We want to hate the son of a.
- [03:48]
Caller or Guest with strong political opinions
So much that we can't see straight. Chuck Schumer is elected from New York. Bernie Sanders is elected from Vermont. They wanted the commander in chief to be elected by the entirety of the nation. And they're even talking about impeaching him if they take the House of Representatives. Ladies and gentlemen, we have an enemy within and it is the Democrat Party. Every reprobate, miscreant and malcontent is in that party. The Marxists and the Islamists are in that party. Do they act like they love the nation? Do they? When we have men and women in uniform, Democrats and Republicans and Independents, fighting an enemy, fighting terrorists. The greatest terror regime in American in world history. And we're winning. And that's why they're going nuts. We're winning. This is so spectacular what's taking place. And I want our troops to know something. These people who are trying to undermine you, they are a small percentage of the population. We red blooded Americans, we love victory and we love you. You are of us. And most of us have had relatives, if not ourselves in the military. Chuck Schumer means nothing to us. Hakeem Jeffries means nothing to us. You, Mr. And Mrs. America, we support our military We. We support our commander in chief. We support victory. This is a spectacular, spectacular military operation with our spectacular ally, the Israelis, with their spectacular prime minister. It's working. It's effective. It's spectacular. And these guys. We have to hurry back to Congress. We need to have a vote on the War Powers act of 1973. This would be the same party that dragged us into Vietnam, right? Was that a declared war? No, it wasn't.

Steve Bannon
I can't take anymore. I can't take any more. I will let the audience decide. Carvel has lost it, though. Levin lost it a long time ago, but Carvel is having. That's gotta be a nervous breakdown, right? On national television. But you see a Trump derangement, how much they hate him. Capafell is gonna stick around. I got Caroline Wren here on some very important politics when he said too. But, Rabbi. Well, look, first off, just on the battle side, Tel Aviv hit last night, but correct me if I'm wrong, the center of gravity for the Israelis, obviously, is the Persians. But now you're going after the proxies. I thought Hezbollah was dealt with, but now it looks like Lebanon. Beirut, there's an evacuation. Lebanon, maybe even parts of Syria. Rabbi.
- [06:30]
Rabbi Wolicki
Well, I mean, the Lebanon situation has been an open sore since the official ceasefire. And I say official ceasefire because it hasn' really been much of a ceasefire. That was struck over a year ago, and the Lebanese government had committed itself to disarming Hezbollah by the end of 2025. And of course, they did nothing about it. Not because they didn't want to, but they're actually incapable of disarming Hezbollah. Hezbollah is a much stronger army, even in its weakened state, than the Lebanese army itself. And there's also this Shiite population that would have resisted. But now that Hezbollah made the tragic mistake, a mistake, frankly, I'll be perfectly frank. The Israelis were hoping they would make of firing missiles at Israel in support of the Iranian regime. They just invited the Israelis in to finish the job and disarm Hezbollah themselves. So that's what the Israelis are doing now. They're going in there and the Lebanese are playing this funny game where they're no longer complaining about Israeli airstrikes as they used to. It used to be when Hezbollah would attack Israel, Israel would attack Hezbollah positions, and then the Lebanese government would make noises about being upset about Israel attacking. And now that's not happening. You actually have even Shiites in the population, even the Amal Party, which is a Shiite party that for decades has been the partner in the government with Hezbollah, which also functions as a political party. Amal voted to declare Hezbollah illegal the other day. So Hezbollah is now isolated in Lebanon. Israel's going in to finish them off. And I'll also say on a personal note, my son who's. Who's a commander in the infantry in the Givati Brigade, told me that he's actually entering Lebanon any day now.
- [08:20]
Steve Bannon
Was that. Is this part of the Greater Israel project? Is this part of the Greater Israel project or Israel smiting? Are they smiting all their. They're smiting all their.
- [08:31]
Rabbi Wolicki
Israel has no interest in any territory.
- [08:33]
Steve Bannon
Hang on. Hang.
- [08:35]
Rabbi Wolicki
It's so.
- [08:36]
Steve Bannon
Hang on. By the way. By the way, you did the best.
- [08:39]
Rabbi Wolicki
I know. There was an essay written a few
- [08:41]
Steve Bannon
decades ago, actually put up everyone.
- [08:42]
Rabbi Wolicki
Still, you guys love talking about. It has nothing to do with Israeli policy.
- [08:48]
Steve Bannon
We'll talk about Israeli policy now because the id, The Israeli Air Force delivered a hammer blow the other night to the command structure. And it looks like they are focused on the command structure maybe more than the Americans. It looks like ours. With Captain Fennell's degradation of the ability to actually fight either force projection on their people or force projection on their neighbors. You're still. It looks like the Israeli Air Force still very focused on leadership decapitation. But this war is expanding not just in the Gulf with Persian versus Arab. It's also expanding in Syria and Lebanon and other areas, maybe even with the Kurds,
- [09:28]
Rabbi Wolicki
I mean, a little bit into Syria. The Syrians themselves aren't. I mean, we're not going to. We're not going to be butting up against Ashara or anything like that. But you do have. The issue with the Kurds in Iraq is a sticky one. I don't see Israel right now being involved in that, although they did bomb a few Iranian IRGC bases on the Iranian side of the Iraq Iran border trying to set the stage for a Kurdish incursion. But there's no agreement between the Iranian Kurdish groups and the Iraqi Kurdish groups who are both in Iraq. If that's confusing, sorry. That's the way it is. The Iranian Kurdish groups are based in Iraq, but they don't get along with the Iraqi Kurdish groups who are more aligned with the Iranian regime and Turkey. This can get a little confusing, but the key arena that Israel is focusing in besides Iran is Lebanon. Lebanon is on our northern border. Steve, let's pull back the camera. Israel's doctrine of defense changed after October 7th, and it is no longer based on an evaluation. I've said this on your show before. It's no longer based on an evaluation of our enemies intentions. And are they deterred? Are they not deterred? Can we make an agreement with them? Can we, can we appease them with some economic deal with the West? It's no longer based on that. It's simply based on an evaluation of capabilities. And when there are regimes or groups that pledge openly that their goal is the destruction of Israel and the genocide of the Jewish people, as the Iranian regime does, as Hamas does, as Hezbollah does, so long as they have any capabilities to harm Israel, we will deal with those capabilities. And you know, I was listening to Sam Faddis before and he's absolutely right. The Israelis goal is to eliminate the threat. And the bottom line is if you allow your country to be taken over by insane people who do crazy reckless things, then Fafo unfortunately there is a price to pay. And I'm with you on the Iranian people. I'd love to see a healthy regime change. But whatever comes after this regime, no matter how chaotic it is from Israel's perspective, is not going to be as dangerous as the regime itself. And therefore Israel is going to protect itself and it's going to look after its own interests. Do we want a regime that's more peaceful with us and that is stable? Yeah, sure, it'll be better for everybody. But top of the agenda for Israel is simply eliminating threats wherever they may be. And the threat from Lebanon with Hezbollah, it's been festering too long. The Lebanese government has not been willing to do anything about it. So Israel stepping in and doing something and it seems that the Lebanese are actually in favor of Israel dealing with the problem once and for all, even though they're not being too vocal about it. But that's the signals that we're getting.
- [12:13]
Steve Bannon
But just, just, just so we can be realist though in, in a lot of the Levin you see all this propaganda coming out that we want a free and democratic Iran and Persia.
- [12:24]
Rabbi Wolicki
I couldn't.
- [12:25]
Steve Bannon
President Trump continues to talk about the happy ending that is like World War II when we rebuilt Germany and supposedly denazified and we, we took out Imperial Japan, although we didn't make any changes structurally. The same people that ran Japan in 1939 were essentially the same people that ran Japan in 1946. The samurai families that run the trading companies, they ran it. They put a little phony thing on, a constitution and all that, but they ran it. So we didn't really make fundamental changes in either nation. But it was on the surface a happy ending. Well here and I think Sam said It, I, I don't, I don't care if we have, I don't care if we have. I don't care if, if Persia and Iran go into a 30 year hellhole, I could care less. They brought the Islamic Republic on. We had the Shah and maybe didn't get there. Maybe he wasn't democratically elected, but the country had a thriving middle class or at least was trying to do that. Obviously it was very Western and that seems like it didn't assimilate into Persian culture. But these people and their parents and grandparents brought it on. They're going to have to. And I would have loved to had a situation where just economically with Scott Bessant, who was destroying their currency and destroying the economy. And now we know. And this is the hidden game that nobody talks about. We never went to what UAE threatened the other day in Dubai, which was to cut off the money. All the Persians cash is not really in Switzerland, it's all in Dubai. And this is one of the reasons the sanctions have never been 100%. People say, well, how can you have these sanctions? They don't really work because the Arabs, they're playing double games all the time. And that's why when UAE threatened to cut off their money from Dubai, next thing you know, Dubai's getting lit up. You know, Dubai is kind of like Tortuga was for the Caribbean pirates that went against the British Empire back, you know, and that's what Dubai is, it's a pirate cove. And now you're getting down to it where you're starting to take their assets, take all their cash and just throttle them down. But I don't care. They brought it on themselves. If they're a hellhole for 50 years, they're a hellhole for 50 years. I don't see. And if we spend one penny in Ukraine or here reconstructing it and not that penny in East Palestine, East Palestine, Ohio, to me that's a crime. Rabbi, we'll look at your thoughts, sir.
- [14:47]
Rabbi Wolicki
Well, my thoughts. You said something really interesting just before when you were talking about how in the Japanese regime after World War II, it ended up being run by a lot of the same people who were running it before. And you said there was no real significant change, but there was. And it connects directly to what President Trump just said, that he wants unconditional surrender. Because the major change that happened, even though Japan was run by the same people, is that they dropped the genocidal imperialist ideology that led them to slaughter so many people in the Far East. And create the Second World War in the Pacific theater. And look at Nazi Germany. Nazi Germany also unconditional surrender led to them becoming a fairly benign state that dropped the genocidal ideology in January 1943. At Casablanca is where Roosevelt first said that peace can only come to the world by the total elimination of the Japanese, German and Italian war power, which means the unconditional surrender of Germany, Italy and Japan. He used that term then. And there's a direct causal relationship between the unconditional surrender and the breaking of those genocidal ideologies. And this connects with what you were saying before about Mamdani in New York. Islam is on the rise. Europe has fallen. We know that these guys are playing for keeps. And the only way to push back is if there's actually some sort of defeat. Now what happens after the defeat, how much chaos there is and how much of a mess there is to clean up. That is for them to sort out. But it is the I believe it's the moral responsibility of people who are good to deliver a defeat to those who are evil. Roosevelt understood that and it worked. Imperial. Yeah, Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany cease to be evil regimes now. And and Iran, one way or another,
- [16:31]
Steve Bannon
I would
- [16:34]
Rabbi Wolicki
mindset will also will also cease to be an evil regime.
- [16:38]
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah.
- [16:40]
Steve Bannon
So no off ramp by Tuesday. I would also submit that that should be Israel's moral high ground to the West. Not our fight. Just not. We're in it though. We're in it. And there's no off ramp on Tuesday. Short break.
- [16:58]
Stephen K. Bannon
Back in a moment.

She was very. It was like the height of Alanis time and she was with this beautiful man and I had a golden retriever puppy and the beautiful man wanted to say hi to the golden retriever puppy. We were eating at that little cafe there at the Santa Monica one and Alanis hung back in a way that made me wonder what was happening. Like who wouldn't want to pet this beautiful puppy. I was like oh my God, it's Alanis. And then I was like, try to breathe, try to breathe, try to breathe because I love her so much.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

Steve Bannon
Birchgold.com promo code abandoned end of the dollar empire. You can get the hard copy the Patriots edition if you so want. You can also talk to Philip Patrick and the team about the ownership of physical gold, particularly as a hedge against times of geopolitical and financial market turbulence. And the commodities markets are going to be turbulent next couple of weeks. Jim Fennell is going to talk about Straits or Hormuz momentarily and maybe even the insurance. Mark Poso is going to come in too, another naval intelligence officer. But talk to Philip Patriot and team. Do it today. The eighth free installment on the online version is coming out just in a matter of weeks, so we'll get all that. Make sure you talk to Philip Patrick and that's what we do. We give you access to the top folks over there. Take use of it. Rabbi Wolicki, I understand you have a big piece coming at the Jerusalem Post that's gonna walk through. Plus you're making your maiden voyage on FOX today. We make stars here at the War Room. We pride ourselves in providing a platform that makes future stars. You're about to start turning, but your piece in the Jerusalem Post is you've been talking to me, been working on this for a while. It's quite interesting. And this is why I think as much as you know, in the audience and everything, and we're trying to present all sides here so people can make decisions for themselves. Because this ain't going away on Tuesday, folks. It's just not. We'd love it to, but it's not. So your piece is about regime change and how there's seven or eight versions of this, but you don't think any of them are going to turn out to be great. Is that my understanding of the Jerusalem Post column?
- [21:23]
Rabbi Wolicki
Well, let's start with the last line of the piece, which is that no matter what comes after this, nothing will be as bad as the regime that has been there for the last 47 years. I don't care what comes after it. Nothing will be as bad. But President Trump the other day indicated that he prefers a Venezuela option, which is a kind of take out the top people and keep the, the bureaucrats and the structure in place so that you can prevent chaos. And there's a lot of merits to that. There's also downsides in the piece. I walk through what that might look like and what the pros and cons are or sectarian violence. There was rumors about the Americans arming and assisting the Kurds, the Israelis also. And if the Kurds come in there, that's going to disrupt things. And then you have mec. You have all sorts of different factors here. So I walk through the different options for what regime change could look like, and basically none of them are very good. In addition, you know, you mentioned my being on Fox tonight, Steve, I think what you're implying is that War Room is the farm team for Fox. I don't know if that's going to sit so well with the posse, but yeah, I am going to be on there. So if any of you ever deign to watch Fox on the big weekend show at 7pm tonight, I'm going to be appearing somewhere in there. That's what they tell me. And I've also been on, I've been featured in a docu series they've been running on Fox Nation about King David for the last few weeks. So, yeah, my maiden voyage on Fox is coming and I know you have some other guests waiting. I'm just going to give my coordinates and sign off. Steve, I really appreciate, you know, you just mentioned that I'm warming we try to give all sides and I tell people all the time in my community that only on Steve Bannon's war room does everyone get a say and my voice is heard. Then you have the people on the other side and you're really giving your audience a full picture of the different approaches to the this, you know, to this situation. And, and that's what the war room is all about. And I'm honored to be a part of it.
- [23:19]
Steve Bannon
That's what we're trying to.
- [23:19]
Rabbi Wolicki
All right, so you can follow where do they go? You can go to our Israel365News YouTube channel, my own personal YouTube channel, and of course, israel365action.com and there you could sign up for our newsletter, Stay informed about what's going on in the Middle east and with Israel and, and thank you again, Steve.
- [23:40]
Steve Bannon
Thank you, sir. Appreciate you. Good luck tonight. Captain Fennell, you're essentially a naval intelligence strategic, but you also did targeting for decades Straits or Hormuz navy combatants, destroyers to clean it out to escort these ships. Your thoughts?
- [24:01]
Captain Jim Fennell
Yes, Steve, I'd like to say that, you know, if we look back and there's been a lot of folks that said that, you know, the Iranian is insider, observe, Orient, decide and act Ooda loop. And I would say that that has been clearly destroyed this last week. And we're really inside and driving the tempo and the scale of operations. And then when it comes to the Strait of Hormuz and the movement of the Ford down into the North Arabian Sea, we should look back to the period from 1981 to 1987, what was called the Tanker Wars. And and in that first year in 1981, Iraq and Iran attacked five ships. Seven years later in 1987, the Iran and Iraq both combined attack 451 ships. So it was an escalation over seven years. In that time period, we were able to escort ships and successfully keep the strait open. And we had never attacked the mainland of Iran, the main country of Iran. Now we're in a situation completely opposite where we have gone in and decimated their coastal defense cruise missile sites, their navy, their submarines, their radars, their command and control. And we're now contemplating bringing our ships in to do escorting along with this development finance corporation that the President offered up to provide reinsurance for the 12 PNI clubs that provide the shipping industry the insurance in the Strait of Hormuz. And so if you look at the chart, I gave Brand Cameron a chart that you could, if they can pull it up, that shows that when the war started on the 28th, there were about 100 ships that transited the Strait of Hormuz. The next day, that went down to 18. And then by the now on the 6th, the latest data that we have from the UK, there's about a total of four ships of cargo vessels and tankers, another couple. So it's starting to increase. The dark fleet from Iran is still running. Iran's Kharg island, which is their main place to load up and fuel up their ships is still functional, still whole. And there are Iranian ships there. And The Iranians have 38 VLCC, Very Large Crude oil containers ships. And so those ships are vulnerable to being seized or sunk. And so we'll see what happens. But it looks like the Iranians know that for them to get money, not only does the UAE have to keep their assets unfrozen, they also have to keep providing oil to China so that China can keep pumping money to them. And so I think right now we're at a point where we're going to start seeing in this next week, like we've seen with the rollback of the iads, the integrated air defense systems, and the rollback of the missile, missile launchers in the open, we're going to start seeing a movement towards having ships go through the strait. And one Greek company called Dynacom has already, you know, said, we're going to start sending ships through there, and they're sending through one or two at a time. And I expect that to increase, which will put a new dynamic on this. And so I think we are driving the Ooda loop, not the Iranians. I think their responses are erratic sometimes, time, sometimes obviously very lethal. But as this news tightens, they're going to be less able to use their military, which is why the President and Rabbi Willicki reinforced that unconditional surrender can only come when you take the gun out of the Iranian regime's hand. And that's what we're about, and that's what we're doing. And oh, by the way, I lived in Japan several years and hundreds of years of Bushido was transformed. So it is possible it's just not going to be a carbon copy of World War II to that degree we'll have.
- [27:46]
Steve Bannon
I want, I want to have that discussion with you later on air. It's a fascinating topic. Captain Fidel, once again, thanks for taking your time away from your day to join us. Magnificent work. Appreciate you, sir.
- [27:58]
Captain Jim Fennell
Thanks, Dean. And I would not call this America's war or Israel's work. I would call this the free world's war. And there's an article out today talking about that.
- [28:09]
Steve Bannon
Okay, we'll push that. Just get that to me. Jack Posoba, give me the strategic view first, then we'll get down to the tactical. Your thoughts, sir?
- [28:18]
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, Steve, you know, we're looking at what Iran's up to and ultimately the situation is this. You know, I remember hearing early on in the Ukraine war a lot of analysis saying Russia's remember this, Russia's about to run out of munitions. Russia's about to run out of missiles. Remember we heard that in the first couple of days, the first couple of weeks, Russia's broken. And here we are. It's now been four years since Russia launched their invasion of Ukraine and they've continued and in some ways they've actually ramped up their production capabilities. And when I see what Iran's doing, you, you really have to look at similar strategy because what they're doing in a sense is a move to asymmetric warfare and attrition warfare through the saturation attacks based on predominantly on the ballistic missile force, which they have these underground bunkers, the underground launchers, and then also their incredible saturation offense capabilities in terms of drones. And when I mean the drones are incredible, I don't mean that they're very special at all. They're in fact dumbfire drones, These one way drones, FPVs, which some people refer to them as. And what you're looking at here is a cheap drone, a very cheap drone, $30,000, $25,000 and Brett Velikovich over the the Drone Warrior. You got to go and follow the work that he's done on this, talking about how these cheap weapons are designed to go up in favorable dollar for dollar exchanges against an air interceptor missile, which might be where might be $10 million, $15 million, $20 million. So the goal over time isn't necessarily for them to defeat your air defense in terms of shooting it down or destroying your Patriot that missile batteries. They certainly intend to. But the goal of course is to attrite your ability to make war over the course of expending millions and millions of dollars while they're putting up cheap drones over and over and that's what we see them moving to again and again. Also this tit for tat exchanges, of course, the desalination plants. I saw Sam Fadis was talking about that. That's going to go up very quickly. And of course, what are we also seeing these now? Now the Iranian president came out and said that he didn't take credit for it, but potential strikes on the oil pipelines up in Azerbaijan down to Baku, over to Turkey. What, what do those oil pipelines feed? Oh, that's right. Israel. They feed the war, the, the war machine in Israel, the idf. That is their lifeline in terms of oil. They're not getting it from the Arab states.

That's what they're trying Saudis they're getting it from. They're trying to hit, they're trying to hit Haifa too.

Stephen K. Bannon
Well then Haifa is where they were.
- [31:03]
Rabbi Wolicki
Yeah.

Stephen K. Bannon
So they ship it down out of Turkey and then it arrives at Haifa. So that's why they're trying to hit Israel's ability to make war as well.

Hi, it's Kristen Davis from Are youe a Charlotte Podcast. I just had the most epic girls day cruising around LA with my friend Heather Graham. And thanks to Hyundai, we even recorded a special episode for you. Yes, I have a good 90s story of Fred Siegel.

Stephen K. Bannon
What?

Kristen Davis
I saw Alanis Morris at there one time. It was so exciting. I was with my girlfriend Melanie.

Caroline Wren
She saw you, so that's like good.
- [32:58]
Kristen Davis
She was very, it was like the height of Alanis time and she was with this beautiful man and I had a golden retriever puppy and the beautiful man wanted to say hi to the golden retriever puppy. We were eating at that little cafe there at the Santa Monica one and Alanis hung back in a way that made me wonder what was happening. Like who wouldn't want to pet this beautiful puppy. I was like, oh my God, it's Alanis. And then I was like, try to breathe, try to breathe, try to breathe because I love her so much. My new episode is out now, presented by the all new Hyundai Palisade hybrid. Make every day epic.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

Steve Bannon
Okay, we've got geostrategic things we have to get to in a moment. Posto is going to stick around. Get Brandon Weicker. Dr. Thayer. Financial Times is reporting the Chinese Communist Party actually made a statement yesterday they want the meeting with President Trump in April, which I think is pretty stunning because they've actually been, I think cucked this entire time. So it's quite fascinating what's happening here and get some of our top experts to jump into this in the war as it progressives. I want to turn now, though, to an important matter at hand. This is the situation on the runoff in the state of Texas. Caroline Wren joins us. Caroline, you've been at the tip of the tip of the spear. Ewan Boyle and a couple of others of driving this narrative about John Cornyn has never supported maga. In fact, he's been vehemently anti Maga and he's been vehemently anti President Trump since President Trump came on the scene. But he's been a do nothing Bush ite for his entire career and that's why he has nothing positive to talk about. Ma', am, the floor is yours.
- [34:46]
Caroline Wren
That is true. And I just think the Texas Senate race is by far the most important race of the cycle. And all eyes right now are on President Trump to see who he endorses. And look, I understand it is very rare for a sitting president to endorse against an incumbent senator in his party. Now, President Trump rightfully endorsed a primary challenger to Senator Bill Cassidy, who deserved it. He voted to impeach Trump. But I would actually argue that Cornyn is much worse than Senator Cassidy for every controversial decision President Trump has made. And of course, by controversial, I mean something that Morning Joe and Mika don't like. But for every, I guess, controversial decision, there is a statement from John Cornyn criticizing President Trump about it. And you know, we knew Cornyn was bad, but the barrage of oppo that has dropped on him over the last 72 hours exposing Cornyn's record, I am in shock just how bad it is. I decided to get out my copy of Government Gangsters here by Cash Patel. In this book, Cash Patel lists out, there's an index of names of the worst and most corrupt deep state actors. And I went through the list of names, index name by name and just search that person's name. And then John Cornyn's statement. Literally, without fail, John Cornyn has defended every single bad actor listed in this book. I mean, like, it is amazing to me that he goes out of his way. When Trump criticized Gina Haspel, for example, Cornyn went on television and said she was doing a fantastic job. And when Trump fired Mark Esper, Cornyn went on TV and called it unhelpful and unnecessary. When Trump criticized Dr. Fauci for refusing to open schools and businesses, John Cornyn called Fauci a national treasurer. When Biden nominated notorious Russiagate hoax co conspirator Lisa Monaco for deputy ag, Cornyn took to the Senate floor to give a full throated glowing endorsement for her nomination. When Trump wanted to fire Robert Mueller, Cornyn defended Mueller's honor, saying it would be a huge mistake for Trump to fire him. When Trump fired James Comey, Cornyn went on TV and called it a troubling and terrible decision. Cornyn, I mean, repeatedly praised and slobbered over James Comey, calling him a good and decent man. Quick reminder, James Comey called for the assassination of President Trump. When the sham E. Jean Carroll verdict came out, Cornyn ran to MSNBC to say that because of this verdict, Donald Trump was unelectable and shouldn't run again. When Alvin Bragg was indicting Trump, John Cornyn defended Bragg and said the process was necessary and needed to play out. Regarding January 6th, John Cornyn compared it to 9 11, then called the J6 attendees, quote, white supremacists, domestic terrorists, insurrectionists, rioters, seditionists and anarchists. He then asked then FBI director Chris Wray if a new law was needed to charge the J6 attendees with domestic terrorism. And when the Senate tried to impeach Donald Trump for a second time, Cornyn's only complaint was that the impeachment process was actually holding up them and delaying Biden being able to get his Cabinet nominees confirmed. And I could go on and on with these state. I was just going through this book, Googling John Cornyn's statement on that person. And without fair. He has defended each one of these deep state actors. And, you know, these could, like, maybe be defensible statements, a few of them. If you're Susan Collins and you represent a state like Maine, that's a purple or blue state. John Cornyn represents Ruby Red Texas. No, I mean, this is.
- [38:07]
Steve Bannon
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. This is why this is. This is. It's not just Texas. This is why it's unforgivable. You could have been quiet or you could have said something in passive. This is a pattern recognition. He is adamantly a defender of the deep state. He despises President Trump. He detests maga. The biggest mistake we can make is allowing this guy, untethered with a reelection to do. He did this understanding. Now, here's what he bet. He bet that MAGA was finished. He bet that Trump would never come back. And what he wanted to do was to do whatever it was in his power to do to bury it deeper. Go back to January 21st, when they ran President Trump out of Washington, D.C. essentially into exile into Mar a Lago. That was a defining moment. John Cornyn not just try to do what a politician does. He was a strong advocate of the deep state for the total destruction of MAGA and Donald J. Trump. There is in no circumstance and anybody that works for him or put money in or supports him is against MAGA and against the interest of President Trump and the people that are showing him phony polling. This is my point, Caroline. I spent five weeks down here now and met all the grassroots. There is a significant element of the grassroots in Texas and in MAGA that under no circumstances will vote for John Cornyn. If John Cornyn is the nominee in November, he will lose. He will lose significantly because there is a core that. See what you're talking about. And it stuns me that the Paxton campaign didn't have this out, but I know you're going to put it out in a systematic. John Cornyn did it systematically to defend the deep state against the American people, against MAGA and against President Trump. And now people that are anti John Cornyn and pro Paxton and pro MAGA and pro President Trump are going to start putting this out. He'll be swamped with this stuff. This is not gonna go away because these weren't just passing comments. There's a pattern here that he took upon himself even more than Lindsey Graham or Mitch McConnell. He took upon himself as part of that leadership team to lead the fight against MAGA and to lead the fight against President Trump. Ma'.
- [40:27]
Stephen K. Bannon
Am.
- [40:29]
Caroline Wren
He absolutely did. I think he's much worse than those others that you just said. And, you know, you're right. Like a lot of these other senators probably privately feel this way. These kind of dinosaurs have been in there forever, but they're at least somewhat politically savvy. Cornyn went out of his way every single time to run to his best friends on MSNBC and criticize Donald Trump. And the Corny campaign keeps using this line of, oh, he voted 99% of the time with Donald Trump. Okay, whatever. What does that even mean? That is not the point here that we are trying to make. And they all crap. You can make up those type of statistics and say they all vote together. But, I mean, there were massive investigations coming out of the Judiciary Committee, of which he's been a long term, very senior ranking member on, and there are so many questions about Russiagate. These other. He didn't do anything. He didn't fight to stop any of this. In fact, he was probably encouraging it. I mean, he was behind a lot of this stuff and championing these same people that have just targeted Donald Trump over and over again. And then after the other thing that's driving me crazy about this is I just think back to that time and especially around in 2020 when they took the election from us. You had Ken Paxton out there authoring amicus brief supporting President Trump. On January 6th, Ken Paxton was on stage with Donald Trump at the White House ellipse saying, this is outrageous. They stole the election from Donald Trump while John Cornyn was calling us all domestic terrorists and trying to figure out a way to conspire to get us all charged and locked up in jail for the rest of our lives. How could this be even a decision that's happening? But you mentioned earlier, I mean, the problem is that the folks around President Trump advising him, they want Corny. I don't know why, but they do. And so President Trump is the busiest man in the world right now. He's our commander in chief, and we are at war. And so we're out yelling these things, posting these clips Listen, that doesn't mean
- [42:17]
Steve Bannon
it's getting to us, but this is the Bush opera. This is Bush versus Trump. The reason they're pushing corn and is because they hate Paxton. Why they hate Paxton because of Breitbart. We were there. Ken Paxton destroyed the last remnant of the Bush dynasty when he took the goofballed dumb as a brick grandson who ran against him and beat him by 20 points. And we had a runoff and he beat him by more points. Then that was the whole, the whole collection of people around Trump were all Bushies. They're all involved in that. Don't think we haven't had long odds with Ken Paxton before. Okay? This is something that the Caroline Rens and the Steve Bannon's and the Matt Boyles, we didn't show up to this party last night. We've been fighting this for almost a decade now. And this is why Paxton, Paxton is symbolic and he's made in those days, in those days of the, of the inaugural phony inauguration of an illegitimate regime that stole the 2020 election and destroyed this country with allowing in 15 to 20 million illegal alien invaders and destroyed us financially that we're still digging ourselves out of. Ken Paxton is glazing Biden and welcoming Biden and approving Lisa Monaco. She's. That's inside baseball. She was the demon that set the whole thing up over at doj. Merrick Garland, some figurehead. And he's glazing her, he's glazing foushee, he's glazing esper. This is the core of the deep state that was against people. And at that time, Ken Paxton comes in and he's the first ag. Folks go back in time. We had no other defenses. President Trump was a lion and winner. Down in Mar a Lago, we had Ken Paxton. A third of the war room audience was so depressed, they left. We had, I said, we got a rally. Victory begets victory. Victory begets victory. And we're going to come back. In the darkest days of 20 January and 21 January, 2021, I said, we are going to return bigger than ever with Trump. And people said, you're a madman. You're a nutcase. Ago. No. And you know who believed it and you know who stood in the breach and delivered was Ken Paxton. We would never have had the victory in 2024, ever. And the people around, and this is why Don Jr and the smart folks over there and the good folks over there came to Paxton's defense the other day. We there would be no. 2024 if it had not been for warriors like Ken Paxton that bet it all. The odds against us. Carolina, as you remember that time, were so long. And that's what. And that's when you see the definition of heroes, when they know the odds are long and they go, I don't care. It's because it's the right thing to do. Ken Paxton has flaws. He ain't perfect. Donald Trump's got flaws. He ain't perfect. Caroline Ren, Steve Bannon got flaws. They ain't perfect, but they're in this fight. And Ken Paxton's been in his fight in the darkest and toughest days. Ma', am,
- [45:10]
Caroline Wren
that is so true. And the other reason we have to talk about that, why does Washington, D.C. hate Paxton so much? It's for all the reasons you just listed. But there's another big, glaring reason, and this is someone I worked with, the Republican Attorney General's Association. The number one donors are corporations, and Paxton pretty much couldn't even come to raga meetings. The corporations, the corporate donors and lobbyists would boycott it because Ken Paxton cannot be bought. He was the most aggressive AG in this country, bar none. He does not care. He would sue Amazon, Apple, any of these bad actors and corporations coming after him. And that's why these corporations and the D.C. lobbyists, they hate him. They fear him. They do not want him there. Cornyn. They know they can just give their $5,000 pack check and get endless bills through that they want done. I mean, Ken Paxton is truly their worst nightmare to come up there and do it. He was the worst nightmare, even at a raga conference. And that, to me, is when I fell in love with Ken Paxton and was like, this was before watching what he did after the 2020 stolen election. It was watching him go up against the corporate lobbyist and say, I could care less about your cocktail parties. I don't need to be there. I don't want to be invited. I'm doing what is right for we the people. And in Texas. And there's no lobbying my office. And that amazing right there is why they cannot have him.

Steve Bannon
Caroline, your social media. You've been the tip. You and Boyle are driving this. Where do people go to follow you, ma'?
- [46:40]
Stephen K. Bannon
Am?
- [46:41]
Caroline Wren
It's at Caroline Wren on X and True Social and get her.
- [46:47]
Steve Bannon
Okay, folks, let me tell you, this is a fluid situation. You got to get in with Caroline, and what we need today is force multipliers. You got to take the content that's being put up, and you got to Be afraid, sports multiplier. This is a long way from resolved, but it could happen at any moment. So this is why it's a very fluid situation. Am I correct in that, Caroline?
- [47:07]
Caroline Wren
It is a very fluid situation, I would say. I thought that the Cornyn endorsement was a done deal. I mean, Alex Eisenstadt, who's probably one of the best sourced reporters with the White House, he reported three days ago that Donald Trump has made his decision. The Atlantic reported it too, which I was a little more skeptical. But, I mean, I think that the Cornyn endorsement, I have to be honest with your audience. I think it's still sitting on his desk. If I were a betting person, I'd say that he comes out and endorses Cornyn, which is just, you know, would be a terrible decision. But at the same time, you know, the President's gonna do what he's gonna do. But I'm not gonna just lay down right now. Right now is the time to fight and to get everyone to speak up. Everyone I know and talk to is for Paxton. And so it is so important. I'm just telling people right now, please be loud. If you have President Trump's cell phone number, please text him and make sure he knows that you support Paxton. Please let him know why, call him, go meet with him, try and get in front of him here, because his endorsement does matter. Could Paxton still pull it off? Maybe. But Donald Trump has the most important endorsement that I've ever seen in politics. And so it matters. And I hope that we're able to reverse it.
- [48:13]
Steve Bannon
Big. Okay. Today also, we'll get this clip and make sure this thing goes viral. So, Caroline, thank you. Appreciate you coming on Changer Sunday. We've got some time constraints, but I want to appreciate RAV has. Has let us blow our brakes here. Jack Posobic, first off, your thoughts on the Paxton situation. Jack, I know you're involved. And also, then give me your. Your geostrategic assessment here in a couple of minutes before we bounce.
- [48:40]
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, Steve, what's. What's interesting here is that we were told out of D.C. and we saw a post from the president's account on Truth Social that it looked like an endorsement was forthcoming, probably about the midpoint or late last week. That endorsement has not occurred yet. We have not seen that. And it seems that Paxton's move, which was just an incredibly brilliant move, I don't know who possibly could have been down there in Texas advising on the campaign for. For moves such as this. My, you know, my. I can only speculate really as to which, which War Room leaders may have been there. But this move regarding the SAVE act really seems to have changed the entire conversation and the entire frame of the endorsement, making the entire thing hinge on the SAVE act. Because essentially what this is has been, and I'm just going to say it, it was a bluff. It was a bluff because Senate GOP leadership, Steve, they have not put the SAVE act on the fast track the way that they should have. Senate GOP leadership, what have they spent this time, their time doing this week? Steve, they spent their time this week, the Senate GOP leadership want to remind you, and this is going viral because I called it out on, on Twitter this week. They spent their week putting up a plaque for January six up in the United States Capitol, one that the House rejected, by the way, for the defenders of democracy on January6. That's what the Senate GOP leadership spent their week on. Where was Ken Paxton on January six? Oh, that's right. He was standing with President Trump and the MAGA faithful who wanted an honest adjudication of the 2020 election. Just like War Room and all of us associated all along have always called for. That's where Ken Paxton was. So look, when, when you look at John Cornyn, I would say his candidacy is in real trouble with whether or not he gets an endorsement or a cleared primary and all of these things. The MAGA faithful, I just don't think, Steve, that they are going to come out in a November election, in a general election for him. This could potentially lead to James Talarico entering the United States Senate from Texas, which is a state that has not elected a Democratic worldwide since the days of lbj.
- [50:59]
Steve Bannon
And plus, he's a. We're going to get into the plaque weirdo. All of it. Tomorrow, Jack. I got to bounce. That was brilliant. Give me just two minutes because I got to go. Unconditional surrender. The foreign minister. I think so. I'll meet the press. Iranian foreign minister. Unconditional surrender. President Trump says that means inability to project power on their own people. Your thoughts, sir? I take it, Jack, you agree with me. There's no off ramp on Tuesday.
- [51:24]
Stephen K. Bannon
I mean, look, I would not count anything out beyond President Trump. He is the dealmaker in chief. He's the greatest dealmaker that we've seen in American history since Ben Franklin got the French in on behalf of the Revolutionary War. He's the greatest dealmakers since then. Or, or when, when John Adams was over working with the, working with the Dutch to finance the whole thing. So you know, greatest, greatest dealmaker since the revolutionary generation. I wouldn't put anything past President Trump. That said both sides are digging in. You got Israel up this weekend and they are pounding Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon. You've seen over 100,000 people have already fled southern Lebanon. The suburbs of Beirut are turning into a great ghost town. I mean, you look at some of the footage that's coming out of there. And the reason that they're not taking civilian casualties, you know, in these, in these apartment blocks and others, is that they're. The people have fled. So you're, you've already got a humanitarian crisis there. You've got people fleeing areas of central Tehran which are getting hit, lit up. You, of course, all the oil fields and the oil supplies lit up in Tehran last night looked like the, looked like the fuel burnings out of, out of Iraq and Kuwait in 1991. So going back to the original Gulf War, some of those striking images that came out and then as well, you do, you do see the Iranians, they're slipping their cluster bombs, some of them, because they're using these saturation attacks. They are starting to penetrate the Iron Dome. So you are seeing some of these get through here. The rocket fire, the drone fire. It is starting to get in. It is starting to have effects on Israel proper, on television, and then again Kuwait, Kuwait just getting lit up night after night.
- [53:05]
Steve Bannon
This is getting. Thank Jack, your social media, your Twitter feed is a must. People got to go there, keep up with this war. Where they go.

Stephen K. Bannon
They were up on X, of course, at Jack Posobic, the podcast, Human Events Daily, we're doing daily sit reps. Look, we're trying to call balls and strikes here. We're trying to give you the unvarnished look and explain what's actually going on from the tactical level as well as

Steve Bannon
in the book on humans. Make sure you get that big article today about the new McCarthy. I'll get to that tomorrow.
- [53:38]
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah, yeah, new, new hit piece on still imagine you put the book out two years ago and we're still generating hate from the Atlantic. They're very upset that we called for a new McCarthyism.
- [53:52]
Steve Bannon
Yes. We're going to talk about this week, Jack. Thank you. And thank you, Tanya Tay, for letting Jack visit with us this morning. Brandon Weiker, we only got a couple of minutes, but give us, I need your battle assessment of where we are after last night.
- [54:05]
Brandon Weikart
Sir, in my opinion, the war is set to expand even more. The Iranians have been degraded, as I have said. They have not been Destroyed. They have shifted their munitions now from what were the older missile systems, as Jack was just noting, to now the, these more advanced systems. There is a massive strain on the particular the Qatar and Israeli air defense interceptor arsenal. So if this thing continues to go on as you and I believe they will, will the, the defense of these countries gets even more precarious. I also want to point out the Houthis have not yet opened up on the Red Sea. The Saudis are moving most of their oil transportation away from the Strait of Hormuz into their Red Sea port. I think the Houthis are waiting for them to be totally reliant on that and then they're going to seal it up. But we now have the issue of the Eritrean coastline. The Ethiopians have taken operational control. They are saying they're going to allow U.S. or Israeli forces to use ground based missiles to break up the Houthi capabilities across the way in Yemen. What that means is, Steve, we're now talking about a war expanding not just to Azerbaijan, not just to Beirut, you know, and all these other places, but now possibly in the Horn of Africa as well. This war is not ending anytime soon.
- [55:30]
Steve Bannon
Real quickly, your, your reporting drove the, the, the CEOs to come to the White House on Friday. Give me a minute because I'm jammed for time. What was the out, what was the outcome of the CEO meeting on, on Friday with President Trump at the White House?
- [55:44]
Brandon Weikart
They probably said some very pretty things to each other, but ultimately the reality is there will not be the ability to surge production the way we need to do. Remember, we need at least 200 tomahawks per year. We're not producing anywhere near that in 24 months. That is an industrial bottleneck that has to be overcome. And by the way, who controls the rare earth minerals that go into the creation of these systems? That's the People's Republic of China. And they are absolutely not going to let their, their choke hold on that go away. Now if they meet with Trump in Beijing, they're going to tell him, you stop the war or we're cutting you off from the rare earths. China is the beneficiary of all of this right now. Contrary to what some of the reporting earlier was saying.
- [56:27]
Steve Bannon
Okay, hang on. Where do people go to get your, your reporting, sir?
- [56:31]
Brandon Weikart
You can get me@1945.com, you can get me on the NAT set guy at Emerald TV tv and you can get me the Weikart report. That's old though. I don't really go there anymore. And you can get me on Twitter @we the. Brandon.
- [56:46]
Steve Bannon
Well, go to Twitter, I guess, for the updates. You can get all the books. Shadow War, a great primer, if you need one, on Iran versus the United States. Thank you, sir.
- [56:56]
Brandon Weikart
Thank you, sir.
- [56:57]
Steve Bannon
Dr. Thayer, I'm shocked. Weikart says the Chinese are winning in this. I don't know if I agree with that, but the Financial Times of London has said that they want. They've actually gone public and they want President Trump to come for a state visit, correct? How much? Thayer, you gotta explain this to me. They just get destroyed in Venezuela. They're getting destroyed. Their guys are getting destroyed in Iran, and they're not doing anything about it. How is this not a. How do they not lose face by having a state visit where President Trump comes in like a conquering hero, sir?
- [57:30]
Dr. Thayer
Well, Steve, because the Chinese Communist Party is in desperate straits economically, as we saw this week and last week, right? The economy is in free fall. They're in dire straits in that respect, and they're looking for. They're desperate for President Trump to save the Chinese Communist Party. Xi Jinping is going full Stalin on the military, right? He's purging the military. You saw his address to the People's Armed Police and the PLA today at the meeting of the delegation from those two bodies where he said there's no room for anybody who's disloyal to the party. So the CCP is in dire straits, and they need President Trump to come in and say, no changes to tariffs or tariff relief, no changes to investment. Right. Despite what President, The Trump administration has stressed, there's still investment in Communist China and no changes to the students. They still need to get the intellectual capital and knowledge from the United States through legal and illegal means. So the CCP needs President Trump. President Trump doesn't need the ccp. That's an important point to keep in mind. They're in dire straits. They need help, and President Trump can provide that for them. So we need to keep that in mind
- [59:01]
Steve Bannon
real quickly. This purge of the PLA talks about corruption. The military's got to be loyal or they're gone. We got a minute. He's already purged the military at the highest ranks. Is there going to be continue. If there's a continual purge, that means they're not ready to go strike Taiwan, correct?
- [59:18]
Dr. Thayer
Well, let's not maybe, right? I think we want to be careful about striking Taiwan, and we, we don't want to say because of X they can't do it. They may have a horrible surprise for us with respect to Taiwan. But look, Steve, at this rate, you're going to be asked to be on the cmc. You know, the way that they're going through their generals, their admirals. Right. It's going to be banned.
- [59:42]

This has been our special on Sunday. We're going to keep it up as we give you information and opinion and analysis. No one else will. We'll see you tomorrow morning, 10:00am Eastern Standard Time.
