I. U.S. Military Losses in Jordan and Escalation with Iran

Time: 00:00–02:05

• Pentagon Announcement:

  • Two American soldiers, First Lieutenant Tyler James Feehan (25, Hawaii) and Private Isabel Gonzalez (19, Texas), killed in Jordan.
  • President Trump addresses the nation, emphasizing Iran’s destabilizing role and reaffirming, “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.” (Bannon/Trump paraphrase, 00:19)

• Strategic Dilemma:

  • Admiral Kirby explains the U.S. is at an “inflection point,” accelerating strikes against Iran’s military and infrastructure, hoping to force negotiations, but doubts if Iran’s IRGC will yield. (Admiral Kirby, 01:00)

• No Easy Answers:

  • David Ignatius frames the situation as a difficult, complex conflict, arguing Iran cannot be easily coerced or bought off, and negotiating with Tehran is fraught. (Ignatius, 00:37)

Memorable Quote:

“You can’t really talk about their sacrifice without talking about where we are in this conflict... [We are] at an inflection point.”
– Admiral Kirby, 01:00

II. China and Election Interference: The Intelligence Document Dump

Time: 02:05–05:35, 16:19–24:55

• President Trump’s Speech:

  • Bannon describes Trump’s address as “historic,” declassifying intelligence documents live; claims Chinese state actors targeted the 2020 election and successfully interfered.
  • Trump urges citizens to check documents for themselves at whitehouse.gov, declaring a “historic attack” on the deep state. (Bannon, 16:19)

• Media & Intelligence Analysis:

  • David Ignatius counters Trump’s claims, stating the consensus of the intelligence community was that China considered, but did not act to defeat Trump in 2020.
  • Documents included dissenting analysts, but “the consensus judgment… was precisely the opposite.” (Ignatius, 03:16, restated 16:19)

Quote:

“If this is a deep state, man, it moves at the speed of a snail… It couldn’t have been more different [than what] the President was arguing.”
– David Ignatius, 03:16

• John Solomon’s Rebuttal:

  • Solomon, direct from the East Room, claims the President was “calm, not shouting,” and that the released documents, when read completely (including less-redacted attachments), confirm Chinese state actors illicitly acquired non-commercial voter registration data.
  • Cites the October 16, 2020, NIC report:

    “Election interference is a subset of election influence targeted at the technical aspects of the election, including voter registration, casting and counting of ballots, and reporting of results.”
    (John Solomon, 18:58)

• Suppressed Intelligence:

  • Solomon accuses the intelligence community (CIA/NSA/FBI) of omitting key findings, and insists Trump has “proved election interference by this definition on Thursday.”
  • Discusses China’s unique hack: unlike commercially bought data, Chinese actors obtained data not for sale—birthdate, SSN, driver’s license—making a difference for legal definitions.
  • Suggests a suspect (CNE) may be indicted, paralleling prior indictments of Chinese hackers for similar action in the UK.
    (John Solomon, 22:20–24:55)

Quote:

“What the President said is, hey, in 2020, they kept this out of the 2020 assessments, but had they put it in, this would amount to election interference... President Trump for the first time proved that China interfered in the 2020 election.”
– John Solomon, 18:58

---

III. Washington’s Response, Political Division, & MAGA’s Future

Time: 08:26–12:55, 29:53–38:59

• GOP Internal Struggles:

  • Bannon points to lackluster GOP responses to Trump’s speech, especially from candidates like Watley in North Carolina, who did not reference the China revelations.
  • GOP donor class prefers discussing “affordability and economics," ignoring election integrity and base enthusiasm issues.

• Political Commentary:

  • Guest commentator draws sharp parallels, calling MAGA “the closest thing to the modern version of the Nazi Party” absent the Holocaust, emphasizing the movement’s emotional, identity-driven roots over factual discourse.
    (Political Commentator, 10:41)

---

IV. Task Force, Whistleblowers, and Ongoing Investigation

Time: 24:10–27:49

• Solomon Task Force Update:

  • New whistleblowers have come forward following Trump’s declassification.
  • Additional evidence is being processed for declassification.
  • Solomon urges citizens to flood Senate phone lines, pushing for action on election reforms like the SAVE Act.

• Accountability Measures Suggested:

  • Patch computer systems, improve ID measures, and demand prosecution of Chinese hackers—paralleling Biden’s policies regarding hacks in the UK.

Quote:

“If Americans want to prove all the fake news media wrong… they could just simply call the Senate and bring the Senate’s phones to a halt.”
– John Solomon, 24:55

---

V. Media’s Role & FTC Angle

Time: 26:46–38:59

• Comparing Coverage:
  • Solomon accuses mainstream media (“Langley Bugle”—Washington Post—& others) of hypocrisy: calling for possible FTC action against media outlets for “fraud upon the American people” via deliberate misinformation about election threats.

Quote:

“They are committing fraud upon the American people. Maybe we've been looking at the wrong agencies... I wonder if there isn't a fraud standard to be pursued at the Federal Trade Commission. Those reporters are lying to the public using a public license.”
– John Solomon, 26:46

---

VI. Deep Dive: Geopolitics of the U.S.-Iran Conflict

Time: 38:59–51:09

• Jim Rickards’ Analysis:
  • Rickards calls Trump’s speech a historic moment, commends Solomon’s reporting, and highlights the importance of the FTC for countering media malfeasance.
  • Explains the origins and limitations of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) role, viewing it as bureaucratic and ineffective at times.
  • On the Iran conflict:
    • The U.S. faces a forever war, with Iran’s IRGC (now younger, more hardline) maintaining control regardless of the presence of “moderates.”
    • The military strategy (bombing infrastructure, railways) is non-sustainable; suggests the only real off-ramp is seizing Iran’s highly enriched uranium stocks (“Operation Aztec”).

Memorable Quote:

“Escalation has a short-term, feel-good aspect, but it won’t work… If you rip the [HEU] out, then who cares what Iran does next?”
– Jim Rickards, 46:01

• Bannon’s Critique of U.S. Presence Abroad:
  • Questions wisdom of U.S. bases in Jordan and Iraq; notes evolving political stance against the U.S. as “policeman of the world.”
  • Quotes Senator Rubio shifting rhetorical ground: “We’re not the policeman of the world.” (45:06)

---

VII. Next Steps & Calls to Action

Time: 51:09–52:00

• Advocacy for Transparency & Reform:
  • Bannon and guests urge the White House to leverage the public’s attention and move on concrete election security reforms.
  • Calls for keeping aggressive reform leaders like Bill Pulte (acting DNI) in place through midterms; expresses concern the establishment prefers status quo.

  (29:53)

---

Overall Tone and Rhetoric

• Urgent, confrontational, and combative:

  • Frequent references to a “deep state,” framed as an adversarial, slow-moving bureaucracy.
  • Portrayal of mainstream media as intentionally misleading (“Langley Bugle”), urging legal/FTC review.
  • Triumphalism around Trump’s move to declassify documents; language of “historic,” “unprecedented.”
  • Deep skepticism of establishment GOP, urging grassroots action.

• Alarmist and prescriptive:

  • Emphatic calls to action for reform, vigilance, and citizen engagement.
  • Dire predictions about a “forever war” with Iran and foreign election interference unless dramatic steps are taken.

Summary for Non-Listeners

This episode draws battle lines around two themes: the significance of President Trump’s declassification of intelligence documents purporting to show Chinese interference in the 2020 election, and the growing risks in the U.S.-Iran conflict. The show claims mainstream press is lying by omission or commission, while Trump’s team is uniquely transparent. Guests John Solomon and Jim Rickards break down technical definitions of election interference, criticize the intelligence community for “hiding the ball,” and urge rapid, aggressive reforms. The atmosphere is one of urgency and action, with regular criticism of both deep state actors and establishment politicians unwilling to “fight for the base.” The underlying argument is that U.S. sovereignty and democracy are under threat—externally via foreign actors like China and Iran, and internally via bureaucratic inertia and media dishonesty.

Transcript

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Just in moments ago, the Pentagon identified those two soldiers who were killed in Jordan. First Lieutenant Tyler James Feehan, a 25

year old from Hawaii and Private Isabel

Gonzalez, a 19 year old from Texas.

[David Ignatius]

President Trump spoke about the losses.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Well, we feel very badly, but you know those great people, those great patriots were out there fighting that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Iran has been very, very badly dam

lost everything almost militarily where we are

[David Ignatius]

in Iran because there are no glib, easy answers. We can't cut and run. The MOU that, that, that gave Iran half a trillion dollars is a non starter because they proved they couldn't even be bribed. But it's, it's going to be very hard to fight out of this corner. Where are we? What do we do next?

[Admiral Kirby]

You can't really talk about their sacrifice without, about where we are in this conflict. And I think we're at an inflection point here. You can see that the Trump administration is accelerating and expanding their strikes now, hitting military infrastructure, railways, bridges, that kind of thing, trying to really put economic pressure on the IRGC and the military there in Iran. The question is, is that going to be enough to force the Iranians to the table? And you have to remember that the folks that Mr. Witkoff and Mr. Kushner are talking to are not the folks in charge of the drones and the missile. The IRGC still runs all the military there in Iran. So it's going to be, it's an open question whether this additional pressure is going to force them to the table. And if it doesn't, I can assure you that the US Military is preparing for even more expanded attacks and a return to what they would consider major combat operations. I don't think the President wants to go there. I certainly don't think those who may be considered moderates in Iran want to go there. But I don't believe that the IRGC is particularly concerned about that at this point.

[David Ignatius]

That in tire charade was when he released the documents, it said two things. Number one, the Russians were trying to influence the campaign to help Donald Trump become elected President of the United States. And number two, that when enemies of America want to disrupt democracy, what they do is they start spreading doubt about the fairness of elections. Again, Donald Trump calling himself out, I'm not saying he's an enemy of democracy. I'm just a humble, you know, as you know, state school, dumb country lawyer. I'm saying in these documents contain intel assessments that if foreign powers want to undermine the United States confidence in democracy, then what they will do first is they will try to undermine their confidence in fair and free elections, which is, of course, against all evidence, what Donald Trump has been doing since 2020.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

So, Joe, this was an amazing spectacle, really, for people who didn't watch Thursday night. The President was really, you know, almost shouting. He was, he was making the wildest charges about election fraud and deep state conspiracies. It's the kind of thing that you see online in, you know, very intense blogs and sites, but don't hear that directly very often from the President. But he said, you know, if you want to check this out, go to whitehouse.gov and look at the intelligence documents that I've just declassified. So over the weekend, I took him at his work and I thought, okay, I'm not doing anything else Saturday other than watching England massacre France. But I did read these documents, and it's extraordinary, Joe, that if you look over them carefully, they rebut almost everything that the President said. A key part of his case was the Chinese tried to defeat me, intentionally went out to defeat me in the 2020 election, which obviously he still can't it over. He can't believe that he lost. So it must have been the Chinese. And you look at the intelligence assessments that were produced, which he's, thank you very much, supplied, and you see that the consensus judgment of the intelligence community was precisely the opposite, that the Chinese did not decide to intervene to defeat Trump. They thought about it, but they decided against it. There were a few analysts who disagreed and thought the Chinese had done more, although not everything they could have. They were given separate space to make the argument. It was kind of a classic snapshot of how our intelligence community actually works. If this is a deep state, man, it moves at the speed of a snail. They go week after week, debating sentence by sentence. So it couldn't have been more different from what the President was arguing. And I think it was wonderful in a weird way that he invited us all to look at the actual material when he makes charges so often we scrambled to fact check them. In this case, the President provided the fact checking glossary right there. Whitehouse.gov thank you very much.

[News Correspondent]

It's been one of the deadliest stretch of days since this war began almost four months ago, really ratcheting up the cost for Americans, but also deepening the quandary for President Trump. And the death toll does appear likely to rise. CENTCOM saying that it's still working to identify remains that were found at the site of that attack on Jordan. They say that two Service members had been killed when they came under attack from Iranian missiles and drones. We also understand that there was an additional death in northern Iraq over the weekend when a service member was working at a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance. Both of these incidents, I think underscoring that Iran really does retain missile and drone capabilities. That perhaps President Trump may have been underplaying over the last several months, but also seems to have the ability to evade US Air defense systems really comes amid escalating exchanges between the two countries. Both sides going after increasingly sensitive targets, including civilian infrastructure. Last night, centcom saying that it carried out the ninth straight consecutive night of attacks on Iran. And I also understand from U.S. officials that additional American firepower is heading to the region, including F16 jets, F35 jets, as well as additional aerial refueling tankers, all now heading to the Middle East. It's all, I think, led to some anxieties, as you see these increased attacks by the US on southern Iran, that perhaps President Trump could be preparing for some sort of ground invasion. And certainly the president is at something of a strategic crossroads here as he determines which way to go amid this escalating conflict with Iran. Of course, these deaths, I think, just reiterate that the US doesn't actually need ground troops in Iran in order for positions in the region to be at heightened risks. Those troops that are arrayed across the Middle east now coming under fire from Tehran. At the same time, you hear both sides not ruling out the prospect of diplomacy. You had Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, say this morning that the door remains open with Iran for negotiations. He said Iran had communicated, quote, directly and through multiple channels that they were open to negotiations. You also heard the foreign minister from Iran, Abbas Aragachi, say that negotiations could begin, quote, when you have achieved reliable battlefield and strategic gains, suggesting that there could be efforts, even though they're sort of difficult to detect at the moment, that both sides are trying to find a way to draw down before this conflict escalates into something that neither side

[Stephen K. Bannon]

is able to contain, giving him the opportunity to resolve this? They're not opening the strait. He faces bad choices. You sat with chairman with presidents in the Situation Room. What kind of advice would you offer to a president who clearly feels he's just stuck in a terrible dilemma?

[Admiral Kirby]

The problem is largely in Tehran. The IRGC and the moderates, if you want to call them, are not communicating and not on the same page. And as you well know, David, the IRGC doesn't have perfect command and control over all their leaders in the field. And so the difficulty for President Trump is he's trying to manipulate this escalation in a way that, again, encourages the Iranians back to the table. You probably noticed, and maybe you haven't, in the press releases that CENTCOM is issuing. They're now putting in the hour at which the strikes are beginning, and they're adding in the hour at which the strikes are ending. That's unheard of. We never did that before. They're doing that as a message sending. I think that's what that's about. That's about trying to encourage the moderates to get the IRGC on board. That's what really needs to happen here. Because until that happens, or until the Supreme Leader actually exerts some leadership over the IRGC and reins them in, I really don't think the President has very good options here for an exit ramp. And I agree with you, he wants out of this. I think you can hear the Secretary Rubio yesterday talking about the door being open. I think they really do want to find a negotiated way out of here, and I applaud them for that. But until the Supreme Leader can get control over his own system, I just don't know how we get there.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

How long does that take, Admiral?

[Admiral Kirby]

I mean. I mean, it could happen in a moment if the Supreme Leader decides to exert that kind of leadership or he's willing to push back on the irgc. But I don't see any indication that he can do that. I mean, it could happen. It could happen relatively quickly, and I think they want it to. You'll notice they're starting to reposition forces now. Centcom's already starting to move extra aircraft in. They are getting ready for a return to what they consider major combat operations. And that could take this to a much wider war, escalate it in very dangerous ways in the region, and then finding an off ramp is going to be near impossible.

[Political Commentator]

You think that once Donald Trump is gone, it's the end of maga? I don't know if it's the end of that sort of attitude. I mean, the MAGA is the closest thing to the modern version of the Nazi Party. This is America's version. It's a close, closest thing without the Holocaust and all that stuff, that sort of mindset. That's what Maggie is. Because most intelligent people are logical people. When they get new information, and if that information is not. Is negative or not factual, then they change their minds with me. Oh, well, I wish I had known better. And now That I have this information, then I can readjust. No matter what you, the, no matter how many facts and how much information you give him, you give them about this presidency, about the policies, they don't change their minds because they're really not voting for the price of eggs. They're voting for white supremacy, they're voting for power. They're voting to have a preeminent voice. They don't, they're afraid of, they've been co opted by many people in the Republican Party and Donald Trump to think that their failures are due to something else. The other, the black person, the woman, the Latino, the immigrant, the migrant. That person is taking your job. That person is the reason that you don't have the financial or career success that you think that you should have. It's because of them. We want to take our country back. That's what MAGA is.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Monday the 20th of July, year of alert 2026. We're going to kick off the week. We've got Jim Rickard's going to be here talking about the geopolitics of it all. John Solomon joins me. John, we're going to go to break here momentarily. I want to hold you through the break, but I'd like you to respond to David Ignatius. You know, he's, he's from the, the Langley bugle, formerly known as Bezos, Amazon, Washington Post. He's really the comms department for the deep state address. His, his charges that if you actually listen to the President's speech, which is the biggest attack on the deep state or government entity in the history of the country, but if you actually go to the receipts, the receipts tell a different story. Your thoughts?

[John Solomon]

Used to work at the Washington Post. As you know, I scored quite a few front page articles when I was there. And a lot of David's colleagues used to call him David Ignoramus. Not Ignatius, but ignoramus, meaning he was ignorant. He would write whatever talking points would give him. So let me give you two examples before I address what he claims about President Trump so you see the pattern. January 4, 2016. Excuse me. January 4, 2017, the FBI cleared Mike Flynn of all wrongdoing. They were going to close down the case the next day. Barack Obama, January 5, 2017, on the way out the door, has a meeting in the White House to figure out how they can trip up and hang an innocent Mike Flynn for something he didn't do. And seven days later, David Ignatius is the guy that gets the leak. On a perfectly legal call between Mike Flynn and the Russian ambassador Kislyak. So he was wrong. He was helping the Deep State smear a man who had just been cleared by the FBI. That timeline is in the documents I've made public personally. In 2020, he came out in the middle of the John Durham report and said the Senate Intelligence Committee proves that there was a collusion racket going on between Donald Trump and the Russian Federation. Then a couple years later, under the Biden administration, the Justice Department put out the Durham report, saying there wasn't one iota of evidence. That's his record. When we come back for the break, I'll literally address how he's an ignoramus on this story.

Amazing spectacle, really, for people who didn't watch Thursday night. The president was really, you know, almost shouting. He was making the wildest charges about election fraud and deep state conspiracies. It's the kind of thing that you see online in, you know, Very intense blogs and sites, but don't hear that directly very often from the President. But he said, you know, if you want to check this out, go to whitehouse.gov and look at the intelligence documents that I've just declassified. So over the weekend, I took him at his work and I thought, okay, I'm not doing anything else Saturday other than watching England massacre France. But I did read these documents, and it's extraordinary, Joe, that if you look over them carefully, they rebut almost everything that the President said. A key part of his case was the Chinese tried to defeat me, intentionally went out to defeat me in the 2020 election, which obviously he still can't get over. He can't believe that he lost. So it must have been the Chinese. And you look at the intelligence assessments that were produced, which he's, thank you very much, supplied, and you see that the consensus judgment of the intelligence community was precisely the opposite, that the Chinese did not decide to intervene to defeat Trump. They thought about it, but they decided against it. There were a few analysts.

They thought about it, but they decided not to. We've got two graybeards with us. Rikker is going to give us the geopolitics of what's happening in the Middle east as we ramp up nine straight days of bombing. John Solomon here. Talk about the. Even David Ignatius. John. And folks, particularly those new to the show. David Ignatius, senior reporter over and columnist at the Washington Post, but known as a mouthpiece of the deep state of the worst elements of the CIA, always gets things wrong. But I, I want to directly. First off, he did make a point that I think is. Is missed. What the President did in the actual speech from the East Room on Thursday night was extraordinary. That has never been done before in American history. Then he declassified documents. Never done. Just walk me through the first charge of Ignatius that he was shouting. And this is things you see like in shows, like online. Go ahead, sir.

[John Solomon]

I was in the room. He wasn't shouting at all. In fact, he had a little bit of a hay fever going on. And so he was actually a little lower voiced than normal. It wasn't like his rally voice. He was serious. And every word he uttered. I just want to point this out again. The CIA, the nsa, the FBI and the Homeland Security Department vetted and said it was accurate before he said so. When David Ignatius, mouthpiece for the government, says that the President was lying, he's accusing the foreign intelligence agencies of lying. But I want to take ignoramus and morning Snow job to a New place, let's go to right where they belong. He's exactly right. If you read the 2020 assessments, absent the fact that what was removed from them, what wasn't in them, was the proof that China had hacked into and obtained the voter files. That's what they say. But the second you realize that what the President said is, hey, in 2020, they kept this out of the 2020 assessments, but had they put it in, this would amount it to election interference. I'm going to tell you today, under the definition of the intelligence community's definition of election interference, President Trump for the first time proved that China interfered in the 2020 election. That wasn't in the 2020 assessments. That was part of his story. But let me read it to you. Page three of the October 16, 2020 NIC report does something that the Intelligence Committee seldom does. It gives us the actual definition for election interference. By the way, a lot of the boobs in the media think that influence is a lesser charge and interference is a more serious charge. It's the other way around. Interference is only a part of election influence, which the intelligence community considers more serious. But I'm going to read you the definition because it's the first time in my 40 years in reporting I saw the intelligence community define it this way. Quote, election interference is a subset of election influence targeted at the technical aspects of the election, including voter registration. Just keep that pinned. Casting and counting of ballots and reporting of results. The President, for the first time provided evidence that China was targeting and successfully acquiring illicitly voter registration. The President actually proved election interference by this definition on Thursday. And David's right. In 2020, all those buddies at Langley and NSA, they suppressed this from the report. Had this been in the report, they would have had to admit it. But Donald Trump put the evidence that was missing from those 2020 reports. David Ignatius has no response for it because he had to ignore this. He had to go on Morning Joe and ignore that level of detail to make his snow job case this morning.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Also, this whole concept that you could buy commercially what you buy commercially cannot be actually manipulated. It can be used for analytics, but not manipulate. The reason they hacked it, the reason they have this whole special unit of cyber hackers now coupled with AI, as I warn people all the time, is that they go to get the voter file so they can hack it, so they can actually manipulate. This is why people in Georgia show up and they go, right, I'm here to vote. And they go, well, hang on, you already voted. And they go, what do you Talk about I didn't vote. This is what the CCP does coupled with the 278,000 illegal aliens or aliens that are here, non citizens that are here, that just in four states. You notice Morning Joe never discusses those two aspects of this.

[John Solomon]

Sir, you can't, you can't because the figures are too big for him to explain away. Let me get to a very important point about this and I think it's, it's essential for people to understand what the President laid out on Thursday night and its significance long term. Yes, you can buy election data. You're not allowed to use it to influence election. The second you do, you're actually violating the law. But more importantly, what you buy commercially is not what the Chinese got. Most states don't sell the date of birth, they don't sell the driver's license, they don't sell the Social Security number, they don't sell other personally identify information that the NSA and the CIA determined that China had in its hands. And by the way, in 2022 China confirmed that a CNE that's an exploitation expert, it could be a person, it could be a whole unit. Unclear to me. That might be classified still. So I don't know. But whoever it was, they were directly hacking in and hacking the information that tells you that they went and got the data that's not commercially available. That's exactly what happened in Great Britain in 24. And Joe Biden charged the Chinese actor in Great Britain for hacking. I wonder if the Trump Justice Department doesn't now go back and charge this CNE, this person or unit that was doing it in 2022 that would saw off the limb that all these silly media reporters are hanging onto this morning. Yes, they bought commercial data, then they went and hacked the stuff that you couldn't get commercially and we have the proof of it. And all of that constitutes and meets the definition of the Intelligence Committee's what the intelligence community considers to be election interference. Donald Trump for the first time did what the intelligence community failed to do in 2020. He proved election interference by showing that China had targeted our voter registration data. Just like that definition says

[Stephen K. Bannon]

there's two tracks, number one, and we don't obviously don't disclose you want where you're going but generally what's the direction the task force, particularly on this topic. I know there are other topics people don't realize the task broad mandate on declassification, but just in this topic and at what point now they're talking about attaching the SAVE act to a CR to force the Senate. I mean, I'm not saying they're gimmicks, but. And I realize a brand and the team over the White House are trying to look at every alternative on the Save America Act. But on those two things directionally, where are you heading on this topic? Number two, what needs to be done now immediately to make sure they can't steal the 2026 midterms, which is their intention, sir.

[John Solomon]

So first off, the release Thursday night caused more people to come forward to the task force and divulge new things that we're trying to get our hands on. And we're working very quickly to declassify that new evidence related to elections. We're looking at many other things. If Americans want to prove all the fake news media wrong, all the people that you showed in your clip this morning, tomorrow morning, they could just simply call the Senate and bring the Senate's phones to a halt. There could be millions of people, if they wanted to call the Senate and say, I don't believe NBC and CNN and ABC and all those who told me there's nothing there, I know there's something there, pass the same vote. Imagine if millions of people started calling the Senate switchboard tomorrow and brought it to its knees. What impact that might have on all these senators who haven't taken the time to learn what you and I are talking about here. Third, I think when you listen to what Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen described, you have fixes underway. If you can get these patches into the computer system, great. If you can get new identity measures to make sure a Chinese person can't register with your information or cause other trouble with your information, that's a great thing. And then finally, I think now the Justice Department and the FBI have a new suspect, a new potential defendant they could indict to create accountability that CNI went unpunished because it was kept out of the intelligence reports. Whoever that person or persons are, the Trump Justice Department, the Trump FBI, can do to that what Joe Biden did to the Chinese for hacking Great Britain while keeping us in the dark about our own hack. Those are three accountability measures that I could imagine happening in the next few weeks.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

John Solomon, where do we go to keep up with all of it? And you're still coming in and helping pinch it. Amanda Head is anchoring the show. You're coming in when you can. Where do people go for all your content?

[John Solomon]

Yep. Jay Solomon reports on social media. JustINews.com is a website and I'm lucky enough to follow you. Every six o' clock on Real America's Voice with Justin News. No noise. I've made most of the shows. I did miss Thursday. I have to admit I missed Thursday ahead of the speech. But we'll be on tonight. We'll be talking about David Ignatius and what a dishonest job these reporters are doing. It's shameful. If you just compare how they covered Joe Biden's announcements on China hacking with how they covered Donald Trump, you will see the double standard in hypocrisy that all those networks are using. They're committing fraud upon the American people. Maybe been looking at the wrong agencies. Everybody says fcc, fcc. I wonder if there isn't a fraud standard to be pursued at the Federal Trade Commission. Those reporters are lying to the public using a public license. I think that's worth looking at at the Federal Trade Commission.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Wow, John Solomon, that'll you're breaking a little news here. We look forward to seeing you six and a deeper drill down on David Ignatius in the Langley Bugle. Thank you sir. Appreciate you starting here.

[John Solomon]

Thanks my friend. Good to be with you.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

The task force buried lead right there. Other people are coming forward so there's going to be a lot of whistleblowers, a lot of new information. Task force continues on Bill Pulte. Wild Bill Pulte is continue to hammer away at dni. Okay, we're going to pivot Jim Rickards who's been kind of right about this entire thing, particularly the escortory ladder next.

[Political Commentator]

War room.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

Welcome. Welcome back. The Morning Joe. And the reason they kick off with this today is in over the weekend, you tell the mainstream media and the Democratic establishment and the radicals are absolutely panicked by what the task force under Solomon. And I've got to give a special shout out to Bill Pulte because look, Solomon's been doing this forever. He's been doing this for 40 years, okay? He's one of the most experienced guys in town and he has deep connections. Plus the task force he's got around him are some of the best people President Trump's ever had that understand the deep state have worked inside the intelligence agency. So he's got a task force and they're grinding. There's going to be more revelations, there are more people coming forward and you see how Ignatius has got to lie about what's in the documents. I recommend you go to the documents. The problem I've got with the documents, they're too redacted. But I understand this about sources of method and this is how the administrative state and deep state push back. So you can't see more information. But it's a start. No president in the history. The closest it came, the closest it came was General Eisenhower, the supreme commander in Europe that had and then wrote the book Crusade in Europe about the, the ground war and I guess the air war too in, in Europe, particularly northwest Europe in World War II, warned us about the military industrial complex. That gets played over and over again now. At the time it kind of went over people's head, but he had seen it from the inside and warned about it. It's the first time a president from the White House had ever sat there and say, hey, here's a problem you have. And this. I said it's about who governs. Where's the center of gravity of sovereignty in this nation? Who governs? President Trump's address to the nation on Thursday night was historic and will be looked at as historic. Now you have to take action after that. My recommendation on China is because we're the leaders of the anti CCP movement in this country, they should immediately pull all the all the visas for the kids coming here and study. I mean we should do it for AI and you see right now that the White House, the access has got a piece of the the White House is starting to I think listen to things we're saying about the CCP and what's happening with these artificial intelligence models and David Sacks and the tech bros. The broligarchs are all in a tizzy because they want it both ways. They want to get the money for funding China and they want to have totally no regulation to do do what thou thou wilt in this the but gotta face reality. There's no messaging, there's no surrogate program. There's, you know, there's the war room and there's a couple of others that are Dr. This but the evidence is so overwhelming that it's got legs of its own. But no official kind of response. I think it's Natalie Allison at the Washington Post, lead story, if you go to the website is a story about the official GOP response to President Trump's speech the other night. And, and they're hiding and let me be very specific. She cites Watley. Watley. Watley had a campaign. This guy's down in the polling. I don't know public polling game. Six, eight, nine down. I hear this internal polling getting worse than that. I can tell you, talking to many grassroots folks down in North Carolina, there's zero enthusiasm. Let me rephrase that. There's less than zero enthusiasm for Watley. He just hasn't initiated a spark because they say this guy's not really maga. Now he was put in there because of everything he had done on the election side in the RNC, which was really nothing.

[News Correspondent]

0.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Filing a bunch of lawsuits that you lose is not action. And in that they tell Wiley had. I think, I think he had an event on Friday. This is a guy that's way behind, needs grassroots enthusiasm. They did not mention once President Trump's address. Let me repeat that. A guy running for the Senate in North Carolina who is behind and everybody will admit behind and I think behind by a lot of has a. Has an event and does and talks about community safety, all important things, very important things. But doesn't mention this. The official response of the Republican and this is the donors. They don't want to talk about it. What they want to talk about is affordability and economics. And I keep saying what do you mean talk about? For it, it's action. People either know their lived experience and it's either getting more affordable and there Are more opportunities and things are turning. You can't sell them on it. You come out and talk every day about it. It just, it go. It's white noise. It goes in one ear at the other because people's lived experience is going to inform them of what their beliefs are of, of, you know, what the cost of living is. And nothing the Democrats can say can change that. That people are not like. I just don't believe people are, are mesmerized or some. It's been some sort of psyop. So you have to talk about issues important. The issues that are important we're going to get posto up in the next hour is who governs and what's the true nature of the enemy here now? Marco Ruby. And people are running around now and that, you know, there's a huge story in Politico. Oh, you know, it's all about they're going to scare him. It's the scare him election. Because now you've got Republicans jumping on and they don't know what they're doing. They're running around, oh my God, the communists are going to come over, take over tomorrow. It's much deeper than that and more serious than that. And you're not acting like you're serious people. Why are you not acting like you're serious people? Because you're not getting down to issues to be competitive in a midterm election is about turning out your base in droves and also getting the lower information voters that are part of your base that maybe skips midterms to be enthusiastic. That comes from inspiring grassroots leaders. That comes from getting people fired up. One of the top issues is the stealing of elections. And you just put it out there that the 2020 election was stolen. You just got to read the documents and connect the dots. And this is why what Pulte's done, Pulte should be kept his dni because I thought, look, I thought Jay Clayton was underwhelming in his performance. Their establishment Republican Party loved it. They couldn't get enough of it. I just don't think that Jay Clayton's going to make the change. He's going to be confirmed and he's going to be the next dni. It's just about when that happens. And I think you make a very compelling case. You need Pulte as kind of the wingman. You got a task force that's driving, that's got people that are, that are seen. You got Pulte who just happens to be somebody who is, who has instincts for when you know stuff you can't coach. He has instincts of what's right or wrong. What he did at DNI has never been done before, and he did it in three and a half or four weeks. And so not only is he a patriot, I think he's put his life in jeopardy, but he's just doing an amazing job. I hope and, and wish the President would keep him there for at least a while longer. A while longer. Definition, I don't know. Let me pick a random date. How about through the midterm elections?

[John Solomon]

Right.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

And I think there's got to be messing on the, on the information. The President had a historical address. I would put it in the top two or three addresses that the President has ever had for the gravitas of content. And I would certainly like to see a, I don't know, a messaging plan, a surrogate plan, because we knew many people in the White House did not want him to do this. I'd also ask, why is the White House not at the tip of the spear for changes that has to be done in elections today? What is holding up? I think I know. And once we know. No, because I don't know. No, but I know we'll be making some revelations on that. Okay, let's pivot now. And by the way, Garland Favorito is going to be here. So out in the hustings, I've talked to all the people involved in all the different states. We're going to get Jim Hoft and his team up. Not this morning, when we get Hoft and his team up doing Michigan. Garland's going to join us and others, but Garland today in Georgia. Let me pivot to. So Rickards, first off, Rickards, you kind of know these folks. You were there for a while. Your assessment of President Trump's address, the gravitas of it. And let me hear your feedback on David Ignatius, the comms director for the Deep State for the Langley Bugle.

[Jim Rickards]

Sir? Yeah. First, I agree with you that this was historic, that, you know, the revelations were, were very deep, very powerful. I think John Solomon did a great job of, of explaining it. And by the way, John Solomon always has great reporting, but there are these little nuggets that are even more valuable. When he said ftc, you know, light went on. I mean, I, I've been up, I've done a lot of litigation. I've been up against, against all these agencies, you know, sec, irs, Treasury, FTC or whatever. And a lot of them are constrained. Meaning IRS is tough, SEC is tough. But they have rules. The FTC has one of the broadest mandates. It's kind of like what's unfair? Well, you tell me. But the point is it's a very powerful agency. It's kind of underutilized in a lot of ways. So that was a really, I think, very telling point. They hope the White House follows up on that. But, yeah, that's the drive from Langley over to DNI headquarters. Nice people. I wasn't sure what they were doing, but the DNI was created to deal with the fact that in 9 11, the CIA had half the puzzle, the FBI had the other half of the puzzle, and they never talked to each other. So they said instead of solving that problem, they created another layer of bureaucracy. So I don't know what the point of that was, but that's what that 2004 Intelligence act was all about. But, yeah, Ignatius is, is Malpeas. I mean, David Sanger at the New York Times a little better, but, yeah, they're just propagandists.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Talk to me. You've been, you've had a number of cold shots since you came in here about a month ago and said, hey, look, I don't see this MOU working. I think it's kind of a travesty. It does everything we don't want to do, like give the Persians a bunch of cash and take restrictions. That kind of ends economic warfare and goes. And it really depends upon their tender mercies. That has not worked out. You said, hey, look, the only thing you're going to see here is an escalatory ladder. That's what's going to happen. This is going to escalate. So now that we've done nine days of bombing and do I have. I want to play this clip real quickly because I think Admiral Kirby, I think he's got something we've been talking about with you now for a couple months. Let's play the clip from Kirby on Morning Joe.

The opportunity to resolve this. They're not opening the straight. He faces bad choices. You sat with chairman, with presidents in the Situation Room. What kind of advice would you offer to a president who clearly feels he's just stuck in a terrible dilemma?

[Admiral Kirby]

The problem is largely in Tehran. The IRGC and the moderates, if you want to call them, are not communicating and not on the same page. And as you well know, David, the IRGC have perfect command and control over all their leaders in the field. And so the difficulty for President Trump is he's, he's trying to manipulate this escalation in a way that again encourages the Iranians back to the table. You probably notice or maybe you haven't in the press releases at

[Stephen K. Bannon]

as we've said, he shattered the command structure of IRGC and you've gone down the food chain and they're actually more hardcore because obviously they have to to impress their masters. We got about a minute on this side. Rickards, your thoughts on Admiral Kirby, what he's talking about and we'll hold you through the break.

[Jim Rickards]

Yeah, I think Kirby's probably right about this division between the IRGC and now as I said, it's a younger crowd. They killed the 70 year olds and 60 year olds but they got a lot of 40 year olds who were really post revolution, meaning 1979 and really much more hardcore. So I think Kirby's right about the distinction. But my reaction is so what? Ask yourself a simpler question. Who's in charge? The IRGC is in charge. So the fact that there's another group out there is interesting data but irrelevant because the IRGC is running the show.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Well then you're saying, okay, we're gonna hold you through. I want your answer. This on the other side, what President Trump is trying to do for a diplomatic solution or negotiated solution is deal with moderates. And you're saying although the command structure of the Revolutionary Guard may be shattered, they're still in charge because they control, they ultimately make decisions. Because it's a military state. Correct?

[Jim Rickards]

Yeah, that's what we've been saying and we've said it all along. That's why we are where we are.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Okay, hang over a second. Jim Rickards is going to stick with us and I've got Garland Favorito from Georgia that's going to be with us too. Okay, we got a ton of specials from our sponsors for you.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

Okay, Jim, the it's nine days of bombing is going to continue on. They're trying to drive people back to the negotiating table. I think we're now actually hitting infrastructure in addition to military installations. They're expanding their hits not just in the Persian Gulf. They've taken out a couple of our troops in Jordan. And people are starting to ask the question, why in the hell we have bases in Jordan? Why we have the bases in Iraq? Why are we all spread over hell's half acre in the Middle East? It's time to bring them home. Ruby actually said getting on the plane to go to Asia today to talk to the Asian alliance, that we're not the finally just said, hey, we're not the policeman of the world. Thank you, Senator Rubio, since as senator, you're one of the big guys that push. We were the policemen of the world. Glad to see that you're finally seeing the light. So what is then the president to do, sir?

[Jim Rickards]

Well, Steve, you know, when you're out of good choices, you have to go to the bad ones or at least the hard ones. And that's where we are. So I'll just go through this really quickly. The way you do this analytically is you have hypotheses and you test them against facts as they play out. So there's not going to be a deal. The deal that Trump would accept, which is basically the mou, which wasn't horrible from Trump's point of view. You reopen straight, we stop bombing and we keep talking about everything else, panels of experts and all that Iran said, yeah, we'll do that. They start blowing up oil tankers. So that didn't work. The deal that Iran would accept is, you know, give us 70, $80 billion we take the strait and you get out of the Middle East. Trump's not going to accept, so it's not going to be a deal for that reason. So then you get into where we are now. I call it escalation. But where we are right now with the escalation is a forever war. So we're bombing bridges. They have more bridges than we have bombs. We're going to run out of ammunition sooner than later. One thing the Pentagon did that was really smart, I mean, there have been some dumb moves, but one of them is really smart. China. We're back to sort of, you know, Mahan and Mackinder. But China has been building overland routes in the heartland, railroads coming out of Jiang Shangcheng to Pakistan and Iran, and you can move oil by train. This is why some years ago Warren Buffett bought the Burlington Northern Railroad because he knew they weren't going to reopen the xl. The, the Keystone XL pipeline. And you just get tanker cars and so it's a moving pipeline on rails. Well, we started blowing that up. China wasn't happy, but too bad for them. So that was a smart move. But basically you could take Carg island, but what's the point? We have a good blockade. The blockade works, it has consequences. But why take over Carg island when you've got an effective blockade? So that's what we're doing, but it's non sustainable. Again, you're back to refined product and jet fuel and everything else. We're starting to run out of all those things very quickly and you'll destroy the global economy. So escalation, it has a short term, feel good aspect, but it won't work. So when you go through all that, what's left? Well, what we're going to do in my view is my estimate based on these analytical methods. We're going to take the heu, we're going to go get the highly enriched uranium. Because if you do that, and by the way, that's a high cost exercise, I'm not making light of it, but if you do that, I call it Operation Aztec. The Aztecs used to rip the beating hearts out of their victims. You rip the HEU out of that, then who cares what, what Iran does next?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

But you're saying, hey, standby, you're going to see a commando or Navy SEAL or Army Rangers, but somehow you're going to have actual combat troops, special forces in there to get, to go, to go collect it.

[Jim Rickards]

But that would be, that would be division level strength to have a security perimeter, army corps of engineers, maybe the CBs, special operations, you know, air power intelligence.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

This is not, this is not, this is if we provided air power. This is not something America's greatest ally could do, which they noticeably have been kept out of this escalation of the war.

[John Solomon]

Sir.

[Jim Rickards]

No, Israel doesn't have the US Does. And by the I'm not saying it's low cost. It will be casually. I'm not even advocating it. But I'm not an advocate. I'm an analyst. I'm, I'm, this is, I'm saying this is what in my view is going to happen because the only thing that can happen that will end this and

[Stephen K. Bannon]

basically avoid a forever war the denuclearization part. You've got a special people want to get your thinking. You've got this newsletter that is kind of iconic, right. It's been around a long time. Strategic intelligence, which is based upon predictive analytics. You've got a one time good deal for the Warren posse in honor of the 250th and your staff who thought it up or you is brilliant. $17.76 1776 for three months. If you don't love it, you just, they contact you say hey Jim, I just don't love it. I want my 17.76 back. You do that and then you move on. So it's a one time good deal, sir.

[Jim Rickards]

That's exactly right. Thanks, David. So RickardsIntel.com RickardsIntel.com is the landing page. We started this at the Fourth of July, but it proved extremely popular. So 1776, 17.76 for three months. It's a, it's a big issue. It's, we put out 9, 10,000 words into there's a lot there. I write all the lead articles and, and if you don't like it within 30 days, call us up, we'll give you your money back and you can keep the bonus reports that come with it which are very valuable in and of themselves. But the, the fact is most people do continue they sign up for a year after that and it's extremely popular. So rickardsintel.com 1776 $17.76 three months and we hope people enjoy it.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Jim, I want to this is a dynamic situation, as we say about this war with the Persians. I want to make sure that I can reach I'll reach out to you later in the week for an update because you've been unfortunately, you've been dead spot on. And we are where we are, but it ain't Getting better. Jim Rickards, thank you so much. Appreciate you.

[Jim Rickards]

Thanks.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

1776 Garland Favorito. Garland, I'm gonna keep you through the break, but first you're you got to go pretty far in the woods to hit Garland Favorito's tripwire. You just put out a fiery press release from Vote GA this morning. We're gonna get it up. What, what, what pushed you to put out this. This fiery press release on a Monday morning?

[John Solomon]

So, Steve, we analyzed the coverage over the weekend and it was and we knew a little bit about what was going to be in the president's speech. But the coverage. We had three of the networks that didn't cover the speech at all. Two of them cut the speech and then they distort.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

I think we've launched this hookup. Okay. We'll get Garland back up in a moment. Garland actually used the T word. That would be treason. Pretty. Pretty big for Garland Favorito. We're getting back up. Posobic Rosemary Jinx. A bunch of rumors out there but shouldn't say rumors. Actually a fact about an agriculture bill that gives amnesty to agricultural workers. Don't think that's going to happen. But we're going to talk about it. That is a reality, but we'll talk all about it.
