00:08:06.060It is Friday, 31 July, the year of Alert 2026.
00:08:36.060The question we have before us today, can Western civilization actually garner the political will to defend itself and to push its project forward with some urgency and thrive and grow and be healthy in the greatest civilization in the history of mankind?
00:08:53.520It's created more wealth, more beautiful art, more magnificent discoveries.
00:08:58.960And the test case we have now is in, what, Spanish Morocco and Spain.
00:09:03.640And Ben Harnwell and Posobiec are going to join me.
00:09:06.360But the lesson here is this is what open borders, socialism.0.82
00:09:11.020This is the Ugandan Marxist jihadist running New York City.0.80
00:09:17.020This is what New York City's turned into.0.83
00:09:18.520We're going to have Benzman join us and Brian Harrison.
00:11:02.060On the other side, we have a neurosis and a lack of confidence about defending that culture
00:11:09.240that is almost the same weight as the culture itself.
00:11:11.940Half the people living in the West are ashamed of it. And they have no special inhibitions about working towards its implosion and its collapse. And you see that at the political level. And you see that in the left. You see that in the socialist, not only socialist government right now in Spain, Pedro Sanchez.
00:11:35.620Steve, the figures, what we're watching here now, which is to some extent the collapse of a civilization in slow motion, isn't the most important thing.
00:11:46.740You mentioned the 6pm show that we do.
00:11:52.600What you're seeing here is just a small element of the system breaking down.
00:11:57.980Far more dramatic than this is the fact that the same government in Spain granted an amnesty a few months ago.
00:12:07.460As I say, we've been covering this every week on our 6pm show, an amnesty of, they said, 500,000 invaders.
00:12:16.740The actual number of applicants who filed papers to remain legally in Spain was 1.2 million invaders.
00:12:26.020Once they have those papers, Steve, once they have those papers, they will be able to legally travel anywhere within the Schengen zone of the European Union, right?
00:12:39.040And in that case, we had basically nothing from Georgia Maloney.
00:12:44.000Now she's saying, because, I don't know, the figures are disputed of how many people are coming in over the last 40 hours.
00:12:56.020These figures, what we're seeing now has prompted the Italian government to say, OK, we'll suspend the Schengen Agreement, effectively the border control for people travelling in from Spain.
00:13:09.460But this is nothing compared to what has been done regularly with order according to due process.
00:13:18.460process that is how you know that what you are seeing coming out of italy right now is simply
00:13:26.620performative ben hornwell absolutely brutal hang on for a second ben's in rome jack basobic you
00:13:36.540remember when we came up with a book on humans war room um our war room imprint over at skyhorse
00:13:43.000you know we select these books and curate them to have as much impact as possible uh when jack
00:13:48.420basobiec came with his book uh on humans the firestorm on the left was uh pretty unbelievable
00:13:55.700and what they accused uh jack of oh you're a fascist you know you you like franco uh you talk
00:14:02.040about we got to get back to how you actually keep order folks what you saw in the opening cold open
00:14:08.980is on the ballot in november was it a large minority in this country maybe up to 50 percent
00:14:16.880at least 40 percent over a third let's say are ashamed of western civilization are ashamed of
00:14:24.120this country are ashamed of our revolution they're wracked with guilt and that's why it's no debating
00:14:31.660it's no it's no no set of debates or facts are ever going to change them this is the crowd that's0.99
00:14:38.180back of the ugandan marxist jihadists you want to see what socialism brings look at spain0.56
00:14:44.020just look at spain because that's what's coming we stopped it we put our fingers in the dike with0.93
00:14:50.540people like todd bensman and ben burquam michael yawn and uh and oscar blue ramirez and others
00:14:57.680short break you don't wait until your house is on fire to install a smoke detector and you don't
00:15:04.140wait until the wind and rain hammer your windows and the power goes out to prepare for a hurricane
00:15:10.680and you don't reach for your seat belt after the impact because after the crash the hurricane or
00:15:17.100the house fire it's too late similarly you don't wait until the dollar goes to zero before you buy
00:15:23.480gold it's too late then diversify with precious metals and diversify now because you never know
00:15:30.460what will threaten your savings next persistent inflation a weakening dollar unexpected financial
00:15:36.600disruptions you don't know what's coming but you can take preventative steps and you can take
00:15:41.740them today do that right now by requesting a free information kit on gold from my friends
00:15:47.540at birch gold group just text my name bannon b-a-n-n-o-n to the number nine eight nine eight
00:15:54.020nine eight there is no cost and no obligation just straightforward information on how you can
00:15:58.960diversify your savings, even an IRA or 401k with gold. I trust Birch Gold. You should trust them
00:16:07.120too. Text Bannon at 989898. Take action and do it today. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:16.940Okay, we have to stop with the happy talk. We have to stop with the campaign slogans. We have
00:16:21.500to stop with all that. Western civilization is on the brink. And we have to make a decision
00:29:38.420I'm going to get back to Harnwell in a moment, and it's such a great way to define it.
00:29:43.380You're either for stopping the invasion and expelling the invaders, or you're not.
00:29:48.440And that's the dividing line right now throughout Western civilization.
00:29:51.580Jack Posobiec, I know you've got to bounce. Closing thoughts, sir. And then where do people get your running commentary on your Twitter and Getter feed and where do they get the book? Because now more than ever, maybe they need to read Unhumans.
00:30:03.640well look and and you can go check out the book everyone knows where to get on humans but
00:30:08.960you see franco friday is back it is backed by popular demand they tried to take it away but
00:30:13.980the people demanded they said jack it's friday you got to do it you got to bring franco friday
00:30:18.260back because sometimes steve you got to call in the cleanup crew and the reason that the left and
00:30:25.360the communists hate franco so much that you can't even say his name in spain under the spanish
00:30:29.840government is because he's the one who beat them. He's the one. Spain was the one country where the
00:30:35.580communist revolution was defeated, was crushed and was broken in half. That's why they hate him
00:30:41.420so much. And because he restored the king, he restored the church. And by the way, go look at
00:30:46.460what he did to the Spanish economy, started the Spanish nuclear program, et cetera, et cetera.
00:30:50.420Okay. And by the way, this was not controversial. Ronald Reagan went over and met with him.
00:30:55.460Eisenhower went over and met with him. Salvador Dali was a huge fan of Franco because they
00:30:59.640tortured his sister during the revolution and so just just go back and look at the actual facts
00:31:05.380don't read the communist bs but steve let me let me ask you another question perhaps a little bit
00:31:10.420more salient isn't spain a nato member i thought spain was a member of nato and i thought that an
00:31:16.660attack or invasion on a nato member would trigger article five i i thought that's how collective
00:31:22.080defense work let me let me make a recommend let me make a recommendation on the on the on the uh
00:31:26.620Cabinet meeting will start at 11 o'clock. Let me toss out an idea for discussion.
00:31:30.340Let's pull everything, the carrier battle groups, let's pull everything out of Iran.0.99
00:31:34.960Let's get all the troops out of Iraq. Let's pull it all out of the Middle East.1.00
00:31:38.580And let's defend Western Christendom. Let's do it off of Spain.1.00
00:31:42.360Let's get the carriers back up to Rota. Let's stop the invasion. Let's move all the assets there.0.84
00:31:47.380It's an Article 5 invasion. Let's do it. President Trump should do it.0.95
00:32:01.880Western civilization is – this is what it felt like at Rome when the Visigoths were showing up and the Goths were showing up and the Vandals were showing up.0.93
00:32:11.980And people, good people just sat there and go, oh, my gosh, I don't know how we stop it.0.67
00:32:17.180pull everything out, pull both carrier battle groups and bring them around the road of Spain
00:32:22.820and let them sit there right there with the destroyers and the frigates and start rounding
00:32:26.980these guys up. And let's tell Spain, if you're not prepared to defend yourself, then you're a
00:32:32.420problem to the United States or America because it's all coming here and we're not going to0.97
00:32:36.460tolerate it. Jack Posobiec, your thoughts on that? Well, Steve, I certainly think that it's0.56
00:32:41.160absolutely covered by the art. It's completely legal and it's covered by something called
00:32:44.740article five of nato it's a mutual defense treaty anyone can go look it up that's the entire point
00:32:49.600of article five and see by the way by the way even if uh if the president you know has some
00:32:56.200some other some other plans going on then i say maybe maybe spain could restart a little something
00:33:01.240called the spanish foreign legion and i don't know maybe some folks could uh maybe some folks
00:33:07.140some good patriotic americans some good patriotic western christians could go over to spain i don't
00:33:13.540know maybe call it something like the trump brigades i'd like to i like the branding i'd like
00:33:18.920the branding i'd like that because the left the commies played the lincoln brigade forever we got
00:33:23.560a trump brigade of people prepared to volunteer and by the way you know what they call the commie
00:33:27.940brigade the other commie brigade they called it the anti-fascist brigade it was literally called
00:33:33.140the antifa brigade hey jack crisis king right viva cristo rey happy franco friday steve
00:33:42.260thank you brother always great uh ben harnwell uh nail this point you were making you're either
00:33:49.280with us or you're against us there's no in between you can't debate this you can't argue it sir
00:33:54.200it's the true dividing point in contemporary politics if i was actually going to say something
00:33:59.460different um i had a different point to finish on i'm going to come back to what you just said
00:34:04.060right um you suggested that this whole thing has a decline and fall of the roman empire type of
00:34:10.220Actually, when I saw those images this morning, I think that wasn't what I was thinking. I was thinking this has a Weimar energy to it because you have a governing class that does not have the confidence to govern and it does not have the confidence of the people.
00:34:27.280It's a Weimar energy, this. And when you see the state, the judiciary coming up saying, no, no, no, this might be enclaves in northern Africa, in Morocco, but they have, this is European, this is European Union territory, even if it's not continental Europe, and therefore the full protections of European law has to apply there.
00:34:49.020When you're doing that, you're setting the whole state up against the people, and you're saying, if you see this as an existential threat, you have to submit to what we're saying rather than defend your country.0.81
00:35:02.840When you do that, this is a Weimar energy, and I'll tell you why.
00:35:07.780Because this is what's going to happen.0.90
00:35:10.080You're going to get a guy or a woman come up and say, vote for me, and I will declare martial law.
00:35:16.540I will declare a state of emergency, and I will get every single one of these invaders out of our territory, and they are going to need to declare a state of emergency in order to do that, because the magistracy, the judiciary is lining up behind the invaders, as is the government, as is the whole of the state, right?0.89
00:35:37.140That's why this is setting up a Weimar dynamic, extremely important.0.93
00:35:41.560And there's just standing, everyone who could do something about it now is just sitting there, letting it happen.0.77
00:35:47.360And when that happens in five or 10 years time, when you're going to get someone who's going to come in and declare martial law to actually be able to do something about this problem,
00:35:56.880you're going to have all the people who did nothing now are going to be clutching at their pearls and say, oh, my God, this is the end of the world, the end of civilization.
00:36:05.640right there they are creating but their inaction is creating the circumstances of what is going
00:36:13.000to happen that is the energy here it's a weimar energy wow ben harnwell where do they go your
00:36:19.960six o'clock show you've been ahead of this now for about nine months uh talk to me about uh six
00:36:26.140i'll let you go get ready for your six o'clock show right now from rome live from rome uh what's
00:36:30.940your social media sir my get a platform is my social media of choice at harnwell i am also on
00:36:40.840x i am sorry steve to say this i am also on x the unmentionable platform ben underscore harnwell
00:36:49.280well you know elon's going to put some money cash in to save himself he's got to get a bailout
00:38:19.000OK, well, I was getting fed up with elected Republicans in the great state of Texas doing nothing more than like strongly worded tweets, you know, the letters of condemnation.
00:38:27.400I want action. And the 30 million people who call Texas home, they want action.
00:38:31.780So I demanded the governor call a special session because people are shocked to learn this.
00:38:35.780Birth tourism. Yeah, it's not a crime in Texas.
00:38:38.680And we apparently have a thriving birth tourism industry to facilitate anchor babies coming here in Texas right now.
00:38:45.740it's legal i think we should not tolerate that we should use every tool at our disposal to fight
00:38:51.340birth tourism so i want a special session to make birth tourism a felony i've been pushing for that
00:38:55.600but one of the other things i'm pushing for among many stop giving birth certificates to illegal
00:39:01.440aliens okay so i've been calling on the governor to direct the texas health department to stop
00:39:05.800issuing these are state documents stop giving them to illegal aliens okay he's refused to do that so
00:39:10.560far but i kept digging on this and i was shocked to learn that not only are we giving birth
00:39:14.360certificates to illegal aliens we're advertising birth certificates for illegal aliens on official
00:39:20.180government taxpayer funded websites and in the advertisement in huge bold font right on the texas
00:39:25.760government website we're advertising the the most popular foreign documents that you can use to get
00:39:32.180a birth certificate in texas i'm not making this el salvadorian you know consular documents mexican
00:39:37.440voter id here's my personal favorite a library card okay so the texas government advertising
00:39:42.660birth certificates for illegals and i've started july hold it hold it hang on hang on hang on slow
00:39:48.960hang on hang on slow down slow down full stop yeah there's a lot there's a lot i just want to
00:39:53.240hit this again are no no no no you're telling me given all the firestorm we've had in the last
00:39:58.780couple weeks about the the supreme court decision and your call for hey you gotta stop this in texas
00:40:04.340are you telling me that the texas government under abbott is paying average has advertising
00:40:10.840these websites up advertising how you actually do this and accomplish this to foreigners sir that
00:40:18.000are not u.s citizens yeah and actually we haven't even got to the real part of the scandal that the
00:40:23.300real real scandal is coming up but yes do you remember steve everyone made headlines this
00:40:27.040billboard these hospitals were advertising in mexico come have your baby in texas the national
00:40:32.400outrage on that this is worse than that because this is effectively the texas government which is
00:40:38.860taxing texans out of their homes highest property taxes rate in america effectively we're taxing
00:40:43.620texans out of our homes and we the government is advertising effectively birth tourism i think this
00:40:49.260is facilitating birth tourism at taxpayer expense get to texas have a baby for a couple hours and
00:40:55.720here are all the foreign documents we will accept to give you a state of texas birth certificate
00:41:02.300there's no reason we have to do that the supreme court can't make us spend you know appropriate
00:41:05.820state dollars to print these fancy texas birth certificates it's outrageous this is facilitating
00:41:11.040birth tourism at taxpayer expense but here's the real scandal so since july 2nd i've been tweeting
00:41:16.000out the link of this website every day demanding the governor stop giving birth certificates okay
00:41:19.920to illegals well apparently the pressure is working they didn't like that so yesterday
00:41:23.980morning i went and checked the website they had deleted deactivated the link that i've been
00:41:28.500tweeting at for the last month and i went looking for them saying hey did we get a big victory is
00:41:32.620texas stopping to give birth certificates and advertising birth certificates for illegals
00:41:36.360what i found is far more shocking than what i knew before they deleted the website not only one
00:41:41.160they just moved it so they re there's another website now with the same advertisement for
00:41:45.740birth certificates for illegals but worse when i was looking for where they put the advertisement
00:41:49.760i found that not only is the texas government advertising birth certificates for illegals
00:41:53.880they are using tax dollars to advertise birth certificates for illegals in spanish the texas
00:42:01.380government is taxing texans and using their hard-earned money to advertise in a foreign
00:42:06.120language to foreigners to non-citizens to illegal aliens that if you just get here to the state of
00:42:10.620texas we'll give you a birth certificate and we will in the spanish language help you facilitate
00:42:15.300what is effectively birth tourism and i'm sorry this is an absolute dereliction of duty in fact
00:42:21.140the texas should be fighting birth tourism this is much more akin to facilitating birth tourism
00:42:25.900at taxpayer expense and it's outrageous and needs to stop and needs to stop today
00:42:30.540brian hang on one second i know you got a basketball i just want to hold you for the
00:42:36.040part of the next segment to talk about the action plan we have to do this is outrageous
00:42:40.400this ties direct so i don't want to hear those guys oh mandami so terrible the fix is in the
00:42:47.980business interests in this country want more illegal alien labor they want more of the phony
00:45:25.220What is your call to action on this specific situation, sir?
00:45:29.540Yeah, absolutely, and look, I got to thank the posse.
00:45:31.980Y'all deserve a lot of credit for helping us deliver.
00:45:34.460The biggest conservative victories that have come out of the Texas government, the establishment uniparty in Texas and in D.C., they don't do things on their own out of the goodness of their heart.
00:45:43.020They do things only, sadly, when they feel pressure from the people.
00:45:46.920And so you guys have rallied around us, and we've delivered the biggest conservative victories.
00:45:50.060And we've got another one for you right now.
00:45:51.600Now, whether you live in Texas or not, you're vested in what happens in Texas.
00:45:56.500Texas is the line in the sand for the future of America and Western civilization, I firmly believe.
00:46:00.380So you can make a difference whether you live in Texas or not, and you need to care about what happens here.
00:46:04.100This is an existential generational crisis going on here.
00:46:08.000And so there's two very easy things you can do today.
00:46:10.560Number one, let the governor of Texas know that you want a special session right now.
00:46:17.000We want a special session called this year in 2026 to make birth tourism a felony in the state of Texas.0.72
00:46:24.040And then number two, something that doesn't even require a special session, the Texas HHS should be directed to immediately use their regulatory authority to stop giving birth certificates to illegal aliens.0.83
00:46:36.900I can't believe I have to say this.0.90
00:46:38.360And they've got to stop advertising in Spanish birth tourism.
00:46:42.160OK, but yeah, we need a special session.0.96
00:46:44.200We need to criminalize birth giving birth certificates.
00:46:48.660We need to criminalize birth tourism, make that a felony.0.99
00:46:50.780And then we need to stop giving birth certificates.0.99
00:46:52.680Oh, and by the way, while we're down here for special session, let's deal with Sharia law, too.0.82
00:46:57.060Let's deal with all the other things that a Republican government should be doing.0.99
00:47:00.760And Texas should have the boldest, most fearless pro-liberty government in America.
00:47:05.460Last thing, Harrison, please tell me, they didn't say bring a library card.
00:47:10.880A library card wasn't a form of ID, was it?
00:47:15.280Please tell me that that wasn't reality.
00:47:18.780You can either laugh right now or cry or throw something at the camera.0.95
00:47:22.660But unfortunately, you show up in the state of Texas with a Mexican voter ID and a library card.0.87
00:47:29.140The state of Texas will take tax dollars, will buy paper, will buy the ink.0.77
00:47:34.520We'll pay a bureaucrat to hand you a state of Texas seal emblazoned birth certificate that effectively is the facilitation of birth tourism here in the United States.
00:47:46.140And instead of fighting back after what the Supreme Court did, the Texas government is more akin to aiding and abetting and facilitating birth tourism.
00:47:53.520Can we put up the photo of Governor Abbott with the number once more time?
00:47:58.600Okay, I'm going to read the number for those listening or listening to the podcast.
00:48:19.660When you call and make contact, what should they say?
00:48:21.200And if you're in Texas, find your state rep and state senator.
00:48:22.840Tag them on social media and ask them why they haven't joined the call.
00:48:25.940We have had some, David Lowe, Chip Roy, Keith Self.
00:48:28.960But why isn't every elected Republican in Texas demanding this?
00:48:32.300If you live in Texas, find out who represents you in the legislature and make sure you make sure that you put them on notice to hold their feet to the fire.
00:48:40.340Texans deserve better than empty rhetoric out of elected Republicans in the capital law in Austin.
00:48:45.440Brian, what's your social media, the most hated social media in Austin by the established order?
