo jumbo. That's just mumbo jumbo or word salad. You pick it. Any phrase you want. We need somebody can cut to the heart of it and can take action. Not a careerist. Jay Clayton's just a careerist. This is Sullivan and Cromwell going to sit there and play patty cake with Tom Cotton? All the people that want him in, and they're all glazing him and they're all going to say, yeah, we're going to, you know, they, they're so interested in the defense of the country and the national security of the country, right. That they're going to gun deck and just whip somebody through there that. Where's the, where's the, the form that we all have to do of every foreign contact you've had in the last 10 years? That's a requirement. What about the time as general counsel, Alibaba, and getting that through the, the to take it public in the United States, which is a travesty because we're just funding the Chinese Communist Party military side? What about that? Think that might have A question or two. They're hammering Todd Blanche over there for minutia. For minutiae. Because they're trying to build a record. And yet you got somebody that's going to be dni that particularly on the eve of revelations, they're going to show that maybe the. Maybe the intelligence apparatus has not exactly been forthcoming. That took a couple outsiders like Pulte and John Solomon to go in there in the last four weeks. And they should get the Presidential Medal of Freedom for what they've done. And they should all get food tasters. I can tell you those guys are not suicidal. I wouldn't put anything past the intelligence apparatus of this country. Mike, we gotta bounce. I gotta hear about the great things. But as we're speaking. As we're speaking, the Daily Mail puts up. And that's the biggest website in the world. Puts up as their lead story Waltz. The governor of Minnesota is protecting some pedophile and dump it on the White House for wanting to deport him. Dude, what in the hell is going on in Minnesota? Sir, look at this right here. This is why we're talking. I didn't tell the Daily Mail, you got to put up a prop for us on. This is as we're talking it, pops.
Mike Lindell
Sir, you see the headlines there? Sympathy for the devil. I mean, this is what, he puts a satanic statue in the Capitol. But let me tell you about the illegals here in Minnesota we are housing. It took $85,000 per illegal in Minnesota to put them in our prisons. These are your rapists, your pedophiles, your murderers. We pay $110 million a year to keep them in our jails rather than prisons, rather than deporting them all back to the countries they're from. And everyone says, well, Mike, they'd be set free then. No, we already have agreements with those countries. Hey, you take these people back and put them in your own prisons so we don't have to pay for them here. Walt is out of his mind. But once again, everybody, this is. You got to look at all these crazy things as blessings because it's opening people's eyes. Even people on the middle left are going, this doesn't even make sense. So common sense is where we're winning, everybody. Common sense. And so I look at that as all these things that, you know, who would have thought 15, 20 years ago? We're going. We're arguing about women, men and women, sports and transvestites and trans. And. And Satan.
Steve Bannon

Host: Steve Bannon
Main Guests: Eric Bolling, Mike Lindell
In this episode, Steve Bannon leads a charged discussion on America’s waning appetite for further military engagement in the Middle East, specifically regarding Iran. The conversation, heavily focused on economic consequences, inflation, and political priorities, features economic commentary by Eric Bolling and a campaign update from Mike Lindell. The episode sharply critiques the Biden administration, U.S. alliances in the Middle East, and the current direction of national policy, arguing that domestic economic pressures far outweigh foreign entanglements on voters’ minds.
“For 100 days, I said, let’s get the hell out of the Middle East. Let them go kill each other. We don’t give a damn about their, their freaking Strait of Hormuz. Let them go.” — Eric Bolling [09:57]
