00:01:19.760
going to kind of do a uh reflection on independence day we got in some of steve's great friends uh
00:01:25.440
larry schweikert's with us uh bill federer we're going to uh go back and review a little history
00:01:31.200
uh that matters but we're going to connect the dots uh from history to uh economics uh to the
00:01:38.700
institutions necessary to have our republic to have freedom and so there's no one better to have
00:01:44.780
in the house uh than uh our friend larry schweikert and larry if you want to uh give us just a quick
00:01:50.980
uh bio of what you studied uh a couple of the books that fit in with the war room uh that you want to
00:01:58.320
pitch ahead of time uh and just give people a sense of your credentials and then uh connect all the dots
00:02:04.480
that we just laid out thank you uh larry thanks for being with us sure thanks dave well my background
00:02:10.300
is i have a phd in economic history from the university of california santa barbara and i did
00:02:18.200
most of my early work on banking prior to 1900 and written uh two or three books and uh a few articles
00:02:25.840
that are cited all over the place um but it was interesting to hear you talk about the chamber of
00:02:31.820
commerce and and growth and so forth we just had brand new jobs numbers come out that are all rosy
00:02:39.040
and as we always know first they're going to revise those downward in about two weeks and uh you also
00:02:46.580
were mentioning uh politico and i would add to politico the hill and axios those are kind of the
00:02:53.220
big three of the democrat mouthpieces that when they want to put out information that they want you to
00:02:59.240
hear they're going to put out through those three mouthpieces and so it reminded me of a time in
00:03:05.140
1991 when i was invited by milton friedman and others to go to europe as part of the mom pelleran
00:03:12.340
society and at one time i was in a room with five nobel prize winners and i wasn't one of them which
00:03:18.200
was pretty depressing but at at any rate um one of our tasks was to meet with soviet economists now this
00:03:26.140
is before the soviet union fell and i think you'd find this pretty appropriate uh they they were
00:03:32.280
asking us how do we make a transition to capitalism and i said well it's got to be quick it can't there's
00:03:38.860
no slow way to do it you just got to jump in with both feet i said for example you would take us a
00:03:44.060
steel factory give it a value have the government come out on friday night and say it's worth two
00:03:48.920
million dollars you have x number of employees uh give each employee an equal share of the steel
00:03:54.600
company and go from there and they looked at me incredibly puzzled and were shaking their heads i
00:03:59.620
go what's wrong they said you don't understand nobody believes the media if the government said
00:04:06.120
that nobody would believe it and i think that's really almost where we are anymore that nobody believes
00:04:11.980
anything put out by the media or the government when it comes to the economic picture
00:04:17.160
yeah no that's uh exactly right and so uh in the in in our history i think you're well equipped to
00:04:26.340
uh also weigh in on uh this socialism versus capitalism debate right the young kids when you're young
00:04:33.600
you know there's some famous saying out there i'll botch it all crazy but if you don't you know
00:04:37.760
if you're young and you you and you don't you know have a heart there's something wrong with you
00:04:43.120
when you get old you get a bigger brain and uh you know you realize that uh actually capitalism is
00:04:49.440
better off uh for everybody in play right socialism makes these grand promises carl marx promised the
00:04:56.040
brotherhood of mankind and has delivered bondage everywhere he's been uh put in place and then it
00:05:02.000
always starts off as a gradual you know steps towards socialism right just let us do this let us do
00:05:07.960
this and so we put into place you know fdr and then lyndon baines johnson and the great society
00:05:14.500
programs and it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger and right now our government is bigger than
00:05:20.880
the chinese government right in both absolute terms and percentage terms our our percent our government
00:05:27.120
is uh 18 percent of gdp and china's is only 14 percent and china's a totalitarian surveillance
00:05:36.420
communist communist state and they have a smaller government than the u.s so imagine what we can do
00:05:41.600
when we get good at it right i mean it's just it's just a scary day so give us a little sense of
00:05:47.260
history how did the socialists win when when the historical track record is so clear uh but i guess
00:05:55.480
that's part of the problem with education the kids don't know this and we don't equip them but
00:05:59.900
what's your comments on that larry well you're absolutely right it begins with education and i think
00:06:05.840
the element in education that we miss the most is this idea that capitalism is selfish it is not
00:06:13.100
capitalism is inherently unselfish and socialism is inherently selfish and the the way you understand
00:06:21.500
that is that capitalism is designed that you can only make money after you serve your fellow man i think
00:06:28.700
this is a line from thomas soul but you first have to offer something as almost a sacrifice to the
00:06:35.040
market to see if you're serving other people and if they uh view it as important enough to them they
00:06:41.720
will pay you for it and reward you for it uh socialism acts as an insurance policy and says you must get
00:06:48.280
paid up front in essence capitalism says give and it shall be given unto you socialism says take and it shall
00:06:56.840
be given unto you and the way i would use this example with my students and they always got it
00:07:02.080
is imagine if if i took you up in a helicopter i dropped you in the sahara desert with a pick and
00:07:08.900
shovel and for eight hours you dug a hole and at the end of that eight hours you stuck your hand out
00:07:14.520
and uh somebody put money in it who would have been benefited by that hole and the students immediately
00:07:21.540
got it well nobody uh you haven't done anything for anybody nobody wanted the hole nobody asked for it
00:07:27.740
but if somebody pays you for it you are the only one benefited by digging that hole so if we have
00:07:34.800
something called a minimum wage law that requires that you get paid whether you help anybody else or not
00:07:41.000
that is pure selfishness whereas with capitalism it says you've got to help other people first
00:07:47.180
before you get your reward yeah that's exactly right too and uh you know i did my phd in economics as
00:07:55.560
well and they they taught us back then that we're a uh social science we're not supposed to be involved
00:08:00.680
in ethics in any way shape or form right well of course that's a paul krugman all he does is preach
00:08:06.420
his ethics and and uh in the big state every day uh the chamber of commerce also by the way i forgot to
00:08:13.160
add they also said they want better messaging on uh on uh big business and whatever it's a it's all bad
00:08:21.400
business and so the first thing the messaging thing the messaging thing is exactly what we hear all the
00:08:27.460
time out of james carville and every democrat mouthpiece uh they this ain't getting the messaging
00:08:32.740
you know we all get our messaging a little bit better and and they never understand that it's not the
00:08:37.940
messaging it's the message that it's what they are peddling that no one wants their policies are bad
00:08:45.880
not the way they are describing their policies yeah well and it and it's funny they open with
00:08:52.000
we've got to get back to economic growth we're not growing right now and the cbo right the
00:08:58.180
congressional budget office has us growing at one and a half percent for the next 30 years
00:09:03.120
so if you ask anybody how's the economy doing that's the answer that's the real answer the rest
00:09:08.240
of it's just noise right the latest labor report or the latest that it doesn't matter if you're going
00:09:13.780
to grow at one and a half percent for the next 30 years that's bad and so they say we need growth to
00:09:19.520
get some good news and then they say hey you media people you got to give us good stories because
00:09:24.780
everything we're doing right now is bad i mean you just really cannot make up this messaging mess
00:09:31.420
uh that we we've got ourselves into and then let me i'm going to go back to history with you uh
00:09:37.220
larry and uh the biggest uh the biggest issue that the left used to take care of uh in a good way the
00:09:45.400
liberals they cared about income distribution now not one word of it now the left is all out the
00:09:52.240
trillionaire class right out in silicon valley the magnificent seven it it turns out the uh the uh
00:10:00.480
top five firms of the magnificent seven took about 60 percent of all market returns all the u.s you know
00:10:09.000
the s p 500 returns this year and and then you know the basic stat is that 10 percent of the american
00:10:16.020
people own 90 percent of the wealth the stocks and bonds correct and so we have a a an economy made
00:10:23.140
up of monopolies uh what it back with uh teddy roosevelt and the trust busters or whatever what
00:10:30.020
comes to your mind uh when things get too big and this is global right the same things happen and
00:10:35.760
happen in england with brexit it's happening in france right now in the news it's happening in brazil
00:10:40.200
the people are getting sick of it and so what can you tell us what what should we expect based on history
00:10:45.660
as the next steps to unfold well uh there's a fine line uh in using the sherman antitrust
00:10:53.120
act uh but it's clear that now that that we are constantly moving more toward the top one percent
00:11:01.180
getting more and more money i think the last thing i saw was that one percent of the people get more
00:11:06.380
money than the bottom 50 percent combined right that's right and so this is a dangerous situation
00:11:12.440
you don't want to go overboard on antitrust and the way the antitrust laws are written is pretty
00:11:17.800
nebulous they basically say if we think you're in violation of the law you're in violation of
00:11:23.100
the law nevertheless uh at the end of the 1800s roosevelt came in when the steel trust the sugar
00:11:29.820
trust many of the other trusts were controlling about 85 percent of the u.s market in their areas
00:11:37.800
and he applied strong antitrust laws that began to limit that and break up some of these companies
00:11:45.040
the one thing that roosevelt missed and this is in my book dragon slayer six presidents and their war
00:11:51.040
with the swamp the one thing he missed was the media uh roosevelt did not break up the media uh
00:11:57.340
which is uh you know to his uh eternal discredit because that's another place today where we have
00:12:03.340
a a horrific uh monopoly and it's very hard to break into or to shatter that media monopoly as well
00:12:10.320
yeah no that's right and uh one of the court decisions that didn't get much attention which i i thought
00:12:19.060
was huge was the uh murthy i think it was prior called missouri uh murthy versus missouri but that was
00:12:27.640
the uh the freedom of speech uh test and uh the uh one of their republican appointed uh trump justices
00:12:37.240
uh said they didn't have standing on that one but it it not only coupled the idea of market power
00:12:44.380
right the magnificent seven firms uh but they were working in tandem with the government and the
00:12:50.400
government was telling the firms to censor the american people on disfavored language holy moly i mean
00:12:59.000
that goes straight up against the first amendment uh in the history of economics and thought what what do
00:13:06.300
you got on that one we have this issue and really this is something for mike davis uh but the the issue
00:13:12.860
of standing is a big big problem and and yes it has been uh recognized really for about a hundred years
00:13:20.240
but before that it was not recognized much at all and and so i don't know how we fix that but it's
00:13:26.860
clearly being used now by courts as a way to dodge any unpleasant decisions where they might have to
00:13:34.460
really take a a strong uh position politically uh they've used it to duck all the january 6th
00:13:41.580
and election uh integrity challenges uh they've used it uh in many of the vax challenges and as you
00:13:48.620
said just recently they used it in the freedom of speech challenges on censorship and the media so there
00:13:54.880
there has to be a way and i'm sure mike and some of his uh cohorts can come up with a legal way to
00:14:00.840
challenge this nonsense of standing you know i believe that in any federal election which would
00:14:06.800
include senators and president i have standing because my vote is being affected by fraud in
00:14:13.180
wisconsin or pennsylvania or someplace else and so even if it's a senate race there i still have standing
00:14:20.660
because it's a federal office i may not have standing for uh state races but i certainly should
00:14:26.580
have standing for federal races because it affects my vote and so we've got to get that out of control
00:14:31.880
right uh we'll be back in the war room with more from uh larry schweikert and that bill federer
00:14:39.020
we're covering the waterfront uh all the issues in the newspapers but with a sk bannon historical slant
00:14:47.040
he loves it and then he uses history to look around the corner and sees what's coming at us
00:14:52.040
i'll tee larry up with that stay with the war room we'll be right back
00:14:55.840
can your savings weather an economic storm think about what you've put away for the future inflation
00:15:04.760
can render cash worthless real estate can crash like in 2008 economies built on a mountain of debt can fall
00:15:13.320
like a house of cards there are very few physical assets you can invest in that can stand the test of
00:15:19.660
gold has withstood this as a valued form of money for millennia i actually think for 8 000 years of
00:15:27.860
man's recorded history it's why people are flocking to it now why birch gold is busier than ever
00:15:33.280
through a little known tax loophole birch gold lets you convert a retirement account into a tax
00:15:39.680
sheltered ira in physical gold and the best part it doesn't cost you a penny out of pocket let me repeat
00:15:46.200
that it doesn't cost you a penny out of pocket to learn more about this to immerse yourself in
00:15:51.520
information text bannon b-a-n-n-o-n to 989898 and claim your free info kit on gold let me ask you
00:16:00.280
this again can your ira or 401k weather an economic storm because a storm's coming if it can't
00:16:08.400
call the people i trust that's birch gold text bannon to 989898 secure your savings today
00:16:16.280
birch gold group war room here's your host stephen k bannon
00:16:22.100
back in the war room dave bratt sitting in with stephen k bannon and our guest uh larry schweikert
00:16:34.800
he's been uh tour de force across history economics uh now uh the week in review right
00:16:41.340
we're kind of doing a week in review uh the politics the debate uh the shuffle the media
00:16:47.260
going off in every direction uh larry anything uh you want to weigh in on this crazy week in review
00:16:54.460
uh from the history books that might be pertinent to the way forward you know we we had these uh
00:17:02.120
swirling waters where it looked like right after the debate they were going to have a journalistic
00:17:07.400
coup where they were going to be able to push biden out and he and his family got together over the
00:17:14.160
weekend and apparently have beaten that back for the time being i gotta disagree with mike davis so
00:17:19.980
about the role of obama there's been some really good literature come out a book called the truce for
00:17:25.080
example and it pinpoints this uh woman jaya paul and uh ron clane and anita dunn as the three main
00:17:34.780
uh people who've been shaping and pushing uh biden forward well in the last weekend those three they
00:17:41.200
weren't fired but they were demoted and uh two other guys a guy named anthony bernal and and another guy
00:17:47.820
can't remember his name have been kind of elevated uh to that role of having biden's ear and one
00:17:54.000
newspaper referred to it as rasputin-esque so um at any rate if you're uh kamala harris out there
00:18:02.060
and you're even uh thinking about what might happen there's some interesting things that history has
00:18:07.500
to offer for example if biden steps down as the candidate but not as president okay they they can name
00:18:17.400
um uh harris and she will need a vice presidential candidate on the ballot that is in the constitution
00:18:25.240
however if uh biden is removed as president and harris accedes to the presidency she does not
00:18:33.480
necessarily have to pick a vice presidential candidate john tyler in 1841 acceded to the presidency
00:18:41.840
when william henry harrison died and over three years tyler didn't have a vice president there is
00:18:48.080
nothing in the constitution that says you have to have a vice president only that one must be there
00:18:53.580
in order to run for the electoral college and and so if she thinks she's only going to be in
00:18:59.680
from now until say january 20th in order to protect her own position as president she might very well not
00:19:07.780
appoint a veep and then the last thing to consider is that mike johnson has the last word over who that
00:19:14.840
veep candidate is because both the house and the senate must approve a vice presidential appointee
00:19:23.420
who's appointed by a a president and i doubt even with his failings that mike johnson is going to want
00:19:30.600
to put in somebody like newsom or hillary who might be um a positive or a benefit to any kind of race or
00:19:38.980
any kind of campaign uh he would probably just nix them or more likely just drag it out until it was
00:19:46.980
meaningless so there's there's a lot of stuff going on right now that uh that is swirling and and biden
00:19:53.540
insists he's not going to be pushed out he says but he does say he needs more naps that he's got a
00:19:59.480
his 10 to 4 uh work schedule is really hard he needed he said he needed more sleep and this is just
00:20:05.920
before he referred to himself as the first black female vice president and then shouted ho ho ho at a
00:20:14.540
fourth of july celebration very good hey give me that again on the speaker so not the entire house but just
00:20:24.060
the speaker no the house has to vote usually is that pro forma usually that's just doesn't even come
00:20:30.580
up right but there's not it could yeah and the house has to approve a um in the case of a vice
00:20:38.600
president who is acceded to the presidency and appoints a vp uh the house and senate both have to
00:20:45.580
approve that vp candidate wow and politically speaking it would be in mike johnson's best interest
00:20:51.220
and in the republicans best interest to not allow them to to uh appoint anybody who would be
00:20:58.680
politically threatening i mean they could pick some joe blow from pig's knuckle arkansas and that's
00:21:03.340
fine yeah but they're not going to allow gavin newsom or or hillary clinton or somebody like that
00:21:08.860
to come into the vice presidency if they could be a threat to this coming election very good all right
00:21:15.280

00:23:23.120
very good okay good well you just teased us with that keep going on the socialism piece what uh
00:23:30.760
what's the relationship between god and the bible and socialism right so the most common form of
00:23:37.240
government in world history is kings uh nimrod pharaoh caesar kaiser sultan zhar and they keep getting
00:23:42.200
bigger and bigger and a couple dynamics uh one is with every new military invention it allows kings to
00:23:49.500
kill more people so instead of cain killing able with a rock they can kill with a bronze weapon iron
00:23:54.200
weapon failing spear a scimitar sword gunpowder the mongols had a composite bow and uh and they keep
00:24:00.160
getting bigger and then with technological advancements kings can track more people so 2bc augustus
00:24:06.040
caesar wanted a worldwide tracking system a census if he could have had access to 5g and cell phones and
00:24:11.740
facial recognition software i bet he'd been tempted to use that they keep getting bigger and uh they rule
00:24:18.100
through fear that's the electricity that keeps these monarchs going uh nimrod it was the first one he
00:24:23.860
wanted people to fear the government rather than fear god but by the time of america's founding the
00:24:28.700
king of england was the most powerful king that planet earth had ever seen he was a globalist he was a
00:24:33.160
one world government guy with him at the top and america's founders decided they didn't like that so
00:24:37.540
they broke away and flipped it and made the people the king and so they they got their idea from the new
00:24:44.020
england pastors who got their idea from the reformation who got their idea from the bible
00:24:47.960
what part of the bible that first 400 years out of egypt before king saul so we got two parts of
00:24:54.080
the testament right so the kings of england looked to the bible but they looked to the king saul and on
00:24:59.620
the divine right of kings well the calvinist puritans and baptists and presbyterians and quakers
00:25:04.820
that founded the early colonies in america they looked to the pre-king saul part of the bible
00:25:08.900
why is this important because romans 13 the verse that says let everyone be subject to the
00:25:14.820
governing authorities romans 13 is understood differently in a monarchy versus a republic
00:25:20.220
in a monarchy subjects submit to the king in a republic the citizens are the king
00:25:26.280
the politicians are your servants you hire them you fire them they are supposed to do what you tell
00:25:30.720
them to do and so the the pastors say well just submit to the government they need to pick up and go to
00:25:35.080
china i mean or babylon where they blow the trumpets about of the statue right they want to surrender
00:25:40.720
what in america we have a direct responsibility uh to god and that came from this pre-king saul
00:25:47.580
period of the hebrew republic that's why they taught hebrew at yale and harvard so the most common
00:25:52.400
form of government's kings and uh america's you're right there bill we got about a minute and a half
00:25:57.680
till the break uh but let me play the devil's advocate i get this a bunch i agree with everything
00:26:02.880
you just said i think you're right on the money but a lot of people will say yeah but jesus came
00:26:07.600
and uh he's the son of god and he said just turn the other cheek render unto caesar what caesar's and
00:26:14.200
etc and uh so uh they say we should just be a passive people uh whereas the god of the exodus
00:26:21.680
was certainly not passive nor were the the acts of israel under that god for the rest of the hebrew
00:26:28.680
text so what do you make of that juxtaposition that jesus came and we should all be passive
00:26:34.000
right so jesus did not pet lambs all day long his first sermon ended with them wanting to push him
00:26:40.500
off a cliff another sermon ends with him picking up stones to stone him another sermon ends with
00:26:46.000
people saying this is a difficult thing who can bear it and they walk with they stand up and walk
00:26:49.760
out of church right they walk with him no more he didn't run after him say oh you misunderstood
00:26:53.520
me no he tells the 12 you want to go to there's the door and of course peter said where else can
00:26:58.000
i go you're the only one with the words of eternal life jesus is invited to somebody's house for dinner
00:27:03.180
and the pharisee noticed jesus did not wash his hands and jesus said you pharisees are more concerned
00:27:08.860
about the outside of the cup and not the inside you're like a sepulcher pretty on the outside inside
00:27:12.700
full of dead men's bones and the lawyer says well jesus by saying that you're insulting us lawyers
00:27:17.200
he was let me tell you about you lawyers you heap burdens on people too heavy to carry don't even lift
00:27:21.380
a finger you hold the keys of knowledge you don't go in you don't let anybody else in
00:27:24.480
and then the chapter ends and you wonder if they ever got around to eating dinner i mean this is
00:27:28.580
our loving jesus to the prideful he was tough as nails to the humble he was as loving as can be
00:27:32.920
god resists the poverty gives grace to the humble yeah we'll be back on that theme uh jesus uh i always
00:27:40.040
remind some of our younger folks so it was also in the trinity at the exodus uh it was the entire
00:27:46.360
godhead who which is unified in one person god and so we'll get into that uh with bill federer this
00:27:54.140
matters right the church has become passive uh we're going to also cover why the revolutionaries
00:28:01.060
and the civil war and world war ii versus settler christians had no problem fighting it's just in the
00:28:06.460
last 50 years something something fell apart and it doesn't make any sense to me back in the war room
00:28:13.100
with bill federer for all and more i want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming
00:28:19.880
to our money in our bank accounts first think back to 9-11 shortly after the government pushed through
00:28:25.900
the patriot act this gave the government power to spy on innocent americans by monitoring our phone
00:28:31.760
and email and tracking our movement across the internet now jim rickards editor of the independent
00:28:37.720
financial newsletter strategic intelligence and new york times best-selling author is warning about a
00:28:43.540
coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level in fact
00:28:49.260
some of the guests i've had on the war room believe that the government will soon expand their powers
00:28:54.120
to track our every move if we say the wrong things on social media donate to the wrong causes buy
00:29:00.900
firearms or even vote maga the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts
00:29:06.500
i can't say for sure if this will happen but it's an interesting and dire warning fortunately jim
00:29:13.320
rickards an american patriot and friend of mine has made it his mission to educate us on what he
00:29:18.580
believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money watch jim's
00:29:26.020
warning video now before it's censored like i've been in the past go to rickards war room.com
00:29:32.700
that's rickards war room.com now to see the video war room here's your host stephen k ban
00:29:40.640
back in the war room dave bratt sitting in with stephen k ban and our good friend bill federer who's
00:29:53.520
already lighting it up uh we just uh finished uh introducing the idea uh that uh jesus although
00:30:04.040
the author of love uh most of the books right i mean just go read them matthew mark luke john etc
00:30:10.900
most of the stories he's not just uh saying hey dudes let's go out for starbucks i love you
00:30:16.800
right it's not this warm uh subaru commercial of uh you know just fuzzy love but the love
00:30:24.160
is best seen in the cross uh and and that shows you the seriousness of the message we're talking about
00:30:30.740
uh and so bill federer is here with us and uh these days a lot of the young folks some in the
00:30:38.160
evangelical community the catholic communities i have uh kind of just sided with uh brother aristotle
00:30:45.100
instead of jesus and say well you just got to compromise and find a golden mean and uh there's
00:30:50.900
no sense to get uptight about this stuff and uh we're letting the republic and some of the key
00:30:57.020
principles slip through our fingers at present and so bill how do you how do you address this uh this
00:31:03.240
god of the old testament versus the god of the new testament is it two different gods uh what what's
00:31:09.360
gone wrong here in theology yeah well um i just can't help plug in my book again because that's the
00:31:14.560
whole topic of my book but jesus said who do men say that i am and some say thou art john the baptist
00:31:21.020
some elijah some jeremiah and of course peter said thou art the christ but if you think of it who was
00:31:25.740
john the baptist he stood up to the corrupt government leader king herod who was elijah he stood up to the
00:31:32.120
corrupt government leaders ahab and jezebel who was jeremiah he stood up to the corrupt government
00:31:37.400
leaders king jehoiakim and king zedekiah and they're mistaking jesus for this we have to understand
00:31:44.260
that um the uh verse that everybody knows in the bible is what leviticus 19 18 love your neighbor
00:31:51.440
as yourself do you know the verse right before it it says confront your neighbor directly so you
00:31:56.240
will not be held guilty for their sin one translation says rebuke your neighbor directly
00:32:01.120
so you will not incur their guilt upon you so here they are loving each other and they're rebuking
00:32:06.040
each other right it says better to hear the rebuke of the wise and the song of fools rebuke a wise
00:32:10.500
man he will love thee new testament john 17 if your brother sin rebuke him right timothy says reprove
00:32:16.280
rebuke rebuke now you can do it nicely uh it says uh rebuke not an elder but entreat him as a father
00:32:23.020
but you're not being silent you're speaking up you know there's a sin of commission and the sin of
00:32:29.020
omission and so the idea of um moses and aaron are called to the door of the tabernacle numbers 20
00:32:36.220
and god says gather the assembly thou and aaron speak to the rock water will come out well they
00:32:42.700
gathered the assembly and moses lifts up his rod and hits the rock once hits the rock twice water
00:32:47.900
comes out end of the chapter it says aaron will not enter the land because both of you rebelled
00:32:53.700
against my command at the waters of meribbe it's like both we just read the chapter aaron didn't do
00:32:58.140
a thing he didn't say a thing it's like yeah that's it he heard god say speak to the when moses
00:33:03.200
lifted up the rod the first time and hit the rock probably took aaron by surprise when moses lifted
00:33:07.660
up the rod the second time aaron did not protest he didn't say well moses hold it i was there i
00:33:12.260
heard him say speak no he was silent and in that instant he was guilty moses's was a sin of commission
00:33:17.660
aaron's was a sin of omission leviticus 5 is a certain sense because he did not speak up even though
00:33:23.840
he was an eyewitness or knew what happened 100 100 let me ask you about this then we'll move into
00:33:29.640
gnosticism a little bit also the presentation of the gospel in this modern period uh appears to be
00:33:37.460
what von hofer might call cheap grace there there's uh the presentation of the gospel people say i believe
00:33:43.520
uh raise your hands do whatever you will do but there's no repentance there's no turning around
00:33:50.040
john the baptist the greatest of all men came preaching the repentance right the forgiveness of sins but
00:33:56.120
repentance and is that tied into this passivity are the preachers doing their job these days from
00:34:03.260
the pulpit why is it so easy for everybody to be a christian and yet we're not showing the fruits of
00:34:09.320
the spirit especially in public we're becoming very weak and we're not standing up for uh many christian
00:34:15.280
principles in public right so in my book i go through two centuries 1600 1700 1600s you have calvinist
00:34:22.480
puritans and they have a covenant form of government that they got from ancient israel the first 400
00:34:27.300
years out of egypt and everybody's involved in church stuff and everybody's involved in civil stuff
00:34:33.480
they had one building in each town called the meeting house that's where the pastor would teach
00:34:37.060
the bible and that's where they would do their civil government and it's great it worked and the word
00:34:41.700
federal is latin for covenant but in the 1700s you had the the new lights because now puritans are called
00:34:48.080
old lights because they got a little dry and academic david brainer got expelled from yale
00:34:53.420
because he said his professor was as spiritual as a chair right um and so you had um the new light
00:34:59.720
said no it's more than a plan even if the covenant plan is good it's more than a plan you have to have
00:35:04.280
an experience with jesus and when you do your life will change and you won't do worldly things anymore
00:35:08.160
like go to bars and brothels and get involved in government it's like wait what was that last thing
00:35:12.320
yeah so we unpack this so you have martin luther starts the reformation 1517 because he had a
00:35:18.360
personal experience the just shall live by faith so personal he was willing to stand up face to face
00:35:23.540
to the most powerful guy in the world the king of spain and say unless you can prove me wrong from
00:35:28.400
scripture here i stand so help me god he stood up to the corrupt government right but some german
00:35:33.220
princes said this is my chance i've been wanting to break away from rome kingdom of mine i just decided
00:35:38.640
you're all lutherans and the people in the kingdom are like okay great we're lutheran
00:35:42.220
what do we believe and so this revival movement starts called pietism that says being a christian
00:35:47.400
is more than doctrine even if it's good doctrine you have to have an experience with jesus and when
00:35:51.520
you do you're not going to do worldly things like bars and brothels and government and it turned into
00:35:56.120
the german concept of the two kingdoms the kingdom of the government the kingdom of the church the two
00:36:00.100
don't touch there were even german princes that would donate money to the pietists so they would
00:36:04.960
teach their people not to get involved in the prince's business it's like george soros
00:36:08.600
brockefeller's giving money to woke seminaries to teach christians don't get involved at the same
00:36:12.360
time they're giving money to their lgbtq activists to get them involved right and so this idea the
00:36:17.780
puritan said you can do two things you can be a spouse and you can be a parent you can be involved
00:36:22.800
in church stuff you can be involved state stuff the pietists are like no no state stuff is dirty if
00:36:27.820
you're holy you're gonna be withdrawn so if all the holy people withdraw from government
00:36:33.780
question who's left to be involved in government but the unholy and they're going to yield to their
00:36:39.300
ambitions and become power hungry and that's what happened so after four centuries of this two church
00:36:43.900
teaching hitler seizes power in germany and he puts jews train cars and they're going right past the
00:36:49.080
church crying for help and the church's response was well that's the government doing that and we're
00:36:53.120
the church and we can't get involved in government because we're holy so let's just sing praise songs
00:36:57.280
to jesus louder it's like can anybody see there's something wrong with this picture you know i was in
00:37:02.120
colorado a couple months ago and a state rep scott bottoms introduced a bill for minimum punishment
00:37:07.080
for those caught selling one to five year old children for sex as horrible as that is every
00:37:13.160
democrat voted against it against a minimum punishment and you're like where's the church
00:37:17.560
members oh we're so holy we don't want to get involved they're selling children oh we're so holy
00:37:22.300
they're killing jews oh we're so holy it's like you know i have a question some people say well you
00:37:26.860
know i'm just going to wait for the rapture it's like i have a question who do you think you're
00:37:30.180
going to meet when you're raptured uh jesus does jesus love the little children yeah you think
00:37:35.680
you might wonder why you didn't do anything to protect them i mean china where you don't vote
00:37:39.680
we're in america where the citizen is the king the politicians are your servants and even if we can't
00:37:44.400
turn it around shouldn't we at least try and so there's the thought is maybe god is pushing the
00:37:48.960
world to a decision-making moment on purpose right the bride of christ every romance novel builds up to
00:37:54.040
what a decision-making moment a forsaking of all others and choosing the one and i think god is
00:37:57.880
he's pulling back the curtain right unlike the wizard of you know the little toto and you see
00:38:02.320
this old man behind the microphone and it's like for the first time in my life here's satan clubs on
00:38:06.860
elementary school campuses satan worshiping grand satan trans clothes designers for target disney fx a
00:38:13.000
little demon satan cartoon satan statues in the iowa state capitals like hello curtains pull back satan
00:38:17.780
and then there's people being bolded for jesus on the other side and it's almost like god saying okay
00:38:21.760
we're getting close to the end of this romance novel i need you to make your decision god devil choose
00:38:26.040
and some people are so used to going along and being accepted oh i don't want people to say bad
00:38:30.740
things about me uh i don't want somebody to leave the church i don't want them to post something
00:38:34.140
negative uh that they'll go along with it right so you have people doing evil and people that are
00:38:38.760
silent in the face of evil and that's the the concept of my book it's called the rule of tacit admission
00:38:42.840
and so in a wedding ceremony you're silent you're giving consent if there's evils going on you're
00:38:48.340
giving you're you're silent you're giving consent and and so there are some of the things you know
00:38:53.040
i was silent and i tolerated them you know um doing this and then i stretched the rubber band
00:38:58.500
and tolerated something else but i can't go with hysterectomies on little eight-year-old girls
00:39:02.540
because they went through a tomboy face i can't go with castrating a little boy because he played
00:39:06.480
with his sister dolls and you cut the rubber band and it snaps back and i think god is intentionally
00:39:10.740
pushing the world to this decision making and and if church members can be silent while they're
00:39:16.280
mutilating little innocent children i mean i two months ago uh sharon grove a state senator in
00:39:23.080
california introduces a bill to make purchasing a child for sex a felony rather than a misdemeanor
00:39:28.780
where they get two days in jail and the democrats voted against making it a felony and the democrat
00:39:34.980
state senator susan egman gets on the floor and she says i work with women i'm a social worker and
00:39:40.720
they've been abused and raped as little children and their whole life is scarred and you're more
00:39:45.360
concerned about a guy that's going to get out and do it again in two days she goes i'm done
00:39:49.300
yeah it's all bill let me uh let me pivot to this idea also i mean god created us with minds the
00:39:58.840
rabbinic tradition going way back then god integrates reason uh into you know the western uh tradition
00:40:07.480
and what's happened to our confidence in human reason it's it's one of the great gifts god gives us
00:40:13.580
right he made us free uh to think as well and the church doesn't i mean maybe it's just because we
00:40:20.520
lack courage that we we know how to think but we're not willing to act on it what what has gone
00:40:26.040
off the rails bill yeah well and then the irony of people thinking that they're holy by letting
00:40:32.900
ungodliness reign uh and to me it's like this mystery how can you sit back and and and say okay well
00:40:39.580
they're they're while you're enjoying your relationship with jesus they're teaching kids
00:40:43.700
there is no god yeah yeah and if and if he does exist he is messed up putting men and women's
00:40:48.760
bodies and you have to have operations to fix it he's either confused powerless or worse sadistic
00:40:53.340
and if that behavior is not sin what behavior well the little library books that show the kids try
00:40:58.440
this kind of sex try that kind of sex if sex outside of marriage is not sin arguably there are no sins
00:41:03.980
and if there's no sins you do not need a savior to save you from your sins so while they're enjoying
00:41:08.760
their personal relationship with jesus they're letting the gospel of antichrist be taught to their
00:41:13.040
kids right and so that the answer is the most important thing yes is to bring people to christ
00:41:17.700
but the second most important thing is to preserve the freedom to do the most important thing if you
00:41:21.800
really think we got one one more minute to go bill on that point right there you just made
00:41:27.120
this country was conceived to protect every minority right there's minority rights embedded
00:41:33.260
but that doesn't mean minority rule how in the world right and i've had dinner with people on the
00:41:40.560
other side of the aisle for me on these issues and even they agree yeah when it comes to sexualization
00:41:45.840
of kids you're right the majority should rule and we shouldn't be doing any of this uh what can we do
00:41:52.280
to correct this in about 30 seconds and then give us your coordinates on how to get you
00:41:56.620
yeah yeah well um i read through every charter of every colony and each one was started by a
00:42:01.600
different christian denomination virginia was anglican massachusetts was purulent maryland was
00:42:05.720
catholic rhode island was baptist and they didn't get along and then when the revolution started they
00:42:09.820
had to work together against the king and then i read through every state constitution nine of the
00:42:14.780
13 state constitutions required officeholders to be protestant christian three had to be a plain
00:42:19.340
christian and then there's a irish potato famine millions of irish catholics come over they're
00:42:23.900
tolerated then there's a persecution of jews in bavaria they come over
00:42:26.440
and so the christians began to expand tolerance and eventually they tolerated the atheists and the
00:42:32.260
satanists and everybody else and not everybody tolerated except the christians that founded the
00:42:35.900
country right excellent uh outstanding bill federer we're going to have you on uh many more times
00:42:42.240
you're not going to find a better presentation uh right there so i refer you to all the books

right back with you war room here's your host steven k bannon
00:43:39.860
uh keep praying for steve uh and uh we've got uh kind of a week in review series going here and uh
00:43:55.600
nobody better to tie it all together than uh a man who knows needs no introduction on the war room
00:44:02.240
mike lindell thanks for being with us mike crazy week in the news the huge debate uh with a colossal
00:44:10.200
trump uh victory then the press goes into a tailspin against biden and then a day later they come back
00:44:16.820
and circle the wagons to defend biden and now half of them are peeling off to take out biden i can't keep
00:44:22.960
it straight so explain to us what in the world is going on up there well i'll tell you i was uh i wasn't
00:44:28.900
surprised that all the media came out against uh biden after that i think it was very much planned
00:44:33.840
i thought it was planned and they thought that uh our great real president donald trump would look
00:44:38.660
bad and they thought that you know hey that biden looks bad we're gonna well he's gonna be able to
00:44:42.940
pull him out and then and uh it was funny after the debate they were all attacking him and this kind
00:44:48.420
of surprise turnaround here uh but i'm to tell everybody right now this is all they are very
00:44:54.680
worried because you know they're gonna try and cheat again in this next election we all know that
00:44:59.340
you know with the with the voting machines and everything else but they have to have a narrative
00:45:04.400
that you know that even like with polling oh this could happen this could happen right now we know
00:45:10.960
it's basically impossible that our real president would lose that's why i've been out there too dave
00:45:15.660
for the last three years trying to secure our election platforms and we've got we've got it all
00:45:21.220
laid out there if you go to lyndale plan.com everybody we're working in every county in the
00:45:26.360
united states every single one we have thousands of people and and throughout the country and and
00:45:32.700
we've got a great plan to secure our elections as much as we can be and and i believe uh like our
00:45:38.420
great real president says too too big to rig we've got to secure election platforms and do this while
00:45:44.080
we don't know what their plan is if they're going to put someone else in besides biden put someone
00:45:48.800
else in as their vp but whatever it is they're going to try and convince us yes that this could
00:45:53.680
happen biden could win when we all know it's basically a mathematical impossibility without any
00:45:59.240
cheating and uh so i'm really encouraged by everything that's going on actually um i think
00:46:04.540
it backfired on him it showed our great real president showed everybody especially when he said
00:46:09.220
the hispanics and blacks where the illegals are stealing their jobs they're taking their jobs and
00:46:15.160
people out there paying them cash so yeah it's uh i think it's a great thing and they are that's good
00:46:21.680
hey i got a question for you i went to high school up there by you in minnesota and uh i was raised in
00:46:28.680
michigan bunch of just fine people you know love sports and family and hanging out at the lake in
00:46:33.880
the summer and doing whatever and minnesota was same iowa super nice people uh overwhelmingly christian
00:46:42.720
when i grew up uh just wholesome people but they're kind of minnesota nice and they're very
00:46:48.620
passive and uh they let people run over them right and it's virgin into christians becoming so weak that
00:46:56.400
we're becoming stupid in terms of trying to love our neighbor and doing the right things to set up and
00:47:02.180
give the the next generation a shot what's gone wrong in christianity and what's your message to the
00:47:08.420
minnesota nice people to like grow a backbone well i i really believe that the last uh couple years
00:47:14.760
here has uh opened their eyes i really believe that dave we go through they're never going to be able
00:47:19.160
to force a china virus 2.0 on us we're not going to be eating out in snow banks again like we were
00:47:25.460
on the first time around and uh i mean all these things they put out you know you can't have more
00:47:30.640
than eight people in your house at thanksgiving and 12 and christmas things like this i believe it's i
00:47:36.000
believe it is getting people's eyes open and they and uh you know got a nation that turned us back
00:47:41.140
on god when i spoke at the rose card a few years ago um you know god's given us grace during this
00:47:47.440
time and you better take advantage of it and everybody better get involved that's all i say
00:47:51.840
yeah well you know i make sure you sell your pillows because i can go off on this stuff all day
00:47:59.840
but this idea that god's had grace on us and i i agree with that uh but there's no evidence right
00:48:06.240
the evidence is that uh religiosity and patriotism have gone down in the last five years so just in
00:48:12.880
closing give us some hope and then sell us some pillows man go ahead well the hope is everybody this
00:48:19.300
is opening people's eyes we're in the greatest revival for jesus christ in history people don't look
00:48:24.680
to god when things are going good it's usually when things are going bad and so i'm you know this
00:48:30.900
is the greatest time to be alive people are pouring into this bucket of common sense which is our which
00:48:35.800
is donald trump's bucket you talk politics and they're also pouring into the bucket of jesus christ
00:48:40.420
from both from everywhere this is uniting of the people and if you can't get out there and preach
00:48:46.500
