Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. | |

| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||

| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Good evening. | ||
| Hanwell here at the helm on Steve Bannon's War Room. | ||
| Packed, packed show for you guys. | ||

|
Today, coming up, we'll be discussing the Louisiana defrocked priest who has just been arrested for raping a 10-year-old boy, disabled boy, in a wheelchair with autism. | |
| We will be discussing President Trump's invocation of St. Michael the Archangel, what that might mean. | ||
| We'll also be discussing a senior appointment in the Vatican for the Pontifical Academy of Fine Arts, where Pope Leo has appointed a strong LGBTQ advocate. | ||
| But that's not only where he's undermining a Catholic doctrine is taking place right now. | ||
| Liz, you're, you have the latest on this astonishing interview that Pope Leo gave to EW10 and EW10 correspondent. | ||
| It was a spontaneous thing. | ||
| Before we break it down, why don't we have a quick look at exactly what Pope Leo said in his own words? | ||
|
unidentified
|
With Cardinal Supich giving an award to Senator Durbin, some people of faith are having a hard time with understanding this because he is pro, or rather, he's for legalized abortion. | |
| How would you help people of faith right now decipher that, feel about that, and how do you feel about that? | ||
| I'm not terribly familiar with the particular case. | ||
| I think that it's very important to look at the overall work that a senator has done during, if I'm not mistaken, 40 years of service in the United States Senate. | ||
| I understand the difficulty and the tensions, but I think as I myself have spoken in the past, it's important to look at many issues that are related to what is the teaching of the church. | ||
| Someone who says I'm against abortion but says I'm in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. | ||
| So someone who says that I'm against abortion, but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life. | ||
| So they're very complex issues. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know if anyone has all the truth on them. | |
| I'm going to come to Frank in just a moment for his response, but let's start with you, Liz. | ||
| This is absolutely astonishing on so many different levels. | ||
| Here you have a man recognized as Pope. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let me put it like that. | |
| A man recognized as Pope, the successor to St. Peter, the earthly guide of the Catholic Church, making this claim that, and there are so many things. | ||
| You could basically have the whole show digesting what he just said word for word, but basically saying, or literally saying that if you are anti-abortion, but pro-death penalty, you're not pro-life. | ||
| And if you are anti-abortion and anti-invasion, you're not pro-life. | ||
| There's a huge mix-up between what the Catholic Church teaches as faith and morals and what the Church teaches as a prudential issue. | ||
| For the non-Catholics listening, prudential issues are those issues where Catholics of good faith can disagree. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They agree on the fundamental aims, but they're legitimately allowed diverging opinions on how to get there. | |
| Classically, the immigration policy would be considered prudential. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is to say, it's up to individual Catholics in good faith to decide how and what, if any, that level of immigration should be. | |
| Whether you support the death penalty or not, I think might be prudential. | ||
| Abortion is absolutely not prudential. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But what you cannot say is that the death penalty is against Catholic teaching. | |
| Liz, why don't you sort of take a step back and explain where we might have heard some of these ideas before that Pope Leo exposed there in almost word-for-word perfection. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where have we heard these ideas before? | |
| And what does that mean for the future direction of this papacy? | ||
| Well, first of all, I think this is Leo's who am I to judge moment. | ||
| That's what I think. | ||
| You'll recall when Francis was asked a question about homosexual behavior in the clergy. | ||
| And he said, Who am I to judge? | ||
| I would call the headline of this scandal, Leo exposed, Supic burned, and Durbin canceled. | ||
| You know, Bishop Propaki, who actually was one of the 10 bishops who said that this award brings a scandal to the church, had no idea that this was going to bring scandal to the entire global church when Leo decided to weigh in. | ||
| And he walked right into it. | ||
| And I think the Catholic Church needs to wake up. | ||
| This is a very revealing teaching moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Leo knows darn well what's going on in the American church. | |
| And I thought it was very interesting, wasn't it? | ||
| When he said, I'm not terribly familiar with this case. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then he began to list all of the things that he knew about the case. | |
| He knew that Dick Durbin was a senator for 40 years. | ||
| He knew his position on the death penalty. | ||
| He knew that Durbin was a big advocate of open borders and illegal immigration. | ||
| I would argue, you know, check out Leo's blink rate when he starts responding to this question. | ||
| He dug himself into another Bernardine seamless garment moment. | ||
| And the outrageous moral equivalency of arguing that abortion and euthanasia are equal to the death penalty and illegal immigration is outrageous. | ||
| And calling people who support the death penalty that they're really not pro-life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, look at the overall work of Dick Durbin. | |
| He received 100% favorable rating from Planned Parenthood, supporting laws that would not provide assistance for born-alive babies who were the victims of abortion. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he's calling this a complex issue. | |
| I don't know if anyone has the truth of them, is what he said. | ||
| And we need to find a way forward for the Catholic Church. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look, I mean, this is absolutely outrageous. | |
| And he is saying, he is saying we need to dialogue on this issue. | ||
| Remember, this is a favorite word of Leo's: dialogue. | ||
| And for example, in my opinion, abortion and illegal immigration aren't the same because unborn children in the womb cannot dialogue on their behalf. | ||
| Unborn helpless children in the womb are murdered by suction or scalpel mutilation or poisoning. | ||
| They can't dialogue. | ||
| The illegal immigrants are not only given free lawyers, they're given a paid trip back to their home country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And, you know, unborn children in the womb aren't given a jury of their peers, like people in death penalty cases. | |
| Unborn children can't appeal their sentence. | ||
| They can't protest. | ||
| They don't have public defenders to advocate for them. | ||
| Frankly, it is the un Catholic, it's un Catholic for Leo to even attempt to make these Weasley UN arguments, these Weasley satanic arguments by Joe Bernardine, who not only pushed this agenda, but was a sexual predator. | ||
| You know, we have to start talking truth to power. | ||
| And look, Leo walked right into it. | ||
| He has nobody to blame himself. | ||
| I mean, the timing on this is quite interesting. | ||
| Had he waited a few hours, this award was pulled ultimately because of the firestorm that it created in America. | ||
| Had Leo waited a few more hours, it would have been a mood point. | ||
| But look, Leo is a carbon. | ||
| But he didn't, but he didn't wait. | ||
| He rushed in and he left this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He put a flag down. | |
| I mean, of all the liberal progressive, you know, national Catholic reporter-type platitudes he didn't come out with, it's probably the only one in his response there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Was that, you know, you guys, you pro-life guys, only care about babes before they're born and you don't care about them at the moment. | |
| That's the only thing he didn't say going through his list. | ||
| Frank Walker, let me ask you now this because you spend a lot of time. | ||
| In fact, I think you are the point guy that I would certainly highlight who goes through religiously what all of the Catholic media are up to and their breaks and their analysis on this. | ||
| Tell me one thing, because there had been a couple of people coming out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bishop Strickland, who was removed by Francis. | |
| Let's see whether in Texas, I think it was Texas, wasn't it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's see whether Leo gives him his diocese back. | |
| But you had a couple of people coming out and going quite heavily on Cardinal Supic for this award for Senator Dick Durban. | ||
| And you had a lot of trad Inc in the media doing so as well. | ||
| And then Leo comes out. | ||
| This is the guy we're supposed to be not judging. | ||
| This is the guy who's supposed to be waiting to see how the papacy unfolds. | ||
| Give him time to get his feet under. | ||
| He comes out and gives Cardinal Supic the most vociferous, full-throated endorsement on everything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are the people who've just been criticizing exactly the same declarations against Cardinal Supic going to do now that Pope Leo has come out and repeated it? | |
| They're in a somewhat of a quandary now, right? | ||
| Well, they haven't had a hard time crying about it. | ||
| They're saying things like disgusting, disgraceful. | ||
| They've all turned. | ||
| All of a sudden, they've turned on Leo. | ||
| And I think that hopefully they're going to stick with that. | ||
| They're going to keep telling the truth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But it's amazing how far that Leo has fallen because they painted him as a Catholic. | |
| They painted him as sort of like, I know, a Pope Benedict Catholic. | ||
| And now. | ||
| Perhaps it's a mistake on his part. | ||
| Perhaps it's bad politics. | ||
| But because this happened in conjunction with this Cardinal Supic, where they made such a strong defense of Catholicism at the same time, it puts him right there with Cardinal Supic, who is one of the most despised bishops among Catholics and in the church. | ||
| I mean, there's others that are maybe despised almost as much, or certainly others as despicable as Cardinal Supic, but he's the one that is the one who'll step out there and do what he did with Cardinal Durbin. | ||
| Remember, with me with Senator Durbin, when they were trying, when the USCCB was having their meeting and they're trying to make pro-life a preeminent part of their position, he fought them tooth and nail. | ||
| And so now here he is, this Pope, who's supposed to be more Catholic, and he's actually turning out to be. | ||
| I don't think that it's so much a mistake. | ||
| I think it's purposeful. | ||
| I think he's angry about what they've done with a Supic. | ||
| I think he is a Supic, and he's teaming up with him, trying to throw some clout, put some weight behind what Supic is in the face of all of this Catholic pushback. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I think that from now on, people are going to know that Leo is, and all these traditional writers have to know that Leo is a Supic. | |
| He's the Supic Pope. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's completely in the same position. | |
| And he's different than Francis in that he has said doctrine can be changed by attitudes. | ||
| And here he is now, a week later from the interview saying that I'm not really sure, but this is, and you're not pro-life. | ||
| I'm not really sure about illegal aliens, but you're not pro-life if you're for the death penalty. | ||
| That's not church teaching. | ||
| That's against Aquinas himself. | ||
| The death penalty protects lives. | ||
| He never considered that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is a disgrace. | |
| But on that point, on that point, Frank Walker, what exactly does he mean when he says that Americans should search together for the truth on ethical issues? | ||
| Well, I know Cardinal Supic responded with a big long letter because Dick Durbin has pulled out of that event at the same time. | ||
| Everything's happening at once. | ||
| So he pulled out of the event. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And in a two-page response, he ends, Cardinal Supic ends with saying, well, we need more synodality. | |
| We need some of that synonymity in order to make Leo's change of doctrine and the attitudes that must precipitate it happen. | ||
| Obviously, you people need more synodality. | ||
| What we need is Catholic leadership somewhere in the church. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We need a leader, a pope who actually expresses. | |
| I mean, doctrine hasn't disappeared. | ||
| There's still a billion people out there that believe it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But these guys are pretending that they can change it. | |
| And that's not going to go over. | ||
| All that's going to do is destroy the Catholic Church. | ||
| No, we don't need any more synodality. | ||
| I think this is a great example of what synodality is all about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's about death. | |
| Thanks. | ||
| Stand by because we're going to come back now to you to break down some of the developments in our little corner of Christendom. | ||
| But I just before handing over, before we do that, I want to highlight an analysis on everything that we've just been speaking about by Chris Jackson. | ||
| I know we mention him from time to time on the war room on this slot, on this 6 p.m. slot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just want to, one quote. | |
| The real betrayal is that traditional media kept their readers from seeing this Pope Leo intervention coming. | ||
| They knew it, they hid it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They mocked those who spoke up. | |
| Every single person in this article is someone that we would have put a question mark. | ||
| Thanks, Denver. | ||
| That's the article I'm talking about. | ||
| Every single person listed in this article is someone that we, the war room, might have said, just pay attention to these guys because they're more interested in conditioning the news for you than telling you the news and letting you make your own mind up. | ||
| And they're doing this because the grift implications. | ||
| The only person in this article who's named in a positive sense is Liz Yore, the war room's very own Liz Yor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's because here on this war room, we have, within the first 24 hours, been alerting and warning people to exactly what this pontificate represents and why Leo was chosen. | |
| And I say, as I said last Wednesday, I'll say it again, the three sources I think are The War Room, Chris Jackson, and of course Canon 212, Frank Walker's very own website, which I do very strongly recommend you folks as a go-to source every day. | ||
| And I look at it myself every day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So when inflation jumps, when you hear the national debt is over $37 trillion, do you ever think maybe now would be a good time to buy gold? | |
| Whether there's a hedge against inflation, peace of mind, during global instability, or just for sensible diversification, Birch Gold Group believes every American should own physical gold. | ||
| What you need to do if you want the special booklet that they have produced is text Bannon to 989898 and Birch Gold will help you roll an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold. | ||
| So that's once again, and Birch Gold is the only precious metals company that we at the war room trust, as do tens of thousands of their customers. | ||
| So make right now your first time to buy gold. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Text Bannon to 989898 and claim your eligibility and free invoke it. | |
| Again, that's Bannon, B-A-D-N-N-O-N to 989898. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So moving on with the show, one of the headlines that I saw this week, which shocked even me. | |
| And I thought my beady, cynical eyes had seen it all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There is a priest here, former priest, defrocked priest here in Louisiana who has been arrested for raping, repeatedly raping, starting when he was age 10, a disabled boy in a wheelchair with autism. | |
| Frank Walker, tell me about this case. | ||
| And is it really as horrific as it sounds? | ||
| Yes, it is quite horrific. | ||
| I question whether, I mean, how uncommon these kinds of things are, actually, but when you read about it, it's just awful. | ||
| It's this priest, Father Mark Francis Ford. | ||
| He's no longer a priest, but he had a group founded to help disabilities. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And through this disability group, and this is the kind of thing that you've seen before with Jane Vanier and Jimmy Savile, people who have groups of children that they care about and they have this, it's sort of to protect their proclivity. | |
| So he, yeah, when he was 10 years old, he met this boy and he had sex with this boy. | ||
| He's, you know, he has a spinal, deteriorating spinal condition, and he's also somewhat autistic. | ||
| He is classified as a juvenile permanently. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now he's 31 years old, but for I think for 16 years, he molested this boy. | |
| And somewhere along the line in this article, it says that he left the priesthood, but they don't say why. | ||
| And then he went into the government. | ||
| I'm not sure if I don't think he was a priest necessarily when he went into the government. | ||
| He started with the Democrat Blanco government in New Orleans and then with Bobby Jindal's government when he was governor. | ||
| So it didn't make any difference. | ||
| And he's supposedly part Indian. | ||
| And so he moved into helping both, you know, Indigenous people and disabled children. | ||
| But if you look at the picture of him, it's quite striking because he needs to be extradited from, I think, from Indiana to New Orleans. | ||
| But the look on his face, he does not look sorry. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He looks like he's got such, it's sort of a frightening attitude to see the look of this guy's face. | |
| He's charged with first-degree rape, second-degree kidnapping, sexual battery, and indecent behavior with a juvenile. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And this is all in the context of this big New Orleans bankruptcy case. | |
| And they're replacing, and now they've $230 million they've offered in bankruptcy. | ||
| And we talked about this before at your show, but they're replacing Archbishop Amon, who has a history of accusations in his seminary that are also gruesome. | ||
| The bishop, the Archbishop, they've been replaced with Bishop Chechio, who is a McCarrick, another McCarrick bishop who Leo has put in place. | ||
| You know, more evidence. | ||
| This guy ran the Pontifical North American College, which is like the bishop-making college, where 10% of the students had AIDS. | ||
| And he worked together with McCarrick. | ||
| And there's just a lot of stuff on Chechio. | ||
| He's not going to be any good. | ||
| And it's all part of the same thing. | ||
| The reason, Frank Walker, that we mention these developments, these stories on the show is not to create scandal, but to warn faithful Catholics that the people who ordain these men, the bishops who ordain, who choose these men, specifically these men for ordination, they sift out all the good guys with strong Catholic faith. | ||
| They say, no, you can't, we won't make you a priest because you're too rigid. | ||
| The people that they go ahead and ordain, these people, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
These bishops, these are the people that expect us to docially, docily submit to their authority. | |
| That's why we mentioned these stories on the show. | ||
| Not to create scandal, but to say to the Catholic faithful, these are the people, the men that expect us to docially submit to their authority, have been doing this, enabling this, covering for this for decades, for decades and decades and decades. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's why we on the war and say that we have to take the governance of the laity need to take the governance of the Catholic Church out of the bishop's hands and into the hands of well-formed believing laity because we will certainly stamp this sort of thing out. | |
| Frank, moving on, I know we've got a break coming up in just a couple of minutes, but I do want you to, if you can, just tell us what happened in my beloved. | ||
| There are so many horror stories, but we don't have time for the one in Switzerland, sadly. | ||
| But my beloved homeland, there's a guy at a riot in Birmingham who was saying, who the F is Allah. | ||
| Now, you might not approve of the language. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You might not approve of the swearing. | |
| You might not approve of being deliberately provocative towards another religion. | ||
| But what has happened to him in the UK, Frank Walker? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, he's been convicted of insulting Islam, which is sort of like what they call blasphemy laws. | |
| So he was in, he was, they said he was the leader of the rally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's a big burly guy. | |
| He's a paver or a tarmacer, they said. | ||
| But there were people throwing things. | ||
| There were people waving sticks and hurling, they called missiles at people. | ||
| He only was yelling at the police. | ||
| And this who the F is Allah is recorded. | ||
| And this is what they got him on because, you know, that is illegal. | ||
| I don't know if it would work the other way because you can't pray in front of a bortuary even silently in the UK. | ||
| I think that these laws are all one-sided. | ||
| Yeah, and he was very sorry in the court, you know, but I wonder, I wish that his testimony could actually say what he thought because what are they supposed to do? | ||
| And why are my question is, why are these things happening in this country? | ||
| I know it's because of the crime, but I think they're looking and they're saying, we have to yell at the police because we have no justice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they're Islamicizing our country. | |
| And they can see now what it's going to become. | ||
| And I think it's like this stage back from a war. | ||
| So the background of this is that Nathan Poole, who's, as you say, a 32-year-old tarmac lawyer, but that is to say a blue-collar worker, regular guy, has been jailed for 30 months. | ||
| Folks, he has been a guy, a working guy protesting in Birmingham, which has a huge ethnic minority, majority, has been sent to prison for 30 months because he said, who the F is Allah. | ||
| That's where we are in the UK now. | ||
| It is a Sharia state. | ||
| That's it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you are implementing, using the secular laws of the land to protect and defend the integrity of Islam, that makes it a Sharia state in all but name. | |
| Because they have the arithmetic, the Muslims have the arithmetic, and the Catholics and the Christians and evangelicals in the UK are so few in number now. | ||
| We don't even create a ripple when it comes to legislation. | ||
| There are no blasphemy laws to protect Christians when you have these great art installations. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we'll talk about that just after this break. | |
| But you have these art installations which are clearly blasphemous, clearly outrageous, and designed to generate social media engagement because of their provocations towards figures that Christians esteem in holding great reverence, like Jesus Christ, like his Blessed Mother, the Virgin Mary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There are no blasphemy laws to protect Christians there. | |
| Blasphemy laws are yes to protect Islams from offense. | ||
| That is the modern day United Kingdom. | ||

| Well, last week, something that I said created a lot of discussion on X that I noticed, and it wasn't very complimentary towards myself. | ||
| It was referring to Charlie Kirk wearing a medallion of Saint Michael the Archangel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I happen to say that I think this is the work of the Holy Spirit, that evangelicals, some evangelicals, obviously not all, some evangelicals are finding some spiritual consolation in the traditional Catholic devotionals. | |
| And they ripped me a new one on X. | ||
| They said, Han, well, you don't know what you're talking about. | ||
| No evangelicals are getting any sustenance from your Popish magical amulets and all the rest of it. | ||
| But I hold very much to this. | ||
| I think the Holy Spirit is at work. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I think it's beautiful to see that some evangelicals are getting some spiritual riches out of the traditional Catholic devotionals. | |
| And I'm perfectly happy for this to be a two-way relationship, that Catholics can also be enriched by certain evangelical practices. | ||
| I say that as a former Protestant. | ||
| I think the evangelicals do certain things better than Catholics, and that we would be stronger if we were able to learn from evangelicals. | ||
| And this is something that I've long thought, that the problem with ecumenism over the years, over the decades, has effectively been the Catholics who don't believe a word of their faith getting together with Protestants who don't believe a word of their faith, producing meaningless, unreadable declarations about how much they all hold in common. | ||
| Of course, they hold lots in common. | ||
| Principally, that neither of them, none of them, believe any words of their own faiths. | ||
| It's just a grift. | ||
| It's just a shtick that they use to put a roof over their heads and food on the table and social reputation of being in the clergy. | ||
| But there's no real faith there. | ||
| And what I would like to see is traditional Catholics, the ecumenism I would like to see is traditional Catholics coming together with believing evangelicals, especially in the public square, especially to fight for the issues that are important to Christians. | ||
| So that's something else I would actually say. | ||
| As I was saying in the first part of the show, that we need to take the management of the laity. | ||
| The Catholic laity needs to take the management of the winning of the Catholic Church into its own hands from the bishops. | ||
| And the other thing I would like to see, one of the other things I would like to see, is an ecumenism where traditional Catholics can embrace conservative evangelicals. | ||
| And I have no problem when evangelicals say, all you Catholics, you're all going to hell. | ||
| I don't have any problem. | ||
| I respect that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What I don't really like are evangelicals who will sit on their hands and say, oh, no, we don't want to upset Catholics. | |
| And EDEM, Catholics, should have courage as well in Expositioning, laying out why we believe what we believe. | ||
| That I think is something that we, the laity, can do because our hired, our hireling shepherd leaders certainly aren't going to help with that. | ||
| So, why am I that introduction? | ||
| Well, on the back of everyone on X saying, hang on, well, you have no idea what you're talking about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No evangelicals are drawing sustenance from Catholic devotionals. | |
| President Trump put out a message on the feast of St. Michael the Archangel. | ||
| Now, I'm not going to say that President Trump is doing this and therefore all evangelicals should follow his line because I don't really know how substantial a believer President Trump is. | ||
| I certainly think the Holy Spirit, when President Trump is doing things to advance Christendom here on earth, I certainly think the Holy Spirit is working through him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think that is absolutely clear. | |
| I think when that bullet missed President Trump by a mere whisker in Butler, Pennsylvania last year, I think that was the Holy Spirit at work. | ||
| Liz, you're tell us then a bit about what President Trump said about Christians. | ||
| I don't even see the word Catholic in here, in his statement. | ||
| Tell us a bit about what he said about St. Michael the Archangel, why it's important, why Catholics think it's important, and with the greatest of really what I was just saying, the greatest of respect and openness towards our evangelical brothers and sisters, why they might find it important as well. | ||
| Yes, I was personally astonished by this statement from President Trump. | ||
| I'd like to read a portion of it because I think it's very compelling. | ||
| And, you know, for those of us, you know, my work in child protection, St. Michael has been an integral part. | ||
| I began to learn about him, pray to him daily to protect children. | ||
| And so for me as a Catholic, my devotion to St. Michael is very great. | ||
| And also, I think, so I was thrilled to see this, but this is what President Trump issued on the feast day of St. Michael the Archangel. | ||
| Today I salute the millions of Christian believers in the United States and around the world observing the feast of St. Michael the Archangel. | ||
| According to sacred scripture, when the devil rebelled against God in heaven, Saint Michael and his legion of angels cast Satan down to earth, triumphantly asserting God's sovereignty over all creation. | ||
| For 2,000 years, Christians have looked to St. Michael the Archangel for protection, strength, and courage in times of conflict, distress, and doubt. | ||
| And in 1886, nearly 140 years ago, Pope Leo XIII, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, fearing for the future of the Western world, introduced the legendary prayer to Saint Michael, which is still recited to this day in churches and homes and after masses all across the nation and throughout the world. | ||
| And then he lists the prayer. | ||
| I think, you know, for those of us realizing, kind of reading the tea leaves, all the conflicts around the world, all the conflicts in our country, seeing, you know, the face of evil day in and day out on the news. | ||
| And certainly many people in their families struggling with these battles, both personal and otherwise, that St. Michael has been a crutch, an inspiration, somebody that we can turn to in these times, which clearly need the protection of the angels. | ||
| Many of us, both Christians and Catholics, certainly believe in our guardian angels. | ||
| pray to our guardian angels every morning. | ||
| So I think this is a very compelling message from President Trump. | ||
| And, you know, frankly, you know, this is here we are ironically coming from a secular, I guess, Christian in the White House extolling a beloved saint in the Catholic Church when we're talking previously about the quote-unquote vicar of Christ who is promoting a secular agenda. | ||
| So the irony is quite great. | ||
| But I would encourage both Christians and Catholics to read and study about St. Michael's. | ||
| I know many people that are not Catholic have asked me to pray to St. Michael for their own troubles. | ||
| I mean, they've asked me to pray rosaries. | ||
| I know this has happened to many Catholics. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, so I believe, despite what you see on social media, that Christians and Catholics reach out to each other both in prayer and in support. | |
| And this is certainly a powerful figure and devotion that I would encourage, especially now as we face all the challenges in the world, that we learn St. Michael's prayer and that those Catholics that aren't saying it after Mass, this is something, you know, you talk about the laity. | ||
| This is something that the laity can do once Mass ends to just on your own start praying loudly the St. Michael prayer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it does catch on. | |
| I've seen it in many parishes. | ||
| This is totally unpredicted, I think, of the out of the Trump phenomenon that we're seeing a figure here who has done more, I think, to unashamedly defend the presence of Christianity in the public square, probably, I don't know, than any other president for two centuries. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And becoming, and becoming, and when he puts out statements like this, and he's nobody, like we've seen the memes with the AI design memes of President Trump in the full paper of Schmutter, right, which are very amusing. | ||
| But really, Donald Trump is nobody's idea of a traditional Catholic icon. | ||
| And yet, when he pushes out congratulatory statements like this, I didn't say anything, by the way, as you're saying, Liz, I didn't say anything myself, similarly put out by Pope Leo, but I might have missed that. | ||
| But when he does that, he's becoming in himself a point of unity between Catholics and traditional Catholics who look to President Trump as being their political point of inspiration, and also evangelicals who look to the same President Trump as political inspiration. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he's putting out these statements. | |
| And I think this is the Holy Spirit. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| No one else could have put out the statement like this and gotten away with it and not been pillowied by either side. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think it's a beautiful thing that he's done. | |
| And I mention again that Charlie Kirk, who is definitely becoming the cornerstone, I think I've seen it referred to as the Third American Revival now. | ||
| After his martyrdom, he was wearing a medallion to St. Michael the Archangel. | ||
| And my message then, therefore, to all baptized, of goodwill, just that there's a spiritual richness in some of these things. | ||
| that even you might be evangelical, you might even be Catholic and say, I would know, you know, I wouldn't even think about wearing a devotional. | ||
| But these things are, they are, they are having a renaissance. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I think that is the Holy Spirit's work. | |
| And I think the Holy Spirit is working through President Donald Trump on something like this, where he puts out this statement. | ||
| Look, we only got, I think, five minutes for the show left. | ||
| Frank, before we come back to you, let's have a quick reference to the legendary Jim Rickards. | ||
| So what if you had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month? | ||
| Warroom listeners know Jim Rickards as our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets. | ||
| Jim predicted Trump's electoral college victory, exactly 312 to 226. | ||
| Now he's issuing a dire warning about a moment that could define Trump's presidency and your financial future. | ||
| His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos. | ||
| Bank runs at lightning speed, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security. | ||
| Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for strategic intelligence, Jim's flagship financial newsletter. | ||

| Staying with Pope Leo XIV, he's just made an appointment of Christiana Perella as the new head of the Pontifical Academy for Fine Arts, an appointment that some people are calling scandalous. | ||
| Frank Walker, tell us a bit about this appointment and why is it getting some people so concerned? | ||
| Well, I mean, it's completely outrageous. | ||
| I read about this a couple of weeks ago and it was just shocking because what I was reading came with the photos. | ||
| Christiana Perella is the new head of the Pontifical Academy of Fine Arts. | ||
| And she's sort of a pornographer. | ||
| In 2019, she had an exhibition called Night Fever, which supported gay claims. | ||
| In 2020, she depicted naked bodies, some of them in homoerotic poses. | ||
| In 2021, she had posters of adult films. | ||
| And this is what I remember. | ||
| I mean, this is like, this is graphic pornography. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what her art is. | |
| When you think of the Vatican fine arts, you don't think of this. | ||
| And in 2022, Francis appointed her to the Academy of Fine Arts. | ||
| This is just a promotion for her. | ||
| Now Leo has made her in charge. | ||
| It's just, if you could see the photos of what this lady actually promotes, and it's supposed to be coming out of the Vatican, you think of a Vatican, which is just sort of a rotting corpse full of worms. | ||
| I mean, that's what this is like. | ||
| That's what a shocking person this is. | ||
| And, you know, Leo has pushed a lot of women in high places, nuns in high places. | ||
| And with them come all these new kind of pathologies from a feminine perspective. | ||
| And it's just more of the same. | ||
| That this piece at Raraticelli has to do with the softness of Trad Inc., because that's sort of a trad ink site. | ||
| And the way that they handle it is completely the opposite of how you would want to handle it. | ||
| They say that it's a decision that cannot be exempt from our reservations. | ||
| There could be some problem of governance on the part of Pope Leo. | ||
| He's just being too pressured too much by the gay lobby. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He, Pope Leo, is a gay lobby. | |
| You know, what price unity? | ||
| You know, these are the things they're saying. | ||
| They should be exclaiming outrage at this person. | ||
| It's just unbearably mild. | ||
| And this is the issue. | ||
| How do you see the picture? | ||
| It's exactly the point. | ||
| This is exactly the point. | ||

This is the winning theme of today's show. | |
| Faithful Catholics, do not give your docility to these people, not to your bishops, not to your cardinals, and certainly not to the Pope, because these people do not have your faith, the faith that you love, the faith that you cherish. | ||
| They do not have these things at heart. | ||
| In fact, all they're trying to do is undermine this. | ||
| Liz, just give me 90 seconds, your reaction to this appointment. | ||
| So earlier in the show, we were talking about truth being assaulted by Leo and that he was undermining 2,000 years of the truth of the Catholic Church and the dogmother church. | ||
| Now we have the assault on beauty. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We saw that last week when the LGBT scandal in St. Peter's Basilica, where they walked in with LGBT paraphernalia and blasphemous t-shirts. | |
| This is the attack on the Catholic Church, everything that the church stands for: truth, beauty, and it's being assaulted, minimized, erased by the new Senator Church. | ||
| The new Senator Church is the promotion of the LGBT eroticism, and this is it on display. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they are becoming part of the secular world. | |
| They are embracing the secular world. | ||
| So none of this is surprising. | ||
| It's all strategic by the Vatican. | ||
| And these appointments are going to continue to shock and be absolutely undermining the faith of 2000 years. | ||
| So hold on to your hats. | ||
| I mean, this is very troubling. | ||
| And, you know, as a woman, I'm insulted that he hires these women to promote this pornography and debasement of the arts and culture when we have 2,000 years of magnificent art and culture and music. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And what did we see? | |
| We saw last week, we saw Bam Bam, the Thai rap musician in St. Peter's Square with the bile lyrics of Clips, another rap group. | ||
| So they are, the Vatican is embracing the lower base nature of man. | ||
| And we're going to see it continue under this Leo. | ||
| Folks, you heard it there, right? | ||
| That is the synthesis. | ||
| Leo Vatican is coordinating a full frontal assault on truth, goodness, and beauty. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But the point you mentioned, Liz, I think is absolutely perfect. | |
| If it wasn't obvious from what these people had done to the liturgy over the last 60 years with the assault on beauty, now they're making it explicit. | ||
| Now, folks, they are giving you no wiggle room to claim that you can't see what's going on. | ||
| This is in your face, pornography in the Vatican masquerading itself as art. | ||

Liz Yor, where do people go on social media to keep up with your analysis? | |
| My substance, Elizabeth Yore. | ||
| Your children is my website, and everywhere on social media under Elizabeth Yore. | ||
| Frank Walker? | ||
| Canon 212 with one end, type it up in the address line. | ||
| And also, if you want to see the daily update, it's at Rumble and it's at Gloria TV. | ||
| That's brilliant. | ||
| Don't forget, folks, Canon 212 is undergoing the algorithmic distractions. | ||
| They don't want you to see the site. | ||
| Type it in the browser bar yourself and then you will get the breaking news in the Catholic sphere as it happens. | ||
