Bannon's War Room - Episode 5155： War Brews In Iran; Preventing The Failure Of 2020 Election In Fulton County

00:00:00.700 Prime Minister Orban of Hungary, who has my

00:00:04.080 complete and total endorsement for election.

00:00:07.200 Not everybody in Europe loves that endorsement,

00:00:10.620 but that's okay.

00:00:11.220 He does an unbelievable job.

00:00:12.920 He's done an incredible job on immigration,

00:00:15.940 unlike some countries that have hurt themselves,

00:00:19.780 but they're working on it.

00:00:21.260 But I just want to let you know, you have my total

00:00:23.420 and complete endorsement, and I'm putting it out.

00:00:25.660 I already did, but I'm putting it out again.

00:00:28.320 And you're coming up with an election, and I

00:00:30.560 think you should be good.

00:00:32.560 I'll tell you, Milley did pretty well.

00:00:33.960 He was a little down, right?

00:00:35.660 And then he was — he ended up winning in a landslide.

00:00:37.960 So that's pretty good.

00:00:39.240 You're going to do great, Victor.

00:00:40.300 Thank you very much for being here.

00:00:41.500 I appreciate it.

00:00:42.240 You run a great country.

00:00:44.240 Prime Minister Sharif — I like this man — of

00:00:48.580 Pakistan, because there was some fighting going on

00:00:53.720 when I got to know him.

00:00:55.080 And you're Field Marshal General — great, great

00:00:58.920 general, great Field Marshal, a great guy.

00:01:02.920 And I got to meet the Prime Minister.

00:01:07.320 And he said in front of our Chief of Staff, Susie

00:01:09.520 Wells, who's right here — he said, you know,

00:01:13.200 nobody knows us, but I believe that President Trump

00:01:18.540 saved 25 million lives when he — when he stopped the

00:01:23.440 war between us and India, right? 0.99

00:01:25.280 You made that statement.

00:01:27.140 He said 25 million lives?

00:01:28.520 Could have been much more, actually.

00:01:30.440 But it's — it was really a beautiful thing.

00:01:32.720 You said that in front of a group of people that was —

00:01:35.360 they walked out.

00:01:36.020 They don't think about it, but you're talking about

00:01:38.080 that kind of lives.

00:01:40.460 But this meeting today is proof with determined

00:01:42.820 leadership nothing is impossible.

00:01:45.300 When I took office, the war in Gaza was raging with

00:01:47.800 thousands of people being killed and no end in sight.

00:01:51.100 Today, thanks to unrelenting diplomacy and the

00:01:53.660 commitment of many of the great people in this room —

00:01:56.740 we have 59 countries signed up on Gaza.

00:02:01.240 Think of that.

00:02:02.720 We have — it's amazing.

00:02:05.180 But all the people — many — really, so many in 0.99

00:02:07.660 this room — the war in Gaza is over.

00:02:10.920 It's over.

00:02:11.460 There are little flames — little flames.

00:02:13.980 Hamas has been — I think they're going to give up

00:02:17.320 their weapons, which is what they promised.

00:02:19.880 If they don't, it'll be — you know, they'll be

00:02:21.500 harshly met — very harshly met.

00:02:23.120 They don't want that.

00:02:24.320 We're going to be working with the United Nations

00:02:26.400 very closely.

00:02:27.160 We're going to bring them back.

00:02:28.100 I think the United Nations has great potential.

00:02:31.340 Really great potential.

00:02:32.960 It has not lived up to potential.

00:02:35.540 The eight wars — I never even spoke to them about

00:02:37.600 one of them.

00:02:38.780 And I should be speaking to them about all of them.

00:02:41.740 Someday I won't be here.

00:02:43.140 The United Nations will be, I think, is going to be

00:02:46.820 much stronger.

00:02:47.580 The Board of Peace is going to almost be looking

00:02:49.620 over the United Nations and making sure it runs

00:02:53.680 properly.

00:02:55.020 But we're going to strengthen up the United Nations.

00:02:57.120 We're going to make sure its facilities are good.

00:02:59.520 They need help, and they need help money-wise.

00:03:02.320 We're going to help them money-wise.

00:03:04.320 And we're going to make sure the United Nations is

00:03:06.560 viable.

00:03:08.000 And you have some very good people at the United

00:03:10.000 Nations who can do a good job.

00:03:12.060 But as I said, it's — I've said it for years.

00:03:13.860 The United Nations has tremendous potential.

00:03:15.840 A lot of people didn't like when I said it.

00:03:17.400 They said, oh, you shouldn't say that because, you

00:03:19.840 know, we don't care about the United Nations.

00:03:22.140 No, it's really very important.

00:03:23.940 And I think it's going to eventually live up to

00:03:26.940 potential.

00:03:27.540 That'll be a big day.

00:03:31.440 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:03:36.220 Pray for our enemies, because we're going

00:03:38.960 medieval on these people.

00:03:41.460 You're just not going to get a free shot at all these networks

00:03:43.420 lying about the people.

00:03:45.660 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:03:47.700 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:03:49.100 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but

00:03:50.900 you're not going to stop it.

00:03:51.740 It's going to happen.

00:03:53.000 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:03:56.380 Mega media.

00:03:57.840 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:04:03.180 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:04:07.080 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:04:13.280 It's Thursday 19th February in the year of our Lord, 2026.

00:04:22.120 Okay, we're going to keep, we're live streaming the Georgia election board.

00:04:26.020 We've got Jason Frazier, we've got the Joe Hoft, and we have Harry Hari.

00:04:30.860 We're all going to go back to that in a moment on exactly what happened in Georgia, the implication

00:04:36.560 of what it means for 2026.

00:04:38.100 But I want to pivot now.

00:04:39.860 President Trump broke tons of news day.

00:04:42.000 I told you right there, he's looking at this Board of Peace as a overall infrastructure guidance

00:04:48.620 for an infrastructure kind of oversight layered on top of the United Nations.

00:04:54.980 This is like San Francisco in 1945.

00:04:57.460 You're seeing the creation of a new institution.

00:04:59.380 He said President Trump says they're destroying institutions.

00:05:02.380 I don't think so.

00:05:03.860 He's there to, I think, rejuvenate institutions and get rid of the ones that are not working.

00:05:07.440 The UN is clearly not working.

00:05:08.900 The UN Security Council is not working.

00:05:11.840 He's doing something different.

00:05:13.920 I want to go to, and he said 10 days, he's about 10 days away from making a decision on

00:05:21.080 the situation in Tehran.

00:05:23.780 So, Brandon, you were on here, I think, three weeks ago, and you said, hey, Steve, look,

00:05:27.960 I understand, you know, you got Kurt Miller, you got all these guys talking about us, President

00:05:32.080 Trump negotiating, does he want to end up a nuclear deal?

00:05:34.900 And he said today, they got to, they got to totally abandon any nuclear weapons program

00:05:38.700 or is just enrichment, is ballistic missiles, is a regime change.

00:05:42.300 You said, hey, look, they can talk about anything they want.

00:05:45.300 Steve Whitcoff and Jared are doing good as job as he is, but that's just, he's just buying

00:05:49.580 time, he's tapping people along to get military assets in the region, and then he's going to

00:05:54.680 strike.

00:05:55.480 Has anything happened over the last 48 hours to change your mind, sir?

00:06:00.440 Unfortunately, no.

00:06:01.600 And you know, I'm hopeful.

00:06:02.880 I was hoping that Kurt would be right.

00:06:04.840 But right now, it looks a lot like Trump is still leaning in the direction of military

00:06:10.520 strikes.

00:06:11.520 He has moved even more Air Force assets into the region.

00:06:15.580 Then he's gone in and he's now positioning the USS Gerald R. Ford that's going to be on

00:06:22.260 station, they're saying, as early as this Sunday.

00:06:25.300 The Abraham Lincoln is still in the Arabian Sea.

00:06:27.700 Looks like it's been tucked again behind the mountains of Oman, which means it's in a strike

00:06:33.020 position, kind of.

00:06:35.000 But it looks to me that the president is going to go in, or rather, he's going to let Netanyahu, 0.67

00:06:41.520 like he did last year, initiate a strike.

00:06:44.580 Then we will come in and sort of mop up whatever the Israelis can't get. 1.00

00:06:49.660 And in the meanwhile, you know, I would expect the price of oil to spike.

00:06:54.300 I would expect this to have very significant consequences, not only for our position in

00:06:59.060 the region, because the Iranians are not just going to take it lying down, but I would 0.98

00:07:02.900 expect this to have negative consequences for the president in the midterms, because

00:07:06.340 this will hurt the economy here.

00:07:08.020 Hang on, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

00:07:11.460 We'll get to all that in a minute.

00:07:12.900 But the president just said right there something else very powerful.

00:07:16.760 And by the way, we're streaming the Board of Peace, and people want to dip into that.

00:07:20.020 Um, he said, Hey, the Board of Peace was set up initially for Gaza, but he says, I've

00:07:25.460 got peace in Gaza and we're going to figure it out.

00:07:27.260 Right.

00:07:27.420 Tony Blair, I think is there a day he's going to be named executive director.

00:07:30.380 You've got the cutter, you've got Turkey, you've got everybody. 1.00

00:07:32.700 If he's got peace and the Guardian has a, uh, and if Elizabeth and Grace and Mo can make

00:07:38.180 sure people see it in the chat, the Guardian's got a story where the United States is working

00:07:43.140 with the international, what is it, security group of, uh, Qatar, Turkey, um, you know,

00:07:50.180 Egypt, UAE, they're building a 5,000, they're going to build a 5,000 man security.

00:07:55.560 They're going to build a 5,000 troop and or other logistics personnel, intelligence personnel

00:08:01.620 in Gaza at base.

00:08:04.060 That's going to be the headquarters of the international, uh, security group, not peacekeeping,

00:08:09.880 but security group, president Trump said today, look, he says, you're going to flare

00:08:13.520 ups and you're going to have Hamas and kind of dismissing Netanyahu is over.

00:08:17.020 They haven't, you know, they haven't laid down the weapon.

00:08:18.800 So there's no deal.

00:08:19.960 I mean, he completely smashed that given everything that's going his way in his mind in Gaza.

00:08:26.380 Why would he now turn when he's got people like Qatar and Saudi saying, we're not ready

00:08:32.060 to our gas fields are not ready.

00:08:35.080 Our oil fields are not ready to take particularly, uh, potentially stray ballistic missiles from

00:08:42.140 Iran.

00:08:42.980 Do you know, they're going to shoot back and we could lose control of our gas fields.

00:08:46.600 I think Qatar's telling people five to seven years, why would he risk that given the fact

00:08:51.360 he's pulled, let's be blunt.

00:08:53.400 He's pulled a miracle out of the hat.

00:08:54.960 Now, if you support a two state solution, which we don't, but it's a two state solution.

00:09:00.260 He's pulled a miracle in Gaza.

00:09:02.020 Why would he risk that by putting, by putting all the chips back in the middle of the table

00:09:06.680 in Tehran?

00:09:08.460 Trump seems fixated on these protesters.

00:09:11.580 And, uh, and the reason I say that I think he made a decision to go in long ago is it goes

00:09:17.980 back to that true social post in the early January weeks, uh, when he said help is on the

00:09:23.360 way.

00:09:23.820 Uh, I think Trump is being moved emotionally by that.

00:09:28.060 I think that Trump is being moved into this position by Netanyahu.

00:09:32.800 Uh, I agree that the Gaza situation has gotten better, uh, but I don't believe that's any

00:09:39.840 longer the primary driver here geopolitically for why the, uh, for why the two are, um, are

00:09:46.920 getting into, uh, this situation that Israel and the United States, I believe that, uh, the

00:09:53.600 president has decided he's going to go in.

00:09:56.160 He wanted to go in January 15th.

00:09:58.260 As you note, he was called off by the Arabs and the Turks.

00:10:01.460 He wanted to go in three weeks ago when I was last on the show, but the Navy said, we're

00:10:05.540 not ready yet.

00:10:06.340 But now those factors are no longer as much of a concern.

00:10:10.900 The Saudis have indicated that they are willing to participate in shooting down, uh, any stray 1.00

00:10:16.340 missiles that might be fired by Iran in retaliation for strikes.

00:10:19.900 The Israelis are indicating they are going to go in no matter what, which is going to 1.00

00:10:23.940 drag us in.

00:10:24.860 And the Navy and air force are saying, okay, we're basically ready to roll.

00:10:29.380 And, uh, I think Trump wants to have Israel's back.

00:10:32.200 And this is something I think is a mistake, but I do believe that he has made this decision

00:10:36.680 irrespective of what's going on in Gaza.

00:10:39.800 Okay.

00:10:40.320 So the UK, I think there's a, there's a tweet out from, uh, one of the financial sites saying

00:10:45.180 that the UK saying that we can't help support this right now.

00:10:48.380 Why do you give me a, before I get Jim Rickards on, give me, give me a minute in your assessment.

00:10:53.200 Cause you've been the guy all along saying this is happening.

00:10:55.620 Why do you think in happening that it's a mistake?

00:10:59.540 Because it's going to have negative, excuse me, negative impacts on the economy here during

00:11:03.860 the midterms.

00:11:04.460 I have no problem saying, let's get rid of the regime in Iran.

00:11:07.460 I just don't think right now is a time to do that.

00:11:09.920 And I don't think the way we're talking about doing it is going to be good.

00:11:13.040 We're not, it's not going to be a quick, easy thing.

00:11:14.820 It's good.

00:11:15.160 This is going to drag us in and we're never going to be able to break ourselves free.

00:11:18.860 And people are going to be blaming Trump for this.

00:11:20.760 Like they blame George W.

00:11:21.900 Bush for Iraq.

00:11:22.820 I think that we should be avoiding this, drawing down our forces in the Middle East and starting 0.99

00:11:28.300 to focus, as you know, on Western hemispheric defense and space dominance.

00:11:32.100 We do not need to be in the middle of this fight.

00:11:34.680 Let the locals figure it out and they will.

00:11:36.900 But if we keep intervening, we're going to keep distorting the geopolitics and it's going

00:11:41.100 to give Israel all kinds of ideas that they can do more than they really can. 0.65

00:11:44.640 And it's going to cause us to get into a major regional war.

00:11:47.820 We can't afford it right now.

00:11:49.820 Brandon, where do they go to get all your writings?

00:11:51.360 I know you're focusing on a magnum opus about the hemispheric defense.

00:11:54.960 Where do people go to get all your content?

00:11:56.840 You can check me out.

00:11:58.240 Nat Sec Talk on Rumble.

00:12:00.360 I interview really interesting experts.

00:12:01.940 Check me out on Twitter at WeTheBrandon and 1945.com where I'm a senior national security

00:12:08.480 editor.

00:12:09.560 Thank you, brother.

00:12:11.100 Thank you, sir.

00:12:12.580 Jim Rickards joins us.

00:12:13.780 Jim, Captain Fennell can't be on this morning.

00:12:16.300 He told me, though, that he thinks it'll take a week or two to get air certification between

00:12:20.940 the two carriers that are there.

00:12:25.620 He thinks the strike will take place.

00:12:27.240 If strikes take place at around 15th of March, maybe the 17th at the end of Ramadan.

00:12:31.460 Your assessment overall, Jim, you're our major geopolitical thinker.

00:12:35.720 We got two minutes on this side.

00:12:37.080 We're going to hold you through. 0.92

00:12:38.340 What in the hell is going on?

00:12:39.620 Yeah, I think that assessment is pretty good.

00:12:42.820 I had circled March 10th, but March 15th is close enough.

00:12:46.220 It won't be.

00:12:46.980 The New York Times is saying it could be in a matter of days.

00:12:49.220 Well, that just means that Gerald Ford gets to Israel.

00:12:53.380 It's in the Mediterranean.

00:12:54.560 They're not going around to the Arabian Sea.

00:12:57.140 They'll go in the Mediterranean.

00:12:58.100 They'll be off the coast of Israel.

00:12:59.240 Now, that could be on station there in a couple of days, but that doesn't mean you're ready

00:13:03.840 to launch the next day.

00:13:05.160 So I think early March, March 10th, maybe a little bit sooner is a likely date.

00:13:09.720 That gives the Iranians time to come back. 1.00

00:13:12.120 They ended those negotiations a couple of days ago.

00:13:15.440 They say we'll be back in two weeks with a plan.

00:13:17.940 I don't know if Trump's going to give them two weeks.

00:13:19.720 That remains to be seen.

00:13:21.040 But I wouldn't expect anything in a matter of days.

00:13:23.580 But a couple of weeks, yes.

00:13:25.520 But when you talk about a strike in Iran, and it is more likely than not, the thing

00:13:30.680 with the Iranian position, Steve, the Iranian position, it's not just uranium enrichment.

00:13:37.800 They've kind of mastered that, although they've been set back with the raid last year.

00:13:42.720 But that's just part of it.

00:13:44.760 You've got to get the highly enriched uranium, then you have to make a device to see if it

00:13:49.060 works, then you have to make a bomb, which is a completely different thing.

00:13:52.580 And then if you want to put it on the missiles, get it miniaturized, and then you have to

00:13:55.820 have the ballistic missile.

00:13:56.740 So what Trump is saying, I think this is smart, is it's not just your enrichment capability.

00:14:00.980 We want you to end your ballistic missile program.

00:14:03.480 We want you to end these other research programs that could lead up to that.

00:14:07.180 For Israel, of course, it's existential. 0.75

00:14:09.180 We have strategic depth, and we have plenty of ways to strike back.

00:14:12.620 But one nuclear strike in Tel Aviv, that's pretty much the end of Israel.

00:14:17.060 So they don't really have any room to wait on this.

00:14:20.800 The Iranians won't agree to that. 1.00

00:14:22.620 Hang on one second.

00:14:24.680 I want to get to the punchline after the break.

00:14:27.060 Jim Rickards, Strategic Intelligence.

00:14:29.780 We have a landing page.

00:16:31.500 But do not despair.

00:16:33.720 The Calvary is coming.

00:16:35.060 Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis

00:16:41.920 to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour.

00:16:49.600 We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America, American democracy,

00:16:57.940 American freedom, our American Constitution, and our sacred American dream.

00:17:04.200 All of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington, D.C.

00:17:11.620 Everyone, regardless of where you stand or what you believe in, is welcome.

00:17:15.600 So come on out and join the united free republic of E Street Nation for an American spring of

00:17:23.180 rockin' rebellion.

00:17:24.400 I'll see you there.

00:17:26.780 I think with the culture, what they're arguing for, let's just cut to it.

00:17:30.120 They want the 25 million illegal alien evaders to stay, full on. 0.82

00:17:35.340 You think you can negotiate with that?

00:17:38.540 It's not negotiable.

00:17:39.780 One side's going to win and one side's going to lose.

00:17:42.520 One side's going to win and one side's going to lose.

00:17:44.620 It's not negotiable.

00:17:46.680 I want to go back to Jim Rickards.

00:17:49.020 We're going to go back to Georgia.

00:17:50.080 Does everybody keep sorted?

00:17:51.380 We got to get to this, understand this war.

00:17:53.280 Rickards, give me, let's pull back the camera for a second because this is what you're best

00:17:59.780 at, the combination of geopolitics, finance, capital markets, economy, all that.

00:18:05.300 What is the hurry?

00:18:07.440 On a nuclear ballistic missile, they're years away from having anything close.

00:18:11.660 Come on, man.

00:18:12.240 They're not even close.

00:18:13.460 The ballistic missiles almost took out Tel Aviv in the first war.

00:18:17.500 This is one of the reasons Trump stepped in with that expeditionary force to end the

00:18:21.880 12-day war.

00:18:23.120 It's the biggest guy saying they don't want to do this now is Qatar and UAE and the Saudis.

00:18:29.060 Well, maybe not UAE, but Qatar and the Saudis saying we're not prepared with our oil fields

00:18:32.720 right now to protect them against not intercontinental ballistic missiles, but the interim ballistic

00:18:38.100 missiles that the Revolutionary Guard has.

00:18:41.420 So what is the logic that's driving this now, particularly given everything in the United

00:18:47.000 States, the world economy?

00:18:48.300 You've still got Ukraine where you've got 3 million dead.

00:18:53.620 I mean, what is the drive of doing this besides the fact that Benjamin Netanyahu and the Imperial 0.65

00:19:00.020 Israel Expansion Project wants to go do it?

00:19:04.620 Well, that may be it.

00:19:05.640 The thing is, Steve, if you take your view, you're probably right that the nuclear ballistic

00:19:10.200 missile for Iran is some years away.

00:19:12.500 I think that's probably the case.

00:19:14.020 Hold it.

00:19:14.700 Don't hang on.

00:19:15.400 Hang on.

00:19:15.840 Hold it.

00:19:16.440 Hang on.

00:19:16.820 Stop.

00:19:17.180 Full stop.

00:19:17.580 I don't want to take it from Steve Bannon.

00:19:18.780 I am no expert in this.

00:19:20.000 I'm a grundoon.

00:19:20.680 I was a lieutenant, equivalent of like a Marine or Army captain in the Navy on a junior guy

00:19:26.240 on the ship and then the Pentagon.

00:19:28.040 Do you agree with me?

00:19:29.100 But I see the war cabinet minutes.

00:19:31.620 I see everything.

00:19:32.660 And yes, this is a potential.

00:19:34.520 And they're enriching, but there's no real program.

00:19:37.660 It's years away.

00:19:38.660 Is it not months away, sir?

00:19:41.200 Well, they are years away from a nuclear warhead on a ballistic missile, make it small

00:19:46.840 enough, reliable enough, durable enough, et cetera, to fire at Israel. 0.82

00:19:49.960 So that is correct.

00:19:51.660 However, they don't have to go that far.

00:19:53.220 There's something called a nuclear device.

00:19:54.820 It would basically be a bomb, like a truck bomb type of thing.

00:19:58.560 You have to figure out a way to get it in there.

00:20:00.840 But I don't think that's the driver.

00:20:02.160 What's driving it is Iran's ballistic missile production, I'm not talking about nuclear 0.95

00:20:07.960 missiles, just regular missiles, is at a point, it's so robust that it could overwhelm

00:20:12.580 the Iron Dome.

00:20:14.040 And that's probably the case.

00:20:17.000 And Iran is making great technological advances in undersea, autonomous undersea drones.

00:20:22.600 Their drone factories are huge.

00:20:24.880 And their missile production is enormous, hundreds of missiles a month.

00:20:29.140 So the point is, they could actually overwhelm Israel without using nuclear weapons. 0.64

00:20:33.300 And that's what Israel is concerned about.

00:20:35.160 And that is, that gets to be, well, we saw, we saw, we saw part of that.

00:20:40.800 That's what we'll get dragged into this immediately.

00:20:42.560 We saw part of that in the 12 day war.

00:20:44.220 I mean, Tel Aviv, it's never been fully disclosed how much Tel Aviv was getting hammered

00:20:49.160 because David Sling and the Golden Dome, all these, they work, but they can't work against

00:20:52.460 that kind of mass.

00:20:53.420 Why is it though, that the people that are putting the most restraint on this were the people

00:20:58.380 years ago that want to take out Tehran? 0.91

00:21:00.080 I'm talking about Qatar, the Turks, I think, Saudi, they're all sitting there going, hey,

00:21:04.520 I don't know if we're ready for this, sir.

00:21:07.100 Well, I just talked about the Iranian ballistic missile capability and the drones, et cetera.

00:21:11.620 They don't have to be aimed at Israel exclusively.

00:21:13.920 They could be the Eastern region of Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Arabian oil fields, gutter, natural 1.00

00:21:18.680 gas fields.

00:21:19.540 Those are all targets once you, if the US attacks, the US and Israel attacks, everything's 0.59

00:21:25.360 on the table from the Iranian point of view.

00:21:27.440 And I want to kind of make one point, Steve, about why I think this is more likely than

00:21:31.120 not.

00:21:31.820 The United States has 11 so-called carrier strike groups, basically aircraft carriers with

00:21:37.320 kind of larger armadiers around them.

00:21:39.520 But at any given time, seven of them, they're in maintenance, repair, crews get a break,

00:21:43.740 et cetera.

00:21:44.220 We really only have four good to go.

00:21:46.880 It's the Lincoln, the Ford, the George H.W. Bush, and Teddy Roosevelt.

00:21:50.480 Trump's putting two of them in the arena.

00:21:53.140 That's 50% of our ready nuclear, or sorry, carrier strike group capability.

00:21:58.620 That's huge.

00:21:59.200 That's not a bluff.

00:21:59.980 That's not for show.

00:22:01.160 You do that when you're getting ready to attack.

00:22:03.420 Now, the other point is, what kind of attack will this be?

00:22:07.360 There are not going to be boots on the ground.

00:22:08.820 Iran is one of the largest countries in the world in terms of landmess, population of over

00:22:12.960 70 million.

00:22:13.980 This is one of the largest populations in the world.

00:22:16.260 It's mountainous, the desert, et cetera.

00:22:17.760 You're not going to invade Iran in that sense. 0.60

00:22:19.560 This is going to be a decapitation strike.

00:22:22.500 This is going to come in two waves.

00:22:24.000 Number one, you take out the air defense.

00:22:26.080 You attack the factories.

00:22:28.000 The factories making the drones, the autonomous undersea drones, et cetera, that I talked about.

00:22:32.380 Attack those factories.

00:22:34.400 Take out the air defenses.

00:22:35.440 Take out the missiles.

00:22:36.180 That's phase one. 0.93

00:22:37.640 Then phase two is a decapitation strike. 1.00

00:22:40.400 Kill the leadership. 1.00

00:22:41.220 Are they going to capture the supreme leader?

00:22:43.500 How many, like we do with Maduro, seems unlikely, but they may.

00:22:48.260 They may try something like that.

00:22:49.560 But basically, get Iran past this theocratic leadership and then let the Iranian people

00:22:56.080 decide to kind of be in Venezuela.

00:22:58.660 Do you agree, though, that what Scott Besson was doing with the currency, I mean, you're

00:23:02.820 the expert on currency wars.

00:23:04.820 He brought them to their knees a month ago.

00:23:06.420 This is why people are taking the streets.

00:23:07.980 Do you believe there's an economic warfare alternative?

00:23:10.340 It's probably a compliment.

00:23:13.800 The answer is economic warfare is absolutely part of this.

00:23:16.360 And I'll give the Obama administration was pretty good at economic warfare on Iran in the

00:23:21.480 run-up to the JCPOA, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

00:23:25.400 The deal was awful.

00:23:26.860 But getting the Iranians to the table through sanctions worked pretty well in 2010, 2011. 0.71

00:23:32.180 We can do that again.

00:23:33.780 But now you've got the Chinese. 1.00

00:23:35.500 The Chinese need Iranian oil.

00:23:37.700 What kind of embargo do you put on?

00:23:39.800 But it's a two-edged sword.

00:23:41.080 Can we do it to them?

00:23:42.100 Yes.

00:23:42.900 But can they close the Straits of Hormuzh?

00:23:45.260 Now, a lot of people say, well, the Iranians will send their Navy in and we'll sink their

00:23:49.140 ships or whatever.

00:23:49.900 It's not that easy.

00:23:50.680 They're going to use mines. 0.99

00:23:51.460 They're going to use – they have their own autonomous submersible vehicles.

00:23:55.080 Can we find them to them?

00:23:56.280 But hang on.

00:23:57.180 If we – having been – sailed the Straits of Hormuzhs back in 79 and 80, if they close

00:24:03.460 the Straits of Hormuzhs, that's slit in their own throat. 0.90

00:24:06.720 They never get another cargo.

00:24:08.460 The Chinese – there's no real pipeline. 1.00

00:24:11.220 You've got to ship it out in these kind of ghost fleets.

00:24:14.480 I hear people say that.

00:24:15.920 But isn't that the Ayatollah basically just taking Besson and Trump's economic warfare

00:24:21.760 strategy, slitting their own throats?

00:24:23.860 If you block it, no Iranian oil gets to the Chinese Communist Party.

00:24:27.560 Therefore, 80 percent of your cash flow that you've got right now is – and I think President

00:24:32.560 Trump's talking about anybody that trades oil with them, saying you're blocked from

00:24:36.720 the United States 100 percent.

00:24:38.180 So if they did that, doesn't that exacerbate their economic problem, which has brought them

00:24:43.720 to virtually their knees right now?

00:24:45.920 Right.

00:24:46.720 But that kind of proves my point, which is if we're going to use economic sanctions and

00:24:50.340 oil embargoes to choke them off, then they don't lose anything.

00:24:53.800 In other words, if we've economically closed the Straits of Hormuzhs by cutting off Iranian 0.99

00:24:58.480 oil exports, then physically, kinetically closing the Straits doesn't cost them anything

00:25:02.880 because they're already out of the oil market.

00:25:05.780 But yeah, I agree with you.

00:25:06.900 If we want to let the Iranian oil flow, then yeah, cutting off the Straits of Hormuzhs would 1.00

00:25:10.480 hurt them.

00:25:11.380 But if we do it anyway by seizing the vessels or tracking ghost fleets, and we can do all

00:25:16.900 of that, then they may feel they don't have a lot to lose.

00:25:20.200 We've got a couple minutes here in the break.

00:25:22.260 We'll hold you all clear.

00:25:23.000 He's with us.

00:25:23.580 We've got to go back to Georgia.

00:25:25.660 Steve Stern's with us on a big announcement of what's happening today in the precinct

00:25:28.580 strategy.

00:25:29.480 Rickards, we've got about two minutes here.

00:25:31.600 Jim.

00:25:32.800 The part of the discussion of the three-hour meeting when Bibi was over here, Bibi saying,

00:25:36.900 look, if you guys can't get it together or you don't want to do it, I'm going in.

00:25:41.080 And we're going to need some traditional help on air defense, right?

00:25:44.740 Which is Egypt's cruisers last time.

00:25:46.520 And people don't realize how much Tel Aviv was getting hammered.

00:25:49.800 If Bibi decides to go it alone, does Israel try to go it alone? 0.53

00:25:54.000 What logistical and defense capacities from the United States will they need?

00:25:58.080 Is there any way the Iranians will not interpret that as us being a combatant, sir? 0.98

00:26:05.080 No.

00:26:06.360 It's very hard to see Israel going it alone.

00:26:08.560 Could they lead the attack, fire the first shot, et cetera?

00:26:11.500 Absolutely.

00:26:12.120 They probably will.

00:26:13.680 But without a U.S. air defense, the U.S. ability to suppress, you have to suppress Iranian 1.00

00:26:19.180 air defenses.

00:26:20.000 And they've been supplemented since the last attack with Chinese help. 0.52

00:26:23.820 And don't underestimate, I'm sure you don't, the extent of Chinese and Russian help.

00:26:27.860 Now, they're not going to have boots on the ground either.

00:26:30.100 But surveillance, intelligence, don't rule out electronic warfare, electronic cyber warfare.

00:26:36.820 The Russians, Chinese, and Iranians are all pretty advanced in that.

00:26:40.760 Could all of a sudden systems in the United States start to go down?

00:26:43.940 Don't rule that out.

00:26:44.900 So this could escalate in a lot of different ways.

00:26:48.160 But I agree that the Iranians would not really distinguish between an Israeli attack and the U.S. 0.96

00:26:52.980 And the U.S. could help them without, you know, sending B-2 bombers.

00:26:56.740 But that would prove, that would involve us.

00:26:59.280 Jim, in 30, you're going to stick around.

00:27:01.060 We're holding you to the break.

00:27:01.660 30 seconds.

00:27:02.880 How long is, if the air, if the package and the target set is regime change led by the United States air,

00:27:11.100 how many weeks of bombing does that take in your assessment right now?

00:27:16.180 Probably a couple of weeks, but not necessarily longer than that.

00:27:19.380 Look, you're either going to succeed or fail.

00:27:20.900 That's the point.

00:27:21.540 It's kind of a little binary.

00:27:22.740 If you succeed, you should succeed fairly quickly.

00:27:25.180 But it might be a few weeks for what we're talking about.

00:27:27.800 But if you fail, then all bets are off.

00:27:30.060 Then I think, you know, the Straits of Fremuzer in play, Saudi Arabia is in play.

00:27:33.900 You know, the countries could, it could escalate pretty rapidly, probably would.

00:27:38.620 Do we ever get peace in Ukraine now if this strike goes on and it metastasizes?

00:27:44.100 30 seconds.

00:27:45.040 Do we get peace in Ukraine?

00:27:47.520 No, because Zelensky won't go for it.

00:27:50.700 But, you know, Steve, good point.

00:27:52.460 We lost seven Patriot anti-missile systems in Ukraine, about a billion dollars each, by the way.

00:27:58.660 I think the U.S. wishes they had those back to protect U.S. assets in the Middle East.

00:28:02.420 Jim, hang on for one second.

00:28:04.360 Rickards is with us.

00:28:05.480 Cleo's with us.

00:28:06.440 The whole crew in Georgia's with us.

00:28:08.120 Steve Stern's with us.

00:28:09.440 We will figure it out when we get back.

00:30:01.420 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:30:03.580 Bannon.

00:30:05.280 Okay.

00:30:06.600 I'm bringing Steve Stern.

00:30:08.360 The precinct strategy, which was one of the underpinnings of President Trump's amazing come from behind victory in 2024,

00:30:15.540 is under a massive assault throughout the country.

00:30:17.620 In Texas, we're actually going to do a special tomorrow when we're in Texas to talk, show you people how the Republicans,

00:30:23.220 not the left, the republic.

00:30:24.500 The left is actually picking up the idea of precinct strategy.

00:30:27.920 This is one of the reasons they're getting more powerful.

00:30:30.000 On the right, the Republican establishment is trying to destroy the precinct strategy because it's giving working class and middle class people too much power in these states.

00:30:39.400 We're going to have a special tomorrow about what's happening in Texas.

00:30:41.520 You will be shocked.

00:30:43.940 Steve Stern, under the great chairman emeritus, our brother Dan Schultz, you've launched this new site.

00:30:51.560 A very important meeting this morning.

00:30:52.960 I think you've got almost all 50 states this afternoon at 2 o'clock.

00:30:56.140 Walk through what's going to happen.

00:30:57.420 The precinct chairs, you're bringing people together throughout the country to talk about a plan to go forward.

00:31:01.480 Yep, this is every state is now in and multiple people from the states, many new people.

00:31:08.780 We're going to get 200,000 new committee men, committee women.

00:31:13.280 We're going to have monthly newsletters so everybody can see what's going on.

00:31:17.240 Videos posted, training, manuals.

00:31:20.420 Everything's going to be gone there.

00:31:21.880 Or go to precinctprojectusa.org.

00:31:26.340 Email me, estern1054 at gmail.com.

00:31:29.800 If you're a committee chair or vice chair and want to come on today.

00:31:33.460 I know we don't have a lot of time today because we got cut off by President Trump, but this is going to be exciting.

00:31:38.260 We'll report on it next week.

00:31:40.040 Thank you for having me come on again.

00:31:41.580 Two o'clock today, we'll have 50 states, at least 200 people.

00:31:45.900 Thank you very much for getting us on.

00:31:47.320 And I'm going to get you on tomorrow to give a summary of the thinking of all the precinct chairs and all the people you have on.

00:31:54.140 It's not open to the public today.

00:31:55.960 You can go to the site.

00:31:56.920 Give the site one more time to sign up.

00:31:59.460 We're going to have Stern back on tomorrow to give an assessment of where the thinking is.

00:32:03.160 I will tell you, I know many of the people who joined the precinct strategy across the country understand that the establishment played smash mouth.

00:32:09.660 They've tried to destroy a lot of people.

00:32:11.120 But it's now, in Texas, you can see where it's actually formalized.

00:32:15.400 They've actually gone and raised money to come out and look like you're, you know, you're actually supporting the precinct strategy when you're actually trying to destroy the precinct chairs and the people that have signed up.

00:32:26.180 So, Stern, where do people go today to get to your new site?

00:32:29.540 And then you'll be back on tomorrow to report on this meeting you're having this afternoon.

00:32:35.300 Precinctprojectusa.org.

00:32:36.460 We'll answer you.

00:32:37.260 We have staff there waiting for anybody that has information or wants to get information today.

00:32:41.580 Thanks again.

00:32:42.240 We'll see you tomorrow.

00:32:43.520 Thank you, brother.

00:32:44.100 Uh, Cleo Pascal, you were absolutely essential on, on, uh, on, uh, Diego Garcia, which president Trump now it's very evident.

00:32:52.400 It's a major strategic asset.

00:32:54.040 I get to that maybe this afternoon.

00:32:56.200 You were the hero in this.

00:32:57.920 Uh, but our great allies, the guys were actually dealing with over there, the British, the United Kingdom government.

00:33:03.740 What did they just make public?

00:33:05.380 And there's an article out.

00:33:06.440 What did they make public about being such a great ally when president Trump's trying to think through his strategic alternatives?

00:33:11.940 So there's been reporting in the times, the UK times, that one of the reasons for president Trump coming out so clearly and strongly yesterday is that, uh, the UK has, as the headline says, been blocking Trump from using our Royal Air Force bases for strikes on Iran.

00:33:29.780 Uh, especially, uh, there's the key base RAF Fairford, which is where the U.S. heavy bombers for all of Europe are stationed.

00:33:37.040 There's quite a few of them there.

00:33:38.000 Um, and apparently they've been using, uh, legal arguments to say that, uh, strike on Iran would not, not necessarily be legal.

00:33:46.260 And so they're not going to let the U.S. use the bases.

00:33:49.080 And this legal argument is something that they've brought up before, uh, with not supporting the strikes on the drug boats as well.

00:33:56.260 So this raises a whole bunch of questions, some of which we started with yesterday about where the UK stands in terms of an ally.

00:34:03.220 And if it's really a five eyes, uh, quality partner.

00:34:07.000 Well, hang on a second, Claire, stick right there. 0.54

00:34:08.940 So, so, uh, Jim Rickards, what are we talking about?

00:34:15.700 They're talking about a 20 year security guarantee in Ukraine and that the UK and France would be the frontline troops.

00:34:22.420 And they put troops in there.

00:34:23.700 You just, there's stiffening you right there.

00:34:25.120 I'm, I am against an airstrike into, into, into Tehran.

00:34:29.520 Cause I think there's many other ways we can get there, but the president of the United States has got to have every alternative on the table.

00:34:35.960 Cause he's got a thousand million times more information than we have, but an ally.

00:34:40.820 And you're talking about an ally now, that's absolutely central India, Garcia.

00:34:44.760 They're saying we came and used the bomber bases.

00:34:46.920 How, how can anybody take anything seriously about Ukraine and these people, sir?

00:34:52.020 Well, you can't, uh, uh, and particularly with regard to Ukraine, I mean, France, Germany, UK, they talk a good game.

00:34:58.580 They've made some financial guarantees.

00:35:00.220 They don't have much of a military themselves.

00:35:01.880 They could scarcely defend themselves.

00:35:03.500 They couldn't muster three divisions against, you know, uh, 20 Russian frontline divisions and 20 more waiting to come in behind them.

00:35:11.320 Uh, it's really, Ukraine is all about the United States and Russia and Russia's demands have not changed in four years. 0.56

00:35:17.160 But from before the war until today, they haven't changed.

00:35:20.420 Kiev won't agree.

00:35:21.220 Okay.

00:35:21.440 The war is going to come on.

00:35:22.400 The only thing that changes is how much territory do you lose?

00:35:25.280 The longer you fight, the more you lose.

00:35:27.320 It's as simple as that.

00:35:28.740 So the UK is not going to do anything.

00:35:30.520 The security guarantees, that's just Kiev, uh, it's just, uh, Zelensky's way of trying to get U.S. boots on the ground so he can start World War III. 0.53

00:35:38.400 Uh, and I don't think the U.S. will ever do that.

00:35:40.440 But, uh, so, so that's going nowhere except Russian victory. 0.91

00:35:43.600 So, but, but the UK, uh, like you said, their, their, their own military is badly depleted.

00:35:48.380 Uh, I'm not sure why they're denying U.S. any help with regard to random legalistic arguments.

00:35:54.000 Uh, you know, it's a great point, but they're kind of a joke.

00:35:56.680 I mean, who looks at a law book when you're starting a war?

00:35:59.180 Maybe when it's, when it's over.

00:36:00.960 Um, but the, you know, the, the only good news is Sarmer has maybe, you know, a couple of weeks left, uh, before he's out.

00:36:06.980 Okay.

00:36:07.380 Well, hang on for a second.

00:36:08.120 I want to go back to, you're known as a capital markets guy, financial guy.

00:36:12.260 Um, if President Trump goes forward, it does this strike, which really could be a decapitation strike.

00:36:19.860 What happens to the world economy?

00:36:21.340 What's your best sense right now?

00:36:22.540 Because President Trump, I think, believes from the 12 day war in Venezuela, I think he feels he's going to come in strong.

00:36:29.340 If he does come in, it'll come in strong.

00:36:31.300 It'll be relatively quick.

00:36:32.880 Uh, and we'll get this thing, you know, he'll pass through this pretty quickly.

00:36:36.560 What is your assessment of that?

00:36:37.940 And what do you think impact on global capital markets?

00:36:42.260 Um, not that much.

00:36:44.720 I think global capital markets are fairly robust.

00:36:46.800 The idea of dumping U.S. treasuries is, uh, is overstated.

00:36:49.980 It's not really happening.

00:36:50.980 You can't dump U.S. treasuries because there's nowhere else to go.

00:36:54.080 I mean, what are you going to do?

00:36:54.820 Buy Italian bonds?

00:36:55.840 Okay.

00:36:56.360 There aren't that, there are a lot of them, but, uh, is that really a good substitute?

00:36:59.980 So that, that's not going to happen.

00:37:01.620 Um, the, I guess the, the bad news, good news situation is that there's no shortage of oil.

00:37:06.580 Even if you close the Straits of Hormuz, it would hurt China.

00:37:09.520 It would not hurt the United States.

00:37:10.460 We've got plenty of oil, plenty of natural gas.

00:37:12.980 Um, and, uh, even Europe has been able to get, you know, get natural gas from the United States

00:37:17.300 to make up from Russia.

00:37:18.160 And Russia's still supplying the world.

00:37:19.500 So there's, it's not really an oil glut.

00:37:21.740 It's more like a decline in demand.

00:37:23.520 I mean, supply and demand go together.

00:37:25.420 Demand is collapsing for not good reasons, which has to do with the fact that the U.S.

00:37:28.840 economy is slowing down and the European economy is in recession.

00:37:32.120 So I don't think you'll see the super spike in oil prices that people predict, even if

00:37:37.660 the Iranians take steps to close the Straits of Hormuz, because there's plenty, there's 1.00

00:37:41.240 plenty of oil bonds, a little, uh, a little more difficult for, uh, for China.

00:37:45.020 Um, the treasury market will do fine.

00:37:47.040 Uh, the thing is the dollar shortage is propping up the treasury market.

00:37:50.060 So I don't think it'll be a financial catastrophe.

00:37:53.260 There might be other problems, other problems unrelated to Iran down the road, but I don't

00:37:56.800 think the Iran war will be one of them. 0.76

00:37:59.180 Rickards, uh, Jim, where do people go to get strategic intelligence right now?

00:38:02.600 You're all over this and give me a minute on what is predictive analytics?

00:38:05.560 Why is that set your newsletter apart?

00:38:08.100 Uh, particularly your predictions and your, not predictions, but your kind of forecast of

00:38:12.380 where things are headed.

00:38:13.340 Why is predictive analytics so important?

00:38:16.080 Yeah, thanks, Steve.

00:38:16.660 We have a landing page.

00:38:17.900 It's Rickardswarroom.com.

00:38:20.060 Rickardswarroom.com, uh, where you can go, you can subscribe to strategic intelligence.

00:38:25.000 That's our flagship newsletter, uh, you know, to be a modest, but we think we have the best

00:38:29.700 predictive analytic models going, you know, in, uh, in 2024, we said we were the only ones,

00:38:36.020 the only ones who said Trump is going to get 312 electric votes, uh, electoral votes.

00:38:40.140 We stuck the landing 2016 against 92% odds.

00:38:44.020 We said Trump was going to win.

00:38:45.340 We were right.

00:38:46.180 We said the UK was going to leave the EU, uh, when the polls were 75% remain, we got that

00:38:53.100 right.

00:38:53.340 So we have a long history of that.

00:38:54.480 We're not smarter, but we have better models.

00:38:57.320 Um, we use Bayesian theory.

00:38:58.860 We use complexity theory.

00:39:00.160 We use a lot of input, subject matter, expertise, et cetera.

00:39:02.760 So, so we, we pride ourselves on that.

00:39:05.100 And what we tell readers is we're not going to tell you what just happened.

00:39:07.720 We're going to tell you what happens next.

00:39:10.380 Uh, Jim, uh, one more time.

00:39:12.420 Where do people go?

00:39:15.040 Rickardswarroom.com.

00:39:16.980 Rickardswarroom.com.

00:39:18.000 Go there.

00:39:18.380 You can subscribe to strategic intelligence.

00:39:20.840 And that's our flagship newsletter.

00:39:22.340 It's, uh, where we, you know, we, uh, basically continually tell people, well, you know, what's

00:39:27.020 coming, what's going to happen next with a very good track record.

00:39:29.880 And we thought, I, I became familiar with Jim's thinking on this great book, Seminole

00:39:35.420 War, Currency Wars.

00:39:36.440 And of course he throws in a free book, Money, GPT, Fiat Currency and Artificial Intelligence.

00:39:42.440 Jim Rickards, thanks for joining us this morning.

00:39:44.600 Thanks.

00:39:46.260 Cleo, closing thoughts.

00:39:47.660 UK, I think president Trump's next stop is to say, look, we're just going to take

00:39:52.040 dare, Garcia.

00:39:52.840 We can't trust you guys.

00:39:54.040 I'm trying to think through strategic alternatives and you're telling me I can't use an air base.

00:39:58.740 This is like, uh, was it France?

00:40:01.180 This is France during the Qaddafi raid.

00:40:03.300 This was France blocking airspace where the FB 111s that left from England had to go around

00:40:08.320 Spain.

00:40:08.980 A lot of them ran out of fuel.

00:40:10.340 We lost a couple of pilots, a couple of planes, these great allies at the last second tell

00:40:14.760 you, well, you know, you're paying for all my defense, but upon further review for

00:40:18.420 politics and to make sure our elites, our country's elites, our woke elites are comfortable with

00:40:23.860 it.

00:40:24.160 We won't do it.

00:40:24.960 This is why folks, um, I said about the Rubio speech the other day, it's all kind of meaningless.

00:40:30.300 These aren't real allies.

00:40:31.240 Not just that have armies.

00:40:32.680 They're so controlled now by the Marxist and jihadist left that they can't act as allies.

00:40:39.520 So don't forget they're not allies.

00:40:40.940 They're not even real sovereign nations anymore, Cleo.

00:40:44.440 Yeah.

00:40:44.780 Well, well, the good news is that the UK has finally decided to start to deport people.

00:40:49.100 They're, uh, they've issued deportation orders to the four Chagosians who got to Chagos archipelago.

00:40:55.580 So, so British Chagosians on British territory are now ordered deported.

00:41:00.660 Um, but yes, there's a, uh, Oh, but hang on, but hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.

00:41:05.200 I know you're doing it tongue in cheek, but I want to make sure the audience understands

00:41:07.740 it they're actually deporting some of the good guys.

00:41:10.960 I mean, they won't deport any of the imams in London.

00:41:14.460 They won't support, deport, you know, the 20% of the populations as Marxist jihadists in London,

00:41:19.600 but you get some people down there trying to fight for their freedom and saying, Hey,

00:41:22.720 we kind of like the United States.

00:41:24.100 They get deported.

00:41:25.040 Right.

00:41:25.360 I just want to make sure we got this correct.

00:41:26.860 Right.

00:41:27.340 That's, that's absolutely right.

00:41:28.780 You've got four Chagosians, including one that was, uh, so Chagos. 0.88

00:41:32.680 So Diego Garcia is in an archipelago of islands called the Chagos archipelago.

00:41:38.180 And again, I'm concerned that the focus has really been on Diego Garcia and not all of

00:41:42.960 these other islands, which are forming a protective barrier around, uh, along with their, their territorial

00:41:49.000 waters, uh, around Chagos, uh, around Diego Garcia and four Chagosians, including one that

00:41:55.360 was forcibly expelled from the islands when he was 14 by the British have now gone back

00:42:00.840 home and those are the four people.

00:42:03.740 And, and they're very pro-American.

00:42:05.340 They want to name an Island after president Trump.

00:42:07.680 They say the base is there to protect them.

00:42:09.640 This is why they're getting deported.

00:42:10.880 They want to name an Island after Trump.

00:42:13.240 They actually are pro-American and they're getting deported, but the haters in London,

00:42:20.080 20% now Marxist and jihadist, and they're, and they scared the British government that they're 0.65

00:42:26.000 telling us, Hey, this huge air base that we kind of use jointly, you can't use it when

00:42:31.240 it comes to Iran.

00:42:32.100 They're not an ally, Cleo.

00:42:35.240 Uh, I think that we really need to look at this very carefully.

00:42:38.280 And again, remember that Keir Starmer started off as a human rights lawyer.

00:42:43.060 Uh, and with that whole kind of, um, conflagration around it of NGOs that are burning things down

00:42:50.560 in a whole different range of ways.

00:42:52.740 Um, this thing is a, it's a real mess and it would be somewhat ironic if the Iran planning 1.00

00:42:58.360 is what saved, uh, Diego Garcia for, for the United States.

00:43:02.140 But we're finally really seeing who you're dealing with when you're looking at the current

00:43:06.320 Starmer government in London.

00:43:08.300 God works in mysterious ways, Cleo.

00:43:12.000 As we know, President Trump, the providential nature of the Trump presidency.

00:43:15.700 Cleo, where do people get you, ma'am?

00:43:16.800 Uh, I'm on X, just my name, Cleo Pascal, C-L-E-O-P-A-S-K-A-L, and on Getter at Real

00:43:23.520 Cleo.

00:43:25.100 Because there's so many Cleo Pascals on Getter.

00:43:27.660 That's how you got to be real.

00:43:29.500 Thank you, ma'am.

00:45:17.680 The president's going to Georgia to campaign and to see some factories, do some economic

00:45:27.820 and business stuff, you know, about the turnaround of the economy.

00:45:31.660 We're going to go to Georgia now.

00:45:33.640 We're going to hopefully get these guys back at 5 o'clock and also have, we're going to

00:45:37.480 cover the rally, Real America's Voice cover the rally live.

00:45:40.640 So Jason Frazier, in your limited time, I want to thank you for hanging around.

00:45:44.580 Number one, should the Georgia Board of Elections take control of the Fulton County Board of

00:45:50.400 Elections right now, sir?

00:45:53.140 I think that's the only way to fix this problem.

00:45:56.000 I mean, I've been showing these issues for four or five years now, showing people double 1.00

00:46:01.020 registered, people living and being registered in multiple states.

00:46:05.240 People, one of my favorite ones is the parking lot where you go to serve jury duty.

00:46:10.820 There's somebody registered to vote there.

00:46:12.240 I mean, you can't make this stuff up.

00:46:13.880 Fulton County is not cleaning the voter rolls.

00:46:16.940 They're not, they, they admitted yesterday, they don't even have a data analyst to look

00:46:21.180 at the voter rolls.

00:46:22.520 Essentially, they just take what the secretary of state gives them and they, they kind of

00:46:26.800 work some of those.

00:46:28.120 Jason, don't they pay 10, don't they pay $10,000 a year to keep you off?

00:46:33.020 Aren't you kind of like already, or aren't you elected or kind of a commissioner somewhere,

00:46:37.080 but they pay $10,000 a year so that you can't be involved, sir?

00:46:40.540 Well, actually I was, yeah, I was nominated to be on the Fulton County board of elections

00:46:45.120 and, and we won, we fought that because they tried to block me and we won the lawsuit and

00:46:51.420 Fulton County was supposed to be paying $10,000 a day.

00:46:54.780 Every day they're keeping me blocked.

00:46:56.800 However, they appealed that case.

00:46:58.480 So now it's sitting in appeals court and we should get a decision sometime this month,

00:47:02.580 but either way, it's going to go to Georgia Supreme court before, before they'll let me on.

00:47:07.480 So yeah, we've, we've got to do something here.

00:47:10.580 I'm going to ask you, I can't do it now about the solution here and how the worm can have

00:47:14.980 your back and doing, but right now we just, where do you go for social media?

00:47:17.580 We'll track you down off the show and either get you back up tonight or tomorrow morning.

00:47:21.000 So where do people go, Jason?

00:47:22.880 Yeah, you can find me on X at Jason Frazier USA.

00:47:25.580 And I just try to post whatever I can involving Georgia elections to, to get more people involved.

00:47:31.200 I mean, I started just as a curious person.

00:47:33.700 We need more people getting involved to, uh, to help save this country.

00:47:37.480 You're a hero, sir.

00:47:39.000 And a Patriot.

00:47:39.500 Thank you, Harry, Harry, uh, you're warning today.

00:47:42.880 Let's get it up and I want to get it out and don't bury the lead here.

00:47:46.280 Tell me about your analysis.

00:47:47.380 You have a hundred data analysts, what you've seen in this data, uh, you believe rises to

00:47:52.740 the level of investigation of a criminal conduct, sir.

00:47:58.360 Absolutely.

00:47:59.120 When we, when we look at the data, we see lots and lots of noise, uh, things that get

00:48:04.640 obfuscated in the cloud of confusion.

00:48:06.820 But the fact of the matter is we find something extraordinarily disturbing in 2020 and it's

00:48:13.040 associated with the mail-in ballots, essentially the early, early voting.

00:48:17.920 Uh, the fact is they didn't follow the law at all.

00:48:22.440 And, and the other thing that people need to understand though, about it is it was correctable.

00:48:28.220 It was always correctable.

00:48:30.160 They did not scan them properly.

00:48:32.080 They didn't maintain the digital signatures that are required by law.

00:48:36.260 This is, these are not acts of omission.

00:48:38.080 These are acts of commission.

00:48:40.320 Your stuff is so, is so thorough that they did it on purpose.

00:48:44.080 I got a boat.

00:48:44.700 We're going to get you back up.

00:48:45.580 I want people to go to your site.

00:48:47.120 I want them to volunteer.

00:48:47.980 I want them to support you guys, but most importantly, right now, I want them to find

00:48:51.980 out more.

00:48:52.420 So where'd they go?

00:48:54.220 Unite the number for freedom.com unite for freedom.com.

00:48:58.940 You can find our stuff there and, uh, absolutely.

00:49:01.960 I'll come back tonight or tomorrow, whenever you want me to see.

00:49:05.340 Thank you, sir.

00:49:06.040 I appreciate you.

00:49:07.080 We'll have you back.

00:49:08.380 We'll forget Joe Hoff.

00:49:09.640 It was not for you and your courageous brother, both at joehoff.com and at the gateway

00:49:14.580 pundit.

00:49:15.440 We wouldn't be here.

00:49:16.620 Closing thoughts, sir.

00:49:18.600 Well, thanks, Steve.

00:49:19.800 And, uh, yeah, Harry and his group are doing a great job.

00:49:22.260 I couldn't agree more with, uh, Jason Frazier when he said, Hey, if you can't audit it, uh,

00:49:27.460 you can't certify it.

00:49:28.720 That's just, uh, everybody knows that it seems like common sense.

00:49:31.940 And yet that's exactly what happened across the board in multiple States in 2020.

00:49:36.200 And, you know, we've, we've documented it left and right.

00:49:39.820 We continue to get new information on this, like Harry released today.

00:49:43.380 And yeah, this, this stuff doesn't happen at this magnitude by mistake.

00:49:49.320 It was certainly an operation that was going on.

00:49:52.580 It continues.

00:49:53.540 Uh, the, you know, it's been a battle for the United States is what's going on.

00:49:57.760 We've got a possible world war going on in Iran. 0.81

00:50:00.600 Man, we've had one going on here for years and it's, it's, and it surrounds our elections.

00:50:06.240 And if we can't get back to free and fair elections that are auditable, uh, where we don't have

00:50:11.740 mischief and the left, the left is, the left is correct.

00:50:16.580 This is about 26.

00:50:17.620 We understand that they understand exactly what they're doing.

00:50:19.880 Michael Steele said today that we're gaming out.

00:50:21.700 So are we, this is definitely about 26.

00:50:24.020 You got to get to the railhead of how they stole it and what happened to the country and

00:50:27.980 who's accountable.

00:50:28.500 But this is a hundred percent about 26 because you've already seen what they're going to do.

00:50:33.120 The same mumbo jumbo after they steal 26, you're going to have them up there in the

00:50:37.540 same mumbo jumbo you heard yesterday.

00:50:39.720 Oh, we got it.

00:50:40.500 You know, it's all merging data sets.

00:50:42.280 Frazier turned her and called her a liar to her face. 0.90

00:50:45.960 And she goes, well, I was just retained on Monday.

00:50:48.380 It's just performative.

00:50:49.300 Joe Hoff, where do people go and get you?

00:50:51.700 Yeah.

00:50:52.060 Follow me at joehoff.com, real joehoff on Twitter, certainly at the gateway pundit to the gateway

00:50:57.280 pundit, uh, where we continue to just blast out the truth.

00:51:01.000 Uh, no matter what, you know, barriers they try to put in front of us, we're going to

00:51:04.200 keep doing it.

00:51:05.160 They try to put them in jail.

00:51:06.580 They try to bankrupt them.

00:51:07.620 They try to shut down the gateway pundit.

00:51:10.160 Mike Lindell, you, Georgia, but I want to talk about deals.

00:51:13.580 Okay.

00:51:13.860 The, uh, Charlie Kirk show with Andrew Colvett follows us.

00:51:17.220 Poso, Poso, I don't know, Poso all day is with the president.

00:51:20.420 He's inside the bubble at the board of peace.

00:51:22.200 He's inside the bubble going down to Georgia.

00:51:24.480 We'll try to figure out Poso.

00:51:25.540 So we're back at 5 p.m. Eastern standard time and we got war room, Texas right over there.

00:51:30.600 Both shows will be explosive.

00:51:32.300 Mike Lindell, this, uh, sale, I think took off like a rocket yesterday.

00:51:36.620 What do you got for us?

00:51:37.960 Yes, it did.

00:51:38.640 And this goes back to when I came, when we had all this evident, you know, Steve, five

00:51:42.780 years ago, and that's why it got canceled at all the box stores.

00:51:45.980 What we're finding my pillow is moving into a new factory.
