1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,639
Speaker 1: And Iran, for its part, is now confirming the deaths

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,399
Speaker 1: of two key figures, a top defense official, Ali Larijani

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: also Golam Marasa Solamani, the commander of the besiege and

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: paramilitary force. Now Israel claims responsibility for both killings and

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: says they will do the same to Iran Supreme leader.

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 2: Which the most Taba Hamine's fate is unknown. We neither

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: see nor hear from him, but I can.

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 3: Say one thing. We will continue as we have proven.

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: We will continue to pursue anyone who poses a threat

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: to the state of Israel, and anyone who raises a

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: hand against us is not immune from us. We will

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: pursue him, find him, and neutralize him.

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 4: Today, under pressure from Donald Trump, the House and the

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 4: far right Senate Republicans open debate on legislation they're calling

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 4: the Save America Act. The voter suppression bill would require

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 4: voters to show approved photo identification in order to vote

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 4: in federal elections and proof of citizenship in order to register.

18
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 4: If the legislation passes, it could enfranchise millions of Americans.

19
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 4: Debate on the bill, which does not currently have enough

20
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 4: support to pass the Chamber, could go on for weeks.

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 4: Here's the President moments ago lying about our election system.

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 5: The biggest thing coming up is to Save America Act

23
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 5: in the Senate that's voter ID and proof of citizenship.

24
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 5: No mail in ballots, you know, corrupt mail in ballots.

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 6: We're the only country in the world that does it

26
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 6: that way. Corrupt as hell.

27
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, Senate Democrats avowed to use every tool in their

28
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 4: arsenal to tank the legislation and make Republicans pay for their.

29
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: Efforts if the US were to stop their side in this.

30
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: Do you think Israel would continue with that?

31
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 7: Well, I think it's possible, though many in Israel say, look,

32
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 7: Trump started the war, Trump will end the war. That's

33
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 7: what happened last summer in June, when the Israelis were

34
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 7: on their twelfth day of a bombing campaign. Trump had

35
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 7: the US drop fourteen bunker busters on one day and

36
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 7: then said, Okay, the war's over. Israel still had a

37
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 7: very long target list, and the bombing of the besiege,

38
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 7: as in all of the attacks on the Revolutionary Guard

39
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 7: are intended to destroy the instruments of Iranian power that

40
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 7: both threaten US externally and threaten our own people internally,

41
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 7: so that by destabilizing the regime and that critical area.

42
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 8: It causes the regime to fracture at the top.

43
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 7: They're losing leaders, hand over fist, personal animosities, ambition, family

44
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 7: connections now all start to play a big role, and

45
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 7: as the regime comes apart, hopefully the opposition can begin

46
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 7: to take advantage of it and see the regime collapse internally.

47
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: On the top national security official became the first senior

48
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: administration member to quit over the war. Joe Kent is

49
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: his name. He headed the National counter Terrorism Center. Quoting

50
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: now from his letter to the President, Iran posed no

51
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that

52
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: we started this war due to pressure from Israel and

53
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: its powerful American lobby. Joe Kent is a former Army

54
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: green bray whose wife was killed in the Syrian Civil War.

55
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: In the past, he's made news for amplifying conspiracy theories

56
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: about January sixth. He's also had to disavow pass interactions

57
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: with a Nazi sympathizer and a Holocaust denier. His wife,

58
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: a naval officer, was killed by a suicide bomber in

59
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: Syria in twenty nineteen. For his part, the President today

60
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: said and I'm quoting him here. I always thought he

61
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: was a nice guy, but I always thought he was

62
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: weak on security.

63
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 9: To my friend Joe Kent, who's a decorated war veteran

64
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 9: who lost his wife in Syria, what are you doing.

65
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 9: You're giving aid and comfort to a lie. There was

66
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 9: an imminent threat. How much more evident could you be

67
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 9: within two weeks having enough material to make ten bombs?

68
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 9: How close could you come?

69
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: Not much?

70
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 9: Well, us a bunch of bs, if it weren't for

71
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 9: Israel would be less safe. Israel has no choice to

72
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 9: stop radical Islam from destroying it. I hope the American

73
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 9: people understand we have no choice. You may be tired

74
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 9: of fighting them, but they're not tired of fighting you.

75
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 9: The only reason they haven't killed more Americans than they

76
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 9: have radical Islam is we stop them before they get here.

77
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 9: If they had weapons grade material, they would turn it

78
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 9: into a bomb. And if they had a bomb, they

79
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 9: would use it because they're religious Nazis, those who got

80
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 9: Hitler wrong. You're doing the same thing in twenty twenty six.

81
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 9: You're heading the sand approach to who the Ayatola is

82
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 9: and who this regime is could kill millions of people

83
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 9: President Trump, You're the right man at the right time.

84
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 9: God bless you for taking decisive action. And could you

85
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 9: imagine what the world would be like if Kamala Harris

86
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 9: had won. So we got to get this right, and

87
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 9: we're very close to getting it right. We're very close

88
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 9: to collapsing that.

89
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 10: Or last, this is the Trump's jaunting dilemma. This is

90
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 10: the decision he has to make. Does he escalate the

91
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 10: conflict with ground troops to achieve his ambitious goals, even

92
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 10: though Pole suggests it is deeply unpopular here in the

93
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 10: United States and Republicans are very afraid of what it

94
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 10: could mean for the midterms, including because the guests prices

95
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 10: continue to surge. Or does he declaim some sort of

96
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 10: hollow victory pull out reduce the economic pain, But that

97
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 10: would leave in Iran an embittered, violent regime that would

98
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 10: potentially still have some control at least of the straight

99
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 10: up homose, still have its nuclear stockpile, and be completely

100
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 10: unwilling going forward to ever trust a US negotiation.

101
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 6: Again, correct, you are.

102
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 11: Correct, and there in this once again, there are no

103
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 11: good options here at this moment for President Trump. And

104
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 11: I'd like to also point out another dilemma he's facing,

105
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 11: my colleague David Sanger wrote this morning in The Times,

106
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 11: which is that he has talked increasingly publicly about perhaps

107
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 11: the need to send in commands to somehow seize or

108
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 11: destroy the nuclear material that is under a mountain. It

109
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 11: is Fahan and Iran, and he is talking more and

110
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 11: more about this. You know, as we know, what you

111
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 11: see with the President is what is going through his

112
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 11: mind at any given time, and he's talked about this,

113
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 11: and that's a very tough decision too.

114
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 3: It's highly risky.

115
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 11: It would put the going after Assama bin Laden that

116
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 11: would look like a picnic compared to this, and it

117
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 11: would potentially it could cause a you could there's canisters

118
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 11: stored underneath this mountain.

119
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 6: They could rupture.

120
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 11: It could cause radioactivity spreading all over the area. Also,

121
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 11: but also if you leave it there, Iran still has

122
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 11: a bit of nuclear fuel that it can use its

123
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 11: leverage and its source of its power to very tough decision.

124
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 11: And what you see with the President every day is

125
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 11: just this back and forth about I want the allies,

126
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 11: I don't need the allies.

127
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 12: You know, is just what.

128
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 11: You're seeing is President Trump's thinking in real time that

129
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 11: he doesn't know what his options are. I mean, he

130
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 11: doesn't know what to do right now. It's a little

131
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 11: alarming to watch it.

132
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: I mean more tonight about the type of bombs that

133
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: sentcom Tonight says it dropped on Iranian missile sites near

134
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz. A US official tells us they

135
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: are GPS guided, so they work in all weather, and

136
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: they are designed to destroy heavily reinforced, deeply buried targets.

137
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: Tonight's strike, successful though it may be, will not be

138
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: the final word, of course, on threats the Strait or

139
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: Iron's neighbors.

140
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 8: Got to remember there are hundreds, if not thousands of

141
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 8: speedboats that are hidden along that coastline in coves, camouflaged

142
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 8: in open site as commercial vehicles.

143
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: Literally speedboats that kind you would see out recreationally.

144
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 8: Yes, what you'd see cigarette boats that basically can can

145
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 8: shoot missiles at big ships are ships tankers. So until

146
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 8: we can eliminate that threat, I still think we're not

147
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 8: going to be considered militarily successful well through the Strait,

148
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 8: and the commercial success won't be a fir one.

149
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean, with the USS coll we saw what one

150
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: speedboat like that can do to a.

151
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 8: Vessel, and our tankers are much much larger. During the

152
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 8: Tanker War, it took three or four different hits on

153
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 8: a tanker to sink it. But nonetheless, when you've got

154
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 8: a couple of hundred, if not thousands, speedboats, they can

155
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 8: put a lot of pain.

156
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 13: On those tankers.

157
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 9: Nobody will say this in the mainstream media because it

158
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 9: justifies what President Trump did. Nobody in the mainstream media

159
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 9: will tell you after Midnight Hammer, before we blew up

160
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 9: all the enrichment facilities, they went back at it again,

161
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 9: Thus epic fury. What Wickoff said on your show changes everything.

162
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 9: To my friends at the White House. Every American should

163
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 9: know the facts. You can have your opinion about President

164
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 9: Trump all you want. If he had not acted within

165
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 9: two weeks, they would have had enough weapons material to

166
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 9: make ten bombs. Donald Trump acted decisively. I'd bless the

167
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 9: fact that he did. If he had failed to act,

168
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 9: we'd all be living with a iye of toola still alive,

169
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 9: enough weapon grave material to make ten bombs. That's what's

170
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 9: at stake here. The liberals literally do want Trump to fail.

171
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 9: They fear him more than the fear of the eye

172
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 9: toota with a nuclear weapon. This is a sick time

173
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 9: in which we live.

174
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: We have to push through this. Who these in Yemen?

175
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: I mean they have fired on ships previously in the Strait.

176
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 14: A challenge I've dealt with in the past in the

177
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 14: Red Sea Anderson. So far, the Houthis which are supplied

178
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 14: massively right down here, this is the Babel Manda translates

179
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 14: about the.

180
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 15: Gate of Tears.

181
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 14: The Houthis which are here in these mountains armed with

182
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 14: Iranian missiles, and they fired anti ship missiles at our

183
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 14: ships going mock fur. I mean it was by the

184
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 14: skill of our sailors that we didn't have massive losses

185
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 14: on our ships. This is incredibly gnarly territory. We built it,

186
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 14: We built a international coalition. It was pretty successful. But

187
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 14: to build the confidence of these commercial shippers it takes

188
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 14: time and time and time and patience. It is hard,

189
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 14: hard work. So far, the Houthis have not joined this fight.

190
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 3: Why is this so?

191
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 14: There's different theories. One it's a car that are on

192
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 14: is holding back. Another is they have been pounded. I

193
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 14: mean they've really been pounded by US strikes since really strikes,

194
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 14: particularly last fall. Then maybe they don't want to mix

195
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 14: it up again. But if they started to shoot into

196
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 14: this passageway, I think we then have a dual challenge.

197
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 3: So I'm watching that very close.

198
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 12: Any longer than he has to, and I don't think

199
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 12: it's going to.

200
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: Be much longer.

201
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 9: No, we're not going to invade a rond, there's no

202
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 9: reason to. We're going to destroy their ability to hurt us,

203
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 9: have a nuclear weapon, build missiles, data America and terrorize

204
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 9: the region. Car galland ninety percent of their income comes

205
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 9: from all and gas revenue, one hundred percent of that

206
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 9: revenue generating capabilities on a single allan, mister President, take

207
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 9: car gallin.

208
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 3: This war is over.

209
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 4: Already succeeded in sowing some element of doubt in our

210
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: elections and setting a predicate for claiming fraud. Talk me

211
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 4: through what it is they're doing here.

212
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 16: Well, absolutely, they're trying to make everyone feel concerned about participating. Right,

213
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 16: They're threatening people, They're threatening election officials with imprisonment. So

214
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 16: they're trying to make it difficult for Americans to vote.

215
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 16: They're trying to create barriers to entry that are so

216
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 16: high that they become insurmountable. And they are doing it

217
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 16: based on this theory that our elections are somehow not safe,

218
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 16: which is patently false. All of the studies that have

219
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 16: shown this idea that people are showing up at polls

220
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 16: and they're not who they say they are are wrong.

221
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: It just doesn't happen exactly.

222
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 16: There's no voter impersonation fraud where people are showing up

223
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 16: and pretending that they're someone who they're not. There are

224
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 16: criminal statutes and penalties that take care of that issue.

225
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 16: So this is a solution that is a bad one

226
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 16: in search of a problem, and the real animus behind

227
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 16: this is to try to steal the midterm elections by

228
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 16: shrinking the electorate and making it so small that people

229
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 16: who want change in this country won't have a voice

230
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 16: in our election.

231
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 15: Wednesday, eighteenth March you over Lower twenty twenty six. Amazing

232
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 15: curation by our team at Denver and of course the

233
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 15: war Room production team. Amazing. Okay, we're gonna be juggling

234
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 15: many things this morning, plus doing a full show. We

235
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 15: have the President Ied States is going to be leaving,

236
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 15: I believe right towards the end of the show when

237
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 15: we do the handoff to the Charlie Kirk Show. He

238
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 15: is going to Dover to receive the honored dead of

239
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 15: the case one five the six crewmen that died in

240
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 15: defense of their country, we'll return. The President United States

241
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 15: will be there to meet them. Also, Joe Kent rolled

242
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 15: a hand grenade into the Senate Intelligence Committee meeting today

243
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 15: of Cash Bettel, Tulci, Gabbert, John Ratcliffe are going to

244
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 15: be grilled by the Senate Intelligence Committee that's taking place

245
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 15: even as we speak opening statements. We're going to cut

246
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 15: into that. Mark Wayne Mullin's confirmation is going on over

247
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 15: at DHS, and Ran Paul has already gone medieval. We're

248
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 15: gonna pull that clip here in a moment. Also, Save America.

249
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 15: So much going on in the Save America Act, and

250
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 15: they're revving up for this big debate. Also, John Solomon

251
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 15: did break last night early this morning this blockbuster news

252
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 15: about the Chinese Companiest Party direct involvement in the stealing

253
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 15: of the twenty twenty election, understanding they had already launched

254
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 15: the pandemic. This is all from April of twenty twenty.

255
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 15: John Solomon be with us later Winton Hall with a

256
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 15: new blockbuster book on artificial intelligence that should hopefully wake

257
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 15: up the Conservatives. Went in Hall, one of the great

258
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 15: writers and a partner and colleague of Peter Schweitzer, myself

259
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 15: for I don't know, last fifteen twenty years will be

260
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 15: with us in the second hour, Eric Bowling. We also

261
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 15: called it yesterday about this pipeline in Saudi Arabia. That

262
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 15: is a new sense of focus. Brent oil went up,

263
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 15: I think to one hundred and eight dollars. Israel has attacked,

264
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 15: has hit Iranian oil facilities. This war is getting harder

265
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 15: and tougher and tougher. Last night massive bombing run near

266
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 15: the strait of her moves with bunker busting bombs to

267
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 15: make sure they clear it out, which looks like I

268
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 15: don't know, maybe in anticipation of an actual takeover of

269
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 15: carg Island. We're gonna get to all of that today

270
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 15: in much much more in the war or of Natasha.

271
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 15: Owens will take us out be back in a moment.

272
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 7: Thank god.

273
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 13: The bottle.

274
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 12: What about a Keen Riley Charlotte too.

275
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 17: Had s.

276
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 13: The road.

277
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: Here's your host, Stephen K.

278
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 15: Baan, Okay, welcome back. Make sure one of the simplest

279
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 15: ways to understand where we are, and particularly in this

280
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 15: turbulence in your financial stability, take your phone at text

281
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 15: ban and b A. N. N o En at nine

282
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 15: eight nine, eight ninety eight. You get the ultimate guide

283
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 15: from investing in gold and precious metals in the Age

284
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 15: of Trump. And it's no obligation. It's totally free. All

285
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 15: the information in Birch Gold, it's free. Remember we have

286
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 15: over the last six years since we start with Birch Gold.

287
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 15: In I don't know June of twenty twenty, I think

288
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 15: gold was out of fifteen hundred dollars, twelve hundred dollars

289
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 15: something like that. Try to immerse you in information. It's

290
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 15: not about the price of goal, it's about the process

291
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 15: that drives it. And now gold's up around close to

292
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 15: five thousand, although it's bouncing around day Oh, I didn't

293
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 15: even get to talk about the Federal Reserve is going

294
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 15: to be talking about interests making an interest rate call

295
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 15: this afternoon. That would normally be the lead stories. I

296
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 15: think it's number eight now because every things going the world.

297
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 15: That's why you need to understand the basics on capital

298
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 15: markets and the basics on the dollar to make your

299
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 15: decisions about physical goal. So go check it out today.

300
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 15: The Mark Wayne Mullens hearing was supposed to be you know,

301
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 15: it's supposed to be a layer from Mullins. It started

302
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 15: off far from it. Just moments ago, We're going to

303
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 15: play a clip that was so explosive that Fox News

304
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 15: cut away. Let's go ahead and play this, A senator

305
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 15: ran Paul about Senator Mark Wayne Mullet.

306
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 6: Good morning everyone.

307
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 17: I entered the Senate the same year that Representative Gabby

308
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 17: Giffs was shot. I knew then that the state of

309
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 17: political rhetoric was encouraging violence. I think it's imperative now

310
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 17: more than ever that the leaders in our country disavow

311
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 17: violence and lead by example. Through the years, I've personally

312
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 17: have been exposed multiple times to political violence. I was

313
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 17: in the right field batting cage when the craze shooter

314
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 17: on lead nearly two hundred shots at our congressional baseball practice.

315
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 6: I'll never forget Steve's calise.

316
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 17: Valiantly drag trying to drag his body away as the

317
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 17: gunman continued. Later that year, a Trump hating fell and

318
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 17: attacked me from behind in my yard. I was just

319
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 17: straightening up from picking up a tree limb. I was

320
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 17: wearing noise cancelation headphones. Never saw him coming, running pell

321
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 17: mell down the hill.

322
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 6: I was struck in the back.

323
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 17: The force of the blows sent us through the air

324
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 17: nearly ten feet down the hill until his shoulder impaled

325
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 17: me as we hit the ground.

326
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 6: Six of my ribs were broken.

327
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 17: Three of the ribs were completely separated, such that for

328
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 17: weeks the ends of the ribs would grind upon each other.

329
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 6: My lung was damaged.

330
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 17: For weeks, I could inhale, but not have the rib

331
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 17: strength to exhale.

332
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 6: I developed two pneumonias.

333
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 17: The pain was such that I could only sit up

334
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 17: in bed by tying a rope to the foot of

335
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 17: the bed and pulling myself up. But even then the

336
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 17: pain was that of a thousand knives. Over the year

337
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 17: of recovery, I began to call up blood. I underwent

338
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 17: removal a part of my lung. Complications led to an

339
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 17: infection in the space between my lung and chest wall.

340
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 17: I spent a week in the hospital having the infection

341
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 17: levaged every six hours through a chest tube. Recently, Senator Mullen,

342
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 17: if you have time to listen, you were confronted by

343
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 17: constituents that were angry because you voted against my amendment

344
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 17: to stop all funding.

345
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 6: For refugee welfare programs.

346
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 17: Instead of explaining your vote to continue these welfare programs

347
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 17: for refugees, you decided to transfer the blame. You told

348
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 17: the media that I was a freaking snake and that

349
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 17: you completely understood why I had been assaulted. And I

350
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 17: was shocked that would justify and celebrate this violent assault

351
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 17: that caused.

352
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 6: Me so much pain in my family, so much pain.

353
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 17: I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their

354
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 17: political opponents is the right person to lead an agency

355
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 17: that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use

356
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 17: of force. You might argue you were mad and upset

357
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 17: about being confronted by your constituents.

358
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 6: The senator, all your constituents are justifiably upset with him.

359
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 17: By now, most of America knows that the Somali welfare

360
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 17: fraud in Minnesota stole over nine billion dollars.

361
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 3: But instead of defending.

362
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 17: Your vote you took to continue the vote to continue

363
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 17: these refugee welfare programs, you chose to lash.

364
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 6: Out at me.

365
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 17: You went on to brag that you'd already told me

366
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 17: to my face that you completely understood and approved of

367
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 17: the assault.

368
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 6: Well that's a lie. You got a chance today.

369
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 17: You can either continue to lie or you can correct

370
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 17: the record. You have never had the courage to look

371
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 17: me in the eye and tell me that the assault

372
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 17: was justified. So today you'll have your chance. Today, I'll

373
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 17: give you that chance to clear the record. Tell it

374
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 17: to my face, if that's what you belie, tell it

375
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 17: to me today. Tell the world why you believe I

376
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 17: deserve to be assaulted from behind, have six ribs broken

377
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 17: and a damage lung.

378
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 6: Tell me to my face why you think I deserved it.

379
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 17: And while you're at it, explained to the American public

380
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 17: why they should trust a man with anger issues to

381
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 17: set the proper example for ice and Border Patrol agents.

382
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 17: Explain to the American public how a man who has

383
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 17: no regrets about brawling in a Senate committee can set

384
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 17: a proper example for over two hundred and fifty thousand

385
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 17: men and women who work at the Department of Homeland Security.

386
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 15: Okay, we're gonna grab the response in a moment. I

387
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 15: don't know, I take it that's a no vote. I'm

388
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 15: just kidding. This is how it's starting off today. We're

389
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 15: going to get back to Mullen's response. That's a great

390
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 15: way to start a confirmation here, and isn't it. We

391
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 15: have Warner remember and Intel, I think it's Tom Cotton

392
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 15: is the chair. Mark Warner is the is the ranking

393
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 15: member for the co chair, however they call it for

394
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 15: the Democrats. He's tying in. He's going after our intelligence.

395
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 13: Leaders.

396
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 15: Let's go ahead cut into that, and then I'm gonna

397
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 15: take a brow come back when we take a break.

398
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 15: Let's go ahead and hear that.

399
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 12: Thank you, mister chairman, and let me also offer a

400
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 12: good morning to our witnesses. Let me also join you,

401
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 12: mister chairman, by and begin by thanking literally the tens

402
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 12: of thousands of men and women across America's intelligence community

403
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 12: who work every day to keep our country safe. Their

404
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 12: work is by necessity secret, That is the nature of intelligence.

405
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 12: But that is also why hearings like this one matter

406
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 12: so much.

407
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 3: Over the past.

408
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 12: Year, we have seen a series of developments that raise

409
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 12: serious concerns about the erosion of safeguards that protect both

410
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 12: our democracy and our security. And nowhere is that more

411
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 12: worrying than when it comes to the integrity of our elections.

412
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 12: For decades now, our intelligence community has warned that foreign adversaries,

413
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 12: including Russia, China, and Iran, are actively seeking to shape

414
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 12: the outcome of American elections. These efforts have included cyber intrusions,

415
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 12: disinformation campaigns, and covert influence operations designed to divide Americans

416
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 12: and undermine our confidence in our democratic institutions. Protecting our

417
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 12: elections from these threats should be one of the intelligence

418
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 12: community's highest priorities. The d and I is supposed to

419
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 12: be coordinating intelligence on foreign election interference, warning the American

420
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 12: people about adversaries seeking to undermine our democracy, ensuring that federal, state,

421
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 12: and local officials have the information they need. Congress even

422
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 12: required the creation of a Foreign Line Influence Center inside

423
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 12: the office of the DNI to coordinate the intelligence community's

424
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 12: response to foreign election interference and ensure that these threats

425
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 12: are properly shared across the government. That is the mission

426
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 12: Congress assigned to the DNI. But while foreign adversaries are

427
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 12: actively probing our democratic institutions, the DNI has eliminated the

428
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 12: Foreign Malign Influence Center and does not have a designated

429
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 12: official coordinating the response to election threats, and for months,

430
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 12: the Committee has reportedly has repeatedly requested briefings from the IC,

431
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 12: briefings that are required by law on legitimate foreign threats.

432
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 6: To the midterms. We have received no response.

433
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 12: Now that's silence I believe should concern every member of

434
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 12: the Committee because it clearly demonstrates the I is not

435
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 12: interested in protecting American democracy by combating foreign influence. Instead, unfortunately,

436
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 12: we have seen the D and I involve ourself in

437
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 12: purely domestic matters. Last month, we saw Director Gabard personally

438
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 12: participate in a law enforcement raid to seize election ballots

439
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 12: in voting machine records in Fulton County, Georgia, a raid

440
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 12: tied to an election that the president lost six years ago.

441
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 12: When the warrant supporting the raid was unsealed, it showed

442
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 12: something deeply troubling. There was no foreign connection to justify

443
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 12: the involvement of our nation's top spy. Instead, the predicate

444
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 12: for the warrant was a slop of debunked conspiracy theories

445
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 12: that had already been rejected repeatedly by courts, by independent investigators,

446
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 12: and even by George's his own Republican Secretary of States.

447
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 12: Yet the nation's top intelligence officer official was personally involved

448
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 12: in this operation. This raises one very serious question. If

449
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 12: the intelligence community is not being deployed to mobilize get

450
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 12: to mobilized against foreign threats, why is it being deployed

451
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 12: at all on a domestic issue. The denai's appearance at

452
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 12: this rate, as well as their involvement inceiving seizing voting

453
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 12: machines from Puerto Rico, suggests something that should also alarm

454
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 12: every American. I believe an organized effort to misuse her

455
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 12: national security powers to interfere in domestic politics and potentially

456
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 12: provide a pretext for the president's unconstitutional efforts to seize

457
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 12: control of the upcoming elections.

458
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 6: Don't take my word for.

459
00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 15: It, Okay, hang on, okay, we're going to come back

460
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 15: to that. Welcome back to the slop shop here at

461
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 15: the warm You heard it right there. I told you

462
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 15: this day was going to be intense. It's all inextricably

463
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 15: linked the war, the stealing of the vote. John Solomon's

464
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 15: explosive report of why the intelligence community HID found out

465
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 15: knew about HID, and we'll have to find out if

466
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 15: they hit it from the Intelligence Committee explosive, explosive, explosive

467
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 15: all day, and the President United States, the Commander in

468
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 15: Chief will be hitting to Dover Air Force Base to

469
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 15: receive the honored dead of casey one three five of

470
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 15: the refueling a plane that crashed. Short commercial break, We're going.

471
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 13: To come back.

472
00:26:45,720 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 15: It gets even more intense on the other side.

473
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: Confuse your host, Stephen k.

474
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 15: Bas Okay, we're streaming both. We're streaming both Intel and

475
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 15: I think we're streaming DHS because DHS has gotten quite

476
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 15: controversial programming. Note, I keep telling the Stephanie Rule show

477
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 15: at eleven is the best summer of the news day.

478
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 15: It just announced that Morning Joe's they're taking away an

479
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 15: hour of Morning Joe, that nine to ten hour and

480
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 15: giving it to Stephanie Rule. Also at noon, Menendez gets

481
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 15: her own show. I hate to say that called both

482
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 15: of those that those who the new stars are at MSNBC.

483
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 15: So watch watch those two slots because they are not

484
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 15: exactly pro MACA, but very very sophisticated in the coverage,

485
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 15: particularly Rule about the investment banking kind of a mini

486
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 15: kind of a mini war room with an opposite political take,

487
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 15: but very smart. Bowling's with us Eric intact. Well, I

488
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 15: got Bowling. Let's can I play the response of Mark

489
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 15: wayn Mullens. I want to play this before it gets

490
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 15: so so we as we left Senator Ran Paul he

491
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 15: was going back to the time he was attacked, and

492
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 15: then he got into the whole situation about approval of

493
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 15: some appropriations bill and how Mark Wayn Mullens had voted

494
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 15: for h the refugee resettlement program to give all the money.

495
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 15: And you got to out these guys. This is how

496
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 15: they hide behind it. They all want to talk to

497
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:24,959
Speaker 15: their mag and then they're voting for the stuff. Ran

498
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 15: Paul called him on that, and then he went back

499
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 15: and forth. So ran Paul goes, hey, look, you're a

500
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 15: coward to my face. Can you say this? That's where

501
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 15: he left the dramatic hang. Let's go ahead and play it.

502
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 15: I'll get Eric Boling's thoughts on this.

503
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 18: Simply addressed that I said I could understand because of

504
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 18: the behavior you were having that I got to understand

505
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 18: why your neighbor, why the neighbor did what he did.

506
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 13: As far as my.

507
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 18: Terms is snake in the grass, sir, I work around

508
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 18: this room to try to fix problems. I've worked with

509
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 18: many people in this room. Seems like you fight Republicans

510
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 18: more than you work with us. I did address those remarks.

511
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 18: I did explain your gimmicks by day midment you put

512
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 18: forth and as far as me saying that I invote violence.

513
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 18: I don't. I don't think anybody should be hit by surprise.

514
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 18: I don't like that. But if I do have something

515
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 18: to say, everybody in this room knows, I'll come straight

516
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 18: to you. I'll say it publicly and i'll say it privately,

517
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 18: but I'll never say it behind your back. So for

518
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 18: you to say I'm a liar, sir, that's not accurate.

519
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 18: And I got proof to say that, because you have

520
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 18: spent millions of dollars in my campaigns against me, because

521
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 18: we just don't get along. However, sir, that doesn't keep

522
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 18: me at all from doing my job. I can have

523
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 18: different opinions with everybody in this room, but it's Secretary

524
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 18: of Homeland. I'll be protecting everybody, including Kentucky, as much

525
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 18: as I will my own backguard in Oklahoma. It's bigger

526
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 18: than the partisan bickering that we have. It's bigger than

527
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 18: the political differences we have. The truth is I have

528
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 18: a job to do and I don't like to fill

529
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 18: at anything at all.

530
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,479
Speaker 13: So I can set it a side.

531
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 18: If you're willing to set it aside, let me earn

532
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 18: your respect, let me earn the job.

533
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 3: I won't fail you.

534
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 18: I won't back down from a challenge, and I'll also

535
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 18: admit when I'm wrong. I'm not perfect. I don't claim

536
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 18: to be perfect. I make mistakes just like anybody else.

537
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,479
Speaker 18: But mistakes, if you own them, you can learn from

538
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 18: them and you can move ahead. And I'll make that

539
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 18: commitment to you, ranky mammer Peters Chairman Paul, I do

540
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 18: thank you for this opportunity. It is a humbling experience.

541
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 18: A kid from Westville, Oklahoma that grew up with the

542
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 18: dad that worked hard.

543
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 15: So bowling. He didn't back down. I kind of told

544
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 15: rand Paul, hey, sorry, not sorry your thoughts before we

545
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 15: talk about oil, sir.

546
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 19: I think what's happened is I think Trump went the

547
00:30:54,600 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 19: anti antithesis of Christino. Attractive woman, female, although tough. I mean,

548
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 19: if you really take her policy, she was she was,

549
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,239
Speaker 19: she was pretty badass. But Mark Wayne Wullins, the other

550
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 19: guy the mail stands up to the union guys, it's

551
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 19: it's it's it's very I would say a lot of

552
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 19: optics there that that are that are gonna work for

553
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 19: for for homeland security. I you know, I can't claim

554
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 19: to know if Mark Wayne Mullen is truly Maga and

555
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 19: he seems to be pro Trump. But if he's truly Magga,

556
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 19: and I defer all things like truly Magga to you,

557
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 19: Stephen K. Bannon, who was the original architect Maga.

558
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 15: But I okay, we'll find out about his thoughts on

559
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 15: massty potais and I'm sure they're going to go through.

560
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 15: This is the Republican's supposed to take care of him. Man,

561
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 15: it start out exposedly, uh confirmation hearing from Mark Wayne

562
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 15: Ullens in the Senate. You've got the intel and that's explosive.

563
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 15: I want to go back to something we talked about

564
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 15: the other day. You talked about a couple of things

565
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 15: have happened overnight. You talked about and said you the

566
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 15: first person say, hey, look, one thing you got to

567
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 15: be looking at is that the Saudis, who are now

568
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 15: kind of saying President Trump, you got to hit harder.

569
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 15: Have this seven million barrel a day pipeline that goes

570
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,479
Speaker 15: across into the Red Sea. I think that's just been

571
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 15: put un notice by the Iranians as a target. I

572
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 15: think Bloomberg's reported that this Red Sea thing could really

573
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 15: heat up. I want your thoughts on that. Also, these

574
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 15: railis I believe last night hit some of the facilities,

575
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 15: containment facilities of the Iranians, that those targets are supposed

576
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 15: to be off the grid, but I don't think they are.

577
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 15: A lot going on the last twenty four hours in

578
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 15: oil and some of the big companies are getting increasingly nervous.

579
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 15: How's the trading been and what are the thoughts from

580
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 15: folks in the industry, Sir, This.

581
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 19: Huge, huge day today because all night and early this

582
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 19: morning crude are both crewed and North Sea Brent were lower.

583
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 19: And then the Iranians said every single Gulf state boil platform,

584
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 19: refining capacity, they were all potential targets started to drift up.

585
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 13: And then Saudi A Ramco.

586
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 19: You're right, Steve, when Saudi Ramco, the Saudi state slash

587
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 19: private public entity which is mostly private mostly the state

588
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 19: decided to shut in their refinery, the big refinery, the

589
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 19: Chemraf refinery. It's a massive refinery that sends a signal

590
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 19: that doesn't matter what side of this year on, These

591
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 19: Middle Easterners are gonna pull in production. They're gonna pull

592
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 19: in oil production, They're gonna pull in petroleum product production, gasoline, heating,

593
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 19: old jet fuel, but tane, all moost helium. They're gonna

594
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 19: shut that in because it drives prices up. We were

595
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 19: trading about one hundred and two dollars a barrel in

596
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 19: the Brent. This morning it's up one hundred and ten

597
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 19: dollars a barrel. Right now, WTI is training around ninety

598
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 19: nine dollars a barrel.

599
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 13: We're gonna hit a hundred.

600
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 19: The reason why this is relevant, Steve, is all last

601
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 19: week when we were talking, I said four dollars is

602
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 19: a lock, and people are like, oh, bowling, you're full

603
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 19: of aids. We'll see what happens. I said, no, it

604
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 19: doesn't matter what happened last week. Even if it ended

605
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 19: then four dollars was locked. I'm not going to say

606
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 19: four dollars and fifty cents national AVERAGEUR gasoline is. I

607
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 19: would say an eighty percent likelihood of happening. That further

608
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 19: drives up inflation. We had a price PCI number come

609
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 19: out today saying that inflation was higher than expected, and

610
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 19: that doesn't even include the March run up in oil.

611
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 19: We're going to have higher inflation. We have massively higher

612
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 19: gas prices. Steve I talked to the head trader. I

613
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 19: can't say his name. I'll call him one of the

614
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 19: head traders at Conaco was a massive oil production company

615
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 19: and one of the best, he says, And when oil

616
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 19: was lower yesterday and into last night for today's trading,

617
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 19: he said, oil is going to be up one to

618
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 19: two dollars a barrel going forward, and the equity markets

619
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 19: don't even understand what that means yet, meaning they're kind

620
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 19: of whistling past the graveyard. With higher oil prices. It's

621
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 19: going to really, really, really be a.

622
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 13: Damper on.

623
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 19: In the spending and therefore on stock prices, so equities

624
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 19: will likely go down in response to it. So all

625
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 19: things right now, unfortunately, are pointing to higher oil prices.

626
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 19: And then when you start playing around carg Island, carg Island,

627
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 19: I totally.

628
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 13: Disagree with this.

629
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 19: I think we should protect carg Island because that's that's

630
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 19: really the mean asset that the Iranians have to export oil.

631
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 13: Now.

632
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 19: I know we want to bring them to their knees,

633
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 19: but we also don't want to price oil price shot

634
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 19: going into the mid terms at so basically the expense

635
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 19: at the expensive.

636
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 15: Well, I don't think, I don't think. I don't think

637
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 15: any plan for car, any plan for Carg Island is

638
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 15: not to is not to destroy the old facilities. I

639
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 15: think it's to take seas and hold and then the

640
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 15: United States. It's the first step to your plan, brother,

641
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 15: It's the first step to say, hey, where are your partners.

642
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 15: Since we control Cark Island, we'll sit down and negotiate

643
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 15: how we're going to partner with you. I just want

644
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 15: to go back to something that is very important though,

645
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 15: with everything that happen overnight, all the bombing, and people

646
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 15: should know this thing is getting more and more intense

647
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 15: every day. They brought in the bunker busters to make

648
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 15: sure they could clear out I think any any deliberate

649
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 15: assault to shut down the golf and the horror moves

650
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 15: and things around carg Island, that's what the bombing for.

651
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 15: But the Ranians announced that every facility of Qatar n

652
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 15: Uae is in play. But also Saudi Arabia tell us

653
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 15: about that refinery because you talk about shut ins, they

654
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 15: only got so much place to store it. They're actually

655
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 15: shutting down production right now. That's where Brent Skyrocket went

656
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 15: six bucks to one hundred and nine dollars and West

657
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 15: Texas Intermediate is at ninety one cents below one hundred

658
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 15: bucks that we look like we might have had this

659
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 15: thing and kind of figured out, and some ships are

660
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 15: going through and it could be some process. All of

661
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 15: a sudden you get anti process. Tell me about that.

662
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 15: Tell us what's why is this refinery with Saudia Ramco

663
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 15: is so important? And why was the closing of that

664
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 15: or the shutting in of that a trigger to really

665
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 15: drive prices up today?

666
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 19: Because it's the Saudis. Saudi's becoming play. They're the big

667
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 19: dog in the region. Saudi's produced around seven million barrels

668
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 19: a day, around produces three million. They have the capacity

669
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 19: to produce more. But when the Saudi start well again,

670
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 19: We've talked about this again, Steve. They're everyone in the

671
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 19: Middle East, Saudi or Oman, Kuwait, Iraq, Iran, they're all

672
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 19: benefiting from one hundred dollars barrel of the West Texas

673
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 19: is West Texas Intermediate one hundred and ten dollars barrel

674
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 19: of Brent krude. So when they shut in four hundred

675
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 19: thousand barrels a day, yeah, that's gonna be storage that's

676
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 19: going to build up. On the Saudis side. Saudis have

677
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 19: plenty of production. They can ramp up or down quickly.

678
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 19: But when they shut down the refinery, it tells the

679
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 19: world that there's an issue in the Middle East. I

680
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 19: believe that they don't really need to do that, but

681
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 19: I think they're they're kind of playing both sides here.

682
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 19: They're playing us like, yeah, Trump, go hit them harder. Well,

683
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 19: that drives oil prices higher. Oh well, we're worried about

684
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 19: the Ranians. Let's shut in some production. Let's shut in

685
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 19: some refining capacity. That drives the price of oil higher.

686
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 19: And as I said, the trader for Konico said, these

687
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 19: people aren't realizing that this could potentially be one to

688
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 19: two dollars per day higher in the oil price. That

689
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 19: is a massive drag on the US economy. I think

690
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 19: it's really playing into the Middle East's hands. And that's

691
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 19: why I don't think we should hit carguid Steve. I

692
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 19: think we should hit all their infrastructure, hit their highways,

693
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 19: hit their manufacturing capabilities, hit their telecom hit hit every industry,

694
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 19: and that you get them to their knees. But protect

695
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 19: the oil production facilities.

696
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 15: Okay, I would just saying cargo I think is production.

697
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 15: But I don't need to be about semantics. One thing

698
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 15: before I let you go the Presidented States laid this

699
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 15: argument out the other day. This morning, he tweeted it

700
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 15: out again, about the straight about the escorts, about the

701
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 15: US Navy, the ally saying we're not interested, the Germans

702
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 15: saying it's not our war. Correct me if I'm wrong.

703
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 15: This is coming from the Red Sea, whether whether you're

704
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 15: taking the pipeline across Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea

705
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 15: and taking it up through the what is it they

706
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 15: called the the Gate of Tears, that very small gap

707
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 15: that gets into the Red Sea and then up to

708
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 15: the Suez Canal. This is all Asia in Europe, and

709
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 15: I realized that oral economy is inextricably linked. But this

710
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 15: doesn't really have that much to do with the United

711
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 15: States of America. We're still independent, and we can get

712
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 15: very totally independent if we wanted to. This is all

713
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 15: Europe in Asia, and they are not. They're not coming

714
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 15: to our rescue. They're not They shouldn't say rescue. They're

715
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 15: not coming to jump in here on the CITU. Forget

716
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 15: the bombing of Iran, and forget the Israelis going to

717
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 15: uh into Lebanon, the central fact of the Gulf, and

718
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 15: are Arab allies and quotes they're they're not They're they're

719
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 15: not addressing, are they? Sir? President Trump's right. I think

720
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 15: this argument ought to be made more. I think this

721
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 15: ought to be put before the American people, like, what

722
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 15: in the hell are we in the rich countries of

723
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 15: Europe are giving us the middle finger?

724
00:39:59,160 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 4: Sir?

725
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 19: Agree, and they don't seem to want to play ball.

726
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,919
Speaker 19: I will just take issue with one thing you said there. Yes,

727
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 19: it does affect the Europeans in Asians more because that

728
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 19: they're more indebted to the Middle East on their oil

729
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 19: because of location. But oil, like money, is fungible, generally fungible. Okay,

730
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 19: so we pull stock off, stock piles off of Brent.

731
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 19: Eventually these people are going to realize that it would

732
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 19: it would be more cost efficient to buy another form

733
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 19: of oil, another another grade of oil, even if it

734
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 19: costs me ten dollars a hoard of ship. If I've

735
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 19: got to go around go around the.

736
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 15: Hornabatic, We're gonna We're gonna take a break and I'm

737
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 15: gonna hold you over, Eric bowling back in a moment, we.

738
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 13: Will buy the rock God we were Joe Ball.

739
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 15: Let's take down.

740
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 3: Let's here's your host, Stephen k Ban.

741
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 13: Okay.

742
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 15: In the intelligence they're focused not on the Chinese Commis

743
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 15: Party infiltration into this. They're focused on the war room

744
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 15: Posse and the great Patriots in Georgia, getting to the

745
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 15: bottom of the twenty twenty election, the steel and Tulca

746
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 15: Gabbert's involvement in that. In fact, I'm gonna go to

747
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 15: Neil mccaban a moment on Capitol Hills covering the hearing.

748
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 15: You're gonna hear some explosive they're they're now coming for

749
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 15: Kurt Olsen and they're coming for the patriots in Georgia.

750
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 15: You watch. We'll get to that in a second. Bowling.

751
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 15: Here's what I understand. I'm a simple man, so make

752
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 15: this a simple explanation if you can. The golf they

753
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 15: provide the oil for Asia for our enemies, and the

754
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 15: Chinese Commists. Part of the greatest existential threat in the

755
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 15: world to United States America is the Chinese Commists Party.

756
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 15: And today John Salmon is gonna be here and we're

757
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 15: gonna talk about a pandemic, and we're gonna talk about

758
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 15: stealing the twenty twenty election. And they're directly involved. And

759
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 15: we have the Intelligence Service in the United States, not

760
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 15: only knew about it, but covered it up. The deep

761
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 15: state even got Mark Warner up there talking about foreign interference.

762
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 15: Of course, what they're doing now is trying to do

763
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 15: the jiu jitsu move to show that Tulsa Gabbart's involved

764
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 15: in Georgia with the great patroots down in Georgia, Caroline

765
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 15: Jeffers and Garland Favorrita and all of them fighting down there.

766
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 15: And by the way, it's the Georgia election. More going

767
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,720
Speaker 15: on right now that we normally recover, but we can't

768
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 15: because we're covering. We just can't play it because there's

769
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 15: too much going on. But you see, they're attacking, attacking, attacking,

770
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 15: and we allow we have two carrier battle groups. If

771
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 15: we're spending two billion a day, President Trump's making the argument.

772
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 15: It's not that we're saying, hey, we're going against. President

773
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 15: Trump's making the argument now every day, Like I I

774
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 15: called for the Allies to come down here because the

775
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 15: Red Sea, the Suez Canal, the Strait, the Straight or

776
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 15: Horror Moves, the Persian Gulf. That's all to provide Asia

777
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 15: and Europe their energy resources that they can actually have

778
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 15: a economies. The United States of America is and can

779
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 15: be quite quickly. Energy independence. This is why Guyana and

780
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 15: Venezuela and hemispheric defense. These aren't random things Trump's doing.

781
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 15: So I don't understand. Just tell me why we give

782
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 15: a damn, Eric, I understand it's fungible. It's all one

783
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 15: world market. But that's you, guys oil traders, trying to

784
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 15: trick us into believing you're doing God's work when when

785
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 15: really the oil traders are not hedging the future. It's

786
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 15: just a bunch of speculative guys making a lot of

787
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 15: money on the little guy, isn't.

788
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 13: It, sir, No, not at all.

789
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 19: No, no, no, there is some some speculation, but the speculation

790
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 19: in everything, including the stock market, any sort of market,

791
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 19: there's going to be speculation.

792
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 13: But the oil market is so.

793
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 19: Vast, it's massive, one hundred million barrels a day, one

794
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 19: hundred dollars. But think about the numbers that are flying

795
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 19: around now. The speculation surely adds, but also adds downward

796
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 19: pressure when things start to turn the other way.

797
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 13: These speculators will push that.

798
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 19: Oil price down when things when they get the all

799
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 19: clear signal, So it cuts both ways. The reason why

800
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 19: I'm saying, when there's a supply disruption, massive supply disruption

801
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 19: like what's going on right now with a straight of

802
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 19: horror moves the Strait of Oman or or on the

803
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 19: other side of the Red Sea, or threats that Middle

804
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 19: Eastern countries are shutting in production and or shutting and

805
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 19: refining capacity. The whole world feels it because you can

806
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 19: exchange an oil for an oil. Venezuel's Middle Eastern crude

807
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 19: is a heavier sour crude. West texasan Media is known

808
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 19: as a light sweet crude, Mexico light sweet crude, Brent

809
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 19: North Sea Rent light sweet crude. Those are the premium blends,

810
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 19: so you can change it. You can change the refinery,

811
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 19: but at a cost differential. So if it's if all

812
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 19: of a sudden becomes I can't get the heavier Middle

813
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 19: Eastern crude and I might have to go to the

814
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 19: light sweet West Texas and Immedia or Brent, they.

815
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 13: Have to go buy it. They have to.

816
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 19: That's why it pushes the price of the oils that

817
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 19: we are trading and using right here in the United States,

818
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 19: which only makes it more important for us to be

819
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 19: completely independent of Middle Eastern or any China or anyone

820
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 19: any of them. So when we do that We're not

821
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 19: beholding to any Middle Eastern country at all. Again, we

822
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 19: can do in the perfect metaphor, we can tell the

823
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:23,720
Speaker 19: Middle Easterns to go pound sand.

824
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 15: Last thing before I let you go. For people thinking

825
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 15: to the day the shutting end of the Saudia Ramco

826
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 15: massive refinery. Clearly Brent went through the roof of West Texas.

827
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 15: It looks close to one hundred dollars a barrow. Just

828
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 15: once again explained to the audience why that is such

829
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,439
Speaker 15: an important event in this war.

830
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 19: It is because it signals to the world, not just

831
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 19: oil speculators. I told you I had a conversation with

832
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,919
Speaker 19: the head trader of Conaco. He's not a speculator. He's

833
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 19: literally hedging the production of Kanaco, who believes oil prices

834
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 19: are going higher because the Saudis, the Omanis, the kuwaitis

835
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 19: shut in production.

836
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 13: They're all doing this. Why because they have to know it.

837
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 19: There's virtually no human beings at refineries or oil production facilities.

838
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 19: It's not that they're protecting their people. There's no one

839
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 19: working in these facilities. They're highly automated. They're doing it

840
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 19: because it sends the signal to the world, including traders

841
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 19: at the biggest, one of the biggest oil trading desks

842
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 19: on the planet, Conoco, that they're going higher and they'll

843
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 19: do things to get oil prices higher, like it or not.

844
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 19: That's why we're beholden to these sobs in the the

845
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 19: least when we don't need to be four dollars and

846
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,280
Speaker 19: fifty cents a gallon I believe is baked in already.

847
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 19: Now people are going to argue with that, but I'm

848
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 19: going to be right on four dollars. Probably next week

849
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 19: it's four to fifty and that is a massive drag

850
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 19: on our economy.

851
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 13: That's why this is so relevant.

852
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 19: That's why every news story across every platform, whether it's

853
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 19: business or not, is leading with the oil price on

854
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 19: what's going on in the least. Can you imagine a day, Steve,

855
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 19: when we don't care what Saudi says or the Ranians say.

856
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 13: Can you imagine how free that day will be for us?

857
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 13: It's it's potential.

858
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 15: Well, like I said, the Middle East of a side

859
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 15: show in the Israeli situation, a side show to a

860
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 15: side show. We've got every every tool in the toolbox

861
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 15: to make that happen. That we don't have to worry

862
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 15: about it and we should not have to worry about

863
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 15: the United States, particularly when the Europeans that live upon

864
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 15: this just gave us the middle finger, and they still

865
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 15: want a security guarantee. They still want American young American

866
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 15: men and women, of which six are coming home.

867
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 13: I just I just add one thing to you.

868
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 19: Right, you're right about all of this higher prices. Stick

869
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 19: it to China. Absolutely. However, I would say, yes, let's

870
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 19: just play this game. Let's play this out. Put China

871
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 19: on their knees too, as well as Iran, except we

872
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 19: got midterms up. If midterms weren't happening, I'm on board

873
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 19: with everything now. I just I'm very very concerned for

874
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 19: majority's not just majority in the House.

875
00:47:54,440 --> 00:48:01,240
Speaker 15: Majority's sometimes sometimes your fox, your fox molding, your fox

876
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 15: formation comes through bowling. Anyway, I love your brother.

877
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 13: Just kidding.

878
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 15: Well, we'll continue this conversation. Maybe a trade off today.

879
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 13: I'll get.

880
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 15: No, no, because you were bragging to me this morning

881
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 15: about how much you're lifting, lifting like four hundred pounds. Right,

882
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 15: You're you're a beast, You're a savage three four bowling

883
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,919
Speaker 15: people real quickly, where they go, where they get, where

884
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 15: they get your new show.

885
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 19: I'll tell you what you know what you do today, folks,

886
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 19: watch the show on rad Real America's voice at four o'clock.

887
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 19: We're going to be all about to save act and Oil.

888
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 19: And then right after I'm interviewing a captain, I'm sorry,

889
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 19: the owner of a shipping company that runs ships through

890
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 19: the Straight and Hord moves. He's gonna tell me why

891
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 19: he's not running ships right now. It has nothing to

892
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 19: do with anything we're talking about. Doesn't care about insurance.

893
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 19: And I'll clip that with you, Steve and you're alady.

894
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 19: You can watch some of that top well, we'll.

895
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 15: See it at four o'clock. Short break, going back to Capitol

896
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 15: Hill next
