Bannon's War Room - Episode 5065： Using Local Sheriffs To Save The States; Trump Policies Spearhead Economic Growth

00:00:00.000 Local school kids in Minneapolis, en masse, walking out of their school to tell Trump's

00:00:05.440 federal agents to leave them alone and get out of their town. 0.66

00:00:10.880 Tonight, we're going to talk about what Minnesotans are doing to try to protect their schools,

00:00:15.440 forming human chains around Minnesota public schools at pick up and drop off.

00:00:20.580 The Wall Street Journal reporting this weekend on a surge in, quote, volunteers, many of

00:00:24.920 them moms already involved in their schools, using Google Docs to divvy up tasks such as 0.99

00:00:31.120 delivering groceries to immigrant families.

00:00:34.160 Volunteers are on hand at drop off and pick up at schools with whistles to blow in case

00:00:39.000 ICE agents show up.

00:00:41.440 The Immigrant Defense Network telling The Washington Post that they have trained about 2,000 people

00:00:46.800 total to be ICE observers in the Twin Cities.

00:00:50.300 About 2,000 people total.

00:00:51.520 But then the day after ICE killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, they got a huge surge.

00:00:56.660 They had 354 people show up in one day, the very next day, to be trained to be ICE observers.

00:01:06.620 354 people showed up in one day. 1.00

00:01:21.520 F**k for s**k for s**k for s**k for s**king. 1.00

00:01:48.220 You're not prooing your last!

00:01:50.240 I'm going to do the law.

00:01:52.240 Go, go, go, go, go.

00:01:55.240 No, no, no.

00:01:57.240 Get the .

00:01:59.240 Get the .

00:02:01.240 Get back.

00:02:03.240 Get back.

00:02:07.240 Get back.

00:02:09.240 Get some people in the blood.

00:02:11.240 Get back.

00:02:13.240 Get back.

00:02:15.240 Get back.

00:02:17.240 Get back.

00:02:19.240 Get up my police door.

00:02:21.240 I'm disabled.

00:02:22.240 I'm trying to go to the doctor up there.

00:02:23.240 That's why I can't move.

00:02:25.240 Get back now.

00:02:27.240 Get back. 0.99

00:02:29.240 You're terrible. 0.99

00:02:31.240 Don't just get away this person. 0.99

00:02:33.240 I'm trying to go to the doctor.

00:02:35.240 Does this make you feel strong?

00:02:37.240 Young man.

00:02:39.240 Let her go. 0.99

00:02:41.240 Stop.

00:02:43.240 This is your duty.

00:02:45.240 Why don't you help that .

00:02:48.240 Help that .

00:02:50.240 Why don't you help someone?

00:02:52.240 All you do is hurt.

00:02:54.240 All you do is hurt.

00:02:56.240 All you do is hurt.

00:02:58.240 She's trying to drive down the street.

00:03:02.240 Where is the law?

00:03:04.240 The mayor saying, quote, Donald Trump should know that as long as federal agents are in our city acting unconstitutionally against our neighbors, we will continue to push back with everything we've got.

00:03:22.240 Here are Democratic members of Congress turning up at the local ICE detention facility, the local ICE jail in Minnesota, demanding to be let in because as members of Congress, they are allowed by law to inspect any federal facility like that at any time with no notice.

00:03:38.240 But these members of Congress were nevertheless turned away.

00:03:41.240 Today, democracy forward went to court to force ICE and force the Trump administration to let those members of Congress in because that, in fact, is the law.

00:03:50.240 And again, if they were hoping that their shambolic and chaotic violence would dissuade Americans from standing up to them.

00:04:02.240 Well, they do not understand Americans. 0.63

00:04:04.240 They do not understand how we are wired.

00:04:06.240 It is having the opposite effect.

00:04:09.240 We're given 90 day notices to places like California, Scott.

00:04:13.240 Right away, we're going to send out that notice.

00:04:16.240 Who would bill the federal government as people poured into the state to send those people back because no country can afford to do it.

00:04:23.240 No country can afford to take in millions of people, pay for their education, their health care, their hospitals.

00:04:31.240 You just can't do it.

00:04:33.240 And we all have a heart.

00:04:35.240 You can't do it.

00:04:36.240 But many of those people are murderers.

00:04:38.240 They're people released from jails, prisons, mental institutions, insane asylums.

00:04:43.240 They're people that are drug dealers. 0.78

00:04:46.240 They're addicts.

00:04:47.240 Additionally, starting February 1st, we're not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens.

00:05:00.240 And it breeds fraud and crime and all of the other problems that come.

00:05:04.240 So we're not making any payment to anybody that supports sanctuary cities.

00:05:09.240 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:05:18.240 Pray for our enemies.

00:05:20.240 Because we're going medieval on these people.

00:05:22.240 Here's one time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:05:27.240 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:05:29.240 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:05:30.240 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that.

00:05:33.240 But you're not going to stop it.

00:05:34.240 It's going to happen.

00:05:35.240 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:05:38.240 Mega Media.

00:05:39.240 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:05:45.240 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:05:49.240 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:05:55.240 War Room.

00:05:56.240 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.

00:06:02.240 It's Tuesday, 13 January.

00:06:04.240 Year of our Lord, 2026.

00:06:06.240 Thank you for coming to the afternoon, late afternoon, early evening edition.

00:06:09.240 Now you know the early evening edition on Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

00:06:13.240 The 6 o'clock show is War Room, Texas.

00:06:16.240 And we're going to have a great crowd there tonight.

00:06:18.240 A great group of people.

00:06:19.240 Don't want to miss that.

00:06:20.240 About the Islamic takeover, the great state of Texas. 0.99

00:06:23.240 But I want to start first.

00:06:25.240 Rachel Maddow is telling you, you see how unctuous she is. 1.00

00:06:28.240 She's all puffed up, up there in that barn, making that $20 million a year. 1.00

00:06:32.240 What we Americans, she doesn't understand we Americans.

00:06:35.240 Lady, you are trying to protect 15 to 20 million illegal alien invaders, 1.00

00:06:42.240 who are certainly not Americans, to stay inside this country. 0.98

00:06:46.240 And you're trying to stop federal officials from performing their tasks under the Constitution.

00:06:51.240 We played the cold open this morning.

00:06:53.240 All these lawsuits that the mayor of Minneapolis has and Walls has, who are all going to go to prison for the scams they've got in bed with the Somalians, 0.99

00:07:03.240 including the Attorney General Ellison.

00:07:06.240 You're all up to your neck in it.

00:07:09.240 You're going to tell Americans, you're going to tell hardworking patriotic Americans and law enforcement and ICE agents.

00:07:15.240 Oh, they don't understand how we Americans are.

00:07:19.240 You're instigating.

00:07:20.240 I don't know why we're not rolling up MSNBC.

00:07:22.240 Oh, excuse me.

00:07:23.240 ShamWow.

00:07:24.240 The new, it's a new name is ShamWow.

00:07:26.240 That's the news.

00:07:27.240 It was an MS now ShamWow.

00:07:29.240 Remember that guy that had the chamois giving you a shine on the hood of your car?

00:07:36.240 The ShamWow network is instigating violence against federal.

00:07:40.240 You see that clip right there?

00:07:42.240 We could have played hours of that type of stuff.

00:07:44.240 Sheriff Mack joins me.

00:07:46.240 Sheriff, when I have these questions about law enforcement,

00:07:49.240 you're one of the first people I turn to.

00:07:51.240 What are federal agents supposed to do?

00:07:53.240 And what recommendation would you give to the president of the United States?

00:07:56.240 Now, he's going to cut them off on the one February.

00:07:59.240 No money there.

00:08:00.240 Before that, on 20 January, if we head down this path,

00:08:03.240 the radical Democrats are going to try to shut down ICE by defunding it.

00:08:08.240 And so I think we're going to a government shutdown.

00:08:11.240 But that's fine.

00:08:12.240 That's fine.

00:08:13.240 The on one February, the president just said he's not going to send any any more cash to these sanctuary cities.

00:08:20.240 You've had this problem in Arizona where sanctuary sees all of it.

00:08:23.240 What's your recommendation to the president of the United States of what actually ought to happen here, sir?

00:08:28.240 Well, first of all, the sheriffs in those major cities.

00:08:32.240 I mean, look at Chicago.

00:08:34.240 It's Cook County.

00:08:35.240 Sheriff Dart is the sheriff there.

00:08:37.240 He's been completely silent.

00:08:39.240 And if the sheriffs in Portland and Los Angeles and Chicago and Minneapolis would stand up and say,

00:08:46.240 Our job is to keep the peace and protect people from crime.

00:08:51.240 Getting rid of criminals that were brought in during the Biden administration is what we're supposed to be doing.

00:08:57.240 These sheriffs should be showing a lot more leadership instead of standing on the sidelines.

00:09:03.240 So I would recommend also most of the sheriffs in this country support Trump.

00:09:09.240 And I if I were Trump, I would right now if I was sitting right next to him.

00:09:14.240 In fact, I would love to help him with this.

00:09:17.240 Invite the sheriffs of those areas and especially the surrounding counties to come to his office and come up with a game plan to help DHS and ICE.

00:09:30.240 I've already talked to Tom Holman about this several times and get these sheriffs on board.

00:09:36.240 A lot of these sheriffs are already in 287 G training.

00:09:41.240 I've talked to these sheriffs.

00:09:42.240 They want to help.

00:09:44.240 And the states are now trying to go after the sheriffs.

00:09:47.240 We just got back from Washington State where the sheriffs are being sued, being attacked by their own governors and their own AGs.

00:09:56.240 A.G. Brown is suing Sheriff Wagner in Adams County because he's trying to help ICE get rid of criminals out of his county.

00:10:06.240 And the AG is actually showing his lawlessness and his ignorance in going after the sheriff that's trying to go after criminals.

00:10:15.240 And so I believe that.

00:10:17.240 Hang on a second.

00:10:18.240 Hang on.

00:10:19.240 Hang on.

00:10:20.240 Hang on.

00:10:21.240 Hang on.

00:10:22.240 Hang on.

00:10:23.240 Hang on.

00:10:24.240 Hang on.

00:10:25.240 Hang on.

00:10:26.240 Hang on.

00:10:27.240 Hang on.

00:10:36.240 Hang on.

00:10:37.240 Hang on.

00:10:39.240 Hang on.

00:10:41.240 Hang on.

00:10:42.240 Hang on.

00:10:44.240 Yes, that's exactly correct. 100% correct. And we just had, General Flynn and I were at a meeting

00:10:53.220 there at a big rally, standing room only at the Experience Church in Puyallup, right outside

00:10:59.160 Tacoma. And the sheriffs are at a loss what to do. So we were trying to give them some direction

00:11:05.840 and let them know they're doing the right thing. And Sheriff Bob Songer says, I don't care what

00:11:11.640 the AG does. I'm going to continue to help ICE, Sheriff Schwank in Pierce County, second largest

00:11:19.540 county in Washington State. Same thing. But Washington State is the worst state in the union

00:11:26.100 for destroying the office of sheriff, attacking the sheriff, and defending the criminals that

00:11:32.920 invaded our country in the first place. How can you, when you look at Washington,

00:11:38.320 you look at Minneapolis, I mean, it's no doubt it's chaos and anarchy because the people that

00:11:44.100 are breaking the law, the illegal aliens are here, but the Rachel Maddow's of the world and all these 0.60

00:11:49.080 people put the kids, they're using kids as human shields around the schools. I mean, what then is

00:11:54.580 to be done? What can the sheriffs actually do when you have American citizens that are actively breaking 0.99

00:12:00.100 the law and trying to instigate more violence, sir? Well, the sheriffs and his deputy should be there

00:12:06.120 with those ICE agents and they should be defending those ICE agents and working with them. The sheriff's

00:12:11.160 office and the deputies should be clearing those streets for ICE and providing safety and security

00:12:17.420 for and backup for their fellow police officers from the federal government. Look, the Constitution

00:12:27.020 clearly delegates to the federal government protecting our borders from invasion. And in Article 1,

00:12:35.360 Section 8, the laws of naturalization. And so, of course, this is a federal issue and the states are trying

00:12:42.460 to say, oh, it's unconstitutional. What's unconstitutional? Show me the provision in the Constitution

00:12:48.220 that shows that ICE is outside the Constitution. You guys are crazy. You're liars. This is exactly what 0.99

00:12:56.060 the problem that Biden dumped on everybody's lap. And now these horrible blue states want to join in

00:13:05.120 and do and double down on it. Can you believe that there are law enforcement officials doing this

00:13:11.380 in Minneapolis and other states? I cannot believe it.

00:13:14.420 We've got about a minute. Real quickly, what's your recommendation to the president about this

00:13:20.480 conference you want to have or this group of sheriffs you want to go back to advise him? What would you

00:13:24.560 recommend to the president? Because he'll see this clip.

00:13:27.180 I can give him the list of the sheriffs in these areas to get invited to the White House, get them on

00:13:32.520 board, send them back, and let's create peace and tranquility in these areas where you're seeing this mob

00:13:40.820 violence. Supported by governors and mayors and others. It's unbelievable.

00:13:49.680 Sheriff, where do people get you?

00:13:53.760 What's your website? What's your social media? Where do people go get you?

00:13:58.760 CSPOA, Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association. There's our website.

00:14:02.860 Call me. Email me. Please give me, give the president and his staff my number. I'll be happy to come out.

00:14:13.760 Sheriff Mack, we need you now more than ever, you and the constitutional sheriffs, because we're

00:14:17.560 hurtling folks to a constitutional crisis. They all got to go. All 15 to 20 million of them got to go.

00:14:23.820 Got to go. So, Rachel Maddow and your crew, suck on that, baby. 1.00

00:14:33.500 Short commercial break. 0.99

00:14:34.780 Philip Patrick's going to be here. President Trump at the Detroit Economic Club moments ago

00:14:39.840 gave a very powerful speech on the state of the economy.

00:14:43.540 E.J. and Tony's going to be with us. Philip Patrick is going to be with us.

00:14:46.460 Please stick around. You're in the afternoon and early evening edition of The War Room.

00:14:59.900 There's a lot of politicians that should be getting coal in their stockings for Christmas, 0.99

00:15:03.960 but Birch Gold thinks as a smart planner, you deserve silver. That's why for every $5,000 you

00:15:11.880 purchase between now and December 22nd, Birch Gold will send you an ounce of silver free.

00:15:19.640 Remember, silver is up over 60% this year and over $60 an ounce. You see, smart people diversify

00:15:28.500 and have a hedge. That's why I encourage you to buy gold from Birch Gold. With the rate cuts from

00:15:33.940 the Fed in 2026, the dollar will be worth less. And what happens if the AI bubble burst?

00:15:39.340 Diversify. Let Birch Gold Group help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA

00:15:48.160 in physical gold. Let me repeat that. Physical gold. And for every $5,000 you buy, you'll get an

00:15:55.580 ounce of silver for your stocking or for your kids. What a great way to teach them about saving smartly.

00:16:02.480 Just text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898 to claim your eligibility for this offer. Again,

00:16:10.260 text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898 today because Birch Gold's free silver with qualifying

00:16:19.380 purchase promotion ends the 22nd of December of this year. Make sure you text Bannon to 989898. Do it today.

00:16:29.120 We're going to revoke the citizenship of any naturalized immigrant from Somalia or anywhere 1.00

00:16:35.400 else who is convicted of defrauding our citizens. We're going to get them the hell out of here first.

00:16:43.900 And if you come to America to rob Americans, we're throwing you in jail and we're sending 1.00

00:16:50.040 you back to the place from where you came. We're throwing you right in jail. As we liberate our 0.95

00:16:55.140 country from this cultural scourge and the plague of corruption and fraud, we'll rediscover the

00:17:01.680 natural energy and native spirit that truly makes America great again, like we're doing with Detroit

00:17:07.680 and Michigan. If we get rid of fraud and do our job properly on the trillions that are being extorted out

00:17:15.100 of our country from corrupt and incompetent governors like Gavin Newsom, J.B. Pritzker,

00:17:21.640 and Tim Walz. We will very soon have a balanced budget. And that's the kind of money that we're

00:17:27.200 talking about. We're talking about massive amounts of money. Our country wasn't built by people who

00:17:32.000 tried to lie and cheat and scam their way to success. It was built by legends like Henry Ford,

00:17:38.620 Henry Dow, Thomas Edison, the Kellogg brothers, Alfred P. Sloan, the founder of General Motors,

00:17:46.020 men who lifted up American workers and strengthened our nation beyond even belief.

00:17:51.480 And we're doing the same exact thing right now. I think we're doing it even better.

00:17:55.760 This is the fierce spirit of patriotic free enterprise that we're now unleashing.

00:18:00.960 Once again, we are unleashing it like maybe never before.

00:18:04.580 Last week, we announced that I'm creating a brand new division at the Department of Justice,

00:18:09.180 a legal strike force led by a really tough, smart new attorney general for fraud.

00:18:14.660 He is a fantastic young guy. He's so impassioned to do this properly.

00:18:20.540 We intend to imprison any fraudster, politician or public official involved in these sick plots to 0.67

00:18:26.100 loot and pillage our country. In addition, I proudly called for the credit card companies to cap interest

00:18:31.840 rates at 10 percent for one year because they're getting 28 and 30 percent and 32 percent.

00:18:37.760 And it's unfair. The rates are way too high. As part of those efforts at Davos next week,

00:18:46.040 I'm going to provide much more detail about our housing policies so that every American who wants to own a home

00:18:52.860 will be able to afford one. We have some great things happening with housing.

00:18:56.600 As you know, you saw the two hundred billion dollar buy in on bonds and mortgages.

00:19:01.980 This will include a ban on large institutional investors buying up single family homes all over the country and making it impossible for people to buy a home.

00:19:13.480 And I've also announced that the U.S. government is purchasing two hundred billion dollars of mortgage bonds to bring down mortgage rates.

00:19:19.900 And it's had a huge impact already started. And just last week, the average 30 year mortgage drop below six percent for the first time in many years.

00:19:27.960 December read on consumer price index. We're expecting a headline number up three tenths of a percent.

00:19:33.880 And it delivered. That's exactly what we received up three tenths of a percent.

00:19:39.160 Now, if you look at the previous month in August, it was up four tenths.

00:19:42.860 September was up three tenths. So this fits right in.

00:19:46.140 If you look at X food and energy known as core on a month over month, it's a tenth cooler than expected.

00:19:53.380 It's up two tenths. Now, if you look at year over year, up two point seven expected two point seven arrives.

00:20:00.880 The one glimmer here on the year over year is the core comes in the tenth light expectations.

00:20:06.440 But the two point six level is where we've been.

00:20:09.780 And my favorite numbers, and they really are my favorite numbers, Joe.

00:20:13.680 If we look at the index, the index on the nonseasonally adjusted index, this started in 1913.

00:20:20.780 The index number three hundred and twenty four.

00:20:24.020 And why is that important? Because once again, it's a new all time high.

00:20:29.580 Pretty much not all the time, but pretty much every month we get a new all time high.

00:20:34.080 1913. And if you look at the 1957 rendition, which is the core CPI, it comes in at three thirty one and change.

00:20:45.100 And of course, that's also an all time, all time high.

00:20:48.480 So, Philip Patrick, I've got you on to make this make sense to me.

00:20:54.420 You know, the president is now in a throwdown with the chairman of the Federal Reserve.

00:20:59.200 It looks like the markets are supporting the president.

00:21:01.260 I mean, they either are a little bit of turbulence in the bond market that that settled out.

00:21:05.580 Stock market yesterday, I think S&P 500 all time high.

00:21:09.000 Did a little bit of retreat today, but but not much.

00:21:11.460 I mean, the markets are supporting him.

00:21:12.860 You got this, I think, excellent print or very good print on inflation today.

00:21:18.100 And of course, President Trump's down there talking about how we're not going to keep spending on all these social programs.

00:21:23.800 So they're obviously stealing the money.

00:21:25.260 In addition, he's got populist economic.

00:21:27.200 You know, he's raised up the big banks.

00:21:28.820 We've got a cap interest at 10 percent.

00:21:30.980 I want to get affordability.

00:21:32.120 I want to get mortgage rates down.

00:21:35.260 And all of this gold is yes.

00:21:37.940 I think gold's all time high.

00:21:39.160 Yesterday, backed off a little bit today, raised basically near 4,600.

00:21:43.020 And of course, silver on fire at 86.

00:21:46.160 Make it make sense for us, sir.

00:21:51.440 That's a tough one.

00:21:52.860 Listen, this is a this is a crazy climate we're in.

00:21:55.740 There's no question about it.

00:21:57.500 I think President Trump today did a very good job highlighting the successes so far of his administration.

00:22:04.940 He highlighted how capital investment has surged under Trump, how growth has accelerated without massive new entitlement spending, as we saw under the Biden administration.

00:22:16.640 Energy costs, very importantly, have stayed contained.

00:22:20.140 That is a tax cut for working families. 0.66

00:22:22.800 I think there's definitely a lot of work to do still, right?

00:22:26.540 Growth, although accelerating GDP numbers are strong, it's highly concentrated on the back of AI infrastructure and data centers.

00:22:35.940 It's going to take time.

00:22:37.400 That's capital intensive growth.

00:22:39.400 It's not yet wage driven growth.

00:22:41.360 So I think it's going to take time for people to start feeling that.

00:22:44.760 But we're heading in the right direction.

00:22:47.140 Trump needs the Federal Reserve to start playing ball.

00:22:50.560 I know there's questions over Trump's pressure on the Fed and their independence.

00:22:55.580 I think Scott Besson had a small freak out about that.

00:22:59.520 Definitely the administration's not going to do anything to threaten the Fed's independence.

00:23:04.240 I'm sure of that.

00:23:05.560 The problem in my mind with the Federal Reserve.

00:23:07.920 Hold it, hold it.

00:23:08.680 Philip, Philip, Philip.

00:23:09.720 Hang on.

00:23:10.240 Hang on.

00:23:10.720 Hang on.

00:23:11.240 Hang on, brother.

00:23:12.940 Trump's gone for Andrew Jackson.

00:23:14.780 He has a criminal investigation underway because of the cost overruns.

00:23:20.060 And quite frankly, Powell's given some not great testimony in front of Congress.

00:23:24.360 He's gone full Andrew Jackson, these guys.

00:23:26.860 And the lords of easy money.

00:23:28.700 I mean, Jamie Dimon and all these guys may have a problem.

00:23:31.440 Oh, you know, they sit there and they knit their brow and they're saying, you know, we need an independent Fed.

00:23:35.100 Well, the money got the stock market hit an all time high yesterday and the bond market is no real turbulence.

00:23:41.560 I mean, isn't the money the money gets a vote here.

00:23:44.500 Isn't the money saying we're fine with Trump.

00:23:46.740 Independence is overrated because Trump's making us so much money.

00:23:50.620 The economy's turned around under Biden is about to collapse that the guys running the economy making us so much money.

00:23:56.620 If he wants to take on all the Fed chairs, because all the Fed chairs and and the U.S. Senate, the banking committee and all those guys are all sitting there going, Trump's the worst.

00:24:07.180 We need an independent Fed. 1.00

00:24:09.180 The money's not telling me that, is it?

00:24:12.540 Isn't it not dramatic?

00:24:14.200 Look at what happened in France and the U.K.

00:24:16.440 The bond markets are not revolting in that respect.

00:24:18.920 You're absolutely correct.

00:24:20.640 Flip side, though, we've had five rate cuts in the last two years.

00:24:25.180 Borrowing rates have stayed fairly firm in a normal climate.

00:24:30.120 Rates should have declined.

00:24:31.480 So, yes, bond markets aren't freaking out yet.

00:24:35.960 They're certainly happy with the direction Trump's heading.

00:24:39.620 But Scott Besson's reaction, you know more than me.

00:24:42.620 I'm getting this from the Daily Mail.

00:24:44.580 There's people within the administration trying to calm this down a little bit, because I think if it goes too far, we may start.

00:24:52.360 I think it should be noted that there wasn't a lot about power in today's speech.

00:24:59.220 And Scott Besson did fly on Air Force One out there with President Trump.

00:25:02.920 But so make this make sense to me.

00:25:05.360 We've got, I think, a carrier strike group somewhere in the Straits of Malacca heading toward the North Arabian Sea.

00:25:10.280 All the discussion tonight is going to strike Iran, and I think if he had a target set that said, hey, bang, you drop one there and the Ayatollah falls, he may think about that.

00:25:20.500 But I'm not so sure that target set.

00:25:22.380 We keep saying just keep the economic pressure on.

00:25:24.920 This thing is collapsing.

00:25:26.380 You've got Greenland.

00:25:27.660 The Danes are getting ready to send some special operators to Greenland.

00:25:30.820 And you've got obviously the situation in Venezuela is the geopolitics.

00:25:36.580 Like, why is gold on fire and why is silver on fire when you've got these other markets that are not really in horrible turmoil because of President Trump's challenge?

00:25:47.120 Just like Andrew Jackson, like Andrew Jackson said, hey, we don't need a central bank.

00:25:52.480 But if we got it, the people are going to control it, not the bankers.

00:25:56.160 And I think Trump's saying the same thing.

00:25:57.720 Why is gold and silver on fire, sir?

00:26:02.320 Listen, there's so many forces driving it.

00:26:05.040 We've got inflation.

00:26:06.100 We've got de-dollarization.

00:26:07.600 We've got geopolitical instability.

00:26:09.700 It's like the perfect storm for physical precious metals that we're seeing.

00:26:14.140 By the way, I want to say something on foreign policy.

00:26:17.500 It's interesting.

00:26:18.980 Like, there is a world where things land right.

00:26:22.800 We have a free Iran. 0.81

00:26:24.180 We have a peacekeeping force in Gaza.

00:26:26.520 I mean, this could be some absolute genius.

00:26:30.420 We'll see how it plays out.

00:26:32.220 But this is interesting times we're living in.

00:26:34.200 I think putting economic pressure on the Iranians at 25 percent tariff for anybody doing business with Iran, that's probably the smartest thing to do at the moment. 1.00

00:26:43.060 But interesting times for sure.

00:26:45.360 And I think gold will continue to thrive in these climates.

00:26:48.100 I tell you what, Philip, can you just hang on for one second?

00:26:55.080 I just want to hold you through the break.

00:26:56.240 E.J. and Tony is going to join us.

00:26:57.900 Philip Patrick is with us.

00:26:59.720 Make sure you want to talk to Philip Patrick.

00:27:01.280 There's a couple of ways to do it.

00:27:02.920 By the way, in the box, we're going to put the box of the President of the United States getting out of the helicopter.

00:27:06.760 He's going to be heading back to D.C.

00:27:10.160 I think he's getting a big national security briefing this evening when he arrives.

00:27:15.180 So everybody's on tenterhooks about this situation in Iran where the Persians are in the streets trying to overthrow the Islamic Republic. 0.99

00:27:23.900 They've done such a great job in the last, what, 46 or 47 years.

00:27:27.080 People are so thrilled they're in the streets.

00:27:29.020 And there's a report today maybe 10,000 or 20,000 dead.

00:27:32.500 I mean, there's a report there.

00:27:33.500 This slaughter could be a lot bigger.

00:27:35.020 The President's trying to weigh more economic pressure.

00:27:38.620 Birch Gold, take your phone.

00:28:24.660 If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this.

00:28:32.180 So listen up.

00:30:10.140 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann.

00:30:17.580 The great Scott Adams passed away this morning, gave his life to Christ at the end of his life.

00:30:24.260 Just got worried, came across the wire.

00:30:25.820 I'm trying to check this out because I think he's part of the Trump administration.

00:30:28.440 I thought he was an ambassador.

00:30:30.320 Former Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich has passed away.

00:30:34.280 We'll get more details on that.

00:30:36.180 Remember, Mark was on the show many times during the big steal in 2020, trying to find out what in the hell went on there and get to the bottom of it.

00:30:44.100 And I think he was potentially going to run for governor or the Senate.

00:30:47.120 He was really a rising star in the Republican Party.

00:30:51.500 So we'll get more on that as soon as we get it.

00:30:53.780 E.J. and Tony joins us.

00:30:55.540 E.J., talk to me about the numbers you saw this morning, the print on inflation, because Treasury is talking about a disinflationary boom that's coming,

00:31:06.820 given we're just getting traction now on the supply side part of the big, beautiful bill.

00:31:12.900 Plus, unless the Supreme Court upends it tomorrow, which may be a possibility, the commercial relationships in the world are changed because of tariffs and trade.

00:31:23.120 And it's acting as a forcing function to bring capital investment back here, but it doesn't look like it's causing inflation.

00:31:28.700 What's your analysis of the math?

00:31:30.480 Well, Steve, thanks for having me.

00:31:33.780 Real quick on tariffs.

00:31:35.080 The Supreme Court has a lot of different ways they could go here, not the least of which, which my sources are telling me is a growing possibility among the justices,

00:31:44.220 is that they may decide to essentially say that the IEPA tariffs are unconstitutional, but for the sake of not causing chaos,

00:31:53.040 they may allow existing ones to stand and just not allow future ones.

00:31:57.020 So that means new tariffs would have to be implemented with things like Section 232, for example.

00:32:03.580 So the president still has a lot of tools in the toolkit, so to speak.

00:32:06.880 It's not as if he will be down and out if the ruling doesn't go his way to one degree or another.

00:32:12.520 Now, in terms of the math that we just got today, both the numbers out of the Treasury and the numbers out of the Bureau of Labor Statistics were pretty darn good overall.

00:32:22.360 Not great, but good.

00:32:23.660 In other words, we're heading in the right direction.

00:32:26.180 We are continuing to see a general disinflation trend.

00:32:30.580 And by the way, core goods, a category which was supposed to explode in terms of prices because of tariffs, it hasn't.

00:32:39.140 In fact, in the last month, not only was the annual rate low, but the month-over-month rate was actually slightly negative, a fraction of a percent.

00:32:48.160 So instead of seeing costs explode here, we are seeing the cost of tariffs not passed on to consumers by and large, but mostly eaten by foreign exporters and middlemen, which is a great thing for the American consumer because those customs duties in the first three months of this fiscal year,

00:33:06.500 what the Treasury Treasury just told us this afternoon is up to $90 billion for context in the previous fiscal year when we still had Biden in office, that same category of revenue, these customs duties, the income coming in from tariffs, was only $20 billion.

00:33:22.940 So four-fold increase there, really tremendous progress.

00:33:27.200 This is helping reduce the deficit, which is significantly lower right now than it was this time a year ago.

00:33:33.540 And again, coming back to these inflation numbers that we're seeing at the consumer level, not only has inflation cooled, but wage growth has not.

00:33:42.400 That means paychecks are continuing to get bigger, and more importantly, they buy more than they did a year ago.

00:33:49.260 They buy more than they did when Trump took office.

00:33:51.760 In fact, the average American's weekly paycheck, Steve, buys about 1.5 percent more now than it did when Trump took office.

00:33:59.060 Conversely, under Biden, that average weekly paycheck shrunk, at least in terms of what it could buy, by about 4 percent.

00:34:06.380 So that tells you two things.

00:34:07.800 One, we are course-correcting.

00:34:09.260 We're heading in the right direction.

00:34:10.560 The boom that Scott Besson keeps talking about has already begun, and it's going to continue.

00:34:16.140 But it also tells us that we haven't yet undone all of that damage from the Biden administration.

00:34:21.780 And I think that's how you square the circle of how can the economy be improving so much while so many people still feel dissatisfied.

00:34:30.840 We are still dealing with the hangover from the Biden years.

00:34:36.580 And we're going to have to take care of that.

00:34:38.920 Number one, as I said, when people came out after the elections in November, oh, my God, it's about affordability.

00:34:44.220 And they all fell into the trap of saying affordability.

00:34:46.320 There were tweets out there saying November 26th about affordability.

00:34:49.860 I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down.

00:34:51.160 You've got a plan.

00:34:52.380 You've executed the plan.

00:34:53.860 You're going to drive the plan.

00:34:55.040 And that's both the supply-side tax cut and the trade and the commerce.

00:34:59.640 They're driving to a point.

00:35:01.500 Just focus on growth, jobs, and wages, and real wages.

00:35:06.020 If you do that, it's all going to work out.

00:35:08.380 You can see it coming right now.

00:35:10.120 And look at the trade deficit.

00:35:11.580 I think we had the lowest trade deficit since 2009.

00:35:16.260 Exports up 30 percent.

00:35:17.620 Imports down 30 percent.

00:35:20.140 President Trump, it's kicking in right now.

00:35:22.660 The question I have for you, how did all the experts that from Liberation Day all the way to it started kicking in in July, just over and over on MSNBC every night, oh, it's going to blow up.

00:35:33.940 His trade policies are so terrible.

00:35:37.400 And they're going to cause this massive inflation.

00:35:39.520 They're going to wipe out the working class. 1.00

00:35:41.380 The trade policies are done to build a robust middle class and working class.

00:35:46.340 And the experts completely whiffed on the inflation part of this.

00:35:51.000 Why did they miss so badly, EJ?

00:35:55.640 Steve, because these so-called experts, they're not experts in fields like economics.

00:36:00.980 They're experts in politics.

00:36:02.800 They say what they think will sound good.

00:36:05.260 They say what they think will sell books or appeal to politicians, whatever the case may be.

00:36:10.500 Look, at the end of the day, the same people who have been ragging on President Trump and his policies were the exact same folks cheerleading for Biden.

00:36:18.460 And we're dead wrong about inflation being transitory.

00:36:21.480 Remember that one?

00:36:22.600 And they also are the same folks who were wrong during the first Trump administration.

00:36:27.020 You know, guys like Paul Krugman, after Trump was elected in the first term, he told everybody, look, I've sold my stocks and everyone else should, too, because Trump's going to crash the market.

00:36:37.380 What happened?

00:36:37.860 The market took off, hit record high after record high, exactly what it's doing this time around.

00:36:43.460 Paul Krugman was one of the cheerleaders under Biden who said inflation's transitory.

00:36:48.000 There's nothing to worry about, nothing to see here.

00:36:50.460 And then when we had inflation, he told people, oh, it's just all in your head.

00:36:53.620 It's not a problem.

00:36:54.580 And then inflation was somehow good for you. 0.88

00:36:56.560 I mean, these people are liars, Steve.

00:36:58.440 They are always in wrong, but never in doubt, because for them, it's not about the facts. 0.63

00:37:03.840 It's not about the numbers.

00:37:05.280 It's not about reality.

00:37:06.680 It's just about the politics.

00:37:10.640 Just go back.

00:37:11.500 I've been following your Twitter feed.

00:37:12.720 Just go back.

00:37:13.220 Take a minute or two.

00:37:13.780 What you just said about people.

00:37:15.820 Actually, there's more on a real basis.

00:37:17.880 There's more money in their pocket.

00:37:19.360 These prices are a little bit down.

00:37:21.420 They're feeling now for the first time that they're able to buy more.

00:37:24.660 And that's going to continue if you look in front of us with GDP growth.

00:37:28.440 And GDP growth is over 5% for the private sector.

00:37:31.140 You know, it used to be great coming in here all the time talking about, hey, when Biden

00:37:34.180 was talking about growth, it's all of this massive government spending.

00:37:36.820 If you take that out, we're worse than a recession.

00:37:39.400 We're in a depression.

00:37:40.220 That's changed now.

00:37:41.060 The Atlanta Fed saying, I think the private side, not the government side, private side

00:37:45.520 GDP is going to be like 5%.

00:37:46.920 Walk me through how that gets down to the individual.

00:37:50.420 How can they actually feel it in their paycheck and around the dinner table?

00:37:54.660 Well, Steve, one of the biggest things is that as the government is spending and borrowing

00:37:59.520 and printing less money, it means less inflation.

00:38:02.620 It means you don't have to worry about the raise that you just got being eaten away by

00:38:07.060 higher prices.

00:38:08.340 And that's why earlier we mentioned paychecks.

00:38:10.660 It's not just that paychecks are bigger.

00:38:12.500 It's that they buy more.

00:38:14.440 That's the real kicker.

00:38:15.840 That's what we want to see.

00:38:17.560 It's that it's that wages have to rise faster than prices.

00:38:21.040 That's not what happened under Biden, but it is what's happening under Trump.

00:38:25.200 And as we start seeing effects of the big, beautiful bill kick in, like the full expensing,

00:38:30.660 these these different tax cut provisions, as people change their withholdings and they

00:38:34.640 get bigger refunds and they keep more of their they have more take home pay, essentially,

00:38:38.900 because less is getting removed in taxes with each check.

00:38:41.940 All of these things are going to help increase consumer spending.

00:38:45.620 It's going to increase business investment.

00:38:47.880 This means faster wage growth.

00:38:49.680 It means more people getting hired.

00:38:51.600 And this CapEx boom that the Treasury Secretary has talked about repeatedly means more productivity

00:38:57.520 growth, which, by the way, we're already seeing the latest productivity numbers are just

00:39:03.040 going gangbusters.

00:39:04.420 It's looking great.

00:39:05.660 And that means, again, it means faster wage increases for people.

00:39:09.680 It means more take home pay, more consumer spending.

00:39:13.040 And this is where you get into the opposite of a downward spiral, an upward spiral, where

00:39:18.100 this starts feeding on itself in a positive way.

00:39:21.420 And we start getting that positive feedback loop and you get real private sector growth.

00:39:26.380 And not just like you were saying, Steve, under Biden, where it was government spending goosing

00:39:31.200 the numbers.

00:39:31.740 But this is real, genuine growth.

00:39:34.040 And that's what makes people better off.

00:39:36.360 That's what increases people's standard of living.

00:39:39.680 EJ and Tony, once again, you're spectacular by walking through the math.

00:39:44.900 Where do people go find you?

00:39:45.820 Particularly, that Twitter feed is on fire.

00:39:48.460 Where do folks go?

00:39:49.980 Well, that's going to be the best place to find me, Steve.

00:39:52.220 And the handle there is at real EJ and Tony.

00:39:57.580 Brother, thank you so much.

00:39:58.880 Appreciate you.

00:39:59.440 Thank you, Steve.

00:40:00.980 Philip Patrick, how do people...

00:40:02.600 Thank you, brother.

00:40:03.980 Philip Patrick, I want people to get directly in contact with you and your team now more

00:40:08.720 than ever.

00:40:09.300 You called this shot when we first started on this journey, what, four or five years ago.

00:40:13.200 Gold was at $1,000.

00:40:15.080 Silver wasn't even representing.

00:40:17.340 And now silver's, I think, at $86.

00:40:18.940 It's one and a half times the barrel of oil.

00:40:23.080 You've got gold at $4,600.

00:40:25.180 I don't know.

00:40:25.760 It's not the price.

00:40:26.840 It's the process of how value is driven in physical gold and silver.

00:40:31.860 Where do people go to get to you, Philip Patrick, and have a chat?

00:40:35.420 It's very simple.

00:40:36.840 And everyone should know this now.

00:40:38.580 It's birchgold.com forward slash Bannon.

00:40:42.120 Again, birchgold.com forward slash Bannon.

00:40:45.400 That will get them access to a lot of free information, how and why to invest in gold under

00:40:51.220 a Trump administration, certainly heading into 2026.

00:40:55.080 There's a lot to look forward to.

00:40:56.900 There's a lot to be cautious of.

00:40:58.760 And I think that will cover that.

00:41:00.160 It'll also get them access to the End of the Dollar Empire reports and book.

00:41:06.020 And I think for those who are purchasing in January, they get a signed copy.

00:41:10.220 I don't even have a signed copy of that book.

00:41:13.160 So, you know, it's a good one.

00:41:16.040 You've got to do a purchase that I sign off on.

00:41:20.400 Do a qualifying purchase.

00:41:22.540 You're going to get a signed edition from yours truly, Philip Patrick.

00:41:28.620 We're very proud of that.

00:41:29.460 Oh, yeah.

00:41:30.880 Thank you.

00:41:31.380 Thank you for that.

00:41:32.360 We're very proud of it as well.

00:41:34.040 Make sure you can also text Bannon 989898.

00:41:37.460 Thanks, Steve.

00:41:39.080 Yeah.

00:41:39.580 Take your phone out and just text Bannon.

00:41:41.380 It's no obligation.

00:41:42.320 It's totally free for the ultimate guide.

00:41:43.920 It's kind of shorter than the dollar.

00:41:45.660 Dollar Empire, we're trying to teach you the whole thing.

00:41:48.220 Here, they're just trying to talk to you about gold, IRAs, 401ks, all the methodologies.

00:41:52.400 But it's great.

00:41:52.960 It's no obligation.

00:41:54.660 It's totally free.

00:41:55.360 The ultimate guide for investing in gold and silver or precious metals in the age of Trump.

00:42:00.800 Philip Patrick, thank you so much, folks.

00:42:02.740 Take advantage of all the information Birch Gold puts out to help you on your financial planning.

00:42:08.860 Cleo Pascal, our favorite of everything strategy in the Pacific Ocean, pulling hard duty at the Honolulu Defense Conference.

00:42:17.480 You know, Honolulu, Hawaii, Oahu in the 1930s was called the Gibraltar of the Pacific up until Pearl Harbor.

00:42:25.340 It was thought to be impregnable.

00:42:27.620 It's so important for your strategy and our strategy of the Central Pacific as the new, what is it, as the heartland is on the Eurasian landmass that McKinder made famous.

00:42:38.760 Cleo Pascal has made the Central Pacific.

00:42:41.680 What's happening?

00:42:42.240 You got a minute.

00:42:42.800 Tell me what's happened in the defense forum.

00:42:44.180 I'm going to hold you through the break, ma'am.

00:42:45.320 So I think that the message is finally getting through because one of the keynote speakers was the president of Palau, which is one of the three U.S. freely associated states who is here to talk about what's been going on in the Central Pacific.

00:42:57.900 And he's from a country that recognizes Taiwan.

00:43:00.420 So he's been on the front line of the Chinese political warfare operations.

00:43:03.360 And I think they're starting to understand we need to secure the center of the Pacific, not just through kinetic, but through political warfare.

00:43:09.840 And some of the solutions are being discussed here.

00:43:13.940 Unbelievable.

00:43:14.480 Stick right there.

00:43:14.940 We're going to come back to you through the break.

00:43:16.360 Want to make sure we thank everybody, Birch Gold, for putting this on.

00:43:19.400 Also, home title lock.

00:43:20.860 It's very important.

00:43:21.980 Every dream you've ever had is in that home.

00:43:23.740 If you're lucky enough to own one.

00:43:24.980 Now, President Trump is moving heaven and earth to make sure that we drive down the age of first-time homebuyers.

00:43:31.880 It is 40 years old.

00:43:33.240 That is not acceptable.

00:43:34.360 President Trump knows that.

00:43:35.300 He and Besson are on it, working every day.

00:43:38.060 But make sure that if you own a home, if you're lucky enough, 80% or 90% of your net worth tied in it, that every dream you have doesn't turn into it.

00:43:44.920 To the biggest nightmare you've ever encountered.

00:43:47.140 Somebody take a hard money loan out, keep the cash, and you've got to pay it back.

00:43:51.920 They don't want to hear your tale of woe.

00:43:53.380 They want their money and their interest.

00:44:07.740 If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt?

00:44:15.440 Let's see if we can help you with that.

00:44:17.960 If we could give yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief from your credit card and other debt?

00:44:24.940 I might have a solution.

00:44:27.240 Here's why now is the time to make a move.

00:44:30.080 This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books.

00:44:33.420 They clean up past due accounts.

00:44:36.980 They sell a write-off to debt to clear their books.

00:44:40.280 That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before year-end.

00:44:48.720 That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.

00:44:54.560 And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage.

00:44:58.220 They monitor lender trends and understand the year-end pressure on creditors.

00:45:02.200 They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf.

00:45:07.240 Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy or taking on new loans.

00:45:14.760 Done With Debt goes to work for you month one with one clear goal, to reduce your total debt and leave you with more money every month.

00:45:24.660 Get started now because your leverage may disappear at the end of the year.

00:45:34.800 That's donewithdebt.com.

00:45:37.640 Donewithdebt.com.

00:45:39.160 Do it today.

00:45:41.300 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.

00:45:43.800 So, Cleo Pascal, there may be a strike in Iran tonight.

00:45:49.260 Obviously, the non-interventors are saying economically, you know, Scott Besson gave this speech in March about how the Trump administration is going to put the screws of sanctions and go after their currency.

00:45:59.660 And they've done a magnificent job.

00:46:01.600 This is why you've seen all the riots in the streets.

00:46:03.320 This is why we argued against a decapitation hit during the 12-day war.

00:46:08.040 You don't need that.

00:46:09.040 You don't need America.

00:46:09.940 If you break it, you own it.

00:46:11.040 We don't need to break it.

00:46:11.960 We're breaking it right now with the people of Persia. 1.00

00:46:14.600 They're the ones in the streets.

00:46:15.940 Of course, there may be a strike tonight, particularly if there's a target set.

00:46:19.260 You never know.

00:46:20.440 The president's going to look at all alternatives.

00:46:21.680 But there's a carrier battle group I think is going to maybe assist in that, taking it out of the South China Sea.

00:46:28.040 The folks there at this Honolulu Defense Conference, did they buy into your theory of the case and the worst theory of the case that the Central Pacific is the strategic pivot of the Western Hemisphere in America's homeland defense,

00:46:42.680 in which President Trump is from Greenland to the Arctic to the Panama Canal to South America.

00:46:48.320 We bailed out Argentina, and they paid us back already. 0.98

00:46:51.220 They paid the $2.5 billion from the $20 billion line we gave them.

00:46:55.060 They drew down $2.5 billion.

00:46:56.120 We paid it back.

00:46:56.900 I think we made $50 to $100 million or something.

00:47:00.780 And see in Venezuela, we snatched the bad guy and kind of told the regime, you've got to do the following, and we're going to control the oil there.

00:47:06.460 And maybe even Guyana, and maybe the Gulf of America, you added to Texas, we're like to the 10th power.

00:47:13.460 We don't need the Gulf Emirates anymore. 1.00

00:47:14.880 We don't need Saudi Arabia.

00:47:15.820 We don't need Qatar. 0.98

00:47:16.660 We don't need UAE. 1.00

00:47:17.580 We don't need any of it.

00:47:18.380 We've got ourselves.

00:47:19.460 Have people there bought off on the fact that that conference you're sitting at is so important because the strategic center of our country happens to be in that vast ocean right in back of you, ma'am?

00:47:30.880 Yes, I think it's starting.

00:47:32.080 So, as mentioned, the only head of state that they have speaking here is the president of Palau, which is right at the Battle of Peleliu.

00:47:39.620 A lot of Americans died for Palau to become independent.

00:47:43.180 But the challenge is that you have to travel from here in Honolulu, eight hours west, to get to more of the United States in Guam and the CNMI area.

00:47:56.860 And that's when Admiral Paparo was speaking at the opening session, and he was asked how important the Indo-Pacific is in the context of hemispheric defense.

00:48:05.940 He didn't mention that the U.S. is in Asia.

00:48:08.880 The U.S. is on the front line of Asia.

00:48:12.480 And if he can't secure the center of the Pacific, he can't secure those Americans sitting way out on the front line.

00:48:18.580 And they're not there accidentally.

00:48:19.960 This goes back to President McKinley, who said during the Spanish-American War, unless that perimeter is secure, then Oregon and California aren't safe.

00:48:31.860 And then we learned during World War II, if the center of the Pacific isn't secured, then the U.S. isn't safe, because that's where the Japanese staged Trump for over 30 years. 0.93

00:48:40.480 So we're starting to see some recognition, and we're also starting to see exactly what the rest of this hour has been about, which is the confluence of political warfare and economic warfare.

00:48:50.860 So you're seeing new levers coming into play.

00:48:53.220 And again, in Palau, I think we're starting to see the first roots of a new form of strategic foreign policy.

00:48:59.920 They signed a deal with the U.S. on December 23rd, where the U.S. will be able to send up to 75 deportees to Palau.

00:49:08.000 That was the headline. But underneath that headline, the U.S. is agreeing to send to Palau, on the ground, law enforcement personnel, cyber personnel, customs integration, people who can actually do the counter-Chinese political warfare operations.

00:49:23.860 Specifically, they're going after Chinese corruption and Chinese organized crime in Palau to try to liberate it from that ground-level political warfare grip. 0.80

00:49:31.880 Because when you see those demonstrations happening in places like Minnesota, and you start to track the money, you can see that not all of it is coming from Americans.

00:49:40.260 And even more so, because the Chinese have realized how important the center of the Pacific is to the U.S., they've been doing the same sort of thing there.

00:49:46.620 So you need to, along with selling the missiles, you need to have the law enforcement and intelligence sharing in order to be able to go after the sort of destabilization you have on the ground.

00:49:57.880 And there's been one good win that happened in the last 24 hours, which is we've covered extensively what happened in Saipan with the Chinese casino.

00:50:08.060 ICE has finally arrested the Chinese woman that was heavily involved in setting up that casino.

00:50:14.140 Now, it's a good start, but Chinese can still arrive in Saipan, in the United States of America, without a visa.

00:50:21.100 That has to stop.

00:50:22.720 ICE always gets her man. 1.00

00:50:23.740 Cleo, where do people follow you on this trip?

00:50:28.320 We're going to try to have you back on tomorrow or the next day.

00:50:30.580 Where do people go to get you?

00:50:32.280 Thank you.

00:50:32.780 You can go on X.

00:50:33.940 And I would just like to quickly say we're talking about public-private partnerships.

00:50:37.700 I think you have to have much more involvement of faith communities and missionaries in the region because they're the ones that can really fight the Chinese. 1.00

00:50:44.400 They're the ones that scare the Chinese on the ground. 1.00

00:50:46.300 They don't do normal economics, and they can change the balance of power in the region in a way that is the fundamental good versus evil, which is what this fight is actually about.

00:50:56.960 I will set you up to talk to a bunch of them.

00:51:00.860 Claire Pascal.

00:51:01.640 Cleo Pascal, you're the best.

00:51:03.080 Look forward to having you back on.

00:51:04.820 Thank you, sir.

00:51:05.840 The Central Pacific as the strategic pivot of the United States of America.

00:51:10.320 Trevor Comstock, Mike Lindell's at a debate today with, I think, 12 people, a huge debate put on by one of the big alpha news, one of the great news services in Minnesota.

00:51:19.740 The floor is yours, sir.

00:51:21.040 You've got new products.

00:51:22.280 I want people to know the new products.

00:51:24.480 Where do they go?

00:51:25.220 How do they get access to you?

00:51:27.200 Because you're a founder, CEO that is on fire, sir.

00:51:31.960 Yeah, great to see you, Steve.

00:51:33.160 I appreciate you having me.

00:51:34.680 So, yeah, as you had mentioned, I'm super excited to announce that we did just launch our newest product, which is our Sacred Healing Self.

00:51:42.600 And it is handmade in small batches with organic ingredients.

00:51:46.640 And, of course, like all of our other products, there's no artificial additives or any unnatural ingredients within it.

00:51:51.520 So just a little background on it.

00:51:54.360 What really makes the remedy so effective is due to the organic comfrey, which is the main ingredient.

00:52:00.140 And comfrey has been used for centuries to support things like pain relief, inflammation, bruising, and even tissue repair.

00:52:06.420 So it essentially helps your body actually repair and recover as opposed to just masking the discomfort.

00:52:11.220 So in terms of use cases, a lot of people love to use it for things like sore muscles, joint pain, sprains, swelling, as well as arthritis support.

00:52:20.880 So it's like a balm.

00:52:22.720 So you just put a little bit on your finger and you can rub it into any area of your body that needs relief.

00:52:28.360 And then we also paired the comfrey with other nourishing herbs that help support things like cuts, scrapes, burns, as well as insect bites.

00:52:36.960 So it's an incredibly powerful and versatile product.

00:52:40.320 And again, as I mentioned, it's just amazing for things like muscle recovery.

00:52:43.760 If you have joint stiffness, it works great in that scenario.

00:52:46.940 If you have bruises, it brings down bruising quite a bit.

00:52:50.180 And also like the itching and minor cuts, as I had mentioned.

00:52:53.020 And of course, a little bit goes a long way.

00:52:54.600 So you don't need a ton of it.

00:52:55.500 And if you do want to compare it to other, you know, pain creams on the market or any other pain creams that are maybe petroleum and synthetic based, this is just a clean and organic alternative design to help support actual healing, not just temporary reliefs.

00:53:12.880 Yeah.

00:53:13.480 Where do they go right now to get in contact with you?

00:53:15.640 Where do they go?
