As we bid 'arrivederci' to the month of March we are glad to be joined once again by the International Editor of Steve Bannon's WarRoom, Ben Harnwell. Ben has his finger on the pulse of all that is happening and has even been making headlines himself, which we will cover in this episode as we look at some of the news and talking points from the past seven days including... - Big Win for Ben: Steve Bannon wants to open MAGA 'gladiator schools' after Harnwell wins a legal battle in Italy. - It's time we talked about the fall of Kyiv. - Gaza: Security Council passes resolution demanding ‘an immediate ceasefire' during Ramadan. - An Italian town is struggling to sell off its empty homes for one euro each. - UK chancellor defends remarks about high salaries after being criticised for being out of touch. - Teacher loses claim of unfair dismissal after 'humiliating' student over preferred pronouns. - Why Steve Bannon's WarRoom remains a juggernaut. - Ramadan lights in London, no mention of Easter. At what point is enough enough? - Councils flying transgender flag to support Trans Day of Visibility In the two years between December 2006 and December 2008, Benjamin Harnwell was engaged in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Dignity, consulting widely with various experts around the world. This work was drawn to a conclusion on 8 December 2008, when (with Gay Mitchell MEP) he founded the European Parliament's Working Group on Human Dignity (of which he remains Honorary Secretary); and on the same date, simultaneously established (with Nirj Deva MEP) the Dignitatis Humanae Institute (of which he is Director). The Working Group was publicly launched on 25 March 2009 by European Parliament Speaker Dr. Hans-Gert Pöttering MEP (now a Patron of the Dignitatis Humanae Institute). The DHI has since been engaged in launching parallel parliamentary working groups on human dignity in various legislatures around the world, all based on the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Dignity. Ben was the Chief of Staff to Nirj Deva MEP until the end of 2010, since which point he is now based permanently in Rome, directing the development of the DHI. When involved in politics, he was an active member of the British Conservative Party for over 15 years. Benjamin identifies himself philosophically as an Austro-libertarian, co-founding (with Vincent de Roeck) the European Parliament's Mises Circle, which exists to promote greater recognition of the Austrian School of Economics; he also co-founded the international Right Approach Group (with Patrick Barron), to explore free-market solutions to contemporary problems. In 2002 and 2004, Ben was seconded to Colombo as Special Advisor to Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. H.E. Mons. Sánchez Sorondo, Bishop Chancellor of the Pontifical Academies of Science and Social Sciences, appointed Ben External Counsellor in 2016. Since February 2018 Harnwell, as director of the DHI, is also the director of the Abbey of Trisulti, founded in AD 1204 and National Monument of Italy since 1873. From October 2021 to date Ben serves as international editor at “Steve Bannon's War Room” on the number 1 ranked US political podcast. Connect with Ben...

Transcript (Hearts of Oak) Today, it is always good to have the international editor of Steve Bannon's War Room and host of War Room Room, and that is Ben Harnwell himself. Ben, thank you for joining us tonight. (Ben Harnwell) Thanks, Peter. It's a great pleasure, privilege and honour to be invited back onto the show. Well, you were so good last time, you have to come on again. So I thoroughly enjoy watching you on War Room. Obviously, you can catch Ben @Harnwell on GETTR, is the best place to find him, and you can see his regular contributions on War Room. Ben, I thought we'd first just play a little clip of the long interview with Steve K. Bannon and President Trump. Let me bring this up and just play a little bit at the beginning, and then we can discuss this. (video plays) President Trump, thank you very much. Thank you. This book, I think, for people that know and love you is what, what people have been waiting for, because it shows you prior to you being president. And you've got what I call the great and the good of the late 20th century and early 21st century. It's everywhere. It's entertainment, it's media, it's sports, religious figures, and you've got, you know, their letters to you, your correspondent back, the great photography, but then the special is your commentary and observations. How did you come up with the idea? Why did you want to do this? So a group of people got to see in my office, I have stacks and stacks of letters from really famous people. And they say very diverse, okay, very diverse, like actors and crazy people. Probably I shouldn't say this, probably mobsters. And, you know, we had sort of everyone yet boxers, but we had everybody and, and Richard Nixon and politicians, famous politicians and some really good ones and very personal letters. And they saw this and they said, you got to be, and they started looking and Sergio, who you just had on is terrific. Fantastic. Started looking at these letters he said these letters are incredible. I had two women, Norma who passed away but she was with me for many years and she was a fantastic woman and she worked with a young woman named Rona, Rona, Rona Graff And between the two of them, they love to save letters. And every letter was saved and preserved and beautiful and wrapped up. And all of a sudden we saw these boxes full of letters and Sergio and his staff, they went through them. They said, you're not going to believe some of these letters. Like getting a letter from Rosie O'Donnell, who was in love. I don't want to say that in the true sense of the word, but you know, she really liked me a lot. Whoopi Goldberg. By the way, Alec Baldwin, it's the whole, it's all this kind of graciousness, gratitude and class. But not just running for office, because we've got Cuomo, I'll talk to you about that. It's what you stood for when you ran for office. That's what separated it out. I want to go just to some of the, I think some of the ones that are best at the beginning. Talk to me.... Now, Ben, we could go through all of that, but that would miss out your input. But that is available on War Room GETTR. It is available on War Room Rumble. But of course, Steve's time in the White House with President Trump, I mean, tell us your perspective of course of that interview as someone who is working with Steve, working with the War Room. Tell us your thoughts about it.   I loved that interview. I was watching it was late at night obviously here in Europe when that came out as it was for you. But I was on my seat. But this was I think the old Donald Trump, that we haven't really, relaxed, totally comfortable in his own skin, that we, I don't really know if we've seen it since the 2016 cycle. He was absolutely, it's perfect. A lot of inside details, you know, with his negotiations with Emmanuel Macron. Well there weren't many negotiations, Macron was totally rolled, but sort of inside goss on these one-on-one trade negotiations was just absolutely fascinating. And then of course you heard the, we had the exchange there with Steve and President Trump talking, and about you know how all these A-listers were corresponding with him from the 80s onwards in very warm terms. People like, they've just nominated Rosie O'Donnell and Alec Baldwin and what have you, and you sort of realize it's not, there's an element of course that when Trump declared his, when he came down the escalator and declared he was going to be a candidate, Yeah, fair enough. That is a pivot point between his relationship and all the celebrities who'd been cultivating him, because obviously he's a very rich guy, right, that had been cultivating him. And he's very well known for being a generous benefactor as well. So it's understandable that a lot of people would have been cultivating his friendship. You know, and as Steve mentioned that interview, what comes across is the respect and the warmth that these people had towards him. And that's absolutely true. And it's true that when Trump aligned himself with the America First Movement, and in fact takes the banner in his own hand and takes it forward, that a lot of that change. I sort of think though, and as much as that is true, there's something else going on, as well in that story and that's a lot of this opposition, you know, the people like Baldwin and Rosie O'Donnell, they're pivoted from warmth, respectful friendship to absolute Trump derangement syndrome and there's an element of that. But you know, Peter, I also think I think this thing, this book illustrates something else. A lot of that antipathy is just fake. These Hollywood A-listers and the celebrities who start foaming at the mouth, at the name Donald Trump, it's fake. They're all doing it because they believe, because they know nothing about politics. They have no, you know, they really don't understand, you know, they don't see, they don't understand as acute observers of politics should do, international affairs and economics as a relationship between cause and effect. And when you're looking at effect, you need to trace back and find out what that cause is. If you want to deal with it, you can't just stand there at an award ceremony and vote to a certain thing that you've done something about it. So obviously these people know literally zero about politics or current affairs, but they all, there's a lot of peer pressure and these people are very shallow and narcissistic and they fall in line. They take the line that's given to them and they quite happily fall in it. I don't see, Peter, what the explanation is, to go from, as this book is a testament of, from that degree of affection to Trump derangement syndrome. the opposition that we see, and which is very influential. People are, in the social media age, they are enormously influenced by influencers and celebrities. And I don't know, perhaps it's salutary to take a moment and stop and just realize that a lot of this is just absolutely fake, which is why they, why on the very rare occasion, Peter, that these people are held to account and to ask to expand on their opposition, they, you know, they stumble and stammer, they're in the mumble tank because they can't actually explain the reason for the emotional intensity of their supposed opposition. But look, the interview, it was based around this book and the correspondence within it, but it's actually far more than that. It was a real, you know, I don't think, Peter, that Donald Trump has allowed an interview at like basically one and a half hour full-length interview in this way with anyone since, no, not since leaving office, since declaring his candidacy, I certainly can't remember it, and most of the interviews, because you know, unlike President Biden, President Trump is quite happy to submit himself to hostile questioning. This was actually really unique in interviews so many regards because you don't have that superficial mainstream media attempt to virtue signal your opposition to Trump when you're interviewing him in the questions. So that doesn't make a show in. So actually you get it's Donald Trump with his former chief strategist going through and actually intelligently talking about so many things from Ukraine to Biden, to immigration, to the economy, without just the sheer waste of time, this fake antipathy it brings to it. So I would strongly, strongly, strongly, strongly, strongly recommend to anyone watching this weekly review with us now, to go on to either Steve Bannon's GETTR account or the War Room account. We've got a great selection, I'm going to be pushing some out in the next 24 hours on my own account, great selection of highlights from that interview and I can't recommend it more because it really shows you Donald Trump in the most, you know, the most human and approachable light. And we're starved of that, thanks to the mainstream media filter. I don't know what you thought about that interview, but I was just captivated by the whole thing. I agree. And for the sake of time, I'll just say it was great to have, obviously, President Trump knows Steve Bannon, Steve knows Trump. And to have that conversation with two friends is different from a normal interview where the people don't know each other. So that level of familiarity brings a conversation amongst friends. And I think the viewer gets an insight into that connection. But we could talk about that for the rest of the evening. I will leave it to the viewers if they haven't already watched it to make sure they do watch it because it is an interview amongst two friends. And in that connection, you get to see a lot and learn a lot of things from that. Peter, can I just add to that before we move on?   Of course you can. That's absolutely true. Because of the intimate sort of atmosphere of it between, as you say, two people, two friends, two colleagues who work together, obviously, on the campaign in 2016. Part of, you know, because of that intimacy there, that, you know, it wasn't so much of a formal, hostile interview, but I don't know about you Peter, but I got the impression as if I was sort of eavesdropping at some point on, you know, There are two people who know one another who are having a private chat in the corner of a bar, and you're just listening and eavesdropping in on some of what they were saying. Because there were some unguarded moments, but people need to go and watch it. I agree. It felt as though you're intruding on a private conversation. I get that 100 percent. I did feel that as well. It felt a bit bad. Well, it's there for all to see. But yeah, that's there for all to see, the viewers and listeners go to war room on GETTR or on rumble and you can watch the whole interview but moving on to other events because uh President Trump that will be over the next 18 months so you're going to get a lot of that don't you worry but moving on to the economics and this is a intriguing story. A BRICS currency could shake the dollar's dominance. De-dollarization movements might finally be here. And the first part of his talk of a de-dollarization is in the air. Last month, the New Delhi, Alexander Babakov, deputy chairman of Russia's State Duma, said that Russia is now spearheading the development of a new currency. It is to be used for cross-border trade by the BRICS nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. And it is intriguing to see this change in, I guess, geopolitical financial control away from the power of the US dollar over to other economies that are actually growing much faster and taking on a bigger market share. And we've heard, I guess, the death kneel of the dollar many times. What are your thoughts on this Ben? Well, actually, we discussed this on the War Room earlier on in the week. I'll make some different points this evening from what I made before. My first observation is that you're looking at the countries here, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and you've got Saudi Arabia as well sort of sitting in the side-lines. These are countries which have rivalries and mutual distrusts between them and Joe Biden is a pretty bad president. But the formation of BRICS, I think it was actually launched by Lula himself some 10 years ago when he was last in power, What a whole succession of incompetent and hubristic US administrations have succeeded in doing, is giving the glue to these disparate countries to come together and start working now on our trading area come eventual currency union, specifically because they distrust the United States so much. And this isn't a distrust towards the American people. It's a distrust towards the CIA. The meddling in their own international domestic politics, the military industrial complex, the whole of the warmongering, the endless warmongering. It's a persistent distrust of that, that has brought these countries together to overcome their, as I say, their mutual suspicions and distrust, but to work together. And I have to say, even though, you know, you and I were both fans of very, very, very, very strong allies of the American people, but the damage that its corrupt MIC regime has been doing for decades to the detriment of the American people, the distrust that has generated in these countries is not exactly Peter, out of place. That is, they have good reason and to want to work together because the military industrial complex is out of control. And yeah, so that's really my point here. It will be to the detriment of the American people eventually, the loss of the dollars, the international currency of settlement. And that will, that, you know, because once that evaporates, the demand to hold dollars internationally by central banks will diminish. And then of course, then America will be held by the ordinary laws of economic reality when it comes to printing money as all other countries are. And that will hit the American people very hard. They've been protected to somewhat for the last 70 years from those consequences. So on the one hand, this move isn't to be welcomed from the perspective of the American people, but it is to be understood, and by understood I mean the lessons are to be learned just how bad the US meddling in other countries abroad has been. Well, that was on the BRICS country, and then this story is specifically on China. This is from Reuters. The UN overtakes dollar to become most-used currency in China's cross-border transactions. And there, the UN became the most widely used currency for cross-border transactions in China in March, overtaking the dollar for the first time, and talks about the difference in payments. And this is, again, interesting. It is the rise of China and their global influence. We've seen it militarily. We've seen it economically. And this is more of the power of their own currency, which then cuts out the ability of the US to have influence. So this kind of builds on the BRICS story, specifically looking at China. Yeah, absolutely it does. It's important to remember, but you know, just weaning back to BRICS for a moment, that when Bolsonaro was president of Brazil, he tacked a very, very different line. He was very hostile to China and very close to the United States. And because Biden is basically a cretin, he believed that it would be better in US interests to have a hard-line pseudo-communist like Lula as president of Brazil, rather than another Trump type of nationalist. You know, and you just, you wonder what is the nature of political calculation going on in those around the leader of the free world to do that because the first thing Lula has done is pivoted straight back to Beijing, to the detriment of the United States and you think basically, the ruling class, that parasitical class that is running the United States into the ground, are they actually being bought off by another country, hostile to the United States' interest. I mean is it possible to be in innocence that incompetent? Yeah it makes you wonder what is happening and we're all witnessing that change of the guard I think on the economic world stage. I'm on of course why not with Biden completely incompetent and the chaos that he is putting to the US economy and Ben you and I watch from a distance but for all our American viewers they're suffering the consequences of that. But this here's a story about the impact of the economic changes, impact on inflation and many other aspects and I think wherever you are in the world you will read this story with understanding probably similar to what is happening in your part of the world, wherever you're watching. But this is on Sky News. Average UK rents hit record two and a half thousand pounds in London amid property shortage. A report by Rightmove gives some hope of an easing ahead as higher mortgage rates alongside the cost of living crisis all combine to squeeze affordability. And the cost of living crisis simply with going and filling up your shopping basket is crazy, certainly in the UK, with basic food items up 30, 40%. If you think any dairy products, it's certainly 40%. And then I know talking to individuals about renting and they just sign the contract each year because it just goes up by 15, 20%. And of course, private landlords, landlords being punished. So those private homes being taken off. But Ben, I think wherever our viewers are watching, it's something that we are all facing, the impact on inflation, impact on rising living costs, and people have to make very difficult decisions. Yeah, this is a complex issue. And at some elemental level, there is a mismatch as this article suggests that you have in front of us, between supply and demand. I would say that, and you mentioned it, and the Daily Telegraph has been quite strong on this over recent months as well. I would say that looking at the supply part of this problem, it's a target, and it has been, I think, for centuries in the UK, for the middle class to own property in order to let, as you know, there's not the safest houses, but if you need to invest, invest it in a house, put it out to let, and that ought to be relatively secure as a potential source of future income. What the government is doing, in its infinite incompetence, is, you know, because it's trying to be populist, but it's mushing it all up. It's actually making it very difficult for landlords to let properties with any degree of confidence in future returns. I'm not saying the UK is moving back to the era of rent controls, but it's not far from that. You know, tenants have ever more rights. You know, for example, if I've understood this correctly, Peter, when leases are up now, it's not, or the legislative plan is to make it very difficult for landlords to kick tenants out. And that tenants will have a guaranteed right on terms of negotiating rent and all the rest of it. So the consequence of that, obviously, is that if you have a property, you just won't put it out to let until the chaos and the uncertainty has sorted itself out. You know, and that further down the line creates the supply problems that we have now. It's not as if the UK population has expanded exponentially. Obviously, a lot of illegals flooding in every day, that's absolutely true, but they're not coming in looking to rent property. They don't need to, because they're being put up by courtesy of the taxpayer in our best hotels. No, this is a different issue. And I rather guess that if you, as I was talking about cause and effect earlier, if we follow this back far enough, we will find the culprit is being previous intervention and legislation by a pseudo populist government of whatever description, because we have a uni party in the UK as they do in the States. And that will be the fundamental cause I think of the supply shortage right now.   Yes the frustration whenever the government get involved in things then you think oh this can only go one way and that's problematic. Moving on to the probably the big story of the week and that is Tucker Carlson, so going stateside again although Tucker's influence is worldwide literally. This is the Los Angeles Times, one of the developments of it, although there have been many developments since, and this is Tucker Carlson Departs Fox News, pushed out by Rupert Murdoch. And if I can just read this, Tucker Carlson, the provocative, provocative? Conservative prime-time host who sustained Fox News as a ratings juggernaut, has been forced out of the network. Fox News announced the stunning departure of his top-rated host on Monday with no explanation, but people familiar with the situation who are not authorized to comment publicly said the decision to fire Carlson came straight from Fox News chairman Rupert Murdoch with input from board members and other Fox core executives. Ben, this must go down is probably the worst business decision of all time. You do not sack the person who brings in the ratings. And what are your thoughts on watching this car crash that we are seeing at Fox News?   Well, the first thing to do here is I think tip one's hat to Steve Bannon's insight on this, which is that this is really part of the Murdoch family trying to tilt the game away from Donald Trump in 2024. And I think there's obviously some truth in that and I think Murdoch's personal contempt for Donald Trump is so great that he is willing to take the hit to his family's fortunes in order to do that, because Fox was in the 2016 cycle a pretty important pillar in Trump's armoury. So that's the first point. The second point that I would make is that this is sort of, It really illustrates to the extent in which Fox Media Corporation is a controlled opposition. And therefore, for people who are angered by that realisation, it ought to be a further push to start checking out the alternative media, Peter, your program, The War Room, and things like that, that are taking place outside of, the cable news networks lock grip on the official narrative, that's a good thing. You know, in a problem, you know, in a certain sense, it's great when you have a dominant monoculture. It's great for, and the worst competition as possible, it's great for, it's a great opportunity for rivals to come up and make a huge splash in terms of influence and audience share in very short time. And I think that's what we're seeing. Oh really, and it's exciting to see where Tucker will go, today I think that Jim Hoff and Gateway Pundit wrote that Newsmax had offered him a colossal contract. But I've been intrigued to watch. Obviously, the reach the War Room have is huge. There are other programs out there. And it will be, I mean, the world is Tucker's oyster. And I'm thinking, well, he's been fairly honest, but I'm assuming he has been partially constrained by Fox News. So whenever you have an unconstrained Tucker Carlson, this is going to be phenomenal. So I think we're all watching in this space to see what develops from this. Look, Petey, you and I, we're both active in the same media circles. I don't know anybody else on Fox that has any resonance in our circles beyond Tucker Carlson. I'd never, you know, there are some other presenters on there that are more or less, no, they're less, they are just less interesting. But nobody, nobody, you know, and I'm consumed by following the news sort of 18 hours a day. And I have been doing it full-time for 18 months. Nobody, not a single person, you know, half of all, if I were to say all I do is sit down and communicate with other journalists, it's an exaggeration, but there's some truth there. Nobody in 18 months has ever sent me a Sean Hannity text saying, or Cliff, saying, Harnwell, you must see this. You must see what Hannity, it's never happened. No one else on Fox has any resonance whatsoever outside of the Fox ecosystem. Tucker Carlson did. And I, you know, their loss will be, it might be Chris Ruddy's gain, we'll find out. But it will be someone's gain. Completely. And let's, I see that Paul Lee, just watching on Facebook, says they took Tucker out in a desperate attempt to stop Trump. I think you could be bang on the money with that. And of course, the good news, the strange news, Tucker going actually wasn't necessarily bad news, because he was released by the constraints, I guess, of a massive network. The other gift to us all was that, yes, it is wonderful. It has been announced that President Joe Biden launches his 2024 re-election campaign. This is on the BBC News, obviously everywhere. He announced he'll be running for 2024, setting the stage for a potential rematch with Donald Trump. The good news is that Vice President Kamala Harris will once again be his running mate. I mean, what could be better? And of course, Mr Biden, 80, is already the oldest president in US history, is likely to face questions about his age throughout the campaign. He would be 86 after finishing his second full term in 2029. And I don't think he knows what day of the week it is, where he is, or what is happening to him. But Dr Jill looks after him, I believe, in there in the White House. But, Ben, we expected this to come and I'm intrigued to how the Democrat party respond because surely they can't watch, can't want an increpid, sadly, deficient individual running for president and leading the Democrat party. So what are your thoughts on this? Well, you know, erm, I tell you, I was rather sorry for that sort of, for that angry old man, angry corrupt old man in the Oval Office when he broke this news, because it was immediately bounced off the press the following day by the Tucker Carlson sacking. It had a lot less residents, because that really sort of, it was the Tucker Carlson thing, that sort of really dominated the following 48 hours of press. And the Biden campaign, it was a bit like, oh, yawn from the world's media. Now you said that the Democrats can't be too happy to see him declaring for 2024. Well you know the Democrats aren't the only ones. I've got something here. This I think was pushed out by Gallup, there's been a fall in the world's approval ratings, considered approval rating of the US president over the last two years. Let me give you the figures. Right now, this is like Gallup spoke to 140 countries over the course of 2022. And they say that the median global approval rating of US leadership has fallen from 49% to 41%. Over the 18 months of Biden's administration. And as a comparison, Donald Trump was at 31%. And Obama, his second year rating was 47%. Well, at the rate Biden is collapsing, he's going to be on Trump's ratings by the start of a potential second term, which will never happen. Anyway, and that makes you think that, you know, we were promised so much difference when the adults were going to return to the room, weren't we, Peter? You know, when we were promised a return of normalcy, we were told repeatedly how the rest of the world was looking aghast, at Donald Trump's administration. And my reflection on this point, Peter, is this, that Biden isn't in free fall. I mean, I personally, half of me says that the country has no need to pay attention to what other countries are thinking of it anyway, right? But he's not in free fall because he's been pushing America first agenda and that's been putting everyone else's nose out of joint. That was the issue with Donald Trump, right? Of course the rest of the world hated him because he was pushing America's interests left, right and centre when it came to NATO subscription membership or trade agreements. Trump was trying to put America first in every single instance and all the other countries had had a free reign for decades to push their countries first and treat United States like a fool. So you can understand why the other countries weren't so happy. People are by Biden's international approval ratings are in free fall because of his incompetence and hubris. And because you won't see this read on the mainstream American media but the rest of the world isn't as nearly gung-ho about this war in Ukraine for example as the media in America likes to push, and this is reflected in these ratings. I just wanted, you know, I just thought that is, I think, if we're going to talk about, as I say, it's almost beer talk, talking about, you know, if we're at a pub having a pint talking about a second Biden administration, it's not going to happen. For a number of reasons it won't happen, but were it to happen, this is the sort of thing that the consequences are. And there are different ways of rating America's standing in the rest of the world. One of them, one, you know, you can be hated but feared, and you could be hated and just treated with irrelevance and contempt. And those are basically the two different approaches between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Well, moving on to, you mentioned Ukraine, and let's look at this. This was an intriguing, it was from the 15th, but I think you had reposted it more recently, Ben, and it's quite intriguing to bring up the topic of what is happening there. This is the Times, Cocktails, Oysters, and Air Raid Sirens. War hasn't soured Kyiv's taste for the good life. And it says there are now more bars and cafes in Ukraine's capital than before the invasion. It's a very strange story, Ben, because we are told that Russia kind of obviously at war with Ukraine, and we see all the videos of that war, and yet the Times comes out with a story that there are more bars and cafes than ever before. It doesn't sound very much like a dangerous war zone, but what are your thoughts on this, Ben?   It's strange. I don't know how this, I mean, the Times for our international audience is Murdoch Press. And it's been a number one Vladimir Zelensky cheerleader right from the beginning. How this article snuck by the census, I have no idea. Are some great lines in here. Here's one line, right, talking about a cook called Somin, age 31, who's returned to Kyiv in late 2021. The Times writes that after a successful career cooking abroad that the guy struggles to find for his restaurant unripe mangoes, adding that ripe mangoes a plentiful. Well, you know. Try shopping for fresh fruit in the UK, local Sainsbury's, it would appear that the supermarkets in Kyiv, which we're led to believe is a war zone, are more bountiful and stocked up. You know, they're making the UK look like communist Russia, pre-cold, pre-Berlin wall fall, here's my favourite line, if I may, from this article. This is brilliant. And I quote, The Kyiv Opera is open, and luxury spas offer gold-leaf facials and teeth whitening. It's no different here, one sales assistant said. It's just the same as it was before. You know, Peter, I don't know about you, right? I don't know about you. When was the last time you went for a gold leaf facial?   I don't even know what that is, Ben, but we missed that. We need to go to Kyiv.   I swear, I swear to God, I had to Google it. I had no idea what it was either. But that, you know, that's where our taxes in the West are going to because they weren't accounted for. We don't know where I'm going to go when they're handing it over, to Kyiv. But we've been saying on the War Room right from the beginning, right from day one, that it's going to Zelensky's, fundamentally to his oligarchs for spending, whether that's in the military or on services or infrastructure or budgetary support, the money is always bein, funnelled by his oligarchs and you know these oligarchs, you know, they need gold leaf facials. Who doesn't?   Who doesn't? Well, moving on to someone who doesn't need a gold leaf facial, and that is Andrew Bridgen in the UK. And I'll read this and then we'll maybe let our international audience have a bit of an idea what that is. This is in The Guardian. And this is the news, the headline there that former Tory MP Andrew Bridgen, that's the Conservative Party for our foreign viewers, expelled permanently from party. Northwest Leicestershire MP has sat as an independent since losing Tory whip after comparing use of Covid jabs to holocaust. And I'm full on down this rabbit hole with Andrew and of course he was vaccine injured and has raised this and spoken about this in Parliament. He has been attacked, demonised by everyone, including Penny Mordaunt, that's probably no bad thing, the leader of the House, the Speaker of the House, and now he's been thrown out of the Conservative Party, seemingly simply for questioning and, discussing the harm that's been caused and how widespread or not, that's a whole other area, but simply for raising this issue. How have you viewed this, Ben, of how Andrew Bridgen has been treated and his expulsion from the Conservative Party? Well, the first thing... Well, okay, so the first, the proper first thing, is that as far as I'm concerned, that inverted... I use sort of air quotes as I say this, the Conservative Party needs to be sued under the Trades Description Act because it's clearly not a conservative party in any way shape or form and it hasn't been for a number of years. It's a hoax calling it a conservative party, it's not remotely. That's the first thing to say and this story just illustrates that to perfection. The second thing I'd like to say is just pointing out the grawny ads and rather lax editorial policy here because they say here that this northwest Leicestershire, which is my area of the country by the way, it's not my constituency but that is my area of the country, that he's sad as an independent since losing the Tory whip after comparing the use of Covid jabs to the Holocaust. That's not what he did, right? What he did, as the article then explains, is that he tweeted an attributing a quote to a consultant cardiologist who had said to him that the Covid vaccines is the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust. So that wasn't actually Bridgen's comparison. It was a cardiologist that had said that to him. Now you might, people might think that's a slight distinction. I don't think it's a slight distinction. I think it's an important distinction. But even if he had compared it to the Holocaust, I don't think that's, the next story we're going to discuss I think brings this out integrated relief. I don't think that would be grounds for permanently expelling him from the party. My first thought, Peter, is that the consultant who said that needs to go on the record. It's up to him, it's up to, you know, it's up to him and his own conscience. Obviously, I guess he might be working within the world's largest communist organization, the NHS, so he might not want, he might not, you know, understandably he might not want to go on the record with that, and yeah, and half of me says, and who can blame him, but, you know, he really, you know, he really, I think he really needs to go on the record with that. The second thing I thought when I was reading this article is the tweet from, the board of deputies of British Jews which said it was pleased with its portion and I quote, right, suggesting that Covid vaccines are the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust is not an opinion which should be countenanced in any serious political party. You know, that kind of thing, I mean, that kind of thing just shows that the Board of Deputies of British Jews has zero credibility about anything. I mean, for one, for one, the consultant cardiologist didn't say that it was a crime against humanity that rivalled the Holocaust. He said since the Holocaust. And these people think that the COVID vaccine injury is a big crime against humanity. So if anything they're underlining the importance of the Holocaust rather than undermining it. But you know these people have always been rather too quick to send out a press release if it gets them some some press coverage and I never want to hear from these people again. I think they've lost every shred of integrity at this point. Third point I hope this guy reaches out to Nigel Farage, or Nigel reaches out to him. That would be a fitting close to this chapter. It would be and it'd be intriguing to see how it goes and where Andrew ends up. If I just comment on a few, lots of comments on GETTR. I love how we have so many comments on GETTR. Three Day Weekend, HW Logan, Dan2848, who else? Scotland the Brave, Jimbra. There are lots of, I'm scrolling up some of your names are just too long and I can't even it'll take me the whole show to go through some of your handles but thank you so much for your comments I always go and look at them after although me I don't always get the chance to to bring them in but thank you so much for your comments there and following on from the Andrew Bridgen this was an article and again this is it intrigues me because these are articles which we would not have seen any time during the last three years and they're now coming out and it's intriguing how the media are, I guess, rewriting things and saying, actually, there are some issues we need to address, even though if you address these things and that's why we're not on YouTube, because if we read this story out on YouTube, we would have got a strike immediately, even though it's the Metro, the newspaper that's given out every morning on the Tube, on the Underground, on the Metro in London. And the headline is, 'sometimes I don't know if I'm going to wake up in the morning, what it's like to live with vaccine injury.' And the gentleman here, Adam, as a former physiotherapist to professional sports people, Adam Rowland knows the importance of staying well. He used to train six times a week, never smoked, rarely drinks. Now he can't even walk on a treadmill for exercise. The dad of two worked with Warrington Wolves before he had to resign in November due to a raft of complicated health issues. And then the story goes into, it seems to be linked to the vaccine. And I am pleased Ben, that at long last the media are highlighting that there are people who have suffered massively from side effects to the vaccine and I don't think that was portrayed or put forward or announced enough beforehand as people were rushing for this. But what are your thoughts on this story of Adam, vaccine injured?   I'm conflicted, Peter, with this story. I mean, obviously I have sympathy for the guy, but I just read this article with a growing sense of wandering disbelief. So he has the first injection, it's the AstraZeneca I think he has in February 2021. This is like well, well into the era of documented stories saying that the vaccine is not safe and it's dangerous, right? This isn't a first wave. So then within a week of having an injection, he's then got sort of heart palpitations, like 20 palpitations a day, panic attacks, drooping eyelids. He can't get up. He's collapsing, being rushed to the A&E, right? And this goes on. I shouldn't laugh, but this goes on for months, getting worse and worse and worse. He's going to the hospital, going to the doctors. And then three months later in May, he goes back and has the second injection. I have sympathy for the plight, but at a certain point you just think, you know, I don't know. I don't want to be harsh. My observation on this article, in order to maintain a certain, sense of charity is never underestimate what people will believe if the government tells them solemnly. Now we knew this, we knew this anyway, right, but if there's a, well there's not a silver lining on the cloud of Covid, but if there were one, it's that every single person with to eyes and a brain that's lived through this so-called pandemic, it now has personal, first-hand empirical experience of just how friends, family, neighbours, loved ones, colleagues can be brainwashed by the BBC and the news and the government and doctors and the professionals and the scientists, with basically half the population, you know, would seem to have zero capacity for introspection and analysis on what they're told from official sources. And that, Peter, is absolutely terrifying. It ought to be terrifying. It is terrifying. You know, we knew this, anyone who's read books on the Second World War and the rise of the Third Reich, even if you've not read it since these things since you were a school kid or what have you, yet everyone always said, you know, the Germans after the war, you know, they were amazed how mass insanity can take hold. And we Peter we've learned nothing we've literally perhaps we learned for a few decades afterwards, but now it's just distant memory we literally have learned absolutely nothing um and having lived through this so-called pandemic um my takeaway has just been I watched open mouth how people um how easy it is for government to manipulate what people think and to sacrifice their freedoms as well. Terrifying, absolutely terrifying. Well let's finish off with another institution that told people that was a mouthpiece of the government and I have no love at all anymore for the apostate church, that is the Anglican church. I think I've given my views there in a nutshell. This is GB News, who do do some amazing stories, thin in other ways, but this is concerted Anglicans reject Church of England and Archbishop of Canterbury and I had watched Calvin Robinson who was there at the conference, but the conference brought together more than 1300 delegates from 52 countries. It's the Global Anglican Future Conference, GAFCOM, has pledged to reject the Church of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury and they had gathered in Rwanda and withdrew their recognition of Justin Welby, better known as Wet Welby, as the first amongst equals. And I'm intrigued by this, Ben, because it is positive, I think, to see some pushback on the woke liberal agenda that Justin Welby brings as head of the Anglican Church. What are your thoughts? Yeah, where do I start? This is, I don't want to be harsh to the Anglican communion, to Anglicans or to Protestants generally, having been an Anglican at one point in my life. So I'll try to be respectful in what I say. In, you know, I could just as easily address what I actually want to say, talking about the Catholic Church, because the issues are the same, right? The issue that, the issue is the same, just the Anglian communion is just slightly further, you know, historically, it was like a couple of generations ahead, but the Pope Francis has done his best to, in 10 years, to catch up up the Anglicans in terms of implosion. Where to start on this, Peter? Um Firstly, the fundamental issue that all Christian churches or ecclesial communities, whatever term you want to use, the fundamental question that Christianity faces and has faced since the beginning of the modern era is, what is the basis of our belief as Christians? And can that basis change? And if it changes, and if the substance of the faith changes, are we still Christian because we are in the centre, the median centre of the horizontally, if you will, of Christians in our own period? Or are we also in communion with the church throughout time? Call that vertical, if you will. And if you pick the first one, really the church in it as a pilgrim church through time, that it needs to remain cohesive, keep all the sheep in the truck together and not necessarily be so anchored to what were form of beliefs. Then you are basically, I mean, I don't share that view remotely, but the danger with that is that you then, well, however you decided to do so, you become a make it up as you go along religion. And I don't know about other religions, but I would definitely say Christianity does not work on a make it up as you go along basis, because nobody wants, no one will change their lives to fit into a make it up as you go along religion. And certainly no one will be converted by that, there'll be no witness in terms of conversion and bringing people into the church, into practicing Christianity, into a relationship with Jesus Christ on the basis of that. Because really what we're doing is conforming the church to the times, rather than allowing ourselves to be conformed by Christ. And this is, I think, absolutely the problem that the Anglican communion has, because it hasn't decided that Welby and the Western Anglican practitioners, who are only about 15% of the communion, want to move with the times. Specifically, it's the blessing of homosexual marriages here. 85% of the church, I think, is in Africa or the developing world, generally. And the African church doesn't want to follow. And they have this problem, and the Catholic church has a problem as well. Basically, I know we're winging now to the end of the show Peter, of our hour. I close with this point. We should look at the collapse and the implosion of the Anglican communion. And Anglicans can learn from it, Catholics can learn from it, evangelicals can learn from it. I would suggest, sadly I could talk for a whole hour about this, but as far as I'm concerned the only valid form of Christian witness today is to be conformed to the teachings that Jesus Christ, expounded 2,000 years ago and the apostles and the early church and the constant interpretation of the revelation of the church is the constant unchanging interpretation of the revelation of the church and it ought to be our guide for today and that will offend people, it will also bring about martyrdom for some but there's no other offer on the table at least put there by Christ. That's it, you know. It's sad and tragic, but I think the most tragic thing about it is it being unnecessary. Yeah, yeah, no, completely, completely. I just want to leave our viewers with two uplifting things. Yeah, no, go on, throw it in, Benny. I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot that we had, we had these two things to come. But I'm just gonna let our viewers watch it and at least it leaves them with a smile. I think it's important to use humour and satire when you look at the world or else it could be quite depressing. Oh hang on, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This video is not satire, it's truth, Peter.   Ha ha ha! Well, let's play this. Babylon Bee, I absolutely love Babylon Bee, and I actually did look at, regularly looked at Babylon Bee, but actually ended up just looking at the headlines, and then someone pulled me up on it, and I started going through the articles, and I thought, this is just better than ever. So this is one of Babylon Bee's videos, and I will let it speak for itself.... (video plays) Being a man is pretty great. It's way better than the alternative. To clearly demonstrate why being a man is so great, the Babylon Bee presents the following list. The world is your urinal. Being well standing up comes in handy when you're in a hurry or going to the bathroom somewhere where you shouldn't be. You have a brain that's three times the size of a woman's. It's science. It's culturally acceptable for you to roll up tobacco leaves into a big cylinder, light it on fire and stick it in your mouth. You can have an entire conversation with your best friend just by saying what's up bro? What's up That bad, huh? Take one of these. Your facial hair is considered attractive. Forget to shave for a couple of days and suddenly you go from a six to a solid eight. Your extensive knowledge of all subjects allows you to graciously explain things to women. You're welcome. You can wear the same shirt for thirty-eight years. You don't have to be a slave to fashion when you have the perfect T-shirt for every occasion. You make more money than a woman for doing the same job. Being a man comes with an automatic pay raise. Huh. Payday. You are biblically allowed to speak in church. Plus, your wife has to do everything you say all the time. Pretty sure it's in the Bible somewhere. You have a reduced chance of Joe Biden sniffing you. Not zero chance, unfortunately. So be careful. Only men are allowed to be president. No glass ceiling here. If you want, you can be the world's strongest woman. Get it, girl? Yeah, being a man's pretty great. If you can think of any other ways that being a man is awesome, leave them in the comments down below so I can not read them. Because I'm a man. Exercise your God-given right to be a man and get 10 Mui Macho top-rated premium cigars from Oliva for $19.99. We will. Absolutely brilliant. I absolutely love that. Go on, what are your thoughts on it? Well, it's one word. It's one word to the whole thing, fact.   It's so good. It is Babylon Bee, I heard Seth Dillon speak at a conference I went to in Miami in February, and he just blew the whole conference event away. Actually, phenomenal what he's doing, love it. And if I could just leave our viewers with one picture, and this is this, a climatard. You may not have come across it, but a climatard is a person that believes that climate can be changed by paying a CO tax to the government. Don't believe it, it is nonsense. Ben, I appreciate you coming along always. Love chatting with you. Thank you so much for your time this evening. Thanks, Peter. It's a great honour to be invited back. I'm gonna go off now and smoke a cigar. I feel like doing the same. To our viewers and listeners, thank you so much for tuning in, whether you're watching on any of the platforms or watching later on BitChute Odysee or listening on Podbean around the podcasting apps, listening on the go. Thank you so much for being part of the conversation. And on Monday, we have, I'm just looking at my list, Tina Ramirez, who is standing in the Virginia Senate. I met her last year, absolutely phenomenal individual, what she's done for religious freedom, liberty, all around the world for decades. And she is standing, bringing her wealth of knowledge to the Senate there in Virginia. So tune in on Monday for her thoughts on a range of issues and what she is passionate about and why she is standing there in the State Senate in Virginia. But I wish you all a wonderful rest of your Saturday evening. Have a wonderful Sunday. I will be back with you on Monday. So thank you and good evening to you all.

Ben Harnwell, International Editor of 'Bannon's War Room' and host of 'War Room: Rome' returns to Hearts of Oak to give us his analysis of the past weeks doom and gloom in the news, articles and from his social media, and there is plenty to get stuck into including... - The funeral of Pope Benedict XVI. - Vote for House Majority leader in Congress, McCarthy finally becomes speaker after 15th ballot. - Matt Gaetz voting for President Donald J. Trump is proof 2023 is going to be a year of change and standing up to the left. - Broken Britain: Paramedics told to drop patients at A&E even if no beds are available. - Critics say a new media law signed by Zelensky could restrict press freedom in Ukraine. - Biden administration announces nearly $4B in new military aid for Ukraine. - RFK Jr: "Your chance of dying of a heart attack from that vaccine, according to their own studies, is 500% greater than if you're unvaccinated" - Covid in China: Wave of celebrity deaths sparks doubt over actual toll. - Andrew Tate and his arrest as part of rape and human trafficking probe in Romania. In the two years between December 2006 and December 2008, Benjamin Harnwell was engaged in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Dignity, consulting widely with various experts around the world. This work was drawn to a conclusion on 8 December 2008, when (with Gay Mitchell MEP) he founded the European Parliament's Working Group on Human Dignity (of which he remains Honorary Secretary); and on the same date, simultaneously established (with Nirj Deva MEP) the Dignitatis Humanae Institute (of which he is Director). The Working Group was publicly launched on 25 March 2009 by European Parliament Speaker Dr. Hans-Gert Pöttering MEP (now a Patron of the Dignitatis Humanae Institute). The DHI has since been engaged in launching parallel parliamentary working groups on human dignity in various legislatures around the world, all based on the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Dignity. Ben was the Chief of Staff to Nirj Deva MEP until the end of 2010, since which point he is now based permanently in Rome, directing the development of the DHI. When involved in politics, he was an active member of the British Conservative Party for over 15 years. Benjamin identifies himself philosophically as an Austro-libertarian, co-founding (with Vincent de Roeck) the European Parliament's Mises Circle, which exists to promote greater recognition of the Austrian School of Economics; he also co-founded the international Right Approach Group (with Patrick Barron), to explore free-market solutions to contemporary problems. In 2002 and 2004, Ben was seconded to Colombo as Special Advisor to Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. H.E. Mons. Sánchez Sorondo, Bishop Chancellor of the Pontifical Academies of Science and Social Sciences, appointed Ben External Counsellor in 2016.

Welcome to "The Week According To . . .", where we take a meander through some of the news, articles and stories that have piqued our interest or made our blood boil this week and we are excited to welcome a brand new guest, the host of 'WarRoom: Rome' and international editor of Steve Bannon's 'WarRoom', the number 1 ranked US political podcast.  Plenty to get stuck into as we hear Ben's thoughts on..... - Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's U-turn on plans to scrap 45p tax rate. - Winter is Coming: 'All eventualities planned for' on energy this winter, says government which 'does not expect blackouts'. - Victory was sweet for Italy's incoming right-wing leader but 7 nightmares are in the making for Italy's Giorgia Meloni. - Meloni furious after France vows to monitor rule of law. - Pull the udder one! Ugandan president apologizes for general son who offered 100 cows to marry Giorgia Meloni. - Pretender in Chief Biden is still not at all popular among the public and we can't think why!! - Claims that the Democrats are operating a series of 51 'fake news' websites pushing left-wing stories in a bid to turn the midterms in their favour. - Teacher sent to prison because he would not call 'a boy a girl' spends his first night in custody isolated from general prison population. - Campaigner, friend and regular on Hearts of Oak, Caroline Farrow is deprived of her liberty in an 'unnecessary and undignified way' as she is arrested in front of her traumatised children. - Top robot companies pledge not to add weapons to their tech to avoid harm risk. - Is it a bird? Is it a plane? ... No, it's a PfizerMan! US pharma giant partners with Marvel to create comic that urges children to get their Covid vaccine and be an 'everyday hero'. In the two years between December 2006 and December 2008, Benjamin Harnwell was engaged in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Dignity, consulting widely with various experts around the world. This work was drawn to a conclusion on 8 December 2008, when (with Gay Mitchell MEP) he founded the European Parliament's Working Group on Human Dignity (of which he remains Honorary Secretary); and on the same date, simultaneously established (with Nirj Deva MEP) the Dignitatis Humanae Institute (of which he is Director). The Working Group was publicly launched on 25 March 2009 by European Parliament Speaker Dr. Hans-Gert Pöttering MEP (now a Patron of the Dignitatis Humanae Institute). The DHI has since been engaged in launching parallel parliamentary working groups on human dignity in various legislatures around the world, all based on the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Dignity. Ben was the Chief of Staff to Nirj Deva MEP until the end of 2010, since which point he is now based permanently in Rome, directing the development of the DHI. When involved in politics, he was an active member of the British Conservative Party for over 15 years. Benjamin identifies himself philosophically as an Austro-libertarian, co-founding (with Vincent de Roeck) the European Parliament's Mises Circle, which exists to promote greater recognition of the Austrian School of Economics; he also co-founded the international Right Approach Group (with Patrick Barron), to explore free-market solutions to contemporary problems. In 2002 and 2004, Ben was seconded to Colombo as Special Advisor to Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. H.E. Mons. Sánchez Sorondo, Bishop Chancellor of the Pontifical Academies of Science and Social Sciences, appointed Ben External Counsellor in 2016. Since February 2018 Harnwell, as director of the DHI, is also the director of the Abbey of Trisulti, founded in AD 1204 and National Monument of Italy since 1873. From October 2021 to date Ben serves as international editor at “Steve Bannon's WarRoom” and host of "WarRoom: Rome" on the number 1 ranked US political podcast.

In questa edizione di parla di: Piano nazionale di ripresa e resilienza; il Dante di Andrea del Castagno; la Certosa di Trisulti; il Premio Nazionale del Paesaggio

Senza vergogna.  Ma voi ve lo ricordate Steve Bannon?... Dai su, fate un piccolo sforzo…ma si che ve lo ricordate…era l'amministratore di Breitbart, sito di riferimento per l'alt-right… ex consigliere politico di Trump…Bannon è quello che ha ha profondi legami anche con l'Italia…anzi non con l'Italia…ma con alcuni italiani…con Giorgia…con Matteo…quale Matteo?...ah si vero, ce ne sono due di Matteo…Matteo quello che usa le felpe e le Mascherine per gli spot pubblicitari …insomma Bannon…il tizio di cui ci parlò Report, quello che ha legami con gli ultra conservatori cattolici americani, con gli oligarchi russi, quelli che dicono che il posto delle donne è a casa, quelli che vorrebbero mandare a casa Papa Francesco e che riconoscono come vero papa l'altro, quello che aveva preso in gestione l'abbazia duecentesca della Certosa di Trisulti con l'organizzazione Dignitatis Humanae Institute, che fa capo proprio a Bannon, con lo scopo di crearvi una scuola politica di estrema destra.  Insomma quello Steve Bennon, quello che si è "appropriato" di due spicci…per la precisione 25 milioni di dollari destinati alla costruzione del muro Anti immigrazione…che volete che siano 25 milioni di dollari? Quello che per questo motivo era finito in carcere…  Ha ricevuto la grazia…"uno che si fotte 25 milioni di dollari, riceve la grazia? E per giunta negli USA?"...direte voi…"eh sì" vi dico io… "e chi può dare la grazia ad un delinquente del genere?"..."solo Biden, potrebbe fare una cosa del genere" ari-direte voi… "invece no" vi ri-dico io, non è stato affatto Biden, ma Trump come ultimo atto da Presidente degli Stati Uniti d'America ha dato la grazia a 73 persone tra cui Bannon.  …e sapete con quale motivazione?: "Bannon è stato un importante leader nel movimento conservatore ed è noto per il suo acume politico". Capito? Se sei un leader del movimento conservatore e ti conoscono per il tuo acume politico, negli USA ti puoi anche fottere 25 milioni di dollari…tanto poi Trump ti da la grazia.  Se c'è una cosa che mi piace dei sovranisti, della destra estrema, degli ultra conservatori è che sono privi di vergogna…sono per la famiglia tradizionale, ma non si sposano, hanno amanti e figli fuori dal matrimonio…sono devoti credenti, ma sono razzisti…parlano di solidarietà, ma poi aiutano solo i ricchi…  Sono proprio senza vergogna…forse perché la vergogna è un sentimento umano e sta gente di umano non ha proprio niente.

In questa puntata vi racconteremo l’avventura e la rete di relazioni in Europa di Steve Bannon. Il guru americano del populismo, dopo il licenziamento da parte di Trump, si è mosso tra Bruxelles e l’abbazia di Trisulti, vicino Roma, dove ha impiantato la sua “scuola di sovranismo” (non senza controversie) . Il suo The Movement non è riuscito a federare le destre nazionaliste in Europa, ma ha sicuramente aperto la strada che altri stanno percorrendo. Sarà Matteo Salvini, alleato in Europa di Marine Le Pen, a coalizzare l’ampio schieramento a destra dei Popolari? O toccherà invece ai partiti raggruppati in ECR (i Conservatori e Riformisti europei) far guardare i popolari verso destra? E dove si collocheranno i tanti partiti nazional-populisti e anti-Ue - dai Veri Finlandesi ai Democratici Svedesi fino allo spagnolo Vox? Ne parliamo con: -Carlo Fidanza, parlamentare di Fratelli d’Italia e candidato all’europarlamento per la circoscrizione Italia Nord Ovest-Carlo Muzzi, giornalista del Giornale di Brescia e autore di Euroscettici, Quali sono e cosa vogliono i movimenti contrari all’Unione Europa, Le Monnier (in libreria dal 16 maggio) Riferimenti •Joshua Green, Il Diavolo Steve Bannon e la conquista del potere, Febbraio 2019 Luiss University Press•Report http://www.rai.it/programmi/report/inchieste/Tu-vuo-fa-lamericano-d95cddc5-d66b-423c-bbd7-8002c6fe29ef.html?fbclid=IwAR06MxOkkgbwwn5DW3TIT2_7w_oULvVfG88ohFreqwX--HQH0h8HqvcRDqs •Piazza Pulita http://www.rai.it/programmi/report/inchieste/Tu-vuo-fa-lamericano-d95cddc5-d66b-423c-bbd7-8002c6fe29ef.html?fbclid=IwAR06MxOkkgbwwn5DW3TIT2_7w_oULvVfG88ohFreqwX--HQH0h8HqvcRDqs

The remote religious retreat which has become the intellectual spearhead of Steve Bannon’s plans for a populist revolution in Europe. Edward Stourton visits the Trisulti monastery in Italy from where the vision of the former chief strategist to Donald Trump is being spread. Kate Adie introduces this and other stories from correspondents around the world. Lois Pryce is in Jamaica. As the battle against gang violence continues, and soldiers patrol some of its streets, she visits a village which claims to have almost no crime at all. Nick Thorpe examines plans to boost the fertility rate in Hungary with cash and cars on offer for people willing to do their patriotic duty and make babies. Sarah Treanor meets a young Muslim woman in Zanzibar who is flying drones to map the island and help save lives. And Mike Thomson discovers that there are limits to the President's power in Liberia. He watches George Weah play football, have lunch and fail to get a flight delayed.

Chi è Steve Bannon e perché si è installato sugli Appennini? La popolazione locale ha marciato contro l’«accademia dell’internazionale sovranista» all’interno del monastero di Trisulti (in provincia di Frosinone), che una fondazione oltranzista si è aggiudicata. Sarà il «covo di un supercattivo»? L’ex stratega di Donald Trump intende investire, si parla di 2 milioni di euro, per scompaginare gli equilibri nell’Europarlamento, federando — e sostenendo — i partiti populisti del Continente. Forse stiamo sopravvalutando la potenza di fuoco di una setta macchiettistica, ma gli abboccamenti ci sono: in Italia, con Lega e FdI. Scavando nella sua biografia si capisce che il fondatore di “Breitbart” non è uno sprovveduto qualsiasi: se si convince di poter smantellare l’UE da un quartier generale nella Penisola, c’è qualche ragione per allarmarsi. + episodio sponsorizzato da #instapolitica: https://www.instagram.com/_instapolitica_/ + Una biografia essenziale di Bannon, a cura di Mauro Indelicato: http://www.occhidellaguerra.it/chi-e-steve-bannon/ Lo «sbarco» nel continente dell'ex stratega di Trump: https://www.corriere.it/politica/18_settembre_07/che-cos-the-movement-fondazione-europea-steve-bannon-cui-ha-aderito-anche-salvini-703e001e-b2b4-11e8-af77-790d0c049f1d.shtml# Le premonizioni sul governo giallo-verde: https://www.corriere.it/esteri/18_ottobre_22/steve-bannon-l-italia-centro-dell-universo-politico-ma-governo-ora-aggiusti-bilancio-718bb082-d57e-11e8-aaed-2b3ed62ff47b.shtml# I proclami visionari di fine anno, in un'intervista al “Corriere”: https://www.corriere.it/esteri/18_dicembre_29/a-casa-steve-bannon-nella-mia-scuola-formero-agenti-populismo-salvini-maio-ottimi-6abfc2d8-0bad-11e9-aa07-eb4c2c5595dd.shtml# La protesta in Ciociaria contro l'«accademia dell'internazionale sovranista»: https://www.ilmessaggero.it/italia/certosa_trisulti_marcia_accademia_sovranista_steve_bannon-4199547.html oppure https://www.tpi.it/2019/01/04/bannon-trisulti-accademia-sovranismo/ (l'audio sulla marcia proviene invece dal TG1 del 29 dicembre 2018) Due analisi di “Jacobin”, voce di riferimento della nuova sinistra statunitense: Il mondo secondo Bannon, una visione radicata nei «cicli» della storia Usa: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/02/bannon-trump-muslim-travel-ban-breitbart-generation-zero Importare la ricetta populista a sinistra è una cosa sensata?: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2018/03/left-populism-mouffe-fassin-france-insoumise La copertina dell'episodio proviene dal n. 24 della rivista: https://jacobinmag.com/2017/02/steve-bannons-autobahn
