Episode 5287: The War Is Crippling The Dollar System; Muslim Invasion Heads To Tennessee

Stephen K. Bannon and Philip Patrick analyze the dollar's decline amid Middle East conflicts, citing gold surges due to weaponized sanctions on Russia and Iran. They pivot to a "Muslim invasion" in Tennessee schools, alleging unconstitutional prayer times at Overton High School driven by secular elites, while championing Texas legislative victories against CAIR. The duo dismisses Paul Ehrlich's population predictions, advocating natalist policies to counter demographic shifts, all while promoting Birch Gold and 845 War Room amidst claims of foreign terrorist influence on American education.

Speaker Time Text
Gold As Future Dollar Replacement 00:02:12
eric bolling
So that, whatever dollars they were holding are becoming less and less.
And then they had to replace it with something.
What's going to be the replacement?
We're not sure yet, but gold will be the great place to put it.
It's a store or a value, a major store of value for 250 plus years or longer, maybe a thousand years.
But the U.S. dollar has done nothing but decline for the last hundred years, elevated during any sort of inflationary periods.
And this, taking the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency for global trade, will just put a nail in the coffin of the U.S. dollar.
It'll tank, and everything we have here in the United States will become more expensive.
There are those who might like it.
Big fat cat real estate owners may like that because the same house becomes worth more, but your rent's going to go up too to rent that house if you're not the owner of it.
It's a bad, bad, horrible situation economically for the U.S.
steve bannon
The interesting thing is this is happening during a time when you see that classic flight to safety that the U.S. dollar has already always had.
Anyway, Eric, we'll have a lot to talk about.
Tomorrow, I'm sure there's going to be a lot of action in the markets overnight as people work their way through the ceasefire.
Is it going to hold?
Is it not going to hold?
What do the markets tell us this afternoon?
eric bolling
Oh, we went up against Steve.
steve bannon
Do you think the ceasefire is going to hold?
eric bolling
Earlier when we spoke, it was 103.
Then it came crashing down $4 or $5 a barrel when BB said he would meet with Lebanon, and it's working its way back up.
We're right at $100 a barrel again.
Somehow, it just is resilient because these oil guys see the future.
They're very nervous about oil higher, so they're buying in anticipation of higher prices, unfortunately.
steve bannon
you Eric, where do people get you on social media tonight?
unidentified
Right here.
eric bolling
Eric Bowling, but also two in the morning.
We'll do all that later because this is more important.
I don't want to sell stuff right now, Steve.
I want to be with you and talk to the people about what's really happening because, again, we're talking about stuff that's happening in the future.
And a lot of the stuff we talked about 40 days ago, 20 days ago, 10 days ago are happening now.
Let's talk about what's happening in the future.
That's where you get it.
You can watch Fox, you can watch Puppies and Rainbows and what happened yesterday.
But watch Bannon and Worm, watch Rav, watch Bowling.
You find out what's happening next.
Middle East Weaponization Of The Dollar 00:16:02
eric bolling
I'm not kidding, am I?
steve bannon
The closest thing we have to a puppy is Eric Bowling.
Thank you, sir.
unidentified
Appreciate you.
steve bannon
I'll see you tomorrow morning, sir.
Thank you, Eric.
We're going to do a cold open.
We've got a lot of stuff breaking this afternoon.
We're going to do a cold open, and then Philip Patrick's going to join us.
But the show is absolutely packed.
So let's go ahead and let it rip.
brianna keilar
Today, there is major movement to bolster the fragile two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran after Israeli strikes reportedly killed hundreds in Lebanon on Wednesday and put the truce in.
Limbo.
President Trump said in an interview with NBC that he asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be more low-key on Lebanon.
But moments ago, here was Netanyahu.
translator hebrew
I want to tell you, there is no ceasefire in Lebanon.
We are continuing to strike Hezbollah with force, and we will not stop until we restore your security.
Following repeated requests from the Lebanese government to open peace negotiations with us, One, the disarmament of Hezbollah.
And the second, a historic, sustainable peace agreement between Israel and Lebanon.
ana cabrera
It just seems like Israel doesn't care about this ceasefire.
They're going to continue to bubble Lebanon, even if it jeopardizes the relative peace that has been established to prepare for these upcoming talks.
Explain that dynamic, why Israel is so focused on Hezbollah that it's willing to put so much on the line.
michael weiss
I think the one unmitigated success in the minds of the Israeli security.
Leadership and particularly Mossad was disemboweling Hezbollah after the October 7th military campaigns, of which I think this war in Iran is sort of the culmination.
We all remember the famous pager gate, the dropping of an enormous bomb on a complex housing Secretary General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, the utter decimation of their leadership.
Israel had spent two decades since the Second Lebanon War basically mapping the terrain, figuring out everything about Hezbollah because they anticipated this was going to be the next regional conflict.
So for them, I think this is, they want to deliver the coup de grace.
Now, it's true that reporting suggests not only was Israel down on the idea of a ceasefire with Iran, but they insisted that Lebanon not be on the table in these negotiations.
You just played a segment of JD Vance coming out of Hungary saying, the Iranians got it wrong.
We never said Lebanon.
So that, I think, will offer incentive, if not carte blanche, to the Israelis to escalate.
And indeed, I mean, just after the ceasefire was announced, within hours, it was the single biggest day of escalation on the Israeli side against Hezbollah.
Now, the danger here, if you talk to Lebanese, and I have a lot of friends who live in Beirut, Quite a lot of Lebanese were happy to see Hezbollah eviscerated because they saw that Hezbollah was an actual deep state.
They had control of the country, they were dragging the nation to war.
ana cabrera
But why does Hezbollah have so much control?
Because it's a separate entity than the Lebanese government.
michael weiss
This was the kind of crowning achievement of the IRGC's power projection project.
The late general Qasem Soleimani kind of constructed this apparatus.
Hezbollah is not just a terrorist organization, it is a paramilitary.
They have administrative services, they are a political party.
But if ever the term deep state should apply, it ought to apply to this organization.
They control the airport.
They control the security apparatus.
They had penetrated the Lebanese armed forces.
You name it, there was a finger in whatever pie in Lebanon.
So Lebanese who are joyful to see Hezbollah finally kind of extirpated from all of these apparatuses now are beginning to get very upset and nervous because this is affecting the civilian population, right?
And the one thing you don't want to do is alienate people on the ground who might be amenable to seeing sort of emancipation from this.
steve bannon
Terrorist and report that that is Michael Weiss, and I think that one of the reasons we do cuts and he's on more and more is that he's he's got a way of explaining things right there.
He cuts to the chase about Hezbollah.
As much as I've had a problem with this war continuing to expand and being in Lebanon, there is some justification for the simple reason they're just not a terrorist organization, they are a paramilitary at one time.
I think you could argue the best light infantry.
Uh, maybe outside of IDF in the entire Middle East, uh, this so that whole situation now you heard bowling.
When it was announced earlier that the Netanyahu government was prepared to begin discussions, oil dropped again.
Now, as people are thinking about it, that's why this truce is very fragile.
And the president and his team are trying to work through this and grind through this.
Philip Patrick joins us.
Philip, you have been on here for a while warning about this, but it's always nice to get an outside validation, particularly from a group as respectable as Bloomberg.
Now, Bloomberg is.
Michael Bloomberg owns it, but when we talk Bloomberg, we're really talking about the information that goes to the terminal.
When we say the terminal, that's to every essential bond trader in the world.
Yes, equity people have it too, also, but it's principally Bloomberg came out of the bond department.
He was a bond trader at Solomon Brothers back in the 1980s when they were known as masters of the universe.
If you ever read the book Bonfire the Vanities or saw the movie with Tom Hanks back in the 1980s, the masters of the universe were then.
Considered the bond department of Solomon.
I was Goldman Sachs, and that was more MA and equities, but Solomon kind of controlled corporate America through the bond market.
So Bloomberg came with this idea to put breaking information, important information, right on a terminal that a bond trader wouldn't have to read the newspaper or go anywhere.
And so today, Philip, I want you to take a moment and walk through this.
A very important story came out from Bloomberg.
And guess what?
It's about the U.S. dollar and how this entire situation in the Middle East, and particularly.
As the center of gravity of this war has shifted to the Persian Gulf and the Straits of Hormuz, that this is going to have a major impact on the dollar going forward.
And I just read the opening paragraph, Philip, about gold reserves, all of it.
But when you read this, you sit there, the Warham audience, you know, maybe people that are on Bond Desk or read the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times of London, maybe they're sitting there going, This is interesting.
I hadn't thought about this.
The Warham posse would not be part of that group because you have preached this.
For a while, but we were validated today by Bloomberg.
Walk us through what this piece tells us and why it's important.
phillip patrick
Look, as you rightly point out, it was referencing things we've been talking about on the war room since 2022.
And that is that broadly, the rules of the global financial system have changed.
And the Iran conflict, of course, is just another milestone in the longer term decline of dollar dominance that really began under President Biden.
Now, What's really changed?
We've talked a lot about weaponization, and we're seeing it now weaponization of the entire financial system.
And it's not just one thing, right?
Seizing Russia's assets and reserves was certainly the catalyst.
But now we have tariffs, we have financial sanctions, and now we have conflict spillover, right?
Iran's declaration that any institution that owns U.S. debt is now a legitimate war target was very telling, right?
And it shows us that the Iranians are pretty smart.
They understand our Achilles heel and they're trying to exert pressure from the inside.
But look, I don't think this is necessarily a story of collapse, right?
The dollar doesn't fall overnight, but what it does instead is it erodes milestone by milestone.
We saw it exactly the same thing with the British pound, right?
We saw the economic damage of World War I, the Great Depression, Bretton Woods, the Suez Crisis, all steps down the path to the same destination, not necessarily an apocalypse.
But death by a thousand cuts.
And it's exactly what we're seeing in the current climate.
Now, What I don't want to do is come on here and give a history lesson, but I want to describe a precedent, right?
It isn't just one thing, it's the cumulative damage of decisions made over years and decades.
Dollar reserves have been trending down really since 2013, long before anybody was really talking about this.
But today we can see it manifest in the numbers.
Central banks used to buy dollars when the dollar fell, sell them into rallies, but today they're not.
And that is a massive change in dynamics.
And at the same time, we need this demand today more than any other time in history.
Scott Besson is auctioning off $8.2 billion in new debt every trading day this year.
So demand matters today more than any other point in history.
To sort of summarize, the global financial system has worked for years by treating US government debt as if it's risk free.
But it's only risk free while global trust remains intact.
And that's simply not the case anymore.
And we're already starting to see how this is playing now in the real world.
steve bannon
I want to say also, I want to connect some dots here to what we've been talking about.
When he says the weaponization, as you remember, we went crazy when the EU seized, not just seized, but then we're going to monetize the Russian people's assets, not simply the government, but really what the government held for the people of Russia.
They were going to seize it, they were going to monetize it, and they were going to actually pay because they didn't have the money, as we kept telling you.
They were going to pay for their.
Ukraine war defense with the Russians' cash.
And that was the first thing, I guess, in the Biden administration that went crazy.
I have been an advocate of kind of that economic war here.
And I realize that plays into this whole question of the weaponization because the power of what Scott Besson did back in December and January to break the currency of Iran was the thing that forced the people out to the streets.
They thought the government was going to come down.
And I kept advocating, hey, you can bring these guys down.
Without firing a shot.
You don't need this massive military buildup.
Besson's showing you how you get a revolution going against a regime.
When that, for whatever reason, was called off, I've made a huge deal, Patrick, about the only way these guys, the mullahs, finance themselves.
They got two ways.
They monetize oil to essentially the Chinese Communist Party and now India, but really the CCP.
They get cash there coming through Hormuz, past a couple of carrier battle groups, through the Malacca Straits to China.
The other way is in the.
The Tortuga of the Persian Gulf, like the Caribbean pirates used to have in the British Empire, you've got Dubai.
And this is why I say you can't trust any of these guys.
Dubai has been the way they've laundered the money, and all the assets of the Iranians aren't really sitting in Switzerland.
Maybe some of the Mullahs and the Ayatollahs, but the way they fund the government is in UAE and Dubai.
And I was the first to say, hey, if we're going to send young men and women in harm's way, seize those assets.
Now, that does play into this weaponization.
Where the rest of the world goes, well, hey, if the dollar denominated assets can be, can every time Trump wants to or the US government wants to, they can just grab it.
That's much worse than the EU taking the Russians in basically European banks that are in, you know, the kind of in EU denominated, you know, currency.
And so this has led to this.
And now you've got these central banks shying away from dollar denominated assets and going right for gold.
We're going to get into all of it, but this is a major.
And this is part of the financial war, the economic war that you have to decide are you going to use the Swiss system?
Are we going to start seizing assets?
Are we going to blockade?
Scott Besson, I think now is talking about doing what I've called for a long time a quarantine or blockade in the Gulf of Oman.
Just stop them all from coming out of Hormuz and don't let anything go for it.
Short break.
Philip Patrick on the other side.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.
steve bannon
Okay, if the other.
Conservative cable news channels are showing puppy dogs and they want to talk about their new egg omelets, is because they don't want to spend time and talk about what this war is really about and how we're going to work our way through it as a country and as a political movement.
Why did we start with the end of the dollar empire six years ago and talk about the history of this country and populism and fiat currency and the whole history of the populist movement and what it meant about the Jekyll Island and the Federal Reserve and federal income tax and all of it and tie it together and talk about?
Current times, because we knew this day was coming.
What day is that?
The day that, just like in the British Empire and the British pound, enormous, enormous pressure would come on the financial system set up and structured after World War II, particularly centered around a place in a system called Bretton Woods, which was a financial system that put at the heart of it the US dollar as the new prime reserve currency to pick up from where the British pound could no longer.
It could no longer rest on its shoulders.
Their economy wasn't deep enough.
Their capital markets weren't deep enough.
And post World War II, as the victor, and remember, we were the victor for one of the simple reasons that nowhere really in mainland the United States we were intact.
Germany was shattered.
Continental Europe, much of it was shattered.
Japan was basically driven back to virtually the Stone Age.
Same with mainland China.
So there was massive, massive dislocation to the fact that we had to step up and write the check for something called the Marshall Plan.
To put the Europeans back on their feet.
I think that's one of the reasons President Trump and others of our age group are so furious about NATO and why NATO stiffed us here in this crisis in the Middle East.
But the dollar, our system is under assault.
It's under assault.
First, number one, the elites in this country have done a horrible job of mismanaging all of this.
And you're going to see this this week, as we talked about.
Russ Vogt's going to go testify to the House Budget Committee, and that is, there's going to be a firestorm.
Because of the 39 trillion in debt, and quite frankly, the Wharton School, which President Trump's a graduate of, says there's really a hundred trillion dollars of debt on the resting on the shoulders of the dollar.
This war has only exacerbated the economic warfare and financial warfare around this war, it has also exacerbated.
But nations of the world that don't have our bad interests in mind with the United States are sitting there going, Hey, look, I got to think this thing through.
Do I want to be that loaded with dollars or I want gold?
But the enemies of the United States see a perfect opportunity.
Particularly the BRICS nations, led by, wait for it, the Chinese Communist Party.
And this is why I'm a big advocate.
There's no need to go to Islamabad.
That's just, you're dealing with grundowns that can't deliver and can't execute a deal.
You've got a state visit set up in mid May with the Chinese Communist Party and Xi, and you'll be in the room, principal to principal.
BRICS Nations Shift To Gold 00:09:56
steve bannon
And this has got to be one of the aspects of it.
Philip Patrick, end of the dollar empire, birchgold.com, promo code Bannon.
You get it.
We got the eighth free installment.
That we talk about the pressures on the dollar even before the war started.
This is something we've worked on for the last five or six months.
We edit a little update about the war, but the pressures that were already on the dollar as the prime reserve currency.
And trust me, the two things that matter in your life every day you should check is the US dollar and the 10 year bond, because those two instruments kind of are proxies for kind of capital markets.
And that is very important to you your credit card, your car loan, your home loan, your student loan.
unidentified
All of it.
steve bannon
Philip Patrick, your thoughts, sir?
phillip patrick
Apologies.
I was saying, absolutely.
These are high level concepts that we're talking about.
It's, you know, US government debt, it's debt service, it's borrowing rates increasing.
But as you rightly point out, they sound like high level concepts, but they affect everything that we do from mortgage payments to home loans and absolutely everything.
So this is going to be a very important topic moving forward.
We're seeing the mainstream media now catching on, understanding there's a problem.
And I think the more people, Sort of understand where the issues are coming from, the more that they can prepare for them.
And that's what we were trying to achieve with the end of the dollar empire series, it wasn't a suggestion that things are collapsing tomorrow, but more of a warning to people.
We're heading down a very dangerous path, and there are ways that people can protect themselves.
Central banks today are turning to gold at higher levels than ever before in history.
I mean, the last four years were the four biggest years for gold buying in central bank history.
Central banks have been buying gold for thousands of years.
If that doesn't tell people there is a real problem on the horizon, I don't know what will.
But that's why, for us, the end of the dollar empire reports, the war room itself, such an important vehicle to educate people, because I think the more people learn and understand, the easier things will be.
steve bannon
Listen, and I understand that the war room is not for everybody.
It's just not.
I've never produced this and never made this that it's going to be for a mass audience.
It's just not.
It's going to be for people that are self selective.
Working class people, middle class people, maybe many people don't have college education.
You don't need a college education.
We'll give you an MBA if you watch this.
And we're adamant about a big part of the broadcast is about capital markets because the world breaks down into money, power, and let's be honest, faith.
Faith in our different faith systems play into this a lot.
But if you don't understand the money part of it, the capital markets part of it, you can't understand the power part of it.
It's absolutely essential.
And for cable TV networks that don't do it, that's fine.
We have a different audience, and the audience doesn't want to push themselves.
We raise the bar high.
We understand this is a tough show to follow sometimes, but it has to be.
Why does it have to be?
Because we have to build a cadre of populist nationalists that really understand how the world works and what all this convergence of all these factors.
Now, we've had like sanctions.
I'm a big sanctions guy.
I was adamant that we just stuck and really stuck.
This is why it upsets me so much that our ally, quote unquote, in the UAE, in Dubai, Allowed the Iranians for open secret that they use the banks to launder their money, it really hurts the sanctions.
The sanctions are a big part of economic warfare.
You want to bring the mullahs to their knees, go after their currency, go shut them down on sanctions, penalize everybody that deals with them.
President Trump's the other day, not war room, President Trump said 50% tariff on anybody that sells them arms or ships them arms.
That ought to be part of an interesting conversation in Beijing on the 15th because the Chinese Communist Party, through Various fronts are the biggest arms supplier for the Iranians.
Okay, so this war, but that all blows back on people saying, hey, do I want that much dollar exposure?
Because I either don't trust the Americans or I don't like the Americans or I don't like that the Americans have all this power.
Philip Patrick, your thoughts, sir.
phillip patrick
Look, I agree.
And sanctions can be a very powerful weapon.
As you mentioned, we saw Scott Besson use them expertly and exert maximum pressure on the Iranians.
In December of 2025.
The concern though is that once you use sanctions, people know it and they start to bypass, right?
Look at the Iranians now looking to charge ships through the state of Hormuz in crypto, right?
They're not looking to reform the system, they're going to go around it.
It's exactly what we saw with Russia and it's exactly what we're seeing here play out.
And I think the word that you used that is very important is trust, right?
And I think trust is largely why central banks around the world are quietly.
Shifting into gold, not because it is a hot trade.
It certainly is in the current climate, but that's not what's driving central banks.
It's because it's neutral, it's outside the debt based financial system, and it doesn't carry political risk.
By the way, global reserves of gold today have eclipsed now dollar reserves adjusted for valuation effects to net net comparison.
But that's the first time since the International Monetary Fund started publishing data 30 years ago.
So this is a real problem.
Yes, I'm a believer.
Look, Exerting economic pressure is going to be key, but we've got to do it in the right way.
steve bannon
This is why it's that tripwire is why Bloomberg wrote the piece today.
He called gold reserves are more than dollar backed reserves.
That is a significant marker.
We have told you this day's coming, right, for a couple of years now.
And guess what?
It came.
We have to know about the implications of it.
And that's why you've got to get, whether it's about your country, about you better as a populist nationalist in a political movement.
Or it's just about your community, your family, or your own personal finance.
This is something you have to understand.
It ain't the price of gold, it's the pattern recognition of what drives the value of gold and why it's been a hedge for so many thousands of years.
And it's quite ironic that where civilization essentially we felt started right in the Tigris and the Euphrates, back in this part of the Middle East.
Now we're having this discussion.
In the 21st century, as we have AI about to overwhelm us, we're back to really the beginning.
I want to make sure everybody goes to Birch Gold, promo code Bannon, end of the dollar empire, eighth free installment.

I want everybody to read this.
unidentified
Okay.
steve bannon
Of course, I keep saying the threat to the United States of America, the imminent threat to the United States of America, ain't in downtown Tehran.
It's not even buried under the rubble in Tehran.
It's inside the wire in the United States of America.

steve bannon
As I said, the imminent threat to the United States of America is not in downtown Tehran, below the rubble.
It is what's happening in states like, and I'm not talking New York and California.
Get that out of your mind.
They're gone.
Texas Education Wins And Votes 00:07:34
steve bannon
I'm talking about the great state of Texas and Tennessee and Nashville, Tennessee.
I've got Julie Pickering and Michael Patrick Leahy.
Julie, first, how's it going at the Education Board?
People in this audience across the nation are overwhelmingly in support, but they're in shock of what you guys are even having to go through.
Can you get us up to date?
unidentified
Yes, sir.
dr julie pickren
Hi, sir.
Steve, yes, I think you have your war room and I had my war room this week.
So, yes, but I just want to say a very heartfelt, very big Texas thank you to you and to the Patriots who watch this show because you have, you have, you have showed up and you have spoken up and you are having a direct impact on what's happening in education in Texas, which will have a direct impact on what's happening in education.
We had over 200 people show up this week for the Freedom Rally that you helped with.
And I'm just so thankful to Bama Hart.
And I have already two pages of list of huge wins because of the influence of the war room and the influence of your viewers.
So I just want to say thank you.
And if you'd like me to tell those wins, they're big, and I would love to share these wins with you.
steve bannon
Julie, give us a couple of the wins, and then I want to talk about what we still need to do.
Because my understanding, I don't know if you're going to vote this afternoon.
I know you've been jumping back and forth where we've had on here to go in for votes of what the process of it goes tomorrow.
But this audience 1000% has your back.
Can you give us a couple of wins that they can think about?
dr julie pickren
Yes, sir.
So we added these are amendments that I submitted that were passed.
We added teaching students a part of good citizenship, saying the Pledge of Allegiance to U.S. and Texas WAGs, standing.
facing the flags with a hand over your heart.
We also added that pilgrims came to America to seek religious freedom, political freedom, and to freely worship God.
We also added, these are all my amendments.
We also added the Mayflower Compact was an agreement to work together, choose leaders, and follow rules based on Christian values.
We also added that students study U.S. and Texas history through story symbols, important events that highlight freedom, unity, and patriotism.
So we added in patriotism.
We also added that the Texas flag, the beautiful Lone Star flag represents unity.
The red represents bravery.
The blue represents loyalty.
And the white represents purity.
Another great win was that we, you know, food production is under attack.
Where our food comes from is under attack.
So we added in the importance of ranching and farming for food production.
We also added in that the pilgrims crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Europe to America to seek freedom, to follow their religion, and to practice.
Their faith in God.
And then, you know, and we also have what we call the Texas Thanksgiving, where it was a Thanksgiving that happened in El Paso in the 1500s.
And we added to that story that the whole purpose of that Thanksgiving was for also to give thanks to God.
And then another great thing that we've added that hasn't been in Texas education hasn't been.
steve bannon
Julie, hang on for a second, hang on a second, because we don't have time to go through all.
But those are wins, but they would seem to be.
People are kind of shocked that's not in Texas school books right now.
That's not a radical theory, just walk through.
Why is that in school books?
And how do we have a terrorist organization like that's been designated a terrorist organization?
Ain't the War Room Saints or Stephen K. Bannon?
This is the governor of Texas, governor of Florida, head of the UAE, head of Saudi Arabia, president of these United States.
How are these wins?
Seem important, but we're kind of shocked they're not done in every, you know, already.
And number two, how do these Islamists even have standing to come in here and threaten the Pilgrims and the Alamo?
In the lone star flag, ma'am.
dr julie pickren
Oh, Steve, these wins are revolutionary in public education, not just for Texas, but for all of America.
The fact that we're going to teach the black robe regimen now.
That was another huge win of teaching the importance of the black robe regimen and the pastors that were involved in the black robe regimen.
That hasn't been taught anywhere in America in public education for over 60 years.
So these are huge wins.
And I'm with you on care.
You, the fact that they came to testify that the foreign terrorist organization showed up again this week to testify.
And was allowed to testify is just astounding to me.
And the fact that one of our Democrat members, Stacey Childs from Houston, on public, this is video.
Go look at it for yourself, okay?
She, in public testimony, said that she would like to work with them to promote their agenda in Texas public education.
So I don't know.
Number one, is the testimony even legal?
And then number two, you know, there's an active criminal investigation into care and what they're doing.
So does that criminal investigation expand to To the state board of education members who said that they want to work with the terrorist organization to help expand what they're wanting in Texas.
So, this is uncharted territory.
This is why I never in a million years, I think, had I have a state saying they want to work with the terrorist organization.
unidentified
Okay.
steve bannon
What is the process from here?
When do the votes take place?
Is it going to go over tomorrow?
And how do our audience participate or participate at least in finding out more information from you and having your guys back?
dr julie pickren
Yes, sir.
So, what we need is we need your audience to keep doing what they do.
We need to keep the pressure on because these are still amendments that we're voting on.
We'll probably be voting on amendments till midnight, 2 a.m. tonight again.
And then the final vote is tomorrow.
The final vote to approve the entire document or reject the entire document happens tomorrow.
But, you know, just some of the shenanigans we're still dealing with.
Thank you to your viewers who have been reaching out to members, Will Hickman and Pam Little, because again, Will Hickman today challenged an amendment that would enforce teaching America as the noblest experiment because he said his understanding of the noblest Experiment of America was the ban on alcohol was prohibition.
So he didn't support teaching the noblest experiment of America because he didn't.
You can't make this up.
It's so crazy, which, by the way, he's an attorney.
I hope he never practices constitutional law because I've never heard anyone say the noblest experiment of America, which is in our founding documents, was related to prohibition.
But, anyways, keep the pressure on, keep the pressure on these members, on the ones that we've already been talking about, because we need this final vote tomorrow.
And you're patriots.
The people that watch your show, the Patriots that love America and love Texas and watch your show, they have been amazing and a direct contributor to these great wins.
steve bannon
Julie, what's your social media and your website?
Where do people go?
We got it up, but I want you to repeat it for the people that listen to the show and don't watch on the podcast.
Where do people go, ma'am?
dr julie pickren
Okay, the best place to go is go to my Twitter feed, at Julie, J U L I E, the number four TX.
There's kind of some live armchair quarterbacking of Texas education going on there.
Go to my Twitter, follow what's happening there, and then go to my website, Julie Pickren, J U L I E Pickren, P I C K R E N, Julie Pickren.com.
steve bannon
Truly, thank you.
We'll let you go and get back in the fight.
dr julie pickren
Yes, I need to go vote.
I need to go deliver more wins to Texas.
steve bannon
Thank you, ma'am.
So you're sitting there saying, Bannon, I got it.
There's a huge problem in Texas, but your hair is on fire.
Nashville Schools Fight Back 00:06:59
steve bannon
But there's not a problem like that anywhere else in the country.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
steve bannon
So I'm going to take you to another great southern state, another railhead of the MAGA movement, and one of the greatest cities in these United States, and a city that's becoming really one of the The foundational elements of the conservative movement.
That would be Nashville, Tennessee, Michael Patrick Leahy.
So, Leahy, when I saw the article from our brothers and sisters over at Breitbart, my head blew up and I called you right away with a what in the hell is going on here, brother?
This education thing, because the Islamists are quite smart, they understand the quickest way for them to take over is to deep get into the school system and basically be part of the formation of a generation of Americans.
What is going on in Nashville, sir, on taxpayer dollars?
michael patrick leahy
Well, a Nashville public high school, Overton High School, has made special accommodations for Muslim students there to pray, to go to a separate dedicated prayer room during school hours in a special time set aside just for them in a prayer led by a Metro Nashville Public School employee.
The whole thing has been encouraged by the Metro Nashville Public School administrators.
And, Steve, it is almost certainly unconstitutional.
And now, what we're going to have to look at is Leahy, Leahy, Leahy, Leahy, hang on, hang on, hang on.
steve bannon
Before you get to the concept, the left in this country, in the secularists in this country, one of their proudest achievements is starting back in what the Earl Warren Court back in the 1950s.
They have driven Christianity, they are proud of it.
It's one of their biggest accomplishments.
They drove Christianity out of the public schools, right?
This was their number one priority.
Even the concept that you would have prayer or have some sort of devotional or have an employee do it.
Is so outside the box because these people, these demons, and they are demons, drove Christianity out.
And now at the same time, you see it in Texas, you see the thing because the Red Green Alliance, the Marxists understand they're going to use Islam to drive out Christianity, and then those two will fight it out afterwards.
And because so this is what's so outrageous.
This is a public school in Nashville that had Christianity driven out of it by these demons.
Now they're allowing Islam to come in.
And making it so not just Islamic students, they're trying to make it welcoming for all students to come in and be converted to Islam, sir.
michael patrick leahy
Yes, it is coercive and disruptive to the class, the way that they've structured it.
I mean, there are 80 kids out of 2,000, but they have special allowances to leave class for a 15 minute period, go to a dedicated Muslim prayer room where a Metro Nashville employee leaves their prayer.
All of these are unconstitutional.
If you go to, it's been unconstitutional for 60 years.
Engel v. Vitale, 1962.
The Supreme Court struck down a New York State teacher led prayer.
They said it was unconstitutional.
But that's happening here in Nashville.
The problem is going to be, Steve, I think, who will be the brave student who will be a plaintiff in this case and not be intimidated by the Metro Nashville Public Schools?
steve bannon
They're not going to be intimidated.
What are you talking about?
They're going to gang up on them.
They're going to gang up on the family.
They're in your face challenging you.
It's not the student, it's the parents, but it's also the officials.
Where are the officials?
Why do we even have to go to court about it?
Where are the people in Nashville?
Where are the elites in Nashville?
Where are the Christian churches in Nashville?
You know where they are?
They're cowering in a damn corner, too afraid to do it.
You can't have some student come up and sue it.
We shouldn't even be going to court.
Go in there and throw them out.
Get them the hell out of there.
Why do we have to go to court and play the game?
Let's go to court.
And then six years later, this is the problem.
That's the freaking mentality.
We're either going to drive this out of here or you're not.
And where are the elites in Nashville?
All the Christian music that Nashville produces, don't give me any more Christian music.
Go to that high school and drive out the demons.
michael patrick leahy
Metro Nashville is 6535 Democrat lunatic.
And the nine members of the Metro Nashville board are all lunatic Democrats.
This particular story came to front when a left wing millionaire funded news site called the Nashville Banner yesterday did a story praising all of these actions.
So you're not going to see the elite in Metro Nashville do this.
Perhaps there may be some.
Uh, conservative members of the Tennessee General Assembly who take action on it, but this is going to have to be litigated and it's going to take a couple years.
It is, in my estimation, yeah, it has to be litigated.
steve bannon
It doesn't have to be, they're not going to stop playing the game.
If you're not doing that, you're literally, you're going to play nine years from now, we're going to get to the Supreme Court.
And no, Michael, hang on for a second, we'll hold you through the break.
unidentified
We rejoice when there's no more.
Let's take down the CCP.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.

Tennessee has 95 counties, 93 are deep red, two are crazy blue.
And one of those crazy blue counties is Metro Nashville, Davidson County.
And it's going to be a fight there, Steve, a big fight.
steve bannon
I know, but we got to save those kids.
Those kids in that county are still the backbone of this country.
We got to save those kids.
We can't turn them over to these demons.
Can't do it.
Can't allow it, just like down in Texas.
This is a big fight.
Tennessee is one of the greatest states.
It's one of the greatest states in the Union.
It's one of the greatest states in the Confederacy.
A great state with great people.

Anyway, Leahy, we got to go.
I'm going to come back to you.

Don't let this law school thing mess your head up.
This is messing your head up.
Going to go litigate nine years from now.
Terry Schilling, at the center of this problem is the birth rate in this country.
You just had your eighth child, your eighth baby the other day, and something happened that triggered you to think about this and write some of these great pieces.
Tell me about what happened on this event of the birth of your child.
What was it that triggered you to think about this, sir?
terry schilling
Well, ironically, Steve, I was in the delivery room for the birth of my eighth child when I learned about the death of Paul Ehrlich.
For those that are unaware of Paul Ehrlich, he's the author of the book, The Population Bomb.
He predicted a bunch of terrible things mass famines, civil wars, chaos would reign if we didn't get our population growth under control.
None of his predictions came true, even though our population absolutely did explode.
We figured it out.
However, Steve, Almost all of his policies and his ideology took root across all of American and really global elite influencers.
He's actually, Paul Ehrlich is the inspiration for China's one child policy.
But he wanted to have a child tax.
He wanted parents to have to get a license before they were able to have children themselves.
He wanted to penalize marriage.
You look at the tax code, you look at our welfare system.
If you get married, Steve, You lose $30,000 in tax deductions and benefits in our economic system.
It's atrocious just for saying I do.
And Steve, the thing is, marriage is the best economic program, period, ever, period.
People, men need marriage.
Men, if they don't have marriage, they're uncivilized, they're dangerous.
Single men, unmarried men, they commit 95% of all violent crimes.
We gotta get these young men married, we've got to get the young women married.
If you're not married, You're kind of an incomplete person.
All right.
God is very clear in the Bible.
He creates woman because it's not good for man to be alone.
We all need each other.
And what we're seeing is the death of America, the death of the world.
All of Western society is dying out.
Our birth rates are well below replacement levels.
Marriage rates are through the floor.
The average age of a first time homebuyer in America is 49 years old.
It's pathetic, Steve.
We don't have an economy that works for families, we don't have a culture that works for families, and we have to turn this around now.
Because families are the bedrock of America.
It's not corporations, it's not steelworkers, it's not education, it's the family.
This is why we go to work because we need to support our families.
We have a spouse that we have to support.
It's that simple.
And if we don't start populating and getting married and having children again, we'll have a lower tax base, we'll have fewer people to provide for, there'll be fewer jobs.
You know, countries that go through the type of depopulation that America's about to enter into, their top industries shift from construction and building.
To deconstruction and demolition.
Germany's gone through this.
Italy's going through this.
We can't do it, Steve.
steve bannon
Where do people go?
American Principles Project, you've built everything there around the American family.
You're saying the economics of this country has got to be based upon the American family.
Where do they go to get this piece?
Where do they follow you?
Your Twitter, you're now, you guys are really on fire about the artificial intelligence, which we're going to cover tomorrow morning, all of it.
But I want people to get acquainted with American Principles Project and how you've put the natalist movement and families at the center of your cause, sir.
terry schilling
Well, Steve, now that you guys at War Room have been so successful in helping us stop.
The transgender industrial complex from sterilizing the next generation.
We've got to figure out how to rejigger and revive the American family.
So go to Shilling1776 across all social media platforms.
I have a new piece that'll be coming out either tonight or tomorrow that talks about how Americans still think that we are suffering from overpopulation 47% to only 41% who think we have an underpopulation problem.
So check us out, Shilling1776 across all social media platforms.
steve bannon
Okay, I think they'll be on the Daily Wire and we'll push it out as soon as it's published.
And Terry, we still got a lot more work to do on transgender and the radical transgender ideology, but you guys have done such a magnificent job.
unidentified
Thank you.
steve bannon
And we got to get focused on this.
Have to get focused on this.
And congratulations on the eighth baby.
And Paul Ehrlich was dead wrong.
