Chapter 1: What are the lies of John Cornyn discussed in this episode?
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 on 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've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann. It's Monday, 9 March, Year of the Lord, 2026. As I said, it's from the movie 12 O'Clock High.
Hey, we're in a shooting war now. We got to win this thing. whether you like how we got here or you don't like how we got here. And I'm not crazy about how we got here, but you've got people in harm's way. In fact, we had another KIA announced last night. Now, to be brutally frank, I don't remember. And we followed this pretty closely.
It was announced they got killed from injuries on March 1st, sustained in Saudi Arabia on an attack on American military. I don't quite remember that being reported on one March. And I realize you have OPSEC.
You definitely have OPSEC, but if you want to build support and build real support that's going to last more than 24 hours, but I mean really build support for your endeavor, there's just got to be a different messaging. There's got to be a different information.
I keep saying CENTCOM has got to get more like Norman Schwarzkopf in explaining and giving the big picture of what we're trying to accomplish here. And let me be specific about that. And, you know, I think the world of Pete Hexeth, we nobody fought for Pete Hexeth's confirmation more than this audience in this show.
When they were about to trade Pete Hexeth out for Ron DeSantis, we had Pete Hexeth back and then we had Pete Hexeth back to get to 50 votes, which then Vice President Vance had to put in the 51 to get him confirmed. That being said, the 60 Minutes interview last night. You just can't sit there and go shine us on about imminent threat. Oh, yeah, it was not imminent threat.
No, it doesn't work like that. The people in the messaging department over there got to get serious about this. And this whole thing, short-term pain for long-term gain. Yo, the American people are not known for taking short-term pain when it comes to economics, particularly oil and gas. So I'm saying the messaging has to conform with the military strategy without giving away the secrets.
President Trump, as I keep saying, he wants optionality and wants a range of alternatives and never box him in because he's a disruptor and he can pivot hard. But you're going to start losing people if there's not consistency. And last night on 60 Minutes, just to kind of shine on imminent threat. No, no, no, no, no, no. Incorrect, sir. Incorrect, Mr. Pete Hexen. It was imminent threat.

Chapter 2: How is the current geopolitical situation affecting the U.S. economy?
But, Bolin, walk me through the situation with oil and gas. You're saying it's being totally misinterpreted. And you've got ā President Trump has massive leverage. And if we use that leverage, we're going to see sunlit uplands. So today is the day I need a sun ā I need to be able to see a sunlit upland. So that's why we dragged you out of the rack to do this. What do you got?
If I may just start this off with, you know, one of the things that you probably don't like about me, although I think it goes hand in hand, I believe America first. I believe Steve Bannon developed America first. I'm a libertarian, so I hate foreign conflicts to start off.
However, we're sitting right now, we're going to be in $4 gasoline territory within a week or so, no matter what happens down the road. If it stays, oil stays above $100 a barrel, we're going to hit $5 a barrel. That's bad for the economy. Worse for the economy is the diesel number. $5 a gallon. Hang on. $5 a gallon.
You're saying if it stays above $100 for a week, you're going to have $5 gasoline. But what about diesel? The country runs on diesel. The country runs on diesel. Every single product, every product in the world really has a diesel component to it. Right now, diesel's 450. Truckers are getting painted the pump. It's going to be five. It's going to be six. No matter how fast this...
conflict concludes, that's real, that the economy is going to jet fuel jumped 140% three days ago, and it's not even including the $100 barrel right now. So everything we do to transport food and products, everything will get more expensive. That's inflationary.

Chapter 3: What role does messaging play in military operations?
The economy is at risk. So the libertarian in me says, Well, what do we do about that? There's the here's your here's the solution. Now, Trump has developed a lot of influence. He's got a lot of cards to play. He's got a lot of Trump cards to play. Venezuela and Iran right now specifically. Venezuela has the ability to produce, and they used to produce 3 million barrels a day.
Right now they're one because of all the corruption over the last 20 years. Iran has the ability to produce 7 million barrels a day. They're producing three because of the sanctions and whatnot. There's a very, very smart solution, but it takes guts, it takes cojones, and you got to go in there. And Trump's the only guy that can get this done. I would love to help him do it. I know he can do it.
There are public-private partnerships right now in petroleum. Saudi Aramco is mostly owned by the Saudi government, but partially owned by the public. Petro-China, Petrobras, Brazil, Gazprom in Russia, public-private partnerships. You have Venezuela and you have Iran on their knees right now.
put your foot on their neck like you are, and then say, I'll tell you what, the American boot comes off your neck. The minute you sign a relationship with the United States where our oil companies achieve you, we get your additional production that we can get you to. There's 7 million additional barrels between and Venezuela that we could help them produce.
They would still own, we would produce it But guess what happens then, Steve? I told you earlier, we use 20 million barrels of oil a day in this country. We produce 13 million barrels a day. The gap between what we produce here and use is 7 million barrels.
We can guarantee for our lifetime never having to need another outside force with the exception of Iran and Venezuela, which we would own as a partnership going forward as part of a deal to let them go back to being sovereign countries. Very simple. They get what they want. They get their country back. We get, we want what we want. Oil independence, real oil independence.
No one's ever come up with this. No one's ever thought of this. This is the way to do it. What the boot on the neck of the, of the, of the Mulas, is there no chance that Guyana and a Gulf of America and other, other opportunities we have here can ramp up to that level to take Iran. You would have to do it with Iran.

Chapter 4: Why is the oil and gas situation critical right now?
Iran has three to four million additional barrels of production per day that we could extract. They were there in 1995 or so, and it's slid ever since. We can ramp up their production. They haven't been able to do it on their own because they wanted to go with this nuclear proliferation pipe dream that no one should allow them to do.
Part of the deal should be we're going to do a public-private partnership with you, with our oil company, to the additional oil we bring you up. So you're not going to be any worse off just the additional oil that we allow you or produce with you. It's going to come down at a fair price, at a market price. Oil will never spike to $100 again, ever.
Venezuela, but people tell me that the infrastructure has been so decayed under the mismanagement of the Venezuelan Marxist that that will take us years to get up to speed. This plan of yours, if you go and tell President Trump you got the you got the leverage, actually, if you started this afternoon. When's the first time you could actually get this type of production up?
Is it a year, two years, three years? Yeah. Within months, you'll start to increase. It's not going to ramp up to triple the level it was at one point in the late 90s. But you start the process. Steve, there's no reason oil should be $100 a barrel today.
The reason it's $100 a barrel, maybe goes to 110, 120, who knows, is the news and the media and the hype and the speculators and the Wall Street guys pushing the price up with it. Everyone is panicking. And when there's panic, the vultures, the Wall Street folks, the vultures add to the panic and push prices up. They always come back down. This is not a supply.
There's no reason, supply reason, supply and demand reason for $103, which it just traded $103. There's no reason for that. When you eliminate that because you say, you know what, United States is the big dog in the space. We use more oil than any other country on the planet by far. And so when there's a fear of disruption of oil, Kuwait says we have to force majeure oil today.
They declared force majeure. Price spikes $10. Kuwait, it's a couple million, it's a million barrels a day at the very max. It's not a permanent force majeure. It's temporary until the Strait of Hormuzo. Here's a way to eliminate all these stupid news stories, all these stupid talking heads that are talking a huge, you know, end of the world game on television. We fix it.
Here's what should be important. We're never dependent on another foreign drop of oil in the entire history of America. Think about Well, you are dependent. You're just in some partnership where you're the controlling entity, or somehow you've got a working agreement where you're calling the shots. 51%. Right, 51%. With President Trump the chairman. President Trump's the chairman.
There's going to be another peace board. President Trump's in charge. You have to deal with that guy every day, right? This is what we're going to do today. Before I lose you, real quickly, let's go back to the Straits of Hormuz and the insurance, right? Because guys are calling force majeure all the time. They're going to want guys to pay for this. So talk to me.

Chapter 5: What alternatives exist for U.S. oil independence?
And now they're going to get $105. It's an arbitrage. It's a total, you're a hundred percent right. It's arbitrage. Anyway, we've got a bolt. We're going to do this again. We'll work on today and then do it again tomorrow. You've got so much more about this. What, um, where do people go for all your content, including your new, was it the new show, the edge?
We talked to talk to people that have the edge, sir. We talked to bad asses all over the country, but it's the edges on you. I'm really proud of being the leading show to the war room at four o'clock into your war room episode on, on real America's voice. It's been great. It's been great. Great relationship, Steve. I appreciate you.
And we've, we launched the show on the war room a year and a month ago. Amazing. Amazing. Eric Bolling, but Eric, social media also, cause you're putting stuff up all the time. Where are you going? Social media. Everywhere, at Eric Bolling, B-O-L-L-I-N-G. Just follow me and just love to have you join us on The Edge. There's The Edge right there. Steve, I appreciate that very, very much.
Every time I come on, there's like, you know, I get a couple hundred followers or subscribers. So subscribe. The War Room folks are going to love those. It's no woke. It's badasses, guys being guys. No more woke crap. You can do what the hell you want and succeed and perform. And masculine toxicity, we lean into it instead of fear it. Yeah. That's what we do. Oh man. I love it.
I want people to pile into that day. Bowling. You're the best. I'll talk to you after the show. We'll work on this. President Trump with all the leverage to basically take the speculation. You know, those folks, you know, those folks very well. Send it in. This is the best idea. I guarantee they're not thinking about it. No one's ever said that. And that's, that's the solution.
That really is a solution. We'll get, we'll get the clip over there. Thank you so much, Eric. I appreciate you taking time this morning to do this. Thanks, Steve. OK, we're going to pivot and we're going to pivot. We come back. You're going to have a long, cold open. Caroline runs going to join us. But we've done a mashup of John Cornyn and it's going to take some time.

that I believe you're a good and decent man who's been dealt a very difficult hand. I was listening with interest to our friend and colleague from Minnesota talk about the Russian investigation.
And I agree with her 100% that it is our responsibility to get to the bottom of what exactly happened due to Russian involvement in our elections, much as they got involved in the elections in France, using a combined process of known commonly as active measures. It's a combination of cyber espionage. It's propaganda.
It's a use of social media through paid trolls who can actually then try to raise the visibility of some of this propaganda such that it then becomes part of the mainstream media and becomes accepted and part of the debate in democratic societies. I believe that we do share a bipartisan and universal commitment to get to the bottom of what happened in our last election. Senator
Feinstein has said recently that there is no evidence of collusion between the administration and Russia. But I think she would share with me a commitment to not stop there. People are concerned and I share that concern. And we need to come up with a program of countermeasures to deal with this because the Russian government has been...

Chapter 7: What are the implications of John Cornyn's actions on Texas voters?
be served in the case of George Floyd. The first step in that process came on Friday when the officer who had him in custody was himself arrested and charged with third-degree murder. This morning I had a very good conversation with Judge Merrick Garland, who President Biden has nominated for Attorney General.
Judge Garland's extensive legal experience makes him well-suited to lead the Department of Justice. And I appreciated his commitment to keep politics out of the Justice Department. That is my number one criterion for who should be the next head of the Department of Justice as Attorney General. And I think both sides should support a depoliticized Justice Department.
that's what i hope judge garland wants confirmed the white house today with the number the speaker the majority leader of both houses uh trying to figure out how to advance the president's agenda and get it accomplished and we are on that path as i speak well part of his agenda is building a wall he campaigned on it your state voted for him in part because of that and then you were quoted the other day saying you're not for a wall and the people of texas are not for a wall
What gives you that impression, considering I think you won your state nine points, something like that, pretty definitive win, running on the wall. Why would you think your voters would not be for that?
Well, the Texas border, and one reason I took my colleagues to Texas was to show them this 1,200-mile border, some of which has 3,500-foot cliffs in the Big Bend area where no wall is really necessary. There are other areas. where infrastructure is important, barriers, if you say, so to speak. But it's really a combination of personnel, technology, and infrastructure.
We're working right now with the Department of Homeland Security to come up with a plan to actually implement the president's goal of securing the border. It's long overdue, and I fully support that. We intend to try to make that happen. But he said, I mean, not to be a stickler on semantics, but he said, I want a wall. I want a big, beautiful wall.
I mean, that was from the first day of his campaign until last. I want a wall. So why would you think that voters in your state exempting like the cliffs, but for the rest of the border, why wouldn't they want a wall too? Didn't they vote for that? I don't think they, I think they voted for border security.
How we accomplished that, I think they expect us to use our best judgment to try to accomplish. It's really just a matter of political will. We know how to do it. The problem has been we haven't had a president who actually believed in border security. We do now. We're fully trying to support and implement that effort together with
interior enforcement which represents people who come in and overstay represent 40 percent of illegal immigration and we don't do nearly enough to discourage that right so for sure so you think your voters are present when they voted for Trump they weren't voting for the wall he promised they're voting for Republican senators to figure out how to secure the border but they didn't really mean a wall when they voted for a guy who promised a wall

Chapter 8: Why is Ken Paxton's candidacy significant in the current political climate?
I'm the senator, not you. I'm in charge. I have never in my 10 years of doing this seen such an intentional, brazen, and defiant mode of action as what I have just seen from John Cornyn. I'm not saying it's the worst bill I've ever seen. That's not true. I'm not saying that it's the worst vote I've ever seen. That's not the point.
The point I'm making is I have never seen in my 10 years of doing this, someone so openly rebuked by their voters and then so quickly turning 180 degrees around and saying, I don't care. I've never seen it. Usually when you show up to a town hall and you confront them, they say, okay, I'm done. I'm going to change my vote. Cornyn doesn't like you. And he jokes about it, actually.
Cornyn hates you. He knows he'll still get money from his corporate donors. He knows that. Instead of being allied with his voters, it'd be like, maybe there's something I could learn here. pokes him in the eye and says, no, no, no, no, no. I'm the senator. You, you're the serf. You're not a citizen. I'm in charge. President Biden said, do something. So John Cornyn turned his back on Texas.
Cornyn trampled on our conservative values and Second Amendment rights. Cornyn voted with Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders to pass the worst gun control legislation in 30 years. He stood with them instead of us. That's why President Trump can't trust John Cornyn, calling him a rhino. John Cornyn betrayed Texas for the last time.
Lone Star Liberty PAC is responsible for the content of this advertisement. Boy, and all that in the voice of John Cornyn. Charlie Kirk, what a giant. Absolute giant. Did Charlie Kirk nail it? In Charlie Kirk's own voice. And of course, you had the voice of John Cornyn.
We're gonna take a short, very short break, and Caroline Wren, who helped compile that information of John Cornyn in his own voice, and then Charlie Kirk at the end to sum it all up. Short commercial break. Caroline Wren on Paxton versus Cornyn in The Jewel of the Crown, The State of Texas, next. The world is getting more unstable and chaotic every day.
