For the second half of the show, we have a special interview with Philip Phipps, who joins me to discuss the current state of the economy and the need for electric vehicles.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on
00:00:10.980 these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the people have
00:00:17.580 had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do everything
00:00:21.320 the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and where do people
00:00:24.920 like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of these people
00:00:32.740 had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to save my
00:00:40.660 country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k bann
00:00:47.840 it's saturday the 22nd of april in the year of our 2023 welcome you're here for you know it's my
00:00:58.340 favorite show of the week the saturday show for the first hour i've got three of the best that join me
00:01:03.100 philip patrick from birch gold we're going to talk about this debt massive debt fight we got going on
00:01:08.220 the economy all of that i've got from rome ben harnwell talk about ukraine how that falls back
00:01:14.640 to this the beginning of the third world war remember this weekend kicks off the uh third
00:01:19.180 world war the early years uh i'm giving a uh keynote speech on sunday to kind of wrap the
00:01:25.620 conference up and want everybody we're going to be live streaming different parts of it want all of
00:01:29.640 that uh everything associated with it to make sure everybody gets all the information possible of
00:01:34.300 course jeffrey clark is also uh going to join us here in fact i want to start with uh jeff jeff
00:01:39.720 this uh part of the mccarthy plan the mccarthy budget is really about reversing so much that's
00:01:46.980 happened in what they call the uh the inflation reduction act all this build back better all this
00:01:52.300 stuff they did in in biden's uh first couple of years there's a number of clawbacks etc one things
00:01:57.700 they keep talking about is this massive repositioning of the american economy away from the internal
00:02:04.180 combustion engine gas powered cars and two electric uh vehicles we had this huge firefight out in
00:02:10.500 california where they're talking about i don't know putting the cars to uh to 2025 um you know that
00:02:18.360 no more gas engines it's such a huge part of this debate we're having right now about how to balance
00:02:24.420 the budget you've also got a different angle of attack but i just from your perspective and i think
00:02:30.440 this has gone unnoticed because you look at their you know tesla's earnings have fallen they're cutting
00:02:35.260 prices like crazy people just are not buying the vehicles you have now all types of reports and
00:02:40.340 analysis said i think under seven percent of the people want an electric vehicle one is just the
00:02:45.440 cost and the cost of the battery and the cost of the charging stations all that give us your perspective
00:02:50.420 why this is a maniacal focus of the biden regime and they're hitting it at every level in the budget
00:02:57.200 in tax credits through the epa through mandates walk us through why why is this obsession with electric vehicles
00:03:04.320 well steve i think it's part of the climate cult and we have in the so-called inflation reduction act
00:03:11.240 just billions of dollars in climate grants and i'll talk to you uh at a later time about a conference call
00:03:18.260 i dialed into about these grants and i made a point of asking about the uh uh grants that you know
00:03:25.080 could they be used to help east palestine i'll i'll again i'll talk to you about that later but look
00:03:29.560 at the moment what they're doing is they're trying to radically restructure the economy i'd even argue
00:03:34.460 kill the economy uh you know through all this spending that's why we're having this big debt fight
00:03:39.460 to cut that stuff out uh but the angle of attack i want to talk to you about is look you know we
00:03:44.840 we have uh massive deficits and and the national debt as far as the eye can see but we also have
00:03:50.960 massive regulatory taxes and the epa has just proposed imposing a you know real doozy of a
00:03:58.660 regulatory tax they are saying that by model year 2032 beginning in model year 2026 they're eventually
00:04:07.420 going to get the u.s to a point where 70 percent of new vehicles sold are electric vehicles now take a
00:04:15.040 step back and recognize what that means at the moment battery-powered electric vehicles have a market
00:04:20.740 penetration rate of about seven percent of new vehicles so they want to go from seven to 70 in
00:04:26.500 about eight or nine years that's a 900 percent increase i mean that is just flabbergasting and
00:04:33.960 the regulatory cost that that's going to impose on the economy the lost jobs people entirely priced out
00:04:40.560 of the market it's just unthinkable and they're also trying to justify it steve with a kind of fairy dust
00:04:47.860 math where they claim that this regulation will create and wait for this 1.6 trillion dollars
00:04:54.520 in net benefits over costs i mean anyone who believes that needs to immediately go to a uh a mental health
00:05:01.940 professional to get chuck checked out i mean it's just not plausible in the least and if you just follow
00:05:07.260 the logic to its you know rational conclusion right why can't we just regulate our way out of inflation
00:05:13.680 regulate our way out of uh the uh economic stagflation that we're going through all by just
00:05:19.640 imposing new regulatory mandates 1.6 trillion at a clip it makes absolutely no sense steven it is the
00:05:26.140 the administrative state on a roll well this is why i said you know in trump's first term when i talked
00:05:32.620 to cpac deconstruction administrative states one of our priorities i'm gonna have philip patrick on here
00:05:37.000 in a second to talk about the budget and capital markets but this is the reason we need to have this
00:05:42.500 fight now the reason we can't have any lift at all to the debt ceiling is that we've got to choke out
00:05:47.620 the administrative state here's the first question um newsom just announced and i think they're talking
00:05:54.320 in a couple of years in california they're going to stop selling any internal combustion engine gas
00:05:58.860 power cars whatsoever but what the audience wants to know is how can they just come up with these
00:06:04.260 regulations is this a law that went through congress is their interpretation of a law i mean how do they
00:06:09.760 actually get to the thing of giving a dictate a diktat that 70 percent within you know six seven
00:06:16.320 eight years are going to be electric vehicles when we don't have any of the infrastructure set up none
00:06:20.260 of it how does that actually happen how's the grid going to bear that for instance right steve so uh
00:06:27.180 exactly clearly if this were put to congress there's no way that it would pass both houses of congress and
00:06:33.800 then be able to get signed into law by joe biden it's something that can only be done as a
00:06:37.940 regulatory diktat so what does it trace to it traces to the clean air act steve this is a rulemaking
00:06:43.860 under uh section 202 a of the uh the clean air act and you know it's why we need things like
00:06:52.880 uh the major questions doctrine that i'll talk about in a second and why we really need the full-on
00:06:58.200 medicine of the non-delegation doctrine because basically we're talking about delegations made
00:07:03.200 to epa 40 50 years ago and they're now being used to be perverted and turned into not just an
00:07:11.120 incremental program that you know gradually ratchets up uh you know how the fuel economy of
00:07:17.700 the cars is going to go or what the uh emission standards are so you get uh improvements in air
00:07:23.080 quality no they're going to they want to change the the direction of the economy they want to eliminate
00:07:28.540 the electric i mean sorry the uh gas uh powered conventional engine they want to have all electric
00:07:33.660 and they want to do that without any specific congressional authorization and that's where
00:07:38.200 the major questions doctrine comes in because steve last term from the supreme court in a case called
00:07:43.500 west virginia versus epa we got a decision that said that epa could not radically generation shift
00:07:49.940 how we were producing power at power plants in the united states going from uh coal or other uh you know
00:07:57.920 fuels to natural gas and then ultimately only to renewables the supreme court said there's no clear
00:08:03.420 statement from congress in the clean air act that you can do that if you want to try to do that you
00:08:07.500 got to go back to congress similarly here i think this is even more radical uh transformation of how
00:08:13.540 the economy would work that you'd go from seven percent of heavily subsidized electric vehicles to 70
00:08:20.420 percent in just about eight years because model year 2020 uh uh 2032 would start in calendar year
00:08:27.860 2031 so this is just a this is a a massive power grab people would never vote for it and it also steve has
00:08:35.820 ridiculous justifications like this they say they need to do this to avoid uh racism and promote
00:08:42.840 so-called environmental justice right but it's exactly uh you know in opposite land right you stand on
00:08:50.080 your head to have to see that because what this rule would do is price the vast amount of americans
00:08:55.480 out of the vehicle market right they you try to go into a car dealership and say what they're
00:09:01.380 using in their fuzzy math here and say hey give me an uh electric powered version of a conventional
00:09:07.020 vehicle for twelve hundred dollars extra and they're going to laugh all the all the yeah all the
00:09:12.040 minorities are going to be forced into public transportation with no choice hang on for a second
00:09:16.080 the left supports you i want to play one of the biggest voices on the progressive left this is
00:09:21.580 young turks anna kasparian let's go ahead and play this we've we've made it so it can be played during
00:09:26.800 the family hour then i'm gonna have jeff clark comment this is the this is the progressive left
00:09:31.300 their thoughts about this very topic way that it happens is i know that in in california at least with
00:09:37.500 the phasing out of gas powered cars and they'll probably do the same thing with uh gas stoves is
00:09:44.360 they just ban the sale of any new gas powered cars or any new gas stoves and so the technology
00:09:53.420 that you have in your home the gas stove that you have in your home if it breaks not only are you
00:09:58.380 not able to buy a new one but it gets increasingly more difficult to just repair it you get what i'm
00:10:03.260 saying and so like i get it but that's a bump that's the normal bumps in the road as you transition
00:10:08.520 to things i know but jank like don't minimize the financial burdens associated with these things okay
00:10:13.500 because like i am literally freaking the out about the charging station thing i'm like it's
00:10:19.480 gonna call we're gonna take out a massive loan to pay for it we're not getting any help from the
00:10:24.200 government on that did you did you guys ask is there any tax credits but seriously
00:10:30.520 james say there's no government help at all to transition you guys about tax credits no no i'm
00:10:36.820 saying for the hoa no there's been no talk of tax credits i haven't seen anything about tax credits i
00:10:41.980 should look into it maybe there are tax credits but i don't give a about tax credits because you
00:10:46.300 have to shell out cash okay like i just i want to do something in response to climate change that is
00:10:53.580 not my my issue here my issue is how like we're forced to make all these changes that are a financial
00:11:00.860 burden a giant inconvenience with like little to no help and the solution from the government in
00:11:06.100 terms of like no no you get you get financial benefits for doing this tax credits no i don't want i don't
00:11:11.640 want the tax credits i won't give me the money give you give me the money okay don't tell me this
00:11:17.620 about how i have to buy like some new thing because the government's forcing me to do it and then like
00:11:23.900 after i file my taxes there's a certain portion of that purchase that might be tax deductible like
00:11:30.700 i'm so sick of it it's just like like endless pressure pressure pressure pressure i can't take it
00:11:39.180 yeah i hear you and and we asked too much of the middle class we asked too much of the average
00:11:43.580 oh the middle class is the most group of people in this country no i hear you on all that but at
00:11:48.300 some point we gotta go to electric cars we don't have a choice like the plant's burning so we gotta
00:11:54.260 go to electric cars so when california says hey let's go to electric cars by whatever the number is
00:11:59.540 2025 etc yeah yeah it's gonna be tough but yeah and when at the same time now prices are coming down
00:12:06.740 right okay but jank let's not minimize the cost of like actually charging those cars right because
00:12:15.760 here's here's the other thing so gavin newsom pushes for and succeeds in passing legislation in
00:12:21.400 california that would ban the sale of electric cars at a certain year i think it is 2025 if i'm not
00:12:27.600 mistaken maybe not maybe it's 2035 i don't remember the exact year but eventually pretty soon you're
00:12:33.800 no longer going to be able to buy a gas powered car in california literally like that same month
00:12:41.040 kevin newsom's like oh there's a heat wave and our energy grid really can't handle it and so i'm just
00:12:48.120 going to ask you guys if you have electric vehicles please don't charge them right now it's just
00:12:51.960 no you can't do that jeff clark anna kasparian is one of the most articulate voices on the
00:13:00.480 progressive left and she did the best analysis there of why the middle class and working class
00:13:05.660 they're going to get and sink sitting there well you're just going to have to the planet's burning
00:13:09.540 and we've got to go to electric vehicles he is the administrative state is he not sir
00:13:13.840 he is and look she she was dead on there in terms of her analysis about
00:13:19.060 the grid can't handle the demands for power for that many electric vehicles look at what's happening
00:13:24.360 in california that uh people can't afford them they're going to be priced out of the market
00:13:28.820 you know the biden administration is saying that this new rule on the epa side is justified to fight
00:13:34.760 racism but it's actually a racist rule because it's going to price a lot of black and brown people
00:13:39.200 out of the american dream of owning your own car it's ridiculous but while she's smart in her
00:13:45.160 analysis and seeing that you know those policy prescriptions to fight the you know ostensible
00:13:50.740 problem of climate change she's logically challenged because she can't see that if they're claiming that
00:13:56.920 they need to get to net zero right by some future date in terms of carbon dioxide emissions well you
00:14:03.340 know you have to do radical things like that to do it so then you have to question do we really need
00:14:07.980 to do this or not and clearly you know uh sank won't question that he's like well the planet's
00:14:13.820 burning we absolutely have to take these steps uh you know whereas she's saying like well there
00:14:18.700 must be another way but no there is no other way that's why i say she's she's logically challenged
00:14:23.700 they're doing something that is economically infeasible and that's why these regulations should be
00:14:29.920 struck down look back in the 90s we got a two percent vehicle mandate in california for electric
00:14:35.400 vehicles struck down this is a 70 mandate it's ludicrous jeff how do we get to your you on social
00:14:43.120 media and to your website sure i'm at uh jeff clark us on getter and twitter and on real jeff
00:14:50.100 clark on truth social and we're at the center of america renewing.com the center for renewing
00:14:55.800 philip patrick next in the war room thanks jeff in my younger days i was a naval officer on a
00:15:01.900 destroyer in fact i was the a gang officer in charge of all the engineering systems that were not
00:15:07.740 main propulsion and one of those was air purification and i can tell you the standards
00:15:12.960 of the united states navy are second to none if all home air purifiers are the same why did the
00:15:19.260 u.s department of defense select envirocleanse to protect and purify the air on board our navy
00:15:24.980 ships because of via cleanse advanced mineral technology goes beyond ordinary hepa filters
00:15:30.720 to destroy airborne illness causing cold and flu viruses including covid envirocleanse is the new
00:15:38.860 science in air purification and now you can order one for your home this is how you help stop colds
00:15:45.260 and flus from taking your whole family down this is how you destroy allergy inflaming toxins and mold
00:15:50.820 from the air your family breathes in fact this hospital grade technology is so powerful that it
00:15:56.720 promises far fewer colds and allergies and better sleep visit ekpure.com that's ekpure.com and use
00:16:05.300 the code steve for 10 off your envirocleanse home purification unit you also receive a free air
00:16:13.600 quality monitor plus fast free shipping that's 150 savings right there that's ekpure.com code steve
00:16:24.160 ekpure.com ekpure.com okay welcome back i want to go to philip patrick hey philip uh you're out
00:16:37.880 correct me if i'm wrong brother i know you're out in la these electric vehicles and why i wanted to
00:16:45.180 start the show with this so much of what's going on people can't make sense all this spending what's
00:16:51.660 they're trying to what's in this budget in the regulatory so it's two ways they're coming at you
00:16:57.140 from the spending side right the woken weaponized spending but i keep talking about systemic
00:17:01.560 they're also coming the administrative states coming at the regulatory side that's what jeff
00:17:06.220 clark lays out i mean this is just taking the clean air act which was from the 1960s
00:17:10.440 adding an element to it that is so radical now you're out in california you're getting it also at
00:17:16.280 the state level with newsom we just had casperi on there correct the people in california can we take
00:17:21.760 this but this gets to the basic issue of why our economy is not hitting on all cylinders we're not
00:17:29.720 just not full spectrum energy dominance we've done this bizarro move to like take an energy superpower
00:17:37.680 and redirect it to wind and solar and electric vehicles it's so embedded i mean mccarthy and these
00:17:44.000 guys have it's not billions it's literally hundreds of billions of dollars in these tax credits and all
00:17:50.340 this so first before we get into the economy overall and and i want to talk about gold and why it's been
00:17:56.180 a hedge and why people should think about it just give me your overall perspective of the madness and
00:18:01.860 insanity that we're trying to chop our way through brother i mean it's obscene and i think jeff clark
00:18:08.120 did a really good job of sort of laying out how absurd it is this concept of going green as a
00:18:14.360 long-term idea may be a great idea but right now the nation clearly cannot support it all right and i
00:18:20.920 think biden is incapable of thinking beyond beyond the end of the day and if you consider the
00:18:26.600 republicans plans that they're putting forward they're fairly reasonable right we're talking about
00:18:31.160 a one-year debt ceiling increase freezing spending at last year's levels reclaiming tens of billions of
00:18:38.240 dollars in unspent pandemic relief funds i mean it's fairly rational and what does biden say on the
00:18:44.540 back of that he said that mccarthy had effectively proposed huge cuts to important programs that
00:18:51.120 millions of u.s households depend on it's nonsense right it caps government spending mccarthy's plan
00:18:57.280 at a one percent increase per year how is this massive cuts right it's just bizarro land the guy
00:19:05.260 hasn't got an idea he's trying to appeal to special interest groups but in the process he's running the
00:19:11.180 economy into the ground and we're seeing it it's bizarre you you bring up and i'm glad you use those
00:19:20.100 two terms uh reasonable and uh rational and we pride ourselves here in the war of being unreasonable
00:19:27.040 and here's why i think it's now a time in america if we're just reasonable and i've given a real hat
00:19:35.040 tip to to speaker mccarthy because he's got a herd cats right he's got the mainstream he's got some guys
00:19:40.880 up in new york they're in tough districts i i get that he's trying to get to 218 to be able to put
00:19:46.200 something and quite frankly as we've been saying the show the last couple days the 218 has some
00:19:51.360 very compelling arguments to it and they've gone back to try to be reasonable and try to be rational
00:19:55.860 and not look like this or we take a different view and that view is that no we need to lance the boil
00:20:05.140 now and the boat we got to say no not one penny increase to the death and here's why and this is why
00:20:12.580 i think it's good to your special that you're a precious metals specialist you guys offer advice
00:20:17.040 you've been doing it for years and why precious metals on fire because you have japan and india and
00:20:23.720 china and russia and and others buying gold with with both hands and here's the reason
00:20:29.780 what is happening is not reasonable it's not rational if we try to count it with a rational plan
00:20:37.640 we're the suckers what they're doing is absolute madness and to the point what i want you to address
00:20:44.880 is the brics brazil russia india china uh south america and others which are kind of what i call
00:20:51.900 the global south they have the resources they're sitting there and they're going hang on for a second
00:20:56.720 the west is controlled by the dollar that is the prime reserve currency everything i got to do is in
00:21:02.960 dollars and all that they're not showing a discipline all they're doing is a rolling devaluation so i'm
00:21:08.660 giving my my rubber or my coal or my oil or my uh rare earths all the resources the global south has
00:21:16.100 i'm training that for a an instrument a federal reserve note that they're devaluing so hey maybe
00:21:22.880 here's what i'm doing and this is my theory of the case they're essentially going to a quasi gold standard
00:21:28.400 because they're actually being there are most of those countries are enemies but you see the internal
00:21:36.360 logic of what they're saying the west and and we're remember here we're fighting the biden regime and the
00:21:42.680 irrational people they're saying no you have to go everything on electro even if you believe the
00:21:48.200 electrical vehicles there's no absolutely rational people say we're going to do it in five years or six
00:21:55.380 years we don't have the grid we don't have the charging stations we don't have the lithium batteries
00:21:59.560 you have nothing so the the global south to me first of all by going to a quasi gold standard
00:22:06.700 is actually saying no the west and this is why we have to get our house in order and the only way we
00:22:12.720 get our house in order if the war room posse first off gets the birch gold uh you know the third
00:22:19.020 installment on the debt track because we wrote this months ago but it's like we ripped it off today's
00:22:22.940 headline from this morning's wall street journal we have to be unreasonable and unreasonable is have
00:22:30.340 to say no because we're going to have this fight uh give me your thoughts on that philip patrick
00:22:34.880 listen you're absolutely spot on we talk about gold as a hedge and it is proving that i mean i didn't
00:22:40.980 need to prove it it's done that for the last 5 000 years but it's proving it as a market hedge
00:22:46.160 shorter term right what have we seen in the markets s&p down 20 percent in the last year bonds down 13
00:22:52.200 inflation officially at five really at 15 the dollar down seven percent in the last 16 months
00:22:59.440 what's gold done on the back of that up over 10.6 percent so it's hedging financial markets
00:23:05.360 look at demand this is really important demand for physical gold rose 10 to a nine-year high
00:23:12.420 central government gold demand rose 82 percent 2022 biggest year for central bank gold buying in history
00:23:21.900 so we know why individuals are buying it they're looking at a market hedge they're looking for
00:23:26.920 something that doesn't have counterparty risk they're looking for real wealth central governments
00:23:32.300 is a different picture right are they hedging economic uncertainty absolutely the imf just slashed its
00:23:38.780 global economic forecast in half but what it really is and this is what you mentioned it's a vote against
00:23:45.760 the dollar as a store of value and this is the biggest problem right brazil russia indian china
00:23:51.100 they're essentially eliminating the dollar from their transactions they don't want dollars if they
00:23:56.380 can avoid it now is the yuan or the ruble going to be global reserve currency tomorrow no they both
00:24:02.940 have issues it's going to take time but what it's telling us is even a handful of non-dollar trades
00:24:10.180 significantly affects the dollar's global role right when currency regimes change gold is the default
00:24:16.580 store of value nobody knows at this point what's ultimately going to replace the dollar right so
00:24:22.620 instead of risking a bad bet they buy gold because gold is the hedge so historically during times of
00:24:28.740 uncertainty like this air coming out of stock market bubbles a shift in global reserve currency regime
00:24:34.140 gold does well so i think we've proven it's a hedge today yeah as it has been many times in history
00:24:39.740 five thousand years i'm going to go back to the central banks for a second uh because we're not
00:24:44.900 here to give investment advice what we're trying to do is give the macro and some of the micro and let
00:24:48.540 you but my my thing i tell everybody and this is on every topic we do i try to immerse you in
00:24:54.640 information and so you guys can make your own rational so this is a free society you're free men and
00:24:59.780 women you have to make your own decisions being the prime reserve currency comes with tremendous
00:25:06.920 benefits it also comes with tremendous responsibilities i'm not saying that we have to be
00:25:12.560 the prime reserve currency going before it has been other countries in the past it has been
00:25:17.240 uh england the united kingdom until the end of world war ii where the pound had been since the
00:25:21.940 napoleonic wars basically since the congress of vienna it had been the spanish currency before it had
00:25:27.380 been other currencies before okay i'm not saying it has to be but you don't come off of that
00:25:34.100 without major and i mean major um financial and economic consequences and it's not something to
00:25:42.660 be done to be forced upon you it's something you have to and look what happened to england look at
00:25:48.100 all those lost years until thatcher came to power in the late 70s and early 80s the english lost a
00:25:54.540 generation right you see the japanese have lost they call the lost generation lost we are going to do
00:26:00.660 that if we continue on this massive irrationality and continue to spend i am not taking the side of
00:26:07.240 our enemies here i want to make sure people understand that these are particularly in persia
00:26:11.160 and in saudi arabia in turkey in the kgb in russia and particularly the ccp in lula in brazil they are
00:26:18.340 the enemies of the united states but we are playing into their hand and making them seem logical go back
00:26:23.740 i got a couple of minutes i got to get to this central bank thing the central bankers also have a
00:26:28.720 massive responsibility to their countries walk me through again the purchases of gold because this
00:26:33.880 is not steve bannon saying it this is not philip patrick the guys of birch gold these are these are
00:26:39.380 some of the heaviest dudes men and women in the world that every day are under pressure to make tough
00:26:45.040 decisions what are the central banks doing in regards to gold listen you're absolutely absolutely
00:26:51.120 spot on i always tell people you can listen to what i say that's one thing when central governments
00:26:57.020 are buying central bank government are buying gold at levels never seen before in history it means more
00:27:03.200 than anybody's opinion there is no smarter money than central bank money and they are moving into gold
00:27:09.020 like i said last year was a record in history for central bank gold buying across the board and it's not
00:27:16.620 just brazil russia indian china it's our it's our it's our allies as well when currency is up in the air
00:27:23.700 people turn to gold that's what's happening and it's happening on a big big scale and it's because
00:27:30.240 we're trashing the dollar every day okay philip hang on we're getting more into the economy i got

00:30:10.220 dot com promo code bannon do it today war room here's your host stephen k bannon
00:30:17.240 air defense has been a very top priority uh for us uh for the entire war uh but uh you know ever
00:30:28.900 since um the fall and winter we've really been surging uh air defense capabilities to ukraine uh to
00:30:35.380 include uh a u.s patriot system uh alongside one that germany is providing uh we've contributed nasam's
00:30:43.220 systems um uh other uh short medium and long and long range uh air defense and missile defense
00:30:49.960 uh systems uh so we will we're doing everything we can we've made two priorities one was uh to bolster
00:30:56.860 uh western uh air defense systems i already mentioned the patriot systems but also uh to make sure that
00:31:03.760 they had sufficient artillery and that we were uh providing them the armored and mechanized systems that
00:31:08.800 we knew they would need and would need to be trained on uh for the upcoming spring and summer
00:31:13.920 offensive so uh we are all in okay we're all in welcome back to the worm let's go to rome and bring
00:31:22.320 in ben harnwell uh ben we can't talk about um getting our arms around the budget stopping the
00:31:28.780 spending here the defense budget's 850 billion dollars i'm a believer of taking down the ccp using
00:31:34.280 non-kinetic means now if we got to fight them in a gunfight in the south china sea we got to get
00:31:40.000 ready for that immediately i'm all in on that their number one priority but we need to cut the defense
00:31:44.940 budget we cannot continue to spend and this is because we're spread all over hell's half acre
00:31:48.720 and the biggest place we're spread all over is ukraine walk me through who was that individual why is
00:31:55.240 this another tripling down particularly when we just had the release of the classified documents
00:32:00.120 ron filipowski and others have watched the show so closely i disagree with you you keep saying that
00:32:06.940 the slides about ukraine were russian disinformation it's all changed i'm not buying that because i
00:32:13.280 haven't seen the evidence of that you've got to show them i see the evidence of all the different 100 plus
00:32:18.600 slides of the of the leaks and it all hangs together and you haven't seen blowback i haven't
00:32:24.880 seen milly testifying and say it's not true right now they it says in the in this slide 70 000
00:32:30.960 ukrainian troops dead casualties the seven 16 or 17 000 russian plus it shows everything's a lie
00:32:37.680 we've been told the whole triumphalist narrative is a lie including this big spring offensive they're
00:32:43.160 supposed to get ready for ben why is this clip so important about their even with what we know now
00:32:50.080 they're still adamant about all in and all in means not just more dead ukrainians i'm gonna get
00:32:55.280 philip patrick here in a second it means more tens of not hundreds of billions of dollars from u.s
00:33:01.840 taxpayer poured into the charnel house that is the combat zone of ukraine sir yeah steve this was an
00:33:10.180 interview that was released earlier on in the week with the editor of foreign policy um and the guy
00:33:16.960 being interviewed colin carl is the under secretary for defense he's the guy who's in charge of policy
00:33:22.240 and specifically of course with regards to ukraine and its um spring offensive uh and this is really
00:33:30.480 the the as you say it's not this isn't anything that's been leaked or has emerged in papers pentagon
00:33:37.840 of of um unconfirmed veracity this is an interview a public interview where the head guy um at defense
00:33:49.280 is saying perfectly clearly that the united states is all in uh with regards to ukraine now if anyone
00:33:57.440 watching you know the war impossible this isn't going to be news because we've been covering this and
00:34:02.400 all the indications from the united states and from nato have been that this is basically a proxy war
00:34:09.520 um obviously um some attention needs to be if i might just go on because this ties into something
00:34:16.560 else that happened um earlier on in the week sure and that is jens stoltenberg went to um to ukraine i
00:34:22.960 think it was on thursday um and this is the quote that stoltenberg gives this is how it all ties
00:34:28.080 together he says nato stands with talking to president zelensky nato stands with you today
00:34:34.880 tomorrow and for as long as it takes nato's has been saying this um as has the united states as has
00:34:42.960 the uk uh for some time here it pivots i think to what putin has been saying domestically and he
00:34:49.840 he's obviously been pillow pillow pillow it um by the west but putin has been saying that um that
00:34:57.520 really nato is involved um in this war is acting behind the scenes and nato has sort of been denying
00:35:03.680 this again somewhat contradicted by the leaked pentagon papers but now so that again this is this is this
00:35:10.320 is the secretary general of the un speaking um on ukrainian sort of not a nato ally though obviously if
00:35:18.000 if you if you wanted to type in the word ally into um into any of the press articles that has come
00:35:23.520 up it's the number one art it's the number one word that's repeated again and again and again
00:35:28.240 about nato allies um here which of course ukraine isn't one um but putin has you know has been
00:35:36.640 saying that this is this this is a war uh when nato is acting behind the scenes and this is absolutely
00:35:42.160 true because what is nato but it's simply a glove uh which is uh the the the the hand within this
00:35:50.560 glove is the united states see this is what's happening it's basically the equivalent of how
00:35:56.320 do you boil a fog uh if you throw it into the boiling water it's going to hop out straight away
00:36:01.360 you turn it up one degree at a time it's going to it's going to be boiled today without have ever
00:36:06.560 ever having realized the increases of temperature and this is this interview here as i say in foreign
00:36:11.680 policy is yet a further illustration how you know the goal posts are sort of constantly being moved in
00:36:18.880 and without anyone without the president uh ever going to congress or asking for war powers or anything
00:36:26.160 like this the united states is is now pretty much admitting that it that it is uh that it is all in
00:36:33.680 in a war of which it is ostensibly not a player all in and it's never come to the american people
00:36:42.000 just hang on for one second i'm gonna come back to this whole nato as vassal state and what's really
00:36:46.880 going on here i want to go to philip patrick philip one of the reasons we have central banks buying so
00:36:51.280 much gold one of the reasons we have so much perturbations is that the u.s as part of this initial
00:36:57.440 policy about russia we did to the russians what we never did to the nazis or to the fascists or to
00:37:06.560 imperial japan in world war ii or even the bolshevik even the soviet union we went right after their
00:37:11.920 central bank and we tried to destroy the ruble and and that caused tremendous perturbations now because
00:37:18.480 he has wait for it natural resources oil and gas they were able and every day you hear the economy's
00:37:25.120 collapsing putin's being overthrown it's it's but walk me through the u.s because one of the reasons
00:37:31.200 they're trying to get off the dollar is being used the dollar as a weapon and i'm all for using the
00:37:37.040 dollar as a weapon when you use it rarely but you use it like a nuclear weapon like taking it on the
00:37:42.960 ccp after hong kong you can't just keep going on these sanctions all the time or they're going to sit
00:37:48.720 there and go yo dude i'm addicted to this stuff and it's a weapon you can use against me hey call the
00:37:54.160 gold desk i think i want it back my god i think i want to back my natural gas and my oil and my
00:37:59.440 economy with gold is that essentially what's happened here we weaponized it in this situation
00:38:05.760 with the using ukraine as the proxy war against russia and it's blown back on us it's exactly what
00:38:11.280 happened and and i think your perspective was absolutely right look russia were prepared for it
00:38:16.240 they've increased gold holdings they have a very under diversified economy i've said before they're
00:38:22.320 essentially a gas station we sanctioned them ruble plummeted they pegged the ruble to the price of
00:38:28.560 gold it stabilized and that was that had we saved that bullet for china it would have been devastating
00:38:35.760 right but i think russia and china were always seeking an alternative to the dollar but they didn't
00:38:40.800 have the motivation because it's problematic right to go out and really do it this gave them the
00:38:47.040 motivation obviously trying to have aspiration for taiwan they want to make sure they're as prepared
00:38:52.320 as possible for u.s sanctions so i think it in escalate it significantly escalated the inevitability
00:38:59.120 and i think it was just a big political misstep on behalf of the biden regime but no surprise right
00:39:07.040 one of the things we try to do on the show is to make sure we give nomenclature process critical
00:39:11.440 paths statics and dynamics so that people can come to their get their own mental map and their own
00:39:17.600 understanding so then they can learn going forward about how the world works i want to go back to
00:39:22.320 something that is one of the most important uh not just elements of the ukraine war but one of the
00:39:29.600 most important things that happened in modern economic history in the 21st century was in the
00:39:35.440 early months of this war when we were using economic warfare like we've never used against
00:39:40.720 either hitler or the ccp and we use it against russia and what they did and it got no almost got no
00:39:48.560 coverage in the corporate mainstream business media talk about put in these guys they went and when we
00:39:55.040 were trying to crush the ruble in the early in the first hundred days and take down their central bank
00:39:59.840 holding actually the dollar reserves they had in other banks throughout the west they went and made
00:40:05.280 a move to peg the ruble to gold walk me through that and what happened and most importantly
00:40:10.560 why was the business media not covering this non-stop sir i mean look the the the mainstream media is
00:40:19.200 trying to paint biden as a saint and i think every misstep is swept under the carpet so again that's no
00:40:25.520 surprise but like i said putin's pretty smart right now he went into to ukraine in 2014 took crimea i think
00:40:34.480 he always had aspirations to take the rest of ukraine but knew that they had to prepare right he i think
00:40:41.200 he he knew what would happen from a sanction standpoint ruble plummeted initially he increased gold holdings
00:40:48.480 he pegged the ruble to the price of gold it stabilized and it went to 30 year highs the ruble hadn't been
00:40:54.640 stronger at one point for 30 years so it didn't have the dramatic effect on the russian economy that they thought
00:41:01.440 it would and of course russia have a lot of control as you mentioned they've got a lot of natural
00:41:06.320 resources and it gives them control in in terms of how they spend you look at russian um china now
00:41:12.080 sorry having very successful conversations with the saudis this is a significant problem for us here in
00:41:19.600 the us the the petrodollar was a sacrosanct agreement between nixon and the saudis since the 70s
00:41:25.920 for them to break that i think is a reflection of of the us on the global stage and we're weakening
00:41:32.160 our grip and this is what i've always said biden you know a president lasts four or eight years
00:41:38.160 but the the damage that this guy is doing if he continues down this path will long outlive his
00:41:44.560 presidency long outlive so this is really concerning stuff i think that shakespeare tells us this right and
00:41:52.080 is it mark antony's uh mark antony's uh eulogy to to caesar in uh in in the play that the evil that
00:42:01.520 men do far outlive uh the interment of their bones the good they do is interred with their bones but the
00:42:07.680 evil that men do live on and that's that's what we're seeing this there is a fundamental i want to
00:42:12.800 make sure people understand there's a fundamental shift in the global economy and that shift is not
00:42:20.080 playing to our benefit we have been the prime reserve currency we we we've been the dominant
00:42:25.360 economy in the world since the second world war and part of the reason was is our allies the chinese
00:42:31.200 people and the russian people not the leaders not stalin and not Mao Zedong but they took the brunt
00:42:38.560 of the nazis and they took the brunt of imperial japan we our valor can't be questioned we really like
00:42:44.160 in world war one were the deciding factor to bring the end to the war but they they were the economies
00:42:50.000 that were devastated they were the countries that devastated we stood astride the globe as a
00:42:54.800 colossus at the end of the war basically un unhit except for pearl harbor right we had lost what six
00:43:02.000 seven eight hundred thousand i think total in in the fight but england and the rest of europe and in
00:43:07.200 russia and china were devastated and since that time brenton woods we've been the prime minister
00:43:12.400 what we're doing now is not thought through even back then these people really thought it through
00:43:17.840 they had a plan they had an idea this is just completely the bottoms falling out okay we're
00:43:23.360 gonna take a short break i got ben harnwell for a few minutes and philip patrick here uh we're going

00:46:29.600 people around there i'm gonna give the closing remarks on sunday let me go to ben ben harnwell give me
00:46:35.760 uh only got a couple minutes give me your latest report from kiev as we're shelling out tens and
00:46:39.920 hundreds of billions of dollars we're having this massive fight they're going to cut all these
00:46:43.600 programs for americans what's happening in kiev sir well it's a very different picture from uh
00:46:50.240 east palestine that's for sure this now is a report i'm going to read from the times okay this is
00:46:56.400 dead down the center establishment cocktails oysters and air raid sirens war hasn't soured kiev's taste
00:47:07.520 for the good life there are now more bars and cafes in ukraine's capital than before the invasion here
00:47:14.560 is the excerpt and i'll leave you with this right the kiev opera is open and luxury spas offer gold leaf
00:47:23.520 facials and teeth whitening at soon a huge art deco department store that is ukraine's equivalent of
00:47:31.200 harrods or harvey nichols moneyed shoppers pick up chanel bags and prada suits it's no different here
00:47:38.880 one sales assistant said it's just the same as it was before this is what our sociopathic overlords
00:47:46.400 are hiding from us and keeping from us and the rest of the mainstream media is broadly complicit in
00:47:52.800 occasionally a crack open steve and some sunlight of truth comes through and we get to see what the
00:47:59.280 real picture is this is the life in ukraine and of course it has to be like that because all of the
00:48:06.160 unaccounted for billions that the united states and other countries have been pouring in to ukraine has to
00:48:12.560 be spent somewhere and this is where it's being spent on gold leaf facials and teeth whitening in kiev
00:48:19.360 ben uh what is your social media how can people keep up with you of all the great reporting you're
00:48:25.360 doing about this it will be on ghetto which is my uh my profile is my surname harnwell at harnwell
00:48:32.560 and i'll also announce now if i may steve you know your um your daily command brief um on the on the
00:48:40.640 warroom.org uh website which i encourage everyone to go to and subscribe to from today onwards i will be
00:48:48.240 doing original content for the for the for the for the website which if you register for the
00:48:54.640 newsletter you'll get the heads up on that original exclusive uh content and it will be my daily roundup
00:49:00.640 on uh on the national news fabulous look forward to launching that i think we officially going to
00:49:06.480 launch it on monday thank you very much ben harnwell love it thank you very much so i appreciate it
00:49:10.560 philip patrick uh i want everybody to go to a birchgold.com slash banner right now to get our
00:49:17.120 end of the dollar empire because if the empire is going to end it should end logically i don't
00:49:22.560 happen to think it should end but it should end logically the bottom's falling out on this what
00:49:26.480 guidance do you have for us in this massive fight you see what's happening in kiev just a joke
00:49:32.400 a sick joke give us your assessment philip patrick yeah look it it's it's crazy huge huge spending
00:49:38.960 now in ukraine and we're 14 months in right proxy wars between the us and russia tend to last a long
00:49:45.280 time so it looks like it's going to get very very very expensive central government gold buying i said
00:49:51.360 last year uh record highs 1136 tons and that's what was officially reported i expect that to continue
00:49:59.760 heavily through the end of this year as well so tough times in front of us central governments now
00:50:05.520 are hunkering down hedging their exposure and i think everybody else has to be doing the same thing
00:50:11.600 so as you said birchgold.com slash banner that's going to get people access to information which at
00:50:18.560 times like this is really really important remember what applies for central banks applies for us just on
00:50:25.120 a smaller level i like you hope this is not the end of the dollar's empire but if it is we need to
00:50:31.920 start hedging our exposure and planning for the worst and hoping for the best i had not heard you
00:50:38.640 and by the way philip is one of the guys that i depend upon to do analysis you know we have cortez
00:50:42.720 we have navarro brad philip's part of the team i had not heard so you believe that the that the level
00:50:47.840 of central bank purchasing gold in this year because you don't see the chaos getting any better you think
00:50:53.920 the decisions they're gonna make are going to rival the levels they bought last year yeah i i absolutely do
00:51:00.720 the dollar's looking shakier this year than last and i think that that leads to an increase in central
00:51:06.800 government gold buying and the trend is is that way through april so far so we're heading in that
00:51:12.480 direction for sure and the logic is they sit there and go hey i can't get fired if i use gold as a
00:51:20.400 hedge it's been for five thousand years if i do something else i can get fired nobody nobody's going
00:51:24.640 to criticize me in the day if i keep buying gold is that basically the central banker that's their
00:51:29.120 insurance policy right that's that's it and they're looking to be smart right we've seen dollar decline
00:51:35.120 we've seen gold shooting up this year so it's working for them and it's working for individuals
00:51:40.480 too i expect it to continue sadly to do so because obviously i think prospects for the dollar short to
00:51:47.680 medium term and long term if we don't have a change not so good okay uh philip once again uh
00:51:55.840 birchgold.com slash band and you get all the information the 401ks you get it on the iras
