Episode 5243: President Trump Declares Iran Agreed To Have No Nuclear Weapons
Steve Bannon and guests analyze President Trump's declaration that Iran agreed to possess no nuclear weapons following a 12-day campaign allegedly destroying its military leadership. They detail the strategy of "negotiating with bombs" to secure oil flows via potential troop deployments to Karg Island, contrasting this success with chaotic domestic initiatives like tariffs. The discussion highlights grassroots MAGA efforts in Virginia against $28 million in Democratic funding and questions whether diplomatic exits or further escalation will define the conflict's conclusion. Ultimately, the episode frames the operation as an inflection point achieved through decisive force rather than traditional diplomacy. [Automatically generated summary]
The Ottoman Turks were in charge, and I think it's I think this whole thing is very scary.
I don't think we really have an ally in the entire region.
We just don't.
I continue to say Israel's America's greatest ally, but Netanyahu does what he wants to do.
I don't trust any of the Arabs as far as I can pick them up and throw them.
They're double-dealing us all the time.
Lindsey Graham, their big buddy, had a couple of bourbon branches, as you remember, and went in there and started, you know, went on Hannity, I think, was yelling at them.
They had to join the fight.
And that's why I think it was so important this morning.
Wherever we are in this conflict, the Saudis are now saying, hey, we're in for the fight.
Unleash us and we've got your back, which I think is a whole nother complexity as President Trump tries to, I think, thread the needle, finish the job of taking down, defanging, declawing the traditional military in Iran, Eric, and then figure out some way that we can work our way out of here without sending the Marines to Carg Island or without sending the 82nd Airborne to take some beachhead near the Straits of Hormuz.
I couldn't agree with you top to bottom, Qatar, the Middle East.
Even Israel serves their own purpose, not the United States most of the time.
Agree with you top to bottom.
Steve Bannon, that's why you got to watch War Room, folks, because War Room, I tell you, every time you show up, you leave smarter than when you entered that chat and that moment.
As you know, President Trump's great phrase: they're killers.
Social media, where do people get you?
Because your insights into one of the most important markets in the world, not the bond market, not the stock market, the commodities market for oil has been really amazing in this entire, what, 23, 24 days.
Let me say what they're specifically not liking is chaos.
And in every area this president has touched since last year, it's been chaos.
Start with Doge, right?
By May, Elon Musk was in a fight with him and was out.
By November, they'd mothballed the whole thing.
Go to tariffs.
In April, they started tariffs, this big, big thing, up and down and up and down on some countries, not on other countries.
By February, the Supreme Court said, no, you can't do tariffs.
Mass deportations.
Last summer, they started sending thousands of ICE agents into cities.
In February, they're pulling them out of Minnesota.
Vaccines.
Same sort of chaos going on.
Courts just said, hey, you can't do anything you've been doing.
And now we come to chaotic management in a war.
Okay?
It's absolutely astonishing to see, as General Mattis brought out in the beginning of this segment, it's astonishing to see the chaotic way this president is running a war.
And I think Americans are like saying, hey, this guy can't do the job.
What the Chinese did with their critical minerals and rare earths, the Iranians are now doing with the Strait of Hormuz.
And they are showing Trump and the world we are capable of causing more pain than you elected Democratic leaders are prepared to take.
And we'll see to what extent that proves to indeed be the case.
But certainly Trump over the last day, backing down on his 48 hours or else we're going to blow you up implies that he understands that major economic consequences in the Gulf and more broadly are not exactly his friend.
The only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news.
I mean, the New York Times, you read the New York Times, it's like we're not winning a war where they have no Navy and they have no Air Force and they have no nothing.
And we literally have planes flying over Tehran and other parts of their country.
They can't do a thing about it.
For instance, if I want to take down that power plant, that very big, powerful power plant, they can't do a thing about it.
It's like, take me.
That's all they can do.
And yet if you read the New York Times or if you watch ABC fake news or NBC fake news, you'd say it's a close battle.
It's not a close battle.
They're totally defeated.
You know, we killed the Navy in, would you say, three days, Pete?
Gone.
In fact, I was a little upset with Pete.
I said, why didn't you save the ships?
We could have used them, right?
He said it's more fun shooting them down.
But the Navy was wiped out in a very rapid order.
Pretty impressive for you guys, you champion wrestlers, right, when you hear this stuff.
But if you read the news, you don't hear this.
You know, you read like, oh, they're doing wonderfully.
They're doing terribly.
They're wiped out militarily.
They are dead.
unidentified
Is your goal, what you're trying to accomplish, tactics is how you do it.
What he's saying is the administration is all tactics and no strategy.
They have no goal.
They have no mission.
They have tactics, which is just they're throwing balls up in the air to distract people, but there's no actual mission.
Never in history has a modern military Iran had a modern military, a modern Navy, a modern Air Force, modern air defenses, leadership, massive bunker.
Never has a modern military been so rapidly and historically obliterated, defeated from day one with overwhelming firepower.
The air campaign that we've conducted, that Israel's conducted alongside us, was one for the history books, truly.
And it's because we have a president of the United States that when he sends his warfighters out to fight, he unties their hands to actually go out and close with and destroy the enemy as viciously as possible from moment one, as viciously as possible from moment one.
And that's why we see ourselves as part of this negotiation as well.
We negotiate with bombs.
You have a choice as we loiter over the top of Tehran, as the President talked about, about your future.
President has made it clear that you will not have a nuclear weapon.
The War Department agrees.
Our job is to ensure that.
And so we're keeping our hand on that throttle as long as as hard as is necessary to ensure the interests of the United States of America are achieved on that battlefield.
unidentified
What is the point of bombing this particular place when you don't have a larger strategy?
Explain to me why you're bombing Carg Island or you're not.
And they don't have a larger strategy.
Trump has that sort of goldfish mentality where he goes.
But I hate to say it, but we killed all their leadership.
And then they met to choose new leaders, and we killed all of them.
And now we have a new group, and we can easily do that.
But let's see how they turn out.
We have really regime change.
You know, this is a change in the regime because the leaders are all very different than the ones that we started off with that created all those problems.
So this was, I think we can say, Jason, this is regime change, right?
Well, someone made an awful lot of money off of it, right?
I mean, we had these trades of a billion and a half dollars that were front-running Trump's announcement.
So first, that is clearly related and deserves unpacking.
Secondly, Trump really wants to talk down oil prices.
He's got a speech coming up in Miami on Friday at the FII conference, the Saudi-sponsored conference.
I expect that that is another opportunity seen by Trump too until the troops are there.
The troops aren't in place yet.
It's around April 6th that those San Francisco troops that are based there are going to actually get to the Persian Gulf.
So before that happens, I think he'd like oil prices lower.
Implies that he's going to give us more public speeches and more posts that'll be about how we're engaging with the Iranians and you know let's let's let's uh, let's find a way um to uh to reduce uh the tensions and conflict.
But look, I mean, the strikes are still happening uh from the United States and Israel against Iran, from Iran in the region.
That that hasn't changed.
And those troops are still heading um to the Gulf and when they get there uh, there is a plan uh for them to be deployed on the ground, some 7 000 troops.
And if that happens, the consequence I mean certainly the Trump intention will be, control the strait, stop the drones from being used um and control the oil uh.
But there there are very serious risks, not least of which are the service men and women's and their lives uh on the ground, but also for the global economy and for the Gulf.
If Trump decides to go ahead and do that unexpectedly, when this war broke out unexpectedly, they started sending missiles to Uae Qatar, Saudi Arabia Kuwait, Bahrain and elsewhere, and nobody thought they were going to.
It is war like jazz, I mean, you know to the point just made, Steve Bannon told me in his first term.
It's not that president Trump doesn't look around the corner, he's not trying to predict a week in advance or a month out, he's just trying to win the next five minutes.
He's just trying to say whatever it takes to win the exchange he's in with the reporter.
And that's what i'm thinking of as I hear that in the Oval Office.
Now we know, and I reported last night for THE Atlantic, that there are some like discussions being held through intermediaries.
Some Middle East or Gulf States are talking, they're trying to get Iran, and there are possibility of actual direct contact in the?
U.s and the Iran, maybe with an arbiter uh, later this week.
So there could be some progress being made, but it's not clear what the president is saying there and any, there's certainly nothing substantial that has been agreed to just yet, unless it literally happened in the last couple of minutes, and Iran has no, no incentive at this moment to give up or share control of the Straight Of Hormuz.
That is how they have a chokehold on the nation's energy supply uh, and a real leverage point, a real political pain point for Trump.
Um he, this is not a war that has gone according to plan, even though there are some real military successes and the president now has an important decision to make.
Does he indeed look for an off-ramp, some sort of diplomatic exit where he can claim sort and sort of win, although he may leave a real dangerous mess behind?
Or does he try to forge forward, which would, at this point, would probably involve some sort of ground invasion, even a small incursion into the, the Carg Island, and which would be very, very dangerous for the American soldiers who would be put at risk?
Here's your host, Stephen K, Battle in uh, everything that went on if I pull up the Daily MAIL, at least the headline and everything that went on in that magnificent.
I want to thank the team COLD OPEN, because look how much has just happened from the morning show, one of the biggest developments, and remember, when we left you in the morning show, they had a line of contact with the field marshal, the Pakistan army in Pakistan, that we said.
We read to you the president's retweet of, I think, the head of Pakistan saying we would host a delegation.
I think that delegation, the Composition is not firm, but I think it's Witkoff, Jared Kushner, I believe the vice president, and maybe even Marco Rubio.
It's this thing to be taking on a reality.
The president, we also said last night, it was very specific when the president said, Hey, yes, I'm not going to bomb the energy infrastructure and I'm not going to bomb the oil infrastructure because I want that to be there on the other side of this conflict for the Iranian people.
So there's some cash.
There's something you can monetize that the country can exist.
As we said, it was very specific when he said that he did not talk about CENTCOM.
And Admiral Cooper's been out today, I guess, with a couple of tweets, pretty blunt.
And, you know, one thing about Admiral Cooper at CENCOM and General Kane at the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, those two guys, if you've seen them in the last couple of weeks, they're no brag, just fact.
They're not, I mean, their house style is different than Pete's, but just got a different house style as you saw right there.
They unleashed again last night, and I think Cooper came out and kind of gave a signal to the Iranian people: you know, duck and cover, look for shelter because we're going to come in and continue to pound and pound and pound.
Now, if you look at it, can we pull up the Daily Mail?
The Daily Mail said a gift.
And there's two things.
Yeah, let's keep that up there for a moment.
There's two things.
It's number one, it is a, it is, he's saying that we'll play the clip again, that they have agreed to already in these conversations that are going back and forth that are quite preliminary, that they've agreed to they will not have a nuclear weapon.
And that is the first time I think they've done that.
I would actually say that's a little bit of crying uncle.
He also says there's going to be a pleasant surprise there or some sort of economic present that we kind of have to think through what it is.
When we get an opportunity, can we have, do we have that yet?
If not, we'll hold it for a second.
But I think in everything that went on today to talk about these, and remember, Turkey's got something they were trying to get going.
The Arab, basically the Gulf Council had their five foreign ministers in Riyadh.
This is what I think is very important about the Saudis.
The Saudis are now telling people they're in for the fight and signaling to the Iranians that they're going to come in as an active ally, regardless of the hits that they've done to their oil infrastructure.
Let's go ahead.
I want to make sure people hear this.
I want to make sure they hear it from the president of the United States.
Let's go ahead and play that clip again.
unidentified
What was the turning point to make you want to pursue a ceasefire a few days ago?
That's that part because you could argue the 12-day war and where President Trump did not want to do regime change.
He was very open about that.
And all those people said, oh, these Panikins, you know, the World War III.
No, we did not want regime change because we didn't want this thing to potentially spread.
President Trump delivered an expeditionary force of Navy fast attack submarines with Tomahawk missiles and B-2 bombers that led what they believed at the time was the total and complete obliteration of the nuclear program.
Turned out that might not be 100% accurate given intelligence they found afterwards.
But still, one of the biggest reasons for this war, in fact, always the number one was the nuclear weapons program of the Iranians.
I want to play that clip one more time because I think we would say, coming from the commander-in-chief in the Oval Office, I would take your number two principles and say, I think this is an inflection point.
Let's go ahead and hear it.
unidentified
What was the turning point to make you want to pursue a ceasefire a few days ago?
He's never going to be boxed in by people saying, you know, tell us your alternatives, what you're doing.
But obviously, something, and I think that was the point of, as we talked about over the weekend on the Saturday and Sunday show, and I want to thank Rav for having us, giving us the infrastructure to do the Sunday morning show.
I think it's very important.
But giving the ultimatum, remember the five o'clock ultimatum, that the Strait of Hormuz will be open or we're going to dust, we're going to take down to dust your energy, your grid, your electrical energy, and most importantly, your oral infrastructure, which means that it'll be 20 or 30 years before Iran's able to pull out of that.
That was a forcing function that clearly brought a lot of people to the table, and CNN and others doubted whether the president is even talking to people.
Now we know he was in conversations.
Now, it's also pretty evident that as he goes through the litany of who they've killed in their high command, this is one of the things we talked on the show in the very first days of the attack itself back in late February, early March, that what they had done on the command and control, not just the technological, but also the Ayatollah and the Mulas on the religious side, but also on the Revolutionary Guard side,
they had gone down to almost battalion level and taken out some folks.
That's starting to show up.
Like President Trump says, we've got to find out who we can even negotiate with.
This is why he has, as I've said a number of times, a lot of respect for Field Marshal, what is it, Munrin in Pakistan, essentially the chief of staff or the head of the Pakistani Army.
President Trump thinks very highly of him.
He looks like he's taking the lead.
And I think has served up to President Trump at least part of the junta.
It looks like a speaker at the House someway from their parliamentary system that actually can potentially make a deal.
That's why I think President Trump keeps saying, hey, we're talking to people.
Now, It's a very, very fluid situation.
But let me reiterate: you've had a couple of points in this war so far, although I now hear that the White House don't want us to call it a war.
They want to call us a military operation, although the president continues and peaked, continue to go back and call it a war because I guess it's a battle or war, but it's kinetic plus that the inflection point of that Saturday night when the Israelis bomb the facilities in Tehran,
the bombing of the natural gas field, the joint ownership between Qatar and the Iranians, is that we now know, or at least the Qataris are telling us, and like I said, I wouldn't trust anything they told me, but they're putting it out over and over again that it took out 17% of their capacity for liquefied natural gas.
What we do know and has been reported as a fact, they have invoked force majeure, kind of this act of war of act of God, to get out of five-year contracts they've got with countries like Italy, Belgium, you know, countries in Europe.
I think also Japan and China, the Chinese Communist Party.
So that's going to have a major impact on those because, hey, they want to renegotiate them at the higher levels.
I would say today is a, well, yesterday when he first said this, but now we know he put some flesh on the bone that we know this thing feels like it's real.
And you had the Israeli, you saw on right before he came on, we did the shift over with bowling.
And Bowling keeps his fingers pretty much on the pulse as any oil trader does.
Israeli TV was breaking that they're working on a 30-day ceasefire so they can actually have some time to have some discussions and try to work something out.
Now, traditionally, if you're winning and you're pounding, just like Putin and Russia, you're very not a fan of ceasefires.
We do know, as Captain Finnell has told us over and over again, does such a good job in these sit-rups, CENCOM is methodically going through and defanging and declawing the conventional weaponry of the regime.
And I think it do it in a brutal fashion, a remorseless fashion.
As Pete, I think, put it, the Department of War and CENCOM, they negotiate with bombs.
They're not there.
This war department is not there to bring teddy bears.
They're there to bring the heat and the heat they're bringing.
Now, while that's being said, and this is from the Iranian point of view, we've heard over and over again the lack of trust they have for the United States because, hey, two times, both in the 12-day war and here, they felt they were in negotiations and they got hit both times.
Trita Parsi, these guys continue to harp on this.
We do know that there's 5,000 combat Marines, fleet Marines, on two different amphibious ready groups, Marine Expeditionary Units coming from both Japan and San Diego that will be in the North Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman and be ready on station, as we call it.
It looks like Midday Friday also reports out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, that 3,000 of the 82nd Airborne, and I think a lot of special operators, special forces types there are basically getting ready to forward deploy.
Their command structure, I think, is already forward-deployed into the region.
So there you're going to have up to eight, nine, 10,000 combat troops ready to go and hold either Karg Island or those islands right there at the beginning of at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz or even the beachhead.
Take that beachhead that we talked about with Alexander the Great where his troops marched in 320, was it 324 BC?
Short commercial break.
We're going to pivot a little bit to politics here.
There's so much going on in the imperial capital.
Of course, war and the rumor of wars always takes priority, as I guess you know that in capital markets.
Geopolitical risk, that's a fancy term for guns, guns, guns.
Okay, the one thing about war, I think one of the ironclad laws we know is nobody knows nothing, as Louis B. Mayer used to say about the making of movies, the role of the iron dice.
The only constant you have is the law of undetended consequences.
Now that comes in the fog of war.
I've had to think things through.
That's why here at the war room, we're trying to be a platform that you have many different voices giving you information.
You process it because you're the most important political entity in this country today, regardless of these political parties.
It's the grassroots MAGA base and the grassroots leaders of that MAGA base.
You have to come to your own conclusions.
And once you come to your own conclusions, we'll move out in a certain direction.
I'm going to get back to the war in a moment, go to the White House, but I want to bring in, you know, I have this phrase, victory begets victory.
Remember that, particularly back in 2021, President Trump exiled to Mar-a-Lago after he had won a presidential election because it was stolen, who had an illegitimate regime.
Never happened in the history of the country.
Had never happened in the history of the country.
And we see what has happened to our beloved country since then.
Now, I think all of us would say it's probably providential that President Trump was able to have that gap and have those four years and think things through and put together a team that could really hit in 2024 and 2025, hitting on all cylinders.
But the damage done to our beloved Republic in those years is incalculable.
That's why the grassroots is so important.
Now, particularly saying people saying, oh my gosh, we're going to lose the midterms.
We're going to lose the Senate.
We're going to lose the House.
We're going to lose it all.
We're not going to lose it if you, the people that watch and listen to the show, the grassroots base of the MAGA movement, determine that your task and purpose is we're not going to lose it.
And I can tell you, I can point in certain specific things I have seen with my own eyes here recently.
Texas.
What you see in Texas is just the grit of these Texans that have dug in and say, we're not going to let our country be, let our state be overwhelmed by this Islamic invasion.
We're not going to let the rhinos win down there.
We're going to fight.
And now you've got Paxson up in, I think, three polls, 16 and 1, 18, another, and another one, eight points.
And so the whole thing of Cornyn smashing him and smearing him with unlimited amount of money hasn't worked.
Why hasn't it worked?
Because of the grassroots.
That's why it hasn't worked.
You look in Georgia.
And I got to tell you, nothing in the, when the history of this era is written, they're going to do stories like this like did the stories of the revolutionary generation.
The Patriots in Georgia have stood in five and six years fighting about the 2020 election through bankruptcy and prison sentences and court and all the money spent on lawyers.
And not just that, the opportunity cost.
They could have been doing so much more with their lives.
And they didn't because they understood in this time and place, it was important for them to stand in the breach and make sure that we set things right.
And that is quite frankly the glory of this grassroots effort in Georgia to get to the bottom of the 2020 election.
Now, one has just come upon us.
All the hand-wringing and all the, hey, it's all over this 10-1, you know, spanberger.
And let's face it, She's a CIA operative.
You can tell how well trained she is, and she's kind of an automaton.
And when people say she's not a nice person, I say, no, she's pure evil, baby.
You're seeing it.
That's how they're going to run things with people like that when they totally take over.
And how do you combat it?
Not big money, not corporate power, not a bunch of feckless former political officials in the state that have essentially abandoned the state.
No, it's the grassroots.
Jeff Ryer, you're the leader of that as the new chairman of the Virginia Republican Party.
And man, what is coming out of there with the grassroots effort on fire, people with no money just saying, we're not going to let this happen.
Everybody said we're going to get blown out on this referendum on the 21st of April.
And you guys said over our dead bodies, we're going to work.
And so far, it's been nothing short of magnificent.
Jeff, can you give us up to speed on what's happening in the Commonwealth?
Well, our grassroots, we turn to them, ask for their help, ask for their support, and boy, have they delivered.
We have all 124 of our Republican units across the state are working to make sure that we get the vote no message out.
And you can travel across this state right now and see not just the signs and the yard signs that the Republican Party of Virginia has put out, but you can see loads of people putting together their own signs and their own efforts with their own themes, customizing it really to their own particular locality.
We've got different units that have actually bought billboards that are going up in different places across the state.
It's been phenomenal the response we've gotten by turning to the grassroots and they're putting it together individually, one effort at a time, and they are doing a great job with we're obviously helping and helping to coordinate, but it's their work and their sweat that's turning this situation around and delivering the vote no message.
The history of the Commonwealth from the Revolution to the Civil War and beyond has been ride to the sound of the guns, and that's what they're doing in the Commonwealth right now.
Tell us, where do you see this going and where do you guys need backup?
Do you need bodies?
Do you need people helping you with text messages?
Like if people go to volunteer, because you've inspired, I've talked to so many people and it's inspirational what's happening, particularly the fact if we lose this, you're going to be digging out of this for a decade in the Commonwealth of Virginia and at the federal level.
If you go to virginia.gop and click on the stop gerrymandering sign at the very top, it'll take you to a form that you can fill out.
And even if you're out of state, we can set you up so that you can make text messages, you can make phone calls, you can help us deliver the message in the state.
We've got our own people who are doing it right now, but boy, it is the more the merrier.
And we need every little bit that we can get as far as assistance for getting the word out because we're doing this really at a tremendous spending disadvantage to the Democrats.
They've already raised $28 million to push the yes campaign.
They've got Barack Obama all over television.
We're relying primarily on our grassroots and they're delivering for us by all evidence.
It's just turning out great.
But others can help out.
Also, we always accept cash donations, of course, and are grateful for it when we can get them, regardless of what size.
But there are things people can do to volunteer, and we'll make sure that they get put to work, no question.
And it'll be valuable work, something that does make a difference, because that's one of the things we're fighting.
The Democrats have been lying to people.
They even lie on the ballot as far as what the referendum does.
So a lot of our time is spent explaining to people what the implications of this would be.
And you're right.
It's 10 years of non-competitive elections in Virginia if this goes through.
Are you telling me the battle is going to come down to, I just want to make sure I can frame this properly.
Big money, out-of-state billionaires financing Barack Obama coming to your home for a 30-second spot versus grassroots MAGA going door to door, knocking and saying and walking people through why this is not simply unconstitutional, that it's bad for the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Is that what this battle is going to come down to?
Yep, that is that is what it is going to come down to.
It is us versus Obama, Holder.
The Soros people put in $5 million to the Democratic effort last week.
We are fight.
And of course, Hakeem Jeffries primed the effort with $10 million.
We are fighting the Democrats, national Democrats, tooth and nail, and because their desire is to turn this into a state that nobody needs to be concerned about any longer.
And it's still a competitive state.
This is still a winnable state for Republicans.
This is not off the map yet, but it's up to our grassroots to demonstrate that.
And we're trying to give them all the tools that they need.
We're going to be doing this every day because there's so much great stuff going on.
There's so many great fighters.
But I got to tell you, Georgia, the Commonwealth of Virginia, the state of Texas, there's rumor in political circles.
Now, we can't totally confirm it, but I think there may be some things popping up tonight tomorrow.
This grassroots effort and the grassroots muscle and basically the grassroots digging into Texas, as has been shown by the polling.
And remember, Paxson's getting just crushed again by big money and these negative ads.
These polling, I think, is starting to get people's attention.
Obviously, Cornyn's past record, but it is not.
I think we're getting to a point.
I think we're getting to a zone that the Cornyn endorsement is not a short thing like people thought it was.
It's put on hold, but you never know if the grassroots keep pushing, it may be on permanent hold.
Uh, let me go to uh, so we're going to get more into that because there's all kinds of you know, victory begets victory, and there are great things going on of people that are just rolling up their sleeves and saying no, we're not going to be steamrolled and give up our country.
Let's go to the White House, Neil McCabe.
First off, Neil, what a day at the White House.
I got a couple minutes here.
Just give me, put us in the room.
What was the feel like at the White House today?
As the president, quite frankly, had this really historic session for the, for I think it was Mark Wayne Miller for his confirmation at DHS, but he talked about the war and just went next level, sir.
Yeah, the president is really in a, I guess he's in a confident mood, I guess you'd say.
He seems very much in command.
This is sort of like Trump the Statesman.
You know, he's got different modes, and this was Trump Statesman today.
And of course, there's word that the 82nd Airborne may be deploying to Operation Epic Fury.
And so the Pentagon is referring all those inquiries to the White House.
White House hasn't confirmed yet, but that would be a brigade combat team and a headquarters unit of about 300 personnel.
And so, you know, the president is confident that he can get a deal done, but at the same time, there are wheels in motion with the 82nd.
And then, of course, those two naval task force with the Marine carriers that should be in Epic Fury in about, well, the first one, Tripoli, will be there at the event about a week.
I'm going to hold Neil to the top of the hour about Save Act.
I've got Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell's going to come in breaking news on the bill about AI.
Joella may join us about the Hill and Valley today that we streamed.
We got so much to get into.
And I've got to get into ICE, the 2026 midterms and what's happening at the airports.
All of that, plus more war updates.
Drones in Ukraine and St. Petersburg.
Don't lose sight of Ukraine.
That's, as you know, another part of this kinetic war.
That baby could spin out of control at any moment.
So don't think there's not activity over there.
George Papadopoulos is also going to join us.
Trevor, Comstock, brother, we need rays of light here.
I just had Jeff Ryer on from the Commonwealth of Virginia to talk about the grassroots.
We got a lot of positive stuff going on because every day in the war room, we're dealing with the most serious and the heaviest topics out there: geopolitics, war, intelligence, capital markets, direction of the country, things that will take place now that'll affect us for 10 years.
So, yeah, I did want to mention that we are currently running our tallow moisturizer sale starting today.
So if you did want to purchase the tallow moisturizer, you can use code Tallow at checkout for 15% off any one-time order.
And of course, for those who don't know, the moisturizer is made with the 100% American Grass-Fed and Finished Beef Tallow and then the Ramanuca honey from New Zealand.
So that's it.
There's no preservatives, fillers, or any chemicals or anything like that within it.
And the tallow is just amazing because it's almost identical to the natural oils that your skin produces.
So it actually absorbs much more deeply as opposed to just sitting on top of your skin, which unfortunately is the case with a lot of other moisturizers on the market.
But then to take it a step further, it's also loaded with vitamins like vitamin A, D, E, as well as K, which your skin essentially needs to stay healthy and radiant.
And I would like to just mention too, it is intended for both men and women.
And you can use it on your face, your hands, your body, pretty much anywhere that you need it.
And it works great for things like dry skin, of course, but also if you have like eczema or any severia or redness, just due to the anti-inflammatory properties, that helps bring that down quite a bit.
And then, of course, it's just amazing for daily hydration.
So if you do want to compare it to other moisturizers on the market, unfortunately with those is they're usually filled with things like alcohols, fragrances, and other cheap fillers that can damage your skin barrier over time.
So it's essentially why we created the product, but we just use clean and simple ingredients that actually work.
And like I said, nourish your skin.
So I encourage people to check that product out.
The reviews have been absolutely amazing on it, especially during the drier months.
So yeah, again, you can use code tallow checkout for 15% off that, as well as the moisturizing and healing bundle, which includes the sacred healing salve.
As a founder and CEO, you're also head of product development.
They're very methodical about testing products, releasing products.
That's why you don't go there and have 100 products.
They're very precise.
But it's also the manufacturing.
This is kind of handcrafted, right?
Just give us a minute on how you guys actually, after you have the formulas, the tests, or anything like that, actually making it itself so it's at the highest possible quality made here in the good old United States of America.
So you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com or you can always just type in sacred human to Google.
And then as I mentioned one more time, you can use code Tallow for 15% off any one-time order for the Tallow Moisturizer or the Sacred Healing Moisturizing Bundle.
And of course, like you said, just let us know if you have any questions.
And I thank you for being so obsessed with quality.
That's what it takes for these companies.
Thank you, sir.
Appreciate your thank you.
Now you see Taj Gill, Trevor Comstock.
Very different people, but all the same, the same quality.
Same with Lindell.
Lindell, give me, I want a minute on these Patriots in Georgia.
You just got back from there doing a governor's run because you're so close to them.
They have inspired the nation five and six years in the trenches, abuse.
And we have an evidentiary hearing on Friday, six years after this, the biggest crime in the history of this nation, of which, sir, you were not into politics at all.
But you said, look, I can see a crime and I can see something that's never happened in the history of this country.
And I'm just not going to sit there.
I don't care if they try to take my company.
I don't care if they try to put me in jail.
I don't care if they try to bankrupt me or kick me out of Walmart or kick me out of all the big box stores.
My pillow will survive because we're tough and we're focused.
This Georgia right now is leading the nation and they did back then too.
These guys are fighters.
These guys were there five years ago in all these states where everybody knew the election was sold and we had to finally break through the biggest cover up of the biggest crime in history.
And they tried to take our nation without firing a shot.
It was easy to be courageous when we know we lose everything regardless if we don't have secure elections.
So that is one thing, everybody.
And yeah, coming back from Georgia, what those guys did for a big donor event down there to help me in Minnesota, win Minnesota, win the governor's race there to help out there.
And then to speak before all those patriots down there.
And it was just an honor, Steve.
But you know what?
When you talk about my pillow, everybody, today is it.
We have the, you got to be shipped out tomorrow, you guys.
We've been moving the factory during these times the last six weeks.
And we've saved all of the big ticket items and the closeout items for the war room posse.
You guys, you get a ship for free so we don't have to bring it to our other factory.
So you guys see if your size and everything is still there right now.
You get free shipping with promo code warroom.
