00:00:24.660 where do people like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of

00:00:32.480 these people had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer

00:00:39.600 is to save my country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k band

00:00:54.660 wednesday 13th of august anno domini 2025 ben harnelly at the helm of steve bannon's war room

00:01:03.140 this is that the special corner of the week when we dig into all of the things of interest to

00:01:08.520 believing christians so coming up on today's packed show um we've got the leader of the british tories

00:01:15.880 explaining exactly why she lost her faith in god liz is going to give us the breakdown on that then

00:01:25.560 we've got the story about madonna right is she uh is she now the leading catholic influencer with her

00:01:33.960 lobbying of pope leo jenny holland has some more on that towards the end of the show folks

00:01:42.600 the associated press has given one of the best articles i've ever read on why president trump and his

00:01:51.920 administration is delivering for believing christians liz you're again at the end of the show

00:02:00.320 has the analysis on that but first frank walker um here's one for your folder marked tough break

00:02:09.880 for a swell guy father rosica um who for 20 years easily dominated the canadian catholic media

00:02:21.020 circuit and i think he's been defraud um a couple of years ago who was even at the high point of his

00:02:33.200 ecclesiastical career was a vatican spokesman got into trouble over accusations

00:02:39.520 of sexual impropriety um and the one that we're going to discuss right now is actually against

00:02:48.900 another priest now there are certain aspects to this that we're going to chew over i do want to say

00:02:56.500 having been through a number of legal cases myself i'm pretty hot on the idea that people are innocent

00:03:06.340 until proven guilty uh so i will say that even though i have there's basically nothing in terms of

00:03:13.880 religious catholic ecclesial ecclesiology um there is nothing that i and father rosica share no common

00:03:26.560 ground no common denominator but i will defend his right to be innocent and considered and treated to be

00:03:34.760 innocent until proven guilty frank walker tell me then um so for 20 years father rosica ran this

00:03:43.400 catholic television in canada i forget his name i think it's called salt salt in wound tv or or something

00:03:50.480 like that um tell me about the the latest exactly so salt salt in wound um tell me about his present

00:04:02.080 legal difficulties if you will well well he uh he's um being accused by a priest that he worked with

00:04:10.640 when the priest was newly ordained and uh can't when canada had the world youth day and he worked

00:04:16.640 with him off and on for six years they said and apparently he molested him several times uh over and

00:04:22.280 over and um you know promised him promotions and of course he denies everything but a court a judge has

00:04:30.240 ruled in canada that this cannot be handled exclusively in the church courts and because the church courts

00:04:36.480 she feels are inadequate and in her words the parliament is is sovereign canada is sovereign

00:04:42.580 over the church so i think it has implications for the long long history of the relationship between

00:04:49.040 local courts and the jurisdiction of the church um either way there's there's uh there's a lot of money

00:04:57.140 involved because she says they just don't have adequate justice in the courts they don't have 0.85

00:05:01.700 the ability to have um you know big awards and that's why and and and i think that she's probably 0.89

00:05:08.400 right that they don't have good justice in the church courts and i think it's it's a problem for

00:05:13.880 these uh for uh it's a it's a problem that the church doesn't have good justice in cases like this

00:05:20.220 now father resika like you said what long long time at the at the head of like he was at the

00:05:25.520 vatican spokesman he was in all over the american press he was very well connected until he he had a

00:05:31.420 fall yeah and uh it had to do with plagiarism and first he tried to attack a uh a blogger and

00:05:39.540 threaten him with a lawsuit so he was being a bully and and ever since then everything sort of fell

00:05:43.620 apart for his life you know he had all sorts of credentials at universities and things but he was a 0.91

00:05:48.360 serial plagiarist and he's a liar here too so it's not like he it's like he doesn't deserve all this

00:05:53.600 kind of a heat that he's getting the the plagiarism thing is interesting because if memory serves me 0.82

00:06:01.080 correctly frank his defense was well you know what perhaps i should have um studied more attentively

00:06:08.520 what the people who i delegated the preparation of my theses had come up with um which is basically

00:06:15.600 saying okay so i didn't i didn't i personally didn't plagiarize but when it came to writing my

00:06:22.420 academic theses i farmed it out to my underlings they drafted it all and i just signed my name off

00:06:28.920 on it and they're the ones who plagiarized which for one thing sort of undermines his whole academic

00:06:35.460 credentialness on the one but then he's thrown all of his um he's basically thrown all of his

00:06:42.000 underlings his students under the bus saying hi perfect i didn't know anything it's all the it's

00:06:49.060 all the people who were helping me um i should have checked their work well there's not father

00:06:53.180 it's not a case that you should have checked what they've done better you should have written it

00:06:57.460 yourself i mean that's the point behind academic theses doctoral theses you write those things yourself

00:07:03.100 anyway um but it's a strange thing that his lawyer had done right to approach what is the secular

00:07:11.320 court of the land in canada basically arguing for that case to be dropped and allowing an ecclesiastical

00:07:19.080 canon law court to have exclusive jurisdiction over these charges and i say frank because it's curious

00:07:28.800 because in england i don't think clerics had their own judicial track for since the middle ages

00:07:38.400 since since the medieval times um it's unusual i thought for for father azica's lawyer to come out

00:07:47.640 and try this one on the judge i think the judge's judge's ruling was perfect i wouldn't even have gone

00:07:55.440 into the explanation as to as she has done saying why the canon law court would be deficient

00:08:01.880 i mean the idea that everyone is equal under the law is i thought a more dominating principle no

00:08:09.340 and i think in the past um cases like you know this is in the modern era so they have all of this

00:08:16.520 uh sexual harassment i don't know how somebody gets two men how a man gets himself in a position for

00:08:22.240 repeated uh molestation and a grown man and support but this is the modern times but in the past

00:08:28.120 even in ancient times that they would they would some cases like this they would hand over to the

00:08:33.420 local jurisdiction so it's always a back and forth and still even today in different countries they'll

00:08:38.800 they'll have to decide which one's which but you can't what kind of penalties can the church uh you

00:08:44.680 know give itself is what would happen because today a thing like this affects the entire church

00:08:49.980 because the entire church has to pay the uh the uh the payout that goes with this and i so i i i know

00:08:55.840 maybe not in england but all over the world it's it's a back and forth and i think in the past

00:09:00.860 they would have to have stronger justice in the in the church because it's their responsibility not

00:09:07.200 to give scandal and to protect the jurisdiction that they have they should have some jurisdiction

00:09:12.060 i mean and like you said these battles went back to the middle ages seeing thomas beckett trying to

00:09:16.940 defend the jurisdiction of the church in england so uh i i you know it's a it's a complicated thing

00:09:23.880 and and the thing is if the church would actually provide justice then they would have some

00:09:29.980 credibility here but i i think that and they can't really fight for it um still father resika is still

00:09:35.680 giving talks even though he's defrocked like you said he's lost his faculties but he's still you know

00:09:41.220 at recent giving jesuit retreats and things and you know he this this uh this whole crime was in the

00:09:47.340 context of a world youth day because he ran the world youth day and just this week there's a priest

00:09:52.940 who leo just appointed i mean a bishop in poland who's had to resign because of accusations while

00:09:58.840 he was running world youth day so i just do good what i wonder is do good priests ever get promoted

00:10:05.460 that's what i like that's what makes makes me wonder you know what kind of a network are we dealing

00:10:10.000 with here where they're where uh the only people who seem to have an opportunity to move up and have

00:10:15.720 an official position have to deal with this kind of thing like this priesthood with father resika

00:10:19.720 frank can you give me just um correct me if i'm wrong did father resika in 2019 was he not invited

00:10:29.680 to speak at a vatican conference on clerical sex abuse right around that time he was very important in

00:10:38.480 in francis's vatican they pulled him in and he was a spokesman you would see him up there all the time

00:10:44.400 and after the uh the pennsylvania report the grand jury report it was a huge news story for about a

00:10:49.500 year it affected the entire church and cardinal mccarrick was involved francis had to have a big

00:10:55.520 event to try to calm it all down and father resika was a big part of that you know making pronouncements

00:11:00.660 about how they're going to have a new church and they're going to clean it all up and uh you know

00:11:04.680 it shows you you can't really believe that um after that was when he got the plagiarism but that

00:11:11.420 that event that francis uh had everybody uh the church pull together that ended up in some report

00:11:18.840 did to whitewash the entire thing and blame people like archbishop vegano and pope benedict for

00:11:23.660 everything he was a part of that he was i remember him interviewing cardinal world right before cardinal

00:11:30.200 world was tossed out yeah father resika was very important guy it is it it is it is important to

00:11:36.480 note that father resika's or mr resika's clerical progression took place sort of even his his

00:11:45.580 advancement in the catholic church uh took place under benedict and under uh and under the the the last

00:11:53.860 years of jp2 as well this isn't this isn't a bergolian phenomenon even if he happened to

00:12:00.080 reach the apogee of his of his ecclesiastical um progress under bergolio you touched on something

00:12:08.260 before frank walk and i think this is probably the most important thing as far as i'm concerned

00:12:13.080 what does it tell you about the men and i'm not going to blame the uh the victims here so let's let's

00:12:21.660 be specific i'm not talking about this specific case but cases in this in this category what does it

00:12:30.020 tell you about the men that the catholic church is ordaining as priests and the minimum age for

00:12:36.440 that is going to be 21 and i don't i doubt very much that this guy was was as young as 21 he probably

00:12:41.400 had a few years under his belt by the time he was actually ordained what does it tell you about the

00:12:46.940 men that the catholic church is ordaining that they are unable to stand up for themselves against a

00:12:54.500 somewhat overweight i met the guy father rizik you know somewhat overweight not a particularly tall

00:13:01.380 guy um a guy that you should pretty easily be able to fend off um what does it say about the men that

00:13:09.920 we are ordaining as priests and how can we possibly expect them to offer any kind of spiritual leadership

00:13:17.020 out in parishes if they can't protect themselves uh from from someone like father rizik i stress that

00:13:27.060 the guy is innocent until proven by court to be guilty but in that kind of context just give me two

00:13:33.280 minutes about about your uh your analysis on on the the guys that the catholic church is ordaining

00:13:40.700 i i i know i know priests like that have uh had these kinds of things happen to them when they're

00:13:48.200 in there in seminary and they left you know they left you you know no man should have to tolerate this

00:13:54.300 kind of thing i can't i can't imagine the situation where they would so what they have here are the

00:13:59.500 kind of men that will talk just like we were talking about the other day you know it's like a you

00:14:04.140 have the seminarians are abused and then they become abuser priests and they become protector bishops 0.99

00:14:09.360 that's the kind that's what's happening here we have two men who are having gay sex and it's become 0.99

00:14:16.680 a case because it's against the law in a certain respect because they're both working together one's

00:14:21.520 superior and one's junior you know but i mean in the old days it was a crime one way or another

00:14:26.520 so the that's what we have for priests that's what we have for a church that's how you get promoted

00:14:33.780 because there are good priests out there there are many many men who have left seminary

00:14:38.680 left seminary but before this kind of thing happened or when it happened or when they saw it

00:14:44.060 happening everywhere else they find that they couldn't isolate themselves enough they couldn't

00:14:48.200 concentrate on what they're trying to accomplish because never in their lives had they been some

00:14:52.700 men are like that and they're just weeded out sometimes they're weeded out before they even get 0.99

00:14:57.400 anywhere near an abuse case like this i mean the culture is incredible

00:15:03.100 before we just have a quick um recollection of birch gold and its incredible services i just want to

00:15:15.880 close this this topic that we've been discussing about in the show today frank because that there's

00:15:23.420 also been some we don't have time to to go into this now but there has also um been some developments

00:15:28.780 in the french diocese of i think it was toulouse where the president of the bishop's conference and

00:15:34.960 a number of other bishops have come come out and basically backed the war rooms position that we've

00:15:40.900 been running on for the last couple of weeks that it is inappropriate to promote someone to the

00:15:45.960 position of chancellor of the diocese when they have been in prison for for for uh for for raping a

00:15:54.560 child um so look we'll have more developments on that story um in future shows but i'm very proud

00:16:02.940 that this show this transmission has was one of the early voices uh pointing out that scandal

00:16:09.940 since trump was sworn in his administration has made enormous progress at breakneck pace but don't

00:17:29.140 peace of mind today okay uh on with the show liz you're were you surprised to see the leader of the

00:17:40.480 british conservative party kemi badenuk come out and say that she didn't believe in god anymore because 0.94

00:17:48.880 of what had happened uh in austria some 15 years beforehand just the quick lowdown here this is joseph

00:17:56.080 joseph fritzel um who had been found having repeatedly locked away and raped his own daughter elizabeth

00:18:06.260 for a 24 year period and then she escaped um and apparently this this incident has stayed in the

00:18:16.220 mind of the the leader of the british tories and she came out um this week in an interview with this

00:18:22.560 tell me a bit more about what she said and break that down versus for what that means to you

00:18:28.460 sure i mean i remember this case it was a horrific case of this sex offender in austria who basically

00:18:36.320 imprisoned his daughter raped her for 24 years um she had gave birth to seven children by um as a result

00:18:45.080 of these rapes um he was a sex offender for many years before this um and the story broke because this 0.70

00:18:53.420 this young woman was able to get free um and it really shocked all of europe um well you know my

00:19:01.120 my own experience with many horrific child sex abuse cases in the course of my legal career i've seen

00:19:08.680 i've pretty much seen it all um but i you know this tan uh kemi uh badenuk the leader of the

00:19:17.640 conservative party in the uk now says that her faith in god um has just been shaken and she rejects god

00:19:25.280 as a result of this fritzel case which happened many many years ago and you know while this is a

00:19:32.280 horrific case i you know frankly i don't think it warrants um a lack of trust in god um she describes

00:19:41.200 herself as a christian apologist um that she thinks that britain should uh embrace cultural christian

00:19:49.820 issues and values um but to me this rings hollow and i'll tell you why um because when we all know

00:19:58.100 um as christians certainly we know the existence of good and evil in the world and although this young

00:20:06.120 woman this elizabeth fritzel um as she disclosed prayed to god throughout these 24 years she was

00:20:13.600 ultimately rescued but not after this horrendous nightmarish um experience with both her children

00:20:20.280 and herself um it just seems to me that this um kemi should look at really what's happening

00:20:30.200 in britain and in the importance of cultural christian values in britain and what has happened

00:20:38.520 to this young woman in austria is quite frankly happening throughout britain as we now know the uh

00:20:46.960 what they call the grooming gangs i like to call them the rape gangs um and there have been all sorts

00:20:53.040 of allegations this has been going back since the 1980s 90s where uh roaming gangs of pakistani men

00:21:01.560 southeastern asian men have um raped uh drugged abducted young poor girls in england um subjected them

00:21:13.240 to terrible torture um as sexual abuse um and hid them from their families i mean this is to the tune of

00:21:21.700 as you know there have been how many three or four reports from the government this is up to they have

00:21:28.040 said 250 000 girls have been affected by this i mean if you are going to be the leader of the conservative

00:21:35.320 party and battle this phenomenon this crisis um in what 50 60 cities in england you had better be aware

00:21:47.620 that you're going to need all the resources god almighty to fight the most diabolical evil that is

00:21:57.180 facing your country and so and so for me you know i don't like to judge people's hearts but for me it just

00:22:07.600 rings hollow that this distant case and god knows that we've all read thousands of cases of terrible

00:22:15.020 abusive children um but to say i personally now reject god but i don't reject christian values

00:22:23.220 um it seems to me just kind of spats a little bit of um political expediency it is um it is strange

00:22:33.120 it is one of these things that we could spend the whole show discussing this is one story alone

00:22:38.120 she she she points out kemi badenoch points out that her maternal grandfather was a methodist

00:22:45.440 minister um and she says i couldn't stop reading this story and i read her account that elizabeth

00:22:51.520 fritzel's account and how she prayed every day to be rescued and i thought i was praying for all sorts

00:22:58.140 of stupid things and i was getting my prayers answered i was praying to have good grades my hair should grow 0.52

00:23:04.400 longer i pray for the bus to come on time so i wouldn't miss anything and then so much she says 0.98

00:23:10.660 it's like those prayers were answered and not this woman's prayers um there's so much to um to to

00:23:19.180 analyze on that because we've all been there we've you know those of us who pray will know the feeling

00:23:26.460 that we get when our prayers are answered and then we come across a family member or a neighbor or

00:23:31.340 something who's had like a far greater calamity um and you think oh my god you know i've been praying

00:23:38.680 for for these it's not even i've been praying for these things and my prayers weren't answered i've

00:23:42.860 been praying for these petty trivial things and my prayers were answered and not this person this

00:23:47.260 person my my liz you know you might have a word of advice for people in this situation my word of

00:23:55.620 advice in terms of in terms of spiritual advice would be that line from um is it um ecclesiastes

00:24:02.580 is it um god gives god takes away blessed the lord gives the lord takes away blessed be the name of the

00:24:09.540 lord right um that i think ought to be the the the preface um of every prayer we say um because it

00:24:17.900 belongs to god which prayers he wants to grant which prayers not to look we've got like two minutes

00:24:23.620 left i want to ask your thoughts on on this and this is i think really interesting um she insisted

00:24:31.760 that while she rejected god she had not rejected christianity and remained a cultural christian

00:24:37.900 saying she wanted to protect certain things because i think the world that we have in the uk is very

00:24:45.880 much built on many christian values you just gave an excellent analysis on the challenges

00:24:51.660 and that are taking place in the uk right now um many of these things are taking place outside of

00:24:59.680 the christian sphere um i don't want to point the finger and make a victim class out of anybody

00:25:05.560 but just give me two minutes and do you think that it is possible to rebuild the uk in the way that

00:25:13.360 it needs based on christian values without the explicit belief in jesus christ well listen this is about the mystery of

00:25:23.320 inequity isn't it about the you know complex nature of humanity um to me you know we all all these countries in

00:25:32.180 europe need to go back to their christian roots um they you know they're doing it in france in italy

00:25:38.140 certainly poland has stayed close to its christian catholic roots um and we've seen it now happening

00:25:44.660 in england and you know when you're when you're battling evil as i have in child advocacy there is

00:25:53.260 only one place to turn for for help and that's to god almighty it is it can become so overwhelming so

00:26:02.340 demonic that there is no this is not a human solution nor is it a human solution to what's

00:26:09.820 happening in the culture of um of the uk you must return to a civilized world based on christian

00:26:19.400 values and and i think people are having a sense of it all over europe is that they look around and see

00:26:27.340 nothing but chaos evil bizarre trans um gender ideology lgbt the destruction of the family 1.00

00:26:36.260 um chaos in the cities we god is the restoration of peace and order and so as a result we need to

00:31:39.680 going to be talking about louise chicane you'll be talking about the virgin mary um so therefore anyone

00:31:48.420 who calls themselves madonna in the in the italian catholic sense that is all that is already leaning

00:31:56.160 very heavily towards blasphemy and provocation against catholic sensibilities for for for notoriety

00:32:05.560 and media engagement jenny holland you have um you've been writing about you've been tracking madonna

00:32:15.320 um over over the last few years and you wrote this incredible article um i think just in january

00:32:24.060 20 23 where you say today madonna looks like a beast from the pits of hell and i'm a middle-aged

00:32:32.100 woman who can't help but see the horror that has come from our wholesale abandonment of traditional 0.73

00:32:38.860 female life stages from maiden to crone and a total debasement of natural female beauty you know 1.00

00:32:47.760 what i'm going to ask frank walker if he'd be if he when he posts the links of the articles that we've

00:32:52.860 discussed today on canon 212 that he also put very kindly puts up this this substack piece that you did

00:32:59.040 two years ago um it's hard writing folks it's um it it really does put the finger where it needs to go

00:33:07.740 and yet here is madonna with all the provocations and all the crucifixes and all the habits and all

00:33:15.640 and all the rest of it that we've seen since the 80s playing little miss pious beseeching

00:33:23.100 none other than pope leo the 14th whom she calls a man of god to intervene in gaza uh jenny tell us a bit

00:33:34.580 about her intervention because i know you have a warning not just for the war in posse but for the

00:33:41.780 wider world about the great danger and leaning in public figures pop stars uh as they assume for

00:33:50.620 themselves the mantle of moral authority yes definitely i mean pop stars intervening in 0.90

00:33:59.880 geopolitics and giving their opinions on geopolitics is always a very pathetic and cringe thing to see 0.98

00:34:06.720 but this really takes the biscuit uh this is an extremely hypocritical um move by madonna when she 0.97

00:34:16.840 addresses in an instagram post the most holy father um this from a woman who has uh built an 0.93

00:34:25.020 absolute fortune on um provocations and sacrilege and maybe even blasphemy against the catholic church

00:34:33.860 and even her own upbringing which she has traduced um in really like shocking ways even to me as a very

00:34:41.280 secular atheist person who was a big fan of hers growing up i mean basically she is today a geriatric 0.94

00:34:48.600 succubus she is a um really pathetic uh but grotesque figure that i find overtly sinister now of course the 0.99

00:34:59.320 uh the innocent children of gaza um absolutely you know deserve mercy and deserve food and help and all 0.99

00:35:07.660 these things but for madonna to try and play pious as you said to the pope is just yet another slap in the

00:35:15.720 face of uh to to catholics in particular um you know she she's done us actually a service yes

00:35:23.600 jenny let me interrupt you just one moment tell us and i always do your pitch your billing right as

00:35:31.300 as um as an atheist huge goodwill towards the catholic church you play the rose you pray the

00:35:38.320 rosary every day which 99.9 percent of catholics don't do you pray the rosary every day um you have

00:35:45.460 a lot of goodwill towards the catholic church tell me on that point that you just mentioned what will

00:35:50.060 happen do you think to the to the catholic church's credibility in the wider world and even regarding pope

00:35:57.240 leo the the 14th credibility if he responds to this request from someone who who has had nothing

00:36:06.340 but uh scorn for for the catholic church over the last 40 years in her public life

00:36:12.180 oh yeah i mean i i know you're not a fan of pope leo but uh this would be so beneath him um it would be

00:36:21.600 it would be yet another insult and when you say i'm a fan of the catholic church i'm a fan of of the

00:36:26.560 catholic faith i'm a supporter of the catholic faith and the the catholic laity uh not so much

00:36:32.960 the church but that's beside the point um you know about 10 years ago she uh is she released a song

00:36:40.060 that was um explicit uh obscene um rendering a playing on the concept of holy water um that as

00:36:50.640 far as i could tell went completely unremarked upon by everyone except for the the uh singapore which

00:36:57.380 banned her from performing it because it was so uh blasphemous um now the thing that madonna has done 1.00

00:37:04.440 though for me personally as someone who grew up as a fan of hers i was a child in the 1980s and her

00:37:10.460 provocations of the church in the 1980s were at least done with some pop musical skill which is no

00:37:17.200 longer the case because the the things she produces now are truly um just terrible um she's proven all

00:37:23.500 the christians correct the conservatives who in the 80s were made to sound uncool because they were

00:37:30.160 objecting to her using their religion um to to shock and to provoke and to sell albums um what she's

00:37:38.840 basically done to me personally was that she showed me that it wasn't just a culture war that was

00:37:45.080 happening it was also a spiritual war because when i describe her as a beast from the pits of hell

00:37:50.180 that is very much exactly how she looks to me i am not being hyperbolic i don't think anyone can look

00:37:55.780 upon her and her performances in the last 10 years and not see anything other than um demonic influences

00:38:04.640 which is insane okay i mean this is a this is a a woman who used to have a very kind of sophisticated

00:38:10.740 approach to to pop culture um that is no longer the case so she showed me that we are in fact

00:38:17.700 experiencing and being having a spiritual war waged against us as regular people going about our

00:38:24.460 business and you know the irony that she appeals to the pope um on behalf of gazans which of course 0.92

00:38:32.020 the children again children any conflict are innocent and should always be spared always um but you know

00:38:39.020 well there is an actual um spiritual hot war against christians um all over the world you know uh

00:38:47.700 to the point where one expert for the middle east research group the think tank called it a silent

00:38:53.780 genocide of christians that is happening right now in africa so if madonna instead of insulting catholics

00:39:00.440 um maybe wants to take a time out um and turn her attention to her fellow co-religionists 1.00

00:39:06.320 um that would be slightly less hypocritical but really she's just using the poor unfortunate children 0.98

00:39:12.540 of gaza to pretend and play pious and it's absolutely disgusting it's really repellent 1.00

00:39:19.060 um i know something you you just alluded to this i know this is something that you are following about

00:39:26.240 the the plight of christians being massacred uh by the isis affiliated 0.96

00:39:31.600 militants in in the democratic republic of conga have um have any hollywood actors or pop stars

00:39:41.440 come out calling for an intervention by the his most holy father um leo the 14th on uh on these kids

00:39:53.940 in the in the drc that you are aware of because i haven't seen anything i've seen a lot of i've seen a lot

00:39:59.480 of posturing to do with gaza but i haven't seen anything to do with the the christians here

00:40:04.160 in in central africa i've seen a lot of um photographs that look very staged uh coming

00:40:11.460 from gaza and there's obviously a very sophisticated propaganda war being waged there and that's not to

00:40:17.580 say that children aren't suffering they absolutely are um but you know nine children were beheaded

00:40:23.260 in the congo in july and no to answer your question um i have not heard a single to my knowledge not a

00:40:31.060 single um influential um famous person has spoken out about that at all um the the war on christianity

00:40:41.000 and this goes back to kemi bednock as well um what an ill-advised thing to say in a nation 0.74

00:40:46.900 uh that is already so demoralized and whose uh state religion the church of england has abdicated

00:40:53.860 all moral authority and become more of an hr department than a religion um to say that she 0.87

00:41:01.260 lost her faith over you know what is really kind of a one-off unique kind of crime that happened in a

00:41:06.640 different country like you said 15 years ago well you know there's so much um need in england in

00:41:14.500 particular but throughout the united kingdom and ireland i might add there is so much need for a

00:41:20.760 strong i would even say militant at this point um christian faith uh to push back against not just

00:41:30.560 um this creeping woke totalitarian government but also the uh huge rise in power of uh the islamic 0.99

00:41:41.280 community uh which is really massively concerning and stands to really change england and the united

00:41:49.760 kingdom forever so again nobody is standing up for catholics nobody is standing up for christians 0.98

00:41:55.900 um everyone is it you know the influential tastemakers either think of christians as a non-entity

00:42:03.920 or as a hostile force um and it's really a grave injustice i think to and and also very dangerous

00:42:12.740 for our moral fabric of society yeah and you know the the cultural degeneration of the uk has been

00:42:20.200 taking place over many decades um and of course it's parallel i think with the rise it's of into

00:42:27.480 notoriety of people like madonna i very strongly recommend the war in posse to to you know i'll post

00:42:34.460 a link i'll ask frank walker to post a link to your to your article a couple of years ago on madonna

00:42:39.960 uh and it just highlights the ludicrousness of her right this little miss pious missive to um 1.00

00:42:48.500 to uh to leo the 14th folks get your pen and paper out i'm going to give another reference here to

00:42:55.600 birch gold okay so in the past 12 months the value of gold has increased by 40 percent with central

00:43:03.020 banks continuing to bolster demand for gold by buying in record quantities and the global instability

00:44:31.060 that's recordswarroom.com um i loved this show that we do on wednesdays and i

00:44:39.940 one of the highlights is that we have is to be able to bring you guys some positive news some

00:44:45.240 unadulterated positive news the associated press one of the three big press agencies in the world has

00:44:52.080 pushed out this article saying why conservative christians specifically notes evangelicals um can

00:45:00.360 look towards this administration that is delivering for them and this is obviously a press agency it's not

00:45:07.740 uh it's not a pr outlet for the white house liz you're you've read this article you've got the um

00:45:13.960 you've got the analysis let's walk through we've got five minutes left walk through why is the

00:45:19.800 associated press one of the the most secular news agencies out there why has it pushed out this

00:45:26.280 article now just giving chapter and verse on all uh that the great things that this administration

00:45:32.060 has been doing well because the policy wins are so extraordinary and so obvious and almost coming

00:45:39.200 on a daily basis trump is really bringing back the christian cultural ethos through laws and policies

00:45:46.160 and here's a news alert about what we've been talking about today this is the playbook the practical

00:45:52.620 legislative and policy fixes that even britain politicians can impose to reclaim the christian culture

00:46:01.440 uh so a memo to uh kemi badnak you know if she wants to embrace christian culture this is what trump 0.98

00:46:08.480 has done and only you know the first six or seven months there's been number one a crackdown on

00:46:13.700 transgender identity and treatment with an executive order to eliminate federal support for gender

00:46:20.020 affirming care for children and we've all noticed that the hospitals that have been you know conducting this

00:46:27.160 monstrous uh diabolical in my opinion uh procedure have been discontinuing these programs next the irs

00:46:37.200 declared that any pastor can now endorse political candidates from the pulpit without fear of losing

00:46:44.920 their 501c tax exempt status i think this is going to go both ways but um let's see how it how it plays out

00:46:53.760 fortunately the next one i think is so important the targeting of planned parenthood trump has signed

00:47:00.780 budget legislation aimed at cutting medicaid medicaid funding to planned parenthood he also pardoned the

00:47:08.820 anti-abortion activists who had been convicted of blockading abortion clinic entrances um there's a new

00:47:17.860 faith office in the white house headed by paula white cane who's a long-time very activist evangelical

00:47:25.500 pastor um there's interestingly now a new task force on anti-christian bias that's being chaired by pam bondy

00:47:35.080 the attorney general with a two-year mandate to identify any unlawful anti-christian actions taken by the

00:47:44.060 biden administration i would point out of course the fbi weaponization of the catholic church catholic church

00:47:51.320 um traditional masses that needs to be um really examined closely um there's a religious liberty

00:47:59.580 commission that trump has uh signed an executive order religion i think this is fascinating religion

00:48:06.120 in the federal workplace which allows federal employees to promote and talk about their religion

00:48:12.360 and with their fellow employees that that that is absolutely transformative isn't it

00:48:18.700 culturally it is because you know if you're in the workplace eight nine hours a day you know one of the

00:48:26.600 things that you end up sharing i know certainly i did in in the field of missing children is you share

00:48:32.280 your faith because as you work through these issues whether you're a co-worker is suffering from

00:48:39.700 some kind of uh health crisis or problems in their family that's an opportunity to share the faith

00:48:47.000 and um oftentimes now with this you know anti-religion ethos that was going on during the biden administration

00:48:54.580 people didn't feel comfortable sharing i think it's incredibly important not only to um help people

00:49:02.260 heal to um increase friendship and relationships within the workplace now and of course the

00:49:09.680 biggest um i think uh trump impact is on the supreme court rulings in june that allowed

00:49:17.020 maryland parents with religious objections that they could pull their children from public school

00:49:22.840 lessons about lgbt storybooks um which had been you know in my mind really nothing but porn grooming

00:49:30.700 tools um that the teachers were using on these children parents are now free to pull their kids out of those

00:49:37.880 classes they can opt out um another supreme court decision upholding tennessee's um ban on gender

00:49:45.740 affirming care for transgender minors and also that states can block planned parenthood from receiving

00:49:53.620 medicaid money this has all been decided by a 6-3 majority reflecting trump's supreme court appointees

00:50:02.160 um and the cultural war i think has had a tremendous boost with trump um really launching wide-ranging

00:50:10.360 war against universities museums public broadcasting this massive unfair dei initiative that just flooded

00:50:21.500 and infected everything including the kennedy center and the national endowment for the humanities

00:50:27.440 um that has all been slashed um by the trump administration but this is the playbook isn't it

00:50:34.420 this is what england is the play grants they can all do exactly so exactly this is really the evidence

00:50:42.360 this is the evidence this is what it looks like when you're letting the the yeast let the bread rise

00:50:48.740 and you see that the the the the the the those meaningless platitudes on behalf of the british
