WAR ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. It's Friday the 23rd of January. Yer valor 2026. Welcome. We're not going to do a cold open today because we got so much to get to. We're packed in this hour. Dave Bratt joins me as my wingman for this. Dave, we're going to have the Weather Nation guys on here in a while, talk about the weather because that's maybe the most important story of this weekend and into early next week. But Dave, I noticed the, the Jack Smith thing was such a failure that the mainstream media kind of backed off this day and they're totally focused on this little boy in Minnesota thinking that that's going to divert attention away from the mass deportations and divert attention away from Insurrection act and insurrection. You saw they did roll up, Dave, at least three of the 20. But it looked like three of the ringleaders that essentially barged into a Christian service, terrorized the families, terrorized the parishioners and then threatened, threaten the pastor because he had some sort of role in ice. This is their new tactic. They think they're going to back all the Christians off of any support of President Trump on the deportations. Let me just repeat this. We're getting mass deportations, all 15 million of the illegal aliens that came here that Biden structured, financed, executed, implemented, exacerbated the invasion of our country. The biggest act of treason ever happened and left us to deal with it. We're going to deal with it because they're all going home. And you can blow your whistles all you want, you can take your cars and put them around, you can do anything you want, you can tear your hair out, but they're all going home because your business model is totally corrupt. You're stealing from the American people, you're stealing from American citizens to pay for this, for the Destruction of the country. They no, thank you. You think you have transformed the country. Well, natural evolution and transformation maybe because America is always making, always going forward, always going next level. But we're not doing your way which is to turn us into a third world hell hole. Dave. Brad, your thoughts?
C
Yeah.
D
Well, I thought your show yesterday really hit the bullseye with Peter Schweitzer. I mean you call me a puritan pilgrim dower guy or whatever that guy. There's no more inn truth teller than that guy. You can just look at that guy's face. I don't know whether he's Protestant or Catholic or what, but I'm friends with him, I've met him over the years. I consider him a national treasure. It's not just immigration. It's not just cheap wages. It's a conspiracy of the Mexican government and elites and the rest of the world's in on it. The Davos thing, President just stood up to all that and gave them a clarion call. And so yeah, mass deportations is back on the table because the evidence and the receipts are all coming in. And then I'm glad DC the church invasion that symbolically there's nothing worse. And the left saying there's first Amendment grounds for an attack on a church. We need massive arrests, more than three. I applaud ICE and all of our agents. The Congress is still missing their awol. They need to put E verify in tomorrow and they need to cut off all benefits tomorrow as well. If you do those two things, you're going to take away the biggest incentives.
A
Right.
D
Economics is all incentives and you take away the incentives and folks are going to self deport massively as well. Once we shut off the free money that the American taxpayer is paying for. That's, that's the new thing. Illegal immigration is one thing, the taxpayer paying for it is another.
A
Yeah, President Trump says it's going to happen on February 1st. Let me just give you an update. In Nevada, these radical judges just had. A federal judge ordered the release of a convicted MS.13 murderer that ICE had rounded up on some technicality. DOJ vows to seek further review. This is what we're dealing with. This is an outright insurrection from the media class, from the progressives who are all traitors. They're all traitors. If you support this, you're a traitor. You're an outright traitor. This was an invasion of our country and I guess we're going to have to sort it out. But it's going to get sorted out. All 15 million. Some people say 25 is 25. All 25. I'm just sorry they have children. You don't want to break up the family. So guess what? Adios, everybody. Got to go. Peter Schweitzer. The Mexican government's been involved in this up to their eyeballs. This just didn't kind of happen. This has been the collusion. And we gotta get into the emails and text messages and conversations and meetings with the 53 consulates in, in in the United States of America and the Biden regime in the permanent government. It's outrageous. Let me bring in Mary Holland. And so, Mary, first question. I've got a clip I'm gonna play in a second. The whole correct me if I'm wrong. Yesterday was the one year from signing the executive order to get us out. Are we, to your knowledge, are we technically out of the who?
E
We are technically out of the who. So when President Trump came into office, he declared that we would be leaving. It's a year long process. And we formally left the WHO yesterday, January 22, 2026. And that's a really important big step because the WHO, especially during COVID just was in lies up to its ears. They have done nothing to remedy those lies. They have people in charge who absolutely are untrustworthy. And so I personally am very grateful we're no longer in the who.
A
We'll have more on that, I think next week I'm gonna have a special and bring a bunch of people in to talk about what that means in the way forward. But what I love about children's health defense, and Mary Holland in particular, you will go on offense in a New York second. So you're now on offense. Let me play this little clip and then I'm gonna come back to you about children's health defenses on offense, on vaccines, not just playing defense on offense. Let's go ahead and let it rip. It's a different world when you start discussing vaccines. There is almost like a religion there. So I'm very concerned, very frustrated with that. But I continue engaging and we have, as I said, a very strong and.
F
Responsive, respectful, both ways relationship.
A
And we can chat about that.
C
So sort of discuss the things that you can get agreements on and park the issues that you kind of fundamentally disagree on.
B
Works.
C
Works for a while, but it's not a sort of sustainable kind of thing for years to come. Something has to change.
A
No? The Secretary of Health. Yeah, okay. Bobby Kennedy is changing everything about vaccines. Mary, tell me you've had a big development in children's health defense. You actually dropped a Big lawsuit the other day. Why did you do that?
E
Yeah, well, just. I just want to say, poor Albert. But, you know, the religion of vaccines is not Bobby Kennedy's or ours. The religion of vaccines has been of the vaccine manufacturers and the fact that they're treated completely differently than drugs. So we dropped a lawsuit against the American Academy of Pediatrics on Wednesday, and we are suing the American Academy under a racketeering federal statute in the D.C. district Court. And we're alleging that the American Academy of Pediatrics, which is the standard for pediatricians and for the vaccine schedule for children, we're alleging that they have been knowingly lying for decades about the safety of the entire schedule. The two top plaintiffs on our case are. Are parents who took their young children for routine vaccinations. And these twins and another little girl. They died, Steve, right after their vaccinations. And the insult and injury of the top plaintiff, Ms. Shaw, is that she's under criminal investigation for killing her twins, when, in fact, the medical establishment documented that it was vaccine injury. So this is what the lies do when you say the schedule has been fully tested and they're safe and effective, and they save lives, and there's never any downside. This is what happens is that doctors don't know how to treat vaccine injury. People don't know what it is, and literally, children die from it. Two of the other plaintiffs are also pediatricians who, when they actually looked at vaccinated versus unvaccinated health outcomes, they were exiled from the profession. You can't do that, because we all know that vaccines are magic. They're not like other medicines that have pros and cons. Vaccines are safe for everybody, and they all have to follow a schedule. So we're going against that. We want them to declare that what they've said was wrong, and we want them to publish that in all of their documents so that people understand that the schedule has never been properly tested.
A
What I love about you and Children's Health Defense, you went after him on a racketeering statute. Tell me. You went after the American Academy of Pediatrics basically for racketeering.
E
Okay, let me. Let me explain why that is, Steve, because this is really the same racket that the tobacco industry did. In fact, it's actually even more extreme than what tobacco did, basing this lawsuit largely on a case that was brought against Philip Morris. And in those days, there was a tobacco research institute that sort of had this scientific patina. It had this scientific kind of gloss on what was naked lies of the Cigarette manufacturers, the tobacco industry, and it's really the same thing here. AAP gives this scientific, medical, white coated gloss to the fact that these people are out to make money. This is a medical trade organization that really doesn't care about the health of your child, care about the bottom line of the pharmaceutical industry and putting out every vaccine that's possible, adding it to the schedule, saying it's been perfectly safety tested, when that's a lie.
A
A big part of this, I take it, would be discovery if this suit goes forward, a discovery. What do you anticipate to find in discovery?
E
I would anticipate, much like in the tobacco cases, Steve, we would see the memos where they know these products are very dangerous. They know the children who are vulnerable. They know what shouldn't be happening. But one of the things even before that's very important is that on February 13, there will be a hearing in a federal district court in Boston where the AAP is bringing a lawsuit against Bobby Kennedy as the Secretary of Health and Human Services, alleging that everything that he's done so far violates the law and should be turned back. And so I'm very happy that the timing is in the same news cycle so that at least people are aware the AAP may not be all that they are making themselves out to be, the carriers of children's health. I think this complaint, if people read it, will really open their eyes to the reality of what the AAP has been doing for a long time.
A
People tell me that in the lobbyist community, people followed this, say that Kennedy and you and these other grassroots organizations have really rattled Big Pharma. They never envisioned at all that President Trump would actually be intellectually engaged in this. And clearly it's touched his heart somewhat that he's down for the fight. I don't think they were. I don't think they anticipated that, ma'. Am.
E
I think you're right about that, Steve, But I think it's Albert Bourla who's the one who's engaged in religion. There's not a single vaccine on the childhood schedule that's ever been properly tested against a true inert placebo. I mean, that's extraordinary, but it's the truth. They're not treated like drugs. And then the manufacturers have this incredible liability shield. That's just the truth. They're treated in this very special category. And President Trump is a very common sense guy and he gets it.
A
Mary, where can people go to see you got content up all the time? You're writing articles. I particularly want them to get a breakdown of this lawsuit so we can follow it closely, which we will. Where do they go?
E
Come to children's health defense.org we'll have it up on the landing page.
A
Ma'.

Thank you very much. Do you have social media? Do you have a Twitter feed?
E
Yeah. Mary Holland NYC on X.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon Cave, Dave Bratz with me riding shotgun. Dave, as you know, there is a big event, a natural event that is occurring even as we speak. I want to go to Jesse Kelly, meteorologist over at Weather Nation. Jesse, can you walk us through what's actually happening here? Because as you know, a place like the Daily Mail and others, their hair is on fire. They're running around. So we turn to Weather Nation to get the basic facts of what's happening. Sir.
F
Yeah. So right now the Venizar is starting to take place right now across the areas of Texas and Oklahoma. Starting to see some rain, starting to see a mixture of sleet and freezing rain. And we'll gradually see some of this wintry mix transition to more snow across Oklahoma. They're going to see everything just spread towards the east throughout the evening and overnight hours. And we're looking at two rounds of precipitation and we're going to be looking at some big time impacts, especially in these areas in these counties. We're looking at these dark purple counties though of east Texas, most of Louisiana, north central Mississippi, and then also with that cold air damming event affecting areas like Atlanta, Columbia, South Carolina, Charlotte. So again, these areas in the dark purple we can see ice accretion maybe up to 1 inch thick, if not higher than that. So basically what that means you can expect widespread power outages. Travel will be impossible. So if you live near the I20 corridor, the I85 corridor, especially in these areas where we have those ice storm warnings, make sure that you are prepared for where you are right now. You're going to be there for a couple of days. Power outages would be likely as you get further up to the north in the areas like Kansas, Missouri, St. Louis, even out towards the Northeast, we're looking at basically all snow and some of the snow could be rather heavy as we go into this weekend. Here's the first round of snow to the north. Sleet, freezing rain in this pink down south may see a few thunderstorms for Houston as that travels off towards the east. We're also going to see a warm nose so you have some warmer air from the Gulf that may keep Alabama for the most part protected from winter precipitation. Maybe the northern part of the state could see some freezing rainbow. For areas like Birmingham, Montgomery, it may be too warm for freezing rain. So we're going to get just a cold rain that will work its way over towards Georgia, but again across the i85 corridor. It will be very dicey to travel, if not impossible, because of all the ice. Here comes the second round of more snow and ice across Oklahoma into Texas. All this will work its way out into Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, D.C. will see snow maybe transition over to maybe a mix. And then here across the Gulf coast for Sunday afternoon, we may see a few severe thunderstorms. We've got a lot of hazards at play over the next couple days. And then once all this precipitation comes to an end, it's still going to remain very cold here for a lot of us across the South. So we want to continue to reiterate the point of once all the ice and the snow and the sleet comes to an end, what's on the ground is going to stay on the ground for a lot of us here until at least middle part of next week, especially across the south, once temperatures will get above freezing and anywhere from okc, let's say Fort Smith, Fayetteville, Arkansas, all the way up into areas like New York City, Boston, Hartford, we could be seeing snowfall amounts potentially over a foot. Plus further south across the areas of Texas, Louisiana, and again across the I85 corridor between Atlanta in Charlotte, we can see the potential maybe an inch of ice, and that is going to be a very crippling storm. So it's very important for everyone to be off the roads and stay home during this event. Here's my last point. A lot of coal alerts are in place. It's very cold up north and all of Scotia continue to sink more to the south over the next couple days. So it's going to be a very cold couple days here, not only for the north, but also down to the south. It's going to keep all that snow on the ground, though, at least the middle part of next week, Jesse, is.
A
The reason this is kind of unique is that we've had this Arctic blast that's not just hitting Minnesota and the northern states like sometimes it does, but it's all the way coming through the middle Atlantic down into areas of the South. At the same time, you've got moist, warm rain coming out of the Gulf of America and other places, maybe Baja, coming across. Is that what makes this so dangerous? Why so many emergencies in states and people prepping? You got a cold blast coming down from the north pretty deep into the country, coupled with this moist air in this rain and participation coming across from the Gulf of America and from and from other places south.
F
Yeah, you basically nailed it. So, yeah, we have this garctic blast coming in out of Canada and we have a disturbance that came out of California just a couple days ago. We got all this moisture coming out of the Gulf. So basically as all this colder air meets up with all this moisture, that's why we're looking at a big time event. But these temperatures though, they are very critical on your precipitation type. Now obviously the further north you get up into areas like Illinois, Indiana to Ohio into the Northeast, it is going to be a slam dunk shot of all snow. But as you get further down to the south, yes, temperatures at the surface, yeah, they are below freezing. But as that moisture from the Gulf is coming up to the north, there's some warmer air about 4 or 5000ft which is allowing for rain basically to fall in a shallow cold air at the surface. That's where we're going to see ice mess for a lot of us across the South. And of course you're seeing this much ice that the forecast is suggesting. Obviously travel is going to be dangerous if not possible, if not impossible, rather for a couple days.
A
Jesse, you said also there's going to be two shots this kind of coming out of Texas, Oklahoma. There's going to be two shots right now. As you see it, the first shot commences when and the second shot commences when.
F
So the first round of precipitation we're seeing right now, that's round one is starting to take place right now across the areas of Texas and Oklahoma. So that's the first round that will begin to move into areas like Dallas later on tonight that will work its way towards Little Rock after midnight and then eventually work its way out into the southeast into the Ohio Valley as we head towards Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening. This will move off the Atlantic coast by Sunday morning. But notice though, there's more energy coming out of Mexico, more snow, more sleet. And then this, in my opinion, feel like this is going to be a stronger push of moisture, more stronger dynamics. And this is also going to allow for some severe weather down towards the south across the Gulf coast we could see some damaging winds, maybe some hail. Heavy rain also could be a concern. So there's a lot of facets here when it comes to this forecast. We're going to keep a close eye on from Texas all the way out towards the East Coast.
A
Jesse, I want everybody to download the Weather Nation app. Weather Nation's all one word. Weather Nation app Now you get real time alerts, live radar, nonstop updates and real weather 24 hours a day. So download the Weather Nation app. Jesse Kelly, any social media, how do people track you?
F
Sir, I'm on X. Jesse Kelly, wx Also on Facebook, meteorologist Jesse Kelly. I should know all this stuff.
A
Jesse, thank you so much. Great.
F
Thank you.
A
Appreciate you. Eric Fox, Is Eric Fox with us? Eric Fox, how are you? Tell me about Texas. Tell me Texas, Oklahoma, is this, you know, Dave Bratz? Dave, I think you're looking at 18, potentially 18 inches in the center of Virginia in God's country, right? How bad is this going to be, Eric, as it comes up through Texas, Oklahoma, through the south, through the mid, mid Atlantic into Virginia, sir?
C
Well, it's definitely started here in Texas already. I'm in the northern part of Texas, Wichita Falls, and I'm going to turn here. The side of my truck is already solid ice and you can see it on the windows and it's only been probably five or ten minutes worth of a lot of ice coming down, freezing rain mixed with sleep. So it's already starting. It's already been like five, ten minutes worth of heavy precipice. And it's going to continue to be that way, of course, for several days. Just like Jesse was saying.
A
Eric, they've already called for many of these states, have already said, hey, we're in a state of emergency. Walk me through how that works in the great state of Texas.
C
Yeah. So Governor Abbott has already declared a state of emergency for the state, for the entire state. And actually I was in an emergency briefing with where I'm a police officer in Burke Burnett. And they had meetings where they can get funding already from the state. They're preparing themselves for the worst case scenario. The worst case scenario is losing that power due to this ice. And so they're planning on what happens if we lose power, what happens if we get 16 inches of snow, the roadways, what do we do with the people, how do we keep them warm? So all those plans start at the state level and then work their way down to county and municipalities and those plans are underway. Of course, FEMA's involved with that as well at the state level. So all those preparations have already happened and now the storms here, it's just, you know, wait, prepare, try to keep the roadways clear and also try to keep the people warm. I think the biggest story in this is going to be cold for Texas. I mean you're talking record breaking cold all the way through Monday into Tuesday. So you're Going to have a lot of people in harm's way just from the cold.
A
Eric, we've had Dave Walsh on here for years debating this whole concept about the Texas grid. I know the ice is coming in, but is the grid itself, is it concern about the grid being able to actually operate here given the ice?
C
I believe there's a lot of lessons learned that happened over the, you know, last few years, over the last big outage. And I know there's been a lot of preparation preparing their grid so far the statesman now they think they can handle it. I believe they can handle it. This is a little bit different situation where you're not going two plus weeks really, really, really below zero. You're talking more four or five days. So I believe this grade is going to be able to maintain itself. And that's just the state really preparing itself for these events like this. Of course we know the windmills have been treated, the coal plants are full capacity. So we should be okay as long as we don't have anything that we don't know about happen. Which good it's weather. Weather changes. Models are not always 100%, but from what we're seeing, they should be able to handle it. The best thing you can do is prepare. Make sure that you have your generators, you have your, your, your electrical cords ran. Make sure those generators are outside. Make sure that any safety precautions don't get out, don't get on these roadways. You don't have to. I can already see a glaze of ice on these roadways and it's only been, you know, 20 minutes. So to stay indoors, be prepare yourself and you know, have your blankets and keep everybody warm.
A
Download the Weather Nation app right now. You get updates, you get all of it. Eric, your social media, where do people get you? Eric fox.
C
Yeah. X at Eric Fox with a K2000E R I K F O X 2000.
A
You stay safe. Let's hope those power lines hang in there. They grid. They've done a lot of work for Eric Fox. Thank you so much. Look for you for updates tonight and tomorrow. Thank you, sir.
F
Wow.
A
Already started. Said the first five minutes of this thing. Look at that ice right there. Be careful only going out if you have to watch that black ice. Okay. Short commercial break. We're gonna talk. The march for life was a day, Hoso's telling me, and this was kind of limited media, right? They had over 100,000 young people out there today. Pretty bitter cold in Washington D.C. short commercial break. Back with Dave Brat in a moment.
B
There's a lot of politicians that should be getting coal in their stockings for Christmas. But Birch Gold thinks as a smart planner, you deserve silver. That's why for every $5,000 you purchase between now and December 22nd, Birch Gold will send you an ounce of silver free. Remember, silver is up over 60% this year and over $60 an ounce. You see, smart people diversify and have a hedge. That's why I encourage you to buy gold from Birch Gold. With the rate cuts from the Fed in 2026, the dollar will be worth less. And what happens if the AI bubble burst?
A
Diversify.
B
Let Birch Gold Group help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA and physical gold. Let me repeat that. Physical gold. And for every $5,000 you buy, you'll get an ounce of silver for your stocking or for your kids. What a great way to teach them about saving smartly. Just text my name. Ban it B A N N o n to 989-898 to claim your eligibility for this offer. Again. Text Bannon B A N N O N to the number 989-898 today. Because Birchgold's free silver with qualifying purchase promotion ends the 22nd of December of this year. Make sure you text Bannon 298-9898. Do it today.

War room.
A
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
B
Dave.
A
Brad, you're always one of those, you're always one of those Boy Scout types. Be prepared.
B
Right?
A
You're like my Patriot supply. Always thinking downrange. Are you now? I understand that Lynchburg, they're talking about Lynchburg maybe getting up to 18 inches potentially with bitter cold and ice. What's your sense, what's your sense of things? There's.
D
Well, I don't hype these kind of things. I'm a Calvinist. We don't get too emotional on much. But I think this is going to be a severe story. Everyone's saying it's a catastrophic ice event, the snow doesn't matter. And your Jesse Kelly brought up a term in passing that I looked up because I'm like, how in the world can it be this brutally cold? Up in the atmosphere and it's snow and then down here it's brutally cold. So how in the world are we getting to sleep? Well, there's this thing called a warm nose and he said it 5 to 10,000ft up. There's this middle range where it comes. It's snow up there. It comes down to this middle range. It's warm from this, you know, the southern, you know, air that's flowing up from the south and then it turns into sleet up there, and then it hits the cold and freezes and comes down. You just saw it five, five minutes in. Down in Texas. And that's the part. So the more worrying part for us in our area is 0.9 or 1 inch of ice. Never heard of that. Right. That's the catastrophic. And it's going to hit 230 million people. Two thirds of the American people are going to get hit with this because it's a seaboard and it's with the population centers. And so. And then to make matters worse, the high is only below 20s. It's 20s all week. It doesn't hit 29 till 30 till Thursday and 33 on Friday. And so when does the ice go? So this is. Take care. The bottom line here is think through the senior folks in your life, the people in your church, the folks that, you know need a backup plan, check in on them. That's the important part here. Churches, this is your time to be relevant and love people, and that will draw people to the church. If we do what we're supposed to do, that's a huge thing we can all do for each other right now.
A
Yeah. You guys should know we travel with Eric Fox a lot. He's a very safe pair of hands and a great meteorologist. And he, when he says, hey, this thing just started. We're already getting this type of ice in Texas. It's time to be careful. I want to thank Jesse Kelly and Eric in Weather Nation. Download the app. Okay, but we're actually going to go to Mississippi. Northern Mississippi is being hit hard. We're going to go there. In the next block, I want to introduce Cary Gress. Carrie, you're an author. You're over at, I think, Theology of the Home, a website or one of these online magazines. But you've written a great book called the End of the Patriarchy. Right.
D
Here's the question.
A
You had 100,000 young and a woman. You had 100,000 young people turn out today. And Charlie Kirk, the Charlie Kirk team was there. We had Hawkins on. She was amazing. Jack Bosobic's out there. The question is that Roe v. Wade's over. And I know they got some state issues, but where's the energy coming from? Didn't you guys slay the dragon? Isn't the dragon slayed and we can move on to the next thing. Are you still concerned that the dragon's not slayed? Yet.

Yeah. No, I think we thought the dragon was Ro, but RO was not the dragon. The dragon, I really think, is actually feminism. I think the march still has some incredible energy because people go there and they finally have this experience of feeling like I'm not alone, I've got other people to support me. And there's just this incredible amount of energy and invigoration that comes from it.
F
And.
H
But really, until we get to the heart of what the issue is, what's feeding abortion, we're just not going to be able to end it. And that's really feminism. And I think for a long time, Christians have tried to make it work. You know, feminism work with Christianity. And the fruit has really just been awful or mediocre. You know, we haven't actually seen any real success of this, especially on the abortion front. So I think that's what we need to be looking at now, that the true engine of what's that's creating these 3,000 abortions a day in the United States.
A
When we see is feminism, what we're seeing. Part of it in Minneapolis, particularly, they call it awful. Now, what angry white female. Angry white female urban liberals. Is that what we're seeing? Because these are the vanguard of this insurrection here in the United States. Is that modern feminism?
H
Yeah, I mean, I think it's old feminism, too. I think this is the amazing thing, is people have thought that feminism was this thing that was just there to help women. But if you really dig into it, which I do actually in my new book called Something Wicked, the whole goal of feminism was to get rid of Christianity, to really create this revolution. The early feminists thought that Christianity was used by men to enslave women. So you fast forward 200 years, and it shouldn't be a surprise that we're seeing this incredible rage, because the rage was actually inculcated from the beginning because the feminists knew that if you got women angry, then they would be much more politically effective. So we see that just saturated in the feminist movement today. And so these are really the results of it. When you confuse women enough and you tell them that their autonomy or the sense of misplaced compassion, that they can change things just by feeling compassionate about them instead of actually having to have results, this is what you're going to end up with, is exactly what we're seeing in Minneapolis.
A
Go back to the beginning. You said feminism came about because it was an effort to end Christianity. What do you mean by that? When did that start and who was involved in that? It was actually started to end Christianity.
H
Absolutely, yeah. This is the one thing that I think is really fascinating. As a conservative, I always thought, okay, the first wave was good and the second wave is really where things went off the rails. And when you actually go back and look at what the issues were. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was staunchly, essentially anti Christian woman. She and Susan B. Anthony, who ended up becoming an atheist, they started this newspaper called the Revolution. They also wrote this book with another woman named Matilda Gage, who was actually the mother in law of L. Frank Baum, who ended up writing the Wicked wizard of Oz. But he was heavily influenced by his mother in law, who was a witch, and taught him all about good witchcraft, bad witchcraft, which you obviously see in that film and in the book. And then the wizard is actually supposed to be a model of the patriarch and this idea of how do we take the patriarch down and really have this kind of godless egalitarianism? So that was very, very early on in the feminist movement.
A
Is this what you're doing? Tell me what your new book's about. Something Wicked.
H
Yeah. So Something Wicked, the last book that I wrote was really more of a. Called the End of Woman. It was really a philosophical look at how we got from Mary Wollstonecraft to the trans movement and just all the steps that it took. And you know, how we get the sexual revolution out of feminism, we get wokeism out of it. But this, this latest book called Something Wicked is really about why feminism and Christianity just cannot be mixed. I think we've been living under this, you know, false impression for a long time that the two can actually work. But in fact, they, they can't. They have very different DNA. They, you know, one's about power, the other one's about humility and surrender and following Christ.
A
Hold on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. I'm a Catholic and I know there is some aspect over there of something called Catholic feminism. You're saying that that can't. Is, that is not possible to work.
H
Well, so John Paul II talked about, he used the word feminism three times that we know of in his 26 year pontificate. So it was hardly, you know, this resounding endorsement of feminism. He has this really beautiful encyclical called Milieris Dignitatum, and he doesn't use the word feminism even once in that document. So I think that if you, and if you also look at his work and you contrast it to what the feminists have done, it's totally opposite and it's actually a really beautiful and compelling blueprint that we could use for womanhood. The problem is, though, that a lot of the Catholic feminists have now tried to fuse John Paul II's work with first wave feminists. So women like Mary Wollstonecraft, Susan B. Anthony, some of the more colorful women that were clearly not Christian, in fact, many were deeply involved in occult or spiritualism. Most people don't realize that Elizabeth Cady Stanton actually got the idea for the Seneca Falls convention from the spirits because she was involved in the cult. And that spirit table is still at the Smithsonian today. So these things are deeply incompatible. You can't just take these ideas that really blended and kind of grew up with socialism and communism and then try to marry them to these incredibly rich and beautiful ideas that John Paul II has that are deeply based in the tradition and the Bible and what it is that we understand about human anthropology.
A
So are you arguing that the right to life movement, and particularly this new wave of young people that are coming in inspired by Charlie Kirk, are you saying it's not just focus on state laws or the Today Hawkins was talking about this pill, but that you ought to shift your kind of gun sights if you want to do something real that you go after and take down feminism. Is that your point?
H
Yeah, I think we have. You know, this is why we haven't had the kind of traction that you would expect. You spent all this money. But we can't change minds because feminism has actually become a kind of religion for women. Female autonomy is the idol. It's got its own commandments, its own theological virtues. And abortion is the sacrament. You have to have abortion in order for women to be autonomous, because women have to work and they don't want to be encumbered by their children. So until we start getting that in our sights and helping women really understand that not only is this an idol, but it's also something that is going to make you deeply unhappy. And this is why we have so many unhappy women. You know, we see it through all those metrics that tell us about happiness. We also see this incredible fracturing of the family. We see this in this. The deep divide between men and women in the culture today. So, yeah, I think we've got to start with what's fueling it. And, you know, we've never seen abortion numbers in the world today throughout history. And again, what's new? Well, feminism is this new idea, this belief that somehow we can protect women from all their vulnerabilities and all the things that could Possibly hurt them and you know, kind of bubble wrap them in this idea of autonomy and you know, they just need to have great careers and then they're gonna be happy. Well, you know, you talk to enough 50, 60, 70 year old women who, you know, end up at this place where they think, this is not what I wanted with my life. I didn't expect to be alone at this stage of my life. But this is really where feminism is leading women. And I think there's a lot of young people who are open to thinking about it differently now. I think it's a harder sell among Gen X and certainly boomers. But I have a lot of hope in young people being able to see their life differently and really start kind of seeing the way that feminism is self destructive.

Thank you, ma'.

Thank you for joining us today. Appreciate it.

Thank you. Thanks very much for having me.

Dave Brat.
A
I think she's onto something, right? There's got to be, there's got to be an answer. No, no, it's got to be an answer. This thing in Minnesota, I mean, we gotta have the Insurrection act and shut the thing down. But there's, there's something, there's something not right about the anger coming from these women, Right? It just, it's, it's satanic, sir.
D
Yeah, no, when she started describing it, you know, you and I, Marxism has seeped in across the board. You know, at first we got to have a little bit, little mix of socialism, you know, to help capitalism. And you know, if you're a good guy, you're certainly going to go along with that. And that ends up in Mandami. And then, you know, this, this, the socialization of the family, the politics, you know, you don't want to be a nasty person. You got to allow these illegals in. It's mean not to. And then you get a border invasion and chaos and riots. Where they're taking on our law enforcement officials. These are all just elements of the overall Marxist logic she was laying out. And the great deceit in Marxism is that it's always the fault of the capitalist or the patriarchy or somebody. And then there's this utopian notion that they're going to be the answer somehow, but they're never the answer. And so the patriarchy somehow is responsible for giving the only country with minority rights across the board, for giving human rights language in the 1300s, for giving property rights, for giving the modern free market system which has fed up a billion Indians and Chinese in the last 30 years. So this nasty patriarchy, you know, upon inspection, I don't think so.
A
Hang on for one second. We'll take a short commercial break. Our dour Calvinist Dave brat's gonna stick with us.

If you can 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 season, would it be finally to get some relief from your.
A
Credit card and other debt?
B
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 Dunwith Debt knows how to use this to your advantage. They monitor lender trends and understand the year end pressure on creditors. They use 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@donewithdebt.com that's donewithdebt.com donewithdet.com do it today.

They got a $2 trillion deficit. They got to get the money. What they think you owe, you may think differently. The way to do this, Tax Network USA, have them help you get to the bottom of it. 800-958-1000. Call that number today. Tell me we're in posse. Bannon sent you and they'll take care of it. You Brett Adams is north of Tupelo, Mississippi, and the area the country is supposed to be hit the hardest, I think come Saturday or Sunday. BRETT adams, Field Adair sorry. Brett Adair, your field meteorologist with a weather nation. What do you got for us, sir?
G
Now, we've got some increasing clouds and cooler temperatures filtering into the area today. We we made it into the 40s here, but we're starting to fall like a rock. We're in the 30s now, and we'll approach freezing and get well below freezing later tonight. I'm currently traveling westbound on the U.S. highway 72 corridor north of Tunica or north of Tupelo. Excuse me, I'm near the community of Corinth. We're going to move in the general direction of Memphis, but this entire corridor is in the line of fire for over one inch of freezing rain, possibly a couple of inches of sleet. Looks like most of the snow is going to be back over Arkansas, northern Tennessee, up into Missouri and Kentucky. So this is the deadly stuff, though, freezing rain when it accumulates on the roadways, especially in these areas where, you know, we don't have as much treatment in our area, like states to the north, they're used to dealing with this on a regular basis. This is not our cup of tea. We see this once or twice every five to 10 years. So our roadways don't get a lot of that pretreatment that some of those up to the north do. So these roads are likely going to deal with issues very quickly. Initially, we'll start seeing the bridges, the overpasses, the trees, the power lines that'll take on some of that ice accretion and accumulation as we go into specifically early tomorrow morning. It looks like this area is going to start seeing impacts shortly after Daybreak and that precip shield will expand throughout the day. A lot of freezing rain to come through most of the day Saturday into Saturday night and even through Sunday. And things will begin to clear out late Sunday from west to east. But it's going to be a long period of frozen precipitation here. So we're worried about, again, travel issues. We're worried about power problems. So if you guys have electric heat, make sure you got a generator, make sure you've got kerosene, propane, make sure you've got, you know, hot hands, all of those things that'll give you that heat and that potential for, you know, non perishable food items. So if you need some, you know, things to eat during the storm. Because once the power goes out, if we get the ice that's projected across the area, it's going to be a while before it comes back up because power outages are going to be widespread all throughout the state of Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, with what we're expecting is kind of a worst case scenario for this area. Steve?
A
Yeah, Brett. I want everybody to download the Weather Nation app, how they follow you on social media, sir, because people are going to be tuned in for this 247 for the next couple days.

This episode of Bannon's War Room blends urgent legal, environmental, and cultural news. The CHD’s RICO suit against the AAP is presented as a historic legal battle over vaccine safety and medical establishment trust. The episode offers granular, real-time guidance on an immense winter storm threatening millions, with meteorologists and emergency officials providing live updates from the field. In parallel, the March for Life serves as a launch point for a deep cultural critique of feminism, which some guests argue is the root of America's moral and demographic crises. Throughout, the hosts stress preparedness, self-reliance, and traditional values as bulwarks against chaos—whether from weather, policy, or societal change.
