Bannon's War Room - Episode 5154： Trump Speaks At The Board Of Peace; Fulton County Board of Elections Meeting Continues

00:00:00.600 I thought this would be easy because I have a

00:00:02.240 very good relationship with President Putin.

00:00:04.880 I have a very good relationship with President

00:00:06.940 Xi.

00:00:07.280 I'm going to be going to China in April.

00:00:08.840 It's going to be that's going to be a wild one.

00:00:11.540 I said, but we have to put on the biggest display

00:00:14.120 you've ever had in the history of China.

00:00:16.020 You know, last time I went to China, President

00:00:18.580 Xi, he treated me so well.

00:00:20.720 He gave me a display.

00:00:22.180 I never saw so many soldiers all the same

00:00:24.600 height, exactly the same height within a quarter

00:00:26.860 of an inch.

00:00:28.220 You can do that when you have 1.4 billion people,

00:00:31.160 you know, lots of shoulders.

00:00:33.060 Everybody was went about one eighth of an inch the

00:00:35.900 same height.

00:00:37.060 I said, if they put their helmets down, you could

00:00:39.640 have played pool on the top of their heads.

00:00:42.640 And it was pretty amazing.

00:00:44.740 But I said, you got to top it.

00:00:46.980 He said, I'll top it.

00:00:48.280 We're going to top it.

00:00:49.080 We're going to have a lot of the people.

00:00:50.940 Most of the fake news back there is going to be

00:00:52.740 going.

00:00:53.880 So we have Steve has done a great job.

00:00:57.380 And then a little bit later on, we brought Jared.

00:01:01.060 And Jared was responsible for the Abraham Accords,

00:01:03.660 which is President Trump is at the Board of Peace

00:01:06.280 for the for the initial meeting over at the Institute of

00:01:08.560 Peace.

00:01:09.500 We're going to cover to its entirety and then come in

00:01:12.000 life envoys of peace.

00:01:14.860 And you couldn't get to.

00:01:15.860 I tell you what, I watch these two guys, I say, at

00:01:18.540 least we're covered from an IQ standpoint.

00:01:20.860 These two guys walk into a room and but people like

00:01:24.340 them both.

00:01:24.760 You know, they're good people and they like them both.

00:01:27.640 And they've had some very good meetings.

00:01:29.640 They've had some very interesting meetings having

00:01:32.480 to do with, as you know, Iran is a hotspot right now.

00:01:36.340 And they're meeting and they have a good relationship

00:01:38.120 with the representatives of Iran.

00:01:39.660 And, you know, good talks are being had.

00:01:42.420 It's proven to be over the years not easy to make a

00:01:46.060 meaningful deal with Iran.

00:01:47.300 We have to make a meaningful deal.

00:01:49.240 Otherwise, bad things happen.

00:01:51.000 But we have to make a meaningful deal.

00:01:52.340 But they have a great relationship with the

00:01:53.900 representatives of Iran.

00:01:56.040 They have a great relationship with the

00:01:58.580 other one that they're really working on now.

00:02:00.020 Because so many of these, I mean, as an example,

00:02:02.020 Kosovo, Serbia.

00:02:05.260 I did that one.

00:02:06.860 Could you stand up, if any of you guys are, when

00:02:09.060 you're here, just stand up for a second.

00:02:10.560 Kosovo, Serbia.

00:02:12.060 Stand up.

00:02:13.800 What a job.

00:02:14.500 Thank you very much.

00:02:15.500 We appreciate it.

00:02:16.800 So good.

00:02:18.840 And you're getting along.

00:02:20.300 And when you don't get along, you'll call me.

00:02:22.080 And we'll get it solved, right?

00:02:23.880 We'll get it solved.

00:02:25.740 Thank you very much.

00:02:26.840 Really good.

00:02:27.480 And then again, Pakistan and India.

00:02:29.180 That was a big one.

00:02:29.980 And just, I think you should actually stand.

00:02:32.620 Come, please, stand just for a second.

00:02:35.380 Pakistan and India, thank you very much.

00:02:37.580 And I spoke to Prime Minister Modi.

00:02:41.180 He's excited.

00:02:41.820 He's watching us right now.

00:02:44.520 Egypt and Ethiopia.

00:02:46.880 We're going to get that.

00:02:47.720 You know, there's a little dam that got built.

00:02:50.300 Little dam, like maybe the largest dam in the world.

00:02:53.700 Built and financed, of course, by the United

00:02:55.640 States brilliantly.

00:02:57.460 And having a little trouble getting water to the Nile.

00:03:01.040 But it's not — that's a tough situation.

00:03:04.540 But we're going to get that solved.

00:03:06.880 Armenia and Azerbaijan, we talked about.

00:03:09.980 And again, thank you, fellas, very much.

00:03:11.820 Great job.

00:03:12.820 Great job.

00:03:13.320 Thank you.

00:03:15.760 Cambodia and Thailand.

00:03:18.800 So incredible what you did, that you got together

00:03:21.900 and it all worked out.

00:03:23.160 They're watching.

00:03:24.460 They're watching right now in closed circuit.

00:03:26.100 Thank you very much.

00:03:27.100 And thank you — that was a big one — Cambodia and Thailand.

00:03:30.700 These are nasty fighters, I have to tell you.

00:03:34.100 These fighters are nasty.

00:03:37.540 Now we talk about — you talk nasty fighter?

00:03:41.740 You're nice guys compared to this.

00:03:43.680 Congo and Rwanda.

00:03:46.920 That was — and we've got them pretty peaceful.

00:03:51.260 There's little flare-ups every once in a while.

00:03:53.120 I'll get a call once a week.

00:03:54.920 Sir, there's a flare-up in the Congo again.

00:03:57.860 We'll get it straightened out.

00:03:58.960 Right, Susie?

00:03:59.600 We'll get it straightened out.

00:04:01.820 And Israel, as you know, with — you could say Israel

00:04:05.740 in numerous countries, if you want to really know the truth.

00:04:08.100 But Israel and Iran.

00:04:10.580 And we'll see where that goes.

00:04:12.540 But when you think of Israel, we have — we've done

00:04:14.600 the biggest thing of all.

00:04:15.540 We have peace in the Middle East right now.

00:04:16.880 That's bigger than — people said it couldn't be done.

00:04:19.980 And for 3,000 years, they've been talking about the Middle East.

00:04:23.080 They said it couldn't be done.

00:04:24.980 And you look at what's happened in Gaza.

00:04:28.960 And one of the keys to it was when we took those beautiful,

00:04:33.120 magnificent — we just ordered 22 more of them —

00:04:37.160 updated model.

00:04:38.160 The B-2 bombers are incredible.

00:04:40.140 I never understood the B-2 bomber.

00:04:41.660 I'd watch — it's a wing.

00:04:43.600 And I've never quite understood that, Johnny.

00:04:45.780 I'd look at it and say, it was beautiful.

00:04:47.500 But what does it do?

00:04:48.940 It carries very big bombs.

00:04:50.800 And it went into Iran, and it totally decimated

00:04:54.880 the nuclear — nuclear potential.

00:04:58.340 And when it did — when it decimated that,

00:05:01.760 all of a sudden, we had peace in the Middle East.

00:05:03.560 Because nobody — there was a black cloud

00:05:05.460 hanging over the Middle East.

00:05:07.020 And if that wasn't done, that cloud would have been there.

00:05:10.260 And countries like Saudi Arabia, countries like Qatar,

00:05:14.400 countries like — nobody could have signed.

00:05:15.900 You would have had that threat.

00:05:18.100 Nobody could have had — you couldn't have had peace

00:05:19.940 in the Middle East.

00:05:21.240 So now we may have to take it a step further, or we may not.

00:05:23.840 Maybe we're going to make a deal.

00:05:24.840 You're going to be — you're going to be finding out

00:05:26.380 over the next probably 10 days.

00:05:29.920 But this meeting today is proof, with determined leadership,

00:05:32.780 nothing is impossible.

00:05:34.780 When I took office, the war in Gaza was raging,

00:05:37.120 with thousands of people being killed and no end in sight.

00:05:40.560 Today, thanks to unrelenting diplomacy and the commitment

00:05:43.700 of many of the great people in this room.

00:05:46.200 We have 59 countries signed up on Gaza.

00:05:50.700 Think of that.

00:05:52.180 We have — it's amazing.

00:05:54.640 But all the people — many — really, so many in this room.

00:05:57.980 The war in Gaza is over. It's over.

00:06:00.920 There are little flames — little flames.

00:06:03.440 Hamas has been — I think they're going to give up their weapons,

00:06:07.560 which is what they promised. If they don't, it'll be — you know,

00:06:10.600 they'll be harshly met — very harshly met.

00:06:12.560 They don't want that.

00:06:14.260 You know, all this stuff like, they don't mind dying.

00:06:17.280 They told me that's not true.

00:06:20.000 Everybody would say, oh, they don't mind dying.

00:06:21.800 No, they don't want to die.

00:06:22.800 They said, we don't want to die.

00:06:24.980 People don't want to die.

00:06:26.680 The ceasefire was held, and every last remaining hostage,

00:06:30.520 both living and dead, has been returned back home.

00:06:33.080 Think of that. That was an impossibility.

00:06:36.060 And we did hundreds of hostages.

00:06:37.800 But the last 20 — and I always said to Steve and Jared,

00:06:40.960 I said, the last 20 are going to be very tough.

00:06:43.540 Very, very tough. And we got them back.

00:06:46.580 We got the living back.

00:06:47.580 And then we only got about 16 of the dead.

00:06:50.040 And we said, well, you got to get them all.

00:06:51.700 You promised them all.

00:06:53.640 And they dug and dug and dug.

00:06:55.640 You can imagine. It's a job that's brutal.

00:06:59.320 And Hamas really did a lot of that work.

00:07:03.120 And you got to give them credit for that.

00:07:05.060 They brought the last — last one home a week ago.

00:07:11.500 And we got all 28 of them, living and dead.

00:07:14.460 The amazing thing — because I've never seen anything

00:07:16.440 quite like it — the parents of the dead,

00:07:18.900 they knew their boy was dead.

00:07:20.740 In this case, boys. All boys. Men.

00:07:24.240 But to the parents, boys.

00:07:26.140 They knew their boy was dead.

00:07:28.420 They wanted that dead body as much as if he were alive.

00:07:34.220 And when they got them back, there was great sadness,

00:07:38.500 but there was great joy, too.

00:07:39.800 They wanted it as much as the people that got their sons

00:07:43.860 back alive.

00:07:46.280 But we got a lot of people before those 20, Steve,

00:07:48.380 that nobody talks about.

00:07:49.680 But, you know, hundreds of people.

00:07:51.780 We did a good job, and you guys did a fantastic job.

00:07:55.480 I want to thank every nation that helped us achieve

00:07:58.060 this monumental breakthrough, saving countless lives,

00:08:02.860 and really bringing peace and bringing the concept of peace.

00:08:06.020 Because nobody thought peace in the Middle East —

00:08:07.760 I've always heard peace in the Middle East is impossible.

00:08:10.160 And it turned out not to be.

00:08:12.760 And we do have some work to do with Iran.

00:08:16.640 They can't have a nuclear weapon.

00:08:18.600 It's very simple.

00:08:19.260 They can't have — you can't have peace in the Middle East

00:08:21.500 if they have a nuclear weapon.

00:08:23.840 And they can't have a nuclear weapon.

00:08:25.680 And they've been told that very strongly.

00:08:28.320 Since the hard-won ceasefire of last October,

00:08:30.820 the United States and our partners have facilitated

00:08:34.060 the delivery of vast amounts of humanitarian aid —

00:08:37.080 numbers that nobody has ever seen before.

00:08:40.160 In November, the United Nations Security Council

00:08:42.500 unanimously approved the Board of Peace.

00:08:45.460 And last month in Davos, we welcomed over two dozen members

00:08:50.300 to this very important new organization.

00:08:54.000 And we are very closely working with the United Nations.

00:08:57.340 In fact, I'm going to speak to the Secretary General

00:09:00.280 in a little while.

00:09:00.920 He's a good man.

00:09:02.520 And I've had a good relationship.

00:09:04.120 Other than in my last speech,

00:09:05.860 they did turn off my teleprompter.

00:09:08.820 I got up there.

00:09:10.280 My teleprompter didn't work.

00:09:12.500 I'm sitting in front of all of you people and more.

00:09:15.760 I had no teleprompter.

00:09:17.020 I knew I was in trouble because I'm walking up.

00:09:19.040 You know, the teleprompters are over.

00:09:20.460 I had the most beautiful speech ready.

00:09:23.200 And I was all set to knock them dead.

00:09:26.040 First, I had an escalator that stopped.

00:09:27.780 You know that.

00:09:28.680 It's going up.

00:09:29.300 Boom!

00:09:30.580 It's lucky my movie star first lady was in front of me

00:09:35.620 because I put my hand on a certain part of her body.

00:09:39.380 And I was able to stop my fall.

00:09:41.600 Otherwise, because she had no trouble.

00:09:43.460 I said, boy, that was a very sharp stop, Johnny.

00:09:47.640 So I said, that was strange.

00:09:49.460 I've been on a lot of escalators.

00:09:51.400 It's never happened before.

00:09:52.960 Usually it stops very slowly.

00:09:54.600 This was just boom.

00:09:56.640 But our first lady was right in the proper location for me.

00:10:01.240 I'm waving to people.

00:10:02.840 And she was holding it a little tighter.

00:10:05.820 She knew what was happening.

00:10:07.020 She did.

00:10:07.520 She said, that's a very successful movie out right now.

00:10:10.380 Like, number one.

00:10:11.820 Can you believe this?

00:10:13.820 And it's a big movie, big movie star.

00:10:16.180 And I always say it's trouble because I always say

00:10:18.320 there's not room in one family for two stars.

00:10:22.100 I told her that.

00:10:23.600 We can't have two stars in one family.

00:10:26.740 So I don't know what that means, but it's not good.

00:10:30.280 But it is good because we're proud of her.

00:10:31.700 She did a people in the United States love the First Lady.

00:10:35.040 And she did the movie and has become the biggest

00:10:39.440 selling documentary in 20 years.

00:10:41.280 Can you believe the theaters are all packed?

00:10:43.060 Women, especially, they go back and they see it

00:10:45.160 two or three times, four times.

00:10:48.420 But together, we're committed to achieving a Gaza

00:10:50.820 that is properly governed throughout.

00:10:54.020 The whole area is going to be, you know, so many countries

00:10:57.200 that have really nothing to do with the Middle East,

00:10:59.100 but they're maybe somewhat close by.

00:11:01.360 They're all involved.

00:11:03.340 They want to go in and fight.

00:11:04.440 They tell me all the time, we'd like to send soldiers

00:11:06.600 to fight if it's necessary.

00:11:08.800 And I don't think it's going to be necessary.

00:11:10.740 We have two countries that want to go in

00:11:12.880 and do a number on Hamas.

00:11:15.740 I said, I really don't think it's, I hope it's not

00:11:17.640 going to be necessary because they made a promise

00:11:20.720 and they promised me to get rid of their weapons.

00:11:23.940 Looks like they're going to be doing that,

00:11:25.240 but we'll have to find out.

00:11:27.760 But it's no longer a hotbed of radicalism and terror.

00:11:33.360 And to end that, we have today, and I'm pleased to announce

00:11:38.260 that Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, UAE, Morocco, Bahrain, Qatar,

00:11:45.800 Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, and Kuwait have all contributed

00:11:52.980 more than $7 billion toward the relief package.

00:11:57.940 That's great. Thank you, fellas. Thank you.

00:11:59.880 And many more are contributing, too, so the numbers are

00:12:08.580 with, you know, this just started.

00:12:10.160 This is our first meeting.

00:12:12.720 But every dollar spent is an investment in stability

00:12:15.700 and the hope of new and harmonious.

00:12:19.960 It's a region that's so important.

00:12:21.640 It's so vibrant. It's so incredible.

00:12:23.640 The people are so incredible.

00:12:24.980 But we want to have a harmonious Middle East.

00:12:27.500 The Middle East is amazing.

00:12:29.640 So many friends in the Middle East, they're so smart.

00:12:33.780 Sometimes they're too energetic.

00:12:35.220 That's the — you know, a lot of people aren't energetic.

00:12:38.240 Sometimes they're a little bit too energetic.

00:12:40.780 These are great people.

00:12:42.560 The world is now waiting on Hamas, and that's taking place.

00:12:46.260 And it's the only thing that's right now standing in the way.

00:12:51.960 We have Lebanon with certain things that we're working on

00:12:56.200 that are very important.

00:12:57.960 We have to solve the problem of Lebanon, but it's relatively small

00:13:02.760 in terms of what we're — what's been done.

00:13:05.840 And again, the key was getting rid of the nuclear potential,

00:13:08.980 because Iran would have had a nuclear weapon based on everything

00:13:12.400 we found out since within one month.

00:13:14.300 We can't let that happen.

00:13:16.280 So many of our friends in Europe are attending today,

00:13:19.220 and we're eager to have them become full members.

00:13:22.960 They all want to become full members.

00:13:24.620 And we've had a great response from Europe.

00:13:27.300 And Europe is — you know, it's where I come from,

00:13:29.420 where so many people come from that are in the United States.

00:13:32.800 But we have a great relationship with Europe.

00:13:35.600 We have a great head of NATO.

00:13:37.600 He is a fantastic man, and he's doing a great job — really great job.

00:13:43.820 I'm excited to announce that Norway has agreed to host an event

00:13:48.240 bringing together the Board of Peace.

00:13:50.480 Oh, I thought, when I saw this note,

00:13:53.720 I'm excited to announce that Norway —

00:13:55.220 I thought they were going to say that they're giving me the Nobel Prize.

00:13:59.880 Oh, this is less exciting.

00:14:03.960 Oh, it says, I'm excited to announce that Norway,

00:14:07.100 and I'm saying, oh, great, I'm getting the Nobel Prize, finally.

00:14:10.240 Finally, they got it right.

00:14:12.360 But I don't care.

00:14:13.240 I don't care about Nobel Prize.

00:14:14.400 I care about saving lives, just so you understand.

00:14:17.040 We play, and we all, you know, do what we have to do.

00:14:19.980 I only have one thing.

00:14:21.120 I don't want to see people killed from parts of the world

00:14:24.320 that are very far away from the United States.

00:14:26.220 And if I have an ability to turn off — to turn off wars,

00:14:29.220 I want to use that ability, because it's people —

00:14:31.300 millions of people.

00:14:33.520 It's like the Prime Minister said, 25 million people, maybe.

00:14:37.460 And that's a small number compared to what it could have been

00:14:39.700 if you really think about it, right?

00:14:41.700 No, I want to save lives, and I don't care about prizes.

00:14:46.200 And the U.N. Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance

00:14:51.180 is raising $2 billion for the support of Gaza.

00:14:57.240 Additionally, Japan has just committed to host an aid fundraiser,

00:15:01.880 which will be a very big one, very — it's already successful.

00:15:05.160 We know some of the numbers that are being talked about,

00:15:07.160 which will be attended by other nations in the region,

00:15:10.820 including South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, and others.

00:15:15.420 And I know that China is going to be involved,

00:15:17.360 and I think Russia is going to be involved.

00:15:19.060 I think they will be.

00:15:20.760 I want to have everybody get all sides,

00:15:25.160 because it doesn't help when you have all sides with one ideology.

00:15:29.480 You have to have everybody together for this.

00:15:32.340 I'm also pleased to announce that FIFA will be helping

00:15:36.340 to raise a total of $75 million for projects in Gaza.

00:15:40.980 And I think they're soccer-related, where you're doing fields,

00:15:43.620 and you're getting the greatest stars in the world to go there.

00:15:47.020 People that are bigger stars than you and I, Johnny.

00:15:50.020 I hate to say it.

00:15:51.520 You know, I met one of your great stars

00:15:54.320 who came to the White House, as you know.

00:15:56.820 And he's — my son was very excited.

00:15:59.160 He — he's — these are great people.

00:16:01.900 These are great people.

00:16:04.540 And Johnny is going to bring the stars to the area.

00:16:08.920 And they're really known.

00:16:10.020 People in Gaza know every one of them, right?

00:16:12.080 You know?

00:16:13.840 So it's really something.

00:16:15.380 And we'll soon be detailing the announcement.

00:16:18.680 And if I can do, I'll get over there with you.

00:16:20.860 I want to thank Johnny and FIFA for all of the wonderful things

00:16:26.460 they did and are doing.

00:16:28.160 They gave me their first Peace Prize.

00:16:31.060 They gave me a Peace Prize.

00:16:32.140 I think they saw that I got screwed by Norway.

00:16:35.280 And they said, let's give them a Peace Prize.

00:16:36.840 I mean, very good.

00:16:37.680 Thank you, Johnny.

00:16:38.320 I appreciate it.

00:16:39.780 Johnny is very smart.

00:16:40.880 The President of the United States is very, very smart.

00:16:44.160 The nations represented here today, just in closing,

00:16:48.060 are not just contributing money.

00:16:49.620 Some are also pledging personnel to help preserve the ceasefire

00:16:54.860 and secure a very enduring peace.

00:16:56.960 We have to have enduring peace.

00:16:58.200 Having peace, knowing it's going to blow up in two weeks

00:17:01.740 doesn't mean anything.

00:17:02.640 In particular, Indonesia.

00:17:04.740 Thank you very much.

00:17:06.100 Indonesia.

00:17:07.640 It's a great country.

00:17:10.680 Thank you very much.

00:17:12.680 Look at that man.

00:17:13.480 Look how tough he is.

00:17:14.380 You think it's easy dealing with him?

00:17:16.380 Look at that face.

00:17:17.220 You are a tough cookie.

00:17:19.020 And we say it lovingly, too.

00:17:20.620 We need strength.

00:17:22.060 You say, see, he doesn't mind.

00:17:24.360 He's tough and he's smart.

00:17:26.560 And smart is more important.

00:17:30.100 Morocco, thank you very much.

00:17:32.100 Great.

00:17:32.660 What you're doing is great.

00:17:34.540 Albania, Kosovo, Kazakhstan have all committed troops

00:17:39.480 and police to stabilize Gaza.

00:17:41.580 Egypt and Jordan are likewise providing very, very

00:17:45.480 substantial help, troops, training, and support for a

00:17:49.980 very trustworthy Palestinian police force.

00:17:52.960 We think we're getting some very good people on that

00:17:55.260 police force.

00:17:56.660 And, you know, it's peace in the Middle East.

00:17:58.560 We have peace in the Middle East.

00:17:59.800 Think of it.

00:18:00.800 For years, you've been hearing about peace in the

00:18:02.640 Middle East and everybody who's saying it's impossible.

00:18:06.380 All of these countries are working together around

00:18:08.740 the vision of a Middle East that is free from the

00:18:11.540 curse of extremism and terror.

00:18:14.120 And now is time.

00:18:15.140 And by the way, even people with extremism and

00:18:18.020 preaching extremism, they're exhausted.

00:18:20.580 They're tired.

00:18:21.480 It's been going on for too many years.

00:18:23.120 I don't care who you are.

00:18:24.580 They're tired.

00:18:25.620 They want peace.

00:18:26.980 And now is the time for Iran to join us on a path

00:18:30.220 that will complete what we're doing.

00:18:33.820 And if they join us, that'll be great.

00:18:35.320 If they don't join us, that'll be great, too.

00:18:38.240 But it'll be a very different path.

00:18:40.660 They cannot continue to threaten the stability of

00:18:43.140 the entire region.

00:18:44.140 And they must make a deal.

00:18:47.340 Or if that doesn't happen, I maybe can understand.

00:18:50.280 If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.

00:18:51.940 But bad things will happen if it doesn't.

00:18:57.680 With the commitments announced today, the Board of

00:18:59.660 Peace is proving that it does not just convene

00:19:03.700 countries.

00:19:04.920 It devises and implements and real solutions happen.

00:19:08.720 We've come up with solutions.

00:19:11.520 This is so little talk.

00:19:13.360 This is very little talk, all action.

00:19:15.960 First time.

00:19:16.560 It was always talk in the Middle East.

00:19:18.100 People would talk about peace in the Middle East,

00:19:19.800 and then they'd go home and they'd never even think

00:19:22.100 about it again.

00:19:22.780 Nothing would happen.

00:19:24.600 We're providing a model for how responsible sovereign

00:19:27.400 nations can cooperate to take responsibility for

00:19:30.320 confronting problems in their own regions.

00:19:33.780 The Board of Peace is showing how a better future

00:19:36.680 can be built starting right here in this room.

00:19:39.080 And I want to let you know that the United States is

00:19:42.020 going to make a contribution of $10 billion to

00:19:45.060 the Board of Peace.

00:19:46.900 Thank you.

00:19:52.900 And we've had great support for that number.

00:19:55.860 And that number is a very small number when you look

00:19:58.080 at that compared to the cost of war.

00:20:01.600 That's two weeks of fighting.

00:20:05.140 It's a very small number.

00:20:06.500 It sounds like a lot, but it's a very small number.

00:20:08.640 So we're committed to $10 billion.

00:20:11.540 Together, we can achieve the dream of bringing

00:20:13.580 lasting harmony to a region tortured by centuries

00:20:16.580 of war, suffering and carnage.

00:20:18.920 They say 3,000 years.

00:20:21.060 And hopefully, we can lift up the eyes of the world to

00:20:23.760 envision how other intractable conflicts can be settled.

00:20:28.320 So many conflicts, I'd say, are impossible to settle.

00:20:31.020 And we get them settled.

00:20:31.920 We got, of those eight that we settled, most of them

00:20:35.800 were said to be not settleable.

00:20:39.040 And they not only got settled, they got settled

00:20:41.200 within days.

00:20:43.440 More impossible problems can be solved as we go along

00:20:46.340 this very beautiful path.

00:20:47.780 I think it's a beautiful path.

00:20:48.980 I think it's such an important day.

00:20:51.340 Even the weather is beautiful.

00:20:52.540 We walk in, it's beautiful.

00:20:54.380 Everything is beautiful.

00:20:56.240 But the ancient wounds can be healed, and they are

00:20:59.180 indeed ancient.

00:20:59.940 This has been going on for so many centuries that our

00:21:03.820 entire planet will be a better, safer, more

00:21:05.880 beautiful, and more peaceful place for us all.

00:21:09.480 We're going to be working with the United Nations

00:21:11.560 very closely.

00:21:12.320 We're going to bring them back.

00:21:13.260 I think the United Nations has great potential.

00:21:16.500 Really great potential.

00:21:18.120 It has not lived up to potential.

00:21:20.700 The eight wars, I never even spoke to them about one of them.

00:21:23.940 And I should be speaking to them about all of them.

00:21:26.940 Someday, I won't be here.

00:21:28.320 The United Nations will be, I think, is going to be much

00:21:32.220 stronger, and the Board of Peace is going to almost be

00:21:34.420 looking over the United Nations and making sure it

00:21:38.480 runs properly.

00:21:40.180 But we're going to strengthen up the United Nations.

00:21:42.260 We're going to make sure its facilities are good.

00:21:44.700 They need help, and they need help money-wise.

00:21:47.500 We're going to help them money-wise.

00:21:49.500 And we're going to make sure the United Nations is

00:21:51.740 viable.

00:21:53.180 And you have some very good people at the United

00:21:55.180 Nations who can do a good job.

00:21:57.240 But as I said, it's — I've said it for years —

00:21:59.040 United Nations has tremendous potential.

00:22:00.980 A lot of people didn't like when I said it.

00:22:02.540 They said, oh, you shouldn't say that because, you

00:22:04.980 know, we don't care about the United Nations.

00:22:07.320 No, it's really very important.

00:22:09.120 And I think it's going to eventually live up to

00:22:12.120 potential.

00:22:12.720 That'll be a big day.

00:22:14.220 So I want to thank everybody for being here.

00:22:15.900 You're my friends.

00:22:16.660 You're great, great leaders.

00:22:18.640 You're great people.

00:22:20.280 And I can honestly say, you know, you're strong

00:22:23.880 leaders, you're tough leaders in many cases.

00:22:25.880 And every single one that I'm looking at that's

00:22:28.940 right here, I've gotten to know and I've gotten to

00:22:31.340 respect.

00:22:31.840 And really, you're friends — you're friends of mine.

00:22:34.480 And if I can help you at all, you let me know.

00:22:36.420 But this is going to be something — the Board of

00:22:38.160 Peace will be something that — the likes of which

00:22:40.620 I don't think anybody has seen before.

00:22:42.820 And thank you all very much.

00:22:44.060 It's a great honor.

00:22:44.660 I'm going to ask J.D. Vance to come up and say a

00:22:46.600 few words.

00:22:47.100 Thank you very much.

00:22:48.000 J.D. Vance Well, thank you, Mr. President,

00:23:03.740 very much for your leadership, but also for the kind

00:23:06.120 words about me personally.

00:23:07.920 I knew exactly what I wanted to say, but then after the

00:23:10.580 President said that I was so smart and that I didn't

00:23:13.480 want to repeat our Congresswoman who froze for

00:23:15.420 20 seconds over in Munich.

00:23:16.820 Now I'm tempted, sir, just to freeze for 20 seconds and

00:23:20.360 just stare at the cameras and maybe they'll say nice

00:23:23.420 things about me like they do about Congresswoman Cortez.

00:23:26.320 But I have three very brief messages.

00:23:28.420 First of all, to the President of the United States, but to

00:23:31.400 the entire team — to Marco, to Steve, to Jared in

00:23:33.960 particular, who have done such an incredible job.

00:23:37.040 I think what this Board of Peace represents is a recognition

00:23:40.240 that if you actually have a President of the United States

00:23:43.120 and a team that's committed to diplomacy, it can actually work.

00:23:47.320 When I look at what happened to Israel on October the 7th, all

00:23:50.420 those innocent people who were murdered, the fact that you had

00:23:52.760 all of these hostages and, of course, a terrible war that came

00:23:56.160 from it, I remember thinking to myself, how is it ever going to be

00:23:58.920 possible to get these hostages home safely, to make it possible for the

00:24:03.500 people of Gaza to actually have a reasonable future, but also to

00:24:07.300 ensure that Israel is never attacked again?

00:24:09.200 It turns out the answer was you just needed a President who was

00:24:11.940 committed to the effort and committed to the work, and that's

00:24:14.440 what we had, thankfully, under the leadership of this President.

00:24:18.040 And you've got to make peace, but then you have to make the peace

00:24:20.620 stick.

00:24:21.620 And that brings me to my second point.

00:24:22.820 That's what the Board of Peace, I think, is fundamentally about,

00:24:25.180 is making the peace stick.

00:24:27.520 And it's an incredible thing that you guys have all done.

00:24:30.060 So to all of the leaders gathered here today who are

00:24:33.020 investing in the future, who are investing in peace, we're grateful

00:24:36.260 to you, we're grateful for your partnership.

00:24:38.500 And in particular, I think, to the President of Azerbaijan, the

00:24:42.160 Prime Minister of our media, who I just saw last week, thank you all

00:24:45.800 for making it possible and for showing what real leadership can

00:24:48.560 accomplish.

00:24:49.400 When you set aside weapons and killing and destruction and invest in

00:24:53.680 your people and invest in prosperity, it can create great things.

00:24:57.280 So thank you both for what you did.

00:24:58.680 I think it showed great leadership.

00:25:00.520 And finally, to the American people, I think it's important

00:25:02.920 that the American people recognize why we're here today.

00:25:06.420 And the reason that we're here today is, yes, to save lives and, yes,

00:25:09.800 to promote peace.

00:25:12.200 But this creates incredible prosperity for the American people.

00:25:15.740 The countries represented here represent trillions of dollars of

00:25:20.100 investment in the United States of America that would not have been

00:25:22.940 possible without this President's leadership and advocacy for peace.

00:25:26.720 The economies here represent millions of American jobs of people who are

00:25:31.400 receiving products built in American factories and made by American

00:25:35.420 workers would not be possible without a focus on peace.

00:25:39.000 So, Mr. President, while I think this is great for the world, I also think

00:25:42.060 it's really, really great for the United States of America.

00:25:44.600 So we're looking forward to the partnership.

00:25:46.000 With that, I want to turn it over to the emcee for the rest of the program.

00:25:50.880 And that is our great press secretary, Carolyn Levitt.

00:25:52.880 Thank you.

00:25:59.880 Well, congratulations, Mr. President and Mr. Vice President, for convening the

00:26:03.680 first ever Board of Peace meeting.

00:26:05.880 And we will now hear from our Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.

00:26:17.760 I'll be brief and to the point.

00:26:19.860 We want to talk a little bit about the strategic vision of this

00:26:22.060 organization and begin doing so by first acknowledging that we are here

00:26:25.440 today because the President has, the President of the United States,

00:26:28.660 Donald J. Trump, has both an ability and a willingness to use the power of

00:26:32.780 his office to think outside the box.

00:26:35.620 And that's why we're here today.

00:26:36.620 This was a very unique crisis in Gaza, one that the existing international

00:26:40.520 institutions could not solve or figure out.

00:26:42.920 It needed a very specific type solution that required the partnership of all

00:26:47.360 the nations that are here, including those that are here on an observer status.

00:26:50.700 And we appreciate you coming today and being a part of this as well.

00:26:53.860 And that's the point I want to drive home today.

00:26:55.600 And soon you'll hear from Steve and Jared, who, by the way, deserve an

00:26:59.180 incredible amount of credit for pulling this together and working countless hours

00:27:02.680 and traveling all over the world.

00:27:04.420 They truly deserve our appreciation and thanks for the work they've put in under

00:27:07.920 the leadership of President Trump to make this possible.

00:27:10.680 This Gaza situation was impossible to solve under orthodoxy, under existing structures.

00:27:16.400 And so what we did is they went to the UN and they got the UN's approval to put

00:27:19.460 this group together and bring these nations together to come up with a very specific

00:27:23.500 solution, solutions to a very unique and specific problem.

00:27:27.440 We have a long ways to go.

00:27:28.740 There's a lot of work that remains.

00:27:29.940 It will require the contribution of every nation state represented here today.

00:27:33.780 And we thank you for being a part of it.

00:27:35.780 And I hope that this we hope that this can serve as a model for other complex and

00:27:40.680 difficult situations so they can be solved in the same way.

00:27:43.180 But right now, the focus is on this one.

00:27:45.320 We have to get this right.

00:27:46.520 There is no plan B for Gaza.

00:27:48.360 Plan B is going back to war.

00:27:50.120 No one here wants that.

00:27:51.700 Plan A, the only path forward, is one that rebuilds Gaza in a way of enduring and

00:27:56.460 sustainable peace where everyone can live their side by side with one another and never worry

00:28:01.100 again about returning to conflict, to war, to human suffering, and to destruction.

00:28:06.300 And again, Mr. President, thank you for having the vision and the courage to pursue something

00:28:09.880 that has never been done before, and we're not done yet.

00:28:12.300 And thank you to Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for the time and the work they've put into

00:28:17.000 this.

00:28:18.000 And thank you on behalf of the State Department and the U.S. Government to all of the nations

00:28:21.380 that are here.

00:28:22.380 Every one of you is indispensable, including our observer partners, who we hope can find

00:28:26.480 your way to join us at some point as officially part of this.

00:28:29.480 But we are grateful for the fact you're here today and the contributions you've made already.

00:28:33.380 Thank you.

00:28:34.380 Thank you, Marco.

00:28:39.520 We will now hear from our Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.

00:28:48.060 Thank you, everybody, for being here.

00:28:51.140 I don't know if we ever believed that this was possible when we first started envisioning

00:28:56.260 a Board of Peace.

00:28:57.660 But of course, under the President's indispensable leadership, and it begins with that, it begins

00:29:03.320 with President Trump's leadership and his direction.

00:29:07.060 We are here today, and it's pretty amazing.

00:29:09.640 I think we have some people to thank.

00:29:12.080 We had an amazing partnership between the mediating countries, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey.

00:29:20.000 Prime Minister Mohammed, you are an exceptional human being.

00:29:23.520 You really are.

00:29:24.840 Ali, thank you for everything you did.

00:29:27.800 That's you right over there, Ali.

00:29:30.440 Wherever Haqqan is, Haqqan, you are amazing.

00:29:34.800 And so was Ibrahim and President Erdogan.

00:29:39.520 And of course, to the Egyptians, Badr, I know you're smiling because we went through so much.

00:29:46.620 And General Hassan was amazing.

00:29:48.980 We all became friends here.

00:29:51.700 And Prime Minister Sisi, President Sisi, pardon me.

00:29:57.660 And so many others.

00:29:59.520 But our team, J.D., your insight, your counsel, and Marco, you're an amazing secretary and it's

00:30:06.520 a privilege to work for you.

00:30:08.720 And Jared, you are my dear friend and the best partner I ever had.

00:30:12.960 You are an amazing person.

00:30:14.780 But, Mr. President, it is my greatest honor to work for you.

00:30:19.140 It is the blessing in my life.

00:30:21.220 I've had many blessings.

00:30:22.460 I don't have to be a practicing lawyer anymore, but this is my greatest blessing.

00:30:28.100 But I also have to mention one other person who is important to this discussion.

00:30:32.540 Oh, the Israelis, I forgot.

00:30:34.540 Prime Minister Netanyahu.

00:30:36.600 Without him, much wouldn't have been accomplished as well.

00:30:40.420 And that's really important that we acknowledge him here today and Ron Dermer.

00:30:45.280 But a person who doesn't care much about the acclaim, we have to acknowledge too.

00:30:54.260 And that's you, Sisi.

00:30:56.260 Because I would come back and you would say to me on every trip, what can I do for you?

00:31:01.640 This matters.

00:31:03.460 And you are an inspiration for all of us.

00:31:06.180 So, I thank everybody and let me get on to, am I going on to the next slide?

00:31:13.040 Sure.

00:31:14.040 Caroline?

00:31:15.040 Sure.

00:31:16.040 Okay.

00:31:17.040 So, with regard to the hostages, we're here today, again, I say it, I know it sounds redundant,

00:31:23.940 but we're here today because of President Trump.

00:31:26.460 Without him, none of this was possible.

00:31:29.380 There were 251 hostages.

00:31:31.760 168 came out alive.

00:31:34.520 Eighty-three bodies were returned to their families so that they could grieve and remember

00:31:42.080 their loved ones like in a normal way, in a way that brought their families together.

00:31:50.500 So that was just as important.

00:31:53.420 This was a monumental effort.

00:31:56.300 And I want to tell a story about the President.

00:32:00.700 Every time a hostage family came to visit with us, they were not on the President's schedule.

00:32:06.460 I would walk down to the Oval Office, I would tell the President that there was a hostage

00:32:10.840 family here, and he would say, Steve, bring them up.

00:32:14.860 Every single time.

00:32:17.240 And when we got the last 20 out, we had a celebration at the White House.

00:32:22.000 And I could see the emotion on the President's face.

00:32:25.560 And he came up to me and he said to me, I have to tell you, this is my fifth year in the

00:32:31.280 Oval Office.

00:32:32.960 And I don't know that I've ever had a more special time than this moment with these people seeing

00:32:38.920 them come home.

00:32:48.140 And I said to the President, you have to look around because none of them would be home without

00:32:52.780 you, sir.

00:32:53.780 None of them.

00:32:55.120 So I only want to tell you, Mr. President, you gave me my greatest honor to work on this.

00:33:01.060 So here's what we're going to do.

00:33:03.140 We're going to stream the remainder of this on the Board of Peace opening.

00:33:08.160 I think Jared's going to come up and speak in a moment.

00:33:10.020 We're going to go back if there's any additional news.

00:33:12.500 President broke huge news this morning.

00:33:15.220 We've got to go to Georgia.

00:33:16.820 And we've also got an analysis of what's happening in Iran.

00:33:21.140 Some of the big news.

00:33:22.200 I hope the audience understands something.

00:33:24.220 President Trump, this structure of the Board of Peace, I believe, is his structure of international

00:33:30.720 coordination of relationships going forward.

00:33:33.740 He said he wants it to oversee the United Nations.

00:33:36.740 So we're going to go back.

00:33:37.780 We're going to go back.

00:33:38.760 Any additional news?

00:33:40.180 I'd like to go.

00:33:41.300 And we have a cold open.

00:33:42.540 Can I play the cold open on Georgia right now?

00:33:44.980 Let's go and play the cold open.

00:33:46.280 We got the entire Georgia crew ready to talk about 2020 and 2026.

00:33:50.800 Let's go and play the cold open.

00:33:52.620 The good thing when they cheated on the election, they made me wait four years.

00:33:57.360 And because I waited four years, I get the 250th year.

00:34:00.720 And then they cheated on the election.

00:34:02.340 And I said, now we won by so much.

00:34:05.800 We won by millions of votes.

00:34:07.200 But they cheated.

00:34:07.860 It was during a COVID period.

00:34:09.240 And they cheated.

00:34:10.240 The voter roll pre-merge, the voter history files pre-merge, both show four votes each.

00:34:17.060 But the absentee voter file doesn't show that that person even requested the absentee ballot

00:34:22.440 returned it.

00:34:23.580 So that says no votes there and no votes for the election day voting.

00:34:28.060 So again, it just goes on to show how bad the data is in Georgia, that you can't really

00:34:35.900 audit an election if voter history files, voter rolls, nothing matches, which makes it very

00:34:42.180 difficult to say.

00:34:43.760 I mean, I can't say with any certainty that these people voted at all.

00:34:46.900 But what I can say is the data shows votes and the data shows no votes.

00:34:53.200 So really what we need is a clean system where everybody knows who voted, how they voted,

00:34:59.320 and anybody can do an audit of the election.

00:35:01.640 So that's the biggest problem here.

00:35:02.860 And the other problem is the fact that I, as a citizen, found 10,000 people registered more

00:35:09.300 than once in Fulton County when the ERIC system claims that they find duplicates and merge them.

00:35:15.460 Secretary of State claims they find duplicates and merge those.

00:35:19.400 And the county, according to Georgia law, is supposed to, from time to time, maintain the

00:35:25.740 voter rolls.

00:35:26.500 They failed also.

00:35:27.580 So I think I'm in the wrong position as a citizen to do ERIC's job, Secretary of State's

00:35:33.260 job, and Fulton County's job, and then identify or do my best to identify fraud in this state.

00:35:39.100 Everybody's failing, and a citizen should not be doing this job.

00:35:42.800 Part of this, Vaughn, is about elections and democracy, but part of this also is about Stephen

00:35:49.040 Miller's project to expel people from this country.

00:35:52.140 And I think that the part about this is, when you're looking at the idea of the Great

00:35:59.500 Replacement Theory, it has been used to essentially try to galvanize Republican voters around the

00:36:05.220 country, and especially the 2018 midterms, the 2022 midterms.

00:36:10.200 And that's the idea that Democrats want immigrants to come into the country so that they can vote.

00:36:15.560 And there is just a reality that there is no evidence of widespread or even significant or

00:36:23.040 even minuscule voting by undocumented individuals in the country in American history.

00:36:29.680 And I think that this is sort of, you know, it reminds me of also, there was this big investigation

00:36:35.420 by the Republican Attorney General out in Arizona back in 2022, in which there were allegations,

00:36:41.140 conspiracy theories of dead people voting.

00:36:42.720 And he did everything he could.

00:36:44.820 He was an ally of Donald Trump, and essentially, he came up with nothing and had to put that

00:36:49.060 forward and was ridiculed by Republicans.

00:36:51.120 And I think that this is another example of the ways in which, six years into this, they

00:36:57.060 are struggling to find new conspiracies or new claims and allegations of fraud to justify

00:37:04.240 the way in which Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.

00:37:07.120 And I think it's important that there are still individuals within the White House, Stephen

00:37:11.440 Miller, but also at the local level, like one of the state election board members here

00:37:16.500 in the state of Georgia, who just about an hour and a half ago, the words that she said

00:37:21.220 were, quote, we want free and fair elections in Georgia, because right now we do not.

00:37:25.680 That is one of the individuals that in real time here in the state of Georgia, just seven

00:37:29.380 months from the midterm, has helped shaping election administration policy here in this

00:37:34.160 pivotal, pivotal state.

00:37:35.400 This has not been, you know, a one and done or a one off kind of exercise.

00:37:41.740 This has been a concerted effort since the formation of Project 2025.

00:37:46.080 Yes.

00:37:46.360 This is something that many groups out there have war gamed and have looked at.

00:37:51.000 And the reality of it is, comes home when you have the Justice Department or in this particular

00:38:00.580 case, Kristi Noem's office, seeking voter data and registration information.

00:38:08.420 We've got all but three states have received the DOJ request for voter information.

00:38:15.140 You've got the red states that you see on the screen have refused.

00:38:19.180 The yellow states have received the request, have not provided information.

00:38:23.600 Those five states and the green states have provided or intend to provide that information.

00:38:27.960 And I want to highlight them.

00:38:30.760 They are Arkansas.

00:38:31.960 They are Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana,

00:38:41.800 Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.

00:38:47.940 What does that tell you that the states that are given over the voter data, right, are these

00:38:54.480 red states who seemingly don't give a damn about what how their voters are going to be

00:38:58.860 impacted by what they find or how they use that data?

00:39:03.800 It goes to the point that I've been saying to Republicans, y'all need to get off stupid

00:39:07.680 because how do you think we win elections in the Republican in a general election with voters?

00:39:13.780 We do mail-in ballots, right?

00:39:16.620 We work the mail-in ballots.

00:39:18.100 We do early voting.

00:39:19.600 We we work the system in every system is different.

00:39:23.300 So what does this say that you have these states just, you know, because the blue states

00:39:29.260 that they ain't going that we know they're not playing.

00:39:31.400 I don't know what the five yellow states are thinking about.

00:39:34.560 But whatever it is, y'all need to come to your senses.

00:39:37.120 Here's the thing.

00:39:37.820 We have to also understand that the premise for all of this, which is 20, 20 fraud and

00:39:41.780 everything, this is it's not TNT.

00:39:43.320 It's not cold case, right?

00:39:44.220 There's no there's no mystery that they're going to discover at this particular point.

00:39:47.660 This is all about intimidation.

00:39:49.520 It's going to hurt Republicans, like you said, because when I get a letter to my house saying,

00:39:53.200 is there somebody in your house who's not legal?

00:39:54.820 Maybe you're not allowed to vote.

00:39:56.180 Years ago, we used to say, oh, they're just giving misinformation, disinformation.

00:39:59.460 Now it's about intimidating people.

00:40:01.340 Expect to see ICE agents attacking people in early voter lines.

00:40:05.040 That's the kind of thing that we're going to see happening.

00:40:07.080 And so Republican states need to say no.

00:40:09.620 The Democrat states need to say no.

00:40:11.020 And people need to vote with this in mind, because when everyone said a couple of years

00:40:14.740 ago, this might be the last free and fair election.

00:40:16.880 And people who didn't want to vote said, you guys are hyper, hyperbole exaggerating.

00:40:20.540 This is what we're talking about.

00:40:21.680 If you don't want to see armed guards following you and your family when you try and vote this

00:40:25.600 fall, you've got to vote these people out.

00:40:29.780 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:40:34.680 Pray for our enemies.

00:40:35.880 Because we're going medieval on these people.

00:40:39.920 You're just not going to get a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:40:44.160 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:40:46.140 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:40:47.560 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop

00:40:50.000 it.

00:40:50.200 It's going to happen.

00:40:51.260 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:40:54.860 Mega media.

00:40:55.780 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:41:01.700 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:41:05.400 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:41:11.620 War Room.

00:41:12.620 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:41:14.680 Bannon.

00:41:15.020 Okay, it's Thursday, 19 February, Year of the Lord, 2026.

00:41:23.440 We're going to juggle a lot this morning.

00:41:25.220 We're streaming live.

00:41:26.380 I think Grace has got up.

00:41:27.400 We're streaming live the second part of the Georgia election board about Fulton County.

00:41:33.000 I think that's going to go till noon Eastern Standard Time, but we'll cover it to its conclusion.

00:41:37.880 We're also still streaming the Board of Peace.

00:41:41.900 That's going to go for, I think, a couple more hours.

00:41:44.240 We're going to stream that.

00:41:45.120 I think other people are going to get up and talk.

00:41:47.080 President gave remarks, made a bunch of news this morning.

00:41:49.940 Of course, good talks by Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio,

00:41:54.800 Steve Witkoff.

00:41:55.980 We cut off right when Jerox is coming up.

00:41:57.960 That's the streaming.

00:41:58.940 We'll play highlights of all of that later.

00:42:01.280 The president is going to leave.

00:42:02.440 He's going to head down to Georgia to the former MTG's district.

00:42:06.640 He's going to go and see factories and go around.

00:42:11.120 There's also going to be a rally.

00:42:13.140 Real America's Voice will cover that live.

00:42:14.880 Look at the president's a couple hours late right now.

00:42:17.640 That may be in our 5 o'clock show.

00:42:19.860 6 o'clock tonight, War Room, Texas.

00:42:22.180 So that's the logistics.

00:42:23.260 I want to go now to Jason Frazier, the star of yesterday's, because we've got to get this.

00:42:29.440 We have to get Georgia in because it's so important.

00:42:31.580 You heard the mainstream media last night, MSNBC.

00:42:34.100 They're wargaming out.

00:42:36.640 Because we've got to get to the railhead of 2020 because it's going to have a direct impact on 2026.

00:42:42.320 Jason Frazier, can you just tell people who you are and why yesterday you stopped the gobbledygook of the woman who was there?

00:42:51.860 And I just want to make sure, and I know a lot of the War Room Engine rooms already told me, says you've got to have her saying she was only retained on Monday.

00:42:58.440 I'm going to have that in the next block.

00:43:00.600 Jason Frazier, who are you and why were you like the voice of reason yesterday and like the adult in the room, sir?

00:43:08.000 Yeah, I mean, I'm just a guy that got involved after 2020.

00:43:12.560 I had never been in politics.

00:43:14.180 I didn't even know there was a voter roll.

00:43:16.160 I mean, I didn't even know there was a Fulton County GOP at the time.

00:43:19.580 I just saw a problem, wasn't sure what was real.

00:43:22.960 So I ended up getting a voter roll looking at it.

00:43:25.980 And once you start seeing things, you find thousands of people registered multiple times.

00:43:30.680 You find dead people on the voter rolls.

00:43:32.440 You find tens of thousands of people that have moved out of state.

00:43:35.100 And that gets you more engaged.

00:43:38.680 That tells me I need to do something because nobody else will.

00:43:42.620 I mean, the first time I took an error, I found somebody that had passed away 10 years ago on the voter rolls.

00:43:49.400 I took it to the Fulton County Board of Elections.

00:43:51.840 And I said, what do you do with this?

00:43:54.140 And the registrar at the time said, I don't know.

00:43:57.140 Nobody's ever brought one of these to me before.

00:43:58.800 And I'm just thinking, I live in a county, one of the biggest counties in the country, and they don't even know what to do when there's a dead person on the voter rolls.

00:44:07.180 I mean, it blew my mind.

00:44:08.900 So then kind of fast forwarding to yesterday, as I got involved.

00:44:12.940 Hold it.

00:44:13.220 Hang on.

00:44:13.600 But hang on.

00:44:14.020 But hang on.

00:44:14.640 Hang on.

00:44:14.980 Hang on.

00:44:15.340 Hey, Jason.

00:44:16.020 Hang on.

00:44:16.240 This is so important.

00:44:18.220 Go back in time.

00:44:19.140 The entire world, the entire direction where we would not have 20 to 25 million illegal aliens on the street.

00:44:28.800 The streets of America are living here.

00:44:30.560 We wouldn't have these huge contentious conflicts between ICE agents trying to do their jobs with local authorities in this revolution that's taken over the streets.

00:44:42.540 None of that would have happened if Georgia had been sorted out in 2020.

00:44:47.960 I wanted to go back in time and talk to me about the original because I'm going to get to the future.

00:44:52.040 But how you first got involved and how I've got Joe Hoft and Harry Howery again saying that there's no way they could have certified this.

00:44:59.580 Is it possible?

00:45:00.300 We've got two minutes before we're going to break.

00:45:01.960 Your thoughts?

00:45:03.660 I absolutely agree.

00:45:04.860 I mean, everything I've seen in 2020, no two data sets match.

00:45:09.080 I mean, you look at the voter history files.

00:45:10.900 You look at the list of who voted on Election Day.

00:45:13.560 You look at who voted early in person or by mail.

00:45:16.480 No two sets a day to match anywhere.

00:45:19.900 So, again, if you can't audit an election, you can't certify an election.

00:45:24.360 And that's where we're at in 2020.

00:45:26.380 And that's where we've been at since 2020 and probably way before that.

00:45:30.620 I mean, that's just when I got involved.

00:45:32.160 And, I mean, there are errors, clerical errors.

00:45:35.900 They like to call them continuously everywhere you look.

00:45:38.840 So, it's just run very sloppily and it makes you kind of wonder, are they just doing this haphazard so you can't audit it?

00:45:46.680 So, that way there can't be a trail on did we pad the voter rolls?

00:45:51.680 Did we pad votes?

00:45:53.460 Nobody can really tell because everywhere you look, there's another clerical error.

00:45:58.400 I mean, that's their common answer everywhere.

00:46:00.720 Jason, hang on for a second.

00:46:03.220 We're in a hole.

00:46:03.880 We got Georgia.

00:46:04.580 We're streaming the Georgia Election Board.

00:46:07.620 We're streaming the Board of Peace.

00:46:09.460 We're doing board work today.

00:46:11.440 Major news geopolitically in Georgia.

00:46:14.780 Of course, the President's Day is both.

00:46:16.460 He's geopolitically in the Board of Peace.

00:46:17.780 But he's going to Georgia.

00:46:18.980 You know why?

00:46:20.420 Georgia's one of the most important states in the union.

00:46:23.720 And it is the most important state for getting to the bottom of 2020, the stolen election.

00:46:28.200 And we must drive, drive, drive, drive to do that.

00:46:32.940 You would have never had Bruce Springsteen's song.

00:46:35.000 You would have never had this conflict in the streets of America.

00:46:37.700 You would have never had 25 million illegal alien invaders.

00:46:42.460 If Jason Frazier had been listened to back in 2020, short break, back in the room in a moment.

00:46:48.080 A new year means new financial goals, like making sure your savings are secure and diversified.

00:47:05.760 Will this be the year you finally listen to me and talk to someone from Birch Gold Group?

00:47:11.780 Honestly, they're great people.

00:49:57.400 Now is the time to resolve your tax matters.

00:50:00.980 With the national conversation around abolishing the income tax,

00:50:05.160 the IRS is fighting back and proving it's here to stay by becoming more aggressive than ever before.

00:50:12.220 They're sending out more collection notices, filing more tax liens, and collecting billions more in recent years.

00:50:19.760 If you owe, the IRS can garnish your wages, levy your bank accounts, seize your retirement, and even your home.

00:50:27.820 If you owe or haven't filed, it's not a question of if the IRS will act.

00:50:33.940 It's a question of when it will act.

00:50:36.840 Right now, Tax Network USA is offering a completely free IRS research and discovery call

00:51:35.820 Tell them Bannon sent you.

00:51:37.320 Don't let the IRS be the first to act.

00:51:41.520 Take advantage of first mover advantage.

00:51:44.300 You move.

00:51:44.900 All I said was, do you have dedicated data analysts to stay on top of this?

00:51:51.920 I understand you have routine procedures as far as registration goes,

00:51:55.340 but I'm saying, does Fulton County Board of Elections and Registration have any data analysts,

00:52:02.220 as it is a moving target, as you said, with voter registration,

00:52:05.660 that go through and do, in general, like what Mr. Frazier has done?

00:52:10.100 And that would be a yes or a no answer.

00:52:12.560 I cannot answer that question.

00:52:15.220 I was retained Monday, so I haven't had these kind of detailed descriptions.

00:52:19.660 But also, I don't know what he is doing.

00:52:22.940 I don't know what databases he's using because we don't receive that from the Secretary of State.

00:52:28.540 He is using publicly available data, so you don't have to be anybody special to do what he's doing.

00:52:34.860 And there are, I'm sorry, there are lots of items that we use.

00:52:39.040 We get the error data, we get information from the Secretary of State, we get obituary records, we get felon records.

00:52:45.120 There's all kinds of items that are used, as well as this process that we've laid out in the policy,

00:52:52.140 which is apparently not working.

00:52:58.140 Respectfully, that is...

00:53:00.020 Hang on.

00:53:01.120 Let me have it.

00:53:01.740 This is everything, folks.

00:53:04.780 Let me get Frazier back in here.

00:53:06.040 I got Harry Harri.

00:53:06.820 He's got more breaking news on this.

00:53:09.620 Because if you want to take this republic back, we've got to get to the railhead of the stolen election of 2020.

00:53:15.240 Look at everything that's fallen from that.

00:53:18.040 Look at the war.

00:53:18.660 You think the Board of Peace?

00:53:20.580 Gaza would have never happened.

00:53:22.160 Ukraine would have never happened.

00:53:23.620 There are millions of people that are dead about this.

00:53:25.900 The world's in turmoil.

00:53:28.340 We're financially upside down and going to be incredibly difficult to recover from those years.

00:53:33.620 And we've got 25 million invaders in the country.

00:53:36.840 And now we're fighting street warfare to try to get them out.

00:53:40.460 All because of what you saw in that room.

00:53:45.520 Oh, I was just retained on Monday.

00:53:47.740 It's performative.

00:53:49.540 They understand they got nothing, so they want to send some bureaucrat up.

00:53:52.800 They want to retain her on Monday, and you've got to go in and just say gobbledygook to confuse people, to confuse them.

00:53:59.560 And what is Frazier?

00:54:01.960 What is Frazier?

00:54:03.180 Jason Frazier is just, that is the American Revolution.

00:54:07.120 That's 1775 right there.

00:54:09.520 Just dug in.

00:54:10.460 Lady, I'm sorry.

00:54:12.160 Everything you're saying is nonsense.

00:54:13.600 I just took publicly available data, and here's what it shows.

00:54:17.200 They will do everything to obfuscate this.

00:54:19.720 Why do you think we're going to court next week?

00:54:21.380 They're trying to get the evidence back.

00:54:23.660 Why do you think they got Abby Lowell down there?

00:54:26.620 Why do you think they got Norm Eisen down there?

00:54:28.900 Because they understand this is everything right now.

00:54:31.540 And my God, the heroism of the Georgia election board and hanging in there, and now they're going to subpoena.

00:54:41.480 And the only thing I didn't like, don't subpoena Raffensperger to show up at your regular meeting next week or next month.

00:54:47.040 Have an emergency meeting on Monday and get him up there.

00:54:50.100 Jason Frazier, your thoughts about, oh, I was just retained on money.

00:54:56.140 And she had led up to that.

00:54:57.280 I'm sitting there watching this thing.

00:54:58.280 I go, this is just corporate.

00:55:00.300 I've said enough corporate.

00:55:01.680 I've done enough due diligence on companies to know that when you're just getting somebody just blowing smoke to buy time.

00:55:08.580 Jason Frazier.

00:55:10.060 Yeah, she was clearly dancing up there.

00:55:14.200 She knew they didn't have the goods.

00:55:15.980 I mean, I think she's just used to being able to talk a talk.

00:55:20.900 It's Fulton County.

00:55:21.920 Nobody ever questions them.

00:55:23.420 Well, I had all the receipts on my laptop.

00:55:25.460 I mean, if you were watching that video, I was hitting alt tab going from one file.

00:55:30.300 Here are the voter rolls from before the merge.

00:55:33.340 Because they kept claiming that, oh, it was a merge issue and we had somebody double registered.

00:55:39.300 The voter history files.

00:55:40.540 We have this new system now.

00:55:42.020 So the old system, there were errors.

00:55:45.140 Well, I had the previous data.

00:55:47.360 I have the new data.

00:55:48.920 I had all the data that they could look at because I didn't trust the Secretary of State.

00:55:52.920 So I downloaded that before we got our new system.

00:55:56.500 So they had nothing to say.

00:55:58.140 And after I showed the facts, I mean, her dance just stopped.

00:56:01.620 I mean, they had, what else do you say to that?

00:56:04.760 But this is the thing.

00:56:05.840 They've been doing this for years.

00:56:07.040 This is why it's so important.

00:56:08.280 We have to stick the landing now.

00:56:10.920 We have two, we're going on two tracks here.

00:56:13.020 One, they're trying to, and the court's trying to get the evidence back.

00:56:15.880 The other is the Georgia election board.

00:56:18.660 We have your back 1,000%, you patriots on there, to basically take control of Fulton County.

00:56:24.440 And they're going to melt down in Amendment 7C.

00:56:26.340 And I'm saying you're going to have ICE agents around the polls to make sure you can't have illegal aliens in their voting.

00:56:32.160 And you're going to have control of these.

00:56:34.260 And by the way, take Maricopa County over next.

00:56:36.840 They should take Philadelphia after that.

00:56:38.540 You just have to run the tables, and everything was stolen in 2020.

00:56:43.080 Jason, hang on for a second.

00:56:44.420 Harry Howery.

00:56:45.620 Harry Howery.

00:56:46.760 You guys put out a press release this morning.

00:56:50.160 Tell me about these data sets.

00:56:51.860 I got a couple of minutes.

00:56:53.080 I think you buried the lead on your press release.

00:56:55.600 I want to talk about these.

00:56:56.820 You say you have enough information now that people, that authorities could pursue criminal prosecutions against people.

00:57:04.900 What did you come up with?

00:57:05.960 What's this about Georgia, and why are you using the C word?

00:57:09.740 Why are we talking criminal and not just certification?

00:57:13.820 Well, because we have to hold these people responsible for what they've done to our country.

00:57:17.940 I mean, they're stealing trillions of dollars from the federal treasury for their own pet projects, and they're not even legitimately present in Washington.

00:57:27.400 So at least in 2020, this is the case, right?

00:57:30.620 So what we've concentrated on, and I agree with Jason completely, and we have the same type of analysis on the voter rolls.

00:57:39.760 The voter rolls pretty much in 2020 everywhere in the country were broken.

00:57:44.160 Somewhere along the way, they decided to help America Vote Act, and the requirement under law to keep accurate voter rolls was something optional to the states, and it's not optional.

00:57:57.880 Matter of fact, there's a criminal provision directly in the Help America Vote Act that requires them to obey certain things with regard to the voter registration rules, the certification of the vote, and whatnot.

00:58:10.120 And I know Department of Justice, because I've been working with them, has been looking into enforcement of the criminal provisions of the Help America Vote Act, amongst other election law.

00:58:22.020 The fact, though, that what we've – go ahead.

00:58:24.580 Okay, just hang over one second.

00:58:25.780 I'm going to hold you through the break.

00:58:26.740 We're going to get more of it.

00:58:27.840 Yes, mainstream media, when you pull the clip today, he's working in the Department of Justice on bringing criminal charges.

00:58:35.140 This is the crime – this is the greatest crime in American history.

00:58:38.160 They stole the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, in Arizona, in Pennsylvania, in Michigan.

00:58:47.280 Oh, and let's throw in Wisconsin for good measure.

00:58:50.280 President Donald John Trump won the 2020 election.

00:58:54.440 Full stop.

00:58:56.680 And at the tip of this fight right now, as Michael Steele says, people are wargaming this.

00:59:01.020 Yes, there is wargaming going on, right?

00:59:03.380 Because this is political warfare and information warfare, and it has a direct, direct, direct bearing on this 2026 midterm and where they think they're going to stop the resurgence of President Trump.

00:59:15.720 We're going to take a short commercial break.

00:59:18.920 We're live-streaming Georgia Election Board.

00:59:20.840 We're live-streaming the Board of Peace in D.C.

00:59:22.540 President Trump's at the Board of Peace.

00:59:23.840 He's heading to Georgia for a rally this afternoon in the Peach State.

00:59:30.000 Short commercial break.

00:59:31.220 We're going to take care of all of it and explain it all to you next in the War Room.
