Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 1044： BRUTAL： “Birmingham Antifa” Goons Call Harnwell “A Recently Exhumed corpse” In Savage Attack

00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying

00:00:29.980 regime pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people here's not got a free

00:00:37.780 shot all these networks lying about the people the people have had a belly full of it i know you

00:00:43.460 don't like hearing that i know you try to do everything in the world to stop that but you're

00:00:46.460 not going to stop it it's going to happen and where do people like that go to share the big

00:00:50.860 line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of these people had a conscience ask yourself

00:00:59.420 what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to save my country this country will

00:01:07.280 be saved war room here's your host stephen k bannon

00:01:12.080 friday 3rd of july anno domini 2000 and 26 hornwell here at the helm on steve bannon's

00:01:25.500 war room i'm going to explain what that cold open was but not immediately i've got something else

00:01:31.740 an announcement that i will start the show with today um regular viewers will know that we have

00:01:38.300 on the show quite frequently a beloved figure in the english patriotic nationalist movement ryan

00:01:45.300 bridge co-founder of raise the colors this is the organization that's going around the uk

00:01:52.880 where it's not legally suppressed from doing so and simply raising the English flag,

00:02:00.160 the flag of St. George, for which he has been arrested and suffered all sorts of ignominy.

00:02:09.680 Right. And as befits a patriot, he therefore comes under attack quite regularly on this occasion here.

00:02:18.660 Denny, if you wouldn't mind popping up that graphic on the screen for me, quite an appalling, brutal, savage attack by an organisation calling themselves Birmingham Anti-Fascists.

00:02:34.520 Of course, their tactics are every bit from the fascist playbook.

00:02:42.080 And I just want to say to these guys, because the issue here was that there was somebody in a Raise the Colors T-shirt causing some problems.

00:02:59.760 And Ryan Bridge said he had no idea who this guy was.

00:03:02.480 at an event um and had suggested on the war room that this was simply an infiltrator an antifa

00:03:11.000 infiltrator who'd bought the merch and doing the usual stuff that antifa does and we'll get on

00:03:18.400 to that later in the show as well

00:03:21.880 i just want to say to these guys that call themselves birmingham anti-fascists you guys

00:03:29.500 you know you can do what you want you can sort of insult people however you like but you are losing

00:03:34.080 the battle you are losing public opinion you are losing the people the public in the uk they are

00:03:42.400 slipping away from you no longer subjected to all the nonsense that you guys are constantly pushing

00:03:51.020 out and the change is coming that's what i want to say to you i'm not going to descend down to

00:03:57.740 your abusive level you are losing the battle the invaders who have broken in to great britain

00:04:04.960 are going to leave you are going to see them get back on their little boats and go back over the

00:04:10.740 english channel to france and then beyond to their own country lands that is going to happen

00:04:17.720 um and you can cry about it you can insult people whatever you want to do

00:04:24.400 That was just a message for Birmingham

00:04:27.580 Anti-fascists

00:04:28.660 They gave us a little love tap

00:04:31.760 I thought I would give them one back

00:04:33.120 And if by the way you are interested

00:04:37.460 In legitimately

00:04:39.080 Taking some

00:04:41.720 Merch

00:04:43.240 And supporting Raise the Colors

00:04:45.260 I will, I promise you this

00:04:47.620 One day when we next have Ryan on

00:04:49.820 I will put on an RTC

00:04:51.620 Shirt for that

00:04:53.000 there are few organizations in the uk that i have as much time and respect for as raise the colors

00:04:59.060 go to go to raise the colors official.com um and throw them some help um they're doing great work

00:05:07.540 okay so on with the show what was that we had in the the cold open just before the opening credits

00:05:14.840 that was that took place in the european parliament a couple of weeks ago and the

00:05:21.440 chanting you could hear there were the words send them back and they're talking they just passed a

00:05:29.120 returns bill in the european parliament a huge majority numerical majority and so the right

00:05:38.660 were shouting send them back and the left were shouting shame um what i would say about that

00:05:45.440 And I have my reasons to believe that this is somewhat of a performative exercise, and one of those reasons is that the model that they're claiming they're basing this new returns policy on is based on the model established here in Italy by Prime Minister Giorgio Maloney,

00:06:11.160 known to the war room audience as phony maloney why do we why are we so harsh on her why do we

00:06:19.080 call her phony well this is a perfect example of why she spent over five years 800 billion

00:06:25.080 excuse me 800 million euros that's about 900 million dollars 0.59

00:06:31.840 to send back to centers, return centers in Albania,

00:06:41.000 what the Italian government was saying would be amount to about 36,000 invaders per year.

00:06:49.160 And in five years, and phony maloney this September will reach the landmark

00:06:55.240 of the longest surviving Italian government since the Second World War, 0.98

00:06:59.600 the foundation of the modern republic for those five years in power what does she have to show

00:07:05.120 for that having trumpeted 36 000 per year 111 no not 111 000 111 invaders sent back for the grand

00:07:23.020 total of 800 million euros and you have no idea how many press releases we have had to suffer here

00:07:32.120 in italy as the government was trumpeting its seriousness getting to grips with the invasion

00:07:38.860 issue um that's why i have a slight suspicion that this european parliament initiative is going to

00:07:45.400 produce much with me to discuss that break this down is olivier bow who's the director of

00:07:55.240 communications for order yours again one of my favorite organizations very happy to have spoken

00:08:01.060 there in walsall um a couple of years ago olivier welcome back onto the show uh you guys were quite

00:08:08.460 prophetic actually because um you hosted

00:08:13.760 the polish translation of a report i think back in february that was actually written

00:08:22.600 by our friends over at the matthias corinus college and the mcc that great organization

00:08:29.860 that was uh supported very very very heavily by victor orban when he was in power um they

00:08:36.640 produced a report you hosted the production of the polish version yeah and this was somewhat

00:08:45.520 prophetic um not only anticipating the the vote in the european parliament last week but also

00:08:53.140 i think you went far more structurally into this um and said hang on guys you know this as i say

00:09:00.400 It was a report produced in sort of you were associated with it, with MCC.

00:09:05.480 But I'll say you in this case, because you worked on the, you ever saw the Polish translation and you said, hang on, guys, hang on.

00:09:15.360 Right. Actually, we ought not be looking so much to the European Union, to the European Commission, even to the European Parliament to resolve this issue,

00:09:25.140 because the responsibility here never left the member states can you just say a bit more about

00:09:33.880 that thesis because we're gonna have to break this down and ask if that is the case why have

00:09:39.400 the member states been saying there's nothing we can do why is georgia maloney been saying there's

00:09:43.320 nothing we can do it's all be it's all brussels responsibility tell us a bit about that report

00:09:49.180 and then tell us the reaction to that because you guys have been pushing it quite hard and then tell

00:09:54.620 me what you what you think uh about this return new returns policy as voted on in the european

00:10:01.180 parliament uh about two weeks ago yes uh we our organization the order race institute actually

00:10:08.460 contributed to this report on the merits but it was drafted by the mcc and the hungarian

00:10:15.100 and the Migration Research Institute.

00:10:19.100 So, what we're saying in this report, and it's facts,

00:10:25.100 it's that the migration policies have been taken over by Brussels,

00:10:32.100 by the European Union institutions, by an evolution of the rules,

00:10:39.100 by adopting different directives and regulations,

00:10:43.100 Although in the European treaties, the main responsibility for migration policies rests in the nation-states, which are members of the European Union.

00:10:56.100 Another thing is that the Court of Justice of the European Union often publish issues, rulings, which go further than they should, as per the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

00:11:19.900 An example, as you were talking about, Mrs. Melanie's attempt at sending incoming illegal immigrants to Albania while their asylum requests are processed, is a judgment by the Court of Justice of July last year, so a year ago,

00:11:46.880 saying that any judge, I mean, a court should be allowed to question the list of safe states

00:11:58.780 which are issued by national governments.

00:12:01.940 Now, the member states have never transferred the competencies to the European Union

00:12:08.940 to issue this kind of rulings, but this is what is happening.

00:12:13.660 So the vote on June the 17th in the European Parliament was to give legal grounds which would allow member states again to have those hotspots outside of the European Union.

00:12:35.140 Okay. Okay. Let's synthesize this. So you're saying that in the treatise that established the legal basis of the European Union with its legal personality, migration policy is clearly a member state's prerogative, right?

00:12:53.040 if I understood what you were correcting

00:12:55.760 you then said

00:12:57.240 the

00:12:57.820 court, the high court

00:13:00.580 the court of justice of the European Union

00:13:03.140 which is the

00:13:04.720 court that disciplines

00:13:06.860 effectively the responsibilities

00:13:08.800 and actions of the

00:13:11.140 of

00:13:12.240 not only of the European Union by the way

00:13:14.780 but also the member states

00:13:16.200 that has

00:13:19.020 interpreted more widely

00:13:21.240 the brussels prerogatives giving brussels more of a responsibility um on migration which is

00:13:30.300 somewhat of a judicial usurpation and then you're suggesting that this vote a couple of weeks ago in

00:13:37.560 the european parliament uh was a corrective measure underlining that it's the member

00:13:44.520 States' responsibility to be able to send migrants who have no legal basis being in EU back.

00:13:55.360 It's more of a change of the EU rules to allow the member states to do what Mrs. Meloni was

00:14:05.280 trying to do. So it's not a regulation that's bringing back the responsibility to the member

00:14:12.480 states, but it changes the EU

00:14:14.540 law so that

00:14:16.400 as per EU law, the member states

00:14:18.500 can do what Mrs. Meloni was

00:14:20.420 trying to do.

00:14:22.060 So that can no longer be blocked by Brussels

00:14:24.540 by saying, or presumably

00:14:26.480 the European,

00:14:28.380 the Court of Justice of the European Union.

00:14:30.620 My question to you now is

00:14:32.480 is there any mechanism

00:14:34.400 where the

00:14:35.840 EU CEJ

00:14:38.380 can actually come back and say that

00:14:40.440 this vote in the European Parliament

00:14:42.020 is invalid?

00:14:45.820 It can't do so, but the Court of Justice of the European Union

00:14:51.220 is very creative when issuing rulings.

00:14:56.140 And you also have the European Court of Human Rights,

00:15:01.000 which is the court that rules on the issues that are linked

00:15:06.340 to the European Convention of Human Rights,

00:15:08.440 which is broader than the EU.

00:15:10.740 However, in the European treaties, there is an obligation for EU countries to abide by the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights.

00:15:22.100 So even if you change the rules at the EU level, you still have the problem of the ban on pushbacks and the ban on sending back migrants who are claiming for asylum.

00:15:40.740 And by pushbacks, you mean the expulsion, the sending back of invaders out of the European Union member states.

00:15:51.800 All right. OK. Of course, the European, for our largely American audience, I do want to make these distinctions.

00:16:00.660 They're lost on a lot of Europeans as well.

00:16:03.220 The European Court of Human Rights, whose judgments are binding on European Union member states,

00:16:10.180 That European court in Strasbourg is not a European Union court, even though now to join the European Union, you must be a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights.

00:16:22.160 It's a bit convoluted because, you know, it's a recognition of how the modern European Union came to be.

00:16:31.500 But of course, signing that convention is now obligatory for EU members.

00:16:36.800 And what Olivier is saying is that even if the European Union Court of Justice, which is the highest court in the European Union, like the US Supreme Court, even if that now recognizes the vote that took place in the European Parliament, that says quite clearly what Giorgia Maloney was trying to do in Italy of sending people back to these clearing centers in Albania.

00:17:00.060 Even if the European Union Court of Justice says that is legal, if the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg says, no, no, you can't do that because that's against the invaders' human rights, that would be a ruling that would be binding on European Union member states.

00:17:17.980 That just goes to show what a convoluted mess we are in in the European Union and how our own judiciaries can act against the democratic will of of of of the European peoples.

00:17:38.120 And to some extent, it is I think the responsibility is at the governmental level, because it's at that level that you had these signatories, for example, with the Dublin Treaty, which famously said that migrants can legally claim if they are fleeing war asylum in countries.

00:17:58.440 But that's the next, the most, the nearest stable and safe country that they arrive into after leaving their own war-torn territory.

00:18:09.040 And of course, that's often used as a pretext for allowing people to stay.

00:18:14.300 But of course, they've jumped over so many safe countries from getting from, I don't know, sub-Saharan Africa all the way up into the UK, for example.

00:18:22.760 Well, you know, you've gone through all of the safe countries in Africa and then you've gone through all the countries in the Mediterranean on upwards, which just shows you what a whole hoax is.

00:18:32.000 But there is as much as we can criticise the institutions of the European Union and courts which ostensibly exist to safeguard its citizens' human rights.

00:18:43.560 Fundamentally, Olivier, I put the blame for this situation fair and square at the member states national government level, because it is convenient for them to, for various reasons, to promote pro-invasion policies and say, oh, there's nothing we can do about it because our hands are tied over in Brussels and at the court level.

00:19:07.140 so it's a whole it's a whole mixture but um but for organizations like order your list

00:19:12.240 that that's um that's why something's happening olivic bear with me two minutes i want to come

00:19:17.840 back to you and then allow you to expand on um your thesis up until the end of this segment

00:19:23.240 folks uh there are what seven days precisely left if you want to take advantage of the special offer

00:19:30.660 that philip patrick and his team have put together especially to mark the 250th anniversary

00:19:37.160 of the declaration of independence tomorrow and that is they're giving out a special one ounce

00:19:44.220 commemorative special edition silver round not a coin it's around you know the difference by now

00:19:52.320 and when you've found out the difference perhaps you can tell me that special coin round is being

00:19:59.500 given out with all qualifying purchases of $10,000 or more by Philip Patrick. He's made

00:20:07.900 that available to you. And the background is, as I'm sure anyone who's been following

00:20:13.340 the Financial Times this week, price of gold right now is at an incredibly competitive

00:20:18.740 price. You might want to buy the dip on this one. Last 10 years, one ounce of gold, the

00:20:25.300 spot price has increased from about $1,200 up to $4,500 that's you know just in 10 years similar

00:20:34.820 gains might be anticipated over the next 10 years if you want to get in on that conveyor belt you

00:20:40.240 really ought to be thinking now whilst gold is at its present competitive price if you want to know

00:20:48.140 if you never bought gold before you never bought silver before you want in on the action perhaps

00:20:52.800 you're starting to feel a little bit of FOMO and you want to get there yourself.

00:20:59.620 You want to have some of these gains yourself, but you've never bought gold before.

00:21:03.040 You've always thought buying gold is for other people.

00:21:06.380 But you are interested.

00:21:08.580 You want to know what it means to have a physical IRA in gold.

00:21:13.640 Then speak to Philip Patrick.

00:21:14.820 Just send the text to Bannon, B-A-N-O-N to 989898.

00:21:19.720 and just ask him say hey philip you know seen these ads on the war room i'm not i'm not sure

00:21:25.540 if it's for me but tell me what the deal is um and i'm sure when he's explained it it's going

00:21:31.380 to be a lot more simple the practicalities um than what it might seem if you've never done it

00:21:39.340 before that's the way with anything if you've never done it before it always sounds more difficult

00:21:44.020 to do. Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N to 9-8-9-8-9-8

00:21:48.480 to take advantage of this free special edition

00:21:51.900 commemorative 250 anniversary

00:21:55.840 silver one ounce round before

00:21:59.640 July the 10th. That's when the offer ends. Alright, back to Olivier.

00:22:03.980 So we agree on the thesis here that the responsibility

00:22:07.620 is with the member states. Just tell me then a bit more

00:22:11.700 about how this report that you sort of worked on um uh the translated in to polish released in

00:22:19.660 to huge fanfare lots of uh senior polish politicians like saris volt saris volcy whose

00:22:26.680 name even i recognize and i remember from from when i worked in the european parliament big

00:22:31.320 luminaries there there was an important report just say what the fight just again the findings

00:22:37.200 of this report once again, because this fundamentally, I think, changes the level of the debate,

00:22:43.420 making sure that underlining that if member states want to take with both hands control

00:22:51.940 over the invasion crisis besetting their country, they are fully entitled to do so.

00:22:59.360 Just explain that thesis once again, if you wouldn't mind, Olivier.

00:23:02.380 Yes. First, I'll add that it's also been translated into France by the NCC, which is important news, because it's probably France which is going to change the rules of the game next year, if the election goes as the opinion polls forecast.

00:23:21.820 and you also have to remember

00:23:26.140 additionally to the European Court of Human Rights

00:23:29.080 you also have the Geneva Convention

00:23:32.080 and its 1967 protocol

00:23:34.380 which puts an obligation on all countries

00:23:39.180 to not send back people who ask for asylum

00:23:45.660 especially if they come from war-torn countries

00:23:49.940 for example. So that blocks the whole possibility of member slaves to act. But then you have to 0.59

00:23:55.500 remember that international treaties can be signed, but you can withdraw from them. So there's such

00:24:02.660 a possibility. So what we're saying in our report is we're giving 18 proposals for the

00:24:11.020 renationalization of the migration and asylum policies, so that democratically elected

00:24:19.720 governments will be accountable to their people for their actions. So first, in the EU, you have

00:24:29.000 to introduce, and remember that decisions are taken not only by the European Parliament, but

00:24:34.020 by the Council of the EU, where all the governments are represented, you have to introduce

00:24:40.100 opt-in and opt-out rights like the ones Ireland and Denmark have for immigration policies.

00:24:49.700 Countries which are under migratory pressure and can't get the European Union to actually

00:24:57.220 should de-supply EU law and now it's important to make the distinction the European Union is

00:25:03.460 It's not the United States. It's not a federation.

00:25:06.420 It has no army, no police of its own.

00:25:09.580 So if a country refuses to apply a piece of EU law, nothing is going to happen.

00:25:16.460 This is something governance can do.

00:25:19.520 Just let me give me, because we've got like 90 seconds now until we have the hard out.

00:25:26.360 Just give me 30 seconds. You flagged up the Geneva Convention.

00:25:29.700 One of the speakers at the launch of the Polish version actually came out and said, you know, we need to leave the Geneva Convention. Do you add your voice to that? Is the issue of the Geneva Convention meddling with the rights of invaders so great now that it would make sense for certain member states to withdraw their signature from that document?

00:25:56.200 yes exactly it was extended it was made for uh world war ii refugees when it was signed and then

00:26:06.440 in 1967 it was expanded to all refugees around the world the situation was very different from

00:26:14.120 us so we have to withdraw from this protocol olivier beau um as always very very grateful

00:26:22.680 for you coming on the war in 20 seconds where do people go to learn more about what you're putting

00:26:27.300 out incredible stuff at ordoyoris you go to the ordoyoris.pl website the english version which

00:26:38.220 is available on this website and you write in the search engine taking back control from brussels

00:26:45.920 or re-nationalization of migration policies,

00:26:49.840 and you will find this report with all the proposals there.

00:26:53.720 We also have an infographic which summarizes that.

00:26:57.900 Olivier Beau, thank you very much.

00:26:59.480 Catch up with you soon. God bless.

00:27:00.540 Listen up, patriots.

00:27:01.800 President Trump is dropping a $100 trillion bomb on the globalists.

00:27:07.000 Jerome Powell's term has come to a close,

00:27:10.080 and he's installing a real America First Fed chair

00:27:13.480 who will, according to Jim Rickards, slash rates and supercharge our re-industrialization.

00:27:20.780 This is what one man is calling Trump's gift on America's 250th anniversary,

00:27:26.180 unleashing a historic super cycle in American mining, rare earths, uranium, and gold.

00:30:38.660 Welcome back, folks.

00:30:40.800 Every time we have Aaron Agashahi on this show, it follows the same structure.

00:30:46.780 We get him on and he'll talk about an article he wrote six months or a year ago

00:30:51.800 that lays out exactly the theme that we're talking about today,

00:30:55.440 and that's exactly how we're going to do it today as well.

00:30:58.520 The War Room's prophet.

00:31:00.760 Erwin, welcome back onto the show.

00:31:02.760 So let's start off in reverse order.

00:31:04.420 We'll talk about what's taking place now,

00:31:06.040 and then we'll talk about your article, I think, from December of 2025,

00:31:09.860 which nails it pretty accurately, what's going on here.

00:31:14.280 So Politico, which is by no means a rabid...

00:31:21.800 far-right news site, by no means, owned, of course, now German-owned by Axel Springer,

00:31:31.520 has written this article warning folk effectively about the protests that are expected in Erfurt,

00:31:45.940 in Thuringia

00:31:47.820 tomorrow

00:31:51.460 and Sunday

00:31:53.980 this weekend

00:31:55.280 I think it's the annual conference

00:31:57.900 for the AFD where all the activists

00:32:00.060 get to come together, decide on

00:32:01.820 policy issues collectively

00:32:03.700 decide on personnel issues

00:32:05.500 as well and here's the

00:32:07.620 horrific figure and if

00:32:09.620 Politico is saying this

00:32:11.620 folks

00:32:12.420 one can be reasonably

00:32:15.220 secure that trouble will take place they're expecting 50 000 demonstrators of which

00:32:23.100 in politico's own words 2500 of them are left-wing extremists so this is going to be the far

00:32:32.740 left rabble-rousing antifa shock troops that is that's exactly what's going to be taking place

00:32:42.180 now and these figures are apparently provided by the German secret services

00:32:50.160 and which is unusual now Erin might correct me and explain why this is

00:32:55.920 because these are the same people who are trying the same state organization

00:32:59.940 which is trying to suppress the AFD as a political organization they're now

00:33:04.440 coming out saying there's going to be trouble in Thuringia this weekend and

00:33:10.800 And in fact, the German security apparatus has upgraded its warning and said that what was originally their worst case hypothesis is now the one they're actually expecting to take place.

00:33:30.100 So, Aaron, why don't you just give me five minutes, explain what's taking place in Erfurt this weekend, why it's important, why the protesters are building.

00:33:38.740 And then after that, in the second half of this segment, we're going to digest your article because you actually, in your usual structured way, you actually digest this and draw the relationship, which I've never seen before, between the firewall and the role that these protests have in maintaining that firewall,

00:34:01.900 which is crucially important for anyone understanding the precarious situation that Germany is in now.

00:34:09.000 But first of all, what's expected to happen this weekend and why is Politico and the German secret services coming out

00:34:17.180 and telling everyone to pay attention to this?

00:34:23.020 So what takes place this weekend in Erfurt is a party assembly,

00:34:27.980 which for your audience may be best compared to an RNC.

00:34:33.340 An RNC takes place annually and you have decisions which are made on a RNC,

00:34:40.480 a candidate is nominated, and the German democracy parties

00:34:46.060 play probably a much bigger role legally than in the US

00:34:50.360 because there are laws specifically regulating what parties need to do

00:34:56.980 and what they, for instance, must not do.

00:35:00.060 And having a party assembly is actually something which is mandated

00:35:05.640 by the German law, which is regulating political parties.

00:35:11.040 So what the AFD is doing here is actually fulfilling its legal obligation

00:35:17.760 to hold a party assembly.

00:35:20.780 However, it is now a routine and part of the political theater

00:35:26.460 that already many months before the party assembly takes place

00:35:32.200 you have developments in the German discourse

00:35:35.600 starting by mobilization efforts from churches which are left-wing occupied,

00:35:42.940 from unions which are taxpayer-funded,

00:35:47.520 from certain politicians from left-wing parties

00:35:50.820 trying to mobilize against not only perfectly legal,

00:35:56.940 but legally mandated holding of the party assembly.

00:36:02.660 And recently, in the last two, three years,

00:36:05.900 the protests, which are not really protests,

00:36:08.720 they are attacks against AFD party assemblies,

00:36:13.480 are becoming very intense.

00:36:15.840 We saw this last year during the formation of the youth wing

00:36:20.000 of the AfD, Generation Deutschland,

00:36:23.080 where you saw how so-called protesters

00:36:26.720 throwed actually wood on federal highways

00:36:31.460 so that cars could not come to the area

00:36:37.400 where the party assembly was taking place,

00:36:40.640 police being attacked,

00:36:42.780 actually politicians being attacked

00:36:45.200 by these left-wing operatives.

00:36:47.040 And it is expected that you will have, not only in my words, not even in the words of conservative commentators, but, you know, in the words of people which are in the center, like Politico, civil war-like developments on Saturday and on Sunday.

00:37:08.740 and there are so many things which, you know, need to be discussed

00:37:15.020 because they are very interesting in particular for your audience in the U.S.

00:37:19.080 Just imagine the following.

00:37:21.580 Imagine that you have an RNC taking place in Madison Square Garden in New York City

00:37:28.420 and you have all over the city on every avenue and on every street blockades by left-wing groups.

00:37:36.320 You have left-wing groups trying to blockade JFK Airport and LaGuardia.

00:37:44.540 You have activists trying to blockade federal interstate and highways.

00:37:50.420 You have left-wing groups trying to blockade the ports in the city.

00:37:55.300 Because this is what will happen in Erfurt, a German city.

00:37:59.040 essentially for two days because a party,

00:38:03.500 which is currently the highest polling party in Germany,

00:38:06.820 is doing what it is legally required to do, to gather freely.

00:38:12.840 An entire city needs to be isolated like it was done

00:38:17.880 under lockdown situation and COVID.

00:38:20.580 That is the situation which we have here in Germany

00:38:23.560 when the AfD just wants to gather freely and have a democratic event.

00:38:29.040 And we'll talk about, you mentioned COVID, we're going to talk about that because you mentioned that in your article.

00:38:37.380 Just, we'll do that in a couple of minutes.

00:38:40.260 I just want to drill down on this point.

00:38:42.380 What did these Antifa activists, paratroopers, stormtroopers, the Antifa stormtroopers, right?

00:38:50.800 What do they hope to achieve by this display of violence and intimidation?

00:38:58.820 When, as you say, the AFD is what, up 28% at the moment.

00:39:03.100 Friedrich Merz, the chancellor, is down on 22%.

00:39:05.940 So the AFD are by far and away the most popular political force at the moment.

00:39:11.220 What do the Antifa think they are going to achieve?

00:39:14.120 Correct me if I'm wrong, but they're planning up to 30 or so.

00:39:18.620 The state authorities in Thuringia are expecting at least 30 or so roadblocks organized by the Antifa.

00:39:28.760 They're planning on shutting the city down, right?

00:39:31.300 This is going to be absolutely incredible.

00:39:34.580 What do they hope to achieve by doing this?

00:39:36.480 Yes, I can just say that I know that, you know, in political commentary, if you comment on politics nowadays, you can maybe be too dramatic.

00:39:50.220 I can only say that you cannot overestimate what is going on tomorrow and on Sunday in Erfurt, because if you would have only 20 blockade attempts, this would be even, you know, probably the best case scenario.

00:40:04.100 It will be much worse. And I really hope nobody, I really hope nobody will suffer. You know, I hope that no AFD person who probably will be attacked and there will be, unfortunately, attacks on AFD politicians by left wing operatives.

00:40:22.200 I hope that from a medical point of view, there will be no harm done.

00:40:28.120 You know, you asked me what they hope for.

00:40:30.740 Let me reply in this way.

00:40:34.200 The Antifa operatives in Germany think that we are right now in the late 30s

00:40:39.720 or in the beginning 30s of the Weimar Republic

00:40:42.780 and the AfD is the Nazi Party essentially

00:40:46.500 And Björn Höcke and Alice Weidel are, you know, kind of Adolf Hitler and they want to take over Germany.

00:40:54.320 And one year after the AfD is elected into power, we will have Holocaust like, you know, developments here.

00:41:01.480 This is, in fact, the result of many failures in German society, a failure of the education system in Germany, a failure on how political discourse was conducted in the last 20 years, where everybody and everything which is conservative or right from the center is automatically equated to being fascist.

00:41:26.760 So let me just say this last sentence, because the Antifa operatives are, in my opinion, the victims of a totally failed education system, a totally failed society, which is not able to have a free and open discourse.

00:41:45.360 erin you mentioned just now you go through the list of of failures but it's also a failure

00:41:52.260 of those who have the constitutional authority to protect the values that the constitution wants to

00:41:59.180 protect to protect those values right there's also that failure as well the constitution allows

00:42:04.460 certain bodies no entrusts certain bodies to enforce its own values and those bodies are

00:42:11.500 undermining the values of the constitution in the name of defending them is it it's it's paradoxical

00:42:18.420 paradoxical we'll dig down on that um in in just 30 seconds i want to give my second shout out of

00:42:24.600 the show to to the sponsor today and that's of course my patriot supply and you're hearing

00:42:29.900 erin talking about of what happens when activists can shut down a whole city so perfect i think

00:42:38.200 opportunity just to mention of what you might want to do in your own homes to stock up the larder

00:42:43.160 put something perhaps uh keep the boxes in the um in the cellar or in the garage just in case your

00:42:50.220 own supply lines are provisionally interrupted for whatever for whatever um time period may be

00:42:59.400 the case, go to preparewithbannon.com to take advantage of the special $100 off their best-selling

00:43:12.480 three-month emergency food kit. It's originally at $241.99. Dan, with that special offer,

00:43:21.400 price down to 141.99 stock up put those boxes up in the attic or wherever you you want to keep them

00:43:29.820 and then you have to say then you have peace of mind of knowing that should the supply lines ever

00:43:35.580 be interrupted and it has already happened um within living memory should those things happen

00:43:43.760 you will uh you will have stocks to keep you going my patriot supply prepare with bannon.com

00:43:51.680 once again prepare with bannon.com go they've got a special website for you

00:43:55.360 and take a look at that special offer it's only 141 dollars can't really go wrong folks all right

00:44:02.320 so aryan last year i think it was the hungarian conservative you wrote about exactly uh the

00:44:09.660 consequences of the political intimidation pushed by Antifa at the previous conference and you made

00:44:18.440 the argument that these protests had a very structural role in justifying the firewall and

00:44:29.660 applying political pressure to people who thought that the time was right to bring in the AFD from

00:44:38.660 the cold and to work with them so it had that dual purpose and that's a sort of interesting

00:44:45.040 argument which i hadn't seen before you also went through with your usual analytic narrative

00:44:53.180 and explained how the state were was using third party activists in order to arrive at blatantly

00:45:04.560 anti-constitutional ends from a hands-off distance in fact you you even coined um

00:45:11.780 coined the word for that which which i which i will just um which i will just bring up now

00:45:17.380 um and then i'll ask you to explain again uh what you think is going to happen this time

00:45:25.160 around the expression was indirect perpetration that's the that's the the concept here indirect

00:45:32.460 perpetration, where the state, in a hands-off way, gives the ability, the means, via taxpayer-funded

00:45:41.060 private organizations to pursue a political agenda. Tell me more how that all ties together.

00:45:53.140 You know, regularly, even by CDU politicians, the phrase is shared that Germany right now

00:46:02.280 is in the midst of its most difficult financial and economic crisis

00:46:09.540 since the end of the Second World War.

00:46:12.580 And how is it possible that under such rough and difficult circumstances

00:46:18.300 where the biggest German automaker VW just announced

00:46:24.340 that probably more than 100,000 jobs are being laid off,

00:46:28.400 How is it possible that under these circumstances where the cost of living is rising, people can just afford to travel from all over Germany to one town in their time and just blockade and attack people who exercise a constitutional right?

00:46:48.820 It is possible because, for instance, the trade service union, Verdi, which is receiving taxpayer money, is financing the bus transfer from more than 30 cities in Germany of activists to the city where the AFD is holding the party assembly.

00:47:12.020 So now just for a moment, digest this. The German taxpayer is subsidizing a union which has not only the expectation, but the actually legally mandate to represent all workers from all political background.

00:47:32.080 However, this union is using its taxpayer money to finance buses to the AFD party assembly.

00:47:47.820 And this is an indirect subsidization by the state.

00:47:53.460 the same state which actually has the legal obligation

00:47:57.380 to protect the AFD party assembly

00:48:01.280 is indirectly financing those groups

00:48:05.580 which are causing the need for

00:48:09.460 protection in the first place. And this is, you know, the firewall

00:48:13.380 machine game which is played in Germany. And why this game

00:48:17.520 is played, I don't believe that there is just one person

00:48:21.560 which, you know, is causing all these effects.

00:48:26.680 I think that over the last 10, 15 years, we have established in Germany

00:48:32.260 an NGO industry which is actually living from taxpayer money

00:48:38.180 and its sole purpose is just to fight against the AFD

00:48:43.440 because the AFD is totally artificially, you know, described as being the same threat

00:48:49.520 which the Nazi party was in the 30s in the Weimar Republic.

00:48:53.960 And this is really a shame,

00:48:55.500 not because of those who are actually the activists,

00:48:59.580 which, in my opinion, are victims of an educational system

00:49:02.980 which didn't educate them.

00:49:04.860 It is, in my opinion, really a shame for Germany,

00:49:10.040 which more than 75 years after the end of the Second World War,

00:49:14.840 successfully built and established a highly successful economy

00:49:19.620 and is now really losing the basic knowledge

00:49:23.380 about what makes a society free, which is open discourse. 0.91

00:49:29.240 Arian, by the way, they're not just bussing people in

00:49:33.460 from all over Germany to Erfurt.

00:49:35.940 They're bussing them in from France and Italy as well.

00:49:40.620 This is the international scale of what's going to take place

00:49:44.280 this weekend um is is not to be underestimated they're really going all in um and honored as
