Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 943： Top Neuroscientist Deconstructs How POTUS Wrongfoots Opponents And German Elites Importing Crime

00:00:00.000 this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going to

00:00:10.520 medieval on these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people

00:00:17.100 the people have had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do

00:00:21.280 everything in the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and

00:00:24.640 where do people like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of

00:00:32.460 these people had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer

00:00:39.560 is to save my country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k band

00:00:48.080 friday 6th of february anno domini 2026 carnwell here at the helm folks unbelievably enough we have

00:00:57.720 made it through to friday and what a week it's been um now something that the international bureau has

00:01:04.080 been following quite a lot this morning and i'm going to read out some headlines from from the press

00:01:09.920 just today here's a couple from the day from the uk's daily telegraph u.s tell citizens to leave

00:01:15.700 iran now and how iran plans to go to war with the us and win and from the new york times we have iran

00:01:23.920 is at work on missile and nuclear sites satellite images show and the wall street journal comes in

00:01:30.460 with a second wave of popular anger is building in iran i says there is something going on and i'm

00:01:37.480 hearing that myself right now there is a drum beat the war toxins are certainly increasing 0.56

00:01:44.120 um in frequency and volume so at these kind of moments who better to bring on the show than the

00:01:52.400 war room's favorite neuroscientist specializing in war dr stephen wright dr wright dr nicholas wright

00:01:59.620 excuse me dr wright thank you for coming on once again um to help break this down you're also going

00:02:05.460 to tell us a little bit um in the second half of your segment about uh venezuela how how your insights

00:02:14.260 tie in to both these arenas let's start off with iran because that's the one in the news right now

00:02:19.240 you you've been making the claim that right now you think the united states is emerging in um into an

00:02:26.840 era of new type of warfare um but fundamentally this is always tied back to how the brain

00:02:34.120 is wired right um tell us uh your thesis as applied to what's going on in yeah the middle east right

00:02:42.480 now so i think you know back in 2003 the invasion of iraq by the united states was about regime change

00:02:51.460 it was about um changing the regime and then implementing a new regime bringing a new regime

00:02:56.280 in iraq and the united states is prepared to do what it took to to create that new regime i don't think

00:03:01.720 that's any more how the united states is thinking about things i think that now it is going back to

00:03:07.240 a much older um uh way of using lethal force or the threat of lethal force which is that you are trying

00:03:15.840 to create effects in other countries somewhere like iran now if you can get them to change what

00:03:25.100 they're doing either because the regime changes what it's doing chooses to do or because that part

00:03:32.200 of part of the regime is overthrown and and for example a military dictatorship takes over or whatever

00:03:37.000 then you can achieve your goals and the goals for the united states i think now are and this is

00:03:45.060 really certainly i think you know if you read a lot of what is said it's not so much about democracy

00:03:51.040 promotion anymore it is not about spreading american ideas so much directly uh in somewhere like iran

00:03:59.220 anymore i think it's much more about um increasing american and american allies like israel uh and saudi

00:04:08.740 arabia increasing their security their profits and their power and to some extent however that's achieved 0.71

00:04:17.400 in iran i think that's that's the way the us will go and that's new in our time although of course it's

00:04:23.960 how most of the world has acted uh you know throughout human history um so you're making the claim here

00:04:31.840 that engagement even a bombing of iran right now is not to be confused with say the 1990s or the 2010

00:04:41.980 2010s um um neocon agenda you're saying very very not the 1990s or or the noughties the 20 noughties

00:04:50.740 it's not the old neocon agenda um and you said something interesting that this is increasing this

00:04:56.860 is all about increasing america's allies in the region tell me however if america it overthrows the

00:05:05.820 regime let me just throw this out to you if america overthrows the ayatollah and the mullahs in

00:05:11.940 generally um do you think america can just leave it there and say to its regional allies okay

00:05:19.340 israel you clear up uh we're off now we've job done and this or will this not be a case of binding

00:05:27.120 the america in and if it is um because a lot of the america first movement within the broader

00:05:35.660 maga movement a lot of people who follow the war room uh will basically think well okay so the 0.61

00:05:39.880 motives might be different they might be more um admirable or defendable this time around but the

00:05:46.420 end consequence is is that america is going to be tied in to the middle east when it needs to be

00:05:52.680 spending its resources more on the domestic agenda so i mean that that's that's for americans

00:06:00.440 to to decide uh how much it wants to spend abroad but i think it's it's always important to remember

00:06:06.120 that if other great powers dominate the eurasian land mass then you know america is not going to be

00:06:12.900 secure even if the america even if the united states dominated the whole of the western hemisphere

00:06:17.300 that is now only about 13 percent of the world's population right so america cannot um entirely

00:06:25.620 withdraw uh purely to the western hemisphere and even if it did do that that doesn't mean other

00:06:30.960 countries won't be worried about what america could choose to do remember the japanese were the ones who

00:06:35.620 bombed pearl harbor right people will always be worried other countries would always be worried about

00:06:40.340 what america could choose to do so america i think has to at least to some extent remain engaged in the

00:06:45.560 world the question is how can it do that in a way and this is my understanding of of how things are

00:06:52.500 changing in some of the american debates now how can it do that in a way that is economically

00:06:59.000 sustainable right so if you go back to somebody like eisenhower president eisenhower in the early

00:07:05.000 part of the cold war what he tried to do is is he tried to use things like covert action

00:07:10.420 um and effective cost effective ways to create effects uh in the world that made america

00:07:19.220 and its allies more secure and um and and and enabled the united states um to uh you know get

00:07:27.500 more profits and more money for the united states in the long run right and i think that is to some

00:07:34.480 extent what we're going back to right it's much less about democracy promotion it's much more about

00:07:39.880 trying to run a world that is uh more profitable for the united states the counter argument to that dr

00:07:49.000 right would of course be that what ike and of course the the post-war presidents set up was

00:07:55.820 effectively uh intentionally or not is what they ended up with is is the military industrial complex

00:08:01.520 now that made the mic made a lot of money um out of being present all all around the world you

00:08:10.660 know with the cia doing its covert operations destabilizing governments left right and center and you can

00:08:16.780 sort of with the backdrop of the of the um of the cold war you can sort of understand that the the

00:08:22.940 dynamics as you were illustrating with around that if we don't get in there um one of our one of our

00:08:29.720 geo political rivals will do um but a lot of people have said okay it's just basically that this is

00:08:38.180 that i think a lot of the the anger within the maga movement is the idea building up from 2015 on which

00:08:46.000 that you know is the wrong people that was making money out of this this was going into the munitions

00:08:51.760 armaments the whole the whole bankrolling of the the military industrial complex one of the large

00:08:58.480 reasons one of the significant reasons that america is now 38 was it 0.3 trillion dollars in debt and

00:09:05.560 growing um so of course the the counter argument would be that yeah okay so perhaps china and russia

00:09:14.820 um you know if we don't go in there and overthrow the uh the muller's china and um and russia will just 0.98

00:09:25.300 go in there and continue to exploit iran for oil and all the rest of it um but i think there are a lot

00:09:31.440 of people that say well okay you know but we still have problems on the domestic agenda that we need to

00:09:37.780 deal with we can't anymore afford to be the world's policeman yeah and and i think that um i think

00:09:45.460 there's a huge amount of truth to that um i think the challenge is always how do you balance what you

00:09:51.120 need to do domestically with what you need to do abroad um and i think right let's always just step

00:09:56.720 back and and think about the really big uh challenge the united states faces right now which is that

00:10:02.740 china uh not the united states china is the world's manufacturing superpower right china manufactures

00:10:10.840 more uh stuff than the next four or maybe even nine countries in the world combined it now has more

00:10:17.820 uh robotized it has more robots uh in its manufacturing per a thousand manufacturing workers it has more robots

00:10:26.340 than any g7 country right um it now leads in many things like battery technology and and like drones

00:10:34.180 and and a variety of other really cutting edge um technologies and advanced manufacturing techniques

00:10:40.080 now that is the challenge the united states faces in the world um now how can the united states meet

00:10:47.120 that challenge bearing in mind it is now completely outproduced by china in terms of manufacturing and advanced

00:10:52.060 manufacturing capability so how can it compete right now the united states still has uh the finest

00:10:58.640 military in the world right so you know we're going to talk about uh venezuela a bit later that the

00:11:04.440 venezuela raid i don't think any other country in the world could have done what the united states did

00:11:08.580 in venezuela it required incredibly advanced high-end um capabilities to take out the uh venezuelan air

00:11:17.100 defenses and and that enabled the u.s special forces to go in and capture maduro the the leader of

00:11:25.020 venezuela right i don't think any other country in the world could have done that right the british for

00:11:29.160 example have special forces uh people who could do that but i don't think we would have the capability

00:11:34.040 to take out all the air defenses in the way the u.s did now this is if the u.s is going to compete

00:11:41.340 against china if it is going to have the capacity to compete against china which as i said outmatches 0.98

00:11:47.600 the u.s in manufacturing capability the u.s i think is going to or this is one version of how it could

00:11:54.640 do it is to build um its networks across the world to give it additional and extra leverage now right now

00:12:02.980 it's the only country that can really do that as effective as it does um but of course china is 0.99

00:12:09.260 growing in capabilities all the time and i think what the united states could you know probably

00:12:15.360 usefully think of is to use this window of opportunity to use its remarkable military

00:12:20.120 capabilities now to influence regimes like iran and make them more um uh consistent with helping pay

00:12:29.940 uh as you said pay for you know the the u.s military presence in the middle east and so on

00:12:35.420 and that could be a way the u.s can meet its really you know big challenge in this era which is china

00:12:43.440 stand by dr wright um i'm going to come back to you just after we give a quick shout out

00:12:51.180 to to one of the show's sponsors i'm going to ask you to tie in now the general geopolitical outlay

00:12:59.700 which you've been describing with regards to the middle east china and the u.s facing pretty unique

00:13:07.380 challenges there to tie that in to the hard hard wiring of the brain which is of course your your

00:13:13.160 speciality first however um quick word about the patriots edition here um for the war room this is

00:13:22.980 the the response of the book here that we've been announcing has been absolutely overwhelming

00:13:28.960 war room listeners have moved so fast as i'm sure you're all aware birch gold has nearly exhausted

00:13:34.600 its supply of the end of the dollar empire patriots edition and they've greenlit one final print run

00:13:42.100 but supplies are still extremely limited 200 years of betrayal four years of documentation and now

00:13:51.320 because of massive demand birch gold is giving away to patriots one last chance to get

00:13:57.940 the end of the dollar empire patriots edition which details all about how america has been robbed

00:14:04.740 and uh you know this very much you feel it and tens of thousands of war room listeners agree

00:14:11.540 so the first run of the end of the dollar empire patriots edition has nearly vanished and birch gold

00:14:17.920 have approved one more printing and this really will be the end so what i'm about to tell you now

00:14:23.160 it should make you very angry it should make you act for 200 years the fed and congress have been

00:14:28.740 selling out to the american people over the last four years um and this has all been detailed by steve

00:14:36.760 bannon in the end of the dollar empire series so uh you want the compilation here of all six volumes

00:14:44.960 compiled into one limited edition printed book tells the full story of how america's financial

00:14:51.920 system has been hijacked by the fed by congress by the global elites tells you all about how the fed

00:14:58.300 manipulates global markets how congress has betrayed your nine has betrayed you 90 times

00:15:05.020 for greed and the personal strategy that steve bannon has developed for protecting his own

00:15:13.240 finances when this whole thing finally breaks you cannot buy this book anywhere not in stores

00:15:19.940 not on amazon it's an exclusive offer to birch gold group and unlike previous editions this one is

00:15:26.880 printed it's physical and finite we thought the first run would last weeks it didn't so we

00:15:33.380 it says birch gold has approved one more print run and because it's such a rare release it's still

00:15:39.560 limited to war room listeners to make the purchase from birch gold group but only if you do it by the

00:15:46.640 new extended deadline of february the 27th to claim eligibility for your copy text bannon to 989898

00:15:54.400 that's bannon b-a-n-n-o-n to 989898 and you'll also get birch gold's free gold ira info kit and then after

00:16:04.320 you make a purchase from birch gold before february the 27th the patriots edition is yours for free so

00:16:12.460 don't wait these copies will disappear fast text bannon to 989898 right now to claim your eligibility

00:16:20.160 and get yours before they're gone back now to dr nicholas right so you've been explaining then

00:16:27.420 dr right how america faces pretty unique challenges and this is the backdrop to the increasing tension

00:16:34.220 that we've been reading about in the press over the last 48 hours tell us um as an expert in help us

00:16:41.680 navigate if these are the outer manifestations of what's going on in the hidden wiring of the brain

00:16:47.240 tie it back to your area of expertise yeah so i think what we've got to think of here if the

00:16:54.120 united states is now not going to be dominating countries with hundreds of thousands of troops

00:16:58.600 which is where we were not not that long ago it is going to have to influence people right in other

00:17:05.980 places so those people choose to do what is in the better interest of the united states right and the

00:17:13.100 united states allies and indeed in their own better interests hopefully in the long run so how can it

00:17:19.160 do that the united states can do that by uh affecting how those people choose to make decisions right and

00:17:27.140 that necessarily involves their psychology it necessarily involves their brains so for example if

00:17:32.480 you're thinking about um the leaders of states like iran or venezuela right the unpredictability

00:17:40.180 of donald trump is actually quite effective so we know that um one of the biggest uh um um like one

00:17:48.140 of the basic principles of our brain works is that our brain um really cares about things that are

00:17:54.420 surprising things that are unpredictable that they often have by far the biggest impact uh on us and how

00:18:00.840 we understand the world and make our decisions so when president trump for example is unpredictable

00:18:05.200 that helps him influence the leaders of countries like venezuela or iran now in addition to that we

00:18:13.340 also need to think about how can any regime run any country right how can one person lead 10 people

00:18:22.200 or one person lead a thousand people or a million people or 10 million people and that comes down to

00:18:29.100 the ability uh of those people to tap to sit at the top of social hierarchies right within their within

00:18:37.020 their countries now that again that's about their brains now if the united states is going to um uh be able

00:18:44.640 to uh influence these countries effectively right and and not spend huge amounts of money doing it

00:18:52.040 then for example it may well be that what it ends up doing is installing leaders or um encouraging regimes

00:19:00.100 that may not be democratic but you know just as in the cold war in guatemala or um for example in chile

00:19:10.200 um are more amenable to u.s interests now that may not be something that we want to do morally

00:19:16.860 uh and in addition to that that may be something that uh is uh an effective way of achieving u.s goals

00:19:27.040 at least uh in in the near term would you just you said something um

00:19:32.680 quite really quite profound there i wouldn't mind if you would just hit that again about how

00:19:39.960 the the the human brain is wide to handle unpredictability as a phenomenon and how donald trump

00:19:48.220 is using his um in reticulous unpredictability to try to um manipulate the responses of his adversaries

00:20:00.120 would you mind just sort of um covering that again for me yeah so so the way our brains work

00:20:06.880 is the whole time our brains are making predictions about the world so you know there's too much

00:20:12.940 information coming in all the time for us to just sort of see it like it's on a passive television

00:20:17.700 set in our brain the way our brains actually work is is we're constantly making um predictions about

00:20:23.720 how the world works what we're going to be seeing what we're going to be doing we work

00:20:27.400 um using predictions now what happens is that when those predictions are wrong right when you expect

00:20:34.680 something to happen and it doesn't happen or you're not expecting something and then suddenly

00:20:38.280 it happens that is a prediction error that's a surprise right and that those surprises are the

00:20:46.400 things that change our models of the world that really affect our decision making now um we can see

00:20:53.060 that for example in two different ways now with what's happening with iran right so the first thing is

00:20:58.420 is that you know nobody doubts that donald trump is unpredictable and he could choose to do a range

00:21:05.540 of different things right as a consequence of that um people are generally going to be affected

00:21:12.700 and deterred in my opinion although you can argue about that they're going to be affected by that more than

00:21:19.780 somebody who is very predictable right now in addition to that we also have for example why

00:21:28.400 is he now going to be under political pressure to do something in it with iran right and this again

00:21:34.340 comes down to he's created an expectation where now you and i are literally talking about it right now

00:21:39.180 we're predicting that he's going to be doing something and therefore if he doesn't do something

00:21:44.540 then that him not doing it is then a surprise right he set up the expectation a prediction

00:21:49.800 he's going to be doing something if he doesn't do it then that in itself is a surprise and therefore

00:21:55.200 that will have a big impact so we in all of our lives we we are constantly um uh thinking about

00:22:04.460 how the world's going to be is it going to be more predictable is it going to be less predictable

00:22:09.000 and this is a basic way that you can uh affect um others and just to give you one great example this

00:22:16.520 is actually something that taylor swift does so taylor swift wrote a piece in the wall street journal

00:22:22.240 in which she said the way that you build relationships with your fans is through surprise

00:22:26.440 right um not not shock but surprise and so she for example will often turn up and suddenly play the

00:22:32.180 guitar behind somebody a fan or whatever and that will be on social media so this is just

00:22:36.460 an effective way of communicating and that type of communication could be on social media for taylor swift

00:22:42.960 it could be between governments right and this is and the reason is is that it's a basic feature

00:22:49.500 of how our brains work everybody's brains

00:22:52.740 i've seen since i've been studying um donald trump over the last 10 years some geopolitical analysts

00:23:02.900 have suggested that um what this goes back to the first term right um that his strategy was was the

00:23:10.920 madman strategy which is just to be chaotic um so chaotic people would fear to to to slight america

00:23:21.440 because they don't quite know how he would respond and that you know i think that there's a there's a

00:23:26.960 certain logic um in that but the way you're um as a neuroscientist the way you've outlined this

00:23:32.960 you've actually gone really far more into this um into the neuroscience um behind this um and then tied

00:23:43.620 it together on on a psychological level so just basically to recap what you're saying then is that

00:23:49.960 human brains because they are bombarded with far more information than they could possibly process

00:23:58.380 on a day-by-day basis in order to survive with that bombardment of information human brains rely

00:24:06.500 on predictability in order to to to put a pattern um in all the information they're being presented with

00:24:14.100 to be able to handle it and and work around it yeah because therefore the brain is hardwired

00:24:21.220 as part of that pattern seeking approach that that sort of that predictability approach so you can

00:24:27.980 sort of preempt add um you can preempt what's going to happen predict what's going to happen

00:24:35.060 and act accordingly to get an advantage donald trump and this you know this is really quite genius

00:24:41.400 as a level of psychology this is you know i'm amazed i mean you must be amazed that that a layman

00:24:48.560 would be able to intuitively pick this up um like a businessman a property development

00:24:55.220 property development property developer would pick this up intuitively and use it in such an

00:25:02.120 outstanding way to guide the most economically militarily financially culturally powerful nation on on

00:25:10.820 um on the planet right it is pretty amazing that that that on a psychological level yeah he has

00:25:17.280 intuited sort of what you spent sort of 20 years as an academic understanding looking at the hidden

00:25:23.600 wiring of the brain here yeah and i mean the thing is also i mean surprise will always be

00:25:30.980 a tool that can be used and he is good at using surprise which is one of the reasons why you know also

00:25:36.860 for example he's a good entertainer you know when you listen to him he has good comic timing now again

00:25:41.600 it's a tool it doesn't necessarily mean that everything he's doing is right or it's necessarily

00:25:45.160 the best choice but he is obviously good at using these tools tools that tap into how our brains work

00:25:53.120 you've got about 30 seconds before we close the show let me give you a yes or no question sorry

00:26:00.720 dr right to put you on the spot okay do you think simply on this element that you're describing would

00:26:08.140 you say it's fair to describe donald trump as a genius how he does this no go on oh i thought you

00:26:17.080 wanted a yes or no so i gave you a no i would say that um for example this was something that richard

00:26:35.440 was used in fact they went through gaza interestingly so this has been a difficult period but this is

00:32:05.100 on to the the second block dr right i can't let you go right i have to say right i think from the way

00:32:13.260 you've outlined this to me that is absolutely genius right the the intuiting the intuiting of of the

00:32:21.960 needs of human psychology on on a human level without knowing that the background of the the neuroscience

00:32:28.560 which is obviously your forte your expertise to intuit how sort of to intuit how the human brain is is

00:32:39.320 functions on on a on a socially human level and to use that as a geopolitical advantage from a non 0.98

00:32:48.660 neuroscientist from a probably basically a from a property developer i think that is um look anyone who

00:32:56.440 follows me on getter knows that i'm not an uncritic i i i'm not an uncritical i mean i'm very much

00:33:02.040 admired donald trump but but sometimes i i will criticize him um as an analyst right um but this

00:33:09.680 i think is a case of chapeau hats off right i i'm very very impressed um and also that the way you sort

00:33:17.460 of outlined exactly as on on the neurological level um what i think the president has intuited i i

00:33:25.440 and you said you i said is that genius and you said no other because nixon was probably just the

00:33:30.780 same i would say okay fair enough then they're both geniuses um i'm more than happy to do that

00:33:35.580 look uh very grateful as always that you come on the show and bring your insights as a neuroscientist

00:33:41.600 to these things i think it's a perspective we don't hear anywhere else on cable television

00:33:46.700 um where do people go on social media to keep up with your analysis which is absolutely superb

00:33:53.380 oh thank you so um nicholas d wright on twitter uh and my book uh warhead how the brain shapes war

00:34:01.920 and war shapes the brain is uh is available wherever you uh you can even listen to me uh doing the

00:34:07.680 audio book perfect dr nicholas wright many many thanks indeed for for your time on the show catch up

00:34:15.020 again with you soon god bless for now brilliant thanks ben um okay so my next next guest um very

00:34:23.400 kindly has come on the show to explain something that has been absolutely horrifying the german public

00:34:29.820 erin agashahi thank you for for coming on the show erin basically an 18 year old girl was was

00:34:37.660 take was taken by a guy a 25 year old sudanese and dragged on to the train tracks before an approaching

00:34:47.360 train both were killed instantly there was no connection between these two individuals um i think

00:34:54.900 the guy said to her i'm taking you with me um well he before he killed uh them both night this story

00:35:03.300 has sort of has electrified the debate in germany why don't you tell me a little bit more about what

00:35:08.900 has happened yes thank you so much for having me you know this is not your typical story about white

00:35:16.180 germans versus others it is a story about citizens of every background left alone with the risk that

00:35:24.500 their own elites created as you have already mentioned at a hamburg subway station an 18 year old iranian

00:35:32.420 woman was standing on the platform like any other commuter when a 25 year old man from south sudan

00:35:39.780 suddenly grabbed her and pulled her with him onto the tracks both were killed instantly that single

00:35:46.740 moment crystallizes a much larger problem a political class in germany that imports risk

00:35:54.260 under the banner of compassion and then asks the public to pretend there is nothing to see

00:36:02.420 political class imports risk under the banner writing stand under the banner of compassion

00:36:13.220 right perfect and then um asks gaslights the german people to say that there's nothing to see here tell me

00:36:21.860 that that's very that's very um elegant way of describing what's taking place and not of course

00:36:28.820 only in germany it's taking place right across the west tell me something as a german in germany about

00:36:37.140 the reaction to this it's not the first time it's happened it won't be the last time absolutely

00:36:42.500 and that it's happened but but what what how is this affecting the debate you know that's a very good

00:36:48.820 question in germany any attempt to talk seriously about foreign crime about the connection between

00:36:56.260 migration and security immediately triggers a moral alarm system historical guilt is activated like a

00:37:04.660 fire alarm the discussion is evacuated before it even can begin in the first place this means that the

00:37:12.340 people who live with the consequences of specific decisions made by the elites are told that they have

00:37:18.740 no right to describe what they see with their eyes the message is simple um you fear is illegitimate your

00:37:27.220 experience in your life is unspeakable your vocabulary is forbidden and we live in such a climate where

00:37:35.620 honesty becomes more dangerous than violence so many people walk in our streets it's called the cityscape right

00:37:45.060 what happened in the last 10 years after essentially the german government opened under chancellor

00:37:51.140 angela merkel our gates the cityscape in germany changed within one decade yet nobody feels able to

00:38:02.020 talk about it because of this alarm system i mentioned before

00:38:06.660 um stand by erin i'm gonna give a quick shout out to one of the show's and sponsors then i'm gonna

00:38:14.900 come back uh and continue the analysis folks if you're a homeowner you do need to listen to this

00:38:30.180 equity is the target here's how it works folks you know um at home you know exactly the the story by

00:38:37.460 now that criminals forge your signature on one document use a fake notary stamp pay a small fee

00:38:50.660 out loans using your equity or even sell your property outright you won't even know it's happened

00:38:55.700 until you get a collection or foreclosure notice so let me ask you when was the last time you checked

00:39:48.660 do so again very quickly text bannon to nine eight nine eight nine eight that's bannon b a double n

00:39:57.220 o n to nine eight nine eight nine eight back now with arian agashahi arian now um you mentioned that the

00:40:06.820 lady that was thrown under the train that was killed brutally killed by this 25 year old south sudanese

00:40:14.260 um was um of iranian origin and i i i get that's something that that you yourself will share with her

00:40:23.700 tell me about the iranian community in germany how i gather that there's sort of a lot of people are

00:40:32.580 saying we've had enough of all of this unrestricted immigration into germany which is fundamentally 0.72

00:40:39.460 transforming and damaging the um the the social fabric of uh uh of germany tell me more about that 0.95

00:40:47.860 yeah thank you so much you know to be german is not um only how you look of course there is a distinctive

00:40:56.980 ethnic look how germans appear but today german citizenship defines to be a german

00:41:05.620 so somebody like myself who has iranian origin is a german as a guy who is tall white and blonde hair

00:41:13.620 what we share is a certain set of values a certain step of principles and what happened is is that since

00:41:22.900 2015 essentially more than one million people so-called refugees who look like me for instance

00:41:32.420 come to this country but they don't share i don't share anything with them i share much more

00:41:40.100 if you want with the germans who are old and white because it's about the values the principles 1.00

00:41:46.660 and the way of life you are living and you want to live and what the left is doing the left is somehow

00:41:53.620 speaking on behalf of germans like myself who are actually suffering um due to the consequences of 0.96

00:42:02.740 immigration in germany as of that we need kind of protection from the evil white germans who only speak 0.99

00:42:11.940 critical about germans with the immigration background of about immigrants so your question is 0.64

00:42:20.180 very important because in western societies it is not only an issue of white people it is an issue of

00:42:29.220 every citizen every citizen suffers when you have uncontrolled illegal immigration and you can see what is 0.83

00:42:37.860 going on in the us in minneapolis in minnesota or you can see what is going on essentially at the train

00:42:44.580 station of every single big german town at least in the western german states the people who are

00:42:51.060 suffering they are the citizens they have multiple backgrounds and the left is trying to portray it as

00:42:58.980 some sort of this is white versus people of color which is definitely not the case

00:43:05.140 tell me something because something on the war room that we talk about quite a lot here is assimilation

00:43:15.780 and over recent years the west has been absorbing increasing numbers of people and especially from an

00:43:23.620 islamic background who have no desire to assimilate whatsoever and that's not your story okay um how do you

00:43:31.460 feel someone how do you feel as a german of iranian heritage um who loves his country his adoptive

00:43:40.020 country um or his his parents i should say adoptive country um you love germany um do you find the fact

00:43:51.300 that germany from especially under angela merkel absorbed so many people who do not

00:43:57.780 have any intention to assimilate that has made it more difficult for you and your family

00:44:04.740 on a day-to-day basis as regular germans because there's so much more suspicion in a country that

00:44:12.180 feels itself being overwhelmed by people who don't want to assimilate that the people who do want to

00:44:19.060 assimilate are sort of picking up some of the um the the anger yeah that is a very legitimate question

00:44:29.220 um you know um we in germany have certain traditions which date back centuries for instance when you have

00:44:38.660 christmas market during um the christmas period where we have um on marketplaces nice stands where you can

00:44:46.820 buy food you know 15 years ago um no family was thinking about if i go and visit with my little

00:44:56.900 daughter a christmas market there is a real risk that suddenly an illegal alien will come and drive with 0.98

00:45:05.620 the truck or do or commit any other crime so that we have actually a danger if we visit the christmas market

00:45:15.380 if you see how a christmas market in germany looks like today it's like a military barrack it's like a

00:45:21.860 fortress you have fortifications in the city around every entrance you have police and security forces

00:45:30.820 now you could say that you know this is what happens when you have globalization and it's not easy and

00:45:37.700 this is just part of how we develop in the world and it is not only about immigration to everybody who's

00:45:45.060 responding in this way i have one recommendation you know poland is the neighbor country of germany

00:45:52.500 just drive three hours with your car from berlin to wroclaw which was for many centuries a german city

00:46:00.980 which is now thankfully under polish control i must say and see how a european christian city can look 0.98

00:46:10.180 like beautiful safe clean families who are walking the street and enjoying their life so we did a

00:46:19.380 serious mistake and this mistake was to have unvetted illegal immigration and also legal migration don't

00:46:28.500 forget that the 25 year old south sudanese was not an illegal alien he actually came to germany based on a

00:46:38.500 resettlement program of the united nations and was classified as a vulnerable group

00:46:47.060 as a vulnerable person uh this was uh of course before he committed this uh trade tragedy

00:46:57.620 um yeah so basically not not everyone who's creating problems um in the world has entered um illegally would

00:47:07.620 you um i want to come back to the point though here because you can offer a

00:47:12.100 really unique and with the courage that you're speaking up on these things and you can really

00:47:17.060 offer a unique perspective um but i'd like to clarify if i if i if i if i may if i've synthesized

00:47:23.940 some of what you're saying um correctly it would it be fair to say um that the that they're bringing in

00:47:34.100 a global elites bringing in in such huge numbers people who have no intention to assimilate has made

00:47:44.260 the assimilation process of those people who do want to assimilate um into their adoptive countries

00:47:51.060 far more difficult is that is that a fair analysis yes definitely you know i wouldn't speak about a

00:47:57.940 global elite i think that you know the polish elite thankfully decided uh not to let this happen

00:48:04.500 the german elite on the other hand made the biggest mistake so it's about the decisions of the political

00:48:11.380 class in germany and you are absolutely right you know imagine a system a welfare state where you can

00:48:17.380 just come into a country you don't work at all and you will receive free health care you will receive

00:48:23.620 like kind of a free paycheck every month your rent is paid by the state the state is responsible for

00:48:30.900 finding an apartment or a housing place for you and assign this for you while you have people

00:48:37.860 like some in my family who work more than 40 hours per week at mcdonald's for more than 15 years

00:48:45.300 and essentially have the same living standard that 20 year old people who immigrated and don't want to

00:48:52.340 work now if you are 20 year old and came from whatever country and you have the decision of just

00:49:00.580 not doing anything and don't have to fear any sanction and still receiving all the welfare benefits

00:49:08.260 why should you go and work like clean the street or work in a hard job if at the end of the day because

00:49:16.340 due to the due to the tax burden and the bureaucracy you have the same living standard so it is a

00:49:24.660 multi-dimensional problem we have a welfare state which was created under otto von bismarck

00:49:32.260 more than 100 years ago based on the idea that you have people who work and after 30 years of work maybe

00:49:39.700 you have suddenly an accident at the workplace and then you need the people taking care of you and

00:49:46.340 this principle is now used by 20 year old migrants who emigrate here not to work and assimilate but to

00:49:54.900 just live a good life i mean if you are from a city from a nation where the living standard is much lower

00:50:02.340 than in germany and you can just come to germany and the state is essentially funding your life which is a

00:50:09.220 much better life than it was before you cannot even complain about the guy who is doing this you

00:50:16.340 need to address this directly to the failed policy of this government and it is a bipartisan it's not

00:50:23.380 about christian democrats social democrats green or left it is over more than 10 years now a bipartisan

00:50:34.580 failure with exception of course of the afd um just tell me just and if you give me 60 seconds or or less

00:50:44.420 as we approach the end of the show just tell me what has been the level of engagement or how have

00:50:50.740 people responded and engaged to the arguments that you're making in germany you know um i can make this

00:50:59.860 argument a bit more free than my fellow germans who look more typical german because you know my

00:51:07.140 parents came from iran to germany so the left guy cannot say hey you are just a white supremacist and

00:51:13.620 you want to repeat what happened uh under um the nazi regime in germany generally i can say it is really

00:51:21.620 really hard for the ordinary german guy to speak basic facts and truth about what is going on here

00:51:30.020 because of the pressure which will in consequence put on him when he speaks about it

00:51:38.660 erin agashahid that's very kind of you to come on the show and share your your um your analysis with us

00:51:45.460 where do people on social media go to keep up with your commentary you know i usually uh do linkedin i'm

00:52:14.660 uh assets uh more benefit than on social media folks folks go give arian agashahi follow on twitter
