Stephen K. Bannon and Steve Kamb join me in the War Room to talk about what's going on with the dollar and why it's time to prepare for a world without the United States as the world's dominant reserve currency.
00:00:00.000So the first one is a deficit. The second one is effectively that the dollar is losing its status as a reserve currency. What truth do you have of that though. You can see the accumulation of gold in the reserves and the behavior of gold over the past 12 months.
00:00:28.000And it didn't start with with Trump's policies. Of course it started with Biden when he froze the accounts of people connected to Putin. Right. And so so so and of course thinking that it'd be limited there. But people not connected to Putin. OK. So decided to stay away from a euro and a dollar. And gold is effectively now the reserve currency. So transactions take place in dollars euros usually dollars.
00:00:57.240And at the same rate however they get converted back into gold.
00:01:05.240This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:01:10.240Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on this people.
00:01:15.240Here's the time I got a free shot all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
00:01:27.240And where do people like that go to share the big line. Mega media. I wish in my soul. I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:01:37.240Ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose. If that answer is to save my country. This country will be saved.
00:01:47.240War Room. Here's your host Stephen K. Bannon.
00:01:54.240Thursday 19 June. Year of Alert 2025. Welcome. Thanks for sticking around for the second hour. I want to go right back to Philip Patrick. Philip describe who that who the who that speaker was his prominence as a thinker.
00:02:08.240And I was pretty impressed. He basically sounded like Philip Patrick and Steve Bannon on the War Room. Did he not, sir?
00:02:17.240Yeah, he did indeed. This is the stuff we've been talking about for a long time. And and this is Nicholas Taleb, right? He coined the phrase black swan. He is a very, very well respected academic and an economist.
00:02:29.240And the reality is there is no argument, right? You and I have seen this. We've been talking about this. Gold became the number two global reserve asset last year, overtaking the euro.
00:02:40.140And it's the dollarization that has been driving that trend. U.S. dollar holdings are at 30 year lows by central banks. And that trend is continuing. We know why. Right. It was. And Taleb said it himself. It was Biden's weaponization of the dollar back in 2020.
00:02:56.680Just as the book Paper Soldiers specifies, just as we said back in 2022, exactly what would happen. And it is playing out in front of us today. It is a frightening proposition. And we have to start taking action now.
00:03:12.100This is why. And this all flows into what the Chinese announced yesterday, by the way, it's Paper Soldiers from Salia Motion from Bloomberg came on a couple of weeks ago, talked about the weaponization of the dollar and how it played into the kind of the rise of gold.
00:03:29.680The Rio reset. This all plays in the New York Times had the Chinese finance minister. And this wasn't some crank. This is the guy really in charge of all finance for the Chinese Communist Party and all of China, the second biggest economy world, actually laying out kind of a plan of how they can compete with the U.S. dollar as a as a prime reserve currency.
00:03:52.540The understanding is going to take a while. But with Taleb, people are gearing up for this BRICS meeting, right?
00:03:58.620This BRICS meeting, they're going to they are going to particularly with the United States in this geostrategic position it's in and maybe sucked into another Middle Eastern war.
00:04:09.020The BRICS nations are coming for us, are they not, sir?
00:04:12.540Yeah, they absolutely are. And you're absolutely correct. It was trying to central banker basically came out.
00:04:19.800He didn't say it in these words, but he basically said we want a world without the dollar, right?
00:04:24.760Saying that one currency in particular poses a global risk, right?
00:04:30.200And that's the rhetoric that's circling at the moment. Now, I don't think it's too late, right?
00:04:36.160China have their own systemic problems. They're not ready to overtake the United States as global reserve.
00:04:41.700At the end of the day, we are still the destination for the world's capital.
00:04:45.180And we have been for decades, right? I've said before, we're a quarter of the world's GDP, two thirds of the world's capital, right?
00:04:53.380That's not just strength. It's dominance.
00:04:55.880But what people have to understand is that dominance has been built on the dollar, right?
00:05:01.340It's stability. It's predictability. And ultimately, it's strength, right?
00:05:05.680So if China and the BRICS succeed in dethroning it, we're not just talking about currency devaluation.
00:05:11.700We're talking about losing control of the global financial system. And that has been our strength.
00:05:16.880Now, I don't think, and you've said it yourself and we've said it, it doesn't happen tomorrow.
00:05:21.780The dollar is still the cleanest, dirty shirt. Other currencies are worse, yuan specifically.
00:05:27.920But the dollar is filthy, right? And that in on itself is a frightening position to be in.
00:05:34.260It was US strength, economic prowess. That was our advantage.
00:05:39.860Now, just being the best of a terrible bunch, I think long term, it is unsustainable.
00:05:45.420So in my mind, if we do not make swift changes, this is how I think it progresses.
00:05:50.700I think we start to move into a more multipolar world.
00:05:53.780And that is already happening, right? We're seeing bilateral trade agreements or non-dollar
00:05:58.260denominated bilateral trade agreements, I should say. We've seen three record years of central bank
00:06:03.040gold buying, right? But what it does mean is the first national block that can offer a clean shirt,
00:06:09.600they're going to be in a position to dominate. And that is exactly why we've got to keep our eye on
00:06:14.940the Rio Reset. This is what these guys have created, a 21st century alternative to the existing
00:06:21.300dollar denominated system. It allows for multi-currency international transactions.
00:06:27.000And importantly, it's firewalled from US oversight. So if this continues to gather steam,
00:06:32.920and right now it is, we're looking at a permanent loss of our most powerful non-kinetic weapon,
00:06:40.040not the end of the dollar, but the end of the dollar's dominance, or should I say,
00:06:44.780for a shameless plug, the end of the dollar empire.
00:06:47.380No, it was a pretty good call four years ago. I want everybody to go check it out now. It's all
00:06:52.740free. They're teaching it in college levels because it's so accessible in finance courses
00:06:57.400in college, but it's totally accessible. I don't care if you don't have a high school degree. I don't
00:07:00.820care if you've even gone to high school. You read this, you're trying to build your mental map.
00:07:05.600You'll understand the nomenclature. This thing's very well graphically laid out. The end of the
00:07:10.380dollar empire. The seventh free installment, the Rio Reset. We talked everything about the
00:07:15.480BRICS nations. Philip, make sure at 9-8, take your phone out for a simpler, quicker pamphlet,
00:07:20.980brochure, totally free. Bannon at 9-8-9-8-9-8. But the key, wherever you go, make sure you connect
00:07:27.060to Philip Patrick and his team over at Birch Gold. They will take the time to describe to you and
00:07:32.220explain to you all the methodologies of how you can get into precious metals. Philip Patrick,
00:07:36.200thank you so much, brother. I appreciate you.
00:31:37.780What do you envision for the future should we arrive at artificial general intelligence?
00:31:42.660You know, in the long scope of history, we are going to be closer and closer with machines, right?
00:31:47.780I mean, the cell phone was a step towards that, right? People use their phones as their external memory.
00:31:52.700And brain plants may become a widespread thing, not anytime soon. In the long run, machines will be smarter than people,
00:32:00.720and it will disrupt the nature of society. In the short run, machines don't really do many things autonomously well.
00:32:07.980Kyle Aurora, the best-selling author of The Next Billion Users.
00:32:12.660Well, every technology which is novel and threatening and scary becomes boring at some point because we as humanity learn to calibrate and put it in its place.
00:32:24.740All right. I'm here with Bing Gertzel, founder of Singularity Net, creator of Sophia the Robot.
00:32:30.000I can see a lot of giga-death potentials between human-level AGI and superintelligence that could wreak a lot of havoc,
00:32:41.020even if, as I suspect, the superintelligence winds up being super benevolent and super compassionate as well as superintelligent.
00:32:49.380And we could avoid all these problems by simply developing and rolling out AGI in a decentralized way.
00:32:58.900We're with Haley Lowy from Singularity Net.
00:33:02.120Sophia was really there to bring a face to AI and show people how AI might interact in the future.
00:33:09.160So where Sophia, Desdemona are art pieces as well as social robots, he's designed to be very, or it's designed to be very accessible.
00:33:21.040He's kind of a cute little guy, even if he's somewhat sinister with those strange, piercing eyes.
00:33:26.120The Singularity is that point in time where technology moves so quickly that humanity can't see beyond that point.
00:33:36.260And this is why it's so important that we have decentralized AGI.
00:33:42.060Decentralization gives an opportunity for everybody to have input and perspectives and to crowdsource a greater wisdom than any individual company could.
00:33:55.740Joe, I guess those are teasers because every one I wanted to go on and you cut it like the best parts.
00:34:11.440With everything we're talking about, war and Persia and, you know, getting our sovereignty back and sending back 10 million illegal aliens and the bill that, you know, should they raise taxes?
00:34:22.600Did they provide all the populist tax cuts?
00:34:26.180All the fights, all the fights we're going to have, all the fights that you're the best at, this for our age may be the most overarching importance because we're hurtling towards the singularity.
00:34:38.000What we're trying to do on this show is make sure you're aware of that and to give you angles of attack in to make sure that you get your voices is in there and you're just not treated as some guinea pig or some, you know, pro proletariat that they're just going to do anything they want with.
00:35:22.700Yesterday, I had a lot of really great in-depth interviews with people whose ideas I completely disagree with for the most part.
00:35:30.820Certainly, the projects they're working on moving forward with artificial intelligence, believing that they will create AGI, artificial general intelligence, and super intelligence.
00:35:42.100What's really unique about this event, as opposed to many of the others that I've been to like this, is how wide of a spectrum there is of opinion.
00:35:51.380A lot of argument and debate, the arguments basically center around how advanced AI is and the various technologies coming below that, how fast it will advance towards AGI, the singularity, so on and so forth.
00:36:08.640What's really interesting, though, is that there is not a lot of disagreement about where it ultimately goes,
00:36:15.240which is, in almost every case, they believe it is moving forward to AGI, moving forward to something like a singularity or a hard singularity.
00:36:25.960And another thing that they don't seem to disagree on is whether or not this should happen.
00:36:35.320They're only saying, let's guide it in the way we want to.
00:36:38.600The three people that I think are really worth highlighting here, Ben Gertzel, who you saw there, I mean, he was a key figure in my book, Dark Aeon.
00:36:48.700It was very interesting to actually sit down and talk to him in person.
00:36:52.500Also, Gary Marcus, who has been relentless in criticizing open AI and the various tech oligarchs.
00:37:02.580So he's always that guy saying, we're really not that far along.
00:37:06.380But what you heard there, and what I think is interesting about his perspective, is that he ultimately thinks that no matter how long it takes, that is where we're going as a species, towards AGI, towards a merge with the machine.
00:37:21.300And then finally, Steve, Stuart Russell, who is a co-founder at the Future of Life Institute, a colleague of Max Tegmark.
00:37:29.020And I think that his talk this morning was probably among the most sobering.
00:37:33.140He's also skeptical about some of the really crazy claims about where AI is now or where it's going to be next year.
00:37:40.280But he's extremely concerned about all of the downsides that this AI advancement could have and is pushing really hard for some kind of regulation.
00:37:49.740I think he would really agree with you, Steve, that while in D.C., there's almost no regulation on AI,
00:37:55.780but you have hair salons and nail salons that have government commissars breathing down their necks at all times.
00:41:11.420A lot of people want to come on here now because they want to get to this audience and make sure this audience understands what's really going on.
00:41:16.620So we'll have a lot more of these great interviews.
00:41:20.820By the way, I just want to make sure that people understood is that the Patriot Mobile, the Celebration Life, I think, is going to be next weekend.
00:41:28.480So you go to the website, the Celebrate Life website.
00:42:00.440Ava, the Chinese Communist Party, in trying to steal the 2020 election, John Solomon's been breaking these stories that Kash Patel and the FBI have been giving them.
00:42:13.560Can you give us an update in your observations?
00:42:15.860You kind of called this a couple of years ago.
00:42:17.840Miles Guo said it, that they hate Trump so much, they see 2020 as a year that they must take him out.
00:42:24.120And if they can't do it through a pandemic or they can't do it any other way, they're going to get into it and steal the election.
00:42:33.480You know, it's kind of awkward for me to say Miles Guo and whistleblower movement was right.
00:42:40.040As you mentioned, Miles had basically reviewed what's behind the CCP and what they were about to do at the time.
00:42:50.840In November 2020, he basically told the world that the CCP used all kind of fraudulent activities and not just a single one of them.
00:43:02.220Multi-fronts, multiple layers of those fraudulent activities, carefully planned way ahead to steal this election.
00:43:11.400And today I want to fill in the blanks because Miles Guo made a bold claim and many people laughed at him in 2020 November.
00:43:20.080And he said, this is not a presidential election between Biden and Trump versus Trump.
00:43:28.340But this is actually an election between Xi Jinping's Chinese Communist Party and America.
00:43:34.400And I wanted to help your audience to understand why he said that.
00:43:37.860You need to understand why Biden must steal the election and why the Xi Jinping, the CCP, had to, you know, whatever costs they have to pay, they have to help Biden to win this election.
00:43:53.300You need to understand why this all comes back to the laptop from hell, which has been buried and dismissed as Russia disinformation.
00:44:02.780I think just a few days after the New York Post broke the story, I think 51 intelligence officers saying, hey, this is Russia.
00:44:11.180Smells like an inflammation operation from an adversary state.
00:44:23.660But this is where I want to link everything together for you.
00:44:27.120So you knew Miles was taken away by FBI on March 15th, 2023, only six hours after his arrest.
00:44:37.200His Sherry Nesland Hotel, which is a very high, classic high-end residence in the heart of Manhattan, New York.
00:44:47.260And mysteriously, the fire engulfed the entire apartment.
00:44:51.840But on top of it, the wall, the partition wall between two rooms, one is piano room and theater room, was chiseled open.
00:45:00.220You know what's inside the partition wall?
00:45:03.600It was top secret recording of the conversation between Xi Jinping and the then Vice President Joe Biden on political matters concerning these two countries.
00:45:16.180And on top of it, there are massive, massive amount of financial corruption dealings, evidence between Biden's family and CCP leaders, Wang Qishan, the Vice President then.
00:45:31.380But more so, what's gone, what's missing, is Hunter Biden's hard drives, USBs with audios, videos, photos of Hunter Biden, dining and business negotiation and entertainment in Pengu Hotel in Beijing with CCP intelligence agents.
00:47:32.440Okay, that's death because all those evidence are dating back to 2010 when he was a vice president with photos, with audios, with everything.
00:47:42.520Okay, and that's why Biden is fighting for his survival.
00:47:46.900But Xi is fighting for ultimate control.
00:47:50.300Because the people who knew the truth are in the United States, are Xi Jinping's top five enemies.
00:47:56.760So are you saying, are you saying, okay, are you saying that because he had this damning evidence over Biden, that that's why he worked so hard to make sure that Biden, I mean, it is quite mysterious, a couple of things.
00:48:13.520There's a, there is some, there's some, um, the disjointed part of this is, is, you know, obvious.
00:48:20.880That they took the laptop from hell, uh, the guy that ran, Isaac's, that ran the, uh, store, turned it over to the FBI in November of 2019.
00:48:30.520So that Chris Wray and Bill Barr had it then.
00:48:35.060If they had brought it up, uh, in all likelihood, you know, um, uh, Pocahontas, right?
00:48:42.580Or, or Bernie Sanders would have been the nominee.
00:48:45.360The, the scale of the corruption was so immense that could have been seen because I was brought in here to go through the CCP part.
00:48:52.400It was so immense that, uh, it kind of blew me away when I first went through it.
00:48:56.780And this was the same laptop from hell that the following September and October, only the New York Post and Miranda Devine and Emma Jo Morris had the courage to really take it to their editors.
00:49:08.800And their editors and the Murdoch lawyers signed off on it, published it, uh, in, in, of course, all social media with the FBI and with the Biden regime, uh, suppressed it.
00:49:20.740So are you saying there was enough information off that and others that this is why she, okay, fine.
00:49:27.240Uh, we're, we got, Ava, we got to bounce.
00:49:32.000Where do people go on, uh, NFC, uh, the show?
00:49:36.300I'm actually going to be on the show tomorrow, uh, where do people go to get your, your podcast, your, uh, your daily, uh, your daily show?
00:49:44.240And also where do they go on Getter, right?
00:49:47.320Cause we want everybody to go to Getter.
00:49:48.540I'm putting up my stuff on Getter nonstop.
00:49:50.380So if you want to see our current thinking, right.
00:49:53.000Or the direction of our thinking, just go to Getter.
00:49:55.740Uh, where do people go to get a new federal state of China's content?
00:49:59.780Please do follow us on Getter, which is our preferred platform at NFSC Speaks.
00:50:07.560Um, and also we're on X, so you can find a, find us on X, uh, at NFSC Speak.
00:50:13.360So tomorrow at, uh, at noon-ish, we will have our Friday special with, uh, you, Steve.
00:50:19.280Um, so we will talk about a little bit more about the intel behind what I just shared here.
