this is what you're fighting for I mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing
00:00:11.680
people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the
00:00:18.660
authoritarians get total control and total power because this is just like in Arizona this is just
00:00:24.580
like in Georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and
00:00:29.320
misrepresentations is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is
00:00:33.600
the fight all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's
00:00:40.640
your host Stephen K Bannon okay Monday 5 February 2024 what a day what a way to kick off a week what
00:00:48.940
a way to kick off a month I'm telling you the world's on fire right now for good reason I want
00:00:54.580
to bring in John Henry Weston one of the most respected guys in kind of Catholic news throughout
00:01:00.140
the world over at LifeSite News one of the most revered and respected news sites John Henry and
00:01:05.120
I think you signed this get our audience because they're coming after the evangelicals on one hand
00:01:10.900
and they're coming after the traditional Catholics on the other and one of the reasons they're saying
00:01:15.060
is that all of us are Christian nationalists right which they deem as these domestic threat and it's
00:01:19.800
now starting to spread throughout the world that this is the these are the worst people in the world
00:01:22.900
these Christian nationalists there was a letter sent last week to the Pope it's caused a firestorm
00:01:29.520
I think you're one of the drafters are we certainly one of the signatories what what is it what does the
00:01:35.080
letter say how did it come about and why is it caused like a international news meltdown
00:01:40.120
so one of the things going on is right before Christmas Pope Francis promoted something to the shock
00:01:47.100
of everyone was allowing for the blessing of same-sex couples it was so startling it was
00:01:55.000
it was insane it's what Germany had been doing it's what Belgium had been doing but everybody thought
00:02:00.760
oh the citizens are going to put an end to that it's going to you know he's going to walk it back
00:02:04.120
well no Pope Francis himself signs on the document by Cardinal Fernandez who's now the head of the
00:02:10.220
dicastery for the doctrine of faith saying you can bless same-sex couples so huge reaction in fact
00:02:17.080
what happens is cardinals who were formerly at the Vatican in fact the very one who headed up the
00:02:22.560
same department from which the letter came from the congregation then congregation of doctrine faith
00:02:27.280
Cardinal Gerhard Miller he comes out saying absolutely not in a way Cardinal Robert Serra you know
00:02:33.180
great cardinal from Africa that was looked up to as a head of the congregation for divine worship
00:02:38.000
also rejects it so these are totally just retired uh Vatican sort of department chiefs if you will
00:02:45.480
and then all of Africa all of Africa rejects it and yet the Pope uh in in a follow-up to that
00:02:53.760
says he's opposed on it by small ideological groups there's no small groups so the letter then was
00:02:59.860
made by a bunch of scholars as well as journalists to write to the Vatican and it's really even though
00:03:07.060
it's directed to the Vatican it says you have to withdraw it it's actually directed to the bishops
00:03:11.900
we're aiming for the good bishops of the world to join their brother bishops in Africa to say
00:03:17.540
absolutely no to this Bishop Strickland just signed on to this and it's very very difficult because to
00:03:24.620
understand what it means they're saying it is approving the blessing of same-sex couples
00:03:29.700
at the same time they're trying to say oh we're not blessing the unions we're still regarding it as
00:03:35.380
sinful therefore we're not going to say this is not marriage Steve you remember when they were
00:03:40.800
pulling same-sex marriage over Canada over America or all the cities in Europe or the countries in
00:03:45.360
Europe what do they do do they come in with same-sex marriage right away no it was all about civil
00:03:50.120
unions we were even told civil unions so that they won't have marriage this is couples to get to unions
00:03:55.980
to get to marriage and to be honest I hate to say this but it's true if you want to be able to
00:04:05.100
interpret what Francis means because it's another ambiguous document use the hermeneutic of Francis
00:04:11.340
use the interpretation of Francis himself a few years ago there was a big controversy because Francis
00:04:16.300
was approving of same-sex civil unions he did it in a book he did it in a movie oh it was grave
00:04:22.400
controversy people were trying to say oh he didn't mean that he didn't mean yet the words are there
00:04:26.100
that he's on video saying it when he appoints cardinals who does he appoint all the pro-homosexualist
00:04:32.580
cardinals in America Gregory, Cupich, Tobin and it just keeps on going and which priest does he work
00:04:42.780
with most in America um and and by the way on the cardinals he gets rid of Cardinal Burke um and appoints
00:04:49.600
Cupich and company but then which priest does he work with most you know a father Frank Pavone no no
00:04:55.880
he gets cancelled but father James Martin the most homosexual promoting priest in America him he works
00:05:02.520
with not only did he call him to speak at a Vatican conference and appoint him as advisor to the Vatican
00:05:06.580
on one of the on one of the um pontifical councils he also meets with him three and four times
00:05:12.300
and answers the questions from his LGBT group that he started so there is a way of understanding what
00:05:19.980
Pope Francis means you just look at what Pope Francis does that is the hermeneutic of how to
00:05:25.700
understand what's going on here John Henry help me out here in the Episcopal Church when Archbishop
00:05:32.760
had this big blow up a couple of years ago and particularly in that's Anglican communion but it
00:05:37.800
particularly in North America the Episcopal Church the African bishops once again are like the
00:05:43.100
conservative Rocker Gibraltar about teachings now you see in the Catholic Church what is going on in
00:05:49.580
Africa they're under assault by the Muslims they're under assault by everything how is it that both in
00:05:55.580
the Anglican communion and in the Catholic Church people are looking for the African bishops to be kind
00:06:01.160
of the the the the grounding force here how did how did that happen on the issue of the family on the
00:06:08.900
protection of the sanctity of marriage it's the only place on earth that has remained firm why well
00:06:15.500
they've got an African culture of course but this is one thing I don't like Pope Francis actually said
00:06:22.260
well they're culturally bound therefore he gave them an escape and he said oh it doesn't you know they
00:06:26.840
don't have to do these blessings actually wrong they get the faith you can't be so it's almost
00:06:35.260
racist to suggest oh they're bound by their culture so they can't get the faith if they got the faith
00:06:39.300
then they'd understand that Jesus was wrong and St. Paul was wrong and really homosexuality is just fine
00:06:45.720
and good and really what they meant is that two people who love each other than just get together has
00:06:49.840
nothing to do with procreation wrong the bishops of Africa get it yes their culture helps and it helps
00:06:56.640
to have a culture that still pro marriage so that 95 98 percent of the congregants in your parish
00:07:04.400
are not going to tolerate you going offside and having a boyfriend as a priest or or approving of
00:07:10.520
or blessing of same-sex unions so that is where it has stayed strong um and the Anglicans have tried
00:07:18.140
now for 30 years to get their bishops to try to prove same-sex blessings and homosexual blessings
00:07:24.060
and homosexual marriages it's not going and it's not going to work either with the Catholic bishops
00:07:29.080
it was interesting too on um it was actually January of last year um the Pope suggested that
00:07:37.020
the African bishops need to convert in the area of these anti-sodomy laws and rules that they have
00:07:45.100
John Henry uh traditional Catholics obviously the FBI you've had the the roll-up of of people
00:07:53.220
praying at uh at abortion centers you had the kicking down the doors of traditional Catholics
00:07:58.140
you had the FBI memo that the Latin mass groups which my it was about to perish my parents uh helped
00:08:04.340
start back in the late 70s for uh for the tridentine um the tridentine service um their their breeding
00:08:12.460
ground for domestic terrorists is this letter is this the opening salvo you think on a broader
00:08:17.420
uh discussion within the church about the direction of the church that actually could lead to a schism
00:08:23.980
I would hope that this would be about a broader discussion in the church the schism will be and
00:08:33.940
it's almost going on now but it's not by traditional Catholics who's going into schism is Pope Francis
00:08:40.540
himself because he's teaching a different doctrine remember what the scriptures say about the teaching
00:08:45.020
of the church Paul writes Saint Paul even if I or an angel from heaven were to come and preach a
00:08:52.620
different gospel let him be anathema and that's the difficulty we have six documents official
00:08:58.880
documents in the church right now that seem to be heretical you had scholars bishops all appeal to
00:09:05.160
Pope Francis please please please don't do this don't go down here don't do the Pachamama don't do the
00:09:10.920
the all religions are equal dance that he's been doing yet no one seems to have been able to get to
00:09:18.040
them it's also because there's not a strong united voice the best of bishops say you know
00:09:24.100
well we have to try and interpret it in a way that they have to do mental gymnastics to do to do that
00:09:29.640
and yet it's very clear if you look at Francis at his example his hermeneutic if you will the whole wide
00:09:38.140
world understands what this is that's why you have you know Newsweek everybody praising Francis for this
00:09:44.940
great move and yet all the bishops the good bishops in America and elsewhere who are trying
00:09:50.680
not to say anything are saying nope nothing to see here is still all Catholic teaching is just fine
00:09:56.640
yet it says the document says it's about the blessing of same-sex couples and then what does
00:10:02.820
that mean well it's pretty obvious when you look at Francis what he means
00:10:05.880
John Henry Weston where can people follow you this is an exploding story with global implications
00:10:14.640
and massive implications in the United States because many of the leaders of this are from

00:10:47.320
first thing in the morning every day John Henry Weston thank you so much for your leadership your
00:10:51.580
great journalism great to be with you Steve thank you so much God bless you thanks let's go to Rome
00:10:57.380
and our own Ben Harnwell Ben uh first this is where you and I started off our journey together about
00:11:03.060
these types of topics give me your perspective before we get into the more mundane Ukraine war
00:11:09.980
farmers we'll go from the sublime to the less sublime
00:11:13.920
good uh good afternoon Steve yeah well look the Catholic I don't like saying what I'm gonna have
00:11:20.700
to say now because I don't want to scandalize our great evangelical brethren um who uh who who watch
00:11:29.100
this show um because I don't like what washing the Catholic Church is dirty laundry um right in
00:11:36.800
public but the truth is this the Catholic Church has been what is called the Catholic Church many
00:11:41.880
people say it's not actually the true uh church of Jesus Christ um founded by Christ um what is
00:11:51.040
considered to be popularly the Catholic Church has been the institution that is to say has been
00:11:56.320
meltdown since the mid-60s and the second Vatican Council this is the sordid truth uh for the last
00:12:03.580
basically six decades we have had we Catholics have had a make it up as you go along religion
00:12:10.560
and it's been happening year by year decade by decade and this is is now just the end product of this
00:12:18.120
um but if you are basically without going into into inside baseball here but if you are a novus
00:12:24.100
auto Catholic um this is what you signed up for right folks if you are just an ordinary standard
00:12:30.960
you go to mass your regular Paris mass on Sunday this is exactly what you signed up for
00:12:35.760
if you accept unquestioningly all of the all of the the the popes at the Catholic Church since 1958
00:12:43.700
since Pope Pius XII um have proposed as popes and they've been changing the post that they've been
00:12:50.000
basically boiling the water with the frogs in it for the last 60 years then you're going to end up
00:12:54.280
with this situation and as John Henry said even if uh quoting St. Paul even if you had an angel of
00:12:59.160
light with a new gospel this is you know Francis is not even dressed up as an as a as an angel of
00:13:06.540
light right you know often on I get people commenting on my getter feed saying that you know he's a
00:13:11.640
wolf in sheep's clothing I have the same response I've had the same response for three years since
00:13:16.560
I've been on getting he's not a wolf in sheep's clothing he's a wolf in wolf's clothing he's
00:13:21.160
exactly right he's exactly what you what you know there are no subtlety he's a globalist
00:13:27.280
possibly I think atheist a man who deeply hates the traditional Catholic faith only probably anything
00:13:35.180
he hates more than the traditional Catholic faith are traditional Catholics um there's no pretense
00:13:40.580
that he's he sees his job as safeguarding the unchanging faith as it's come down to us
00:13:46.340
from the apostles he's been trying to to change it every single moment and look at who his ally
00:13:52.560
allies are Steve they're just the global they they are our sociopathic overlords the globalists
00:13:58.580
in fact on getter I call him the um the honorary chaplain of the new new world order because that's
00:14:04.880
what he sees his role as it's certainly not as the successor of St. Peter I don't recognize him as pope
00:14:10.020
um but if you do perhaps it's a moment to take a quiet reflection and say look look this is not
00:14:16.760
what I had signed up for it's not what my family has signed up for I want to be a fervent believing
00:14:21.800
Catholic believing the Catholic uh Christian faith um and then look around there's a whole wealth of
00:14:28.680
information out there on the internet right the answers are pretty much there if you have the
00:14:33.380
courage to follow them um and then in prayer and in discernment
00:14:40.020
uh try and try and work out uh the path forward but if you blindly accept this man who I say is a
00:14:46.420
wolf in wolf's clothing if you blindly accept him as this dude basically the lazy option say okay look
00:14:51.840
he's the pope I'm just gonna accept whatever he does okay this is no look around you this is what
00:14:56.900
you have signed up for I don't recognize it I don't accept it and I'm trying my best to hold to the
00:15:02.640
traditional Catholic faith and by the way just going back to the evangelical point here I find myself
00:15:07.480
with affinity to to believe in conservative evangelicals I see in them far more of a of a
00:15:13.860
fraternal affinity than I have with 99 percent of so-called pseudo-Catholics Steve
00:15:19.560
uh before we put another topic you said you don't accept him as your pope what do we have an option
00:15:28.040
this is really uh the question for perhaps a Saturday afternoon deep dive look formerly look
00:15:37.940
I can't tell you because I can't I don't have any position of authority here in the Catholic church to
00:15:43.140
offer pastoral guidance I tell you what I have not accepted him as pope definitively um since he said
00:15:49.860
that Jesus three years ago he said that Jesus Christ in his earthly life wasn't divine uh that is
00:15:56.620
I mean that's not even I mean it's not even heresy right because all branches of Christians believe
00:16:03.020
in the divinity of Jesus Christ that is what that is the most essential fundamental point of being a
00:16:08.560
Christian that you believe that Jesus Christ is God this man who calls himself pope is recognized as pope
00:16:14.200
doesn't believe it and he justified it he said that the fact that Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane
00:16:20.680
prayed to the father uh that the that the that the and that the chalice be passed from him and not
00:16:27.580
as I will though father as you are he said that was evidence that he wasn't that he wasn't a divine
00:16:32.580
being but I mean the guy I mean I don't know if he's ignorant or acting in bad faith or if he's
00:16:37.320
incompetent he doesn't seem to know that basically the elements of of of things like the hyperstatic
00:16:42.960
union that the the Catholic church this is before the reformation so I said the Catholic church when
00:16:47.980
there was only one church uh the Catholic church worked worked these things out in sort of the
00:16:52.440
third fourth fifth symphonies centuries and what we have now is is is basically the product of those
00:16:59.200
ecumenical councils he's ignorant I don't know he I don't know as I said if he's just incompetent
00:17:04.660
if he's acting in bad faith I think he's acting in bad faith um it's not possible that someone can
00:17:10.540
reach that those heights of of the ecclesiastical chain and be ignorant of these things so when he says
00:17:16.940
this I I've seen him acting in bad faith but from that moment forth I do not recognize him Steve
00:17:21.180
I do not recognize him and therefore I'm not bothered not bothered by these by these doctrinal
00:17:26.860
changes and these possible changes because I just ignore him uh people should know when I met Ben
00:17:34.100
we've been working together I know for about a decade this was his this was his line of work and
00:17:38.680
it's one of the most brilliant guys I know and a convert the Catholicism I might add uh Ben I I want
00:17:44.000
to hold the farmers everything else we got right wing I just got enough time to give us an update
00:17:48.400
because this is now becoming central because of this fight over the budget and over the supplemental
00:17:53.740
about Ukraine because that's the centerpiece just get our audience up to date on what I call the soft
00:17:58.620
military coups Zelensky now over the weekend has changed it that he might get rid of a whole slew of
00:18:03.880
senior officials to try to cover uh the bad news that that his military chief is revered Victoria
00:18:10.680
Newland looked like she went over to kind of salvage things what's an update well Steve there is no
00:18:16.880
update this is the great astonishing thing here that this CNN led the world's media uh towards the
00:18:23.640
close of last week um scooping their their their their special sources which had assured them
00:18:29.520
that CNN that is the Ukrainians had assured CNN that um Zelensky would be gone by Friday
00:18:35.880
um and he's not gone um so I I don't trust those there's no there's basically no update on this
00:18:43.020
we were promised from an hour by hour that this was all in motion and and this is I think the
00:18:48.560
astonishing thing that uh that everything has been frozen I think this shows a tremendous weakness
00:18:54.440
um the longer this goes unresolved it shows uh President Zelensky and a weaker and weaker position
00:19:01.860
even for example Newsweek I'll just read out this headline here because I think it's perfectly
00:19:05.800
illustrated Zelensky in a bind over tough commanders future that's really the situation
00:19:11.300
out of the world's media is starting to pick up on that that what was supposed to be a power move
00:19:16.480
on behalf of Zelensky to assert his authority it's just um an astonishing display of weakness
00:19:22.840
now talking about the press the Washington Post look Steve when this when this thing broke you might
00:19:29.120
remember I came on it was live um 11 p.m Rome time I came on the show um with with this latest news
00:19:37.340
that that there's something going on um in Ukraine and we said what did we say Steve we said the
00:19:44.820
astonishing thing here is that it appears that America and the UK haven't been consulted this was
00:19:50.360
confirmed uh uh later on by by the times amongst others saying that that his western allies hadn't
00:19:56.940
been consulted and in fact Zelensky had been fired for a few hours on Monday and while Zelensky was
00:20:05.140
speaking to two generals to see if they would take his place that's when the UK and the US from reading
00:20:12.260
this from social media came into play and put pressure on Zelensky to back down okay now so we
00:20:19.040
said what did we say on the war room Steve what was our hot take on the war room we said that this is
00:20:23.600
very damaging for President Biden who's supposed to be a stalwart ally of this regime not even to
00:20:29.580
have been consulted those words Steve uh and we were the only organization I think to make that
00:20:34.880
particular observation that that insight must have stung because the Washington Post over the weekend
00:20:40.320
came out with this astonishing article saying no no no no the uh the the the US had been um had been
00:20:47.100
consulted and said that it didn't have any um any objections to make see this is frankly flatly you
00:20:54.540
can just reject this out of hand it's not true and it can't possibly be true here's why here's how you
00:21:00.720
know this can't be true because the whole of the past week Steve the world's media was wondering
00:21:05.360
whether there's a military coup about to take place in uh in Kiev in in Ukraine and the Biden
00:21:12.520
administration didn't say a single word it would have been the easiest thing for them to have done
00:21:17.120
to come out and say we've been consulted on this we've said to Zelensky do what you need to do we'll
00:21:23.180
support you whatever that would have quelled a lot of tension and a lot of um instability in Ukraine
00:21:29.620
and and the surrounding area the White House didn't say anything because the truth is it had no idea what
00:21:34.980
was going on like the rest of us that's why Victoria Newland flew on her emergency uh visit to Kiev that
00:21:43.360
was you can see Steve you pointed out at the time how hastily that supposed press conference had been
00:21:48.260
thrown together um that's basically the embassy picks up the phone and says she's landing in half an
00:21:53.740
hour get everything ready that's how much preparation they had but that's because the state department did
00:21:58.840
not know what was going on so when the Washington Post comes out and and cites um an administration
00:22:05.360
an administration source saying no no the the U.S. was consulted that shows how how how seriously they
00:22:10.960
take us the very opposite is the truth um the U.S. isn't taken remotely seriously by Zelensky um and I
00:22:18.080
think as a number of other uh sources in the media had suggested Zelensky is going to own whatever happens
00:22:25.160
now he's going to own the consequences of whatever happens now the you have two things number one the
00:22:33.020
the military chief they put the burden on him on the 500,000 new recruits they can't fight there's
00:22:38.360
no spring offensive unless they restock this army uh because they've taken such huge casualties on
00:22:43.980
essentially defending you know what they've got the really spring offensive is just throwing bodies
00:22:48.500
uh into a charnel house for nothing he's being blamed for that but he's telling them hey we can't
00:22:54.000
that many people it's just not going to work and Zelensky doesn't want to hear it at the same time
00:22:58.500
you have on Capitol Hill there's going to be a huge fight over this Ukraine money Biden's put no plan
00:23:04.600
together what's next year what's the following year but you can't put money into a single even people
00:23:09.880
that support this Ukrainian cause don't you believe they have to realize that this is a government that's
00:23:15.180
coming apart I mean Zelensky over the weekend said well it's not just the military commander I may
00:23:19.400
replace four or five other senior people uh it is a government that's coming that's that's spinning
00:23:25.220
out of control and coming unwound the last thing the last thing the United States needs to do is put
00:23:30.300
60 billion dollars and people are lying about the European deal it's not 50 billion uh euros it's it's
00:23:37.520
24 billion euros over two years so it's basically a 12 billion dollar for the first year 12 billion for
00:23:42.840
the second and then they have an option which they'll never agree to so the funding sources are drying up
00:23:48.480
and here in the United States a big part of this debate is going to be what's happening in Kyiv
00:23:52.920
because it seems like it's uh it's coming unwound sir see that that analysis is spot on and all I can
00:24:00.660
do is repeat what we said on the war room last week another factor that must be in play here and it seems
00:24:06.740
to be absent from the Senate's uh discussion on this in presenting that its final draft bill on this
00:24:13.480
who whom is the United States going to be giving this money to if if they were in a situation where
00:24:21.640
the civilian government's future is in jeopardy and there might be a coup and this is every possibility
00:24:27.760
that this could be the case and we now have we will have a military junta um running Ukraine a
00:24:34.740
dictatorship how on earth now how on earth can the Biden administration say we're in this to defend
00:24:41.100
democracy when the Ukrainian government will have uh be a military uh government overthrowing having
00:24:47.660
overthrown the civilian government and this year there's a presidential election where Putin's standing
00:24:54.500
for re-election in a perfectly well I won't say it's perfectly uh regular but it is at least an election
00:25:01.820
um how on earth do we then how does the west the allies in the west still maintain that we're in this
00:25:07.420
to preserve um democracy that argument's been increasingly threadbare steep for the last two
00:25:13.380
years thanks largely to Zelensky's own maneuvers in Ukraine so this is a question that the United
00:25:18.900
States Congress must work out before it gives us another single red cent to um to Ukraine and I
00:25:26.020
hope you know hopefully it won't give another penny at all but it needs to find out it needs to be sure
00:25:31.220
that there is a civilian government in Ukraine because it cannot be funding a military dictatorship

senator we try to under understand the uh the feedback and and how people feel about the services
00:31:05.820
we can improve what a minute your own your own study says that you make life worse for one in three
00:31:12.320
teenage girls for years you've been coming in public and testifying under oath that there's
00:31:16.780
absolutely no link your product is wonderful the science is nascent full speed ahead while
00:31:22.060
internally you know full well your product is a disaster for teenagers my question is who did
00:31:29.500
you fire for this senator we study all this because it's important we want to improve our services
00:31:35.180
well you just told me a second ago you studied it but that there was no linkage
00:31:37.820
fire senator this is why we're building all who did you fire tools senator that's i don't think
00:31:43.440
that that's who did you fire i'm not going to answer that um that's because you didn't fire anybody
00:31:48.840
right you didn't take any significant action it's appropriate hey everyone today i'm bringing meta's
00:31:54.640
two ai research efforts closer together to support our long-term goals of building general intelligence
00:32:01.140
open sourcing it responsibly and making it available and useful to everyone in all of our daily lives
00:32:07.080
people are also going to need new devices for ai and this brings together ai and the metaverse
00:32:13.740
because over time i think a lot of us are going to talk to ais frequently throughout the day
00:32:18.700
and i think a lot of us are going to do that using glasses because glasses are the ideal form factor
00:32:24.720
for letting an ai see what you see and hear what you hear so it's always available to help out
00:32:30.360
i am live streaming from my meta rayman glasses uh this is a first for us so this should be fun
00:32:36.640
so these are the meta smart glasses meta stories facebook glasses i suppose and um they capture
00:32:44.260
video they capture cameras it's really cool you don't have to bring out your phone will don's apple
00:32:48.720
vision pro when you put on apple vision pro what you see is your space and everything in it oh wow
00:32:54.300
another way a physical digital hybrid form of computing so that the type of inputs that you put
00:33:02.740
into the hardware which are either self-contained virtual reality headsets augmented reality goggles
00:33:09.560
or your phone or new types of wearables the these all have input from your environment
00:33:16.700
that is necessary to calibrate the devices and you have body-based data that you give back to the
00:33:23.100
devices so it makes it feel real to your body and your cognition in a way that flat screen computing just doesn't
00:33:32.740
okay welcome joe allen joins us our editor for all things transhumanism joe you were at ces you kind
00:33:39.120
of saw the products of the future what they were pushing next thing you know we have this really
00:33:43.620
monumental hearing that didn't get enough attention i think from the uh the leaders of all the social
00:33:49.700
media companies that got ripped apart by the uh by the senate at least in the questioning now you've
00:33:56.740
got everything people are coming out the facebook uh the day after that hearing he announced a dividend
00:34:02.520
was going to be paid his net worth personal wealth increased 28 billion dollars plus he gave himself
00:34:08.960
a 700 million almost a billion dollar dividend payment uh zuckerberg's uh increased in his personal
00:34:15.040
net worth 28 billion dollars after that hearing where holly embarrassed him to apologize to the parents of
00:34:22.000
kids that have been destroyed where are we on this are the social media companies now
00:34:26.760
emboldened just to continue to shape the future and particularly shape the future for our most
00:34:33.960
yes steve the bad news is yes uh that's exactly what seems to be happening uh investors clearly saw
00:34:44.520
mark zuckerberg uh flip-flopping and floundering and unable to give any kind of answer that indicated he
00:34:51.500
has a conscience or even uh you know dim awareness of what it's like to be human and investors saw that
00:34:58.740
and i suppose uh wall street loves a sociopath wall street loves a predator so uh there you have it
00:35:05.440
uh the companies are going full steam ahead that's uh all of them twitter facebook uh google with their
00:35:13.080
products not a single one is giving any any indication that their quest to accelerate the development of
00:35:20.160
artificial general intelligence and a wide array of uh artificial narrow intelligences uh the metaverse
00:35:27.340
project that came to attention because of zuckerberg but of course preceded uh mark zuckerberg by decades
00:35:35.320
and is much broader than anything happening at meta even if meta is trying to stake a claim on it
00:35:41.780
but you saw uh there his pitch to the public that uh artificial general intelligence will be a primary
00:35:49.300
project going forward for meta that it will be open sourced meaning that uh the the code itself
00:35:57.140
will be available to others for their use or improvement or correction people who are uh let's say on the
00:36:05.480
doomer end of the spectrum with ai are horrified because that means that uh you know even a small
00:36:11.320
scale outfit could develop a potentially dangerous ai or agi due to the kind of open nature of what's
00:36:19.400
uh proposed anyway at meta but yeah all all in all steve what i am seeing here is the race to develop ai
00:36:29.140
the race to uh actually flesh out a metaverse that people want to spend significant amounts of time in
00:36:35.920
of course elon musk on top of that the race to create a direct brain computer interface which if
00:36:41.480
you think that people wearing goggles looks goofy and horrific uh imagine people with chips in their
00:36:46.520
brains and then on down the line uh and this is in direct competition of course too with china that's
00:36:53.040
how it's framed and uh the biden administration is trying to forge partnerships with china open ai held
00:37:01.200
secret diplomatic meetings at around the time of davos with their chinese counterparts to try to
00:37:07.960
craft a way forward to work uh together safely they say for ai so i see this as both a national and a
00:37:15.740
kind of consumer uh issue do you let your kids uh on social media do you let your kids immerse
00:37:22.840
themselves in the metaverse i would say that is a really bad idea uh but the government despite what
00:37:29.680
we saw from holly and others the government i don't think is going to step in and save anybody
00:37:34.700
from any of this not anytime soon and so it really is at the moment in our hands it's not it's not it's
00:37:42.000
not because it's going to be so the luddites got to take over because right now you see the power in
00:37:47.440
the lobbyists and all that real quickly because i've got to bounce the story in the in the daily mail
00:37:52.620
about metaverse is like a cesspool of perversion and degeneracy just give me a minute on that and is
00:37:59.000
is zuckerberg aware of that and if he's if he's aware of it why are why are not civil and criminal
00:38:05.020
charges being filed here yeah this has been an issue from the beginning uh there were stories going
00:38:12.180
back a year and a half two years and it's been you know reiterated again daily mail went into the
00:38:18.680
metaverse so to speak to see what uh was going on they found you know young children being groomed they
00:38:24.900
found uh simulated gang rape people being sexually assaulted this is not new and that's not to dismiss
00:38:31.180
it at all it's just to say it's kind of endemic uh perverts go online because the anonymity shields
00:38:37.840
them from any kind of consequences the virtual reality worlds are no different perhaps even the
00:38:43.340
enticements are are more uh prevalent or more intense because of the 3d nature i don't know but
00:38:48.800
yes this is uh going to be a huge problem it's a big question again for parents as they go forward
00:38:54.900
is this the way that you want to mold your child's mind even minus all the perversion i think it's a
00:39:01.420
bad idea but in this the same fashion as you have with the internet or any other sort of online forum
00:39:07.600
there's always the potential for uh you know predatory adults to groom your kids i think that
00:39:12.840
all in all this shows you know zuckerberg is absolutely aware of it just as he was aware of the
00:39:17.720
various child trafficking uh organizations operating on facebook so uh these people i don't think have
00:39:26.060
any concern whatsoever about public safety they want to accelerate their technology and they want
00:39:31.740
to increase their profits uh anything else seems to be incidental dark aeon transhumanism and the war
00:39:39.940
against humanity is the book from joe allen it is compulsively readable you won't put it down it
00:39:46.520
explains everything to you the conversions what we call the singularity uh joe social media where do
00:39:51.320
people get your writings you can find everything at joe b-o-t-x-y-z getter and x uh also warroom.org
00:40:00.720
under the transhumanism tab thank you very much steve joe allen great work now in our continuing
00:40:09.660
coverage of black history month the other day we had mark caoletta in this great book and movie about
00:40:15.060
justice thomas truly justice thomas's court he's one of the greatest americans of the 20th century
00:40:20.960
and now the 21st century we have dr john sibley butler and of course our own reynard jackson join
00:40:26.620
us dr butler i want to start with you we began the show we were talking about this schism that's
00:40:32.300
happening in the catholic church about traditional teachings it turns out the african bishops
00:40:36.800
are coming forward and really the backbone of the traditional and conservative catholics
00:40:41.440
and i mentioned a couple of years ago we had the exact same issue in the anglican communion in the
00:40:46.860
global episcopal church that in the united states they were looking towards conservative episcopalians
00:40:52.200
and anglicans were looking for towards the conservative bishops in africa to really be the backbone is is
00:40:59.400
this because is the traditional black family actually more conservative than the average american or even
00:41:06.320
the average family in england sir i think you're exactly right so if you look at my book if i can
00:41:12.140
say that entrepreneurship and self-help among black americans and look at the importance of religion
00:41:16.940
and i've always said that uh that black americans are certainly when you look at the ideas of some of the
00:41:24.120
most conservative people in the world conservative in the terms of education education of the children
00:41:29.660
and that's been so since the late 1800s so you have these enclaves of methodist churches uh private
00:41:36.720
private uh black colleges that have educated their kids for generations and generations so i would say
00:41:43.220
that when everything is done and all of the ideas are done that the most conservative people in america
00:41:49.840
are black americans when it comes to that portion that looks at the relationship between religion and
00:41:55.820
future generations that is no doubt that that is what my work has shown uh over the years so coming
00:42:07.860
to black america is a um is a good thing the question is will black americans show their their conservatism
00:42:14.360
uh when it comes to the relationship between religious ideas and the future for your children
00:42:19.000
doctors uh butler then everything has happened the last couple years this craziness and insanity on
00:42:28.640
transgender on uh on the uh on all these uh you know the what they're doing in the schools what's
00:42:35.180
the pornography that's putting in libraries this radical lgbtq if the black family is so uh conservative
00:42:43.020
the onslaught against the black family is relentless particularly the public school system what's what's
00:42:48.800
going to happen here black americans going to step up and say hey we've had enough of this
00:42:52.260
well after you have you have really kind of two black americans as barb was like to say we have the
00:42:58.240
black poor and we have the traditional the traditional educated americans i'm proud to say i'm a fourth
00:43:03.200
generation college graduate and so i'm in that tradition i think the assault comes from those
00:43:08.680
individuals who have been left out of that traditional kind of uh what i call black excellence so i think
00:43:15.580
that the assault on the black family is the assault on poor the poor black family and then even look
00:43:21.100
at the convergence of the two then there's no difference so raynard jackson used to would always
00:43:26.100
ask me but dr butler why are we talking to this portion of the black community when it comes to the
00:43:31.840
idea of conservatism of moving things ahead so steve you have you have to look at the history uh and
00:43:38.980
i'm a black southerner proud black southerner from louisanna i had everything uh growing up uh in the
00:43:45.640
1950s and the 1960s and i think that it's very very important to make that distinction now the question
00:43:52.080
is when would that element of black americans step up and say look we know what the problem is
00:43:57.700
so we have been educating people for generations and generations and the assault on the on the black
00:44:04.060
family has to be an interaction between hey history and where we're now steve we know how to
00:44:09.960
solve all of these problems okay so when i go when i go to a graduation at dillard university
00:44:15.760
and and and and and they ask all of the graduates to stand up and they're 100 years old we know how
00:44:22.100
to solve this issue so i think that um the question is when when will people come out and say look
00:44:28.260
here's a deal the black civil rights movement had been hijacked by by white groups i called i called
00:44:35.020
the uh the alphabet groups and and other white groups hijacking the civil rights movement okay
00:44:41.100
it's hijacked in a sense for example i'm a professor at university of texas at austin we've always had
00:44:47.260
white gays there we've always had whites who didn't know where to go to the bathroom there
00:44:51.880
we've always had all of these so-called white minority groups they have never been denied
00:44:57.220
so what they did steve they went from equal opportunity to how many right to how do you feel
00:45:04.540
uh who's who's offended right so so what you gotta do is i think that the the the uh the black
00:45:12.360
population has to separate itself and everybody should stand on their own history uh and and to
00:45:18.380
me a white gay is just a white guy a white uh lesbos just a white woman because steve i'm a southerner
00:45:25.180
and steve if you went to the white bathroom in the old days then you're white that's the way i look
00:45:31.460
at the world but to get back to your major point the big thing is people have got to step up and say
00:45:37.060
look here's the deal to get america moving forward okay get rid of the dependency go back to raynard
00:45:43.900
jackson what and what bob woodson has been talking about in myself in entrepreneurship and self-help
00:45:49.040
among black america and understand that the solutions going forward has already been done
00:45:56.080
by the black population there's nothing new so you got to get off this idea of calling people racist it
00:46:02.260
does absolutely nothing you know i debated david duke at lsu and uh the only thing i asked him for was
00:46:09.680
the contract to make the sheets for the clan now i don't want you hurting me but i want the contract
00:46:15.000
to make the sheets for the clan i don't care what you think this is america i did not go to
00:46:20.060
vietnam to get a bronze star for combat and valor for somebody to tell me how i can think and what i
00:46:25.300
can do okay so going forward i'm saying is that yeah the solutions are already there yes let me ask
00:46:34.620
you i want to talk about dei you know my daughter's a west point grad with the 101st airborne uh she's very
00:46:39.760
disturbed what's going on her beloved army i know you were a combat helicopter pilot in vietnam this
00:46:45.920
dei that's in the military it's been one of the great institutions for the advancement of patriotic
00:46:51.740
uh black americans do you see a crisis in the military right now among other institutions
00:46:57.200
where they're actually losing contact with conservative blacks about what should happen
00:47:01.540
well dei is a problem anywhere i wrote an article in the dallas morning news and tell her how dei is
00:47:09.760
killing black professors like me john butler dallas morning news and steve here's the deal
00:47:14.880
the purpose of the military is to defend the country even when you go back historically we fought world
00:47:21.080
war we fought world war you know world civil war with ex-slaves we fought world war one with
00:47:27.300
italian immigrants right and all of the equality stuff is an all is a byproduct of defending the country
00:47:34.440
military you do not go into the military and adopt the stuff that we have in the civilian stuff called
00:47:40.120
dei which there's no really definition of now if the definition of is for you to like everybody
00:47:48.000
well you know if you play golf you're my friend if you play guitar you're my friend you know and if
00:47:53.560
you like to solve problems you're my friend but the military itself has got to maintain
00:47:58.500
its traditional role of defending america and what and the great thing about the military is this
00:48:06.080
everybody who has a job as i did a book with charles masters all that we can be
00:48:10.600
uh that was the best book for the washington post i mean and uh uh and so think about the military if
00:48:18.280
you have a job in the military you've been trained if you cook you've been to cooking school
00:48:23.300
right if you're a helicopter guy you've been to helicopter school right and if you look at all of
00:48:29.160
that and you say what's the military for it is to defend the country right and the thing about the
00:48:35.120
military is that the social integration should take care of all of the dei and i was on the chopper
00:48:40.300
not vladen chopper by the way so i think i think it's important for us to understand that it's going
00:48:45.000
forward we have to understand that the purpose of the military is to defend the country and not to
00:48:51.180
solve all of the social is solving the social is as a byproduct of defending the country
00:48:56.820
blacks fought in the civil war as a byproduct to defend the country and there and they got paid
00:49:02.460
world war ii they got paid so my point is that we cannot let the military go down this dei road
00:49:10.380
right where there's no definition of it except you get you get weaker you need a strong military
00:49:16.960
a kick-butt military if you mess with me i'm coming after you and we should not be spending
00:49:22.580
time this is not equal opportunity dei is different it's oh are you offended uh by by the way i act you
00:49:30.220
got to get rid of all of that and have strong people in the military and i think the all volunteer
00:49:34.800
force has done a great job with what it it has but but the world is coming up as as charles
00:49:42.040
boscus my professor northwestern would say we have to have a very very strong military and dei does
00:49:49.580
not get us there uh back in the day steve let me just say this real fast back in the day we were
00:49:56.240
doing we were doing equal opportunity and race relations and we went to the uh army and said well
00:50:01.540
we're going to have all of these classes we went to the marine corps and the general said this is what
00:50:06.160
we do we take we take a black soldier and a white soldier and put them and let them low crawl
00:50:11.660
underneath wire barbed wire for a mile and when they come out they love each other so the point is
00:50:16.240
if you do the things that the military has always done then you don't need all of the stuff yeah
00:50:22.800
dr butler where do people get your books where they get your writings what's the website social
00:50:28.420
media all of it well you can do the uh the amazon is john simply butler i've got lots of books and
00:50:35.600
the ones that's prevalent here is entrepreneurship and self-help among black americans a reconstruction
00:50:41.300
of race and economics and i compare entrepreneur groups uh with with black americans argue that black
00:50:47.880
americans southern blacks did did a great job in creating their own their own institutions and those
00:50:53.400
kind of things and the other one is all that we can be with charles boscus about the military stuff that
00:50:59.000
i've talked about then i have one on technology transfer if you want to go to the technology route because
00:51:04.300
uh i'm considered one of the uh founders of austin texas in the tech in the tech field
00:51:09.680
uh so we did a great job with austin texas steve and it's good to talk to you again we talked earlier

i want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money in our bank accounts first
00:52:12.300
think back to 9-11 shortly after the government pushed through the patriot act this gave the
00:52:16.960
government power to spy on innocent americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our
00:52:22.640
movement across the internet now jim rickards editor of the independent financial newsletter
00:52:28.060
strategic intelligence and new york times best-selling author is warning about a coming
00:52:33.160
event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level in fact
00:52:38.580
some of the guests i've had on the war room believe that the government will soon expand their powers
00:52:43.420
to track our every move if we say the wrong things on social media donate to the wrong causes
00:52:49.620
buy firearms or even vote maga the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts
00:52:55.800
i can't say for sure if this will happen but it's an interesting and dire warning fortunately jim
00:53:02.640
rickards an american patriot and friend of mine has made it his mission to educate us on what he
00:53:07.880
