Transcript

00:00:00.000 welcome back it's wednesday 31 december in the year of our lord 2025
00:00:12.600 we're continuing on with this discussion ben harnwell uh the florida journalism we'll bring
00:00:18.240 brad in also joe allen's going to uh join us uh and talking about um the year behind us
00:00:25.940 one thing to take we'll get into more of this tomorrow although i think tomorrow we're going
00:00:30.560 to have hopefully a more general conversation everybody getting motivated and jacked up for
00:00:36.020 just being the first of the year maybe not so content specific as we're doing today um but the
00:00:42.640 lessons learned from this year we're we're ending with an enormous fight that's actually going to
00:00:47.460 propel us through the next couple of years so so ben uh continue on with your observations sir
00:00:53.080 okay because your question at the beginning was why effectively have let's use the word for it is
00:01:01.920 betrayal why have we been betrayed in occupied europe and uh to the in the united states as well
00:01:09.200 by our political class what what is the supernatural the religious the spiritual reason for that well
00:01:16.360 look perhaps we'll handle the the the issue a little more tomorrow but let me say this right that the
00:01:22.500 the the principle as i see difference between christianity and islam seeing as you know the
00:01:29.220 the the new pope is going to put his hand on the quran to make his oath let's let's dig into this and
00:01:34.360 say what's the difference the difference is that christianity is predicated not hold on hold on
00:01:39.140 not the new but not the new pope hang on hang on hang on not the new pope the new mayor of new york
00:01:43.540 not the new pope did i say pope i'm sorry you did most certainly i know that's going to be all over
00:01:51.960 this so that you know we accuse pre-vos we accuse pre-vos of a lot we're not that we're not there yet
00:01:59.160 it's only a question of time steve um so look so um on the background of this the difference is that
00:02:07.800 christianity is is a religion predicated on interior conversion whereas islam is predicated
00:02:16.800 on exterior conformance conforming oneself to the external requirements on behavior
00:02:27.720 and that's interesting right because i would suggest for that reason that christianity is far
00:02:33.800 more difficult religion to follow because it requires bending your will to that of of of god
00:02:41.340 so when you say why is it that we have been betrayed let's look at the times article which
00:02:47.760 you quoted laura loomers having a gushing approach to mandani as insistence to put his hand on the quran
00:02:56.520 they would never the new york times would never write in this way if dave bratt had said when he'd be
00:03:03.260 when he was sworn in as a congressman his his motivation for putting his hand on the bible
00:03:08.300 right the these other people the secular left are the people that drove out i think it was in the 1980s
00:03:15.540 via the supreme court they drove out christian prayer in schools because they said it was against the
00:03:22.100 constitution right let's not forget that the left hates jesus christ and his and his and his religion
00:03:31.120 and his faith and his revelation they hate the sanctity of christianity and they will embrace
00:03:37.720 anything that is antithetical towards that so why have we been betrayed by our elites
00:03:45.440 steve it comes down to the queen of all the sins it's pride that remember what i said about the difference
00:03:53.120 between christianity and islam proud people because they are proud do not like the idea of having to
00:04:01.440 bend themselves to god in an interior disposition way which is not necessary if you are muslim all you've
00:04:09.520 got to do is do the exterior observance effectively um and that i think is why we've been betrayed it's a
00:04:16.920 it's a it's a spiritual issue and it comes from the fact driven by the devil if i if i'm allowed to say
00:04:23.420 that on the war room encouraging the proud minds that do not want to bend themselves down and incline
00:04:31.120 themselves down to the prince of peace um and that is the consequence that's why we've been betrayed
00:04:36.400 and everything else that we see on the political sphere is simply a rationalization of that refusal
00:04:44.720 to submit to god um via jesus christ but they will submit and they certainly will submit they will end
00:04:53.120 up submitting to a very different religion um of that of of islam which of course is some submission
00:05:00.660 in and of itself that's what islam means um day is is before i go to brett is uh europe too far gone
00:05:11.340 i keep saying france has fallen you have the collapse of the fifth republic uh you've got
00:05:16.320 the united kingdom you see the disaster that is you've got uh the low countries brussels big uh riot
00:05:22.720 overnight for some african soccer cup uh the moroccans all living in uh brussels just one of the groups
00:05:29.560 they've got up there uh taking over the center of the city i think uh is it 88 percent of uh i think
00:05:36.260 it's in i think it's in brussels 88 percent of the kids in school are foreigners or are not the people
00:05:42.960 from belgium um is is europe you see germany the disaster germany's turned into outside of hungary
00:05:49.860 and poland as some of the eastern european countries even with alternative for deutschland
00:05:55.560 and vox in spain and in the reform movement in uh in the the party in the united kingdom with tommy
00:06:02.480 robinson and the uh in in his group which is vying from political power is is europe too far gone
00:06:09.660 have the elites just thrown in the towel and they're asking for us to put you know now combat troops into
00:06:15.380 ukraine to protect them from the the russians i might say the russians who are orthodox christian
00:06:20.600 hello uh and who don't tolerate you've seen in chesnia they don't tolerate they they would never
00:06:27.020 tolerate what's going on in the cities of paris and berlin and uh in london and brussels sir
00:06:33.440 steve i posted on this on get it that's my daily post today is precisely this issue with regards to
00:06:40.420 france um yes is the answer europe is too far gone um but i have to push back on something in your
00:06:46.780 question it's not that the elites have thrown in the towel they designed this they propagated
00:06:52.060 they pushed it they did it first via subversion and it's now um in your face uh because of it it's
00:06:59.460 inevitable um and they use all the pejoratives against people that don't want to participate in
00:07:06.780 this that don't want to see this you know they say you're racist you're fascist you're anti-semitic
00:07:11.860 you're white nationalist we know we all know what the pejoratives are um the only difference is now
00:07:17.580 and this is the one of the great blessings that the trump phenomenon has bestowed on the rest of
00:07:24.220 the world is that nobody cares anymore if if you are out to fight for your civilization and your culture
00:07:30.500 that were a great difference to 10 years ago they can throw these pejoratives at you but no one will
00:07:36.000 care you know say what you want i'm going to go ahead and protect my country because i love my country
00:07:41.020 that is the essence of patriotism now that's developing in europe um look before i hand back
00:07:48.080 to you let me answer your question on this about being too far gone yes it is too far gone but i will
00:07:53.100 caution people right in these in the israel context to be um to hesitate before dismissing too quickly the
00:08:02.720 two-state solution because that's what we're going to want in mainland europe in occupied europe we will
00:08:08.120 eventually be forced into seeking our own two-state solution whereas where because muslims will take
00:08:14.680 the majority as we said on the uh christmas eve show steve it's not true to say that europe is
00:08:22.340 post-christian anymore it's more accurate to say it's pre-islamic so too far gone we will be seeking
00:08:29.660 our own two-state solutions in the various eu member states where christians the best that we can hope for
00:08:36.500 will be small territorial enclaves that might last for a few decades a few centuries before even those
00:08:46.080 will be denied to us as as the numbers shrink um that's the future here in occupied europe um and
00:08:52.980 you know if we can because of our folly and our complacency um perform one last service to the
00:09:02.040 civilized world before we finally bubble under it would be this we can show america the path
00:09:09.340 of where militant secularism leads what's really driving it and say just before we disappear from
00:09:18.220 existence to america do not follow this path do everything that you can to resist following this
00:09:26.080 path america i said this on the show before steve america can still just about rescue itself from the
00:09:34.800 the disaster that the uni party has created for it we can't in in europe it's too far gone it's been too
00:09:40.920 far gone for many decades
00:09:42.440 what uh last thing before i go back to brad uh you you post christian and pre-islamic you're saying
00:09:53.120 post-christian let's not use that term anymore europe has been post-christian and it wasn't
00:09:58.640 worth saving in the first place a christian society is worth saving what do you mean technically what do
00:10:03.780 you mean by pre-islamic um it's basically like constantinople you know folks will remember that that
00:10:12.800 christianity was basically divided into two of the roman half um and then the the the eastern half the
00:10:21.000 byzantine half rule from constantinople and that that lasted for a thousand years after the collapse
00:10:27.460 of the roman empire and then even that too subsumed uh surrendered not surrendered it did fight but
00:10:36.340 eventually it was um it was not possible to save it from i think it was the ottoman empire uh obviously
00:10:43.640 uh that eventually um destroyed that last remnant and we are in the rest of continental europe in
00:10:53.060 exactly the same situation as constantinople uh was um a city now known as istanbul and that's the
00:11:01.100 same fate and we have brought it on ourselves uh ben hang on i'm gonna go back to brett we got joe allen's
00:11:09.860 going to join us also i want to thank our sponsor today one part of the day was supposed to be
00:11:14.120 we may not get to was about capital markets for the year um part of this show is to teach you is to
00:11:21.640 make sure that you understand have access to and teach the underpinnings of geopolitics to make sure
00:11:28.680 that you understand the national security aspects of the united states of america so that if we talk
00:11:33.300 about ukraine or the chinese communist party or straits of taiwan venezuela that you can put it into an
00:11:39.060 intellectual framework the same with um finance and the global economy so that you understand when
00:11:45.580 you've got the big beautiful bill and people running on a fox talking nonsense you understand the basis
00:11:50.160 of it is that it is a supply-side tax cut to um um give some advantages to capital that are invested
00:11:58.080 particularly immediately into plant and equipment through certain tax breaks or tax advantages that the
00:12:04.200 one of the purposes of the tariffs is to say hey this is the most exclusive market in the world and
00:12:10.300 you're gonna have to pay for access to that now what we want you to do is to bring plant and equipment
00:12:14.340 back over here and create high value added jobs but if you don't do that there'll be a tolling fee and
00:12:18.500 that'll be a tariff i think it's becoming pretty clear today that navarra and president trump's policies
00:12:23.580 were correct you don't see any kind of runaway inflation from the uh from the terraces they all warned
00:12:28.800 it was the end of the world and it's become anything but part of that also is to teach you the underlying
00:12:34.060 the underpinnings of the global financial system and how that's predicated post-world war ii something
00:12:39.320 called breton woods uh making the dollar the prime reserve currency really taking over from the british
00:12:44.680 pound and the british empire and how the assault on that and look it's a national conversation we
00:12:49.800 should have do we want to be the prime reserve currency but since we are you just can't kind of pull
00:12:54.480 the rug on it and that's what's been so important to understand is the dollars the prime reserve
00:12:58.320 currency and the um correlation between the price of uh of gold and other precious metals birchgold.com
00:13:07.260 promo code bannon the end of the dollar empire over the last four years i think started when gold was
00:13:13.380 a thousand bucks or eleven hundred bucks gold today is what 43 or 4400 it ain't the price of gold it's

00:13:59.600 important as we've said now for i don't know the last six months or so you've seen kind of the roar

00:17:40.160 we want
00:17:43.720 we want
00:17:44.720 Robert Shaw
00:17:50.460 amazing amazing music um nothing like the male voice in uh in concert like that um ben hardwood for i
00:18:01.660 want to get brad in here but i do the piece up on getter and if we can mo and grace if we can push
00:18:08.020 that out uh and i know you have a huge um fan base over there it's about a guardian piece about
00:18:14.020 uh france and macron in the era of trumpism which has got them all upset um all the time i gave an
00:18:24.160 interview to kind of one of the right wing newspapers last week and people's heads were blowing up as i
00:18:28.820 talked about you know the drive of the trump movement uh and uh hopefully how it's not hopefully
00:18:34.460 but how it's inspiring other right-wing movements throughout the world um what what did this article
00:18:39.920 say why do you feel that it had to go up today on new year's ease new year's eve the last day of 2025 sir
00:18:46.380 um because because it's programmatic to use that word again what is happening in france uh this
00:18:54.500 particular story it's programmatic of what is taking place it defines both 2025 uh if not also
00:19:04.060 the previous decades before today and it's going to define 2026 2026 if not the the forthcoming
00:19:12.040 decades after tomorrow and the headline speaks for itself france fears era of trumpism as public
00:19:19.100 broadcaster comes under fire from the from the right we'll get the link out as i say it was it's the
00:19:24.920 subject of my daily post today on getter um my analysis however wasn't so much for the fact that
00:19:31.640 here's the guardian recognizing that the uh or quoting a a french leftist journalist who feared uh that
00:19:40.540 this that there was now this era of trumpism in france um because you know if i if i don't want you to
00:19:47.040 say oh look this shows you know that the populist nationalist economic nationalist movement growing
00:19:52.900 in france and isn't this great and yes it is great um but my actual analysis on this is it's too
00:19:59.840 little too late you can't allow what has happened to france to take place over many decades um and then
00:20:07.100 think a french trump even if one were to emerge and i'm not sure that that's the case in france but
00:20:16.240 leave uh will be able to turn back the tide um because it's just too far gone uh that the country
00:20:22.660 culturally whatever metric you you want to lose too far gone this is the importance of new york this is
00:20:29.960 the importance of the mayor uh taking his oath oath of office on the quran um it you know islam is still
00:20:36.540 a minority phenomenon in the united states right now even though that the mass invasion that's
00:20:43.940 taking place uh has chipped away that it's still clearly a minority and i can repeat what i said
00:20:50.840 before the break what we can do in europe the service that we can perform in occupied europe is
00:20:57.620 to say to america not to follow the path that we're going on that is why steve you know we do criticize
00:21:05.460 occasionally president trump right but the reason why he is a providential figure for the salvation
00:21:12.440 of america and the american republic is because he's the only person in elected office who would have
00:21:19.220 the courage to talk about denaturalization and deportation and that is how america you are going
00:21:27.580 to save yourselves there's no other route it's denaturalization and deportation
00:21:33.400 that's why the open with the very open this morning it went back and uh to the speech i think
00:21:40.700 the national conservative they tell me that was in september early september right after labor day
00:21:46.040 um where i hawking back that speech i made in pinehurst north carolina a couple of years ago i think it was
00:21:52.340 in november 23 where i said this day is coming when you have the convergence of these social welfare
00:21:58.140 programs with the uh with the fact that you're going to have to denaturalize and deport these people and
00:22:02.780 you're going to have a firestorm in this country that's what's before us and if we don't win this
00:22:07.880 fight country's over the country's over like europe's over today uh and people saying we can't do a rear
00:22:15.520 guard action i might want to mention too and i haven't had enough time to develop this and maybe we do it
00:22:21.040 when we get back uh on friday and and saturday or early next week uh brigitte bardo bridgette bardo
00:22:29.200 people you know one of the most beautiful women in the world and from the 1950s and 60s and of course
00:22:34.980 they say an animal rights activist people are glossing over her fight she was taken to court how many
00:22:42.600 times ben i think it was five times she was dragged into court in the 1990s and she's one of the first
00:22:49.300 she's the first celebrity i think on a global basis but this woman who's incredibly smart
00:22:54.320 she threw down hard and she threw down hard on two things number one islam and number two the lgbtq
00:23:01.720 the vacation of the culture uh and she was kind of like anita bryant was back in the 60s and 70s
00:23:09.980 and she's what i refer to as a tough broad right she wasn't backing down at all i think they took her
00:23:15.660 to court was it five times and they tried to bankrupt i think they actually they did kind of bankrupt her
00:23:20.940 and she would not back off she says you're not going to take away my rights to say this you're
00:23:25.320 not going to take and she's like cassandra you go back and look what bridget bardo said in the 1990s
00:23:30.560 about islam and you look at paris france today and she was cassandra she told you exactly what was going
00:23:37.780 to happen and they called her uh you know some some young musician put up a iconic photo of her
00:23:44.300 on her social media the last couple days and that young uh singer songwriter was eviscerated by
00:23:50.640 her by the her base her fan base today saying how could you say this and you and you're idolizing a
00:23:57.860 racist and a xenophobe uh and the one of the worst people in the world but bridget bardo uh and for
00:24:04.620 five times i remember in the 90s they they um they absolutely tried to kill her sir yeah and they
00:24:11.100 find they find her repeatedly look your your analogy to cassandra is perfect let's remember from greek
00:24:16.440 mythology that cassandra was cursed by the gods to prophesy the truth but not to be believed um and
00:24:23.720 that is definitely the case with bridget bardo i know i think she retired from acting at the age of 39
00:24:29.740 right devoting the rest of her life to animal welfare and that was one of the motivations not the only one
00:24:36.780 but one of the motivations um in her are her uh almost singular position talking against the
00:24:45.660 islamification of france why and this is an issue which we will we will we will certainly return to
00:24:51.740 on on the war room and this is the issue to do with the the ritualistic slaughter of animals um
00:24:59.720 which is required obviously in islam um and she was absolutely against the the the the the garrotting
00:25:09.380 of of animals whilst they're still alive and whilst you know you're not allowed when you're preparing
00:25:14.840 halal food you're not allowed to stun the animals beforehand either um and that was obviously one of
00:25:21.120 behind her part of that motivation that is an issue an issue that we need to come back to
00:25:26.620 the ritual slaughter of animals um and that's that's a big issue i think around which maga should
00:25:34.300 have something intelligent to say uh because i think it would unite a lot of people who concern
00:25:40.400 concerned about the welfare of animals such as myself uh with a concern you know if it wasn't if it
00:25:46.740 wasn't being done in the name of islam if you're doing that in the name of christianity you would see
00:25:51.500 the state move to prohibit it um islam obviously gets a free pass that is something i'd like to
00:25:58.140 return to and i think the war room uh cannot could be a platform for that and and that i think that
00:26:03.840 will be a legacy of of what bridget bardo um was doing as well for 50 or so years of her french
00:26:11.500 acting life dave dave we got a couple of minutes here before we go to break uh you've got some uh
00:26:18.380 the calvinist presbyterian and you see some upside here what do you got yeah well it's upside for all
00:26:25.420 the wrong reasons i i agree with harnwell but i think there is hope in europe you know calvin and
00:26:30.360 hobbes thomas hobbes uh the social contract the leviathan the only reason people uh unite for a
00:26:37.460 social contract the original position was for for survival and bringing up you know bridget bardo
00:26:43.840 etc and the elites in europe uh the the uh islamic uh witness to uh complete uh what what's the word
00:26:53.300 i'm searching for submission uh the elites have not been forced to submit yet once they are forced to
00:26:59.040 submit you're going to see a change there uh and it i just want to say two more quick things uh islam
00:27:05.600 who speaks for islam in minnesota right now what is the islamic logic who speaks uh for the uh somalis
00:27:13.000 uh they don't have a speaker who speaks for their theology who speaks for their systems of thought
00:27:18.280 uh we all want to know that and then secondly it's interesting to note like in minnesota is a perfect
00:27:23.260 example uh islam is not a construction system it's not building things it's tearing down and
00:27:29.800 deconstructing and taking over and that's why in london and paris etc it's not sustainable long run there
00:27:37.300 is no way that is sustainable and i think that's there will be a reaction as plato taught you know
00:27:43.540 in 400 bc what follows weakness and democracy uh the strong man uh don't want that don't want that to
00:27:50.660 happen uh but that's what's naturally going to follow when the social contract breaks down
00:27:55.620 uh and the elites are far forced into submission uh things will change uh and all of a sudden the
00:28:01.920 wealthy folks are going to get a hint yeah hang on for a second magnificent uh great conversation
00:28:10.000 we're going to pivot a little bit we're going to get back to artificial intelligence shocking
00:28:14.880 opinion piece today in fox and discussion i think it's one in five youth alan will fix me over this one
00:28:23.780 in five youth have already had a sexual relationship with chat gbt short break back in a moment
00:28:29.360 my daughter is becca um and becca first met some older boys she and her friends met all the boys
00:28:39.260 um online um and the boys invited them to get together they got together my daughter was drugged
00:28:44.920 and raped and then she was the victim of revenge porn and these traumas led her to start self-medicating
00:28:53.580 um and she could go online anytime 24 hours a day no matter where she was and she could find drugs
00:29:00.860 and eventually she picked up something with fentanyl and she died she was 18 years old
00:29:07.280 very sorry
00:29:09.240 mason bogard was our youngest of three um mason was our healthy well-balanced well-rounded kid he loved the
00:29:20.480 outdoors and he would watch youtube videos to learn how to make better fishing lures and master his
00:29:26.180 woodworking skills and eventually the youtube algorithm fed him unsolicited the choking challenge
00:29:33.540 or the blackout challenge and mason recorded himself trying it and it was obvious in the video that he was
00:29:41.640 doing it for the laughs and the likes to get people to laugh and that thinking it was safe and fun
00:29:47.080 and we lost him to that he was 15
00:29:52.240 okay um right here i want to bring in joe allen joe that was a very moving incredible you went down of
00:30:01.500 all those parents i think there was 13 of them that had come to testify and then we had that uh we had
00:30:06.700 that event uh of young people that lost their lives on the internet uh really with artificial
00:30:12.940 intelligence um explain to us where are we as we let's look back over the year of where we've come
00:30:20.080 and then i want to use as a springboard of where we're going to go uh fox today had a had a someone
00:30:26.520 on and fox has been spending some time with this today but there's a opinion piece i think we're
00:30:30.980 going to push it out that says and i may have the numbers kind of wrong but directionally right i think
00:30:35.940 one out of five teenagers have already had a sexual relationship with with chat gbt or something
00:30:42.140 and 80 percent of the respondents this opinion poll said that they would be open to a romantic
00:30:48.160 relationship with artificial intelligence i mean brother where in the hell are we on this thing sir
00:30:54.320 you know steve i think 2025 will be remembered as the year that the last year anyone could deny that
00:31:02.860 artificial intelligence is among the most important forces in civilization people have long said that
00:31:10.240 it's nothing but hype that's those days are all done anyone who's saying it's just a bubble or even
00:31:16.140 just a tool i think uh those people will be seen as tools themselves you know i've oftentimes said steve that
00:31:26.140 i tried to warn the world that i have a cassandra complex but nobody would believe me
00:31:30.880 and i think that uh 2026 will prove that right now the stats that you're talking about this has been
00:31:38.780 going on for some time but uh it's now crystallizing you now have fox news uh you have you know pbs you
00:31:47.440 have cnn uh this is now a normal part of conversation it's no longer a side show it's no longer a freak
00:31:54.040 show uh yeah one in five uh kids in the survey said that they had had romantic conversations with ai
00:32:01.780 most of them uh probably casual many of them not but this is just the beginning uh the same goes for
00:32:09.920 adults roughly one in five adults have had romantic conversations with ai and i've actually spoken to
00:32:15.620 a few of these adults some of them take it seriously most of them are are kind of joking around but
00:32:21.260 again this is just the beginning and i think for 2026 what i'm going to be looking at the most uh is
00:32:29.460 going to be the people who do not want that future right now it's a majority or it's a minority of people
00:32:38.220 who are enamored by this technology who believe it's essential to their lives or their businesses or
00:32:43.760 their education uh i want to see it continue to be a minority because if you hit a tipping point
00:32:50.060 in which even a third of all americans are completely cyborg out uh that's not going to
00:32:58.840 be the same civilization that we had uh even in the year 2000 the last great year
00:33:05.100 how how how 2025 and looking back over and one of the things that concerns me most and we'll get
00:33:12.260 into the politics of it and the organization activism in the days ahead as the audience knows
00:33:17.760 have already you've galvanized people and working with other people just done so many great things
00:33:22.720 this audience has stopped really what would have been total anarchy and chaos and and that is one of
00:33:28.480 the great blessings that you should thank god for tonight as the new year ends um but i noticed that there
00:33:35.920 is a relentless push on the commercialization of this for this what i call agentic effect that ai that you
00:33:45.040 cannot live a whole life you cannot live a full life uh unless you have artificial intelligence as
00:33:51.700 an agent in your life talk to me about that because i think that's one of the as i look down the
00:33:58.340 battlefield i see this thing of trying to get particularly in the business community to start
00:34:03.000 there particularly for young people and that young people are going to bear the brunt of the
00:34:06.440 lack of jobs but as you try to put yourself forward in a profession and to learn whatever that craft is
00:34:13.000 whether it's investment banking and finance or whether it's real estate or whether it's
00:34:17.580 manufacturing or marketing everything this whole push that you're going to need uh an agent because
00:34:23.860 the way you get into a romantic relationship or start having discussions is that somehow you have to
00:34:29.440 have some sort of relationship with this artificial intelligence and they're pushing this commercial
00:34:34.800 application in an educational application the talk to me about the agentic effect
00:34:40.540 yes steve this is basically an advertisement for the end of humanity as we know it the way they talk
00:34:49.120 about it is as you say your life will not be complete you will never compete in business you'll never
00:34:54.760 compete in academia if you do not use ai i think the way that should be interpreted i think that when
00:35:01.440 people here use ai they should by and large think of it as offload your thinking to ai when you see
00:35:09.480 right now the applications across business in academia it's by and large so that you can
00:35:15.760 increase productivity that means that you've automated your thinking you have let the machine
00:35:21.520 interpret a document you've let the machine create your powerpoint you've let the machine
00:35:25.940 write all of your emails in many cases you've let the machine analyze important business matters or
00:35:32.980 financial problems and the machine itself is producing the solution the children are being
00:35:39.660 prepared for this they're being told again ai is how you're going to be able to compete against your peers but
00:35:46.860 we've seen from the beginning from the release of chat gpt that what it's by and large used for is to offload
00:35:54.360 thinking to the machine that means a number of different things steve the most critical i think beyond the
00:36:01.100 control element is that you're going to see an entire generation that is tempted to completely
00:36:08.160 offload their thinking to an algorithmic parasite this thing is going to live in their minds and be
00:36:16.060 the the the primary mechanism by which they analyze their own lives or their business lives their social
00:36:23.520 lives the society itself who to vote for who to trust all these things have already by and large been
00:36:29.960 digitized but at least in the previous cyborg era you had human beings that were communicating with
00:36:37.840 each other via digital formats and they were they were cyborg together now they're doing everything
00:36:44.960 possible and by they i mean google i mean xai i mean open ai and i'm being anthropic and i mean meta ai
00:36:52.800 all of these companies are positioning themselves into the the same place that each of us has been
00:37:00.120 in our own kind of cyborg eyes digital network aka the internet aka social media it was bad enough
00:37:09.000 already in my opinion you know you know that i'm very much an extremist when it comes to the downsides
00:37:14.800 of technology but even if you thought it was nightmarish that your child's best friend is a person
00:37:21.880 they've never met online think about a future in which your child's best friend in which your
00:37:27.300 child's girlfriend or boyfriend is online but isn't even human this is being born as we speak it will
00:37:36.720 continue to develop but again i really do believe that we we are at a point right now where critical
00:37:43.460 decisions are being made and can be made and if we have enough momentum behind the resistance to all
00:37:50.600 this and behind the acceptance of our humanity and the embrace of our humanity that as i oftentimes say
00:37:57.980 enough of us will make it um we've had you know the bulk of the show we've talked about the
00:38:04.440 islamification of europe that'll this whole push to you know tomorrow um mondami's going to take his
00:38:11.440 oath uh in new york city what 25 years 25 years after 9-11 and if you told people back then 25 years
00:38:19.620 you know a quarter of a century later you're going to have a guy put his hand on the quran
00:38:23.620 and swearing as the mayor of new york to replace rudy giuliani right or michael bloomberg or someone
00:38:29.400 like that um your religious training um the underpinnings of this because once again at a very
00:38:37.940 deep level and this is for people that maybe are not particularly religious you think you're totally
00:38:41.880 secular you just don't buy religion you're not particularly spiritual just like in the fight
00:38:46.000 on uh this war against the rise of uh of islam in the united states and in chrysidom uh this fight
00:38:54.400 right here is deeply spiritual all because on this side of the football you have um homo sapien
00:39:02.300 uh made in the image and likeness of god and on the other side you have enhanced homo sapien made in the
00:39:09.460 image and likeness of these oligarchs and and and the machine uh it how important was it that that
00:39:18.040 that religious training you got i mean one of the powers when we brought you over i said hey this guy's
00:39:23.020 got a master's in theology from the same place martin luther king went uh this is the guy we need
00:39:28.620 not some technician you know some high tech guy because they're not that they're not important but
00:39:33.500 they're kind of a dime a dozen is is this a religious and spiritual war at its core a thousand
00:39:39.580 percent steve and the idea of the image of god you think about what the ais are doing they're absorbing
00:39:48.220 all of the the images of ourselves that we're putting online yes photographs yes uh you know family
00:39:55.940 occasions or parties but this system this technological system is drawing out our deepest
00:40:03.160 fears our deepest hopes our desires is drawing out our personal relationships is drawing out our
00:40:10.020 communication patterns and has for decades what artificial intelligence does is it gives these
00:40:16.140 corporations or governments anyone who has sufficient amounts of compute and data can take all of that
00:40:24.480 otherwise by and large senseless data make sense of it and most importantly it can replicate you
00:40:32.460 now it may not be of quality of the same quality as you it won't matter if that's what is accepted
00:40:39.000 they can take all of your data they can replicate your image they can replicate your voice they can
00:40:45.300 replicate the types of things you would normally say they can replicate your mind it's a half-formed
00:40:50.300 wraith but as you say steve the the bill like the way they're pitching this is is that your digital
00:40:57.180 self will be as important as your actual self and when you get out into the really religious elements
00:41:02.820 of this the transhumanists who believe that we will upload our souls in that sort of way of thinking
00:41:09.340 the digital self is the self is the most important self it's a deeply religious idea it replaces the soul
00:41:17.320 with a digital twin
00:41:19.320 hang over a second joe uh dave brett ben harnwell we're going to go into the last block of 2025 think
00:41:30.500 back to the very beginning of those days before the inauguration of president trump a hell of a year
00:41:36.180 um i think the one before us we'll talk about that tomorrow actually going to be more historic
00:41:43.420 than what we've already been through remember setting things right uh was because of this audience
00:41:50.640 the power of the war and posse working class and middle class people that uh are informed and armed
00:41:58.440 in the uh information war that we fight short commercial break back with the team in a moment
00:42:04.120 in uh
00:42:06.120 Du lever nu, den leveren, i många långa år.
00:42:20.620 Du lever nu, den leveren, i många långa år.
00:42:50.620 Ja, just underneath the voice, that's good.
00:42:54.280 I want to thank our sponsor, and if you got on it last year at this time, you'd be on your way to early retirement.
00:43:05.320 Birch Gold, not the price.
00:43:07.820 Look at Silver, they exploded 80, backed off 9 points, back up.
00:43:13.020 You have to understand the pattern recognition, you have to understand the process.
00:43:16.200 That's what Birch Gold's done, such an extraordinary job.
00:43:18.440 Enter the dollar empire, understand why the dollar is the prime reserve currencies, so central to the financial life of this country, your community, your family, and yourself.
00:43:28.800 Understand that you're a long way down the path of understanding how the world works.
00:43:35.200 Birchgold.com, promo code Bannon.
00:43:36.740 Get it all, but most importantly, get to Philip Patrick and the team.
00:43:39.800 They can talk to you about the IRAs, 401Ks, all the methodologies.
00:43:43.720 But also, you can build a relationship with them and understand the power of physical gold.
00:43:50.040 And here's the interesting thing.
00:43:50.880 Philip Patrick and I didn't start as gold bugs.
00:43:52.620 I was anything but a gold bug, right?
00:43:54.460 Either it was Philip Patrick and came out of investment banking like I did.
00:43:57.120 But the destruction of fiat currency by overspending.
00:44:04.960 Topic for another day.
00:44:05.980 Birchgold.com.
00:44:06.880 Go check it out.
00:44:08.040 Dave Bratt, we've got a couple of minutes to wrap up.
00:44:10.100 I want to thank everybody, particularly this audience.
00:44:12.040 One hell of a 2025.
00:44:13.420 Would not have had it without this audience.
00:44:17.040 What do you got for us, sir?
00:44:18.080 Yeah, well, first thing I want to do is I'm getting some encouraging texts.
00:44:24.000 People love this conversation.
00:44:25.780 If you love any of these conversations, share this platform of the War Room with all your friends.
00:44:30.880 Shoot it out to your entire list.
00:44:32.840 If you want to change the world, change the world.
00:44:36.000 We're showing the connections between the Christian system and its competitors.
00:44:41.100 And for the folks who don't think they're religious or spiritual out there, I guarantee you are, right?
00:44:46.880 Wait until you're in a foxhole and things get really rough.
00:44:50.180 You got it in you.
00:44:51.520 I just want to encourage everyone.
00:44:53.320 Wish everyone a happy new year.
00:44:55.200 Please reach out to me.
00:44:56.100 I'm going to be in Los Angeles January 9.
00:44:59.180 Get me, email me, OBR, Office of Business Relations.
00:45:03.220 So just OBR at liberty.edu.
00:45:06.520 And get your young ones studying.
00:45:08.380 Liberty University is a great place to come visit.
00:45:10.960 I'll open for Q&A.
00:45:12.840 But Steve just mentioned, I'm going to close with just a laundry list.
00:45:15.720 Steve just mentioned the lists, the systems we have.
00:45:20.080 We have the Bretton Woods global order.
00:45:22.420 That's a system.
00:45:23.260 We have the technology system Joe just went over.
00:45:26.140 Our economic system, political system, rational system, ethical system, right system.
00:45:31.100 Those all came to you via Christianity.
00:45:33.400 The mayor, Mamdani, says, I share these.
00:45:37.820 Not sure.
00:45:38.560 Not sure.
00:45:39.600 Let's test them.
00:45:40.700 Start writing letters in your papers and op-eds.
00:45:43.500 Thank you, everyone.
00:45:44.740 God bless.
00:45:45.520 Happy New Year.
00:45:47.760 Happy New Year.
00:45:49.060 Ben Harnwell, two minutes.
00:45:50.820 What do you got for us from the eternal city, Rome?
00:45:52.900 So, OK, this is my New Year's message, following on from what you were saying before.
00:45:58.880 And then what Dave was saying just now about people who might not think of themselves as being religious.
00:46:04.520 Here's my message to you.
00:46:05.640 You might not be interested in this spiritual battle which you're talking about, of which Islam and AI are huge factors.
00:46:13.680 But this spiritual battle is interested in you and not taking a side.
00:46:20.860 If you think, I'm not interested, I'm not going to take a side.
00:46:23.360 That is taking a side because this spiritual battle is very real.
00:46:28.160 And this is what we do on the war.
00:46:29.960 And this is what we watch.
00:46:31.260 We bring you the information so that you can decide and use your agency.
00:46:35.760 That's my message, Steve, in a nutshell.
00:46:38.520 My New Year's message.
00:46:39.600 I wish you all a very happy New Year and, God willing, join you tomorrow.
00:46:45.940 Take care.
00:46:46.560 God bless.
00:46:48.900 Dave Bratt and Ben Harnwell will join me tomorrow as we kick off the New Year.
00:46:53.080 Joe Allen, you'll be out and about.
00:46:55.520 Give me a couple of minutes of your closing thoughts, sir.
00:47:00.580 Steve, 2025 was a crazy year.
00:47:03.140 It saw me all over the country and even over in Switzerland for a bit.
00:47:06.600 I've met all sorts of amazing people, people who are filled with spirit, people who are
00:47:13.460 filled with love for each other, and people whose love gives them the will to defend what
00:47:18.760 they love against invasion.
00:47:21.560 What we've heard today is, I think, a very astute, accurate description of a West that is
00:47:29.680 being invaded.
00:47:30.860 We're being invaded, have been invaded for centuries by sort of alien secular ideology that's allowed
00:47:38.040 for open borders and the invasion of the actual demographic, the actual people, by peoples
00:47:44.260 from all over the world whose religious systems are certainly not compatible.
00:47:49.240 On top of this is a technological invasion.
00:47:53.320 What we're seeing with artificial intelligence could easily be thought of as algorithmic immigrants
00:47:59.340 who are invading the digital space, taking jobs, forming deep relationships with people
00:48:06.040 and swaying the politics.
00:48:07.640 So I think if 2025 can be remembered as an age or a year of invasion, 2026 will be seen as
00:48:15.560 the period in which we are putting up the barriers.
00:48:18.960 We're drawing the lines and we're defending what we have and pushing it back out to where
00:48:24.180 it belongs.
00:48:28.120 Just last thing quickly, Joe, as you've gone around the country, really the world, but you've
00:48:33.680 gone around the country, I just want this audience to understand 2025, there is an awakening
00:48:38.300 and people are down for the fight.
00:48:41.380 You're not alone out there.
00:48:43.040 People are down for this fight.
00:48:44.500 Am I correct on that?
00:48:46.740 Absolutely.
00:48:47.180 The war room posse may be the tip of the spear, but we are absolutely not alone.
00:48:53.140 There's going to be some strange alliances, maybe some uncomfortable alliances, but we
00:48:57.340 know who the enemy is and we're going to continue to fight.
