X22 Report Ep. 3819 – Trump Warns The Insurrectionists: What You Are Witnessing Is the War With The [DS]

Date: January 15, 2026
Host: Dave, X22 Report

Episode Overview

This episode centers on the escalating confrontation between Donald Trump’s administration and what the host refers to as the “Deep State,” focusing on recent events in Minnesota—framed as an insurrection against federal authority—and a broader battle for control over the American economy, legal system, and sovereignty. Host Dave argues that Trump is leading a strategic effort against entrenched elites, the Federal Reserve, global bankers, and establishment politicians, positing the nation is witnessing the transition from information warfare to physical confrontation.

Major Discussion Points & Key Themes

1. Battle for Control: Trump vs. The Central Bank & Deep State

• Trump's Parallel Economic System:
  • Dave maintains that Trump is constructing a competing economic system meant to supersede the Federal Reserve and central bank control.
  • Inflation, job growth, manufacturing, and energy independence are cited as markers of success compared to prior administrations.
  • Host blames cumulative inflation and currency devaluation on decades of central banking, particularly since coming off the gold standard in 1971.

“Think about the mandate from the central bank system. Their mandate is for price stability … Have they done this? No.” — Dave, (05:00)

• Sound Money Advocacy:
  • Dave extols the rising value of gold, silver, and Bitcoin as proof of fiat currency’s decline and recommends physical assets as a hedge.
  • Cites historical context of pre-1964 silver coins and the current rush on gold at retail outlets like Costco as evidence of growing public distrust in fiat money.

“People are realizing, holy crap, gold keeps going up. Let me buy more gold. I think silver is another precious metal that everyone should hold right now.” — Dave, (20:31)

2. Climate Agenda and Government Overreach

• Green New Deal Critique:
  • Argues that environmental initiatives are a pretense for global government control over individuals' energy, vehicles, and spending.
  • Points to incidents in Germany (e.g., Toyota remotely disabling car heating features) as evidence of such control mechanisms already being enacted.

“If they were so worried about climate change, the oceans rising, why would they buy multimillion dollar homes on the ocean? It makes no sense whatsoever. Unless … they were lying to us.” — Dave, (10:12)

3. The Minnesota Insurrection: Deep State Testing Trump

• Escalation in Minneapolis:
  • The episode’s central segment details protests and violent encounters involving ICE, illegal immigrants, Antifa, and local authorities.
  • Dave claims Governor Waltz and Mayor Frey are actively encouraging resistance against federal law, fostering an environment in which attacks on federal officers are normalized.
  • Sees recent attacks on ICE agents (including theft of weapons and physical assaults) as a test run for larger insurrection efforts around the 2026 midterms.

“Does this mean that there’s going to be a full-blown insurrection right now, or is it just going to be a localized situation? I think at this point it's going to be a localized situation in Minneapolis, Minnesota.” — Dave, (27:16)

• Trump’s Insurrection Warning:
  • Trump is portrayed as ready to invoke the Insurrection Act should local leaders fail to enforce the law and control violent protests.
  • The host interprets Trump's recent statements as both a deterrent and preparatory step for eventual federal intervention.

“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the patriots of ICE … I will institute the Insurrection Act … and quickly put an end to the travesty.” — Read by Dave, quoting Trump, (81:20)

• Tactics & Optics:
  • Dave suggests that both sides are maneuvering for optics: the Deep State to frame Trump as authoritarian; Trump to highlight local complicity and rally national support.
    • Cites student protests and local officials’ statements comparing ICE to the Gestapo as deliberate narrative-shaping.

4. Election Integrity, Cheating, and Legal Countermeasures

• Mail-In Ballots and Supreme Court Ruling:
  • Dave lauds the Supreme Court’s decision to restrict mail-in ballot acceptance, framing it as a blow to “Deep State” election fraud operations across numerous states (Florida, Georgia, Michigan, etc.).
  • Suggests that cleaning up voter rolls, restricting Social Security number usage, and changing mail-ballot laws collectively limit Democratic avenues for cheating.

“So basically … the Supreme Court said, ‘hey, by the way, there’s only one day you can vote and if there are mail in ballots coming in after that day, they don’t count.’ So basically this is not going to work out too well for the deep state players.” — Dave, (91:30)

• Anticipated Deep State Tactics:
  • Predicts that as legal routes for cheating close, Deep State actors will escalate street-level disruptions—riots, attacks near poll centers—to suppress in-person voting.

5. Foreign Affairs: Venezuela, Iran, Ukraine, and NATO

• Venezuela:
  • Claims Trump’s administration now has cooperative relations with interim president Delsey Rodriguez, including progress on oil, trade, and national security—purportedly choking off deep state funding.
• Iran:
  • Dave asserts Trump’s pressure—tariffs and sanctions—has cut off illicit flows and supposedly halted executions of protesters.
• Ukraine & Russia:
  • Emphasizes that “the problem isn’t Putin, it’s Zelensky, the EU, NATO” by repeating Trump’s stance that elite Western interests are stirring war for their own ends.
• NATO:
  • Argues the US should consider leaving NATO and forming a Western Hemisphere bloc, casting European allies as unreliable and bent on provoking large-scale conflict.

“We don’t need NATO the way it is today. If we control the Western hemisphere … do we really need NATO? No, we don’t. NATO is a relic from the past.” — Dave, (60:14)

6. Corruption, Money Laundering, and Institutional Entrenchment

• Congressional Complicity:

  • Host criticizes both Democratic and Republican lawmakers for voting to fund organizations like NED (National Endowment for Democracy), which are accused of censorship, foreign interference, and being tied to George Soros.
  • Notes high-profile resignations and retirements among GOP incumbents as a sign of a shifting political landscape.

• IRS Targeting Deep State:

  • Points to federal investigations and IRS audits now being directed at entities involved in laundering illicit funds, particularly in Minnesota.

“So basically the IRS now is being used to actually go after the real criminals. Which is very, very interesting because … now besent is weaponizing the IRS against the criminals.” — Dave, (73:55)

7. Healthcare Reform and Decentralization

• Trump’s “Great Healthcare Plan” is mentioned as an impending policy that will decentralize control, increase transparency, boost competition, break the insurance monopoly, and lower prices—mirroring his stance on educational reform.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Economic Manipulation:
  “When you create currency out of thin air and you put more currency into circulation, you dilute the currency, which means the value of the currency declines and declines …” (07:11 – Dave)
• On Local Insurrection:
  “ICE operates in thousands of counties without incident. Men and women doing their job, protecting us from criminal aliens. Minnesota insurrection is a direct result of a failed governor and a terrible mayor encouraging violence against law enforcement.” (71:06 – Todd Blanche, quoted by Dave)
• On the Information War Going Physical:
  “What you’re actually witnessing right now is the information war going physical. And I don’t think it’s just going to go physical in this country … The only thing they have left is war.” (37:34 – Dave)
• On Dual Standards:
  “MSNBC on President Clinton being held in contempt … unprecedented. MSNBC on President Trump’s 37 count indictment … perfectly legitimate. These people are clowns.” (56:40 – Dave)

Summary for New Listeners

Dave, host of X22 Report, contends that the United States is at a historic turning point in a secret war between former President Trump (now depicted as holding presidential power again) and deeply entrenched elites—the “Deep State”—encompassing establishment politicians, the Federal Reserve, and global actors.
Major points include a shift from “informational war” to physical actions (with recent events in Minnesota cited as a flashpoint), deep critiques of climate policy and centralized banking, praise for Trump’s economic and security policies, debates over election integrity, and a forecast of coming attempts by entrenched interests to regain or retain power via war, social unrest, or legal manipulations.

The host presents Trump as prepared, holding legal and popular leverage, and claims that the “Patriots are in control,” with the promise of further revelations and victories against the Deep State as the 2026 midterms approach.
