This is what you're fighting for. | ||
I mean, every day you're out there. | ||
What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power. | ||
Because this is just like in Arizona. | ||
This is just like in Georgia. | ||
It's another element that backs them into a corner and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||
This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | ||
As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||
unidentified
|
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |
War Room, Battleground. | ||
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
Okay, continuing on our covered early evening show here at the Wyrm Friday, 17 November, year of our Lord 2023. | ||
I've got one of the guys that I always turn to To make it make sense when we talk about the Chinese Communist Party, well, really international national security, one of the most doubting guys. | ||
Before I bring him on, I want to make sure everybody goes over to birchgold.com slash Bannon right now, the end of the dollar empire. | ||
The four, they're totally free. | ||
The four big installments on understanding currency, how it plays a major role in international and geopolitics throughout the world, but particularly in your own personal life. | ||
Why being the prime reserve currency. | ||
Has been so absolutely essential to the rise of the United States as a as a world power in a world economy now comes with a lot of downside and obligations. | ||
And we should think that through as a nation, but what's happening in the de-dollarization movement in the world today is something that's quite frankly, driven by our elites and how they've made a financial shambles of our capital markets, particularly the bond market and the balance sheet of the United States of America. | ||
And with this massive overspending now every year, another $2 trillion that we have to finance. | ||
I mean, numbers that are just so egregious and so outside all of it. | ||
Birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
Also ask them when you go get Philip Patrick on the team. | ||
And ask them just a point-blank question. | ||
Why is our Federal Reserve so focused on the creation of fiat currency, adding to its balance sheet, although there may be a little quantitative tightening right now, but they've got $8 trillion sitting on that balance sheet. | ||
Why are the other central banks in the West, and I mean the European Central Bank, I mean, the Bank of Tokyo, the Bank of England, and of course, the Mac Daddy, the Federal Reserve. | ||
Why do they have $30 trillion of their own assets on it? | ||
In other words, how they've created more fiat currency in their own nations to back the fiscal irresponsibility of their legislatures. | ||
This is the story of the West. | ||
While the Chinese Communist Party has put together this new axis called the BRICS Nations, Right. | ||
And the BRICS nations are in a program of de-dollarization to get off the dollars, the prime reserve currency, to get off the SWIFT system. | ||
So the United States and the Federal Reserve cannot monitor all their actions. | ||
And why are they at the same time that the nations of the West and their central banks have $30 trillion of essentially phony assets on their balance sheet, that the BRICS nations are buying gold at record rates in 22 and 23. | ||
And now it's been revealed. | ||
That in the BRICS Nation's all-time record of buying gold, their central banks, that the Chinese Communist Party in 22 and 23 bought 25% of that. | ||
Did that come up the other night at the dinner when they gave the Xi, the murderous dictator, a standing ovation? | ||
Was that a topic of conversation with Larry Fink at the head table and Steve Schwartzman at the head table and Ray Dalio? | ||
All these individuals that have sold out the American people. | ||
Was that a topic of conversation? | ||
I don't think so, but you need to get savvy about it. | ||
You need to understand macroeconomics and kind of the world's capital markets. | ||
We're here to help you, assist you in that. | ||
The team at Phillip Patrick and Birchgold will definitely do it. | ||
Bill Gertz, I want to start. | ||
It was offensive to this audience, not simply to see Xi there, but you could kind of tell besides Telling the Taiwanese people of reaffirming the one China policy which Xi needed more than anything. | ||
He needs a bailout. | ||
The meeting was about the traders that met with him. | ||
The 400 traders that met with him at that dinner gave him a standing ovation. | ||
Help us think through what happened. | ||
You're the top expert. | ||
You're the national security correspondent and columnist for the Washington Times. | ||
You've been at this. | ||
You've got better sources. | ||
You've been at this a long time. | ||
You've been a mentor for me for many decades. | ||
We'll walk through what's going on. | ||
Yeah, hi, Steve. | ||
Basically, this was a huge propaganda coup for the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
And as you mentioned at the dinner, this was really the most significant aspect of the of the visit. | ||
And it was during this speech that he gave and Xinhua posted it online. | ||
He said the big question is whether the US is going to be a competitor or a partner or an adversary. | ||
And guess what? | ||
He said, if they're going to be a partner, they have to do what he called mutual respect. | ||
And you know what that means? | ||
That means accepting that the US must accept socialism with Chinese characteristics or Marxism-Leninism with Chinese characteristics. | ||
He's promoting communist ideology. | ||
And basically, if the US accepts that, it means that we are losing the ideological war and they are engaged I want to go back over this because this is the key point at dinner. | ||
Give me that speech again. | ||
What did he say? | ||
Because I keep telling people if you buy into the competitor part, I mean he basically said you're either with us or you're against us. | ||
Right? | ||
Yeah. | ||
But if you're with us, if you're with us, you've got to kind of be like us. | ||
I mean, this is the Thucydides trap where you've got to start taking on the characteristics of the rising power since you're the declining power or there's going to be a global conflict. | ||
I mean, he basically laid out the thesis of Graham Allison and Henry Kissinger's Thucydides trap, did he not? | ||
Yeah, basically the three demands that the Chinese are making of the Biden administration, which has a totally false narrative that we're headed for war with China, as you mentioned. | ||
That's a totally false narrative. | ||
The Chinese are playing on that, and they've called for three things, mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation. | ||
Mutual respect, he said, means not seeking to undermine the communist system. | ||
And this is what he said, I'll quote, the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics has been found under the guidance of the theory of scientific socialism, and is rooted in the tradition of the Chinese civilization with an Uninterrupted history of more than 5,000 years. | ||
We are proud of our choice just as you are proud of yours. | ||
First of all, The Chinese people hate the Communist Party of China. | ||
So this is another false narrative. | ||
And of course, peaceful coexistence. | ||
According to a senior administration official during the meeting, Xi told Biden that the Taiwan issue is the most dangerous issue with the US. | ||
And he wants the United States to back off It's legal obligation to provide defensive arms to Taiwan. | ||
And of course win-win cooperation means win-win for Beijing. | ||
It doesn't mean win-win for China and the United States. | ||
Let's go to the most dangerous. | ||
I mean, the point of the first meeting Yeah, the one-China policy is a total canard. | ||
reaffirmed the one China policy but in doing that send a signal to the people in Taiwan that America is not with you so therefore the KMT is teed up and within 60 days to win this all-important election in January 2024. | ||
Is it not? Yeah, yeah the one China policy is a total canard. | ||
There are two one China policies. China's one China policy says that they have sovereignty over Taiwan. | ||
The US one-China policy, we have never recognized Chinese sovereignty. | ||
We say it's an unresolved issue. | ||
So there are two differences here. | ||
So they mouth these platitudes, again, these buzz phrases, mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, one-China policy. | ||
You know, Biden was asked during the press conference after his meeting, are you going to reassert again That the US will use military force to defend Taiwan. | ||
And unfortunately, he failed to do it. | ||
He said, he basically repeated the mantra, we're going to follow the one China policy. | ||
As long as the United States is strong, and Indo-Pecan is strong, maybe less so Indo-Pecan Commander Aquilino, but Definitely. | ||
Admiral Paparo, who's the Pacific Fleet Commander, he has no illusions. | ||
The military is doing lots of big, large-scale exercises in the Pacific. | ||
We're doing it with the Japanese, with the Filipinos. | ||
As long as we can continue that and don't back down and don't show weakness or appeasement, which is provocative, I think we'll be okay. | ||
But right now, The next year is going to be the total opportunity for China to attack Taiwan. | ||
The conditions are perfect. | ||
Everything. | ||
We're distracted with Ukraine. | ||
We're distracted with the Middle East. | ||
There's a possibility that Trump could be reelected in November. | ||
So between now and next November is an extremely dangerous time for the Chinese invasion of Taiwan, possibly. | ||
But hold it, but when you say that, how can we even have that conversation when, let's go to the 400. | ||
When you go to the 400, you sit there and you see that they, we have worked, as you know, with you in the Trump administration, both before and really after, to do this thing called decoupling, to actually decouple. | ||
That is why she needs a bailout. | ||
The decoupling's working. | ||
It's exposing the true weakness in their economy. | ||
It's exposing the Ponzi scheme that is their residential and commercial real estate. | ||
And it's exposing it most to the Chinese people, who now hate them more than ever. | ||
That decoupling has worked. | ||
The more we've cut, and this is the great victory that Roger Robinson and the team had in actually getting the government pension funds, which is almost a trillion dollars, to formally come out and say we're not going to put into mutual funds, we're not going to put into these international funds things that have investments in Chinese companies or in Hong Kong companies. | ||
It was a massive win. | ||
That decoupling is exactly opposite what the 400 want to, they call it de-risking. | ||
I told people this is the new term of art. | ||
De-risking means we got to get back in there and the reason they want to get back in there The world makes a fortune off the slave labor of the Chinese people. | ||
Remember, when they're making a fortune off the slave labor of Chinese people, part of that is the suppression of wages in the West. | ||
They don't need to manufacture here. | ||
They don't need the higher labor costs, or quite frankly, the higher environmental costs and safety costs, because they're running slave labor camps essentially over there, all of them. | ||
Yeah. | ||
E-risking is one of three fatal flaws. | ||
It's one of three fatal flaws of the Biden administration. | ||
unidentified
|
laws. Go ahead. Go ahead. Give me the three fatal flaws. | |
Three fatal flaws of the Biden administration. The first step was in in early 2021. Wendy Sherman went to China. | ||
The Chinese gave her a list of demands, like 20 demands. | ||
At the top of the list was that the United States must not undermine the communist system. | ||
And they've agreed to do that. | ||
We hear this constantly from the Secretary of State and from Biden himself. | ||
We're not in a new Cold War, yet China's waging a Cold War. | ||
The second was this idea of removing decoupling as a goal. | ||
They said they're not going to decouple. | ||
They're basically going to de-risk, which is again, a bailout. | ||
So the Biden administration, under Janet Yellen as the Treasury Secretary, she's the lead pro-China person. | ||
She comes from that whole milieu. | ||
And she's going to bail out the Chinese economy and we should not do it. | ||
We've done it so many times. | ||
We did it after the Cultural Revolution. | ||
We did it after Tiananmen. | ||
And now we're doing it again when the Chinese Communist Party could be on the ropes with the right amount of pressure. | ||
Talk to me about, then how are we supposed to defend Taiwan if it comes to crunch time? | ||
If it comes to crunch time, how are we going to build a consensus? | ||
Because the globalist financiers, you've got Ray Dalio, you've got Larry Fink, you've got Steve Schwarzman, you've got the industrialists, you had Boeing there, you had Apple. | ||
They're all going to tell the Biden administration, no, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
You can't do that. | ||
Walk me through, because now you're seeing coming together the financiers, the global corporatists, all of it, with the Uniparty, which has always been pro-CCP. | ||
And the reason they're pro-CCP, folks, you have to understand, they think we're a declining power. | ||
They don't believe in the precepts. | ||
This is why Morning Joe this morning was hammering on being Christian Nationalist. | ||
They don't believe in any of the foundational elements of the United States, and particularly they don't believe in you. | ||
In fact, they think you're a danger. | ||
This is why The Economist came out and has the greatest danger in 2024 is not the CCP, It's not climate change, those guys all believe it. | ||
It's not AI, right? | ||
It's not the wars in the Middle East or metastasizing in Ukraine or anywhere, the financial crisis, anything. | ||
The greatest threat to peace and prosperity is this audience. | ||
Suck on that, this audience. | ||
So how are we supposed to get a consensus bill when you got the elites in this country are all in on the CCP? | ||
It's a huge, huge threat. | ||
Like I said, the next 12 months are going to be the most dangerous period. | ||
And the problem here is that there are literally American Marxists within the Biden administration who regard the CCP and CCP-ruled China as the model for the future. | ||
These are people that are Marxists themselves and are sympathetic. | ||
They come from the old New Left radicals, and they're working against the United States interests. | ||
They don't see engagement, financial engagement, Diplomatic engagement with China as a threat. | ||
This is a real problem. | ||
This whole concept of de-risking is to say, well, we're going to carve out a separate area of our high technology that we won't share. | ||
We'll give them advanced chips, but just I just did a big investigative piece for the Washington Times, which identifies a new high technology center in Ningbo, which is south of Shanghai. | ||
Which is basically set up entirely to steal advanced American technology. | ||
They're hiring the top scientists from UCLA, from Georgia Institute of Technology, from Duke University. | ||
And this is just something that we've just recently uncovered. | ||
So if we don't take a realistic approach, de-risking is not enough. | ||
Allowing financial engagement with the PRC is false. | ||
It's also going to support the Chinese military, which is engaged in A massive nuclear buildup and also a massive conventional force buildup as well. | ||
Can you name some names of who in the Biden regime is the worst neo-Marxist? | ||
When we talk about communism and we talk about Marxism and the way it's applied, or socialism with Chinese characteristics, The five wealthiest families in the world, or the five wealthiest factions, ain't the Saudis. | ||
It's not the royal families in the Middle East. | ||
It's not the aristocracy that's still living in Europe. | ||
I'll break the heart of a few war room posse listeners. | ||
It's not the Rothschilds. | ||
The greatest wealth, and it's not Gates and Musk, the wealthiest families and factions in the world are the four or five factions that control the CCP. | ||
They control one of the greatest countries in the history of man. | ||
They control China, and they control 1.4 Laobaijing. | ||
Decent, hard-working Chinese people. | ||
Remember, there's only 90 million communists. | ||
Of that, only a handful matter. | ||
Those families are wealthy. | ||
They own half of midtown Manhattan. | ||
They've laundered the money and bought politicians. | ||
David Cameron's on the payroll. | ||
There's politicians all over. | ||
Here's what they want. | ||
They want state capitalism with authoritarian control. | ||
That's the Chinese model. | ||
Remember, the whole theory of the case is that as we liberalized and gave them more opportunities in World Trade Organization, most favored nation, and we put capital over there, they were going to become liberal. | ||
They were going to become Jeffersonian Democrats. | ||
Capitalism was going to change them. | ||
The exact opposite happened. | ||
The elites in our country look to their model and go, you know what? | ||
I kind of dig that because otherwise, eventually I'm going to have Pat Buchanan's crowd, the Tea Party, Donald Trump's MAGA movement up in my grill that believe in the sovereignty of this nation. | ||
They have adapted the authoritarian state capitalism, a handful of companies that they can control and partner with. | ||
In biotechnology, in the arms industry, in media, all of it coupled with a government that has the administrative state in deep state dictatorial authoritarian control. | ||
That is the Chinese model. | ||
That is the model Xi pitches all over the world. | ||
That's the model he pitched 72 hours before Donald Trump gave his inaugural address, American Carnage. | ||
That's what he pitched in the game of standing ovation. | ||
This is essentially the model he pitched on Thursday night and 400 of the top capitalists quote-unquote in this country made successful by your pension fund money and the tax breaks given to you by given to them by politicians you've put in office stood up and rubbed up all over him, spooged all over him. | ||
They loved it. | ||
They absolutely loved it. | ||
They couldn't get enough. | ||
So Bill, where do we stand in trying to take that on? | ||
You say that the Chinese people hate them. | ||
They're the wealthiest people on earth. | ||
The American Lao-Beijing hate them. | ||
How do we overthrow this when the entire apparatus is now taking their model as the model for the future? | ||
It's not easy. | ||
It's definitely a challenge. | ||
I have not identified those neo-Marxists or post-Marxists, as you said, within the administration, but many of them are from the Obama administration, which, again, was the most left-wing administration in the history of the U.S. | ||
and really did extensive damage. | ||
The Marxists are in the three areas which are the central focus of the administration, that is, racialism, radical gender ideology and climate change. So those are the people behind the scenes that are influencing our China policy. In the beginning, they adopted many of the Trump administration policies towards China. And then we saw a marked shift just a year ago after Biden met with Xi in Indonesia. | ||
And now we're seeing the second phase of that when Biden met Xi again, and made a lot of concessions to the Chinese. This is an existential threat to the United States, this threat from China. | ||
And we have. | ||
The people running the government right now do not fully understand that this is not about a single dictator. | ||
This is about an ideology. | ||
This is about Marxism-Leninism with Chinese characteristics. | ||
which infused a certain flexibility within Marxist-Leninist ideology, and they're able to retrench, move back, move forward, and now they're moving ahead. | ||
They're aggressively advancing the ideology. | ||
Like I said, he spoke to the 400, as you mentioned, and he said, socialism is our goal. | ||
This is where they're going. | ||
And they couldn't recognize that this poses a threat to their very companies and their very existence and their very system of capitalism. | ||
I slightly disagree. | ||
I think Larry Fink with ESG. | ||
Everything they put in, DEI, CRT, ESG, into the capitalist system, remember to have you fired if you're some mid-level manager and don't go along with it, you get tossed and never get another job. | ||
That's the fear they put in people. | ||
The system they want is this system of totalitarian control. | ||
State capitalism coupled with totalitarian control. | ||
Larry Fink's comfortable with that because he's bought and paid for the government, the guys in the Senate and the House. | ||
This is why they're all putting their money against Trump. | ||
He doesn't know that he's undermining his own foundation for wealth, for the system that brought him that wealth. | ||
I totally disagree, and here's why. | ||
It hasn't stopped Wang Qishan from being one of the richest people in the world. | ||
Bloomberg introduces him in Singapore the other year. | ||
These guys are not... First off, the communists, like the Bolsheviks, like Putin, they're not living on a collective farm. | ||
And suffering the deprivations of the people under the boot. | ||
The CCP don't live like Lao Baijing, they live like an imperial China. | ||
They live in the imperial city. | ||
They live in, what's that, what's that area right next to the imperial city that Mao and all those guys took over from the imperial courtiers, right? | ||
They got that one section right next to it. | ||
They're living like, yeah, Jonah High. | ||
They live like kings. | ||
They live like emperors. | ||
They're the new emperors. | ||
Larry, do you think Larry Fink and these guys think that that's ever going to take away their wealth? | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
They think it's going to consolidate and concentrate their wealth. | ||
That's what I'm saying. | ||
They don't understand that. | ||
They don't understand what they're doing. | ||
They don't understand the communist system, and they don't understand this new era, as Xi Jinping calls it, that is advancing Marxism-Leninism aggressively. | ||
They're working around the world in the developing world. | ||
China under Xi Jinping has a program called National Rejuvenation. | ||
That is code for global supremacy of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
And the ultimate target of that, the only impediment It's Sun Tzu. | ||
she achieving that is the United States. So they are focusing all of their resources. This recent report from the China Commission has extensively about how they're using influence operations. | ||
You know, it's it's Sun Tzu. It's basically defeating your enemy without firing a shot. | ||
How can our people get smart? | ||
Particularly because she needs a bailout. | ||
That's one of the reasons he came over. | ||
What should our audience be looking for? | ||
You're the best out there. | ||
What should they be looking for that you believe would be important developments? | ||
Well, the only hope at this point is we've got the House Republicans at least making noises about trying to address some of these. | ||
I think Mike Gallagher on the Select Committee on the CCP is doing good work. | ||
He needs to get a more strategic approach to it, a more ideological approach. | ||
As I said, this is not about one dictator or one tyrannical system. | ||
This is about an ideology. | ||
Which is on the march around the world. | ||
And if we don't understand that ideology, I've been doing that through my Victory Over Communism podcast. | ||
We need a spiritual counter to communism. | ||
Communism presents a quasi-religious view of creating an ideal worker's paradise that has never been achieved and will never be achieved. | ||
So we need to get back to our spiritual roots. | ||
We need to get a Judeo-Christian understanding of the problems of society and then offer that vision as a counter. | ||
Bill, how can they get to your writings in the Washington Times, your substacks, all your writings in the podcast? | ||
My website is the Gertz file, gertzfile.com, and I have all of my stories, I have my columns, I have my book, my latest book, Deceiving the Sky, and I also have information about the podcast and other investigative reports. | ||
Bill Gertz, who's always been the best and a mentor of mine for many decades, as he has done the best job of anybody inside Washington, D.C. | ||
and media to expose the workings of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
His book, Deceiving the Sky, is a magnum opus to understand this. | ||
Brother Gertz, thank you so much for carving time out today to make us smarter. | ||
Thanks, Steve. | ||
Keep up the great work. | ||
Thanks, brother. | ||
Gertz is a fighter. | ||
They've come after Gertz so many times. | ||
Bill Gertz is a fighter. | ||
Uh, we're going to take a short break. | ||
Want to make sure everybody, my favorite to get, uh, you know, I gotta get pumped up for the afternoon show. | ||
You know, I get a little, you know, reach a certain age in the afternoon. | ||
I'm doing work all day from the morning show. | ||
What I do, I go put a pot of Warpath coffee on. | ||
Go to warpath.coffee slash war room. | ||
unidentified
|
Best dark roast ever roasted. | |
Roasted here in the United States of America. | ||
Tej Gill and the team have done an incredible job. | ||
We're honored to be their partner. | ||
Also, the mild roasts are excellent. | ||
If you like mild roasts, excellent. | ||
They have all kinds of special flavors and concoctions for the holidays. | ||
Go check it out. | ||
But Warpath.coffee, Mariner's Blend. | ||
Got my skull and crossbones right there. | ||
Warpath.coffee, go check it out today. | ||
Back in a moment, we're gonna pivot. | ||
unidentified
|
We got Liz Ure up next. | |
Why do Republicans hate America so much? | ||
I'm an evangelical. | ||
I believe whether people think it's crazy or not. | ||
unidentified
|
I believe, you know, what the Gospels say. | |
I believe what the Sermon on the Mount says. | ||
I believe in Jesus. | ||
We're all sinners, we're all fallen, right? | ||
But I'm very optimistic about America's future. | ||
Because I see the good in people. | ||
I see the good in this country. | ||
It's interesting. | ||
He's like trying to dig statistics about, I don't know, drag queen shows or something? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
What I see is that Not so long ago, teenage pregnancy at an all-time low in America. | ||
That's something that we always heard about, you know, the Southern Baptist Church growing up. | ||
unidentified
|
Child poverty over the past year at like a 50-60 year low. | |
Our economy doing well, a lot of things going in the right direction. | ||
But I've got to say, if he's worried about pews emptying out, talk to young people. | ||
And so many will tell you, and Russell Moore's talked about this with Christianity Today, they're emptying out because they don't want to go to a church where preachers worship Donald Trump instead of Jesus Christ. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, so he represents the fullness of the emergence of the Christian nationalism that sees America through a very different gospel. | |
Then the one that the man they profess to follow Jesus preached. | ||
In fact, as reported a few about a month or so ago, where you have now evangelicals thinking that, well, we can't follow the teachings of Jesus because they're too woke. | ||
Right. | ||
unidentified
|
Jesus becomes woke for guys like him. | |
And weak. | ||
Woke and weak. | ||
And Don Jr. | ||
and other people around Trump said, oh, the whole thing about turning the other cheek, that's too weak. | ||
unidentified
|
That's too weak. | |
That doesn't work anymore. | ||
unidentified
|
So can they ban the Bible in some districts in Texas? | |
Yes, when you start banning the Bible and things like that, when you start reimagining the teachings of Christ in your image, or in the image of Donald Trump, you have a problem. | ||
The problem with the speaker, from where I'm sitting, it hearkens me back to the concerns that people had about Catholics in this country for a long, long time. | ||
Getting them close to power, and their papist tendencies would be the thing that animates the government. | ||
What's this? | ||
What is this? | ||
I would say to the speaker, could you, before you open your mouth the next time, could you go and read what the founder said about religion, number one, in this country, as they were forming it. | ||
But number two, go read their stories and understand what kind of men they were. | ||
They weren't the kind of Christians that you think they were, that you make them out to be. | ||
Many of them, they were deists. | ||
Some were atheists. | ||
And yet they created this thing that you're now trying to reimagine in a way that even they tried very hard to avoid. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
And so I think, to your point about the pews and the churches, the fact is no one, whether you are 30 years old or 90 years old, want to hear that from a political leader. | |
The traditional Catholics and the evangelicals are the problem, Liz Yor. | ||
The Economist magazine puts it on the cover that you're the greatest threat to world peace and prosperity through your support for Donald Trump in the world. | ||
Traditional Catholics and evangelicals are the greatest threat to world peace and prosperity. | ||
You just had a meeting with the most brutal dictator in the world. | ||
National Review did this whole article about how the non-traditional Catholics, led by the Pope, Right, by the great Nina Shea, who's done more about covering how Christians are persecuted throughout the world. | ||
Walk us through all of this. | ||
Now, the targeting of traditional Catholics and evangelicals as the rise of Christian nationalism and the sellout at the same time to a murderous, atheistic regime in Beijing. | ||
Ma'am. | ||
Yes, Steve. | ||
They're very threatened by the traditional conservative Catholics who are calling out the Terrible, terrible deal that Francis negotiated at the hands of his serial global predator, Ted McCarrick. | ||
Nina points out in this incredible article, Pope Xi, that this disastrous deal has absolutely destroyed the faithful Catholic Church in China. | ||
Faithful Underground Church has gone further underground because of the deal with Gilles and Francis, the secret deal, which we still don't know. | ||
Bishops have been arrested. | ||
Priests have been arrested and tortured. | ||
Priests have been thrown out by the CCP and sent home to their farms, no longer to practice their vocation. | ||
It is an utter and complete disaster. | ||
I put it at the feet of Francis. | ||
He will not answer questions. | ||
He will not destroy this deal. | ||
He continues to negotiate quote-unquote dialogue with the lying, disastrous CCP. | ||
And Nina has just pointed out that since September of 2018, there has been a destruction, not only of the Catholic Church in China, But the Christian evangelical churches have been destroyed. | ||
What Americans have to know is the crucifix in churches have been replaced by the picture of Xi Jinping. | ||
This is the new church in China with Chinese characteristics, with socialist characteristics. | ||
And if Catholic priests and bishops do not swear an oath to the CCP, then they are removed and unable to practice a faith. | ||
Furthermore, this has been an ongoing disastrous result that the Vatican is well aware of. | ||
Not only places like Amnesty International have decried this deal, but every international religious freedom organization has said, because Francis has signed This is what my cry to American Catholics and global Catholics. | ||
religion has been destroyed in China. It's only going to get worse. And see, this is what my cry to American Catholics and global Catholics, what Francis has done, under the guise of dialoguing with the CCP, he is doing with the rest of the world to destroy the tenets of the Catholic faith, the practice of the Catholic faith. And now, in America, America's | ||
bishop, America's most Catholic bishop, is sacked by the tyrant in the Vatican. | ||
So we have America's bishop, Bishop Strickland, who has uphold the faith, Uphold the teaching of the gospel, you know, the gospel that, you know, they all claim at MSNBC that, you know, they, you know, protect and love. | ||
Because he has upheld the gospel, he is tossed out by Francis with virtually no reason whatsoever, no process, no canon law procedure, totally illegal, just tossed out. | ||
And this is what is going to be the pattern from the tyrant in the Vatican. | ||
And it sends a strong message, doesn't it? | ||
To all the bishops of the world, you cross the tyrant in the Vatican, and you're going to be tossed out. | ||
And of all the 400 bishops in America, Strickland is the only one who is speaking out. | ||
He was the only one. | ||
I know the War Room remembers he was the only bishop of 400 American bishops who went to the L.A. | ||
Dodgers Stadium To defend the honor of the consecrated nuns who built this country and educated generations of children. | ||
Because the tranny sisters of perpetual indulgence were mocking them. | ||
And Strickland, like the humble, devoted man of God that he is, stood up and protested this vile abomination. | ||
As a result, he caught the attention of Francis, because Francis is now embracing the LGBTQI ideology, imposing it on the church, because he wants to create a new world order church, the One World Religion, which will be called the Synodal Church, which will be a church without the Bible, without Jesus Christ, | ||
And this is how he describes the synodal church, a listening church, a dialoguing church, a journeying together church. | ||
And just yesterday, the Pope met with some Buddhist monks. | ||
And what did the Catholic Pope say? | ||
The Catholic Pope said that Jesus and Buddha are both great healers. | ||
So this is what Strickland is fighting against not only the radical LGBT ideology that is now being forced on the Catholic Church by the Vatican and by Pope Francis, and is going to be embedded in the new theology of Francis. | ||
And so we've seen this. | ||
We've seen how he embraces people like Father James Martin, Whoopi Goldberg, and allows them to promote the radical ideology that has always been in church theology as a disorder, as a sin. | ||
And although we treat the sinner with love and compassion, we speak the truth to them. | ||
And so for speaking the truth, for being Catholic, Bishop Strickland is sacked. | ||
Now, Think about that. | ||
That's a, you know, sad state of affairs that some would say that's a sign of apocalyptic times. | ||
And more troubling, even more troubling than that, is that of all these bishops in America, nobody has spoken out to defend him. | ||
Not one bishop. | ||
We've had a cardinal from Germany. | ||
Of course, Archbishop Vigano has supported Strickland and said that this is an outrage. | ||
Bishop Schneider. | ||
And an Archbishop in Argentina, Archbishop Aguiar. | ||
That's it! | ||
Outside of America. | ||
And so, you know, the traditional Catholics, those conservative Catholics that are battling to keep sacred our magisterium, our tradition, are not only battling the forces in the church, Pope Francis, But they're also battling the FBI. | ||
And, you know, I think it's kind of curious, isn't it, Steve, that at the same time Pope Francis is suppressing and destroying the practice of the traditional mass in America, we have the FBI going after traditional Catholics as if, I mean, this is so absurd to even utter these words, as if they're domestic terrorists. | ||
And so that's the state of affairs. | ||
And that is You know, the battle that is at hand. | ||
And it is a spiritual battle. | ||
It's a spiritual battle both in China and both here in the United States and around the world. | ||
And so we need to arm with, you know, our good Bishop, America's Bishop, Joseph Strickland. | ||
You know, this guy is... I was with him for two days in Rome. | ||
He is a holy, devout, Man of, you know, no guile whatsoever. | ||
Absolutely devoted to the church. | ||
And he's not a firebrand, but I will tell you, he is a man of fiery steel when it comes to his faith. | ||
And he will, he stood up to the vaccines when no bishop would stand up to the vaccines. | ||
He stood up to the Latin Mass, even though he doesn't really embrace the Latin Mass. | ||
He said, it has brought many people great faith, and they love it. | ||
I'm not going to suppress it in my diocese. | ||
And by the way, because of Bishop Strickland, Catholics were flocking to Tyler, Texas, to be in his diocese. | ||
This man with a tiny diocese, this bishop with a tiny diocese, He has 20 seminarians, and his diocese is fiscally sound, when most of the diocese around the United States are filing bankruptcy. | ||
And for this reason? | ||
This is why he gets deposed by Francis? | ||
Well, there's no... Francis won't give a reason, because he can't give a reason. | ||
He can't lay out the reasons why Strickland was tossed out, because he has a holy Healthy, thriving diocese, one of the few in the United States. | ||
And this is the man that Francis chooses to depose. | ||
It tells you more about Francis than anything else. | ||
And so the battle's on. | ||
There is a firestorm on Twitter and among Catholics, not only traditional Catholics, but Catholics around the country. | ||
They are outraged. | ||
That this good and holy man is being treated and tossed off like dirt by Francis. | ||
But you know, Steve, when you sometimes get canceled, it's a bit of freeing. | ||
And I think Bishop Strickland now is free to speak his mind even furthermore. | ||
And you know, frankly, the church in America needs a voice, needs a general. | ||
And he's now, I think, I think whether he likes it or not, our general. | ||
A program that we're going to try, attempt to get Bishop Strickland on tomorrow on the Saturday show to go through some of these issues. I had a lot of questions asked you about the suppression. | ||
There were 100 million evangelical and traditional Catholics in China underground. | ||
One of the most urgent, vibrant, robust Christian communities in the world. | ||
And quite frankly, I said the way we're going to get let out of this depravity in the 21st century is the Chinese Christians. | ||
That's under assault. | ||
And the fake Pope Francis is a big part of the collaboration with the Chinese Communist Party to destroy it. | ||
But I don't have time. | ||
I'll do that some other time. | ||
I've got to go back to your concept of the synodal church. | ||
This comes after this weird synodality. | ||
I only got a couple minutes. | ||
Give me two minutes to back up your thing that he's actually trying to take the Catholic Church, the traditional Catholic Church, and turn it into a synodal church. | ||
That really throws out the precepts of the New Testament. | ||
Walk me through that. | ||
Sure. | ||
Synodal is a made up name from Francis. | ||
The synod that just finished, there's going to be a follow up synod in a year that was made up not of bishops, which not strictly of bishops, which is the creation of a synod. | ||
It's always been just bishops. | ||
But he stacked the deck, Steve. | ||
Francis had Radical women, radical nuns, radical LGBT activists, both lay and clerical, there at the Synodal Church. | ||
And the documents, the documents for this Synod barely mention Jesus, barely mention the Catholic Church, do not mention sin, do not mention hell, do not mention the Blessed Mother. | ||
All the tenants of the church All we talk about now in the Synod Church of Francis is the agenda of the modernists, the agenda of the global elites, climate change, LBGT, radical ideology, migration. | ||
These are the tenets of the New Synodal Church. | ||
In following, as I have for the last 10 years, Francis continues to erase the name and the word Catholic. | ||
from his documents, from his speeches. | ||
And he has been, of course, known with the Abu Dhabi Declaration, saying that God wills all religions. | ||
All religions in the One World Church are on one plane together. | ||
And so what Francis was brought on to do is to destroy the Catholic Church, which has always been that bulwark against communism, Neolism, Socialism, and the Synodal Church. | ||
And I wouldn't be surprised if the new One World Church is called the Synodal Church. | ||
So that's what's undergoing in Rome as we speak. | ||
The documents are coming out fast and furiously because Pope Benedict has now died. | ||
So you're going to see more and more changes of documents by Francis and his radical modernists that are embedded in the Vatican. | ||
So stay tuned, there's a battle afoot. | ||
You're helping us try to get Bishop Strickland, I'm going to have you back on early in the week to go through this. | ||
