X22 Report Ep. 3531 Summary

Episode Title: Trump Is Going To Remove The “Fourth Branch” Of The Government, POTUS Will Be Safe On AF1
Date: December 24, 2024
Host: Dave (X22 Report)

Main Theme and Purpose

This episode centers on claims that Donald Trump is preparing to dismantle the so-called “fourth branch” of the U.S. government—the unelected federal agencies and bureaucracies the host terms the “criminal syndicate.” The episode weaves this narrative through economic, political, and geopolitical developments, arguing that Trump’s incoming administration, with strong grassroots support, aims to reverse decades-old systems (including abolishing the Federal Reserve and income tax), drain government waste, restore law and order, and defeat entrenched Deep State forces. The show discusses strategies, perceived threats, and relevant news, while emphasizing the importance of public support and ongoing operations to achieve these sweeping changes.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Economic & Central Bank System Shakeup

[03:40–08:13]

• Trump is positioned to rapidly reverse the central bank, Deep State, and globalist policies, asserting this can be done in a few years, not decades.
• The central thesis: “Once he reverses everything the central bank has done, it’s going to benefit the people and the people are going to feel it right off the bat. And this is going to empower Trump to continue with what he’s doing.” (Dave, 04:26)
• Dave predicts Trump will ultimately eliminate the income tax, sever U.S. ties to the “private West Central bank” (i.e., the Federal Reserve), and undo the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
• If only the Deep State is dismantled but the Fed remains, “everything will just repeat itself over time.” (05:34)

Notable Quote:

“We need to remove the Federal Reserve, reverse the Federal Reserve act … and I do believe Trump, he is on a mission to do all of this.”
– Dave, [05:24]

2. Biden’s Post-Election Reversals and Fallout

[05:44–08:13]

• Biden has abandoned student loan cancellation, angering student borrowers and progressive voters.
• The host speculates a rise in discontent could be used to trigger unrest and blame Trump, a possible “insurrection” narrative.

3. Department of Government Efficiency & Exposing Waste

[06:40–08:13]

• Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron Paul (among others) are named as backing a new “Department of Government Efficiency,” which will investigate government waste and corruption.
• Rand Paul’s Festivus Report highlights $1 trillion in wasteful spending, with examples like funding for breakdancing, foreign circuses, and the censorship of conservative media.

Notable Quote:

“The whole system is corrupt. The economic system is one gigantic illusion. And the people now are starting to learn that it is.”
– Dave, [08:01]

4. The Bitcoin Strategy and Economic Alternatives

[09:50–12:52]

• Trump supposedly executed a long game regarding Bitcoin, not showing support early to avoid regulatory crackdowns, but now subtly embracing alternatives as the dollar weakens.
• The report traces Bitcoin’s historical price growth on Christmas Eve and predicts “incredible gains” once mainstream economic confidence collapses.
• Gold is also championed as a hedge against fiat currency devaluation.

Notable Quote:

“People are starting to realize that the alternative currency, this is a hedge against a fiat currency that is losing value every single day.”
– Dave, [13:43]

5. Spending, Inflation & the Limits of Central Banking

[15:16–16:57]

• Dave argues that only by returning to a system funded by tariffs and oil sales, rather than unlimited money printing, can America control spending and end inflation.
• Removing the income tax and returning to alternative revenue streams is presented as Trump’s staged strategy.

6. The “Fourth Branch” — Deep State Bureaucracy

[20:41–23:40]

• Focus shifts to the unelected agencies (FBI, CIA, FDA, IRS, DOJ, etc.), called the “fourth branch,” alleged to run the country without direct electoral accountability.
• These agencies are described as “the criminal syndicate”—entrenched, corrupt, and prepared to fight aggressively to survive being dismantled.
• Dave references threats against figures like Elon Musk and attacks on Trump allies like Matt Gaetz as backlash from these unelected powers.

Notable Quotes:

“What is the fourth branch of the government? Well, it’s all the agencies where they weren’t elected, but they’re actually running the country. And we call this the criminal syndicate. And Trump now is prepared and ready to remove them.”
– Dave, [20:51–21:01]

“The power of the unelected federal bureaucracy has grown to become an unconstitutional fourth branch of the government.”
– Elon Musk (quoted by Dave), [55:56]

7. Protection, Operations & Air Force One

[23:40–26:07, 55:53–58:30]

• Dave claims that as operations to take down the Deep State escalate, Trump will operate from Air Force One, insulated and “safe in another part of the world or in the airspace,” similar to prior clandestine trips.
• Reference to a past Q post: “POTUS will be well insulated/protected on Air Force One and abroad … as these operations are conducted.” (57:38)

Notable Quote:

“I do believe that when the operation gets the green light, Trump will be on Air Force One.”
– Dave, [23:20]

[33:08–38:42]

• Biden commutes death sentences for federal inmates, which Dave calls “foot soldiers” for the “Criminal Syndicate” to create chaos.
• Discussion of rising violent crime, sanctuary cities, and illegal immigrant gang activity (e.g., Venezuela’s TDA gang in Colorado), amplifying the “law and order” narrative.
• Trump pledges the return of capital punishment and national order.

Notable Quote:

“As soon as I am inaugurated, I will direct the Justice Department to vigorously pursue the death penalty to protect American families and children from violent rapists, murderers and monsters.”

[43:11–51:20]

• Coverage of ongoing Deep State attempts to spark major global conflicts: Syria, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, East Asia.
• Explanation of energy crisis in Transnistria as a flashpoint orchestrated by Western/NATO/US/CIA interests to provoke Russia.
• Dave argues the “people of the world do not want war,” and Trump’s real “secret weapon” is peace, which will counter deep state provocation efforts.

Notable Quote:

– Dave, [49:54]

“If A.G. Garland, an unprincipled douchebag, could have secured a conviction against Goetz, he would have. But he knew he could not. Case closed.”
– Elon Musk, [59:23]

[60:12–62:00]
