Steve Bannon Demands People Have More 'Judeo-Christian' Babies To 'Save Civilization' In Unhinged Rant

Former President Donald Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon demanded people have more "Judeo-Christian" babies so these children could be "trained" in order to "save civilization."

Bannon made the remarks after Real America's Voice correspondent Ben Harnwell claimed "militant secularization" is responsible for an ongoing "fertility crisis" in France.


You can hear what Bannon said in the video below.

Noting French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel do not have children, Bannon offered his solution to Harnwell's complaint:

"Hey, if you want to save the Judeo-Christian west, if you want to save civilization, start by having babies. Simple. Stat there. We'll train them up. We'll get it done but let's start by having babies."

Bannon's remarks appear to be a reference to a report earlier this year from French state-owned international news television network France24, which noted the number of babies born in France in January "fell by 13 percent, the biggest drop in 45 years," a development researchers have linked, at least in part, to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

That's a significant turnabout from 2015, when a United Nations policy brief noted "France's total fertility rate (TFR) stabilized in the mid-1970s and has remained consistently at around 1.82.0 children per women ever since."

However, birth rates in France have declined for some time now, a fact The Economistreported on as early as 2018.

Bannon has for years embraced the White nationalist movement in the United States while pushing replacement theory, a conspiracy theory that states White European populations and their descendants are being demographically and culturally replaced with non-European peoples.

Indeed, Bannon has been accused of having a "Nazi problem" in the past, and his comments bring to mind the Lebensborn program, the Nazi Party's plan to increase Germany's declining birthrate of Aryan children by people classified as "racially pure" and "healthy" based on Nazi racial hygiene and health ideology.

His latest remarks have been widely condemned, with many pointing out they are further evidence of his White supremacist views.









Bannon's remarks come amid significant legal trouble.

Bannon was recently charged with contempt of Congess for refusing to cooperate with a House investigation into the January 6 insurrection, a fact he has claimed is evidence of a smear plot against him.

The House Select Committee believes Bannon has useful information crucial to the investigation, in particular relating to his involvement in a meeting with Trump allies at a Washington hotel the evening before the attack.

Prosecutors have criticized Bannon, saying he is trying to make his case a trial by media “rather than in court.”

The prosecution’s comments came after Bannon’s defense requested the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s office unseal all evidence in the case, including grand jury testimony.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
