00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:07.720 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:12.960 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:17.220 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:00:19.140 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:00:20.560 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:00:23.240 It's going to happen.
00:00:24.520 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:27.920 Mega Media.
00:00:28.820 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:34.700 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:38.460 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:44.800 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:00:48.040 Thursday, 21st of May, Anno Domini, 2026.
00:01:01.580 Harnwell here at the helm on Steve Bannon's war room.
00:01:05.180 Well, folks, for those of you that caught me on the morning show,
00:01:08.200 the breakfast show with Steve this morning,
00:01:10.020 you might have heard us talking about this new Thursday show concept.
00:01:15.820 For those of you who didn't hear that,
00:01:17.540 But I'll just say a bit now what the idea behind this is.
00:01:20.920 We at the War Room always try to bring you folks the best news, the best analysis, the best commentary that you can trust.
00:01:31.720 So that you can better formulate for yourselves using your agency.
00:01:37.100 Very important to Steve Bannon.
00:01:39.320 Using your agency to make your own decisions.
00:01:42.840 And that is why I am particularly delighted today.
00:01:47.120 to say, announce that we have a collaboration every Thursday.
00:01:51.680 We're going to be joining with Ralph Schuelhammer,
00:01:55.540 who's the senior correspondent of two news portals
00:02:00.280 that I think are in the first class.
00:02:03.140 And I think both of these news sources are going places.
00:02:06.920 You might already have heard them.
00:02:08.820 Steve and I both post them occasionally on social media,
00:02:12.300 especially on our Getter accounts.
00:02:14.620 they are remix news rmx remix news and the brussels signal they are both absolutely excellent
00:02:23.920 um i go to them both every day browse through to find out what's going on um i i'd put it like
00:02:33.380 this i'd say that remix is is slightly like i'd say it's the nearest equivalent i have found
00:02:38.200 in europe to breitbart concentrating on european news absolutely excellent um and i know it's
00:02:47.020 going to have a particular resident resonance with the war in posse it's very good on stuff
00:02:51.900 uh to do with the invasion the illegal third world invasion in continental europe brussels
00:02:58.620 signal is more i'd say more high bar that's sort of that's going to be the ft type analysis
00:03:05.080 especially concentrating on the the European institutions the three institutions the European
00:03:10.980 Commission European Council European Parliament where decisions that affect all of our lives here
00:03:17.600 in continental Europe are made now why are we doing this show on Thursday because as the
00:03:22.640 administration as the Trump administration has made absolutely clear it thinks that continental
00:03:29.160 Central Europe is an essential ally and partner to the United States in defending Western civilization against its existential threats.
00:03:38.000 At the same time, the administration is making clear, particularly through statements of Vice President J.D. Vance, that there are moves in Europe to suppress freedom of speech, for example, primarily, but not exclusively, that massively diminish the EU's ability to be of any assistance to the United States whatsoever.
00:04:04.040 And those are the sort of the things that we're going to be digging down with every Thursday.
00:04:08.400 We'll pick out four stories for you, two from Remix, two from Brazil's Signal.
00:04:14.620 And with Ralph Shulham, as I say, senior correspondent of both of these news organizations, we're going to be digesting this.
00:04:22.860 First story, as I mentioned with Steve today.
00:04:25.780 First of all, Ralph, welcome on to the war room first of many appearances.
00:04:30.200 um you are in addition to a senior correspondent to both remix and brussels signal you are for them
00:04:38.020 a podcaster host in your own right i'll give you an opportunity at the end of the show just to
00:04:44.220 say a little bit where people might go to to catch those um we have some of your analysis
00:04:49.480 your own analysis analysis we'll be discussing on the show today the first story that i had chosen
00:04:55.400 today and i mentioned on the morning show with steve i framed it like this there are times when
00:05:01.860 you see a story and its resonance is massively magnified beyond the essential facts in and of
00:05:10.420 itself because it is an exemplar and a metaphor if you will of a wider reality this is a story
00:05:18.140 that i'm going to ask you just to explain a little bit about and it is the former french miss world
00:05:23.880 i think back in 2007 or something like that 28 20 years ago effectively miss france right was 0.92
00:05:32.680 sexually molested by there's no other easy way to say this folks by a north african invader
00:05:40.840 in france um and he has been sentenced to prison for six months as i said that is a metaphor it's
00:05:48.760 It's not just a story of one person being molested.
00:05:54.360 This is the former Miss France molested by a third world invader. 0.80
00:06:01.800 That is the situation, the ontological existence of France in the world today
00:06:09.020 represented and encapsulated in this single story.
00:06:14.140 Ralph, it's horrific. The headline in and of itself is horrific.
00:06:18.100 Why don't you break it down for us and tell us exactly what has happened?
00:06:22.360 Well, first of all, thanks for having me on Congratulations, Ben, for the war room going
00:06:25.660 international. I think it was about dying because there are many people in Europe and the US. We
00:06:29.940 are pulling in the same direction. So I'm glad to see that we're unifying our forces. No, I believe
00:06:34.820 this story is an example of something that many voices, I'm sure that many of your viewers are
00:06:40.020 familiar with the Canadian writer Mark Stein, have been warning about for at least 20 years.
00:06:45.680 Everything that they said is going to happen is now happening.
00:06:49.540 I mean, as you can see, I think this is very important because even those like a Miss France or a Miss World who thought that they would be shielded from the most negative consequences of mass migration, that worked for a while, but no longer. 0.67
00:07:03.800 I mean, this reminds me something your viewers probably can relate to what happened to Lara Logan in Egypt during the Arab Spring, right?
00:07:12.000 I mean, there's still this kind of idealization of mass migration.
00:07:16.300 And no, no, they're just like us.
00:07:17.860 And you bring them to Europe, you bring them to the US.
00:07:20.360 It's like magic soil.
00:07:21.880 They step foot on our territory and boom, they're immediately like we are.
00:07:27.340 And they're immediately like people who have lived in the US and Europe for generations.
00:07:30.880 And we can see now this is simply not the case.
00:07:33.100 It's a tragic story.
00:07:34.380 But to be quite honest, it has been entirely foreseeable.
00:07:39.700 Entirely foreseeable.
00:07:40.860 And, of course, you mentioned Mark Stein's incredible book, America Alone, that was some 20 years ago, that plots this out and provided very much the narrative, I think, for the anti-invasion agenda back in the days before you could even call it an invasion.
00:07:57.240 and it was too politically incorrect this um this is absolutely horrific and of course as
00:08:02.540 as this show goes on we've got some other stories here that illustrate ralph the point that you're
00:08:07.560 making that you can't bring in people from radically different backgrounds expect them
00:08:13.640 to get a a stamp in the passport and automatically then assume in in that very act all the the liberal
00:08:21.980 progressive um fundamentals uh along that that comes along with citizenship you you break this
00:08:30.380 down in fact we'll talk about this just in a couple of moments or or so time because you have
00:08:34.800 written a simply superb analysis on why the right keeps winning we'll discuss that in just a moment
00:08:41.040 um and of course you tie these things together but just tell me about this um about this specific
00:08:47.560 case you mentioned that that uh that naive expectation i'd go further than that ralph i
00:08:53.640 i think they knew that this was never going to work that was just the pretext that they were i
00:08:59.080 think it's about um what's the the the rather um spicy term that's used in some corners of social
00:09:06.600 media it's ethnic substitution uh that is what it is um that has been part of the goal uh and i i i
00:09:15.320 do put a spiritual overwriting on my analysis on this i think it's fundamentally driven by people
00:09:22.440 who are against anti the kingdom of jesus christ and the best way that they found of destroying
00:09:29.100 uh the christian culture in europe was by destroying the the basis on on which europe
00:09:36.180 was founded and you can see this you know we're going to break this down later on in the show
00:09:39.940 there's some interesting statistics on the differences between uh christians and muslims
00:09:46.560 on how they think the the precepts of their religion uh have a relationship with the secular
00:09:53.620 laws of the state i just want to say to you that i think the situation here in france the molestation
00:10:01.220 the sexual molestation of Miss France by a Moroccan invader.
00:10:08.860 I think that our elites across the European Union have betrayed us in the past. 0.77
00:10:16.560 They have been betraying us in the past.
00:10:18.120 They are betraying us today, and they will go on betraying us in the future
00:10:22.420 until we, the people, do something about it.
00:10:25.780 Because as Steve Bannon says constantly on the war,
00:10:28.700 this only ends when we end it.
00:10:30.600 Just give me once more again the major essential points of this story. We'll put the link out on social media for people to study it in greater detail. But this guy, correct me if I'm wrong, he couldn't even speak proper French in his own defense, right?
00:10:49.980 No, that is correct.
00:10:51.320 And I don't want to switch the topic, but we had a worst case just a couple of weeks
00:10:54.900 ago in Austria, where a six-year-old girl, and I want to, you know, just to ponder this
00:10:59.740 for a second, where a six-year-old girl was raped by a 52-year-old man from Syria, and
00:11:04.840 he needed an interpreter in court because he didn't speak a single word of German. 1.00
00:11:09.000 And let me also be very clear, when you use the word invasion, I think it's the accurate 0.97
00:11:13.260 term, and I'll tell you why. 1.00
00:11:14.360 In 2015, if you look at the demographics of the people that came to Europe, they were between 90 and 92 percent male. 0.86
00:11:21.920 There are some branches of the U.S. military where the female percentage is higher than it was in that, you know, again, some say it was a refugee wave. 0.99
00:11:30.340 But as I say, it has all the characteristics of an invading army. 0.72
00:11:34.580 It was mostly men in their 20s and 30s.
00:11:37.000 And the last point I want to make, which Daftale is very good with this story and is so crucial
00:11:41.680 to understand, sexual violence is not just about sexual gratification.
00:11:46.760 It is about power, right?
00:11:48.380 How do you show another group, another culture, whatever you want to name it, that you're
00:11:52.600 in the process of conquering them? 0.56
00:11:54.080 Like one for pretty much the existence of us as a species, it is sexual domination over 1.00
00:12:00.360 the women.
00:12:00.940 And this is precisely what you see, not just in France.
00:12:03.380 I mean, we picked out this case because it symbolizes it very strongly, but you see this
00:12:07.640 everywhere.
00:12:08.280 We have very reliable empirical data about the increase of sexual violence and the over-representation
00:12:14.240 of people from particularly non-Western backgrounds.
00:12:17.300 I just want to make clear to everyone, what we are talking about here is grounded in empirical
00:12:22.300 facts and empirical data.
00:12:23.740 This isn't just you, Ben, and me spouting off and saying, oh, this is all terrible and
00:12:27.800 we try to rile people up.
00:12:29.000 We are describing a factual situation, and I think that is very, very important to point
00:12:33.060 doubt um before i give a quick shout i know we don't we've run out of time to discuss this
00:12:40.120 particular story but i have to say this because this is in addition to everything about this story
00:12:47.720 which is emblematic of the wider crisis in france today is the fact that the prosecutor on on behalf
00:12:57.360 of the French state that successfully got six months in prison.
00:13:02.120 I think he's actually sought, the prosecutors actually sought
00:13:05.180 a larger sentence than that, I think, but they've actually succeeded
00:13:10.880 with six months.
00:13:12.740 They also sought a ban from French territory for two years.
00:13:17.340 Now, I don't know whether they got that ban in or not,
00:13:21.540 but when I read that, I nearly fell out of my chair.
00:13:23.720 this guy should be deported from continental europe sent back to africa and he should never
00:13:30.340 set foot on european soil again the the fact that they sought a two-year ban shows you exactly how
00:13:38.560 performative our states our governments are in um in uh in continent continent as look we have to
00:13:48.400 move on right but as a counterpoint to that people in the uk have been have got larger prison
00:13:56.940 sentences for their anti-immigration tweets on social media than what this guy has got absolutely
00:14:03.160 appalling and disgusting um but that i think is is it is emblematic of of the crisis of the french
00:14:11.060 state that is incapable of doing anything about it uh ralph stay with us uh we've got more to
00:14:17.720 breakdown just a quick shout out however i must give to birch gold sponsoring this show as you
00:14:24.940 know as i mentioned on the show yesterday folks the national debt in the united states is now
00:14:30.140 equal to the um to the gdp and you guys in america are paying the grand tune of three billion dollars
00:14:40.920 Not per year, per day in interest repayments. That is a very clear indication that when the government, the American state seeks to get out of this problem, because it's not going to tax people to pay this increasing interest on the debt, it's going to print money.
00:15:05.700 That is your sign that there is going to be asset inflation and primarily in gold.
00:15:10.940 So give Philip Patrick and his team at Birch Gold a call.
00:15:17.160 If you phone, if you send a banner, the name text Bannon to 989898,
00:15:23.480 they'll send you a free information kit on diversifying into gold.
00:15:29.600 They'll also give you any advice you might need on helping to convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold, if that's what interests you.
00:15:41.660 And if you get that text in now, get your phone out now and text BANNON to 989898 before the 29th of May, then Philip Patrick and his team will tell you all about this special offer that they have between now, as I say, and the 29th of May.
00:16:01.720 giving first-time gold buyers a rebate of up to ten thousand dollars on qualifying purchases so
00:16:10.680 get that text over to philip patrick and his team at birch gold right now bannon b-a-double-n-o-n
00:16:17.400 to nine eight nine eight nine eight um ralph shulhammer you wrote i think what is one of the
00:16:24.800 best analysis analyses i have read this year um this was published in the brussels signal why the
00:16:32.780 european right keeps rising and you've basically gone through the german context here um specifically
00:16:40.500 though you do say that the parallel situations exist outside of germany also in austria france
00:16:46.780 netherlands italy so on and so forth talking specifically how now folks if you follow our
00:16:54.240 show on Fridays that we do at this hour, you'll know that we talk about the Brandt Mauer quite
00:17:00.540 frequently, the firewall in Germany, which is the cordon sanitaire to keep the AFD out, to stop the
00:17:08.200 main political parties, the CDU and the SDP from going into coalition with the AFD. You make some
00:17:21.920 great points in this article and specifically uh to just to cite one of them you mentioned that
00:17:31.600 the way the european states member states have been designed now including the european
00:17:37.600 institutions themselves you say that and i quote from your article all substantial decisions
00:17:44.640 regarding what most people see as as existential priorities and you cite migration specifically
00:17:51.680 but also energy policy those decisions are made elsewhere in administrative organs accountable
00:17:58.400 to nobody the voter can remove um that is a pretty strong accusation about the way we do things here
00:18:09.040 in continental europe you're basically saying these are not fundamentally they have the outer
00:18:15.680 semblance of democracy but then they're fundamentally anti-democratic democratic and
00:18:20.880 when they are going about suppressing um free speech which we'll come on to a little bit later
00:18:26.800 and indeed even political representatives themselves they're doing that in the name of
00:18:31.840 democracy and yet as you point out those decisions that are most in uh of importance to people they
00:18:39.840 can't change them because they've been removed from the democratic process by international
00:18:44.240 treaty backed up by activist judges. Tell me a bit more about that thesis that you build in this
00:18:49.740 article. Well, I would argue that the anti-migration movement in Europe is not something that is
00:18:55.640 particularly new. It goes back to the 1960s. And in the 1970s and 80s, you have the first openly
00:19:00.800 anti-migration parties. They very often did quite well at the polls, but then it disappeared quite
00:19:06.260 quickly because the entire establishment turned against them. But if you look at polling regarding
00:19:10.800 migration. Europeans wanted less of this. And by the way, I always want to build a little bit of
00:19:14.800 a bridge to your American audience. It's the same in the United States. There's been, at least for
00:19:20.240 the last 60 years, a general sentiment among Western societies, and that also includes Canada
00:19:25.120 and Australia, that too much migration from culturally non-compatible parts of the world
00:19:30.000 has happened, and they want to reverse it. So then politicians went out and said,
00:19:33.840 oh, we hear you, don't you worry, we take care of it. Then they get back into office,
00:19:38.240 and they never did anything.
00:19:39.560 I mean, there's a reason why in the United Kingdom
00:19:41.440 under Boris Johnson, right,
00:19:43.160 who was supposedly a conservative prime minister,
00:19:45.200 they speak of the Boris wave.
00:19:47.880 This was basically open borders policy under Boris Johnson.
00:19:50.940 In Germany, the most disastrous decision regarding migration
00:19:53.920 were made under Angela Merkel,
00:19:55.760 who on paper was a member of the conservative CDU.
00:19:59.440 So in many ways, when we argue,
00:20:01.080 which I think is in essence still true,
00:20:03.520 that open borders is primarily a left-wing political program,
00:20:06.820 In many cases, it was executed by the right wing.
00:20:10.400 And I would argue the same is until Donald Trump came onto the scene was true in the
00:20:15.020 United States.
00:20:15.820 Remember, Ben, in 2016, the main issue Trump was running on was migration, because even
00:20:21.740 in the United States, that was the main topic.
00:20:24.060 So the issue we have now is that we have governments, and then we have permanent shadow
00:20:29.300 governments, or the American term would be we have the deep state that consists of NGOs,
00:20:33.680 that consists of funding through things like USAID,
00:20:37.040 where you have the European equivalent.
00:20:38.740 And what they basically do is they make sure
00:20:40.760 that a right-wing government, at best, can get into office,
00:20:45.120 but it can never really get into power.
00:20:47.580 But in order to change things, you need to get into power.
00:20:50.480 And once again, this is what we saw so much also in the United States,
00:20:54.000 which I believe Donald Trump is trying to do now differently
00:20:56.820 in the second term to say,
00:20:58.280 it's not enough just to be the president.
00:21:00.780 I actually have to be in power and use it.
00:21:02.840 And what we see with some of the European right-wing parties, the AFD, the Freedom Party and others, I think that they have learned from the American experience and that they are saying it's not enough just to win the election.
00:21:13.840 If we win it, we actually have to change things, which then also shows you a story we're going to talk about later, where there is even more an attempt to clamp down on free speech and open debate as there was in the past.
00:21:22.900 you mentioned just now the afd you say in this article that people are flocking towards the afd
00:21:30.580 not because they've had it with democracy but actually because they want to save democracy
00:21:35.980 why did you write that what's the context between that and why why do you say that
00:21:40.800 because obviously most people still want to affect change within the democratic system so
00:21:47.440 this is not the weimar situation where a significant number of people is saying you
00:21:51.760 know what, the entire system of democracy has to go, at the moment they're still saying
00:21:56.080 the parties who are in charge have to go.
00:21:58.480 But if the feeling persists that your vote does not make a difference, it is only a matter
00:22:03.680 of time until you say, you know what, it's not just the parties, it's the entire system.
00:22:08.260 So I always say that if the AFD should fail, if they will forever be excluded from political
00:22:13.620 decision making, they will disappear.
00:22:16.440 But what's going to replace them will be a new movement or a new party that's not going
00:22:19.880 to say we want to be a new force within the democratic system they will say we want to be
00:22:24.500 a new force that is completely different and outside of the democratic system and that's
00:22:28.620 going to be much much uglier than what we are seeing currently sometimes on the show i've made
00:22:35.140 the argument that these various populist nationalist iterations that we see around the world
00:22:39.640 are really exactly what you just said that the last chance to be able to change the system from
00:22:45.580 within because and if and if these are blocked if the if the political establishment successfully
00:22:52.000 blocks these populist nationalist iterations from doing that to they you know it's very very good
00:22:58.860 for propaganda to say that we're the bad guys but to our right right to our right further out there
00:23:05.560 are people that don't accept any of the the fundamental reforms that we want to they just
00:23:11.360 want to overthrow it this is like capital art revolution um and that i think that's why what
00:23:16.580 why it's so essential and imperative um that that this movement gets to succeed on that subject now
00:23:25.660 we've got a commercial break coming up in just a couple of moments but on that subject you do make
00:23:30.100 the argument that um the second world war uh the experience of fascism and nazism really introduced
00:23:39.940 race and ethnicity into nationalism, which wasn't there before.
00:23:49.100 On that point, I was thinking, because in my analysis of the, here in Italy, of the
00:23:59.600 populist nationalist movements there is now an element of ethno nationalism that i haven't seen
00:24:10.840 i hadn't seen like five ten years ago it's quite widespread but it really only exists in young guys
00:24:16.380 who are younger than 25 anyone pretty much older than that um i've not really heard any strong
00:24:23.400 ethno nationalist arguments from but that's the age group i'm starting to see this picking up in
00:24:28.880 and ralph my my fear is my my my uh my worry is and perhaps just give me 60 seconds on this before
00:24:36.860 we go to the commercial break that is due to a failure of of our generation i think to make
00:24:44.480 the system if you will work for ordinary people because when we when we talk in terms of cultural
00:24:51.140 nationalism which you indicate in this article we end where we're being rejected we're being
00:24:57.620 dismissed out of hand now by a generation that's coming through that knows it's been betrayed
00:25:02.780 and is rejecting the whole superstructure of anything that that you know of institutional
00:25:10.320 conservatism institutional nationalism it's just all being rejected and they're saying anyone who
00:25:16.040 says anyone who says what you're saying because it's true because you mentioned that the performative
00:25:21.740 nature of the center right in germany these go what we're saying is being said by the center
00:25:26.840 right leaders and those guys basically are traitors so if you're going to say that we'll
00:25:32.440 just dismiss you as well we want the full-blooded ethno-nationalism just give me 60 seconds if you
00:25:38.400 wouldn't mind about what's taking place within generation z at the moment and what you think
00:25:43.860 in the future dynamics going to be there well listen i'm not i'm not a fan of ethno-nationalism
00:25:48.700 because i consider myself a cultural nationalist but i will say one thing every left-wing party
00:25:53.120 has pandered to racial issues, right?
00:25:55.540 The minorities, the people of color and whatnot.
00:25:58.920 So it was only a matter of time, 0.98
00:26:00.540 and other people much smarter than me have predicted this,
00:26:02.880 that it's only a matter of time
00:26:04.040 until white people will find their own party as well. 0.77
00:26:07.980 Yeah, and there you actually do,
00:26:10.960 but you agree with my thesis here
00:26:12.360 that there is a tendency amongst young Gen Z guys
00:26:16.660 to speak the whole thing.
00:26:19.700 100%.
00:26:20.180 And again, it illustrates the importance that the nationalism that I think that Trump is leading,
00:26:28.140 President Trump is leading the United States, that the AFD in Germany, so on and so forth,
00:26:33.980 be allowed to succeed, because if that fails, then it's only going to give the impetus to the ethno-nationalists.
00:26:41.720 I quite agree with you on that.
00:26:42.960 Ralph Shorhamer, stay with us.
00:26:45.620 We'll be back in two minutes after this short commercial break, specifically now to discuss
00:26:51.900 the growth of Islam in continental Europe.

00:27:14.780 proving it's here to stay by becoming more aggressive than ever before. They're sending
00:27:20.180 out more collection notices, filing more tax liens, and collecting billions more in recent years.
00:27:27.160 If you owe, the IRS can garnish your wages, levy your bank accounts, seize your retirement,
00:27:34.100 and even your home. If you owe or haven't filed, it's not a question of if the IRS will act,
00:27:41.000 it's a question of when it will act right now tax network usa is offering a completely free

00:28:53.180 The dollar's convertibility into gold ended in 1971.
00:28:58.140 Gold was fixed at $35 an ounce.
00:29:01.560 Well, fast forward to today, and the U.S. dollar has lost over 85% of its purchasing power.
00:29:08.460 Gold, on the other hand, is increased in value by over 12,000%.
00:29:13.100 That's why central banks are buying gold at record levels.
00:29:17.000 That's why major firms like Vanguard and BlackRock hold significant positions in gold.
00:29:22.680 And that's why I encourage you to consider diversifying your savings with physical gold from Birch Gold Group.
00:29:30.720 But it starts with education.

00:32:20.560 up for free and be part of the movement welcome back folks what this story the third story that
00:32:28.580 we're going to be discussing on the show today, I think draws up and synthesizes the first
00:32:34.680 two arguments we were discussing in the first half of the show. There's an article out now
00:32:40.580 in the Standard German newspaper, which has a horrific statistic. I think anyone who'd
00:32:51.100 read Mark Stein's America Alone, Ralph Schulhammer 20 years ago, as you were saying, won't be
00:32:57.520 surprised, but I think it's surprising the German establishment. 41% of Muslim youth agree with the
00:33:05.220 statement that their religious laws take precedence over the laws in Austria, excuse me, Austria here
00:33:14.820 rather than Germany, compared to only 21% of Christian youth. That is an astonishing gauntlet
00:33:24.300 which is being thrown down, is it not, to the secular nature of the modern European state?
00:33:31.680 Well, it gets even worse. In the city of Vienna, 48% of public middle schools,
00:33:36.520 48% of the pupils are Muslims. I mean, this is always the argument one has to keep in mind.
00:33:42.360 If you want to see what the future of a country looks like, you have to look at the maternity 1.00
00:33:46.560 wards, you have to look at the kindergartens, because the generation there is going to be 0.99
00:33:49.960 future generation. At the moment, there are bits and pieces and parts in continental Europe,
00:33:55.080 particularly in the urban areas. The countryside is slightly different. That, as things are standing
00:33:59.480 now, will have a Muslim future. Vienna, at its current course, is going to be a Muslim city 0.88
00:34:05.320 one or two generations down the road. Now, I think these things can still be changed, 1.00
00:34:09.080 and by the way, I also don't think that this transformation is going to be peaceful,
00:34:13.560 because everybody's getting angry about it, which is the reason why the right-wing parties are
00:34:17.160 arising. And it also shows you something else. I'm pretty sure that Osama bin Laden has not been
00:34:22.140 quoted very often on the war room, but he has this line where he once said that if people see
00:34:27.460 a strong horse and a weak horse, they are automatically drawn to the strong horse.
00:34:31.540 And unfortunately, in the European cultural battle, Islam at the moment is the strong horse, 0.97
00:34:37.120 which is why we also have growing numbers of conversions where young people become Muslim 0.86
00:34:40.920 voluntarily because they say, I can either integrate or remain part of a culture that
00:34:46.120 hates itself that is uh you know subsumed on the tyranny of guilt that constantly goes around the
00:34:51.780 world and apologizes for itself or we can join this other idea this other religion that is very
00:34:56.980 proud and you know is uh is full of self-confidence and that seems to be more appealing than we are
00:35:01.620 willing to admit what do you um think about images that get shot around the world every now and again
00:35:10.820 there's one like a couple of weeks ago i think um a month or so ago where when pope leo went to
00:35:18.000 lebanon um and he was there in the mosque with without his shoes on um praying together with
00:35:24.420 with the local imam what kind of message do those images signal both within the islamic
00:35:31.300 sphere but also within the christian sphere in the light of what you're just saying i'm not gonna
00:35:37.020 to lie, I'm Catholic myself, but I'm very disappointed in the leadership of the Catholic
00:35:40.820 Church. And I would have wished that when the choice was made, that the new Pope would
00:35:44.900 have been a Pope from Africa, because they know what it means if you're up against a 0.88
00:35:49.160 foe that wants to kill you. And I think, again, this is massively underestimated. We never
00:35:53.820 talk about the churches that are being burnt in France. We're never about the churches
00:35:59.420 where graffiti is sprayed on in Austria and in Germany. I think in Austria, the number
00:36:03.160 around 19 churches. We never talk about this. If these would be mosques, it would be a headline
00:36:07.700 in the New York Times. But it's just churches. Nobody cares about it. And as a quick side note, 1.00
00:36:12.380 Notre Dame, again, I'm speculating here, I might be wrong, but to this day, I believe it was arson,
00:36:18.120 that all these churches were the victim of arson. But the biggest, the most significant one,
00:36:22.440 there it was just some guy who forgot to put out his cigarette. I'm sorry, I don't believe it.
00:36:26.600 so you think that the French government
00:36:31.180 has been lying to its own people
00:36:33.340 on the origins of that configuration 0.99
00:36:36.080 I quite agree with you
00:36:39.560 coming back to this Remix article
00:36:43.260 that breaks down
00:36:47.280 the 41% of Muslims
00:36:50.980 who believe that German secular law 0.74
00:36:53.960 needs to be the austrian secular needs to be um subservient to the precepts of islam
00:37:02.540 there is another statistic buried in here in this research that says one third of muslim youth have
00:37:10.920 become even more religious recently the thing the word there that i home in on is the youth aspect
00:37:19.100 Because this, to me, illustrates we're not talking about immigrants who have come in, say, like a number of decades ago. 0.89
00:37:31.280 These are either invaders that are here now or second, third generation of immigrant backgrounds who are increasingly becoming more Islamic. 0.93
00:37:41.780 I often find in my experience in the UK, but also here in Italy, of meeting first-generation migrants from Islamic backgrounds, they're incredibly secular to a certain extent. 0.99
00:37:54.120 They have nostalgia for their homeland and what they've left, but they know what they left and they know why they left it. 0.79
00:38:01.120 That reality is often missing in their kids and in their grandchildren, and there seems to be a radicalisation going on.
00:38:09.240 There's a radicalization going on in Christendom as well. We talk about this on our Wednesday show every week, a revival taking place amongst Gen Z guys, young guys, who are basically in their very early 20s, who are out on social media talking about their Christian faith, their Catholic faith, their evangelical faith in an incredibly compelling way.
00:38:32.420 um but for every one of those guys there's 20 30 40 muslim guys
00:38:38.180 increasingly embracing their own religious tradition you you i don't put words in your 0.94
00:38:48.540 mouth ralph but i i think you would see a very strong warning sign in that development right
00:38:55.140 that one third of muslims in europe are becoming more religious i think there's a strong warning
00:39:01.520 I think there's a strong warning sign, but we have to dig a little deeper here. 1.00
00:39:05.220 I mean, one of the reasons why particularly young men flock with a migrant background 0.99
00:39:09.300 flock back to radicalize or whatever term you want to use, it's not because they all 0.82
00:39:13.800 have read the Quran or they're experts on the theology of the writings of Mohammed.
00:39:19.140 It is because it is a religion that has self-confidence.
00:39:22.860 And just like with everything else, young people want to be part of a movement that
00:39:26.740 is self-confident, that claims that the future belongs to it.
00:39:30.200 And Islam does this very successful. 0.98
00:39:32.480 And there is nothing, at least in continental Europe, with few exceptions, like there are small pockets, that we have as a counter movement.
00:39:40.260 So if you want people to integrate, if you want people to have an identity, something is always stronger than nothing.
00:39:46.600 And Islam is something. 0.55
00:39:48.360 But European identities, whatever they are, are very, very close to nothing.
00:39:52.600 What does it mean to be German?
00:39:53.900 If you even ask the question to a German politician, they will say, well, even to ask such a question is, you know, proto-fascist and quasi a neo-Nazi aspect.
00:40:03.900 I mean, it's very similar in the United States.
00:40:05.480 The very idea that there is something genuinely German, genuinely American, genuinely Austrian that is worth being preserved is already seen as, you know, something there should be a law against.
00:40:16.900 And like in the UK, just remember, there has been a girl in the United Kingdom who was wearing a dress that had the Union Jack on it, like I think one of the Spice Girls that did 20 or 30 years ago.
00:40:26.540 She was sent home and told to wear a different dress.
00:40:29.580 And she, this young girl, I think she was 11, asked the one most profound question.
00:40:33.920 She said, why is everybody allowed to wear something that signifies their culture, but I'm, as an English girl, are not allowed to wear something that signifies English culture?
00:40:42.720 And that's the main problem. 0.71
00:40:44.100 If you have Islam and you count the movement to Islam is basically nihilism or hatred of yourself, nobody's going to sign up for that. 0.96
00:40:52.940 The multicultural elites that have been driving this agenda for the last sort of 60 years in the UK, I'll put this thesis to you, Ralph Schulhammer, that these multicultural elites, they're not particularly interested in other cultures. 0.88
00:41:13.080 They're just using the existence of other cultures that they brought in to the West as the pretext for suppressing Christianity, basically, and the culture that derives out of Christianity.
00:41:26.320 Am I being cynical on that? Or do you think that that's pretty much the case here?
00:41:31.940 No, I think you're correct. But I would say it's not just Christianity. It's the entire Western inheritance.
00:41:36.060 I mean, they hate nationalism or secular nationalism just as much.
00:41:39.820 And the big lie is, and I'm using this term advisedly, is that there is no such thing
00:41:43.420 as multiculturalism.
00:41:44.800 There might be multi-ethnic societies.
00:41:46.820 I mean, take the United Kingdom, right?
00:41:48.660 You have Welsh, you have Scots, you have the English.
00:41:50.440 They are basically a multi-ethnic country, but they have one culture, which is British
00:41:55.020 culture.
00:41:56.020 The same in Germany.
00:41:57.020 Somebody from Bavaria is different than somebody from Berlin.
00:41:59.860 But even though they're multi-ethnic, right, they're still one German culture.
00:42:03.500 The problem is that if you have completely different cultures, like Islam and whatever
00:42:07.800 is left of Western culture, at some point, they're going to collide. 0.99
00:42:11.880 I mean, I find this completely absurd.
00:42:13.860 In 2003, we have been told, well, it's absolutely impossible.
00:42:18.320 Sunni, Shia, and Kurds, they cannot coexist with each other.
00:42:21.860 But you think that post-secular Europeans and re-religionized Muslims, that they can 1.00
00:42:27.600 coexist?
00:42:28.200 I mean, everybody who claims this, in my opinion, is completely out of their mind.
00:42:31.140 yeah well um we're in the closing moments of the show we'll hit the fourth story i think that that
00:42:38.840 caps off your point perfectly ralph first of all have a quick shout out to to the two sponsors of
00:42:45.620 the second half of this show i was reading um a couple of days ago about this guy called john
00:42:51.960 nester who worked for the the food and drug administration in the 80s um and this guy had
00:42:59.560 this habit of blocking up the beltway every weekday morning for miles behind as he drove
00:43:07.520 along at the 55 in the overtake lane in 55 miles per hour, the legal speed limit. That
00:43:16.460 illustrates the perfect nature, and this I think will be a great insight to the Maha
00:43:22.920 crowd right this is the insight of people who govern over us they take our
00:43:29.400 taxes for their for their exorbitant salaries and pensions and health care
00:43:36.520 system right and they their fundamental shtick is that they know better than we
00:43:42.960 do and we put these people in these positions so it's fundamentally our fault
00:43:48.120 But I thought this was a perfect example. This guy was a senior reviewer on cardiac and renal drugs at the FDA who did this, who blocked up the Beltway.
00:44:00.960 And he had a record of zero approvals. He wouldn't approve anything. And they even tried to get rid of him.
00:44:07.820 I learned about this guy because I got it in the briefing from Jim Rickards, sister at Paradigm Press.
00:44:18.120 And that's why I thought it was absolutely fascinating.
00:44:20.660 Gave me great insights there.
00:44:22.420 And that's why I just want to mention, folks, today.
00:44:27.180 Because I'm always talking about Jim Rickards, Paradigm Press.
00:44:31.940 We do say on The War Room, he's our wise man.

00:44:56.720 And I couldn't recommend it more highly.
00:44:58.560 As I said, I spend my own hard-earned cash on that.
00:45:02.860 And my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

00:45:48.460 there's anything that can be done for you in terms of better health service perhaps on on premiums
00:45:55.760 or what have you and they are not in the pocket of the healthcare lobby they'll give you great
00:46:01.700 advice and they have thousands many thousands of certified customers call once again 845 war room
00:46:10.020 and when you speak to them tell them that steve bannon's war room sent you okay so ralph we have
00:46:18.900 i think what five minutes of this uh show left let's go to our final article today this is from
00:46:25.340 Brussels signal and the European Court of Human Rights that great bastion as it
00:46:32.400 presents itself certainly him in continental Europe of of safeguard of
00:46:38.960 our human rights which in court it caught you know to sign the European
00:46:44.020 Convention you have to be a signature of that knife you want to be in the
00:46:47.140 European Union but its signatures expand beyond the EU itself here was a
00:46:53.500 a case brought by Georgia where, that's the country, not Georgia Maloney, that's the East
00:47:03.820 European country, they basically said that this guy who had criticised his local man
00:47:11.720 Tbilisi and the police officers, they sued him and he fought back and appealed, said
00:47:18.800 that he had a right to free speech, which apparently is enshrined in Article 10 of the European Convention of Human Rights.
00:47:25.520 But the court said, no, that doesn't protect your free speech on these things.
00:47:32.880 Ralph, I know we've got only a few minutes left.
00:47:35.560 Tell me again, right, because my view on this, looking at the way the European Union is going,
00:47:41.440 There is an attempt to suppress our ability to communicate either publicly on social media or send DMs to one another.
00:47:51.520 The European Commission for some time has been lobbying America as well to give access codes.
00:48:00.020 They can put down these gag orders and suppression orders on the social networks.
00:48:06.340 And it's so nefarious and so duplicitous that the social networks aren't even allowed to say publicly when they've received these court orders.
00:48:21.420 Tell us what you guys at Brussels Signal wrote about this case specifically.
00:48:30.160 I mean, this is not just very clear.
00:48:32.120 This is not just an attempt.
00:48:34.780 We see it now happening, as the article outlines quite nicely, also happening on the European
00:48:38.780 level. But in Germany, for example, during the COVID crisis, they sneakily passed a law,
00:48:44.300 and that law rules that if you insult the politician, it has to be treated harder.
00:48:49.340 It's basically like a hate crime in the United States, right? If you commit a crime and there's
00:48:52.780 a hate element to it, you're going to be punished harder. And they have the same thing now in
00:48:56.540 Germany. When you insult the politician, you're going to be punished harder than if you insult
00:49:01.100 a regular citizen. You have the same in Austria. Not as much, but you have similar things in the
00:49:06.140 UK. So these are not just attempts. Angela Merkel, who got some weird medal in the European Union
00:49:11.680 just yesterday, where she said the biggest danger is social media and the information on the
00:49:17.200 internet. So these are not just attempts. This is happening as we speak. There is an attempt to
00:49:22.300 clamp down any criticism on the current ruling class. And we live in these absurd times. So I
00:49:28.640 would say at the moment, we are in a revolutionary period, but it's not the people revolting against
00:49:34.480 the rulers. It's actually the ruling class revolting against the people, which is a very,
00:49:38.860 very odd situation. It's only going to get worse. And it always comes, and I have to hand it to
00:49:42.640 them. That's brilliant. It always comes under the guise of human rights. I mean, who would be against
00:49:48.360 human rights? The use of the term is a brilliant rhetorical trick because you say, oh, you don't
00:49:54.800 want these laws so are you against human rights and that's the game they're playing and i'm afraid
00:49:58.980 that they're going to be more successful in the years to come because they know that looking at
00:50:02.620 the polls their time is up so what they try will try to do is to make sure that these new political
00:50:07.760 movements will not have or cannot translate their appeal into political power because it will be
00:50:13.900 very hard for them to communicate with their voters and just very quickly you you do do you
00:50:20.800 do think that this is part of the wide and nefarious plot to suppress our ability to communicate
00:50:26.720 and diffuse rebellious ideas on social media, right? Because there was a social media aspect
00:50:32.860 to this case, wasn't there? Absolutely. And I just want to add, this is not just a plot. I
00:50:39.380 sometimes use that language myself, so I'm not criticizing you, Ben. But they do it out in the
00:50:44.340 open, right? You have politicians standing out on a podium and say, we have to stop alternative
00:50:50.240 media we have to ban you know people receiving for example news from the united states because
00:50:55.320 it's all fake news so this is happening out in the open so usually i thought the conspiracy
00:51:00.060 something that happens in the background right it's you know it's smoke-filled rooms where shady
00:51:05.120 deals are being made but no no no not at all they come down on everyone with the full force of the
00:51:10.120 law um this is something we say on the warm all the time this is not a conspiracy theory
00:51:17.680 is in your face look like a minute it's in your face it's not a plot it's not a conspiracy theory
00:51:24.080 this is open broad daylight in your face ralph just give me uh one minute as we as we run towards
00:51:32.040 the end of the show tell me very quickly about brussels signal and remix where do people go
00:51:36.860 to to learn more about the coverage that you have out which is absolutely superb um on social media

00:52:53.320 Everyone's focused on how the conflict in the Middle East is raising oil prices.
00:52:57.020 But there's another grim reality to this contention.
00:53:01.520 Oil isn't the only resource being constrained.
00:53:03.920 About one third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region.
00:53:08.800 And with spring planting season on top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm
00:53:13.300 with some saying they can't afford to plant their fields.
00:53:16.660 When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know what comes next.
00:53:21.040 Higher food prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying.
00:53:26.140 That's why having an emergency food supply at home makes so much sense.
