steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
unidentified
Mega Media.
jake tapper
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
steve bannon
It's Saturday, 14 June, Year of the Lord 2025.
Jack Posobiec in the house.
We're getting ready.
were commemorating Commemorating all day today, the 250th anniversary of the birth formation of the United States Army.
Mo Bannon will be hopefully here.
She's down in Dallas at the Turning Point Women's Conference.
She's flying in today just for this, and then she's going to fly back late tonight.
Honored to have General Mike Flynn joins us.
General Flynn, first off, You gave your entire professional life in service of our nation.
What does today mean for you?
michael flynn
Today is a huge, huge show.
It's somber.
It's actually a very somber day because 250 years of sacrifice of all the things that so many people gave all the way back to the very foundation of this country before we even had a, you know, really a constitution per se that was...
So we have men and women serving in the United States Army in about 180 countries I know right now.
And certainly some of them are in harm's way tonight in different parts of the world.
So it's a somber day for me.
It's a good day.
You know, I wish everybody that served in the United States Army sort of a happy birthday, if you will.
And know to keep your bayonet shut because that's the other part of being in the Army or being a veteran is we've got to maintain.
You know, who we are and what we're all about as a nation, and our nation is under attack right now.
steve bannon
Talking about under attack, the Financial Times, the lead story is Israeli strike on Iran ignites new Mideast war.
Sir, as someone that served in a couple of Mideast wars, do you agree with that headline?
Is this just a surgical strike to take out the nuclear processing and nuclear bomb-making capability of the person?
michael flynn
The last couple of days I've been putting out these updates.
You can go to at Jen Flynn, G-E-N Flynn.
So, yes, this is a much broader struggle.
And in terms of Israel, Israel has finally got.
but also human intelligence sources and networks.
And this is also a warning to the rest of the Arab world.
What Israel is doing to Iran right now, trust me, the Israelis will Hold it.
unidentified
Hold it.
steve bannon
Hold it.
Hang on.
General Flynn, hang on.
Hang over a second.
You say protect themselves.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
They went on this solo, right?
Didn't tell us.
There's some discussion about that, but they made a unilateral decision.
But the assumption of that is that America was going to be – all the air defense is not a big part of the air defense, including Arlie Burke.
Class cruisers in the Eastern Med right now predicated upon America's involvement as a combatant in this right now, sir?
michael flynn
Yeah, I mean, yes.
So the answer to that, Steve, the big answer is yes.
I mean, when we provide part of that intelligence capability, whether it's land-based, space-based, so that intelligence capability puts us in a camp, in the Israeli camp.
And to me, rightly so.
I mean, I don't have any issues with that because...
unidentified
Hang on.
steve bannon
Hang on.
You don't have a problem with somebody saying unilaterally?
You have a negotiating process.
And whether it was working or not, President Trump said he's making progress.
Let's have another meeting on Sunday, right?
And obviously he said a 60-day, and it was beyond the 61st, but he had Wyckoff and these guys going to Muscat in Oman to sit down for another 6th or 7th round.
The Israelis are up front.
They made a unilateral decision to go.
Once you make a unilateral decision to go, Because if you let people make, like the Ukrainians last week attacked the Russians, if you let these guys make unilateral decisions, you're automatic.
We don't have a treaty with Israel.
We don't have a treaty, unlike NATO, where we actually have a treaty that's got Article 5, one attack, all attack.
We don't have a treaty with Ukraine.
We don't have a treaty with Israel.
We have a special relationship.
But isn't that special relationship put on hold if they make a unilateral decision?
Because then you're allowing somebody – that's wag the dog.
You're allowing them to draw you in as a combatant.
Is that not correct?
unidentified
Yeah.
michael flynn
So the big word that you use there is if.
So first of all, I want people to understand is Iran was probably days away from matching the capabilities from ballistic missile capabilities with a nuclear – We have a
psychotic regime that has not only talked about the annihilation.
of the nation-state of Israel, but also talked about how we, as the great Satan, need to be annihilated from the planet.
So these are psychotic leaders.
I have video now that has been sent to me from inside of Iran that shows the people of Iran celebrating this attack by the Israelis.
Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, period.
Now, back to your bigger question about I think that whoever's using those words needs to really rethink those and be very careful about who's using them.
If it's the Israeli regime or the, I'm sorry, if it's the Israelis that are using it, then, you know, we have to be suspect.
Because if we're providing intelligence, and we are, then we are then, you know, not implied, but specifically involved in supporting the attack itself.
So there's a broader regional conflict that is playing out right now.
The other part that I did not add in this morning that I think people need to be aware of, because I'm going to be carrying this later today or tomorrow, is what's China's role?
Because the Chinese are the biggest beneficiary right now of what is happening globally, specifically in the region of the Middle East, because of their One Belt initiative.
And they have massive amounts of resources that flow into Africa, flow into Europe, and flow back through the Persian Gulf and back through Iran.
So China's a big beneficiary.
And for President Trump recently to have cut a deal with Xi, where I guess he's going to continue to allow Chinese students into our universities who are ripping us off every single day of intellectual property and going back.
We spend $10 billion on a weapons system.
A hundred million.
I mean, because they've got the blueprints.
I mean, so there's some things that are happening that we all need to understand globally.
steve bannon
How many years of your life did you give?
How many years did you actually serve, not just in the military, but before deployed into war zones in the Middle East, Iraq and Afghanistan?
How many years?
michael flynn
I have five years in direct combat operations of my life.
steve bannon
And you became, you were the senior intelligence officer, and actually when intelligence was active, it's actually almost like paramilitary in Afghanistan, is that correct, sir?
michael flynn
Yeah, Afghanistan and Iraq and East Africa, that's right, that's right.
We did a lot of reforms to the U.S. intelligence system in order to be able to destroy terrorist networks, Al-Qaeda principally, and then, of course, Al-Qaeda in Iraq.
steve bannon
And that's how you – Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
michael flynn
And senior military intelligence officer in the Department of Defense heading up one of the largest intelligence agencies in the world.
The other thing in between fighting on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, Steve, I also served as the head of intelligence for all of U.S. Central Command.
And at that time, we were 27 nations, all of East Africa, from Egypt down to Somalia, east all the way over to Pakistan and the Central Asian state.
So I have a lot of experience in this region, a lot.
And that region matters.
steve bannon
And how many close colleagues today on the 250th anniversary of the Army, how many close colleagues?
Did you lose in combat either KIA or injured such that it dramatically changed their lives?
How many gave all or were wounded horribly in those many years in combat that you served?
michael flynn
Oh my God, Steve.
Too many.
Too many.
And the numbers are beyond what...
That's why I say...
You know, I'm not anti-war, but I'm anti-stupid war.
And so the United States of America— Okay, what's the hang on here?
steve bannon
I don't want to walk you into a trap here.
So I'm going to get to the punchline.
You, I think you would agree that the beginning of both those conflicts, not like Biden got out, but in an orderly way, a smart way.
But in Iraq, with the weapons of mass destruction and all that nonsense, these were wars we kind of got into.
And, you know, 10, 15, 20 years later, we're still in them.
My question about this is precision of language and action.
I feel very uncomfortable because, guess what?
As you know better than anybody, General Flynn, Persia ain't Iraq and Persia is not Afghanistan.
This is the same power that went up against the Greeks and the Roman Empire 5,000 years ago, okay?
this is an ancient civilization.
To get involved in a war...
We need to be precise to know that the Israelis determined on their own, and now let's talk about the bait-and-switch.
It's just not about going after the nuclear command structure, all that.
This was a decapitation.
They attempted a decapitation for regime change.
I have no problem with that.
Jump in here.
I have no problem with that.
If they're going to take the whole thing and then we make a decision independently, oh yes, maybe we do share intelligence.
unidentified
Maybe we'd get the Arleigh Burks over to protect Tel Aviv.
steve bannon
Right now, I'll be blunt.
This is just a sloppy.
when Fox was up there with the pom-poms.
We are inexorably drawn into a conflict that we're not making clear decisions about now.
If we're going to be in this...
unidentified
Let me jump in.
michael flynn
Let me jump in.
unidentified
Okay, go ahead, sir.
michael flynn
That's fine.
Here's what Trump needs to do, okay?
What Donald Trump needs to do, and I understand the celebration in Washington, D.C. and the parade and all this wonderful stuff.
Happy birthday, Army.
I got it.
What Donald Trump needs to do, President Donald J. Trump needs to do is he needs to go to the podium with very, I mean, very clear objectives about what the hell we're doing.
And I mean, none of this.
I got special envoys doing this.
I got special envoys doing that.
Very clear objectives.
Tell the American people, this is what we are doing.
And he needs to do that like today.
steve bannon
You're saying today, okay, General Flynn, I know you've got to bounce.
I've got to hold you just for the beginning of the next segment.
I've got General Mike Flynn, Real America's Voice, Grace Moe, we're putting out, he's got a tremendous tweet.
People ought to go on his Twitter because every day he's putting in basically a battle damage assessment as one of the most brilliant minds we have.
That's very close, obviously, to President Trump, the entire MAGA movement.
Jack Posobiec joins us.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
They're breaking news coming out of Israel, even as we speak.
jack posobiec
Breaking news.
This is from the Washington Post, citing an Israeli Knesset member.
We hope that Washington agrees with us that eliminating Iran's nuclear program requires toppling the regime.
So you see now it's all connected.
steve bannon
Ah, they're back and filling, baby.
They realize the war room's calling them out.
That wasn't part of the pitch.
Anyway, General Flynn's got great thoughts here, great ideas.
The Financial Times of London came in today with a big article that said, guess what's becoming the world's stable currency?
It would be gold.
And for the Financial Times of London to become gold bugs is pretty shocking.
Make sure you go understand Rio, understand the Rio Reset, understand the BRICS nations.
Birchgold.com slash Bannon.
The end of the dollar empire.
Four years.
We've given you now the seventh free installment.
It's your homework assignment.
Let's check it out today.
We're going to return in a moment.
General Mike Flynn, Jack Basobig, Laura Loomers on deck.
All on a Saturday in the War Room.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
General Flynn, I know you've got to bounce.
If you were advising the president, you would tell him today in all the celebration, all the commemoration, you've got to come to the podium, you have to address the American people.
What would you recommend that the president of the United States tell the American people, sir?
michael flynn
Yeah, so I would, you know, he needs to bring in some really key advisors and he needs to develop a couple of overarching strategic objectives of what America is doing.
And I'm talking about for the Middle East, for Eastern Europe, for the home front.
And for China, all the things that he's been talking about for the last couple of months and certainly what he campaigned on, he needs to give clear, very clear objectives.
And he needs to do that like tonight.
I mean, he should address the nation in a very sort of State of the Union type address because there is a war footing.
And I want to be very clear with your audience and Congress, who still doesn't get it, and the establishment, they still don't get it.
We're in a full-blown Marxist revolution here at home and abroad.
And it is very clear to me.
So the president needs to have objectives that talk about what are the things that we are trying to achieve in the Middle East?
What are the things that we are trying to achieve in Europe?
What are the things that we are trying to achieve against this adversary called China?
And I'm talking about not, you know, we're going to make a deal.
We're going to do this.
It's going to be great.
No, these have got to be very clear things that are common sense.
And the American people go, OK, Mr. President, we're with you.
So, I mean, he's got to.
Smart team.
He's a smart guy.
You know, he's got great advisors around him.
He needs to do that.
And he needs to do that pretty quickly because the situation in the Middle East is not going to get out of control.
It is going to gain control and gain steam.
And we're going to see it play out because the Iranians, I'm sorry, the Israelis have had enough.
You know, enough is enough, like I say sometimes on my expose.
The Israelis have had enough of the spewing.
Of the death cult of Iran.
And they're now going to destroy the military, industrial, and security state complexes of Iran.
And they're in the process of doing it.
And it's going to come with sacrifice.
steve bannon
Are they going to be able, in your professional judgment, as one of the most senior intelligence officials in this nation, can the Israeli military do what you just said, destroy the death cult, destroy, as they just came out, a guy from the Knesset just said, you can't take down the nuclear apparatus unless you take down the command and control, unless you take down a decapitation move.
Can they do that without direct involvement of the United States of America, sir?
michael flynn
They have a limited capability and capacity.
And at a certain point in time, they are going to need reserves.
And those reserves...
But the most important are the intelligence capabilities that the United States intel community has.
Air defense is a tactical capability.
There are satellite stuff that's up there.
I mean, all that kind of stuff, yes, Steve.
unidentified
But the answer to your question at the beginning was no.
steve bannon
Following your logic, Then President Trump is essentially saying we're going to get involved in another Mideast war.
I'm just connecting all your logical comments.
You're saying when he addresses the nation, since Israel is bound and determined to do this, that you just agreed that they can't do it without our involvement, direct involvement.
Then his address to the nation is prepare us to get involved in an extended Middle East war on a foe that is an ancient civilization.
This is not Iraq.
It's not Afghanistan.
This is Persia.
Am I correct?
michael flynn
So here's real quick.
You got troops listening to the war room right now, sitting in the Middle East.
And you know what they're saying to themselves?
And they're laughing at the podcast going, we're already at war.
We're here in the middle of this thing.
We have stuff flying over our heads right now.
So for the troops out there that are listening to the war room, know that there are people with common sense that are here in this country going, We got your back and we're going to have your back.
I know that the president has their back, but we have to face it.
We're already deployed over there in many places.
We have already fired at the Houthis.
We have already supported the attacks against Hezbollah and Hamas.
We're in the middle of this fight against the Iranians because we just are.
We have forces and capabilities and things that we have provided to the Israelis.
So we can't kid ourselves and wink and nod anymore.
We do not want to get involved in a Middle East, another Middle East conflict that just mires us down and breaks our bank, which is, frankly, it's already crushed.
So there's got to be some really smart dialogue here.
And we've got to be very careful because the wolf, Steve, as you know, and you've talked about this a lot, the wolf that's inside the hen house is China.
And China is the one thing that gives me that if I lose sleep at night or I wake up in the middle of the night.
You know, with thinking, holy crap, it's all, it's about China.
And that's what I, strategically, that's where my head stays, because they're the ones that want to have the 21st century as the Chinese century, period.
steve bannon
General Flynn, give your social media so people can go get your sit reps every day and everything you're putting out throughout the day, sir.
michael flynn
Yeah, they can go to at Jen Flynn, that's G-E-N, at Jen Flynn.
On X, and if I post there, I typically cross-post over about seven other social media platforms.
Or they can go to GeneralFlynn.com, which is my website, and I, you know, I post up my, you know, I got a book on fifth-generation warfare.
I mean, that's what we're involved in.
So, anyway, go to there, and you can find me.
steve bannon
It's fantastic.
We had Boone Cutler on last week.
Sir, thank you so much for taking time away on a Friday.
Let's get Laura Loomer in here.
Laura, first off, You had this very scary post-op about the embeds from the Persians.
But first, today is no King's Day.
You've got these neo-Marxists.
You've done a better job than anybody at pointing out what's happening in the streets of L.A. Why are you in the nation's capital today, ma 'am?
laura loomer
Well, I'm here in the nation's capital.
I came from Florida because I wanted to document these protests.
Loomer Unleashed has been on the ground for the last...
And, you know, this is something that has existed for a very long time.
And unfortunately, what I've seen is that you don't have a lot of lawmakers who have a true understanding about how the communists and the Islamists, and these are Iranian proxies in Hamas and Hezbollah who have decided to descend upon our nation's capital.
And carry out acts of Islamic terror.
And look, you don't have to be a Muslim to carry out an act of Islamic terror.
We saw the assassination of two Israeli embassy officials outside of the Jewish Museum by a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in Washington, D.C., who shouted, free Palestine, while he was wearing a keffiyeh.
And that's exactly what is happening today.
You have a group called Refuse Fascism.
That is busing people in from mosques and from community organizer locations in New York City.
And in about 30 minutes, those buses are going to arrive here in our nation's capitals, and they're going to march towards the White House to create chaos and incite violence against President Trump and his supporters who have decided to come here today to celebrate President Trump's birthday, Flag Day, and the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army.
steve bannon
Are you concerned about security?
I mean, we're concerned about security for you.
You shouldn't be doing this without security.
But are you concerned about the security situation in Washington right now?
Because I thought, Posos here, we talked about the center of gravity of the No Kings protest.
It looks like it's going to be in Philadelphia and the intelligence division of the police have already put out a really a scary information bulletin that said, hey, you should be prepared for mass casualty event, a mass casualty event potentially in Philadelphia today.
You think it's that level of concern here in D.C.?
laura loomer
And one of the reasons why I think that they're planning on doing something violent is because, look, let's be honest, most of the security is going to be focused on our nation's capital today because it's where President Trump is going to be.
They're having a military parade and you're going to have mags and you're going to have security.
You're going to have all types of security officials here protecting the president, especially right now with these airstrikes between Israel and Iran.
We know that the Iranians have made multiple attempts on President Trump's life, and so we have these proxies here in the United States who could be activated or We feel inclined to mobilize, right, as lone wolves or as a coordinated terror cell.
We know from Tom Homan that Hamas and Hezbollah have terror cells in all 50 states here in our country.
And I had Tom Homan on my show the other day, and we were talking about the two million getaways.
Nobody knows who these people are, right?
They're not necessarily Hispanic illegals.
No, a lot of these people are Islamic jihadists.
People who are likely on the terror watch list who came into our country and they decided to come in in a roundabout manner without detection precisely because they wanted to not be detected.
Not because...
A lot of illegal aliens came in, they were detected, and they're still living amongst us.
They haven't been deported.
And they were, you know, given assistance by the Biden administration, as we've seen.
These people made a deliberate choice to not be detected because they want to carry out acts of terror.
And Tom Homan said on my show, he said it multiple times in other interviews, that this is what keeps him up at night.
It's the fact that we don't know who these people are.
And many of these people are Iranian proxies who are living in our cities.
They are, you know, amongst you at your grocery store, at your community centers.
We just saw a Muslim Brotherhood terrorist, Mohammed Salaman, get activated in Colorado two weeks ago.
And now you're having renewed discussions about designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
What my message is to people is you have to be incredibly careful in places where crowds are gathering today because all these protest movements generally convene together here in Washington, D.C. But the No Kings movement, 50501, and refuse fascism and indivisible.
50501 and Indivisible said that they were not coming to D.C. Why are they not coming to D.C.?
Why do they want to try to divert attention and split up protest groups for the first time in other parts across the country?
Refuse fashion is going to be in D.C., but that is an abnormality that we haven't really seen with a lot of these protest movements before.
steve bannon
What's your social media?
We want people to follow you throughout the day as you do this live reporting in the field.
laura loomer
Yeah, so we're going to be posting videos all day long.
You can follow me on X at Laura Loomer.
You can follow the Loomer Unleashed account at Loomer Unleashed.
I'm here all day going to be, you know, documenting and filming.
These violent protesters and documenting the rise of Palestinian terror movements here in our nation's capital.
These people are wearing Hamas flags, they're waving Hamas flags, waving Hamas bandanas, chanting death to America, and they have united with Luigi Mangione, fanboys, fangirls, and full-blown communists.
steve bannon
We will push it all out today.
Laura Loomer in the nation's capital.
Short commercial break.
Okay, we're jammed.
We've got Taze Girls going to join us in a moment.
A guy that did, I don't know, 16, 18 deployments over there.
We've got Ben Harwell in Rome.
big event there today.
jack posobiec
But first, Yeah, Steve, and what she's talking about, about this joining of elements of anti-Israel, Hamas, or ISIS, or even IRGC elements.
That's exactly what they talk.
Page two of this report talks all about that.
He even talks about in just in 13 May 2025.
So just last month, there was an individual from Melvindale, Michigan, a former member of the Michigan Army National Guard, arrested for attempting to carry out a mass shooting at a U.S. military base on behalf of ISIS.
Provided materials was provided, attempted to provide material support such as armor piercing, ammunition, drone reconnaissance, and the construction of Molotov cocktails to the foreign terrorist organization, but was thwarted due to counterintelligence.
They're tracking all of this.
This is the best part, by the way.
I love when Mayorkas would come out and say, we don't have any assessments of that, or Ray will come out, we don't have any assessments.
And then you go and you get the actual files.
They talk about the exact same stuff that you're seeing right here on The War Room because they know these are the real threats.
And as Lara just said, and as we saw here in D.C. just a couple of weeks ago, These individuals who have become radicalized by the Hamas war with Gaza are now conducting these strikes out individually here in the United States.
steve bannon
Todd Bensman, the first book was about how jihadis are coming across the border.
We have no idea who Biden let in here.
There's 10 million.
There are a lot of bad hombres in there.
jack posobiec
And you're seeing the Mossad trucks.
They had these pickup trucks with the flatbeds on the back.
And there's pictures that are now coming out that were filled with drones.
And so the drones are on the back of the truck, and it's these small boxes that they have up, and then the back of the panel, it's like a panel truck.
And then the box is open, and all the drones pop out.
steve bannon
Today's going to be a day.
jack posobiec
One truck.
One truck is all you need.
steve bannon
We've got to be ever vigilant.
My point is that we're getting our eye off the ball of cleaning these sanctuary cities, so we're going to get back.
Tej Gill, Tej, how many deployments did you do in what they call in the region, sir?
tej gill
16. 16 between Iraq and Afghanistan.
steve bannon
16 deployments.
And by the way, you meet the guys like Tasia, the pipe hitters.
The guys are 10, 12, 14, 16. You heard General Flynn.
I know you had the highest regard for him as we do.
Jack Facts wants to put some in a second, have some commentary on what he had to say.
Is General Flynn correct?
is the basic assessment of the fighters, of the war fighters that are in the region is that these wars have never stopped and we're actually engaging in a war right now, sir?
The folks in...
tej gill
Yeah, that's the assessment.
They really haven't.
We still have guys in Syria.
We have guys in Iraq.
We're still giving $40 million or $1 billion a week.
I think it's 40 million a week to the Taliban still.
And you're absolutely right that this, It's sloppy, just like the exit out of Afghanistan.
And I agree with General Flynn on the point that Trump needs to get on the air and lay out the objectives of this operation, which we know are regime change, right?
It's not just a simple strike to disable nuclear facility like Israel did to Iraq.
This is a very extensive operation.
all-out war.
steve bannon
This is your professional...
This is your professional opinion, right?
Your professional opinion, when you assess what you're seeing, is that this was definitely a decapitation strike?
tej gill
Oh, yeah.
100%.
Yeah, yeah.
They took out the general staff.
They took out the scientists.
They're taking out the heavy water facilities.
They're taking out the enrichment facilities.
It's not just a simple, quick, get in, get out.
This is war.
And Iran has declared war on Israel.
And I just saw a post on that saying that they're preparing the largest drone and missile strike in the history.
So we'll see.
But I don't think this is going to be a quick thing, one and done, and it's over and we're going to move forward.
This is going to get ugly.
And Trump already committed to protecting Israel at all costs.
So let's hope this...
We voted for peace.
And that's what Trump ran on, was ending the war in Ukraine, ending this conflict between Israel and Gaza.
Now it's Israel and Iran.
So it's ramping up, and it's going to escalate, and it's going to get out of control, because Israel is a small country.
They can't stand these strikes.
Ballistic missiles.
Iran is overwhelming Israel's air defenses.
They're shooting salvos of 50 ballistic missiles at a time.
And those ballistic missiles have decoy warheads that they can deploy just like a helicopter or a fighter jet deploys chaff.
So each missile is actually like a multiplier, like equivalent of two or three missiles because they have decoys on them.
And we're shooting them down.
Our Navy's shooting them down.
Jordan's shooting them down.
United Emirates shooting them down.
The Europeans have aircraft in the air shooting these missiles down.
It's a large endeavor to defend Israel against these ballistic missile attacks.
steve bannon
This is my problem with this.
It's not unilateral.
They did it with the predicate that the Americans...
jack posobiec
They want to have it both ways.
steve bannon
There's going to be a counter-strike, and also, I think we need to be very precise.
Let's go through what General Flynn said.
If we are going to get into a war, the West, and that would be the United States, if we're going to get into a war with the Persians, we have to be very precise with the American people about exactly what this means.
We're stumbling into this right now.
Jack Posobiec, your assessment of General Flynn.
jack posobiec
Well, I think General Flynn is correct when he says that we are being pulled into this war.
That we are being pulled in, and that's exactly what's going on, because this is not what the American people voted for.
This is not what President Trump campaigned on.
I was with him when he went to those campaign rallies in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, all the way up in front of the autoworkers.
He didn't say we're going to go to war.
No, he said we're going to go to economic war against the Chinese Communist Party, and we're going to fight for your jobs.
But what he also said is we're not going to send your boys to go over and die in some desert for some country that doesn't have a direct ability to threaten us.
They don't have the ICBMs.
They don't have the ability to strike.
This is about putting the homeland first and putting America first.
So do we have allies?
Sure we have allies.
We have great allies all over the world.
South Korea's an ally.
Japan's an ally.
Taiwan's an ally.
Israel's an ally.
We get all that.
But the whole point of the MAGA movement, the inexorable DNA, the lifeblood of MAGA is putting America first.
And that's why I think the president has very smartly, very smartly kept the United States out of direct engagement in this fight.
steve bannon
As you said yesterday.
We're sure you've got Arleigh Burks.
I disagree with that.
I agree that the president's trying to do the best he can.
But right now, when you have, as he just said, you have Arleigh Burks that deployed, you know this, got the agent's missile system.
jack posobiec
And the THAAD interceptors.
steve bannon
Tel Aviv would be five times worse this morning and more coming.
jack posobiec
What I'm saying, though, Steve, is that you've got people right now, and I'm going to say it, these talking heads on Fox News with the blow-dried hair, and they're saying, oh, we need to go in there and take out the missile sites.
steve bannon
You're talking about offensive combat operations based around American air assets, right?
Not in support of Israel, with tankers.
You're talking about direct combat sorties.
What they're pitching is they want America.
They're telling President Trump behind the scenes.
Any way they can actually take out the rest of the nuclear facilities and the command and control structure to finish the decapitation, they need direct involvement of American combat fighters, right?
They need direct involvement of American combat sorties, correct?
jack posobiec
Well, keep in mind, those Arleigh Burks also have the capability to launch cruise missiles.
So they've got cruise missiles, and then we've got the carrier strike group.
The Carl Vinson is over there right now operating just outside of the Gulf of Asia, just outside of the Gulf itself.
Certainly within distance, you've got those B-2 bombers that are down on Diego Garcia, and you've got these people up on Fox News who never served a day in their life, and you've got people, the great heroes like Tej and all of his brothers that are still in harm's way that are sitting there going, wait, what's going on here?
steve bannon
Tej, do any of the guys that you know, the men and women that were the tip of the spear, do any of them want us to get back into a gunfight in the Middle East, sir?
tej gill
No.
Actually, I just got a phone with a guy this morning, a guy I served with, and he was like, dude, enough's enough.
We've got to stop this thing.
But there's still guys all over the Middle East, and they're doing not a lot.
Guys are over there scuba diving and stuff like that.
It's a waste of forward deploying our men over there.
If they're going to be over there, use them and let them do what they're trained for.
And you can't win.
If this escalates into a full-scale war, you can't win it with airplanes and missiles alone.
You have to put boots on the ground, and that's what we don't want.
And if we do get sucked into something where we have to put moves to the ground, then Trump should charge them.
Just like we're charging for tariffs, he should tell Israel, hey, it's $10.
Pay off our national debt if you want us to defend your airspace.
If you want us to put boots on the ground in Iran, then pay off our national debt completely.
$35 trillion, and we'll win this war for you.
Otherwise, do it yourself.
Just like the tariffs, we should start charging these people.
No more freebies.
steve bannon
Come back to a second.
I want to go back to boots on the ground.
With all the great air theoreticians of the 20th century, even bombing Nazi Germany and the industrial strength of Germany, To the ground.
We could not defeat Nazi Germany unless you had major ground from Russia and from the United States, correct?
The Japanese are the same thing.
getting ready to invade with four million people and take a million casualties.
Eventually you have to put combat troops on the ground.
jack posobiec
You look at Ukraine right now.
Go look at the cauldrons in eastern Ukraine right now.
It doesn't matter how many drones we send over to Ukraine, how many missiles, a javelin, all this, that, and the other thing.
You know how the Russians are taking ground?
Because they have more soldiers.
It still comes down to that.
Even with all the technology we have and space base and laser base and hyperspace base and whatever Elon's got, it still comes down to boots on the ground.
steve bannon
We're reporting this week that the Russians have lost now 1 million casualties killed or wounded.
And 650,000 in the last six months since November 4th of 2024.
jack posobiec
You know what it comes down to, Steve?
It comes down to the boys in green that are right down here on this parade route today here in our nation's capital.
The American Infantry Fighting Unit.
That is the single most powerful tool in the toolbox of any nation, of our nation.
steve bannon
Tej, if you had an opportunity to talk to the President today at the parade.
Give me a minute.
What would Tej Gill say as a representative of a ton of these SEALs that did 10, 12, 14, 16 deployments, sir?
tej gill
Give us transparency.
Give us clarity.
Give us the mission.
Lay it all out.
Tell us what we need to do, and then we'll go do it.
But, you know, I understand this attack needed the element of surprise to work, but now the cat's out of the bag, so get on the air, just like General Flynn said, and lay it out.
Give us clarity.
Give us the mission and give us the objectives and let's do it.
Otherwise, let's stay out of it.
That's what I would say.
steve bannon
Hang on for a second, Tasia.
I want to have you hang around because I've got to talk coffee in the next segment.
The Financial Times of London.
You know, I quote this paper a lot.
It's the most important financial paper in the world, read by every key decision maker in politics, national security, everything.
It's lead story today and called The Big Read.
How gold became the world's refuge from uncertainty.
Wow, where did we hear this before?
Let me think.
Oh yeah, in the war room about five years ago.
This I'm quoting now from the sub-headline.
In an era where core assumptions about the global economy are being questioned, gold has once more become an anchor, especially for central banks.
Now more than ever, go to birchgold.com, end of the dollar empire.
You see what the Financial Times is reporting?
On the 14th of June in the year of our Lord, 2025, we've been talking about this with the folks at Birch Gold to you, the war room posse, for five years.
Why have we done that?
Because it's very important for you to understand why gold has been a hedge for 5,000 years of mankind's history.
About the length of time that the Israelis have been fighting the Persians, the Greeks have been fighting the Persians, the Roman Empire has been fighting the Persians.

jack posobiec
All right, so out of Israel, we've got, and we've been covering this the whole past three days, basically, but Bibi Netanyahu releasing a new statement saying that Israeli jets will now be So prior to this we had heard obviously about the nuclear sites and military members were targeted with these assassinations.
steve bannon
This is a regime trap.
jack posobiec
Now it's full on for regime.
steve bannon
What in the hell is happening in Minnesota, dude?
jack posobiec
So I've got Alpha News, the great Liz Collins from over there.
And we've got, so it looks like an assassination.
And the, the speaker, uh, Speaker Emirata, so the former speaker, Melissa Hortman, and her husband, this is confirmed, were killed in an overnight shooting, supposedly in their own- There was another shooting of Senator John Hoffman and his wife.
And according to Alpha News, this is all breaking.
They were shot in their homes, still alive at this time.
Reportedly, the shooter is on the loose in an area called Brooklyn Park outside the area there.
steve bannon
You said assassination.
Is this a manhunt?
Everybody in Minnesota, Minneapolis is going to have Lindell here in a minute.
Use the word assassination.
Is this directed to their politics as Democrats?
jack posobiec
When you see something like this in their homes, supposedly the individual was impersonating law enforcement, it appears to be a political assassination.
steve bannon
Good lord.
jack posobiec
But we don't know.
We don't know anything beyond that.
steve bannon
