Iran's president responding, saying that its level of force and its actions will make Israel regret the actions that it took earlier today. Similar to the pager operation that Israel carried out last year in Lebanon, this one also took years of planning. Mossad released this footage earlier this morning of the Operation Rising lion between the IDF and Mossad which began at 3am local time. Although preparation began long before. The mission included Mossad smuggling vehicles and drones into Iran. Setting up a drone base in Iran and activating the drones this morning to hit Iran's surface to air missiles. At the same time, The IDF deployed 200 aircraft, these were mainly fighter jets, to hit roughly 100 targets in Iran. All of this aimed at hitting the heart of Iran's nuclear program. Today the Israeli military says it also destroyed dozens of radar installations moving. Multiple explosions were heard at Iran's Natanz nuclear power facility. This is Iran's main enrichment facility. Now back and forth today between how much has actually been hit and the level of damage there. Iran claims that it's still standing, but Israel says it has been severely damaged.

We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear weaponization program. We targeted Iran's main enrichment facility in Natanz. We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working.

Washington says it was not involved and the top priority is protecting American forces here in the region. Iran's Foreign Ministry firing back today claiming that this could not have been carried out without the coordination and without the approval of the U.S. the IDF says most of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps high command was killed while gathering in an underground headquarters including several of the highest ranking military commanders. We do expect the number of military officials killed to grow in the coming hours as we get more information about how all of this was carried out this morning. We also know that Iran says as many as six nuclear scientists were killed in these attacks. In response, Iran launched as many as 100 drones towards Israel. All of those were able to be struck down not only by the iaf, the air force with these fighter jets trying to take down those drones, but also some of the drones that were fired into Jordan's airspace were shot down by their government as well.

And Steve, just to go a step further, you know, of course we stand with our allies, of course we stand with Israel and all of our allies. However, we've been told for as long as I can remember, 20, maybe 30 years now that, that Iran is on the verge of having a nuclear weapon any day, any day. And we constantly hear that scary threat to us, but we've heard it too many times and Americans are just fatigued and they're sick of it. And we really want to focus on the self inflicted problems that we've created and fix them right here at home.

Stephen K. Bannon
War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.
- [04:38]
Israeli Military Official
Welcome to the War Room. It's Natalie Winters hosting today Friday. I was gonna say June 13th but it's not that often you get to say Friday the 13th here in the war room. Our Lord 20 and I guess quite prophetic for it to be Friday the 13th. The world is on fire. Obviously Stephen K. Bannon has said that to open many shows but today probably truer than ever at least if you look in terms of kinetic conflict. What happened in Iran overnight and has continued to escalate. I think that cold open we just played sort of interesting cuts obviously mtg. I think underscoring what worms approach worms line has been on this conflict from the get go. But I think a significant buried lead from that Fox package that we played coming from I believe Israeli sources talking about how this was an attack that had, you know, been planned for years, certainly under Joe Biden, but perhaps even going back into President Trump, which I think is sort of an interesting narrative to be happening concurrently with the idea that, you know, Iran's nuclear capabilities have just hit a point that are so unlivable, you know, we can't continue on this path that it necessitated a strike last night. Obviously, I'm sure both sides of the story, untrue. There's certainly some nuance to it. So honored to bring on none other than Kurt Mills, who has been, I think, sort of our Sherpa through this rather complicated region. Not because it's actually that complicated, just because there's so many conflicts of interest there that no one ever wants to disclose. And I guess militant Islamic theocracy probably doesn't help. But Kurt, I'm curious to just start off, get your sort of overall assessment on what we've seen transpiring in Iran, Israel's escalation, the whole thing.
- [06:28]
Kurt Mills
Yeah, I mean, obviously conflicts of interest go over, but it doesn't really matter. At the end of the day, this was a fairly prolific strike by the Israelis. And what is, I think the open question right now is the, is the, is the exact chronology? Did Israel decide to strike and inform the president earlier this week and then, you know, President Trump objected behind the scenes or was he actually in on it from the, from the start? Also unclear is what are we looking at? Is there going to be a series of Israeli strikes because they've essentially teased that, or will there this be it? And you're going to see pretty rapid Iranian counter attacks in short order. And that's certainly what was feared, that's certainly what is concerned. But I mean, this is the biggest strike by the US or the US allies basically since the 80s, you know, arguably since the Islamic Revolution itself in 1979. And it's a profound moment. And it's a profound moment that raises questions about how this fits into Trump's broader foreign policy. I mean, Trump appeared last week, last month, I should say, in the Gulf, in Saudi, in UAE and in Qatar, and was sort of arm in arm with the Gulf partners. Today, particularly Saudi has denounced this move by the Israelis. And so it would, it would raise open questions of how this works within the broader Trump architecture. And additionally, I would say on a sort of intra right plane, you see a lot of prominent MAGA voices being very quiet today, demure, not necessarily casting doubt on the exact wisdom of any of this, but not celebrating it either. And the contingent that is is frothing, happy, that is extremely happy, is of course, the sort of traditional neoconservative old guard Bush wing which Trump has warred with for most of his political career. So it is quite the Friday the 13th, and we will have to see what happens. Further, the olive branch exists from the White House for the Iranians to meet in Oman this weekend. The Foreign Ministry has officially declined that invitation, but there is chattering that it could, in theory, still happen. Again, this stuff moves hour by hour, minute by minute. You know, I appeared on Steve's program, you know, War Room with Steve hosting last night, and, you know, I forecasted that, and I was hearing that a strike was imminent, and sure enough, it was hours later here in the Middle East.
- [09:10]
Israeli Military Official
I think that's like the curse of War Room, where we don't want to be vindicated on our projections or predictions. But unfortunately, we don't underestimate our enemies or lie about their mental health. So we end up getting most things right. I'm curious to your point about who's relishing in these attacks. Obviously, the more neocon, establishment wing. I think there's sort of been two, I would say, divergent narrative camps. I think the people on Twitter who are saying, you know, we've given Israel, you know, X amount of money probably, I don't even want to say the number on this program would be so infuriating to the audience. You know, we describe them as an ally. It seems like he's sort of, you know, in some cases circumventing President Trump, doing things that he explicitly said he did not want to do. And people are sort of pointing out the hypocrisy or just, you know, double standard of that relationship. But then you have an Axios report coming out, which Denver, if you have the picture you can toss up on screen, I'll read it. Saying that two Israeli officials claimed to Axios that Trump and his aides were only pretending to oppose an Israeli attack in public and didn't express opposition in private. Quote, we had a clear US Green light. One claimed. The goal, they say, was to convince Iran that no attack was imminent and make sure Iranians on Israel's target list wouldn't move to new locations. Netanyahu's aides even briefed Israeli reporters that Trump had tried to put the brakes on an Israeli strike in a call on Monday, when in reality the call dealt with coordination ahead of the attack. Israeli officials now say now, perhaps that's just some, you know, military planning that I guess, Sun Tzu would be proud of. But your thoughts on sort of the validity of that, if you think that's the case or what's really going on?
- [10:46]
Kurt Mills
Well, I mean, if I may I think something else I would have highlighted in orange there is the state of play, which is the US didn't confirm any of this. So this is the clear Israeli narrative. It doesn't mean it's not true. I mean, there were other reports. I believe an N12 stationed in Israel was reporting this. That is not, as far as I'm concerned, prestige Israeli reporting. But there were, there were percolations of this in the Israeli press. And it definitely seems like some Israeli officials, whoever they are, and Barack Ravid is a very serious reporter, are putting that narrative out there. I think tellingly, the White House has not officially corroborated it. You know, additionally, in the immediate aftermath of the strike, Secretary Rubio said categorically the US Wasn't involved. And you know, I think that's a fairly extraordinary statement for it to be not true. So what's going on here? There's basically only two real scenarios. Number one, the Israelis are telling the full truth. Draw your own conclusions. Or secondarily, elements of the administration, namely the President of the United States are trying to claim that they were in on it from the beginning because it's obviously embarrassing if of an ally, a junior partner in an alliance gets out ahead of the US And I think that's what causes, you know, consider amount of disquiet about this relationship in general. But the question is obviously today is this the sort of, you know, I think it's a relationship that in the long term on the right is running on fumes. But is the fumes quite potent which is a sort of dead cat bounce of the sort of neocon old guard approach to things because they certainly got their way today and it has to be said. And you know, look, I mean I hope that, you know, the Iranians will come to the table and sign a deal and I hope that the Iranian counter response will be limited and not that lethal. But this is a major roll of the dice and it is not at all clear the US had much of a say in it. It looks like a foreign government was in the driver's seat, which, you know, from an America first perspective is not great.
- [12:54]
Israeli Military Official
Well, as you were saying that my mind goes to what happened in Russia and how, you know, the Trump administration or Secretary Ruby there is not as clearly a definitive statement drawing a Chinese wall. I guess all my metaphors today are rooted in PRC history, but I guess hopefully no prophetic deal there with the rhetoric. But I'm just curious how you think this interplays with other conflicts, whether Russia, Ukraine, even China how you think this will escalate or maybe how sort of re I guess orient the United States strategic position in that conflic?
- [13:35]
Kurt Mills
Yeah, I mean, I think the curious thing is that Trump is so often at the center of the Washington blob that so much wants to divide the world into two different axes. I mean, like the watchword of the Biden administration was the alleged axis of autocracies anchored around China, Russia and Iran. And the reality is, you know, look, this particular strike could be forgotten in history. It could all be gravy in six months, six weeks, six days time. But the reality is moves like this draw the Russians closer to the Chinese and draw the Iranians closer to the Russians and the Chinese as well. And becomes a sort of self fulfilling prophecy when we take these maneuvers. And additionally, you know, the US on the Middle east not last month, but this month is out on a ledge. You know, this was not approved by the reason the region. The Europeans are not game for this. It's really just the Trump White House, apparently. Although as recently as 24 hours ago there was considerable doubt and the Netanyahu government and the Netanyahu government might not be there anytime. Netanyahu's political position is extremely precarious. So it's certainly a high risk, high reward move by Netanyahu. And it's just not entirely clear how this served Trump or American interests. But you know, Trump has made bold maneuvers on Iran before he made it in January 2020. Greater War was averted, I think, you know, because of a lot of heroic lobbying behind the scenes, frankly. And it's very possible that this will be art of the deal and this will result in a durable Trump Iran deal. But as of now, the person in the driver's seat has been Benjamin Netanyahu, who does not want an Iran deal and in fact, you know, wants a ratchet to regime change, war ala Saddam Hussein in Iraq and the Israelis. This is the reporting that I do believe are actively lobbying the US to get involved in a war. And it's just, you know, does Trump want to use all his domestic credibility? Does Trump want to use all his political capital on this? Because, you know, it's very easy. It's like any human organization. You take over a company, you take over you know, a college, you take over anything. And you think you want to do all these things. And I think almost any executive will tell you you really only have the to do a few things. And if you get into a war, that's the whole enchilada.
- [16:02]
Israeli Military Official
I'm Curious, last question. In terms of, you know, being forced to prioritize this region, this conflict, where do you think that directly impacts President Trump's agenda the most? Is it, you know, a Ukraine, Russia, peace or cease fire? Is it what's going on at the southern border? Is that, you know, the leverage with the tariff negotiations? Where do you think this could potentially really hit? Hit the MAGA legacy where it hurts?
- [16:31]
Kurt Mills
Yeah, I mean, I think all three of them, frankly. So, I mean, very quickly, Russia, Ukraine, Russia is an ally of Iran. Iran is an ally of Russia. Additionally, the U.S. s word in negotiations is now questioned by this maneuver. And so it makes it less likely that the Russians will trust the American word. I think that's a recoverable reality. It is not the end of the world. But I think it is a negative precedent for a durable deal with the Russians and one that should be swiftly corrected by Washington and the White House on immigration. So, you know, this was very much done at the urging of the Israeli state. This was, in fact, affected by the Israeli state. Part of what the Netanyahu government wants is mass deportations in Gaza. So the US can barely do mass deportations in the United States. As I'm sure both you and your viewership is well aware. If the US it puts all of its hard power resources into mass deportations in a country that is not the United States, that's a pretty clear trade off. And then third, you know, trade negotiations going on of 190 countries, again, the US word. Forget the US word. Trump's word is now in greater question. And I think it does affect the American leverage to extract concessions for the American worker and the American consumer. And so. So, yeah, look, this might be part of a longer arc that makes sense in three, four or five days. So I think it's very important to keep our powder dry at this moment. But if the entire Trump project is going to be geared and driven by a foreign capital, that raises serious questions about how credible and how effective all of this will be. And the reality is, we've seen this show before. The George W. Bush White House worked hook, line and sinker with the Israelis. It's a complex situation. But much of the Israeli establishment wanted what the George W. Bush White House wanted, and those people are gone from power. And the Bush legacy is terrible. And it's one that President Trump should actively avoid.

Sure. Yeah. The magazine is the American Conservative presciently founded in 2002 against the Iraq war is www.the americanconservative.com founded by Pat Buchanan, Scott McConnell and others.

Israeli Military Official
Thank you sir for joining us. We'll have you back on soon. Warren Posse in the meantime, make sure checking out birchgold.com Bannon I think for all the times we've called the world turbulent today is probably a glowing if not glaring example of that. You can also text Bannon to 989-898 and give Philip Patrick and the team a call. I've heard firsthand that they love speaking to you guys. So represent the posse. Well that's burchgold.com Bannon if we have Mike Davis up, I will go to him. Do we have him Denver No. All right then we're going to go even better. Equally good. All the good guys. It's a murderers row. That's what Steve would probably say. Show tonight we got Dave Walsh who I wanted to bring on. Obviously when we talk about modern warfare, you know, we always hammer how it's not just the kinetic battlefield itself, right. There's ramifications whether it's the rare earths, the batteries, the magnets, the semiconductors, unrestricted warfare, I guess agricultural bioterrorism. The CCP is interested in waging that. Dave, I'm just curious to get your thoughts on how what's happening in Iran, what Israel's doing is going to affect not just energy prices here at home, but also President Trump's broader kind of energy agenda.
- [20:15]
Political Analyst
Well in the immediate term, you know, price per barrel is blipped up on Brent crude today by three to four bucks depending on the time of day. So already some reaction of, you know, possibility of a hormone shutdown and the related consequences of this action. But all, all proving one more time the domestic self dependency on that which is 92% of the United States energy supply. All in oil, gas, coal, nuclear power, not renewables, oil and gas right at the peak. We have got to be self sufficient. We've got to be self determining on this. We got to have to remain the largest producer in the world of oil and gas. Natural gas is our number one export commodity now in the country. So fundamental you've seen the balance of trade improvement, massive balance of trade improvement related to the tariffs. Well, oil and gas are right at the top of the list of our two Top items in terms of export value. So the criticality to the economy. But this, this just proves once again remember though, China is an ally of Iran. Iran have a deal with China for 20 years of supply at Brent crude -40% a massive discount that they enjoy. So they're very tied in with China militarily. Military hardware and technology come back to Iran inside of that oil deal. So they're very, very tightly related. So I think it augurs well to support President Trump's U.S. self dependency from not dependency on China for solar panels or inverters, not depending on Iran for oil and gas, but producing the year is the way forward. And so I think in the longer run this supports, you know, this whether or not we were involved in it, hopefully we weren't actually. But supports the need for self dependence on oil and gas.
- [22:02]
Israeli Military Official
I'm curious what your thoughts are on the rare earth deal that was reached with China or just that sort of evolving space too?
- [22:13]
Political Analyst
Well, a little bit circumspect about that because I'm watching here in Florida the state government all over total dependence on Chinese energy supply. For for example, for Florida, $52 billion of capex in the next 10 years have been laid out by FPL, Duke Energy and TECO for 91% application of solar farms and utility scale battery storage for example in this red state of Florida, 88% of which emanate from China. We're frankly not interested in getting more of their rare earths here. China is an enemy of this country. We don't want to become dependent on them for our electricity supply as this state now has joined many red states with a very silent governor actually promoting a number of false flag legislation pieces that are actually supporting the continuance of nothing but solar power and battery storage for Florida. So a lot of concern about why we need Chinese rare earths. We don't need them for energy production devices, inverters, battery storage. We don't want that stuff here, we don't want their thin film PV here. It's too expensive and now it's dangerous with potential sensors in it kill switches that can shut down the electrification supply. That may be what happened in Spain, we still don't know. But this, this costly energy from these devices is unaffordable for Americans. Florida Power and Light has just filed a $9 billion rate increase all about all solar for the next four years here as far as New Capex, the highest rate increase applied for by a public utility in the history of the United States of America. So to my Point for these years and years on this forum, this kind of power is unaffordable for average people in this country. It's five times, six times more costly, is intermittent, it's very part time. And by the way, like here in Florida, the sun value the Sunshine State, therefore this might sound Appealing is about 24th in the nation in terms of solar concentration for power. We have heavy cloud cover in the summer. There's no special advantage to Florida for harvesting solar power that is operational according to the NREL for only 5.2 hours a day. So not I'm not enamored with more Chinese dependency on rare earths or any other energy related topic.
- [24:42]
Israeli Military Official
What do you think the White House should be doing to rectify the rare earth? Not just the mineral sourcing, but more precisely the processing?
- [24:55]
Political Analyst
Well, we have abundant rare earths in Alaska, in Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, West Texas, New Mexico. The nation has an abundant resource of those kinds of materials to get involved in mining, cut loose the ability to mine and process rare earths to the extent they're necessary. They need processed. We can't, we can't delegate that to the third world because it's nasty and dirty. Sure it's not the cleanest thing in the world to process lithium and cobalt, but the fact of the matter is in a developed society one needs access to those kinds of, those kinds of mineral elements. So the, the ideation of harvesting that material in Alaska, in Idaho, in Arizona, New Mexico is fundamentally important. Yeah, we have to put up with the fact that they're not so clean in terms of finding ways to make the processing cleaner. That's incumbent on us and not delegate that to the third world, such as with some kind of a colonialist.

Dave, if you can hang with us through the break, I got a few more questions for you. But Warren Posse. This is why you guys got to be checking out. Birchgold.com/bannon giving Philip Patrick and the team a call. I think the energy issue, the rare earth is a perfect example of how our elites, our ruling class have put us in a position where there is, I was going to say no advantage I would take, just take status quo. But they're not negotiating with your interests at heart. I think what was it the, the company that helped reverse the offshoring of pharmaceutical manufacturing to China. In the same way you shouldn't be out of outsourcing your financial future to your so called betters. Right. Trusting the experts, whether it's the Fed Congress, take your pick. I think Congress certainly is demonstrating why you should not have any faith in them at the current moment, the big beautiful bill or otherwise. But hey, I guess we got, what is it, $9 billion in cuts. Yeah, don't mind if I don't clap for that. Let's add a few more zeros, then maybe you will. We'll be right back after the short break. Dave Walsh and Mike Davis.

Yeah, I mean, it's a huge deal for the president here and his administration. And we heard just moments ago the president saying that he wants to liberate Los Angeles and really attacking Governor Gaba Newsom and Mayor Bass for the way that they've been responding to him calling in the National Guard and, and the Marines to go and try and quell these protests, where obviously I'm sure if he's not alerted about it on stage, we'll soon after be hearing from him directly. I'm sure lauding that decision from the court. But to go back to some of the criticism we heard just now, I'm hearing him use that nickname for his derogatory nickname for Gavin States active duty.

Welcome back to the War Room where we are still joined by the one and only Dave Walsh. But still, you guys always got to be checking out. Birchgold.com Bannon texting bannon29898 get the latest installment. It's no longer the End of the Dollar Empire, though that, I guess is a very fitting title for the activities we've seen transpire today in the Middle East. But give Philip Patrick and the team a call. Like I always say, don't trust the experts. Trust, trust. Birch Gold. But I think another area we should not be trusting the experts on is all things related to energy. I would consider an actual expert. I'm sure not for the vernacular of the legacy media would be Dave Walsh, who I know you've been running around the state of Florida, the great state of Florida. I miss it talking to people. I'm sure a lot of War room posse members there. But there's some interesting developments going on with Florida and solar if you want to bring our audience up to speed.

Yeah, we have unbelievably in Florida with a red state government, we have Florida Power and Light has before the state Public Service Commission a rate increase application for $9 billion over the next four years to raise rates by across that time period about 40% to their ratepayers. The highest single rate increase ever applied for in the nation by a regulated public util in the country. Why is it so expensive? Because as I've been saying for three and a half years, four years, the cost of solar power is not free. It is not cheap, it is not average. It's four to five times the cost of conventional power when you factor in how little time it runs and how much land is needed for this. Denver has a little chart on it I sent along. It's in that slide deck. I don't know if I can throw it up, but it shows. Across the next 10 years, the three utilities here plan a filed plan with the Southeast Reliability Council. The left hand side of this you can see of 53 billion in capital spending planned by the utilities here the next 10 years. 45.3 billion, about 86% of it on solar and battery storage. This isn't about rooftop, this is utility scale solar farms that will consume 299,000 acres of Florida property. See the money involved 53 billion capital plan overall by the three utilities. So FPL have just plugged in for the first four years of their piece of this at 9 billion in rate hikes to pay for solar panels emanating from China, inverters emanating from China, battery storage emanating from China being the dominant dominant share of this. If you go to the right hand chart you can see the power that comes from this in yellow only being about a third of the pie. Meaning the little bit of combined cycle and gas fired being added in the next 10 years will equal the about equal the solar megawatt hours. But for 1:10 the money owing to the commentary that I've been providing how expensive this solar power and battery storage is. So you're seeing the effect in rates with this 9 billion rate increase that will drive up utility costs for Florida Power Light ratepayers by about 40% over a four year period. We have got to throw our bodies in front of it. For the ratepayers here in on the posse. This is submittal 202,511 that's the filing number with the PSE. 202,511 the rate case. Contact PSC state fl us. That's the clerk of the Florida PSC. Send, send the clerk your your feelings about the $9 billion entirely solar power driven rate increase that FPL is attempting to push forward at this point in time. Your state government right now is doing precious little to stand in the way of it unfortunately.

Dave Walsh as always thank you so much for coming on and I think having our audience be ahead of the curve on issues that actually impact them. I don't know but you guys I don't want to be reliant on on the PRC for power or weird green energy solar loving bureaucrats even in red states if people want to follow you. In the meantime before you back on with us. Where can they go to do that?

Israeli Military Official
Thank you sir. Enjoy Florida. I'm envious. In the meantime make sure you guys are checking out patriot mobile.com Bannon they have deals. I'm currently in D.C. they are having the big army 250 celebration. I was on the National Mall earlier today. I've seen all the helicopters and tanks and missile launchers. It's quite the display they're putting on. The city is full of National Guardsmen. I saw some, shall we say, shady looking Chinese people taking pictures of the military equipment, but I guess that's par for the course. I'm not surprised, but it's probably as good a day as ever to check out Patriot Mobile, celebrate, I guess the Army's 250th birthday and President Trump's birthday and Flag Day, a bunch of exciting things. That's patriotmobile.com Bannon I've been overhearing, like I was telling you guys, I'm in D.C. all the Capitol Hill liberals are planning their weekend getaways because they don't want to be in D.C. and experience the R250 parade. Or you have the other contingent that is participating in the no Kings protests. So I guess now Democrats aren't just taking the horrible optics of opposing secure borders, they're raiding ICE facilities, but now they're going to be actively protesting against the United States military. That is today's Democratic Party aided and abetted. I guess it used to be lawfare, it's still that, but now it's really the judges and judicial activism. And I think there's probably no person who is more of a threat to these rogue judges than the one and only Mike Davis. Mike, we played in the Cold Open, Gavin Newsom's bizarre speech, Jake Tapper and the CNN harpies celebrating just a ridiculous ruling saying that the National Guard in California, President Trump can't deploy them there or whatever. I want you to just walk just our audience through the absurdity, outright activism. I guess now they're not just content with being activists, they want to be the commander in chief. But of these radical judges.
- [39:30]
Political Analyst
Yeah.

Stephen K. Bannon
This is unbelievable. President Trump campaigned on the fact he's going to secure our border and deport illegal aliens, all of whom are criminals. And he's going to focus on the worst of the worst to start out trend Aragua, Ms. 13 and other vicious terrorists who are raping, kidnapping, torturing and murdering women and children in this country. And President Trump is doing exactly what he promised American voters he would do. He's doing these ICE raids and he's going into where these illegal aliens are the most concentrated, like la. And when President Trump did this, you had the LA Mayor Karen Bass and the California Governor Gavin Newsom refuse to cooperate. And they've actually gone beyond that they've gone beyond from refusing to cooperate to obstructing law enforcement. And they've created this dangerous environment where you had ICE agents getting attacked, bricks thrown at them, cars set on fire, vicious attacks by these illegal aliens, these foreign terrorists flying foreign flags, attacking American law enforcement. So President Trump did what he is required to do as Commander in chief. He sent in the military, he called up the California National Guard to protect these federal agents and to protect federal property. And that is absolutely not only within his power and duty as the Commander in Chief under Article 2, that's within his statutory duty under the United States Code. These, these military officials are not performing law enforcement duties. They are supporting federal law enforcement. They're protecting federal law enforcement, and they're protecting federal property. And so what does Gavin Newsom do? First of all, he forum shops. He doesn't bring a lawsuit in federal court in Los Angeles. He brings a lawsuit in federal court in San Francisco, where he knows it's more left wing. And he draws this 83 year old judge, this Clinton Judge, Charles Breyer, who's the 83 year old younger brother of Clinton Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. And there's Charles Breyer issues this lawless and dangerous ruling telling the President of the United States that he has to give up control of the military to Gavin Newsom, which is just, just absurd on its face. Gavin Newsom went out there and claimed victory because he's a clown, of course. And so then the Ninth Circuit, which President Trump transforms from Democrat domination to a little bit more even hand it, the President Trump won a big victory in the Ninth Circuit, where they stayed this Judge Breyer ruling in favor of Gavin Newsom and told the parties they have five days to brief this thing and have oral arguments. I think the 9th Circuit is going to side with President Trump as Commander in chief because that's what the Constitution requires. That's what federal statute requires.

I'm curious your thoughts on the legal ramifications that like the protesters themselves could face, how that investigation is going to also into the federal funding of a lot of these NGOs that help sort of spin up these demonstrations to begin with.
- [43:07]
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah, I think Congress needs to cut off funding to state and local governments that refuse to cooperate with ice. That's actually already the statute. So they just need to do it. And then with these NGOs, the Trump administration needs to cut off funding to these NGOs who are rioting. This is, it's amazing how these Democrats are going to hunt down every Trump supporter who Trespassed, walked through velvet ropes and took selfies on January 6. But they seem to want to give amnesty to the BLM rioters in 2020 and these vicious foreign terrorist rioters in 2025. I, I would say this, it's different this time because we don't have Bill Barr as the Attorney General. We don't have a weakling as Attorney General who's going to, who's going to be scared he's going to get impeached. We have a new sheriff in town that is Attorney General Pam Bondi. She's already sending out the FBI with Cash Patel. They're already making arrests, they're already prosecuting people. They have facial recognition software. So all these riders are going to face severe consequences. And if they're here on a visa, they're going to go home.

Israeli Military Official
I'm curious. We had a guest on the show yesterday who was talking about how a lot of these NGOs, beyond inciting these protests and probably helping import illegal aliens, although I will recant my use of the word protest, these violent riots, that part of their strategy is to also have, have what they call legal observers there to sort of try to get the police or the National Guard or whoever may be sort of, you know, a proxy of President Trump and then sue them. I don't know, criminally, civilly, or how so, but to sort of, you know, keep their hands tied in terms of what they can do to engage with these rioters. I'm curious your thoughts on that strategy.
- [45:03]
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, these police officers have qualified immunity. And I would say this, I think the Justice Department's already looking at the funding of these riots. This, if you want to talk about an insurrection, when you have, you have illegal aliens flying a foreign flag and attacking federal agents, attacking federal buildings, burning federal ice, police cars, going after state and local police, that sounds like an insurrection to me. But I'll tell you this, that this is, there are going to be severe consequences for this. Pam Bondi and Cash Patel will make damn sure that happens.
- [45:44]
Israeli Military Official
And last question before I let you go. Only because it's such an absurd realization that I think only you can make sense of it. But, I mean, I'm old enough to remember that it was what the Biden regime, I think the administrative state, really rededicating, making their raison d' etre, the idea of combating domestic terrorism, right to the point that they were sending FBI details in church parking lots and abortion parking lots, throwing thousands of MAGA gen Sixers in prison, all in the name of Curtailing what really can only be, I think probably most emblematically described or seen when you've probably watched on your TV of what's going on in Los Angeles. This is domestic terrorism. Except in this case, the federal funding is not going to suppress it. Obviously they're not using it in its realest application against maga. But they, but they're, if I'm not wrong, they're inciting it. They're funding. This is like a public private partnership to create protests.
- [46:41]
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah, we have, we need to look at criminal charges for inciting these riots, aiding and abetting, harboring illegal aliens, obstruction of federal law enforcement, conspiracy, maybe even seditious conspiracy and insurrection that Democrats tried to use against President Trump and his supporters. This is so much, this is so much more destructive to our country than January 6th. You have these illegal aliens, these foreign terrorists flying foreign flags, attacking federal officers, property, state and local. There are, there are going to be consequences for this and Pam Bondi and Cash Patel will make damn sure that happens.

Thank you, sir. Have a wonderful weekend. As wonderful as we can and during these times. Thank you so much for joining us, Warren Posse. Thank you for hanging with me. I think we should be telling all the LA rioters fafo. And I guess what they're gonna find out is all their shady, swampy NGOs that are funded not just to the tune of $10 million, increments of that, several increments, but that the overall percentage of these fake groups, whether it's Cherla, the seiu, all these horrible names that sound quite innocuous. Right. The open borders for all group. Oh, they just want a better life. Yeah. Okay, well, what they don't tell you when they say they want a better life, it's at the expense of yours, your children and your country's sovereignty. But these groups are funded like upwards of 90% overall by government grants. These are not. Frankly, I think it dovetails quite nicely with the framework of the color revolution. These are astroturfed sentiment. Sure, there's crazy people that they can always rile up and probably pay. We remember. I'm sure you guys do Indivisible, which is playing a very key role in the no Kings protest. Sort of an outgrowth of what's going on, not just in la, but particularly on President Trump's birthday against the military parade, but that this was the group that I believe I had exclusively exposed that they were reimbursing nationwide chapters for hosting town halls to try to oppose Republican members of Congress for supporting the Doge cuts. If only the Doge cuts were as dramatic and sweeping as Democrats and their paid for activists had wished for. But these groups are all working together now, right? It's not actually about the thing itself, but I think the other important takeaway from what's going on in la, frankly, it's why we needed ramifications, not just for what happened in 2008, but everything that happened with Iraq and Afghanistan, the neocons, their endless warmongering. When they get away with it, they do it again. And when they get away with pandemics like Anthony Fauci, they do it again. And now the same people who organized the invasion into this country to the tune of tens of millions of people, not just under Joe Biden, but historically, frankly, everybody who lobbied for, what was it, the post1964 immigration and naturalization act changes. I think those people should be in prison for what they've done to this country. But they faced no criminal charges for quite literally destroying the sovereignty of this country and importing people not just from Mexico, but from nations that are our sworn enemies. You've effectively sleeper cells of Chinese nationals. That sounds like a great advantage for us to have during tariff negotiations. Literal sleeper cells of fighting age Chinese men here in the United States, that we don't even know how many they are or where they are because the Biden regime changed the regulations and we were letting them in. So we no longer asked them if they had weapons training or were members of the prc. They rather the ccp. But all of this to say that the same people who organized that invasion will continue to fund and organize these riots. Not just the ones in la, but the ones that are going to be going on throughout this country. Because they keep getting away with it, right? If victory begets victory, then I guess, you know, invasion begets paid protest, begets paid protest, begets prayed protest. And that's how you end up with, I guess on Flag Day and celebrating the Army's 250th birthday, an entire onslaught of rabid, raging left wing radical who feel comfortable opposing the United States military. It's pretty disgusting if you ask me. But I guess if you don't think America is a country, then hey, I wonder why they hate Iran so much, right? They say death to America. That's basically what these people are saying too, although they probably describe America in worse terms. On that note, I do hope you guys have a wonderful weekend and a wonderful 250th birthday of America's our me. Have a good one. I'll see you soon.
