Reaction from around the world pours in as the U.S. and Israel strike targets in Iran. Thousands of flights have been canceled across the Middle East and beyond as rattled markets react to higher oil prices. On Tuesday, President Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz signaled a unified front against the regime during a meeting in the Oval Office. Amid reports that the strikes were a preemptive move to neutralize a rapidly advancing Iranian nuclear program, the President acknowledged the risk of future instability while expressing hope for a domestic military stand-down. Alex Gray, former Chief of Staff to the National Security Council, breaks down what he believes led up to this weekend's strike, the "downstream effects" of this escalation, and what it means for other global flashpoints like Ukraine and the South China Sea.Multiple direct military strikes by the U.S. and Israel have killed Iran's top leadership, escalating decades of proxy tensions into a high-stakes, open confrontation. Senior fellow at the Ronald Reagan Institute Tevi Troy joins to discuss how the relationship devolved from a century-old alliance and celebratory parades into a modern struggle against a radical regime.

Charles Guiteau was seething. He'd convinced himself that he deserved a political appointment. When he didn't get one, he placed the blame squarely on President James Garfield's shoulders. James Garfield was a liar. A cheat. The country would be better off without him! Over time, Charles convinced himself that God wanted him to assassinate the president. So? He bought a gun. He tracked the president's movements. He shot the President in cold blood.Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from: The book, “Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine, and the Murder of a President,” by Candice MillardThe book, “Dark Horse: The Surprise Election and Political Murder of President James A.

This special episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show honors the life and legacy of Robert Duvall, who recently transitioned to the next plane of existence at the age of 95. Duvall's extraordinary career includes unforgettable performances in The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Tender Mercies.  His cult film classics include THX 1138, The Killer Elite, Colors, and Falling Down. Yet it was The Apostle — Duvall's passion project — that may stand as his most intimate and fearless work. In the film, he portrays Euliss F. "Sonny" Dewey, a Pentecostal preacher battling inner demons who, after committing murder, flees to Louisiana and reinvents himself as "The Apostle E.F.," and builds a multiracial church. Longtime listeners know the very special place "Bobby D" and The Apostle hold in the history of this show and in Chauncey's own life journey. For this celebration of life and remembrance, Chauncey is joined by the Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, President and CEO of Interfaith Alliance. A leading advocate for civil rights and religious freedom, they reflect on Duvall's embodiment of The Apostle E.F., the film's portrayal of charismatic Christian traditions, the power of faith, and its meditation(s) on the color line and our shared humanity and life journeys. Together, they consider the meaning of Chauncey DeVega's and The Apostle E.F.'s "holy ghost walks" — and how our bodies can become sites of freedom, resistance, and power in dark and oppressive times. On this episode of the podcast, Chauncey also shares his thoughts about Trump's war of choice against Iran, our political vertigo and the worsening disaster. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

Interview with Heye Daun, President & CEO of Koryx Copper Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/koryx-copper-tsxvkry-seasoned-executives-aim-to-unlock-value-in-huge-namibian-copper-project-6281Recording date: 1st March 2026Koryx Copper Inc. is developing the Haib copper project in Namibia, one of sub-Saharan Africa's most stable and established mining jurisdictions. Under the leadership of CEO Heye Daun, a Namibian citizen, mining engineer, and serial dealmaker, the company has transformed a previously mismanaged junior mining asset into a credible large-scale copper development opportunity in under two years.The Haib project was drilled originally by Rio Tinto in the 1970s but was left undeveloped as copper prices at the time did not support a low-grade sulfide deposit. It eventually passed to Deep South Resources, which proposed bio-heap-leach processing, a method not proven at commercial scale for sulfide material, and subsequently lost its operating licenses. When Daun's team assumed control, they reinstated conventional milling and flotation, the standard and bankable processing route for sulfide copper, and rebuilt both the technical and financial credibility of the asset from the ground up.The resulting PEA published in 2025 modelled just under 100,000 tonnes of annual copper production at a capital cost of approximately $1.5 billion, using a copper price of $4.30 per pound which roughly 30% below spot at the time of the PDAC 2026 interview. The middle-of-the-cost-curve economics hold up at conservative assumptions, and management's stated approach to study assumptions has historically been validated: on both prior Namibian transactions, the step from PEA to PFS maintained or improved the project scope rather than contracting it.The next milestone is the PFS, expected by end of 2026. This study will sharpen engineering and cost estimates, providing a more bankable document for potential financing discussions and strategic partner conversations. Alongside the PFS, Koryx is expanding its mineral resource and adding exploration ground around the Haib project, with a new, larger resource estimate expected in the near term.Financially, the company has moved from a $10 million market capitalisation to raising over $100 million, including a $51 million institutional placement that attracted Middle Eastern and Chinese financial groups as strategic participants. The company states it is sufficiently capitalised to reach an investment decision without further dilutive financing in the near term.The long-term construction path is expected to involve a major mining company or capital partner given the scale of investment required. Daun has been explicit about this: a $1.5 to $2 billion project is beyond the appropriate scope for a junior developer to build independently. Whether that takes the form of a joint venture, acquisition, or offtake-led financing arrangement will be determined in part by prevailing market conditions and the company's share price at the time of the investment decision.For investors, the near-term investment case rests on two catalysts: the mineral resource expansion and the PFS delivery. Both are well-defined, time-bounded events that, if executed credibly, represent meaningful de-risking steps for an asset that already has institutional and strategic interest at the door.View Koryx Copper's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/koryx-copperSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Jeffrey R. Wilson, President & CEO OF Precipitate Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/precipitate-gold-tsxvprg-positions-for-discovery-in-de-risked-dominican-republic-9049Recording date: 1st March 2026Precipitate Gold Corp. (TSXV:PRG) is a junior gold and copper explorer focused on two projects in the Dominican Republic. Entering 2026, the company is better capitalised, better connected, and closer to meaningful exploration results than at any point in recent years. For investors evaluating the junior gold space, the setup warrants attention.The company closed a $6.5 million financing in January 2026, distinguishing itself not by the amount raised but by the source. Dominican Republic generational-wealth families with diversified business interests and decades of in-country influence anchored the round. They now hold more than 20% of the share registry. These are not speculative mining investors. They have also backed neighbouring Goldquest at successively higher price points, and they have expressed willingness to support future capital requirements if the exploration programmes deliver results. That kind of aligned, long-term, in-country capital is rare for a company at Precipitate's stage, and it materially changes the company's operational and regulatory posture in the Dominican Republic.The first drill programme begins at Pueblo Grande in March 2026. The project sits immediately adjacent to Barrick Gold's Pueblo Viejo open-pit mine, one of the largest gold operations on the planet. Barrick previously spent approximately $7 million exploring this ground before returning it to Precipitate. In reviewing that dataset, Precipitate's geologists identified a chargeability anomaly of geophysical indicator of potential sulphide mineralisation that appears to have been overlooked or deprioritised. The anomaly is substantial: approximately 800 by 400 metres, beginning at around 100 metres depth and extending to 350 metres, sitting roughly half a kilometre from the pit edge. Precipitate confirmed it with independent geophysical surveying. An initial programme of approximately 2,000 metres across four to five holes will determine whether the target contains meaningful mineralisation. Management has been clear: this is a binary event. Positive results will expand the programme; negative results shift focus entirely to Juan de Herrera.Juan de Herrera is the company's flagship project and sits adjacent to Goldquest's Romero deposit, a reported resource of approximately 3.5 million gold-equivalent ounces. Precipitate has assembled an extensive exploration database there over several years—surface geochemistry, geological mapping, and multiple rounds of ground geophysics—on ground that has never been drilled by any prior operator. A 10,000-metre campaign across four to five targets is planned to run from Q2 through year-end 2026. Goldquest's own 2026 drilling activity at and around Romero will independently generate news flow that draws attention to the belt, functioning as an additional catalyst that costs Precipitate nothing.The broader context matters. The Dominican Republic's regulatory environment has shifted. Community opposition that stalled permits for years has been addressed through structured engagement. Permits are being issued. Institutional interest in the jurisdiction is growing. And gold's macroeconomic backdrop—sustained elevated prices, constrained supply from ageing deposits, and continued central bank demand—provides the most supportive exploration environment in nearly a decade.Precipitate enters 2026 with a funded balance sheet, strategic assets, quality backers, and two imminent drill programmes. The risk profile is that of a junior explorer: binary outcomes are possible at Pueblo Grande, and first-pass drilling at Juan de Herrera carries inherent uncertainty. But the conditions supporting a positive outcome—geological, financial, jurisdictional, and macroeconomic—are as well aligned as they have been in the company's history. Investors with appropriate risk tolerance should be watching closely as results begin to flow from March onward.View Precipitate Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/precipitate-gold-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Kiran Patankar, President & CEO of Maple Gold MinesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/maple-gold-mines-tsxvmgm-undervalued-investment-series-with-kiran-patankar-9201Recording date: 1st March 2026Maple Gold Mines enters 2026 at an operational and financial inflection point. The company is executing a 30,000-metre drill program, more than double its 2025 output, across two Quebec gold projects, Douay and Joutel, with three rigs turning around the clock in the Abitibi greenstone belt. The program is fully funded by a $30 million treasury, built through a disciplined series of financings at progressively higher share prices. There is no near-term capital requirement, which removes a significant source of uncertainty for investors assessing a junior explorer in a volatile market.The central investment argument for Maple Gold rests on a gap that is both quantifiable and actionable. Douay's existing NI 43-101 resource of approximately 3 million ounces was last updated in 2022 at a US$1,800 gold price and was constructed from drilling across just 6 of 55 kilometres of strike length the company controls. Douay has seen approximately 275,000 metres in total. The exploration upside that implies is not speculative; it is a function of metres drilled relative to geological scale.Agnico Eagle's presence as a joint venture partner and strategic shareholder matters beyond its symbolic value. It reflects the assessment of a major producer with direct operating experience in the Abitibi that Douay is a district-scale asset worth a long-term commitment. That endorsement supports both the geological thesis and the eventual range of commercial outcomes, from standalone development to strategic consolidation.The 2026 agenda is structured around converting exploration momentum into economic credibility. A resource update incorporating all post-2022 drilling and built on a geologically driven block model will provide a restated ounce count at current gold prices, giving the market a fresh basis on which to assess the per-ounce valuation gap relative to peers. That update will be followed by a preliminary economic study, the first formal analysis of what an operation at Douay-Joutel might look like. CEO Kieran Patankar has been explicit that the study will present a realistic starter scenario such as a 5,000-tonne-per-day operation rather than an optimal but unfinanceable mega-project, keeping the analysis credible and actionable for Maple Gold's current market capitalisation of approximately C$200 million.Joutel, the past-producing high-grade component of the portfolio, adds a blending and grade-optionality dimension that the economics study will need to address. Early drilling results already indicate that mineralisation extends well beyond historical mine workings, and 32 of 39 completed holes are yet to be released, providing a near-term catalyst pipeline throughout the year.For investors, the combination of a funded multi-year drill program, a deeply under-explored Tier 1 asset, institutional backing from one of the world's leading gold producers, and a clear 2026 de-risking roadmap makes Maple Gold one of the more compelling risk-reward propositions currently available in the junior gold exploration space. The resource update and economic study are the milestones to watch.View Maple Gold Mines' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/maple-gold-mines-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Maura Kolb, President of Dryden Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/dryden-gold-tsxvdry-11m-exploration-budget-funds-32000m-program-in-high-grade-gold-district-9261Recording date: 2nd March 2026Dryden Gold Corp. (TSXV:DRY) is one of the more technically coherent high-grade gold exploration stories in the Canadian junior sector. The company holds an 80,000-hectare land package in northwestern Ontario, hosts mineralisation grading up to 53,700 grams per tonne gold, and is advancing a fully funded 32,000-metre drill programme in 2026 aimed at building the discovery footprint toward a future multi-million ounce resource.The company's primary focus is the Gold Rock target area, which has undergone a material transformation in the two years since systematic exploration began. At the outset, geologists had mapped three mineralised structures within the target. That count has now reached 15 parallel structures, with two separate drill holes separated by 500 metres of strike confirming the same structural inventory at each intersection. That spatial consistency is a meaningful geological signal: it suggests the system is not a series of isolated occurrences but a laterally continuous mineralised corridor with repeating, predictable architecture.The most recent drilling also extended the Big Master system, a secondary gold structure within Gold Rock, to a true depth of 460 metres, more than four times its previously drilled vertical extent. This depth extension effectively doubles the size of that target and introduces a meaningful question about the system's behaviour at depth, which the 2026 programme is well-positioned to begin answering.The company's broader geological model, the "string of pearls" thesis, holds that the 20-kilometre Gold Rock trend will ultimately host multiple discrete deposits, each analogous to the individual mines that define the Red Lake gold camp. The Mud Lake discovery last summer, which displays a geological footprint consistent with the Gold Rock target area, provides early validation of this model. Two further anomalies on the same trend remain untested and will be drilled in 2026.A property-wide soil geochemistry programme has added a further dimension to the targeting picture. The results align with the structural model, with the most pronounced anomalies occurring at the intersections the geological team had already identified as highest priority. The Hyndman target on the eastern side of the property is an emerging area of interest, with soil data indicating that initial drill holes tested only a fraction of the anomalous system.From a capital structure perspective, Dryden Gold is differentiated by its lean operating model. There is no corporate office; management and technical staff are based on-site in Dryden. Approximately 80% of all capital raised has been deployed directly into exploration. Centerra Gold holds a 9.9% strategic stake, providing third-party validation of the geological thesis without creating near-term dilution pressure.Management has been explicit about deferring a resource estimate until sufficient discovery footprint has been established to support a resource at institutional scale. The 2026 field season with 32,000 metres of funded drilling across multiple high-priority targets represents the most significant exploration period in the company's history to date, and the results will be the primary driver of value through the year.View Dryden Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/dryden-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This week we talk about Anthropic, the Department of Defense, and OpenAI.We also discuss red lines, contracts, and lethal autonomous systems.Recommended Book: Empire of AI by Karen HaoTranscriptLethal autonomous weapons, often called lethal autonomous systems, autonomous weapons systems, or just ‘killer robots,' are military hardware that can operate independent of human control, searching for and engaging with targets based on their programming and thus not needing a human being to point it at things or pull the trigger.The specific nature and capabilities of these devices vary substantially from context to content, and even between scholars writing on the subject, but in general these are systems—be they aerial drones, heavy gun emplacements, some kind of mobile rocket launcher, or a human- or dog-shaped robot—that are capable of carrying out tasks and achieving goals without needing constant attention from a human operator.That's a stark contrast with drones that require either a human controlled or what's called a human-in-the-loop in order to make decisions. Some drones and other robots and weapons require full hands-on control, with a human steering them, pointing their weapons, and pulling the trigger, while others are semi-autonomous in that they can be told to patrol a given area and look for specific things, but then they reach out to a human-in-the-loop to make final decisions about whatever they want to do, including and especially weapon-related things; a human has to be the one to drop the bomb or fire the gun in most cases, today.Fully autonomous weapon systems, without a human in the loop, are far less common at this point, in part because it's difficult to create a system so capable that it doesn't require human intervention at times, but also because it's truly dangerous to create such a device.Modern artificial intelligence systems are incredibly powerful, but they still make mistakes, and just as an LLM-based chatbot might muddle its words or add extra fingers to a made-up person in an image it generates, or a step further, might fabricate research referenced in a paper it produces, an AI-controlled weapon system might see targets where there are no targets, or might flag a friendly, someone on its side, or a peaceful, noncombatant human, as a target. And if there's no human-in-the-loop to check the AI's understanding and correct it, that could mean a lot of non-targets being treated like targets, their lives ended by killer robots that gun them down or launch a missile at their home.On a larger scale, AI systems controlling arrays of weapons, or even entire militaries, becoming strategic commanders, could wipe out all human life by sparking a nuclear war.A recent study conducted at King's College London found that in simulated crises, across 21 scenarios, AI systems which thought they had control of nation-state-scale militaries opted for nuclear signaling, escalation, and tactical nuclear weapon use 95% of the time, never once across all simulations choosing to use one of the eight de-escalatory options that were made available to them.All of which suggests to the researchers behind this study that the norm, approaching the level of taboo, associated with nuclear weapons use globally since WWII, among humans at least, may not have carried over to these AI systems, and full-blown nuclear conflict may thus become more likely under AI-driven military conditions.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent confrontation between one AI company—Anthropic—and its client, the US Department of Defense, and the seeming implications of both this conflict, and what happened as a result.—In late-2024, the US Department of Defense—which by the way is still the official title, despite the President calling it the Department of War, since only Congress can change its name—the US DoD partnered with Anthropic to get a version of its Claude LLM-based AI model that could be used by the Pentagon.Anthropic worked with Palantir, which is a data-aggregation and surveillance company, basically, run by Peter Thiel and very favored by this administration, and Amazon Web Services, to make that Claude-for-the-US-military relationship happen, those interconnections allowing this version of the model to be used for classified missions.Anthropic received a $200 million contract with the Department of Defense in mid-2025, as did a slew of other US-based AI companies, including Google, xAI, and OpenAI. But while the Pentagon has been funding a bunch of US-based AI companies for this utility, only Claude was reportedly used during the early 2026 raid on Venezuela, during which now-former Venezuelan President Maduro was taken by US forces.Word on the street is that Claude is the only model that the Pentagon has found truly useful for these sorts of operations, though publicly they're saying that investments in all of these models have borne fruit, at least to some degree.So Anthropic's Claude model is being used for classified, military and intelligence purposes by the US government. Anthropic has been happy about this, by all accounts, because that's a fair bit of money, but also being used for these purposes by a government is a pretty big deal—if it's good enough for the US military, after all, many CEOs will see that as a strong indication that Claude is definitely good enough for their intended business purposes.On February 24 of 2026, though, the US Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, threatened to remove Anthropic from the DoD's stable of AI systems that they use unless the company allowed the DoD to use Claude for any and all legal purposes—unrestricted use of the model, basically.This threat came with a timeline—accede to these demands by February 27 or be cut from the DoD's supply chain—and the day before that deadline, the 26th, Anthropic's CEO released a statement indicating that the company would not get rid of its red lines that delineated what Claude could and could not be used for, and on the 27th, US President Trump ordered that all US agencies stop using Anthropic tools, and said that he would declare the company a supply chain risk, which would make it illegal for any company doing business with the US government at any level and in any fashion to use Anthropic products or services—a label that's rarely used, and which was previously used by the Trump administration against Chinese tech giant Huawei on the basis that the company might insert spy equipment in communications hardware installed across the US if they were allowed to continue operating in the country.Those red lines that Anthropic's CEO said he wouldn't get rid of, not even for a client as big and important as the US government, and not even in the face of threats by Hegseth, including that he might invoke the Defense Production Act, which would allow him to force the company to allow the Pentagon to use Claude however they like, or Trumps threat that the company be blacklisted from not just the government, but from working with a significant chunk of Fortune 500 companies, those red lines include not allowing Claude to be used for controlling autonomous weapon systems, killer robots, basically, and not allowing Claude to be used for surveilling US citizens.The Pentagon signed a contract with Anthropic in which they agreed to these terms, but Hegseth's new demand was that Anthropic sign a new version of the contract in which they allow the US government to use Claude and their other offerings for ‘all legal purposes,' which apparently includes, at least in some cases and contexts, killer robots and mass surveillance.So the Pentagon tried to strong-arm a US-based AI company into allowing them to use their product for purposes the company doesn't consider to be moral, and that led to this situation in which Anthropic is now being phased out from US government use—it'll apparently take about 6 months to do this, and some analysts speculate that timeline is meant to serve as a period in which further negotiation can occur—but either way, it's being phased out and it may even have trouble getting major clients in the future as a result of being blackballed.As all this was happening, OpenAI stepped in and offered its products and services to fill the void left by Anthropic in the US government.OpenAI's CEO has been cozying up to Trump a lot since he regained office, and has positioned the company as a major US asset, too big to fail because then China will win the AI race, basically, so this makes sense. Its CEO released several statements and press releases in the wake of this further cozying, saying that they believe the same things Anthropic does, and that they're not giving up any credibility for doing this because they have the same red lines, no killer robots, no mass surveillance of US citizens.But this is generally assumed to be bunk, because why would the Pentagon agree to the same terms all over again, and with a company that provides, for their purposes and right now, anyway, inferior services instead of the one they just chased out and blackballed, and which was helping them do purposeful, effective things, like kidnapping a foreign leader from a secure facility, today?Instead, what it sounds like is OpenAI is trying to have its cake and eat it too, saying publicly that they don't want their offerings used to control autonomous weapons systems or mass surveil Americans, but instead of writing that into the contract, they've got some basic guardrails baked into their systems, and they are assuming those guardrails will keep any funny business from happening. So it's a sort of gentleman's agreement with their clients that OpenAI products won't be used for mass surveillance or killer robots, rather than something legally binding, as was the case with Anthropic.The response to all this within the tech world has been illustrative of what we might expect in the coming years. Many people, including folks working on these technologies, are halting their use of OpenAI tech in protest, and in some (at this point at least) fewer cases, people are quitting their OpenAI jobs, because they are strongly opposed to these use-cases and would prefer to support a company that takes a strong stand on these sorts of moral issues.Some analysts also wonder if this will ensure the Pentagon only ever has access to inferior AI models because they intentionally threatened and disempowered a key AI industry CEO in public, saying that they had final say over how these tools are used, and many such CEOs are both unaccustomed to such stripping down, but are also doing the work they're doing for ideological reasons—they have beliefs about what the future, as enabled by AI technologies, will look like, and they believe they will play a vital role in making that future happen.The idea, then, is why would they want to work with the Pentagon, or the US government more broadly, if that means no longer being in charge of the destiny of these tools they're putting so much time, effort, and resources into building? Why would they take on a client, even a big, important one, if that means no longer having any grain of control over the future of the world as shaped by the systems they're building?We'll know a bit more about how all this plays out within the next handful of months, as this could serve as a moral differentiator between otherwise near-match products in the AI category, allowing companies like Anthropic to compete, both in terms of clients and in terms of employees, with the likes of OpenAI and xAI by saying, look, we don't want killer robots or mass surveillance and we gave up a LOT, put our money where our mouths are, in support of that moral stance.That could prove to be a serious feather in their cap, despite the initial cost, though it could also be that the pressure the US government is willing and able to apply to them instead serves as a warning to others, and the likes of OpenAI and Google and so on just get better at speaking out of both sides of their mouths on this issue, creating sneakier contracts that allow them to say the same on paper, seeming to take the same moral stance Anthropic did, while behind closed doors allowing their clients to do basically whatever they want with their products, including using them to control killer robots and to mass surveil US citizens.Show Noteshttps://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/artificial-intelligence-under-nuclear-pressure-first-large-scale-kings-study-reveals-how-ai-models-reason-and-escalate-under-crisishttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/26/ai-nuclear-weapons-war-pentagon-scenarioshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/technology/openai-agreement-pentagon-ai.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethal_autonomous_weaponhttps://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/885963/anthropic-dod-pentagon-tech-workers-ai-labs-reacthttps://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/886816/openai-reached-a-new-agreement-with-the-pentagonhttps://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/trump-moves-to-ban-anthropic-from-the-us-government/https://apnews.com/article/anthropic-pentagon-ai-dario-amodei-hegseth-0c464a054359b9fdc80cf18b0d4f690chttps://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/whats-really-at-stake-in-the-fight-between-anthropic-and-the-pentagon-d450c1a1https://openai.com/index/our-agreement-with-the-department-of-war/https://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/artificial-intelligence-under-nuclear-pressure-first-large-scale-kings-study-reveals-how-ai-models-reason-and-escalate-under-crisishttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/26/ai-nuclear-weapons-war-pentagon-scenarios This is a public episode.

Over the weekend, President Trump launched Operation Epic Fury, the most ambitious US military operation in decades. In the wake of the 2025 12-Day War, Iran again worked to reconstitute its nuclear weapons program and its missile arsenal. These threats, in combination with the massacre of tens of thousands of Iranians in January, brought the US to the brink of war. The operation has targeted IRGC command, missile defense systems, and senior regime leadership, including the Supreme Leader and his successors. Secretary Hegseth has stated that nothing is off the table, including the possible deployment of ground forces, an option potentially necessary to secure Iran's nuclear materials. Our guest, David Albright, warns that failing to secure those materials will ultimately undermine the operation's success. In the weeks ahead, what indicators will signal whether the regime is truly at risk of collapse? Beyond military targets, what political considerations must be addressed to ensure lasting success once combat operations cease?David Albright is the founder and President of the non-profit Institute for Science and International Security in Washington, D.C. He has written numerous assessments on secret nuclear weapons programs throughout the world, has authored or co-authored nine books and briefed policymakers on non-proliferation policy making.Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

Interview with George Bee, President & CEO of US Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/us-gold-corp-nasdaqusau-meet-the-team-luke-norman-9353Recording date: 1st March 2026US Gold Corp sits in a position that very few junior mining companies can claim in the current market cycle: a fully permitted, fully engineered gold-copper project in a stable North American jurisdiction, backed by $30 million in cash, with a Feasibility Study on the immediate horizon and active financing discussions already underway. For investors trying to identify companies with a credible, near-term path to cash flow, that combination of attributes is difficult to find.The flagship CK Gold Project in Wyoming is the core of the investment case. Located adjacent to the I-80 interstate corridor with a power substation just 16 miles away, the project benefits from infrastructure access that meaningfully reduces capital requirements relative to more remote peers. The operation is designed to be straightforward: a low strip-ratio open pit feeding a concentrator to produce a copper-gold concentrate, with a minor silver credit. That concentrate is currently in high demand from smelters facing feedstock shortages — a market dynamic that adds commercial relevance to the project's timing.The reserve and resource base supports a mine life of 10 to 11 years producing approximately 110,000 gold-equivalent ounces per year, with mineralization open at depth. Management has stated that a modest follow-on exploration program could potentially double the mine life, adding further value without requiring a wholesale redesign of the operation. The prefeasibility study outlined initial capital of $277 million — a figure that has moved higher due to inflation and evolving tariff conditions, but one that management believes is more than counterbalanced by the dramatic improvement in gold and copper prices over the same period.The Feasibility Study, described by CEO George Bee as imminent, is the next major catalyst. Its release will formalize the financing process, and with an 18-to-24-month construction timeline, production by end-2027 or 2028 is a realistic target. The company enters that financing process from a position of strength: $30 million in cash, a tight share structure with approximately 16 million shares outstanding, and strong management alignment through meaningful insider ownership.Jurisdictional quality is not an afterthought here — it is a structural advantage. Wyoming is a resource-friendly state with regulatory agencies that understand mining, a secure legal framework, and no history of the retroactive fiscal changes that have introduced risk premiums into projects across Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia. At a time when supply chain security has become a policy priority for Western governments, a NASDAQ-listed, US-domiciled asset with near-term production credentials is a genuinely differentiated proposition.Looking further out, the Keystone Project in Nevada — 20 square miles of ground situated 11 miles from Nevada Gold Mines' Cortez complex — provides the kind of blue-sky exploration upside that can redefine a company's scale. AI-assisted target generation is now underway across the property. The Challis deposit in Idaho adds a third exploration asset to the portfolio. Together, these positions mean that CK Gold's cash flow, once generated, funds the pursuit of a potentially company-defining discovery rather than simply servicing debt.US Gold Corp is not a speculative exploration story. It is a pre-production company with a defined asset, a clear financing pathway, a management team with real operating credentials, and exploration upside that the market has not yet priced in. For investors seeking leveraged exposure to gold and copper with a credible near-term production timeline, it warrants serious consideration.View U.S. Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/us-gold-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Tara Christie, President & CEO of Banyan Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/banyan-gold-tsxvbyn-76moz-gold-project-advances-toward-2026-pea-8866Recording date: 1st March 2026Banyan Gold Corp. (TSXV:BYN) enters 2026 as one of the more substantive junior gold development stories in Canada's Yukon Territory. With a 7.7-million-ounce gold resource at its AurMac project, a fully funded 40,000-metre drill program underway, and a maiden Preliminary Economic Assessment scheduled for the second half of the year, the company has a clear and near-term catalyst pipeline.The 2025 drill program of approximately 43,000 metres targeted two high-grade zones—Airstrip and Powerline—which are expected to anchor the starter pit economics in the upcoming PEA. Intercepts of 16 metres at 9 g/t and 40 metres at 4 g/t at Airstrip, and multiple 2–3 metre intervals at 16 g/t at Powerline, represent above-average grades relative to the broader deposit. Assay results from the full 2025 campaign remain pending, with a resource update to follow. Step-out drilling has extended the deposit's surface expression by approximately one kilometre in both directions along Airstrip, reinforcing management's view that AurMac is a substantially larger system than legacy models indicated.A separate high-grade silver discovery—18 drill hits across six shallow veins, with grades exceeding 13,000 g/t at depths as shallow as 65 metres—adds a layer of optionality not yet captured in any economic study. The most significant external data point for valuing AurMac is Franco-Nevada's February 2026 acquisition of the project royalty for $52.2 million. The royalty carries a buydown provision reducing it to 1% for $10 million—meaning Franco-Nevada effectively paid approximately $42 million for a 1% net smelter royalty. At Banyan's current market capitalisation, this implies the equity market is ascribing a fraction of the value to the full project that a leading royalty company paid for just one percent of it. That gap is the central valuation argument for the stock.Despite a share price increase of approximately 350% in 2025, Banyan trades at under US$50 per ounce of resource. Yukon development peers trade at US$60 to US$300 per ounce. Christie noted that comparable companies were achieving the US$50/oz valuation at US$1,800 gold—implying the current per-ounce value has not kept pace with the commodity. Three investor misconceptions resolved in October 2025—heap leach versus mill, legacy shareholding overhang, and partial property ownership—had suppressed the stock relative to peers and have now been corrected.Execution risk is reduced by full funding secured in October 2025, an early season start with five drills operating by mid-March, and contracts with senior field personnel signed ahead of competitors. The company is not seeking additional capital and is focused on delivering value from existing resources.The PEA in H2 2026 is the defining event. It will establish the first public economic framework for AurMac and provide the foundation for any subsequent corporate transaction, partnership, or development financing discussion. For investors positioned ahead of that catalyst, the combination of resource scale, jurisdictional quality, external royalty validation, and a measurable per-ounce discount to peers represents a specific and trackable investment case.View Banyan Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/banyan-gold-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Joseph Ovsenek, President & CEO of P2 Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/p2-gold-tsxvpgld-all-known-questions-answered-february-2026-9351Recording date: 1st March 2026P2 Gold Inc. is entering a milestone-driven phase as it advances its Gabbs Project in Nevada through drilling, feasibility work, and permitting. The company's stated objective is to complete a feasibility study by the end of 2026 and position the project for potential construction in 2027.Gabbs is located in Nevada, one of the most established gold-producing jurisdictions globally. The state offers regulatory predictability, developed infrastructure, and a long history of mine development. For investors, jurisdictional stability remains a central consideration, particularly at a time when permitting delays and regulatory changes have affected projects in other regions.Operationally, 2026 is expected to deliver several key catalysts. The company has expanded its drill program to approximately 25,000–30,000 metres, supporting both infill and step-out objectives. Results to date have been reported as consistent with expectations, and the data will feed into an updated mineral resource estimate anticipated by the end of summer 2026. This updated resource will underpin the feasibility study.The 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment outlined a 9 million tonne per year operation producing roughly 110,000 ounces of gold and 33 million pounds of copper annually over a 14-year mine life. Management is currently evaluating increasing throughput to 12 million tonnes per year. If supported by resource growth and economic analysis, this could lift annual gold production toward 150,000 ounces, with copper output potentially rising to 45–50 million pounds per year.Permitting is recognized as the project's critical path. The company has filed its Mining Plan of Operations with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and has initiated baseline environmental studies in advance of final requirements. This proactive approach is intended to reduce schedule risk and align permitting timelines with feasibility completion.From a valuation perspective, P2 Gold's market capitalization of approximately C$225–250 million reflects its status as a mid-stage developer. Successful delivery of a feasibility study, continued de-risking, and measurable permitting progress may support valuation reassessment, particularly given the limited number of advanced-stage development projects of comparable scale in Nevada.Investors evaluating P2 Gold should monitor the delivery of the updated resource estimate, feasibility cost assumptions relative to prevailing gold and copper prices, and permitting progress. As the project transitions from development toward construction readiness, execution against stated milestones will be central to investment performance.Overall, P2 Gold's investment case rests on advancing a scalable Nevada gold-copper project through defined technical and regulatory milestones within a supportive commodity environment.View P2 Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/p2-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This week, Jason is joined by one of the most influential voices in American economics — Austan Goolsbee, President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago!In a rare and time-sensitive episode, Jason goes straight to the source on what's happening in the economy right now — so timely, in fact, the Fed required the episode to be released before their next meeting. Austan breaks down what the Federal Reserve actually does (and what it doesn't), why Chicago has its own Fed, and how monetary policy decisions get made behind the scenes — from interest rates and inflation to employment and consumer spending.Austan also opens up about his path from University of Chicago professor to the White House, including how a personal connection with Barack Obama turned into a front-row seat during one of the most intense economic moments in modern history. He shares what surprised him most about policymaking in Washington, the pressure of making massive decisions with limited information, and why having diverse perspectives — your own “personal board of directors” — matters more than people realize.They get into why consumers still feel crushed by prices even when inflation cools, what's driving the strength of the economy, and why housing affordability may be the biggest long-term issue facing younger generations. Austan even reveals what he considers the ultimate trading secret — and why, despite everything that can go wrong in the world, long-term investing has historically rewarded patience and belief in human innovation.Austan reveals all this and more in another episode you can't afford to miss!Host: Jason TartickCo-Host: David ArduinAudio: John GurneyGuest: Corporate Bro Ross PomerantzStay connected with the Trading Secrets Podcast!

The US and Israel strike targets across Iran for a third day. The American Secretary of Defence, Pete Hegseth, says Washington's objectives won't be achieved "overnight" - but promised conflict with Iran would not lead to an "endless war".

Another Marvel Monday is here! Let's kick off the week with Iron Man 3. ABOUT IRON MAN 3 When Tony Stark's world is torn apart by a formidable terrorist called the Mandarin, he starts an odyssey of rebuilding and retribution. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR IRON MAN 3 May 3, 2013 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF IRON MAN 3 Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man Guy Pearce as Aldrich Killian Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts Don Cheadle as Colonel James Rhodes/War Machine Rebecca Hall as Maya Hansen Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS We're back in 1999 in Switzerland on New Year's Eve. Tony Stark is hanging out with scientist Maya Hansen, who's showing him some new experimental regenerative tech called Extremis. It's supposed to heal the human body — but there's a big problem with it: sometimes it explodes. Also at the party, Tony gets approached by Aldrich Killian, who awkwardly pitches him on joining his company, Advanced Idea Mechanics (AIM). Tony blows him off in the most Tony way possible — tells him to meet on the roof later and then never shows up because he's too busy with Maya. Cut to the present day, and Tony is not doing great. Ever since the alien invasion in New York, he's been having nonstop panic attacks. He barely sleeps, he keeps building new Iron Man suits, and it's putting serious strain on his relationship with Pepper — especially when he accidentally summons a suit in his sleep and it crashes down on top of her. One day Killian shows up to Stark Industries to pitch Pepper on AIM's tech. She's impressed but can tell it's clearly headed toward becoming a weapon, so she turns him down. Happy overhears the meeting and gets bad vibes from Killian and his associate, Eric Savin, so he starts following them. Happy tails Savin into a crowded market and watches him hand off a briefcase to a military veteran. Inside are these weird glowing capsules that look like drugs or something. Happy confronts the guy, things get physical, and that's when he realizes Savin is basically a human weapon. It ends horribly — there's a massive explosion, and Happy is left critically injured in the hospital. A terrorist known as the Mandarin takes credit for the blast, along with several others around the country. Furious about what happened to Happy, Tony goes on live TV, calls out the Mandarin, and — in a truly terrible decision — gives him his home address. Yeah. That backfires immediately. Before the attack, Maya Hansen shows up trying to warn Tony about something, but she doesn't get the chance. Moments later, helicopters roll in and absolutely level Tony's Malibu mansion. Pepper barely survives, and Tony escapes in a new prototype suit that runs out of power mid-flight and crash-lands in rural Tennessee. The world assumes Iron Man is dead. Stranded with a half-working suit, Tony meets a smart kid named Harley who helps him regroup. Together they investigate the site of a nearby Mandarin explosion, and Tony starts noticing a pattern: all the victims are military veterans connected to AIM. After hacking into AIM's systems, Tony learns the truth — the "bombings" aren't terrorist attacks at all. They're caused by failed Extremis experiments. Some people's bodies reject it and literally blow up, and Killian has been covering it up by framing the "Mandarin". Savin tracks Tony down and attacks him, giving him his first real look at how powerful Extremis is. Following the trail to Miami, Tony storms the Mandarin's hideout using homemade weapons since he still doesn't have a working suit — only to discover the Mandarin isn't a mastermind terrorist at all. He's just a clueless British actor named Trevor who was hired to play the role, created by Killian to have someone to blame. Killian then kidnaps Pepper and injects her with Extremis, planning to use her as leverage to force Tony to help perfect the tech. When Maya changes her mind and tries to stop him, Killian kills her real bad. Killian also lures Rhodey — now rebranded as the Iron Patriot — into a trap and steals his armor. Using it, Killian kidnaps the President right off Air Force One in a staged "Mandarin" attack. Tony manages to remotely save some passengers, but the President is taken. The plan? Kill the President live on TV and install the Vice President — who Killian has been secretly giving Extremis to — as a puppet leader. With Tony & Rhodey teaming up, Rhodes rescues the President while Tony goes after Pepper. Tony calls in all of his Iron Man suits that he has been creating while not sleeping and they swarm the platform in an all-out battle. Pepper survives the Extremis procedure and turns out to be incredibly powerful, but during the fight she falls into the flames below, and Tony thinks she's dead. Tony confronts Killian and traps him in a suit that self-destructs — but it still doesn't finish him off. And since the explosion didn't kill Killian, maybe the explosion didn't kill Pepper. That's right - Pepper's alive. Extremis healed her and gave her super strength, and she uses it to finally kill Killian for good. After the fight, Tony has JARVIS destroy all of his Iron Man suits, Pepper's Extremis is stabilized, and Tony finally has the shrapnel removed from his chest. But he'll always be….IRON Man 3.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up — just days into Operation Epic Fury, Israel says it now controls Iran's airspace and is operating directly over Tehran after dismantling key air defense systems and missile infrastructure. We break down what aerial supremacy means strategically — and why Iran, though wounded, remains dangerous. Later in the show — the world reacts. From the United Nations to Brussels, from Moscow to Beijing, global leaders weigh in as the conflict reshapes diplomatic alignments and raises fears of broader escalation. Plus — while the war rages abroad, the FBI shifts into a heightened defensive posture at home. Director Kash Patel orders counterterrorism teams onto high alert as intelligence officials monitor for potential asymmetric blowback inside the United States. And in today's Back of the Brief — a mass shooting in Austin leaves three dead and more than a dozen injured. We bring you the latest details as authorities investigate the motive and whether terrorism may be a factor.

If you want to understand what real brotherhood looks like — not surface-level friendships, not lone wolfing it, not "I've got this" energy — but true fellowship forged through shared hardship, this episode is for you.   Today I sit down with Frank Schwartz, aka Dark Helmet, President of F3 Nation. We dive deep into faith, fellowship, fitness, and what actually changes a man. Frank shares how going from 40 pounds overweight and spiritually empty to leading a global movement of men completely transformed his identity. We talk about sad clown syndrome, why success on paper doesn't equal fulfillment, why most men isolate when they're struggling, and how shared suffering builds trust faster than anything else.   If you've ever asked yourself, "Is this it?" — you're going to want to hear this one.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Introducing Frank Schwartz (Dark Helmet) and the mission of F3 Nation [12:06] The three Fs: Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith — and why they must build in that order [18:05] The Lone Wolf Lie and why men isolate when they're struggling [24:02] Growing up with impossible standards and how that shaped identity [28:56] Sad Clown Syndrome — winning on paper but empty inside [39:00] The pull-up moment that redefined what brotherhood really means [48:49] Do you have what it takes? The answer every man needs to hear     Five Key Takeaways Discipline starts physically — but real transformation is internal. Surface-level friendships will never sustain a man in crisis. Shared suffering accelerates trust faster than conversation alone. Success without brotherhood often leads to quiet emptiness. Every man asks "Do I have what it takes?" — and the answer is yes.     Links & Resources F3 Nation: https://f3nation.com Frank Schwartz Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leadwithvirtue The Men's Forge Live Event: https://themensforge.com Episode Shownotes: http://thedadedge.com/1446       Closing     If you're tired of lone wolfing it… if you're successful on paper but feel disconnected… if you know there's more inside you but you haven't unlocked it yet — this episode is your invitation.   Get around strong men.

Today's Headlines: The U.S. and Israel launched Operation EPIC FURY, striking more than 1,000 targets across Iran. Iran retaliated widely, aiming at U.S. bases in the Gulf but also hitting civilian sites in Dubai, including the airport, the Burj Al Arab, and the Fairmont Palm Hotel. President Donald Trump said the U.S. sank nine Iranian warships, warned Americans to expect casualties and by Sunday, three U.S. service members were dead. In a major escalation, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad were reported killed, along with dozens of senior officials. Iran then closed the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about 20% of global oil supply. Oil prices are projected to jump roughly 9% as markets reopen. Members of Congress from both parties are now pushing for a War Powers Act vote, noting they were not consulted before the strikes began. At the Pentagon, AI drama escalated. After asking how its model was used in a prior operation, Anthropic lost a $200 million federal contract and was labeled a “supply chain risk” by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Within a day, the Pentagon reached a deal with OpenAI, which says it maintains similar guardrails. Separately, reporting from The Washington Post and ProPublica details a draft executive order circulated by Trump allies that claims China interfered in 2020 and could declare a national emergency affecting election administration ahead of the midterms. Former national security adviser Michael Flynn reportedly convened allies to discuss the plan. Speaker Mike Johnson warned losing the midterms would effectively end Trump's presidency. And in Austin, Texas, two people were killed and 14 wounded in a bar shooting now being investigated by the FBI as a potential act of terrorism.

In this episode, we explore the complex world of degenerative and inflammatory conditions, and how stem cell–derived exosomes may offer a new frontier in regenerative care. Joining us to share his perspective is Caleb Granger, the Founder and President of Apex Medical – a cutting-edge provider focused on advanced biologic therapies. Apex Medical harnesses high-concentration, clinical-grade stem cell exosomes, which are tiny extracellular vesicles released by stem cells. These vesicles carry proteins, lipids, and genetic material that help cells communicate and promote tissue repair. With growing interest in their potential to modulate inflammation and support tissue regeneration, could exosomes represent a major shift in how we approach chronic disease, joint degeneration, and neurologic decline? Caleb sits down to explain… Hit play to learn more about: The two pillars of Apex Medical's regenerative approach. How stem cell exosomes differ from stem cell therapy. The ways in which exosomes are introduced into the body. The intersection of biohacking, longevity, and regenerative medicine. Before founding Apex Medical, Caleb held senior leadership roles in the spine and orthopedic industries, overseeing marketing, sales, and product strategy at NuVasive and SeaSpine. His experience includes product development and earned recognition for top sales performance, which has fueled his mission to bring innovative regenerative medicine to patients.
