Bannon's War Room - Episode 3187： What Is Truth

00:00:01.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:00:06.000 Pray for our enemies.

00:00:08.000 Because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:11.000 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:16.000 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:18.000 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:19.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:00:21.000 but you're not going to stop it.

00:00:22.000 It's going to happen.

00:00:23.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:26.000 Mega Media.

00:00:28.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:33.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:37.000 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:44.000 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:00:49.000 Okay, Saturday, 18 November, Eurovalor, 2023.

00:00:52.000 Obviously, a lot, not just going on, but time to go on offense.

00:00:57.000 The release of the tapes, and people are going to be working there all weekend.

00:01:02.000 And you've already seen some of the folks, in fact, over at the Great Awakening site, other sites,

00:01:09.000 people are going in, civilians, professionals, and pulling amazing clips already.

00:01:15.000 I know it's going to be done in a more comprehensive way as people go through this.

00:01:20.000 But the release of that 44,000 hours.

00:01:25.000 Remember, it was only 14,000 hours when it was first protective orders put in.

00:01:29.000 But over 40,000 hours of this.

00:01:33.000 And it just begs the question, if it reinforced what was in the committee's report, as you know, it had been released.

00:01:40.000 Just like they would have given all the details, all the facts, all the mathematics to back up the big steal, they would have put that out.

00:01:50.000 You would have seen that in enormous detail.

00:01:55.000 But it didn't.

00:01:56.000 And so now you've had the court ruling in Denver yesterday.

00:01:59.000 And the court ruling in Denver, and this is why the importance of putting in a committee report.

00:02:05.000 Putting in a committee report when this question is about the committee itself, not having a ranking member, not having minority counsel to do the traditional, whether it was Watergate or whether it was Iran-Contra.

00:02:17.000 Just a normal course of how Congress actually functions.

00:02:22.000 That report now is also going to be put forward because the judge in Denver made it such a central part.

00:02:29.000 It was the central part.

00:02:31.000 And although the head of police, I was really the lawyer for the committee that just reinforced hearsay.

00:02:36.000 So that's going to be central.

00:02:38.000 Also, I think they've opened a Pandora's box because of what her ruling saying that you can submit a congressional report.

00:02:46.000 Then why can't you submit a congressional report on the Hunter Biden situation and that and put it in and have, you know, attorneys generals in certain states start to put forward that they want to take Biden off the ballot.

00:03:01.000 All of a sudden, you're into you're into a frick for frack.

00:03:03.000 But that's, you know, maybe what's going to take place here.

00:03:06.000 I do agree with and I do agree with Mike Davis.

00:03:10.000 This is going to, I think, quickly go to the Colorado Supreme Court.

00:03:13.000 And I think we'll get a ruling on this in a couple of weeks.

00:03:16.000 And this is going to go to the Supreme Court.

00:03:18.000 But in the Supreme Court to remember the issue here about the pressure that's going to come on the Trump appointees, Comey Barrett and Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, to recuse themselves.

00:03:33.000 So this is a long way from finish.

00:03:35.000 This is just another aspect.

00:03:37.000 People also, I think it would be helpful to keep in mind this concept of opportunity cost.

00:03:42.000 Something doesn't cost you just what the out of pocket or what the investment cost is.

00:03:48.000 You have to think about this when you're making investments.

00:03:50.000 It's the opportunity cost of either what the company is not doing that they could be pursuing during that time or the opportunity cost of what your capital could do at the time.

00:04:00.000 Remember, one of the things about President Trump is that they're trying to just take his mind, his resources, his time.

00:04:09.000 Because remember, the time is the most precious thing you have.

00:04:12.000 And your focus just to have everything, to have everything from the trial in New York, which is a stripping of his assets to these burgeoning.

00:04:21.000 I think there's nine or ten of these 14th Amendment cases.

00:04:25.000 And listen, this is the reason that as soon as that paper came out from the Federalist Society, I go, wow, Leonard Leo's Federalist Society did this with two, quote unquote, constitutional lawyers.

00:04:37.000 This is going to create a firestorm.

00:04:39.000 And the source guys picked up on it.

00:04:41.000 And it's very evident that this is – this is one of the things that's on the opportunity cost.

00:04:46.000 OK.

00:04:47.000 More about this.

00:04:48.000 Obviously, on Monday, we're going to put up – we're going to put up all the aspects of it over the weekend.

00:04:52.000 And we're going to have more about this in detail on Monday.

00:04:55.000 I think we're – yes, we're very honored now to have Bishop Joseph Strickland, formerly the Bishop of Tyler, Texas, but in Tyler, Texas.

00:05:04.000 Bishop, thank you so much for joining us.

00:05:06.000 I have a question.

00:05:07.000 Bishop, we have obviously a very large traditional Catholic audience that is active members of what we call the War on Posse. 0.97

00:05:17.000 But we also have – we have a lot of evangelical Christians.

00:05:21.000 And I want to make sure that people fully understand this issue about why you got relieved or terminated as Bishop of Tyler, Texas.

00:05:32.000 First off, something's just happened in the church, and I don't think it's been explained to people, this synod and synodality – I can't even pronounce it – this conference that took place.

00:05:44.000 And look, we don't believe in coincidences here in the horror room.

00:05:47.000 You know, you were relieved right after that finished, and reports are starting to come out.

00:05:55.000 Can you just explain to our audience of traditional Catholics and evangelical Christians, what is a synod – and it looked like many of the things coming out of there were not what I would call the traditional Catholic teachings I learned as a young altar boy.

00:06:11.000 Could you walk us through that?

00:06:14.000 Sure.

00:06:15.000 Well, it's synod.

00:06:17.000 It's an ancient gathering for the church.

00:06:22.000 Primarily – I mean, they speak of a bishop's synod.

00:06:26.000 Technically, in reality, because there were bishops present, but there were laity present also, as from what I understand, fully equally voting members.

00:06:40.000 That's not a bishop's synod.

00:06:41.000 That's a synod with bishops participating, which really is a whole different entity.

00:06:47.000 But a synod in history is a coming together of leaders of the church, bishops, to discuss various issues.

00:06:57.000 We've had several synods in recent years.

00:07:00.000 The synod on the Amazon, the synod on youth, the synod on Africa.

00:07:05.000 I think there was one with Pope Benedict.

00:07:08.000 So a synod is simply a coming together to discuss issues in the church.

00:07:15.000 I would say, honestly, I don't know the finer points of the real distinction between a council, like the Second Vatican Council, which is a higher level, more significant, more structured.

00:07:29.000 So councils, there have been about 20 in the history of the church.

00:07:34.000 Synod, there have been many more than that.

00:07:37.000 A synod is a lower level, similar kind of coming together, not so much legislative as discussing issues and looking at how the church addresses those issues.

00:07:52.000 So the popes and many of the leaders in the 19th century warned us about this issue of modernity, and it's kind of been an issue ever since then, particularly in the 20th century, which was so bloody and so barbaric.

00:08:10.000 But is the synod, you know, you're called by many, many people here in this country America's bishop.

00:08:17.000 And one of the reasons you've always stood up for the traditional faith and precepts of the church is this concept of modernity.

00:08:27.000 Is it now infiltrated the church?

00:08:29.000 Is it taken over church teachings?

00:08:31.000 Is it synod, which is coming out with kind of reports or people or traditional Catholics going, we don't know what's going on here.

00:08:40.000 Is this an issue between the traditional beliefs of the Catholic Church and modernity?

00:08:47.000 I do think that that is really a significant part of it.

00:08:52.000 I have to say I've talked to many in this past week.

00:08:59.000 And I guess as I keep talking, maybe I come to a better understanding of things.

00:09:06.000 I think the synod is, at least for many, an instrument to try to change traditional teachings of the church that they believe need to be changed.

00:09:20.000 I disagree.

00:09:22.000 Certainly, there is a development of the understanding of these truths.

00:09:27.000 But because I focus on Jesus Christ, truth incarnate, as the person, a real human being, always fully the son of God, God and man, walking this earth, teaching.

00:09:43.000 I focus on Jesus Christ.

00:09:47.000 And just as you and I are men who have lived a certain number of years in life, but we don't change into a different person.

00:09:59.000 We don't drastically change.

00:10:02.000 I mean, you get older, you get gray hair, maybe less hair.

00:10:07.000 Things, you know, the body changes.

00:10:10.000 Yes.

00:10:11.000 And hopefully the heart and mind change.

00:10:13.000 They grow deeper.

00:10:14.000 I mean, we talk about growing with the wisdom of years.

00:10:17.000 So Jesus Christ, as a really incarnate human being, change from an infant to a fully grown man, strong and able to do his work of his public ministry.

00:10:33.000 That, to me, is the best way I keep going back to clarity, that these changes of basic truth, he is truth incarnate.

00:10:43.000 People are wanting to change.

00:10:45.000 They're wanting to change Christ. 0.63

00:10:46.000 They're wanting to change his body, his mystical body, the church. 0.61

00:10:51.000 And I simply say, no.

00:10:54.000 I believe it's not just, oh, we need to resist this change.

00:10:58.000 It's not going to happen.

00:11:00.000 You don't change reality, no matter how much you want to.

00:11:05.000 Reality is reality.

00:11:07.000 God is the Lord of the universe.

00:11:10.000 The truth, whether we believe it or not, I believe, and what God has revealed to us, is that he, as Lord, holds it all together.

00:11:21.000 And he is truth, his son, truth incarnate, truth that came to walk among us and to teach us and to heal us and to guide us from that time until now in our Catholic faith.

00:11:34.000 He's still with us, especially in the Eucharist, but in all the sacraments and in the power of his word.

00:11:40.000 And I guess what I've learned, and I really believe I have been removed because I'm not with the program of this change that the Synod is very much promoting.

00:11:56.000 And it's ironic, I was just talking to someone else this morning.

00:12:02.000 I just finished publishing with a lot of help that I received, but, and through a lot of prayer, I wrote a letter with, basically with my concern about this coming Senate.

00:12:16.000 It was written August 22nd, the Queenship of Merit.

00:12:21.000 I wrote a letter and highlighted seven areas that are up for question that I say, no, this is truth revealed by truth incarnate, Jesus Christ.

00:12:34.000 And it's not going to change, no matter how much we may write new documents that say it's changed.

00:12:40.000 That doesn't change the truth.

00:12:43.000 And I wrote seven follow-up letters.

00:12:46.000 And ironically, a month ago, October 17th, the last of those letters was published.

00:12:54.000 Here I am, almost to the day, a month later, I'm removed.

00:13:01.000 Because I think those letters, along with hopefully, I've tried to be really focused on teaching the truth for the past five or six years, because that really came to me as my mission, as a successor of the apostles.

00:13:16.000 Not to teach me, not to focus on me.

00:13:19.000 I know a lot of people accuse me of that.

00:13:22.000 But what's interesting for me is, as I've taught the truth, it's gained a lot of attention.

00:13:30.000 These letters, really simple.

00:13:32.000 I'm no great theologian.

00:13:34.000 But they are, I believe, a clear statement in these areas of what the Catholic Church believes.

00:13:43.000 Truth through the ages that is deepened.

00:13:46.000 But the truth about marriage, a man and a woman committed for life, open to children, that is marriage.

00:13:55.000 And that is the only place in Catholic teaching where living out a sexual relationship is moral and according to God.

00:14:06.000 So, all the discussion at the Senate and beyond and since, and we'll continue, I'm sure, all the push to say, whatever you call it, but these unions, sexual unions of people that are not a man and a woman, married for life, open to children, they're immoral, according to what the Catholic Church teaches.

00:14:30.000 That isn't going to change.

00:14:33.000 OK, EnviroCleanse never does this.

00:14:35.000 They just announced a massive Black Friday discount.

00:14:39.000 Let me tell you why this is important.

00:14:42.000 EnviroCleanse is predicting another triple-demic this year.

00:14:46.000 And the best way to fight a cold or flu is not to get it.

00:14:50.000 That's why I got EnviroCleanse for the war room.

00:14:55.000 The new science in home air purification.

00:14:59.000 The reason is that they are approved by the Pentagon.

00:15:03.000 They're approved by the Department of Defense for Navy combatants.

00:15:07.000 When I was a young ensign and an auxiliary engineer, the air purification came under my auspices.

00:15:16.000 And I can tell you that this is the product that you want because it qualifies to be used on a Navy combatant.

00:15:24.000 EnviroCleanse, the military grade technology, wipes out bacteria, toxins and mold that can make you sick.

00:15:31.000 That's why the Navy chose it, to protect the air on board our Navy ships.

00:15:38.000 Get EnviroCleanse for your home.

00:15:40.000 It's available now for your home with that technology.

00:16:14.000 EKPure.com, action, action, action.

00:16:18.000 That is the truth that God has revealed to us about our humanity.

00:16:23.000 The church could change every document, but that doesn't change the truth.

00:16:28.000 And frankly, I mean, there have been lots of discussions about why was I removed?

00:16:34.000 I believe that it was because I'm not cooperating and just either staying silent or saying,

00:16:42.000 oh yeah, let's change all these things.

00:16:44.000 Let's, you know, delete the part of Scripture that it gets inconvenient because it contradicts it.

00:16:51.000 I say no.

00:16:53.000 And frankly, that's why I believe I'm no longer Bishop of Tyler.

00:17:00.000 Could you talk about, you said seven areas.

00:17:03.000 Could you mention two or three others or a couple of others that are pressing concern for you in those areas that you're concerned about, about this moving away from traditional teachings?

00:17:16.000 Yeah.

00:17:17.000 Certainly the question of marriage, the question of the sanctity of life, the question of who are we, the question of who is God.

00:17:28.000 You know, the Senate, and I don't claim to have read everything that came from the Senate, but from what I have seen in the whole tone, it's like very little mention of Jesus Christ.

00:17:42.000 We believe in a week or so, we will celebrate Jesus Christ, King of the universe, as a feast, both in the old calendar and in the Novus Ordo calendar.

00:17:57.000 They changed dates, but that feast has been there.

00:18:00.000 So, celebrating Christ as King of the universe, if we believe that, then saying that He's one among many, which is one of the tones, at least, of the Senate, that, you know, we need to welcome everyone and all the faiths, we're sort of on equal level.

00:18:18.000 No, we believe He's God's Son.

00:18:21.000 He's the incarnate Word of God.

00:18:24.000 There is no other.

00:18:25.000 He's the way, the truth, and the life.

00:18:27.000 I think that's a basic issue.

00:18:31.000 So, these issues in the seven letters, the subsequent letters, the seven points, are part of the fabric of what we believe.

00:18:42.000 Who is God?

00:18:43.000 Who is God?

00:18:44.000 What is the church?

00:18:45.000 The church is the mystical body of Christ.

00:18:48.000 It, we believe as Catholics, was established by Christ.

00:18:52.000 It's not one religion among many.

00:18:55.000 And in our Catholic faith, and a lot of people say, oh, arrogance or whatever, but it's our belief that it is the religion.

00:19:03.000 Catholicism is the church that the Son of God, the creator of all, established to guide us to what it's all about, eternal salvation.

00:19:16.000 So, those are some of the basic issues that are up for discussion.

00:19:26.000 And the emphasis on the Catholic Church, certainly, I mean, I don't, and the church doesn't say, if you're not Catholic, you're not going to heaven.

00:19:38.000 But it does say, the vehicle that God has given us is the Catholic Church.

00:19:45.000 I believe in Jesus Christ.

00:19:47.000 I believe in the church that he established.

00:19:50.000 I believe Peter was the first pope, and I believe in the Petron office.

00:19:55.000 I believe that Pope Francis is today's presently the pope, but he's certainly being influenced.

00:20:05.000 I've met Pope Francis, but we haven't had a lot of conversations.

00:20:10.000 I don't claim that.

00:20:12.000 I don't know him well.

00:20:14.000 I know that there are people that surround him in the Vatican that have been very clear about changing these truths.

00:20:24.000 Pope Francis has been less clear.

00:20:28.000 I think many find what he says confusing and sometimes contradictory.

00:20:33.000 So, it's certainly, and we pray, I've asked people, and that's what I've said to the people in the diocese.

00:20:40.000 How do you respond to this, my removal?

00:20:43.000 It's not about me.

00:20:44.000 It's about all of us being faithful to Christ and following him and flourishing in his light and grace.

00:20:51.000 So, I've urged people, please don't let this make you so disgusted with the church that you walk away.

00:21:00.000 Go deeper.

00:21:01.000 Get to know the sacred heart of Christ more deeply.

00:21:06.000 Bishop, one of the powers of your message is the simplicity of it and going back to original church teachings, which are immutable and, you know, over 2,000 years old.

00:21:21.000 So, particularly to our Protestant audience and evangelical audience, how can you make the case that the Catholic Church, maybe we have to define what the church is, if it appears not Francis, let's say not Francis himself.

00:21:35.000 But certainly, the leadership, the bureaucratic and administrative leadership of the church today, just doesn't simply believe, they think you're a troglodyte.

00:21:46.000 They think what you put forward is from a time and place of millennia ago, and it doesn't set – it's not appropriate in the modern world with modern values and modern mores.

00:21:58.720 It's exactly what the popes in the 19th century warned about, that modernity would finally overtake the church itself.

00:22:07.120 So how do you – for the rest of our audience and maybe even some of the Catholics out there are not traditional Catholics, how is it that the leadership of what most people look at as a Catholic church – I mean, you're a bishop, but Tyler, Texas is a relatively – it's a robust and vibrant diocese under you, but it's relatively small.

00:22:28.560 The leaders of the church, the leaders of the church, the leaders of the church, the people that get all the media attention, I hate to be so brutally frank, simply don't believe what you believe and simply don't believe that's actually true, sir.

00:22:41.380 Well, Steve, I agree with you.

00:22:45.220 I think that the words you use, the bureaucracy and administration, and to me that's part of the whole point.

00:22:54.720 The church isn't ultimately bureaucracy.

00:22:57.300 She is the mystical body of Christ.

00:23:01.080 We believe that every believing Christian, which is one who believes that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior, I believe that they are woven into the mystical body of Christ.

00:23:15.340 I believe in the structures that are the church, the papacy, the episcopacy, that I remain a bishop.

00:23:23.880 I'm not a local ordinary of a diocese any longer, but I am a bishop.

00:23:29.620 We are successors of the apostles.

00:23:31.660 And I guess, really, the best way I can answer your question, Steve, is to say it's about a heritage of apostolic faith.

00:23:45.420 I'm a success as bishop.

00:23:47.800 To me, the best description of my work as bishop is successor of the apostles.

00:23:52.720 Bishop just means overseer.

00:23:56.760 And there is administration implied in that.

00:23:59.300 But what the church is, is in the year 2023, the people of God who are connected to the apostles and to the saints and martyrs through the ages who have lived.

00:24:19.160 And many, the martyrs, been willing to die because they knew Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, as God's son, and he is real to them.

00:24:33.080 You can't tell me that a 20th century martyr or a 1st century martyr or any in between died because of some bureaucratic administrative commitment.

00:24:46.180 They died because they knew Jesus Christ as who he is.

00:24:52.120 We believe, I was just in this morning, blessed with the opportunity to pray with him in Eucharistic adoration.

00:25:00.580 And when I say pray with him, I mean that quite literally.

00:25:04.920 As Catholics, that's the beauty of the Eucharist.

00:25:08.740 He's really there, what we call the real presence.

00:25:11.360 And frankly, it's this kid from East Texas, because God has guided me to a deeper relationship with his son, with his sacred heart and Eucharistic adoration.

00:25:28.220 That's why I'm talking to you this morning.

00:25:30.440 That's why I find myself in this strange and interesting moment in my life, because I am so deeply committed to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

00:25:42.820 I know I prayed with him this morning.

00:25:46.140 He is not a distant Lord somewhere in the dim past.

00:25:49.880 He's right here.

00:25:51.080 He's present.

00:25:52.280 He's Lord of the church, Lord of the world.

00:25:55.300 And I will follow him no matter what.

00:25:58.320 Bishop, you were the only, I think, bishop.

00:26:07.760 There were some priests that went to stand with the Hispanic Catholic community and the traditional Catholic community at Dodger Stadium, Chavez Ravine, during that travesty of the mockery of the nuns. 0.69

00:26:24.820 In addition, you went the other day and prayed the rosary because you weren't allowed into the conference of bishops, so you prayed the rosary outside.

00:26:33.520 In both cases, has any other American bishop either supported your efforts in standing up to the travesty and mockery of sanctified nuns?

00:26:46.640 And if any of the bishops, and we know Viganot and some others overseas, but if any American bishops come forward and backed your interpretation or the content and substance of your letters and your themes about the current crisis in the church?

00:27:05.680 A few have privately expressed their, I guess I would express it as brotherhood and support with me, telling me that they're praying for me and indicating that they are sorry that things have resulted this way.

00:27:24.940 But really, Steve, I mean, like with the Dodger Stadium, people speculated, oh, well, that's reason Bishop Strickland is having this apostolic visitation.

00:27:38.500 That was planned long before I visited Dodger Stadium.

00:27:43.440 I went there because I was asked to go.

00:27:47.660 I did let Archbishop Gomez know that I'd been asked, and he said, well, I'm not really supporting this, but, you know, he didn't say I couldn't go or shouldn't go.

00:27:58.480 I thought it was important.

00:27:59.960 I was very pleased that I was there because to me it was a model of what we need to do.

00:28:05.800 Not violence, not attacking anyone.

00:28:07.920 I mean, everyone is a child of God, beloved before God, and the respect we should have for each other.

00:28:18.200 That's why I'm so, speak out so much about the sanctity of the life of the unborn.

00:28:25.060 And it's frustrating.

00:28:26.560 It is frustrating to me that, I mean, and I've had many say, oh, please, just quit talking so much about that.

00:28:32.800 But to me, it's the root cause of the wars we see, of the violence, of everything that is falling apart in society and in the church.

00:28:43.680 It's because, as some people have said, when we lost the truth of the reality of a newly conceived child in the womb, who they are and how valuable they are,

00:28:58.060 and we allow this program of ongoing slaughter of them, as long as we're allowing that culture of death, as Pope St. John Paul II spoke of it,

00:29:11.600 as long as that is sort of the law of the land and the tone of our society, that unborn children are so devalued,

00:29:20.920 they can be slaughtered at will, then any right to life, any sanctity of any person is tenuous, at least.

00:29:31.300 And I think we tragically see that all over the place.

00:29:34.760 That's why I tirelessly speak up for the sanctity of the life of the unborn, because that is a cornerstone of society.

00:29:44.360 And when we pull that cornerstone out, things start to crumble.

00:29:48.220 And I think we're seeing that.

00:29:53.180 Debt. You go to bed thinking about it, you wake up thinking about it.

00:29:56.820 Now here's the truth. The system traps you in debt.

00:29:59.980 High interest credit cards and loans make it nearly impossible to pay off your debt.

00:30:04.500 And insane inflation keeps you stuck paycheck to paycheck.

00:30:51.540 That's donewithdebt.com.

00:30:55.360 Go there today.

00:30:56.920 Action, action, action.

00:30:58.580 Stop the worrying.

00:30:59.580 Take action.

00:31:00.140 I want to go to the removal, to your beliefs that this ties to.

00:31:07.680 Your core beliefs are essentially the traditional teachings of the church that have been handed down in an unbroken chain for over 2,000 years.

00:31:18.420 It is extraordinary to remove a bishop.

00:31:22.380 Normally, if there's a removal, it's for some sort of incompetence in managing the diocese or some sort of ministry.

00:31:29.300 It's almost unheard of.

00:31:30.840 I think you've got to go back to the 80s with Lefebvre in France.

00:31:34.920 To remove a bishop, I mean, it's almost mind-boggling.

00:31:40.400 To remove a bishop who is preaching or preaching a teaching and living a teaching, as you showed at Dodger Stadium, that is the absolute immutable truth of the church from its very beginning.

00:31:56.060 How can people process this?

00:31:59.100 I mean, what does it tell us about the modern church?

00:32:01.120 How can you process the fact that an individual who preaches a very traditional message about immutable truths of the church could possibly be removed when everything else in your diocese, the administration, it's a vibrant diocese.

00:32:17.960 You've got seminarians, I think 22 seminarians.

00:32:21.040 Everything else is top drawer.

00:32:24.580 Your teaching is traditional, and you're removed for your teaching.

00:32:27.460 How are people supposed to process that?

00:32:31.120 Well, Steve, I think people need to pay attention to that.

00:32:36.080 And again, hold strong to their faith.

00:32:40.140 As I said the morning, the first interview I did, the morning that I was removed, I said, please, please don't let this pull you away from the church.

00:32:54.020 Like I said, the church is the mystical body of Christ.

00:32:56.840 It is apostolic.

00:32:57.860 It is rooted in people.

00:33:00.400 It is rooted in the person of the Son of God.

00:33:03.740 Yes, they're through the ages.

00:33:05.600 I mean, you can review church history and see these kinds of moments.

00:33:11.280 But the truth prevails.

00:33:14.860 The truth prevails.

00:33:17.140 The truth is of God.

00:33:19.360 And I guess the thing that I would say to people that are unsure is, and I've said this to many people that have asked me, how do we navigate this?

00:33:30.660 Well, I've navigated it by turning to Christ and knowing he is the truth, the way, the truth, and the life.

00:33:38.380 Look to him in the Gospels and all of Scripture and listen to his words.

00:33:46.180 Take them to heart.

00:33:47.440 And if they're saying, you're saying, oh, that's difficult to do.

00:33:52.020 Love your enemies.

00:33:53.580 Forgive 70 times 7.

00:33:55.600 That's inhuman in many ways.

00:33:57.520 But that's what he says.

00:34:00.220 And that, I believe, is embracing that as imperfectly as I do.

00:34:04.260 I'm a sinner.

00:34:05.380 I go to confession often because I need to.

00:34:08.820 But I would say to people to allow this questions about the truth.

00:34:16.880 Learn the truth more deeply yourself.

00:34:19.880 Learn the truth of our Catholic faith.

00:34:22.900 What does the church teach about marriage, about life, about the sacraments, about the word of God, about the structures of the church, about everything.

00:34:31.960 Learn it more deeply and hold more tightly to this ancient truth that is ever ancient, ever new.

00:34:40.500 That's one description of the church.

00:34:43.060 So I would urge people to know that ultimately God is truth.

00:34:49.600 If the universe is held together, our beautiful world, and there is so much beauty, there's so much good and true and beautiful reality with all that we're facing.

00:35:01.360 There's so many good, faithful people in the Catholic Church and beyond.

00:35:06.640 We need to see that goodness, be full of hope and joy and light in knowing Jesus Christ.

00:35:13.780 Look to the witness of people.

00:35:16.520 One thing that I would suggest, it's helped me a lot, get to know the saints.

00:35:24.500 Read their stories.

00:35:26.380 And, you know, you can find out patron saints of all sorts of different issues that we face.

00:35:33.480 Patron saints of mental illness. 0.59

00:35:36.180 Patron saints of substance abuse.

00:35:39.300 I mean, but they're patron saints of that because they had struggles that echoed some of the struggles that people have in the world today.

00:35:48.160 They were just people like us.

00:35:50.300 Some of my favorites are the saintly bishops.

00:35:53.320 And frankly, the ones that were martyred.

00:35:57.120 St. John Fisher.

00:35:58.000 He's the only bishop I know of by name in the time of Henry VIII.

00:36:04.460 I know his name because he died for this faith that I'm fighting for.

00:36:11.100 The truth.

00:36:12.780 And the same thing for St. Thomas More.

00:36:15.640 The same thing for St. Thomas Beckett.

00:36:19.520 But many of the martyrs, laity, clergy, religious, or many of the great saints like Catherine of Siena, a great heroic woman.

00:36:31.660 Talk about feminine power and womanly grace. 1.00

00:36:35.980 St. Catherine of Siena is a beautiful model of that.

00:36:39.160 And she lived in a difficult time.

00:36:41.060 But the saints remind us this is a real human family.

00:36:49.740 We talk about the cloud of witnesses.

00:36:52.820 And I encourage people that are discouraged to find a saint.

00:36:58.260 Find out the saint of today, the saint that's coming up in this week, martyr or otherwise.

00:37:04.260 Learn about them.

00:37:05.680 And if that one doesn't really capture your imagination, move on to the next one.

00:37:10.840 But there's a wonderful community of saints through 2,000 years and very recent.

00:37:18.020 One of the most inspiring for me, not canonized yet, but I'm sure one day he will be, Blessed Miguel Pro.

00:37:27.480 I mean, I love to quote him and some of the other Cristeros martyrs who said,

00:37:33.440 Que viva Christore!

00:37:35.320 Long live Christ the King!

00:37:37.020 They said that going to their death, echoing what other martyrs said.

00:37:44.040 Ultimately, it's living Jesus Christ that gives our lives meaning and direction for eternity.

00:37:51.780 And if you have to die for him, there's no better reason to die than proclaiming, Que viva Christore!

00:38:01.840 Long live Christ the King!

00:38:03.260 When Cardinal Ratzinger became Pope, he took the name Benedict.

00:38:12.600 And part of that, it was talked about at the time that he believed that the church, I'm not saying get smaller,

00:38:21.040 but you needed, just like Benedict during the Dark Ages, you had to have communities of lived Christianity.

00:38:26.700 And it was more important, it wasn't so important the scale of that and the size of that, whether it was a billion people or two billion people.

00:38:34.240 The point was, you had to live the eternal truths of the church.

00:38:39.120 Do you think that that's what the traditional Catholic faith here in the United States, that not followers of yours,

00:38:46.780 but people that call you America's bishop and adhere to or are drawn to your more traditional interpretation of our faith,

00:38:55.960 do you think that that is what is the way forward?

00:38:59.000 Because your opponents in the bureaucracy and the administration, their concern is a schism, right?

00:39:09.620 Where there would be some sort of cleavage in the church. 1.00

00:39:14.080 Do you believe that your followers or the followers of this more traditional Catholicism will go forward like Benedict had predicted?

00:39:23.980 I think very likely.

00:39:25.520 I mean, Pope Benedict, prior to being Cardinal Ratzinger, he was a priest, a learned theologian.

00:39:35.480 He participated in Vatican II, and he said some of those things early on, long before he was a cardinal,

00:39:42.340 certainly long before he was Pope Benedict.

00:39:44.960 And I think that he did have an awareness of, in his wisdom and his deep theology and his deep faith,

00:39:53.180 I think he saw some things coming that are becoming much more evident.

00:40:00.940 And so that's one thing that is a consolation for me about this beautiful flock of Tyler,

00:40:07.980 that I'm no longer the bishop of, but I continue to pray.

00:40:11.120 And I know many of them pray for me.

00:40:12.860 We pray for each other as the mystical body of Christ,

00:40:16.060 that is really without borders, what its membership in the mystical body of Christ,

00:40:22.420 deeply believing in Jesus Christ as our Lord, doing our best to, as he says,

00:40:27.580 if you love me, follow my commandments, doing our best to do that,

00:40:31.820 and being strong enough to repent and say, Lord, forgive me.

00:40:35.760 And for us as Catholics, go to confession when we're aware of small or large ways that we've failed

00:40:42.720 to live with him as our Lord and Savior, to live his commandments, to show our love for him.

00:40:48.440 So one of the things that consoles me is a number of people have moved here,

00:40:53.840 I mean, intentional communities, as you could say,

00:40:57.620 because they said, we want to be somewhere where the truth of Christ is joyfully proclaimed

00:41:04.740 and we do our best to live it.

00:41:07.240 And there are others, there are brothers and sisters.

00:41:10.520 I mean, it's great to have the cloud of witnesses and the saints of old,

00:41:15.500 but it's also great to have people down the street who say, let's live Christ.

00:41:21.380 Let's support each other in avoiding sin and darkness and seeking virtue more and more deeply,

00:41:29.580 ready to forgive each other, ready to forgive the enemies that sometimes come at us as people of faith.

00:41:37.860 I would hope that here in Tyler and in many places, people will come together in communities of faith.

00:41:46.180 As you could say, small communities representing the worldwide community that is the mystical body of Christ.

00:41:55.540 It's right here present with people going to adoration, people praying the rosary,

00:42:00.680 people going to daily mass and going with great devotion and reverence to Sunday mass,

00:42:06.160 people coming together, having meals in their homes and discussing the faith.

00:42:12.080 That is the mystical body of Christ incarnate and really present in a beautiful,

00:42:21.180 relatively small city of Tyler, Texas or anywhere around the world.

00:42:26.240 Thankfully, here in this nation, with all of our troubles,

00:42:29.640 we still have the freedom to come together in prayer.

00:42:33.820 People regularly go to our courthouse square in downtown Tyler and pray the rosary.

00:42:39.640 I know they will continue to do that.

00:42:43.240 Just because I'm no longer the bishop, they will continue to do that as long as they possibly can.

00:42:51.080 And their prayers are a benefit to all of us.

00:42:53.760 So I guess the answer that I would have, Steve, is to the extent that what Pope Benedict,

00:43:00.420 when he was Father Ronsinger, spoke about these issues that we're facing now,

00:43:05.880 stay strong in your faith in Jesus Christ, know his immutable truth,

00:43:11.860 because he is a person incarnate among us who is also the Son of God,

00:43:17.660 and is revealed to us just by the way he walked this earth,

00:43:22.220 beyond his teachings, beyond his wonderful healings and raising people from the dead,

00:43:26.940 simply by his presence here.

00:43:29.960 He gave the example of what it is to be a man and what it is to be a human being,

00:43:38.700 living in the will and the word of his Father,

00:43:42.580 because he is, as Son, he always reflects the Father,

00:43:47.920 as John's Gospel beautifully tells us.

00:43:50.100 Bishop Strickland, how do people follow you?

00:43:55.800 Where do they go to follow your writings, to get the letters, to all of it?

00:43:59.800 Is it a central place people can go?

00:44:02.880 Well, what I'd recommend if people want to know what I'm saying as things go on,

00:44:09.740 bishopstrickland.com.

00:44:12.560 It's a personal website,

00:44:14.160 and I'm in the midst right now of it had been part of the website of the Diocese of Tyler,

00:44:21.680 and those technical things are being addressed,

00:44:24.000 so it's offline right now,

00:44:26.400 but I'm actually meeting this week with the individuals that arrange all of that stuff

00:44:32.440 so that my bishopstrickland.com can be what it is,

00:44:37.480 my personal website where I do my best.

00:44:40.920 The letters that I mentioned are available there,

00:44:43.800 and many things.

00:44:45.540 It started off as a blog when I was still a priest here in the Diocese of Tyler,

00:44:51.460 and then it became bishopstrickland.com.

00:44:54.780 It will be coming back online soon,

00:44:57.280 and that's probably the simplest and best way to follow me.

00:45:02.140 I mean, many people appreciate my tweets.

00:45:04.820 Many people don't appreciate my tweets,

00:45:06.860 and Twitter is,

00:45:09.380 I guess I'm not Twitter anymore,

00:45:11.120 but anyway,

00:45:11.660 I'm not sure what they call it.

00:45:12.860 X is challenging,

00:45:16.320 and it sort of reflects our culture,

00:45:18.940 but I've believed that I should continue there.

00:45:22.420 I do plan to take a pause

00:45:25.320 to just pray more and focus more after all of this.

00:45:30.860 I mean,

00:45:31.340 it seems like it's been a month.

00:45:32.700 It's only been a week,

00:45:35.100 almost exactly,

00:45:36.260 almost to the hour.

00:45:38.140 A week ago is when it was announced

00:45:40.460 that I would no longer be bishop of Tyler,

00:45:43.760 but that's how people can follow me,

00:45:48.300 bishopstrickland.com.

00:45:51.600 And what is your Twitter?

00:45:54.200 On Twitter,

00:45:55.040 how do people follow you?

00:45:56.240 I think it's Bish Strickland.

00:46:00.440 I had to,

00:46:01.320 because it used to be Bishop of Tyler.

00:46:03.820 Let me see.

00:46:04.500 I can just look at it.

00:46:06.620 But I had to change that,

00:46:08.160 of course,

00:46:08.740 and it wouldn't fit to say,

00:46:11.260 you know,

00:46:12.320 holy Bishop Strickland,

00:46:14.000 so it's Bish Strickland,

00:46:16.580 at B-I-S-H Strickland.

00:46:20.880 Strickland.

00:46:21.440 Okay, fine.

00:46:22.140 We will make sure that gets out and promulgated.

00:46:24.300 But Bishop Strickland,

00:46:26.240 honored to have you on here.

00:46:27.280 Thank you very much for joining us

00:46:29.420 and enlightening our audience.

00:46:30.800 Really appreciate it.

00:46:32.460 Thanks, Steve.

00:46:33.240 God bless you.

00:46:35.880 Thank you, sir.

00:46:37.280 Bishop Joseph Strickland,

00:46:39.840 almost to the hour,

00:46:40.760 one week ago,

00:46:41.440 removed as the bishop of Tyler, Texas.

00:46:44.180 I've got a couple of minutes.

00:46:45.240 I want to go to Rome

00:46:46.260 and our own Ben Harnwell.

00:46:48.180 Ben, your overall thoughts

00:46:51.180 on the situation with Bishop Strickland.

00:46:53.920 I mean,

00:46:54.120 it couldn't be clearer.

00:46:55.580 His message,

00:46:56.240 one of the reasons it's so powerful

00:46:57.540 and resonates,

00:46:58.840 it's the simplicity of it,

00:47:00.400 and that is the power of it.

00:47:02.280 Your thoughts?

00:47:04.140 I think that's also the reason

00:47:05.520 Francis got rid of him,

00:47:07.460 because of the simplicity

00:47:08.780 and coherence of his message.

00:47:11.300 Francis,

00:47:12.780 Pope Francis,

00:47:13.700 is a master of ambiguity

00:47:15.320 and incoherence,

00:47:17.160 and I think he has

00:47:19.380 an allergic reaction.

00:47:20.700 No, excuse me,

00:47:21.180 let me correct myself.

00:47:22.140 He goes into anaphylactic shock

00:47:23.860 when he sees a Catholic bishop

00:47:25.980 being authentically Catholic

00:47:28.020 in the public square.

00:47:30.580 Regarding Bishop Strickland,

00:47:32.160 and I couldn't have more respect

00:47:33.520 for the guy,

00:47:34.000 I think he's absolutely grateful.

00:47:35.620 He really is that rare thing,

00:47:37.720 which is a true pastor

00:47:39.260 who doesn't abandon

00:47:40.720 his flock for the walls.

00:47:43.180 There is perhaps

00:47:44.860 a kernel of something here,

00:47:46.740 Steve,

00:47:47.440 that might

00:47:48.100 bear fruit

00:47:51.160 beyond the encouragement

00:47:53.060 and sustenance

00:47:54.180 of the faithful,

00:47:57.020 and that's this.

00:47:58.200 The Catholic Church

00:47:59.480 has been,

00:48:00.520 let me say the Vatican,

00:48:01.540 I should be more precise,

00:48:03.960 the Vatican has been arguing

00:48:05.540 for a number of years

00:48:07.120 in US courts

00:48:08.360 that

00:48:09.500 it's not

00:48:12.160 legible

00:48:13.880 to be sued

00:48:14.760 in the United States

00:48:16.560 on the sex abuse

00:48:18.240 crisis

00:48:18.980 because it claims

00:48:20.020 that bishops

00:48:20.520 aren't employees.

00:48:23.440 It's a long story

00:48:24.320 and I have a couple

00:48:25.400 of articles

00:48:25.860 which I'll call on.

00:48:27.080 I don't know

00:48:27.820 if we're heading

00:48:28.220 into a break, Steve,

00:48:29.320 or whether I can go ahead

00:48:30.400 and read

00:48:31.280 a quote

00:48:32.360 that I have

00:48:33.120 straight off

00:48:34.300 because around this

00:48:35.500 everything revolves.

00:48:38.380 The quote I have

00:48:39.420 We got over a minute,

00:48:40.440 just read it.

00:48:41.080 Go ahead.

00:48:41.340 The article

00:48:43.820 here is by

00:48:44.380 John Allen,

00:48:45.320 a very well-known

00:48:46.300 Vatican correspondent.

00:48:47.660 This is from an article

00:48:48.300 in 2010.

00:48:49.920 He cites

00:48:51.440 when the Vatican

00:48:52.200 successfully

00:48:53.060 in 2010

00:48:54.480 moved itself

00:48:56.120 in a Kentucky

00:48:57.020 court

00:48:57.420 from being sued

00:48:58.440 as part of a

00:48:59.260 class action

00:49:00.620 suit

00:49:01.300 worth hundreds of,

00:49:02.320 potentially hundreds

00:49:03.080 of millions

00:49:03.460 in damages,

00:49:05.380 that the Vatican

00:49:06.100 lawyer,

00:49:07.060 Jeffrey Lehner,

00:49:07.800 successfully argued

00:49:09.200 that the Vatican,

00:49:11.420 the Pope,

00:49:11.900 doesn't have direct

00:49:12.820 oversight over bishops.

00:49:15.900 And as part

00:49:16.780 of that defense,

00:49:19.180 they submitted

00:49:19.800 an interpretation

00:49:21.320 by what's called

00:49:23.120 a canon lawyer,

00:49:24.120 which is an expert

00:49:24.860 in Vatican law.

00:49:27.700 That's one of the,

00:49:28.320 probably the most

00:49:28.840 famous living

00:49:29.900 canonists,

00:49:31.040 Edward Peters.

00:49:32.140 Hang on one second.

00:49:37.180 We only got

00:49:37.560 about 15 seconds.

00:49:39.400 I want to hold

00:49:39.920 that

00:49:40.240 to after we get

00:49:41.380 back from the break.

00:49:42.680 Short commercial break.

00:49:44.300 Ben Harwell

00:49:44.800 is going to join us

00:49:45.440 from Rome.

00:49:46.100 On the other side,

00:49:46.740 we just finished

00:49:47.260 the interview

00:49:48.320 with Bishop

00:49:48.880 Joseph Strickland

00:49:49.900 one week,

00:49:51.300 almost to the minute

00:49:52.200 when he was relieved

00:49:53.220 by the Vatican.

00:49:54.100 Field of Greens

00:49:54.780 is the healthiest thing

00:49:55.980 I do every day.

00:49:57.540 I wouldn't want

00:49:58.340 to live without it.

00:49:59.580 This is nutrition

00:50:00.440 the way nature intended.

00:50:02.400 I get way more energy.

00:50:03.940 My skin looks better.

00:50:05.140 It helps with my digestion.

00:50:06.660 I just feel better

00:50:07.560 and healthier overall.

00:50:09.380 That's how I knew

00:50:10.080 Field of Greens

00:50:10.860 was working for me.

00:50:12.280 Field of Greens

00:50:12.780 is radically different.

00:50:14.460 Each organic fruit

00:50:15.540 and vegetable

00:50:16.080 was medically chosen

00:50:17.560 to support heart

00:50:18.600 and vital organ health.

00:50:20.820 And with flu season here,

00:50:22.020 I trust Field of Greens

00:50:23.640 to keep me healthy,

00:50:24.920 not some vaccine.

00:50:26.640 I promise you,

00:50:27.660 you're going to love

00:50:28.440 this product.

00:50:29.180 But for any reason

00:50:30.140 you don't,

00:50:59.560 Okay, welcome back.

00:51:01.340 Bishop Strickland

00:51:02.300 talked about the lives

00:51:04.860 of the saints

00:51:05.400 and particularly the martyrs,

00:51:06.900 which I thought

00:51:07.820 was very, very powerful.

00:51:09.820 Ben Harnwell,

00:51:10.680 he reminds me of what

00:51:11.860 St. John Fisher,

00:51:14.000 St. Thomas More,

00:51:15.480 individuals that stood there

00:51:17.120 and gave it all

00:51:17.840 for their faith.

00:51:18.440 Continue on.

00:51:19.580 Talk about this

00:51:21.280 Kentucky situation,

00:51:22.560 this letter.

00:51:24.980 Steve, I'll come back

00:51:26.500 on a later show

00:51:27.620 and drill down this.

00:51:28.540 It is so important.

00:51:30.200 Before reading this paragraph,

00:51:31.780 this is one paragraph,

00:51:32.560 I'm going to just

00:51:33.060 annotate it ahead of time.

00:51:35.120 Two words here.

00:51:36.380 Canonist is a lawyer

00:51:38.300 in Vatican law

00:51:39.860 and a canon

00:51:40.780 is an article

00:51:42.500 of Vatican law.

00:51:43.820 Okay?

00:51:44.720 I'm going to read this

00:51:45.620 verbatim.

00:51:47.900 So it's quoting here

00:51:49.040 that this deposition

00:51:50.100 which Geoffrey Lehner,

00:51:51.520 who was the Vatican lawyer,

00:51:53.160 successfully defended

00:51:54.100 the Holy See

00:51:54.880 in Kentucky.

00:51:56.600 He put in that,

00:51:57.820 in his defense,

00:51:58.600 a deposition

00:51:59.160 by Edward Peters,

00:52:01.060 who's probably

00:52:01.420 the world's

00:52:02.780 preeminent

00:52:03.640 canonist.

00:52:05.320 Now,

00:52:06.300 here's the article

00:52:07.100 by John Allen

00:52:07.900 from 2010.

00:52:09.380 Peters notes

00:52:10.280 that canon law

00:52:11.320 does not actually

00:52:12.680 give the Pope

00:52:13.600 or the Holy See

00:52:15.100 the power

00:52:15.900 to remove a bishop

00:52:16.900 against his will,

00:52:18.920 at least in

00:52:19.780 an explicit sense.

00:52:21.820 Instead,

00:52:22.820 canon 401

00:52:23.680 says that a bishop

00:52:25.340 unable to fulfil

00:52:26.520 his office for health

00:52:27.780 or some other grave reason

00:52:29.520 is earnestly

00:52:30.500 requested

00:52:31.340 to resign.

00:52:32.980 It's a debated

00:52:34.020 point among

00:52:35.180 canonists

00:52:36.020 whether there are

00:52:37.080 any circumstances

00:52:38.600 in which a Pope

00:52:40.200 can remove

00:52:41.220 a bishop

00:52:41.840 by fiat

00:52:42.940 or whether

00:52:43.920 some form of consent

00:52:45.140 is always required.

00:52:46.840 This is exactly

00:52:47.640 what Francis did

00:52:48.720 to Bishop Strickland.

00:52:50.120 The bishop

00:52:51.060 refused to resign

00:52:52.460 and Francis

00:52:53.380 sacked him.

00:52:54.180 The reason

00:52:54.560 this is so important

00:52:55.640 here,

00:52:56.220 as this article

00:52:57.140 goes on to say,

00:52:58.660 is that's relevant

00:52:59.440 because the power

00:53:00.260 to hire and fire

00:53:01.500 is a standard

00:53:02.560 secular test

00:53:03.620 for an employer-employee

00:53:06.240 relationship.

00:53:07.280 Steve,

00:53:07.560 after the elections

00:53:09.900 in 2024

00:53:10.980 with a change

00:53:12.960 of administration

00:53:13.580 in the US,

00:53:14.640 it is possible,

00:53:15.680 you know,

00:53:15.900 I would strongly

00:53:16.620 encourage that

00:53:17.640 a future Trump

00:53:18.880 administration

00:53:19.900 revisits this court case

00:53:21.700 and submits

00:53:22.900 the Strickland case

00:53:24.400 on behalf

00:53:26.420 of the plaintiffs

00:53:27.300 back to Kentucky

00:53:28.300 in light of this,

00:53:30.320 in light of this,

00:53:32.160 and encourages

00:53:34.620 an action,

00:53:35.440 a class action,

00:53:36.260 potentially worth

00:53:37.620 trillions

00:53:38.140 on behalf

00:53:38.840 of the United States

00:53:39.680 directly to the Vatican

00:53:41.040 to seize its assets.

00:53:43.180 And what is different

00:53:43.860 between now

00:53:44.660 and when this case

00:53:46.840 emerged in 2010,

00:53:48.120 Steve,

00:53:48.460 is there's a different

00:53:49.320 government here

00:53:50.180 in Italy

00:53:51.680 that might very well

00:53:52.980 be inclined

00:53:53.600 to cooperate

00:53:54.340 with the US

00:53:55.920 government's claim

00:53:57.420 on Vatican assets

00:53:58.820 to be liquidated

00:54:00.200 and given

00:54:00.860 to the abuses.

00:54:01.720 You're such a radical.

00:54:07.500 We'll get into

00:54:08.260 more of it next week.

00:54:09.220 I've got to take

00:54:09.640 some time to explain

00:54:10.200 what Ben just proposes

00:54:11.460 is quite radical,

00:54:13.440 Harnwell.

00:54:14.600 Go to confession

00:54:15.680 this afternoon.

00:54:16.740 Ben,

00:54:17.080 where do people get you?

00:54:18.360 I love it.

00:54:19.140 You're thinking

00:54:19.640 outside the box,

00:54:20.520 brother.

00:54:20.840 That's connecting dots

00:54:21.900 as we say in the war room.

00:54:23.060 Where do people go

00:54:23.760 to get you over the weekend

00:54:24.700 until we get you back

00:54:25.640 on Monday?

00:54:26.200 At Steve Batten

00:54:28.040 on Getter.

00:54:28.580 It's the greatest

00:54:29.120 profile on the platform.

00:54:31.360 You can read the newsletter

00:54:32.000 on warroom.org

00:54:34.300 and of course

00:54:35.080 Bannon's War Room

00:54:35.900 on Rumble.

00:54:38.620 And make sure

00:54:39.760 you download the podcast,

00:54:42.000 all of it.

00:54:42.940 Give us a review.

00:54:44.100 Thank you, Ben Harnwell.

00:54:45.260 Thank you for your comments.

00:54:46.700 We'll break down

00:54:47.500 what you have to say

00:54:48.120 on Monday.

00:54:49.220 Also, Todd Benz,

00:54:50.060 we have time for Todd.

00:54:51.080 Todd is going to break down

00:54:52.140 the entire Ratner presentation

00:54:53.720 on Morning Joe

00:54:54.420 about why 10 million

00:54:55.540 illegal alien invaders 1.00

00:54:57.260 are here.

00:54:58.260 They try to make the case,

00:54:59.180 well, a lot of it's legal.

00:55:00.360 It's not going to be a problem.

00:55:02.540 Benzman's going to break

00:55:03.280 that all down

00:55:04.040 section by section,

00:55:05.080 so we're going to take

00:55:05.500 a lot of time on that.

00:55:07.000 I want to thank the team

00:55:07.940 at Birch Gold.

00:55:08.620 Over the weekend,

00:55:09.720 if you haven't read

00:55:10.660 The End of the Dollar Empire,

00:55:12.540 you need to read it.

00:55:13.240 It informs the fights

00:55:14.960 we're going to have

00:55:15.500 as soon as they get back

00:55:16.540 on Tuesday after Thanksgiving,

00:55:19.220 I think it is,

00:55:19.720 Monday or Tuesday,

00:55:20.600 when these fights

00:55:21.300 are going to intensify

00:55:22.340 because it's less than

00:55:23.260 a month to go

00:55:23.900 before, quote unquote,

00:55:24.980 the government shutdown again,

00:55:26.660 and this is going to be

00:55:27.360 the big fight.

00:55:28.400 We need you fully up to speed,

00:55:29.700 particularly the section

00:55:31.180 on the debt traps.

00:55:32.280 Make sure you go to

00:55:32.840 birchgold.com

00:55:33.860 slash Bannon

00:55:35.620 and go do it today.

00:55:37.080 Get totally up to speed.

00:55:38.240 Take this weekend to do it.

00:55:39.220 I'll be up on Getter

00:55:40.000 the entire weekend

00:55:40.960 putting up information,

00:55:43.240 this interview we had with,

00:55:45.100 and I want to thank
