Steve Bannon
Prime Minister Orban of Hungary, who has my complete and total endorsement for election. Not everybody in Europe loves that endorsement, but that's okay. He does an unbelievable job. He's done an incredible job on immigration, unlike some countries that have hurt themselves. But they're working on it. But I just want to let you know, you have my total and complete endorsement. And I'm putting it out. I already did, but I'm putting it out again. And you're coming up with an election. And I think he should be good. I'll tell you, Milei did pretty well. He was a little down, right? And then he was. He ended up winning in a landslide. So that's pretty good. You're going to do great. Victor, thank you very much for being here. I appreciate it. You run a great country. Prime Minister Sharif, I like this man of Pakistan because there was some fighting going on when I got to know him. And your field marshal. General. Great, great general. Great field marshal. A great guy. And I got to meet the prime minister and he said in front of our chief of staff, Susie Wells, who's right here, he said, you know, nobody knows this, but I believe that President Trump saved 25 million lives when he stopped the war between US and India. Right. You made that statement. They said 25 million lives. Could have been much more, actually, but it was really a beautiful thing. You said that in front of a group of people that was. They walked out. They don't think about it, but you're talking about that kind of lives. But this meeting today is proof, with determined leadership, nothing is impossible. When I took office, the war in Gaza was raging with thousands of people being killed and no end in sight. Today, thanks to unrelenting diplomacy and the commitment of many of the great people in this room, we have 59 countries signed up on Gaza. Think of that. We have. It's amazing. But all the people, many, really so many in this room, the war in Gaza is over. It's over. There are little flames, little flames. Hamas has been. I think they're going to give up their weapons, which is what they promised. If they don't, it'll be, you know, they'll be harshly met. Very harshly met. They don't want that. We're going to be working with the United nations very closely. We're going to bring them back. I think the United nations has great potential, really great potential. It has not lived up to potential. The eight wars, I never even spoke to them about one of them. And I should be speaking to them about all of them someday. I won't be here. The United nations will be, I think is going to be much stronger. The Board of Peace is going to almost be looking over the United nations and making sure it runs properly. But we're going to strengthen up the United Nations. We're going to make sure its facilities are good. They need help and they need help money wise. We're going to help them money wise. And we're going to make sure the United nations is viable. And you have some very good people at the United nations can do a good job. But as I said, it's, I've said it for years, the United nations has tremendous potential. A lot of people didn't like what I said. They said, oh, you shouldn't say that because I, you know, we don't care about the United Nations. No, it's really very important and I think it's going to eventually live up to potential.

Stephen K. Bannon
That'll be a big day. This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA media. I wish in my soul, I wish

Jim Rickards
that any of these people had a conscience.

Stephen K. Bannon
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. It's Thursday the 19th of February in the year of our Lord 2026. Okay, we're going to keep, we're live streaming the Georgia election board. We've got Jason Frazier, we've got the Joe Hoft and we have Harry Hari. We're all going to go back to that in a moment on exactly what happened in Georgia, the implication of what it means for 2026. But I want to pivot now. President Trump broke tons of News Day. I told you right there. He's looking at this Board of Peace as a overall infrastructure guidance for an infrastructure kind of over oversight layered on top of the United Nations. This is like San Francisco in 1945. You're seeing the creation of a new institution. Has had President Trump says there to destroy institutions. I don't think so. He's there to, I think, rejuvenate institutions and get rid of the ones that are not working. The UN's clearly not working. The UN Security Council's not working. He's doing something different. I want to go to. And he said 10 days, he's about 10 days away from making a decision on, on the situation in Tehran. Brandon Reichert. So, Brandon, you were on here, I think three weeks ago and he said, hey, Steve, look, I understand, you know, you got Kurt Mills, you got all these guys talking about President Trump negotiating does he want to end of a nuclear deal. And he said today they got it. They got to totally abandon any nuclear weapons program or is just enrichment as ballistic missiles as a regime change. You say, hey, look, they can talk about anything they want. Steve Witkoff and Jared are doing good. His job of the is, but that's just, he's just buying time. He's tapping people along to get military assets in the region and then he's going to strike. Has anything happened over the last 48 hours to change your mind, sir?
- [06:00]
Brandon Reichert
Unfortunately, no. And you know, I'm hopeful. I was hoping that Kurt would be right. But right now it looks a lot like Trump is still leaning in the direction of military strife strikes. He has moved even more Air Force assets into the region. Then he's gone in and he's now positioning the USS Gerald R. Ford that's going to be on station. They're saying as early as this Sunday, the Abraham Lincoln is still in the Arabian Sea. Looks like it's been tucked again behind the, the mountains of Oman, which means it's in a strike position kind of. But it looks to me that they, the President is going to go in, or rather he's going to let Netanyahu, like he did last year, initiate a strike. Then we will come in and sort of mop up whatever the Israelis can't get. And in the meanwhile, you know, I would expect the price of oil to spike. I would expect this to have very significant consequences not only for our position in the region, because the Iranians are not just going to take it lying down. But, but I would expect this to have negative consequences for the President in the midterms because this will hurt.
- [07:07]
Stephen K. Bannon
Hang, hang, hang on, hang on. Let's hold it. Let's, let's not get ahead of ourselves. We'll get to all that in a minute. But the President just said right there, something else very powerful and by the way, we're streaming the Board of Peace and people want to dip into that. He said, hey, the border peace was set up initially for Gaza. He says, I've Got peace in Gaza and we're going to figure it out. Right. Tony Blair, I think, is there a day he's going to be named executive director. You've got Qatar, you got Turkey, you got everybody. If he's got peace and the Guardian has a. And if Elizabeth and Grace and Mo can make sure people see it in the chat, the Guardian's got a story where the United States is working with the international. What is it? Security group of Qatar, Turkey, you know, Egypt, UAE, they're building a 5000. They're going to build a 5000 man security. They're going to build a 5,000 troop and or other logistics personnel, intelligence personnel in Gaza. A base that's going to be the headquarters of the international Security Group. Not peacekeeping, but security group. President Trump said today, look, he says you're going to flare ups and you're going to have Hamas and kind of dismissing Netanyahu as well. They haven't, you know, they haven't laid down their weapons, so there's no deal. I mean, he completely smashed that. Given everything that's going his way in his mind in Gaza, why would he now turn when he's got people like Qatar and Saudi saying we're not ready to. Our gas fields are not ready, our oil fields are not ready to take particularly potentially stray ballistic missiles from Iran. Do you know they're going to shoot back and we could lose control of our gas fields. Think Qatar's telling people five to seven years. Why would he risk that given the fact he's pulled, let's be blunt, he's pulled a miracle out of the hat. Now, if you support a two state solution, which we don't, but it's a two state solution. He's pulled a miracle in Gaza. Why would he risk that by putting all the chips back in the middle of the table in Tehran?
- [09:09]
Brandon Reichert
Trump seems fixated on these protesters. And the reason I say that I think he made a decision to go in long ago is it goes back to that Truth Social post in the early January weeks when he said help is on the way. Uh, I think Trump is being moved emotionally by that. I think that Trump is being moved into this position by Netanyahu. Uh, I agree that the Gaza situation has gotten better. Uh, but I don't believe that's any longer the primary driver here geopolitically for, for why the, for why the two are, are getting into this situation, that Israel and the United States. I believe that the President has decided he's going to go in, he wanted to go in January 15th, as you note, he was called off by the Arabs and the Turks. He wanted to go in three weeks ago when I was last on the show, but the Navy said we're not ready yet. But now those factors are no longer as much of a concern. The Saudis have indicated that they are willing to participate in shooting down any stray missiles that might be fired by Iran in retaliation for strikes. The Israelis are indicating they are going to go in no matter what, which is going to drag us in. And the Navy and Air Force are saying, okay, we're basically ready to roll. And I think Trump wants to have Israel's back. And this is something I think is a mistake, but I do believe that he has made this decision irrespective of what's going on in Gaza.
- [10:40]
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, so the UK I think there's, there's a tweet out from one of the financial sites saying that the UK Saying that we can't help support this right now. Why do you give me. Before I get Jim Rickards on. Give me, give me a minute in your assessment because you've been the guy all along saying this is happening. Why do you think in happening that it's a mistake?
- [11:00]
Brandon Reichert
Because it's going to have negative, excuse me, negative impacts on the economy here during the midterms. I have no problem saying let's get rid of the regime in Iran. I just don't think right now is the time to do that. And I don't think the way we're talking about doing it is going to be good. We're not. It's not going to be a quick, easy thing. It's good. This is going to drag us in and we're never going to be able to break ourselves free. And people are going to be blaming Trump for this like they blame George W. Bush for Iraq. I think that we should be avoiding this, drawing down our forces in the Middle east and starting to focus, as you know, on Western hemispheric defense and space dominance. We do not need to be in the middle of this fight. Let the locals figure it out and they will. But if we keep intervening, we're going to keep distorting the geopolitics and it's going to give Israel all kinds of ideas that they can do more than they really can. And, and it's gonna cause us to get into a major regional war. We can't afford it right now.
- [11:49]
Stephen K. Bannon
Brandon, where do they go to get all your writings? I know you're focusing on a magnum opus about the hemispheric defense. Where do people go to get all your content?

Stephen K. Bannon
Thank you, brother.
- [12:11]
Jim Rickards
Thank you, sir.
- [12:13]
Stephen K. Bannon
Jim Rickards joins us. Jim, Captain Fennell can't be on this morning. He told me, though, that he thinks it'll take a week or two to get air certification between the, between the, the, the two carriers that are there. He thinks the strike will take place if strikes take place around 15th of March, maybe the 17th at the end of Ramadan. Your assessment overall, Jim, you're a major geopolitical thinker. We got two minutes on this side. We're going to hold you through what in the hell is going on.
- [12:41]
Jim Rickards
Yeah, I think that assessment is pretty good. I had circled March 10, but, you know, March 15, close enough. It won't be, you know, the New York Times is saying it could be in a matter of days. Well, that just means the, the Gerald Ford gets to Israel, gets, it's in the Mediterranean. They're not going around, you know, to the Arabian Sea. They'll go in the Mediterranean. They'll be off the coast of Israel. That could, that could be on station there in a couple days. But that doesn't mean you're ready to launch, you know, the next day. So I think early March, March 10, maybe a little bit sooner, is a likely date that gives the Iranians time to come back. They ended those negotiations a couple days ago. They said we'll be back in two weeks with a plan. I don't know if Trump's going to give them two weeks. That remains to be seen. But I wouldn't expect anything in a matter of days, but a couple of weeks. Yes, but when you talk about a strike in Iran, and it is more likely than not, the thing with the Iranian position, Steve, is such a, the Iranian position, it's not just uranium enrichment. They've kind of mastered that, although they've been set back with the, with the raid last year. But that's just part of it. You got to get the enriched, highly enriched uranium. Then you have to make a device to see if it works. Then you have to make a bomb, which is a completely different thing. And then if you want to put it on the missiles, get it miniaturized, and then you have to have the ballistic missile. So what Trump is saying, I think this is smart, is it's not just your enrichment capability. We want you to end your ballistic missile program. We want you to end these other research programs that could lead up to that for Israel. Of course, it's existential. You know, we have strategic depth and we have plenty of ways to strike back. With one nuclear strike in Tel Aviv, that's pretty much the end of Israel. So they don't really have any room to wait on this. The Iranians won't agree to that.

- [17:27]
Stephen K. Bannon
Think with the culture what they're arguing for. Let's just cut to it. They want the 25 million illegal alien invaders to stay full on. You thinking you can. You think you can negotiate with that? It's not negotiable. One side's going to win and one side's going to lose. One side's going to win and one side's going to lose. It's not negotiable. Want to go back to Jim Rickards. We're going to go back to Georgia. Just everybody keeps sorted. We got to get to this, understand this war. Rickards, give me. Let's pull back the camera for a second because this is what you're best at. The combination of geopolitics, finance, capital markets, economy, all that. What is the hurry on a nuclear ballistic missile? They're years away from having anything close. Come on, man. They're not even close. Ballistic missiles almost took out Tel Aviv in the first war. This is one of the reasons Trump stepped in with that expeditionary force to end the 12 day war. It's the biggest guy saying they don't want to do this now is Qatar and UAE and the Saudis. Well, maybe not uae, but Qatar and the Saudis saying we're not prepared with our oil fields right now to protect them against not intercontinental ballistic missiles, but the interim ballistic missiles that the Revolutionary Guard has. So what is the logic that's driving this now, particularly given everything in the United States, the world economy? You got, you've, you've still got Ukraine where you got 3 million dead. I mean, why? What is the drive of doing this besides the fact that Benjamin Netanyahu and the Imperial Israel Expansion Project wants to go do it?
- [19:04]
Jim Rickards
Well, that may be it. The thing is, Steve, if you take your view, you're probably right that the nuclear ballistic missile for Iran is some years away. I think that it's probably the case.
- [19:15]
Stephen K. Bannon
Don't. Hang on, hang on. Hold it, hang on. Stop. Full stop. I don't want to take it from Steve Bannon. I am no expert in this. I'm a Grand Dune. I was a lieutenant equivalent of like a Marine or army captain in the Navy on a junior guy on the ship and then the Pentagon.
- [19:28]
Jim Rickards
I want.
- [19:28]
Stephen K. Bannon
Do you agree with me? But I see the, the war cabinet Minutes, I see everything. And yes, this is a potential. And you know, they're enriching, but there's no real program. It's, it's years away. So not, not months away, sir.
- [19:41]
Jim Rickards
Well, they are years away from a nuclear warhead on a ballistic missile, you know, make it small enough, reliable enough, durable enough, et cetera, to fire at Israel. So that is correct. However, they don't have to go that far. There's something called a nuclear device. It would basically be a bomb, you know, like a truck bomb type of thing. You have to, you know, figure out a way to get it in there. But I don't think that's the driver. What's driving it is Iran's ballistic missile production. I'm not talking about nuclear missiles, just regular missiles. Is at a point it's so robust that it could overwhelm the Iron Dome. And that is a more. That is, that's probably the case. And Iran is making great technological advances in undersea autonomous undersea drones. Their, their drone factories are huge and their missile production is, is enormous. Hundreds of missiles a month. So the point is they could actually overwhelm Israel without using nuclear weapons. And that's what Israel is concerned about. And that is, that gets to be.
- [20:37]
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, we saw, we saw, we saw, we saw part of that. That's what we'll get dragged into this immediately. We saw part of that in the 12 Day War. I mean, Tel Aviv, it's never been fully disclosed how much Tel Aviv was getting hammered because David Sling and the Golden Dome, all these, they work, but they can't work against that kind of mass. Why is it though that the people that are putting the most restraint on this were the people years ago that want to take out Tehran. I'm talking about Qatar, the Turks, I think Saudi, they're all sitting there going, hey, I don't know if we're ready for this, sir.
- [21:07]
Jim Rickards
Well, I just talked about the Iranian ballistic missile capability and the drones, etc. They don't have to be ended. Israel exclusively. They could be the eastern region of Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Arabian oil fields, Qatar natural gas fields, those are all targets. Once you, if the US attacks, the US and Israel attacks, everything's on the table from the Iranian point of view. And I want to kind of make one point, Steve, about why I think this is more likely than not. The United States has 11 so called carrier strike groups, basically aircraft carriers with, you know, kind of larger monitors around them. But at any given time, seven of them, they're in maintenance repair crews, get a break, etc. We really only have four. Good to go. It's the, the Lincoln, the. For the George H.W. bush and Teddy Roosevelt. Trump's putting two of them in the arena. That's 50% of our ready nuclear or sorry carrier strike group capability. That's huge. That's not a bluff, that's not for show. You do that when you're getting ready to. The other point is what kind of attack will this be? They're not going to be boots on the ground. Iran is one of the largest countries in the world in terms of landmass population of over 70 million. This is one of the largest populations in the world. You know, it's mountainous, the desert, etc. You're not going to invade Iran in that sense. This is going to be a decapitation strike. This can come in two waves. Number one, you take out the air defense, you attack the factories, the factories making the drones, the autonomous undersea drones, etc. The they talked about attack those factories, take out the air defenses, take out the missiles. That's phase one. Then phase two is a decapitation strike. Kill the leadership. Are they going to capture the Supreme Leader Khamenei like we do with Maduro? Seems unlikely, but they may, they may try something like that, but basically get Iran past this theocratic leadership and then let the Iranian people decide. Kind of okay, hang.
- [22:59]
Stephen K. Bannon
Do you agree though that what Scott Bessant was doing with the currency, I mean you're the, you're the expert on currency wars. He brought them to their knees a month ago. This is why people are taking the streets. Do you believe there's an economic warfare alternative?
- [23:12]
Jim Rickards
It's probably accomplished. The answer is economic warfare is absolutely part of this. And I'll give the Obama administration was pretty good at economic warfare on Iran in the run up to the jcpoa, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The deal was awful, but getting the Iranians to the table through sanctions worked pretty well in 2010, 2011. We can do that again. But now you've got the Chinese, the Chinese need Iranian oil. What kind of embargo do you put on? But it's a two edged sword. Can we do it to them? Yes. But can they close the Straits of Hormuz Now a lot of people say, well the Iranians will send their navy in and we'll sink their ships or whatever. It's not that easy. They're going to use mines, they're going to use, they have their own autonomous submersible vehicles. But hang on if we having been,
- [23:59]
Stephen K. Bannon
you know, sailed the Straits of Hormuz back in 79 and 80, if they close the Straits of Hormuz, they, that's slit in their own throat. They never get another cargo. The Chinese, there's no real pipeline. You've gotta, you gotta ship it out in these kind of ghost fleets. I hear people say that, but isn't that the Ayatollah basically just taking Besson and Trump's economic warfare strategy, slitting their own throats? If you block it, no. Iranian oil gets to the Chinese Communist Party. Therefore 80% of your cash flow that you've got right now is, and I think President Trump's talking about anybody that trades oil with them, any saying you're blocked from the United States 100%. So if they did that, doesn't that exacerbate their economic problem, which has brought them to virtually their knees right now?
- [24:46]
Jim Rickards
Right, but that kind of proves my point, which is if we're going to use economic sanctions and oil embargoes to choke them off, then, then they don't lose anything. In other words, if we've, if we've economically closed the Straits of Hormuz by cutting off Iranian oil exports, then physically, kinetically closing the Straits doesn't cost them anything because they're already out of the oil market. But yeah, I agree with you. If you want to let the Iranian oil flow, then cutting off the Straits of Hormuz would, would hurt them. But if we do it anyway by, you know, seizing the vessels or, you know, tracking ghost fleets and we can do all of that.
- [25:17]
Stephen K. Bannon
Jim, we gotta hang out.
- [25:18]
Jim Rickards
They may feel like we don't have a lot to lose.
- [25:20]
Stephen K. Bannon
We, we got a couple minutes here in the break. I'll hold you. Oklio's with us. We got to go back to Georgia. Steve Stern's with us on a big announcement. What's happening today in the precinct strategy Rickards. We got about two minutes here. Jim. The part of the discussion of the three hour meeting when Bibi was over here, Bibi saying, look, if you guys can't get it together or you don't want to do it, I'm going in. And we're going to need some traditional help on air defense, right. Which is Egypt cruisers last time and people don't realize how much Tel Aviv was getting hammered. If Bibi decides to go it alone, is Israel try to go alone, what logistical and defense capacities from the United States will he need? Is there any way the Iranians will not interpret that as us being a Combatant, sir?
- [26:05]
Jim Rickards
No, it's very hard to see Israel going alone. Could they lead the attack, you know, fire the first shot, etc. Absolutely, they probably will. But without US air defense, the US ability to suppress, you have to suppress Iranian air defenses. And they've been supplemented since the last attack with Chinese help. And don't underestimate, I'm sure you don't, the extent of Chinese and Russian help. Now. They're not going to have boots on the ground either. But surveillance intelligence. Don't rule out electronic warfare, electronic cyber warfare. Russians, Chinese and Iranians are all pretty advanced in that. All of a sudden, systems in the United States start to go down. Don't rule that out. So this, this, this could escalate in a lot of different ways. But I agree that the Iranians would not really distinguish between an Israeli attack and the US and the US could help them without, you know, sending B2 bombers. But that would prove that would involve.
- [26:59]
Stephen K. Bannon
Jim in 30. And you're going to stick around. Hold it through the break. 30 seconds. How long is if the air. If the package and the, and the target set is regime change led by the United States air, how many weeks of bombing does that take in your assessment right now?
- [27:16]
Jim Rickards
Probably a couple weeks, but not necessarily longer than that. Look, you're either going to succeed or fail. That's the point. It's got a little binary. If you succeed, you should succeed fairly quickly, but it might be a few weeks for what we're talking about. But if you fail, then all bets are off. Then I think the Straits of Hormuz are in play. Saudi Arabia is in play. Other countries, it could escalate pretty rapidly. Probably, probably wouldn't.
- [27:39]
Stephen K. Bannon
Do we ever get peace in Ukraine? Now if this, if this strike goes on and metastasizes. 30 seconds. Did we get peace in Ukraine?
- [27:48]
Jim Rickards
No, because Zelensky won't, won't go for it. But you know, Steve, good point. We lost seven Patriot anti missile systems in Ukraine, about a billion dollars each, by the way. I think the US Wishes they had those back to protect US Assets in the Middle East.

Jim, hang on for one second. Records of the with us. Cleo's with us, the whole crew in Georgia's with us. Steve Stern's with us. We will figure it out when we get back. Natasha Owens, the counter to the Boss. If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this. So listen up. In today's artificial intelligence and cyber world, scammers are stealing home titles with more ease than ever. And Your equity, the equity in your home, your life savings is the target. Now here's how it works. Criminals forge your signature on one document, use a fake notary stamp, pay a small fee with your county and boom. Your home title has been transferred out of your name. Then they take out loans using your equity or even selling your property. You won't even know it's happened until you get a collection or foreclosure notice. So let me ask you, when was the last time you checked your home title? If you're like me, the answer is never. And that's exactly what scammers are counting on. That's why I trust home title lock. Before I met them, I never checked on this. Now I'm safe and now I'm secure. Use promo code steve@hometitlelock.com to make sure your title is still in your name. You'll also get a free title history report, plus a free 14 day trial of their 1 million dollar triple lock protection. That's 24,7 monitoring of your title. Urgent alerts to any changes, any fraud should happen, they'll spend up to $1 million to fix it.

Stephen K. Bannon
Go to hometitle lock.com now. Use promo code Steve. That's hometitle lock.com promo code Steve. Do it today, do it now. Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. Okay, Mabri. And Steve Stern. The precinct strategy, which was one of the underpinnings of President Trump's amazing come from behind victory in 2024, is under a massive assault throughout the country in Texas. We're actually going to do a special tomorrow on we're in Texas to talk show you people how the Republic, this is not the left, the Republic, the left is actually picking up the idea of precinct strategy. This is one of the reasons they're getting more powerful 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. We're going to have a special tomorrow about what's happening in Texas. You will be shocked. Steve Stern, under the great chairman emeritus, our brother Dan Schultz, you've launched this new site. A very important meeting this morning. I think you get almost all 50 states this afternoon at 2 o', clock walk through what's going to happen. The precinct chairs. You're bringing people together throughout the country to talk about a plan to go forward. Yep.
- [31:03]
Steve Bannon
This is every state is now in
- [31:05]
Stephen K. Bannon
and multiple people from the states, many new people. We're going to get 200,000 new committee men, committee, women. We're going to have monthly newsletters so everybody can see what's going on. Videos, posted training manuals. Everything's going to be gone there. Go to precinctprojectusa.org Email me esthern1054gmail.com if you're a committee chair or vice chair and want to come on today. 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. We'll report on it next week. Thank you for having me. Come on again. 2:00 clock today, we'll have 50 states, at least 200 people. Thank you very much for getting us on. 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. It's not open to the public today. You can go to the site, give the site one more time to sign up. We're going to have Stern back on tomorrow to give an assessment of where the thinking is. 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. They've tried to destroy a lot of people. But it's now in Texas. You can see where it's actually formalized. They've actually gone and raised money to come out and look like you're actually supporting the precinct strategy when you're actually trying to destroy the precinct chairs and the people that have signed up. So, Stern, where do people go today to get to your new site? And then you'll be back on tomorrow to report on this meeting you're having this afternoon. Precinctprojectusa.org we'll answer you. We have staff there waiting for anybody that has information or wants to get information today. Thanks again. We'll see you tomorrow. Thank you, brother Cleo Pascal, you were absolutely central on Diego Garcia, which President Trump now it's very evident it's a major strategic asset. I get to that maybe this afternoon you were the hero in this. But our great allies, the guys we're actually dealing with over there, the British, the United Kingdom government, what did they just make public? And there's an article out. What'd they make public about being such a great ally when President Trump's trying to think through his strategic alternatives?
- [33:13]
Cleo Pascal
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 the UK has, as the headline says, been blocking Trump from using Royal Air force bases for strikes on Iran, especially there's the key base RAF Fairford, which is where the US heavy bombers for all of Europe are stationed. There's quite a few of them there. And apparently they've been using legal arguments to say that strike on Iran would not necessarily be legal. And so they're not going to let the US use the bases. And this legal argument is something that they've brought up before with not supporting the strikes on the drug boats as well. 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 and if it's really five eyes quality partner.
- [34:07]
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, hang on a second. Clear. Stick right there. So, so Jim Rickards, what are we talking about? They're talking about a 20 year security guarantee in Ukraine and that the UK and France would be the frontline troops. And they put troops in there. You just, there's stiffening right there. I'm, I am against an airstrike into, into, into Tehran because 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 because he's got a thousand million times more information than we have. But an ally, and you're talking about an ally now, that's absolutely central. In Diego Garcia, they're saying we came and used the bomber bases. How can anybody take anything seriously about Ukraine and these people, Sir?
- [34:52]
Jim Rickards
Well, you can't. And particularly with regard to Ukraine, I mean, France, Germany, uk, they talk a good game. They made some financial guarantees. They don't have much of a military themselves. They could scarcely defend themselves. They couldn't muster three divisions against, you know, 20 Russian frontline divisions and 20 more waiting to come in behind them. It's really, Ukraine's all about the United States and Russia. And Russia's demands have not changed in four years from before the war until today. They haven't changed. Kyiv won't agree. Okay, the war is going to go on. The only thing that changes is how much territory do you lose. The longer you fight, the more you lose. It's as simple as that. So the UK is not going to do anything. The security guarantees, that's just Kiev, just Zelensky's way of trying to get US boots on the ground so he can start World War iii. And I don't think the US will ever do that. But so, so that's going nowhere except Russian victory. So, but, but the UK said their own military is badly depleted. I'm not sure why they're denying us any help with regard to Iran. Illegal legalistic arguments, you know, it's a great point, but they're kind of a joke. Who looks at a law book when you're starting a war? Maybe when it's over. But the only good news is Starmer has maybe a couple weeks left before he's out.
- [36:07]
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, well, hang on for a second. I want to go back to. You're known as a capital markets guy, financial guy. If President Trump goes forward, it does this strike, which could be a decapitation strike, what happens to the world economy? What's your best sense right now? Because President Trump, I think, believes from the 12 Day War in Venezuela, I think he feels he's going to come in strong. If he does come in, it'll come in strong, it'll be relatively quick and we'll get this thing. You know, he'll pass through this pretty quickly. What is your assessment of that and what do you think impact on global capital markets?
- [36:44]
Jim Rickards
Not that much. I think global capital markets are fairly robust. The idea of dumping U.S. treasuries is overstated. It's not really happening. You can't dump US Treasuries because there's nowhere else to go. I mean, what are you going to do, buy Italian bonds? Okay, there are a lot of them, but is that really a good substitute? So that's not going to happen. I guess the bad news, good news situation is that there's no shortage of oil. Even if you close the Straits of Hormuz, it would hurt China, it would not hurt the United States. We've got plenty of oil, plenty of natural gas. And even Europe has been able to get natural gas from the United States to make up from Russia. And Russia's still supplying the world. So it's not really an oil glut. It's more like a decline in demand. I mean, supply and demand together. Demand is collapsing for not good reasons, which has to do with the fact that the US Economy is slowing down and the European economy is in recession. So I don't think you'll see the super spike in oil prices that people predict. Even if the Iranians take steps to close the Straits of Hormuz, because there's plenty, there's plenty of oil bounds a little, a little more difficult for China. The treasury market will do fine. Same thing as a dollar shortage is propping up the treasury market. So I don't think it'll be a financial catastrophe. There might be other problems unrelated to Iran down the road, but I don't think the Iran war will be one of them.

Stephen K. Bannon
Rickards. Jim, where do people go to get strategic intelligence? Right now you're all over this. And give me a minute on what is predictive analytics? Why is that set your newsletter apart, particularly your predictions and your not predictions, but your kind of forecast of where things are headed? Why is predictive analytics so important?
- [38:16]
Jim Rickards
Yeah, thanks, Steve. We have a landing page. It's Rickards War Room.com Rickards War Room.com where you can go, you can subscribe to Strategic Intelligence. That's our flagship newsletter, you know, to be immodest, but we think we have the best predictive analytic models going. You know, in, in 2024, we said we were the only ones, the only ones who said Trump is going to get 312 electric votes, electoral votes. We stuck the landing 2016 against 92% odds. We said Trump was going to win. We were right. We said the UK was going to leave the EU when the polls are 75% remain, we got that right. So we have a long history of that. We're not smarter, but we have better models. We use Bayesian theory, we use complexity theory, we use a lot of input, subject matter, expertise, etc. So, so we, we pride ourselves on that. And what we tell readers is we're not going to tell you what just happened, we're going to tell you what happens next.

Jim Rickards
Thanks, Cleo.

Stephen K. Bannon
Closing Thoughts UK I think President Trump's next stop is to say, look, we're just going to take de Garcia. We can't trust you guys. I'm trying to think through strategic alternatives and you're telling me I can't use an air base. This is like, was it France? This is France during the Gaddafi raid. This was France blocking airspace where the FB111s that left from England had to go around Spain. A lot of them ran out of fuel. We lost a couple of pilots, couple of planes. These great allies at the last second tell you, well, you know, you're paying for my defense but upon further review for politics and to make sure our elites, our country's elites, our WOKE elites, are comfortable with it, we won't do it. This is why, folks, I said about the Rubio speech the other day, it's all kind of meaningless. These aren't real allies, not just that have armies. They're so controlled now by the Marxist and jihadist left that they can't act as allies. So don't forget, they're not allies. They're not even real sovereign nations anymore. Cleo.
- [40:45]
Cleo Pascal
Well, the good news is that the UK has finally decided to start to deport people. They've issued deportation orders to the four Chagossians who got to Chagos Archipelago. So British Chagossians on British territory are now ordered deported. But yes, there's a. Oh, but hang
- [41:03]
Stephen K. Bannon
on, but hang on, hang on, hang on. I know you're doing tongue in cheek, but I want to make sure the audience understands it. They're actually deporting some of the good guys. They won't deport any of the imams in London. They won't deport the 20% of the population as Marxist jihadists in London. But you get some people down there trying to fight for their freedom and saying, hey, we kind of like the United States, they get deported. Right. I just want to make sure we got this correct. Right?
- [41:28]
Cleo Pascal
That's absolutely right. You've got four Chagossians, including one that was so Chagos. So Diego Garcia is in an archipelago of islands called the Chagos Archipelago. And again, I'm concerned that the focus has really been on Diego Garcia and not all of these other islands which are, are forming a protective barrier around, along with their territorial waters around Chagos, around Diego Garcia. And four Chagossians, including one that was forcibly expelled from the islands when he was 14 by the British, have now gone back home. And those are the four people, and they're very pro American. They want to name an island after President Trump.
- [42:08]
Stephen K. Bannon
They say that this is why they're getting deported. They want to name an island after Trump. They actually are pro American and they're getting deported. But the haters in London, 20% now Marxist and jihadist. And it scared the British government that they're telling us, hey, this huge air base that we kind of use jointly, you can't use it when it comes to Iran. They're not an ally.
- [42:34]
Cleo Pascal
Cleo, I think that we really need to look at this very carefully. And again, remember that Keir Starmer started off as a human rights lawyer, and with that whole kind of conflagration around it of NGOs that are burning things down in a whole different range of ways. This thing is. It's a real mess. And it would be somewhat ironic if the Iran planning is what saved Diego Garcia for the United States. But we're finally really seeing who you're dealing with when you're looking at the current Starmer government in London.
- [43:08]

So, Jason Frazier, in your limited time, I want to thank you for hanging around. Number one, should the Georgia Board of Elections take control of Fulton County Board of Elections right now?
- [45:52]
Jim Rickards
Sir, I think that's the only way to fix this problem. I mean, I've been showing these issues for four or five years now, showing people double registered people living and being registered in multiple states. People. One of my favorite ones is the parking lot where you go to serve jury duty. There's somebody registered to vote there. I mean, you can't make this stuff up. Fulton county is not cleaning the voter rolls. They're not, they, they admitted yesterday they don't even have a data analyst to look at the voter rolls. Essentially, they just take what the secretary of state gives them and they, they kind of work. Some of those.
- [46:28]
Stephen K. Bannon
Jason, don't they pay 10, don't they pay $10,000 a year to keep you off? Aren't you kind of like already, aren't you elected or kind of a commissioner somewhere, but they pay $10,000 a year so that you can't be involved, sir well, actually, I was.
- [46:43]
Jim Rickards
Yeah, I was nominated to be on the Fulton County Board of Elections. And, and we won.
- [46:47]
Stephen K. Bannon
We fought that because they tried to
- [46:49]
Jim Rickards
block me and we won the lawsuit and Fulton county was supposed to be
- [46:53]
Stephen K. Bannon
paying $10,000 a day every day.
- [46:55]
Jim Rickards
They're keeping me blocked. However, they appealed that case. So now it's sitting in appeals court and we should get a decision sometime this month. But either way, it's going to go to Georgia Supreme Court before, before they'll let me on. So, yeah, we've got to do something here.
- [47:11]
Stephen K. Bannon
I'm going to ask you, I can't do it now about the solution here and how the war room can have your back and doing. But right now, just where do you go for social media? We'll track you down after the show and can either get you back up tonight or tomorrow morning. So where do people go? Jason?
- [47:23]
Jim Rickards
Yeah, you can find me on X at Jason Frazier, USA and I just try to post whatever I can involving Georgia elections to, to get more people involved. I mean, I started just as a curious person. We need more people getting involved to, to help save this country.
- [47:38]
Stephen K. Bannon
You're a hero, sir, and a patriot. Thank you. Harry. Hari, your warning today. Let's get it up. And I want to get it out and don't bury the lead here. Tell me about your analysis. You have 100 data analysts. What you've seen in this data you believe rises to the level of investigation of criminal conduct, sir? Absolutely. When we look at the data, we see lots and lots of noise, things that get obfuscated in the cloud of confusion. But the fact of the matter is we find something extraordinarily disturbing in 2020 and it's associated with the mail in ballots, essentially the early, early voting. The fact is they didn't follow the law at all. And, and the other thing that people need to understand though about it is it was correctable. It was always correctable. They did not scan them properly. They didn't maintain the digital signatures that are required by law. This is, these are not acts of omission. These are acts of commission. Your stuff is so, is so thorough that they did it on purpose. I got a boat. We're gonna get you back up. I want people go to your site. I want them to volunteer, I want them to support you guys. But most importantly right now, I want them to find out more so where they go. Unite the number four freedom.com uniteforfreedom.com you can find our stuff there and absolutely, I'll come back tonight or tomorrow, whenever you want, mate. Steve, thank you, sir. Appreciate you. We'll have you back. We'll forget Joe Hoff. It was not for you and your courageous brother, both@johoff.com and at the Gateway Pundit, we wouldn't be here. Closing thoughts, sir? Well, thanks, Steve. And yeah, Harry and his group are doing a great job. I couldn't agree more with Jason Frazier
- [49:25]
Jim Rickards
when he said, hey, if you can't audit it, you can't certify it. That's just, everybody knows that it seems like common sense and yet that's exactly what happened across the board in multiple states in 2020. And you know, we've, we've documented it left and right. We continue to get new information on this like Harry released today. And yeah, this, this stuff doesn't happen at this magnitude by mistake. It was certainly an operation that was going on. It continues the, you know, it's been a battle for the United States is what's going on. We've got a possible world war going on in Iran.
- [50:01]
Stephen K. Bannon
We've had one going on here for years.
- [50:03]
Jim Rickards
And it's, and it's, and it surrounds our elections.
- [50:06]
Stephen K. Bannon
And if we can't get back to
- [50:08]
Jim Rickards
free and fair elections that are auditable
- [50:11]
Stephen K. Bannon
where we don't have mischief and the leftist, the left is correct. This is about 26. We understand that they understand exactly what they're doing. Michael Steele said today that we're gaming out. So are we. This is definitely about 26. You got to get to the railhead of how they stole it and what happened to the country and who's accountable. But this is 100% about 26 because you've already seen what they're going to do. The same mumbo jumbo after they steal 26. You're going to have them up there in the same mumbo jumbo you heard yesterday. Oh, we got it. You know, it's all merging data sets. Frazier turned her and called her a liar to her face. And she goes, well, I was just retained on Monday. It's just performative Joe Hoff. Where do people go and get you? Yeah.

They tried to put them in jail. They tried to bankrupt them. They tried to shut down the Gateway Pundit. Mike Lindell, you Georgia, but I want to talk about deals. Okay. The Charlie Kirk show with Andrew Colvette follows us. POSO all day is with the president. He's inside the bubble at the board of peace. He's inside the bubble going down to Georgia. We'll try to figure out poso. We're back at 5pm Eastern Standard Time and we got War Room Texas right over there. Both shows will be explosive. Mike Lindell, this sale, I think took off like a rocket yesterday. What do you got for us?
