00:00:07.680
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:12.940
I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:20.560
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:24.480
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:28.800
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:34.680
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:38.440
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:56.160
Harnwell here at the helm on Steve Bannon's War Room.
00:01:06.540
This is the date where normally in the UK, I guess in the States as well,
00:01:11.060
both being Protestant countries, we gather around bonfires and say,
00:01:17.060
remember, remember, 5th of November and all the rest of it,
00:01:22.200
But as this is a Catholic show, we won't be doing that today.
00:01:32.040
some Catholics tried to do something to some Protestants and quickly brush over it.
00:01:37.100
Folks, we have really an incredible show for you today.
00:01:42.400
If you stick around over the course of the next hour,
00:01:49.120
but probably the most ghoulish story I have seen
00:01:59.460
Liz Yor, who's spent her life as a lawyer defending children,
00:02:04.440
will have the lowdown on embryos as fashion accessories.
00:02:11.700
Embryos, real human embryos put into jewellery.
00:02:19.860
Frank Walker will be talking about our favourite Pope of all time,
00:02:34.760
But first up today on the show, we have Jenny Holland,
00:02:49.820
Is anyone who's like me, generation X or older,
00:02:55.300
Anyone who's a bit younger will know the rapper.
00:02:58.140
Jenny, why don't you tell us what has happened in response to what?
00:03:04.580
To do with someone apparently who's quite big in contemporary music.
00:03:12.440
It would be my pleasure to talk you through this, Ben.
00:03:14.700
Yeah, this is some news from the pop culture front of the culture wars.
00:03:19.820
Nicki Minaj is a very, very famous rapper and singer
00:03:26.160
And she has been an absolute powerhouse in the music industry
00:03:33.620
And she sings very R-rated, if not X-rated songs.
00:03:37.520
She has a very over-the-top sort of sexualised persona.
00:03:45.600
and thanked Trump for a post he put up on Truth Social
00:03:50.400
threatening to intervene on behalf of Nigerian Christians
00:04:04.740
So Nicki Minaj basically waded into this very tense
00:04:08.300
and very dramatic and horrifying geopolitical reality,
00:04:13.040
which is the plight of Christians around the world.
00:04:17.900
And while so doing, has basically outed herself
00:04:24.200
Now she wrote, and I will read you what she wrote.
00:04:26.760
She wrote, reading this, meaning Trump's Truth Social post,
00:04:33.360
We live in a country where we can freely worship God.
00:04:41.040
what Bannon often refers to as signal, not noise.
00:04:46.140
It's saying that not everyone in the highest up echelons
00:05:00.980
She is giving him his due and giving him moral support.
00:05:07.440
the post was then picked up on by Stephen Crowder,
00:05:12.160
which was, he said that given that the Pope has gone silent,
00:05:25.360
And again, you know, some of her songs go by titles
00:05:32.560
And she is not at all what you would call a trad wife
00:05:39.500
But I think it really speaks to a very deep issue
00:05:42.340
in the culture wars, which is that if you are outside
00:05:46.360
the sort of liberal university educated wealthy bubble,
00:06:00.300
and everything that he doesn't go near is great.
00:06:05.300
people sort of on the ground who are in touch with reality,
00:06:28.540
And Jenny, I thank you for being persistent on this.
00:06:32.820
this is something that we should be hitting on the show.
00:06:37.780
this is the penetration into the popular culture sphere.
00:06:43.120
However, however, on the issue of substance itself,
00:06:51.580
I wonder whether we allow for diversity of opinion on this.
00:07:03.980
doesn't intervene to protect the lives of Christians in Nigeria,
00:07:19.960
and Pete Hexeter has called this a genocide, by the way,
00:07:32.220
But then he says that America can go in organs blazing.
00:07:39.160
Now, when I say, are we allowed on this subject
00:07:45.640
I think that basically means you three versus me on this.
00:08:06.100
that America first is an isolationist movement.
00:08:10.900
This is an extremely engaged and activist administration
00:08:22.300
there is something about the America first agenda.
00:08:54.540
I think you three might disagree with me somewhat on this.
00:09:06.660
that it's very legitimate for the administration
00:09:09.460
to intervene to defend Christians around the world.
00:10:03.700
They're saying it's just a disagreement between farmers.
00:10:08.480
that nobody pays any attention to their problems.
00:10:16.080
Today, they say that China is giving him pushback.
00:10:25.980
And it might hurt their economy if he withdraws aid.
00:10:37.480
But I'm just happy that they've made it an issue.
00:10:39.540
Because they pretend that it doesn't even happen
00:10:51.520
from the representatives of the Catholic hierarchy,
00:11:00.900
It's the aid money, which they want to, obviously.
00:11:03.180
It's the trough, which they want to keep their snouts firmly in.
00:11:08.100
Inverted commas, dialogue, which really means submission
00:11:12.480
That's what you get from the so-called Catholic Church.
00:11:15.360
So what Jenny was saying earlier in her opener,
00:11:19.700
it's absolutely true that Nicki Minaj is effectively
00:11:35.260
Liz, I know you've got something to say on this.
00:11:40.360
One, there's a massive murder genocide going on in Sudan as well.
00:11:51.000
that is having revolutions in Africa or around the world,
00:12:01.480
And why is it the UN has forces, security forces?
00:12:08.740
a pressure of the world on the Nigerian Muslim government
00:13:06.080
It's just, we could be involved all over the world.
00:13:11.740
are breaking out against Christians everywhere.
00:13:46.400
that the focus needs to be on the United States.
00:13:55.300
the absolute chaos in the big cities of America.
00:14:35.960
after Iraq, Iran, you know, Afghanistan, Vietnam,
00:16:02.940
imagine hearing about Christians being murdered
00:16:56.740
Imagine hearing that Christians are being murdered
00:17:18.780
I think that sort of takes a real moral courage.
00:17:57.080
it is the gravest sin you can commit in popular culture.
00:18:04.660
she's got a very sort of outrageous personality anyway,
00:18:16.940
I'm assuming the person who wrote this is young,
00:44:25.640
Tnusa.com slash Bannon or phone for your free consultation.
00:44:36.400
Frank Walker, look, there are two quick stories I would like to get in today.
00:44:45.660
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops or as I like to call them, the American Union of Highling Shepherds.
00:44:53.220
What are they going on about now on climate change at precisely the moment that the arch priest of climate change, Bill Gates, has pivoted away from it?
00:45:05.020
What's the, what, how are they going on with the hoax here?
00:45:07.080
They have a, the USCCB and Catholic Relief Services have released a statement because in Brazil there's going to be the COP30 meeting, which is a big deal to these, these people.
00:45:21.480
They say climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation are devastating communities already burdened by poverty, exclusion.
00:45:29.480
Farming and fishing families confront threats to their livelihoods.
00:45:32.920
Indigenous peoples and their ancestral lands, children's health, safety, and futures are at risk.
00:45:38.440
And they, they want to make sure that, that we all know that this is happening and that Pope Leo has said, listen to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.
00:45:48.940
And so the statement here is just, the thing that really strikes me about it is that Catholic Relief Services is involved in it.
00:45:57.860
You know, well, how does this affect what they do?
00:46:00.380
What they do is supposed to be helping people that, that are needy.
00:46:04.920
The thing, the thing is that we had a piece at the, at the site this week, a study ahead of this says that only 3% of the international climate aid is going to transition in communities.
00:46:15.760
That means the, the people that are actually going to be implementing all this stuff.
00:46:20.080
So these bishops are going to go there and they're going to plan like every single aspect of your life.
00:46:25.740
And it's never going to trickle down to the actual people.
00:46:30.140
This study shows that only none of the money is going to the people.
00:46:33.040
They, and they make the farmers do like things like farm mangoes when they farmed rice and it screws everything up and they want to plan our economy.
00:46:41.340
The Catholic Relief Services is get, and it's all about the funding.
00:46:45.960
It's about the management level getting funding.
00:46:49.740
And, and these bishops, who do they think they are?
00:46:51.380
They're going to talk about the economy, a just transition to a sustainable economy.
00:46:58.160
That means, listen, we're going to give you our money, maybe.
00:47:02.800
And you, the vulnerable communities aren't getting it.
00:47:05.160
And you know who those vulnerable communities are in this society that they're creating with the bishops and Catholic Relief Services?
00:47:12.900
It's the billions that are waiting for them to give us an economy.
00:47:19.560
So, you're, you're, you're both on a roll today.
00:47:26.580
That is, as we said on this show, this is spiritual prostration to Gaia, the pagan earth goddess.
00:47:35.660
Here's also, here's what else they said in their statement.
00:47:37.860
They said, it's a, and I quote, it's a sacred opportunity, a sacred opportunity to restore relationships and renew creation at a time when the gift of life is under grave debt.
00:47:50.680
This is, they use these totally extraneous concepts to Christianity and splash on the veneer of Christian vocabulary, assuming that you, the faithful, are too stupid to see what they're doing.
00:48:05.460
This is an absolute hijacking and infiltration of the Catholic Church.
00:48:12.120
And we on the war room, the war room posse, we will oppose it.
00:48:16.820
We've got about two minutes and it's not time to do this one justice.
00:48:20.400
Perhaps start off, but it's an extremely important development.
00:48:23.940
Just can you give me 90 seconds on the doctrinal note that Smoochie Fernandez put out this week?
00:48:34.080
Matera Popoli Fidelis, mother of the faithful people of God.
00:48:40.700
Fernandez, Tucho Fernandez, the cardinal from Argentina, the favorite of Pope Francis.
00:48:47.760
Kissy face, as I call him, heal me with your mouth.
00:48:50.780
The porn poet of the Vatican issued this doctrinal note regarding the expression in title of the blessed mother as co-redeemed tricks.
00:49:02.840
And what it says is that this is not an appropriate description of Mary's cooperation in salvation.
00:49:11.460
There has been a huge pushback on social media.
00:49:31.720
Blessing a pride parade in St. Peter's is appropriate.
00:49:35.580
Blessing a block of ice in the Vatican is appropriate.
00:49:39.440
Saying all religions lead to God is appropriate.
00:49:42.320
But the blessed mother is not the co-redeemed tricks, the mediator of grace to Jesus Christ and to God.
00:49:57.820
They said, oh, we've had a lot of questions about this title.
00:50:02.420
All they are doing is neutering the dogma of the Catholic Church, erasing all liturgy for the sake of the new Synodal Church, which is the one world religion.
00:50:16.820
The one thing I'd pick on is I don't think this is being done to make the Catholic Church appealable to Protestants.
00:50:24.060
Because the people who are pushing this aren't even, aren't Christian.
00:50:28.220
They're doing this to diminish the power of the Catholic faith.
00:50:33.260
Liz, where do people go on social media to keep up with your superb analysis throughout the week?
00:50:39.860
On Substack, Elizabeth, your Twitter, social media all over, and your children is my website.
00:50:57.540
Type it in your address bar, and also you can see the daily update at Gloria TV and at Rumble.
00:51:06.760
Frank, you basically have the weight of the Catholic, of the authentic Catholic media on your shoulders.
00:51:12.240
I can't praise or compliment what you're doing more highly.
00:51:16.500
And I'll quickly mention Semper Femina, always a lady.
00:51:26.000
My thanks to Spencer and Will at Denver and to Cameron Wallace for producing the show.
