Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 126： MAGA Turns Out In Droves In Michigan And Pennsylvania Over The Weekend; The MAGA Evengelicals And Catholics Are 'Too Hardcore' For The Mainstream

00:00:00.000 this is what you're fighting for i mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing

00:00:11.580 people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the

00:00:18.580 authoritarians get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this is just

00:00:24.480 like in georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and

00:00:29.240 misrepresentations is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is

00:00:33.520 the fight all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's

00:00:40.560 your host stephen k bannon liberal democrats who are tired of the trifecta in this capital that

00:00:48.400 is destroying our state and making life untenable for the people of michigan they are done with it 0.88

00:00:53.780 they are done with not being served they are done with our corrupt and dishonest media that push

00:00:58.400 democratic talking points i crack up at our quote unquote journalists who use things calling me an

00:01:03.680 election denier now where did that talking point come from the only thing i'm denying is that jocelyn

00:01:08.540 benson knows how to run a clean election she is the most lawless secretary of state in michigan's history 1.00

00:01:14.620 as a matter of fact the judge just ruled against her because jocelyn benson does not want to clean 1.00

00:01:19.520 dead people off the voter rolls now answer me this why wouldn't she want to clean dead people off the 1.00

00:01:25.920 voter rolls it's clear because she wants to defraud the people of michigan of our voice 1.00

00:01:29.520 she wants to defraud of our voice and it is a national security threat which she's up to and

00:01:34.160 i'm not backing down from that point no matter how many people ask me to

00:01:36.980 you know what's interesting i was talking to folks in detroit a couple weeks ago and they were sharing with

00:01:49.880 me how they had friends these are democrats who showed up to the polls and were told they had

00:01:54.880 already voted absentee so it's not just us it's not just the gop it's michigan who's tired of it

00:02:02.500 and it's also how she's failed us regarding our branch offices which is a quality of life issue

00:02:07.740 we pay way too much in the branch offices way too much for our sos services when you look at how much

00:02:14.120 money that the secretary of state actually brings in and what they actually keep to run the department

00:02:18.840 what they bring in only seven percent is needed to run the department based on how much revenue they

00:02:23.700 bring in only seven percent of that 2.9 billion dollars but yet they want to constantly justify

00:02:28.980 increasing fees to go blow it on progress from the degrees the palms of their friends we are done

00:02:34.060 okay welcome you're in the war room monday 29 august year of our lord 2022

00:02:43.760 that is uh i think gateway pundit calls her savage angel yesterday in michigan let's bring in christine 0.99

00:02:50.660 caramo she's running for secretary of state uh pretty on fire christina tell us uh tell us the

00:02:57.100 point that you are trying to make about your opponent who i still think refuses to debate you is that

00:03:02.740 correct well we shall see it it seems as though she's trying to get me to go on some talking show

00:03:08.880 probably so she can set the stage for herself to lie the thing about it is jocelyn benson is the

00:03:13.940 most lawless secretary of state in the history of michigan that even democrats are tired of her as well 1.00

00:03:18.900 because it is an attack on our national security is the attack on the control that we the people have

00:03:23.700 over our government and the evidence is just stacking against her a judge just ruled last week 1.00

00:03:28.500 against her when she was trying to convince a judge to drop a case that was going against her for 1.00

00:03:34.020 her refusal to clean dead people off the voter rolls i mean this is common sense why does she want to 1.00

00:03:38.800 keep dead people on the voter rolls she wants to bloat the boat voter rolls so they can operate those 1.00

00:03:43.380 ballot muleing operations this is what i strongly believe based on the evidence that we have seen

00:03:47.440 we have surveillance footage of individuals signing multiple ballots and then those same individuals

00:03:53.140 going to drop multiple ballots inside ballot drop boxes this is an attack on our election system

00:03:58.520 it's attack on the people of the state correct me if i'm wrong but aren't it looks like the from the

00:04:05.900 polling independents and democrats agree with you that they want this all cleaned up they want fair

00:04:10.120 and transparent there's a number of working class democrats particularly in detroit that want fair

00:04:16.180 elections and don't want republicans trying to pull this nonsense so they want first off they want

00:04:21.260 the voter rolls cleaned up they want a lot more transparency i mean isn't this a bipartisan issue right now

00:04:26.260 it really is a bipartisan issue i was talking with democrats who tell me that they won't even vote

00:04:30.980 absentee because they don't trust the process there's no apps there's no security of how your

00:04:35.580 absentee ballot is being handled from the point you cast it till it arrives at the clerk's office to it

00:04:40.260 being tabulated anything could occur there's a suburb by detroit where i was informed that when these

00:04:45.840 individuals from the clerk's office were coming to the local post office to pick up absentee ballots

00:04:50.720 they didn't have to provide any type of credential they didn't have to show any id just it just came

00:04:55.240 said where they were from pick up the ballots and that was that this is not a partisan issue and

00:04:59.660 you're right steve these kitchen table issues that people care about like ensuring that we actually

00:05:04.360 have control over our government democrats do agree with this on you know what's so funny i was watching

00:05:08.320 a clip from joe rogan who said vote republican joe rogan is not a republican but it's just that the

00:05:13.440 democratic party who's been co-opted by marxists has totally ran our country into the ground they're 1.00

00:05:18.780 intentionally trying to destroy our country and many true liberals are waking up and seeing what these

00:05:23.020 people are about a lot of the social issues we disagree with they want to talk about later i just

00:05:27.320 want to be able to ensure that i actually have a say in my government i want to be able to ensure

00:05:31.020 that i actually can put my kids in school and pay for gas pay for food these basic issues that people

00:05:35.700 care about and so we're going to see a massive victory come november a referendum on the craziness

00:05:40.280 of the biden whitmer benson nestle administration we see here in michigan so we will be successful because

00:05:45.480 at the end of the day people want problem solved they don't care what party you're from they want

00:05:50.720 problem solved and those are the people who will vote for me come november

00:05:53.500 do you think is there any three people that are more radical than the the than the democratic

00:06:01.220 governor attorney general and secretary of state in any state and i include california in that

00:06:06.180 is that the three most radical democrats running a state in this union ma'am

00:06:10.820 well yes here's why steve number one our attorney general dana nestle claimed that i was engaging in

00:06:16.360 a felony and could be criminally charged we have this on camera so it's not like when we say these

00:06:20.760 things about these women we're just shouting things out or making claims my opponent has falsely 1.00

00:06:25.420 claimed that armed protesters showed up at her home she falsely claimed that president trump wanted her

00:06:30.840 to potentially be executed she has been caught multiple times lying about a variety of things and

00:06:36.400 this shows us when you have people and the administrator and the executive branch who are calling for

00:06:41.420 citizens to be criminally charged and benson echoes dana nestle's points that people should be criminally

00:06:47.780 charged that it's voter suppression to point out her corruption this is what's going on you look at

00:06:53.120 gretchen whitmer gretchen whitmer has blood on her hands she not only put covet patients in nursing homes 1.00

00:06:59.320 but she also denied people life-saving medical treatment because it was politically advantageous for

00:07:04.860 her to do so these people do not care about anybody and what the democrats are running on in this in 1.00

00:07:10.280 this election is they're just fixated on abortion as though somehow that is the number one issue in

00:07:15.060 our country i am pro-life conception till natural death however even amongst even pro-choice groups

00:07:20.900 and voting blocs they still want to be able to feed their kids and be able to provide for their

00:07:26.120 families on a basic level and as a matter of fact in michigan right now they're trying to push

00:07:30.500 on in our state's constitution changes to our elections that will allow nine days of early in-person

00:07:35.860 voting private money in elections when i speak with democrats the concept of private money in our

00:07:41.520 elections terrifies people because you will be able to bribe folks if that's what they want to do

00:07:46.480 permanent ballot drop boxes putting in our constitution getting away rid of voting id laws

00:07:51.400 and as i talk to people and i know i keep injecting the point of talking to democrats so people can

00:07:55.440 clearly understand these are just common sense issues nobody i know can understand why an adult wouldn't

00:08:01.300 have an id and as a matter of fact as i've pointed out if you have large swaths of the population

00:08:06.580 who do not have an id it is a job of the secretary of state to ensure people have ids i talked with

00:08:11.900 someone who has experienced a couple of people who have known of non-citizens who've been registered

00:08:17.260 to vote three people i've talked to regarding this three within the last i would say two weeks

00:08:22.160 so this is a massive issue and these individuals do not want to fix it they're george soros puppets

00:08:27.220 and their goal is to run michigan into the ground that's what their objective is i mean our attorney

00:08:31.960 general said she wants a drag queen in every school i mean this is what these people are on to 0.95

00:08:36.000 so you know in michigan we're going to see a massive referendum and we just have to make sure that we

00:08:40.320 hear the gop get our act together and make sure that we're successful in november well let's talk

00:08:46.120 about that for a second because all this discussion about the gop uh across the board not just in

00:08:51.000 michigan but the establishment's not there for grassroots candidates that uh particularly candidates

00:08:55.620 like yourself that have really bootstrapped your way up are not part of the club that they're they're

00:09:00.680 just not interested in can you get us up to date on exactly where we are in the campaign and and where

00:09:05.760 do you stand against uh benson and uh and how how are you going to run this thing because you are

00:09:11.040 you're an inspiration for the entire country yeah you know what steve we have close to 1500 volunteers

00:09:17.580 statewide we have so many people joining our campaign joining our movement to make sure that we're

00:09:22.720 successful in november because we understand that we have to have honest servant leadership

00:09:26.100 in our state to be successful the thing about it is the people who are occupying many of these spaces

00:09:30.820 and power with various elected officials and especially in our executive branch it's not that

00:09:35.620 these jobs are so complicated or so complex these people are just corrupt we have a criminal cartel

00:09:40.100 but in our state that's what's going on and to your point we have talked to so many everyday people

00:09:44.820 people across political affiliations who are supporting our campaign because they

00:09:49.780 want just someone to do the right thing and so there are people who carry the title republican

00:09:54.060 who just simply will not support me because like you said i'm not part of the club they don't they're

00:09:58.320 not in this for the people of the state they're in this for themselves they're in this for their name

00:10:02.500 they're in for power for money everything that makes politics toxic that's what they're in it for 0.98

00:10:07.760 and we're just not about that we're about honest leadership we're about honestly taking back our state for the

00:10:12.840 benefit of the people of michigan and not just our campaign but we're seeing so many people

00:10:17.520 across the state everyday citizens who are running for office who are getting involved for the first

00:10:22.140 time and this is what will make us successful so yeah we definitely need people support across

00:10:27.020 america to help our campaign especially if you're in michigan please volunteer if you're even out

00:10:31.580 state hey contribute because michigan is a battleground state this is why george soros and his secretary of

00:10:36.900 state project intentionally targeted michigan my opponent is not even from michigan she's from

00:10:41.300 pennsylvania she used to work for the southern poverty law center that tells you what she's about 1.00

00:10:45.200 she wrote a book about the secretary of state's office and can't even do the job because she 1.00

00:10:49.100 intentionally was placed in that office to corrupt the election system to defraud the people of

00:10:53.700 michigan of their voice as i said in the speech i gave there was someone who shared with me that they

00:10:58.220 had a friend who went to go vote these are democrats went to go vote in person and was told they already

00:11:03.300 voted absentee i've heard that story multiple times across the state and so this is happening in

00:11:08.320 elections everything down from 2020 down the city elections were having issues midterm elections were having

00:11:14.040 issues we're seeing issues already with vincent what appears to be bloating the voter rolls

00:11:17.700 so this is something that we have to take back and we will be successful

00:11:22.240 give me a second give me a minute on this on your concept of servant leadership

00:11:29.740 she's trying to paint you in the mainstream media msmbc is trying to paint you as a wild-eyed

00:11:35.160 christian nationalist ma'am uh your response you know the thing about it is i am always going to be a

00:11:42.600 follower of jesus christ i will not apologize for that you know steve to your point you know as a

00:11:46.940 fellow christian these people were up against our seculars that's what they want they want a society

00:11:52.300 absent of god i mean what kind of people advocate for abortion until birth that's something we're up

00:11:57.480 against in michigan in the november election that they have a constitutional amendment where they want

00:12:03.100 to legalize abortion up until birth and remove parental consent which opens the door for all types of

00:12:08.780 other horrible things to happen to our children this is what seculars are about they want a society

00:12:13.160 absent of god so when you have people such as myself and you and other people across america i know they

00:12:18.740 said the same thing about doug mastriano in uh pennsylvania so when you are a christian and you are

00:12:24.080 unapologetically a christian and you're running for public office these people want you gone because

00:12:28.320 they have a hard time imposing their secularist agenda with you standing there and so they'd rather

00:12:33.020 get on issues like my objections to darwinian evolution yes i have objections to darwinian evolution

00:12:37.640 we can have a conversation about that but it has nothing to do with the secretary of state's office

00:12:40.800 so they'd rather focus on all these other things that i've talked about on my christian podcast

00:12:45.760 instead of talking about the office for secretary of state because they know if we talk about the

00:12:49.900 issues toe for toe this is going to lose because she there is evidence this isn't just me saying

00:12:55.460 things or making claims there's evidence of her being a corrupt and lawless individual but instead 1.00

00:13:00.280 they rather distract on the fact that i'm a christian because this is part of a larger agenda

00:13:04.320 to purge christians from society to make us so obsolete that not only do we not serve in public 1.00

00:13:10.260 office and if there's a remnant of christians left we won't even speak about our faith and

00:13:14.700 we're going to fight back i will never apologize for being a follower of christ and these people just

00:13:19.700 need to go pound sand because we're not going anywhere and in fact we're going to grow our ranks

00:13:23.080 uh can we uh can you give us your social media and how do people find out more about you and more

00:13:30.300 about your campaign yeah christinacaramo.com we definitely need your financial support the thing

00:13:35.800 about it is these people they are fixated on corrupting our election system and i would say

00:13:40.420 that the secretary of state's race is the most important state important race in america because

00:13:44.960 it's the only way that we the people maintain control of our government our elections is the

00:13:49.580 heartbeat of our freedom that full heartbeat of our freedom no other way to have our freedom but

00:13:53.660 our election system so please support us christinacaramo.com and we will be victorious in november

00:13:59.440 and we will take back this day for all the people even those who don't like me

00:14:02.900 christina thank you very much honored to have you on here thank you steve

00:14:09.220 christina cromo a michigander fighting hard up there in the state of michigan let's i tell you we

00:14:15.480 have a cold open this amazing rally on saturday in the commonwealth of pennsylvania let's go to that

00:14:21.640 before we bring in sam fattis

00:14:22.820 what a huge what a huge turnout there is amazing let's bring in sam fattis now sam what was the

00:14:43.560 group that put it on what was the purpose of it uh how big they got it looked like it got a little

00:14:48.380 rowdy got a little rowdy for the for the record by the way steve i would say i guess i am a christian

00:14:55.100 nationalist since i'm a christian i love my country i'll leave the wild-eyed part up to somebody else

00:15:01.160 to decide but uh that's not much of an accusation you're a christian i i i think i i think i i think

00:15:08.140 i i think the 30 some years you spent in defense of your country working for the intelligence services

00:15:13.480 took out the wild-eyed part of it sam so you're so you're steely-eyed steely-eyed let's say that

00:15:19.180 i like that one better than the wild-eyed anyway uh this patriots coalition pennsylvania patriots

00:15:25.860 coalition that we've put together now over 100 patriot groups across the state growing in number

00:15:32.280 every day and we put together this rally in bloomsburg to kick off what is a statewide series

00:15:40.480 of rallies town halls door knocking events a campaign of what we call relentless pressure

00:15:46.960 on the legislature to back up our demand that they end this crazy experiment with mail-in voting and

00:15:54.980 drop boxes and take us back to in-person voting had it outside of bloomsburg at an equestrian center

00:16:02.540 at least a couple of thousand people present but again this is the first of i have no idea at this

00:16:09.500 point i've lost count myself how many rallies are coming up i'm speaking i i think five times

00:16:15.980 in the next week and there are plenty of rallies going on that i can't make it to

00:16:19.740 i will be out in western pennsylvania next week for several days in succession

00:16:23.900 doing more than one rally a day as as we ripple this thing all around the state

00:16:29.160 well i want to make sure we get the uh the the uh website because i want to make sure everybody in

00:16:36.280 the commonwealth of pennsylvania knows this because this is how we're going to win in november here's

00:16:41.600 what i think it's confusing and we're gonna have tony shup on here from vote pa in a second stand but

00:16:46.420 here's what i'm confused about i i thought didn't the commonwealth court say that the mail-in ballots

00:16:53.800 were unconstitutional now realize had to where do you actually stand is is it according to the state

00:17:00.860 constitution the commonwealth these mail-in ballots unconstitutional you you can't do this unless you

00:17:07.480 change the constitution where are we actually in this process

00:17:10.980 the commonwealth court which is this kind of weird intermediate appellate court that exists in

00:17:18.580 pennsylvania and there's no comparable thing elsewhere voted that act 77 the bill that gave us mail-in

00:17:24.760 voting was unconstitutional then the state supreme court which is stacked with democratic party hacks

00:17:31.400 overturned that ruling and said yeah the legislature if you do whatever it wants basically which is

00:17:37.480 absurd you read the constitution it says evident that a pennsylvania constitution it's as clear as day 0.78

00:17:43.520 that this change could not be made without an amendment to the constitution but who cares

00:17:48.580 they did it anyway tony shup by the way from audit the vote was the first speaker yesterday at this

00:17:54.780 rally she's she's everywhere she's the leader as you know i think the single biggest patriot group in

00:18:01.880 the whole state and her folks are part of this coalition that we've got going

00:18:06.160 so what the patriot groups now you intend to have uh these rallies throughout say are you trying to

00:18:14.980 motivate people to get to the polls on november 8th or is the principal thing to get to the legislature

00:18:19.680 and to try to actually get something on the books that reverses because it can't be for this election

00:18:24.580 but reverses for afterwards the mail-in voting what what what is like your your your target set

00:18:31.040 the immediate demand is to lean on the legislature that's going to go back into session soon

00:18:38.240 to repeal act 77 let's keep in mind the pennsylvania gop controlled legislature gave us

00:18:47.120 mail-in voting and drop boxes so the folks we're leaning on are the gop establishment fix it you

00:18:53.440 made this mess clean it up uh after that obviously we are all simultaneously pushing people to vote for

00:19:00.040 doug mastriano but where this is really going long term steve is we're taking out the middle ground

00:19:05.820 right we're saying to to all these folks again we're talking primarily to the gop there's a line

00:19:11.020 on the ground you either get on one side of it with us and take us back to in-person voting

00:19:15.720 or you stand against us and if you stand against us then come next primary you're going to be looking

00:19:23.480 for work if they don't do what we want this all builds into just getting out a big room

00:19:28.880 and sweeping the legislature clean that's where this is going

00:19:32.220 sam hang on for a second i want to bring tony in right now tony you were the kickoff speaker on

00:19:39.200 on saturday i know you've got some breaking news for us but but first walk us through all these

00:19:43.840 patriot groups coming together you've been at the forefront of this uh what are you guys trying to

00:19:49.140 do what are you trying to accomplish here we're trying to get the state legislators to listen to the

00:19:54.260 people that put them there and take us back to in-person voting get rid of the mass mailing ballots

00:19:58.640 get rid of the machines we want paper ballots counted by hand one day elections it's pretty

00:20:03.640 simple we want a free fair honest transparent elections really not that hard

00:20:07.880 when when sam talks about the establishment the republican establishment made this happen

00:20:14.780 uh are do you believe that they're listening to you do you believe i know that overwhelmingly you

00:20:19.800 guys uh we have a massive grassroots movement in pennsylvania it's essentially what got president

00:20:25.600 trump elected in 2016 and to be brutally frank it's with real votes certifiable votes it's what got

00:20:32.640 him to win pennsylvania in 2020 uh is the republican establishment listening to you do they fear you

00:20:39.480 guys or is this just another group of uh tea party pest that's a good question i think would have to

00:20:45.660 what we did do is put together a report we started working more on the local level after everything got

00:20:51.480 ripped out from under us when late last summer when they removed mastriano from the committee and the

00:20:56.020 forensic audit changed we went on a ground level and we put together a report based on all our

00:21:01.540 investigative canvassing efforts of things that the counties can do that don't violate the pennsylvania

00:21:06.180 election code these are things changes they can make right now before the november midterms to help

00:21:11.140 secure it like banning ballot drop boxes there's nothing in the law that says we have to use those in fact

00:21:16.180 one of the counties actually went up against the aclu right before the may primary lancaster county josh

00:21:21.860 parsons he's a county commissioner aclu sued him twice in two weeks to try to force drop boxes in the

00:21:27.460 county and he basically told him to go pound sand and put a statement out and said we're not going to

00:21:31.520 use them the counties can do that the counties can stick the machines in the closet there's nothing in

00:21:36.120 the pennsylvania law that says we have to use them it's just going to take somebody with some courage

00:21:40.700 there's going to be backlash i mean there's risks we're dealing with a weaponized government which

00:21:44.640 i don't have to tell you or anybody that watches your show that that's what we're dealing with so

00:21:48.700 there's a risk there but there's nothing in the law that says we can't make these changes in our

00:21:53.000 report that's on our website auditthevotepa.com so let's talk about that you're saying you have

00:21:59.620 action items right now that if the county regardless of what the state legislature did regardless how

00:22:04.640 bad this is and forget the constitutionality and these big issues that of the constitution you're

00:22:10.080 saying there's practical things that can be done that they they have the authority to do

00:22:14.280 quite frankly the responsibility to do but that they they don't need any waivers they don't need

00:22:19.540 any legal opinions they can these county uh supervisors overseeing the elections can take

00:22:24.620 these actions today they absolutely can they just need a backbone because they're going to get

00:22:29.100 pressured from the state department but if you go to our website auditthevotepa.com under the reports

00:22:34.020 media tab we put together a very good comprehensive analysis report with every link that backs up

00:22:39.580 everything that we're recommending the counties do they can bring the mail-in ballots back to the

00:22:44.200 precinct level they don't have to go to the centralized tabulating center where they go right

00:22:47.940 now they need to go back to the individual precincts and they can be counted there that's all in there

00:22:52.420 everything about the machines banning the ballot drop boxes other recommendations it's all there and

00:22:57.260 it's all within their jurisdiction to make that decision again they just need some courage to do it

00:23:01.620 about this the canvas and the things you did uh with your group what would it take to expand that

00:23:09.800 to make that statewide is there is there enough grassroots effort out there enough people to

00:23:15.560 actually do what you guys accomplished and to really take that and and get every county in the

00:23:20.080 state and the commonwealth to actually do this that's another good question i would like to think so

00:23:26.520 i mean we started canvassing in 20 different counties we ended up with enough volunteers to get a

00:23:30.960 sample size in 12 counties which are the results that we released on our website i would like to

00:23:35.620 think at this point we've got enough effort grassroots wise to pull that off we have specifically

00:23:41.060 recently partnered with the america project to do a get out the vote effort it's our focus from now to

00:23:45.660 november we've got to massively overwhelm the system with as many in-person votes on election day as

00:23:50.360 possible and they're going to help provide some of the funds to a digital media campaign based on the

00:23:55.280 results that we get from a canvassing get out the vote effort so that's our next move

00:23:58.960 uh sam let me bring you back in here for a second um what what uh tony's talking about

00:24:07.080 is that a practical solution since obviously you can't get the assembly to to to uh reverse its

00:24:13.860 its uh law so far on uh on the mail-in ballots themselves are her practical things at the county

00:24:20.580 level is that something that in your mind is doable now

00:24:23.360 absolutely 100 doable and another thing that with the coalition we're trying to get going statewide

00:24:31.860 i mean what happens when you look at the map steve is you will see you know we got 100 groups 100

00:24:37.560 plus groups depending on how you count across the state of pennsylvania some places we got three or

00:24:42.420 four groups in accounting some places for whatever random series of reasons we don't have a group in

00:24:47.720 county so as part of this coalition it's not just bringing together existing groups it's creating

00:24:53.380 new groups it's expanding the coalition it's you know building muscle maps if you will for this thing

00:24:58.800 so we're in the process of a lot of organizational measures that are going on behind the curtain if

00:25:06.480 you will tony is also part of those building bylaws and corporation making this patriot coalition

00:25:12.060 into something that will exist and be permanent and continue to get stronger and more powerful

00:25:18.460 because you know how pa works this is an old school you know a backroom politics kind of place

00:25:25.460 in the end the only thing they understand this is the the commonwealth of pennsylvania the

00:25:32.780 political class are the original gangsters they're the ogs okay um sam how do people get to the

00:29:15.000 2022 i want to go to dave bratt who's the dean of the business school down at liberty and and dave

00:29:21.000 normally you you join us in the morning with cortez or in the afternoon we're talking charts we're

00:29:25.420 talking federal reserve the economy but i want to bring you on i i appreciate you changing your

00:29:31.200 schedule around to join us here in the battleground but president david french people remember david

00:29:36.540 french from his very successful run for the presidency in 2016 but david french has has been right a

00:29:43.260 series of our article the other day about um this rise of christian nationalism and we had christine

00:29:49.760 karamo on here to start the show she gets they they come after her with all get you know as hard

00:29:55.680 as they possibly can when she's talking about servant leadership and i think french's big hit on the

00:30:01.600 maga movement as far as the the uh the the christian uh backing of it and the way it's resonated with

00:30:08.900 evangelicals and traditional catholics i think his criticism is that we're not kind enough is that

00:30:15.680 that they hit i see he's taken that the evangelical christians in the maga movement the traditional

00:30:21.140 catholics lack kindness that comes from president in quotes david french uh dave bratt your your thoughts

00:30:28.640 yeah i think that's right i think you just characterized just right uh while he's hitting us

00:30:34.980 he's urging kindness from us so it's really a nice tap on the head it's like you people be quiet that's

00:30:42.620 the subtext right uh you be kind and you be quiet and he couches this not only in in christian terms but

00:30:49.200 i mean he's quoting the new testament i'll get to that in a minute notice uh there's no old testament and

00:30:55.900 i'm going to dig into that a bit uh but his kindness right and uh you just need to go back to like

00:31:01.980 reinhold niebuhr moral man and immoral society he was a serious liberal theologian who knew

00:31:08.100 human nature right and so his famous claim right is that is nations don't know how to love they're

00:31:14.780 not capable of love nor should they strive to love every nation is corrupt and evil right human nature

00:31:21.800 is bad enough by itself as individuals uh lump us all together and and throw in some fanaticism and

00:31:27.640 you get the 30s uh in germany and you get the 60s on the college campus uh a reaction of of the

00:31:35.460 passions against reason and the founding fathers and human rights claims and the judeo-christian west

00:31:43.560 the religious tradition along with human reason and so french knows what he's doing right he wants us to

00:31:49.960 be quiet and be kind and there's a there's a new line i think that's developing uh for for americans

00:31:57.400 it's we have been kind we're a very generous uh loving people we've been over backwards uh but now

00:32:04.400 the minority uh not only wants to be protected and they should be right madisonian democracy that's the

00:32:11.400 whole point is factions the minority faction is to be protected and so all of this has been covered

00:32:16.620 right and the uh the civil rights struggle came out of the founders hard heavy lifting uh and the

00:32:23.320 enlightenment uh folks back in you know 1776 and that finally you know toward the uh martin luther king

00:32:30.200 period met met some great resolution and but now the minority is going so far that kids right in school 0.92

00:32:38.500 k to k to five or just young kids are doing bodily mutilation uh we've got drag queens in the 1.00

00:32:46.300 classroom in the michigan you just heard the attorney general of michigan uh they want drag queens and 0.95

00:32:51.080 now it's not a protection of the minorities under equal rights right of life liberty pursuit happiness

00:32:56.300 it's the minority claims to want to run the country and so a a not even a percent i don't even think it's

00:33:03.700 a percent but they're allowed and they're well funded because it has to do with the destruction

00:33:08.240 of the judeo-christian tradition and free markets and the rule of law and constitution and human rights

00:33:13.580 claims right and so french should know better he claims to be you know he quasi serious i don't

00:33:19.900 think i think he's deep as a waiting pool if you read him right he doesn't understand human nature a

00:33:23.840 bit uh he doesn't understand christianity the way he expresses it and he ought to go read saint augustine

00:33:30.100 right on on just war right just war theory the whole idea there is yes individually christians right

00:33:36.040 if at all possible live at the sermon on the mount the i the ideal of the ideal who does that on a

00:33:41.840 daily basis who wakes up thinking about god all day from morning till night uh nobody right who

00:33:49.200 always puts other people's interests before themselves uh nobody jesus did that uniquely he's

00:33:55.180 the son of god right and so french is setting this thing up uh that our politics should be at that level

00:34:02.120 i mean it's just a a joke of political theory and so uh the most interesting thing about french is

00:34:09.780 he just quotes jesus in the new testament and we should all be loving and kind right should we also

00:34:16.680 be kind to hitler no that's where just war theory kicks in when the innocent are being harmed right

00:34:25.020 when minorities the jewish the gypsies when they're being harmed it's our duty and unfortunately the church 1.00

00:34:31.080 was asleep back then uh we were lacking a backbone the catholics and the protestants uh both totally 0.98

00:34:36.780 failed in germany and broader europe and even the u.s was slow to the punch uh but we got there we did

00:34:42.820 the right thing right and so french uh it just has it all upside down and then if you really want to go

00:34:48.920 into the god talk right uh push people to talk about god which god okay so he quotes a few lines from

00:34:55.580 jesus said we should all be kind and loving that's certainly in there right they love god love god

00:35:01.160 and love your neighbor as yourself right now we're warming up now if you want to go back to the jewish 1.00

00:35:06.660 text you want to know who god the father almighty is uh go watch uh harrison ford and raiders of the

00:35:13.280 lost ark the ark of the covenant uh when that ark when the top came off that ark uh that is a vision

00:35:21.500 of god the father almighty no one is allowed to see the face of the father period that's why jesus christ

00:35:27.160 is so essential in the in the christian tradition christ is the mediator who allows us to go before

00:35:32.720 the father and beg for the forgiveness of our sins so that we can approach god and we have to be uh

00:35:39.220 repent which means turning around not just saying i'm sorry you have to repent turn around and then be

00:35:45.100 obedient to god now this totally freaks out the left this is what's going on this was the 60s right

00:35:51.380 the fist uh upstairs to heaven no uh we reject it and that's the outgrowth of what you're seeing

00:35:58.840 right so the the enlightenment there was an attack on god the classical thinkers did not have this

00:36:04.220 uh similar uh attack right the uh socrates plato etc uh and then but even let's go to the new testament

00:36:12.260 right and uh the catholics are very familiar with the trinitarian theory it's been 1500 years matured

00:36:18.380 the trinity god the father the son and the holy spirit and so uh you know the the liberals of the

00:36:25.340 60s wanted to turn jesus into just a nice warm ethical teacher that's who jesus christ is no

00:36:33.540 uh wrong existentially uh kierkegaard wrote a book knowing full well about jesus and the father and it

00:36:43.040 was called fear and trembling uh knowing full well who jesus is as well and so what am i getting at

00:36:51.240 well for instance what jesus is loving and kind well jesus is also god in the godhead with the father

00:36:56.820 and when god almighty destroyed all human beings in the flood and took his own chosen people jewish

00:37:05.000 people to task and kicked them into the desert for 400 years for disobedience that is god that is the

00:37:11.400 father that is the son a holy god god's holiness cannot withstand uh us right when we turn our back

00:37:20.060 god's always there loving us but when we turn he'll let us off in the wilderness and i'm afraid that's

00:37:26.200 where our country is headed right now if we don't get our act together and so i'm glad you uh have had

00:37:32.220 me on to to to to kind of cover the basic trajectory but this idea it isn't but but what he's what he's

00:37:40.120 arguing but but but what but what he's arguing but what he's already hang on what he's arguing

00:37:45.280 is the mainstream churches and i the mainstream catholic church the mainstream protestant churches

00:37:52.340 don't want to don't want to contest this they're they're too afraid of being kicked out of the clubs

00:37:57.900 they're too afraid of being kicked out of the chamber of commerce they're too afraid of their kids not

00:38:01.340 getting into colleges that's why it's the more evangelical pentecostal traditional catholic

00:38:07.660 most of these from a lower socioeconomic class either the lower middle class or the working class

00:38:12.820 that are prepared to stand and fight on this david french is arguing i think uh what you see in the

00:38:20.000 mainstream protestant churches particularly in the northeast and in certain elements of the

00:38:24.360 the mid-atlantic states am i you see this all the time am i this is the even the southern baptist

00:38:29.400 convention this is why you're having these doctrinal issues right now that are really off

00:38:34.160 of the take away get away from the crisis that the country's going through dave brett yeah well

00:38:41.680 that that's exactly right and i i laid it out the way i did to kind of get at that point right

00:38:46.840 and now you've got even within uh some of the mainstream churches you got these what's what

00:38:52.660 are called these uh baby christians and so this is a nice way of welcoming and everybody and saying

00:38:59.020 god loves you and so do i that's great you want to meet people where they're at listen to them etc

00:39:03.700 but this is not a substitute for the gospel right jesus claim came and preached the gospel what is the

00:39:11.060 gospel the forgiveness of sin and so that is why jesus came right and so eventually you got to get

00:39:18.280 to the hard stuff that is the meat of christianity and so you're right that the mainstream the frozen

00:39:24.740 chosen are almost extinct right the uh the old uh the the mainstream uh intellectuals because 1.00

00:39:31.440 they have compromised way too much and so now you're right right the evangelical church is alive

00:39:37.920 and well and and in south america and in china and in africa etc and uh the left does not like this

00:39:45.980 right they're horrified and still you know just to get the basic numbers out we 70 of the country

00:39:51.620 still identifies as christian and even french has these graphs out in his writings not only 70 so

00:39:58.100 that's 200 million people claim uh to be followers of jesus christ uh well this baby christianity stuff

00:40:05.640 has to come to an end we have to get serious uh about what it is to be the church it's not a consumer

00:40:12.540 good where you go one hour a week uh to get psychological uh feel-good messages so you can go out and be a more

00:40:19.780 successful business person this is not the essence of christianity right when kierkegaard writes fear

00:40:25.960 and trembling uh it's not a uh prosperity gospel feel-good thing uh it's the most serious uh tradition

00:40:33.080 and you know with respect to the enlightenment and uh the transhumanism stuff you probably got up

00:40:39.060 by following me the enlightenment uh made a deal with the great philosophers right with socrates plato who

00:40:45.260 were in search of the good and the true and the beautiful and the vision of things and asked the

00:40:50.140 fundamental what is it to be man what is it what is it to be good a good human being the enlightenment

00:40:57.180 made a deal right with machiavelli and hobbes and the cartesian worldview etc and the enlightenment came

00:41:02.820 along and said uh hey uh you know that that reason of socrates we get it because we're these guys are

00:41:10.280 first class philosophers uh but it's not accessible uh to the layperson so what we're going to do is

00:41:15.140 we're going to bring you this enlightenment thing uh and the sciences are going to really improve your

00:41:19.500 life right we're going to extend your life uh in it with the cart with the uh with the hobbes we're

00:41:25.900 going to provide uh security and safety if you form the social contract and it all happened and it was

00:41:32.420 an incredible achievement but they didn't ask the main questions right and so that's why the social

00:41:38.140 sciences and the university these days are lost they don't ask the fundamental questions they don't

00:41:43.900 motivate the young scholars anymore about the central questions of what it is to be a human

00:41:48.840 and the fundamental issue of what it means to be a human that the classics knew is you will die

00:41:55.400 right we are finite we are human and that right there right Nietzsche knew it he was a genius guy he

00:42:03.560 all the brilliant ones go right there yeah hang over one second i'm gonna keep you on i want to

00:42:09.840 bring in joe allen do we have a cold open for joe allen because it gets right to this point

00:42:13.160 we play joe allen's cold open then we'll bring in joe right good good from uh you know the last year

00:42:19.120 the one thing i've tried to put a priority on since i left the white house was you know getting some

00:42:22.940 exercise in i think that there's a good probability that my generation is hopefully with the advances in

00:42:28.520 science either you know the the first generation to live forever or the last generation that's going to

00:42:33.320 die and so we need to keep ourselves in pretty good shape uh you talk about the idea of physical

00:42:39.920 immortality and you say that this is going to be possible by 2045 uh i talk about three bridges to

00:42:49.380 radical life extension i've written a few health books bridge one is what you can do right now to

00:42:54.420 stay healthy the old-fashioned way so that we can get to bridge two uh a key idea of mine is that

00:43:01.960 information technology progresses exponentially and health and medicine is now an information

00:43:07.360 technology and that was enabled by the genome project that's bridge two and that'll get us to

00:43:12.220 bridge three where we'll have medical nanorobots little robots that are computerized that are the 0.75

00:43:18.040 size of blood cells that basically finish the job of the immune system we can finish the job

00:43:23.800 uh with these medical nanorobots there's there are detailed designs actually how to go after every

00:43:30.020 disease once we have these devices that's a 2030 scenario so that's the third bridge ultimately we're

00:43:37.860 going to merge with artificial intelligence we can talk more about that well we start with the idea

00:43:42.560 of extending our mental capacity with ai so we've already done that you know most people if they leave

00:43:49.200 their cell phone they feel like they're incomplete so they're not yet inside our bodies and brains are

00:43:54.420 some people that have computers in their brains like parkinson's patients but that'll be routine in

00:43:59.520 the 2030s another application of these medical nanorobots will be to connect our neocortex that's the

00:44:05.640 outer layer of the brain that's where we do our thinking to the cloud we'll connect our neocortex

00:44:11.420 wirelessly to the cloud just the way your cell phone does it and so we will be a hybrid of biological

00:44:17.060 thinking and non-biological thinking which i believe has already started with these devices

00:44:22.400 outside our body and we'll become smarter by 2045 we'll expand our intelligence a billion fold that's

00:44:30.080 such a profound transformation that we borrow this metaphor from physics and call it a singular change

00:44:35.920 in human history okay welcome back that's about the singularity let's bring in joe allen joe can you

00:44:44.260 tell me uh exactly what we just saw there particularly the last part of it who's talking

00:44:48.560 and why is that important and i want to tie it back to dave bratt's uh exposition that he walked us

00:44:54.820 through well you know steve when uh media i tried to take you to task for calling jared kushner a

00:45:02.260 transhumanist i thought it pretty ridiculous and i was digging around in my uh cachet of ray

00:45:08.880 kurzweil interviews to see where direct links lie and i think you can hear it pretty clearly there

00:45:15.160 kushner simply says that technology will perhaps allow him to be part of the generation that either

00:45:21.420 lives forever or doesn't die i'm not really sure what the difference is and kurzweil is probably the

00:45:27.380 most outspoken kind of pop philosopher in that department uh the art transhumanist and he has laid

00:45:35.580 out in self-help books but also you know a really dense tome the singularity is near the path by which

00:45:42.900 human beings will use technology to become immortal the promise of almost every world religion

00:45:49.180 immortality is supposedly going to be provided via technology and you heard the first bridge is just

00:45:56.040 standard health care the second bridge uh starts creeping in more into the internet of bodies

00:46:01.820 and perhaps gene editing or gene therapies and surely the mrna vaccine and all other sorts of you know

00:46:09.340 genetic experiments on human beings fall into that category and then the third the nanobots the dream of

00:46:15.500 the all-powerful nanobots that will not only eradicate cancer and all other diseases and regenerate tissues

00:46:21.880 but he believes will allow us to commune directly with ai not unlike elon musk's neural link so

00:46:29.140 to dave bratt's point he is exactly right that uh human beings are simply destined to die each and every one of us

00:46:39.100 sooner or later hopefully later and i think that uh the sort of spiritual concept of immortality

00:46:46.880 has undoubtedly been hijacked by transhumanists or other sort of techno fetishists who believe that technology

00:46:53.720 will not only allow for indefinite life extension but some sort of de facto immortality it's delusional

00:47:00.960 and i think it needs to be taken very seriously i don't know if it's i don't yeah i don't know if

00:47:07.440 it's delusional because kurswell and remember kurswell what real quickly what is kurswell's current job

00:47:14.680 today what what is he's getting a paycheck for doing what yeah he's a top r&d director at google

00:47:21.680 so he is definitely and he is influence google google google owns google owns deep mind they own

00:47:28.540 all the they basically are probably as advanced as any weapons lab calico go ahead calico labs

00:47:35.120 an immortality project by google calico labs they also run that google is a publicly traded company

00:47:43.180 called alphabet publicly traded company hundreds of billions of dollars a market cap

00:47:47.980 many of the people in this audience right now own the stock okay you own the stock kurswell's a senior

00:47:54.280 head of kind of r&d he sets the kind of overall framework what he laid out there is the path to

00:48:01.120 the singularity with all these technologies whether it's it it uh artificial general intelligence whether

00:48:07.360 it's regenerative robotics was advanced chip design uh whether it's increases in artificial intelligence

00:48:12.680 and we didn't even talk about the biotech part uh which is crisper and part of that will be the

00:48:17.700 nanobots etc that's not a fantasy that is a research program and he lays out those bridges

00:48:23.580 hey it may not be 2045 it may be 2035 or it could be 2095 the point there's a plan and and and people

00:48:32.980 are building towards that plan and i'm not saying they're sitting in one room saying hey this is what

00:48:37.300 we have to do but in the research labs in asia uh in europe in the united states both in weapons labs

00:48:44.260 in uh in in in biotechnology weapons labs and in private labs throughout the world this is being

00:48:51.100 worked on so when dave brad talks about that this is not a fantasy this is something that's going to be

00:48:55.900 in the lived experience every person under 45 years old is going to live in a world where you're

00:49:02.640 going to have to make a decision between what's a homo sapient which is on this side of the line

00:49:06.400 this side of the singularity that would be everybody that's been born you know the 100

00:49:10.620 billion people have been born and then post homo sapien uh real quickly uh joe what is your uh give

00:49:16.400 your uh give your coordinates so people can get to you we gotta bounce at j-o-e-b-o-t-x-y-z

00:49:23.240 joebot.xyz and uh also warroom.org the transhumanism tab thanks a lot steve we're gonna pick this

00:49:31.240 we're gonna pick this back up tomorrow morning at 10 a.m uh dave bratt real quickly what's your social

00:49:35.200 media brother yeah bratt economics on getter i'm posting stuff look me up third floor at liberty

00:49:42.360 university come visit open door anytime man i feel a lot better after you gave us that talk today about

00:49:48.880 uh about liberty and about you down to that business school infused with the christian

00:49:53.520 ethos yeah thank you very much see you back here tomorrow morning at 10 a.m in the war room

00:49:58.580 you

00:49:59.080 you
