this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going to
00:00:09.480
medieval on these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people
00:00:16.080
the people have had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you've tried
00:00:20.080
to do everything in the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen
00:00:23.280
and where do people like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any
00:00:31.260
of these people had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that
00:00:38.000
answer is to save my country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k band
00:00:53.280
back in the war room dave bratt sitting in for the great stephen k bannon uh our honor privilege to
00:00:58.940
have megan basham in the house with us today uh she's written a new york times bestseller uh shepherds
00:01:06.940
for sale uh for those not familiar with the term shepherd of course jesus is the great shepherd
00:01:11.260
and the pastors in the churches are supposed to be the shepherds who guide and care and love
00:01:16.320
uh for their sheep instead some of the shepherds are being funded by the left i could give several
00:01:22.460
stories i know where people have gotten a million dollar check and all of a sudden the homilies and
00:01:27.540
the sermons and the lessons on immigration have shifted uh from rule of law and and and uh you know
00:01:34.220
u.s constitutional uh beliefs to uh straight on open borders marxist teachings etc uh and so megan uh you
00:01:43.720
you tallied up many of these huge foundations that used to affect me in academia as well
00:01:50.440
and those billionaires can put huge pressure on academic institutions uh and so uh why don't you
00:01:58.280
name a few of those again and then what is the philosophy what's their underlying worldview and
00:02:04.140
what are they really trying to push at the end of the day and using the churches to do so
00:02:08.640
well i'm glad you brought up academic institutions because this is exactly the same model that we saw
00:02:14.860
there we saw that march through the institutions and now they are coming to the church and that's to be
00:02:20.360
expected because it's a it's a captive audience where people go to learn how to live their lives
00:02:24.440
so to give you just one example um george soros's open society foundation has been instrumental
00:02:30.660
in backing uh an evangelical front group called the evangelical immigration table that pushes the very
00:02:39.080
kind of open border policies that you just mentioned for instance they lobbied against trump's uh remain
00:02:45.340
in mexico policy and they wrote a public letter signed by a lot of well-known pastors and ministry
00:02:51.640
leaders to get the biden administration to end that policy he did we can now see what has happened you
00:02:57.700
could ask the families of people like lake and riley uh what the result of that has been and you see
00:03:03.380
that on any number of initiatives and their reason for doing that is one george soros has been
00:03:09.540
completely transparent that he wants open borders they want a a global rule so they want us answering
00:03:16.180
to the european union to the wef the same way so many of those european cultures do and part of that
00:03:23.340
is to break down the sovereignty of nations and he has been explicit in that so what they have now done
00:03:29.580
is they have harnessed the power of these pulpits in order to try to get that message out to get the
00:03:35.840
power of these evangelical leaders in the hopes that it will trickle down to the rank and file in the
00:03:41.060
pews and what i really want to say is that this is not new if you go back to the 1930s 40s 50s you see
00:03:48.460
the communist party usa doing the exact same thing with the evangelical mainline institutions that were
00:03:55.860
dominant at the time they would take christian lingo and christian jargon to try to suppress that christian
00:04:02.000
vote to try to suppress their influence in the public square and that's the exact same thing
00:04:06.580
that we see them doing today and part of what they're doing is appealing to pluralism saying well
00:04:11.860
christians need to not be divisive they need to not culture war by which they mean you need to not stand
00:04:17.760
for that which is morally good in the civic sphere and when we do that well scripture has something to
00:04:23.740
say about that and what it has to say is that if we see what is good and we see what is right and we
00:04:29.680
refuse to do it then we're in sin so what they're really trying to do is suppress the consciences
00:04:35.920
of evangelical voters and evangelical christians yep no that's exactly right i've been reading a book
00:04:43.060
by r.r reno called return of the strong gods and he goes back to the open society and its enemies by
00:04:50.340
popper and then by soros and it's fairly stunning right that the open society is open to who they want
00:04:57.460
to be open to uh they're not open to about seven billion people on this planet uh who live religious
00:05:04.340
lives uh right they're only open to the secular folks like you say the atheists are open to but
00:05:10.420
the religious people they're absolutely close to russian culture china culture certainly christians
00:05:15.760
jews uh muslims confucians buddhists etc uh and so you're spot on and uh it it's up to the american
00:05:26.020
people uh to recognize this that's why these these shows on the war room are so essential what what
00:05:31.820
megan is sharing with you is just pure gold uh right here uh and so megan uh lift up the spirits
00:05:37.940
of the folks uh give them some sense of urgency uh why is it so important for christians to vote a lot
00:05:43.320
of young evangelicals sometimes say well jesus didn't do politics and and politics is dirty business
00:05:49.480
uh and so you know christians shouldn't be involved uh in in uh the political sphere uh what does god
00:05:56.100
and the bible and what do you have to say uh in response uh to get to get our energy level up
00:06:01.320
well what i would have to say is that you have to notice the little trick there and what they're doing
00:06:05.680
is taking biblical imperatives and moral issues and they're trying to tarnish them by saying oh that's
00:06:11.120
a political issue whether we destroy the bodies of young children with uh gender indoctrination
00:06:17.340
and mutilation that is a moral issue and we can be certain that jesus would have something to say
00:06:22.060
about that and what we know is that we are commanded to rescue those being led away to death and we live
00:06:28.600
in a representative republic where our vote is one way we can do that so i would say if you are refusing
00:06:34.600
to participate in that system to use your vote and your voice and the power that is invested in you
00:06:40.640
in this democratic republic then you are failing to rescue those being led away to death you are failing
00:06:46.320
to protect the innocent and i do believe that you'll be held to account for that
00:06:50.500
yep i agree with you and uh so does god and the the hebrew uh scripture and the holy bible uh and
00:06:59.940
every other uh faith tradition even our even our great predecessors the greeks just by human reason
00:07:06.480
uh talked about the afterlife and they knew there had to be judgment in the afterlife right socrates and
00:07:14.140
plato and aristotle all reached similar conclusions just by reason alone and then we you know we're
00:07:19.720
treated to you know special revelation in our tradition uh and speaking of traditions the left also plays
00:07:26.100
a little trick i like the word you just use with the trick uh the uh the left plays a trick you know
00:07:31.380
they're against uh christianity they say there's this wall of separation which of course there is not
00:07:36.500
and all of our founders uh wrote and the christians if anything they're guilty of being too
00:07:41.520
too tolerant uh of the of the marxist position over time uh but the left can never name their worldview
00:07:48.400
or philosophy or theology and we got nothing to debate they just say we're for this secular thing
00:07:54.700
right and so i'm just interested in your comments right if the new york times is writing or the
00:07:59.280
washington post or the atlantic uh they'll talk about the term good uh but that's precisely the
00:08:05.320
question of the entire uh judeo-christian west what is it to be good right i i used to teach
00:08:11.900
alistair mcintyre aristotelian guy and he gave a great story on the greeks right and uh there's a
00:08:18.080
famous phrase uh uh you know the the greek king uh good though you are right this was in the uh with
00:08:25.540
brad pitt in the iliad i think a good king though you are don't rape that slave girl brisius
00:08:32.320
right and so good in the greek tradition meant you're the king you're good period no matter what
00:08:37.220
you do right even if you rape the slave girl brisius you're still morally good people don't
00:08:42.560
understand there are very different debates on what human goodness entails uh we certainly reject that
00:08:48.120
view uh and so what do you make of this trick the left place talking about well we're secular when
00:08:53.540
secular has no meaning right and you know i i think what you have to look at is the fact that it is a
00:09:00.040
very postmodern ideal where they have no fixed uh understanding of what moral good is other than
00:09:06.340
what allows them to seize more power and if they're telling us okay here's the best way to live your life
00:09:12.260
and it is this marxist collective idea of what is good but of course that never works out in the real
00:09:17.680
life because as paul kanger says uh communism is where socialists go to heaven it never actually works
00:09:25.300
on on the uh physical plane and that's what we see with these guys is that they don't want to engage
00:09:31.220
with how these policies ultimately impact people because they know that while it gives them power it's
00:09:38.280
incredibly destructive to the vast majority of the human population so when we look at that um i always
00:09:45.720
want to just let people know that what they're doing is they're stealing your language and they're
00:09:50.000
smuggling in this ideology under jargon like um with immigration they will say welcome the stranger
00:09:57.200
or love your neighbor but what they fail to see is how incredibly damaging it is to your citizen neighbor
00:10:03.400
to have their housing prices driven up to have their um uh gas prices go up to to to have crime in their
00:10:12.540
streets and sex trafficking on their border so these things are incredibly destructive things but it's
00:10:18.340
really about a will to power with the left it is not about a transcendent moral good and if it was
00:10:25.120
you would not have all of these secularists who by the way do not believe in the god of the bible they do
00:10:30.580
not believe in jesus christ they do not believe in the judeo-christian tradition what they're doing is
00:10:36.020
taking it and trying to smuggle their ideology into it in this sort of syncretistic merging and that's what
00:10:43.600
they're doing because they do not believe in these things they're atheists uh sometimes they are east
00:10:48.220
eastern mystics but they don't actually believe in what these churches and christian institutions teach
00:10:53.320
they are just infiltrating them to use them for their purposes
00:10:57.200
yeah very well said uh it's uh interesting the marxist right and the neo-marxist uh we've been
00:11:06.480
pointing out on this show this sexual mutilation of children whatever the marxist wouldn't uh even think
00:11:11.740
about doing that to their own people right in russia and china they save that for the traditions they
00:11:16.440
want to destroy so when you see those teachings uh surfacing over here you know you've got a real
00:11:22.720
uh problem on your hands uh and marxism right we used to you know too many ceos and whatever they say
00:11:31.760
well it's cute you know you're my kids go off to these elite schools and elite schools and they learn
00:11:36.340
this marxist stuff and isn't that cute uh now it's not so cute anymore uh and we're learning uh what
00:11:43.340
marxism really is right materialism uh no belief in god uh but for the secular folks listening out there
00:11:50.340
so you you know you may be concerned with a few of these other issues uh if you're not uh religious
00:11:56.080
marxism also rejects uh human rights language right human rights do not have any existence on their own
00:12:03.820
right matter in motion it's a bunch of molecules there's no no such thing as rights that uh are
00:12:08.940
out there civil rights uh minority rights women's rights none of those exist and in marxist societies
00:12:16.140
you clearly see that play out uh and so going back to your book again megan uh how in the world
00:12:23.120
these shepherds are clergy shepherds for sale just going back to your title it's so brilliant and so
00:12:31.180
powerful uh what is going on who is being bought off and who are these people in these weaker strands
00:12:37.320
of these religious traditions uh that are being bought and paid for that's evidence of moral culpability
00:12:42.380
right there yeah so i already mentioned um the evangelical immigration table and some of the
00:12:49.100
once trusted organizations that uh these leftists are now wearing like a skin suit you could say because
00:12:55.620
uh people may not be aware of how they've been compromised are groups like
00:12:59.160
the national association of evangelicals which represents some 45 000 churches in dozens of
00:13:05.920
different denominations it was once so conservative that ronald reagan gave his 1983 uh evil empire
00:13:13.420
speech at its national convention but now they are completely sold out to a leftist agenda
00:13:18.500
um they are partnering with groups like the evangelical immigration table that is pushing open borders that
00:13:25.120
has been funded by george soros and other left-wing groups um you also see this with the council for
00:13:31.040
christian colleges and universities i'm told that it has a newly minted president who is hopefully set
00:13:37.140
on reform but what i can tell you is in recent years they have done everything they can to destroy
00:13:42.860
religious liberty on the question of uh protecting churches and ministries who want to adhere to
00:13:49.640
biblical morality on questions of sex gender and marriage uh there are and so you have other groups
00:13:56.320
like a christianity today which i mentioned which has been sold out now it's taking money
00:14:00.960
millions from a left-wing foundation uh its editor-in-chief russell moore is one who helped create this
00:14:07.960
curriculum with new york times writer david french who though he claims to be a conservative
00:14:12.480
just announced in the last couple of days he will be voting for kamala harris um so these are the
00:14:18.540
people that are taking money from left-wing foundations to promote their ideology into once
00:14:25.460
trusted evangelical institutions and ministries with the hopes that the people sitting in the pews
00:14:30.760
who only know the name won't trust this or won't won't realize what's going on and they'll be taken in
00:14:36.340
yeah megan bashham shepherds for sale everybody go read it uh thank you for being on uh with us

my uh long-standing friends uh he goes way back uh james golden otherwise known as bo snurdly
00:16:33.340
uh the producer of the rush limbaugh show uh but this this uh gentleman has such great breadth and
00:16:41.760
width and wisdom uh and i just love hearing from him but we we've been talking for years he's doing
00:16:48.560
great work uh down in florida and across the country on education reform uh and i shared with
00:16:53.980
them the other day that link from the i think it was the illinois policy institute on the chicago
00:16:59.300
reading scores 12 of the poor kids in chicago uh can read at great level grade level in the third
00:17:06.500
and fourth grades and so uh james uh great to have you in the war room one of the great producers in
00:17:13.820
case people don't know james produced uh the one of the greatest shows uh in the history of media
00:17:20.660
and so honored to have you on and uh why don't you share what you think about these education
00:17:25.980
issues that are plaguing our cities and our kids and what you're doing about it welcome james well
00:17:32.200
thank you dave you know what it's really amazing to me that we had just a week ago about a week ago we
00:17:39.720
heard the black journalist association of course with donald trump in chicago another city where education
00:17:46.400
has been failing for decades and not once did any of these hosts uh that were there bring up the
00:17:52.900
failure of american education yeah you shared the yeah and right in their own city but you look at
00:17:58.800
what baltimore uh just did earlier in the year it was announced that what almost over 90 percent
00:18:06.060
90 percent of the kids that are coming through baltimore schools are failing when it comes to
00:18:14.000
understanding math understanding reading these are basics what are the schools focused on in these blue
00:18:21.960
cities they're focused on whether you can use the right pronouns or not whether you have the right
00:18:29.120
to become or say whatever gender you are the basics the very basics that will allow these kids to grow up
00:18:36.740
and to be functional in their own lives and as american citizens the fundamental task of educating
00:18:46.460
children to prepare them for adulthood is being failed in almost every single blue city across america
00:18:57.420
in new york city there are chronically over 200 failing schools this goes back regardless
00:19:06.720
of which administration is in power it is systemic it goes back and so we as a society sit back we
00:19:15.900
wonder how come so many of these kids coming from the inner cities end up in jail what they the left is
00:19:23.060
fond of talking about this pipeline that's created from schools to the jail well they're created from
00:19:29.020
failing schools into jails they're created when entire generations of children grow up without the
00:19:38.140
fundamental ability to hold a job because they don't understand the basic skills that it takes to hold a job
00:19:47.440
how to read how to write how to speak english in a way that they can be understood this is to me the biggest
00:19:57.180
civil rights struggle in america and it is one which the democrat party is absent from the table
00:20:04.200
so what has to happen yeah i'm very involved in in alternative education charter schools yes
00:20:12.380
uh for profit charter schools yes where there is incentive for the schools to perform
00:20:20.360
and to teach based on the fact that they are responsible to the parents and the parents are
00:20:27.000
paying them money so that they can demand results from these schools instead of this idea of government
00:20:33.420
schools so what are we seeing in the presidential dave and i'm sorry to just continue but you asked me
00:20:38.640
what do you see go that's what i want to know what's the incentives what's the incentives right
00:20:43.460
the one of the incentives if you if you're going for the democrats in in this election cycle yeah
00:20:49.660
kamala house has already signed on with the teachers unions the teachers unions are running on the idea
00:20:55.720
that they don't want to give parents a choice in educating their own children this is an issue
00:21:04.220
for many people it is not as important as the economic issue in our country is not as important
00:21:10.780
as open borders to my way of thinking dave this has to be equal to the issues that are facing america and
00:21:19.880
that we're not going to solve this in one election cycle it's not going to be solved in two elections
00:21:25.000
like yeah but there has to be a sustained effort for us conservatives not to abandon education
00:21:33.220
in american cities because if we do we are making sure that we will continue down this path of destruction
00:21:43.740
that we've been on for the last 20 30 40 years this is an issue that conservatives have to take on
00:21:55.420
yep well said james and uh so just to get to the obvious uh at the end of that uh do you see any
00:22:03.520
movement in virginia youngkin uh ran for governor uh due to outrage up in loudon county over some of
00:22:10.860
the sexual uh uh predatory actions taken up on our kids in virginia are you seeing any of those
00:22:18.520
trends i mean the people can take charge it's very hard right people can vote out terrible school
00:22:24.140
boards yep go ahead go ahead fire away this kid that was that that whole case sparked from
00:22:29.560
had sexually abused two girls do you know that he has been released he's not even in being held
00:22:35.980
accountable in the penal system he's been released yep and this is exactly even in virginia where there
00:22:42.060
is such a this is where the anti where the anti-liberal backlash actually started because the father was
00:22:49.980
dragged out of a school board meeting and and really almost treated like a criminal for trying
00:22:56.000
to defend his daughter that was raped by a transgendered male or female like what whichever
00:23:03.880
one it is it it's insane so yeah but this is spreading so what we have to do david again
00:23:11.540
is very very clear the republican party has to be unafraid to stand tall for the idea that parents
00:23:18.820
no matter where they are in america have the absolute right to choose where their kids are
00:23:25.880
educated period and how we support these parents whether it be through the use of vouchers whether
00:23:33.540
it be through uh through any other policy that would allow parents to have that choice this is something
00:23:42.700
that conservative america has to get behind if we want our country to be fundamentally strong
00:23:49.600
yep james i just wanted to bring you on because you know i always treat this stuff from an economic
00:23:56.000
standpoint and human capital and the kids are one third of the economy they are the future economy
00:24:01.360
and the old liberals she used to be able to count on the old liberals to care about kids
00:24:06.000
and about foreign policy and about censorship right the old liberals are gone uh and now we got
00:24:13.260
these crazy far left marxists and so i just wanted to bring the issue up again there's nobody better you
00:24:19.600
spent your your second half right the second half of your uh great uh life working on behalf of the kids
00:24:27.100
now so how do people reach out to you and contact you and support you yep go ahead james well you know
00:24:32.040
what dave i'm on the air for six days a week on wabc in new york so i'm still doing radio as a career
00:24:38.580
show is going great but what people can do um i i'm involved with a few things uh new journey pack is
00:24:46.020
one i have a political action committee that advocates for this new journey pack dot org is one
00:24:52.700
um but i'm also you know people have to organize you know we used to laugh at the democrats i think i
00:25:00.240
remember the years we call obama organizer and chief people laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh
00:25:05.360
but if you look at how the democrats have put a stranglehold on american american education
00:25:10.420
it is through edu it is through their organizational and because because people do have to do this
00:25:18.880
they have to band together this is not something the government can fix this has to be fixed by
00:25:24.620
individuals banding together and not only demanding change but holding people accountable when they
00:25:30.380
don't change and i'll say this too the work that you do at liberty is also so important i've been there
00:25:37.480
i've seen it i see you see students from every background black white asian whatever every background
00:25:45.080
in america attending there and these kids that are coming through there are not only being educated
00:25:52.080
well they also have a moral foundation a moral component to it and do we ever need that and
00:25:58.060
you've done incredible work there and you're continuing to do it and that is part of the
00:26:02.440
solution dave yep well i look forward to continuing work with you james thanks for coming on the war room

back in the war room date bratt sitting in uh with the great uh stephen k bannon uh we have one of our
00:29:32.400
great sponsors uh of the war room with us uh in person uh and that's the way to roll we have aaron
00:29:38.800
czar with us with a firm called silent uh you've seen the ads for the faraday bags uh i think they team
00:29:45.360
up and are friends with eric prince who's got the phone unplugged uh this new world crowd strike we saw
00:29:52.200
the uh security issues that uh brought me to a standstill on an airplane uh brought down half the
00:29:58.220
eastern seaboard uh but more relevant it's just your personal security your phone is your anchor right
00:30:04.940
unfortunately it is the way uh we communicate and move through the world on a daily basis uh and so
00:30:11.140
aaron welcome to the war room and uh why don't you just lead us through uh the product and the need
00:30:16.640
for the product uh and we'll just uh have a short conversation because i i find this uh fascinating
00:30:22.160
and i want to get a faraday bag myself yeah we got to get you equipped not a problem um so yeah
00:30:29.100
faraday cages faraday bags there there have been around for a long time silent does it a little bit
00:30:35.200
differently we make a really cool comprehensive line of um signal blocking faraday sleeves that
00:30:41.520
like this one you could drop inside your phone and instantly block cellular wi-fi bluetooth gps
00:30:48.660
rfid nfc emp solar flare so you could really own your own destiny as sometimes i like to say
00:30:58.040
because um you know we're walking around in the world just being harvested
00:31:02.620
it's a direct threat to our first and fourth amendment um and i think people are like go over
00:31:10.780
that aaron go over that a little bit because some of the folks aren't techies like you this harvested
00:31:16.360
idea what does that mean well um i mean eric prince said it on an interview recently but um you know
00:31:25.240
there's people walking around and i'm not calling that you know everyone's sheep but there's a way to
00:31:30.180
live where you're a little bit more agile and you're a little bit more aware of reality as it
00:31:35.200
being plugged into big data it's nearly impossible to escape so that's you know google apple um microsoft
00:31:44.280
the big boys um and the the internet service providers you know they're they're they're big too so
00:31:51.120
it's essentially anything you do in life from a smartphone you are being like an entire profile is
00:31:58.840
built on you and the amount of data that any individual has is like astonishing and it's
00:32:05.800
really scary and some people say well i got nothing to hide uh why do i care about that and
00:32:10.640
those are the naysayers that understand that if they're a contributing member to society and they
00:32:16.240
have a place in this country then they have their own duty to protect that data and kind of curb it
00:32:24.320
and do anything they can a faraday bag is just a really simple tool to curb a very technical over
00:32:30.100
complicated um world that we live in so yeah yeah give us an example of that profile uh when they build
00:32:39.000
a profile on you what kind of information can they uh vacuum up that people might not be aware of
00:32:46.100
i mean for one example like data brokers if i wanted to put a geofence around your entire office
00:32:55.040
or neighborhood wherever you're at yeah i could collect all the i could buy all the data for every
00:33:01.000
single phone that went there and i could get a full profile of every single person all their
00:33:06.880
information and even like are they approachable you know what's their enneagram like you know full
00:33:14.480
psychological understanding so you know they're bad actors in the world and we're all kind of
00:33:20.100
targets some more than others so if you're not doing anything about it then it's time to think
00:33:25.680
about doing something about it and while everyone can't afford and have access to like a crazy
00:33:30.720
encrypted phone which is pretty cumbersome to be honest um having a faraday bag like the one i showed
00:33:38.000
before allows you to drop inside your devices whether it's a phone or a laptop and a tablet your keys to
00:33:45.960
your key um to your car there's big car theft they're relay attacks um if you have access to these then
00:33:54.120
you're you're a step in the right direction to have more ownership over your privacy your security
00:34:00.420
and as well as your health or it's a epidemic you know smartphones are amazing there could be
00:34:07.500
hilarious you can see the funniest thing you've ever seen on your phone but at the same time you're
00:34:13.360
sacrificing so much so there's a balance to be struck there and silence stands on three pillars of
00:34:19.260
privacy security and health and we make good looking products like i'm not i'm not gonna lie like we make
00:34:25.380
some really really cool stuff that goes toe to toe with any top premium brand except we have patented
00:34:32.500
technology on the inside that's sleekly integrated that you could drop in devices and just have
00:34:37.540
honestly more peace of mind and everyone that has more peace of mind and more control then you have
00:34:43.600
more room in your brain to like be happier and i think we all just want to be a bit happier to be honest
00:34:49.560
all right aaron czar thanks for being with us uh war room please support aaron and his product line
00:34:57.720
they support the war room and they're good aaron i'm an economist so i always like to think in terms
00:35:02.880
of efficiency and the low hanging fruit uh first give if if the average person listening to you right
00:35:09.700
now wants to do two things uh to mitigate and lower their risk what would you advise them what are the
00:35:15.580
two biggest things they could do just on a practical level uh utilizing your bags as well of course
00:35:20.960
step one is to go to slnt.com forward slash bannon you could use the code bannon at checkout you could
00:35:30.160

00:35:48.560
fits your phone you are so far ahead of the curve already and you're an early adopter of technology
00:35:55.280
that combat combats the real bad technology so that's step one and just be you know educate yourself
00:36:03.560
check out some stuff read a few articles i'm sure you know anyone listening to this is a little bit
00:36:08.420
more plugged in than the average person right i think that's amazing um so take take the initiative
00:36:14.300

very much for joining us today aaron glad to have you on all right war room we're going to go to a
00:36:56.000
peter mcelvenna in europe right now uh kind of a mix we're having a fun conversation uh over the break
00:37:01.840
uh who's leading who uh we kind of reached uh consensus that europe is leading the day
00:37:07.400
going in the wrong direction uh but we're not far behind and we're beating them in a few categories so
00:37:13.460
peter bring us up to speed what's happening in the uk uh and what should we be on the lookout for
00:37:18.560
uh in terms of all the issues you're dealing with censorship uh being beat down by uh the deep
00:37:25.720
states uh etc glad to have you on peter oh it's great to be here let me fill you in but let me
00:37:31.040
just first say this what i love about war room being on with different guests and it shows what
00:37:35.760
steve has built up and even just today i've already ordered shepherds for sale and looking into that and
00:37:41.120
i've got two farty bags so it's essential so i love what war room always bring there never is a dull
00:37:47.160
episode but let me tell you what's happening in the uk we've had these riots that have kicked off
00:37:52.160
from last monday um and it was on on monday with jason discussing it um and it's it's got much worse
00:37:59.620
in the government clamping down and the government of course never uh need an excuse to clamp down on
00:38:06.180
our freedoms to restrict us further um and they are using this to restrict us we are i think we had
00:38:13.200
500 individuals now arrested um for these demonstrations with about 50 of them charged now that's
00:38:21.540
in two days now our british legal system is currently running at five to six months to process anything
00:38:27.680
so if a rapist or a murderer uh the the individual who murdered three girls that sparked off a lot of
00:38:34.620
this unrest last week monday last week it's a five month until he actually goes for his trial but yet our
00:38:42.620
courts in two days can get people sentenced for naughty things on facebook's we have the rising
00:38:49.240
concern of the uk government same as what's happening in europe and you obviously will have
00:38:53.600
exactly the same in the us trying to clamp down on conversations a huge fear on telegram of signal
00:38:59.900
um real concern obviously on twitter and you see elon musk has really gone head to head with
00:39:05.740
keir stammer who's the the new british prime minister far left prime minister um and uh elon has gone
00:39:12.840
toe-to-to-toe with him highlighting what's happening and when we had a uh government minister
00:39:19.220
the head uh the public the head of public prosecutions in the uk one of the key legal
00:39:24.960
individuals in the uk and he said that if you repost something on twitter you could be breaking the law
00:39:31.840
and maybe arrested for that because you're spreading hit and what does elon do elon just starts
00:39:37.640
reposting tons of videos and it's like bring it on and i love that attitude but we are in a
00:39:42.940
a massive clash we had an individual um i just it's it's happening non-stop but we had an individual
00:39:50.280
and he was arrested and charged for 28 months for gesticulating and shot him at a police officer
00:39:58.720
now i am gesticulating using my hands as an expression and if i raise my voice it could be shouting
00:40:04.700
but two and a half years in jail for gesticulating and shouting that's where we currently are and of
00:40:11.940
course there's no legislation that says that our our government can do this but they are using
00:40:17.400
carefully worded terrorism legislation because they say this is terror and carefully worded legislation
00:40:24.460
on restricting the spread of misinformation is obviously the term we all know well um and they
00:40:31.580
are using this to clamp down so it's really concerning and it is attack on citizen journalism
00:40:36.560
and free speech online and of course siding with the mainstream media and our legacy media
00:40:43.100
yeah yeah peter that uh that story uh resonates uh with us over here in the war room uh without
00:40:51.720
getting too detailed uh you know in the united states we've had uh mike benzen on uh and we've had
00:40:59.300
legislation we've changed the actual definitions for democracy instead of we the people uh here uh in law
00:41:07.140
to the uh processes and institutions so that dhs and some of our executive branch uh entities uh can use
00:41:16.520
these changes in laws we changed tweets uh we made tweets into cyber events and cyber events are regulated
00:41:24.540
by dhs uh and so we've had people arrested and hundreds of millions without exaggerating hundreds
00:41:31.220
of millions uh of tweets censored underneath that legislation brought to us by our executive branch
00:41:38.560
how does it work uh in the uk uh is it is it you know we have the constitution here and so you know
00:41:46.000
that's our we all think in terms of that structure uh in the uk how do we think about that just in brief
00:41:52.760
and then you know if it's similar to other uh you know the netherlands others we know are under
00:41:57.860
similar attack just sketch that out for us briefly so we can understand that well we don't have the
00:42:03.760
free speech protections that you have afforded in your constitution we don't have that so we are all
00:42:09.140
at sea with zero protection for what we say in the uk and generally for most european countries
00:42:16.400
um so that's where we are moving and i mentioned the individual charge for two and a half years
00:42:23.200
for waving his arms around and shouting yet we have a labor politician calling for those on the right to
00:42:29.900
have their throats slit and killed no problem with that you can say that on a microphone and yet there's
00:42:35.980
no rush to arrest so we are having massive clamp down as we're having across europe and this is our
00:42:42.100
online safety bill which is a piece of legislation that was put in late last year we don't know how
00:42:47.580
that is going to actually be policed but that is policing the internet on a level that we haven't
00:42:52.100
known since the start of the internet and the definition that the levels of that can be used for
00:42:57.860
the bar is set so low so it is anything that's anyone may find offensive um and it's anything peter
00:43:05.340
yep we're gonna we're gonna jump to break uh peter mackalvana back with us after the break uh and we

00:44:38.560
back in the war room dave bratt sitting in with the great stephen k bannon our guest peter mckelvenna
00:44:47.780
representing all of europe single-handedly peter thanks for being with us he's been giving us
00:44:53.660
overview of some of the uh you know two-tiered justice department uh problems we got in the u.s
00:44:59.840
giving the receipts giving examples uh similarities in other european countries uh we were talking
00:45:08.260
offline a little bit you know i've been over there a couple times and the the english people are such a
00:45:12.860
decent people uh the cabbies will scold you if you misbehave and and i just believe there's got to be
00:45:18.460
a deep reservoir of decency over there the judeo-christian tradition isn't alive and vibrant
00:45:24.620
but i think it's deep within the english and british people uh and so you know are they being
00:45:31.340
passive uh and then who's running this show who's who's behind this in the u.s uh we have billionaire
00:45:37.720
forces globalist forces that just want control and power all right is that similar uh in the uk
00:45:44.060
or or is it different peter well obviously a lot of our political figures are are linked into the wf
00:45:50.840
obviously tony blair um is a key figure in that globalist agenda and all of our prime ministers
00:45:57.540
have bought into that so you have that on one side you'd mentioned that the the normal everyday
00:46:03.780
people um and they're angry but they're told shut up or you'll be called racist and that was a phrase
00:46:09.200
that basically was used in the brexit debate and the brexit referendum that if you vote for brexit
00:46:15.060
you're a xenophobe and a racist and you hit other people from other nations and that we all know that
00:46:22.180
term racist is enough to shut many people down because obviously people are aghast at being labeled
00:46:29.100
such a horrendous tag so that does shut down but actually what we are seeing we're seeing that the
00:46:36.140
government are using this as a way of locking many people up and they have been agitating to lock
00:46:42.220
many on the right and a lot of it was kicked off with tommy robinson had a big rally in central london
00:46:48.300
end of last month and there were between 50 and 100 000 people there all just wanting our country back
00:46:54.060
and that seems to have spurred the government into preparing so whether this is a false flag or not
00:47:00.420
i can't say but i can't say the government are using this to jail people and to demand access to
00:47:06.780
people's social media accounts to make sure people are rounded up through what they do outside and also
00:47:12.600
what they say online and anything which you now say online can be used as an excuse by the government
00:47:17.740
to come knock your door down arrest you and jail you for years at a time so the government are are
00:47:24.180
are playing this well to their agenda which is to shut down any criticism of mass immigration and
00:47:30.960
destruction of our country yeah i'm just fascinated uh with the moral piece there right and so brexit
00:47:38.260
you're called a racist uh that's obviously a strong moral charge and so i think it does illustrate
00:47:45.280
there's a strong moral reserve sitting there in the british people right uh there's a moral charge being
00:47:50.700
made people care about that they don't want to be considered immoral or unethical or unspiritual or
00:47:56.780
whatever it is so where's the breakdown what why does uh why does morality just work in one direction
00:48:02.600
uh what about you know don't bear false witness don't lie don't cheat don't steal like they're doing
00:48:08.020
on the government side uh where where's that british spine and what's missing here well it is a concerted
00:48:15.620
effort that has chipped away at that and i was with a church leader today of a large church
00:48:19.900
here in the uk um and he was sharing some concerns i had we were having a frank discussion
00:48:25.880
um and it was we were discussing the lack of leadership in the church where the church to speak
00:48:30.780
into this and raise the concerns of everyday people uh where are christian politicians speaking of this
00:48:37.820
where are the media oh the media are on the side of the government and we learned that through the
00:48:41.540
covet tyranny that the media have become a mouthpiece for the state so yesterday or maybe this morning
00:48:48.620
the front page of at least five newspapers was more or less the same photo and the same statement
00:48:55.180
which was we are defeating the far right that was the from five different newspapers some on the left
00:49:02.100
some on the right so they are speaking with one voice it is the government's voice and it is the voice
00:49:07.700
that has to shut people up and people as we saw during covid they want to make a living and if the police
00:49:14.140
tell you if you do this we will throw you in jail for three years that is enough to make people question
00:49:20.540
what they are doing and that's a normal reaction um and we need strong leadership that's what we're
00:49:26.380
lacking here uh we have very brave individuals like tommy robinson like calvin robinson who we have on
00:49:32.640
tonight on hearts of oak uh like lawrence fox like many individuals who are standing up and speaking
00:49:38.960
but there are many others who are afraid of being tarred by the brush of extremism and far right
00:49:45.540
and they're silent but what we really need is is more leaders to lead the people who are hungry
00:49:50.320
for good solid leaders with a vision for patriotism in our nation once again in the uk
00:49:56.020
yeah very well said peter uh this far right thing has got to end right i was a presbyterian economist
00:50:02.840
for 20 years at a small liberal arts school run for congress and then i get called every name in the book
00:50:08.300
uh there's not much more boring than a presbyterian economist right i mean that takes a day so uh my
00:50:14.560
idol obviously uh one of them was adam smith a moral philosopher the other moral philosopher of
00:50:20.160
note is carl marx and the world is carved up along the lines of those two moral philosophers so tell
00:50:26.500

uh the war room god bless everyone see you next time i want to warn you of a huge change that could
00:52:37.260
be coming to our money in our bank accounts first think back to 9-11 shortly after the government
00:52:43.100
pushed through the patriot act this gave the government power to spy on innocent americans
00:52:47.860
by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the internet now jim rickards
00:52:54.260
editor of the independent financial newsletter strategic intelligence and new york times best
00:52:59.380
selling author is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a
00:53:05.060
terrifying new level in fact some of the guests i've had on the war room believe that the government
00:53:10.160
will soon expand their powers to track our every move if we say the wrong things on social media
00:53:16.580
donate to the wrong causes buy firearms or even vote maga the government may be able to shut us out
00:53:23.200
of our bank accounts i can't say for sure if this will happen but it's an interesting and dire warning
00:53:30.420
fortunately jim rickards an american patriot and friend of mine has made it his mission to educate us on
00:53:35.800
what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable
