WarRoom Battleground EP 947: Saving Texas And The Rest Of The Republic With Doc Chambers

Doc Pete Chambers, a Texas-first conservative running for governor, warns of Sharia law infiltration via enclaves like Colony Ridge—now over 100,000 people near Houston—citing Heritage Foundation data (2024) on Muslim political preferences and Abbott’s alleged inaction. He targets H-1B/F-1 visas, criticizing universities for funneling foreign workers into Texas jobs while diverting funds like the $70M PUF to stadiums instead of schools, where 80% of taxes go to bureaucracy. Proposing a 26% property tax cut and banning hostile foreign land purchases, Chambers frames his bid as a biblical duty (Ezekiel 33) to stop federal overreach and protect Texas’ sovereignty, arguing its collapse risks the nation’s future.

Sharia Law Controversy 00:02:52
steve cohen
We're talking about Sharia law.
I mean, this is not really relevant to this committee and what's going on in America today.
There's so much we could be dealing with concerning the Constitution and protecting America.
White Christian nationalist ideology has been put forward.
One of the gentlemen here said something about, what is it, certain, it might have been you, Mr. Spencer, something that the group put forward as their plan for the future, some publication or some ideology?
Did you mention that?
steve bannon
I don't know.
robert spencer
You might be referring to the explanatory memorandum, which is, I didn't mention, but it's a captured internal document of the Muslim Brotherhood detailing its program for the United States, where it says the brothers must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their own hands and the hands of the believers so that Allah's religion is victorious over other religions.
I suggest that just saying that we've got other people doesn't make that.
unidentified
Sir, I've got the floor.
steve cohen
You're not Pam Bandi.
dr pete chambers
Sorry?
steve cohen
I say, I've got the floor.
You're not Pam Bondi.
That's what I was getting at.
And what you're talking about sounds like a Middle Eastern version of Project 2025, another type of manifesto to take over and do all these things and to control our government and to turn it around on its head.
sir jim ratcliffe
If you really want to deal with the major issues of immigration with people opting to take benefits rather than working for a living, if you want to deal with that, then you're going to have to do some things which are unpopular and show some courage.
unidentified
And has this government done that?
sir jim ratcliffe
No, I think they...
I don't know whether it's just the apparatus that hasn't allowed Keir to do it or he's maybe too nice.
He's a nice, I mean, I know Keir, he's a nice man, I like him, but it's a tough job and I think you have to do some difficult things with the UK to get it back on track because at the moment I don't think the economy's in a good, you can't afford, you can't have an economy with 9 million people on benefits and huge levels of immigrants coming in.
I mean, the UK is being colonised.
it's costing too much money it will cause The UK has been colonised by immigrants, really, isn't it?
I mean, the population of the UK was 58 million in 2020.
No, it's 70 million in the UK.
That's 12 million people.
unidentified
You met recently with Neutral Floros, didn't you?
Percentage Of Muslims 00:14:40
sir jim ratcliffe
I did.
unidentified
Do you think that they would be a kind of a good government if they were to win the next election?
sir jim ratcliffe
I think Nigel is an intelligent man, and I think he's got good intentions, but in a way, you could say exactly the same about Kia when Kia came in.
I think it needs somebody who's prepared to be unpopular for a period of time to get the big issues sorted out, would be my view.
gene wu
I always tell people the day the Latino, African American, Asian, and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning.
Because we are the majority in this country now.
We have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone and to make things fair.
But the problem is our communities are divided.
unidentified
They're completely divided.
brandon gill
What percentage of U.S. Muslims believe that Sharia law should be implemented in the United States?
ilya somin
So I'm not aware of survey data on that specific question.
brandon gill
However, I can tell you is 39%.
39% of Muslims in the United States want Sharia law implemented in the next 20 years.
Do you know what percentage of Muslims in the United States support the formation of a Muslim political party?
ilya somin
Again, I'm not familiar with survey data on that particular question.
brandon gill
Numbers is 46%.
Do a couple more.
Do you know what percentage of Muslims in the United States support making it illegal to show a picture of the cartoon or cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad?
ilya somin
So as with the other questions, a lot depends on the wording and the sample, and I would want to see this.
brandon gill
50%.
That's a lot.
Let's do one more.
Do you know what percentage of Muslims in the United States believe that Islam should be declared as our national religion?
ilya somin
Once again, I would want to look at the methodology of the survey, the question.
brandon gill
33%.
This is from a survey conducted by the Heritage Foundation in 2024, in September of 2024.
It was published on October 6th, 2024.
I got two more for you.
Do you know what percentage of American Muslims believe that Israel does not have a right to exist as a Jewish homeland?
ilya somin
I don't know that one either, but if it's from a survey by the Heritage Foundation, 43%.
brandon gill
You're happy.
You know, you can declare that statistics you don't like aren't true, but that's not how I'm going to operate here.
mohammad nusairat
The election of somebody like Mamdani, it is a game changer.
We need somebody like Mamdani to be the mayor of New York.
And that is a victory for the Ummah.
I'm jumping the gun here, but this is one of the narrow-minded need to break here.
A guy tried not once, not twice, eight times to shut our project down.
I don't want to go into all the details because of time.
He failed miserably at every single level.
And the project is still going full steam ahead.
Our biggest weakness is our percentage in this country.
We are very disadvantaged.
By the way, this is only in this country.
Sweden, 10% Muslim.
Oslo, Norway, 10% Muslim.
Oslo, of all places, Vienna.
The Ottoman Turks tried 200 years.
They couldn't do anything.
Vienna is 10% Muslim.
unidentified
MashaAllah.
mohammad nusairat
10% Muslim.
unidentified
England, London, it is estimated 20%.
dr pete chambers
So you can look at a foreign terrorist organization or a transnational criminal organization.
You can give them that moniker.
You can write a strongly worded letter, and that's good.
That's a start.
But the authorities come through the commander-in-chief of the state of Texas, and that's the governor.
And that has to come directly from that office.
Attorney General, God bless him.
He can't write those orders, and it has to come from that commander-in-chief.
So guys like me that watched it happen, those lily pads, that's what we call them, those lily pads, Epic City, now going to be called the Meadows.
It sounds a little bit like Laura Ingalls on a Little House on the Prairie, right?
They're changing the names.
They're conducting the same stuff they did on the border, which is a whack-a-mole, right?
So we chase them down and they move and they change and they morph.
But in the meantime, we've got 72% more mosques.
We've got two that I know about, Sharia law, of course.
And as the good Attorney General said, you cannot have a Constitution underneath this one right here.
This is the Texas Constitution, my 1930s copy of it, right?
So there it is.
We can't do that.
And it's not authorized.
The power is inherent in the people.
Article 1, Section 2 of the Bill of Rights.
It's the people, the winter soldiers that are pushing this subject.
And that is why Abbott is on his heels right now.
geert wilders
Islamic jihadis are plotting against you.
steve bannon
Why in the hell you think they're in Houston and in the north of Dallas?
glenn beck
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.
steve bannon
And it is not going to happen in the jewel of the crown of the union of this republic.
greg abbot
We purge any attempt to impose Sharia law in Texas.
unidentified
They are 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.
keith self
The United States Constitution and Sharia are fundamentally at odds with one another.
unidentified
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.
steve bannon
Are you prepared to fight for this state?
Are you prepared to fight for your country?
unidentified
War Room, Texas.
Your host, Stephen K. Bannon, starts right now.
steve bannon
It's Thursday, the 12th of February in the year of our Lord 26.
Thank you.
And I'm honored to be joined here by an individual that's jumped into the fray.
And as you saw that we ended with Doc Chambers, Doc, thank you so much for coming here in studio today.
Honored to have you in here.
dr pete chambers
Great to be here.
steve bannon
We want to spend the entire hour with you here because you have taken a bold move to step in and run for governor.
So tell people, first off, I want to get into a lot of the details.
And particularly, you saw we had a real collection there.
You had everything from Steve Cohen, who's, I think, a Jewish member of the House Democrat, mocking Robert Spencer.
Robert's also Jewish, one of the top experts in the world in Sharia.
Like, oh, Sharia law is just like Project 2025.
You had one of the wealthiest men in England saying that England's been colonized and he doesn't know what can be done about it.
You had the great Brandon Gill really eviscerating a witness who was trying to fake, like he didn't know how unpopular Sharia law is.
But I want to start first.
You're running for governor, right?
That is a huge executive job.
I mean, what, Texas has got the eighth largest economy in the world?
dr pete chambers
Eighth in the world.
unidentified
Eighth in the world.
steve bannon
You're 31 million people, I think, now.
And eventually you're going to overtake California.
We call it, and I say this as a Virginian, you're the jewel in the crown of the union, right?
And as goes Texas, so goes the world.
dr pete chambers
So goes the nation.
steve bannon
The nation in the grow world.
So talk to me about you.
What is the burning passion that you have that you feel that you need to be governor to turn this around?
dr pete chambers
Yeah, I did not have a burning passion when this kicked off.
I did not.
I was conducting counterhuman trafficking, working with a mutual friend on election integrity down in central Texas.
When I left the Texas National Guard, last eight years of my life, the last few on the border, I realized and I saw behind the curtain of what was really happening.
This isn't about throwing, casting stones or mud or anything like that.
It's just reality versus optics.
However, I was not intending to run for any office other than maybe Sheriff Wonder.
steve bannon
Hold on, tell me about that.
What was on the border?
What was reality and what was optimistic that turned you so much off and said, hey, I got to get involved here.
dr pete chambers
So as a senior Green Beret officer, there are two Green Beret units in the state of Texas and it's the National Guard system.
My job was a flight surgeon and special operations flight surgeon and bring beret.
I never take off that beret, that tab.
But so you can smell, you can smell color revolutions.
You can see these things.
We've been downrange.
I left Afghanistan 2014, 2015, came back to Texas thinking that we could protect our border from transnational criminal organizations on the Rio Grande, 1,254 miles of border.
And what I saw was a half measure, right?
It's all or none.
When you receive information from your team, as a commander, when I did, the scouts were out.
Hey, sir, we've got T-72s in the open tanks, right?
You get a salute report, size, activity, location.
So we're giving that information to the governor's staff.
We're passing it up the chain.
And these are things that are coming across.
120 countries that I recall at the time, when 12,500 people came across a week, a week, we had 17,000 Haitians show up in 24 hours in Del Rio.
steve bannon
We had 12,500 people where they falsely said that I think the Texas Rangers were the Texas Rangers that were on the horses trying to border patrol.
We're trying to climb.
dr pete chambers
That was about 400 yards from me.
steve bannon
And they said, oh, they're whipping these people.
It's horrible.
Just lines.
unidentified
I know.
dr pete chambers
That was a split rate.
steve bannon
Now, tell people about that human way because this is what we're dealing with today.
dr pete chambers
We want you to feel it.
You got to feel this.
Okay.
Feel this as a soldier just to understand.
In the day before that 17,000 Haitians showed up, Michael Yon called me from the Darien Gap and said, you got like this many buses coming, equivalent to tens of thousands of people.
So that's a friend of mine.
It's a Green Beret retired journalist.
steve bannon
He's one of the contributors to the war room.
dr pete chambers
He's a contributor.
He's a great man.
He's a good friend.
And he calls me and says this.
Now, that's the guy that I get information from.
So when my command says, where are you getting this from?
Is this vetted source?
Well, it's Michael Yon.
But sure enough, they showed up.
Anyway, Texas National Guard commanders tell me, go down there, take 40 guys with you and see if you can hold them off overnight.
We get down there's about 700 people that showed up at the first wave.
Well, we can hold off 700.
There's only four of us.
We can do it.
Border Patrol was there with their horses.
I was there with a dog.
We had some teams down there.
But by morning, by morning's light, there were 17,000.
You could just see them coming all around us every day.
steve bannon
17,000.
dr pete chambers
17,000.
We rounded them up, got him under the bridge.
Mr. Mayorkas came out.
steve bannon
That's all there was to combat divisions.
dr pete chambers
That's a lot.
That's a lot.
And 400, if people recall at the low water crossing there in Del Rio, during the Biden administration, at the low water crossing, 400 state DPS trucks showed up.
And that really helped us because we needed it.
But it was an impressive show of force, right?
And that's what when people see that, you know, that's a good optic to have.
Now, here's the reality.
We on the ground were sweating.
We were fighting.
We were trying to contain them.
We were looking for the needle in a stack of needles, the bad ones that want to do bad things.
We were looking for counterhuman.
steve bannon
I don't think ombres.
dr pete chambers
The bad ombre.
As soon as we got him under the bridge and we got everything localized, then Mr. Mayorkis, he decides he's going to say, we're going to put them on planes and send them all back to Haiti.
Not what happened.
And this is when I got my first glimpse of my commander-in-chief in the state of Texas is not helping the situation.
And that's disheartening because when you're a guy that came, you know, I came back to Texas in 2015 when he became governor.
And that was my commander-in-chief.
I worked directly for him during the COVID mission.
I was on his staff at that time as a liaison.
But I trusted that he would do the right thing.
So when you see the optics of it, the optics are, well, we're going to send him back to Haiti.
Well, they didn't send him back to Haiti.
steve bannon
Mayorkas was lying at the time.
dr pete chambers
Correct.
No, he was always lying.
unidentified
Yeah.
dr pete chambers
I've seen it a couple of other times.
And he's a liar.
Just to call it that.
I'm going to keep it focused on the story.
So as we move these people under the bridge, now we've got a situation where we've got to get them somewhere.
We were thinking we're going to put them on an Air Force plane and send them back down to Haiti.
didn't happen.
Then Governor Abbott moves him into the interior of the nation and he talks about it on his website.
And he said, I sent hundreds of thousands into Chicago or to here or there, wherever, Martha's Vineyard.
It was a tongue-in-cheek maneuver.
It's great to gain a populace movement, if you will, behind him to say, good job, Governor.
But those things to me are aiding and betting an invasion.
That wasn't their temple.
steve bannon
They haven't been vetted.
And they got temporary status still.
So you saw it that, hey, he just passing the problem on to somebody else.
Every town's a border town.
Every state's a border state.
We have to take a stand and we have to take it here in Texas.
dr pete chambers
Absolutely.
And we have the ability to do it.
steve bannon
What do you mean by that?
dr pete chambers
We have the 30th largest army in the world.
If you took the state guard, that's the state's militia.
16 states have them.
Texas has one.
The state guard, the National Guard, the Air Guard, the DPS, Department of Public Safety, and the Texas Rangers.
It's the 30th largest army in the world.
So we have the abilities to do it.
Here's the problem.
Strongly worded letters.
I said it on the little spot that you played.
Strongly worded letters.
Okay.
And these are things that are used quite regularly that people will back down from.
But barbarians, there is no negotiating with.
You cannot negotiate on a strongly worded letter.
So when I saw that, and I'm looking at it now, I have to put it in my mindset of as an officer, your former military, you definitely understand this.
Without authorities, I can do nothing.
unidentified
Right.
dr pete chambers
So the authorities come down from your commander in chief.
You then get passed on the chain of command all the way down to you.
And then those are your authorities.
Then they build out the rules of engagement.
And that was another one we didn't like.
If the cartel shows up down on the border, and they did, and if they start shooting at you, and they did, your job is to get in your trucks and drive away.
That was our rules of engagement.
In Texas, William Barrett Travis, the guy that wrote the letter from the Alama on 24 February, 1836, would be rolling over in his grave.
Authorities Come Down 00:06:19
unidentified
Right.
dr pete chambers
So for me, those are sticks.
steve bannon
Why do you think the governor did that?
dr pete chambers
You want an optic, but you don't want an incident.
steve bannon
And without an incident, without something, you're not going to be able to stop this, right?
Optics was not going to stop the human wave that was coming through.
dr pete chambers
I'm going to say something that's going to make people chill here in a second.
And this is, I'm going to use the rated G version.
All right.
So when we gave a briefing four years ago, five years ago to the staff, not to the governor himself, to the staff, to include DPS and other folks, federal agencies as well.
And my sergeant major, who's in this part of the world, we call a Kuhnas.
He's a Cajun, right?
You have to excuse my French, but that's what they call it.
All right.
So he comes in, my sergeant major.
This is a man that's been through 20 years of war and understands counterterrorism, understands cross-border operations, understands this.
And I'm there and I got to back his play.
And he says, without us bringing you and putting cartel carcasses on this table right here, this will not stop.
unidentified
Right.
dr pete chambers
Because they were transported.
steve bannon
To a briefing.
dr pete chambers
To a briefing.
steve bannon
So people at the highest levels of the guard, they knew exactly what the reality was.
dr pete chambers
They shivered and it was, ha asked.
For me, I said, yeah, what he said, but I would have said it a little differently.
However, you know, love the passion.
But Howard, that's the point.
The cartels made hundreds of millions of dollars.
I'm talking about just one, Cartel del Nor Este, the Northeast Cartel.
They made $400 million one month in transporting People across that river, 120 countries, some of them being with Hezbollah, some of them being with Hamas that were documented through Venezuela.
Now, do we have a cap on Venezuela right now?
We may, we may, but we still have that network that had been coming in.
Now, is it still coming now?
No.
Trump put a tourniquet on the border, and thank God.
steve bannon
So, at the time this is happening, you're sitting there going, Hey, we're just playing games here.
This is all we're not really defending Texas and we're not defending the country.
So, how does that lead?
How does that kernel or that seed in your in what you're doing lead to the evolution that you actually take the jump and go in in a kind of a David and Goliath situation politically against a guy that's raised $100 million and has every corporate interest in back of him?
What was that?
dr pete chambers
What was that defining?
Here's the context, too, because I got to add this and to understand why people came to me to run for governor, to ask me to do this.
I would never have thought of it on my own.
But the last part of that mission, Operation Lone Star, that I was on, it's still going on right now.
As the flight surgeon that was responsible for 3,000 soldiers on the border's health and well-being, and I had multiple PAs working for me, it was my job when the mandates came to give informed consents.
And I did, and nobody took the shot.
steve bannon
The vaccine mandates.
dr pete chambers
Yes, sir.
Now, I testified to Seals versus Lloyd Austin when the senator from good senator from Wisconsin, Ron Johnson, came to me and said, Would you be one of my four whistleblowers in the DOD?
Why there were only four?
I don't know.
Courage is a commodity.
So then you look at that and I say, Well, what am I going to do?
My career's on the line, but I've got to do informed consents.
Now, they sent a two-star general down because I kept sending the shot teams away saying we're not giving them to him.
Now, I've got these kids looking at me saying, Please, sir, don't let us.
They read my informed consent.
I gave them the briefing.
This is going to kill you if you don't need it.
Why would you take it?
Right?
You can use ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.
I knew it then.
I came from Africa.
There was no COVID in Africa.
And they took it out of my inventory.
They said, You can't carry these medications anymore.
All right.
Well, we'll figure a way around it.
We can go down to Pharmacy of Mexico.
Health.
steve bannon
Did that trigger something when you knew having what happened was happening in Africa when they took that out?
dr pete chambers
Oh, it triggered.
steve bannon
You knew the fix was in?
dr pete chambers
I didn't understand the fullness of it.
I wrote a briefing.
It's the 20th of 2020, a briefing on it.
And I briefed the State Department of Health Services and they told me never to say the word hydroxychloroquine again.
You know why?
This is hilarious.
They're number two in the state of Texas Department of Health Services.
She said, I said, well, why, ma'am?
She goes, because Trump said it.
And I said, well, Trump's not a doctor.
She said, I'm telling you right now, this is, you think I'm writing a book here.
steve bannon
Unbelievable.
dr pete chambers
The ridiculousness.
So I said, ma'am, he's not a doctor.
I respect the man.
I am.
I've used it for years on troops for malaria, prophylaxis, et cetera.
I've seen people take ivermectin.
I've given to cattle, but I've also given it to human beings and my horse.
And because you know the horse pay story, she said, we're just not saying it because we need to focus on vaccines.
We need to focus on bed space.
We need to focus on ventilators, remdisivir, boom, boom, boom.
So now that's when I really went, whoa, what's going on?
So back to the border.
Two-star general comes down.
Love me.
I love him.
However, Doc, you need to get with the program.
I said, get with the program.
He goes, He gave me that speech.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to do it in his voice.
It's almost like an Alex Jones.
He said, Doc, you need to get on.
Get with the program.
It ain't about the science.
It's about the policy.
I said, well, sir, that doesn't make a lick of sense.
I said, because here's the numbers.
I got the whiteboard up.
This how many are sick?
They've already taken shots.
These are the ones that are out there on the border.
I got to keep operations going.
We're pulling people off every time they get sick and they're spending 10 days in quarantine.
I said, I got to operation run for 1,200 miles, right?
This is getting bigger.
We started with 600 troops.
We're up to 6,000 at this point.
We went to 10.
And he says, Well, you just got to quit doing informed consents.
Exactly.
steve bannon
Quit doing informed consents.
dr pete chambers
And then he wrote it and sent it to me in an email, which then ended up as an exhibit in a court case, unfortunately.
So, you know, this is this is the world.
steve bannon
Was there any logic in back of besides the fact that they just wanted a program that was anti-from?
Any medical logic, the same negative.
dr pete chambers
No, no, no.
There was, there was no logic.
So your career's on the line, Doc.
And I said, well, sir, I've been shot at and blown up in a truck and taking care of guys downrange.
The career is the last thing I'm going to think about.
And I had, you know, plenty of years, well over 20.
And so what I did was I went ahead and retired and then went on Alex Jones show and then exposed a lot more.
Now, that being said, that opened it up to where now people are saying, all right, this guy's got some cojonas and he'll stand in the gap against the federal government as lieutenant colonel.
What will he do if he's if the state needs it?
That's what they're that was in the affirmative.
And I'm, then I got out and went into camp.
steve bannon
You never in a million years think, hey, when there's no way you're not a polit, not a politician.
dr pete chambers
No, no, no, no.
H-1B Visa Controversy 00:17:05
dr pete chambers
So I'm a leader.
This is very different.
So which, yeah, which puts you in, you know, but in combat, sometimes leaders got to draw fire.
Sometimes they do.
Sometimes we might draw fire for a maneuver element or something.
But in this case, when this, these group, this group came to me and they said, would you do this, Doc?
And there's a campfire.
It's on Pentecostal last year.
And I said, nope.
And then I said, but I'll pray about it.
And I went off and I said, I'll give you a week.
And I came back in a week and there was, I said, okay, well, I'm going to look at it.
I'm going to feasibility study this thing.
Can we do this?
steve bannon
What was it in the week of prayer?
dr pete chambers
Oh, that final night.
It was, Lord, please say no.
I'm begging you, please, because I don't want to do this.
I don't, I will, I will find somebody.
I helped Alan West when he ran.
I'm like, I'll find somebody to do this.
It was quiet.
It was crickets, right?
But then it was picked up this book right here and picked up Ezekiel chapter 33, the watchman.
And it said, if you're a watchman, it's on your head if you don't sound the trumpet.
And if you sound the trumpet to your command or to the people and they don't adhere or they don't listen, it's on their head.
Now, at that point, I've got to go with my conviction of what I believe and understand that sometimes your path gets chosen not by you, but by your prayers, the answers to your prayers.
And that's just Pete Chambers.
steve bannon
As you came up, we're going to jump for a break and say, real quickly, how long after your prayer, your week of prayer, did you make a decision?
I'm going to step in here.
dr pete chambers
It took about two weeks of calling and speaking to some serious people.
General Flynn, Alan West, what do you think?
What do you think?
Can we do this?
Absolutely.
steve bannon
And what General Flynn, Alan West said.
dr pete chambers
No, General Flynn was just a text and he said, I'm 100% in.
And he sent an endorsement and all that.
I don't take endorsements from politicians, but I will from General Flynn.
He's not a politician.
But he's a leader.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break.
We're going to be back in the warmth of the second part of this in just a moment.
max steiner
What makes a man to wonder what makes a man to roar?
What makes a man lead bed and boy and turn his back on home away.
dr pete chambers
Right away.
unidentified
Texas goes, so goes the nation.
As the nation goes, so goes the world.
steve bannon
Are you prepared to fight for this state?
Are you prepared to fight for your country?
The New York Times put up a story last night how this anti-Sharia law and this whole issue about an Islamic invasion of Texas has become the top political issue down here.
I know in Northern Virginia, you've talked about this for a while, these school choice have built all these schools.
In the New York Times, they had a quote by somebody here, and they said, one of the moolahs or one of the imams said, well, look, we look at Texas as the new Medina.
How would you interpret that?
We've got about a minute and a half.
How would you interpret that and how important it is to ban Sharia law in this country?
unidentified
Ban Sharia law.
eric prince
If this, again, Steve, if this doesn't get solved in the ballot box, this will get solved in a very kinetic way because I don't think Americans are going to accept being colonized by Islamic, by an Islamic paradigm.
steve bannon
That's happened before.
eric prince
The Reconquista happened in Spain.
It took a couple hundred years.
It will not take a couple hundred years this time to change it back.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome back.
I'm with Doc Chambers, who's running for governor.
We started the show with one of the wealthiest men in England.
In fact, I think he owns Manchester United, one of the big soccer clubs over there, saying that Britain had been colonized.
Eric Prince did not hear that this morning.
He said, hey, this colonization of Texas in the United States of America is not going to go on.
You were one of the first, you've been at the forefront of this issue.
Talk to me about your thoughts about Prop 10, Sharia law.
And the New York Times now is saying it's the number one issue, but they're saying it's a bunch of conspiracy theorists that are just blowing this way out of proportion.
dr pete chambers
Not at all.
Not at all.
This is the ultimate goal here is a caliphate.
And in the caliphate, there are several portions of it.
And if you're not part of that Sharia system, I'm just going to cut to the chase.
There is a verse, the verse of the sword.
And the verse of the sword says, if you are an infidel, a kafir, you're an infidel.
You are to be done away with or you pay taxes, live underneath their system.
Now, that's the book of the war, they call that.
So that's the part we're in.
It's going to always, always lead.
And then if I place this using my green bray cap on the unconventional warfare scale of infiltration and all the things that have taken place, setting up a domicile.
steve bannon
Do you think there's been infiltration in the state of Texas?
Why do you say that?
dr pete chambers
Because we're watching it.
There's no assimilation taking place.
We look at how many different cultures come into this country.
They assimilate, right?
They assimilate to this culture and they still maintain, you know, let's say, you know, Chinatown in New York, right?
They still maintain that ability, the flavor, but they assimilate to this culture and their kids come to school.
And we don't assimilate to them.
They assimilate to this culture.
That's what keeps us going and proud to be American.
And then to come in with some kind of other legal system, or I don't call it a legal system, but some other Sharia system.
steve bannon
System of submission.
dr pete chambers
Of submission.
Yeah, when we talk about oppression, that's a key there, of submission.
And like I said, and we've seen it, when Governor Abbott declares and says that we outlawed it in Texas, he did not.
steve bannon
Is he doing that, by the way?
You started in August.
Is his declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization and care terrorist organization and then saying he's passed laws that ban Sharia law and he's done something on Epic City, which people argue, well, he didn't really shut down.
Those actions he's been taking.
Is that in response to you coming from the right and saying, and a big buildup of people saying that?
Do you think it's in reaction?
I've heard that.
And you think he's doing a good enough job?
And why would you be better at doing that?
dr pete chambers
Why would I be better?
Well, he's had 11 years.
We've talked about taxes.
We've talked about Sharia law.
We've talked about a lot of things.
And when somebody asks me and says, what is it that you're going to do different?
Well, I won't lie to you for 11 years.
I'm just going to cut to the chase.
Now, I'm a term limit guy, so it wouldn't be that long.
But I won't, you, you cannot promise things that you cannot deliver.
You just don't do that in this business.
steve bannon
You've seen the lies, as you've talked about, that got you inspired doing this on the border and with the vaccines and the information set.
You saw what you call the optics versus the reality.
Are there other things you think he's lying about the Sharia law aspect of it?
Purposely misleading the public?
dr pete chambers
Whether it's purposeful, I'd have to, that would have to, you know, the intent would be something you have to talk to in person to find out.
But it is obfuscating truth.
And either, you know, there's only two kinds of sin in this world, commission and omission.
If it's omission right now, then I think you're smarter than that, sir.
And you can come to the forefront and say, this isn't actually outlawing Sharia law because the word Sharia is not in the law, right?
There are certain practices that are not allowed.
Now, you're right.
You can't stone people.
We got it.
You can't stone them to death.
Thanks.
But the point of it is, is that, and you've had Brian Harrison on numerous times, he talks about it.
He's showing it from within the legislature.
And thank God he's there.
steve bannon
How corrupt it is down there.
dr pete chambers
How corrupt it is.
steve bannon
I want to go to two other things since we've only got so much time.
You've been at the forefront of this issue of Sharia law.
You're a big backer of Proposition 10.
You've also been one of the first people on Colony Ridge.
And you're also one of the leaders in these HB1.
And I will tell you that right below the surface, issues like H-1B visa, right as we gave permission structure on Sharia law.
And now it's even the New York Times is saying it's the number one issue in the Republican primary.
Right below that is H-1B visas and Colony Ridge, which they had a settlement today from the federal government, but they still have illegal aliens living down there.
And I don't think anyone's been held accountable.
Talk about why you were at the forefront of both of those.
dr pete chambers
Sure.
Yeah.
Well, Colony Ridge, 2023, I got out of the Texas National Guard 2022.
In 2023, Michael Yon, our friend, Green Beret Wars correspondent, and Ann Vannerstill showed up in Texas and said they need somebody to go with them.
And while we went down the border, and it was called Operation Burning Edge.
That's what they did.
That was the exposure.
And during that operation, we got chopper and we went across Colony Ridge, Liberty County, 40 square miles just north of Houston, about 40 minutes north, just south of Cleveland, Texas.
And we flew across that compound, 40 square miles.
Now we're talking about a high water table in there.
We're talking about you, you don't typically build in these kinds of, this is the pining woods of Texas.
Knocked down a bunch of pine trees.
We got this loamy ground and everything is just right there at the edge of water.
And we're building out trailer parks, right?
This is crazy stuff.
Crazy world.
And so these two gentlemen, last name, Harris, we can talk about it.
It's in the open.
It's open source.
They build this compound.
And this compound is now.
At that time, it was probably occupied, our estimate was in 20 to 30,000.
Right now, it's over 100,000, right?
We flew over again.
I flew over it again not too long ago, did a video on it.
I'll send you the video and you can use it anytime you want because it's showing the truth.
And the truth is there are three schools there and they're called leadership, international leadership schools, where they teach, guess what? Mandarin Chinese, right?
Where they have a really robust ROTC system.
Except the problem is you're teaching Mandarin Chinese to this to these kids in the United States for what?
Right.
So I got to look at the most dangerous course of action.
Many of these people, the majority of them, are illegals, right?
So these are things where when Roy Boyd, sheriff of Goliad County, great sheriff, you need to get him on if you haven't.
You need to get to know the guy, one of our top sheriffs in Texas is chasing criminals from Goliad County back up in their liberty.
And this is a lawless territory for the Biden years.
steve bannon
He was the first line of defense.
dr pete chambers
Yeah, he's well, he's and he's still doing it and he's going strong, him and sheriff.
steve bannon
So, Connie Ridge, you got tell me about H-1B visas.
You've got a couple of specialists that people have said, hey, he's got the best team in the country.
I want to tell the audience that as much as Warham, Texas has exploded about Sharia law, and that's the reason we came here.
After getting here and meeting so many people, they also say, Steve, you've got to start talking about H-1B visas because we're being overwhelmed.
You've got some of the topics.
dr pete chambers
Look, the folks in Plano and Frisco and Colony Ridge, not Congress, it might as well be.
steve bannon
But Frisco.
dr pete chambers
It's north of there.
It is, it is, it's H-1B world.
This is the triangle.
This is the corner of the top of the triangle.
That's Dallas-Fort Worth.
And you go down to Houston and you go over to San Antonio.
But H-1B is just part of the problem.
It's a dual problem.
You've got the F-1 visas.
That's the top of the funnel.
Then the H-1Bs are once they get into the system.
F-1 gets somebody to graduate school.
Colleges hire them, put them in as teaching assistants.
They don't have to pay the FICA, right?
The matching FICA, the two biggest universities.
steve bannon
Put them into the education system.
And right here.
dr pete chambers
Now they're just on that perfect.
steve bannon
And the Texas university system is filled.
dr pete chambers
This is like the Green Braves.
We call it the Q course.
This is the Q course for H-1Bs.
So they're sending them right into that system.
And at that point now, they're taking away from jobs from kids from Texans.
steve bannon
And they're not assimilating as entities.
I'm going to go back through all these.
Sure.
Because people would look to you for leadership of this.
On the situation of the Islamic invasion of Texas and Sharia law, on the issue of Colony Ridge and other these developers getting in business to bring illegal aliens here and on H-1B visas.
Take a couple of minutes and walk me through your solutions as governor.
dr pete chambers
On the Sharia law and on the enclaves and on the hideouts, if you will, the lily pads that are out there, the places where we know that there are criminal activities taking place, foreign terrorist organizations, networks, transnational criminal organizations, cartel organizations, any of those that are in this state, we have the robust capability to investigate that, but we also have the largest, eighth largest economy in the world.
And we have the ability to bring people in like Eric Prince, because I respect what he said and I've studied it.
And that plan is perfect.
And we've got to be able to bring those kind of people to the front and say, all right, we're going to stop it here.
And this is because of what you said.
This gem, and I call it the jewel, this domino of the flyover states is Texas.
steve bannon
So you're just not going to have optics.
You want reality are going to clean this up.
dr pete chambers
We're going to hit the ground running day.
steve bannon
What about H-1B visas?
You got some of the most sophisticated advisors in the country are working with them.
dr pete chambers
What are you going to do?
The number one guy is a sixth generation Texan.
unidentified
He cares.
steve bannon
As governor, what are you going to do about H-1B visa?
Because the school, the college system and the Texas government is one of the worst participants in this.
dr pete chambers
DEI woke all that stuff in the colleges.
And these are big universities.
I'm not going to name them, but they're out there.
And Texans know.
steve bannon
Well, big, and there are also some excellent universities, but they've gone a right.
They've gone through.
dr pete chambers
So setting those positions as boards of regents, you have to get that set first, right?
Everything comes down from there because those are the ones that set the pace.
We've got to get rid of the DEI.
But we also have to train.
And this is the key to the H-1B problem is these folks coming from other countries learn this.
Enterprise applications is a federally mandated type of application that teaches this technology that people hire.
So as we look at that specific, guess what?
It's a year and a half of training.
I can put it in a high school pipeline.
steve bannon
the Texas high school.
We don't need farmers.
dr pete chambers
And then you bring them out at 18, 19 years old and they go to work and they take the jobs back.
And then you de-incentivize any corporations that has a higher ratio.
steve bannon
I don't think anybody would have a question that Doc Chambers is a man of courage and a leader.
And if I wanted to have something that had a front tank, I'd have Doc Chambers there.
Or if I needed a situation dealt with, Doc Chambers would be the first guy I call.
It's the eighth largest economy in the world.
It's almost a nation state in and of itself.
That economy is only getting bigger and more complex as agriculture and oil field services and construction all become more technologically based.
Of course, you have a huge high-tech group, maybe too much power in Austin, and others are bringing H-1B in.
What would you say to people who said, hey, I like the cut of his jib.
I like the fact he's courageous.
He looks me in the eye.
He's not going to lie to me.
But does he have the managerial expertise to oversee or work with and oversee this economy in the legislature and walk me through your economic plan?
Take a few minutes and convince people that you've got that down, Pat, as you've got the leadership on all these nations.
dr pete chambers
For the leadership qualities we've got, and we've already got the teams built, right?
So these are task forces.
The governor can have task forces and commissions, right?
I've already got task force commissions built for every single one of these entities, but we've got to have a baseline of physical security.
Then the fiscal security comes in, right?
We've got to decrease taxes.
Texas is number six in the nation on taxes.
steve bannon
That shocks people.
dr pete chambers
And it's 40% of Texas doesn't own a home, 40%.
So we've got to get that back.
So this is just a matter of.
steve bannon
How are you going to cut taxes when you have such a huge budget in Austin?
dr pete chambers
We've got to audit that thing because right now there is so much money that is sitting in funds that are not being used.
We've got an emergency fund of $36 billion.
We've got an oversurplus of $20 plus billion, $26 billion.
It means you taxed us $26 billion more than you needed.
Well, we need to bring that back around.
Let the businesses do what they do, but we've got to work.
I got to work hand in hand with all the different specialist groups in Texas to make sure that we match up with our commissioners.
steve bannon
Aren't you advocating that you believe in your at least first term that you'll be able to cut, radically cut property taxes?
dr pete chambers
26% is what we're estimating.
26%.
steve bannon
How are you going to cut?
Is that, are you sounding like a politician in that regard?
dr pete chambers
This is a plan.
This is a plan.
Permanent university fund, P-U-F.
steve bannon
Okay.
Cutting Property Taxes Plan 00:04:17
dr pete chambers
All right.
Sits out there.
15% of crude that comes out of West Texas oil.
That's public ground, public land, goes to those two universities.
It's the two biggest ones in Texas.
It's been going since 1800s.
Well, if we're going to use a permanent university fund, it's for education.
Let's put it at the high school level.
Let's stop building $70, $40 million high school stadiums.
Let's do a little bit of fiscal responsibility because that's what's happening.
We just can't go out there and get a bond and have more money to pay for borrowed money and put it on the shoulders of the Texas citizens and their grandkids.
We've got to stop those practices.
We also got to look into when foreigners come into this state and buy land, they come in and pay a lot more for it to get the land, right?
So this is a land grab.
steve bannon
Would you ban as much?
Would you ban foreign interest buying state of Texas?
dr pete chambers
There are certain countries I completely would ban, and one of them is China, right?
steve bannon
You would ban China.
unidentified
Absolutely.
steve bannon
Would you ban the Muslim countries from buying?
dr pete chambers
Anyway.
steve bannon
Because one of the reasons people are saying, hey, I've been forced to sell to these people and they're paying a premium price.
So I'm just going to get out.
Would you ban Muslim countries or something like that?
dr pete chambers
It would be based upon exactly.
Any country that is ill intent in the United States or in Texas, 100%, because Texas is not for sale and it's not about the GDP, right?
It's about the sovereignty of Texas.
We've got to get that straight first.
Everything will fall into place.
But in the meantime, I've got to protect.
So when you or I buy land, let's say in Canada or England, we pay higher taxes for it there.
So if they come here, why aren't they paying higher taxes?
steve bannon
In a lot of countries, in China, you can't buy any land.
I mean, you can't buy anything.
So walk me through.
We've got a couple of minutes left.
I want to walk through the, how are you going to cut property taxes by 26%?
dr pete chambers
Right.
steve bannon
So you take that permit, you know, you're going to take the fund and you're going to have to.
dr pete chambers
It's in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
And so you bring that and now you give it, now you give it to cut those school taxes, right?
Texas is number 40 out of 50 states in education right now.
steve bannon
That's impossible.
dr pete chambers
It's impossible.
steve bannon
Given the great university system you have, how these schools, I guess, talking about the elementary all the way up.
dr pete chambers
How can that be?
We've got a problem.
We don't pay our teachers enough.
We spend 80% of our school taxes on administrative costs.
steve bannon
But the teachers unions are also totally screwed up here, right?
I mean, isn't that one of the drivers of this DEI?
dr pete chambers
Yeah, well, yeah, the DEI, but also when you look at the Blue Bonnet program, that's another one.
And we got school vouchers.
A lot of people don't like it because it's very Marxist in the way it's written, not the premise, but the Blue Bonnet program matches almost verbatim United Nations World Education Plan, right?
So these things were bought in outside of a state.
steve bannon
How did this get into the state of Texas?
dr pete chambers
Outside of state vendors, because there's a good old boy network.
This is a non-non-bid.
So we'll take it from some guy.
steve bannon
Are you, you're a very tough and courageous man with a lot of physical courage.
Do you believe that you have the courage to go to Austin and clean that mess up, sir?
dr pete chambers
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
steve bannon
Why do you think?
dr pete chambers
I've demonstrated it physically, demonstrated it in courtrooms, federal court cases.
I have no problem standing up for truth.
Sometimes it hurts.
Sometimes they call you things that you aren't, right?
Sometimes you take a beating and that's what we do.
We'll draw a fire for that.
But yeah, I have a servant's heart and that doesn't stop.
steve bannon
Give me two minutes.
Give me two minutes on the best picture you can make for why Doc Chambers should go against an incumbent Republican governor.
He's got $100 million in the bank.
unidentified
Why you?
dr pete chambers
Right.
Because for me, I focus on Texas first.
I'm a Texas first candidate.
I'm a conservative, but I'm a conservative that believes in the principles of the Bible that came down to our founding fathers through John Knox, who then took principles from the Bible, went to the Lords in Scotland and said, no, I'm going to interpose and I'm going to push large government down as low as I can to the people through the doctrine of lesser magistrates.
And that's a thing, right?
It's not lesser in the form of who's greater, who's better.
Lesser, it's closest to the ground.
Because when we decrease, when decentralized, big government, same thing from Austin down, I will protect us from the federal government.
I got it.
I've done that before.
But I've got to protect the rest of Texas from Austin.
steve bannon
That's great.
21 Days On Fire 00:01:52
steve bannon
Talk to me about your campaign website, if people want to contribute, and where do people go to find out your schedule?
I know we got three weeks left and you are literally on fire all over the world.
dr pete chambers
21 days.
We'll be in Houston tomorrow.
steve bannon
I'm so grateful we were able to hook up this one.
unidentified
Where do people go?
dr pete chambers
Doc Pete Chambers, not that one right there, docpetechambers.org.
There you go.
Right there.
Yeah.
Now that right there is where you can go and there's a place to give to the right.
You can volunteer.
We've got 1,500 plus volunteers right now.
We're moving strong and 21 days.
And there is a calendar there.
We can see we're at.
And there is a merched page which sells signs.
We're doing up for costs.
We're not taking any profit in that.
Everything here that's happened has been organic, right?
There's organizations out there that call themselves grassroots.
They're not, right?
Those things are organizations to raise money.
It doesn't go to us.
So don't think.
steve bannon
When are we going to see Abbott on a debate stage with you?
dr pete chambers
Well, he missed the first one in Banzant County, but hopefully he'll get to the next one.
steve bannon
I was hoping you think he'll stand on his.
dr pete chambers
He won't because when Alan West was there, he was trying the same thing.
It didn't work.
It's okay.
steve bannon
Thank you so much for joining us in Warroom, Texas.
A great honor.
We look forward.
We're going to pick you up on the campaign trail.
Sure, any of the other things you do this.
Okay.
We'll see you back in the war room at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time tomorrow.
Make sure everybody goes and checks out Doc Chambers' campaign website right now.
We'll see you tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.
