War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Band. It's Saturday the 11th of January in the year of our Lord 2025. Guys, if you can put up for a second. I'm not off this topic yet. Put up. You can't put Denver. Can you put up the flames of Los Angeles? One of the smarter guys I know had just informed me that one of the engine room. We have a lot of people that watch this show, some of the most sophisticated people in the world and they send me things during this show. I want everybody to understand this said, hey, Bannon, remember the 1906 fire in San Francisco burned for four days and ultimately caused the panic of 1907 that J.P. morgan single handedly had to fix. However, because of how bad the financial panic was, it led to the famed meeting at Creature island and eventually the start of the Federal Reserve. This will be monumentally worse. This is not a jokester. He's connecting dots right there. This is, they said it's $50 billion. It's going to be $150 billion on north. It's going to bankrupt that, that, the, that, that insurance situation out there where you can't get over, you know, you can't get all the assurance you need for the price of these houses. Now you have to go to a private thing that's pulled resources or it's pooled of insurance companies, but it's kind of backed up by I guess a semi government guarantee somehow or at least implied it's going to be a massive bailout and then you're going to have the whole question of why the country, why is the country of 30 people making $32,000 a year bailing out some of the wealthier section of bailing out Holmby Hills or Beverly Hills or Brentwood or Bel Air? This is very serious, folks. And it's getting worse. I mean, how can you justify that? How in a country as great as this country, can you justify it? You see, Katie Turner, you go back to Pacific Palisades, they're in shock. It's gone, it's gone. The Catholic schools, Corpus Christi's gone. The temple's gone. The Episcopalian church is gone. The library is gone. The schools are gone. The houses are gone. Alphabet streets, these quaint little houses, because they've got very tight restrictions. Not like Manhattan beach, some other place. You tear a place down, you build Tehran do next to it. These have very strict. To keep the village flavor of. And the flavor of the place. Like when to a large extent, not perfect. Like when President Reagan moved there with Nancy. Why did they move there? They were under. They were understated folks. Gone. Gone. That fire is burning this morning. You wait till it gets to the Getty Museum. What? The Getty Museum is one of the greatest museums in the world, right? Modern art, I think. Not exactly my line of country, but one of the great museums of the world just continues. Gets worse. This is what happens. And what do they do? They're sitting there trying to stop Trump every step of the way, every step of the way and everything. I don't care if it's jiggering the balance sheet so that he's got. He and Besant have bigger problems what to deal with. You heard Bensman, right? What they're doing on the mass deportations, fighting us every step of the way right up to the end in the Ukraine, shipping more. You know, Harnwell is going to be in a second, making it tougher to make a real deal there. Those are the three big lines of work everywhere you go. And every one of these major things, they're confronting you now when it should be pencils down. The country rendered. If they believed in democracy, they would understand that the country rendered a verdict. The country rendered a verdict on that fiasco yesterday in New York, that embarrassment, and told you what they wanted to do. And, man, they did it. They're like automatons. Convicted felon, convicted felon. I mean, the Chyron is bigger. You can't. You only see the heads of the people. The Chiron's three quarters of the. Of the screen. Convicted felon, convicted felon. You got Weisman, He's a convicted felon. Now, you know, he's a convicted felon. I'm not so sure that Act Weisman is going to play in a cell block. I'm not. I'm just, you know, don't know. Don't know. Don't know that. Hello, guys. Let's see your papers, Weissman, you got bad paperwork. You got bad paperwork, Weisman, let's see it. Let's see your paperwork before you go to the mess hall, before you can shower, before you can use the TV room. Let's see your. Let's see your paperwork, Weissman. Let's see it. Bad paperwork. Well, I didn't know. Mike, hang on for a second. I know you got to go, but I got to get to some. Okay. I want to go to the Days of Thunder for a second. If Denver can put it up and I'm going to try to review it here. I'm going to bring Lindell in for a minute, but I got to get to this to let you know that Calvary is on its way. Now, our theory of the case is you've got to flood the zone on this media and the apparatus. Otherwise they're going to try to pick you off one at a time. And that's what happens, right? So here's the good news starting next week, and I'll read these and put it up. Denver on Tuesday. These are the hearings that are now scheduled. And next week it's just flooded. They flood the zone next week and they've done a great job of getting folks ready because you got to know, you got to get all the paperwork for the FBI. You also get all your financial stuff in order. This is not easy. It's very cumbersome, very complicated. Then you have to do a murder board. You have to go through exercise day after day of the questions are going to be asked so they're prepared. On Tuesday, we have Doug COLLINS @ the VA Congressman, former Congressman of Georgia, Doug Collins. You got the one and only Pete Hegseth. That starts at 9:30 a sec. Def. We're going to be there with the veterans beforehand. I mean the morning show. We'll be covering that. We're going to cover this and we're going to cover these live and figure out, jump back and forth. We'll be picking up coverage next week. Governor Doug Burgum, Secretary of Interior. That'll be amazing, right? Energy, Natural Resource Committee. Then Wednesday, Kristi Noem, Homeland Security. Pam Bondi, Attorney General Chris Wright, Energy Marco Rubio, Secretary of State Ratcliffe, Director of the CIA Sean Duffy, Transportation, Russ Vogt, the one and only Russ Vogt, omb, folks, for the transition team, Bravo Zulu. Great job. Look at that with six or seven there. Next day, Pam Bondi, I think, comes back for day two, right? You've got Lee Zeldin at epa, Scott Turner at hud, and our own Scott Besant as Secretary of the Treasury. So that's going to flood the zone next week of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, you get them all in. Hey, I don't know, maybe some committee votes shortly thereafter after President Trump takes the inauguration. Maybe committee votes, I don't know, Tuesday, Wednesday, right to the floor. You know, next week could have a, you know, it could feel a pretty good team. This is what's now. I would have loved to have those A couple weeks ago. It wasn't to be, but you got it done because the Senate guys are trying to push it back. This is Susie Wiles and the team, Jason Miller, Stephen Miller, all of them. Great job to give President Trump his team. So Days of Thunder are going to start a little early because I'm sure there's going to be some fireworks. We got to, hey, we're going to have to be fixed bayonets. We got to get these people across the line. The Democrats are out there plotting and planning, right. If they can't stop it to try to embarrass and humiliate people and President Trump, we're gonna be the head of the curve on that. So just make sure, get ready. Next week's a workweek, okay. And then following the following Days of Thunder really gonna kick off in the afternoon of the 20th because President Trump's coming in for shock and awe in every one of those verticals. I think they're working on 100 now. The hundred. Just a minute. The hundred are not gonna all be day one. First off, you gotta get these legal opinions. Office of Legal Counsel. But there's going to be a grunch that are going to be day one. In addition to other things, they're working on some fantastic stuff. And it's going to put people, it's going to. You're going to know there's a new sheriff in town when you see it. So, folks, take the weekend off, get ready. Next week's the Warren Posse up on the ramparts for the, for the confirmation hearings and then get ready to support President Trump. President Trump when he pulls the trigger on Monday. We're also going to have some things in Washington. I'll announce some events that we want to invite the Warren Posse to, to the degree we can kind of handle crowds. But we're going to be announcing that with Mo probably Monday morning. Maybe I'll put it up on Getter over the weekend if we get there. But a bunch of groups are coming together, put some stuff on Be quite fascinating. Mike Lindell, you join us, sir. I need a flannel sheet, I need a cross and I need a pillow. What do you got for me and how we're going to do it?
Ben Harnwell
Well, Steve, I want to quick make a comment. On what? On the fires out there. First of all, we're praying for everybody in California and I want to say, you see everybody how important it is that elections are to secure our election platforms. When you have people in charge that make nonsensical decisions or non decisions, it's a perfect example of the nonsense with Newsom and everyone else out there. But anyway, our prayers go out to them and yeah, for the weekend. For the weekend. War Room Posse. Earlier in the week we announced the crosses that I wear. The Made in the usa. We, we launched them here on the War Room Posse. It's an exclusive. The women's is reversible. It's got a mother of pearl look on one side and black on the other side and they're 30% off.

Back on the show, John Spiropoulos. John, when are you starting tell people what you're doing, where they go, how they follow you, how you support you. When are you going to get here? All of it?
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, next Friday we head toward Washington from Indiana. Moved out of California a year and a half ago. Just in time. We're going to be going into the crowds at the rally on the 19th, on Sunday and at the inauguration. We want to hear from the people, the people who have suffered through the last four years. I didn't watch network television from election night 2020 because of that fraudulent election. And you know, when I talk to people across the country, when we went with the truckers from California to Washington, they were all livid. They were all fed up with the tyranny and we want to go celebrate. It's that simple. We just want to celebrate and revel in that victory. And while we're there, of course there's going to be some news breaking, so we're going to ask people about that. So we have executive orders, as you mentioned. Hopefully we have pardoned of most, if not all of the J. Sixers political prisoners. And we're going to be monitoring what the news is and finding out when it's going to happen. Now, you may have an inside track.
Mike Lindell

Mike Lindell
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. Nicole Shanahan, we've had her on the show. She' the vice presidential candidate under Bobby Kennedy comes from Silicon Valley. One of the smartest people I know, Nicole Shanahan. And if Grace can get it in the live chat and get the camera, let's get to Denver so they can put it up. This is a quote for all of you climate change doomsayers. California has been out of a drought since 2022. We've seen record rainfall and yet the California Department of Water Resources, big city mayors and the governor have failed to use that water to increase ground hydration and strengthen emergency fire services. They look the other way. Despite warnings from universities, fire departments, farmers and consultants offering actionable plans. It's mind boggling negligence. I would say criminal negligence, ma'am. Continuing on. The government in California has been taking orders from the wrong people for too long. It's time they wake up, grow a pair and get to work for the people. That's Nicole Shanahan, vice presidential candidate with Bobby Kennedy. And hopefully she takes a senior role in President Trump's administration. Birchgold.com, philip Patrick is going to be with me. Philip actually had his house evacuated the other night. He still got some tough cell service. We're going to try to get him up on video and hope it goes well. Philip Patrick of Birch Gold will be joining us. Folks, I haven't gotten to the financial part because we don't have time today. We'll talk a little bit about it with, with Philip and the refinancing of this. Birchgold.com Bannon just don't get the it's got the end of the dollar empire, the free. You get the modern monetary theory. Do that. But I think now you need to actually build your relationship with the company. You need to meet Philip Patrick and their Advisors, talk about 401 s IRAs, all of it. The instrumentality of how you get involved in precious metals as an alternative investment, particularly a hedge against times of turbulence. So check it out today. Birchgold.com Bannon get everything there. Or you can just take Bannon B A N N O N at 989-898 on your phone. You get all your information. How's that modern technology. Who to thunk it, right? Ben Harnwell, another thing. So with three lines of work, right, you got the financial. I have Philip Patrick, totally turbulent. Seven trillion. That's got to be refinanced. We now found out. You just see what they're doing on the deportations in the border, right? They're putting up barriers. They're making it tougher. They're giving people waivers. Princess Trump's all over that. That ain't nothing compared to stopping the kinetic part of the Third World War, which we're in right now with a million seven either dead or wounded in Ukraine. And Ukraine looks almost as bad as the Palisades. Not as bad. Think about that. Three years of war with the Russian army. It doesn't look as bad. Tells you how California looks today. Ben, this article at Kagan, I know you got new updates on this. Biden and these guys are shoveling money over there as fast as they can to try to make sure the Ukrainians continue to fight, to try to take away President Trump's ability to end this thing. Kagan they have set a trap for President Trump. They want President Trump to own this war and own the catastrophe, the geopolitical catastrophe, the human catastrophe, the financial catastrophe. They want it on Trump. They're actually writing articles in Atlantic. And you see those guys from Atlantic, which is the new railhead of the left, that magazine, you see them on MSNBC and CNN all day long. They're laying a trap for President Trump. This is why it's incumbent upon the new Secretary of State. Marco Rubio is going to be and he's going to be hammered next week. We're going to bring it to you live in his hearing. They're going to be all over Marco on Ukraine. Okay, Remember those demons up there in the Senate, the Armed Services Committee, want us to be involved in perpetuity. So Ben Harm will give me an update because it was you that dug out of the Financial Times the buried lead that actually President Trump is kind of being tapped along to this saying, hey, maybe I can take six months. No, no, no. President Trump, President Trump, day one. We got to, you got to lay down the framework that we're going to extract ourselves from this. Are they going to stick it on you, sir? Ben Harnwell, thoughts?
Philip Patrick
Steve, good morning. Well, it's absolutely, as you say, it's a giant lobster trap that the neocons are laying for President Trump. And obviously what they want to do is they want to pin all the disaster, all the meat grind or all the huge waste of money. They want to pin this on Donald Trump rather than on the outgoing regime. And Donald Trump is the only person, really, because he's at the top of the apex. He's either going to play along and walk straight into that trap or he's going to turn it around in their face. I just want to quickly go back to something you mentioned, because it's absolutely true in your introduction. The Palisades, I think the conventional, the running total of damage is between 100, $150 billion right now. Of course, it's changing on a daily basis. Let's not forget that the Biden regime has given minimum $250 billion to Ukraine. So really, you could rebuild the Palisades twice over and still have change. And I'm not an advocate for saying that the federal government should come in and, and fulfill the role of private insurance. Not in the United States. It's not a collective country. But I'm making the point. They all, they all wave the flag. They all wave the Ukrainian flag.
Mike Lindell
This is the huge thing, is that when we get into these fights about the refinancing of and take care of your assurance, you got to hearken back to what these guys did. They spent like drunken Sailors. We sent a quarter of a trillion dollars, $250 billion to Ukraine already to what? To kill a million? To kill and wound a million, seven people and leave it like Dresden. That's what we've got. And you're going to see these big arguments. Money is not just tight, money is actually nonexistent. And these fights, we're going to have money. That's why the crimes in Ukraine are just, are monumental. What should, is we got to bolt, Ben. But what should Trump do in these first? What should he be thinking about right now? What is your advice? You've been on this for three years. What's your advice to the president, the.
Philip Patrick
President on day one, within the first 24 hours, should withdraw United States, that United States from all engagement in Ukraine and should say so explicitly. Shouldn't wait for negotiations, doesn't need to sit down with Putin, doesn't need to sit down with Zelensky. There is nothing in the supposed negotiations that the United States needs to fight for because it has no interests in being there. For three years, the Biden regime has never said what the United States interests are in that region of the country. Nothing to protect, nothing to defend. So Donald Trump on day one, first 24 hours should withdraw the United States. It's as simple as that. Because if he doesn't in six months time, he's either going to withdraw at that point and hand Zelensky over to Putin or he's going to look Putin in the eye and a tough man and keep the United States in the game. There is a no win situation for him. There's no uptake for, for Donald Trump in remaining in the game, first 24 hours, withdraw the United States and make sure the responsibility for this is pinned exactly where it belongs on Joe Biden. Steve, I'm on Ghetto at Harnwell on Ghetto all weekend.
Mike Lindell
Thank you, everybody. The engine room just informs me too that the Palisades crowd was a big Ukrainian crowd. Hey, I'm not, I know maybe it's a bad day to bring it up. Just saying you're going to have to face all these hard truths, folks. Hard truths. Ben, thank you. Up on Getter. Ben, stuff's amazing. I wanted to leave you with some great news coming out of California. There's a new book out, but more importantly, in the book there's a movement. John Gardner joins us now from Southern California. Manufacture Local how to rebuild the United States into a manufacturing superpower. John, we got about two minutes. I'm going to toss it to you. We're going to have you on a lot more as we go forward, but I wanted to leave people with you. And Philip Patrick, two upbeat messages at the end of a very trying week. Sir, what do you got?
John Gardner
Hi. Yeah, I wrote Manufacture Local how to Make America the Manufacturing Superpower of the World because I wanted people to understand President Trump's tariff strategy and how America paid all of its bills for the first 140 years of its existence with tariffs. There was no income tax, there's no sales tax, there's no estate tax. And slowly these taxes on the Internal Revenue Service started taxing Americans as they phased out the External Revenue Service that was created by our founding fathers. And we need to get. And President Trump wants to get us back to an external revenue service that does not target our citizens. I also want to destroy the myth of unilateral free trade and how that benefits our nation. Americans have been brainwashed by academics like Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell who all agree with some stuff they say, but they support unilateral free trade, meaning we do not tariff. America does not tariff while other nations tariff us at 100, 150%. And that makes no sense. And on the note of unilateral free trade, I want to ask about the moral component. Our supply chain is permeated with goods made by forced labor, slave labor, and yet there's no moral component to stop that and manufacture in America and have the dollar that people spend stay within the American ecosystem and help your neighbor give them a job and stay within America and build our country up beyond the national Security is threatened when a nation does not produce its own goods. Independent nation is only independent if it can produce its own goods. And 80% of global trade is based on goods, not services.
Mike Lindell
John, real quickly, where do people go? We'll have you back on. I want the concept to stick this weekend, folks. External revenue system, External Revenue Service, not an Internal Revenue Service. Look to the outside to make them pay. And it doesn't come. It doesn't increase the cost of goods. John, where they go, brother?
John Gardner
Just Google manufacture local. John Gardner. Just Google manufacture local. John Gardner will be on Amazon, Barnes and Nobles and Walmart.
Mike Lindell
Are you, are you on social media? Do you have a social media handle?
John Gardner
Ex. John Gardner. Voh. John Gardner. Voh.
Mike Lindell
Love you, brother. Good news coming out of Southern California right there. John Gardner, thank you. Look forward to having you back on.
John Gardner
Thanks, Steve. Thanks for having me.
Mike Lindell
External revenue. The External Revenue Service. You like that sound of that. You like the ring of that President Trump does he's got big, big ideas on trade and on tariffs. Okay, we're gonna take a short commercial break. Philip Patrick's gonna join me on the other side. Hey, you talk about supply chains. Jase Medical, Jace Medical, the guys that picked the lock on the Chinese Communist party supply chains of all your drugs, go to jacemedical.com, put in Bannon, get a discount. Do not let the CCP get between you and your medicine. How do you avoid that? The guys at Jace Medical, Dr. Sean Rollins and the team took care of it. Go check it out today. Boy Gardner's amazing external revenue service. I love that. It's got a great ring to it, right? Okay. Nicole Negrady is going to take us out with modern day holy war. I think that's what we're in the middle of. Philip Patrick joins us next. Birch Gold. We're going to talk capital markets, we're going to talk deficits. How's President Trump in that main line of work, the existential threat, the ticking time bomb of the national debt? President Trump's got a plan and he's going to be chopping wood to get us to it. Short commercial break will return in the war room. Just a moment.

Mike Lindell
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. Okay, welcome back. We're gonna do some capital markets and some geopolitics at the same time as we've got Philip Patrick from Birchgold. And folks, we do these as we told, we do these partnerships or these sponsorship agreements. One thing that we demand is obviously the company's gotta be the top and it's, it's field. But we Also wanna make sure that the audience gets full access to senior leadership and the feedback we've gotten over the last couple years. People just love dealing with Philip Patrick and his team. Not just he's making a lot of smart calls, but really the customer service and what they do to kind of bring you in and make sure you fully understand about precious metals, a hedge, everything. Philip and I really appreciate you. And for the audience, it may go in and out because Philip is really contacting us from his home, which is in one of the places under siege in la. Just give us an update. What has it been like? What was it? This thing's so apocalyptic. I have very familiar with, how do I say this play. Very familiar with real estate in the Palisades. I have a ton of friends. The great Johnny Khan at Breitbart Lots. I mean, Mo went to prep school at Marymount right there on Sunset across from ucla. I think half of her class for Palisades. She's got I think a half a dozen classmates that have either lost their families houses or their own houses, that they've grown up and kind of moved back there. The thing in Palisades, Philip, is so apocalyptic, it's almost a beggar belief. Tell us about your experience.
Nicole Shanahan
I mean, apocalyptic is the word to use. And this has really just been devastating. I've lived through a number of fires in Los Angeles but never seen the devastation. I personally like Mo, know a lot of people who have lost their homes, lost their livelihoods and it's just, just unbelievable to see. We've been fortunate. We were in the Hollywood Hills. The fire luckily started blowing in the other direction. We were evacuated for just a night. So we've personally been fortunate but just devastating. And the more we look into it, you know, obviously the disaster was, was, is a natural disaster, but it appears there's been some mismanagement. I'm also very concerned about insurances.
Mike Lindell
Right.
Nicole Shanahan
A lot of these people in high fire zones had their insur insurance cut a few weeks ago. They have access only to something called the California Fair Plan, which has about two and a half billion dollars in funding. We're looking at about $60 billion of damage and counting. So getting concerned whether these people are going to be reimbursed and get to rebuild those homes. So really tough. And my heart goes out to those that are really suffering.
Mike Lindell
No, it's look. It's a look. The natural disaster of it is biblical. But added on top of that and I think you're seeing this. I love California. Own a bunch of property down in the Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna beach area. I had locations up in the Palisades and then Manhattan beach and just moved south. Although one of my ex wives was still up in the Palisades. And the Palisade is such a quaint. I mean it's where Ronald Reagan moved in the 19, I think 1930s, 1940s. It's just such a quaint neighborhood. They've just been totally destroyed. PCH in Malibu with all those classic old restaurants and houses just all gone. It just beggars belief what happened. But it was on top of it. It's this man. I mean, it's left wing. We talk about it all the time at the federal level and at the international level. It's this intrusive, progressive left wing government that's intrusive, but doesn't really get anything done. Right. They're just in to get into your life. And I think there's gotta be some accountability here about where are the firemen, where are the police officers? You know, where were. There's no ding on the firemen or police officers. They just weren't deployed or there's not enough of them. And particularly where is the water, where's the equipment? I mean, it's just stunning. I sat there for an entire day watching here, mesmerized on cnn, MSNBC and literally at the Palisades. Then the guys later reinforce it never saw a fireman. And I'm saying this place is. They, they. The entire little town burned to the ground and nobody showed up. Philip, do we still have you? Yeah. Okay, tell you what, let's, let's try to come back. I'll continue on. Let's try to reboot Philip. It's going to be quite tough. He's still in a very active area. I mean, this is why Chris Hoare's satellite phone was so powerful on Birch Gold. One of the reasons I want to have Philip on here about the entire timing of this, he's heard yesterday from Jim Rickards. I've been talking about it. The world's essentially got roughly. And I'm rounding up here $300 trillion of debt at every level. Okay. At every level. You heard Rickard say yesterday about the, about the liquidity problems.
Stephen K. Bannon
Right.
Mike Lindell
We have liquidity issues. It's one of the reasons people are thinking about. Yeah, let's just do it by phone if that's easier. If, you know, we've had this liquidity issues. I keep saying the entire world's overleveraged, that we've taken Governor, government borrowing, but also, you know, by easier with less constraints. You've had corporate borrowing, you've had individual borrowing, you had credit card debt, you have mortgage debt. Everything's been a little loosey goosey. As rates start to go, you're essentially going to have the world's biggest margin call. Now, Jim Ricketts called it a liquidity crisis. I'm calling it essentially the same thing, but using a trading term, a margin call. What does that mean? That means when you have leverage and rates start going up, they either you got to pay more interest or they just roll that interest to your, you know, to your, what they call pic or payment in kind. You just add to the face amount. Either way, the lenders said come back and say, hey, look, you got to put a little something more in the deal. I need something underneath this. You need more, basically more equity. And that means cash money and people don't have it. And so that's when you have a. That's a margin call. The call says, hey, if you don't put some more cash into this deal, we can hold your position, but if you don't, we're going to blow you out of the position. We're just going to sell the debt or wherever you sell it at. That is what's going on now. This is why there's a method to our madness here at the Birch Gold guys. And we worked on this for a number of years. You can tell me when we get him on the phone, I'll pick him back up. We've worked on this with Philip Patrick over a number of years. That's one of the reasons we partnered with him to say, hey, look, let's do something different. Let's. Instead of talking about the instrumentality or the actual products, you guys, let's get people smart on the underpinnings of why gold is actually a hedgehog. And what I'm proudest about with Philip, I think we started working on this three years ago. And if you read the End of the Dollar Empire, it's pretty scary how accurate we've been. One of the reasons Philip and his team at Birch Gold are, I think, the most seasoned professionals I've ever met when it comes to precious metals and our team, whether it's Scott Besant, who's going to be the new Secretary of Treasury, or Peter Navarro is going to be special counsel to the President for trade and manufacturing, or people like, you know, Jason Trenard or Dave Brat, you know, Cortez in the old days, EJ And Tony and A couple of those guys may see positions also in the government. We've done a pretty good job in the macro with Philip and that's what we're talking now. But you got to understand this idea of the, in the end of the dollar empire of modern monetary theory because this was the idea that kind of drove all this. So go right now to birchgold.com Bennett. You get all the series free. We put the information out for free. And you can get that. You can also talk to Philip and his team, which I strongly recommend you do. You can talk to them about what I call the instrumentality of how you get into precious metals. A couple of easy ways are your IRA or 401ks. They've got all kind of tax deferred or tax free ways to do that. So we're going to give you the macro information for free. They'll give you all the other information for free. But you build a relationship with them and you'll know more. And look, gold's been on a tear for the last couple of years, but you should think of it as a hedgehog against times of trouble. Philip, I'm talking about. Thank you for joining us for phone and Philip is in the, in the Hollywood Hills area. So that's still, they're still under, you know, kind of assault and they won't really be up on telecommunications for a while. But join us by phone. Philip, you know, Rickards was on the other day. We talked about this global liquidity as we're seeing the ten year treasury get to five. We're seeing the, we're seeing that the guilt, the guilt is literally blowing up. It's pretending a liquidity problem, maybe even a liquidity crisis that I say may end up being the world's greatest margin call. Walk me through the thinking over at Birchgold.
Jim Rickards
Look, the problems are not going away at all. Janet Yellen gave an interview recently on her way out saying it's very important that we are taking government deficits seriously with which quite frankly was a slap in the face after she'd added $8 trillion to the national debt. But the premise is there, right? We are in a very, very tough position. We have a world running away from the US dollar. We have huge deficits, about $2 trillion annually. And the problem is in situations like this with debt growth on the back of higher financing costs, it just starts to compound the problem. We've got a Federal Reserve now that are saying fire. The employment numbers coming out yesterday were positive, which doesn't bode well for Trump's supply side growth environment. But I'm getting more and more concerned right when debt costs start to go up like this, governments have to issue more debt to pay for it. Currencies weaken and ultimately sometimes collapse completely. I'm getting more and more concerned of the sort of challenge in front of Trump and Besson when it comes to balancing the books. I think to do so without touching Social Security or defense spending, which they've already said they won't, is going to be very tough. So ultimately it leaves us in a position with higher interest rates across the board. Higher rates means reduced economic activity and is just going to make the job very, very difficult. Now, I've said before and I'll say it again, we haven't got a better team to push. But it's a very tough situation that we've inherited. And I think people need to start looking at ways, as you mention before, to diversify out. Right. Just make sure we have a measure of a hedge in place. Precious metals have provided that hedge, as you say, many times for thousands of years. But I think in climates like this specifically, they're very conducive for the problems we have. And this isn't a case of people dumping all of the dollars they have but having a measure of insurance. And there isn't a better one than, than precious metals for the problems that we have.
Mike Lindell
You know, one of the things that concerns me, you know, Scott was a regular on the show and now he's secretary of treasury or he'll be, you know, his hearing will be next week. He'll be confirmed pretty quickly. It's already and correct me if I'm wrong, it's $7 trillion we already know has to be refinanced. This is not, I'm pretty sure it's not the new issues that have to happen with the new deficit. And we're still going at a trillion dollars every hundred days. I mean, God bless Doge and God bless Russ. Voted OMB in this appropriations process, but it's kind of baked in when you have a $900 billion NDA for national defense authorization for the military budget. I'm sure cuts are going to come. I'm not so sure they're going to be the scale or as quickly as people are hoping with $7 trillion it has to be refinanced in this coming calendar year by Besson and Treasury. What does that mean for precious metals?
Jim Rickards
Look, I think they say every cloud has a silver lining. And I think it does obviously bode well for precious metals because it doesn't bode well for the economy or for the dollar longer term, but it's just a colossal problem. We have a liquidity crisis. The sheer quantity of short term debt Janet Yellen issued towards the end of her tenure present a big problem for Besson and he has to roll over a huge amount of short term debt essentially on day one. And it's going to get expensive and it's going to compound the problem. And I tend to agree with you. Look, I'm excited by Doge. I think it's something we need. Cutting $2 trillion though is going to be an impossibility. I just don't see how they do it, particularly if they have to leave defense spending and Social Security alone, which they're pledging to do. So. So I think we're going to continue to run deficits. The hope is that Doge can offset at least the tax cuts and not increase the deficit. But then we really need to focus on growing the economy and doing it in a very, very quick manner. But the problem is, one of the challenges that the new administration is facing, at least from a market perspective, is essentially that a lot of the good work that they could do has already been priced in before they've shown up. Right. Right after the election we saw the dollar index.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. We got Philip Patrick on the phone, can't get him up on Skype. And the reason is he's in a still a damaged part of la. Philip, I want you to continue, give me a minute or two on that because it's quite important. When we talk about this global liquidity crisis that's leading to a margin call, it's going to be very disruptive to the economy. President Trump is taking on a situation in the economy that's worse than the deportation of the 15 million and worse than the, than trying to stop the Kinect part of the Third World War. And those are both tasks that would take up any administrations all the time. This is the most important and the toughest.
Jim Rickards
Philip PATRICK yeah, I agree vehemently. I mean, I've said before, President Trump has to be a patriot because this is the toughest job arguably in history given to a president certainly from an economic standpoint, from a geopolitical standpoint, I don't think there is, like I said, a better man to take it on. But the level of the challenge in front is, quite frankly, unfathomable. Like I said in sort of prior to the break, I think from a market standpoint, there are challenges. A lot of the growth has been priced in already, which means curbing spending is going to be, I think, the only way to get out of it. And that's going to be a tough job to do. So excited for the year because I think continuing how we have been for the last four years was an impossibility with creative destruction, which is what's going to be required to get us out of this mess. There's going to be a level of excitement, but the job in front of President Trump and the team is very, very tough, to say the least.
Mike Lindell
Philip we've done this partnership over the last couple of years and done the end of the dollar empire and put all this free information. But I want people specifically they can get the free know where they go. They're doing a great job of studying and learning up on it. I want to make sure people know how they actually get a relationship and get to know you and your team there so they can start to think through, hey, maybe precious metals is right for me. What instrument do I do it and how do I get involved? Where do I do it? They got a million one questions. How do they engage with your, how do they engage with your team?
Jim Rickards
I mean, look, the first thing to do is reach out and get the information. Two ways to do that. One is birchgold.com bertgold.com Bannon for those who prefer text, very simple text Bannon to 989-898- Bannon to 989-898 that will get them access to the end of the Dollar Empire series. The Most recent volume, volume 6 is now out on modern monetary theory. I don't think there is a topic more current than that today. I think everybody should read all volum and certainly the new one, volume six. From there they have access to a free information guide on how and why to invest in precious metals as well as an add on on why to invest in precious metals under a Trump administration specifically. From there they'll have access to myself and a lot of people like myself that are there to guide through, answer any questions and sort of make make people comfortable. So get the information, start there, get reading and we'll be here to support from there.
Mike Lindell
So I can tell you, you know, starting next week, we're going to be doing all these specials every day about confirmations, about the executive orders getting ready for the jumping off point, really a week from Monday, which will be the 20th of January in the year of our Lord 2025, where President Trump take President Trump takes the oath and we get on with it. But the one thing I can tell you, if you look at the three big lines of work, it's nothing but turbulence. President Trump is the steady hand that's going to get us through this. But fasten your seatbelts because it's going to get quite bumpy. And that's why you need to talk to the guys at Birchgold now. You need to talk to the men and women over there. Start to build your relationships. Right now the simple way to do is text Bannon and 989-898 or go to the site birchgold.com you get the end of the Dollar Empire. You can also they have free brochures, all of it free on, you know, 401ks, IRAs, tax deferred instruments, the different ways you can get involved. But do it today and talk to the guys at Birchgold, get a personal relationship, make sure you understand this and learn why gold has been a hedge for 5,000 years of man's recorded history. Philip, people want to know already in the chat you're going to be okay, you and the family. And I know you recently married. I guess you're showing your bride the tougher side of living in la, right? Oh, by the way, we got hurricanes, floods and we got fire too. So really appreciate you doing this. What's your social media people can Go. Follow you.
Jim Rickards

Mike Lindell
Thank you, Philip. Appreciate you.
Jim Rickards
Okay.
Mike Lindell
Philip, Patrick and the team at Birchgold, you know, in everything we're trying to do now is try to build your intellectual infrastructure so that when you go into these fights and kind of go into combat and you know, we're calling here and you're doing this, you're putting pressure on this that you always kind of keep in back your mind, hey, what's the idea that's driving this? That's one of the things I'm proudest about the show is that when I first started doing this, even. Even at Breitbart radio a little bit, but much more in the war room started doing a lot of capital markets and finance and economics. You know, so many people in the business said bannon, what are you doing? This is snooze fest. People don't understand any of this thing. I said, I don't know, let's give it some time. And the audience, you guys have loved it. Why it shows you how the way the world works. At the end of the day, you know, we're in a spiritual war. And I know our army, the awakened, understands that. But that war manifests itself in the material world. When you're dealing the imperial capital, you got to come with the right elements. But, man, it's all about money and power. Okay. Birchgold.com really proud to have those guys. And listen, whether you can do it today, whether you have money to invest today, right? Or set aside, find out about gold and find out why it's been a hedge very important. That's why the. That's why the team at Birch gold so good. Birchgold.com forward/band and Philip Pack your squad. The right stuff takes us out on a Saturday. Next week gonna be crazy. I'm gonna be up on social media the entire weekend. We're kicking off with massive shows all next week. You want the inside. So, Scoop, you want to know where this thing's really heading. In fact, you want to know where it's heading 2, 3 weeks, months in advance. That's the war room. You all brought this victory. It was on your shoulders. Arrested. President Trump needed you to have his back and you did. You know why Donald John Trump and the war room posse and the MAGA movement, they got the right stuff. We'll see you. We're going to leave you here now. We'll see you back here at 10am Eastern Standard Time Monday morning.

I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money in our bank accounts. First, think back to 9 11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act. This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet. Now Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times best selling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level. In fact, some of the guests I've had on the War room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move. If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote maga, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts. I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning. Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money. Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past. Go to rickardswarroom.com that's rickardswarroom.com now to see the video.

Episode Summary: Bannon's War Room - Episode 4188: Chaos Abroad And Manufacturing Local
Release Date: January 11, 2025
Host: Stephen K. Bannon
Description: In Episode 4188 of Bannon's War Room, host Stephen K. Bannon delves into the tumultuous global and domestic landscape, examining the interplay between international conflicts, economic instability, and the urgent need to revitalize American manufacturing. Joined by notable guests like Mike Lindell, John Gardner, Ben Harnwell, Philip Patrick, and Jim Rickards, the episode offers a comprehensive analysis of current crises and strategic responses aimed at safeguarding and advancing national interests.
Steve Bannon opens the episode with a stark warning about the declining state of current political regimes:
"This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people." (00:02)
Mike Lindell echoes the sentiment, highlighting the disenchantment among Christians and disdain for media deception:
"Christians not got a free shot." (00:11)
"The people have had a belly full of it." (00:16)
The discussion underscores a pervasive distrust in media narratives and institutional integrity, setting the tone for the episode's exploration of systemic challenges.
A significant portion of the episode focuses on the devastating fires in California, particularly the destruction in Pacific Palisades. Steve Bannon draws historical parallels to the 1906 San Francisco fire, emphasizing the potential economic fallout:
"This will be monumentally worse. ... Why is the country of 30 people making $32,000 a year bailing out some of the wealthier sections like Holmby Hills or Beverly Hills?" (00:43)
Phil Harnwell contributes by expressing concern over the financial implications:
"It's going to bankrupt that insurance situation out there where you can't get the assurance you need for the price of these houses." (00:43)
Philip Patrick later expands on the economic strain, criticizing federal responses and insurance inadequacies:
"These people in high fire zones had their insurance cut a few weeks ago. We're looking at about $60 billion of damage and counting." (31:42)
The conversation highlights perceived governmental mismanagement and the disproportionate financial burdens placed on ordinary Americans versus affluent neighborhoods.
Steve Bannon outlines an intense week of political actions termed "Days of Thunder," aiming to flood media channels with scheduled hearings and confirmations:
"Next week could have a pretty good team. ... Days of Thunder are going to start a little early because I'm sure there's going to be some fireworks." (01:22)
The plan includes:
Bannon emphasizes the necessity of overwhelming the opposition with a barrage of political actions to preempt and counteract Democratic strategies:
"The Democrats are out there plotting and planning. ... We're gonna be the head of the curve on that." (01:22)
The episode delves deep into the United States' escalating national debt and the looming liquidity crisis. Jim Rickards, a guest expert, provides an in-depth analysis:
"We have a world running away from the US dollar. We have huge deficits, about $2 trillion annually." (38:25)
Rickards explains the compounded problems arising from debt growth and rising financing costs:
"Currencies weaken and ultimately sometimes collapse completely." (39:15)
Mike Lindell adds urgency, comparing the situation to a global margin call:
"We're seeing the world's biggest margin call. ... What does that mean for precious metals?" (40:46)
The discourse positions precious metals, especially gold, as essential hedges against economic instability, urging listeners to consider diversifying their investments.
John Gardner, author of "Manufacture Local: How to Make America the Manufacturing Superpower of the World," presents a compelling case for revitalizing American manufacturing through strategic tariff policies:
"President Trump's tariff strategy ... we need to get back to an external revenue service that does not target our citizens." (24:24)
Gardner critiques the fallacy of unilateral free trade and emphasizes the ethical imperative to eliminate supply chains reliant on forced or slave labor:
"Our supply chain is permeated with goods made by forced labor, slave labor, and yet there's no moral component to stop that and manufacture in America." (24:24)
He advocates for tariffs as a means to bolster domestic industries, ensure national security through independent production capabilities, and retain financial resources within the American economy.
Philip Patrick of Birch Gold and Jim Rickards discuss actionable strategies to mitigate the impacts of the impending liquidity crisis and geopolitical tensions:
"President Trump on day one, within the first 24 hours, should withdraw United States from all engagement in Ukraine." (22:30) – Philip Patrick
Rickards elaborates on the necessity of diversifying investments:
"Just make sure we have a measure of a hedge in place. And there isn't a better one than precious metals for the problems that we have." (34:33)
The conversation emphasizes the critical need for financial preparedness, advocating for investments in precious metals as a safeguard against economic volatility and policy-induced uncertainties.
The hosts critically analyze the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, attributing its protraction to political maneuvering and strategic traps set by adversaries:
"They want President Trump to own this war and own the catastrophe." (20:33) – Philip Patrick
Mike Lindell ties the conflict to broader economic implications, questioning the sustainability of continued U.S. involvement:
"We sent a quarter of a trillion dollars, $250 billion to Ukraine already to what? To kill a million?" (21:49)
This segment underscores the belief that prolonged involvement in foreign conflicts exacerbates national debt and diverts resources from domestic necessities.
As the episode concludes, Steve Bannon and Mike Lindell reiterate the urgency of addressing both domestic manufacturing decline and global economic instability. They encourage listeners to engage with resources like Birch Gold for investment guidance and to stay informed through upcoming political actions.
"We're going to do something different. Let's get people smart on the underpinnings of why gold is actually a hedge." (38:25) – Steve Bannon
The hosts emphasize the importance of proactive measures in both political activism and financial planning to navigate the anticipated challenges ahead.
