00:00:00.000 From Budapest, city of blood and bravery, tragedy and hope, come the first pictures of the battle which has shaken the world, and of its aftermath.
00:00:12.000 Here, in a few fierce days, the post-war drama of Eastern Europe reached its climax.
00:00:17.000 Tanks fought against civilians, and army against secret police, where a few days ago all had seemed quiet on the surface.
00:00:30.000 While the battle is raging, you have to keep out of the way.
00:00:33.540 But a tank asks no questions.
00:00:35.860 And when a country is divided against itself, the plane flying overhead may be on your side.
00:00:41.000 Or it may not.
00:00:48.420 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:53.380 Pray for our enemies.
00:00:55.380 Because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:57.300 I got a free shot
00:00:59.860 All these networks lying
00:01:01.240 About the people
00:01:02.860 The people have had a belly full of it
00:01:04.480 I know you don't like hearing that
00:01:06.040 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that
00:01:08.020 But you're not going to stop it
00:01:08.900 It's going to happen
00:01:10.040 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:01:13.660 Mega media
00:01:14.580 I wish in my soul
00:01:16.620 I wish that any of these people
00:01:18.660 Had a conscience
00:01:19.680 Ask yourself, what is my task
00:01:22.520 And what is my purpose
00:01:23.580 If that answer is to save my country
00:01:27.040 This country will be saved. 0.63
00:01:30.480 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:01:40.360 Friday, 23rd of October, Anno Domini, 2026.
00:01:46.820 Harnwell here at the helm on Steve Bannon's War Room.
00:01:50.440 Good evening.
00:01:51.720 Solemn day today in continental Europe,
00:01:55.040 especially in Hungary, 70th anniversary to the day of the 1956 Hungarian Uprising,
00:02:03.520 one of the two great attempts of states to distance themselves from the USSR,
00:02:12.060 the other one being, of course, the 1968 Prague Uprising.
00:02:17.060 differently between the two uprisings is the excuse me the Prague Spring differently between
00:02:26.240 the two uprisings the Hungarian attempt was actually a very short-lived attempt to pull
00:02:31.680 Hungary outside of the Warsaw the Warsaw Pact and that fundamentally then led Stalin to send
00:02:40.280 in the tanks i think 3 000 or so hungarians were killed 200 000 hungarians fled in the immediate 0.71
00:02:48.820 aftermath of that never to return so let's bring on balas orban he's been on the show before folks
00:02:58.060 you'll remember balas as the long-standing political director of victor orban and the
00:03:05.920 um former chairman of the board for the then magnificent now sadly suppressed matthias
00:03:14.980 corinus collegium that was doing such great work in protect protect promoting the values
00:03:21.200 of democracy law and order conservative values across continental europe balash welcome back on
00:03:29.260 to the show just um and i'm very grateful today i obviously realize that today of all days there
00:03:35.140 is a lot going on in Hungary so very grateful to you especially coming on the war room just
00:03:40.320 give us if you wouldn't mind before we start digging down because the parallels
00:03:44.540 they're there between 70 years ago and today obviously I don't want to be extreme about it
00:03:52.720 but there are certain trends that one can discern just as um as a Hungarian just if you wouldn't
00:03:59.680 mind share with us your thoughts and reflections on this anniversary and what it means to you
00:04:05.120 and to your country today.
00:04:07.940 Good evening and thank you very much, Ben, for having me again.
00:04:12.480 Of course, this is a beautiful day for us Hungarians.
00:04:17.160 We are very proud of our ancestors who took the fight
00:04:22.360 and made the uprising against the Soviet Union.
00:04:28.660 And even the Hungarian constitution says it out loud so openly
00:04:34.220 that our freedom, what we have, what we enjoy today
00:04:38.360 comes from the spirit of the 56th revolution.
00:04:43.540 So this day, it was a very sunny day.
00:04:49.220 Thousands and thousands of Hungarians are celebrating with pride
00:04:54.700 and they are enjoying the freedom
00:05:00.060 and it seems to me that they are ready to protect it if it's under pressure.
00:05:06.240 Absolutely.
00:05:07.220 I want to, in the second half of our interview with you,
00:05:10.900 I want to unpack a little bit some of the connections, the trends.
00:05:18.120 It's not what most political commentators would believe.
00:05:23.200 But first of all, let's go straight into the contemporary news
00:05:26.720 outside of the 70th anniversary today.
00:05:30.640 On Wednesday of this week,
00:05:32.680 the former governor of the Hungarian Central Bank,
00:05:39.440 Georgi Matolci, was arrested
00:05:42.640 under what are widely considered to be trumped-up charges,
00:05:47.780 but including, from what we know at the moment,
00:05:49.980 a misdemeanor and a felony charge.
00:05:53.780 And a couple of ministers were also ex-ministers.
00:05:56.720 were also arrested victor orban himself let me quote him directly because he was quite um
00:06:02.480 clear on this victor orban himself speaking about these arrests said that the point here is that the
00:06:10.880 uh the regime the new regime is simply trying to get to him they're arresting people so that
00:06:19.360 all they will say all they need to say is victor orban made me do it and then they're gonna then
00:06:25.840 they're gonna get sort of they'll get either charges dropped or lesser charges and they're
00:06:30.800 trying to put victor orban away in prison um how is how is the um the the new the new government
00:06:40.800 the new prime minister of peter magia how is that being seen in hungary right now because peter
00:06:47.120 magia is saying oh look you know we're going to do this we're going to recuperate all the stolen
00:06:52.960 assets but we need to do this via due process um due process which he says that the new hungarian
00:07:01.040 prime minister victor orban had suppressed but it seems to me one of the principal criteria
00:07:07.920 of due process is the presumption of innocence and the government and its allies in the media
00:07:13.840 are already talking as if it is an objective fact that both hungarian and european funds were stolen
00:07:20.880 um so they're talking about these things as being definitive objective reality on the one hand but
00:07:28.660 on the other hand especially to the international press they're saying oh no no we're going to
00:07:32.200 follow due process and law and order here can you try um well obviously you're not going to
00:07:37.820 reconcile these but tell me how this is going down amongst uh the political class in hungary
00:07:42.620 at the moment and amongst the hungarian people yeah so um the situation is uh is very complicated
00:07:50.960 right now it's hungary but it's not just a hungarian issue it has a takeaway uh for everybody
00:07:57.620 all the conservatives all over the western world because this is exactly how the liberals the real
00:08:04.040 authoritarian liberals uh behave they say one thing and they act and they do something um uh
00:08:11.460 different so what you know today was a symbolic day because Ursula von der Leyen the head of the
00:08:17.180 European Commission uh was there in Hungary she was the only uh significant state or like leader
00:08:25.620 political leader who accepted the invitation of uh Peter Magyar and she said openly that she's
00:08:32.240 finally is very happy with the election results, and she's finally feeling home in Hungary again.
00:08:40.780 So what happened in late springtime during the Hungarian elections is that the Brussels
00:08:48.360 power machinery, they used all the tools they had to achieve government change in Hungary.
00:08:58.380 They were withholding the money. They were using financial sanctions against the government.
00:09:03.780 They were politically blackmailing the country and the leaders.
00:09:08.200 They were using social media censorship.
00:09:12.800 At the end, they were just cutting the oil pipeline to risk the country's energy security.
00:09:18.640 And that was the elections.
00:09:19.860 And after that, they were celebrating together with Alex Soros and Hillary Clinton and the like-minded people.
00:09:27.020 And since then, they gave a green light, I think, the Brazilian bureaucrats to Peter Magyar to completely destroy the opposition, the political rivalry, the democracy in Hungary.
00:09:43.900 Why? Because they are afraid that they were lying to the people during the election campaign.
00:09:49.320 and they are afraid that people will, if the people will realize that, that they will turn
00:09:53.820 away from them and get back to Fidesz. So their first decision was to ban Viktor Orban of being
00:10:01.420 re-elected. Imagine the situation that Viktor Orban, we were accused 16 years of being an
00:10:08.040 autocrat, and when our opponents, you know, won and there was a smooth transition of power,
00:10:14.820 Their first decision was to ban Viktor Orban of being re-elected.
00:10:19.320 Then they banned half of the Fidesz politicians to run for office again.
00:10:23.380 Then they terminated the mandate of the president and the judges.
00:10:27.380 And they started the perch and the witch hunt against the Fidesz party.
00:10:31.800 There were the police raids in the party headquarter.
00:10:35.060 They collected all the data with the name of the supporters and the party members.
00:10:41.060 And they arrested conservative politicians, also a minister who was responsible of distributing cultural supports for artists and NGOs.
00:10:57.720 And his sin was that he was there to support conservative NGOs and artists as well.
00:11:04.780 So today, for example, his wife was present at the Fidesz 56 commemoration, and she was talking about his husband and what is happening with him.
00:11:24.720 And, of course, like the law enforcement agencies under the control of Peter Magyar, they want to put pressure on all people to say anything about Viktor Orban and the Fidesz leaders.
00:11:38.000 So they would have an argumentation to jail everything and to cancel the party.
00:11:46.580 It's really, we feel ourselves back again in the 50s.
00:11:50.880 It's a neo-communist way of operation.
00:11:53.420 and it's guided ordered and uh and managed from brussels it's very obvious today you've um you've
00:12:01.940 set me up perfectly here i want to pick up and tie all these themes then together with you um
00:12:08.480 after this short shout out to the sponsor of the show today birch gold let's start off with the
00:12:17.400 this this let's go with this article here in the financial times from last week which said how
00:12:23.240 investors were predicting new record prices for gold within two years that follows on the back
00:12:32.600 of the fact that president trump himself had said a couple of weeks ago that inflation is
00:12:41.240 a tool that might be used a solution to rebalancing the 40 trillion dollar u.s national debt that
00:12:50.440 america achieved back in august now to service that debt because of there's obviously the principal
00:12:59.480 and then the interest rate repayments to service that debt which is the national debt which is the
00:13:04.360 principal you have the interest rate the interest repayments and they are
00:13:10.600 presently at an annualized rate calculated to be 1.2 trillion now as
00:13:16.240 interest rates start to rise the servicing of that national debt is going
00:13:23.800 to become ever more expensive as well and forecasters are projecting the
00:13:29.500 interest rate repayments will come to two trillion dollars a year now what is that a lot of zeros
00:13:36.300 there what does that mean in reality well it certainly means at this moment in time america
00:13:41.660 is spending more on servicing its national debt than it's spending on military and warfare and
00:13:50.300 And as I always say when I make that statement,
00:13:57.720 America is the largest military industrial complex the world has ever known.
00:14:01.960 So to be spending more for that largest military industrial complex the world's ever known,
00:14:07.340 to be spending more on servicing the national debt
00:14:11.460 than actually servicing the ever-expanding appetite of that complex is quite some achievement.
00:14:19.740 And what this means for everyday Americans, as Steve Bannon points out constantly on this show, is that we are heading into times of turbulence.
00:14:30.480 And the point about President Trump, the point for you, is that the point when President Trump says inflation is a solution to diminishing away the national debt,
00:14:44.500 That means if you have savings in dollars, those will be flitted away at the same rate as the debt.
00:14:51.460 So you want to get those savings out of cash dollars and put them into an asset that can withstand that and not only withstand that, but also grow.
00:15:00.920 And that's why we on The War Room are very strongly suggesting that you try out a phone call to Perch Gold Group.
00:15:12.860 speak to philip patrick and his team they are the world experts in helping advise everyday americans
00:15:22.380 through simple proceeds like converting an old ira into an ira in physical gold
00:15:31.580 that's something that you can do now and it will help protect you for these coming
00:15:35.740 times of turbulence and folks you have a week if you want to take advantage of this special offer

00:16:36.140 give you that number again in the second half of the show all right let's go back and join balas
00:16:42.160 orban so balas as you were just saying and i quote you directly you said that the eu and it's
00:16:48.400 absolutely true the eu brussels tried every instrument every tool at its disposal to put
00:16:56.220 its thumb on the scale in the May elections in Hungary.
00:17:03.580 And here's the thing, here's the thing that strikes me as I was preparing for the show,
00:17:10.080 preparing the video that we had in as the cold open at the very beginning, which really
00:17:16.640 detailed the, I mean, the heroism of the Hungarians in 1956 is still talked about today, especially
00:17:24.160 with regards to in the context of resisting the ussr the then ussr the thing that strikes me
00:17:32.120 and i don't think anyone could have predicted this when the berlin war eventually fell is how
00:17:38.480 roles have been reversed because it strikes me that it's the eu now that has pretty much taken
00:17:46.160 on the role of the old USSR, including, but not limited to, interfering in Hungarian's
00:17:54.780 government.
00:17:55.600 I think, correct me if I'm wrong, but the prime minister at the time of the Hungarian
00:18:00.560 uprising was actually arrested after the Soviets sent the tanks in.
00:18:11.300 He was actually, Imre Nagy, he was actually arrested and then executed by the Soviets a couple of years later because he was doing what he could to support the Hungarian uprising and withdraw Hungary from the Warsaw Pact.
00:18:26.020 So not only has, on the one hand, the European Union, which is the successor to Western Europe, not only is that taking over the role of the USSR, and not just in Hungary, but dominating the political classes of all of its member state supplicants.
00:18:47.300 But Russia, which is the inheritor, at least territorially, of the USSR, is now one of the countries that's resisting that.
00:18:57.880 And I don't think anyone could have expected that turn of events.
00:19:01.780 Now, before handing over the word to you here, especially as we talk about the enlargement minister's statement that they're going to try and amend Article 7 of the Treaty of the European Union because they don't want any more Viktor Yorban.
00:19:19.540 So that's a very important manoeuvre on behalf of the EU to diminish member states' sovereignty and ability to defend its own peoples.
00:19:28.400 I just want to make one thing clear when I say that Russia is now opposing the new dictatorial EU.
00:19:36.180 I would make the claim that the first victims of the USSR were the Russian people themselves,
00:19:42.140 in exactly the same way that one can say today that the first victims of the CCP in China are the Chinese people.
00:19:50.620 I just want to make that clear so I'm not misunderstood.
00:19:54.060 Balazs, please.
00:19:55.400 If I may add one comment, Hungarian people are really freedom-loving people,
00:20:03.820 and we are a small country, a nation of 10 million,
00:20:08.060 but we really don't like to be governed from outside.
00:20:12.080 It doesn't matter whether this claim comes from the West or comes from the East.
00:20:17.040 So I think this is the only country on Earth where the popularity rate
00:20:23.080 of Zelensky, Putin, and Ursula von der Leyen
00:20:27.600 is an exact same law.
00:20:30.200 Why?
00:20:31.240 Because people in Hungary,
00:20:34.200 they don't like those who want to interfere.
00:20:37.040 They don't want to play the game of the big guys
00:20:43.200 because they know they are not acting 0.85
00:20:45.180 in the interest of Hungarians.
00:20:47.500 So they reject all these things from all directions
00:20:51.140 and they want to preserve their sovereignty.
00:20:53.080 If you want to understand what's going on in Europe specifically right now, I think my thesis is that a liberal authoritarian empire is under construction right now.
00:21:07.800 Why I'm saying this? Because Brussels, the Brussels institutional framework, the elite there, they have an agenda.
00:21:16.060 The agenda is that they want to fight a war.
00:21:21.040 They want to fight an enemy with an enemy which comes from outside.
00:21:25.640 It could be Russia. It could be China. It could be America.
00:21:28.820 It depends on the circumstances.
00:21:31.720 They want a multicultural society, not a continent of the nation states.
00:21:39.120 And they are ready to do anything what they can to defend this strategy and to execute this strategy.
00:21:48.640 Of course, the European people, they don't want to go to war.
00:21:53.260 They want peace and they don't want a multicultural society.
00:21:57.540 Just think about what happened in France and how a grassroots ordinary French people react on that.
00:22:08.100 So it's democratically, their strategy and the way they are executing it, it's not backed by the European people at all.
00:22:18.400 But they want to keep the power anyway to finish the projects.
00:22:24.120 So, therefore, in every single country, they use all their instruments, their entire toolkit, their money, their power, their influence, their media, their NGO networks, to stop the uprising of the people and the democratic resilience.
00:22:46.640 And this has not just happened in Hungary, where they were interfering to the election, and they were the catalyzing force behind the government change.
00:22:58.660 But this is happening in Germany, where they are talking about banning the most popular political party.
00:23:04.460 It is happening in France.
00:23:08.500 This week I was in Strasbourg, and we are in the same group with the French patriots,
00:23:16.840 Rassemblement National, the party of Le Pen and Madame Le Pen and Jordan Bardella.
00:23:22.180 And you know why France, so we were in France, in Strasbourg, and why France was burning
00:23:28.860 because the migrants were destroying the French cities, what did the police do? 0.61
00:23:35.740 they come to the office of the patriots because they started a fake investigation against Jordan
00:23:44.300 Bardella and there was police raids in the Strasbourg offices while literally in other 0.97
00:23:52.640 French cities those cities were burned to the ground by the migrants. Why? Because for the 1.00
00:23:59.980 European elite and for the French liberal elite, it is more important to keep the power than
00:24:06.200 anything else of being democratic at all, because if democracy wins, it would mean that they are
00:24:12.420 losing power. Let me just, if I may, synthesize what you were saying there, because it's a very
00:24:23.000 strong argument that you made your point about 1956 to today 70 years onwards is that um essentially
00:24:30.800 is this that the hungarian people heroically didn't resist totalitarian dictatorship for all
00:24:39.720 those years only to give away your freedom to a similar regime but but a regime arguing under
00:24:47.240 different slogans right you fought for your freedom and for your sovereignty in order to
00:24:51.640 able to exercise that yourselves as the hungarian people you what it wasn't about you just want you
00:24:56.400 it wasn't that you weren't happy with with the ussr form of empire but you're perfectly happy 0.85
00:25:01.720 with the eu form of empire you fought for your freedom because you wanted to exercise it
00:25:06.760 yes that's that's true so like hungarian uh people uh they don't want to get into confrontation
00:25:15.680 with russia the russian system is different than our system they have a different way of life we
00:25:22.720 are ready to cooperate them on economic fields but russia is in russia and hungary is hungary and we
00:25:29.500 should keep it that way and it's the same towards the west we hungarians we were always part of
00:25:36.380 the west because we were our countries in the middle of europe and actually we were in a medieval
00:25:42.720 period of time, we were the ones who were protecting Christian Europe against the Ottoman
00:25:48.680 conquerors.
00:25:50.800 So the Hungarian people are very proud Europeans, but they don't want to give up their sovereignty
00:25:58.300 for liberal hegemony or for liberal ideology.
00:26:02.700 And actually, the thing you were mentioning, that they are forcing new member states and
00:26:10.080 candidate states to give up sovereign to give up their foreign policy it's insane it shouldn't be

00:32:04.740 it's that time of the show that time of Friday evening when we know we've reached the weekend
00:32:12.120 after a long week it's Ryan the lion bridge uh with his updates on uh on the various legal
00:32:21.400 happenings Ryan good evening to you we also have we're very honored to have Abdul Bashir who's with
00:32:30.100 you we're bringing him on later in the segment there we go that's that's abdul now long time
00:32:37.300 viewers of the war room will remember abdul and we'll play the the video clip um in about 10
00:32:44.280 minutes time we'll remember abdul was the the driver for the um for the rac for our american
00:32:50.720 audience rac along with and the aaa are the uh the two largest automobile breakdown services in the
00:33:01.280 uk um and poor old abdul committed the cardinal sin of saying hello to ryan bridge cost him his
00:33:13.200 job we're gonna break that down the scandalous cowardly behavior by the way of rac they might
00:33:19.420 think they've got out of this slightly but they have no idea of the negative publicity they're
00:33:24.740 going to get for this we'll come abdul sits i will come to you in a moment when we're talking
00:33:30.680 because obviously that's going to go into the tribunal ryan i think you and me all are all we
00:33:37.580 do in our lives and it's the same for me here in italy all you and i all we do is that we work 27
00:33:44.280 seven hours, seven days a week in order to make rich lawyers even richer.
00:33:49.840 That's our basically vocation in life.
00:33:54.020 Fresh out today, right, is Oxfordshire County Council has produced to the court,
00:34:04.700 I don't think it's been sanctioned by, approved by the court yet,
00:34:08.580 but they've um they're hitting you for 48 000 pounds um in what they consider to be court costs
00:34:15.720 um what's the background to this oh yeah i've got and i've got a lot of background off denver i think
00:34:23.480 um so
00:34:24.540 then so yeah yeah with um with this this 48 000 pound bill that the court for court costs i've
00:34:36.600 received a barrage of um letters bills um invoices i've received so much paperwork from oxfordshire
00:34:48.740 county council and the and the law firm that pursued the case against us for the flag removals
00:34:54.780 in the county of oxfordshire for when i raised the flags let me just stop you just if i may on
00:35:01.240 that point here um and i'll remind our long-standing viewers and perhaps inform viewers that
00:35:08.200 haven't caught up with the show for some time the background here is that when you say that you had
00:35:16.060 to pay for the taking down of these flags i want to point out that you and your volunteers
00:35:21.600 put around 200,000 of the St. George's Cross
00:35:27.340 and the Union Jack flag up on lampposts around the country.
00:35:33.200 Oxfordshire County Council, Birmingham City Council,
00:35:36.800 they claim that these are public safety issues
00:35:39.920 and they are basically constrained by law
00:35:43.240 to pull these flags down at your expense,
00:35:48.200 Whereas neighbouring councils, is it Cambridgeshire, have said we're not going to spend a single penny of taxpayers' money pulling these flags down because there's nothing wrong with them.
00:35:59.660 So it's clearly a political thing, masquerading as a public order, public health, public safety issue.
00:36:07.240 Close brackets, carry on and explain how they are possibly justifying a £48,000 legal fee.
00:36:18.200 Well, Ben, the worry is that people like Birmingham City Council
00:36:22.920 who have copied and mimicked what Oxford done.
00:36:25.800 Now, Oxford give us the undertaking where we would receive, you know,
00:36:31.080 no fixed penalty, no cost and no injunction.
00:36:34.180 They have now given us a legal bill for their fees of £48,000.
00:36:39.660 So what comes to mind, and obviously we're going to fight it
00:36:42.940 because Raise the Colors fights everything.
00:36:44.680 Now, the worry to me is that Birmingham City Council
00:36:47.920 who we're on day three of our trial which is second of november and obviously you guys will
00:36:52.380 get the exclusive the worry for me then is that the birmingham city council they have had barristers
00:36:59.260 in out don't know what they're doing what they're saying it's so up in the air this court case
00:37:03.660 so this is going to go into hundreds of thousands um and that is the worry for us at raise the
00:37:09.560 because it's all out of public purse and and yes we didn't win the oxford one but i've got great
00:37:17.160 confidence that we're going to go all the way with Birmingham um we've got it adjourned we've
00:37:21.700 got it adjourned again they've gone back they've gone back they keep going back to the drawing
00:37:24.700 board because it's it's I feel it's inhumane what they're doing they want to put powers of arrest
00:37:29.860 upon me for encouraging people to enjoy looking at a flag flown and I think it's an absolute
00:37:37.120 disgrace I think it's it's human rights articles 10 and 11 which you which you know um
00:37:43.140 i can tell you from my experience here in italy the strap they don't pay when you're fighting the
00:37:51.300 state legally they don't pay right they whether they win whether they lose they don't pay the
00:37:56.500 taxpayer pays um you on the other hand you under the public purse the taxpayers private citizens
00:38:04.660 pay whether they win whether they lose they have to pay for their own representation their strategy
00:38:10.700 is to drive you into bankruptcy that is their that is the actual strategy of what they are
00:38:16.560 trying to do everything else is is legal politics the actual strategy is to drive you into bankruptcy
00:38:23.580 um because they could because they have unlimited they have an unlimited supply of your money
00:38:30.380 you don't have an unlimited supply of money yeah ben and that's why we're on day three of of the
00:38:38.140 trial in in Birmingham and I just want to say that thank you to you guys and thank you to everybody
00:38:44.080 in in Britain and across the world that believes in patriotism unity togetherness
00:38:49.420 and believes that we should fly our flag with great pride that has supported us at
00:38:54.680 raisethecolours.org.uk because we have now got an exclusive to tell you on the war room
00:39:00.740 we have got two barristers now we've got two barristers that are going to be turning up
00:39:05.680 in court to fight the government-funded
00:39:11.320 Birmingham City Council on the 2nd of November.
00:39:14.820 So you'll be glad tonight.
00:39:15.940 Fantastic.
00:39:17.660 We'll push out at the end the Raise the Colours website.
00:39:21.980 Donations, we're not even asking for merch right now.
00:39:26.020 It's pure donations.
00:39:27.200 This is in full-on existential fight, the legal system mode.
00:39:33.740 All right, Ryan, stand by.
00:39:35.200 we're going to pick up with with abdul and explain where he's going now with with the legal troubles
00:39:40.740 and just a couple of moments after i did give a quick shout out to the show sponsors of a birch
00:39:47.040 gold group i did give all the details in the first half of the show how president trump has
00:39:53.300 indicated inflation is a tool that the government can use to whittle away their national debt i
00:40:00.240 indicated the financial times was was mentioning how investors are expecting gold to reach record
00:40:11.480 highs and i quote that record highs within two years folks get yourselves on that train before
00:40:17.520 it leaves the platform speak to philip patrick and his team today at birch gold group um and
00:40:25.400 gold's a pretty good price right now actually um if you're thinking about buying some get on that
00:40:29.940 train now and as i was saying that birch gold have a special offer between now and the 30th
00:40:36.980 of october where for every ten thousand dollars of qualifying purchases you can get one silver
00:40:45.460 round a silver coin a patriotic silver round and there is um there's no limit to those that you
00:40:54.180 you can take advantage of. Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-N-O-N to 989898 or go to birchgold.com forward
00:41:04.460 slash Bannon. All right, let's, before we hear from Abdul himself, let's remind ourselves
00:41:13.660 how this all started.
00:41:14.660 An award-winning Birmingham repairman was sacked by the RAC after he was filmed in Bracing
00:41:20.360 controversial Raise the Colors founder, Ryan Bridge. Dad of three, Abdul Bashir, was fired
00:41:25.180 from gross misconduct after the footage, which showed him in uniform and in front of the
00:41:29.660 RAC van, was posted on social media.
00:41:50.360 Yeah, definitely, mate, definitely.
00:42:07.040 So, Abdul Bashir, great honour for us to have you on the war room.
00:42:13.140 As you can see, it was a very short pit stop there,
00:42:16.740 but a minute or so of your time.
00:42:20.360 Just in patriotic, driven by patriotism and love of your country, Abdul Bashir, you have been sacked by the RAC.
00:42:36.160 I've read all of the correspondence, Ryan very kindly sent it to me, that you had with RAC, that RAC have had with you.
00:42:44.120 They pretended to go through the motions and consider all of your concerns.
00:42:47.800 It's pretty clear to me that everything else is just window dressing.
00:42:53.640 They are concerned that you, in the RIC van, in your RIC uniform,
00:43:01.000 stopped and shook hands with Ryan Bridge.
00:43:03.920 That is their problem because they are fundamentally a large corporation.
00:43:10.540 They are embarrassed, as most large corporations are,
00:43:14.200 of the idea of patriotism, and they sacked you.
00:43:17.800 And the rest of it was just a justification, searching for pretexts, looking for justifications, looking for pretexts.
00:43:28.840 And I saw the correspondence, the final conclusive correspondence to you dated this week where they say that matter is now closed.
00:43:37.380 You are sacked.
00:43:40.960 That might be the end of the system for them, but it's not the end of it's not the end of the process for you.
00:43:47.460 I think from what you're saying, what Ryan has been telling me,
00:43:51.700 this is just the beginning now of the process
00:43:54.760 because you'll be taking them to a tribunal.
00:43:58.020 That's right.
00:43:59.060 Obviously, they're giving the outcome on Tuesday.
00:44:01.940 They're prolonging, obviously, because we have a window of three months,
00:44:05.480 minus one day for a large appeal for a tribunal.
00:44:09.160 But obviously, they've had the case for about five weeks
00:44:11.440 and they're prolonging it, waiting time, basically,
00:44:14.720 and they come back to a conclusion.
00:44:15.620 we're sticking to our decision and we're going to sack you that's it final do what you gotta do
00:44:20.260 and that's it basically so what what these people have done is they have they have dragged it out
00:44:26.580 so he can't now appeal and so the pressure stops and the voices go quiet and it makes them have
00:44:34.100 an easier time to then give him the final dismissal but we now are going to come together
00:44:39.460 um and we are going to fight this for abdul and we're going to take it all the way to a tribunal
00:44:43.940 We think that it's completely disgusting that we're friends.
00:44:47.920 Abdul agrees with flying the flag of his country, of my country,
00:44:51.960 of our country, together in unity.
00:44:55.220 And yet again, the woke, liberal, middle-class lefties
00:44:59.680 don't like unity.
00:45:01.900 And what it does, it stops them, Ben,
00:45:04.420 from calling me a racist or far-right,
00:45:07.620 or I'm using the flag as division,
00:45:09.740 or I'm using the flag to cause a divide in a community,
00:45:12.540 when what I was doing was bringing communities together,
00:45:15.740 even though we're friends anyway.
00:45:18.040 You know, and as you can see, I'm wearing, you know, the poppy.
00:45:21.840 Abdul wears the poppy.
00:45:23.200 This is our country. This is Great Britain.
00:45:25.920 And yes, the message is we are all against people breaking into our country illegally, 0.97
00:45:32.080 the illegal invasion. 0.99
00:45:33.460 We're all against that.
00:45:35.060 But these people in the hierarchy of the RAC have listened to the emails
00:45:40.400 that they have been sent by thousands upon thousands
00:45:44.260 of the people from the left that hide behind the keyboards.
00:45:48.000 And unfortunately, Abdul has been the unlucky person
00:45:51.120 that has stopped, said hi, been sacked.
00:45:54.860 That's it, yeah.
00:45:55.940 And you're deeply...
00:45:56.960 Yeah, yeah.
00:45:57.820 The guy's got three children, grandchild, you know, and it's...
00:46:02.060 Because then the way they've done it,
00:46:03.680 obviously, like you said, it's just quieting the situation,
00:46:06.520 and next thing you know, after five weeks,
00:46:08.420 They said, no, we're keeping the decision as it is.
00:46:11.780 You can do what you've got to do.
00:46:12.780 And that's it.
00:46:14.020 And this is the RAC, Ben.
00:46:15.700 This is one of the biggest corporations in our country.
00:46:19.580 It's a disgrace.
00:46:21.200 They tried, and then it was almost,
00:46:26.420 if it weren't so tragic for personal reasons,
00:46:30.440 one could actually laugh at this.
00:46:32.220 They tried to suggest that this was gross misconduct
00:46:35.640 on abdul's part because he was in the middle of a call supposed to be in the middle of a call
00:46:41.080 responding to a breakdown and then of course you guys looked into that and said well hang on no no
00:46:46.400 the court had been cancelled because there was a hoax call that breakdown services do occasionally
00:46:51.540 get um and that that you weren't on call and uh and you weren't going to to assist at a roadside
00:46:57.680 breakdown and then they sort of tried to walk that down um walk that walk that position back
00:47:03.500 But that was the principal reason behind which they were trying to claim gross misconduct.
00:47:10.380 Ryan, you are absolutely correct in your analysis of why they have a zero tolerance on this,
00:47:16.220 because the regime in the UK wants and has for many decades depicted patriotism
00:47:24.780 And anyone showing any affection for the flag of their country as racists, not patriots, as racists, as white supremacists, as Islamophobes, and all this.
00:47:42.340 Those are the pejoratives, Ryan Bridge, that they throw at you every day.
00:47:46.080 If you have Abdel Bashir just stopping on a roadside, shaking your hand, saying, well done, mate, support what you're doing, and then driving off, that destroys the narrative that the patriotism, the flag-waving patriotism in the country is the preserve of a far right that is, as they like to suggest,
00:48:14.260 just a few steps away from overthrowing the democratic norms of the country that's why it's
00:48:21.040 so important abdul that they show you zero tolerance on this because they cannot possibly 0.99
00:48:26.700 allow that narrative to be broken there are only two occasions when brits are allowed to fly the
00:48:33.400 flag effectively at football matches rugby matches and the last night of the proms that's basically
