Deployed to Afghanistan

||
| Islamic jihadis are plotting against you. | ||
| Why in the hell you think they're in Houston and the north of Dallas? | ||
| They are working together to overthrow Western civilization. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sharia compounds, which are areas governed by religious rules. | |
| We know who you are, we know what you are, and we know what you're trying to accomplish. | ||
| And it is not going to happen in the jewel of the crown of the union of this republic. | ||
| We purge any attempt to impose Sharia law in Texas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Amaz coming. | |
| They are already here. | ||
| You are not here properly, and you're going to leave. | ||
| On the 3rd of March, Sharia law goes on the ballot in the state of Texas. | ||
| The United States Constitution and Sharia are fundamentally at odds with one another. | ||
| We're going to tell them, take your Sharia law and shove it. | ||
|

|
Islam will never dominate the United States. | |
| And by the grace of God, it will not dominate Texas. | ||
| As Texas goes, so goes the nation. | ||
| As the nation goes, so goes the world. | ||
| Are you prepared to fight for this state? | ||
| Are you prepared to fight for your country? | ||
| War Room, Texas. | ||
| We're your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Starts right now. | ||
| Thursday, 22 January, Euroverlord, 2026. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And thank you for supporting the show and pushing it out. | ||
| The streaming numbers are absolutely off the charts. | ||
| Much bigger start than even I thought we'd do. | ||
| And it's because people have a real appetite for this information. | ||
| We'll start today. | ||
| We're packed for this hour. | ||
| I want to start with Aaron Wright's. | ||
| Aaron, first off, you're an Aggie, right? | ||
| Talk to me about you're a Corps cadet at Texas A ⁇ M. | ||
| Yeah, sure was. | ||
| Wife and I from San Antonio went to Texas A ⁇ M on a Marine Corps ROTC scholarship. | ||
| Not to age myself, Steve. | ||
| I know my hairstyle gives away a little bit, but 9-11 happened when I was a freshman in high school and went to A ⁇ M on a Marine Corps RTC scholarship, commissioned as an officer, went to Afghanistan, deployed to the northern Hellman province of Afghanistan, then went to law school, but I'm still in the reserve as a major. | ||
| So you've seen this firsthand. | ||
| Obviously, I had a big impression on you as a young boy. | ||
| And then the go-to A ⁇ M, which, you know, my daughter graduated from West Point. | ||
| I will tell you the respect they have for the Corps of Cadets in Texas A ⁇ M. You guys are kind of old school, kind of old school down there, the way you run it. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| We're proud of the fact that you're way more hardcore than the academies, brother. | ||
| No, I think I would say A ⁇ M and even the Citadel or probably the Academy were saying, in particular, the kind of woke area the Academy went through. | ||
| My daughter just joined the board of visitors there for president, one of President Trump's representative, and she will tell you first on that A ⁇ M is old school. | ||
| So you deployed to Afghanistan. | ||
| Talk to me about your experience there, particularly with the civilization and the culture, sir. | ||
| Yeah, so I deployed with my battalion, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines, nicknamed the Magnificent Bastards. | ||
| And we got there in the fall of 2011. | ||
| We left in the spring of 2012. | ||
| I was assigned to our battalion's embedded training team. | ||
| And so I actually lived with the Afghan National Army on the Afghan side of our Marine Ford operating base in the northern Hellman province. | ||
| And look, what I saw, were there some good guys that were there that were sadly born in the Stone Age? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But at the end of the day, what I saw in Afghanistan and what we see more broadly in the Islamic world is we see anti-civilizational forces at play that are informed by their religious and cultural views. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Anywhere Islam is on the march, anywhere you see a Muslim majority country, you see chaos, you see crime, disorganization, oppression, chaos, disease, economic stagnation and decline. | ||
| You see nothing but anti-civilizational forces. | ||
| I saw this firsthand. | ||
| Look, Steve, I went to Afghanistan as a true believer back then that all we needed to do was to go kill a few bad guys and that at the end of the day, we would hand out pocket constitutions and pocket declarations of independence. | ||
| And then all of a sudden, Afghanistan, Iraq, all of these other countries would just become Western overnight. | ||
| But when I got there, all of the scales fell off my eyes. | ||
| And I realized that the very soil composition of the culture and civilization that we were operating in would not allow for civilization to even take root. | ||
| The soil in the West is the kind of soil that gives rise to flourishing civilizations. | ||
| It's Christendom that gives rise to advanced and prosperous and flourishing civilization. | ||
| It is the dark flag of the crescent moon that when it rises over a region or a country, darkness falls. | ||
| And I saw it firsthand living with the Afghan National Army. | ||
| This wasn't just for me an academic experience. | ||
| I lived it. | ||
| And wherever that crescent moon rises, you see darkness fall. | ||
| And what's happening in the United States and in particular in Texas is you see that crescent moon trying to replace old glory. | ||
| And as the next Attorney General of Texas, it is absolutely not going to happen. | ||
| We're going to roll back the invasion. | ||
| We're going to engage in a counter jihad and we are going to till the American soil to make sure that Western civilization, that Christendom can really flourish here in Texas. | ||
| Major, I think this was so important. | ||
| I want to go back to that time because as I tell people all the time, the Aaron Wrights', the Mo Bannons, these are all volunteers. | ||
| And the greatest generation would tell you, the bulk of folks in World War II were draftees, right? | ||
| There's tons of volunteers at the beginning and there were volunteers during the thing, but it was a drafty army. | ||
| Just like in Vietnam, that was a drafty army. | ||
| You were drafted. | ||
| You really didn't have a choice. | ||
| Here, everybody that signed up thought they knew what they were getting into. | ||
| And these were true believers. | ||
| Mo's class at West Point, she got out in 10 and went deployed in 11 or deployed in 10, I think also. | ||
| You talk to me about that. | ||
| This just wasn't Aaron Wrights or just overall, it was a pretty shocking experience culturally for the folks that signed up to fight for the country when they really got over there and saw the difference of what the media was saying and the difference on the ground of what was actually happening. | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
| Look, we use this word true believer. | ||
|
Conditions For Flourishing
00:03:24
|
||
| Like I was a true believer in this doctrine of foreign intervention, take care, you know, cut the head off of the beast. | ||
| And all of a sudden, the entire world can be westernized, Americanized, and that they're just yearning for a constitutional republic. | ||
| Here's the thing about American history. | ||
| American history didn't just spring up out of nowhere. | ||
| Our culture, our Western civilization, American culture, our Constitution, our declaration, our constitutional Republican small R values didn't just come out of nothing. | ||
| All those things, everything that we enjoy today was informed by centuries and centuries of well-developed language, history, culture, art, religion, values, ethics, family structure, gender role, all these sorts of things fed into what we now enjoy as the greatest country that world history that humankind has ever seen. | ||
| And I use this soil analogy very intentionally because there are certain plants, there are certain trees that can take root in certain soils, and those same trees or plants can't take root in other soils. | ||
| And so the Western and American soil, the culture, the civilization, the language, the history, the art, the music, the religious views, all of these things are what set the conditions for a beautiful flourishing flower, a beautiful American tree to take root and grow and create an environment for human flourishing to exist. | ||
| The soil composition in other parts of the world cannot give rise to those same kinds of fruits. | ||
| And so what we see in the Islamic world is we see a soil in which advanced civilization, free thinking, human expression, ethics, integrity, economic development, artistic development, all the sort of markers of civilization, they simply can't take root. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because the soil composition's not there, no matter how hard you try. | ||
| Now, what we see with the influx, the invasion of third worlders that kicked up really in the mid-60s with the Hart Seller Immigration Act, and then especially from the Muslim world after 9-11, is we see that rootless soil, that salted soil getting transported from the Muslim world to the Western and American world. | ||
| And we think that it's going to provide the conditions for human flourishing, but really it doesn't. | ||
| So I went there as a true believer thinking that we'd be able to get the thing done. | ||
| But I looked at this civilization in the eye and I concluded with absolute certainty that these are anti-civilizational forces that cannot be redeemed by military action or unassimilated invasions into the Western world. | ||
| And look, one of my things that's motivating me to run for Attorney General is to preserve that soil composition, preserve our American culture, preserve Western civilization to fight against the anti-Western, anti-Christian, anti-American forces that are invading our country. | ||
|
Texas Crown Jewel Race
00:15:48
|
||
| And in particular, as you often say, Steve, view Texas as the crown jewel that they want to capture. | ||
| And when I'm Attorney General, it is not going to happen. | ||
| Well, let's bring that up to the president. | ||
| I mean, as I said, in getting it back at this and thinking through and getting people to come to the conference and Geert Wilderss and Warroom, Texas, this is just not something that happened. | ||
| And this is not really something in the, like the second law of thermodynamics. | ||
| This is actually well thought through. | ||
| They're focused on Texas for a reason. | ||
| Texas is the crown jewel. | ||
| It embodies everything. | ||
| You talk about the soil, the tree of liberty, of individualism, of using your agency, of having the working class and middle class actually have a shot. | ||
| It's what Texas, that brand is throughout the world. | ||
| This Texas, this invasion of Texas is very well thought through. | ||
| And so the question is, given your unique background in this, for someone that happens to be running now, what is your plan to support Governor Abbott? | ||
| You know, he's declared the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE a terrorist organization. | ||
| He's actually said he's got to put more meat on that bone. | ||
| There's all this about investigations. | ||
| You now, on March 3rd, we're going to have overwhelming support for Proposition 10 to ban Sharia law in the state of Texas. | ||
| What is it, Major Aaron Wright's United States Marine Corps Reserve's plan for this? | ||
| I've always said, Steve, that I want to treat the Islamists in Texas just like the feds treated the mafia in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. | ||
| Ask yourself this. | ||
| How many mob bosses did we put behind bars for committing murder? | ||
| The answer is not many. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because they were extremely sophisticated and were smart enough to hide their money and wipe their fingerprints off the weapon. | ||
| What did the feds do? | ||
| Is they choked them out with investigations and lawsuits and prosecutions over all the various process crimes and financial crimes, tax fraud, money laundering, racketeering, human trafficking, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, all these kinds of process financial crimes, creating a bramble bush of smoke that prevented the mafia from even being able to breathe, such that they suffocated to death. | ||
| And now we live in a world where the mafia is all but irrelevant and the most we hear about it are on the big screen. | ||
| I'm going to do the same thing with the Islamic invasion in Texas. | ||
| These are very sophisticated actors. | ||
| You're not going to catch them with the murder weapon necessarily. | ||
| You're not going to catch them saying, I hereby declare an imposition of Sharia law. | ||
| Instead, what you're going to do is you're going to find that they have committed, that they've laundered their money through a vast network of 501c3s, 501c4s, corporate entities, shell entities, political candidates, public grants, all of these sorts of things they have embedded in. | ||
| And the Attorney General has unique power to investigate all of these entities, to litigate against all of them, to make referrals to the federal government. | ||
| As somebody who just came from the senior ranks of the Justice Department as the presidentially appointed Senate confirmed head of the Office of Legal Policy, I stand uniquely positioned to work with Attorney General Bondi, Secretary Noam, Stephen Miller, Tom Holman, the Borders Art, the White House, the president, all of these entities to align our resources to stop the invasion, shut down the crime, break the Islamic syndicate in Texas, and get rid of them just like the feds treated the mafia. | ||
| I'm uniquely suited to do that because I am the only one in this race that has actually wielded those weapons to advance liberty, to advance the Constitution, and to stop bad guys like this. | ||
| So not only am I going to promise that we're going to get it done, Steve, but I'm the only one in this race who has a record actually getting it done in the justice system. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play. | ||
| You've got a 30-second spot. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play it before you bounce. | ||
| Islam is not compatible with Western civilization. | ||
| I'm Aaron Reitz, and that's just one lesson I learned as a Marine in Afghanistan. | ||
| But politicians have imported millions of Muslims into our country. | ||
| The result, more terrorism, more crime, and they even want their own illegal cities in Texas to impose Sharia law. | ||
| Not on my watch. | ||
| I'm Aaron Reit. | ||
| As Attorney General, I will stop the invasion and defend our Christian values. | ||
| For Attorney General Aaron Reitz. | ||
| Major, do you think people are awakening to what this issue is? | ||
| Oh, absolutely, Steve. | ||
| And it's because of guys like you. | ||
| But I'll tell you, I'm on the road six, seven days a week, hitting multiple counties per day. | ||
| The number one issue in the grassroots right now is the Islamic invasion. | ||
| They are finally realizing their plans have been revealed. | ||
| Their blueprints have been exposed. | ||
| Their intents have been made manifest. | ||
| And now conservatives are aware of what they have been secretly operating under the radar for way too long. | ||
| They have now been exposed. | ||
| And it's because of guys like you, Steve. | ||
| And there's a huge reason why this has been a number one campaign issue from the day that I announced for AG, and it is resonating with the grassroots because they understand this is not just a political threat. | ||
| This isn't just a dispute over marginal tax rates or certain other regulatory disagreements. | ||
| Although those are important things, this dispute is civilizational, existential, and spiritual in nature. | ||
| And they want somebody who is going to go to war. | ||
| And I'm going to, I have led legal troops into legal combat to deliver legal victories. | ||
| They know this is a problem. | ||
| It's resonating. | ||
| It's not just an astroturf fake issue. | ||
| People care about it, and I'm going to deliver on the promises to stop it. | ||
| Major, where can people go to find out your schedule, where they can meet you in public, debates, all of that, where they go? | ||
| Well, folks who start on my website, aaronrights.com, A-A-R-O-N-R-E-I-T-Z.com. | ||
| And folks can follow me on all social media, Aaron underscore rights, A-A-R-O-N underscore R-E-I-T-Z, or just search for me. | ||
| I'm on all the major platforms, and I look forward to earning folks' support. | ||
| I keep people, I keep everybody updated where I'm at. | ||
| Follow me on the campaign trail, and I look forward to earning all Texans' support for this race for Attorney General. | ||
| Major, thank you for the fight that you are in right now. | ||
| And thank you for coming on. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| Major Aaron Wrights, United States Marine Corps Reserve, and Aggie. | ||
| Tough Corps of Cadets down there. | ||
| Let me tell you, very tough. | ||
| A war room posse favorite, Lee Wamskant. | ||
| Lee, I'm kind of stunned that we're given all the effort and all the focus and your amazing victory many months ago that we're really talking about. | ||
| We're really talking about your election is going to be on the actual voting for the final is going to be next Tuesday, I believe. | ||
| Going on now. | ||
| And, you know, I'm issuing a red alert to Republicans in Senate District 9 for your national viewers. | ||
| You know, Tarrant County is the largest red county in the nation. | ||
| It has a population that's larger than 15 states. | ||
| So it is a major target of the left. | ||
| And Beto Rourke's organization, powered by people. | ||
| That's the same organization that Ken Paxton sued for allegedly illegally contributing to Democrats who were fleeing our state trying to avoid a redistricting vote. | ||
| That organization used to say these things behind the scenes, and now they're saying the quiet part out loud. | ||
| And that is that they are using this January election as their pilot program for turning Texas blue in November. | ||
| You and I both know special elections, Republicans generally underperform and Democrats generally overperform. | ||
| We're seeing that on the ground. | ||
| We had over 12,000 voters in Tarrant County yesterday. | ||
| 44% have Republican voter history. | ||
| 41% have Democrat voter history. | ||
| The margins are very tight. | ||
| This is a red alert to Republicans to get out and vote. | ||
| And tomorrow, Friday is an early voting day, 8 to 5. | ||
| And the concerning thing is Republicans have jobs. | ||
| And so usually Saturday would be a big Republican voting day. | ||
| Well, we're looking at an ice storm coming in overnight Friday night. | ||
| So we're encouraging Republicans to get out and vote early tomorrow, which is Friday. | ||
| Polls are open 8 to 5. | ||
| You would have won with a majority the way the rules are, but they had a last second kind of not a traditional, kind of a phony conservative come into the race. | ||
| Are you making inroads and talking to those people to make sure that you have an overwhelming victory here? | ||
| So sure. | ||
| The next day after that November race, I had 17 texts that morning and I have people walking houses for me that were previously supporting another Republican. | ||
| Listen, this is just like a primary. | ||
| You know, after primaries, Republicans need to come together. | ||
| We would have won outright in November. | ||
| And what we've done by splitting the vote in November, because it was a jungle election with no primary. | ||
| So what we have done now is we have exacerbated the problem, emboldened the left. | ||
| People were very surprised. | ||
| This has been historically a 60-40 Republican district, and the Democrat in November got 48%. | ||
| Part of that is because you had two Republicans running it like a primary, sort of attacking each other, and no one was attacking the Democrat. | ||
| This Democrat has been a wolf in sheep's clothing saying he's a moderate. | ||
| Listen, this guy donated to the Harris Walls campaign 21 times, donated to AOC, I believe six times, gave to Jasmine Crockett. | ||
| This guy is no moderate. | ||
| He's anti-Second Amendment, pro-open borders. | ||
| He is the opposite of what we need in Texas. | ||
| Talk to, let's go back. | ||
| I want to go back to this organization because there's no way this guy could possibly win, given where he stands, just the lack of dynamism. | ||
| This is driven by these outside groups, and they're using this as a testbed. | ||
| Remember, their relentless focus is to turn Texas blue. | ||
| If they turn Texas blue, forget anything else. | ||
| You're going to lose not just the House. | ||
| You'll never win the presidency again. | ||
| This is why Texas, I keep referring to as the jewel in the crown of the union. | ||
| Walk me through this, this group. | ||
| What is their strategy? | ||
| How politically lethal are they, ma'am? | ||
| They're being very politically effective, and they're throwing all kinds of dark money in. | ||
| The problem is they've bust people in. | ||
| They're going door to door. | ||
| They're talking to everyone. | ||
| They're trying to flip Republican voters by saying that this Democrat is a moderate. | ||
| And that is a big problem. | ||
| The misinformation campaign is very strong. | ||
| We have to get the truth out. | ||
| But the big part of this is Republicans are not showing up in the numbers that Democrats are showing up. | ||
| And that is, you know, traditionally, historically, you know, sort of the pattern. | ||
| And we can't have that happen this time. | ||
| The importance of winning this state senate race in January is if the Democrats win, it will embolden them and it will make all of our Republicans jobs even harder to win in November. | ||
| They'll throw twice as much at them. | ||
| We have to win this race in January. | ||
| To give you an example of the balance of power, the state of Texas, big state. | ||
| We've got 31 million people. | ||
| We have 31 state senators. | ||
| Right now, that balance of power in our state is 20 Republicans and 11 Democrats. | ||
| Out of those 20 Republicans, five seats are open for the first time in history. | ||
| That's five Republican senators retired, took other jobs. | ||
| They're running for other things. | ||
| We both know open seats are harder to win, and we both know Democrats know that. | ||
| So what we're looking at, if you do the math, if you take five away from the 20, add it over to the 11, that turns it into a Democrat, Republican, a Democrat power Senate. | ||
| Now, even if they take a few of those seats, you know, our Senate requires a supermajority. | ||
| That means they can stop all good legislation and pass bad legislation. | ||
| This is the war for the heart and soul of Texas. | ||
| And I need Republicans to wake up and come out and show up in force and vote for the Republican on the ballot. | ||
| That's me, Lee Wamsky. | ||
| I have over 34 years experience fighting for conservative policy and legislation. | ||
| And I will go to Austin and I will make sure that our interests are held and that good laws are passed because we cannot afford to lose Texas. | ||
| Once again, how do people actually can they volunteer to be grassroots? | ||
| Because this is going to be a door-to-door campaign. | ||
| How do they volunteer? | ||
| How do they get involved? | ||
| And then where do people actually go to vote? | ||
| The early voting has started, but where do people go? | ||
| Give us the logistics of all of this right now. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So you can go to my website, leefortexas.com, and you can see all of the voting places. | ||
| There are 22 polling locations open right now. | ||
| Early voting is happening now, and it's going Friday from 8 to 5. | ||
| Saturday, 7 to 7. | ||
| Sunday, 10 to 4. | ||
| Monday and Tuesday, 7 to 7. | ||
| And election day is Saturday, January 31st. | ||
| Everyone is talking about primary, primary, primary. | ||
| This is a heart and soul battle for Tarrant County. | ||
| As Tarrant goes, so goes Texas. | ||
| The Democrats know that. | ||
| Beto O'Rourke knows that. | ||
| And that's why he is using my Democrat opponent and this race as his pilot program to turn Texas blue. | ||
| Who shows up wins? | ||
| Republicans did not show up yesterday. | ||
| We need them to show up today. | ||
| The rest of early voting don't wait till election day. | ||
| Lee, one more time. | ||
| Where do people go before I let you go? | ||
| Because this is it has national implications. | ||
| They're using this, as they say, they're using this as a testbed to roll out throughout the country. | ||
| We got to show them they're going to get beaten here. | ||
| Where do people go one more time? | ||
| Go to leefortexas.com. | ||
| Lee Womsgam, thank you so much. | ||
| Appreciate you and appreciate the fight. | ||
| You are a conservative to your very grassroots, ma'am. | ||
| Quite extraordinary. | ||
| A real fighter. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Okay, I think we're going to have Lee on again tomorrow, maybe even Saturday. | ||
| This is how important this is for next week. | ||
| This is kind of the kickoff, and you don't find a better person than Lee. | ||
| Two things. | ||
| Take your phone out right now. | ||
| Dial 972 Patriot. | ||
| Talk to what does the company say? | ||
| You're going to talk to somebody, a hillbilly with an East Texas accent in their customer service because they employ U.S. citizens. | ||
| This company is Christian-based, based on Christian values, and they support your values. | ||
| They support your values. | ||
| Glenn's story, Jenny's story, and the team, absolutely extraordinary folks. | ||
|
Patriot Mobile Ad
00:02:00
|
||
| They support the values of Christianity, and they do it in the marketplace of business, and they do it in the marketplace of politics through their PAC. | ||
| We're going to leave you now with music from the searchers. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Make sure everybody's got a chance to call 972-PATRIT, Patriot Mobile, sign up for the greatest, the best mobile phone service in the country. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||
| As Texas goes, so goes the nation. | ||
| As the nation goes, so goes the world. | ||
| Are you prepared to fight for this state? | ||
| Are you prepared to fight for your country? | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| We had a senator from Oklahoma on the great folks up in Broken Era, Oklahoma, showed you how this was done and shutting down an Islamic center. | ||
|
Arizona's Subject Matter Experts
00:15:24
|
||
| And they came together. | ||
| It's just magnificent. | ||
| It's a template for the whole country. | ||
| Now it's actually spread to Arizona. | ||
| I want to bring in Representative John Gillette from the great state of Arizona, a command sergeant major. | ||
| Sir, you represent Mojave County. | ||
| This is Kelly Ward's old district, I think, when she was active in daily politics. | ||
| And we'd love Kelly, known her for years. | ||
| Tell us what happened yesterday. | ||
| Your driving force of this. | ||
| Tell me what happened yesterday in the Arizona legislature, sir. | ||
| Well, sir, first of all, I want to thank you for having me on. | ||
| It's a great honor. | ||
| I follow your program. | ||
| I watch your show. | ||
| It's wonderful what you're doing. | ||
| The wards have always been great. | ||
| They represent our district well. | ||
| Mike was very involved in the GOP, as you know, and Kelly was one of our rock stars. | ||
| And I'm honored to be in this former seat of hers and carry out those duties now. | ||
| But as of yesterday, we designated two bills, the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE HCMs. | ||
| We'll send a letter to the White House encouraging President Trump and Congress to pass the legislation they're working on designating them a terrorist organization. | ||
| Talk to me about the hearing. | ||
| I understand we know some people that went to this. | ||
| It got a little contentious. | ||
| And this is what I would warn people in Texas about. | ||
| These folks just aren't going to go out without a fight. | ||
| There was, I believe, it was a little contentious. | ||
| And actually, some of the witnesses or some of the people that were there, I'm not saying they got accosted, but they had to be walked out under security to make sure that nothing happened. | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| So these radical Islamists proved our point. | ||
| They could not even come to a hearing and argue the merits of a bill based on the Holy Land case, based on FBI documents, based on proven fact of the organizational linkage between CARE, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and other terrorist organizations. | ||
| So the folks that testified, we had some really great speakers, subject matter experts on radical Islam and some local constituents, and they were threatened by people in the audience. | ||
| So we had to have security escort to them to their vehicle. | ||
| While these people testified that Islam is peaceful, they mean no harm, and their intent is clear. | ||
| They just want to be left alone for their First Amendment rights. | ||
| Yet they're threatening people in the audience, making our point, making our point that their form of Islam, the radical Islam, the jihadists, have a plan, a 100-year plan to take over the country by infiltrating all of our systems, our schools, our elected leadership positions from every level, from school board into Congress. | ||
| We see this with Omar and these other ones. | ||
| And we've got to put a stop to it. | ||
| There are direct linkages to Hamas. | ||
| UNRWA has received money from the people in this country. | ||
| UNRWA was part of the attacks in Israel. | ||
| And to say that there's no linkage and we should not designate them a terrorist organization is absurd. | ||
| We heard in testimony yesterday from the Democrats who all voted no on this bill that terrorism is a made-up word to cause fear. | ||
| It's a narrative to strike fear. | ||
| My rebuttal to that, we had two American soldiers, National Guard members, American soldiers on the street in Washington, D.C., our nation's capital, shot by a member of radical Islam, transported to this country by Joe Biden. | ||
| Now, if that's not the definition of terrorism, I don't know what is because he was here to enforce a political will of Sharia law and shot two American soldiers. | ||
| I don't know how much more citizen we need to see before we take action. | ||
| So, Representative Gillette, it was a 4-3 vote. | ||
| It was along party line, correct? | ||
| All the Democrats voted against this. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| The Democrats, we did have one. | ||
| They obviously didn't read the bill because they were focusing in on Arizona care. | ||
| The bill dealt with care as a nationwide organization, and the sub-charters that follow the national organization obviously would be affected. | ||
| But this bill deals with national care. | ||
| We had one representative on the Democrat side read from the Holy Land lawsuit case, and she read verbatim the linkage established by the FBI as care being a co-conspirator, unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land case, sending money to Hamas and still voted no. | ||
| The other two Democrats voted no, saying that we were Islamophobic. | ||
| Was there anything you had subject matter experts? | ||
| This one I think is most telling. | ||
| You had subject matter experts that went through kind of chapter and verse. | ||
| Then you obviously was a hearing, so you allowed the opposition to come in and they talked. | ||
| Did the Islamic representatives and the care representatives did they refute any of the facts that were put forward by subject matter experts and yourself and other Republicans during the hearing? | ||
| They refute any of the facts. | ||
| They did not. | ||
| And a key thing that was mentioned, and we all caught this immediately, the attorney for Arizona Care stood behind the podium and said, none of this is true. | ||
| And he said, there are no formal connections between Arizona Care and the Muslim Brotherhood, implying there are informal connections. | ||
| And we know through NGOs, the money given to NGOs that are in connection with other NGOs that give to Hamas, that's been established by the FBI. | ||
| So I really don't care if it's a formal connection or an informal connection. | ||
| If we are giving money to terrorist organizations, it has to stop. | ||
| So, Representative Gillette, you've got the governor of Texas, which we're very focused on now because the primary on 3 March to Proposition 10 to ban Sharia law in the state of Texas. | ||
| He's declared the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE international terrorist organizations operating in Texas, and they're now coming up with a second wave of what they're doing investigations. | ||
| Governor DeSantis in Florida, the exact same. | ||
| The President of the United States has done it by chapters, but they've come back on three chapters. | ||
| The first ones they looked at, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt as terrorist organizations. | ||
| They haven't looked so far at Qatar or Turkey. | ||
| Tell our audience specifically, what did you guys pass yesterday? | ||
| What is this letter going to do, and where are you going to send it? | ||
| Well, before I do that, let me, you mentioned Florida and Texas, and we saw the same pattern emerging here. | ||
| We had the establishment of the Muslim Advisory Board to the Tempe City Police Department, and that was supposed to be a cultural thing on how to deal with Muslim population. | ||
| Rule of law, we all get treated the same. | ||
| It doesn't matter your religion, your likings, your political affiliations. | ||
| We're treated the same, and they want some special carve-outs and cultural carve-outs. | ||
| So we saw this happening in Texas through the schools. | ||
| And what we saw here, what really made the connection, we've been receiving tons of information on an unofficial Sharia court where individuals from these communities, these heavily Muslim communities, refer business to each other back and forth. | ||
| And if there is an issue, they don't bring it to our court. | ||
| They set up a parallel government of Sharia law, which is already unlawful in the state of Arizona. | ||
| One of my subject matter experts yesterday, Linda Brinkman, testified to her background and what she had uncovered and what other groups had uncovered, and provided the video from Brigitte Gabriel, who unfortunately couldn't be here yesterday but did send a video. | ||
| And we've identified these Sharia courts. | ||
| She is the one that sponsored the bill or proposed the bill that was sponsored and passed making Sharia law unlawful in Arizona. | ||
| So this is a clandestine undercover parallel form of government of Sharia law in the state of Arizona. | ||
| So that's why we had to act fast. | ||
| What Governor Abbott put out and what Governor DeSantis put out, we use some of that data, but we didn't allow it to metastasize to the problem they had there. | ||
| We're trying to stop it in advance. | ||
| So what the bills actually do, they send a letter to Congress and the president supporting the legislation that's already drafted in Congress and what the Secretary of State is working on to designate CARE, the national organization, and of course its subchapters, and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations. | ||
| That would prohibit them from owning land, making any type of deals with government, and working with the American people on certain ventures. | ||
| It would blacklist them from any financial dealings in the state or the country. | ||
| And that's what we are supporting, and that's what these bills do. | ||
| They support the president's effort, and it's a direct linkage that has been proven. | ||
| And the bill is ready in Congress. | ||
| And we're telling Congress and the president, we as the people of the state of Arizona support this measure. | ||
| Please pass it. | ||
| Command Sergeant Major John Gillette, Representative Arizona, Mojave, and other areas. | ||
| Thank you for coming on here. | ||
| Amazing work. | ||
| Where do people go to your website to find out more? | ||
| Your social media. | ||
| Where do people go for social media, sir? | ||
| I'm on Twitter as AZ representative. | ||
| I have a Substack, John Substack, and it is Project Sentinel. | ||
| You can see the criminal referrals we've turned in on the Secretary of State, the governor, and some other findings we have. | ||
| These are all in progress with the Department of Justice, and we are working very closely with the Department of Justice to expose all the fraud, all the waste, all the abuse that we have found in this administration. | ||
| And we're trying to move this country and move this state forward. | ||
| And I greatly appreciate being on your show, sir. | ||
| It's an honor. | ||
| No, it's an honor to have you. | ||
| What a fighter. | ||
| Thank you, sir, for the great folks in Arizona. | ||
| I got to tell you, this is what Abbott has inspired. | ||
| And look, people know I'm not the biggest Abbott fan, but this designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization has inspired Oklahoma, Arizona. | ||
| You're seeing it. | ||
| Lynn Davenport, man, oh man, my phone blew up the other day because, look, the mindset, I want to go back to this. | ||
| We're going to have you on multiple times and we're going to talk about solutions, but I just got to reset because, as you know, War Room Texas has a big national following already, just like when we did the impeachment of Ken Paxon, people all over the world were watching it. | ||
| When we did the redistricting fight, people all over the country were intensely watching it to learn. | ||
| And you went to something that a lot of people throughout the country and in Texas came to me and said, well, hang on for a second. | ||
| Hang on a second. | ||
| I thought we were fighting for school choice for years as a good thing. | ||
| Lynn Davenport completely turned my world upside down. | ||
| So I just want to go back to that of your argument, which now obviously with the Harmony Schools and everything else. | ||
| And the reason I wanted to have you on and kind of searched you down talking to people was in Northern Virginia. | ||
| It was Eric Prince and others that kind of came to me and said, Hey, have you noticed in Northern Virginia how many of these Islamic schools are essentially madrasas, high schools are coming up? | ||
| And I go, no. | ||
| And I went and checked. | ||
| I go, because I'm a Virginian. | ||
| I go, oh my Lord. | ||
| I said, what is happening here? | ||
| And they go, this all came about because of school choice. | ||
| So take a few minutes. | ||
| We've got about 10 minutes. | ||
| I want you to just walk through because you blew people's world up the other day about saying, hey, something we've been fighting for forever is actually maybe a way that certain elements are here to try to destroy the country, ma'am. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so I'll tell you, there are unintended consequences of these bills. | ||
| And I'm always pointing that out: is that we go to the legislature and try to pass these bills, and they have, they grow teeth and hair and fangs and they turn on us. | ||
| And so I don't think our solutions are through bills at the legislature. | ||
| That's actually how we got here with the problems in education is through federal and state legislation year over year, biennium, over biennium. | ||
| And you mentioned Eric Prince. | ||
| I'm kind of going to go off the my talking points here. | ||
| But so his sister, Betsy DeVos, she spent 30 years trying to push school choice in Michigan, and then she became the ed secretary and she expanded the Department of Education. | ||
| And she was a major choice proponent. | ||
| And charters did not move the needle in Michigan. | ||
| They have not moved the needle in Texas, but they've moved the needle, the financial needle, to line the pockets of these Islamic charter schools. | ||
| And so I get really frustrated because people don't think about these unintended consequences. | ||
| The solution I have is we have to repeal these bills that came before us, the charter school bills, which came in the 90s, and then you have the voucher bill that just passed. | ||
| Well, putting that genie back in the bottle, I've heard it takes 15 years to undo a bill, to repeal it. | ||
| We've got to repeal federal legislation like ESSA, and that's under Obama. | ||
| No Child Left Behind came before that, which brought us the accountability system and testing, and the testing giants made a fortune. | ||
| So the system was broken on purpose, and that's why people are screaming for choice because they say, oh, well, we don't want the kids trapped in failing schools, but they've created this whole parallel system. | ||
| Like the gentleman was speaking before, Representative Gillette. | ||
| The parallel system that we set up to flee the government schools is the charter school model. | ||
| And that has lined the pockets of the Islamic schools, as well as the possible CCP ties with other charter schools. | ||
| We've got one in Garland that needs to be investigated. | ||
| The Chinese nationals come here, they stay in a dorm, and this is funded through, they also have bond, they can take out bond debt now. | ||
| So we've got a $57 billion permanent school fund that guarantees the bond debt. | ||
| So we've got junk bonds being taken out by international leadership of Texas, which is the one that teaches Mandarin and has affiliations with China. | ||
| So you see where I'm getting at? | ||
| This is driven by the Republican Party. | ||
| And the only way to get to root this out, like what Aaron Reitz was saying, is taking the strategy of choking them out, I think is the term he said, choke them out. | ||
| That's what we need to choke them out. | ||
| We need to publicly shame. | ||
| How did the leadership in Texas not understand this? | ||
| Did they understand it and push it anyway? | ||
| Or this really was the law of unintended consequences? | ||
|
False Dilemma Fallacy
00:04:52
|
||
| Well, I mean, I think they were told, but what happens is there's a false dilemma fallacy that if you don't support choice, you must support the teachers' unions and those radical teachers and the woke teachers, et cetera. | ||
| I get called a Democrat even by my former state senator, Don Huffins, went and disparaged me on Twitter saying, Lynn's a Democrat. | ||
| She's always been a Democrat. | ||
| She's aligned with those teachers' unions. | ||
| No, that's that's because I agree with the teachers' unions on this issue doesn't mean that I align with the teachers unions. | ||
| So that's frustrating. | ||
| And people don't want to be called a Democrat or look like they're supporting public schools. | ||
| But, you know, Texas is vast and we have a lot of rural communities. | ||
| And we, and I have to, can I say this real quick? | ||
| My friend Brett Giller, his funeral is today. | ||
| He was a teacher who fought vouchers tooth and nail. | ||
| He ran for Congress. | ||
| He was a staunch conservative, a welding teacher, had an American flag in metal that his students and he created. | ||
| So just wanted to say a shout to him and his two people. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| As a hardcore conservative welding teacher, why was he anti-voucher? | ||
| Because it was, he knew that what I know. | ||
| He knows it was a growth of government. | ||
| He was a staunch conservative. | ||
| But see, not all teachers are liberals. | ||
| That's the other thing. | ||
| We have teachers who can't say a whole lot, but, or they just want to do their jobs. | ||
| They show up and they want to teach the kids. | ||
| But we've got so many things that undermine the teaching profession. | ||
| And that was, like I said, through federal and state legislation that it's really undermined our public schools. | ||
| The parents, we want choice in our neighborhood schools, but because of the things that the state imposes on them, the accountability system, well, we want accountability, but not what Bush brought us with star testing. | ||
| And then the testing giants make millions upon millions. | ||
| And the money doesn't go to the teachers and the students in the classroom. | ||
| So when I say the system was broken on purpose, we have evidence of that. | ||
| You can have Alice Linahan on to talk more about that. | ||
| But the other thing I want to say is that Abbott appointed a Goldman guy, Todd Williams. | ||
| He retired from the real estate practice, and he was involved in the 2008 financial crisis. | ||
| So that's how he made his money. | ||
| Look up White Hall funds. | ||
| But so Abbott appointed him. | ||
| He's a Democrat. | ||
| He appointed Todd Williams to four education boards and commissions that not only steer the funding, but he would write the bills and lobby for the bills through his nonprofit. | ||
| So kind of like these nonprofits are working with the Islamic organizations and what you see in the Somali fraud going on in Minnesota. | ||
| These nonprofits, like the Commit Partnership, they infiltrate all aspects, even at the local level. | ||
| Like the Commit Partnership donated to the bond debt or the bond referendum in my district to buy the school-issued devices like the iPads. | ||
| So this is like a massive web of nonprofits, public-private partnerships. | ||
| And Todd Williams has a charter school named after him in Dallas, the Uplift Williams Prep. | ||
| So these real estate guys, I mentioned in the first show I did on Tuesday, is these real estate guys know how to get in and there's a major opportunity there, but he's steering the funding. | ||
| The TEA is paying commit $11 million. | ||
| The Gates Foundation is paying the Commit Partnership $30 million. | ||
| So that should be investigated, just like Aaron Wright said, choke them out. | ||
| We have to expose them. | ||
| We have to call out their names, show what they're doing. | ||
| And we need the political will of the party to say this. | ||
| We talked a lot about Democrat chairs in the party and how we wanted to fight the Democrat chairs. | ||
| Why is that happening at the legislature? | ||
| Well, we've got our own governor appointing a Democrat to four education boards and commissions, including the permanent school fund, which guarantees the bond debt. | ||
| And then Todd Williams is supporting the bond in my school district. | ||
