And no preemption.

Steve Bannon (6:15)

That is a non starter. I would encourage all of your viewers to call their congressperson tomorrow morning, ask them to support a strong COSA and stand against preemption. This is not about speech, it's not about deplatforming. This is about power politics and what Charlie Kirk believed in to the core of his being, that America makes decisions for America and Americans make decisions for America. That was Charlie Kirk. That's why the hell, why the hell do you think they assassinated him? Why? Why they put the poison all over this place? Why they mock and ridicule. James Carville said yesterday that Rob Reiner has done 100 times more than Charlie Kirk. They hate Charlie Kirk because Charlie Kirk brought victories. And with victory after victory after victory, that's when we can rechristianize this country. What was Charlie Kirk's lesson? That we are a Christian nation that got off the rails. We have to re Christianize this country. You are in the shadows of a giant, not just an American patriot and an American hero. Charlie Kirk is a Christian martyr and Charlie Kirk is a Christian saint. That is your legacy that you take up. The day I went into prison, the day I went to prison, we passed the show to Charlie Kirk as we did oftentimes in the three and a half years that Charlie Posobec and I had that block at Real America's Voice. And what Charlie said, I said to Charlie, next man up. Charlie said, I got it. Next man up. Are you next man up? Are you going to fill the shoes of Charlie Kirk? Do you have the stones to do it? Do you have the guts to do it? Ask yourself that. Because I'll tell you what, that's what you in this room right here are going to decide whether we win in 26. And if we don't win in 26, they're going to bring holy hell down on us. We have to win. Charlie Kirk knew that, and you know that. Thank you very much. Next man up. Should all the quaint.

Dave Brat (9:12)

Take a cup of kindness yet.

Steve Bannon (9:39)

Of kindness yet for. Is yet for all night.

Dave Brat (11:04)

And let's will drop for all night.

Steve Bannon (12:23)

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Christians. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people 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. And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

Dave Brat (12:48)

MAGA media I wish in my soul.

Steve Bannon (12:51)

I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War room here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. It's Wednesday, the 31st of December in the year of our Lord 2025. And of course, that is the last time we'll be saying that. The 2025. This is the last day of the year. Our traditional New Year's Eve special, where we're going to go through the victories and defeats, particularly where we use the big muscles. In 2025, a historic year, the first year of the return of President Trump's second term and the days of thunder, the flooding, the zone. But as you saw right there, man, that's pretty good. You would think that was ripped from this morning's headlines. Was not that is the things we've talked about and discussed and worked on in your victories over this past year. So I've got Ben Harnwell in Rome is going to join us, head of our international bureau, and of course, our own Dave Bratt riding shotgun with me this morning as we're going to go through the year. But do it as a prep for the springboard for what's to come in the coming year today, you know, Tehran is in absolute chaos, as I've told you time and time again. Don't need to go in and bomb them, don't need to send troops in. If you just pay attention in Jerusalem and focus on what to cut them off economically, they'll overthrow the mullahs themselves. They're in the streets today, of course, last night I think they were actually firing on the crowds in Minneapolis. The Somalians are bringing kids back, scrambling to bring kids back to the, to these phony child care centers. And in New York City, they're preparing for a the inauguration of the mayor. And for the first time in history, they're going to use the Quran. I think I see a common theme there. Short commercial break we're gonna be back in the warm. A New Year's Eve special. Just a moment. If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt? Let's see if we can help you with that. If we could give yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief from your credit card and other debt? I might have a solution. Here's why. Now's the time to make a move. This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books. They clean up past due accounts. They sell or write off the debt to clear their books. That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before you're in. That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage. And done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage. They monitor lender trends and understand the year end pressure on creditors. They used that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf. Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy or taking on new loans. Done With Debt goes to work for you month one with one clear goal, to reduce your total debt and leave you with more money every month. Get started now because your leverage may disappear at the end of the year. Chat with a Done with debt specialist@donewithdet.com that's donewithdebt.com donewith that.com do it today. We all admire your miracle. Sing all thy. For all thanks I might give for all.

Ben Harnwell (18:12)

Kindness yet for all thine. And here's the hand, my trusty friend in heavy contrast.

Steve Bannon (18:33)

We want to have a little contrast to start the morning that was opening with the Coral Scholars of University College Dublin. A women's contingent can't get more beautiful than that and of course, Robert Shaw back in the 1950s and 60s. These amazing corrals put together by so many different composers. But Robert Shaw, one of my favorites right there. So compare the female version and the male. Both of them pretty great, right? Ringing out the old and ringing in the new here in the war room this morning. We're live Wednesday, the 31st of December, year of our Lord 2025. A lot of news and a lot of news revolving around one topic. Ben Harwell. On the 9th of January, we're going to go to Texas, the great state of Texas, and we're going to have an event. We're bringing over Gert Wilders, I'm going to be there, others, and we're going to spend, I think a couple of days down in Texas meeting people, helping to organize, or I should say not helping organize, but driving forward the organizations, the organizing that's going on. It's about this topic of Islamification and you can see it taking place in Texas. And we're seeing the results of what's happened in Europe over the last couple of decades. And it's not pretty. It's, in fact, it's very scary seeing Paris has fallen, London has fallen. Tomorrow the Quran is going to be used for the first time in the city's history, as you guys remember. Let's go back to the combat history of Christmas, where we go through that first Christmas of the United States in 1776, and we talk about the centrality of New York City in our revolution and how it was probably the most key, so more important even than Boston and Philadelphia. It was the center, it was the key that picked the lock and fought over or fought around forever. Founded by the Dutch and then the Americans, and now a Ugandan Marxist jihadist is going to take the oath of office tomorrow on a Quran. Ben Harnwell the reason we're going to Texas is to stop that happening in the great state of Texas, because there's actually a very well thought through plan by the forces of Islam in this world. And you see, and this is this year, you start to see it perk up. You know, we've been all over it, but it's coming to, not coming to a head, but getting more and more in your grill, as we can see up in Minneapolis. Your thoughts about all of it, sir? You've been particularly focused on this, like Rahim has for many, many, many years. Your thoughts, sir?

Ben Harnwell (21:15)

What is it? 48 mosques that they're opening or have opened down in Texas, what might once have been Called Bible Belt and now becoming Quran Built. I was particularly interested to see the New York Times if Denver. I don't know if you've got the article, you might splash it up on the screen as I'm talking. I'd be grateful for that. And the New York Times, I think is always the. Thanks very much, guys. That's the. I love the way they frame this, Steve. They're falling over themselves to say how natural and appropriate it is that Mamdani will be the first mayor to swear in with his hand on the Quran. Or let me put it, you called him a Ugandan Marxist jihadist. As the New York Times put it slightly differently. They said Mr. Mandani's faith was a defining feature of his campaign. Folks, we'll get the link out. You know, you've got to read this article because it illustrates everything that's wrong with the left and just how closely integrated they are. The nexus between the left and the Quran. I know Dave Bratt is waiting in the wings. He's going to come on and say a few things as well. There is something fundamental here. We can expand on this in the show, right? It is appropriate that Mamdani does put his hand on the Quran because that's programmatic of his intentions. This is, this is represent something new. Steve. They're not sneaking this in anymore. This is full frontal in your face. They are telling you what they are doing now as they are doing it. There's. There's no more duplicity. Look, I say this, you know, we said this on the War Room for many years. There is an, you know, as. As separate notionally as the left and it's LBG Q agenda is from Islam. You know, as much as the left is. Is attached to feminism, which is not part of the Islamic agenda, obviously you have all these issues on which there is an antagonism. The most fundamental point between the two of them is the alignment in their opposition. The Jesus Christ and his kingdom. That is what unites the left and Islam. That's why they're so compatible right around the right, across the west. You see this affinity between the left and Islam. It's for that reason fundamentally, Steve, history is driven by supernatural factors, right? The Holy Spirit, the battle between what is Ephesians 6:12, that our fight is not against flesh and blood. Right. There's a spiritual dynamic to human history. And you see that in the ever more overt coming together of the left and Islam. And you can see this with the placing of the hand on the Quran tomorrow by New York's mayor. It's appropriate that he does that. They're telling you what they're doing. The response, Steve, and you're leading the way in Texas next week, is what we're going to do about this. From this scenario, we're going, we've been led in by our own complacency and our own willingness to be distracted over many decades. Now. The fight is taking back, and perhaps I'll go into more detail tomorrow on this, on the New Year's show, But I would suggest that the approach for every Christian who is opposed to what they are doing is to pray, to discern, and then to act and do everything within one's power, within the realm that Christ has put us within, which the Holy Spirit has put us, to affect that gospel change in our immediate lives. That's what we can do. And I think that's what you're going to be doing in January.

Steve Bannon (25:16)

In the next block, in fact, I want to give enough Runway for Brett. Brett's got a great way to compare and contrast this. It's for this audience. And looking back over this year, and this is why we say, and in fact, at the bottom of this block, we've had traditionally, for the last, I think, year or two, modern day Holy War by Nicole Negrete, because I just think it's a fantastic song. This is, even if you're not particularly religious, even if you're not spiritual, as Ben said, this is a bigger, bigger drama that's playing out on a bigger scale. And that's why I continue to say Donald Trump, for all his faults and look, this year, you know, has it been perfect? No, it's never going to be perfect for the simple reasons that these are human institutions and we're all humans. But directionally, it's pretty damn good with some big exceptions. We understand that. And that's why the Warren posse is here to make sure that, you know, people can stay focused and we can, you know, hammer things out. But this is providential. This is why the return of Trump in 2024, with that amazing coming from behind victory, which was on your shoulders, the grassroots, and that's why you're going to drive things more than ever. And these massive fights, really, about the salvation of Christendom, the Christian west, and by two forces. One, this massive force of Islam, right, with the money and power behind it, and also transhumanism, which kind of inextricably are linked. And it's a huge fight before us. We've had many, many, many victories here. Right. And all of them have been massive victories and not all going to be massive victories. Victory begets victory and that's why you, this working class and middle class audience.

Dave Brat (27:10)

Are.

Steve Bannon (27:13)

To hammer through 2026. I've said time and time again, I believe that President Trump, the economic plan of Bessant and Trump is really going to start kicking in. I realize everybody haven't seen the benefits of this and that economic plan is not perfect, far from perfect. There are many aspects of it that I don't particularly care for, but generally and directionally about bringing manufacturing jobs here back, high value added manufacturing jobs. When that, when that starts to kick in, as I said, they're going to get more and more vicious. And the buried leader, what Ben Harnwell just said is that they're not hiding it anymore. They're not hiding it anymore. They're not trying to sneak in here on cat's paws. They're coming in and rolling in up in your grill. And the question is going to be, are you going to defend this and start pushing back and making sure that our country is what it was founded on, a Christian country, part of the Judeo Christian west, underpinnings our civilization, but a Christian nation. That is going to be one of the big fights before us in 2026 between transhumanism in the Islamification of the United States of America. Short Commercial break Dave Brat's got a thing or two to say about this. He'll have a lot of Runway in the next segment of the war room.

Dave Brat (28:31)

And his highly anticipated inauguration will kick off just moments after the New Year's Eve ball drop. The 34 year old Democratic socialist will.

Steve Bannon (28:39)

Be surrounded by progressive heavyweights throughout the day. Bernie Sanders, Alexandria, Ocasio Cortez and Letitia James.

Dave Brat (28:46)

Gloria Pasmino is out front with the latest.

Steve Bannon (28:50)

On January 1, I will be sworn in as the mayor of New York City.

News Reporter (28:57)

Zora Mamnani, the 34 year old Democratic socialist who stunned a political world in November, will be sworn in as New York City's 112th mayor at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day. Mamnani, who will be New York's first Muslim and South Asian American mayor, will be introduced by progressive Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio Cortez and sworn in by Senator Bernie Sanders. Mamdani, who prayed previously served in the State assembly and once moonlighted as a.

Dave Brat (29:25)

Rapper.

News Reporter (29:28)

Will take over the reins of America's largest city, overseeing 300,000 public employees and a $116 billion budget.

Steve Bannon (29:37)

I will Fight for a city that works for you, that is affordable for you, that is safe for you.

News Reporter (29:43)

Mamnani's win against former governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary shocked the political establishment.

Dave Brat (29:49)

The knife was not our night.

News Reporter (29:51)

He cruised to victory again in November with promises to make the city affordable for the working class.

Ben Harnwell (29:57)

They are promises to freeze the rent.

Steve Bannon (30:00)

To make buses fast and free, to.

News Reporter (30:02)

Deliver universal childcare to pay for his ambitious agenda. Mambani wants to raise taxes on wealthy residents an ask Governor Kathy Hochul has so far rejected. But the governor, heading into her own re election year in 2026, has said she'll work with the incoming mayor. He and I have had many meetings.

Steve Bannon (30:21)

Individually and with our staff to find a path forward, something that's reasonable, that.

News Reporter (30:27)

We can get started on universal childcare. Mamnani, who has called President Trump a fascist, says he is willing to work with him if it'll help his agenda. Last month he traveled to D.C. for a high stakes meeting with Trump in the Oval Office, who went from calling Mamdani a lunatic to this we agree.

Steve Bannon (30:46)

On a lot more than I would have thought. I want him to do a great job and we'll help them do a great job.

News Reporter (30:50)

Trump even reportedly remarked, wow, you are even better looking in person than you are on tv. So far, Mamdani has made appointments to New York City's core service agencies, including keeping NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch in charge of the department.

Steve Bannon (31:06)

I will demand excellence from my team, from myself and also I will ensure that we create the conditions where that excellence is possible to deliver on.

News Reporter (31:14)

But some of his hires have garnered controversy. A day after naming his director of appointments, Mamdani accepted her resignation after it was revealed she had posted a series of anti Semitic posts online more than a decade ago.

Steve Bannon (31:28)

We are currently underway at making changes in our vetting process.

News Reporter (31:31)

As he prepares to take office, Mamdani is also getting a major real estate upgrade. He and his wife Ramadiwaji will leave their one bedroom $2,300 a month apartment in Queens and move into Gracie Mansion. Mamdani will be sworn in during a private midnight ceremony at the old now abandoned City hall subway station. A public inauguration is scheduled for the afternoon, planned in part by a star studded committee including children's YouTuber Ms. Rachel and actress Cynthia Nixon.

Steve Bannon (32:04)

And he'll do that on the Quran. As I said, the national conservative speech I gave, I think it was back in June, might have been July. The Israel first crowd that brought you a, that brought you a two State solution. You know, they had this thing the other day about what went on in, in Mar a Lago and Netanyahu is making the argument, oh, we'll never agree to a two state solution. Yo, dude, what do you think is happening in Gaza right now? There's kind of this separation from reality. You got Qatar, that's got money in everywhere, including the New York City public school system. You've got Qatar underwriting it and the Turks are going to provide security. That's a two state solution. That's a Palestinian state. As I said, don't focus on bombing Tehran. Don't focus on sucking, doing a regime change war from the top, decapitating the top and having America get involved in another, another endless war in the Middle East. And if you watched posobics specials this week, they were breathtaking about the Iraq war and about how we got sucked into other Middle east wars. We're tired of it. It's irrelevant. As I said at the time and told these guys, what's relevant is what's happening in New York City. And so now we have. The Israel first crowd has visited upon us a two state solution in, in Israel. And this is why I argue we have to have a third state. We have to have a Christian state. We're going to actually be bringing people on starting on Friday and Saturday to discuss that. We have to do that. And number two, this mess and this is a huge, huge, huge wound in the United States. And if you connect what's happening in Minneapolis with what's happening in New York City with what's happening in Texas, exactly what I told this conference of neocons in Washington D.C. back. You know, they talk about national conservatism. We're popular. It's all a front. It's all a front for neocons. And they should be ashamed of themselves, of how they've left this world right now. Of which you have to fix you this audience. We're going to have to fix this. We're going to have to fix it. We're not going to have a country. Dave Brat, you've got some, you got some thoughts about this, sir? You've got Runway and the floor. Jor. Sir.

Dave Brat (34:37)

Yeah, thanks, Steve. Yeah, not, not happy about this. The New York Times, as we've gone over on this show for years, has just been constantly putting down evangelicals, Protestants, Catholics, on and on and on. And yet in today's New York Times, you know, Mondame will be the first NYC mayor to use the Quran at his swearing in. I'M gonna flesh out what the New York Times is saying. There's no way they can defend intellectually what they're saying.

Steve Bannon (35:05)

Hang on, let me. Hang on. Hang. I'm gonna turn over. You do it. But Laura Loomer, I got the thing to her early this morning. She put up that. She says New York Times gushes. Gushes?

Ben Harnwell (35:15)

Yeah.

Steve Bannon (35:16)

The audience. We've made it so you can read it. You must read this. They're glazing Mandami. They're glazing the Quran. They're glazing Islam. And this is the paper of record in their country, in this country. They are gushing all. It's sickening. You will want to throw up as you read this piece. Dave. Brad, it's yours.

Dave Brat (35:36)

Yeah. And it's shocking what they've admitted. Mr. Mamdani will join a small group of prominent elected officials in the US to use a Quran for their swearing in. Keith Ellison, Minnesota's attorney general, became one of the first American elected officials to put his hand on the book when he sworn into Congress in 07. Representative Ilhan Omar in Minnesota, who succeeded Mr. Ellison, also put her hand on a Quran for her swearing in. So this tees up the basic question. What. What is going on here? The trend line is not looking good here for the Quran swearing in folks in government, then second paragraph in on this story. But for New York's hundreds of thousands of Muslim residents who have taken pride in seeing one of their own rise to the mayoralty comma, his inauguration will bring another special first rooted in tradition and piety. Boy, that's what I'm going to dig in here just for a few minutes. What tradition are you talking about? New York Times and which piety? What are you saying? Please, we want to know this, right? We really do. We're serious on ideas. The Christian faith is rooted in knowledge. So let me just get to a few contrasts, right? First, the United States Constitution. Let's cite that. The thing that gives Muslims their minority rights in this country and the full rights to everything, even rights they're making up. So the U. S. Constitution. That the primary document used most by our founders when they wrote the U. S. Constitution was the book of deuteronomy in the Christian bible and of course in the Hebrew scriptures, the Quran by contrast. Show me the lines. Connect the dots between the Quran and any significant document that shows me democracy or human rights. And the plain fact is if you look and all of this is just mainstream, right. No one wants to talk about it because it's not polite. All political views are my own, always. But there is no Muslim country that's a functioning full democracy. There is no Islamic country that has a human rights record at all. Because human rights language does not exist in the Islamic tradition. Back in about 1300 they had some great philosophers. Now you cannot name a great Islamic university. I wish there were. Let's go to other. And this is why the New York Times is. It's not puzzling, it's. It's on purpose. Right? They do not like Christianity because it keeps them from their globalist ambitions and big government ambitions. That's what is going on here, right? The Protestants believe in largely capitalism versus Mamdani's socialism. There's another contrast in capitalism properly construed free markets. You have to make what I want or I won't buy your product. It's self regulating. It's self discipline. If you don't make good stuff that I want to buy, you fail. In socialism, it's you give me more stuff, period. And, or otherwise I'm going to use the state. And the definition of the state is that which has a monopoly on violence. I'm going to use a monopoly on violence to force you to overcome your liberties to your own money and to your own freedom to give me what I want. That is socialism. So now you see why the New York Times and the Power Crew is being a little glossy about the tradition and the piety of Islam. I skipped over the major piece right off the bat in theology. Harnwell struck it just right. This is a war, a spiritual battle. And so you've got to do your theology. New York Times. Allah, the God in Islam is so sovereign that there can't be a human rights tradition. It's totally top down. And that's why when you see the logic, it's top down. The, the major priority in Islam is complete submission to Allah. There is no bottom up populism. There's no bottom up revolution or populism in Islam anywhere as there was when Christmas. We just got done with Christmas. Jesus comes in the flesh as a baby, right? And so the, the logic right off the bat, the initial logic of the, of the Christian theology versus the Islamic theology is just stark. I, I want to say a little bit more on this rights, the rights theme. It, we gloss over it like it's just, you know, here Brad, talking about the Constitution, rights, but our rights to liberty, right? It's the freedom first one, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. Our rights are being infringed by a group who wants to get rid of our right to liberty. They want to force us, as I just said, on on socialism. And I'll just close with one of my pet peeves. The minority groups in this country have been successful in getting the Bible out of K to 12 schools. Well, why is that a problem? Because the Bible is the document that gave us the minority rights in the first place. That's the stunner, the very book that originates our right language, of which free market system, private property rights and the rule of law, all of those come straight out of the Catholic tradition in 1300s and through our founders and Protestants at the founding and so a huge set of contrasts. I look forward to response by the New York Times, and I'm dead serious. I would love to hear how they adjudicate the piety and tradition they refer to glowingly. While they mock evangelicals, Protestants and Catholics.

Steve Bannon (41:10)

They mock everything about the Christian faith. Everything.

Dave Brat (41:14)

Yeah.

Steve Bannon (41:14)

And they look to undermine everything about the Christian faith. But there's today they in full view, they're glazing Islam and glazing Mandami. The Mandami situation may should be taken head on. President Trump's got a different idea. President Trump's the president and he's, you know, he's the master negotiator. I I think this thing has to be confronted head on. Head on because you see in his selections, he's got all these guys, lawyers who defended al Qaeda. It's very obvious you're going to see the Islamification of New York City. And if New York City falls, folks, the United States of America are going to have a big problem. Texas and New York City, they're coming for it. And as Ben Harnwell said, they're not coming in on cat's paws. This is up in your grill. Up in your grill. Short commercial break we'll return the warm in just a moment.

Ben Harnwell (42:18)

Sam.

Steve Bannon (43:02)

Welcome back. It's very appropriate we have bagpipes because I'm gonna bring Harnwell in so for edification as we come to this end of this year, and now you've got all this explosion about the the Islamic problem in the United States and it's a problem. How is it Christianity as we know it is the the Gentile church, not the the the the Christian Jewish part of it, for many reasons didn't get traction. The church in Jerusalem did not get traction. Right. James? What the brother of Jesus, historically, was the head of that church. But very quickly in the apostolic age, there was a shift to Rome and to Greece and to other Places where there were Gentiles and the Gentile Church is where it got traction. How is it that kind of what became the Christian west out of Europe with all the art and all the music and all the, you know, celebration, The Reformation trying to reform the Church, the Counter Reformation trying to reform the, or counter the Reformation, all of that. Why was it Christian Europe that the elites failed to take a stand? Because Europe is in dire straits right now. I would say Paris has fallen, London has fallen, Brussels. It's a horrible story overnight coming out of Brussels. So Ben, as we look at this as a Christian nation here based upon the Judeo Christian west, our civilization, how are we supposed to look at this when you have a perfect example of the elites in this country? That's why this New York Times article is so important to read today. The elites in this country are choosing a side, right? And in that article they're choosing Islam. They talk about the piety of it and how Solomon it is and how you know, what a deep meaning it has for the Ugandan Mandami if the elites are not prepared to defend it. Is it worth defending, sir?

Ben Harnwell (45:01)

Well, I don't think post Christian civilization is worth defending. I don't think it's worth defending remotely. I'm interested in defending Christian civilization because that's founded on the true revelation of God to humanity through Jesus Christ and through the prophets, through the Old Testament prophets before that. That is something worth fighting for. Post Christian civilization in inverted commas is just a make it up as you go along project which has been failing since the, the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. Look, so many things you said in your question, right, let's start off. I think we're gonna need more than one block to handle this because you're also going to get to the point of where we're going now. So firstly, firstly, on the issue of the Jewish Church, I need to push back on you from memory here. I need to push back on you something. It's not quite true to say that the Jewish element of the Church collapsed pretty quickly as momentum went over to the gentile side via St. Paul. Because really what actually happened was that Judaism at the time was split into two factions, Greek speaking Judaism, which followed the Septuagint, the Greek translation of, of the boss of the Gosp of the Old Testament and then the Hebrew faction which was basically being promoted by the Pharisees. What actually happened at the time of Christ, after the death of Christ, before the coll, in that period between what, 33 A.D. and the collapse of the temple. When was that? 69, 70 A.D. is that almost, almost the entirety of the Jew, of the Greek speaking Jews came over that, that, that it's not that they, that is what the, the first century church grew out of. They all converted to Christianity. And what you had left is basically the Pharisaical movement which is via various stages what the Jewish community is descended from today. That's the first thing. And the important thing about that is the fact that the Jewish, the, the, the Jews out of which the first church emerged was Greek speaking. Because that comes into the point now of how, of how influential Christianity was in Europe as it moved westward with the inspiration of Greek philosophy at its wind. That's something absolutely lacking in Islam, which is the importance of rationality. Now I am the first person who will queue up and criticize Pope Benedict on so many fronts. But if you want to, if you want one positive thing to identify in his pontificate, which was actually the important thing about his Regensburg speech was he was making precisely this point that Christianity is as a, as a religious force developed from three principal streams. We are three principal cities, which is Jerusalem, Rome and Athens. And the importance of rationality. And obviously Dave Bratt can speak far more eloquently to this than I can, but the importance of rationality as being a tool given to mankind for discernment by God and in understanding the world and revelation is there in Christianity and it's absolutely not there in Islam. You know, in a state of saying there are no really great Islamic universities for this reason because the whole point of, of Islam is contained and limited in the Quran and rationality has no place in that, whereas obviously it does in, in Christianity. Let me give way to the break now and then I want to come back and explain it's exactly what's going wrong now in the west following this.

Steve Bannon (48:52)

Yeah, we're, we're going to continue on with this with Brad and Ben Harnwell and remember that Regensburg speech. Once again the New York Times and the mainstream media picked out one or two elements and they tried to try to put, they tried to tar and feather Pope Benedict in running out of town about this one. It was actually one of the deepest and most meaningful speeches I think any Pope has ever given to lay it out in man. Is it relevant in America on the 31st of December in the year of our Lord 2025. We're going to take a short break. We're going to continue with great music. Joe Allen's also going to join us the victories and defeats of 2025, two of the biggest transhumanism, artificial intelligence and the Islamification of the West. And now the target, as Ben Hornwell said, they're not coming in on catch paws. This is not they're not sneaking in here from New York City to the great state of Texas and everywhere in between. Coming for you. Short commercial break. Return the Warm in just a moment.

Ben Harnwell (50:19)

And here's a hand, my trusty friend.

Steve Bannon (50:25)

And he's a hand of the.
