Stephen K. Bannon 0:02
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies. Cause we're going medieval on these people. You're just not gonna 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 gonna stop it. It's going to happen.
Jake Tapper 0:24
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Stephen K. Bannon 0:34
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. Bass.

Good evening, Harnwell here at the helm on Steve Bannon's Warroom. I know folks that you like to say to yourself that you tune into this show that we do um to edify yourselves spiritually, but I we know that you really come for all the scandalous things that go taking place within organized religion within institutional Christianity. And tonight we're not going to disappoint. Let's bring up our usual Guests, Frank Walker, Jenny Holland, welcome. Um this evening. Uh Frank, I think we're starting with you tonight.

Um and it has been nothing short of a Of a p I say it's an overused journalistic cliche, but it has been nothing short in Germany of a of a than um than a than a political earthquake. The election that took place in Saxony Anhalt, one of the the East German states, I think saw returns that hadn't been seen for decades. Um and it's quite remarkable, especially when one considers that Germany there is proportional representation. They don't have like a straight up two party system and the votes normally sort of spread around like uh parties will get around thirty percent, perhaps a few percent more depending on the

how the tide is flowing on the day. But the AFD, the alternative for Deutschland. uh clocked up forty three percent on on Sunday, which is at forty three point eight percent, excuse me, just slightly around forty-four.

Inverted commas are important, right? Speech marks speech marks matter. Yes. Catholic German Catholic Bishop's Conference. These these bishops in Germany, they don't have the smell of the sheep about them when it comes to to politics, when it comes to the flock exercising their prerogatives as the laity, making their prudential judgments, and deciding for themselves that yes, actually they would like to have borders for their country.
