00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:07.700 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.
00:00:19.120 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:00:20.580 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:22.320 but you're not going to stop it.
00:00:23.240 It's going to happen.
00:00:24.500 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.
00:00:44.780 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:00:48.060 Thursday 28th of May, Anno Domini, 2026, Harnwell here at the helm on Steve Bannon's
00:01:03.620 War Room. Folks, I had so much response from the show that we did last Thursday. People
00:01:09.920 reaching out, sending me messages on Getter and what have you. Some people texting me
00:01:16.420 directly so much feedback from that show you might remember that uh just to wheel back a little bit
00:01:22.040 steve and i announced on the morning show last thursday that we're going to be doing a new
00:01:26.280 concept show that started that evening with in collaboration with remix news and brussels signal
00:01:34.620 to fantastic news websites within the publishing house of Remedia News.
00:01:44.380 Just to dig in a little more detail on what's going here in continental Europe,
00:01:51.600 because we're supposedly here.
00:01:53.020 You will hear it said in the United States that we are your leading ally in the world,
00:01:57.380 and you need to know how society and culture is degenerating so rapidly here on continental Europe.
00:02:04.620 It is absolutely clear that we're not in a position to be of any substantial use to the United States in its existential fight for Western civilization.
00:02:16.820 And as I've said since I've been on this show five years ago, our vocation, I think, as Europeans on the world stage is to speak to those nations that haven't yet fully gone down the path that we have walked.
00:02:29.920 to say this is what happens don't follow us don't listen to the siren lies being told to you by your
00:02:38.960 center left and center right mainstream elites um there was such a great article in remix i put it
00:02:47.560 out on getter a couple of days ago um then if you'd be so kind just to pop that up on the screen
00:02:54.240 there we go this is a family show so i know there are parents with kids running around i'm not even
00:02:59.420 going to read the headline out but you can read it for yourself this is as we said last as we 0.73
00:03:07.020 opened last thursday's show with the sexual molestation and assault of the former miss
00:03:14.900 france by a third world invader and we made the point on the show that that's really a metaphor
00:03:20.380 for the wider crisis in continental europe same same sort of thing going on here in that this
00:03:27.480 incident, what took place
00:03:29.760 in Brussels, which is the capital
00:03:31.880 capital of Belgium, but it's
00:03:33.820 more importantly than that
00:03:35.740 it's the capital, the administrative
00:03:37.640 capital of
00:03:38.840 the European
00:03:40.200 Union, you've got the European Parliament there
00:03:43.500 the European Commission
00:03:44.360 and what have you
00:03:47.300 and that is very much the heart, along with
00:03:49.640 to a lesser degree Strasbourg
00:03:51.240 but it's Brussels
00:03:53.340 and there in the very heart of
00:03:55.680 the beast
00:03:56.360 we saw that this Belgian lady was enjoying the sun by herself and you read the headline of what 0.97
00:04:05.360 happened to her thanks to a third world invader enjoying her disrupting her peace and quiet we
00:04:16.760 can say that she was unexpectedly culturally enriched while she was there in Brussels
00:04:23.520 joining the sun well so ralph shulhammer the senior correspondent at both remix news and
00:04:33.980 brussels signal joins me once again here on the war room ralph thanks um for for coming back on
00:04:42.220 we've got a selection of stories for you today folks um really i think there's a narrative theme
00:04:49.500 which you'll guess what this is um and it's all consequences of the invasion and the performative
00:04:56.300 resistance from the mainstream political establishment and perhaps action
00:05:02.340 uh from the um from the populist nationalist iterations country by country we've really got
00:05:10.280 forced four illustrations for you today of um betrayal of national betrayal let's start off
00:05:17.560 in my beloved homeland the uk um brussels signal wrote quite a good article i think this week
00:05:30.600 picking up a center for social justice report now the the the csj is a think tank founded by
00:05:39.400 in duncan smith say in duncan smith former leader of the conservative party probably one of the
00:05:46.040 the better ones, who's a Catholic, IDS is a Catholic, and he created this, put together
00:05:56.020 this think tank, probably the leader most in the Thatcherite mould, and it's coming
00:06:03.200 out with some pretty good research. Don't be put off, folks, by its left-leaning name.
00:06:08.960 Here they've tackled, they really put both hands on the third rail in British politics, Ralph Shulhamer. Here's this report which says that in the UK for every one under 25 year old Brit that has been employed, I think these statistics is an average going back to 2020 or something.
00:06:30.960 everyone under 25 year old Brit 27 invaders have got a job that's a ratio of
00:06:43.020 1 to 27 and these are invaders from outside of the European Union it's
00:06:48.300 important to underline that statistic if we were to include regular migrants
00:06:54.360 from within the EU that obviously let that ratio is going to widen even
00:06:59.080 further ralph tell me the story here and your and your analysis on it what's going on in the uk
00:07:04.740 the actual decimation of the of the youth opportunity of employment now i think it's
00:07:10.900 basically touching at 1 million under 25 year olds not in employment education or training
00:07:16.840 neat as it's called in english and now we can see why right well this has been an issue all over
00:07:24.620 europe for quite a while at the one hand you have very high youth unemployment rates but at the same
00:07:28.700 time you've been told that you need mass migration to fill the unemployment gap.
00:07:32.840 But the truth is, again, a phenomenon that is not unfamiliar to our American viewers
00:07:38.600 and listeners, that there is an economic interest in having cheap migrant labor. 0.56
00:07:43.800 It's basically the importation of a new underclass.
00:07:47.340 There was a, for those of who you're interested, there was a somewhat funny segment with Chris
00:07:52.640 Rufo and Richard Hanania, where they talked about immigration.
00:07:56.520 and Richard Hanania, you know, those of you who are a lot on X will know who he is.
00:08:00.800 And he said, oh, my God, it was terrible.
00:08:03.100 When ICE came to California, you couldn't find a gardener.
00:08:06.760 And this is exactly this kind of attitude that you see here.
00:08:11.160 That wasn't a joke.
00:08:14.140 That wasn't being ironic.
00:08:14.980 No, no, no.
00:08:15.960 No, he was serious.
00:08:18.160 He was deadly serious about this.
00:08:20.060 And it's the same in Europe.
00:08:21.060 You want food, you know, cheap foods delivery guys and whatever it is.
00:08:26.940 And by the way, what is really frustrating about this is that, of course, a lot of this is taking place in a way that these people then are going to be locked in in these, quote unquote, professions.
00:08:36.560 What we tend to forget, and this is the real problem for me with young people. 0.63
00:08:40.380 So you get used to being employed.
00:08:42.960 I think about this in your own youth band, particularly for those who grew up in the United States.
00:08:47.340 You know, you have paperboy.
00:08:48.880 You open your first lemonade stand.
00:08:50.680 You help out at the burger shack.
00:08:54.380 The idea is not that you will forever run a lemonade stand,
00:08:57.720 that you will forever have a paper route,
00:08:59.600 but the idea is that you get familiar with what it means to work.
00:09:04.780 And what we have done nowadays,
00:09:06.180 or kind of this absurd vision that many have,
00:09:08.420 I think in Europe and the United States,
00:09:10.160 that, oh, we have like this migrant underclass for manual labor, 1.00
00:09:15.140 and then we have this other, 0.99
00:09:17.140 This pseudo-intellectual class of people that just go to school, university, and then some administrative, bureaucratic, what David Graeber, the great anthropologist would have called bullshit jobs, you know, as being the, I don't know, the gender quota director at some federal ministry.
00:09:34.580 But nobody really has the experience anymore of what it means to do manual labor.
00:09:39.320 And that's a real problem, by the way.
00:09:41.120 I'm quite serious.
00:09:41.920 I'm sure that many of you are familiar with Michael Rowe and this idea that it is very healthy, especially for young men, to have that experience.
00:09:49.220 And we kind of take that experience away from many of them.
00:09:53.380 It's funny with the publication earlier on this week of Magnifica Humanitas, the encyclical by the Pope talking about the dignity of work.
00:10:04.660 But that's a dignity of work that is denied to the nation's indigenous youth. 0.54
00:10:09.840 It's as if they're invisible to all the virtue signalling class.
00:10:19.000 Your own people, your own nation's youth and vulnerable are absolutely invisible.
00:10:23.920 Because there are no virtue signalling points to be picked up in addressing their needs.
00:10:28.440 You get the virtue signalling points talking about invaders, their kids, nothing for the homegrown indigenous youth.
00:10:37.720 of all, by the way, races and backgrounds.
00:10:41.900 Well, in this...
00:10:43.720 Go ahead.
00:10:46.080 Just real quick.
00:10:47.000 I mean, in this case,
00:10:48.020 from the big business perspective,
00:10:51.060 I think you cannot even use the term invaders.
00:10:53.200 In a sense, they're invitees.
00:10:55.160 But because what's, of course, happening
00:10:56.600 is that then the argument is,
00:10:58.180 well, those people have a job,
00:10:59.400 so you cannot remigrate them
00:11:00.960 because after all, they're working.
00:11:02.540 So this becomes a bit of a self-reinforcing cycle
00:11:07.480 We have to be honest about this, and it's the same in the U.S., that members, not all of them, but members of the industry, the chambers of commerce and similar institutions existing in Europe as well, were behind this.
00:11:22.360 I mean, this idea that you can have a forever imported underclass in order to have some supposedly competitive advantage is something that has been promoted, whether it's the Cato Institute and other libertarian institutions and ideas for quite a long time.
00:11:37.380 And this is one of the reasons why both the United States and Europe find itself in the situation in which we are.
00:11:44.440 I just want to pick up here on one point in the Brussels Signal article here.
00:11:50.840 And by the way, like last week, folks, when we push these out on social media, we're going to put in the articles in with each of these clips.
00:11:58.440 They strongly recommend you to go and read these things.
00:12:02.160 We're only giving a quick survey of these things here, that the articles do cover these things.
00:12:07.380 in more detail. So my last takeaway on this is something I want to pick up and mention
00:12:11.780 later on in the show, is that the data for this ratio, the 1 in 27 ratio, which is really,
00:12:18.980 it's a simple headline, but it's a summation, a distillation of the actual betrayal that's
00:12:26.280 taken place in the UK. The data here was taken from the HM, His Majesty's Revenue and Customs,
00:12:36.680 That's the UK version of the IRS payroll data.
00:12:43.060 So what's taking place in the black market is obviously going to widen those statistics even more.
00:12:49.180 But I want to make this point, and I might make this as we go through, Ralph, and discuss the articles for today's show.
00:12:57.360 But it would seem to me that populist nationalist parties, either like reform or restore in the UK, the AFD in Germany, the Fratelli d'Italia here in Italy, or indeed even the League.
00:13:13.360 um all of you know wherever in europe if these parties really wanted and we're going to be
00:13:21.560 discussing the the denaturalization issue later on in in this show but if they really wanted to
00:13:27.040 tackle this issue seriously i would simply do it on this basis ralph everybody in whichever country
00:13:34.000 let me talk about italy here right you're you're in germany right no you're in brussels right
00:13:38.680 i'm in austria you're in austria okay um whichever country you are anybody any
00:13:47.480 person in the country who with the relevant department for paying taxes in that country
00:13:58.400 if you demonstrate a tax contribution which is less than the median average of that nation out
00:14:08.100 You've got three months. Pack your bags and go. Because you're dragging wages down, right? And you're hitting the most vulnerable class of employment, the hardest, right? Then successively, year by year, you can actually raise that threshold until you're only having people who are making serious contributions to the economic life, the cultural life and economic productivity of the country.
00:14:35.300 But that's the first thing you can do. Anybody in the country who has income tax receipts of less than the median average of that nation. Thank you for your presence here in this nation. But it's now time for you to leave.
00:14:52.380 Ralph, let me give a quick shout-out for our sponsor, and then I'll come back to you for your feedback, and we'll continue going through the articles today.
00:15:03.200 Now, I did mention yesterday's show that I'd seen a recent article, I think it was the St. Louis Fed, that had indicated that America's debt level now isn't 100% of its GDP, it's actually 120% of its GDP.
00:15:27.380 These are stratospheric levels of debt, and in America alone, the interest repayment, the servicing, not paying down the principal, the debt, just servicing the interest on that debt.
00:15:43.020 In America, every day is $3 billion, that's money that could have been spent on hospital roads, what have you, but it's being spent simply servicing the debt.
00:15:54.180 as interest rates will start to rise that is I think a reasonable assumption they're not
00:16:02.580 guaranteed the debt repayments going to increase there is no way Congress is going to be able to
00:16:07.500 balance the budget and therefore it will try to print its way out of this crisis therefore
00:16:14.120 the point behind this my dear Warren Posse is that your your savings are going to be eaten away
00:16:21.500 by an inflationary orgy if you want to get your cash savings out of your checking account and
00:16:34.180 into something that is going to survive this then the for 5,000 years the commodity of choice
00:16:42.600 mankind in human history has been gold and that is why up until tomorrow I think the deadline runs
00:16:49.680 out um so get that text in now i'll give you the number right now but tomorrow up until tomorrow
00:16:56.800 birch gold group is giving a ten thousand dollar rebate on qualifying purchases to first time gold
00:17:07.500 buyers ten thousand dollar rebate on qualifying purchases you want to find out details whether
00:17:16.940 whether you qualify for that rebate or just discuss you want your options are
00:17:24.740 about diversifying into a tax sheltered IRA in physical gold converting perhaps
00:17:33.920 your existing IRA or 401k then speaks of Philip Patrick and his team this is
00:17:40.760 their job this is their day job there they will give advice they will even
00:17:45.800 offer you a free information kit on how to diversify phone call um that will just cost
00:17:52.460 you the time to get yourself informed with no obligations text bannon to b a to nine eight
00:18:00.060 nine eight nine eight that's bannon b a double n o n to nine eight nine eight nine eight get that
00:18:06.860 text in today as i say that ten thousand dollar rebate finishes tomorrow speak to philip patrick
00:18:14.060 and his team there at Birchgold, they are awaiting your call. Text Bannon 989898.
00:18:20.940 Ralph Schulhammer, before I move on now to Germany, did you want to respond to something
00:18:29.980 about my suggestion about repatriating even legal residents back to their countries of
00:18:40.600 origin if their contributions to the economic life of the country are below a certain threshold
00:18:46.600 well maybe two points i mean one is and this is i would argue a weakness a bit on part of of the
00:18:53.380 populist nationalist or nationalist populist movement is that they have to find an approach
00:18:58.320 to economic policy that is neither libertarian nor socialist i mean i i have an idea i would
00:19:04.420 call it industrialism and we can maybe at some point make an entire segment on this i think
00:19:08.460 there is a so-called third way that would fit quite nicely with both our political and cultural
00:19:13.700 ideology that could be reflected in the economy. But the second point is, of course, if we take
00:19:19.040 your proposal, and I think it's a quite interesting one, one then has to be honest to the people and
00:19:23.800 say, well, certain things, at least for some time, will be more expensive. I mean, this has to be
00:19:29.100 absolutely clear that if you have then the pizza delivery and whatever it is done by an English
00:19:35.080 guy, which I'm fine, I'm for this, don't get me wrong. But of course, it also means that it will
00:19:40.900 cost more. So this is something I think we have to be honest. As you said, if you say, because
00:19:45.940 basically what you propose, which is quite interesting, but it's an interesting way to
00:19:50.240 get to a new form of minimum wage. You basically say that somebody's in the country, they don't
00:19:54.500 get a certain income to have to leave the country. So then that job is then picked up by somebody
00:19:58.720 within the country, which is, again, great stuff. But of course, it also then runs the risk that
00:20:03.560 you drive up wages, which, by the way, is a good thing, because you drive wages up in the low
00:20:07.540 income segment, which is a good thing. But we have to be honest about this. I think this is
00:20:14.080 a bit of a problem we see in Italy, but I think we see it also in the United States, that if you
00:20:18.840 want to transform the economy, there is the possibility that at least temporarily, or in
00:20:24.620 certain areas, you have a price increase. But to be quite honest, this is always my argument,
00:20:28.360 if on the other hand i educate a generation in you know um in being used to being employed
00:20:37.760 in industrial industrialistness right all these kind of if can all if i get all these positive
00:20:43.040 side effects i might be happy to pay one or two euros more for my pizza delivery but i think we
00:20:48.340 just have to be honest about this right this is this is my key point sure listen let's know we're
00:20:53.580 mature here on the war room where adults i would absolutely have that conversation i had that
00:20:58.380 conversation before breakfast lunch and dinner every day what you just said there is not the bug
00:21:03.320 that's the feature of this proposal but i will absolutely you know i don't want to see people
00:21:09.360 at the in the bottom quintile of the um of the social ladder receiving ever more generous
00:21:16.960 benefits paid out of the taxes of people who do have a job right that's just
00:21:22.900 folly what I do want to see them is it is using their political muscle to on
00:21:28.420 the on the open labor market demand higher wages for themselves and that is
00:21:34.660 a win-win that's that's what that's what you do picking the low-hanging fruit
00:21:39.720 when you just kick out of the country people who are taking those who are 1.00
00:21:44.560 taking jobs, kick them out and let your own indigenous population start to claw its way back 1.00
00:21:51.900 into the labour market. And yeah, that, you know, you said labour at the bottom there, 1.00
00:21:57.720 labour, then of course you had what's called in economic differentials, that would have a knock-on
00:22:03.160 effect of the labour market. Bring it on, that's beautiful. You start at the bottom and let people
00:22:08.300 at the bottom rung start to earn more money again and that is you know that that is i think absolutely
00:22:14.940 perfect let's have that debate be honest um but that's the kind of inflation i could absolutely
00:22:19.900 live with if it is first and foremost and um and besides look inflation you're you're in vienna
00:22:26.220 right let me quote austrian school economics 101 inflation is always and everywhere a monetary
00:22:34.780 phenomenon it's not a price phenomenon if people are earning more in terms of
00:22:41.800 income that is not in and of itself inflationary look as you say we'll come
00:22:47.740 back and pick up on that in the remaining moments of this segment what
00:22:55.400 do you do if you are a left-wing party in Germany when most of your working
00:23:01.840 class support has peeled off to the AFD. Well, you look with salivating jaws at the 14 million
00:23:14.560 invaders that are in your country and say, let's give them the vote. That is exactly what has 0.98
00:23:22.400 happened uh i think it's the dd linker left-wing german party to the left of the the the sdp
00:23:30.660 ralph what's the what's the what's there what's the reasoning behind this what uh this proposal
00:23:36.640 which seems to me to be insane but they must have some justification behind it what is that
00:23:42.020 justification well cheap cheap labor and cheap voters what what else what what what more could
00:23:48.020 you could you ask for i mean it's it's precisely the same phenomenon we've just been discussing
00:23:52.140 in the realm of the economy, in the realm of politics.
00:23:55.460 As you correctly pointed out, you say,
00:23:57.540 we don't give jobs to our own youth, we give it to somebody else,
00:24:00.820 and now we don't accept whatever our people vote for,
00:24:05.020 we just find somebody else to vote for us.
00:24:07.540 I mean, there was this old joke by the playwright Bert Brecht,
00:24:10.840 who said in the 1950s, if things get really worse,
00:24:14.920 he meant it jokingly, ironically, he said,
00:24:18.340 then the state has to dissolve the people and elect a new one.
00:24:22.820 He meant it as a joke, but this is pretty much where we are,
00:24:25.320 because this is this proposal by that party, right?
00:24:27.820 This is nothing else, because we're talking about potentially 14 million voters here.
00:24:32.560 Because don't forget, out of the 18 million Germans, not everybody is of voting age.
00:24:36.360 So we're talking here of a potential pool of voters that is absolutely significant.
00:24:41.320 I think the current number of AFD voters, so the 26%, that is 13 million votes.
00:24:48.640 So those 14 million potentially would have the potential to make whoever they're going to vote for the strongest party in Germany.
00:24:58.580 Look, we've got two minutes before we go to the break.
00:25:01.500 Folks, this is the article.
00:25:04.300 The first one was Brussels Signal.
00:25:05.980 This one we're talking about now is Remix.
00:25:07.860 As I say, we'll put out the link.
00:25:09.140 there is something here
00:25:11.680 in this article which
00:25:13.540 is an interesting aside which I had never
00:25:15.720 noticed before but many of
00:25:17.860 these invaders who are coming in
00:25:19.680 from third world countries
00:25:21.140 are broadly socially
00:25:23.760 conservative and vote conservative
00:25:25.580 in their own countries and then they come
00:25:27.820 into continental Europe and they suddenly
00:25:29.660 start voting left wing
00:25:30.900 which is, you know, it's true
00:25:33.160 and I never realised it before, what is the
00:25:35.700 thesis behind that mechanism?
00:25:38.720 Well, one thing is, yeah, I mean, out of these 14 million,
00:25:42.480 these are not just third-world immigrants, right?
00:25:45.080 I mean, these are Austrians, these are French,
00:25:47.100 these are other people as well.
00:25:48.700 And the other thing is pretty clear, well,
00:25:50.000 because those who offer you the most financial
00:25:52.640 and economic incentives you're going to vote for,
00:25:54.620 they are conservative in a non-European sense. 0.86
00:25:57.640 You can still be a Muslim and get welfare from the German state. 0.82
00:26:00.680 There is no, I don't see any contradiction there. 0.96
00:26:02.420 um yeah i mean the thesis as the article lays out is basically people the people who are coming into
00:26:11.480 to europe no matter what their private political or religious views are they're coming in
00:26:16.540 fundamentally for the um for the social structure the social welfare system uh and they want to
00:26:23.080 bring in their friends and family well of course it's the left-wing political parties in continental
00:26:27.580 Europe that are most pushing towards social welfare and of course that are most open to
00:26:33.280 um to allowing um invaders to bring in their friends and family as well so that's what turns 0.81
00:26:40.340 people that are sort of conservative voters at home into left-wing voters here in continental
00:26:46.180 Europe. Folks don't go away back with Ralph Shoalhammer more Hammer time here on the
00:26:52.460 war room in just two minutes after this quick commercial break.
00:27:00.360 The dollar's convertibility into gold ended in 1971. Gold was fixed at $35 an ounce.
00:27:08.740 Well, fast forward to today, and the U.S. dollar has lost over 85% of its purchasing power. Gold,
00:27:15.900 on the other hand, is increased in value by over 12,000%. That's why central banks are
00:27:22.420 buying gold at record levels. That's why major firms like Vanguard and BlackRide hold significant
00:27:28.360 positions in gold. And that's why I encourage you to consider diversifying your savings with

00:28:57.620 Welcome back.
00:28:58.740 Well, the news really has dominated, I think, for the last sort of 10 days here in Italy.
00:29:04.960 is this issue this story and of of the car I was a massacre because I think
00:29:14.460 that it results not in deaths but in amputations limbs being amputated in
00:29:20.740 Modena in Emilia in North Central Italy and absolutely should have been
00:29:30.820 dominating the news cycle here. There has been a response from Matteo Salvini,
00:29:40.900 Deputy Prime Minister under Giorgia Maloney, different parties, and Salvini
00:29:48.340 has introduced legislation that will
00:29:54.840 make it easier to strip invaders of their citizenship and send them back that
00:30:03.060 is currently on the statute book but it's quite limited in scope I think it's
00:30:08.940 based around terrorism or organized crime sort of thing and Salvini wants to
00:30:14.880 widen it. Interestingly the the interior minister here in Italy has come out I
00:30:25.560 think too soon and he said that this isn't an issue of terrorism. The guy who
00:30:36.280 was driving the car into the crowd who then after running people over got out
00:30:41.520 of the car with his knife and started stabbing people he said you Christian 1.00
00:30:48.420 bastards you and your Jesus I'll burn him that was said by Salim Salim 1.00
00:30:56.880 Qudri of Moroccan descent born in Italy in North Italy Bergamo where I will be 1.00
00:31:05.220 two weeks time um but born born in italy uh ralph schoelhammer tell me uh about this italian
00:31:19.060 initiative because i know i think and i just firmly put the the league the lager in the um
00:31:26.340 in the most hard line of the the governing coalition between the uh the brothers of italy
00:31:34.500 and Forza Italia, which is like the Christian Democrat grouping founded by Silvio Berlusconi.
00:31:42.360 That's the three-way government.
00:31:44.400 But I think this initiative puts the league back in the most hardline anti-invasion position.
00:31:54.860 Is this a serious proposal or is it more performative theatrics?
00:32:01.340 no i think it's a very serious proposal and by the way this kind of flew a little bit under the
00:32:06.720 radar over the last couple of of weeks and months i mean there have been similar proposals i think
00:32:10.960 in sweden and also in denmark that people can be stripped retractively of their citizenship and i
00:32:16.460 think that's an absolutely fine proposal i mean if you give somebody citizenship by the passport of
00:32:21.580 your country that's more than a piece of paper that's more than you know just just some some
00:32:25.980 random document, it is a down payment, if you want, of trust of your new host society.
00:32:33.660 And if you abuse this trust, right, if you show yourself, so to speak, not worthy of it,
00:32:38.380 I think any country should have the right to revoke it. I mean, it's very similar to the
00:32:42.500 debates in the United States about birthright citizenship, right? The ease with which Western
00:32:48.660 countries, not all of them, but many, have started handing out citizenship, I think is
00:32:52.780 completely ridiculous there's this argument that many make and i can already hear it in the comments
00:32:57.100 maybe not among your viewers and listeners but oh citizenship is something sacred and i agree but 0.94
00:33:02.000 that's the point if it is sacred then treat it as if it is sacred and don't give it away like you
00:33:07.480 know lollipops at the at the pediatrician and that's a little bit the divergence or the dilemma
00:33:12.540 we have you cannot simultaneously say it is like the highest honor it's this most sacred thing but
00:33:18.120 they also say oh if somebody crosses the the border five years later you just hand them the
00:33:22.120 citizenship. And by the way, in Germany, they had something, it sounds much cooler in German,
00:33:27.280 but they had something they called like turbo citizenship, meaning that after three years,
00:33:31.560 you could get citizenship. This is completely absurd. Nobody can become a German after three
00:33:36.340 years. Maybe somebody from Switzerland, maybe me who's Austrian, maybe we can pull it off in three 0.70
00:33:40.860 years. But somebody from Somalia will become German in three years. It's ridiculous. And you 0.55
00:33:45.180 see it again in the United States, look at Minnesota, look at Ohio. You can have people
00:33:49.000 here for two, three generations, and they don't become fully American, so it's almost 0.97
00:33:52.540 impossible to do it in three years, especially given those numbers. 1.00
00:33:55.820 If you have one guy from, let's say, Afghanistan comes to the United States, and he then goes 0.97
00:34:01.100 to a small town in Iowa, and he's the one Afghan guy, and he lives there for 20 years,
00:34:05.520 you know what?
00:34:06.300 I think that guy might actually be fairly American or Iowan, if you want.
00:34:11.120 But once you have a situation where you have parallel societies, they are not really part
00:34:16.280 of your society, so why should they have your citizenship?
00:34:18.680 I think, you know, what Salvini is trying to do here is a debate that is long overdue, and I wish him the best of luck.
00:34:25.820 You make a good point, Ned, that we have two different philosophies sharing the same word here.
00:34:33.140 Because to nationalists, to populist nationalists, citizenship is sacred.
00:34:40.720 but it's the same word used by our sociopathic overlords and for them it's simply an administrative
00:34:51.940 act effectively like stamping a brand on a cow in a cattle ranch right and I would say
00:35:01.260 and I think this is what you were saying as well Ralph
00:35:04.240 let's play them at their own game
00:35:09.880 if they think it's simply an administrative act
00:35:13.280 something that they can give
00:35:14.700 then don't treat it as an irrevocable administrative act
00:35:18.980 any administrative act can be rescinded
00:35:22.820 and again to come back to the point I was mentioning
00:35:25.840 in the first half of the show
00:35:29.800 let it not just be about
00:35:32.100 absolute abject criminality and terrorist acts let's go through the books and see who isn't
00:35:39.580 contributing to the life of the country and whether they're simply present illegally or
00:35:47.080 whether they're there with residents official residents or whether they've even got citizenship
00:35:52.220 go through the book and if they haven't been contributing then say thank you very much for
00:35:56.800 presence here but it is now time for you to leave listen and i mean this is the same look at something
00:36:03.560 like marriage right if nobody in a happy marriage would ever say well this is just a piece of paper
00:36:08.760 because the piece of paper signifies something but it's a symbol of something much deeper
00:36:12.880 and for me citizenship is the same thing it is a marriage might be a strong term but you know what
00:36:18.020 i mean it's got it's a commitment from an individual to a nation to a country to its values
00:36:23.680 to its culture and if this is just being pretended right if this is abused i mean again we have the
00:36:29.600 same in in law as well if you cheat on your wife several times and she wants a divorce i guess
00:36:34.720 everybody would say you know what she has a point and i think for me citizenship is at least those
00:36:39.660 who i mean if you're born with citizenship that's a different issue but it's the same with citizenship
00:36:43.760 in a sense that if somebody gets it and they quote unquote cheat on their new country so to speak
00:36:48.700 why should you not revoke their citizenship it's the same thing as getting a divorce
00:36:52.180 firstly firstly i think it's time you know i mentioned earlier that you put your
00:36:57.680 that remix and bustle signal um we're putting both hands on the third rail here this really is
00:37:06.040 a third rail stuff i wouldn't say what you have just said that if you're born because this guy
00:37:11.760 here right um salim el kudry was born in lombardia um in bergamum i i wouldn't say you know if you
00:37:23.020 were born with citizenship that's it you've got that for life i would say no no no no no no no
00:37:29.760 right via um and you make it you know you want to run with some great points today because
00:37:35.780 in Catholic theology, at least, divorce, marriage is an indissoluble sacrament and exists until
00:37:46.640 the death of one of the two participants. And the secular state comes in, and that was
00:37:52.360 the case like for, what, 1950 or so years, right? The modern secular state comes in and
00:37:59.880 said no no no no we will grant the authority to split this indissoluble act in two we will grant
00:38:07.860 we will allow the state will use this authority to grant a divorce even if one of the partners
00:38:13.520 doesn't want it doesn't accept it that is what the modern secular state does to something which
00:38:19.880 before god before jesus christ is indissoluble if you can do that to something to a sacrament
00:38:26.500 then in the ontological hierarchy right the ontological order of being citizenship is lower
00:38:34.660 down than that i'm not saying it's less important you know it's less it's a citizenship i'm not
00:38:38.900 saying citizenship is not important but if the state can dissolve holy matrimony which is
00:38:44.800 indissoluble before god and has and was treated as such for 1950 years then you can certainly
00:38:51.920 do that to the administrative act of granting citizenship. Just one quick
00:38:59.240 thing before we move on. The interior minister Matteo Piantarozzi, as I
00:39:04.340 mentioned, rushed out, tripped over himself to come out and said that this
00:39:10.000 wasn't a terrorist motive. That does actually mean, and if this guy faces
00:39:15.040 charges and is convicted on the back of his um atrocity he won't then be able to be deported
00:39:23.780 anyway even if um he wasn't uh born a citizen in italy because the the the the the the interior
00:39:32.040 minister said no it's so whatever salvini's doing with his legislation uh the interior minister has
00:39:38.800 said this is not a terrorist act so this guy gets to stay which very much reminds me of something
00:39:44.060 else that you were writing about let me just get this article here it is in
00:39:49.940 again this is remix I haven't sent this article through to Denver this is a the
00:39:56.780 this comedian yeah I don't know if you remember this story Ralph but this
00:40:01.180 German comedian Nikita Miller said that the migrant who stabbed him five times
00:40:06.620 This is in Germany. And then fled to Norway. Has since received citizenship. That is in your face on behalf of the government saying to its citizens, we really don't care anything about you. We really treat you with contempt. But above those two things, we want you to know this.
00:40:31.820 right yeah same thing here in italy i think that that maneuver by the interior minister to
00:40:37.800 to rule out so quickly any terrorist motive and i read the quote of what the guy had said i mean
00:40:42.800 it says i think you make i think you can with due respect minister i think you can construct
00:40:47.360 very reasonably the opposite argument on that one um but i personally think that was that was
00:40:53.380 quite pathetic i i don't i don't to be honest i don't even care whether it was terrorism or not
00:40:59.100 As I said before, I mean, my theological knowledge is somewhat shaky, but I stand at least hypothetically with my comparison to marriage. 0.87
00:41:08.700 If you become the citizen of a country, you commit yourself to the continuation of the values, of the traditions, of the things that make a country a country.
00:41:17.720 I would, to give a concrete example, if I see somebody in California, you know, waving a Mexican flag during a demonstration or doing a protest, 0.76
00:41:28.240 For me, that could at least be the beginning or potential grounds for revoking citizenship. 0.90
00:41:33.460 I'm very serious about this.
00:41:34.940 I mean, if you supposedly or if you openly demonstrate your loyalty to a foreign country,
00:41:41.180 well, feel free to become a citizen of that foreign country, but please don't be in my country.
00:41:45.900 Now, there are exceptions to this, to be very clear, because this is always then that the comeback, 1.00
00:41:49.880 no, if you wave an Irish flag during St. Patrick's Day, I don't think you should be stripped of your citizenship.
00:41:55.460 But if you openly, if you, for example, as it happened last summer in Los Angeles, if
00:42:00.000 you burn an American flag while waving a Mexican flag, I think that is a political statement,
00:42:05.320 right? 0.84
00:42:05.500 This is the, you know, if you have a, if you wave a German flag while drinking a beer,
00:42:09.600 you know what I mean, right? 0.93
00:42:11.120 That's fine.
00:42:12.100 People can still cling to their past and their heritage.
00:42:15.180 But overall, I expect the commitment to their new country.
00:42:18.220 And if they openly, you know, do the very opposite, I think that should have consequences.
00:42:23.500 Absolutely.
00:42:24.940 Yeah, absolutely. I think Switzerland has an interesting thing, which I would build on. I wouldn't stop there. But when they're granting citizenship, I think the local town has to agree to that.
00:42:38.300 and that filters out your problem
00:42:41.740 about people coming into Ireland
00:42:45.440 are they going to be waving St. Patrick's
00:42:48.880 are they going to be waving the Irish flag on St. Patrick's day or not
00:42:53.600 who will know that, who will know better to weigh the person
00:42:58.220 whether they are there to integrate, to assimilate
00:43:01.700 to make a productive contribution to the life of that community
00:43:05.660 and the community itself, and the community should absolutely have the voice in this.
00:43:09.840 A quick shout-out once again to Birch Gold, as I mentioned the number before.
00:43:14.860 Text BANNON to 989898 before tomorrow, which is the 29th of May,
00:43:22.140 and ask Philip Patrick and his team whether you qualify for the $10,000 rebate for first-time gold buyers.
00:43:32.640 Put that text in today and just see where it goes.
00:43:36.900 Look, last story now, Ralph Schollhammer, this one back now to Remix News.
00:43:43.120 Interesting survey here using official data in Sweden,
00:43:47.920 which has found that 60% of those identified as being part of Sweden's organised crime
00:44:00.220 had at least one foreign-born parent and 49% of those identified as being part of
00:44:11.360 Sweden's organized crime network had two foreign-born parents and that is
00:44:17.500 quite astonishing when again I learned reading your remix article here that I
00:44:25.720 I think 25% now of Sweden is either first or second generation immigrants.
00:44:32.600 So as high as a proportion as that is, it's still a numerical minority
00:44:38.080 and yet vastly, vastly overrepresented in the crime statistics.
00:44:45.220 Just tell me more about the Swedish situation here.
00:44:50.620 Well, let's begin with the first thing.
00:44:51.780 Anyway, there is this perception very often that in order for a group to really cause
00:44:55.960 social change, they need to be a majority.
00:44:58.280 But that's a completely absurd assessment.
00:45:01.140 And by the way, there are many areas in life where this doesn't count.
00:45:04.520 If I sneeze into your beer, your beer is probably still going to be 95% beer, but you're probably
00:45:10.260 not going to drink it anymore.
00:45:11.740 And it's very similar in this condition.
00:45:13.400 You don't need to become 30%, 40%, 51% a society where people are no longer from the 0.53
00:45:20.560 country of origin to be forever and in many cases probably irrevocably changed.
00:45:26.020 And what makes the Swedish case so interesting?
00:45:28.220 And again, you see similar things with, for example, gang crime, trendy Aragua and others
00:45:32.700 in the United States.
00:45:34.480 If you're in a country and you feel no loyalty to this country, going back to our citizenship
00:45:38.900 conversation, if you feel no affection to that country, you also have no respect for
00:45:43.960 its laws.
00:45:44.960 It makes complete sense because you feel you want to be a stranger in this new homeland
00:45:49.320 And you don't give a damn about what Swedish laws are, 0.62
00:45:51.940 because they are not your laws.
00:45:53.400 You don't identify with them.
00:45:54.760 You don't care about Swedish history.
00:45:56.440 You have no interest in maintaining, quote-unquote, the Swedish model.
00:45:59.480 And this is, of course, then directly translating into crime,
00:46:01.900 because it is not true, as many would say,
00:46:03.860 oh, it's poverty.
00:46:05.180 It is not poverty.
00:46:06.240 We have very clear statistics on this.
00:46:08.040 We have very clear numbers that poverty, with a few exceptions,
00:46:11.700 is not usually a cause for crime.
00:46:13.740 What it is in the Swedish case and others,
00:46:15.360 it's a disrespect towards the new country.
00:46:17.880 And this is at the heart of a lot of this.
00:46:20.740 And by the way, you wouldn't want to know how many of these criminals are also simultaneously in the welfare state.
00:46:26.520 So we have reached conditions, for example, in Denmark, where we have a Danish social scientist put up a statistic on this.
00:46:34.720 We have the most expensive rapists in the world because the same people are overrepresented in rape statistics are also overrepresented when it comes to receiving welfare.
00:46:45.340 This is completely absurd.
00:46:46.380 this is the suicide of a civilization you cannot put it any different you know ralph you did say
00:46:52.040 something uh which in the closing two minutes of the show i just want to quickly respond to and
00:46:58.300 that was um that in talking about the proportion of our population it doesn't need to be a numerical
00:47:05.800 majority to affect serious change if ever you've read william shire's book the the the rise and
00:47:13.040 fall of the Third Reich. This was an American correspondent who was in Berlin
00:47:17.360 about the rise of Nazi Germany. He basically said and cited a statistic which
00:47:24.200 I've never really forgotten. He said that in terms of the faculties, university
00:47:29.560 faculties, they didn't require 100% or even a 50% majority of Nazis on the
00:47:36.380 faculty to go over to the Nazis. You just needed like 30% of a very well honed
00:47:42.040 and intolerant book and the rest, the other 70% would just bow before them
00:47:51.600 and follow the path of least resistance. That's a crucial statistic and
00:47:58.420 Ralph Schumacher illustrates where we are today with this population
00:48:03.100 issue. It is not a case that the invaders are at 50% but they don't need
00:48:08.740 to be to have the kind of political importance they just need to be well
00:48:14.680 organized and well well disciplined about how they manage their numbers and
00:48:18.500 I actually see that taking place right now folks that that is all we have time
