Precious Metals Specialist Phillip Patrick on the War Room: 73% of Central Banks Looking to Massively Increase Gold Holdings Over Next 5 Years (VIDEO)
September 28, 2025
War Room’s Steve Bannon talked with precious metals specialist Phillip Patrick of the Birch Gold Group about banks increasing gold holdings over the US dollar.
“I want to start with just a basic question people ask me all of the time,” Bannon commented.
“How did we get here in a situation where gold goes from I don’t know, $1,100 bucks, couple years ago when we started this partnership of trying to explain to people about gold as a hedge. How did it get to $3,800? And what are the top financiers in the world seeing that’s driving gold almost sometimes like a stock, which is not traditionally how it moves. Can you walk us through that?” Bannon asked.
“This isn’t a new thing. Obviously, what we have been seeing since 2008, since 2020 has been unprecedented in terms of gold’s movement, but it started really growing at the turn of the century,” Patrick said.
Patrick explained that there was a direct connection in the growth of gold investments since the money supply was greatly increased during the early part of the century. It was a hedge against inflation.
“What’s interesting is what changed at the turn of the century. It’s when we started to massively increase the money supply,” Patrick said.
“There is a direct correlation between growth and debt, the money supply and growth in gold,” Patrick continued.
“Look what the Biden administration did. 8 trillion dollars of liquidity pumped through the markets in four years. It’s no surprise gold is moving at the level that it is,” Patrick continued.
Patrick explained that gold has been replacing the Euro and US Government debt for reserve assets in central banks. A majority of them are interested in a major increase in gold over the US dollar.
“Gold is now becoming slowly, the favored central bank reserve asset. I’ve mentioned before, it overtook the Euro last year. It’s now a larger share of global reserves than US Government debt,” Patrick explained.
“And now gold is really taking the place of certain fiat currencies. Folks, this is something you must understand because this is central to your financial security going forward,” Bannon said.
“Now the central banks are looking at this as almost the reserve currency. Are they not sir?” Bannon asked.
“It is clear to see, 73 percent of central banks that were surveyed said over the next five years, they were looking at massively increasing gold holdings and reducing US dollar holdings,” Patrick said.
GUESS WHO’S NOT ABOVE THE LAW? MI SOS Benson In The Hot Seat After DOJ Sues Her For Blocking Access to Michigan’s Dirty Voter Rolls
September 28, 2025
The Trump administration is taking Michigan’s Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to court, accusing her of deliberately preventing them from accessing complete voter registration records.
MI SOS Jocelyn Benson receives the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her “work” in the 2020 election.
On Thursday, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division announced the filing of federal lawsuits against six states — California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania for failure to produce their statewide voter registration lists upon request. The lawsuit against Benson was filed in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids, charging that she is violating federal law by stonewalling investigators and demanding that she be compelled to turn over the records.
Michigan residents have watched Secretary of State Benson mock efforts by state lawmakers and threaten citizens who ask for transparency in elections since 2020, all in an effort to shield her dirty rolls from scrutiny.
The statement from the DOJ reminds Americans about the importance of well-maintained voter rolls: “Clean voter rolls are the foundation of free and fair elections,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Every state has a responsibility to ensure that voter registration records are accurate, accessible, and secure — states that don’t fulfill that obligation will see this Department of Justice in court.”
“States are required to safeguard American elections by complying with our federal elections laws,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “Clean voter rolls protect American citizens from voting fraud and abuse, and restore their confidence that their states’ elections are conducted properly, with integrity, and in compliance with the law.”
Yesterday, in response to the lawsuit against her, the defiant Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, mocked the DOJ’s demand for transparency, saying, “It’s important for every Michigander to understand what’s at stake here – the U.S. Justice Department is trying to get us to turn over the private, personal information of more than 8 million state residents. That includes people’s driver’s license numbers, Social Security numbers, and other personally identifiable information.” Benson called it an” illegal and unconstitutional power grab,” adding, “I told them they can’t have it.”
Perhaps someone should inform Jocelyn Benson that the government has access to the Social Security numbers of all American citizens. It’s not the American citizens who are legally registered to vote in Michigan that the DOJ is concerned about; it’s the ILLEGAL aliens and fake voters created during her 7 years in office that the DOJ is interested in reviewing.
This isn’t the first time Jocelyn Benson’s dirty voter rolls have been challenged. On October 22, 2024, Democrat U.S. District Judge Jane Beckering, who was appointed by the far-left former Governor Jennifer Granholm, ruled against the RNC in their lawsuit against SOS Benson and MI Bureau of Elections Director Jonathan Brater.
The lawsuit claimed that MI SOS Benson and BOE Director Brater/ former ERIC chair, failed to meet the requirements outlined in Section 8 of the NVRA, or National Voter Registration Act, which requires states to maintain clean and accurate voter registration records.
In her laughable ruling, the U.S. District judge stated that Republicans, who filed the lawsuit in March, did not provide sufficient evidence and lacked legal standing in their challenge.
On Friday, a stunning decision by a unanimous Sixth Circuit panel affirmed the District Court’s dismissal of the RNC’s case against Benson’s bloated voter rolls.
Benson, who has been on the losing side of multiple lawsuits since her election in 2022, has repeatedly snubbed lawmakers and citizens who’ve questioned what appears to be an intentional effort to keep voter data and voter registration data secret. In addition to her lack of transparency, Benson blatantly violates the law with made-up rules, such as instructing clerks in 2020 to ignore signature matching on absentee ballots during COVID lockdowns, which was responsible for a massive uptick in absentee voting. When she was caught violating campaign finance law by announcing her candidacy for governor in a government building, she shrugged it off. Unbelievably, it’s Jocelyn Benson’s office that is responsible for investigating campaign finance violations. If the Secretary of State is caught violating campaign finance law, the attorney general is supposed to investigate and make the appropriate charges against her, but as is typical in Michigan, the lawless Democrat AG Dana Nessel refused to hold her fellow elected Democrat official accountable.
Only months before the 2024 election, the Gateway Pundit rang the alarm about a plot by Democrats to register 1.7 million new UOCVA (Uniformed Officer and Civilian Voters Act) voters, that they like to refer to as "military" voters, so Americans don't look too closely at the scheme to register millions of "voters" from overseas who don't even have to prove they ever lived in the state of Michigan or that they're American citizens. The Michigan Republican Party attorney, Mike Bishop, and the RNC filed charges against the MI SOS to stop the practice of allowing unvetted "overseas voters" from registering to vote and voting in our elections.
Of course, a liberal Governor Whitmer appointed judge dismissed the case. It was appealed by the RNC and was denied largely on procedural grounds (like laches and the timing of the challenge) rather than a full ruling on all merits.
Last month, Jocelyn Benson sent a letter to clerks, letting them know that she would be allowing overseas "NON-military" voters to use the most insecure form of voting available, online voting, beginning on September 14, 2025. Benson's new, seemingly insane rule, in fact, was implemented on September 15, which allows unvetted "voters" from unknown locations to vote from their phones in Michigan's general elections.
Will the DOJ be able to finally rein in Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who has done so much to erode trust in elections, not just among Michigan voters, but among voters across America, who've been watching her actions go unchecked for seven years?
Oregon Files Suit After Hegseth Orders 200 National Guard Troops Federalized to Protect ICE Agents and Facilities in Antifa Stronghold State
September 28, 2025
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Sunday ordered two hundred Oregon National Guard troops to be put under federal control to protect ICE agents and facilities. The ICE facility in Portland used to process arrested illegal aliens has been the target of violent protests by Antifa terrorists all summer long, with the state and city governments refusing to help protect the facility or local residents who have been tormented and assaulted by Antifa.
Oregon’s attorney general immediately filed suit to block the federalization of the Guard troops.
The two hundred Oregon National Guard troops will be put under the command of Northern Command for a period of sixty days.
Hegseth’s orders came a day after President Donald Trump announced he was authorizing the deployment of troops to protect the Portland ICE facility.
A copy of Hegseth’s orders was posted by Washington Post reporter Dan Lamothe:
In new memo, @PeteHegseth says 200 members of the Oregon National Guard will be “called into Federal service effective immediately for a period of 60 days.”
Follows Trump’s call for a military response in Portland.
“The facts cannot justify this overreach,” says the 41-page suit filed by the State of Oregon and City of Portland against Trump.
It notes that protests outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland have been small in recent weeks, typically drawing less than 30 people.
“Defendants’ heavy-handed deployment of troops threatens to escalate tensions and stokes new unrest,” the suit says.
Filed in federal court in Portland, it marks the latest legal challenge to Trump’s move to send troops into cities and asks a judge to bar Trump from any deployment of troops to Oregon.
The governor received an email notice at 9:32 a.m. Sunday that Trump had invoked Title 10 to deploy the National Guard to the city of Portland from the U.S. Department of War.
The attorney general’s office moved to file the suit as soon as possible and will be filing a temporary restraining order to try to block an arrival of troops.
A copy of the lawsuit was posted by Politico reporter Kyle Cheney (direct link here)

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) harshly criticized President Trump, “Donald Trump is illegally taking charge of Oregon’s National Guard for a federal occupation Oregonians don’t want and don’t need. Oregon’s elected officials are fighting this every step of the way to protect the people in our state.”

Hegseth’s orders puts Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold, in a tight squeeze between state and federal officials. Gronewold appeared at Saturday’s press conference by Kotek and other Democrat officials, including Portland Mayor Keith Wilson (D).

All is not lost in Portland. An ICE supporter posted a video clip overnight, “Video taken 10 minutes ago from South waterfront Portland, Oregon close to the Portland ice facility. We have Blackhawk helicopters and drones flying over the neighborhood. It’s sad that it came to this, but after four months of violent nightly riots by ANTIFA it’s about time someone took care of the problem!”

Major Study Reveals Left-Wing Terrorism Now at 30-Year High — Far Outpacing Right-Wing Extremism
September 28, 2025
Left-wing terrorism has hit a 30-year high, according to new research.
A study from the nonpartisan Center for Strategic and International Studies concluded that although right-wing violence has historically outnumbered left-wing terrorism, the pattern has now flipped.
In recent years, the United States has seen an increase in the number of left-wing terrorism attacks and plots, although such violence has risen from very low levels and remains much lower than historical levels of violence carried out by right-wing and jihadist attackers.
So far, 2025 marks the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing terrorist attacks outnumber those from the violent far right.
Despite its decline this year, right-wing terrorism could easily return to previous high levels. It is important to resource counterterrorism efforts against both right- and left-wing terrorism and work with communities to gain their support against extremists.
Leaders across the political spectrum must condemn violent extremism of all kinds, denying it legitimacy and reducing its appeal.
However, the authors go to great efforts to point out that far-right terrorism has been far more common, although it is unclear who they are defining under this label.
Many supposedly right-wing attacks are actually committed by individuals with highly distorted and inconsistent worldviews but are nevertheless blamed on the conservative movement.
JUST IN: Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) posts that “left-wing terrorism climbs to 30-year high” and DEMANDS his own party stop calling conservatives “Hitler or fascist.”
“Political violence is always wrong—no exceptions. We must all turn the temperature down.”
The findings come weeks after the assassination of Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk, who was brutally gunned down while hosting an event at Utah Valley University earlier this month.
Last week, President Trump finally designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.
“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” he wrote at the time.
”I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices.”
