Chapter 1: What is the legacy of Pam Bondi's role in the Department of Justice?
yeah i think the legacy of pam bondi is going to begin with her politicization of the department of justice to go after donald trump's political opponents so i think that's like top line right the fact that she was willing to open criminal investigations and pursue uh political investigations it will be the the the biggest legacy it's going to be her use of the department of justice not just to gut enforcement of the civil rights laws
but to actually reverse them, to actually turn the Department of Justice for the first time under either Democratic or Republican presidents into a tool of the vote suppressors and the people who want to overturn minority voting rights. And that is a dark legacy that, unfortunately, like the first one, is going to be really hard to shake.
I mean, it's going to be hard to unring the bell about the politicization of the Department of Justice. It is also going to be hard to unring the bell about all the damage that has been done. by having an election. And I are not just in the White House, but an election.
And I are running the Department of Justice, willing to do anything to undermine the rule of law, the Constitution and the voting rights of Americans.
Notice notes that some senators are pushing for Senator Mike Lee. Hmm. Wonder why some senators are pushing the White House to appoint Senator Mike Lee as attorney general and plan to pitch Trump directly on the idea, according to two sources with knowledge of the matter, largely because they like him out of the Senate because he's been making folks uncomfortable there for some reason.
The other, which is another interesting one from the flashback. The Texas Tribune, Donald Trump at the time noting, I would actually, Trump said Saturday when asked by KDFW-TV, if he would consider Paxton for National Post. Quote, he's very, very talented. I mean, we have a lot of people that I want that want that one and will be very good at it. But he's a very talented guy.
And there's a little bit of noise to promote him, largely because He's got a Texas problem right now with Paxton and Cornyn running for that U.S. Senate seat. How do you see this thing landing, from your experience inside the building, looking back into it now? Who do you think the president would likely lean on if the goal here is to prosecute his political opponents?
It's really hard to say in this kind of circumstance because Trump has been so unconventional all around in his handling of all matters related to the Justice Department, including the leadership. Pam Bondi is coming into DOJ. She came into DOJ without any experience working in that organization whatsoever, which is very unusual for an attorney general.
And if he's willing to bring in somebody who's never been in DOJ before, that really opens up the field to potentially many, many people. And I think that it really is anyone's guess right now who it will be. But I'm not sure that who is serving that sort of figurehead role that Bondi served is accurate. actually the person we really need to be worried about.

Chapter 2: Why are some senators advocating for Mike Lee as attorney general?
Russia is richer. NATO is weaker. And Americans are less safe and more isolated. This has been Operation Epic Failure. And this president owns it in entirety. There have been presidents in the past, John, that have started wars that they've had to hand off to their successors. There have been presidents in the past that have had to end ingloriously wars that were not working.
But Donald Trump is going to be the only president in American history to single-handedly start and lose a war. And this is what the president's getting briefed on. I mean, what would you say to him? How would you put it to him, given what he's also considering and the exit and how that works?
I would say the thing that I'm saying to you, and that is you have to be really clear about your purpose and your end state. There are lots of different options you can choose. We have fewer now than we did at the beginning, notwithstanding the fact that we have certainly degraded a malign regime. We have certainly disabilized it. But the idea that an air and maritime assault
would overthrow a regime or leave a nation of that heft without action still to play is just is not realistic. So my question would be, here's the situation on the ground. Here's what we assess. What are we going to do now? And the other thing I just say is. People don't intend to escalate. They tend to escalate because they will think it will lead to deterrence.
And so I think that's one of the soundtracks you're hearing by both the president and by Iran is they're doing this thing of, can I make a threat? Can I escalate? And where we've left ourselves is words won't be enough to achieve the outcomes that we probably require.
is trying to cover his tracks on a strategic failure, claiming that there is regime change because we've replaced an 86-year-old terrorist hardliner with a 56-year-old terrorist hardliner, claiming that somehow Iran has been deterred from ballistic or nuclear power projection. Meanwhile, he's frantically dialing 911 in the form of paratroopers and the Marine Expeditionary Units.
And what Congress needs to do in the face of this strategic incompetence is prevent the deployment of ground forces on any of the islands or the shoreline around the Strait of Hormuz. Because if this president deploys these Marines or paratroopers to seize these islands, they'll take them. But then after 15 to 30 days, they're going to need reinforcement and resupply.
And we are in a boots on the ground quagmire for the third time in the 21st century. The American public is exhausted by these failed forever wars. They don't want them. They want us investing here in the United States. They want us working with our allies. And instead, this president is berating NATO, making it weaker. And he's strengthening our adversaries in China, Russia and Iran.
job job jobs report expecting 65 000 we are significantly stronger 178 000 however there's a pretty big revision in the rear view mirror if we look at the minus 92 000 it becomes minus 133 000 So the two-month revision ends up, actually, if you look at the previous month, only minus 7,000. So not as bad. 178,000. When was the last time we had a number that strong?

Chapter 3: How does Trump's unconventional approach affect the Justice Department?
What's happened in the last 24 hours as the the war intensifies, we said President Trump and looking for a not an off ramp, but are looking to roll this thing up in two or three weeks. He said he was going to if they didn't look like he was going to get a deal, he was going to escalate. I think they kind of escalated a little early. They took out bridges and infrastructure.
Bibi Netanyahu has been on. Israeli TV talking about the infrastructure and the and other aspects of Iranian civil life that the Israelis are pounding. So last night, another intense bombing campaign. We're also going to have we're going to talk about Pam Bondi, this entire situation. There's so much going on, particularly in the state of Texas.
Julie Pickering and others are going to join us to talk about this Texas school board meeting on Tuesday. We need people lined up today by 5 p.m. Central Daylight Time. We need you to sign up if you're going to address the Texas Education Board. We need to do it by today, and that's where I'm going to have a whole lot going on. Birch Gold, we have the Philip Patrick is going to join me

Or maybe the day after.
I think the Easter egg hunt is Monday. The dollar's convertibility into gold ended in 1971. Gold was fixed at $35 an ounce. Well, fast forward to today and the U.S. dollar has lost over 85% of its purchasing power. Gold, on the other hand, is increased in value by over 12,000%. That's why central banks are buying gold at record levels.
That's why major firms like Vanguard and BlackRock hold significant positions in gold. And that's why I encourage you to consider diversifying your savings with physical gold from Birch Gold Group. But it starts with education. Birch Gold just announced their Learn and Earn Precious Metals event. This free online event rewards you for learning the basics of investing in precious metals.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of sending ICE officers to polling places?
Yeah, I think that people shouldn't think that in the winding down, he's going to keep the pressure on him in the last last night or since the president talked has been pretty intense. Dr. Thayer. And of course, this is what's going to happen in war. You're going to get people, particularly running these many combat sorties. I think the combat sorties have been now almost 12,000.
So the op tempo of naval air and also our Air Force assets in the region have been incredibly intense. And this is about the defanging and declawing. I mean, the way that you take down this regime's conventional forces as you just pound. The president said that's going to happen. Any updates that you've got on this situation, Dr. Thayer?
Other than to what Brandon provided, that it seemed to be about 50 kilometers inside or that is north of the Persian Gulf. So it looks like southwestern Iran in terms of the location. And I hadn't seen, Brendan mentioned a 60 down and I hadn't seen that, but obviously that's, we obviously pray for the cruise of both the 60 if it went down and then of course of the F-15E.
Well, people should take heart that you've got an American search and rescue. It looks like you've got a C-130 and a bunch of Blackhawks in there trying to get the pilots. I understand that it appears, and I think this is why they weren't on local media, to have locals go and search for the pilots. It looks like the ejection seats... were hit. I mean, were used.
Chapter 5: Why is there concern about the safety of U.S. citizens at the polls?
And so the pilots look like they've at least made it out of the plane before it crashed. That is what it looks like. And obviously, if the locals are putting out these news, so-called news reports, encouraging their tribesmen to go out and hunt these pilots down, obviously they have very good reason to believe that the U.S. pilots are alive.
Now, these pilots, as you know, Steve, are trained in evasion tactics. They actually, my understanding is I think they go through SEER training as well. So these are not just flyboys. These guys are designed to evade and withstand a lot if they are shot down. So it's a matter of time now. It's a race to the finish. Our guys get them or, God forbid, the Iranians find them.
I'm sure it's the Air Force also, but the Navy, every pilot, my kid brother's a LAMPS helicopter pilot who was in the Gulf during the tanker wars of 86 and 87. You had to go to SEER school, and SEER school was very intense. So the training for the pilots to evade and to stay alive until they're rescued is almost as intense as their pilot training, which is the best in the world.
Brandon, I want to go because, you know, both you guys are authors of amazing books. It's one of the reasons I think you're both you guys, although you kind of take different views of the world, are such good observers and analysts because you've done deep research into the topics. You have your book on Iran, I think, spectacular. Just this part of the. of Iran where they are.
People forget, you know, after the failed, you know, after the Shah fell and they took the, in 79, and they took the, they then took the embassy in early November. And that's when my ship deployed from the Pacific fleet. We sent carrier battle groups, which we had never done before. The fifth fleet at that time was, you know, a couple of ships, I think were painted white, like the British fleet.
uh in bahrain it was very small but ever since that time the americans have really the north arabian sea has been back then it was camel station and gonzo station where the two battle groups were but a lot of people don't remember probably outside of world war ii one of the most horrific wars of the 20th century took place shortly thereafter between iraq and iran and remember yeah in our fiasco in iraq a big part of iraq today
is basically controlled by the Shiites because the Vatican of the Shiite religion happens to be geographically, I think it's in the Jaff, right, where we had that during our movie, The Last 600 Meters, we showed the assault on that.
In fact, if you look at Moulton, the congressman, who's a left-wing congressman now, he was the kind of heroic Marine captain that led that assault for a couple of weeks. Talk to people about this 10-year war because right now it looks like our pilots, or down in that region that was so intensely fought. I think there was a million casualties. Am I correct in that, between both sides?
I think it was one of the bloodiest wars of the 20th century, and it was very similar to World War I, where you initiated with a war of maneuver, and then it just became this locked-in trench warfare struggle for 10 years, in which the U.S. nominally backed Saddam Hussein's Iraq,

Chapter 6: What are the current military capabilities of Iran amidst the conflict?
Search and rescue for American pilots right now in the Iran war. Back in a moment. This year marks a critical moment for our country. As the opposition grows more aggressive and more unapologetic, the fight now reaches into the everyday decisions we make. Patriot Mobile has been standing on the front lines fighting for freedom for more than 12 years.

And use promo code Bannon for a free month of service. Don't wait. Do it today. That's PatriotMobile.com slash Bannon or call 972-PATRIOT and join the team today. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. Brandon, we got an update on the UH-60. Can you give us an update? One of the OSINT people that I deal with told me that it was a Special Forces UH-60 Black Hawk.
It was hit, did not crash in southern Iraq, made it across the border to safety in southern Iraq, and apparently it has returned to base. That is what I'm being told. Um, so, uh, yeah. And there's that video there. Uh, um, they're shooting from this bridge.
The people on the ground in Iran, these are just ordinary people, uh, are shooting at our, our birds there that are conducting, um, search and rescue operations for that F-15, uh, Strike Eagle, uh, the two pilots that were the pilot and the WIZO, uh, that are, uh, that are down in Iran somewhere. So this is a, um, developing situation, but, but the Blackhawk is fine, I am told. So.
Yeah, and look, CENTCOM obviously has preparation for all this, but I will tell you that it looks like pretty barren territory. You see what our kids... So I keep telling folks, this is like the frickin' moon when you're over there, right? So once again, the heroism and valor and training. They're trained for this. This is why these pilots can go in under enemy fire and do this.
Also, you might note, one of the things we did say, Dr. Thayer, let me get you in the conversation here. We kept saying that the...
The expeditionary operation in late June to totally obliterate the nuclear weapons program, then the Venezuelan, and the Venezuelan heroic, I mean, a special forces, and they took a, you know, they almost lost the helicopter that went in if it was not for the incredible airmanship there. and bravery of the pilot who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for that by President Trump.
Here you're going in and, you know, they talk about air supremacy, air superiority, those are kind of military terms and mathematical equations. But you've got resistance. I mean, these people are resisting.
The Iranians are going to put up a fight, and like we said, they've shifted the center of gravity of the battle to the Persian Gulf, and they've shifted it to the... In many respects, they've taken the initiative. It shouldn't be lost on people that the search and rescue area is down close to the Persian Gulf, close to the Tigris and the Euphrates, close to Iraqi territory.
So it's closer to there. It's hundreds, not thousands of miles away from... You had been one of you had been not adamant, but you say, hey, look, I don't think President Trump's gotten into an escalatory trap. Right. I think that he's really thinking this thing through and he's trying to avoid that. Can you give us your update on that?
