Summary

In this episode, Alex Blumberg talks about a new report from NBC News about a growing number of FBI field offices across the country asking for a list of all the FBI employees involved in the controversial January 6 cases, and why they fear retribution from the Trump administration.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Some new reporting that has broken since we've been on the air.
00:00:03.040 It's something we've covered for years on this program, and it's happening.
00:00:07.240 It can only be described as the start of a massive, much larger-than-expected purge
00:00:12.720 at the FBI of FBI agents and officials.
00:00:16.360 Many of them, in one way or another, touched the investigations into Donald Trump.
00:00:21.480 Sources telling NBC News this,
00:00:23.180 the Office of Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bobe asked the FBI for a list of bureau employees
00:00:29.660 involved in January 6 cases, sparking panic inside the bureau by people who fear retribution
00:00:36.860 by the Trump administration amidst an ongoing purge of FBI leadership.
00:00:41.900 Meanwhile, my colleague, NBC's Ken Delanian, reports that several top FBI executives
00:00:46.560 were told to resign or be fired, and that the purge includes more than 20 heads of FBI field offices
00:00:53.120 cases, including those in Miami and Washington, D.C.
00:00:56.400 Yeah, this is something I've been sort of chasing all day, and it's tough because there's so
00:00:59.560 many, you know, rumors and a lot of worry being spread within the Justice Department, within
00:01:04.280 the FBI, you know, so there's this community, obviously, of all of these people who work
00:01:08.880 these January 6 cases, you know, on the FBI side, on the DOJ side.
00:01:13.240 And so what we can report is that there was this request for this, you know, list of all
00:01:18.400 these individuals who worked on January 6 cases, and that that's something that the Washington
00:01:22.440 field office has cooperated with thus far.
00:01:26.720 You know, the issue here is that it's such a large list, and so the question is, how are
00:01:30.960 they going to figure out who they're going to be focused and targeted, focused on and
00:01:34.860 potentially targeting here, right?
00:01:36.360 Because it's just so many people within the bureau.
00:01:39.080 This was the largest investigation in FBI history in terms of number of defendants.
00:01:43.000 You're talking about over 1,500 defendants overall, and this can't touch basically every
00:01:48.780 field office in the country.
00:01:50.800 And, you know, some field offices were a lot more enthusiastic about these cases, frankly,
00:01:54.220 than others, because there was a lot of skepticism about these cases within the bureau.
00:01:59.220 And, you know, there was some, I think, tension between the FBI and DOJ and the Washington field
00:02:04.500 office and other field offices across the country over the handling of these cases overall.
00:02:09.540 And, you know, but there are these, there are, so I think there's a span of this, right?
00:02:14.100 Because there are people who were very vaguely involved in, at one point, one January 6 case,
00:02:19.660 and then there's people who were really in the weeds, and January 6 was their main focus.
00:02:23.960 And I think those are the people probably have the most to worry about in the coming days over
00:02:28.520 whether or not, you know, they're basically just going to be fired or targeted based on what
00:02:31.440 we've seen at headquarters thus far and coming out of the Justice Department so far.
00:02:35.820 But if you were to go after everybody who touched a January 6 case, I mean, one, I had
00:02:39.780 one former official say that would be like three-fourths of the bureau, basically, because
00:02:43.460 a lot of people were involved with this on one stage.
00:02:46.800 And remember, those cases range from those very low-level cases, sort of those misdemeanor
00:02:52.460 cases that were of the most controversy, all the way up to seditious conspiracy.
00:02:56.840 But the more common one was those assault on a federal officer charges that were really
00:03:01.300 common, those AFO charges.
00:03:02.580 And even people who were skeptical of the Justice Department's handling of those overall
00:03:06.660 knew, like, were behind those cases.
00:03:08.800 And I think most of the American public would be, too.
00:03:10.760 When you have a cop getting beat by a rioter, that's something that most people say that
00:03:16.060 should be something that's prosecuted by the federal government.
00:03:18.040 So I think, you know, the devil, I mean, you know, the details are really going to matter
00:03:22.480 here about who they end up focusing on, Nicole, about, you know, as they go about sort of
00:03:27.640 this ongoing purge of FBI leadership, and we'll see how far it's going to trickle down
00:03:32.160 into the rank and file of the FBI.
00:03:35.360 When you're talking about the scope of this, right, in every field office, you know, when
00:03:39.360 you do an arrest, for example, that's a lot of people who are just involved in that arrest
00:03:42.580 directly, right?
00:03:43.400 So, you know, there might be somebody who's actually handling this case, who's actually
00:03:46.760 championing one case going forward.
00:03:48.720 But then when you actually go to execute that arrest, you need a bunch of officials involved
00:03:51.820 in that.
00:03:52.280 So then, you know, when you're talking about the paperwork here, there's a lot of names
00:03:55.320 on a lot of these documents.
00:03:56.780 And then you're talking about the intelligence analysts who might have been involved with
00:04:00.080 it as well, because obviously everything has to be turned over in discovery.
00:04:03.500 So those are all names that would be required to be turned over to defense attorneys on this.
00:04:08.300 And when, you know, for example, let's take the case, one of the only ongoing cases involving
00:04:12.900 a January 6th defendant who actually was convicted of plotting to murder FBI agents who investigated
00:04:18.780 him.
00:04:19.080 And that was a jury in Tennessee that convicted him of that separately.
00:04:23.200 That case is still ongoing, although his defense attorney is representing that Donald
00:04:27.740 Trump's pardon should apply to that conduct as well, even though that was conduct that
00:04:31.520 was performed way after January 6th when he plotted to murder the FBI employees.
00:04:36.720 But that case, for example, just comes to mind because that involved, I remember, a large
00:04:40.140 number of FBI employees.
00:04:41.660 And when they turned over those documents, it was a lot of names that were associated with
00:04:45.600 that, because in the discovery process, you've got to turn all of those names over.
00:04:49.000 So even if there's only sort of a passing involvement in one of these cases, your name is going to
00:04:54.460 be on those documents.
00:04:55.540 So that list of people who were involved in January 6th cases at the FBI is really long.
00:05:01.400 He wanted to turn the FBI into a deep state museum.
00:05:05.360 If you wanted to do that, one of the steps you might consider is eliminating, quote, three
00:05:09.980 fourths of the bureau that touched January 6th cases.
00:05:12.980 Yeah, that would certainly help, wouldn't it?
00:05:15.940 And the timing is a little strange when when Patel hasn't been confirmed.
00:05:20.340 But look, just start with breath.
00:05:22.500 It is everything that Ryan says.
00:05:24.780 So if it's not three quarters, let's say it's just half.
00:05:27.280 But remember, 1500 people, they are still looking for some of them.
00:05:31.160 So the possibility for one agency or another to be tagged with serving a warrant or interviewing
00:05:37.840 a witness to try to find out all over the country with this investigation, the largest
00:05:44.300 in DOJ history is extreme.
00:05:46.260 But and by the way, if it's anything like this, the implications for us, for citizens of
00:05:54.720 20 special agents in charge being eliminated, all the things they do, public corruption for
00:06:01.000 starters, but street crime, everything.
00:06:02.920 So so the real it's a body blow to everybody in the country.
00:06:08.680 But I really want to say, even if the breadth were much smaller, as it seems to be in DOJ,
00:06:14.040 a single agent being fired because he or she did their job as they were supposed to do.
00:06:21.220 And in fact, here under the direction of the of the Department of Justice is just a complete
00:06:28.520 stake in the heart of what the FBI and DOJ are supposed to be about.
00:06:34.540 And it has.
00:06:35.500 It's not just those who get hurt, as Ryan reported.
00:06:39.140 And and I've spoken to people already within the FBI.
00:06:43.720 People are alarmed, completely nervous, wondering what to do.
00:06:48.360 So you'll have a whole workforce, even if it weren't half the FBI involved, that is completely
00:06:54.760 sort of frozen and paralyzed.
00:06:57.760 This is so short sighted and so damaging for public justice in general.
00:07:07.080 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:07:12.220 Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.
00:07:16.160 I got a free shot.
00:07:18.780 All these networks lying about the people.
00:07:21.780 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:07:23.760 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:07:25.200 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:07:27.800 It's going to happen.
00:07:29.080 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:07:32.480 Mega media.
00:07:33.880 I wish in my soul.
00:07:35.600 I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:07:39.260 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:07:42.400 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:07:49.420 War Room.
00:07:50.200 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:07:52.280 Baff.
00:07:56.160 It's Friday, 31 January, year of alert 2025.
00:07:59.100 This is why you got to take in four hours of War Room.
00:08:01.100 And even then, it's not enough.
00:08:02.760 Massively breaking news.
00:08:04.820 Across the board, we're about to drop 25% tariffs on both Canada and Mexico.
00:08:09.540 There is a—the Army, I think, is refusing to release the name of the pilot of the Black Hawk helicopter.
00:08:16.920 Jack Bissau, we're going to try to get him by phone.
00:08:19.800 I believe they're working on a proposal to cut all funding for Ukraine, everything, stop it full on.
00:08:25.940 So there's about a half a dozen major things in the works right now.
00:08:29.400 The biggest, though, and kind of a blockbuster, breathtaking, the Trump administration, through Emma Bovee, one of President Trump's lawyers, who now is number three in the Justice Department, is going like a sith through grass at the FBI.
00:08:46.500 Headquarters, field offices, all of it, related to January 6th investigation.
00:08:50.860 I want to bring in Julie Kelly by phone because it's breaking news.
00:08:54.820 We had a tough time tracking her down, but Julie stepped out of what she's doing to join us.
00:08:59.300 Julie, you have covered this for, I don't know, four years.
00:09:04.700 Tell me your thoughts when you see—I mean, this is actually bigger than we thought, earlier than we thought.
00:09:10.220 There was no studies, no commissions, no thinking about it.
00:09:13.440 Basically went through and said, you out, you out, you out.
00:09:16.520 And MSNBC, New York Times, are in full meltdown, ma'am.
00:09:23.680 I mean, this is the sort of thing I would dream about when I was covering J6 court proceedings and watching some of these FBI agents testify and lie, withhold evidence, make things up on the stand, get away with it.
00:09:40.200 And, of course, dating back to some of my coverage on Crossfire Hurricane, which I covered that as well, or seeing what was happening in both of Trump's—the two indictments against President Trump.
00:09:51.720 This is a dream.
00:09:53.040 It's like a fantasy, and it's hard to believe that it's actually happening.
00:09:57.600 And, yes, I have to commend Emil Boves, the president's attorney who represented him in both a document's case in Florida and Alvin Bragg's case in New York.
00:10:07.940 He has seen up close and personal the corruption of the DOJ and the FBI, and he is not wasting any time.
00:10:15.860 None of them are encouraging the FBI, not just of, you know, top officials on the seventh floor of the building, but it looks like the purge extends to at least 20 FBI field offices, including Miami, which, of course, participated in the armed nine-hour raid of Mar-a-Lago.
00:10:35.980 So I have a feeling this is just a start, but the idea that FBI agents and investigators are panicked across the country, good, because that's exactly what you've done to Americans, especially January 6th's defendants, for four years.
00:10:51.780 And now it's time for you to feel the pressure.
00:10:55.440 Ken Delanian of NBC News, he's their Justice Department, as you know, you've gone up against him.
00:11:05.220 He's kind of a comms director.
00:11:07.300 He's kind of the spokesmodel for the FBI.
00:11:10.360 He tweeted, well, I think last night, several top FBI executives promoted by Director Christopher Wray were told today to resign or retire and told they will be demoted or reassigned if they don't leave.
00:11:22.960 And then he just updated it.
00:11:24.840 The purge is bigger than first understood, we are told, and includes more than 20 heads of FBI field officers, including ones in Miami and Washington, D.C.
00:11:36.000 Go back.
00:11:36.740 You've followed this for years.
00:11:38.480 What's the problem with the FBI regarding this specific investigation, ma'am?
00:11:44.140 So it does involve, it appears the reporting says that it also involves agents who were involved in the January 6th investigation and prosecution.
00:11:55.020 And, Steve, this is something that FBI Director Christopher Wray often bragged about, that the J-6 investigation was the largest criminal investigation in DOJ history,
00:12:06.000 and that every single one of the 56 field officers across the country were involved in what was considered a domestic terror investigation and prosecution.
00:12:17.840 So contrary to what we heard, and very much respect Senator Grassley,
00:12:23.080 that the idea that the rot at the FBI is only contained to top FBI headquarters is simply not true.
00:12:34.320 Because you had armed agents terrorizing families and communities across the country with pre-dawn armed raids,
00:12:42.920 dragging people out of their homes, using bullhorns outside of their homes,
00:12:46.580 at 6 a.m., if you take a stand, right, and put everyone on notice,
00:12:52.540 this is what is going to happen if you come up against this regime
00:12:56.520 and interrogating these people, violating their constitutional rights,
00:13:01.400 dragging them in some cases over to the D.C. gulag where they were held and denied relief.
00:13:08.400 This is what the FBI has been doing for four years.
00:13:12.620 And, of course, we know what they've done to President Trump and his associates and his lawyers.
00:13:19.540 So now they're paying the price.
00:13:21.280 And I hope this is just the beginning of the purge,
00:13:25.400 but also represents the start of full investigation
00:13:28.840 and holding these FBI agents and these prosecutors liable for what they've done.
00:13:38.160 Julie, can you hang on one second?
00:13:39.900 I just want to hold you through a short commercial break.
00:13:41.660 Raheem Kwasam is going to join us.
00:13:43.120 Hopefully, I think we've tracked down Jack Posobiec.
00:13:46.260 We've got Philip Patrick from Birch Gold.
00:13:50.420 President Trump's throwing down on the bricks.
00:13:52.800 Natalie's going to join us, top of the hour from the White House,
00:13:55.460 to get response to all this, other inside scoops.
00:13:58.840 We're also going to talk about the Chinese Communist Party.
00:14:02.840 Not just TikTok, not just what else they're doing to technology with Deep Seek.
00:14:08.380 Also, they're building the world's largest military headquarters.
00:14:13.260 Don't know why they're doing that.
00:14:14.620 We want peace and prosperity, right?
00:14:16.480 All of it today in the war room.
00:14:19.360 We'll probably have a lot of other breaking news.
00:14:21.020 On a Friday afternoon, the White House is on fire.
00:14:25.940 Pretty amazing.
00:14:26.840 John Kahn.
00:14:27.480 John Kahn, who lost his house in Pacific Palisades,
00:14:29.480 Palisades is now just ash, made this amazing song.
00:14:33.320 The theme for the Tea Party, American Heart.
00:14:36.520 We're going to take a short commercial break.
00:14:38.680 We're going to return with more updates on the purge of the senior leadership
00:14:43.160 of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, next in the world.
00:14:47.480 Big victory on 5 November.
00:15:02.540 Now the work can finally start on the big issues facing the country.
00:15:06.120 One of the biggest is the national debt and the deficits that drive it.
00:15:11.160 Hey, you think the country's broke?
00:15:12.700 The country is broke.

00:16:30.220 Real America's Voice got a camera on the lawn as the president heads to Marine One.
00:16:35.840 And if he says anything, we're going to jump right to it.
00:16:38.700 Julie Kelly, this major purge.
00:16:41.440 Emil Boe, one of the president's lawyers, number three in the Justice Department.
00:16:47.360 He doesn't need to be confirmed.
00:16:49.360 He's over there kind of running the place before Pam Bondi.
00:16:53.480 Is he up?
00:16:54.900 Let's go ahead.
00:16:55.500 Do we have an audio?
00:16:56.400 Let's just do a split screen.
00:17:00.240 So, Julie, there's the president heading out.
00:17:03.820 Julie, talk to me about, and Poso's going to join us in a minute.
00:17:08.920 I think we don't have it in Denver yet.
00:17:11.200 But, Julie, Poso, as Jack Posovic's always succinct and to the point, he's got Nicole
00:17:17.800 Wallace in that cold open we just showed you, the opening, where she gets teared up and
00:17:21.240 talks about how big this purge is at the FBI.
00:17:24.540 And Jack Posovic says, you come for the king, you best not miss.
00:17:29.500 That's right.
00:17:30.760 That's where we are.
00:17:31.920 Go ahead, ma'am.
00:17:33.700 They never saw this coming.
00:17:34.740 I mean, they had reports after Donald Trump won.
00:17:38.680 Merrick Garland, everyone at DOJ, shocked.
00:17:41.900 People were crying.
00:17:43.540 FBI agents were preparing their resumes.
00:17:45.980 Prosecutors were dialing for defense attorneys because they know what they've done.
00:17:54.360 And there will be a voluminous paper trail.
00:17:58.420 We already saw some of it.
00:17:59.960 Senator Grassley talked yesterday about the opening of the investigation into President
00:18:04.860 Trump for January 6th and allegedly overturning the 2020 election.
00:18:10.440 So, Cash is going to have his hands full.
00:18:12.460 But he's going to have a lot of help, and he's going to have a lot fewer obstacles.
00:18:17.540 And I think that this is clearing the brush and moving aside the human barrier that is
00:18:24.960 so entrenched in the FBI, preventing Cash and his team from accessing all the evidence
00:18:32.100 that they need to potentially bring criminal charges against some of these agents, investigators,
00:18:37.160 and prosecutors.
00:18:37.700 Julie, speaking of Cash Patel, you saw yesterday they were coming after him, even some of the
00:18:44.000 Republicans, but the Democrats are off the chain.
00:18:48.200 The boldness of doing this before he's even had the committee hearing, much less the vote
00:18:52.460 on the floor, because I anticipate a firestorm of the Democrats.
00:18:57.200 I'd be very surprised they didn't go to the sticks here in the next half hour to hour to
00:19:02.120 condemn this.
00:19:02.980 Your thoughts, ma'am?
00:19:03.780 They absolutely will, because they're already portraying this as, of course, retaliation
00:19:09.180 and retribution.
00:19:10.680 These are career civil servants.
00:19:13.040 We can't get rid of these people.
00:19:14.720 They work on national security.
00:19:16.340 They keep our country safe, et cetera, et cetera.
00:19:19.040 No, they're not.
00:19:20.340 They have spent four years with Joint Terrorism Task Force, which now has also been reconfigured.
00:19:26.040 And the priority will be actually going after terrorists, not a 60-year-old grandmother from
00:19:33.280 Florida who walked in the Capitol.
00:19:35.320 So they are, of course, going to portray it as revenge and retaliation.
00:19:39.760 But again, I really do think this is a way for Imor Bov and others at the Department, James
00:19:44.320 McHenry, who is the acting attorney general, to clear the brush, get rid of these corrupt
00:19:50.340 individuals who are there as a bulwark against reform and accountability.
00:19:57.860 So at least Cash, when he is confirmed, won't have to take those steps.
00:20:02.400 They are being taken for him.
00:20:04.140 And then he could stay focused on what most Americans want.
00:20:07.340 And that is a major overhaul of the FBI and Department of Justice, reorganizing its priorities, shutting
00:20:17.140 down offices where necessary, and, you know, again, purging it of the people who have completely
00:20:24.160 decimated the American people's trust in the once most trusted institution in America.
00:20:30.580 Talk to me about the Justice Department overall.
00:20:39.320 Emil is also at work on the U.S. attorneys and some of the offices that have been most
00:20:45.400 problematic and also at Maine Justice.
00:20:48.920 Is he not, ma'am?
00:20:50.760 Correct.
00:20:51.320 So, first of all, Ed Martin, who is a longtime conservative activist, he was appointed acting
00:20:59.520 DCOS attorney.
00:21:00.620 He is wasting no time.
00:21:01.780 He opened an internal inquiry, and I have a report on my sub stack on this, into charging
00:21:07.140 decisions on that 1512C2 that was reversed by the Supreme Court in June, nonetheless, used
00:21:13.160 against 350 J6ers.
00:21:15.180 At least 100 went to prison for convictions of 1512C2.
00:21:20.960 Sorry, my dogs are going crazy.
00:21:22.460 So, he launched an internal inquiry into that, but also emailed both moving corrupt prosecutors
00:21:32.520 at DOJ, moving them to a newly formed unit, the Sanctuary Cities Enforcement Unit, taking
00:21:40.940 them out of Maine Justice, where they did political dirty work of the Democrats, moving them to the
00:21:47.660 Sanctuary Cities Enforcement Unit, where they were going to have to confront local and state
00:21:53.020 officials denying and violating federal immigration law.
00:21:58.220 At least one person, Corey Edmundson, I think is how you say his last name, who was reassigned
00:22:05.460 to this unit, he quit.
00:22:07.300 Instead of actually doing work on enforcing the nation's laws like prosecutors are supposed
00:22:14.200 to do, he threw a little hissy fit and quit, which is kind of one way to get rid of them.
00:22:20.000 But then, email both yesterday, as I said, opened this investigation into a Thompson's
00:22:25.480 County Sheriff, who was clouding a federal warrant for an illegal immigrant who has entered this
00:22:33.280 country legally five times and committed at least one other crime.
00:22:36.380 So, the DOJ is investigating that sheriff, but also he told a conference call yesterday
00:22:42.860 with all 93 U.S. attorneys, some who have already been replaced, but also notifying them
00:22:49.220 that line prosecutors also will be deployed to the border to enforce immigration law.
00:22:57.780 Julie Kelly, big day.
00:22:59.740 Pay off a lot of work of yours.
00:23:01.740 Where do people go to get all your sub stack, all your writings, social media, all of it?
00:23:06.380 Thank you, sir.
00:23:07.220 What an amazing two weeks, but what a tremendous day.
00:23:11.480 All my work can be found at my sub stack, you classified with Julie Kelly, and then, of
00:23:15.480 course, posted a lot of breaking news.
00:23:16.880 I'll be watching this over the weekend as well.
00:23:19.300 Julie underscore Kelly, too.
00:23:23.520 Julie, thank you very much.
00:23:24.880 Appreciate you.
00:23:26.100 Talk to you soon.
00:23:26.900 Rahim Ghazan, put this in perspective.
00:23:28.440 This is just not done.
00:23:29.560 Folks, you got to understand, if one of these had been done in justice in a term, this was
00:23:34.760 a big deal.
00:23:35.220 None of this got done.
00:23:36.380 The opposite got done in the Justice Department in the first term in Trump 45.
00:23:41.100 FBI was untouchable.
00:23:43.300 For people that know how the deep state and the administrative state work, what has happened
00:23:47.820 this afternoon is nothing short of shocking.
00:23:51.860 And you're going to see blowback here.
00:23:53.840 That's going to be pretty intense.
00:23:55.280 Rahim Ghazan, your thoughts and observations.
00:23:57.320 Yeah, Steve, good afternoon and good afternoon to the Warren Posse.
00:24:03.200 I think, like you say, the unprecedented nature of this is what's really rocking Washington,
00:24:08.720 D.C. to its core.
00:24:10.120 This evening, a lot of these people have gone through their lives thinking themselves as
00:24:14.420 made men, right?
00:24:16.220 In a very mafioso sense of the word.
00:24:18.820 And that is becoming undone in front of their eyes.
00:24:21.400 I think there is an element of this to consider as well, that this is the first step.
00:24:27.560 If you go in this hard, you're not actually – what you're showing is that you're going to
00:24:32.420 clear house entirely.
00:24:33.660 Because these are some of the most senior people we're talking about.
00:24:36.400 It's some of the people who are in charge of the persecution against President Trump over
00:24:40.960 the last four years.
00:24:42.220 And these are people who fundamentally thought that they would be shielded, masked, kept even
00:24:49.340 anonymous from the world's perspective and the world's scrutiny because they really didn't
00:24:56.040 think that President Trump would win a second term.
00:24:58.020 They thought they had all the tricks and tips in their book in order to keep him out for another
00:25:01.900 time.
00:25:02.780 And now the chickens are coming home to roost.
00:25:04.880 I think, again, I've said this pretty much every day since the beginning of this
00:25:10.340 administration is that they are going further and faster than anybody had possibly imagined.
00:25:17.000 I would include myself in that.
00:25:18.740 Perhaps in my greatest dreams in the world, we'd end up in this situation.
00:25:24.400 But you end up – you do end up in your mind compromising.
00:25:27.400 You do end up thinking, OK, there are going to be things they can do and can't do.
00:25:30.760 But this really goes to show that the next 18, 24 months for the globalists, for the far
00:25:37.620 left, for the entrenched political class in Washington, D.C., is going to be a meltdown
00:25:42.280 the likes of which we have never seen.
00:25:44.780 All the fun that was had in 2016, all the screaming video memes, all of the mashups of
00:25:50.880 Maddow, all of that will look like nothing in comparison to what's coming.
00:25:55.180 Let's talk about Trump and making those decisions.
00:25:59.840 I mean, even the people around here, they always talk about caution.
00:26:07.740 This is bold.
00:26:09.180 And this is sending a signal, as you said, that the purge here is going to go much deeper
00:26:14.480 if this is day one.
00:26:15.760 And cash is not even at a committee.
00:26:18.820 This is what I love about this.
00:26:20.440 This is a throwdown.
00:26:21.400 And this is Trump sending a signal to Capitol Hill.
00:26:24.520 I'm in charge.
00:26:25.620 This is the executive branch.
00:26:26.800 I'm in charge.
00:26:27.600 Your thoughts?
00:26:29.320 Yeah, now, I do think it's also related to what we saw yesterday, especially in that
00:26:34.500 committee, which was Cash Patel absolutely spanking them over and over again.
00:26:39.320 I mean, even even with kind of pithy one word ripostes in the moment, I was glued to my
00:26:45.960 television because, you know, people don't usually go to those committee hearings being
00:26:51.360 just so open and so honest and so upfront about who they are and what they've done in
00:26:56.660 their lives.
00:26:56.940 You know, everybody likes this kind of like, you know, a little narrative about me and
00:27:00.280 I'm going to take you over here and I'll take you over there.
00:27:02.340 But Cash was just very upfront.
00:27:03.820 And he was upfront on the questions of, you know, the last election as well.
00:27:07.540 He refused to bow to their attempted struggle session up there.
00:27:12.320 And I think what this is today, what you've seen is President Trump going, hey, you know,
00:27:17.120 what you saw yesterday was an appetizer.
00:27:19.580 So here's your main course.
00:27:21.540 I can't wait for dessert.
00:27:25.300 Raheem, where do people go to get National Pulse?
00:27:27.680 You're putting up great stuff all day long and through the night and also your social

00:30:02.560 We're trying to get Jack Posobiec up, and we're trying to track him down.
00:30:05.500 We'll get to him in a moment.
00:30:06.500 This is all breaking news.
00:30:07.680 Natalie Winters is at the White House, and Natalie has just sent me another blockbuster
00:30:13.320 piece of news.
00:30:14.300 I'm going to read it to you as it's coming across the wire.
00:30:18.660 The – I can't get rid of it.
00:30:21.600 Anyway, they've just announced they've fired.
00:30:23.760 President Trump has terminated all the J6 prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office in D.C.
00:30:32.920 I mean, this is a massive piece of news.
00:30:35.020 They've just – they've just fired all J6 federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C.'s U.S. Attorney's Office.
00:30:41.860 She's going to be with us at 6 o'clock, plus there's so much other stuff going on.
00:30:48.220 Let me go to – we're going to get Posobiec up in a second.
00:30:51.620 A big kind of resistance out of the U.S. Army about the pilot.
00:30:56.380 Also more on J6 and on particularly the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
00:31:01.860 Major purge today at the FBI.
00:31:04.760 The mainstream media is in full and total and complete meltdown on this.
00:31:09.840 Expect – I think you're going to see a press conference by the Democrats before too long.
00:31:13.300 The boldness of this.
00:31:14.220 I think President Trump saw the way cash was treated yesterday at the hearing and cash's pushback.
00:31:21.320 And he – I think he put a shot across the bow of the committee.
00:31:25.300 A little bit, hey, I dare you not to vote for cash.
00:31:27.880 I mean, this is bold.
00:31:29.700 Like I said, in the way Washington works, you remove one field office, that's huge.
00:31:33.720 Huge or one of the senior prosecutors in the Justice Department.
00:31:38.460 Huge.
00:31:38.920 Takes forever.
00:31:39.560 Huge.
00:31:40.620 This is, I mean, massive and impressive.
00:31:44.920 And there's more of this to come.
00:31:46.040 But if they didn't think he was going to deconstruct the administrative state and take down the deep state,
00:31:50.340 I think Donald John Trump, before he ends the second week of his second term,
00:31:56.620 has sent a signal to the imperial capital.
00:32:00.140 He is not messing around.
00:32:01.640 As he says, he's so fond of saying, we're not playing games here.
00:32:03.940 No games.
00:32:05.800 A couple other things, there's no games there.
00:32:07.100 Philip Patrick joins us.
00:32:08.800 philipbirchgold.com slash bannet.
00:32:11.880 You have to read the – get to the end of the dollar empire.
00:32:19.720 And you have to read modern monetary theory, the idea that broke the world.
00:32:24.620 Philip, we've got a special announcement.
00:32:25.800 We're going to talk about what we've done there because it's so important.
00:32:28.200 And tomorrow morning or tonight at midnight, Philip, unless there's a bump,
00:32:35.620 and I heard there may be some bump to march as there's some negotiations going on, some intense negotiations.
00:32:42.060 But he intends to put 25 percent tariffs on Mexico and 25 percent tariffs on Canada.
00:32:48.220 I mean this is a new economic model where he's saying, hey, we're the golden market.
00:32:53.560 If you're going to – I'm not putting a tariff on a tomato or an avocado.
00:32:57.540 I'm going to do it across the board because you're going to have to pay a premium price to get access to this market.
00:33:02.700 Your thoughts on this, the kind of new economic model of President Trump driven by duties, fees, and tariffs, sir.
00:33:13.400 Listen, I think enforcing tariffs, creating new tariffs is going to be very important, right?
00:33:18.020 We have to balance trade deficits.
00:33:20.180 We have to ensure equitable contributions from foreign entities that are benefiting from U.S. economic or military support
00:33:28.160 and basically use tariffs to ensure a mechanism for fair trade.
00:33:33.120 But we have to understand, and I know you do well, the scale of the problem, right?
00:33:38.900 So let's look at best-case scenario with tariffs.
00:33:41.800 Assuming no changes in imports, 10 percent global tariff on everything,
00:33:47.440 25 percent tariff on Canadian and Mexican goods, that generates about $520 billion a year.
00:33:53.880 Now let's add a 60 percent tariff on everything coming in from China.
00:33:58.720 That's another $300 billion a year, so a total of $820 billion.
00:34:04.020 Now, that's a huge amount of money and would do something in sort of closing the deficit.
00:34:09.820 But, you know, we also have to factor in that there is a downside to tariffs.
00:34:15.160 First of all, as we know, they raise consumer prices, right?
00:34:18.520 That's no way around that.
00:34:20.240 But the bigger problem, I think, with tariffs is regarding revenue generation, right,
00:34:25.380 is that they lead to retaliation.
00:34:27.960 Since World War II, the global economy has become very intertwined.
00:34:31.640 So look at some of the tariffs that Trump put on China back in 2016, right?
00:34:36.160 They led to retaliation that affected the American farming industry.
00:34:40.520 And essentially, for every dollar we generated in revenue, we ended up giving back 90 cents in terms of subsidies.
00:34:46.600 So as a revenue generator, they're not that big.
00:34:50.760 What they are very effective at is boosting domestic manufacturing.
00:34:56.920 That's really effective.
00:34:58.740 The tariffs that Trump put on China back in 2016 led to a huge increase in factory construction here in the United States,
00:35:06.740 up about 250 percent.
00:35:09.000 The problem being that's a long-term plan, right?
00:35:12.340 That took seven to 10 years.
00:35:14.240 So I'm getting a little bit concerned that we're not going to be capable of collecting enough revenue without severe consequences for consumer prices or for global trade.
00:35:26.820 And it all boils down to the ability to maintain deficit spending.
00:35:31.100 So listen, it's encouraging, and it's a reflection of the position we're in.
00:35:35.080 They'll generate some revenue, but they're not going to plug that gap.
00:35:38.560 And that's what we need to do right now.
00:35:40.800 Hey, Philip, birchgold.com slash Bannon, end of the dollar empire.
00:35:46.780 Also, how do you invest in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump, in the Trump second term?
00:35:53.600 Philip, hang on one second, because I got posted by phone.
00:35:55.880 He's got to bounce.
00:35:57.480 Jack, purge of the FBI, purge going on on the J6 prosecutors in the D.C. office.
00:36:03.520 All of them are terminated as of today.
00:36:06.120 Your thoughts, sir?
00:36:06.920 Well, Steve, the only thing that comes to mind first is you come at the king, you best not miss.
00:36:15.840 Look, this is something that President Trump promised that he would do every single step of the way on this campaign.
00:36:24.020 Every single campaign stop he did, every single interview he did, he said that he will end the lawfare.
00:36:31.860 And ending the lawfare does not necessarily just mean that you're going to post strongly worded letters or trying to reform things or trying to pass a new policy.
00:36:43.360 It means personnel.
00:36:45.360 Personnel is policy.
00:36:47.440 And so the politicization ends by getting rid of it, politicized it in the first place.
00:36:54.020 It's as simple as that.
00:36:56.340 And anyone who touched these cases or participated in this is going to be completely tainted by it and has already been completely tainted.
00:37:05.080 So what he's doing is he's removing the problem to restore the confidence of the FBI in the American people.
00:37:13.920 Because if this process, which was completely voted for by the American voter, this process of reforming these institutions, which is the change agenda that President Trump promised the American people, it must be done because this was the will of the people.
00:37:33.240 Everyone remembers that it was the raid on Mar-a-Lago that completely changed the trajectory of the race.
00:37:39.080 It was the lawfare that changed the trajectory of the race.
00:37:41.780 He was way ahead even before the assassination attempt.
00:37:45.980 And it was that very persecution of Donald Trump, the man, that led to the assassination attempt in the first place and the second one, by the way, in September.
00:37:57.140 This is what the American people voted for.
00:37:59.380 And it's something very simple.
00:38:01.040 It's called the Iron Law of Reciprocity.
00:38:04.160 I wrote an entire book about this last year.
00:38:06.100 That which was done to us must be done back in order to restore the balance.
00:38:13.320 That is the basic underpinning of a functioning society and a functioning civilization, that you must restore balance.
00:38:21.400 One tier of justice.
00:38:23.380 Not two tiers.
00:38:24.520 Not three tiers.
00:38:25.840 One tier.
00:38:26.840 And if people have been caught going beyond then, then they need to face the consequences.
00:38:32.180 They will not be stopped until they're stopped.
00:38:34.840 Talk to me about you and I were all over these things yesterday, the confirmation errors.
00:38:40.540 Talk to me because Cash has talked about this.
00:38:43.620 They lit him up yesterday.
00:38:44.880 He's talked about it for four years.
00:38:46.640 He's one of the leaders of this movement, particularly a leader on the deep state side.
00:38:51.980 The Government Gangster is the film.
00:38:53.340 You can go to warroomfilms.com right now and check it out.
00:38:56.220 Download it and watch it.
00:38:58.040 You'll see Cash in action.
00:38:59.300 Tell me about the boldness of Trump doing this this afternoon when Cash kind of got lit up yesterday.
00:39:06.940 He fought back hard, but they were lighting him up.
00:39:09.460 And they haven't voted.
00:39:10.900 The committee itself hasn't voted.
00:39:13.000 Forget going to the floor.
00:39:14.680 I mean, Schumer and these guys right now got to be in full absolute meltdown, Jack Posobiec.
00:39:19.000 Well, Steve, that's exactly what's happening.
00:39:21.900 Look, those guys, they take all of their marching orders from MSNBC and the brain trust that you see across there.
00:39:28.120 So Ken Delaney, and that was the first shot last night that we knew that something was going to be coming.
00:39:33.340 But obviously what happened now is bigger than I think even any of them anticipated.
00:39:38.700 And so, yes, the Democrats are going to be in free-for-all.
00:39:43.660 The Democrats are going to be having wall-to-wall meltdowns, absolute soy eruptions going off across.
00:39:52.000 By the way, not just the Democrats in the Congress, the Democrats in the Senate, but the same Democrats and the same liberals that have been appointed in place all across the FBI and all across those officials.
00:40:05.300 Look, Miranda Devine had the story an entire year ago in the New York Post about the type of people that Chris Wray was recruiting, the type of people that he was appointing.
00:40:14.720 And it's just an absolute rogues gallery of the wokest of the woke liberals, anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, anti-conservative, and in many cases, even, yes, anti-Catholic, as we saw in communities that are not far from where my Catholic family attends and worships at Mass every single Sunday.
00:40:35.580 And so, when we see this, President Trump is taking decisive action, even when I'm sure, I'm sure, by the way, those who are a bit more fair-hearted would not be willing to go forward and do what needs to be done.
00:40:50.900 They would say, hold on, Mr. President.
00:40:52.880 They'd say, wait, let's get all our ducks in a row, and you know what would happen, Steve, just like the president said about these reports that they wait years and years to happen.
00:41:00.280 They want to try to slow walk in.
00:41:02.620 There's been this push, and Steve, you and I talked about it a couple of weeks ago.
00:41:06.120 They've been trying to go for MAGA-lite.
00:41:08.340 You know, we're going to have MAGA-lite.
00:41:10.080 We're going to do some of these things.
00:41:11.680 We're going to secure the border, but that's it.
00:41:13.740 We're going to secure the border, and there's going to be money for AI, and we're not going to do any of those other things.
00:41:17.740 Well, you know something?
00:41:18.520 President Trump just told the entire world that it's not going to be MAGA-lite.
00:41:23.220 It is going to be the full MAGA, the full force of the American people.
00:41:27.940 Well, every single promise that was made on the campaign trail must be kept because that is the sacred oath that he took when he stood up for the vote on November 5th.
00:41:38.320 That's what this is about, and no, he's not going to stand around waiting for the FBI.
00:41:43.320 Look what they did to him in the first administration, not even during the campaign.
00:41:46.340 Go back all the way to the first administration.
00:41:48.180 All of their work, Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, and I saw you on his show the other day, Michael Flynn lying to him in the confines of the White House itself within the first days of the administration.
00:41:59.760 No.
00:42:00.140 President Trump is doing absolutely what he needs to do, and he's doing it absolutely when he needed to do it.
00:42:07.340 I know you've got to bounce.
00:42:08.620 One last thing, though.
00:42:09.360 The Army will not release the name of the helicopter pilot.
00:42:12.480 When did the Army have the option of not doing that, sir?
00:42:14.820 Steve, I'm perplexed on this, and even the New York Times called it unprecedented.
00:42:20.800 This is an extraordinary step.
00:42:22.860 This is something that – look, this is a soldier who died in the line of duty.
00:42:25.920 I'm not familiar with soldiers who die in the line of duty not having their names released to the American people.
00:42:31.920 And furthermore, this is someone who was involved in a major incident that led to an extreme loss of life.
00:42:39.580 And we're talking – children were killed here.
00:42:41.700 Children were killed in this incident.
00:42:43.340 Okay, stars – in some cases, entire families were wiped out.
00:42:47.240 And so there's a huge community of people that is trying to figure out what happened, and they do deserve answers.
00:42:52.980 Now, I can understand making sure that the family gets informed first, and I can understand that.
00:42:59.260 But there's a responsibility.
00:43:01.460 Look, this is the most transparent administration.
00:43:03.280 And so if the Army is having issues with that, hopefully those can be resolved, because this is something where everyone in the country needs and deserves to know exactly what happened that fateful day.
00:43:17.420 Jack Veselbeck, Twitter, where do people go on social media to get you?
00:43:21.720 Look, we'll be up on X all night as more news of this continues.
00:43:27.020 Of course, Human Events Daily, you get the podcast, if you miss anything, you catch it right there.
00:43:32.780 Folks, it's going to be flooded with news tonight.
00:43:35.280 Get it all over our social media.
00:43:36.820 All of us will be up.
00:43:37.620 This is going to be an intense night in the imperial capital, and I think throughout the rest of the world, as President Trump is going to be dropping some bombs.
00:43:45.880 Jack, thank you.
00:43:47.280 Talk about other promises.
00:43:48.700 Tariffs are coming.
00:43:49.560 A new economic model.
00:43:50.700 Philip Patrick next.
00:43:51.780 I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.
00:43:58.140 First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:44:02.660 This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet.
00:44:10.980 Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author,
00:44:17.680 is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:44:23.840 In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move.
00:44:31.740 If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA,
00:44:38.660 the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:44:41.960 I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:44:48.160 Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine,
00:44:51.160 has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming
00:44:54.900 and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.
00:45:00.660 Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past.
00:45:05.920 Go to RickardsWarRoom.com.
00:45:08.280 That's RickardsWarRoom.com now to see the video.
00:45:11.960 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:45:17.740 Okay, Philip Patrick Birchko, we said times of turbulence.
00:45:21.000 These are 25% tariffs, and this is not some marginal, folks,
00:45:25.580 this is not some marginal country that we, you know, don't really have a trading relationship with.
00:45:30.540 Like even something like Great Britain, we don't import a lot, right?
00:45:34.700 This is Mexico and Canada.
00:45:37.980 Only China's bigger.
00:45:39.240 So 25% tariffs.
00:45:41.700 And look, I'm hearing it might be move 30 days to March, maybe some negotiations.
00:45:48.460 But right now, the stroke of midnight, Philip Patrick, 25%.
00:45:52.920 And this is a new economic model.
00:45:54.360 He doesn't look at tariffs as tariffs.
00:45:56.160 He looks at them as external revenue.
00:45:57.940 You've made the point about it's for something else is to bring manufacturing back.
00:46:02.160 But it's a new economic model, and he's implementing it.
00:46:06.960 He's pulling the trigger.
00:46:08.560 This is why I say in times of turbulence, you need to – people need to look at the alternative of precious metals.
00:46:13.220 Just do.
00:46:13.840 You're going to need a hedge.
00:46:15.860 And you should assume – there's 10 other actions that are happening tonight that hopefully we're going to get to in the next hour.
00:46:22.200 But President Trump, these are days of thunder.
00:46:24.860 He's dropping bomb after bomb after bomb after bomb, sir.
00:46:29.960 He is.
00:46:30.520 You said in the break he's a savage, and it's exactly what we need, OK?
00:46:35.480 We've been dealing with the opposite of that for the last four years.
00:46:38.260 But, listen, tariffs are going to have ripple effects throughout the economy.
00:46:42.840 If I'm a Canadian or a Mexican at the moment, I'm worried, right?
00:46:45.940 It could send both Canada and Mexico into depression.
00:46:49.900 And they are two of our three biggest trading partners, as you mentioned a moment ago.
00:46:55.200 Part of it lies on them, right?
00:46:57.080 They're not diversified economically.
00:46:59.300 They made a mistake, I think, of creating deep ties with a single trading partner.
00:47:03.660 When our needs change, what are we supposed to do?
00:47:06.200 Take care of them or take care of ourselves?
00:47:08.800 And that's what we're doing.
00:47:10.300 It's protectionism, and it's what we need to do.
00:47:12.840 Now, there's going to be huge ripple effects throughout the global economy.
00:47:17.080 I can't even begin to imagine what's going to change.
00:47:20.240 That's one major reason I think right now there is unprecedented demand for gold and silver.
00:47:26.480 But even those markets are getting affected.
00:47:29.380 Leasing costs are going crazy on the back of tariff fears.
00:47:33.140 There's concerns now.
00:47:34.520 Half of our silver comes from Mexico.
00:47:37.840 We could see that alone driving prices up.
00:47:40.800 So we're seeing volatility, but it's time we started looking after ourselves.
00:47:45.380 And I think we need a new economic model.
00:47:47.980 So we'll see how it shapes out.
00:47:49.940 We'll see how much revenue we can generate.
00:47:52.240 But we need new ideas.
00:47:54.440 And now we have them.
00:47:55.800 So three or four years ago, when we first started with Birch Gold, Philip and I talked through.
00:48:01.580 We said, look, we want to teach the audience or give an access to people that haven't had a chance to maybe go to college and specialize in economics or get a postgraduate degree, MBA, or degree in finance or somebody that's in finance.
00:48:15.560 We want to teach them global capital markets and global economics.
00:48:18.740 So therefore, they will understand power better.
00:48:20.560 In the end of the dollar empire, I think the second or third free installment was about the bricks.
00:48:27.780 And when I'm so proud of this audience, our audience knows so much about the bricks.
00:48:31.320 And you talk to other people, it's like, what's a brick?
00:48:33.260 Look, President Trump knows what it is.
00:48:36.020 He put out a true social last night, folks, and I put it up on Getter.
00:48:39.940 It is brutal.
00:48:41.020 And if we've talked about this for three years and have trained you guys up, it's about the end of the dollar empire and getting to an alternative bricks with some sort of gold back.
00:48:49.840 President Trump said, yo, I know some bricks nations are there because he's dealing with them all the time.
00:48:54.600 He said, yo, if you even think about getting off the dollar system, if you think even creating a new currency, 100 percent tariffs on all your goods.
00:49:06.640 Philip Patrick, that is a shot across the bow, is it not, sir?
00:49:11.540 It's a shot across the bow.
00:49:13.020 And I'm glad that we're getting that rhetoric.
00:49:15.800 The previous administration referred to the bricks de-dollarizing as a natural desire to diversify.
00:49:23.000 They didn't understand the level of the problem.
00:49:25.780 President Trump does, right?
00:49:27.560 He understands that the bricks are major exporters, movers, and shakers in global trade.
00:49:33.320 Any move away from the dollar essentially just reduces American global influence and financial dominance.
00:49:40.500 So over the last two years, as we know, bricks membership have already begun the process of sort of weaning themselves off a dollar, signing bilateral trade deals that bypass the dollar as an intermediary currency.
00:49:52.440 And this is where I'm getting a little bit concerned.
00:49:56.980 Look, President Trump has to do something, right?
00:50:00.120 But where I'm getting a little bit concerned is one third, one in every three of our U.S. dollars that the government borrows comes from foreign nations, right?
00:50:09.920 Even after selling off billions of dollars, China's still our number two creditor, right?
00:50:14.740 What's becoming clear is that we need more foreign creditors.
00:50:19.920 And that's where I wonder the effectiveness of the threats, right?
00:50:24.460 When trade wars heat up, in my mind, why would a nation that we're punishing with 25%, 60% or 100% tariffs keep lending us money, right?
00:50:35.240 The concern here is that threats simply reinforce the perception that the dollar is a yoke and nations may be better off not wearing it.
00:50:44.460 The second side of it, and this is where I think President Trump's really restricted, Biden's dollar weaponization has already caused major moves, right?
00:50:54.740 Russia went through a severe recession and they've come out the other side.
00:50:59.360 Why are they going to undo all of that hard work, bilateral trade deals, treaties, building a non-dollar-based global trade network when they know that Trump's only going to be in office for four years?
00:51:12.140 Listen, it's taken Russia nine years to decouple from the dollar, essentially since the annexation of Crimea.
00:51:18.740 They really don't have an incentive to go back, right?
00:51:23.180 In my mind, threats won't do it, right?
00:51:26.540 The only thing that will is making the dollar a better choice for trade, and that we're going to have to do by addressing deficits and getting our debt under control.
00:51:35.660 So, listen, it's a starting point.
00:51:38.160 The administration know how serious an issue it is, but I think the tools we have at this point are limited.
00:51:47.160 Where do they go?
00:51:48.860 I'm going to talk tomorrow about this new offer we're doing on the end of the dollar empire, but people want to talk to you.
00:51:54.180 I can tell in the chats they're lit up.
00:51:56.200 Where do they go to talk to Philip Patrick and the team about gold as a hedge in times of turbulence, sir?
00:52:02.160 It's really simple.
00:52:03.360 Birchgold.com forward slash Bannon.

00:52:17.200 and a very good report on how and why to buy gold under a Trump administration.
00:52:23.700 So, Birchgold.com forward slash Bannon.
00:52:26.660 Just get the information.
00:52:28.660 It's fantastic stuff.

00:52:42.160 He's talking about bricks and warning them about the end of the dollar empire.
00:52:47.020 You, the audience, have had three or four years now to understand this and join it because of our partnership with Birchgold.
