Speaker Time Text
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
Here's another time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
dave brat
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
unidentified
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
dave brat
Back in the War Room with the great Stephen K. Bannon.
It's our honor to welcome to the show Father Frank Pavone.
Father Frank, he's a casual friend for years now.
I see him all over the place.
We were just at Liberty Council meetings with Matt Staver, his group, Liberty Council.
Go check them out. But a fantastic set of meetings on the pro-life, First Amendment freedoms we all sometimes take for granted.
Freedom of speech, freedom of religion.
And so today I wanted to get the Father on.
And by the way, Father, we open the show in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit out of respect for Stephen K. Bannon.
That's right. And so, love to have you on.
And first off, I just want to get to the guts of things.
I've been having a few of our evangelical friends on, Bill Federer and Ralph Reed was on yesterday, and David Barton, some superheroes.
And then on the Catholic side, I just want you to...
Let our viewers know how important.
Eighty percent of Americans still affiliate themselves, identify themselves as Christian.
So that's some uplifting news.
The bad news is a lot of the evangelicals and Catholics are not registered to vote.
But I get the sense things are changing.
There is a sense of urgency.
And how would you stress that sense of urgency to our Catholic brothers and sisters out there who need to defend the republic as well?
father frank pavone
Yeah, well, Dave, thanks for having me.
You know, the men you just mentioned are all friends and colleagues of mine, and the reasons they give for Christians to be out there in the voting booth are exactly the same spiritual, doctrinal, biblical, theological reasons that Catholics believe in.
Catholics cannot consider themselves exempt From the spiritual duty to change the world, Jesus told us, teach the nations to carry out everything that I have commanded you.
It's not just about the salvation of souls.
It's about the salvation of bodies, of nations, of institutions, of relationships, of salvation of politics, the transformation of politics.
What I would say to Catholics is, look, if we believe in the church, first of all, if we want the church to survive, We better get out there and vote those Democrats out of power because this may seem extreme to some people.
But when you look at what the Democrats do, Dave, I had to go to the Supreme Court.
My ministry, Priests for Life, was at the Supreme Court together with, you know, we hear about all the time, the Little Sisters of the Poor and the Biden administration when it tried to force them to fund contraceptives.
They were doing the same thing to the priests.
We were in that case too.
And so the fact of the matter is, look, it doesn't matter how exaggerated this sounds, these radical, left-wing, godless, anti-life Democrats want to destroy the freedom of the church.
So I say to Catholics, if you want to be able to walk into your church on Sunday morning, Or for those clergy who say, oh, well, it's not about politics.
It's just about preaching the gospel.
I say to them, if you want the freedom to get up into that pulpit to preach the gospel, then get yourself into the voting booth and get your congregation there, too, and get these godless Marxist Democrats out of power once and for all.
It's the teaching of common sense.
And then it's the teaching of the Catholic faith.
If you look at the Catechism, if you look at the Second Vatican Council, if you look at the encyclicals of St.
John Paul II, even Pope Francis, they're always saying to us, get involved in politics.
That's not because the church is a political party.
It's not. It's because the church bears witness to the kingdom of God and political parties and nations are responsible for it.
Dave, that's it in a nutshell, and that's no less applicable to Catholics than to any other Christians across the board.
dave brat
Yeah, Father, I think that is about as well put as I've ever heard.
It's phenomenal.
And, you know, our other friends that come on the show, I think it's also important in the Bible, right?
Romans 13, a lot of people use that as a text to be passive, right?
Obey your rulers, you know, just obey the president.
And in this country, in our Constitution, we the people are the sovereign.
The only mistake the founders might have made is not putting God in there as the sovereign in some sort of status.
So they put us as the full sovereign and set up the government.
And so what is our duty as the sovereign?
We the people, right?
We're over the president.
I was in Congress.
We the people are over the Congress.
And so how does the Catholic Church put that into play?
father frank pavone
Well, we make a distinction.
We're not here to establish a theocracy.
We don't want the law to imprison or fine people because they don't believe in the Holy Trinity.
But what we do say is, like Jesus said, there's a hierarchy.
You give to Caesar what is Caesar's.
You pay taxes as long as the money isn't being abused.
You obey just laws.
You part in elections.
But then give to God what is God's.
And so the point of the matter is that That every nation is obliged to respect the basic moral law.
You're not instituting a denomination by law, but you are protecting basic human rights, starting with life.
It's all based on life, the protection of people's private property, the protection against theft and stealing and fraud and deception.
All of these are fundamental aspects of the law of God.
And so what we're responsible to do as sovereigns Is to make sure, like we see all throughout the Bible, that the nation is observing the laws of God.
Otherwise, the nation gets destroyed.
Why did the Babylonians come in and end up burning the temple and taking the people into exile?
The prophet Jeremiah was considered a traitor because he said, hey folks, don't fight the Babylonians.
They are actually an instrument of God punishing you because you broke the covenant.
So it wasn't because of political or military miscalculations.
It was because they were unfaithful to the covenant.
We in America have a covenant with God, too.
I mean, we're believers. We believe in the covenant in the blood of Jesus Christ.
But our founders acknowledged the God of the universe and his laws and his providence and his protection.
We've got an obligation.
Otherwise, there's no guarantee that the nation survives.
dave brat
Yeah, I think that's spot on.
It's amazing how much we all share in common.
We quibble over the finer points, but I think I can probably go out on a limb and assume that Father Frank Pavone believes in about every word of the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed.
All the basics are spelled out there.
And then in the Bible, God's laid out there are two kingdoms.
There's the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light, the kingdom of goodness and the kingdom of evil.
And then there's three spheres.
He just spelled it out. At the highest level, there's the nation state, and then there's the church, and then there's the family.
And we don't want the nation state running the church, and we don't want the church running the nation state.
And so there's just broad agreement, and the geniuses back at the founding laid this all out very carefully.
It served us very well.
And so, Father, how do you call people to action along these lines?
The sense of urgency, what should they be doing?
What should Catholics and all Christians be doing?
father frank pavone
Well, right now, it's get-out-the-vote time, as you well know.
Early voting has begun.
We want to urge people to get out and vote early.
Now, in my ministry, we've got a political outreach, Dave, called Pro-Life Vote.
So ProLifeVote.com.
People can go. We do online trainings.
We even still have trainings in these remaining weeks before the end of voting on November 5th.
We have material for pastors if people want to know how can their pastor preach a sermon
regarding the elections that is faithful to the word of God.
Again, ProLifeVote.com.
People need to, don't rely also on the structures.
If your pastor's not doing anything, get some like-minded people together and do it yourself.
Arrange rides for people to the polls.
Make sure the homebound get their ballots, things like that.
We just have to take action.
We have to take it now.
Nobody's coming to save us.
Steve Bannon says this all the time, we've gotta be the agents of change.
And so within the Catholic community, hey, you know what?
Take those teachings we were just talking about and influence each other.
If your pastor wants to cooperate, that's great.
But if not, influence each other and get those people out to the polls and get out early to vote.
dave brat
Yep. Amen.
My good friend and Christian brother, Father Frank Pavone, hitting it out of the park for Stephen K. Bannon.
He's a patriot. I see him all over the place.
He's just an energizer bunny full of energy for the faith and the church.
And so God bless you, Father.
Thanks for being with us on The War Room today.
father frank pavone
God bless you, Dave, and all our viewers.
We'll see you soon. You bet.
dave brat
See you soon. All right, everyone.
Go from the Catholic realm to the CEO realm.
One of my favorite CEOs, and I'm not making this up, over years, maybe decades, is coming up with us, Andy Puzder, CEO of CKE Businesses, otherwise known as Hardee's and Carl Jr.'s.
Over 4,000 many businesses there.
He ran across the country.
And since, he's been working on books related to capitalism and freedom and particularly the job market, getting people to work.
And so just a pleasure to bring Andy Puzder.
Thanks for being with us on the show.
And I always say, you know, all political views are just my own here.
But I think let's open up.
I want to hear your views on the economic plans of the two parties.
How do you see it?
How do you call balls and strikes there?
unidentified
Andy Puzder. That's a great question, Dave.
Thanks. That's a good way to start.
Vice President Harris has been promising what she calls an opportunity economy, but the only way the American people ever end up with opportunity is if there's economic growth.
And we know President Trump, from his first term in office, advocated for economic growth and produced it by reducing taxes, which encourages investment and consumer spending, by cutting business-killing regulations, which again encourages investment, And by encouraging domestic oil production, which really gets the price of everything down.
We get energy costs down.
We lower the cost not only of heating and cooling our homes and putting gas in our car, but everything has to be delivered.
And those delivery costs go down.
The price of your goods go down.
And that produced an economy.
We hit historic lows in unemployment for every race in both sexes.
Family income hit an all-time high.
Real wages increased.
Poverty declined to historic lows.
And we found that income inequality decreased all while we had no inflation.
So this is a very good, a very workable plan.
The problem on the Harris side is she's got to come up with a plan that produces economic opportunity.
But on the heels of this incredible inflation that was generated by By this massive government spending under the two bills where she was the tie-breaking vote, the so-called American Recovery Act, which is a ridiculous name, and the almost comically named Inflation Reduction Act, and both of those were Harris' bills.
So she needs to get away from that.
And she's come up with—her policy suggestions are, I'm going to tax unrealized capital gains, which even Ro Khanna, the liberal congressman from Silicon Valley, has come out and said, well, we don't want to do that.
And he's a surrogate of hers.
Mark Cuban came out and said, well, I've talked to people at the campaign, and we're not going to do that.
So that's really—his defense of this plan is that they're not going to do it.
But she wants to give people $25,000 for a down payment on their house, which will just increase housing costs.
It's not really an economic plan.
It's a political plan to try and assuage people who can't afford homes because of her policies, that somehow they're going to give them a little money to fix that.
And then she's got this price fixing, which even the very liberal, far-left, anti-Trump Washington Post came out and said, Look, if people are accusing you of being a communist, maybe you don't want to suggest price fixing.
And she came out with price fixing to address price gouging, which data from her own Department of Labor shows never occurred.
So she does not have a plan to generate economic growth, which means there'll be no economic opportunity.
President Trump does have such a plan, and it was very successful in his first term.
dave brat
Yeah, very well said, Andy.
I'm going to hold you over the break.
We've got about 40 seconds to go.
But I think we'll pivot over into a talk you gave at Liberty University recently.
It was profound.
Everyone loved it. The students loved it.
The CEOs in attendance loved it as well, focusing on BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, the
folks who run the pensions.
And they don't run the companies, but they put pressure on the CEOs who run the companies,
and they vote the shares.
And most Americans are not even aware of the scope and scale.
It's in the tens of trillions of dollars.
And so back with Andy Puzder after a short break.
Stay tuned with us in the War Room.
You're never going to hear a more well-spoken business CEO. Back in the war room with the great Stephen K. Bannon, our honor to have one of the nation's great CEOs in-house today, Andy Puzder, just gave us some good guidance on economic growth.
For folks who don't know, the whole world made approximately $1,000 per person for all
of human history until about 1776 when the free market system emerged.
There's always been markets throughout history, but the free market system came out of, largely
speaking, the Judeo-Christian tradition along with a little help from the Enlightenment.
And that has brought us up from $1,000 per capita income in the U.S. to about $60,000
or $70,000 per capita.
So we're the envy of the world, but our engine is fading right now.
Economic growth is not what it used to be.
The CBO is projecting our productivity falls for the next 30 years.
We cannot have that.
Why is that happening?
Andy Puzder has been working on that for decades.
And so, Andy, I think you see some threats to the free market system in-house on this side of the pond within our own country.
So why don't you lay out that threat?
unidentified
Thank you, Andy. Well, sure.
As you know, we have a republic and we have a free market capitalist economy, and those are both controlled by consumers, by the people.
You vote politically and you make purchases.
You vote with every dollar you spend as a consumer as to the direction of the economy.
There's a group of large asset management firms, BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard are the principals.
They're the three largest. And they now have voting control.
They don't actually own the shares.
They invest other people's money.
But they have voting control.
They vote the shares where they have the largest shareholders in about 97% of the companies, for example, in the S&P 500.
which is the largest companies, are the largest companies in the United States.
So they vote those shares and they've been voting them to advance radical environmentalist policies.
They've been using them to advance things like diversity, equity and inclusion,
which Kamala Harris is very much in favor of as she was a diversity, DEI hire, as Joe Biden has admitted.
But rather than merit-based hiring, they want to have race and sex-based hiring,
rather than a political system where we determine what kind of actions we want to take
with respect to the environment.
They want to impose on us their views of what they think is best for us
by voting the shares of the companies in which they've invested to take actions
which implicate the entire economy.
they affect the entire economy, they affect all of us And they don't have to go through messy things like elections.
They just decide on their own how they're going to vote these shares, and they're really accountable to nobody.
So it's a threat to our republic, and it's a threat to our free market economy, and it's something that we seriously need to address.
dave brat
Yeah, so that's high-level thinking.
Some of the folks just want to know what's the bottom line.
Give a couple examples.
So when they're voting the shares, how do they put pressure on CEOs?
Why do some CEOs feel intimidated?
And what's at stake at the micro level in a way the average person who works for a firm can understand what's going on?
unidentified
Well, whenever you run a company, particularly a publicly traded company, you're very concerned about what your largest shareholder wants because your largest shareholder elects directors to your board of directors, and those directors can support you or they can fire you.
So you're very interested in meeting the needs of your largest shareholders.
We've got a company out there, America's largest energy company, it's called Exxon.
Back in 2021, they had an election where a very small group, a very small group of shareholders, a small hedge fund, Wanted to put environmentalists on Exxon's board of directors.
Well, everybody thought it was a joke.
Why would you put environmentalists on an oil company's board of directors?
That's certainly not going to help the company be profitable and generate returns for its investors.
But BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard, they were the largest shareholders in Exxon.
They all voted to put those environmentalists on the board and then Exxon ended up with environmentalists on its board of directors.
And it gets worse, by the way.
Not only did they have environmentalists on their board, but within a year, they passed a resolution internally that they would adopt a net zero carbon emissions by 2050 policy.
So what you have is they forced America's largest energy producer, its largest energy company, To adopt a policy that prohibits the use of or would exclude the use of the product that justifies that company's existence.
And it didn't happen because there was legislation passed that required it.
It didn't happen because consumers don't want to use oil products.
Across the world, that's increasing.
And it didn't happen because the people that actually own those shares wanted their company to do something that would hurt the value of that company.
It happened because BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard voted with this small hedge fund and now Exxon.
And by the way, Chevron and Mobile now have these policies too, where they're actually putting in place a policy that denigrates the very product that justifies their existence because they I've had to pursue these radical environmentalist policies.
So it's a very dangerous message to other CEOs when that happens.
You know, if we can get Exxon, if we can go after Exxon, you know we can go after you.
So you better listen to what we have to say.
dave brat
Yeah, and the American people are just starting to catch on here.
I think all political views are my own, but I think Harris made a remark a week or two ago and said, look, I got all the Fortune 100 firms are backing me.
There's a fundamental populist revolution going on in this country, right?
The Republicans now are getting the black, brown, blue-collar voters.
We just went over the new Philly data, the The lower on the income spectrum they are, the more they're moving to the Republican Party.
The percentage of folks, over 52% of our counties have folks getting 25% of their income from the government.
The magnificent seven, with the exception of Elon, all of them are on the left.
And so I think your logic is explaining that movement.
Give us a little hope that the American people are catching on and we're going to start voting with our pocketbooks.
unidentified
Andy. Yeah, we've seen red states.
Republican states have now passed legislation saying that you can't vote shares, you can't invest other people's money or vote shares based on your political views.
It violates your duty to your investors.
So that's been a big positive.
And we have some states, like Texas, that's come out with legislation saying you can't act against oil companies.
If you do that, we're not going to invest money with you.
You're not going to invest money out of the state of Texas.
So there are things that are happening.
There are great organizations out there that are now pursuing this.
Consumer Research, the 1792 Foundation, Unleash Prosperity.
The Heritage Foundation has taken a leadership role in this.
There are a number of organizations out there that are working hard to try and make sure that we can fight back against this.
Really, it's a collectivist socialist movement that's been brought onshore.
It really grows out of the World Economic Forum, which is something that...
That I'm sure you've had a lot of conversations about, where Klaus Schwab and his group have these ski vacations in Davos, Switzerland, and everybody that wants to tell us how to solve the world's environmental problems flies their jets and takes their limos to these meetings, and then buys a house on the coast that they claim is going to disappear.
So you've really got a bunch of hypocrites trying to run the rest of us by using environmental policies to seize control of the economy.
And this is happening not only in the United States, but across the globe.
But in the United States, we are resisting.
And one of the big issues economically across the globe now is the United States resistance to this ESG investing.
So everybody needs to pay attention to this.
This is not a fluke. This is not something that's going away.
It's not something where they're going to give up.
These people want to control your life.
They want to tell you what's best for you, whether you want it or not.
And they're going to do whatever they can to get around our republic and get around our free market economy.
dave brat
Yeah, thanks, Andy.
We've got about a minute and a half to go.
Maybe just in closing, the rest of the show, we just had a former CIA operative on, Sam Faddis, talking about the links.
China, the Oversight Committee in Congress, has $30 million in receipts going to the Biden family.
Harris' father was a Marxist economist.
Wall's 30 trips to China, etc., So it's not too hard to see the linkages.
Our CEOs and the elitist, the globalist collectivists, as you say, I think that is the great term.
They all seem to be trading with China, Russia, Iran, wherever they can make a buck.
And at that geopolitical level, what kind of moves can our country put in place to prevent this kind of abuse?
unidentified
Minute to go, Andy. Well, we are the largest economy in the world.
And if we put in place...
President Trump talks about tariffs.
He talks about not doing business with other countries to punish them if they try and punish the United States or damage our system.
So there are actions we can take if you have a leader with the courage to take those actions.
And there's only one person out there running for president right now realistically who can do this, and it's President Trump.
We need to get him back in place.
We need to get America first.
And we need to make sure we preserve our republic and preserve our free market economy.
dave brat
Yep. Andy Poster.
Hey, Andy, 30 seconds to go.
What's your last book and what's your new book and how do people get you?
unidentified
Well, my last book was called The Capitalist Comeback, The Trump Boom and the Left's Plot to Stop It.
And who knew that it was going to be, you know, it's almost like I was Nostradamus about their plot to stop it as much as I thought it would be.
My new book comes out in January, and it's called A Tyranny for the Good of Its Victims, The Ugly Truth About Stakeholder Capitalism.
And that'll be available on Amazon.
It's from Encounter Books.
And I hope it'll be out soon because it's a message that needs to get out there quickly.
dave brat
Yep. Andy Puzder, thanks for being on The War Room with us today.
Great public servant defending our republic.
Go buy those books, you young people.
Get out and learn.
Stay with us over the break.
With the massive tax hikes proposed by Harris, an almost 40% top income tax rate, 7% increase to the corporate tax, a capital gains tax on unrealized gains, and the fact that she's proposing to add almost $2 trillion to a current $2 trillion deficit.

We just want to give a shout out to some of our friends at the Tax Network.
Cameron Kinsey is with us.

Everyone's scared what to do with their money, how to protect their money.
You guys have unique services.
Let us know, how are you serving the war room, folks?
What makes your product set apart?
Thanks for being on with us, Cameron.
unidentified

dave brat
Very good, Cameron.
It sounds like a lot of people would need your services.
Why don't you give us how do people reach out to you?
What kind of services can people expect?
Can they talk to someone? Can they email questions in?
What kind of guidance?
What's the process look like as folks contact you and your firm?
unidentified

Go support Tax Network.
Get a hold of them.
Government overreach, all-time high.
Every speaker today has said as such.
So go get some good counsel, and they'll bail you out.
Thanks for being with us, Cameron.
unidentified
God bless. Thanks for having me.
dave brat
You bet. You bet.
All right, folks. Honored to have Bill Federer in the house.
We had Father Frank Pavone on the Catholic side of the house, giving us some great wisdom and a sense of urgency for voting.
All political views are always my own.
But Bill's been on the show many times.
Just a well-spoken machine gun full of knowledge just rattles it off.
Today's a little different I saw an Atlantic article.
I've been told by some intelligence experts, whenever you see the term Atlantic, look out for the Atlanticists.
And so they called out my good friend Bill Federer the other day.
And so whenever the Atlantic calls out one of the Patriots, they get my attention.
Bill, what was the Atlantic up to in that article?
And give us, go into detail on what you think they're trying to achieve.
william j federer
Right. The left is upset that some Christians are finally waking up.
There's an estimated 80 million Christians in America and only a quarter vote.
And if you can just get some more of those to vote, it could impact a lot of the elections because many of them are determined by relatively small margins.
But they want to do this attack, and it's something called projection, where they blame you for what they're doing.
And I wrote a book on socialism.
It's called Socialism, the Real History from Plato to the Present.
But I go through the Cold War.
After World War II, you had countries in Europe that were forming republics, electing leaders and becoming free.
And the Soviet Union did not like that.
And so they would send in KGB agents to do something called critical theory.
It's simply where you observe all the groups in a country, ethnically, Bosnians, Croats, Serbs, religiously, Sunni, Shia, Orthodox, economically, racially, and you would call some victims and others oppressors, haves and have-nots.
You pit them against each other till they fight.
And then when there's emotions, you co-opt the media to blame the current leader of all the problems for all the problems.
And then when they drop in popularity, you do a coup or a rigged election.
There's 50 years of these tactics being perfected.
And I talked just this past weekend with a former Army PSYOPs military intelligence person, and he said when they would go into a country, the first thing they would do is to eliminate opposition, particularly religiously.
And so he talked about going into the Middle East and these different tactics.
And then he saw how under Obama in 2012, he authorized using these psychological behavior techniques upon the American population.
That's right. Obama signed using these behavioral sciences on the American population.
And then in 2016, Obama signed the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act, which gave the government the authority to censor media and the social platforms and so forth.
So they want to blame their opposition.
It's an interesting, a military review magazine, the official publication of the US Army, December 1960, had an interesting page in there describing Soviet propaganda.
He says, if you do something wrong, accuse your enemy of doing it before he accuses you.
The one who makes the accusation first has the advantage.
And it explains it's the same as little kids saying, I didn't start the fight, you did.
You hit me first. And so we have to understand whenever it's October, this is October surprise time.
This is the month where they want to attack their political opponents to try to demotivate them.
And so it's quite interesting how they are.
And it's actually in the Bible.
Potiphar's wife accused Joseph of lusting after her when she was lusting after him.
And so they want to call Christians intolerant when they're actually the ones who are intolerant.
They want to call their oppositions hateful when they're actually hateful.
They want to accuse their opponents of stealing the election when evidence shows that they're the ones that are working on that.
And so if we look at When Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, she approved Uranium One, a 50 U.S. uranium, to Russia in exchange for suspiciously lots of an estimated $145 million contributions from Russian-connected sources appeared in her Clinton Foundation.
And so what does she do?
She pays for his Steele dossier to accuse Trump of exactly what she's guilty of.
And then you have Biden on C-SPAN admitting to extortion of Ukraine.
Stop investigating my son or I'll hold back billions of dollars.
What do they do? They accuse Trump of extorting Ukraine.
Biden had classified documents in his garage.
What do they do? They want to stage a visible raid on Trump.
Why? Just for the headlines. They want to accuse him.
David Axelrod was a campaign advisor to a previous president.
And in 2010, April 19th on NPR, he said in Chicago, there was an old tradition of throwing a brick through your own campaign office window and then calling a press conference to say you've been attacked.
So they want to attack us, but they want to be able to push their agenda.
It's obvious when you study these socialist tactics that they're just, since Obama approved it, they're using these tactics against their opposition in America.
dave brat
Right, right. So color revolutions, first abroad, now domestic.
Mike Benz has been covering some of that.
And so how do you rate Bill?
Why are they picking on a theologian and American patriot?
william j federer
Right, so I went through the 1600s and now you literally had churches founding cities.
So the first Baptist church in America founded a city, Providence, Rhode Island.
And the first Congregationalist church in America founded a city, Hartford, Connecticut.
So everybody's involved in church, and everybody's involved in city government, right?
Because it's the church founding the city.
So they actually had one building in each town called the Meeting House.
That's where the pastor would teach the Bible, and that's where they would do their city business.
The word synagogue means meeting house.
That's where the rabbi would teach the law, and that's where they would do their city business.
And so this is called a covenant form of government that eventually grew into our constitution.
And so this is pre-the scientific revolution, pre-Age of Enlightenment.
These are pastors and churches founding cities right here in America.
But in the 1700s, you had a revival movement.
And they said, being a Christian is more than doctrine.
You have to have an experience with Jesus.
But when you have this experience, you're going to withdraw from worldly things like bars and brothels and government.
And this concept started in Germany, and it turned into the two-kingdom concept of the kingdom of the government, the kingdom of the church, the two don't touch.
And if you're really spiritual, you're going to withdraw from government.
Well, that brings up an interesting situation because if all the spiritual people withdraw, who's left to be involved but the less spiritual, they're going to yield to their ambitions.
Four centuries of that teaching in Germany allowed Hitler to seize power.
They put Jews on train cars and the church heard them screaming and their response was, well, that's the government killing of Jews and we're holy.
We can't get involved. So let's just sing praise songs louder.
It's like, can anybody see there's something wrong with that?
And so in my book, Silence Equals Consent, I've been talking about if the church doesn't address these things, it's actually giving its consent to all the evil.
And if you give consent, you're an accessory to the crime and you'll share in the judgment.
And, you know, there's one quote from Charlie Hurt.
He was on Fox Hannity, May 23rd, 2019.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he said this whole thing is like this game of projection.
Whenever they accuse President Trump of doing something, we then find out not only did President Trump not do it, but they did it, right?
So they want to say, you're pushing your religion.
Well, you look at the definition of the word religion, and one of them is a belief system.
And so they're upset at people pushing a belief system that champions individual liberty, and they're pushing their belief system.
So in a sense, they're the ones that are pushing their religion.
dave brat
Yeah, no, I think that's absolutely right.
And after COVID, the American people, the mental health statistics right now are just overwhelmingly negative.
There's a rash of narcissism seemingly taken over the country.
It's linked to gaslighting.
All of it's due to lack of moral foundations, specifically religious foundations.
And so, Bill, we're going to have you back after the break.
Folks can learn how to reach you and then maybe just give a concluding remark about the sense of urgency.
How do we fix this?
And how do we get people to the polls?
As that is what is needed to fix this rash.
Thanks for being in the war room.
America is standing on the brink of an election meltdown.
And Jim Rickards, editor of Strategic Intelligence, the man who predicted the 2008 financial crisis, Trump's victory in 2016, and the COVID disaster is sounding the alarm.
Rickards has just dropped a bombshell that could change everything you think you know about the 2024 election.
He's uncovered what he calls the Democrats' secret plan to keep Trump out of the White
House, even if he wins.
This isn't some far-off theory.
He's warning that this meltdown could lead to a 50% market crash, the total collapse
of the U.S. dollar, and violent riots in our streets.
The stakes are higher than ever, folks, and if you're not prepared, you could lose everything.
But Jim Rickards isn't just predicting disaster.
He's laying out five critical steps you need to take now to protect yourself, your family,
and your financial future.
This isn't fear-mongering.
It's coming straight from a man who's been at the highest levels of intelligence, finance, and national security.
Go to Meltdown24.com right now to watch his urgent presentation.
Don't wait until it's too late.
unidentified
Meltdown24. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
dave brat
Back in the war room with the great Stephen K. Bannon, Bill Federer in the house, the Atlantic coming after the evangelicals, the religious.
That's a common tactic of the collectivists and the socialists.
So no one better to summarize that account than Bill Federer.
Bill, what's the sense of urgency for Christians?
What should motivate Christians as they think about the direction of this republic and then how do people reach you?
william j federer
Yeah, because if we don't turn around, we'll be their target.
You know, in 1934, Stalin was facing a growing anti-Stalinist movement.
At the same time, he had a supporter, Sergei Kirov, who was praising him.
He was a party boss of Leningrad.
So Stalin had an idea. He would murder his supporter, Sergei Kirov, and eliminate a potential rival and blame the assassination on his opponents, the anti-Stalinists.
He decided he was going to have investigations and hearings, and he rounded up and killed over a million people.
First Great Purge in 1936-38.
I write about it in the book called Socialism, The Real History from Plato to the Present.
Another book, Silence equals Consent, The Sin of Omission.
AmericanMinute.com is my website.
And it's urgent that we get all the Christians to not give your silent consent to the evil.
Get out there and stand up for righteousness.
dave brat
Absolutely. War Room, go buy those books.
Your silence is consent.
It is a sin. God wants better than that.
He wants the kingdom of God on this earth.
Let's make it happen. Bill, thanks for being with us on The War Room.
God bless you. Alright folks, my honor to bring in Mo Maureen Bannon.
First of all, Mo, everybody wants to know how's Steve doing?
Give us the latest update there because all our prayers and concerns are always with him, of course.
maureen bannon
He's doing great and I'm almost positive he's ready to get out just like we all are ready for him to be out.
You know, less than a month until he's out.
So I know we're all looking forward to him being back behind the mic.
You've done a great job as guest host.
I know he's ready to be back behind the mic.
dave brat
We can't wait to have them.
All right, Mo, we know why you're on.
Give us what's the intensity we should be feeling.
What are the apps that are available to share with people nationwide, especially Pennsylvania, Georgia, etc.
All political views of my own, but tee us up, Mo.
maureen bannon
So there are 33 days left until the election.
We need to focus.
The posse needs to focus on getting out the vote efforts.
That's what my dad wants us to do.
We need to turn out and focus on the ground game, especially in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia.
Michigan and Wisconsin, battleground states.
You can go to the Google App Store and the Apple App Store and get Early Vote Action, their app, TP Action app.
And if you're specifically in Nevada, you can get the Nevada GOP app.
And we want you to focus on texting.
Calling, sending postcards, getting people registered to vote and getting out to vote.
Just because you register doesn't mean that you're done.
You need to have a plan to get out and vote and get as many people out to the polls as possible so we can have a sweeping victory on November 5th and get President Trump back in office.
dave brat
All right. Maureen Bannon served our country in uniform, serving our republic.
Now, in closing, Mo, any words you think Steve would want to give a shout-out to the War Room?
What words of encouragement would he give us today?
maureen bannon
He wants everyone, like I said, to focus on getting out the vote.
We need to get as many people registered to vote as possible.
And that should be our main focus.
I know I also came on really quickly to mention I will be a special guest at an event on Sunday in Minnesota.
So if you can hear this and you are in the state of Minnesota, please go to Eventbrite and we will post the link.
To sign up.
It is not a free event.
It is a campaign event for the United States Senate candidate from the great state of Minnesota, Royce White.
It is a campaign event for him, so it is a ticketed event, but you can go to Eventbrite and get your tickets now, and it'll be a great evening.
dave brat
All right, Mo. Thanks much.
I went to high school in Minnesota.
Minnesotans listening, spread the word.
Force multiplier, Royce White, you're never going to get a better challenger and a better American.
Go support him as much as you can, any way you can.
He's closing, and we need to send a signal.
Thanks, Mo. Thanks for being with us, and thanks for the kind words.
maureen bannon
Thank you, Dave. You bet.
