This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. You're just not got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but.
Mike Lindell
You'Re not going to stop it.

War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Bann. Saturday, 23rd November, year of Lord 2024. So much has happened. Transition in Mar a Lago in West Palm Beach. Transition office in West Palm Beach. Of course, Mar a Lago over in the Palm beach side is kind of the epicenter where President Trump is rolling, making decisions. Got all, I think a lot of the interviews are being actually handled over the West Palm beach transition office. Also up here in Washington D.C. a lot of the folks have come back here and they're working on stuff. More be coming up as they start to lay the groundwork for President Trump to return to the Imperial capital in probably third week of January. Right. Get here a couple days in advance and already and this is why you cannot just don't sit there and say, hey, we can go on vacation and just think it's going to the 20th of January. They're doing everything in their power right now to Trump proof, Trump proof, Trump proof the government, Trump proof legislation, Trump proof the courts, all of it. And you've got warriors are fighting this every day. So just remember the first order of business is make sure, first do no harm. Make sure they can't do we limit or cauterize the harm that they're trying to do. Like I said, I don't have a problem with people who have different philosophies of politics. That's just human nature. I have a problem with these people are evil and want to destroy our republic and turn it into something. You saw what they tried to turn it into. Look at what they tried to do during the pandemic with Fauci and all those guys. Look what they tried to do when they got power. Just don't have Steve Bannon go yammering on, yelling at your microphone. Just look at what they were doing in life. Very much like The Bolsheviks. Remember the reason they wanted to come after the war in posse and the reason they wanted to come after the MAGA movement. Remember they had the billboards down in Georgia. If you see anything, it was like the lives of others. What they did the movie about East Germany and the Stasi. This is what they try to do. They go right back to the Marxist playbook. This is what the show trials. The show trials of Trump were just like the Moscow show trials in the 1930s. Totally performative, not justice. Remember the guy that stripped him of the company? Remember that fiasco? Remember Mershon? Remember the things of the juries? Just go back. Always make sure that's emblazoned into your mind. Never forget that. We can't forget it. They say, oh, these guys are all vengeance and retribution. No, no, no, no. Stop, stop. You put people in bankruptcy, you got people in jail, you got people in prison. But it's not about that because we never ran and left the country. We never said, we're going to give up in the country. We're not going to surrender and give the country no, we're going to fight, take this thing back and set things right. Remember that great scene in the Outlaw Josie Wales, where Josie Wales sitting there, kids house been burned, little boy's been murdered, wife has been raped and murdered in the kind of renegades that helped come and put the unit. It was all guerrilla warfare there, right? The guys that come up and save him, they say, hey, we're going to go down and set things right. That's President Trump. He's going to come and set things right. He needs a team around him. He's putting together a pretty impressive team, Pretty impressive team. And I think you're going to see not just the deconstruction of the administrative state. And it's not, oh, they're trying to gum up the government. They're trying to destroy the government. No, conservatives. For years and years, decades and decades and decades, we've heard this talk. And I heard it, man, when I first started getting involved in politics, I'm a limited government Republican. I'm for a limited government. Limited government. And what happened under Republican administrations, the government metastasis. More under Democrats. Think about it. I think President Trump's last budget was four and a half trillion dollars. The last one he put up, we're at 6, 6.5 that three and a half dollars. What do we do differently in. What are we doing differently in November of 2024 that we didn't do in 19? I realized some of the entitlements are up. I got that. But just set that off aside. But it's a 3.5 dollars different. What are we doing differently? Oh, we're spending more on the American empire. We're giving foreign countries more. Maybe not even direct aid, but militarily, they're all protectorates. Europe's a protectorate, the Gulf's a protectorate, Israel's a protectorate. The South China Sea around that, they're all protectorates. Up there in Japan and Korea, they're protectorates. Gotta be allies. Can't be a protectorate. We're not an empire. Never intended to be in our power. And President Trump's going to set that. But understanding this is why in taking down, deconstructing the administrative state and destroying the deep state, you have to seize control of the institutions. In fact, if we can play that, if we get that, because I got to get Philip Patrick, everything where they're saying they're in a tough position. Look, here's where we jammed them up and they admitted they're defenders of the system. And the system's not working. Particularly the system's not working for masses of American citizen voters, particularly people that are black and Hispanic, the white working class, the lower middle class. It's not working. The system's not working. So they're in there. We've jammed them up. They're in a position to defend the institutions that are not working. They are in position to defend a system that's not working. They are defending the corruption in incompetence, in malfeasance. That is the way you have a 1932 realignment and govern for 50 years. If you deliver. And this is. President Trump is sending a very strong signal. I'm putting practical people in here. This is not about retribution. All they're saying here is all retribution, retribution, retribution. The retribution is success in putting a stamp on this as the age of Trump. You know what really burns their souls over there at MSNBC and the New York Times? They're all going to be forgotten about in history. Morning, Mika. Morning Joe. They'll all be. All be forgotten, except for scholars of the era, like the age. It's called the Age of Jackson. Before the Civil War, the age of Jackson. Schlesinger. Arthur Schlesinger in his books, defined it. And if you study that as I have, you'll see the characters in there. And it's fascinating. Fascinating time of American history. But if you're not a student of it, it's Jackson. Everybody else has forgotten because people only have so much they can, you know, kind of hold in their heads what upsets Joe Scarborough and what upsets all these people in msme, Rachel Maddow, the burning hatred they have. You know why they hate him? Because he's going to be remembered and they don't think he's worthy. He didn't come out of the credential class, although he's got a degree from Wharton and it's only the next to Harvard. President Trump, the second best school of finance and business in the country. But when you're number two, not too shabby. Head of Stanford, head of University of Chicago, head of mit, pretty good company. He's credentialed enough, but he's not part of that. He connects with the American people. And this is why they hate him. Because this will be known as the age of Trump. Now we have to close the deal. He closed the deal because the best closer ever on the 2024 election, against long odds, longer odds than 16. Here's why. In 16, we snuck up on them. They didn't take us seriously. They mock and ridicule us every day. We kind of went around and they just, it was all about their. They were focused on a landslide. They were focused on a mandate, not on winning. We were focused on winning and barely scraping by. How we're going to do it, how are we going to get to 270? What do we have to do? No money. We had a man, a message and a plane. That's what we had. And self organizing, grassroots because didn't even have a lot of money put into every penny we had. We put into the get out the vote, but we didn't have a lot of pennies. 2024 is different. For four years, for four years they planned and plotted to stop him and destroy him. And through destroying him, destroy his movement, the MAGA movement. Yep. Very different. And not only beat him, he closed the deal and won in a landslide and got a mandate. They say no, he didn't know. Mandate, no. Sell that to the America you're trying to sell. Trump didn't get a mandate. Corporate media is about. You have as much success as selling the politics of joy. Can you imagine the arrogance? And this is why I said the only thing I put out of Danbury Prison was on the 26th where Raheem helped me with that statement that victory is at hand. And I said, hey, she couldn't sell the politics of joy. Couldn't sell it. So now she's pivoted to we're all garbage and Nazis and Fascists not going to sell that because people are looking, hey, I'm not a fascist. I don't even know that much about Trump, but I know one thing. He's a leader and better in this crowd. And what they've done, you know, with all the cultural stuff they're doing, the DEI and the transgender and all that, man, that madness, my kids, I don't want that forced down the throats of my kids. And, oh, by the way, prices have exploded. I can't afford anything. You got to take a second job. And we're fighting wars all over the world and not exactly winning because, quote, unquote, the Ukrainians got a million dead. And the country, the parts of the country look like Dresden in 1945. I'm not calling that winning. Right. That's what they rejected. He got a mandate. And what irks them and the credential class and all those PhDs and all those people, Weissman, Weissman. And all they. We know what they hate. They hate that this is the age of Trump. And the reason it's the age of Trump is he had the moral courage to come back. One of the most important things in the history of this country. This is why down through the ages, why do you think the story of General Cincinnatus Cincinnatus coming back from the plow in Rome, it had such a powerful thing that a guy would retire when the Republic was in jeopardy and Rome was in jeopardy and the citizens were in jeopardy. He would come back from retirement to defeat the enemy again and then walk away again. That's Trump. Trump went to Mar A Lago. He could have stayed in Mar A Lago. None of the bad stuff would have happened. But he understands American history deeper than them, and that's what irks them. They say he's uneducated, he's crude, he's barbaric. Well, hey, give me some of that crude, barbaric and uneducated. I'll take a. I'll go long that and I'll short you. No politician in the history of this country, except for General Washington at the founding and President Lincoln at the second founding, have had the moral courage, the moral courage of Donald Trump, those two. And Lincoln ended with an assassin's bullet, point blank, back of the head. And Trump, they tried to get in the back of the head, too. And only through divine Providence. Only through divine Providence. Only through divine providence, he turned that head in that second, or you would have seen on national TV just like President Kennedy having his head blown off. You were Seen it. And then the physical courage he displayed. Who does that? Who does that? Who? In the moment when the Secret Service puts you down, they want you to crawl off the stage because they got 10 guys on you. You stand up and you put that fist up, Fight, fight, fight. With the blood coming down your head and the American flag in the background, you don't think that's providential. You merge that physical courage with moral courage is unstoppable. You look at these young men, they may not understand the geopolitics of this and they may not understand the marginal tax rates and all that. They don't need to. They go, hey, that guy's a leader. He wants to stop wars and he wants to put more money in my pocket and give me a better job, get me have access to a better job. I'm all in this. What Trump understands is, keep it simple, but deliver. And now we're in the delivery phase, and they're just not going to sit there and go, oh, how can we help? How can we help? How can we help? How can we help the American citizens? How can we help this country? How can we put America first? Yes, President Trump's right. Upon further review, he's right, he's correct. How can we help? Uh, nope, it's not that. It's not going to be that. You know that. That's why you're so important. That's where he's such an important part of the story. And don't take it from me, but check American history. No group of average citizens have ever had the impact you've had. Ever had the impact you've had, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. You are the vanguard of this movement. You are. President Trump's the hardest core of the hardcore supporters. You're what we call, in revolutionary terms, a cadre. That's what the Warren Posse, it's a cadre. It thinks through, it weighs and measures, makes sure it understands it, and then it goes to action, uses its agency. Like he used his agency to bend the arc of history, to bend it, to bend it at his will. And that is quite rare. This is what we call Hagel calls world historical figures. That's what Trump is. That's what. They hate him. That's what Scarborough hates him. People hate him. Mika, she knows her dad was one of the smartest guys in the country. They hate him because they understand he's a world historical figure, that his back is covered and protected by a populist movement of dedicated American patriots. Short break. Could you be.
Mike Lindell

Vote.
Ali Velshi
He's been chosen to return. This was his old job under the first Trump administration as the director of the Office of Management and Budget. It's an important position. It's also a big red flag about what this administration's plans are. Give me a sense of this guy and how he could help achieve upending the federal government.
Unknown
Well, I think upending is a good word, right? The portion of Project 2025 that votes chapter is in talks about taking back, seizing the reins of the executive branch. This is clearly an effort to expand this notion that we should have a powerful president who overrides the federal agencies, which of course implies overriding the will of Congress, which sets much of the agenda for the federal agencies. So anyone who's not been in government might not be familiar with how powerful of an agency OMB is, but this is setting up Russell Vote in essence to be Trump's right hand man. His job will be to implement policy. It will be to use the purse strings to control people who don't want to fall in line. So in that sense he has the ability to be an enforcer. And this is someone who's deep in the policy aspects of Project 2025, which was written by sort of this loosely arranged colloquium of 100 different conservative groups all coming together to set forth a vision for a new America guided by Christian principles. As you mentioned, vote as a Christian nationalist. And there is a lot of this sort of simmering political appetite to change the direction of the country that he will have broad latitude to implement because of the powerful position he will hold if he's confirmed.
Stephen K. Bannon
That is a quite brilliant and very succinct summary. Good on you, msnbc, Ali Valchi and your team Lindell. People are. We're really jammed. I got Birch coming up, but people are hammering me on what's the sale over the weekend. Okay, thank you very much. When you tell me he's ready, normally he's ready. Okay, let's go to Tage. Brother, you get up pre dawn. You give me the big bags now. Warpath coffee. Warpath Coffee. The best coffee ever made. Tell us about it. Where do people go?

We roast it on a perforated drum, and that's how we get it. The nice caramelized beans. And then we don't even burn the tips. When you burn the tips of the beans, it's called tipping, and it still gives you that burnt, acidic taste. Our coffee is very smooth. You don't need any milk or any sugar. I just drink it straight black. You can add all that stuff you want. Right now, we're doing 20% off for the War Room Posse. Use promo code war room, and you'll get 20% off. And it's Warpath coffee. And it is incredible coffee. People love it. I mean, we're actually having a record month. This month, we've doubled all our roasts. So we're roasting a lot of coffee now. Just because we have such a high demand. We're constantly running out. So we're trying not to run out anymore because it literally flies off the shelf. Like, I was trying to time the roast so we'd always have fresh coffee in stock. But it sells so fast. We're just having to roast more and more and more, and it's still flying off the shelf. People love it. We got over 5,000 five star reviews, and the reviews just keep rolling in. It's incredible coffee. And I just want to thank the War Room posse and Steve Bannon and the War Room crew for supporting us and helping us out. And we're growing and we leaps and bounds, and it's amazing. And in next week, also for Black Friday, we're gonna have a big sale.

Stephen K. Bannon
What? What? What? What? A what, what? A frog, man. Love you, brother. Keep roasting. Get back in and keep roasting, sir. Okay, one thing I want you to read over the weekend. More homework assignments. I'll be putting more up on Getter and I think Grace will be putting more up. We got a lot of homework assignment. A lot of work to do this weekend, folks. Get ready, get your coffee. Get a big old pot of coffee next year. Thayer, I'm running out of time. Two minutes. Something big happened down in. Was it Peru? They met on the side and she laid out the tell. He's laid out the four red lines that America has to agree to so we can be co partners in world growth. The two that jump off the page is Taiwan and democracy. Nothing. Democracy. Give me your. You got a great article up. Where do people get it? What does it say?
Brad Thayer
Well, thanks, Steve. Great to join you. The article is up@war room.org Grace put it up just now so folks can go and look at it there. The argument is that Xi Jinping basically has had this theme during the Biden presidency of establishing red lines, telling Biden what he has to do. And those are, as you identified earlier, Steve, the Taiwan. That's the first red line US can't cross, according to Xi Jinping. Secondly, democracy and human rights, that is the US can't interfere in democracy and human rights in China. Thirdly, US can't interfere in the system, what they call the Chinese system. That is the US can't work to overthrow the Chinese Communist Party. And then fourth, lastly, the US can't interfere with China's rights, I.e. rights for advancement and development. So what Xi Jinping is doing is telling Biden what he has to do. Telling him is the China policy and setting the stage. Xi Jinping hopes to give a warning to the Trump administration about why it has to follow the same policies. Of course, all four of those red lines are outrageous. Of course. And Xi says if US doesn't follow them, we'll be in a cold war. Well, guess what? We already are in a cold war, as you said earlier. Of course, today we've been in a cold war since they came to power in 1949 and so they declared the Cold War. They've been fighting it. And it's time, as the first Trump administration did, is to begin to confront them in each of those areas. It's funny.
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, so we have the war here against the administrative deep state. But to set the frame geopolitically, it's the Chinese Communist Party and they've had a huge tell. They're afraid of their people because this democracy. They're afraid of their people Lao Beijing and they're afraid of the freedom of the Taiwanese people. This is where we're going to run the tables on these guys. Take down the CCP, Dr. Thayer, social media, but particularly where they go to get this article over the weekend. We'll have you back on Monday. Tuesday, sir.
Brad Thayer
Because they're illegitimate. They know they're illegitimate. And that's why the tell, as you said, is exactly that. Right. And so there's a new sheriff in town, Steve, as you've had that western theme, of course, with the Searchers and outlaw Josie Wales, there's a new sheriff in town and he's going to do things differently. I'm at Brad Theron X and Bradley Thayer at Getter and Truth. And the article is available at War Room. Thanks very much, Steve.
Stephen K. Bannon
Thank you, doctor. There's a new sheriff in town, Donald John Trump as John Wayne. So, Mike Lindell, War Room posse members are bugging me. What has Lillendale got for us today? Give us a deal. We're going to come in. We got the Birchgold guys. We're going to talk about capital markets in a moment. We want to know what you're doing for the posse today, brother.

They try to. They try to bankrupt. They try to bankrupt him. And the FBI came and grabbed his sons and intimidation Tina Peters in prison. She's in jail right now. They did horrible things to people, but there's no retribution because of that. That's kind of meaningless. It shows you what their actions are and how dangerous they are. But that's. I haven't met anybody, including me. I have no interest whatsoever in any retribution against any of the individuals that put me in prison. I don't. I have huge, huge, huge issues with the system that allowed that to happen. And particularly they were trying to put President Trump, a man that gave everything for his country, 20 years in prison. That's got. That'swe have to make sure this can never happen again ever. Because it's only going to stop when you make it stop. If you look at the people of President Trump signing up, there's some hammers in there. There are people here not going to back down. Just not going to back down. We have to make sure that the cadre. I know you'll never back down, but it's fixed. Bayonets in the trenches. We're going to go over the top in the trenches.

Stephen K. Bannon
Bannon War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. Okay, welcome back. One of my favorite people joins me, Philip Patrick. PHILIP and I want to go to Semaphore. This is from yesterday, but had some amazing pieces, two of them, and I want to connect the dots because they're kind of separated. One was announcement of really pretty dramatic drop in growth in Germany. And Germany is the engine of Europe and Europe is one of our largest trading partners and obviously an ally. We would like them to step up and be more of an ally and less of a protectorate because that's what the deep state and the Atlanticists want. Also, Ms. Goda over at Semaphore wrote a great piece that was something we've been talking about the first couple of weeks of the Trump second term going to hit some pretty big headwinds. And that really comes on two things. Philip. PATRICK is number one, the debt ceiling and number two is the is you got to pass a budget. Looks like they're going to they're going to do a CR they kick it through past from December 20th before Christmas past January 20th. So President Trump actually gets to take fiscal year 2025 and actually make his own budget. But obviously big cuts got to come out of that or somehow you've got to figure out how to not have a $2 trillion deficit. Your thoughts on the macro, and then I want to talk about how that flows through to financial instruments like hedges, like precious metals, sir.
Philip Patrick
Yeah, look, Trump doesn't have a lot of time at this point to put together a detailed budget. So as you say, I think they're likely going to fund with a continuing resolution. Essentially business as usual, keep the government running while Trump and his advisors have time to put together a detailed budget. That's quite common for incoming administrations. Right. Given the time crunch, the hope is longer term. Once a detailed budget comes out, they start funding through appropriations bills to give Congress the time and the information to make right decisions. But it's going to be very, very tough to cut the spending, as you and I have discussed. And I'm really interested to see what's going to come out of Doge and how many cutbacks can make. The reality is we're going to need to spend under the administration. Right. But spending in on itself is not bad. Right? Spending. When you're spending on bee friendly highways or jello wrestling in the Antarctic, that stuff doesn't help. But you can spend in a productive way that leads to economic growth and output. And that's what we will get with the Trump administration. But it's going to take time for that to materialize.
Stephen K. Bannon
What is, what's your assessment you're seeing when, when growth starts to drop in Germany, Europe's soon to follow. Because do you agree with me that, well, the Franco German project is the eu and the concept, folks, was that you had to have this thing after World War II because if you wanted to, you know, they'd fought, you know what in 1848, the Franco German War. Then you'd had World War I, then you had World War II, and East Germany was part of Russia after that controlled by the Bolsheviks, the Soviet Union. But if you wanted to basically take the cockpit of Europe and calm it down and make sure you didn't have any of these nationalist fights or what they said were nationalist fights, you basically had to have this general broad, both NATO and eu. But it was always set economically that Germany would still, and particularly after unification in the 90s, Germany would be the engine that drove the European economy. When Germany, for a whole host of bad reasons, principally I think driven by this, as Dave Walsh has told us time and again, this bizarre energy policy they've got for an industrial country, they're starting to slow growth pretty dramatically. How does that fit into your calculations when you look at the macro picture of, of the global economy and how does that affect precious metals?
Philip Patrick
I mean, this is a very good climate for precious metals. And we're seeing issues around the globe. And Germany is one example. The old sort of macro business model of cheap energy and easily accessible large export markets is no longer working for them. Basically. Germany's tried to remain an export powerhouse despite much higher social spending and borderline socialism, of course, and they can no longer compete or they're struggling to do so on the global scale. Germany has always been the engine of Europe. Energy policies, all renewable, is just not working for them. And their economy is struggling and the people now are speaking out. But that's part of the problem here. This is global in nature. This is a global debt problem. It is not just specific to us here in the United States. So for investors, it makes it much more complex. How do you bypass. It used to be that if we were worried about a recession domestically, we could look at emerging markets or European markets. The ability to do that, I think, is waning in this climate, given the global nature of the problem. But things are shifting on a global scale. There is a split now between east and west, and it's starting to escalate. We're seeing China now buddy up to Brazil and others and start to make more trade partnerships. And all of this is working against the dollar on the international st. So Trump has a very, very difficult job on his hands. We also now have, of course, recession alarm bells ringing. So I wouldn't be surprised if he got handed an official recession in his first few weeks in office. So it's going to be an uphill battle, to say the least.
Stephen K. Bannon
Do you think, is it your thought that Biden and these guys are doing as much as they can to this economy to make sure that President Trump takes over a bigger message than we already saw, sir.
Philip Patrick
Oh, without doubt.
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah.
Philip Patrick
I think we're going to start to see more and more and more of that. I saw an interview with yourself and Scott Besson when he was talking about how Yellen had spiked the fiscal cannons and basically moved a lot of debt to the short term to give him a ton to refinance on day one of the administration. That's just one example. But I think there's a lot more. Look at what's happening politically. Allowing the Ukrainians now to send missiles into Russian territory. That's something Trump's going to have to deal with. Walking in. Right. So Economically, politically, they're trying to make the job as tough as possible, which is an absurdity. Right. If you really care about the country, that's fine. You lost. You still want Trump to have the best shot possible. So I think it tells us who we've been dealing with. And politics has become tribal to a fault at this point.
Stephen K. Bannon
Did you get a sense in this? I guess it was APEC they had. I think it was in Peru or Chile where. And she then spent time. He just went to Brazil. We've covered that last night with this entire situation in Bolsonaro. Are the BRICs picking up? Because MSNBC has been all over us off the Vanity Fair piece, which was very favorable, very favorable to Birch. Gold talked about the end of the dollar empire. They were very impressed of how we put that out to a working class and middle class audience. It's one of the things I taught at Danbury to make sure people understood at the federal prison there, the classes I taught to make sure people understood the macroeconomics like we try to teach here, or at least the rudimentary elements of it. So people can kind of start to look at politics as some part of having money is a big part of this. Have the BRICs, have they lost a little momentum? Are they trying to regroup? They're going forward. I know the drop in purchasing power of the dollar continues kind of unabated. So where do you think they stand now?
Philip Patrick
I don't think they're really slowing course. There's more nations clambering to sign up to the BRICS agreement. The unit, their currency is starting to gather steam. We haven't seen quite the makeup of it. Looks like it's going to be 40% gold and the balance, a collection of their currencies. But we're starting to see trade agreements expand. Right. We talk about China and Brazil, but that's just one of a number. Russia have done the same, signed very similar agreements with Brazil, India and South Africa. Not only do these bilateral trade agreements completely bypass the US dollar as an intermediate currency, their efforts to create parallel supply chains, resistance to U.S. and NATO sanctions. So they're not only economic moves, but they're strategic moves as well. And they're gathering steam. And the more these happen, the more demand wanes for the dollar, longer term, the weaker our power globally becomes. And then as we've discussed, the weaker the longer term argument will start to become for the dollar as the global reserve currency. So it's not slowing down, it's gathering steam. And I think this is going to be a tough one for President Trump to deal with. Certainly on the political side, he's restricted by one more term. Right. And China, Russia, they are looking beyond the next election cycle in the US So they've gone through a lot of pain to start coming off a dollar based system. I don't see them jumping back in because Trump's in for another four years. So this is a problem I think will be on the horizon moving forward.
Stephen K. Bannon
What do you think, how do they view first of, how do you think they view economically the return of Trump and particularly maga with we have a very strong sense of economics, economic nationalism, tariffs, protectionism, building American jobs in American industry here. Want to make sure that American citizens have access to high value added manufacturing jobs. How is that perceived by particularly Western Europe and the ccp?
Philip Patrick
Listen, I don't think China would want a Trump presidency.
Stephen K. Bannon
Right.
Philip Patrick
He's trying to rebuild our manufacturing base. He's trying to address the trade imbalance. He's trying to do things that benefit us and not China. So I'm pretty sure Xi had every finger crossed for a camel win, but it hasn't gone their way. So like I've said before, Trump's policies are long term. They're designed to revitalize our manufacturing base and to build or rebuild the economy from the ground up. It's a good move for the nation longer term. Right. This is how we became the United States. It's how we became the global leader. But it's going to take time. I've said before it took 200 years to build the faith and credit needed to make the dollar the global reserve currency. And in four years, Biden almost decimated that entirely. So Trump has to rebuild. It's going to take time, but there isn't a better man for the job.
Stephen K. Bannon
Walk me through how do our. We've got a couple of minutes in the segment I want to hold you through. But how do folks, first off, the end of the dollar empire, I take you strongly recommend they get that first to chew on it. I know the Vanity Fair piece was amazingly complementary of it.
Philip Patrick
Oh, oh, yeah. And it's because it gives people a good historical understanding of the economy and how we got to the position we are today. And I know we're going to continue with those reports and sort of look into where we are. But like I said, having an understanding of economics in a broad sense, it allows people to make smart decisions. So I say start with those reports. Very easy to access. It's birchgold.com Bannon birchgold.com They are completely free. So people should read them, get educated and understand why we're in the position we are today. And from there they can get access to a free information kit as well on how and why to invest in precious metals. So birchgold.com Bannon get reading. It's important.

Stephen K. Bannon
Philip Patrick, thank you. Carbon Out Time on a Saturday to join us. Really appreciate your brother and the team over there, Birch Gold. Thank you.
Philip Patrick
Thank you, Steve. Enjoy your weekend.
Stephen K. Bannon
Thanks. Honest, we had some victories this week. We had some speed bumps from the judges to Matt Gaetz. I guess Matt Gaetz is the big story. But it may make some of the other nominees easier. I think what Brother Clark and others are working on, this recess concept will also make, because it's going to tell people, hey, we've got another alternative. If you don't, if you don't, if you don't approve these, or if you don't consent to President Trump's nominees. We have a real fight here. Of course, the city is kind of winding down over Thanksgiving. Normally you would think they would work through the entire time, I believe, but you can never trust these guys. That may give us a better understanding that they are going to take a CR and kick it into next year to let President Trump wrestle with the budget. And as I see this thing playing out, you've got the appropriations process, really the budget for fiscal year 2025, which we're already in. Already in. You've got the Doge process, which is Elon and Vivek. And that team they're putting together there is really advisors to omb, and you've got the OMB team that's going to be, I think, second to none. So you've got omb, you're going to have doge, and then you've got the appropriators and the staff up on Capitol Hill. I think all three of those will work. And as Semafort rightly puts out, it's just structurally, if you look at what's going on, you've got the debt ceiling we're going to hit. You then have to wrestle with this budget simultaneously, because I think best case, it's going to have a trillion dollar deficit. I just think we're so far down the road on some of this stuff. And quite frankly, cuts to Medicaid and cuts to defense, you know, people, a lot of people are talking about, a lot of people are throwing out kind of these wild ideas, a lot of which I think can be thought through and have some impact. But you got to be realistic about it. You could be looking at another trillion dollar deficit or north, how are you going to finance that? President Trump's going to bring all that together in an economic finance plan. At the same time, you're beginning the beginning stages of the deportation of the 10 million illegal alien invaders. Here at the war room, we would love to celebrate. And we told people, hey, we're so joyous for the victory because you guys helped deliver that. You were a major, major, major part of that. And in delivering that victory, we would love to be able to just go to the Caribbean and hang out for a month or like what, the defeated presidential candidate, the politics of joy. Go to California or Hawaii and just chill. But that's just not the nature of this beast, because it is a constant struggle. Look what's. How much has happened so far in this transition. And as I say, you have to seize these institutions the left is making. They're telling you every night on msnbc, the smart people over there, that, hey, we're kind of jammed in the corner because they've made us the institutional, the institutionalists in defending the system. And the system's got big problems and it's got some destructive parts to it. So these kind of, you know, the populist nationalists have us jammed up. Well, they're still fighting very hard to keep those institutions, particularly not just the elements of the administrative state, it's the elements of the deep state. And that's why this is a constant fight. And we're having victories, victory after victory. If you look at the team that President Trump is fielding, overall, the direction of this team is pretty impressive. Now, I'm the first to say, look, you lose Ahmad Gaetz, you take him off the chessboard, and obviously he's going to have a big role going forward. Right? A big role going forward. But you take him out of ag, which is going to be the driver of the action, the tip of the spear that kind of organized everything in the different departments. That's a hit, and you lose momentum. You also lose fire and you lose urgency. That's what we're trying to do here on the show to make sure it's urgent. We're focused on it. We're focused on what's important. We focus on signal, not noise. We're not going to, you know, chase shiny toys or have kind of fun stories that are the stories that are really ephemeral. And if you look back over the Fox news stuff over 20 years, how much of that stuff was important where they missed the real stuff, the real news, the undercurrents of money and power in an imperial capital. That's what we pride ourselves on, not wasting your time. And you appreciate it because you take it and it informs your agency, and your agency is very powerful. There has never been in this country a populist movement in this country that has empowered you and has impacted you. I mean, real impact, I think more demonstrably than even General Jackson's in the 1830s, William Jennings Bryan in the late 19th century, and whatever's come up since then, right now, Huey Long and other folks, this is MAGA is ascendant now. We have to prove that not only can we govern, we can govern smart. And we can start to take apart the Leviathan to make sure people have the blessings of liberty. Okay, have a great weekend. I'll be up online, Grace the entire team. We'll see you back here live in the war room at 10:00am Eastern Standard Time on Monday.

Podcast Summary: Bannon’s War Room
Episode 4079: 2025 The Most Important Year Of This Country
Release Date: November 23, 2024
In Episode 4079 of Bannon’s War Room, host Stephen K. Bannon delves into a comprehensive analysis of the political and economic landscape leading up to what he terms "2025 The Most Important Year Of This Country." The episode underscores the anticipated transition of power back to former President Donald Trump, the strategies to counteract the deep state, and the broader geopolitical implications involving global powers like China and the European Union.
Stephen K. Bannon begins by outlining the ongoing transition processes centered around Mar-a-Lago in West Palm Beach, highlighting it as the epicenter of President Trump's decision-making activities. He emphasizes the meticulous efforts being made to "Trump-proof" various facets of the government, including legislation and the judiciary.
"War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon...We're doing everything in our power right now to Trump-proof, Trump-proof, Trump-proof the government, Trump-proof legislation, Trump-proof the courts, all of it." [00:44]
Bannon draws historical parallels, comparing current strategies to those of the Bolsheviks and referencing the show trials of the 1930s Moscow era, suggesting that the current administration's actions mirror these oppressive tactics.
"They go right back to the Marxist playbook. This is what they try to do. They go right back to the Marxist playbook...the show trials of Trump were just like the Moscow show trials in the 1930s." [00:33]
A significant portion of the discussion revolves around dismantling the "deep state" and the administrative state that Bannon argues has long impeded conservative governance. He asserts that the current movement is not about retribution but about "success in putting a stamp on this as the age of Trump."
"The retribution is success in putting a stamp on this as the age of Trump." [01:23]
Bannon stresses the importance of taking control of institutions to effectively "take down the administrative state and the deep state," ensuring that the government's machinery works in favor of the American populace.
"We are going to take down the administrative state and we're going to take down the deep state and we're going to hold people accountable that did that." [25:44]
Discussing economic policies, Bannon highlights the stark differences between his vision and the current administration's approach. He criticizes the prior government's expansive spending, noting that President Trump intends to implement a more restrained and growth-oriented budget.
"We're doing a 3.5 dollars difference...Trump is going to set that." [03:15]
Philip Patrick from Birchgold joins the conversation, elaborating on the challenges of crafting a detailed budget under time constraints and the anticipated reliance on a continuing resolution to maintain government operations. He emphasizes the need for productive spending that fosters economic growth rather than mere expenditure.
"Spending in on itself is not bad...you can spend in a productive way that leads to economic growth and output." [32:26]
Bannon and Patrick discuss the potential hurdles, including a looming debt ceiling and the need for significant budget cuts to address a projected trillion-dollar deficit.
"We're going to have to wrestle with this budget simultaneously...how are you going to finance that?" [34:00]
The episode shifts focus to the broader global context, particularly the rising tensions with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the implications for the U.S. dollar's dominance. Bannon underscores the strategic moves by global powers to undermine the dollar empire, highlighting the expansion of the BRICS alliance and the creation of alternative trade agreements that bypass the U.S. dollar.
"BRICS...their efforts to create parallel supply chains, resistance to U.S. and NATO sanctions." [39:41]
Philip Patrick notes the increasing momentum of the BRICS nations in establishing a unit currency backed by gold, challenging the dollar's status as the global reserve currency.
"The unit, their currency is starting to gather steam...the weaker the dollar as the global reserve currency." [38:01]
Bannon connects these geopolitical shifts to domestic policies, arguing that President Trump's economic nationalism and protectionist measures will not only revitalize American manufacturing but also counteract China's economic strategies.
"Trump is trying to rebuild our manufacturing base...It's a good move for the nation longer term." [40:12]
Bannon reflects on the differences between the 2016 and 2024 election strategies, emphasizing a more organized and grassroots-focused approach in the latter. He criticizes the corporate media's portrayal of the Trump administration, suggesting that the media's inability to "sell the politics of joy" has hindered their narrative.
"They were focused on a landslide. They were focused on a mandate, not on winning." [20:08]
He also addresses the media's antagonism towards President Trump, asserting that his unique connection with the American people and his straightforward approach are what fuel the media's dislike.
"They hate him because he connects with the American people." [09:50]
Looking ahead, Bannon discusses the strategic initiatives poised to unfold under President Trump's leadership. He underscores the importance of maintaining momentum in dismantling institutional barriers and ensuring that the administration's policies are effectively implemented to benefit the American populace.
"President Trump's going to set that. Understanding this is why in taking down, deconstructing the administrative state and destroying the deep state, you have to seize control of the institutions." [02:10]
Bannon also highlights the importance of economic education and investment in precious metals as hedges against global economic instability, urging listeners to stay informed and proactive in safeguarding their financial futures.
"It's important to start with those reports...understanding why we're in the position we are today." [41:31]
Episode 4079 of Bannon’s War Room serves as a rallying call for supporters of President Trump, outlining the strategic roadmap for the impending administration. Stephen K. Bannon emphasizes the critical nature of 2025 as a pivotal year for the country, advocating for strong economic nationalism, dismantling entrenched governmental structures, and addressing global economic threats. Through passionate discourse and strategic insights, the episode aims to galvanize listeners into active participation in shaping America's future.
Stephen K. Bannon: "War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon...We're doing everything in our power right now to Trump-proof, Trump-proof, Trump-proof the government, Trump-proof legislation, Trump-proof the courts, all of it." [00:44]
Stephen K. Bannon: "They go right back to the Marxist playbook...the show trials of Trump were just like the Moscow show trials in the 1930s." [00:33]
