Steve Bannon, speaking to his WarRoom audience on Saturday, January 11, 2025, issued a stark warning about the ongoing fires in Los Angeles, drawing parallels to the catastrophic aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire. In his signature no-holds-barred style, Bannon urged Americans to wake up to the broader implications of these disasters.
“A friend reminded me,” Bannon began, “the 1906 San Francisco fire burned for four days, caused financial panic, and ultimately led to the creation of the Federal Reserve.” He described how the chaos of that era forced J.P. Morgan to intervene, but the long-term financial repercussions reshaped America’s economic system.
Bannon also told the audience on Saturday that a Federal take over of the state may be necessary:

Bannon warned that the current crisis could be far worse. “This isn’t just about the flames,” he said. “It’s about the financial fallout. Insurance systems out there are going to collapse. They’ve already pumped $50 billion, and it’ll likely hit $150 billion.” He emphasized that this burden will fall disproportionately on the American people, raising questions about fairness and governance. “How can you justify bailing out multimillion-dollar mansions in Beverly Hills or Bel Air when the average American is struggling to make ends meet?”
Bannon painted a vivid picture of devastation. “The Catholic school’s gone. The temple’s gone. The library’s gone. The houses, these quaint little homes in Pacific Palisades—gone.” He lamented the destruction of community landmarks and warned that the cultural and economic impact would resonate far beyond Los Angeles.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
