In this episode, Father Frank Pavone joins us to talk about why Catholics should get involved in politics and why they should vote for the Democratic Party. He also talks about the need for Catholics to get into the voting booth.
00:06:22.000The protection of people's private property, the protection against theft and stealing and and fraud and deception.
00:06:29.000All of these are fundamental aspects of the law of God.
00:06:33.000And so what we're responsible to do as sovereign is to make sure, like we see all throughout the Bible, that the nation is observing the laws of God.
00:07:33.000But I think I can probably go out on a limb and assume that Father Frank Pavone believes in about every word of the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed.
00:11:20.000You know, Vice President Harris has been promising what she calls an opportunity economy.
00:11:26.000But the only way the American people ever end up with opportunity is if there's economic growth.
00:11:31.000And we know President Trump, from his first term in office, advocated for economic growth and produced it by reducing taxes, which encourages investment in consumer spending, by cutting business-killing regulations, which again encourages investment, and by encouraging domestic oil production, which really gets the price of everything down.
00:12:19.000And we found that income inequality decreased, all while we had no inflation.
00:12:24.000So this is a very good, a very workable plan.
00:12:27.000The problem on the Harris side is she's got to come up with a plan that produces economic opportunity.
00:12:33.000But on the heels of this incredible inflation that was generated by this massive government spending under the two bills where she was the tie-breaking vote, the so-called American Recovery Act, which is a ridiculous name, and the almost comically named Inflation Reduction Act.
00:12:49.000And both of those were Harris's bills.
00:12:54.000And she's come up with her policy suggestions are, I'm going to tax unrealized capital gains, which even Roe Kahana, the liberal congressman from Silicon Valley, has come out and said, well, we don't want to do that.
00:13:25.000It's a political plan to trying to swage people who can't afford homes because of her policies that somehow they're going to give them a little money to fix that.
00:13:34.000And then she's got this price fixing, which even even the very liberal far left anti-Trump Washington Post came out and said, look, if people are accusing you of being a communist, maybe you don't want to suggest price fixing.
00:13:47.000And she came out with price fixing to address price gouging, which data from her own Department of Labor shows never occurred.
00:13:55.000So she does not have a plan to generate economic growth, which means there'll be no economic opportunity.
00:14:00.000President Trump does have such a plan and it was very successful in his first term.
00:16:20.000Back in the war room with the great Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:23.000Our honor to have one of the nation's great CEOs in house today.
00:16:28.000Andy Puzder just gave us some good guidance on economic growth.
00:16:34.000For folks who don't know, the whole world made approximately $1,000 per person for all of human history until about 1776 when the free market system emerged.
00:16:47.000There's always been markets throughout history, but the free market system came out of, largely speaking, the Judeo-Christian tradition along with a little help from the Enlightenment.
00:16:59.000And that has brought us up from $1,000 per capita income in the U.S. to about $60,000 or $70,000 per capita.
00:17:06.000So we're the envy of the world, but our engine is fading right now.
00:17:11.000Economic growth is not what it used to be.
00:17:13.000The CBO is projecting our productivity falls for the next 30 years.
00:18:06.000They invest other people's money, but they have voting control.
00:18:09.000They vote the shares for about where they have the control.
00:18:13.000They have the largest shareholders in about 97% of the companies, for example, in the S&P 500, which is the largest companies are the largest companies in the United States.
00:18:23.000So they vote those shares and they've been voting them to advance radical environmentalist policies.
00:18:28.000They've been using them to advance things like diversity, equity, and inclusion, which Kamala Harris is very much in favor of as she was a diversity or DEI hire, as Joe Biden has admitted.
00:18:39.000But rather than merit-based hiring, they want to have race and sex-based hiring.
00:18:45.000Rather than a political system where we determine what kind of actions we want to take with respect to the environment, they want to impose on us their views of what they think is best for us by voting the shares of the companies in which they've invested to take actions which implicate the entire economy.
00:19:04.000They affect the entire economy, they affect all of us, and they don't have to go through messy things like elections.
00:19:10.000They just decide on their own how they're going to vote these shares, and they're really accountable to nobody.
00:19:15.000So it's a threat to our republic, and it's a threat to our free market economy, and it's something that we seriously need to address.
00:19:42.000And what's at stake at the micro level in a way the average person who works for a firm can understand what's going on?
00:19:49.000Well, whenever you run a company, particularly a publicly traded company, you're very concerned about what your largest shareholder wants because your largest shareholder elects directors to your board of directors, and those directors can support you or they can fire you.
00:20:03.000So you're very interested in meeting the needs of your largest shareholders.
00:20:08.000We've got a company out there, America's largest energy company.
00:20:12.000Back in 2021, they had an election where a very small group of shareholders, a small hedge fund, wanted to put environmentalists on Exxon's board of directors.
00:20:22.000Well, everybody thought it was a joke.
00:20:24.000Why would you put environmentalists on an oil company's board of directors?
00:20:28.000That's certainly not going to help the company be profitable and generate returns for its investors.
00:20:33.000But BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard, they were the largest shareholders in Exxon.
00:20:38.000They all voted to put those environmentalists on the board.
00:20:41.000And then Exxon ended up with environmentalists on its board of directors.
00:20:47.000Not only did they have environmentalists on their board, but within a year they passed a resolution internally that they would adopt a net zero carbon emissions by 2050 policy.
00:20:59.000So what you have is they forced America's largest energy producer, its largest energy company, to adopt a policy that prohibits the use of or would exclude the use of the product that justifies that company's existence.
00:21:15.000And it didn't happen because there was legislation passed that required it.
00:21:20.000It didn't happen because consumers don't want to use oil products that that's across the country across the world.
00:21:26.000And it didn't happen because the people that actually own those shares wanted their company to do something that would hurt the value of that company.
00:21:33.000It happened because BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard had voted with this small hedge fund and now Exxon.
00:21:39.000And by the way, Chevron and Mobile now have these policies, too, where they're actually putting in place a policy that denigrates the very product that justifies their existence because they have had to pursue these radical environmentalist policies.
00:21:53.000So it's a very dangerous message to other CEOs when that happens, you know, if we can get Exxon and we can go after Exxon, you know, we can go after you.
00:22:02.000So you better listen to what we have to say.
00:23:44.000The Heritage Foundation has taken a leadership role in this.
00:23:46.000There are a number of organizations out there that are working hard to try and make sure that we can fight back against this.
00:23:52.000Really, it's a collectivist socialist movement that's been brought onshore.
00:23:57.000It really grows out of the World Economic Forum, which is something that I'm sure you've had a lot of conversations about, where Klaus Schwab and his group have these ski vacations in Davos, Switzerland.
00:24:09.000And everybody that wants to tell us how to solve the world's environmental problems flies their jets and takes their limos to these meetings and then buys a house on the coast that they claim is going to disappear.
00:24:21.000So you've really got a bunch of hypocrites trying to run the rest of us by using environmental policies to seize control of the economy.
00:24:29.000And this is happening not only in the United States, but across the globe.
00:24:33.000But in the United States, we are resisting.
00:24:35.000And one of the big issues economically across the globe now is the United States' resistance to this ESG investing.
00:24:41.000So everybody needs to pay attention to this.
00:27:52.000I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money in our bank accounts.
00:27:57.000First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:28:02.000This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email
00:28:07.000and tracking our movement across the Internet.
00:28:10.000Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence
00:28:15.000and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:28:23.000In 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.
00:28:31.000If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA,
00:28:38.000the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:28:42.000I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:28:47.000Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming
00:28:54.000and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.
00:29:00.000Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past.
00:29:49.000Yeah, thank you so much for having me.
00:29:51.000Well, first, I'll tell you a little bit about us.
00:29:53.000Tax Network USA is all about defending hardworking Americans, just like our audience, against the IRS.
00:29:58.000And we step in when the IRS comes knocking, offering everything from tax preparation to direct negotiations with the IRS to secure favor and manageable outcomes.
00:30:08.000But we work to protect both individuals and their businesses from excessive tax burdens.
00:30:14.000Always aiming to reduce what you owe, restore some sanity to the process.
00:30:19.000But what sets us apart for our audience, what makes us different, is we're not just another tax service.
00:30:25.000We're champions of your financial independence.
00:30:28.000And like you said, in a time when government overreach is at an all-time high, under this administration in particular, we make it our duty to shield you from unnecessary intrusion into your hard-earned money that you earned yourself.
00:30:42.000And our team of experts doesn't just handle taxes, we defend your rights in the process.
00:30:46.000We don't want you to just be another number to the IRS.
00:30:49.000And with the experience that we have, we offer the kind of protection that puts government bureaucracy on notice.
00:31:11.000What's the process look like as folks contact you and your firm?
00:31:15.000Yeah, there's so many tax relief options available. And again, I can give you the context and contact information afterwards.
00:31:23.000But so many people are under siege by the IRS now more than ever. There's a couple of strategies that we can deploy, such as installment agreements, offers and compromise, hardship status requests.
00:31:35.000But our goal at Tax Network USA is just to shield you and your business and your personal finances from heavy handed IRS tactics.
00:31:43.000Guiding you through the process, making sure it's a seamless process, because we know that this can be super complicated.
00:31:48.000The tax code is designed to be complicated to catch you and provide you the support that you need.
00:31:54.000And if you're interested, if the audience is interested, it's super easy to get started.
00:31:59.000You can just go to TNUSA.com slash Bannon and fill out a quick form.
00:32:04.000Or if you'd rather speak to somebody on our team directly, you can call us at 1-800-958-1000.
00:32:16.000Whether you're dealing with IRS issues or just want to ensure that your taxes are being handled right and dotting all your I's, crossing all your T's, we're here to help every single step of the way.
00:33:44.000The left is upset that some Christians are finally waking up.
00:33:48.000There's an estimated 80 million Christians in America and only a quarter vote.
00:33:54.000And if you can just get some more of those to vote, it could impact a lot of the elections because many of them are determined by relatively small margins.
00:34:12.000It's called socialism, the real history from Plato to the present.
00:34:15.000But I go through the Cold War after World War Two.
00:34:18.000You had countries in Europe that were forming republics, electing leaders and becoming free.
00:34:24.000And the Soviet Union did not like that.
00:34:26.000And so they would send in KGB agents to do something called critical theory.
00:34:31.000It's simply where you observe all the groups in a country, ethnically, Bosnians, Croats, Serbs, religiously, Sunni, Shia, Orthodox, economically, racially.
00:34:41.000And you would call some victims and others oppressors, haves and have nots.
00:34:45.000You pit them against each other till they fight.
00:34:48.000And then when there's emotions, you co-opt the media to blame the current leader of all the problems for all the problems.
00:34:55.000And then when they drop in popularity, you do a coup or a rigged election.
00:34:59.000There's 50 years of these tactics being perfected.
00:35:02.000And I talked to just this past weekend with a former army psyops, military intelligence person.
00:35:10.000And he said when they would go into a country, the first thing they would do is to eliminate opposition, particularly religiously.
00:35:19.000And so he talked about going into the Middle East and these different tactics.
00:35:24.000And then he saw how under Obama in 2012, he authorized using these psychological behavior techniques upon the American population.
00:35:39.000That's right. Obama signed using these behavioral sciences on the American population.
00:35:45.000And then in 2016, Obama signed the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act, which gave the government the authority to censor media and the social platforms and so forth.
00:35:58.000And but so they want to blame their opposition.
00:36:04.000It's an interesting military review magazine, the official publication of the U.S. Army, December 1960, had an interesting page in there describing Soviet propaganda.
00:36:18.700He says, if you do something wrong, accuse your enemy of doing it before he accuses you.
00:36:25.700The one who makes the accusation first has the advantage.
00:36:29.700And it explains it's the same as little kids saying, I didn't start to start the fight.
00:36:54.900Potiphar's wife accused Joseph of lusting after her when she was lusting after him.
00:36:59.700And so they want to call Christians intolerant when they're actually the ones who are intolerant.
00:37:05.580They want to call their oppositions hateful when they're actually hateful.
00:37:08.900They want to accuse their opponents of stealing the election when evidence shows that they're the ones that are working on that.
00:37:15.540And so if we look at when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, she approved uranium one, a fifth of the U.S.
00:37:23.900Uranium to Russia in exchange for suspiciously lots of an estimated one hundred forty five million dollar contributions from Russian connected sources appeared in her Clinton Foundation.
00:38:02.960David Axelrod was a campaign advisor to a previous president.
00:38:09.020And in 2010, April 19th on NPR, he said in Chicago, there was an old tradition of throwing a brick through your own campaign office window and then calling a press conference to say you've been attacked.
00:38:20.420So they want to attack us, but they want to be able to push their agenda.
00:38:25.100And it's obvious when you study these socialist tactics that they're just, since Obama approved it, they're using these tactics against their opposition in America.
00:38:52.040So I went through the 1600s and now you literally had churches founding cities.
00:38:58.240So the first Baptist church in America founded a city, Providence, Rhode Island.
00:39:03.420And the first congregationalist church in America founded a city, Hartford, Connecticut.
00:39:08.000So everybody's involved in church and everybody's involved in city government, right?
00:39:12.620Because it's the church founding the city.
00:39:14.500So they actually had one building in each town called the Meeting House.
00:39:17.780That's where the pastor would teach the Bible and that's where they would do their city business.
00:39:22.520The word synagogue means meeting house.
00:39:24.840That's where the rabbi would teach the law and that's where they would do their city business.
00:39:28.600And so this call is called a covenant form of government that eventually grew into our constitution.
00:39:36.120And so this is pre the scientific revolution, pre age of enlightenment.
00:39:41.260These are pastors and churches founding cities right here in America.
00:39:44.080But in the 1700s, you had a revival movement and they said it's being a Christian is more than doctrine.
00:39:51.500You have to have an experience with Jesus.
00:39:53.140But when you have this experiment experience, you're going to withdraw from worldly things like bars and brothels and government.
00:39:59.440And it started this concept started in Germany and it turned into the two kingdom concept of the kingdom of the government, the kingdom of the church.
00:40:08.340And if you're really spiritual, you're going to withdraw from government.
00:40:11.000Well, that brings up an interesting situation because if all the spiritual people withdraw, who's left to be involved, but the less spiritual, they're going to yield to their ambitions.
00:40:19.420Four centuries, four centuries of that teaching in Germany allowed Hitler to seize power.
00:40:23.840They put Jews on train cars and the church heard them screaming.
00:40:26.920And their response was, well, that's the government killing the Jews and we're holy.
00:40:31.140So let's just sing praise songs louder.
00:40:32.840It's like, can anybody see there's something wrong with that?
00:40:34.440And so in my book, Silence Equals Consent, I've been talking about if the church doesn't address these things, it's actually giving its consent to all the evil.
00:40:45.040And if you give consent, you're an accessory to the crime and you'll share in the judgment.
00:40:50.120And, you know, there's one quote from Charlie Hurt.
00:40:53.340He was on Fox Hannity, May 23rd, 2019.
00:40:56.220And he said this whole thing is like this game of projection.
00:40:59.540Whenever they accuse President Trump of doing something, we then find out not only did President Trump not do it, but they did it, right?
00:41:07.360So they want to say, you're pushing your religion.
00:41:09.180Well, you look at the definition of the word religion, and one of them is a belief system.
00:41:13.320And so they're upset at people pushing a belief system that champions individual liberty, and they're pushing their belief system.
00:41:21.520So in a sense, they're the ones that are pushing their religion.
00:46:00.780My honor to bring in Mo Maureen Bannon.
00:46:05.460First of all, Mo, everybody wants to know how's Steve doing.
00:46:08.800Give us the latest update there because all our prayers and concerns are always with him, of course.
00:46:13.380He's doing great and I'm almost positive he's ready to get out just like we all are ready for him to be out, you know, less than less than a month until he's out.
00:46:25.860So I know we're all looking forward to him being back behind the mic.
00:46:29.440You've done a great job as guest host.
00:46:31.820I know he's ready to be back behind the mic.
00:47:04.360We need to turn out and focus on the ground game, especially in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin, battleground states.
00:47:13.800You can go to the Google App Store and the Apple App Store and get early vote action.
00:53:53.780I'm one of the co-creators of Sacred Human.
00:53:55.920And I wanted to share just a little bit more about our brand for those who may not know of us yet.
00:53:59.660But about six months ago, we decided to launch Sacred Human with really the simple mission being to provide American-made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense.
00:54:11.480So unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health.
00:54:21.560So that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements.
00:54:27.280And of course, the beef liver being our flagship products.
00:54:30.420For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.
00:54:39.280And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general.
00:54:52.380So we have some other amazing products.
00:54:54.540But if you'd like to check us out, you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com.
