Episode 5200: Exposing Corruption Of 2020 Election In Maricopa County; Financial Markets React To Iran

Trump's approach has been our interest in advancing those interests from the beginning. And so the fact that intelligence was gathered whether from Israelis or ours and always checked by our intelligences to make sure it's accurate. A lot of times the best way to start operations is a trigger-based or conditioned-based moment. And you can work together on whether that makes sense. But we were always controlling the throttle about whether or not ago or not go, and ultimately, to advance American interests and protect American lives. Some might look at that sequence of events and say, well, that it was an opportunity more than an imminent threat. I mean, I think much of that discussion is silly and academic. They've been killing us for 48 years, 47 years. They have unambulated nuclear ambitions. And when we obliterated their nuclear program at the end of the 12-day war in Operation Midnight Hammer, they should have come to the table and said, okay, we get it. We mean business. We're not going to have nukes, and they haven't. And as a result, when the president looks at it, generationally, he sees a threat that would continue to gather. I want to say, though, and the president's been clear about this. It doesn't mean they won't have some get through as we tragically saw. And we're going to greet those families at Dover and Honor and respect the sacrifice they gave. And President has been right to say there will be casualties. Things like this don't happen without casualties. There will be more casualties. And no one is, I mean, especially our generation knows what it's like to see Americans come home and caskets. But that doesn't weaken us one bit. It stiffens our spine in our resolve to say, this is a fight we will finish. We were going to raise a New York, and we want everyone here to stay in New York. You don't get to come from outside. And they tell everyone that. I'm going to say that. I'm going to say that. I'm going to say that. Say that. Say that. Say that, please. I'm trying to do it. Do it here. It's fine. And what's your name? What's your name? I'm a co-create. It's a chapter two. You hold that line out there. What are you doing? I'm going to say that. I'm going to say that. American people don't understand this war and haven't rallied behind it than what exactly is driving it. I have to step away from the scene for a moment to speculate about at least one answer to that. You see, it wasn't that long ago that groups in parts of the Middle East invoked extremist interpretations of Islam to justify violence against the West. Regimes like Saudi Arabia encouraged extreme interpretations of Islam that consider anyone who doesn't follow its doctrine, including other Muslims, to be infidels. The consequences, as we all know, have been devastating. That ideology helped give rise to movements like al-Qaeda and later its offshoot ISIS, which not only targeted the West, but Middle Eastern regimes as well. State-sponsored clerics routinely denounced Western civilization and framed global politics as a civilizational struggle. Americans remember the consequences of this worldview because the violence had bred eventually landed on our shores. But that religious extremism did not arise in a vacuum. Crucially, it was sustained by a political bargain. For decades, the Saudi monarch maintained an implicit agreement with its clerical class. The government will protect your authority and enforce your worldview so long as you legitimize the government. Religion in other words, became the ideological engine for maintaining political power. And something eerily similar is now unfolding right here at home, and it's been building for some time. More than two centuries after the framers warned about the dangers of merging faith with political power, we're now seeing a version of that same dynamic take hold at the highest levels of the American government. It's not just creeping in, it's actively shaping how this war is being understood and justified from those advising the president to military commanders briefing troops before their deployment. Is it possible to achieve the objectives President Trump has set before you if we don't locate and obtain and extract the highly enriched uranium? There's a lot of different ways we can get after that. They've used a conventional umbrella of missiles that was growing every single day their production capacity to try to cover over their nuclear blackmail ambitions. As far as how you get at that nuclear option, we'll make sure that their nuclear ambitions are never achieved. Will we take it out ourselves? Well, I would never tell you or anybody else what our options are. See, that's another thing. People keep asking. It's a very fair question. People ask boots on the ground, no boots on the ground, four weeks, two weeks, six weeks, go in, go in. President Trump knows I know. You don't tell the enemy. You don't tell the press. You don't tell anybody what your limits would be on an operation. We're willing to go as far as we need to in order to be successful. Do we have any overt or covert forces inside Iran now? I wouldn't tell you that if we did. I wouldn't be saying I asked because earlier this week you said no. Is that still the answer? Yeah, that's still the answer, but we reserve the right. It would be completely unwise if we did not reserve the right to take any particular option, whether it included boots on the ground or no boots on the ground. This is being investigated as an act of ISIS-inspired terrorism. I can also provide some additional information building on my remarks from Saturday evening at that time. We were beginning to conduct preliminary analysis of two devices that were ignited and deployed earlier that day, one in a crosswalk on east and avenue and east 87th Street and the other on the west side of east and avenue between east 86th and east 87th Street. That testing was performed by the NYPD's bomb squad and FBI special agent bomb technicians in consultation with an FBI chemist. Preliminary test results determined that these were not hoax devices nor smoke bombs. They were improvised explosive devices that could have caused serious injury or death war in Iran. Now entering its second week, as explosions erupt over Tehran while the U.S. and Israeli forces continued their relentless barrage of strikes on the terrorist regime. What you want from Iran? I said unconditioned. I said unconditioned. It's where they cryocote or when they can't fight any longer. We wiped out their leadership numerous times already. What we're doing is a great thing, not only for our country, not only for Israel, not only for the Middle East but for the world. When this ends, we're going to have a much safer world. So just hours ago, Iran choosing their new Supreme Leader, the son of the Ayatollah, Mojjaba Kuma Ni, it comes just days after President Trump called him a lightweight and an unacceptable selection. I just spoke to the President. He said this, I am not happy. So a breaking today, a 7th U.S. service member has died from injury sustained during the first day of attacks. Iran's foreign minister has rejected calls for a ceasefire as Gulf states have now been caught in the crossfire. So what's really happening behind the scenes with our Gulf state allies? So Joe, the regime is taking it pounding. The sky is over Tehran now, essentially, are undefended, which means that U.S. and Israeli bombers have been able to hit targets at will, the exploding oil tanks that you mentioned in the beginning or just one example of that. A veteran Iran operations person I spoke with last night said that in looking at the situation now in Iran, you need to focus on the scene and the unseen. The scene is the decision by the Iranian leadership to install basically the most hardline person possible as the new Supreme Leader. It's a direct rebuff to President Trump and his talk about, I'll pick the next leader. Well, they pick somebody who is so close to the IRGC that my source said he's basically woven into the fabric of the IRGC. So this is going to be a hardline war leader and that's the decision they made, decided to announce it publicly, even though the risk that he's going to be killed now as his father was is significant. What's unseen? What's unseen is any sign of revolt, marches in the streets, defection from the ruling elite in any part of the country. There is no uprising in Tehran or in any of the other provinces, people were expecting you'd see that kind of fragmentation by now, given the intensity of the U.S. bombardment. It isn't happening, which means that somebody like President Trump almost has to talk about use of ground troops because there's no indigenous revolt that's underway. Personally, I think the idea of invading with ground troops is so unlikely because of memories of Iraq and just the difficulties Joe of this is a country much bigger than Iraq, much more difficult to invade, more mountainous. So I tend to put the threat of ground troop invasion aside, but there's a real problem here on both sides of a tightening, no exit to this scenario. Neither side is talking about ways out. At the very moment, the world economy is really beginning to hurt because of the effects of the blockade of the straight up, where it moves and all the other war effects. We're heading toward what a week from now, I don't know whether we'll have peace, but we're going to have a financial market significantly tight. Evangelical Christianity was one of the most powerful political forces behind Donald Trump's rise. And this devil's bargain that religious nationalist struck with Trump looks not unlike the Saudi monarchies bargain with extremism. In America, they would overlook Trump's moral ethical and legal transgressions, and in return, he would hand them the keys to the kingdom, power over American culture, power, over education, power, over women's autonomy, and increasingly power over the machinery of state itself. This is already happening here at home, and now we're seeing how that alliance is helping to shape American foreign policy. Mike Huckabee, Trump's ambassador to Israel and a former Baptist minister is a self-proclaimed Christian Zionist. This is a movement that views Israel not simply as a modern state, but as the fulfillment of biblical prophecy and a necessary step toward the second coming of Christ. Huckabee himself has repeatedly framed Middle Eastern politics in explicitly theological terms. Here's where it gets interesting. In a recent interview, responding to a question about Genesis 15 verse 18's description of Israel, Huckabee suggested it would be fine. If Israel controlled the entire territory, stretching from the Nile in Egypt to the Euphrates in Iraq, essentially much of the modern Middle East. Here's what the biblical verse states. On that day, the Lord made a covenant with Abraham, saying, to your descendants, I have given this land from the river of Egypt as far as the Great River, the River Euphrates. This is a sitting U.S. ambassador. But Huckabee is hardly the only figure in Trump's orbit advancing extremist religious ideas. Senator Lindsey Graham has described a current conflict as a religious war that will determine the Middle East for a thousand years. When religious ideology, state power and military force merge, history tells us exactly what happens. It leads to what James Madison called superstition, bigotry, and persecution. The United States military was never meant to fight for religious prophecy. Today under Trump, Huckabee said that the Christian nationalist movement surrounding them, that line is being erased in real time. The price of that erasure will be paid for with the lives of innocent civilians abroad. And maybe paid for with the lives of innocent civilians here at home. And it will surely be paid for by American soldiers, sailors, and airmen and women, many of whom are being told that they are carrying out God's command. And we're going to win. Israel and the United States, you just wait to see what comes in the next two weeks. The next two weeks, meaning what? We're going to blow the hell out of these people. This regime is in a death row now. It is going to be on its knees. It's going to fall. And when it falls, we're going to have peace like, no other time, we're going to have prosperity unlike anyone could ever imagine. Peace brings prosperity. You can't do it by talking the Democrats, criticizes its operation. They didn't do a damn thing. These men and women in the military should make us all proud. And you know, this war may be hurting Americans, Americans who were said to pump, but one person who's doing swimmingly well and enjoying a windfall is rushes invading autocrat Vladimir Putin. And now the U.S. is considering lifting even more sanctions off of Russian oil. It caused a crude as surge above $100 a barrel for the first time since 2022. India refineries will now be granted a three-day waiver to purchase Russian oil. That's according to Treasury Secretary Scott Besson. The President Trump says rising oil prices, quote, are a very small price to pay adding, quote, only fools would think differently. Let me just say this. Go, America. Go, President. It got 92 percent of America behind you. And I bet you have most of the country behind you. We're going to destroy this enemy, free the people in Iran, China's upset, the Russians are upset, and the Democrats are upset. That's it. I'm done. Monday 9 March in the year of our Lord of 2026, what I think our team in Denver and our own team here at the war room for a magnificent cold open. We're going to take a short commercial break. John Solomon, Eric Bowling on the other side. A new year means new financial goals, like making sure your savings are secure and diversified. Will this be the year you finally listen to me and talk to someone from Birch Gold Group? Honestly, the great people, I appreciate their educational approach and their understanding of macroeconomics. There are forces pushing the dollar lower and gold higher, which is why they believe every American should own physical gold. So until February, if you are a first time gold buyer, Birch Gold is offering a rebate of up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases. One eligibility and start the process, just text Bannon at 9898. Birch Gold can help you roll an existing IRA or 401K into an IRA in gold and you're still eligible for a rebate of up to $10,000. Make right now your first time to buy gold and take advantage of a rebate of up to $10,000 when you buy by February 27. That's my name, Bannon, 9898, and claim your eligibility to date. Remember, text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N-T-9898. You've got to the end of February 27th, February, to qualify up to a $10,000 rebate. Okay, it's Monday 9 March, your rule or 2026. Let's do a level set here. We're going to accomplish three objectives on today's show. We are going to get into this expanding war in the economic implications. Eric Bolling, who knows what oil trade and still trades his account, is going to join us to the bottom of the hour. Posso is going to be on later in the show. We're going to get to much of that as we can. A lot of our analysts and experts are just not going to have time for today, although Natalie is going to join us this afternoon. I'm going to try to get more folks in here. Then also, Caroline Rand is going to join us in the second hour. We're going to do a very deep kind of rollout of this corner and packs in situation. There are many things going on and many things are not just important to MAGA, but most important to this country and this republic. Part of that is the folks that are going after the deep state. Many of the deep state people, when we play clips, when we do these cold opens, and once again, I want to thank the team for putting in all the different aspects of this into a 15-minute clip, which is amazing. You see a lot of these Brennan and these people up there all the time. John Solomon, you've got nothing short of a blockbuster story on Justin who's, I think, you broke overnight. Maricopa County. You've been the tip of the spear of allowing us to understand the overall framing of what's happening in Georgia. We've had tons of the local people who have been fighting the fight in Georgia. And as Georgia is the key, the pride picks the lock today because people stood in the breach and go, everybody remembers back from that night that it was really Arizona and the call by Fox News that kind of seemed like a domino effect and really disoriented many, many, many people who were not just Fox fans, but obviously Trump supporters. And we've never really gotten steady on that. So go through what your story says today because I think this is so important. I wanted to lead with it this morning, sir. Thank you. Appreciate it. So Maricopa County has had more than a decade of long-term problems. Back in the early 2000s, it was the Democrats who always cried for that Maricopa County couldn't confode correctly, couldn't administer the election correctly. Then in 2024, Republicans raised the same currents and Democrats suddenly went into a state of denial. The FBI has decided that the history of Maricopa County is problematic. And that under federal law, a county or a state must administer the election the way their state laws do require it. If they don't, it is a federal legal violation. This is why they rated Fulton County another place with a long history of irregularities and misconduct and quite frankly, just incompetent election counting. So the focus in this grand jury subpoena that went in the last few days to Maricopa County sees many gigabytes of election data is the 2024 election, which is interesting because President Trump won there. But there is a discovery that was made by congressional observers. Every year, the House Administration Committee sends observers, one Democrat, one Republican, to various voting centers, one of the teens, the Republican Democrat team, that went to Maricopa County, observed something very disturbing. They took pictures. They wrote a long report, Congress from an Abe Hamedate hinted at this in an oversight letter recently. The information in that report was so troubling to the FBI and went coupled to the things that the Arizona Senate found in 2020 that were raised as concerns and the things that Hamedate and Kerry Lake raised in 2022. They were able to get a grand jury subpoena from a federal grand jury and execute the transmission of a large amount of voter data. They're going to go through that data looking for some of the tail tail signs that were in this congressional report. I hope in the next couple days to make that congressional report public. So everybody can see what it was that observers on Brian Styles, House Administration Committee saw Brian style himself acknowledged that they were working with federal authorities on this specific Arizona matter. So they got Congress working with the FBI. And I think this is phase two of about a five phase look at states, particularly blue states or blue areas of states where elections are not administered the way the law says they're supposed to be. And as a result, the FBI may come in and prosecute people because it is a federal felony. If you don't follow your state's laws, if you don't treat everybody the same under your state law. So that's where we are at today. Now, over the next 10 days, Steve, we're going to have a lot more. We are going to be able to get for the first time. I've been able to start processing these documents, large body of evidence. It's in the intelligence community that raises concerns about foreign interference in our elections. That'll probably be the end of this week or early next week. The documents are explosive. They're really remarkable. And what's most remarkable is that all this has been kept a secret from the American people, possibly present in Trump in some cases until recently, of course, when this team told them. I think there's a lot there. And then in between those two things, we're going to reveal another code named FBI investigation that targeted President Trump, one you've never heard of before, one that may be among the most troubling. We have crossfire hurricane, of course. We've got Plasma Echo. And we have the third one that targeted the January 6th investigation, Arctic Frost. There is another one that is really deeply troubling. It's troubling to the FBI, it's troubling to the intelligence community. And hopefully between now and next week, we'll get all four of those stories out. Hang on, you're telling me that they've found a cash in the team. And I assume you're telling me they found a fourth targeting a President Trump by the deep state. Yeah. And it's a very serious one because it seems to involve speech dilemmas. In other words, if you said something or you spoke a certain way about a certain issue, you potentially were deemed a national security threat to the United States and you were put under an assessment and potentially criminal investigation. So I learned of this operation because I was targeted in 2022. I had a cooperate with the Justice Department. When the Justice Department and I talked, they realized that their entire theory of the case was ludicrous. But as a result of that, I've been on a two and a half three year mission to get these documents to get the truth out about what happened recently. FBI agents working for a cash pretel found this operation, found the skiff that it was hiding, hot and found the code word name for it, found the prohibited access file. So one of the things that Chris raised people did is they would start these political investigations, targeting Trump or even someone else, they would keep it off the books. People could not see it in the FBI sentinel system. This one was one of those well hidden. As a result of some senior leadership that worked around cash pretel, you know, there were people that were in this era that knew what was going on. In some cases, maybe even been required to work on certain things. They knew what was going on and they've been guiding cash pretel to these records and helping him find these records in the labyrinth of secrecy that Chris raised FBI created. So these senior executives are really helping uncover some really jaw dropping stuff. And I think in the next couple days, people will see that as well. John, and I'm actually being staked through the break and I'm going to have to back up bowling for a second because this is so just so. Ah, sorry about that. I love it, Eric. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, let me go. Let me go with the last first. You've been one of the biggest, I would say defenders of the institution of the CIA and FBI and saying, look, there's bad apples and we got to go, we got to pull people accountable. The way we're going to do that is these deep investigations. Don't you think that this last goes to my point that it's an institutional rot that's even farther beyond people? I mean, now this one may be the most disturbing of all, even more than Arctic Frost. Uh, that is not the most disturbing. Another. And it's not just, it's not just you find the most disturbing. We're here in the ninth of March of 2026 after cash has been there a year investigating and going into the records, like saying, going to a skiff and they find a boxes. We have no worthy idea. There's, they're probably in all likelihood other things, maybe not direct target the president but other things. Doesn't this hit the trip wire that finally the president, people around him and people on Capitol Hill, particularly people that know the intelligence community or have to come together, even on the right and say, look, this problem is so serious. It's so deep into the culture of what they were doing that there has to be a deeper investigation to actually starting to look at breaking these things up, sir. Yeah. Melissa, I think that is underway. We're not seeing a lot of it. But in the reporting I've done, I'm stumbling into really significant grand jury investigations, particularly the one down in Florida, but it's not the only one. Listen, I have been chronicling the abuses at the FBI all the way back to the 1990s. At the F, I started by breaking the FBI lab scandal, the 1990s, where the FBI cheated for decades, not years, decades, they cheated on various sciences. They made up fake science to convict people. And right after 9-11, I broke all the stories, including the Arizona memo and the Masawi files that showed that the FBI had all the components of the 9-11 plot, but failed to put them together in a quick way. They even knew the pilots were training for a mission and didn't act quick enough. And then, of course, I unravel Russia collusion with the, across fire, Hurricane and there. This institution has been sick since the day that a J. Edgar Hoover first created it. It is always going to be flawed. The problem is there are no courageous members in the United States Senate. It's maybe absent, Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley who really are doing amazing work. By the way, they're going to be a big part of the story later this week. The will is not there in the Republican Party to fix this. They can't even get FISA reform done through Congress. So you might as well forget Congress. Congress is a dead end for anything that's going to be a fix, which what is going to have to happen is Casper-Tel has to realign the agency from the inside out. It's the only way it's going to get done. It is starting to happen in very big ways. And some things are not public yet because I can't talk about it. But I think there are some improvements. That said, the CIA and the FBI are going to always support the American people. They're always going to hide the truth from the American people. When you see these intelligence files on foreign intervention, you're going to go, how in God's name could they not have told us six years ago, five years ago, four years ago, three years ago. And I also think that these files that come out later this week or early next week will have an impact on senators. Those who are reluctant to pass the Save America Act will suddenly have a personal local reason to want to support the Save Act because of the fact that their state may have been a victim of some mal-influence operations by one or two foreign powers. John, hang on for a second. I know you get a bounce, but I got to hold you. A couple more questions on this kind of blockbuster news. What do we do to start a Monday? John Solomon, hang on. We're going to take a short commercial break. John Solomon, Eric Bowling, we're going to talk about, guess what? Oil and gas impact on the world economy all next in the world. The world is getting more unstable and chaotic every day. It seems like everywhere you look, there's another crisis, another controversy, another conflict or just outright catastrophe. You can't control what happens out there, but you can control how you prepare for it. You can make sure that no matter what happens, you have the basics covered in case one of these disasters reaches your doorstep. You know, things like having enough food to eat when the shelves are empty and when it comes to my family's food security, I trust my patriot supply. They've helped millions of Americans get prepared and they have over 90,000 five star reviews. Right now, you can get their best selling three month emergency food supply kit for a hundred bucks off. My patriot supply almost never offers a deal like this. To take advantage of it, go to preparewithbanon.com. That's all one word, preparewithbanon.com. This food kit gives you 2,000 calories a day, last up to 25 years. And best of all, it's $100 off for a limited time. Go to preparewithbanon.com and get yours right now. That's preparewithbanon.com. Make sure you know all one word, preparewithbanon.com. Special deal, 100 bucks off, do it today. Okay, John Solomon joins us with all signal noise. Solomon, you've been on this one, this last one for a couple of three years, right? Yeah, about three years. After I learned that I had been targeted by an FBI and Justice Department investigation, just because of the reporting I did, I set on a journey and I was determined to get to the truth of it and it led me down to avenues. And on this operation that we'll talk about later this week and then the other election integrity issues that weren't on the table. A lot of issues have been on the table. We know what they are and they are what they are. But there wasn't one particular area that the intelligence committee was intent on keeping from President Trump and quite frankly from President Biden and drilling through that concrete. We've really gotten some real great data, a big shout out to three people that are working against their agencies deep states. Tulsi, Gabbard, and D&I, John Ratcliffe and CIA and Cash, Prattell and FBI, they are literally taking incoming fire every day, but they've broken through. They've done some really jaw-dropping reviews, and they're now about to do some really important declassifications. And they're not popular in their agencies right now, but the American people will be better off when these revelations come out. And Crab, this is what we mean by the deep state. Like I said, when I was in the White House, and they ain't a deep state when you're there, they're up in your grill. They're up in your frickin' grill. And they're so powerful, like even Biden, they think presidents elect officials, they're just passing through. They're there permanently. That's the permanent American government. Real quickly, you said five phases, and you said Maricopa was phase two. Is that to imply that that Fulton County was phase one? Yeah, I think they're looking at five epicenters of voting irregularities. I don't know the other three yet. I just know there's a total of five on the agenda based on what people have been told downstream, the agencies of the field that are going to work on this, the prosecutors that are getting grand jury subpoena. So it looks like they'll be looking at some other places. If you look historically, you clearly have some concerns about what went on in Michigan, all the work we did last year, in Michigan on the state police uncovering this voter mill, and no one in the FBI ever going and investigated, even though the Michigan state police said, hey, something bad happened here. I'd have to assume Michigan might be on the top of the list. Wisconsin's always had a lot of questions. There was a famous video by James O'Keefe, eight, 10 years ago of a guy admitting that they would bust in the legal aliens to vote, whether that's true or not. I don't know, but the video was clearly true. You could see it for yourself. So I think Wisconsin's a likely one, but I don't know the other three, but I'm told that there are five areas that they're looking at. Five regions, three five localities were election and regularities have long been an issue. I'm a thought. Yeah, I'm a thought another, I'm going to start another random name, Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, but we'll leave that for another day. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. Um, the congression, this Congress report, Abe Hameda has been all over this. Do you have any idea? I, you said you have it when you will be able to vet this and put it out to people. Yeah, I've been vetting it for a few weeks. I got the document in the last 24 hours, but I've kind of known what it says. And like I said, we had Brian's style. I'm talking about it. Well, I think we'll have it in time for tomorrow. If everything goes well, you just got to do the reporting dot your eyes, cross your T's, but a team of my reporters and I're working on it already. And I think we'll have it out in the next 24 or 48 hours. It'll advance and give you a better understanding of what alerted the FBI to this activity that they just took in Maricopa County. Okay. So everybody, every, every Republican establishment figure, every, the, the people there that are all permanently, you know, drafting off the deep state, everybody's going to be President Trump's year, that this is all nonsense. This takes him away from his mission. He shouldn't do this. What is your recommendation to the president of what we have to do to drive this? Because the resistance in this folks is going to be massive. This is why we're in March of 2026. And finally now getting down to the, to, to, to, you know, some real, some real information we can drive forward. What's your recommendation to the president to make sure we continue to drive forward? Because the forces arrayed against any action here are going to be substantial. Sir, yeah. You know, the president doesn't often follow the conventions of Washington. He doesn't brief senators on big stuff often unless it's really important. I think the data that Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe and Casper-Tel have found on foreign interference in the election, particularly foreign interventions in certain electronic systems. By the way, not the voting machines, but other systems that can be used for malinfluents and operations. I think it's one of those moments that the president spent some time talking to senators who states may have been targeted. I think he can move votes one by one. And you only have to get to 51. Once you get to 51, right, 49 in the Senate right now in favor of the Save America Act. The president every day talks about every day on truth. The other amazing post overnight about it. I think this is one of those things where, hey, even if you don't agree with the president, you've been fighting with them. Do you really want to find out that your state might have been intruded upon by a foreign power? And you didn't know about it for five, six years. And when you look at what the intrusion is, it's pretty clear what the foreign power wants to have the capability to do. They wanted to do ballot box stuffing. What's the best way to make sure that ballot box stuffing, which goes all the way back to Tamini Hall and, and Chicago style politics of voter ID and citizenship really make it hard to ballot box stuff. And so I think the president has an opportunity to go senator by senator and move that vote along. There will be some Democrats that will be deeply concerned about what the Intel community has known. By the way, some of the people who were most forthcoming about this were people in the Biden administration and the intelligence community said, I can't believe that the Trump people didn't know about this. We learned about it, of course, they didn't say anything, but the idea that the Biden administration knew of this for four years should concern us all. John Solomon, amazing. Where do people go to get the show, the content, your podcast, the new site, all of it? Thanks, my friend. Yeah, so just the news.com is the website. Jason Solomon reports on all social media and I'm lucky enough to follow you in the amazing Eric Bowling back to back on Real America's voice six o'clock just the news. No noise.

Wow, Groover before that post before that Charlie Kerf and before that and then back to world pretty good block of programming. John Solomon, thank you sir Eric Bowling. I'm going to play a clip after the break as I got to hold you through, but just give your bonafides to the audience again about your expertise in this particular area have you for 12 years, put your own capital to work against the best in the and the biggest around and why that makes you a big deal. And then you can see an amazing window in which to see this this not just war but massive geopolitical potential realignment in the world's energy markets and therefore the world's economy. Thank you Steve 35 years of trading 12 on the trading floor where I literally go there every single day my own money on the line and I trade against the big boys Saudi or Amco's all of them shell ex on mobile the investment banks on Wall Street the private equity guys. And I just hand hand combat every single day with these folks and Steve I've traded through conflicts of trade it through golf wars I've traded through things I've seen this so many times before in my the reason why I was talking to you late last night and to the morning. Was you can see the people who are advising the president and the people who are talking on CNBC and others they're missing a whole point right here right now and my concern is that we're going to drive prices oil prices are up 103 dollars a bell right now it was 120 dollars a barrel at midnight last night back off a little bit. The first time you contact me the hang on the first the first time you contact we talked yesterday after the the the tack or talk about the attack in the next block the first trade was was 19 dollars up right it took it up to over 100 to $109 I think the very first thing exploded right out of the box they jacked up to almost one hundred and nineteen forty eight is the actual high doesn't need to be here we have their ways I have a solution for you. Steve will hold it off but it will guarantee we never get ourselves into this ever again it's a full proof no one's ever said it before this is unique for the war room folks because if Trump gets it and understands it he has so much leverage right now he can pull this off and we will never be talking about another hundred dollar bell barrel of oil certainly in our lifetime but we can do it too. So everybody ever ever run around the G sevens run around they all want to start tapping strategic petroleum reserves the G seven met earlier today what exactly is going on you're saying hey we don't have a everybody's run around saying we have a problem about this Eric bowling saying we actually don't have a problem with this we got a problem with that so walk through the air bowling theory of the case we do not have a supply problem we have a dislocation issue and frankly we don't you know it stays of America doesn't have a problem with the industry we have a problem with that so these S. P. R. Strategic petroleum releases Obama did one in 2009 it didn't work I believe Clinton did one as well it didn't work Biden did one in 2022 I want to say when inflation was 9% it didn't work the S. P. R. is a very short term more of a news hook than an actual supply we don't have an issue supplying our finalies to produce gasoline we have an issue of global networks looking like everyone needs to be on the same page with price we don't we see we use about 20 million barrels a day in this country we produce about 13 million barrels a day there's a very very easy solution to get the other seven million barrels not just by drilling I have this solution for you but this idea that we're going to drain an S. P. R. it's 720 million barrels when it at its peak right now there's only 415 because of what Obama and Biden did they never replenish that well went down and they just never replenished it so we're at risk when you delete your S. P. R. from real supply disruptions massive earthquakes or something where we can't produce our own oil those are the reasons for the S. P. R. not to tell the world we're going to release some oil whether here or internationally like that's going to do anything there right now there's a glut of oil right now the issue isn't producing oil it's it's building up so fast there's no more storage but prices are going up because of these talking heads on TV my concern is Steve is that the folks who are advising the president have never really traded through these conflicts before before and they don't know what's on the back side of it I do I just I've done it many times hang on hang on you've got the storage problem now because you're not getting the relief valve of tankers going through the streets over a moose what the president's talking about is putting up some reinsurance money which the 20 billion I think say fraction of what the reality is it's a hundred billion north plus you've got a you have to you have to break off the Navy. Can we just talk about that for one second go ahead go ahead hit it you're the expert I'm just a guy in the dollars go ahead you're your Saudi ramp you're a Saudi you're you're a shipping company 20 billion you're not going to risk four five hundred crew members lives and in a shipment of crude oil for for for an insurance fund that totally has 20 billion dollars in it I don't think you needed it all frankly but if you're going to do that somehow ensure tell tell that captain go ahead risk all those your lives and you know don't worry will you know will pay off you know a million dollars what no one's going to really do it but if you want to do it make it legit make it make it three two three hundred hundred dollars not 20 I mean you could blow through 20 billion dollars if if they line the golf and three or four tankers explode I mean it's it's not the solution either it's really not the so there's a very very simple solution I wouldn't call it simple but with with the leverage that Trump is developed there's a there's a win in here there's a big win in here. When you talk about the leverage Trump's develop before we go to break get about 30 seconds your turn because now we got Venezuela goana you've you've got just in the Western hemisphere with hemispheric defense we now have 10x what the Persian golf has is that the leverage. Well you do but that is part of the leverage you want now do you now we have to break your call no no no hang on hang on hang on hang on hang on hang on hang on I rolled Eric bowling out of the rack earlier this morning to get the answer so we're going to take a short commercial break. I really appreciate you doing this I love experts in the pits as only bowling can be we're going to take a short commercial break this all came about because of Saturday night that's what I'm so appreciative of real America's voice the true and Denver Robin Parker say our own team here at the Borum do the Sunday show we went to a bunch of the battle assessment yesterday we're going to hit on that Eric Bowling's have talked to us about President Trump's leverage in a solution next the If you can make one holiday wish would you wish to be free from your credit card another debt.

Yeah it is quite striking to see what a blow this has been to whatever plan Iran had in thinking that they could attack the Gulf countries and have the Gulf countries put pressure on Israel and the United States to stop thus far that hasn't happened and it was quite striking to see NBC walking through the balls there in the UAE to show a force of defiance there that the country is still standing. And it's also it's also moving and impressive to see now the IDF chief of staff in regular almost daily communication with his counterparts at the heads of these militaries of these Arab countries that's what this is what an adavani me when we were watching a region be transformed just that that all these Arab states in Israel are fighting a war on the same side. Okay that's not the clip I want it but I will get the clip I wanted so yesterday Dan senior in another show on CNN said when the host asking about the United States and Israel working together he had never seen such integration he had never seen it was all one. We have they have people in our command center we have people in their command center that the air strikes the coordination of the air strikes the missile strikes all of it was something he had never seen before of two militaries working together. Then Axios and people should understand Axios is basically gets leaks from the White House all the time they ain't giving them the bright bar and they're not giving them to citizens repress and they're not giving them to gateway pundit not the big ones they always give them to Axios you can see Axios and they say from senior White House officials they're also very close their members of the Axios team they're very close to the senior levels of the Israeli government and the IDF and so that's what they had this article yesterday about President Trump in the military were shocked and stunned I think the word they use was dismayed at the strike on Saturday night the strike on Saturday night is going to be an inflection point. Because the the Israeli Air Force went after the all infrastructure in Tehran I think mainly storage facilities maybe some refinery capacity this was the fireball that was created Saturday night in Tehran and later first of it made no sense strategically if you see what President Trump and his team is trying to accomplish. The last thing we want to do in fact what they're trying to do and tone down this effort in striking the golf is to stop any attacks on the desalination facilities so they got water but also make sure that there's no hits on their all infrastructure which will send all markets in in thermal as they have the Saturday night strike and this is what's so shocking with dance seniors. Basically telling us how the joint command works it's impossible impossible and I'm talking to people behind the scenes it's impossible for that to have happened unless folks were misled that joint and you see this from finale this targeting operation is that the most sophisticated level about exactly what we're degrading it is a very methodical it's what the Air Force in the United States Navy do for a living. This is game day they don't make mistakes you may have something go offline there's this issue about the striking the girl school that's on a military base yes those things happen in war but the process is bullet proof because they practice over and over and over again this is what they do to understand that we had something on Saturday night that was totally outside of the office. The operating scenario of the American military or the strategic direction a president actually is reporting president Trump is very upset and they were going to deal with the highest levels of the Israeli government to make sure everybody got on the same page. This is so dangerous and it shows you what Sam Fattis was talking about yesterday. You're an alliance but what are the objectives of the two entities I would say that the American government the American people's strategic objective here is quite different than the Israelis and even had Lindsey Graham came out on a tweet with a cleanup aisle three saying oh we got to understand take the big picture here we can't make these mistakes Saturday night. This was a major inflection point understand it somebody in the Israeli military and government made a decision that they were going to do it their way and not in conjunction with the United States of America full stop short break Eric Bowling on the other side.
