Stephen K. Bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. You're just not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people, the people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. 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.

Raheem Kassam
Welcome back to the War Room, our Boxing Day special. It is Thursday the 26th of December, the year of our Lord 2024. My name is Raheem Kassam. I'm one of the original co founders of the War Room with Stephen K. Bannon alongside Jason Miller. Feels like, feels like just yesterday. Although it was probably what I think maybe four, five, six, six years in the making. All of that, absolutely extraordinary. You know, I've worked with Steve for, gosh, 11, nearly 12 years now, starting off at Breitbart's London bureau where I brought a couple of, I brought a couple of the guys over from the old Breitbart London bureau to the National Pulse. And you're gonna meet them in this hour. Jack Montgomery and Chris Tomlinson were over there with me, you know, really at the coal face of, of Brexit and everything that we did there. And you look to today of what's going on over in Europe, what's going on in the United Kingdom, and it's everything that we were doing when we were young, when we were in our 20s, laying the groundwork for this stuff. It's all coming to fruition now. And here's the funny thing about it. I sit in front of this microphone, how often? Maybe once a year anymore. And I'm an hour into this show and I'm already got the jitters, blood energy levels spiking. I got my adrenaline going. And you just think, Steve does this every single day for four hours a day. It's an absolutely ginormous lift. I want you all to understand that, because when he's not doing, and he won't tell you any of this himself, but when he's not doing this all day long, it's phone calls and meetings and understanding exactly what's going on and Getting the historical context, I mean, it's just about probably the second busiest job, the second hardest job that you can have in politics in America. And number one is being the President of the United States. Not if you're Joe Biden, of course, because you're not really the President of the United States, but this audience, the impact that you guys have, the way that you can change the minds of people just by lighting up their phones or going on the apps and hitting them up, it's absolutely insane to me. You know, we never thought on day one, we never thought, but this is how this goes, right? It's how it always goes. I think the original CPAC meeting back in the 60s or whenever it was, was about eight people, you know, around a dining room table just saying, what are we gonna do? And when we started this show, you know, it was, it was, it was Steve, Jason and myself sitting, sitting in a basement with a couple of microphones and I had kind of jerry rigged all of this equipment over the walls to dampen the sound. You know, I was just taping it up there to try and, to try and have a little air of professionalism about the production level of the podcast. And of course, Dan Fluitt, the original, first, original producer here who's done this I'm just. Amazing book, by the way, if you don't have it yet, I got one here up in front of me. Rebels, Rogues and Outlaws. Right? It's just an amazing piece of work. Dan would, Dan would never forgive me if I didn't tell you just how much, how much I enjoyed this. And I especially enjoy it because Dan pays hyper close attention to the things that really matter. And one of the things that really mattered was who. Who's number one in the book? That Stephen K. Bannon. Who's number two in the book, ladies and gentlemen. Okay, Just remember that. Just remember that. No, my favorite, my favorite part of this is not the picture of me. Although many people would assume that it's the quote that Dan pulled out here because you didn't, you know, we didn't have anybody who's pictured in this book, didn't have anything to do with what, you know, what he attributed to you. And he says at the beginning of this, he says, quote, I am not arguing with you, I am telling you. And you know, I'm not saying that that is my approach to the world, but that is my approach to the world. And it starts with. And you've got to get this book, ladies and gentlemen. It starts with. Rahim once told Me, if I'm not in an argument with someone, I'll start one just because I'm bored. Yeah, there is a lot of truth to that. And our next guest on the show will probably have a few things to say about that as well. He's lived through some of that. When Raheem has that, I think my staff prefer it when I'm busy, when I'm on the road, when I'm giving speeches, when I'm out there doing the thing, because I don't get to scream and shout at the whole day like I do usually. But Jack Montgomery, my deputy editor over at the National Pulse, let's bring him into the conversation here. Jack, I'm jumping around a lot because there's so much to cram into this, but I want to say I hope you had a very happy Christmas. Welcome to this Boxing Day special. I'll get your thoughts on that for a start, Actually, how about that as the quote in there? I am not arguing with you. I am telling you. Is that not just perfect, Jack?
- [06:16]
Jack Montgomery
Yeah, I would say so. I would say that sums up the Raheem philosophy pretty well.
- [06:24]
Raheem Kassam
It's not bad. It's not bad. Dan just did an excellent job at this book. I actually ended up buying a bunch of them, giveaways, gifts. I've signed a bunch of them, we've given them away, and we've sold a bunch to National Pulse members and subscribers, signed by Steve, myself and Dan Fluitt as well. Because, and I'm not pitching them here, by the way, I don't even have any left because it's a little part of history. It's a little moment of history. And so many of you out there, ladies and gentlemen, come up to us and, you know, I'm flabbergasted by it, by the way. I don't know why the heck you'd want my autograph, but so many of you have me. And we've got some of the great images from the book up on there. There's Nigel as well, who's posed for it. Just some amazing, amazing images that Dan Fluitt took over the course of years and years of building out this show and building out this operation. So, you know, I want the audience to understand just how hard working everyone is in this environment. And a special shout out to the production at the real America's Voice and to Jack and to Cameron and to the Sigs, Rob and Parker and all of those guys. It's just. It's just an amazing thing to be a part of. I do tend to get a little sappy and nostalgic and all that over the holidays, over the Christmas break especially, Jack. But I always turn to you to talk me through the Christmas period. You are kind of a savant when it comes to these things. You've written about them so many times. So let's start with it all. You know, what is Yuletide? What is the Christmas period? How does it work? Because it feels like today, you know, we really just have kind of the build up, the commercial buildup to Christmas, all the adverts on television, all the music and the Mariah Carey's playing in the stores. And then after Christmas happens, everybody just kind of forgets about it, moves on to their new year plans. But it doesn't. And it shouldn't stop there. In fact, Jack, it starts there. Right?
- [08:24]
Jack Montgomery
Well, you're quite right. You're quite right. Advent, the season leading up to Christmas, you know, originally was a period for fasting. You know, Christians were supposed to take it very seriously and, you know, almost approach it in a slightly dour way before the great celebration of the Nativity. But you know, as people who are familiar with the poem will know, it was not only one day. Christmas Day is not just December 25th. There are 12 days of Christmas. And you know, if any of your audience over there are Anglos, you know, people of English descent, the first North American colonists, it was Alfred the Great, the first king of England, a unified England. The Anglo Saxons said that the 12 Days of Christmas should be, you know, a long extended holiday. Not just the one day, not just one celebration, but 12 days for reflection, for celebration on the faith and for family and for all of that. Now, as you say, Rahim, we're at a bit of a stage where people are rushing almost straight away back into the secular world. On December 26, we call it Boxing Day in Britain. That's a tradition going back at least probably to the 1600s. It's St. Stephen's Day. The feast of St. Stephen is the older and even deeper holiday associated with the 26th. But that was now it's been sort of displaced by these Boxing Day sales, these post Christmas sales. Right back into the shops, right back into, you know, the commercial, the secular grind. That's not how it should be, you know. And Boxing Day traditionally is the giving day. Now, we're not sure exactly where the name comes from. It may come from the practice of collecting alms from church poor boxes to give to the needy. It may come from the tradition of giving out Christmas boxes to tradesmen and people who would work in domestic service back in the day. Partly it would be a thank you or reward for their hard work through the year. Partly it would be because many of them would have to work on Christmas Day, particularly if they were working for one of these great estates, these big families that had butlers and maid servants and what have you. But it's something that we can continue to practice today. It's a tradition that we can still draw on. Christmas Day is a day not only for giving really, but for receiving, especially if maybe you're a child, if you're younger. Boxing Day is a day that's all about giving. You know, it's about considering. It's about being grateful for what you have and thinking about what you can give to others. Now if you're in a position to do it, it's a holiday Mike mark by doing the stereotypical evenings volunteering at the soup kitchen. But it can be something more low key. You know, you can, if you have children, you can sit them around and you can say lets make a small donation to a particular charity or cause, show them a few, let them pick one out that they like and if they're mature enough for it, you can even give them the story of St. Stephen. Now of course, you know, in America, the religious roots of America are largely dissident Protestant, so there's a certain weariness when it comes to saints. But St Stephen is a saint with really an impeccable pedigree. He's from the Bible, the New Testament, the Book of Acts. He's considered to be really the proto martyr, the first martyr killed we think around the year A.D. 36, you know, like within just a couple of years of the crucifixion of Christ. And he was dragged before the same religious council in Jerusalem as Christ accused of blasphemy for preaching the gospel as it then was. And he stood firm, he said he stood firm against those authorities. He stood by his beliefs and he was dragged out of the temple, out of the city, was stoned to death. And in his dying moments, like Jesus on the cross, he said essentially forgive them, do not forgive them for this sin, do not charge them with it, Lord. So it's a time to really reflect on that sacrifice, that spirit of giving, that spirit of thinking for others, putting others first. One of the most famous witnesses, the most famous witness to the death of St Stephen was a man named Saul, who of course would go on to become St. Paul, one of the greatest of the apostles. And it really shows you from that early beginning, that small story, that small act of self sacrifice in the book of acts. We got so much of the Christian faith as we have it today.

Raheem Kassam
Yeah, yeah, it's, it's, it's incredible. Jack and I, you know, I really commend to everybody your, your write ups of this. You know, we push them out, we push them out every year this time of year and every day a different one to go through and reflect on. Jack, I want you to hang over the break because we've got lots more to talk about, more to talk about in terms of the, all the days of Christmas. And I also want to talk to the audience a little bit about something I do every year which is dry January. This will be I think my 11th year doing it. A lot of you are way better than me already and you abstain from the horrific practice of. But listen, I Live in Washington D.C. okay, I need, I need a, I need a little martini at the end of my day. Those of you who know me well know I have the tolerance for it. So don't worry, I'm not, I'm not stumbling around all over the place up there on in your nation's capital. But dry January and I've done that now, Nigel got me interested in it, you know, a decade ago and he doesn't do it anymore by the way. So we might have to, we have to push him a little bit in that direction. He's got a sober couple of years ahead of him I think, although he'll disagree with that. But you know, it really is, it really is important to understand these things. Jack does an amazing job putting them together. Make sure you follow him on social media as well. We'll make sure that he gives out all of his, his coordinates. But he's Jack B. Montgomery on X. So make sure you're following Jack B. Montgomery on X. And of course Will Upton there as well. That's W. Upton Wapten on X at the National Pulse at the Nat Pulse on X I should say. And of course make sure you're following all of the war room accounts across Telegram and across the board. Warham.org is the website. We'll be right back after this break.

Raheem Kassam
Welcome back to my favorite day of the year, Boxing Day because it means lots of leftover sandwiches, turkey sandwiches. I love it. All of the suddenly you get to eat all the mince pies that are left over because hey, you got to get through them. You can't leave mince pies for the audience that doesn't know what mince pie is. I it's the real reason I have to do dry January to shed some pounds over the course of, over the course of January because I just consume my weight in, in those datey goodness pies. It's a very English thing. They're not, they're not meat pies, they're not beef pies if that's what you're thinking. Al Although there is some history behind it that says that that's how they originally started. But it's mincemeat as in like dates and sultanas and all of that. And I eat just a metric ton of them over the Christmas period. So I know in January I gotta start hitting my 5Ks again and that is no fun in the, in the 12° January D.C. weather, believe me. But it does whip you back into shape very quickly. And do we ever have a reason to be in shape for this coming year? You know, everybody has to be shoulder to the wheel, eyes on target, locked in as President Trump retakes the Oval Office. Because I actually think that as much as the left down tools were totally shocked and surprised by everything that went on on November 5th and ensuing that I also do think they're gonna come back with a vengeance. I think they're going to be extreme, way more nasty than ever before. They're like a cornered, a wounded animal now here. And you know, you have to also remember there are hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars that rely you Know, lobbyists, lawyers, armies of these people, the bribes that they hand out on Capitol Hill, all of this stuff that are, you know, and it's the defense industry, it's the pharmaceutical lobby, it's all of this stuff. And it's all going, if you thought 16 through the pandemic and all of that was hard and a stitch up on many occasions, actually just set to wreck the presidency, set to wreck the country, then I think you need to be prepared for double, triple, quadruple, that level of effort this time around. You know, we have now we've got, you know, RFK going in there. You know, we've got Cash Patel going in there. This isn't, this isn't like it was before. You know, we had Bill Barr and, you know, a couple of the, you know, he had Rex Tillerson. No, this is, this is smash mouth. This is. If you didn't like 2016 and you didn't let us do it in 2020, you really ain't gonna like what's coming next. But in the meantime, as we build up to January and we build up to January 6th and we build up to January 20th, and I know I'm going to see so many of you in Washington, D.C. i know so many of you coming in for the inauguration, we do have to reflect. We have more to reflect on with Jack Montgomery about the Advent period, about the 12 days of Christmas, and it's so very important in preparing us for the next year. So I want to bring Jack back into the conversation. Jack, I know there's a lot to cover, and I know maybe we don't get to go into detail on every single one of these days and every single one of these feasts and what exactly they mean, but that's not the end of the world, because I want people to go to the national polls and read your writing on this and internalize it. Jack keeps it brief. He keeps it pithy. But, Jack, tell us about more of these important days, more of these more important occasions, commemorations, celebrations and reverence that we give out over the next couple of days.
- [20:22]
Jack Montgomery
Well, we mentioned before the break, boxing day, the 26th. Now, that's a day for giving. It's a day for reflecting on the sacrifice of St Stephen. The third day of Christmas is a bit of a different story. You know, that's the feast of St. John, the disciple whom Jesus loves. You know, it's the St. John of the Gospel according to St. John. It's the John of the book of Revelation. And he really alone among Christ's 12 apostles did not die a martyr's death. He lived a long life. He died, we believe, in his early 90s on the Isle of Patmos in what is now Greece. And on the feast of St. John, we can have a little bit more fun. You know, that's a little bit more one for us. Again, it's traditionally celebrated, traditionally with a beautiful mulled wine spiced with cinnamon cloves, you know, orange peels, that type of thing served in often if, you know, if you're from a more English, British type background, it'll be served in a wassail bowl. You might, you know, older viewers might have seen Bing Crosby doing a duet with where he sings the Twelve Days of Christmas, or one of these traditional carols where they talk about the wassail bull. And, you know, so that can be great fun. That's something. After you've had time to decompress and reflect on December 26, on Boxing Day, you can get back into a little bit, a bit more into the festive season spirit, bit more into the partying. With the feast of St. John, it comes. You know, it's the reason we have a drink like that is because St. John was poisoned according to tradition, but he miraculously survived. And then the day after that, we then roll immediately into another darker day. Now, this is Childer Mass. It's often called the Feast of the Holy Innocents that commemorates the massacre of the innocents, the little children in Bethlehem by Herod the Great, who feared the coming of the newborn king, you know, someone who would replace him as the king of the Jews. But the traditions, again, associated with children are really very cheerful. You know, it used to be in England and some other countries that the bishop who would preside over the Christian services and so on would be replaced for a day by a boy bishop. You know, they would take. It would be literally like a little small boy would take over and perform that function. It was sort of this great reversal of the sort of natural order in the family. And it's something that you can continue to honor today by, for example, you know, asking the children, if you have children, you know, to decide what the day's entertainment will be, what you'll have to eat that day. You know, something that's like a little bit of fun, you know, coming out of a story that's really quite dark. You know, we won't cover every day individually because they don't all have a very strong tradition associated with them, or the tradition might be a little bit more obscure. That's something to go to the written articles for, like carrying on. December 30th this year is the feast of the Holy Family. Again, that's another strongly family focused day. Remembering when you're supposed to model, really, as a mother and a father, you're supposed to model the Virgin Mary.
- [23:38]
Raheem Kassam
Let me jump in there real quick because you said December 30th is the feast of the family. I want people to basically be making notes of this right now, putting it in your calendar, writing it down, making sure that you're not just following this ladies and gentlemen, but. But observing, right? Like, go and do your reading on this. Understand what it means. Read Jack's pieces. Jack. Yeah. So it's the feast of the family on the 30th, right?
- [24:01]
Jack Montgomery
That's right, yes. Now, some of these dates, and I hope I've got them all exactly correct, some of these dates can move around a little bit, as is often the case in the Christian calendar. You know, as much as Easter is a movable feast, some of these feasts can be moved around. If on a given year there's another holiday coming in that takes precedence. I believe this year, the 30th is the feast of the Holy Family. You know, as I was saying, a day when, you know, mothers should really try to model Mary, the mother of God, the Virgin Mary, however you prefer to think of her, St. Joseph, the foster father of Jesus. It's a day for children as well, to sort of, you know, to remember and appreciate their parents. You have. After that, January 1st this year will be the solemnity of Mary. Now, that's a day really to focus on St. Mary, the Virgin Mary and her particular role in the incarnation of Jesus. You know, being chosen by God, by the Archangel Gabriel to bear the Savior. You know, it's a day that takes us back because we're getting quite distant from it now to the 25th Nativity, to what it's all about. January 2nd and January 3rd. You know, we move on to. These are. Now, these are very interesting days, but they are ones that I'll ask you to read the articles for. You know, they're quite complicated. The Second, we commemorate St. Basil and another of the. St. Basil and saint. Oh, God, it's gone from my head. St. Gregory, St. Basil and St. Gregory.
- [25:36]
Raheem Kassam
That's all right.
- [25:37]
Jack Montgomery
It's a lot.
- [25:38]
Raheem Kassam
It's a lot.
- [25:40]
Jack Montgomery
And they are two of the. Yes, indeed, indeed. Two of the three holy hierarchs. Now, these are really important figures in church history, in the history of the faith. You know, they fought back against the idea that was gaining traction in their time well over a thousand years ago, before not only the Protestant Reformation, but before the Catholic and the Orthodox churches split. And there was a debate in their time around whether or not Jesus was God, he was man and God, or whether he was just a creature, a creation. And, you know, it's from them that a lot of our modern understanding of the Trinity comes. And that's something, you know, if you are a Christian or if you are really just a Westerner who appreciates the significance of the Christian faith to our deep traditions, to our civilization, to our history, it's something that you should be at least passingly familiar with, you know. And then after that, we have the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus, you know, that's another one. There's some scripture to get into there that's better for the written articles. And then on the 4th, we have another very interesting day. If you're a Catholic, this is one where we commemorate the first American saint, Saint Anne Seton. You can also commemorate a much older saint, very interesting sort of esoteric character. He was the first of the stylites. Now, these were saints that would fast and pray, you know, all day long. And they would do it not in caves like the desert fathers, not in monasteries like monks that you see today, but actually on top of these exposed pillars, these old often places like Greece and Syria, where there were these old broken classical temples, they would sit on top of these broken pillars, exposed to the winds and the elements all day long, being blasted by the sands, the heat by the cold. And people would come from all around to ask them for their advice on Jack.

Raheem Kassam
Not only if people want more information, they're going to have to check out the pieces up on the National Pulse. Jack, we've got to leave it there. So much information. It's amazing, ladies and gentlemen, to have all of that information to his fingertips, you know, while you're also running the news, doing all the news all day long, Jack, where can people follow you very quick?
- [28:00]
Jack Montgomery
Yeah, it's a little bit overload. I'm sorry there, guys. And if you want to follow me, you can catch me on X at Jack B. Montgomery. That's ery.
- [28:08]
Raheem Kassam
All right, we'll be right back after the break. Cheers.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band Foreign welcome back to the War Room on Boxing day. That is the 26th of December, the Euro year of our Lord 2024, the year. I mean, in a lot of ways, the year went very quickly. I mean, we all obviously had a lot to deal with, none more so than President Donald J. Trump himself. From all of the lawfare to the attempted assassinations and beyond, you know, running a campaign like that is no small feat. You know, running an operation like that, picking the right people, flying everywhere all the time. And so, you know, I really do want to spend a moment with you guys today, just reflecting on that, praying for the next, for the incoming president, for the incoming administration, and reflecting also on the hardship that so many people have faced over the last four years as a result of that illegitimate election in 2020, and as a result of that illegitimate regime that came to power under the dark of night with the Capitol walled off and fenced off. I lived through it. You'll remember, some of you. I did little walkthroughs. I think it was either on my telegram account or it was on Twitter back in the day of actually what it was like to live in the Occupy capital. I had National Guard troops stationed right outside my front door of my house on Capitol Hill. And of course, all of the people whose lives were absolutely ruined, absolutely ruined as a result of that legitimate regime, as a result of the phony January 6th committee for the people who have been in that DC gulag, for the people who have been bankrupted, for the people who have lost members of their family, for those people who have even lost and taken their own lives as a result of that level of persecution. Because, listen, it isn't necessarily that you can just throw these things onto any person's shoulders and expect them to bear the weight of it. And I know it's a particularly heavy topic for the day after Christmas Day, but I want to prep you. I need to get you ready, because a lot of people come up to me at these events at amfest, the galas, at the speeches I give around the country. And by the way, if you're members of the National Pulse, you actually get a direct line to me. We have a Discord chat channel. We have a members only comment section on the site, and there is a special email address that exists just for members to reach out to me so you can join up@the nationalpulse.com war room. And there's a whole host of other benefits you get, by the way, completely ad free experience on the site. I do a member's email almost every weeknight telling people what's going on, how, you know, what are you going to. What can you expect next? Really what we're doing is we're, we're an industry Intelligence magazine, right? You've seen these strat fours of the world. They do it for geopolitics. You see all these, you know about industry magazines, right? For everything there is out there. We are a maga industry news website. If we tell you something is on the agenda, if we tell you something is on the radar, is not just because I've got the, you know, the bit between my teeth on it. It's because these are the things that matter and these are the things that are coming down the pipeline. Listen, I get it. If you can't afford it, I totally get it. It's been a tough four years for a lot of people. But if you can afford $1.73 a week to support this organization, to support what we're doing, and to get the inside scoop on a lot of things for yourself, it's thenationalpulse.com war room and I'm so grateful. You know, we've had members who have been stuck with us since day one who just said, yes, I believe in these people. I believe in their operation and how we, you know, come back, coming back to my point, how we g people up, how we get people ready for the fight in the new year and everything you need to know, I will coach you up. Don't worry about that part of it. Worry about being part of it. Worry about getting in the war room every single day, right? And getting the marching orders and worry about getting the information from. People often say we did things, some of the things ten years in advance. We were talking about Ukraine. I was there in Kiev in the Medan square, telling people, hey, you have an eu, an expansionist eu, a NATO problem right here that is going to cause a hot war that is going to lead to people's lives being lost. And at the time I was saying it, there was only one other person saying it at the same time, my old friend Nigel Farage. He was saying it in the European parliament. He was saying it to anybody who would listen. Uncle Tom Cobley and all, as we say, Tom, Dick and Harry, you know, you name it. He would go up there and he would tell people what's going on, how to deal with it, how we need to get out of that situation. Otherwise, blood, right? Blood on the hands of the western establishment, blood on the hands of the apparatchiks, blood on the hands of the regime. But the regime doesn't care about blood on its hands. It's using your money and it's using the moral impetus of being put there by you. Democracy Even in a republic, requires the loser's consent. And I am totally okay with saying, actually, if the machine is too corrupt, if the people are too demonic, who work in these agencies, who work in these bureaus, then I'm okay with saying, actually, we revoke consent of the governed. And I know there's a lot of people out there. Oh, you know, you're talking about revolution. You're talking about. No, what I'm talking about is that we say with all our fervor, on a day to day basis, not in our names. And we have to do. If we have to do that every single day, and we have to find a new mechanism by which to do that every single day. And it might come in the form of playing whack a mole with the latest speaker of the House. Or it might come in the shape of trying to get that money, trying to overturn Citizens United, get that big corporate money out of your politics. It might come in the shape of supporting the media organizations you like or supporting the candidates that you like. There's lots of different ways you can do this. You might not have a penny to your name. You can still knock on a door or two. You might not have the ability to go out there and listen. Neither do I. You know, we're not Elon Musk's here to bankroll entire organizations to get this stuff done. But, hey, every little helps. Every single little bit that you can do helps. I say this to people all the time. Oh, Raheem, can you take a selfie? Oh, Raheem, can you sign this? And obviously, I'm never going to say no to anyone, but, you know, the question I like to ask is, are you a member? Are you a supporter of the national policy? Have you taken a stake in our work? Because we need you to. Because the reason that the people get corrupted, the reason that these freaks and phonies on Capitol Hill get corrupted is because somebody comes and waves a big check in front of them. It's simples. Oh, hey, we'll give you quarter of a million dollars to say this or to put out a paper on that. We're gonna put five mil into a fund. You start your own think tank. You hire your own people. We just need you to take this line on this foreign conflict or on this issue with China and TikTok and all of this stuff. How do you think it happens? It is an extremely lucrative industry for the people who are there to extract the cash. It's not such a lucrative industry for the people who are up there. Fighting the regime on a day to day basis. They try and bankrupt us, they come after everything we have that we've built. You know, they took us off, they took us off YouTube, they took off. We were suspended. The National Pulse was suspended from X for three years for daring to show the receipts about the 2020 election being stolen. This wasn't machine stuff. This wasn't running gun battles in Rome or whatever was going on at the time. It was going through the data with a bunch of data scientists and going that, you know what, this doesn't actually work. We all know now that was the case. But, you know, they come after our livelihoods, they come after us on a day to day basis. And it's going on all over the world right now. Debanking, you know, what's going on in Europe with Nigel Farage losing access to your own bank accounts because the regime deems you too much of a risk to the status quo to allow you to put money in a bank as if it's some kind of endorsement of your politics from the bank. Let's bring Chris Tomlinson in here. He covers a lot of the Europe stuff for us as well. Chris, you know, from Germany to France, the United Kingdom and, you know, I know you focus on well beyond. It looks like an absolute mess out there. We got four minutes this side, we got eight minutes on the other side of the break. Run us through what's going on in Europe right now.

Chris Tomlinson
Well, first, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas, Rahim, and to everybody out there as well. The situation in Europe for the past year has been one of the most interesting, I suppose, in the last couple of years, just because of what a mess it's been, especially in places like Germany and France. But really everything kind of began in the lead up to the European elections, which were earlier this year in the spring. And during that time you had a rise in populist parties across all of Europe, to the extent where many of them in France, Germany and places like that either won or came second or third, which is huge compared to, if you look at the results of populist parties in European elections prior to that. But the big thing that happened, especially in France, was that it led to President Macron calling a snap election, which he didn't need to do, but he felt that he had to do, I suppose, because the rise of the populist Party, Marine Le Pen's national rally, it was getting so big that I believe that he thought the next presidential election was going to be in the bag for Marine Le Pen, if he allowed it to continue. So the idea being that Marine Le Pen could be sort of knocked down a peg or two and her party could be knocked down a peg or two. But what happened was, despite the fact that the entire establishment ganged up against her party, her party was still the single largest party in that election. It didn't win because there were leftists, probably about six parties or so, who all got together on the same platform in order to get first, and then Macron's centrists got second. But these were alliances of parties rather than a single party. And that from there went to weeks upon weeks of not having a government, partially because of the Summer Olympics. But after that, Macron did eventually assign a Prime minister, which was our old Brexit chum, Michel Barnier. I say that very sarcastically. And what happened with him is he couldn't pass a budget because not only did he alienate the left, but he alienated Marine Le Pen as well. And so all of them decided he had to go. And so now Macron is on his third prime minister this year, and it's. It's very tenuous whether this prime minister is going to survive another three months either. So the entire situation in France is a mess. Then we move on to Germany, which is perhaps even more.

Raheem Kassam
Chris, hang on. Before. Before you move there, hang on, because we got to go to a quick break in just a second. But, yeah, I mean, look, the situation in France, totally a mess, but obviously a massive opportunity, right? And. And, you know, all. All our getting moral support goes out to the people fighting that Macron regime over there, because it's just been about the worst case scenario for the French public that you can get, and you're now starting to see them fighting back and realize what's going on. Same thing in the United Kingdom, where Nigel Farage is now polling above the Labour Party, who, by the way, just won an election. Just won an election. And immediately, as a result of that, and they come in and they raise taxes and they're doing all this woke stuff and giving British territories overseas away. And the public have just had a skin full of it. There's so much more to discuss. I tell the staff, tell all the guests, you know, I develop bannonitis whenever I'm behind this microphone. Can't let go of it. Got to get my rents across. I know it's Boxing Day, but this is not a year to take. Take our foot off the accelerator. Want everybody out there to amplify this. Go on, follow the war rooms Rumble channels. Make sure other people do to take a moment out of today to share all of this content with other people. Leave comments. All of that helps the algorithm boost it to more people. Okay? Every little thing that you do, stick around, do that in the break. Stick around. We'll be right back with Chris Tomlinson.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. Okay. As we enter the new year, ladies and gentlemen, there's going to be no end of hoaxes. Every single day will be a new hoax. Every single week will be some new narrative. You know, we've seen it happen with Matt Gaetz. We see it happen all the time. This is my call to you, okay? This is as much as I can tell you. To do anything, right, you have to stay focused. Don't allow yourselves to become disenfranchised, bought out, affected, tired. Believe me, there's nobody who wants to succumb to that more than me. Sitting on Capitol Hill sometimes and thinking, oh my goodness, what are we doing here? But then you remember the hard fought victories and everybody on that team, President Donald Trump, everybody, You see it. And I just mean the team at Mar a Lago, the central campaign team. I mean every single one of you out there who made that change happen from the very smallest thing you did, which is of course, go out and cast your vote. The very bare minimum that you should be doing as a citizen to take your country back to the people who made phone calls, who knocked on doors, who donated, who got part of everything. All of you, all of you had everything to do with that victory. And we have to continue that. We have to keep that pressure up. Let's go back to Chris Tomlinson. Chris, France, a huge mess. A huge, huge, huge opportunity for the populist nationalist right. What is going on in Germany? I mean, after Angela Merkel, I thought, wow, this couldn't get much worse. It appears to have.
- [44:04]
Chris Tomlinson
Absolutely has. And Angela Merkel is the one who set the stage for it. Whether it's, we're talking about the migration crisis in 2015 where she let over a million people into the country illegally, or whether we're talking about her reliance on Russian gas and oil, which now has obviously caused an economic crisis within the country. But the current government, which just fell just in the past two weeks or so, was just completely inept. It was run by the Socialist Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the Green Party and the supposedly pro business Free Democrats. And they've run the country into the ground. They've run the country into the ground industrially, where you have Companies like Volkswagen saying that they're going to shut down production plants in Germany for the very first time in history. You have energy prices which have skyrocketed in the last, well, since the sanctions against Russia, basically because they were so invested in Russian energy supplies that now they're really struggling to make everything affordable, which has a knock on effect for both industry and consumers. But the biggest thing in, during this year has been the terrorist acts that have gone in. In Germany. We've seen mass stabbing attacks in places like Solingen where multiple people were killed by a Syrian asylum seeker. We saw the latest one, the Magda Berg attack, which was basically a recreation of the 2016 Berlin terrorist attack. It actually only occurred one day after the anniversary of that attack, which killed a dozen people. And the figures, the latest figures that I've seen for the Magdeburg attack showed that was at least five people are dead and around 200 people were injured when the Saudi national who was working as a doctor, just decided, apparently randomly to drive his BMW through this packed Christmas market. We've gotten all sorts of different claims from the media, whether he was anti Islam, he was supposedly pro afd, but he was also a leftist, and all these other things on top of that. But the real problem is that one, he was let in the country by the German government back in 2006. But the other issue is that they prevented him from being deported to Saudi Arabia where he was wanted on, I believe, sexual abuse, rape charges. And so the German government kept him in the country, which is what they've done for all of these, either asylum seekers, migrants or whoever who carried out these terror attacks year after year in Germany. And so the government fell, thankfully, and we're going to see elections in February. This is a massive chance for the populist alternative for Germany, the ifd, to really make a.

Raheem Kassam
I think we may, we may have a little technical issue with Chris there. We're trying, we try and connect back with him, but we were running up against the clock here anyway, ladies and gentlemen, towards the end of the show. But Chris is absolutely right. I mean, just like the opportunities in France, the opportunities in Germany are just. I met a couple of, couple of AFD people, IFDF people who came to the gala in New York. You know, I meet them all over the place now. You ever come across a German nowadays, they end up going, oh, we're actually big AFD supporters. You don't need to whisper it anymore. You know, we don't whisper our Trump support anymore. We don't whisper our Brexit support. And then the final piece of that puzzle, obviously, is my home country, the United Kingdom, where Nigel Farage is running this new Reform Party that is absolutely romping it in the polls at the moment. I think we have Chris back. Chris, we've got about a minute left here. Just conclude that point about Germany and give people your social media handle 60second.
- [47:58]
Chris Tomlinson
The massive thing in Germany is going to be a huge opportunity for the ifda, but unfortunately, the major parties are just unlikely to work with them. And so people really have to get out on the streets. They have to form protest movements and all sorts of different political activism in order to really pressure these parties to start working with populists. And that's where we're going to see a real way forward. Stuff like the farmers protests have a much bigger impact on the way that the other parties govern than just going to the ballot box. And so you can find me on social media. My primary is X and it is Tomlinson. My last name, cj. That's how you can reach me.

Raheem Kassam
Tomlinson. CJ is the handle. Chris, I hope you had a very happy Christmas. I'm sure we'll be seeing more of you in the new year as well.

Instagram is my platform of choice for now for that kind of thing. I know not everybody's on that, obviously, but it gives you a little bit more aesthetic and a little bit more visual to it. X. Of course. Raheemkassam. Need you, need you to follow Henat Pulse at the Nat Pulse and join up at the National Pulse.com forward slash war room. It's not a joke. It's not, you know, I'm not kidding. If people do not support it, if people can't put their shoulders to the wheel, these sites disappear. There's so many great ones out there. Citizen, Free Press, Revolver News. Like, we're all in the same boat here. Support us. Make sure you're supporting the War Room. Showing this, sending it to everybody you could possibly send it to today. Have a happy Boxing Day.
