Bannon's War Room - Episode 3806： Keeping Christ First In America

00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:00:07.620 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:12.880 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:17.160 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:19.060 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:20.500 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:00:22.260 but you're not going to stop it.

00:00:23.180 It's going to happen.

00:00:24.460 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:27.860 Mega Media.

00:00:28.760 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:34.660 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:38.400 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:44.840 War Room.

00:00:45.600 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:00:53.920 Back in the War Room with Stephen K. Bannon.

00:00:56.180 Dave Brat sitting in, covering the waterfront on all things national security.

00:01:03.820 Honored to have Mike Benz back in the War Room.

00:01:07.880 Mike, I'm going to start off.

00:01:09.320 We had Mark from Rasmussen polling in earlier, and he put together a series of words that the way he put it was just so succinct and powerful.

00:01:21.040 But he basically referred to the media tsunami after now, you know, Vice President Kamala Harris and president-elect are the leading contender on the Democratic side for now.

00:01:34.780 And he just said, you know, after that media massive input, he called it a psyop, for example.

00:01:45.300 And I wanted to find out if he saw anything in the polling.

00:01:48.940 And it was still too short to tease that out.

00:01:53.220 Right. So you've got the political fundamentals built into the polling, but then you've got these, you know, millions and millions of dollars.

00:02:01.020 And I think you've got another report out kind of leading in this direction to the carve outs from unexpected sources of media bias that, in a sense, determines election outcomes.

00:02:14.740 Not in a sense, it clearly does, right?

00:02:17.260 People pay millions of dollars in marketing every day to change people's minds.

00:02:21.580 And so why don't you tee us up with your latest report and and then broaden it to to your usual line of research?

00:02:30.880 Thank you very much for being with us, Mike Benz.

00:02:34.120 Yeah. So after the 2016 election, the national security state, our foreign policy establishment, basically the the row of government gangsters, I guess, is Kash Patel.

00:02:44.740 Calls them. Some people call it the deep state. I refer to it as the blob embarked on a quest to kill advertising revenue to alternative news sources.

00:02:55.180 They blamed the loss of the 2016 election to Donald Trump and the events of of the Brexit vote in UK on the rise of alternative media, basically outflanking traditional legacy CIA, Pentagon, State Department back channeled media.

00:03:14.740 You know, these this this these bumper cars on democracy that that mainstream media had put on on the boundaries of thought and on political movements had fallen away as alternative news sources like.

00:03:27.960 The War Room, like Real America's Voice, like places like Breitbart and OAN and these right.

00:03:36.640 Basically, you know, organic grassroots, you know, citizen run podcasts or or or journalism outlets were becoming more popular than the legacy outlets themselves.

00:03:48.780 I mean, even Alex Jones at the time had more clicks on YouTube than all of CNN and in in 2018.

00:03:54.680 And so what they what they decided to do and by they I mean these government forces, the U.S.

00:04:01.100 State Department, USAID with help from the Pentagon, with help from the NGO complex, embarked on a quest to kill advertising revenue to alternative news sources.

00:04:11.100 They basically came up with a plan that it's easier to shoot the messenger than it is to kill all of the messengers, individual messages.

00:04:19.620 So while they set up the censorship complex on the one hand to kill the distribution of news stories, their ultimate goal was to kill the actual existence of alternative news organizations.

00:04:31.000 And so there are a couple elements to that. One of them is this class of censorship mercenary firms like NewsGuard, which folks may have heard of NewsGuard, Global Disinformation Index, NewsElla.

00:04:42.380 There's a there's a there's a there's a there's a pop up industry of censorship mercenary firms who now assign rating labels to news online in order to treat them the way Moody's or S&P does about about about about like debt instruments, you know, whether or not this is a junk bond or triple A rated.

00:05:04.860 They now do this with news organizations in order to create to filter this to advertising companies to kill advertising revenue to any any Web site that's deemed to be a misinformation spreader.

00:05:17.460 So, for example, NewsGuard created a blacklist of about 650 Web sites that had questioned covid orthodoxy or talked about the manmade, you know, lab leak covid origins thesis.

00:05:30.740 And then using its relationships with big global with with the big four advertisers like publicis, their their four main advertising agencies, they then got to kill billions of dollars in revenue to alternative news sources by again exploiting that relationship between the censorship gargoyles who rate the news and these and the advertising agencies who distribute corporate advertising funds to the Web sites.

00:06:00.740 And to places like Google ads.

00:06:02.740 So there's one in particular known as GARM, which is this sort of syndicate out of the world economic forum, which oversees about two point six billion dollars every year in programmatic ad spend.

00:06:13.740 And, you know, these these rating agencies are all part of it.

00:06:16.740 Now, my foundation, Foundation for Freedom Online, just did a survey of all their federal contracts.

00:06:22.740 And frankly, what we found is totally shocking.

00:06:25.740 All four of the major ad agencies, again, including publicists.

00:06:30.740 And you'll see this on the FFO report on our on our website.

00:06:33.740 But all four of them receive billions of dollars, billions with a B every year in federal government contracts.

00:06:41.740 One of them gets four billion dollars a year.

00:06:44.740 Another one gets one point eight, one point one.

00:06:47.740 Now, a lot of this comes from the Pentagon.

00:06:49.740 And this is basically the same strategy that they use to spread ESG.

00:06:53.740 It is these are the agencies that are now killing the ability to operate an independent Web site by selectively discriminating against anyone who disagrees with the U.S. State Department or who disagrees with the U.S. War Machine or who disagrees with big pharma.

00:07:10.740 Now they can't operate a Web site effectively while the entire playing field of media is rigged in favor of the government's preferred outlets.

00:07:19.740 And it's the taxpayers who are voting, you know, who are being basically having their money stolen to subsidize this.

00:07:26.740 So I think that all of these funds should be cut to to those.

00:07:31.740 These federal contracts should be cut to these ad agencies the same way that's starting to be done with ESG with places like Texas divesting from investments in BlackRock to the tune of eight billion dollars a few months ago.

00:07:43.740 And until they get rid of their ESG activism, I think the same thing has to be done on the adversaries or boycott side.

00:07:49.740 Yeah, well, and this tall all ties back into your original research on the censorship running through DHS, et cetera.

00:07:59.740 Now that, you know, in the private sector is one level.

00:08:04.460 But when you show the government is complicit, that is illegal.

00:08:08.140 Is that correct?

00:08:09.680 If the government is funding political outcomes, that's illegal.

00:08:15.380 Is that true?

00:08:17.200 Well, it should be.

00:08:18.640 We have a little bit of an uncertainty in the state of play here in the sense that there's this big Supreme Court case, which was just punted on effectively.

00:08:26.800 We, uh, there was, there was, there's, there's an effective ruling.

00:08:31.180 Yes, exactly.

00:08:32.140 Yeah.

00:08:32.480 The Murphy, Missouri case.

00:08:34.800 Now we had, we had great rulings at the trial court and appellate court level, but again, it was on a preliminary injunction.

00:08:40.540 The Supreme court made a narrow standing based ruling, kicked it back down to the lower courts.

00:08:45.440 So we're in a gray zone right now as to whether or not this actually is legal.

00:08:51.100 But, uh, I, you know, I think for now, a lot of people don't actually even realize that this is happening, that you have the government subsidizing the, the ad agencies who in turn then discriminate against conservatives, against independent outlets, even anti-war left-wing news outlets.

00:09:09.380 Uh, it's basically, you know, comes down to, again, this blob, do you agree with Hillary Clinton, if you, if you will.

00:09:17.300 So the, you, so some of these outlets, you know, uh, who are even on the left, this sort of, uh, old school Bernie Sanders aligned ones who may be NATO skeptical, even, you know, even they get dinged by outlets.

00:09:28.720 Like, like, like news guard and therefore by the big four, but, but the government should not be playing, picking winners and losers.

00:09:35.260 Yeah.

00:09:36.820 Right.

00:09:37.360 Okay.

00:09:37.620 Let's, and let's rewind it back to your opening comments.

00:09:41.180 Uh, because the other thing I want to pursue here is you said government DOD department of defense, state department, their carve outs, NGOs, et cetera.

00:09:54.680 Uh, and on, on, on prior, uh, shows I've seen you, but like on Tucker, I, I, this isn't the exact same issue, but I think you've shown, uh, that some of the mainstream news networks are carve, carve outs also, and they receive government funding, uh, CNNs, et cetera.

00:10:13.120 Is that the case as well?

00:10:15.960 Yeah, we have, we have a program known as media development or media sustainability at the state department and at USAID.

00:10:23.560 USAID plays a major role in this.

00:10:25.420 In fact, folks can look this up.

00:10:26.680 There's, we have an institution known as internews, which is a, uh, you know, basically the classic definition of, of what the CIA got busted doing in the 1950s to the 1970s with, with Project Mockingbird.

00:10:39.900 But, you know, about a third of the national endowment for democracy budget, which is a, one of these classic CIA cutouts goes to funding media organizations.

00:10:48.900 So, you know, the, it's, it's very important when you're trying to pull off an operation to create media surround sound.

00:10:55.340 So, what you do is you, you do these pop-up newsrooms, actually one of the big censorship operators in this, in this, uh, in this space known as First Draft, one of its founders, Fergus Bell, actually created this, this concept of pop-up newsrooms that you'd essentially be able to create this artificial surround sound of state department funded media organizations.

00:11:17.920 So that civilians in a particular region think something must be true because here's 42 different, different news organizations all saying the exact same thing.

00:11:28.140 So they can't all be wrong because it's sort of what the civilian thinks, not knowing the operation behind it, but not knowing that all 42 of those organizations are being funded effectively through state department or CIA pass-throughs like USAID or the national endowment for democracy.

00:11:41.300 Yeah, well, unfortunately, that's the new pattern.

00:11:47.120 I mean, I saw it in Congress.

00:11:48.740 I was a lowly freshman and all of a sudden something would start out in the Atlantic and then go to the Washington Post and then my regional newspaper and then kaboom, all over the place.

00:11:59.480 Can you give us some receipts, right?

00:12:02.440 Steve, Steve and Kay Bannon in the war room loves to have the receipts on this CIA cutout.

00:12:09.580 Can you give an example of where all these news agencies piled on to an issue?

00:12:16.580 I'll give you a great one.

00:12:17.740 You just mentioned the Atlantic.

00:12:19.020 Well, who's the – one of the star writers of the Atlantic is Ann Applebaum.

00:12:23.860 Ann Applebaum is on the board of directors of the National Endowment for Democracy, this very CIA cutout.

00:12:29.600 Don't take my word for it being a CIA cutout.

00:12:32.120 Read the New York Times or the Washington Post or the founders of the National Endowment for Democracy.

00:12:35.940 The founders of the National Endowment for Democracy, Carl Gershman and Alan Weisberg, they literally have direct quotes saying that they were set up to do what the CIA used to do but got in trouble for doing.

00:12:50.260 And they didn't want CIA fingerprints on it anymore.

00:12:53.040 So they wanted to create a private – a nominally private NGO to do it.

00:12:58.460 That way when people got busted trying to overthrow governments, it would look like it was coming from an NGO instead of from the CIA.

00:13:05.140 But there would be this Senate Intelligence Committee approved CIA back channel.

00:13:09.160 This was the deal that was struck between the CIA director, William Casey in 1983, and Ronald Reagan's attorney general.

00:13:16.120 All of this is public.

00:13:16.980 It is – it's funded by U.S. Congress.

00:13:20.340 It gets a half a billion dollars every year from U.S. taxpayers.

00:13:24.080 It's not a private NGO.

00:13:25.860 It's literally – it reports to the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

00:13:30.180 It reports to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

00:13:33.300 That's not a private entity.

00:13:35.420 They call it quasi-private because it's not like USAID where it's a formal public agency.

00:13:39.940 But it's – literally was created in a letter from the CIA director to the attorney general saying, hey, we want to do what we used to do but not have the CIA get in trouble when it all goes bottom up.

00:13:51.980 But Ann Applebaum is on the board of directors of the CIA cutout, and she was busted in something called the Integrity Initiative, a British intelligence operation in 2015 as part of the UK intercluster.

00:14:03.260 So I can go off – but this is just one example of a million.

00:14:06.460 No, we'll get you to keep going.

00:14:08.540 And I was – I lost my seat to a former CIA person.

00:14:14.160 No one knows what she did because that's a neat side story.

00:14:17.200 But there was an article in The Atlantic, and they set up one hand on her holster, the other hand on her thing, the blonde hair flowing in the wind, Tim Kaine sitting in the corner a year and a half before I ran.

00:14:27.540 And I went, uh-oh.

00:14:29.680 So we'll be back.

00:14:31.160 And that was The Atlantic, right?

00:14:32.540 So we'll be more on The Atlantic and the CIA and the carve-outs and the Integrity Project.

00:16:05.540 War Room.

00:16:06.540 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.

00:16:14.700 Dave Bratt in the War Room with Stephen K. Bannon.

00:16:17.360 Our guest, Mike Benz.

00:16:20.060 Just unbelievable research, digging into issues we couldn't have conceived of five or ten years ago.

00:16:29.860 So I'm going to stay with Mike for two minutes here just to conclude, and then we're going to go to Gordon Chang, more analysis, deeper dive on China with Gordon, who's just incredible.

00:16:42.560 But, Mike, any summary comments you want to leave us with?

00:16:45.980 And then please leave us with how people can reach you and support you, and don't be humble because the work you're doing, you're a national treasure.

00:16:54.280 Mike Benz.

00:16:55.780 Well, we were just talking about the Atlantic and the role of CIA pass-throughs like the National Endowment for Democracy and Applebaum and her role in these things.

00:17:04.300 And I think it is useful to keep in mind.

00:17:06.300 I mean, if I can leave people maybe with a code word, when you hear the word Atlantic, it's a code for Atlanticist.

00:17:12.800 You see, we have something – the rules-based international order, when it was set up in 1948, was this essentially alliance between the United States and Britain and the new formation of NATO and all the international finance structures like the World Bank and IMF that run through that.

00:17:32.480 And so we refer to that as the transatlantic alliance.

00:17:35.600 And so these structures like NATO or the Atlantic Council, which is NATO's think tank, or the Atlantic, they all run through this foreign policy blob shop.

00:17:45.260 So when you see Atlanticist or Atlantic as a word, that's usually going to be a code for the foreign policy establishment, which is diametrically opposed to any form of populism or sovereignty of nationalist nations.

00:18:01.500 So that's one thing I would say to be on the lookout for.

00:18:05.720 And, of course, all of these are government-funded.

00:18:07.680 The Atlantic Council, for example, is not just NATO's think tank.

00:18:11.180 It gets annual funding from the Pentagon, the State Department, and CIA cutouts like the National Endowment for Democracy.

00:18:17.040 In fact, all four branches of the US military, the Air Force, the Marines, the Army, and the Navy, all give annual funding to this independent think tank representing NATO.

00:18:25.740 And then the Atlantic Council then goes out and coordinates censorship as well as these sort of advertising boycott plans like the ones we were talking about at the beginning of our conversation here.

00:18:35.140 But you can follow me on X, at MikeBenzCyber.

00:18:37.820 Yeah, good, good.

00:18:44.120 At MikeBenzCyber on X, all one word.

00:18:48.160 Great.

00:18:48.660 Mike Benz, National Treasure.

00:18:50.080 Thank you.

00:18:50.580 God bless you, brother.

00:18:51.340 Thanks for being on the war room.

00:18:52.540 Thank you, man.

00:18:52.560 You too.

00:18:52.760 All right.

00:18:57.020 World of instability.

00:18:58.740 The whole show has been economic turmoil, geopolitical turmoil, China's intent.

00:19:05.240 We have Gordon Chang coming up.

00:19:07.740 But go check out HomeTitleLock.com, code word Bannon.

00:19:13.260 In a world of instability, your home is your greatest asset by far.

00:19:18.600 Think of all the payments you've sent in, all the interest you've paid.

00:19:23.520 You want to make sure you have a safe title to that asset.

00:19:28.860 HomeTitleLock.com, code word Bannon.

00:19:32.080 Go check them out right now.

00:19:33.180 It's our honor to welcome Gordon Chang to the war room.

00:19:37.160 Gordon, we've been doing a deep dive on China today with several experts, Bradley Thayer,

00:19:46.740 and then Colonel Derek Harvey was on earlier as well.

00:19:51.400 A little debate with one of our other guests on the war room, Douglas McGregor, who said we're not at war right now, and China does not want a war.

00:20:06.620 And, you know, to give him the benefit of the doubt, I think he means kinetic right now.

00:20:10.580 They can't afford it.

00:20:11.620 They don't want it.

00:20:13.100 It's a threat to their own existence.

00:20:15.420 Let's open up with that question.

00:20:16.920 What do you make of that question to you?

00:20:20.760 Gordon Chang, thanks for being with us on the war room.

00:20:23.700 Well, thanks, Dave.

00:20:24.700 Yes, China doesn't want a kinetic war. 1.00

00:20:27.600 What it wants to do is annex territories of other nations.

00:20:30.980 It wants to destroy the United States.

00:20:33.100 It wants to rule the moon and Mars as sovereign Chinese territory without war.

00:20:38.120 But the point is that China is engaging in activities right now that look very much like war.

00:20:44.100 So, for instance, China is fueling Russia's war in Ukraine.

00:20:48.520 It is fueling Iran's attack on Israel. 0.98

00:20:51.560 And along with Russia, it's fueling insurgencies in North Africa that look like wars. 0.73

00:20:56.240 So that's proxy wars on three continents.

00:20:58.600 It's also engaging in some very belligerent activities, especially with regard to the Philippines, but also with Taiwan, Japan and India.

00:21:07.680 And that means perhaps direct war.

00:21:10.420 So, really, what we're talking about is a political system in China that has incentives to go to war or at least to annex territories by intimidating opponents.

00:21:22.760 Yeah, Gordon, you kept mentioning the word fuel, fueling.

00:21:30.400 They're fueling this.

00:21:31.260 They're doing this.

00:21:31.980 They're doing Belt and Road.

00:21:33.580 They're doing a deep-sea Navy.

00:21:36.260 They're extending their tentacles and building Air Force bases everywhere.

00:21:40.960 All that is contingent, it seems to me, on having an economy that's still fairly robust.

00:21:48.940 And that seems to me – I've been following things not at your level, but as best I can.

00:21:55.220 And it seems there's a significant weakening in the Chinese economy and, therefore, hopefully, in their ability to project power in five or ten years, I hope. 1.00

00:22:08.040 What does your analysis show there?

00:22:11.420 Well, you're absolutely right about that, Dave.

00:22:13.640 The Chinese economy is not growing at the 4.7 percent pace that they claim for the second quarter of this year.

00:22:19.400 It's barely above zero.

00:22:21.500 If that, it could even be contracting.

00:22:23.580 And this inhibits their ability to pay for their military, for their internal security apparatus, for Belt and Road, and for a lot of other projects.

00:22:33.920 So China is running out of resources.

00:22:37.100 And this makes it even more dangerous.

00:22:39.040 And the reason is that Xi Jinping has got to be seeing a closing window of opportunity.

00:22:44.720 Also, he is responsible for the problems in the Chinese economy.

00:22:48.860 He's being held accountable.

00:22:50.960 I think that he needs a quick victory somewhere, with or without war, because he wants to prevent other senior Communist Party figures from challenging or even deposing him.

00:23:02.900 Now, he realizes that a war would not be popular with the Chinese people.

00:23:07.140 But as Bradley Thayer pointed out to you, they don't really care about the Chinese people.

00:23:11.760 Xi Jinping cares about his own political position.

00:23:14.200 And that means he has domestic incentives to be belligerent and provocative, which means he can take us by surprise.

00:23:23.820 Yeah.

00:23:24.420 What what are those domestic incentives?

00:23:27.640 I mean, he gave his speech a year ago, which agrees with everything you and Thayer have been saying.

00:23:33.820 Right.

00:23:34.000 We're full on Marxist, Leninist, no economic reforms.

00:23:37.880 Right.

00:23:38.420 So it looks like they were, you know, internal facing.

00:23:42.060 Prior, they were very external facing with capital markets.

00:23:47.480 Now it seems like they're trying to, you know, produce a consumer type society that's self-sufficient because they see the writing on the wall.

00:23:56.640 And then finally, he said, we want to get rid of, you know, China culture because we're, you know, which probably means Buddhism and Confucianism, et cetera. 0.98

00:24:04.860 So they're serious.

00:24:06.240 He's been sounding stale lately when it comes to that.

00:24:10.340 And so all that said, what domestic incentives is he facing?

00:24:16.640 Well, when he became China's ruler in 2012, he inherited a consensual political system, which meant that no leader got too much credit or too much blame.

00:24:27.360 But by grabbing power from everybody else, he ended up with accountability.

00:24:31.520 The other thing that Xi Jinping did was he inherited a political system where if you lost a political struggle and were forced out, you would just basically got a nice house in Beijing.

00:24:43.600 But now you get imprisoned.

00:24:45.840 You get the Communist Party will strip assets.

00:24:49.380 God knows what else.

00:24:50.560 And so Xi Jinping knows that the costs of losing a political struggle are very high.

00:24:54.540 You put that all together, and it means Xi Jinping realizes that he's being blamed for the economy.

00:25:00.660 He's being blamed for the demographic problems.

00:25:03.320 He's being blamed for everything else.

00:25:05.580 And that means he knows that he's personally at risk, which means he knows he needs a quick win to silence other Communist Party figures from deposing him.

00:25:15.980 Yeah, outstanding.

00:25:17.980 Yeah, outstanding.

00:25:19.280 That was as clear as I've ever heard.

00:25:21.700 OK, give us your crystal ball then.

00:25:24.260 Where does he pick up a win?

00:25:27.340 Philippines.

00:25:28.340 We've been talking about this for quite some time because, first of all, a war on Taiwan would be very difficult for China and would be very unpopular with the Chinese people.

00:25:39.600 With the Philippines, he thinks they're an easy target. 1.00

00:25:42.100 He doesn't think the United States will defend them despite our 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty.

00:25:47.540 He doesn't respect the Biden administration's warning about the Philippines.

00:25:51.380 And on June 17th, we saw China seize two Philippine craft, injure eight Filipino sailors, one of them seriously.

00:25:59.380 We saw some things which are basically acts of war at Second Thomas Shoal.

00:26:04.360 That's where I think the problems will be.

00:26:06.180 But they could be anywhere, Dave.

00:26:07.480 It could be Japan, which we saw provocative activities last week.

00:26:12.340 Everywhere.

00:26:15.860 Yeah.

00:26:16.700 Gordon, I think you have a new book out.

00:26:19.200 Why don't you tell people, pitch the title, how they get the book, your coordinates, and how people can communicate with you?

00:26:28.380 Yeah.

00:26:28.720 Newsmax will be publishing a book called Plan Red, China's Project to Destroy America.

00:26:35.100 It'll be out on October 1st.

00:26:36.700 You can preorder it.

00:26:37.700 People can – I archive my articles for free on my website, which is www.gordinchang.com.

00:26:45.120 But the best place to get a hold of me, Twitter or X, at Gordon G. Chang, G-O-R-D-O-N-G-C-H-A-N-G.

00:26:54.680 Gordon Chang will also be with us at Liberty University at the CEO Summit, September 23 to 25.

00:27:04.520 CEOs out there, please contact me if you're interested in that.

00:27:10.000 But Gordon Chang has just been a national treasure, consistent thinking on China for years in a row.

00:27:17.960 And that matters these days when there's so much hype in politics.

00:27:23.560 Gordon, any closing thoughts you want to leave us with?

00:27:25.780 Ten seconds.

00:27:27.440 This is the most consequential and most dangerous time in history.

00:27:31.520 You know, it's even more dangerous than the Cuban Missile Crisis because we know then that neither Khrushchev nor Kennedy were willing to use their nukes.

00:27:38.800 We don't know that about Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un, and Vladimir Putin.

00:27:43.180 They are marching on the world, and we have a president who has checked out and not defending our country.

00:27:50.300 Yeah, there you have it in succinct form.

00:27:52.920 Gordon Chang, go buy his book.

00:27:55.620 National Treasure.

00:27:56.600 Gordon, thank you very much for being on The War Room.

00:27:58.840 God bless you.

00:27:59.460 I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.

00:28:09.960 First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.

00:28:13.960 This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet.

00:28:21.980 Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence, and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.

00:28:36.040 In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move.

00:28:43.420 If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.

00:28:54.440 I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.

00:28:59.980 Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.

00:29:12.300 Watch Jim's warning video now, before it's censored like I've been in the past.

00:29:18.080 Go to RickardsWarRoom.com.

00:29:20.080 That's RickardsWarRoom.com now to see the video.

00:29:24.320 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:29:32.500 Dave Bratton, War Room with Stephen K. Bannon.

00:29:35.600 We have just had an abundance of riches and talent with us today on the show.

00:29:44.180 We now have William Federer on.

00:29:47.220 We had David Barton earlier.

00:29:50.240 William Federer was on a few weeks back.

00:29:52.600 Everybody loved him.

00:29:54.420 He's just a wealth of knowledge.

00:29:58.760 William, welcome to the show.

00:30:01.160 I'll lead off with a simple question.

00:30:03.920 We'll dig in.

00:30:04.820 Earlier today, I characterized the essence of Christianity as John the Baptist comes preaching forgiveness of sins.

00:30:16.640 I asked David Barton, I said, is that Christianity in its succinct form?

00:30:22.540 I also pointed out that Christians sometimes give ourselves a bad image because we do a little bit too much judging and not enough forgiving.

00:30:32.080 We turn into Pharisees instead of being humble because of Jesus and the forgiveness of sins in the Christian tradition. 0.99

00:30:42.900 And so do you think that's a crystallization of the gospel just to get us started off?

00:30:50.400 It's good.

00:30:51.300 Some folks are not familiar with religions at all.

00:30:53.760 And feel free to differ.

00:30:54.980 However, you would summarize the essence of Christianity.

00:30:59.480 Right.

00:31:00.020 Well, Judeo-Christian faith gave birth to the concept of the individual.

00:31:05.280 Every other group, culture, kingdom, your worth is dependent on the group.

00:31:10.680 They call it honor-shame culture.

00:31:12.620 And they're kings.

00:31:14.360 And so if you're worth something to the government, the king, your worth goes up.

00:31:18.020 If you're not supporting them, your worth goes down.

00:31:21.160 And if you're their enemy, you're dead.

00:31:22.860 It's called treason.

00:31:24.320 And the king dictates beliefs.

00:31:26.940 And so when Nebuchadnezzar blows the trumpet, you have to bow to the statue.

00:31:30.320 And but the idea that you have a worth, irregardless of any group, you have a worth because you're made in the image of the creator.

00:31:37.940 And this creator is not a respecter of persons.

00:31:41.100 That basically is the origin of the very concept of individual.

00:31:45.160 And so when we say in our declaration that all men are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, it exalts the individuals.

00:31:54.600 So in Europe, you had a creator, king, people.

00:31:59.740 And so the king was like a lieutenant, was a go-between between you and the creator.

00:32:03.660 And in America, we leave out the king.

00:32:05.860 And we say that the creator gives the rights to each individual person.

00:32:09.600 And we're all equal.

00:32:10.580 And we choose our leaders bottom up.

00:32:12.620 So John F. Kennedy, in his inaugural address, said that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.

00:32:23.420 And then Truman's inaugural address.

00:32:25.740 He said, we believe all men are created equal because we're created in the image of God.

00:32:30.240 And then Eisenhower said, in some states, the lands, the state claims to be the author of human rights.

00:32:36.140 If the state gives rights, it can and inevitably will take away those rights.

00:32:41.900 Our founders had to refer to the creator in order to make our revolutionary experiment make sense.

00:32:47.020 We had to claim we had rights directly from the king, from the creator, and the king was infringing on our God-given rights.

00:32:53.500 But if there is no creator, then the rights come from the government, right?

00:32:56.960 The social contract with the government giveth, the government can taketh away it.

00:33:00.280 So politically, you boil down the Bible beliefs to the concept of the individual.

00:33:09.000 Yeah, well, and so, you know, modern liberalism, not the advanced Marxism we're currently living under, but the old liberals kind of shared those beliefs.

00:33:18.560 And the common refrain would be, well, that's nice you Christians did all that nice work and founded all the Harvards and the universities and the hospitals and everything and gave us human rights language on top of it that framed, you know, the post-World War II liberal order.

00:33:35.160 And so what's the big hang-up?

00:33:37.660 And so I want to push us back to the big, can you have this idea of a creator God that creates us in his own image, and can you retain that without the full force and energy of the gospel behind it?

00:33:55.420 That's why I wanted to start off with, where's the animating power that took, you know, a millennium, right?

00:34:01.260 The rabbis, the rabbinic tradition, they were debating and using reason way back.

00:34:06.960 And then, you know, things start kicking off, you know, Magna Carta and rationality and the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, etc.

00:34:15.460 But all that was within the context of the Judeo-Christian tradition that started with that gold nugget of faith and forgiveness, etc.

00:34:24.440 And so I was trying to, what do you think the motivating original position is that got us that logic?

00:34:34.040 And can we keep the logic without that animating force of God and the Holy Spirit or however you want to frame it?

00:34:41.320 Right. I do not think that you can.

00:34:43.860 I think you need to have the concept of a Judeo-Christian creator.

00:34:47.940 You know, liberals really don't believe in equality.

00:34:50.800 They believe in intersectionality, that your worth is dependent on what group you belong to.

00:34:57.620 And the more minority groups you belong to, your worth goes up. 1.00

00:35:00.500 And if you're not part of those groups, your worth goes down.

00:35:03.440 But you go back to the Bible.

00:35:05.260 You go back to individuals are made in the image of the creator.

00:35:09.280 So irregardless of what group you belong to, you have worth.

00:35:12.800 Now, I want to point out the two parts of the Old Testament.

00:35:16.860 It's important to understand this.

00:35:18.560 There's the pre-King Saul and post-King Saul.

00:35:21.500 So the most common form of government in world history is kings.

00:35:25.220 Nimrod, Pharaoh, Caesar, Kaiser, Sultan, and the kingdoms get bigger because with the latest military advancements, kings can kill more people.

00:35:32.700 So instead of king killing Abel with a rock, they can kill with a bronze weapon, an iron weapon, a phalanx spear, symmetry, sword, gunpowder.

00:35:38.740 A king is basically a glorified gang leader.

00:35:41.100 And your worth is dependent on how well you can serve him.

00:35:44.980 And the people say, I thought slavery started in 1619.

00:35:49.400 No, wherever you had the first king on top, you had slaves on the bottom.

00:35:52.520 So around 1400 BC, 1400 BC, you have millions of Israelites come out of Egypt.

00:35:58.440 And for 400 years, there's no king.

00:36:01.320 Everyone is equal and accountable to God.

00:36:04.740 So you're about to steal.

00:36:05.600 Nobody's around.

00:36:06.440 And then you think God is watching me.

00:36:08.080 He wants me to be fair.

00:36:09.240 He's going to hold me accountable in the future.

00:36:11.340 Maybe I should hesitate.

00:36:12.360 Stealing creates a little tiny thing in your head called the conscience.

00:36:15.300 So if everybody believes this, you can maintain order with no police, with no king.

00:36:20.300 But Israel, after 400 years, the priest stopped teaching the law.

00:36:23.800 Every man did what was right in their own eyes, turns into chaos.

00:36:26.240 They all go to Samuel, the prophet.

00:36:27.560 They say, we want to be like the other countries.

00:36:29.640 We want a king.

00:36:30.700 And they get King Saul.

00:36:32.340 Now, why is this story important?

00:36:34.240 Because the kings of Europe look to the Bible for their authority, but they look to the King 0.95

00:36:39.000 Saul and on part of the Bible, divine rod of kings, God chose me.

00:36:42.680 The Calvinist Puritans that founded New England look to the pre-King Saul part of the Bible.

00:36:47.200 So King Saul is the divider between England and America.

00:36:50.100 Why is this important?

00:36:51.640 Romans 13, the passage that says, let everyone be subject to the governing authorities.

00:36:56.580 Romans 13 is understood differently in a monarchy versus a republic.

00:37:00.820 In a monarchy, subjects submit to the king.

00:37:04.920 In a republic, the citizens are the king, right?

00:37:08.800 The politicians are your servants.

00:37:10.300 You hire them, you fire them. 0.57

00:37:11.300 So basically, America is modeled after the Hebrew Republic. 0.66

00:37:15.900 That's why they taught Hebrew at Yale and Harvard, the first 400 years out of Egypt. 0.95

00:37:20.180 And the kings of Europe look to the post-King Saul period of the Bible, this divine rod of kings.

00:37:25.840 So it's important for us to understand that because you have pastors saying, oh, submit to the government.

00:37:31.340 It's like, well, you need to go over and live in a monarchy.

00:37:33.420 Go over and submit to Xi Jinping, right?

00:37:36.040 When the government blows the trumpets, you bow to the statue.

00:37:38.160 But the founders of America look to the pre-King Saul part of the Bible.

00:37:42.140 Millions of people, everybody taught the law and personally accountable to God to follow it.

00:37:47.680 Yeah, so the modern liberal mind and intellect is far superior to ours.

00:37:54.320 And so they do advanced logic and they say, well, that's all nice.

00:37:58.140 But, you know, even Jesus, he just said, all you got to do is love, right?

00:38:01.580 The two great commands.

00:38:03.560 The Jews had 613 commands in the Torah, the Ten Commandments.

00:38:08.200 And Jesus is the fulfillment of the law.

00:38:10.200 And he said, all you got to do is love people.

00:38:11.920 Love God with all your heart, mind and soul.

00:38:13.760 Love your neighbor as yourself.

00:38:14.820 And all the malls now have big love signs out in front of them.

00:38:19.520 And that's the essence and fulfillment of the law.

00:38:23.260 So, you know, and if you do that, you know, that's great.

00:38:27.660 It's kind of like you're acknowledging everyone's made in the image of God.

00:38:31.000 So what's wrong with that take?

00:38:32.460 Well, you know, the verse, love your neighbor as yourself is Leviticus 19.18.

00:38:40.980 Do you know the verse right before it?

00:38:43.380 The verse right before it says, confront your neighbor directly so you will not be held guilty

00:38:49.320 for their sin.

00:38:50.540 Love your neighbor as yourself.

00:38:52.420 Wait a second.

00:38:53.020 Confront your neighbor directly so you'll not be held guilty for their sin.

00:38:56.860 For 400 years, there was no police in ancient Israel.

00:39:00.040 Everybody was taught the law.

00:39:02.920 Everybody helped enforce the law.

00:39:05.900 Right?

00:39:06.300 And so this idea of you are responsible.

00:39:09.180 You don't just love, love, love.

00:39:10.580 You correct.

00:39:11.880 And so another translation of that says, rebuke your neighbor directly and you will not incur

00:39:17.480 guilt because of him.

00:39:19.840 Proverbs 9, rebuke a wise man and he'll love you.

00:39:22.280 Proverbs 27, open rebuke is better than hidden love. 0.97

00:39:25.900 Ecclesiastes 7, better to hear the rebuke of the wise than the song of fools. 0.84

00:39:29.060 New Testament, if your brother sinned, rebuke him. 0.98

00:39:31.840 Right?

00:39:32.020 And so they basically stripped Christianity of its backbone.

00:39:36.300 You know, parents are faced with this every day.

00:39:38.500 You love your child.

00:39:39.400 You love your child.

00:39:40.140 You want to hug your child all day long.

00:39:41.580 But at some point, you have to correct your child.

00:39:44.120 And in ancient Israel, there was no police.

00:39:46.140 It was the people.

00:39:47.540 And so they loved each other and they corrected each other.

00:39:52.340 You have a book related to that concept.

00:39:55.520 What's the implication there if you don't rebuke?

00:39:58.540 It says, it implies you'll be held to account.

00:40:01.820 What's that mean in the Hebrew text?

00:40:04.000 And what's it mean in the Judeo-Christian tradition currently?

00:40:07.780 Yeah.

00:40:08.040 So the apostle Paul in Acts 22 is talking to the Lord and he says,

00:40:12.180 And when they shed the blood of thy martyr Stephen, I stood there silent, consenting to

00:40:15.820 his death.

00:40:16.320 Paul didn't throw a stone or say a word, but he knew he was guilty just by standing there

00:40:19.800 silent.

00:40:20.600 Proverbs 24 says, Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to death.

00:40:23.580 Don't stand back and let them die.

00:40:24.880 Don't try to disclaim responsibility by saying you didn't know about it.

00:40:28.580 For God who knows all hearts knows yours.

00:40:30.460 And he knows that you knew.

00:40:31.800 You know, the wedding ceremony, the pastor says, anybody against this wedding speak now

00:40:38.060 or forever hold your peace.

00:40:40.040 If you are holding your peace, you're giving consent to the wedding vows.

00:40:43.880 It's called the rule of tacit admission, T-A-C-I-T. 0.98

00:40:47.740 And so if a church member's silence gives consent to wedding vows, it gives consent to other

00:40:51.600 things.

00:40:52.200 And if they're killing babies in the community and the church members are silent, they're 0.99

00:40:55.400 getting consent to killing babies. 0.96

00:40:57.300 I mean, they have a tactic. 0.98

00:40:58.720 It's to guilt trip Christians into being more Christian than Christ. 0.99

00:41:02.100 They say, if you're really Christian, you'll be silent while we teach your kids the trans 1.00

00:41:04.780 agenda.

00:41:05.380 Question, would Jesus teach the trans agenda? 0.68

00:41:07.760 We know what Jesus taught.

00:41:08.820 Matthew 19, he who made them at the beginning made them male and female.

00:41:12.260 So they're trying to say, if you're really Christian, you'll let us teach something Jesus

00:41:14.920 would never teach.

00:41:15.900 So if you're really Christian, you won't act like Christ. 1.00

00:41:18.180 I mean, think of it.

00:41:18.720 Here are teachers who cannot even define woman, yet they think they can tell that a little 0.81

00:41:23.100 boy is supposed to be a little girl.

00:41:24.380 It's insanity.

00:41:25.680 And Jesus said, if you allow one of these little ones who believes in me to stumble,

00:41:28.880 better than a millstone be put around your neck.

00:41:30.620 So it's going to be a rude awakening for all those church members that say, oh, we don't

00:41:34.780 get involved in politics.

00:41:35.560 When they realize by their silence, they're giving consent to all the wicked.

00:41:38.660 They're inviting judgment on their heads.

00:41:41.980 Yeah.

00:41:42.300 Well, that's what I was getting at.

00:41:44.000 We're going to, we got a minute and a half.

00:41:45.940 But, you know, you look back at Jonathan Edwards and sinners in the hands of an angry God.

00:41:51.960 And when I was a kid listening to my Presbyterian minister up there, I was like, he was, he knew

00:41:57.120 what I was, I said, man, how's he know I'm doing all this stuff, right?

00:42:00.020 He's calling me out on that thing.

00:42:01.580 And this, he's, he knows me internally, right?

00:42:04.420 And you had a conscience formed and there were implications and they involved God's judgment.

00:42:08.920 And in the afterlife, a thing called hell, no one will dare mention it these days because 0.75

00:42:13.480 you're a big meanie.

00:42:15.180 But is, is that tied into the moral implications of silence here?

00:42:19.540 That, that seems to be quite a motivating concept.

00:42:22.740 And if it's missing in the modern world, maybe that's part of our problem.

00:42:26.720 Yeah.

00:42:27.140 I think, you know, if we're not going to play a good offense, let's at least play a good

00:42:30.980 defense.

00:42:31.700 In other words, if the body of Christ is not serious about taking, you're spreading the gospel,

00:42:35.720 at least don't keep your mouth shut when they're mutilating little children.

00:42:38.940 You know, in California, a couple of months ago, Sharon Grove, a Senator introduced a bill

00:42:43.280 to make purchasing a child for sex, a felony versus a misdemeanor with two days in jail.

00:42:49.480 And the Democrats voted to keep it a misdemeanor and the Democrat Senator, Susan Eggman, she rebukes

00:42:56.520 her own party.

00:42:57.060 She goes, I'm a social worker.

00:42:58.040 I work with women who've been abused as children and they're wounded and they're dealing with

00:43:01.460 it their whole lives.

00:43:02.220 And you're more concerned about this guy that's going to go out and do it again in two days.

00:43:04.940 And where's the church?

00:43:06.840 Oh, we're so spiritual.

00:43:07.640 We don't want to get involved.

00:43:09.160 They're selling children.

00:43:10.700 Oh, we're so spiritual.

00:43:11.540 We don't want to get involved.

00:43:12.720 Right. 1.00

00:43:12.880 They're killing Jews. 0.99

00:43:13.860 We don't want to get involved. 0.96

00:46:05.860 They're supporting us here.

00:46:07.320 And please spread this platform in every way you can.

00:46:10.740 Our good friends who put this platform forward every day in supporting Stephen K. Bannon.

00:46:18.780 All right.

00:46:19.720 We're back with William Federer, who's been doing a tour de force across the Judeo-Christian tradition and the moral insights embedded in that Christian tradition.

00:46:30.940 William, give us—today, truth is under attack.

00:46:39.160 Our universities, right, Harvard was founded on truth for Christ in church.

00:46:44.420 Then we went kind of a secular model with the modern liberals who you could at least debate, right, and share data with.

00:46:51.940 And now we're living in a postmodern world, a Marxist world that just openly rejects God.

00:47:01.540 People haven't figured out the consequences of that, that if you reject God, according to Marx, you're also rejecting the entire superstructure created by the capitalists.

00:47:11.740 You're rejecting any metaphysics, you're rejecting any theoretical terms like love, justice, human rights.

00:47:21.300 Marxists, in their core, are materialists.

00:47:23.920 They don't believe that the realm of human rights exists because, as you said earlier, they don't believe that we're made in the image of God.

00:47:32.660 So can you share your insights on how the biblical setup, the image of God, if we lose track of that, where do we stand in this modern, postmodern world, and how do we fight back in a Christian way?

00:47:50.000 Right.

00:47:50.420 Well, great questions, Dave.

00:47:53.020 And there's four progressions that we can see.

00:47:58.100 We went from the pilgrims and Puritans founding New England, and you literally had churches founding cities.

00:48:06.260 So you had a Baptist pastor, Roger Williams, and his Baptist church founding the city of Providence, Rhode Island.

00:48:13.920 And you had Pastor Thomas Hooker and his congregational church founding a city, Hartford, Connecticut.

00:48:21.280 Everybody's involved in church, and everybody's involved in city government.

00:48:25.140 Why?

00:48:25.420 Because it's the church founding the city.

00:48:28.100 Right?

00:48:28.800 They would have one building in each town called the Meeting House.

00:48:31.340 That's where the pastor would teach the Bible as to do their city business.

00:48:34.660 So this is called a covenant form of government.

00:48:37.740 And you picture it at a triangle.

00:48:39.480 You get blessings from God.

00:48:41.920 You voluntarily share them with your neighbor because you're doing it as unto God.

00:48:46.280 You get rights from the Creator.

00:48:49.000 You're fair to your neighbor because you're accountable to God.

00:48:52.300 So this covenant form of government in the next century was the Age of Enlightenment.

00:48:57.240 And God turned into a distant God.

00:49:01.140 And yeah, he's there and created stuff, but he's not involved.

00:49:03.580 So covenant turned into social contract.

00:49:07.060 Right?

00:49:07.400 You had Kepler, Copernicus, Galileo discovering laws of planetary motion, laws of physics, laws

00:49:11.860 of optics, laws of Robert Boyle, laws of pressure.

00:49:14.480 And so some theologian says, well, maybe God made everything with laws.

00:49:17.080 And like a guy winds up a clock and goes on a walk.

00:49:19.840 It's still there, but he made it, but he's not involved.

00:49:23.240 And so we go from the Pilgrim Covenant with a God that's right there to the Age of Enlightenment,

00:49:28.840 a social contract with a distant God.

00:49:30.640 Next century, it's the French Revolution. 0.93

00:49:32.960 And it's social contract with no God.

00:49:35.720 You get your rights from the group.

00:49:36.880 You're accountable to the group.

00:49:38.280 Next century, it's Marxism and socialism where the state is God.

00:49:42.740 Right?

00:49:43.180 You get your rights from the state.

00:49:44.840 You're held to the state. 0.95

00:49:45.780 And if the state thinks you're not pulling your weight, the state can kill you.

00:49:49.200 What's wrong with that?

00:49:49.940 There's no God.

00:49:51.120 And your worth is if you can contribute to the state.

00:49:54.620 And so this progression is how we've gotten there.

00:49:58.240 And to get back to it, we have to go back and realize, no, we have rights from a creator.

00:50:03.080 And the government's purpose is to guarantee to you your creator given rights.

00:50:07.540 If there is no creator, where do your rights come from?

00:50:10.340 They come from the state.

00:50:12.020 Right.

00:50:12.140 Well, what the state giveth, the state can taketh away.

00:50:14.620 It was Eisenhower who said our founding fathers had to refer to the creator in order to make

00:50:20.180 their revolutionary experiment make sense.

00:50:22.440 He goes, in some lands, the state claims to be the author of human rights.

00:50:26.020 If the state gives rights, it can and inevitably will take away those rights.

00:50:31.100 We're running up against a deadline.

00:50:33.400 We're going to get you back.

00:50:34.420 Everybody loves you.

00:50:35.320 William Federer, everybody go buy his books.
