Episode Overview

This episode, hosted by Stephen K. Bannon, delves into what Bannon and his guests perceive as a quadruple crisis facing America—the unraveling of international order, domestic stability, the democratic system, and the state of political leadership (especially focusing on Donald Trump and opposition to him). The show intertwines critique of globalist entities (e.g., Davos/WEF), current immigration and law enforcement battles, the specter of a “color revolution” in America, and looming geopolitical conflict, particularly with China. Insights from policy thinkers and field reporters round out a densely packed edition, aiming at both education and a rallying cry for the MAGA-aligned audience.

Episode Flow and Tone

Bannon’s War Room delivers a blend of high-anxiety analysis and polemic, intended to alarm and galvanize the audience. The show weaves global geopolitics, financial critiques, and (hyperbolic) warnings about elite conspiracy into a coherent—if combative—message for its audience: America is at a breaking point, and only MAGA-aligned radicalism can resist the internal and external “color revolution” and preserve the Republic.

The episode is densely packed with references, warnings, and calls-to-arms, heavy on allusions to history (from Thucydides to Andrew Jackson), and rife with insider language (“War Room posse,” “controlled opposition”) and repeated calls for grassroots resistance. While guests like Nor Ben Laden contribute an international and slightly conspiratorial flair, the central gravity of the episode is Bannon’s own monologue-driven strategic critique.

---

For listeners new to War Room:
Expect a rapid-fire blend of crisis talk, deep-dive geopolitics, economic advice (strongly anti-elite), and a persistent call for audience activism, all delivered in a tone marrying urgency with disdain for “establishment” politics and globalist ideology.

Transcript

[A]

This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.

[B]

We are in the middle of at least four unravelings. The unraveling of the post war international order. The unraveling of domestic tranquility wherever Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents bring their jackboots. The further unraveling of the democratic order with attacks on the Fed independence, and excuse the pun, trumped up prosecutions of political opponents. Finally, the unraveling of President Trump's mind. End quote. All of that happening at once is shaping our future. As Robert Kagan writes in the Atlantic, quote, americans are entering the most dangerous world they have known since World War II, one that will make the Cold War look like child's play and the post Cold War world look like paradise.

[A]

Clearly, these are programs for every single New Yorker. These are not programs that are going to ask the immigration status of any one of the children. All of those children are New Yorkers. They should all be enrolled in Pre k and 3k, no matter where they were born or where they come from. And we are also proud to be a sanctuary city. What a sanctuary city means is that we have policies in place, policies that have existed for years in the city that deny ICE agents access into schools, hospitals, city properties, or even the properties of city contractors unless those ICE agents can present a judicial warrant signed by a judge.

[B]

No more Ha.

[A]

No more ice.

[C]

No more ice.

[A]

No more ice.

[C]

We witnessed was the collapse of the post World War II consensus.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

The very world that made possible American prosperity, the foundations that led Henry Lewis to declare the American century, all of that collapsed right in front of us. And I think it's really important for us to understand. Remember, Carney said something, he said a lot of things really important for the eggheads like me. He invoked Thucydides, he invoked Vaclav Havel. And he said, in invoking Havel, he said, we have been living within the lie, and we can no longer live within the lie. As a middle power, we need to understand that we are in a world where it's been defined by spheres of power and we have some bad actors here. And we have to understand our role, what we must do, given the values that animate us. And so the world that created American prosperity collapsing right in front of us, and the presumption on the part of Trump and others that the world will not move on. This is not a world that's in tatters because of the violence of World War II. India is not coming out of colonialism. China is not in darkness. The world is entirely different than the world that made The US A hegemon. And so part of what I saw there, in fact, I woke up in this amazing, I mean, in this deep anxiety, in this deep panic, thinking that how is it that the country is so arrogant that these people believe that they can say what they can. What Trump believes that he can say what he said and not think that people will go, huh? And move on. And then the last point, Stephanie, please. It's not just Trump. The American people elected him twice.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And so it's not just that he's not trustworthy.

[B]

Right.

[C]

We are not trustworthy.

[B]

European leaders need to take a note.

[A]

Out of Mark Carney's playbook.

[D]

Thank you.

[B]

And I say that because he has been quite comfortable, literally forcefully pushing back and using names. Some of the European leaders have tried to placate the president with flattery.

[A]

Right. Bringing him gifts and presents, avoiding contentious conversations in public.

[B]

And Prime Minister Carney, frankly, and the people of Canada understand uniquely how to.

[A]

If you do not fight fire with fire, essentially, when it comes to Donald Trump and his bluster and his aggressiveness.

[B]

He will try to take you down, for lack of a better point.

[A]

And so the European leaders, I think.

[B]

Are working on stealing their spines privately.

[A]

They have very rough words for the.

[B]

President, but they need to take a.

[A]

Page out of Mark Carney's book, Child. He was reading them down and standing up for the people.

[C]

So we need to understand what this is all about, in my view, and we talked about this before on another show, I think this whole immigration policy is driven by fears around the great replacement theory. I think ICE is the largest funded federal enforcement agency. It sure is. Because it's charged to make America white again. And until we understand, until we admit that white nationalists have captured the executive branch of the US Government, we won't understand what they're doing or we won't really fundamentally give an account of what we're seeing. And I think fundamentally they are drawing the lines between either you're with us on this issue or you're not. Renee Goode was an enemy. That's the thing. If you side with an America that is multiracial, that is multiethnic, and if you don't believe in their ideology, because this is existential for Stephen Miller, this is existential for these folk. And so it doesn't move by way of, as John Hyman would say, it doesn't move by the physics of traditional politics. He can be upside down on this issue all day long. It doesn't matter because it's existential, because these people Believe that America fundamentally must be a white republic. And either you're with that or you're against it.

[A]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot 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 you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA Media I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my.

[C]

Country, this country will be saved.

[A]

War room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. It's Saturday, the 24th of January, year of the Lord 2026. You often the engine room will text me or reach out to me during the cold opens, say, why are you doing this to this us? Why are you doing it to the audience? We can see in the live chat and we hear later from people watch. Why do you do this? Well, we have to do it. The color revolution that's being brought against this country and of course the geopolitical situation in the beginning of the kinetic part of the third World War, because that's where we are. A massive part of this is information warfare and its subset psychological warfare. Because remember in unrestricted warfare and unrestricted warfare just leads to outright warfare. It's economic warfare, it's psychological warfare, it's political warfare, it's information warfare, cyber warfare, all of it. And, and we try to give you the totality of that here in the war room so that you are a more informed citizen and you can use your agency to the utmost. We have a task and purpose here. The task and purpose is quite simple. To save this republic from people like you just heard and that cold open because that's the enemy. And they just say it right out loud. People say, well, why do you play so much? Msme cnc Net we don't need. You're going to have enough for the two hours or the hour, whatever, of, of people breaking that down and deconstructing it. But you need to hear it unvarnished. And I realize it's painful. Think how painful it is to curate that with our team. And that's why we always want to thank Denver, our crack Real America's Voice team and our great producers here, our great and I Might say young producers here at the war room that go through this and highlight. But you see, I mean, it's a war. And anybody's playing by the traditional politics like you see these guys on Capitol Hill, people come up and talk. And this is why in New Jersey, the guy running for sexuality, he got beaten by 14 points. This is why in Virginia, Youngkin with the vest and the, you know, happy I'm going to be your friend at your barbecue, that politics is dead. It's dead. That controlled opposition is what, is what the radical Democrats and the globalists want. They want those type of people in office. The same type of people this week that had to. If you look at the appropriations bill, we didn't get. There's so much we didn't get out there that's just woke and weaponized. And Russ vote commits that. Hey, we're coming back with, we're going to come back with rescissions and all that. I got it. But the reason happens. And even with President Trump as strong a leader as President Trump, there's just too much deal baggage. A Wall street term. There's too much deal baggage in the old Republican Party. And you know that, particularly those of you that have awakened and have knocked on doors and given money. And you sit there, now you listen to Fox, you go, man, I can't believe I believe this stuff. You listen to Karl Rove. I can't believe I believe it. They're still pushing. Karl Rove was on Fox. Are they pushing amnesty? Pushing amnesty. And this is why this insurrection. Last night they took over the airport in Minneapolis. This is only increasing. And people are saying, well, President Trump's getting very concerned about the optics. That's the new thing they've leaked to cnn. He's very concerned about the optics. Half measures will give you bad optics. Full measures will lead you to victory. And on this, we have to, we have to, we have to remove or set the conditions that they remove themselves. 12, 15 million people. That's what's so catastrophic about this. And they knew what they were doing at the time and they understood this to be a tractor pole. Go back to that speech I gave in Pinehurst back in 23, I think it was November 23rd. I said, hey, the convergence in the first, by summer of Trump's first year, the convergence of budget cuts on social services coupled with, wait for it, mass deportations will lead to a revolution in the streets because these people are not dumb. Now, they tried the no kings thing that flopped. But now they got, now they think they Got something. Now they think they got a hook. That's why it's ice constantly. It's ice. It's ice. It's ice Defun. Now, ICE was funded yesterday in the appropriation bill a couple of days ago. So they didn't want to take that fight, but they've taken the fight to the streets and this thing is getting more and more serious and more and more dangerous every day. I've been working with folks in Arizona. There's going to be there's an effort the attorney general there maes as radical she is. She's essentially giving permission for illegal alien invaders to use the stand what Stand my ground law. Stand your ground law to fire upon federal agents. ICE agents, she said. And she's not really backing down from it. There has to be consequences. I don't understand actually. I just don't understand this. Even as strapped as DOJ is, while we're not in rolling her up and indicting her right away because that's the type of thing that leads to ICE agents, to federal agents becoming hurt. This is why I had what Hayden Daniels on from the federals yesterday go through that piece and it skyrocketed as the number one piece in their site all day long because of the war room posse about Andrew Jackson and the Nullification act what of 1832. Strong parallels and President Trump's got to go full Andrew Jackson now. There are things happening all the time. President Trump just came out. How do I frame this? Let me think for a minute. Okay, here's how we we came out with the National Defense Strategy memo late last night and we've been going through it with Dr. Thayer and Captain Fennell and you know, Brian Kennedy, the committee of the present danger China Cleopas going to join us in a second and it doesn't quite parts of it don't quite get to the heart of the matter. Let me see. That's the polite way I can say it. But President Trump just came out with a tweet and just put Carney on notice and said, yo bro, you sign a deal with Xi that you partner with Xi and you want to start working with Xi, particularly on his currency and other things to try to reform Asia and or North America with Xi as a partner, that's going to have consequences. Number one, it's going to tear the social fabric. It's going to tear Canada apart. I just hope people are getting President Trump up to speed of the Canada we're dealing with with 25% of their population foreign born. I Hope people are getting up to speed on the what's the actual what's the reality of Canada? But Mark Carney, again, you saw this in Davos, is trying to be the spokesman. Okay, fine, we're going to Switzerland, nor bin Laden is going to join us. We're going to go to the Pacific. And Cleo Pascal massive victory so far in England about Diego Garcia, all next in the war room. Here's your host, stephen k. Banner. Let's go. I want to go to Todd Wood at Fort Bragg. Todd, you're there today at Airborne, the 82nd Airborne. Talk to us about these innovations. What's particularly for folks in the audience that have kids that have been either in Airborne today, going in Airborne or have been in airborne like mo was with the 101st. What do you got for us today?

[E]

Sure, Steve, this is the home of the 18th Airborne Corps, multiple divisions. And I spent a fascinating evening last night with members of academia, with the military and with industry. And, and they have a new center, the Joint Innovation Outpost, named after Airborne General Gavin from World War II, where they are literally putting stuff on a table and deciding. You remember the movie Apollo 13, where they throw a bunch of gear on the table and say, we gotta make something out of this. This is what they're doing to provide solutions to the warfighter in the field of threats that are changing real time. You know, like they gave us an example. They needed ammunition, frangible ammunition, to take out a bunch of drones in the air like a shotgun. They developed it in a period of weeks. This is what's going on. It's fascinating and it's good for the sons and daughters of your viewers who you've got a real military leadership here who's focused with Secretary Hexeth on solving the problems of the warfighter on the ground, not the defense contractors around Washington.

[D]

D.C.

[A]

They'Re really moving quickly. The 18th Airborne, as you talk to these guys, where do they see their primary where are they being called to duty? Is it going to be in hemispheric defense? Will it be in defense of Taiwan in the, in the island chains or the Middle East?

[E]

Well, they, they are saying we're ready to go anywhere. I mean, they're not picking the destination, but they're ready to go at 12 hours. This unit, this corps is America's rapid defense, you know, deployment force, rapid response force. And it's got multiple units ready to go. I'm here at the Airborne Museum at Fort Bragg. Fascinating place if you ever get the chance to go here. But I was really, you know, back to. Back to the trip to la where we visited defense contractors. I was really impressed with the speed and scale that they're bringing new weapon systems to the soldier, airman and marine in the field. And I think this needs to continue because we're in such a rapid development of technology from drones, cyber. You saw it down in Venezuela, that we have to stay ahead of the adversaries. And I think they're really focused on doing that and I think people should be proud about it.

[A]

A new. A new type of warfare. Todd, where do people go to get everything at cdm, where they finally follow you on social media.

[E]

CDM Press. Please put us in your daily scan. We've got news from all over the world. DMPRESS and EAL LTD Wood on X thank you very much, Steve.

[A]

Thanks. This tees me up. So the national defense, the defense part of it came out last night and maybe we'll take longer on Monday or Tuesday. Go through it. Dr. Thayer's going to join us for a few minutes, but I just want to make sure everybody understands something. We are. Right now, the Chinese Communist Party in the United States of America are heading down the path to a kinetic conflict in East Asia. Let me be blunt. Why do you think the Japanese prime minister is calling a snap election when she's riding high in the polls? Because the people in Japan understand this is coming. And part of what she's doing is even a bigger rearmament than what they've done in notifying the ccp. I mean, her language, remember President Trump had to back her off a little bit. The Taiwanese, the Philippines, the Filipinos, even in South Korea, as bad as that government is, the people in South Korea, the people in the indigenous nations around the South China Sea, and the infiltration and takeover by the Chinese Communist Party. You know, we sent Natalie over there. Her report, she came back to me was just. You can't believe the infiltration they've done in Southeast Asia, the Chinese Communist Party. But the re industrialization, what we've done on reindustrialization from the Department of War, what we've done on rare earths, the type of movements that we've made rapidly that are nothing short of stunning is because serious people understand that the Chinese Communist Party now understand the war. And posse knows that we understand that the Committee on the Present Danger and Lao Beijing, all of our Chinese audience understands this. The unrestricted warfare of the Chinese Communist Party is teeing up now to get ready for the kinetic phase. And you're having all kind of rumors come out and there's everything on the Internet about there's a, a coup. He's firing all kind of generals and generals are trying to come back to him. And who actually runs the show? I will tell you right now, I'm, I'm long. She. Because I think he's the power of the beer. I don't think there's been a military coup against him. I think he's a hammer and he's got control of it.

[B]

Now.

[A]

That may prove out to be wrong over time. My point, serious people in both countries are not dealing in happy talk. They're dealing in harsh realities of a great power struggle. This is why the Arctic, why think Greenland and Canada became so important so quickly? It's been bubbling up for years, but now you can't look away because of the great game of the 21st century in the Arctic, in the vulnerability of Carney, in these happy talk, politicians in Canada that have not put a nickel really into their strategic defense. Cleo Pascal, her brilliance in talking about the Central Pacific as a geo strategic pivot of the United States. If you had had Cleo Pascal in 1935 coming on radio and talking about that, trust me, you wouldn't have had Pearl Harbor. You would not have had Pearl Harbor. You would have been awakened, the country would have been awakened to the fact that, hey, there's something brewing out there that's bad. This situation in the, in the, in the Chagos or Diego Garcia. Remember we first started talking about this months and months ago. People thought, what, what are they wasting their time about this? What is Bennett talking about? Some atoll in the Indian Ocean? What the hell is he talking about? All of a sudden, President Trump and people, hey, not going to happen. The deal Starmers pulled this thing and the House of Lords is going to debate it later next week because it's a major strategic asset. What do I mean? Oh, I don't know. We just called a carrier strike group out of the South China Sea to go through the Straits of Malacca to head across the Indian Ocean to go to the North Arabian Sea to stand off there and be prepared, be prepared to do a regime change bombing campaign into Tehran. Okay, I don't agree with that. I don't think we should do that. The economic warfare. I would like that strike group to stop every, every tanker coming out of the Straits of Hormuz and saying, guess what, we're taking that oil and the Chinese Communist Party is not going to get it. And the cash for that is not going back to the mullahs. And you see how quickly the mullahs fall, the Ayatollah falls. However, if you're going to do that and you're going to have a strategy like that, that little atoll, that little dot in the middle of nowhere, it can't be turned back over to Mauritius. Who's in Haq to the, in hock to the Chinese Communist Party. Why? The Chinese Communist Party has been running the British East India Company's playbook in reverse for a decade. It's called one belt, One road. It's predatory capitalism to capture the elites in those third world countries, to pay them. Just like the Brits did just the second Opium War. How do you think Fentanyl. They're just taking the Opium War playbook of the Brits. The Brits, they were pretty rough crowd. They knew how to enforce their will onto the world. That's how a little island built of a navy that became an instrument of world history because of its discipline and its fierceness and the smart geostrategic. They took all the choke points of the world, but then they went and like the Romans, they co opted the elites. They co opted the elites and they paid them off and they ran the deal from there. This is why the post war international rules based order is collapsing. You see a collapsing in Davos because the Davos crowd, Davos is just the elites of the United States, the globalists, the Atlanticists just running the deal to the detriment of the American people. The American working man, the working stiff in this country has been paying for all this. So when Eddie Glob, Professor Eddie Glob sits there and goes, you know, this is what made America a hegemon. This is what made America. No, bro, you got it in reverse. You're, you're, you're, you're directionally getting to the problem, but you're not getting to the heart of it. We made that what it was to the, to the benefit of the elites in this country and the working class people and middle class. You paid for it. Your pension funds financed it to ship all those jobs overseas. Your pension funds. Yes, yes, your money, your tax dollars did it. And your children were the. So it's blood and treasure. The blood was yours. Those kids on the patrol in the South China Sea are your kids. Those kids on patrol in the Hindu Kush are your kids. Those kids in the 101st Airborne Brigade in Romania are your kids. Those kids up at the what, 38th parallel in South Korea are your kids the ones in Germany are your kids the ones that went into Venezuela are your children. They're not the elite's children. They're your children. You know why they're your children? Because you raised them up to love this country and defend this country. And guess what? In Iraq and Afghanistan, their lives, their precious lives, not just life and death, but also the injuries were thrown away because you have an elite that only thinks about itself. Could the country have allowed a 12 million person invasion? Who in the Republican Party, Basic Republican Party, the Bush and Carver Republican Party was screaming about this every second of every day. The war room, Real America's voice and maga, not the standard Republicans. Now, faced with this crisis, they're sitting there going, gosh, there's some bad optics. We have to tell the President there's some bad optics here. We don't know this is some bad optics. You want to see bad optics? Look at what happened in Minnesota's, Minnesota's airport last night. Look what happened to the churches. They're coming to the churches. They think that's the soft underbelly of this. You know why? They think the priest, they think the Catholic Church and the mainstream Protestants and a bunch of evangelicals are not tough enough for the fight. You know why? Because you're not tough enough for the fight. You're some of the first that will roll over. There's a war on and we're either going to win it or we're going to lose it. And there's no middle ground. And remember, if we're focused on what this war is and we're determined and we don't quit. We don't quit. We shall win. We will be victorious, just like the revolutionary generation.

Make a commitment to do that this week. Nor Ben Laden from Switzerland. You said something the other day that's resonated with me from when you said it. You said this was on the most important, one of the most important world economic forums that they've had since its founding in 1971. And you do, you're such a brilliant analyst about this. I would like to invite you back today to give us a summary of that because that sets, that's kind of the high school cafeteria for what's really happening in the high school and it has massive implications about where things go. So the floor is yours, ma'.

[B]

Am. High school or mental asylum? I'm not so sure. But you're right. I think it really was a very, very important session this year in Davos. And I can't stress enough that the viewers, the audience, the posse need to watch and re watch that opening clip montage that the team made today for this very show because it really highlights the extent of the psychological war, the information war that we're in that has been devised by, by the world economic foreign people, by the Council on Foreign Relations people, the Trilateral Commission, the Club of Rome, Chatham House and once more the WEF that are all in a web working together, bringing us towards their final destination which is this new World order. And I'd like to point the audience to a few, to a few things here. The first thing I'd like to say is everybody should go as well to the Council on Foreign Relations website. They have two articles specifically that I'd like to highlight. One is on the Conflicts to watch in 2026, which ties exactly to what is being discussed happening in Minnesota and this crisis and the so called US political violence that is ratcheting up, which is true, but you have to understand this is entirely manufactured, just as the managed decline is also manufactured. George Soros has been talking on this about this for years. You know, he's a master in terms of color revolutions. Your country is 100% going through a color revolution. And the other article also on the Council on Foreign Relations website is entitled Global Summits to watch in 2026 bracing for a New Global Disorder. Question mark. And I found that the title was very telling because it ties to everything that's been telegraphed in Davos this week, most specifically by Mark Carney. You know, you have all these liberals as well in the cold open that you posted there. They're all fawning over Mark Carney for his speech. But there is another speech that people haven't been paying attention to. Which is a speech that was given by the President of Finland, Alex Stubb, in a talk entitled Rebalancing the New World Order. And he framed the current times wherein in the following matter he said that the New World Order can be multilateral with international institutions, open societies, or multipolar, with deals and spheres of interest. And how if you give more power to the global south, they will decide the New World Order. As Tim Hinchliff spotted there. The point I'd like to make with regards to that is that multilateralism versus multipolarity is a false dichotomy because at the end of the day, they both lead to the same destination. Centralized, power, control, governance, surveillance. This is what we've been talking about for years, Steve, on the War Room. And this is when you zoom out, this is what we're looking at. Route even, right, Even the Club of Rome, they had posted many, many years ago about their plan, their multipolar plan about regional adaptive models for the global world system. And they basically view the world as zones that they want to divide up to make it easier to manage and then centralized, as opposed to the Westphalian model of nation states, as we've been discussing. And so Mark Carney talked about the rupture and Christine Lagarde yesterday talked about a transition. And I mentioned on the show yesterday that I tend to agree more with Christine Lagarde that this is a transition, a transition from the past 80 years and the international superstructure, globalist superstructure, that they've been building into this more so called multipolar world. But as I said, it leads to the same destination. And we have an invisible government that has been at work here for many, many, many decades. We often refer back to 1815, you and I, Steve, and the Congress of Vienna as the meeting where the foundations for the globalist superstructure have been laid out and organized, which have led us to this point. And it really pains me to see what is happening out of the United States of America, all the latest news, because I can see the controlled demolition in play. And the audience, the posse, the posse is really the, the, the one audience that understands, thanks to your commentary, thanks to all the work that you and your team have been doing, what is actually really happening, the signal, not the noise, to also rip you off, Steve, with your tagline.

[A]

Let me go, let me go back, because this part of the conflict is now here and it's, it's getting kinetic here. Talk to me about color revolution. What is your theory of the case? You're saying, hey, it's Very obvious to an outside observer. I'm looking at you from Europe.

[D]

Right.

[A]

I'm looking with you, with the knowledge of what happened to the Western civilization starting in the collapse in Europe. And I'm looking at this now as a color revolution. And you had color revolutions in Ukraine. And the globalists do this all over the world, where they want to make dramatic changes. Talk to me about, as you look back at what's happening with us, why do you say it's a color revolution? And what direction is this accelerating, is this color revolution accelerating by the globalists against the American people? First off, our sovereignty as a republic and also individual American citizens?

[B]

Absolutely. I would say that you've actually been undergoing a color revolution ever since the 1776 Declaration of your independence. And as you mentioned, it's been accelerating the past few years. But you can. You have these different points in the past 250 years of the United States of America's history, key moments where you can see that different actions were taken in order to undermine the country from within and foment friction and conflict from within. So you can, for example, take one key moment, which is 1908, and the creation of the FBI, for instance, that was very intentional to target US citizens, patriots, who were opposed to the United States of America entering into World War I. And that was Roosevelt and then Woodrow Wilson, one of the biggest traitors of America as president, who really bolstered that and put that into play in order to target American citizens. And you can obviously draw a line all the way to the patriot act following 9, 11, where Patriots and Americans who understand what the Founding Fathers sought out to do to grant this freedom, to put together the system whereby your freedoms and your rights, your constitutional rights were protected. This is the one category in America that has been targeted the most ever since your Founding Fathers declared independence. And the goal is to really erase that memory, to erase that understanding and. And to sever the American people from that knowledge and from that basic notion that you are a free people, granted by your constitutional rights, by your Bill of Rights. And this is what we've been seeing this entire 20th century. This is more on the local level, but then you go on the global level, on the geopolitical level, on the economic level, the financial level. And you have obviously another key marker, which is 1913 and the creation of the Federal Reserve in order to essentially rob the American people of any form of financial freedom and financial agency. And this is obviously culminating to where we are today and everything we discussed yesterday on the show coming out of Davos with this new financial reset and the digitalization of, of the entire financial system. And as you put it on the blockchain.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

And as you mentioned.

[A]

Yeah, I want to. Just give me a minute, but just give me, before you go to the Arctic, just give me the tokenization. Your piece yesterday of why that is a very well thought through Larry Fink plan to actually rob people of more of their freedom. It actually goes beyond fiat currency to total absolute control.

[B]

It's fiat currency, but on steroids, essentially what they want to implement. From my understanding, I directed the posse to go read this article by Tim Hinchliffe that really breaks it down very well to understand what it is they're trying to set up here because it's obviously as usual as with globalist plan, very convoluted, a lot of word salad. But they're coming up with concepts, financial concepts, such as natural asset companies, debt for nature swaps to restructure sovereign debt using nature. They essentially want to talk tokenize every single asset in the world and create these new asset classes essentially where you can also fractionalize assets, which would mean that you essentially dilute ownership of various assets in the world. It's, it's just so I it to me, it is a clear continuation of what they've been doing with the fiat currency system whereby you actually don't really own anything. And as I mentioned yesterday, this is their stated goal. Right. They don't want us to own anything. They, they as an elite class that sits above us, want to be able to control all of the assets in the world and continue their rackets, essentially.

[A]

Hang on for a second. So this is one of the reasons I want everybody to make sure you understand silver going to 100 bucks and gold to 5,000. We're not here to talk about the price or say, hey, you look at the price every day. But there's been a process behind that and there's been a movement of the smart money. This is just not. The price was not driven up by retail buyers. Why has the price been driven up? Because central banks and hedge funds, hedge funds are now putting. Which would never happen in the past. They were, we would have bonds, they would have stocks, they might have private equity, they might even have an asset class of venture capital. Now they're actually carving out for the physical ownership of gold and silver. Why is that? Because it's been a hedge against, for instance, the 25% decrease in the value of the US dollar since the day Biden took office. How did that happen? Massive federal spending, massive federal spending support basically a corporate, corporate welfare in a social welfare state paid for by you twice. Once in your taxes and two, in the depreciation of the dollar. Birchgold.com Go check it out today. Here's your host, Stephen K. Banff. We're gonna get Cleo up in a minute. They just had a little power problem. She's on way in the Pacific, so we're gonna get her back up in a second. Remember Peter Schweitzer's book Invisible Coup? If you're in a bookstore today on Amazon, this actually makes the case that our elites this color revolution driven by our elites, but also Mexico and the Mexican government. Part of it, the Chinese Communist Party, obviously part of it just came out yesterday. They're finding now the hardwire between the Chinese Communist Party and dsa, the Democrat Socialist of America, the driving force with the Working Family Party and back of Mandami. And you heard Mandami just sitting there in your face. Hey, Trump. Hey, President Trump. We're paying for all of it and we don't care what you have to say. So one February, I assume our government's cutting them all off. Gavin Newsom, Pritzker, Mandami Waltz the whole crowd, no money. You're going to be a sanctuary. So you're going to be a tough guy. How about this? Do it on your own dime and let's see how far you go. Del Sh. Cut them off. All government services and interconnections. Chris Horse with us right now. Chris, you've got obviously you've always come in with us with specials in times like this. Huge ice storm, snowstorm, unbelievably low temperatures, hope the grid holds up in Texas. What do you got for us, Chris?

[D]

Horror.

[F]

Well, Steve, I mean obviously two things that you're going to need to make sure you have throughout the storm, which is going to go for another three, four days, communications and power. So what we got [e-mail] we've got when you get a free satellite phone, free Iridium satellite phone, we're going to throw in a free power bank to keep you powered up and a free hard case. And that's just going to cost you 99 bucks a month for 150 minutes, Steve. That's a savings for the war and posse of over $1,500. But look, it's going to be essential to make sure you have backup. Emergency comms and satellite phones will keep working when cell towers go down when the power is out and we're Already seeing Steve across the country, the power outage is starting and that's certainly going to get worse. If we're expecting, as forecasted, half an inch to an inch of snow, that is enough, more than enough to take down power lines everywhere. It's going to cut off the cell towers. So you're going to need a satellite phone. Stay in communication. That's going to work no matter what is going on with the grid. And then we're throwing in the free power bank and the free hard case to keep that phone protected. Steve, sat123.com or call us. We are open all weekend. 941841, 0844 that's 941-841-0844 and we can ship equipment out today, tomorrow and Monday. We are not stopping until this is over.

[A]

Folks. Remember, these are limited when Chris, they're they're able to pull together these deals and come on the day and man, these things sell out quickly. One more time. Where do they go, Chris, because this thing's going to blow out today. I can imagine, sir.

[F]

Yeah, they go to sat123.com sat123.com or give us a call, Steve. 941-841-0844. That's 941-841-0840. And again, we are open 24 hours during this storm like always.

[A]

Chris and I appreciate you doing this for the War in Posse. These things always sell out. So let's get on it today. Appreciate you guys pulling something together in this emergency. Thank you, sir.

[F]

Thanks, Steve.

[A]

Jake Seawolf, the best guys in the business. My Patriot Supply, you've been warning people forever. Hey, you got to get ahead of it. What do you got for us today?

[D]

Hey, Steve, I'm sure everyone's aware of our giant storm that's reaching from Texas to Maine. We're expecting over 2 million Americans are having the worst ice forecast from all the way from eastern Texas to southern Arkansas. I apologize for that. Wind chills could hit about 50 degrees below zero in parts of Minnesota and North Dakota. That's pretty freaking cold if you ask me. And it's more of a matter of when the power goes out, not if. At this point, and we're trying to really warn people, do not burn trash magazines, cardboard, plastic or treated wood inside of your home. A lot of people die every year from carbon monoxide and I'd hate to see that happen to you. And guys like carbon monoxide, you're not going to smell it. You're not going to Feel it. And it's not like it's going to hurt you. It will literally kill you before you even feel symptoms. So just make sure that you guys have the proper indoor heating supplies for the powers out. For the War Room posse special, we're actually giving away ours. The Vesta indoor space heater. So this is what this looks like. No power cords, no anything holds canned heat that's safe to use indoors, specifically ours. So it can hold up to three of these. It'll heat up your room very quickly. 200 square feet. My power actually just went out the other day. And no, actually just my furnace that shut down quit working. But it was like, 35 degrees outside. I fired this bad boy up and kept us nice and toasty while we're fixing it.

[A]

But, Jake, you're bringing up a. Jake, you bring up a great point. I'm shocked about the people that die with carbon monoxide. Go through again what you've got, because this is something everybody ought to focus on. This is something that can and must be avoided.

[D]

Yes, absolutely, Steve. Carbon dioxide is an odorless, tasteless gas. You can't smell, taste it, or anything, and it burns up your oxygen, and so many people die every year. I don't have the exact numbers on me. It's kind of sad to say, but we really want to be educational about that. And I mean, if you're not going to use our product, like, at least find something that is usable. But one of these bad boys will last you six hours. Our Vesta space heater here. Now, as you can see, it's hard to tell, but the fan's on right now. There's no power cords or anything. And what happens is this little canned heat heats up what we call a thermoelectric generator. This plate underneath, and it goes up, disperses the heat here, and that's what powers the fan. So then that way, the so can see will heat up the coils out here in front, and it blows the heat around your room, and then the top comes off and you can use as a stove. It's going right now. So I don't want to touch it. But. But now they.

[A]

So where do people go? Where do people.

[D]

So the big thing is, people go.

[A]

Right now to talk to one of your customer reps, because your strength is the knowledge. You guys give people where they go right now.

[D]

So you can call us 866-229-0927. Tell them you're the war room posse, because we do have a special where you get a vesta for free along with this power grid when you buy a three month food supply kit and a lot of other cool toys. So you can either go directly the page or call in, tell them you're with the war room posse. They'll help you navigate there or get you guys connected up. And the Vesta stove, I mean I use it all the time. It really is incredible. Take it in the trailers, your house, your power goes out and anything.

[A]

For the three month food supply, which is at a huge discount, I think 500 bucks, emergency food supply. You also throw another $400 worth of stuff. So this is an amazing offer. Make sure you get on it right now. Where they go One more time. We got about 30 seconds.
