Episode 5153: Fighting To Keep Diego Garcia; Live Coverage Of Fulton County

Fulton County’s election board, dominated by Trump-aligned members, faces accusations of 10,000 duplicate voter registrations—including four IDs for two individuals with no absentee or Election Day records—while refusing to confirm dedicated data analysts. Registrar disputes claims but admits reliance on lost E-Net screenshots and unclear Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s role in migration issues, pushing for subpoenas amid heated fraud allegations tied to 2020. Meanwhile, Trump warns UK’s Kier Starmer against leasing Diego Garcia to Mauritius, calling it "fictitious," as U.S. military assets—including the Gerald R. Ford carrier and 78 advanced jets—position near potential Iran conflict zones, with experts warning mid-March strikes could sever critical Indo-Pacific air access. Gold surges to $5,000/oz amid geopolitical instability, while Chagossian resettlement demands near the base add diplomatic pressure. [Automatically generated summary]

Landmark Social Media Trial 00:05:28
brianna keilar
The landmark social media addiction trial now underway in Los Angeles could set a precedent for holding social media companies responsible for the safety of their users.
boris sanchez
For years, tech giants have successfully fended off legal action against their platforms, and the outcome of this case could potentially reshape the industry.
jacob ward
Well, Boris, Brianna, you know, this is a landmark trial in my world because, you know, up until now, you really have had this blanket immunity extended to social media platforms in the United States under what's called Section 230.
It's this immunity conferred upon them, considering them sort of neutral platforms that are not responsible for what we, you know, what crazy things we post on them.
But this is now a question of design choices.
This case hinges on the idea that these companies may have made choices in how they build their systems, such that they may have, according to the plaintiffs, encouraged terrible choices in the kids that wound up on them.
And so what this comes down to and why everyone is calling this the big tobacco moment is how much did these companies know ahead of time and what choices did they make anyway?
And as we've seen in Discovery already, the documents coming out of these companies show that they were very much aware that there were lots and lots of risks to kids and may have chosen to go forward anyway here.
unidentified
So Vaughan, what are you doing in Winder, Georgia?
vaughn hillyard
This is part of, I think, the crux of when you're having the conversation of how all this could impact future elections.
And that is because the state election board, which is currently meeting, this is their monthly meeting, but it's the first one since the search and seizure of those 2020 ballots and machinery.
And there is a question of whether any of those three of the five members who are closely aligned with Donald Trump, they have denied the outcome of the 2020 elections in the past and have called into question the veracity of elections here in the state of Georgia.
And whether one of them here as soon as any minute, any hour from now, introduces a potential motion to try to have the state take control of the administration of Fulton County's elections, largely on the back of the claims of irregularities that have been put forward in this affidavit and that they have really been, these three former activists, were on the front lines of really promoting here.
And so while this meeting is ongoing here, there are the stakes and the ramifications of what this could mean for November's election, because if they were in fact to take away the administration responsibilities from Fulton County under Georgia state law, it would be those members.
It just takes a majority of those five.
It would be them to determine who effectively would be tapped to be the designated head of the Fulton County's elections.
brianna keilar
Where Kaylee's attorney says the plaintiff began using Instagram at age nine.
So she uses it really young, right?
And the app technically requires users to be 13 to sign up.
And Zuckerberg said that younger children are, quote, not allowed on Instagram.
Tell us about what stood out to you in this back and forth.
jacob ward
Well, it's a tough one, right?
This is the first back and forth that we've heard from inside the courtroom.
And what we have here is Zuckerberg saying we have these protections in place and we have underage rules here and it's clearly spelled out.
To which the plaintiff's lawyer said, are you expecting a nine-year-old to read the fine print?
Is that truly your claim under oath here that kids under 13 are not allowed on your platform?
So some pretty tough stuff.
You know, the optics here for a jury are really the thing, right?
We are not just talking about public opinion.
We're talking about the opinion of a jury.
And I'll just say, you know, it could really go either way here.
I will say, the Facebook team didn't do themselves any favors by showing up this morning wearing the meta Ray-Ban glasses that have cameras built into them.
I don't know if they thought this was going to be a product placement idea or what, but they walked into the courtroom with these things and the judge, Judge Kuhl, had to say, this is a closed proceeding.
You can't record this.
And so anyone who has recorded this on your face glasses must delete it or you'll be held in contempt.
The jury presumably heard that and that can't have set up something nicer.
So this is a very, very fraught moment for Meta.
It could change the rules on social media forever.
And it really comes down to the opinion of these everyday people, not senators, not you and me, but these everyday people in the jury.
We've never seen that before, you guys.
greg bluestein
Fulton County is Georgia's most populous county.
It's on also one of the most bluest Democratic bastions in Georgia.
And so, you know, if the state election board took control of local elections, there could be changes to early voting standards.
There could be changes to how many early voting sites there are.
They could limit efforts like mobile registration buses and other things we've seen in the past that seek to expand the electorate.
There could be other decisions that could have vast ramifications.
So Democrats are not taking this lightly.
And they're saying that if the Fulton County Board of Elections is taken over by the state election board, then it would be sort of the herald, the end of local elections in Georgia, and that more local election boards could also be taken over by the state.
katy tur
So what exactly is going on?
And if this administration is willing to take this conspiracy far enough to throw the next election into doubt, who's going to stand up to the president to stop it?
unidentified
Come on in.
forlesia cook
First of all, can I?
steve bannon
Yes, you can.
unidentified
Thank you, God.
That's so nice.
I like her.
Please.
Marching for Murder 00:04:18
forlesia cook
I like him too.
One thing I like about him, he keeps it real just like grandma.
I appreciate that because I can trust him because he tells exactly how he feel and what he thinks.
Thank God for this president.
I am filled.
My cup runneth over because he allowed his constituents, his people to come to my house to interview me to talk about the murder of my grandson.
It seemed like nobody cared.
I'm an advocate for murder.
I marched.
I rallied.
I pulled out other families in the District of Columbia that had murders and did not have answers.
We marched to re-rally, and nobody heard me, Democrats.
Get mad at me.
Until this Republican sent his constituents, his people out there to interview me in my home.
Have you ever heard of a thing?
Then they invited me twice before Congress to testify for the beautiful bill that's going to change crime in the district.
If you kill somebody, okay, you take a life, you do life.
unidentified
Just that simple.
forlesia cook
If you do a hush crime, you do hush time.
Just that simple.
And then we need National Guard and which we did years ago.
He brought it on.
I love him.
I don't want to hear nothing you got to say about that racist stuff.
And don't be looking at me on the news, hating on me because I'm standing up for somebody that deserves to be stand up for.
Get off the man's back.
Let him do his job.
He's doing the right thing.
Back up off of it.
I'll say that.
alex jones
The primal scream of a dying regime.
steve bannon
Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people.
Here's not got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people.
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you're trying to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
unidentified
MAGA media.
jake tapper
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
steve 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.
unidentified
Waru, here's your host, Stephen K. Bass.
steve bannon
Okay, it's Wednesday, 18 February, year of our Lord 2026.
It is the second day of early voting here in Texas.
We're absolutely jammed for the next two hours.
We're going to go live to Fulton County where the Georgia Election Board is.
They're having a discussion to take over Fulton County's elections.
And so you've seen from Vault and Hilliard and MSNBC, NBC News, CNN, they're in total and full meltdown.
We told you this day was coming.
And so we're going to go there momentarily to the elections board.
Right there, I think that's the only endorsement.
I believe that's the only endorsement that President Trump will need.
Felicia Cook, her grandson, Marty, was shot seven times and murdered in cold blood back in, I think it was in April 25, where President Trump has really taken, brought the National Guard in, cleaned up Washington, D.C., and got reinstalled order, good order and discipline, law and order, which the rest of the country needs.
And of course, she's showing her, like she said, nobody ever listened to her.
No Democrat ever listened to her until President Trump.
Very powerful from the heart.
And you could tell at the end, if you saw the, if you're not listening to the podcast or on radio, if you saw the, if you actually saw the footage itself, you could tell President Trump was quite touched by that.
Building Forces in the Pacific 00:15:34
steve bannon
You could tell.
We've got a lot to get to before we get to before we get to back to Georgia.
Tomorrow, we're going to have to do it tomorrow.
But this trial, as you know, we've had some of the, I think the plaintiffs have been on the show over the last couple of months, this meta trial with Zuckerberg.
You saw the arrogance of the, I mean, these guys don't leave, they come in with the glasses, they can record, and it's like they're tech, you know, oligarchs.
It's just offensive to people.
These people don't have zero discernment.
I want to go.
So the huge news.
First off, Captain Finnell, any update on the military situation?
We continue to hear in the reports.
They're continuing to pour assets into the region.
I believe is the Gerald R. R. Ford off North Africa yet?
Is that in the Mediterranean yet, sir?
jim fanell
Yeah, there's reporting now, Steve, that Ford has basically made the transatlantic crossing and is off the western coast of Africa.
Don't believe she's gone through the Strait of Gibraltar yet, but she's clearly made a good speed of advance.
She's a nuclear aircraft carrier, so she can do 35 knots when called upon.
They may have other ships in the strike group that'll have to play catch-up, but she's up into the entrance to the Mediterranean.
Additionally, in the last 48 hours, there's reporting today that said another tranche of aircraft have arrived into the region, 48 F-16s, 12 F-22s, and 18 F-35s to join the over a couple of hundred aircraft that are arrayed from Lake and Heath in the UK,
in Jordan, in Saudi Arabia, in Gutter, in the ISR aircraft, RC-135 rivet joints, six E-3 AWACS aircraft, over 40 tankers, to combine that with all the other naval assets that we talked about yesterday.
So the array of forces continues to build.
That's the bottom line.
steve bannon
That would be considered an air bridge.
And so they're getting both the naval assets and the air assets together.
Is Cleo with us?
After your briefing yesterday was like an NSC briefing.
I really want to thank you for sharing that with the audience.
It was fantastic and people loved it.
I want to read something from the commander-in-chief.
He just put out a while ago.
If Cleo and Jim or Cleo's around to join us, this is quoting President Trump: I have been telling Prime Minister Kier Starmer of the United Kingdom the leases are no good when it comes to countries, and that is making a big mistake by entering a 100-year lease with whoever it is that is claiming right, title, and interest to Diego Garcia, strategically located in the Indian Ocean.
Our relationship with the United Kingdom is a strong and powerful one.
It has been for many years.
But Prime Minister Starmer is losing control of this important island by claims of entities never known of before.
In our opinion, they are fictitious in nature.
Should Iran decide not to make a deal, it would be necessary for the United States to use Diego Garcia and the airfield located in Fairford in order to eradicate a potential attack by a highly unstable and dangerous regime, an attack that would potentially be made on the United Kingdom as well as other friendly countries.
Prime Minister Starmer should not lose control for any reason of Diego Garcia by entering a tenuous, at best, 100-year lease.
This land should not be taken away from the United Kingdom.
And if it is allowed to be, it will be a blight on our great ally.
We will always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the United Kingdom.
But they have no, they have to remain strong in the face of wokeism and other problems put before them.
Finished in all caps.
Do not give away Diego Garcia.
End quote.
Cleo Pascal, we got about a minute, ma'am.
I think you've preached that gospel for six, seven, eight months, oftentimes from regions in the Western and South Pacific.
Ma'am, how do you feel today?
cleo paskal
It's a pretty good day, especially because yesterday, State Department put a press release saying the opposite, that the United States would support the decision of the UK to proceed with an agreement with Mauritius on Chagos.
So it is a nuking of anybody who's been trying to accommodate this deal.
I think somebody at the Department of War finally managed to get a proper briefing in with the president.
He looked at some maps and he realized what was going on.
It is a very, very good day.
steve bannon
All the president needed to see was a clip of Cleo Pascal walking through exactly the strategic importance.
And I'm sure it came up in his briefing of naval assets in the North Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean and the strategic importance of Diego Garcia.
The president just laid it out right there.
This makes no sense.
Who are these guys that are saying they got the lease?
And you're not going to do it, basically.
Short commercial break.
We're going to turn in the warm moment, talk about this.
Then we're going to go to Georgia.
Stick around.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Van.
steve bannon
Okay, Birch Gold.
When I say geopolitical risk, we mean war, right?
And it looks like if President Trump doesn't get the negotiation and the deal he wants and he thinks is best, let's say this: they're pouring in assets in a wave they haven't poured in since the Gulf War.
Troops aside, I'm talking about air bridge now as Captain Finnell just walked through massive naval assets.
And Captain Finnell gave us a great, great brief last night.
So go check out Birch Gold, Birchgold.com, promo code war, promo code Bannon.
End of the dollar empire.
Philip Patrick is going to join me in the five o'clock hour tomorrow.
We're going to walk through all types of new potential stresses on the U.S. dollar as the prime reserve currency.
You're going to want to hear this.
That's why we started this thing four or five years ago when we go with a thousand bucks to say, hey, here's some logic of the dollar as the central element to the global financial system and the pressure it's going to come under the next couple of years.
Because guess what?
The election was just stolen.
You have an illegitimate regime in Washington and they're going to spend like crazy.
And we didn't even realize they're going to bring in 25 million illegal alien invaders, but that's where we are, folks.
That's why gold's at 5,000 bucks.
And now we're on the winds of war are howling in the North Arabian Sea across ancient Persia, the Straits of Hermuz, the Persian Gulf, up to Israel, the Eastern Mediterranean.
We had Matt Boyle from Athens.
I talked to Matt afterwards.
What do you say?
The number one topic in Athens today, the foundational home of democracy, is this war that appears to be coming, the clouds of war coming to Tehran.
Captain Finnell, by the way, so Birch Gold, go check it out.
End of the dollar empire.
Understand why gold's been a hedge against times of financial and geopolitical turbulence.
Captain Finnell, from your brief last night on naval assets and the one, a little mini brief today on the airbridge.
Why is Diego Garcia?
The president of the United States could not come out.
I mean, he'd literally walk through the strategic importance of Diego Garcia.
Clearly, he's been briefed on the logistical problems you know as a naval officer of force projection halfway around the world in a place that looks like the moon.
Why is Diego Garcia this tiny atoll?
Why do we give a damn about it?
Why is this so important?
And why would the president, when he's clearly getting these national security briefings, why would he put this out to tell the prime minister of the UK, yo, stop, stop, stop, stop, sir.
jim fanell
Well, Steve, it is our only real air assured air pod air point of departure in the Indian Ocean that connects the Indo-Pacific Command, the Pacific of that Indo-Pacific Command to the Indian Ocean and the Middle East.
So Diego Garcia is about 22 miles.
It's an ATOL.
It's got a 12,000-foot runway.
It's quite large, can take any of the aircraft in the U.S. inventory from the Air Force or the Navy.
And it provides us, and right there, right now, we have transport aircraft like C-17s.
We have tanker aircraft like KC-135s.
There's probably P-8 Poseidons there, surveillance aircraft.
There's a couple of destroyers that may still be there.
And it provides us a base to be able to project air power the other 2,000 miles from Diego into the Middle East and into the area, the area of operations for Iran.
That's 2,000 miles to the west of Singapore.
So it's really critical if we want to get anything from our Pacific theater, from the west coast of the United States, or even any forces that we have already for deployed out into the Western Pacific to get those out into theater.
That is a really critical point.
And it was so critical that in 1970, the Nixon administration did a study on it with Henry Kissinger and John Lehman.
And by 72, they were CBs were there building the facility up.
And we've been there for 54 years.
It's ours.
We control it for the most part.
We pay the Brits, I think, a nominal fee of $1 a month or a year for a lease.
But we maintain it.
We own it.
We operate it.
And it's absolutely vitally critical for us.
And after we've lost Bagram, to lose Diego Garcia would essentially cut us out of the entire Central Asian area of operations in terms of air points of departure.
Would be just stuck with what we have in the Persian Gulf or what we have in the Far East.
And that's a refueling station.
4,000 miles without anything.
steve bannon
It's basically a runway and a pier whenever refueling.
It's not much.
Cleo Pascal, why were you so admitted about this?
And why do you believe the President of the United States has made a smart decision?
cleo paskal
For all the reasons that Captain Finnell just mentioned, and also I have some very deep concerns about what's going on in the UK right now.
You saw them set up the, I testified about this in front of the House of Lords, and people were talking about Mauritius falling into the Chinese sphere of influence.
And my concern was actually about the UK falling into the Chinese sphere of influence.
When you took who was involved in this deal, including their current national security advisor, a guy called Jonathan Powell, who was involved in the handover of Hong Kong to the Chinese and who publicly said, oh, these are little islands.
They're unimportant.
Nobody actually goes there.
It started to feel very, very odd.
Like this wasn't just a bad policy decision.
This was selling out of, knowing selling out of U.S. security interests with possible corruption overtones.
The general counsel for the Mauritian side is an old friend of Prime Minister Kier Starmer.
So they were essentially kind of negotiating with themselves.
The way that this was being pushed through looked very odd.
Ambassador Mandelson, who had been sent to be the UK ambassador to the U.S., was deeply involved in it as well.
He's now had to resign.
So it just felt like they were going through a procedure that was nearly deliberately designed to hobble the U.S.
And it raises other questions, obviously, about the five Eyes and about the relationship with U.S. allies.
So I don't think it's a mistake that President Trump in his tweet ties this to the perception of the UK as an ally and whether or not they're a reliable ally.
And also, just I would flag up that this tweet yesterday from the State Department says that state is about to send a delegation on February, I think, 24th and 23rd to 25th to Mauritius to negotiate.
I very much hope that's canceled because Diego Garcia is one island in a large archipelago called the Chagos Archipelago.
And I'm worried that they're going to try to pull a fast one where they say, okay, Diego Garcia can stay British, but the rest will give to Mauritius.
And then the Chinese can set up all around Diego Garcia with, you know, so-called tourism or fisheries or things like that and start to compromise the operation of the base that way.
So it has to be the whole Chagos Archipelago.
It should stay British.
Four brave Chagossians just showed up on one of the other islands and said they want the U.S. base there.
Please let us resettle our ancestral homeland.
We love the U.S. We'll name an island after President Trump.
And I think that's the viable way forward.
steve bannon
I love it.
And you're ahead of this.
Yes, you can't let the chain go and just keep Diego Garcia, but one by the apple of the time, President Trump, I think, realizes in the movement of all these assets, the strategic importance of Diego Garcia, as about nine months ago, Cleo Pascal came on here and warned us about.
Cleo, where do people go to follow you, ma'am?
cleo paskal
Thank you.
I'm on X, just my name, Cleo Pascal, C-L-E-O-P-A-S, K-A-L.
And this is changing very fast.
We had the Chagossians land two days ago.
We had the State Department issue a statement yesterday and President Trump just saying exactly what needed to be said today.
So hopefully that's where this story will end, but keep following to make sure that we're on the right track going forward.
And thanks again to the war room and to the posse for being behind this all the way since before many others even realized it was an issue.
steve bannon
Thank you, ma'am.
Appreciate you.
cleo paskal
Thank you, sir.
steve bannon
Captain Finnell, where can people go?
You put anything up on American greatness.
We'll have you back on here as this.
Clearly, the winds of war are blowing.
They're not howling yet.
There's still negotiation.
We're going to have Brandon Weickert on tomorrow.
Brandon, as you remember, came on here and said, hey, it's all a ruse.
They're never going to get to a deal.
Trump just needs time to load in assets.
I know you're in that school of thought.
Also, where do people go to get your writings, Captain Finnell?
And thank you so much for the briefings.
jim fanell
Yeah, I sometimes write for American Greatness.
And I would just say that we're going to wait a couple of weeks, in my estimation, for the Ford to get in and get set up to get that airwing certified and recertified and to get the lay of the land with the Lincoln.
So I would expect something more along the lines of the end of Ramadan around that timeframe is my estimate, if it's going to happen.
steve bannon
So around mid-March, you would say?
unidentified
Yeah.
Okay.
steve bannon
Captain Finnell, thank you very much.
Look forward to having you back on here.
jim fanell
Thank you.
steve bannon
We're going to go live to Georgia right now.
Just some logistics.
Ben Harnwell and Dr. Thayer are in Australia at a big conference.
We had there on today.
We're going to try to get Ben on tomorrow.
Also, we're going to live stream to their panels and their speeches.
Very honored that they're there.
We're doing War Room Texas every day now since we're in Texas.
And what we got 12, 14 days to the primary, three March primary.
We are going to do a complete breakdown tonight of the Attorney General's debate last night.
It was absolutely pretty incredible.
And Chris Kobek, a friend of the show, Attorney General of the Great State of Kansas, was part of us.
So we'll break the whole thing down.
You'll see that that'll start immediately following the war room in Warroom, Texas at six o'clock.
Voter Records Discrepancies 00:14:58
steve bannon
Now I want to go.
Let's go to Georgia, the selection board.
As the Georgia election, we're going to take over Fulton County.
My vote is I.
So let's go ahead and see what happens.
unidentified
All right.
steve bannon
So the portion of this was continued based on Fulton County affiliated to provide documents to investigators.
Fulton County have a response for that?
unidentified
Yes.
And if you'll recall, I was here in December for Walker County, and this is the same issue.
We could not provide records because they don't exist.
These double votes did not happen.
There is an issue, and since that the last meeting, Fulton County has spoken to the Secretary of State's office.
There was an issue when they transferred from E-Net to Jarvis with a duplicate record where one of the records was canceled.
The voting history has sort of transferred to both the canceled and the active registration in Jarvis.
The Secretary of State told staff how they could, outside of Jarvis, locate that.
You would have gotten that in your packet of materials where we can look up each of the individuals' voter history on the My Voter page.
And you can see that only one of the registrations has credit for voting, and then the canceled registration does not have credit for voting for that election.
But something has happened with Jarvis, where it is showing that these are double voters.
But the reason why we could not produce any records of the second vote is because it didn't happen.
And this was not, they didn't show up as double votes when the system was still in ENET.
This issue started showing up when it transferred to Jarvis.
So there's, and I can't speak to the technical what's happened in the transfer from E-Net to Jarvis.
But my understanding is when staff talked to the Secretary of State's office and when I was here with Walker County, when we had spoken to the investigator, like they had verified that that was an issue.
The county doesn't have access to E-Net anymore, but now that we know that we can look it up in my voter page, and you should have all of the voters that were still remaining on the investigators report, you can see that only one of their voter registrations is credit, canceled registration does not have voter history.
janice johnston
The complainant is Mr. Frazier.
All right, could you share with the board your method or your data of how you found what you searched or reviewed and how you came up with the possibility of a double registration and a double vote?
jason frazier
Sure.
So, these were from back in 2022.
I went through the Fulton County voter rolls and I found approximately 10,000 people that were registered more than one time just within Fulton County.
So, I turned that list in to the county.
And when I did that, I simply looked on that voter roll, which was dated before these people were merged, before Jarvis existed.
And on that voter roll, and I still have that voter roll here, it showed a date last voted of 11-3, 2020 on all four IDs.
So, two people, four IDs.
And again, the voter roll shows a date last voted.
So, I don't know how this, how there could have been a mix up with Jarvis and with merging if this all happened before Jarvis and before the county even knew they were double registered.
So, I see different data, but I went on further to prepare for this.
And I went on there and I looked at the voter history file before the Jarvis transition, and that also showed credit for all four IDs showing the November 2020 election, a vote on that.
So, again, that's what the data shows before the merge, before anybody knew they were double registered, and before Jarvis.
So, again, I think that answer, even though that sounds nice and we've got everything fixed, that's just not really the case.
But then I went a little bit deeper and I looked at the absentee voter file.
And for some of the folks that aren't into the weeds as much, that's the file that's created every night during early voting that shows everyone that has requested an absentee ballot, returned an absentee ballot, and had an absentee ballot counted.
I went in that file, and only one of those four IDs showed that they even requested an absentee ballot.
So, that's another disconnect in the data.
And also, I looked at the numbered list of voters, and that's the list that we try to get every election, but the Secretary of State now refuses to give us because they say timestamps compromise ballot security.
It's against the law.
Well, they have that information, so I think they're admitting they're breaking the law.
But at any rate, the numbered list of voters for Election Day 2020 in Fulton County does not have any one of those four IDs.
So, what I'm saying is the voter roll pre-merge, the voter history files pre-merged, both show four votes each, but the absentee voter file doesn't show that that person even requested the absentee ballot returned it.
So, that says no votes there and no votes for the election day voting.
So, again, it just goes on to show how bad the data is in Georgia that you can't really audit an election if voter history files, voter rolls, nothing matches, which makes it very difficult to say.
I mean, I can't say with any certainty that these people voted at all.
But what I can say is the data shows votes and the data shows no votes.
So really what we need is a clean system where everybody knows who voted, how they voted, and anybody can do an audit of the election.
So that's the biggest problem here.
And the other problem is the fact that I, as a citizen, found 10,000 people registered more than once in Fulton County when the ERIC system claims that they find duplicates and merge them.
Secretary of State claims they find duplicates and merge those.
And the county, according to Georgia law, is supposed to from time to time maintain the voter rolls.
They failed also.
So I think I'm in the wrong position as a citizen to do Eric's job, Secretary of State's job, and Fulton County's job, and then identify or do my best to identify fraud in this state.
Everybody's failing, and a citizen should not be doing this job.
salleigh grubbs
Can I ask a question?
unidentified
Can I ask a question?
salleigh grubbs
As far as Fulton County goes, do y'all have data analysts that proactively look at things like this, like what Mr. Frazier does?
unidentified
We have a policy.
I mean, we have there is a general voter maintenance, voter list maintenance policy that we go through.
That was also provided in your packet.
Now, I don't know what he's looking at.
I haven't, when we get this, all we get is the summary report from the Secretary of State's investigator.
I don't have everything that you have.
The only thing that is listed in this complaint is that we failed to produce records of the double vote.
I'm saying we can't produce records that don't exist.
salleigh grubbs
Right.
unidentified
Right.
So if you will look in the packet that you were emailed yesterday, and then I think you got a hard copy today, it reviews just the monthly voter file audit that occurs.
And part of that is looking for duplicate records.
Part of it's looking for invalid addresses, commercial address records, unmatched precinct assignments.
The registrar works with the GIS team and everything on a monthly basis to try and solve those.
Now, the department has more information than citizens have as well.
For example, you may have what looks like a duplicate, same address, same name, but the voter registration list doesn't show like one's a junior and one's a senior, but they can see that.
They can see the birth dates.
So sometimes there are items that flag.
And then when you look at them, they don't believe it is a duplicate.
salleigh grubbs
But you can look at this policy and try to with that amount of information that we just got yesterday, even though this case was continued and we didn't have that information previously.
I haven't had a chance to comprehensively go through it.
But my question is, do you have data analysts, dedicated people in Fulton County Board of Elections and Registration that actively look for issues like this?
unidentified
It's part of the just regular voter list maintenance.
I mean, it's as a department.
I'm not doing it.
This is the third month in a row.
I mean, it's paying a cleaning every month.
It's always a process.
I mean, the voter list changes all the time.
It is always an ongoing process.
People ask me that when you look for duplicates.
steve bannon
It is something that staff, the court reporter has a really hard time getting everybody down when we all speak at the same time.
mike lindell
So if we would just speak one at a time so that Madam Cork will report over there to make sure she gets everybody's comments.
unidentified
I understood.
salleigh grubbs
Excuse me, just a moment.
All I said was, do you have dedicated data analysts to stay on top of this?
I understand you have routine procedures as far as registration goes, but I'm saying, does Fulton County Board of Elections and Registration have any data analyst, as it is a moving target, as you said, with voter registration that go through and do in general like what Mr. Frazier has done?
And that would be a yes or a no answer.
unidentified
I cannot answer that question.
I was retained Monday, so I haven't had these kind of detailed descriptions.
But also, I don't know what he is doing.
I don't know what databases he's using because we don't receive that from the Secretary of State's data.
salleigh grubbs
He is using publicly available data.
So you don't have to be anybody special.
unidentified
And he's doing.
And there are, I'm sorry, there are lots of items that we use.
We get the Eric Gay, we get information from the Secretary of State.
We get obituary records.
We get felon records.
There's all kinds of items that are used, as well as this process that we've laid out in the policy, which is apparently not working.
Respectfully, that is not part of this case if the board, if the state election board wants to open up a separate case, but this case matter was about double voting.
And I can tell you that double voting did not occur.
You could say it did not occur, even though it's showing.
There are okay, Fulton County was not named as a respondent specifically, although the findings cite that Fulton County may have violated the record retention laws and failure to produce records to the investigator.
We cannot produce records that do not exist.
And I'm saying I'm confident that these double votes did not occur and that these records do not exist.
That's why they were not produced.
We can't violate the law or produce records that don't exist.
salleigh grubbs
How do you prove what doesn't exist?
Now I'm really confused.
unidentified
You can look.
I've provided copies of the My Voter page that demonstrate that there is only one of the registration of the voter registrations that has voter credit.
The other registrations do not.
Now, as to the specifics, is exactly what happened with the data migration.
I can't answer that specifically.
My understanding is that Secretary of State has acknowledged that there is some kind of issue that occurred, which is why they told us don't pull the merged record up in Jarvis.
You need to look at the My Voter page.
But I can't speak exactly for the tech people at Secretary of State's office to get a clearer understanding on that.
janice johnston
Would you say that for every voter credit, there must be a paper document that supports that voter credit, that the voter either applied for an absentee ballot for the return to the absentee ballot or applied for a ballot in person?
unidentified
We have those records for the one vote.
We don't have records of a double vote because they didn't occur.
So what the investigator is looking for is that they either came in person one time and voted absentee another time and they came in both times.
They voted once.
So we have, as far as I know, we have not, the investigator did not say we did not produce any records.
It's that we didn't produce records of this alleged second vote.
janice johnston
Do you have an explanation of why two different voter registrations, presumably the same person, received voter credit, but there's not documentation to prove that to document to back up that voter credit?
unidentified
Maybe the Secretary of State's office could provide that information.
My understanding is that originally in the original system that it did not show up that way.
I don't have that data.
We don't have access to E-Net anymore to verify that.
But again, this is the same issue that happened in Walker County.
Now, they actually had a screenshot still of the E-Net because the issue had arisen before they lost access.
And I can't, I don't believe that this is unique to Walker and Fulton County.
I mean, I think this is what they're doing.
They had evidence to back up what they were saying.
Right.
And in that case, the investigator had contacted them before they lost access to E-Net.
So they were able to screenshot it and they kept it.
I don't have that here, but I can't believe that it's only Walker and Fulton County that this happened to.
I think this is probably a wider issue.
Would Motion for Continuance 00:11:32
unidentified
Any further questions from the board?
I think Mr. Fraser wanted to say.
I think Mr. Fraser wanted to say.
Yeah, sorry.
jason frazier
I just wanted to be very specific.
So the data that I'm downloading, because there were some questions, I'm downloading that directly from the Secretary of State's office.
The voter history file, anybody can download that from the Secretary of State's office anytime they want.
So that's the voter history.
The absentee voter file is right on the Secretary of State site.
And the voter rolls that I work with were purchased directly from the Secretary of State side.
So I'm not going anywhere else.
I'm not making up information.
All I'm doing is comparing data files.
And the other thing, it was just stated here that the one individual was given credit for voting.
And I'm looking at Ms. Hyacinth Clark's absentee voter file.
This is a file directly downloaded from the Secretary of State's office.
And it shows that she had an application date, a ballot issue date, but no ballot return date.
And it says mail-in.
So if it was never returned, how was it ever credited?
So again, just one more clerical error, if you will, which seems like that's all Fulton County does is run clerical errors.
But again, nothing matches.
So that's what I'm trying to get to is we've got to raise the standard here to where there can be an audit of an election.
Right now, that cannot happen.
salleigh grubbs
So let me ask a question for Fulton County.
Do you have, and I ask you about a data analyst, if you're routinely doing these things in Fulton County, which the answer appears to be no.
unidentified
I can't.
I'm sorry.
I can't provide you that field.
Again, I was only retained Monday.
Maybe there is more.
I can provide an updated response to that, but I would have to.
salleigh grubbs
Is there someone here who might be able to answer that question?
steve bannon
We're going to get, we're going to play a little more of this in the thing.
And I am going to talk to the folks that were witnesses today in the Georgia Election Board.
As the Arizona engine room picked up the buried lead, folks, she got retained on Monday.
This shows you, this is just, this is Fulton County cover-up.
They panicked.
They've got nothing.
None of the records match.
That's John Q. Public right there.
The voice of reason.
It's Jimmy Stewart.
And Mr. Smith goes to Washington.
The guy's saying, hey, look, I'm just taking your public data.
Nothing matches.
Nothing crosses.
You can't audit it.
You're a bunch of incompetents or liars or cheats and you're all of it.
And of course, the woman there with the government gobbledygook.
Well, you know, before the merge system and this system and this system, he goes to this whole rigamoro.
And the guy goes, he says, I'm not talking about any of that.
This is before.
Then she blurts out halfway through.
And I appreciate the engine room as I texted him.
I said that's jumped up too.
Halfway through, she goes, well, I was just retained on Monday.
Why did they retain her on Monday?
So because they're not competent to come up and make a presentation in front of the Georgia board.
And these are the people that stole the election in 2020.
You damn right, you ought to be mad.
And they're going to sit here now and do this all with the merge system with Eric and Britt.
Screw you.
Take over Fulton County today.
We're not going to let it happen in 26.
I don't give a damn if MMC wet themselves tonight on TV.
It will never happen.
We're going to have ice outside to make sure no illegal aliens vote.
And we're going to take over places like Fulton County and Maricopa County to make sure this never happens again.
This is the greatest crime in American history.
And you just saw the defense right there retained on Monday.
unidentified
back in the warm in a moment that's that's what's happening here because we have people coming up saying i'm trying my best I'm doing the work.
I'm trying my best.
I'm trying my best.
And I believe that.
I really do.
And unfortunately, it looks as though, and it's been super politicized, but it looks as though it's the SEB against Fulton County.
And the reason why it looks like that is because we constantly see all of these eras and clerical eras and eras that are coming up.
And then the explanation somehow connects back to the Secretary of State's office, who never shows up, who won't come to our meeting, who doesn't even have your back when it comes to this.
And I have held my tongue for a long time on saying that, but I am tired of having to hear from people who are like, I'm doing my best.
I'm doing my best.
When the person that's supposed to ensure that they have all they need to actually do their best is not only not providing that, but also not showing up.
And I want you to make your motion because I have another motion behind that because I'm just really tired of not having answers because the people who hold the answer is too busy running around outside doing whatever they're doing and not doing their job.
salleigh grubbs
Yes, ma'am.
Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion.
unidentified
Yes.
salleigh grubbs
I would like to make a motion that this case be continued to next month.
And I would like to make a motion that we subpoena the Secretary of State, Brad Rappensberger, to come to that meeting and to bring with him whoever he would like to explain how these situations happen and to explain why Ms. Glenn and her team that she worked so diligently with at Fulton County, why they are not able to do what needs to be done.
And I would like for the Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, to be subpoenaed to come before us and explain to Mr. Frazier why this migration issue happened with Enet and Garvis and why it's still not fixed and what other counties are affected in the state of Georgia.
unidentified
Yep.
So that way we don't have to keep having Fulton County come up here repeatedly.
Yeah, sorry.
steve bannon
That would need to be two different motions, I think.
salleigh grubbs
Okay, my first motion is this case be continued to next month.
steve bannon
Look, we have most Georgia businessmen and all the guys, you know, we got the airfield and we're global.
We got Coke.
We got that.
This is what the world's looking at.
Okay.
This is democracy.
This is what the world's looking at.
You are not, those incompetent clowns in Fulton County are not going to steal another election.
We have 25 million illegal aliens in this country.
The country's coming apart because they worked Maricopa County, in Philadelphia, in Detroit, in Milwaukee to steal the 2020 election.
And if people aren't prepared to roll up their sleeves and get this done now, and let me tell MSNBC and all you guys, you're going to have ICE around the polling places and you're going to have places like Fulton County in these other counties are going to be seized by the states to make sure that you can actually run a competent election.
This is a disgrace.
This goes back to everything in 2020, and every Republican that's not with us is again us.
Very simple.
Mike Lindell, you would have.
And the woman, they send it.
This is the Tom Wolf book with a bureaucrat comes in there and just does it.
This is the Tom Wolf book that, you know, was it Mau Mauing the Flat Catchers?
This is perfect.
You just send her in.
She goes, well, she's getting beat up.
I was only retained on Monday.
Mike Lindell, what do you got for us?
I know you're about to have a stroke.
mike lindell
Well, let me tell you, Steve, Brad Rastenberger was my number one nemesis throughout.
You go back five years.
The biggest bonker and traitor I believe this country's ever seen.
If you remember, Steve, the Curling versus Rastenberger case went on for eight years, everybody.
And an Obama-appointed judge finally threw it out on standing.
Rastenberger absolutely never showed up in court.
He hid behind his Secretary of State's office.
The call that he originally made with our President Donald Trump, everything that was listed there, those real numbers, those were the real numbers.
Ratzenberger never, he never even, he goes, wait, the president said, well, where are the real numbers?
He said, sir, those are the numbers.
We got them from Brad.
And he goes, well, when are we going to get the real run?
Brad Rastenberger has been part of the biggest cover-up of the biggest crime this country's.
steve bannon
The biggest crime in the history of the country.
Okay.
I've got another sponsor that's standing shoulder to shoulder with me.
He wants to get his pitch in Mike.
Tell me the deal you got for the posse right now.
We're going to do Georgia again tomorrow morning.
What do you got for?
mike lindell
Okay, we're going to outdo the Patriot Mobile here on this one.

unidentified
Hold it.
steve bannon
I'm going to have you back on tomorrow morning just as a guest.
I know you run for governor, but just to talk about Raffensburger, your head would have blown up.
Caroline Jeffers, the great folks in Georgia, been texting me.
He says, now the nation can see the raw incompetence of Fulton County in all of its glory.
And they just subpoenaed Raffensburg.
They shouldn't have it next month.
They should have been be down there tomorrow.
Mike Lindell.
Love you, brother.
See you.
mike lindell
Thanks.
Thanks.
steve bannon
We got it in nine seconds.
You were at live and we streamed it live.
The attorney generals talk to me about it because we're going.
I'm doing an analysis.
The next hour, War Room, Texas.
I'm going to break it all down for you.
Aaron Wrights versus Chip Roy and MAGA Mays.
glenn story
Yeah, they say MAGA Mays.
unidentified
He did well.
I would just say this.
glenn story
I thought all the candidates looked pretty good.
unidentified
Good.
glenn story
You know, they had good answers.
And you look at them and say, okay, this is a good deal.
steve bannon
But first question is about Islam.
unidentified
Oh, man.
glenn story
And you know what?
I thought Aaron lit it up.
I think they all did really well, Chip.
Did a very nice job.
You know, I'd probably, if I were to grade it, I'd probably give Aaron the nod because he's just, you know, he's a command presence.
mike lindell
Yeah, that's right.
glenn story
And not only that, he's done it.
steve bannon
972 Patriot.
Where do we go?
glenn story
But, you know, I'm going to top Lindell right here.
He's got the commemorative mug.
Well, I've got this commemorative phone case that we'll send you, and it's $199.
I'm just kidding.
In all honesty, we'll send you a phone case.
steve bannon
972 Patriot.
Go to there right now.
You're going to get somebody with an East Texas accent to talk about the best phone service in the country.
unidentified
Amen.

Stick around.
