Episode 5296: Blockade Continues In The Strait Of Hormuz; Democrats Stealing Virginia
Stephen K. Bannon and Captain Fennell analyze a US naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, utilizing A-10 Seahawks to neutralize Iranian speedboats while severing energy ties with China and India to end dollar reliance. The broadcast highlights pharmaceutical supply chain crises caused by these disruptions and shifts to Virginia's grassroots conservative resistance against Democratic redistricting tactics. Finally, Julie Pickering details Texas populist victories mandating patriotic education and Judeo-Christian values, rejecting Sharia law amendments in a broader push for cultural reordering. [Automatically generated summary]
Captain Fennell later, my kid brother during the tanker wars or the tanker conflict of doing all this, the escort duty.
Captain Fennell, and I realized the speedboats we're talking about, the naval craft we're talking about are not really the drug things coming out of Venezuela.
They're much more sophisticated, and these guys are kind of apocalyptic death.
Cult, so they don't mind driving right into a naval vessel combatant and letting it rip.
And if they get taken out, so be it, they get 42 virgins.
Your assessment of all this, being that you've actually been in the Persian Gulf of something I don't agree with, is sending carriers and capital ships up there, but this was during the Iraq War when I guess you needed the air wings up close and personal.
Your assessment right now, and do you agree that this is a forcing function?
You are our mentor.
Always over the past many years, to keep the main thing the main thing, which is the existential power struggle between the Chinese Communist Party and the United States, the Chinese Communist Party in the world, but as epitomized through the conflict with the United States of America, sir.
Yeah, Steve, just on the tactical aspects of these fast patrol boats, they are called bog hammers.
That's from the Swedish company that the Iranians purchased a large number of these back in the early 80s.
And they're about 40 feet long and they can go about 40 knots.
And what makes them dangerous is they have a basic radar and they're able to fire off these missiles or rocket propelled launchers.
So, again, when we were in the conflict with Iraq, we were operating in carrier operating areas up in the northern Persian Gulf, Arabian Gulf.
And while we were sitting there in these operating areas, we were 30, 40 miles.
Even 20 miles off the coast of Iran.
And that was one of our number one concerns that one of these or a few of these would come out in different vectors at high speed in the middle of the night and be able to launch off an RPG or a missile at us and do severe harm.
Now, what's different here almost 30 years later is that we don't have any US Navy warships operating up in the Arabian Gulf.
We're outside of it.
So there are these bog hammers.
So people say, well, why didn't we take these out earlier?
Well, as the president said, he didn't think they were a threat, and they weren't to any U.S. Navy vessels because most of these are up in the Gulf.
So, we took out their regular Navy, their bigger warships or submarines, things that could come out and affect our carriers and other warships operating in the Gulf of Oman and farther out.
So, now they're saying the president's basically made it very clear if Iran thinks that they're going to try to sneak some of these down the coast and then out through Bandar Abbas and south through the Strait of Hormuz, we're going to be all over that.
And now, with the introduction, or they've been there for several weeks now.
The Air Force's A 10 Warthog, which has now been lovingly renamed the Seahawk, to go after platforms just like this.
Plus, our carrier airwings will be able to go after these with cluster munitions, rock eyes, and things of that nature.
We'll be able to see these coming easily before they get in any kind of weapons range, and they'll be decimated.
So, it's kind of a you know, there's a lot of reporting about it now because the Wall Street Journal talked about it and the New York Post has talked about it.
But, I again, I see a lot of Hype in the media as opposed to sober analysis of the threat.
So, in that sense, it's there, we'll deal with it.
Strategically, yes, this is all about China, and it's a reordering of the global energy system so that the United States is no longer dependent upon and being slave to the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Gulf as we have been since the early 70s in that energy crisis.
Now, the United States not only is able to bring the US Navy to bear to make And enforce a blockade like this.
But now we can also say to people, oh, by the way, you can come to a new gas station.
It's in the Gulf of America, and you can get your gas there for cheap, and it's not going to be at any risk.
And so that's the new reordering of the world.
And the Chinese are not really happy about it.
I saw the Chinese Minister of Defense, Admiral Dong Jun, has already come out in the last couple of hours and made a statement and said, We have trade and energy agreements with Iran.
We expect others not to interfere in our affairs.
The Strait of Hormuz is open to us.
Well, we'll see about that, Admiral Jun or Dong.
I think the United States is now sending a clear signal that Chinese access will be restricted, not completely cut off.
They can get oil from other Gulf nations, but if it's coming out of Iran, they're not going to get it anymore, and that will be sealed to them.
And this is going to put more pressure on Xi Jinping and his already strained economy, and where he's, you know, For the audience, though, you agree, and this is one of the reasons Besant was for this, and I think was one of the guys that pushed it.
Is this kind of cuts to the chase?
It's the reason I said, don't waste your time going to Islamabad.
You're dealing with intermediaries.
Pakistanis are totally corrupt.
The Iranians speak for themselves, right?
As this regime is.
You can't believe anything they say.
They're going to double deal you.
They're going to try to string it out.
Deal with the guys writing checks, right?
Go for the money.
Follow the money, as they said in Watergate.
The money is in Beijing.
Beijing's also, it's been reported, was trying to ship them weapons to all types of false fronts and false countries, and they're trying to do it.
Because they want us tied down in the Middle East.
This kind of cuts to the chase because right now we're saying all of our allies, at least the way it's been stated in the last hour, our allies' oil and liquefied natural gas can come and go and maybe even be escorted by a Navy vessel.
But if you're coming out in one of these ghost gray ships or Iranian flag or something that's going to India or particularly the Chinese Communist Party, you're going to be sent over to Anchorage over here.
And so, this is going to cut the mullah's cash off, right?
And it's also going to cut off the Chinese Communist Party.
They need this oil, right?
I think it's up to 20%, or it's 80% of the foreign oil they take in, or it's 20 cents, a huge amount, which they can't because he's got economic pressure right now.
Isn't this the forcing function that we've been looking for, Captain?
This is a full spectrum, whole of government approach to dealing with the People's Republic of China and the situation in the Middle East.
And many times I get accused because I'm a retired Navy officer that I look at the world only through the military lens.
But clearly, what's happening is in this economic realm is part of this comprehensive strategy to constrain what China is doing to try to reorder the world.
Get rid of the dollar as the primary currency, reorder the global diplomatic system, the UN, everything against the United States.
And President Trump is using every tool in his kit bag to stop that and to actually reorder it so that it's kind of a judo move.
He's flipping what they thought was on their advantage with this activity by their proxy in Iran.
It's being flipped on them in Beijing.
Had to deal with this before from any other administration.
And right now it's very serious.
And so we need to be prepared for a rash reaction from the Iranians.
Sam Faddis had a good post out or article and magazine about this and the things that Iran could do.
And we need to be prepared for that.
But that doesn't mean we should be dissuaded from our mission.
But we just need to be prepared for a response that the Iranians could go very kinetic and try to.
You know, overwhelm certain systems with the last remaining missile systems that they have.
But I think this blockade is going to be very, very difficult for the Iranians to stop because they have not the capability to be able to destroy our naval vessels out at sea.
We have taken that away from them.
There's always a possibility of the golden BB or the lucky shot, but in reality, they do not have the ISR, intelligence surveillance reconnaissance architecture.
To provide queuing data to their missile systems to be able to provide the overwhelming numbers of missiles that would be required to overwhelm our defensive capabilities.
And if they cannot get inside those protective bubbles of our carrier and expeditionary strike groups, our ships will be able to conduct the blockade operations to basically chokehold Iran, and no ships will be able to come out.
And again, maybe they get one or two out, whatever.
But if we control 99 or 90% or 80% of what Iran is able to get out of the country, that'll have a dramatic impact on their own ability to stay in power.
It'll have an impact when there's no more services and food and other things coming in, and especially the money.
And so, what is the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps going to do when they have no more money, when they have no more access?
We have to think, and as Sam wrote in his article, we have to think about The borders with Afghanistan, the Russians in the Caspian Sea.
There are other areas where Iran can still get some resources and trade.
But I think the president has that in his power as well.
But right now, the blockade will be a severe blow to the Iranian regime and to the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing.
Thank you for coming on over the weekend and updating us today as the blockade starts.
Michael Kunzler, Michael, we wanted you on this morning because everybody's talking about supply chain issues, the CCP are warning about it because petroleum is at the basis of everything.
There are massive supply chain issues that people are now becoming aware of.
It's one of the reasons that capital markets throughout the world are focused on exactly what's happening.
You would think that probably one of the ones people don't think about enough is what happens in actual pharmaceuticals, vitamins, all that.
Can you get us up to date on these supply chain issues?
How you guys are helping the war room, helping the war room posse out, sir?
So I'll start with a lot of medications that we're starting to see coming on back order.
And these are potentially maintenance drugs, emergency drugs.
We have quite a bit actually that are starting to come on back order.
Now, how long is that back order?
It could be a day, it could be a week.
But this is kind of just to start on our level.
We always had mentioned, I think a month ago, that it usually takes about three to six months for us to feel it.
Just based on the supply chain that's within the United States.
But yeah, and it starts from not even just the medicines, the packaging, the transportation.
A lot of the world's drugs come from that side of the world, India and China.
It's over 80%.
And so we do have to rely on these countries to manufacture a lot of the pure powder forms of drugs that we manufacture here in the United States.
And it's an unfortunate thing, but it's due to government regulations.
And so, with us relying on China specifically, the strait being blockaded at the moment, it is causing some supply chain issues.
Like I mentioned, the most popular drug that we're currently out of is progesterone, 100 milligrams, which is a vital medication for women over the age of 40 and 50 years old.
And so that is just one of a list of, I think, 15 I have with my pharmacist that we're currently trying to source from other wholesalers.
And so obviously we have the capabilities to compound some of these drugs.
Because on the counter side, if you see what's happening strategically, People are saying, hey, they're going to hold back the rare earths.
But remember from the war on pandemic, 100% of the basic pharmaceutical ingredients that go into the generics is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
That has not changed.
President Trump's tried to do some things in the United States, I think, particularly of a plant down in Richmond.
But essentially, even if you go to India, the basic pharmaceutical ingredients are all controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
So this is not even a logistics thing.
This could get to be a strategic thing where they choke you down.
We've warned about this from the early days of the pandemic.
Michael Kunstler, founder, CEO of All Family Pharmacy.
The team over the weekend came on just extraordinary, got you guys ahead of the curve.
We're going to go momentarily to the Commonwealth of Virginia and the great state of Texas to talk about grassroots victories and grassroots efforts that are using the collective agency of the little guy to make fundamental and huge change in this country.
Michael Concert, I want to go back to you.
So, so.
Folks have been with this show since the early days because we're the first ones to call the pandemic back in mid January 2020 because of our understanding of China and the Chinese Communist Party.
One of the things we warned about at the time, and we had many experts on here that would come on and say, talk about, hey, America's not awake to this, but 100% of basically your pharmaceuticals and your vitamins come out of China.
And in fact, if you guys think India's doing this, all the core ingredients of pharmaceuticals, the active pharmaceutical ingredients, All come from China.
And China uses it as a moneymaker, but it's also a strategic weapon.
I want to warn people that as this thing gets tough, and it's going to get tough, the threat of rare earths, the threat of this, of your vitamins and medicines, they're going to use every strategic weapon they can get.
Because right now in this blockade, President Trump's got them in their most vulnerable.
And that is, they need that oil coming out of the Persian Gulf.
And they have an amazing deal with the mullahs, a huge discount.
To basically finance the mullahs when nobody else would finance them.
Now, we have never stepped in to stop that, which we should have many years ago, but this blockade is supposed to do that.
Now, Michael Kunzler, before people didn't have something like all family pharmacy and get ahead of it.
And folks, you better think about getting ahead of it now because the Chinese Communist Party, this is a strategic weapon for them.
So it's just not the increased cost of the logistics and getting on a ship and the diesels at six bucks.
All that's going to play into it too.
But the thing that you've got to be concerned about is that they will use anything in the book to choke us down, particularly when you're going to go eyeball to eyeball on this.
Michael Kunzler, walk me through one more time.
You're already starting, I mean, this is great.
Over the weekend, he came and said, Hey, I'm already starting to see this, and we want to make sure people get ahead of it before it's too late.
So, what are you seeing, and how do people specifically go to all family pharmacy to get ahead of it, sir?
Like I said, we're starting to see a lot of medications go on back order, and we're trying to source them from other wholesalers.
Across the board, generally speaking, it's one by one, and it'll continue if the straight is not open.
As you mentioned, a lot of this stuff does come from China and India specifically.
Now, when it does come from those countries, I just want to reiterate we only work with FDA registered facilities.
You can find a lot of companies online that don't work with those facilities, and that's when you're going to run into some problems with those types of medications.
But yeah, as long as the straight is blockaded, medications won't come to the side of the world.
It's going to take a few months to really, really feel it, but we're starting to get into that part.
We're about a month or two in.
Like I said, progesterone is completely out of stock.
I can't find it anywhere.
When it comes back into stock, we've seen it come back in for a day and the price was doubled.
And so people are going to take advantage of this here in the United States.
Unfortunately, there are companies that like to do that to us.
But we're going to continue to fight to lower prices.
And if not, we just compound the medication ourselves.
You could go to allfamilypharmacy.com to place an order.
If you're worried about your maintenance drugs, stuff that you're consistently on, it's very cheap.
$25 for a three month supply.
$40, $50 for a six month supply.
If you'd like to stay ahead of the curb, I highly suggest it.
We have the Bannon 30 code going on right now.
Bannon 30 will be good for any biohacking drug or any maintenance medication or ivermectin.
30% off.
Buy it now while we have it in stock.
We're going to continue to try to keep everything in stock, but it's getting tough.
Michael, real quickly, I want to make sure when people go, if they don't know, can they talk to your customer service reps and kind of go through, hey, here's what I've got.
And your customer service reps say, hey, look, are they thinking about getting ahead of this one or this fine?
How do they actually start to connect with your people to find out in their own personal situation what's most relevant?
Yeah, so we highly suggest that you call in and speak to one of our reps, one of our pharmacists.
The reason why is because everybody has a different lifestyle, everybody's different.
You may or may not need one medication, and an individual might need another.
So, based on your lifestyle, speak to one of our representatives.
They're going to suggest a few medications.
If you're looking for a maintenance drug that you're on, they're going to help you find it if you can't find it on the website.
So, we do highly suggest you call in and speak to somebody so that we get the order right.
We want to make sure that we get you the right medications.
We also want to make sure that we get the accurate health information to our doctors.
That is something that is of importance because we want to make sure the medication helps you and it doesn't hurt you.
Speaking to one of our reps, they're going to go through all of the medication lists and the health problems or the health questions very thoroughly with you allergies, current medications, and health problems so that we can accurately send that off to a doctor prior to them speaking with you so that they can actually dispense the medications to you or write that prescription in a manner that's only going to help and not hurt.
So, allfamilypharmacy.com, and they've put back up the 30% discount, Bannon 30.
So, make sure you go check that out.
Last thing, Bobby Kennedy's been talking a lot about.
Was it in Hollywood?
I said peptides, all these new types of what they call biohacks.
It's beyond me.
But if people go to all family pharmacy, your customer service reps can talk to pharmacists or put people in touch with doctors and pharmacists so they can work through this and see if it's right for them.
If you have questions about peptides, we have other peptides that are not listed on the website.
We actually work with a third party company that has a manufacturer here in Texas and a distribution here in Florida.
And so peptides is the newest.
A brand new medication coming out.
There are natural amino acids derived by the body, something RFK Jr. is very big on, and that we're helping the fight with the FDA so that they can get it out of schedule two and they can allow pharmacies like ourselves to compound the drugs in a safe manner for our patients and our doctors to provide protocols to these patients so that they can take them in a safe manner.
There are drugs out there that are peptides that are way better than anti inflammatories.
They don't harm your liver, they're not going to cause you blood thinning problems.
They're going to bring down inflammation in an amazing way.
I've taken a few of them and I continue to take them.
I love them.
It's something Bobby's huge on.
As you can see, based on his fitness, he looks like he's in great shape.
And I think some of that is to do with the peptides that he's taking.
Appreciate you coming on and appreciate your worry about the supply chain.
People got to get focused on this.
Make sure you don't get caught up.
Something happens.
People don't get caught up.
The Chinese Communist Party is going to use every tool in the toolbox, as is the United States of America.
Jack Dyer, Hanover County, GOP.
Sir, there's something going on in Virginia.
You guys were so outgunned when this whole referendum started about this radical change of going from 6 5 representation on a state that's about.
What, 45, 46, 47% Republican or votes Republican, with the Democrats trying to go 10 to 1, this kind of radical by this radical governor that's gotten in there.
But right now it's at a dead heat, and that's because grassroots people are going on, knocking on doors, voter contact, what's most important.
Key walkers, what has inspired people to do this?
Because folks all over the nation, the grassroots movement, particularly as they say, oh, we're going to lose the House, we're going to lose the Senate, it's the end of times.
You guys are inspiring the country.
What is actually happening in the Commonwealth of Virginia now, sir?
I want to make sure people understand what Spamberg and these people are trying to do.
They're basically redistricting, they put it on this referendum, and the courts aren't going to stop them to essentially shift all this to these concentration, particularly up in Northern Virginia, which has just become an extension of Washington, D.C.
So, what do you mean when you say rural counties?
Are going to have their representation taken away, going to really lose what is the taproot of what it means to be a member of the Commonwealth of Virginia?
I mean, we've heard this outpouring of folks going door to door and making voter contact because the Democrats have poured in, I think, $50 million is the number I hear turned around.
Is it inspired people to go door to door to try to stop this?
Door to door, phone calls, actually donating money.
We're doing something that we've got four digital billboards.
That we have in the city of Richmond that have about 2.2 million weekly views, car views, that we raised money in about a 48 hour period and $20,000 for digital billboards.
We put out over 3,000 postcards.
We put out over 3,000.
We've covered Hanover County with over 3,000 yard signs.
We had a lady come up from a Democrat party last week and basically told one of our people, You're covering up our county with signs.
It's unfair.
So that's what actually we literally have a tent earlier, our early voting tent, and it's manned constantly.
Early voting, we have a tent up during early voting for a 45 day period.
And our tents have been manned constantly during that whole timeframe.
And we have had numerous voters come up and give a thumbs up, picking up our no vote buttons, calling other people to get them to the polls to vote.
We're running a little bit ahead of track as far as voter turnout in Hanover than what we did in the last governorial race.
And the majority of that, I feel very strongly, is actually the upset citizens of Hanover County that don't want this change.
They see it's wrong as being wrong.
The billboard, I give you the reason on the billboard.
We wanted to get our message out, but we don't have the funds to do it.
But we got pissed off over in Page County when they put a billboard up over there and said Trump was in support of this referendum.
So we got so upset.
We raised the money to come up with these four digital billboards that basically, in the first message we put out there, we put Spanberger up on it and her quote in 2019 of basically she was against gerrymandering.
And with digital billboards, we get to change our message.
So we get, we've changed our message twice now.
And it's getting a lot of reaction, a lot of positive reaction off of those billboards.
And we've had town halls.
We've had town halls.
Those people from the town hall meetings have gone back out into Hanover County and said, we got to stop this.
So we feel good about it.
Our people are given, we asked for 100%.
A lot of them give them 150%.
Some of them give them 200%.
At the end of the day, the collateral damage over this referendum, if it passes, again, we lose Virginia, but it actually will damage the bedrock principles of our republic.
Well, no, and I think it's important that this is happening and the fight back is happening in the Commonwealth, which is the cradle of the American Revolution.
Jack, where do people go that want to find out more and assist, either give money or if they can assist any other way, not just in the Commonwealth, but across the country?
Because this has become, as you said, absolutely central to the potential impeachment of President Trump to control the House, but they're much deeper.
This is where they're trying to take rural America and shut them up.
And trust me, if they pull it off in Virginia, they're going to try to do it everywhere because they understand that the strength of this country comes from these small towns and villages and communities.
There's membership or donations that you can jump on.
You can volunteer.
This is where it starts.
It's just local.
It's all local.
It starts right here.
You can't keep it straight in your own backyard.
You're not going to get it straight elsewhere.
That's where it's got to happen.
I ask the people in Hanover and in Virginia, vote now, vote no, and do it now.
Bring your friends, your families, and vote.
We have had a lot of that.
We've actually have in Virginia, if they turn 18 by November the 3rd, they can actually vote in this particular race.
And they've actually brought their children up there and registered them, and they are voting no in this particular race.
We've also asked all the people in Virginia.
Well, in Hanover County, to pick up their phone, their cell phone, and call every contact in their cell phone and ask the people they're contacting to do the same.
And to know that the Democrats know how important it is, put $50 million in Keem Jeffries, all that crowd, and here you're fighting back with this populist grassroots.
Yes, we have a Facebook page, Republican Facebook page.
They can go on and find out.
Actually, that's another thing that we did not have before this particular election we did have a Facebook page, but we did not have a social media team.
And we developed a social media team that basically is actually hammering it out in social media, not only on Facebook, but our other.
This thing was a blowout six, seven, eight weeks ago before the grassroots guys like Jack Dyer and all the people in the community got around it.
We're actually going to be announcing this afternoon or maybe tomorrow morning on the show.
I'm trying to get landing page or anything like that.
We're going to be doing an event in Hanover County on Sunday afternoon from 4 p.m. to 8 to basically thank everybody throughout the state that can make it there.
All the door knockers, everybody participated, the social media people, people.
This is one of the most inspirational of all the MAGA turnout right now to fight back.
And you're just riding to the sound of the guns, which has been extraordinary.
So we're going to have Mo Ben and others.
We're going to be announcing maybe on the afternoon show today.
And Natalie's going to take the five.
I'm on the six.
So we're going to announce it sometime today.
And if not tomorrow, with everywhere you can get tickets, all going to be free, 100% free.
Just want to make sure that we.
Know how many people are coming so that we can organize it best.
That'll be Sunday from 4 to 8 p.m.
You do not want to miss it.
We'll have a bunch of folks there for some just good camaraderie, hanging out at the end of the early vote and to get ready for Tuesday, the next Tuesday, game day.
Julie Pickering, talk about a populist revolt in Texas.
What were our results and how did we get there, ma'am?
One dear friend of mine, Marian Markarian, a music award winner, she sang God Bless America.
And I had people throughout the building saying, Julie, we heard God Bless America at lunchtime in our office.
I mean, it was incredible.
Your voices were heard, the patriots that watch your show.
And thank you, Steve, from the bottom of my heart, from the bottom of my Texas heart.
Thank you.
We changed the course of history last week.
So, just to go over some of the huge wins first and foremost, everything that was in the standards that was going to honor Muhammad or honor Islam or bring Sharia law into teaching our children you know, the lies that the Alamo was built and designed to honor Islam or that America enslaved the best and the brightest Muslims in Africa.
At the foundation of our country, so that they could come over as slave labor to build our country, to make our country great.
All of those lies defeated, gone.
They do not exist anymore in Texas education standards.
So that was a fantastic whim.
But you know what?
That wasn't enough.
Getting rid of the lies was not enough.
We had to replace it with the truth.
We had to replace it with patriotism, that our Judeo Christian values are at the foundation of America, that America and Texas are exceptional.
So just a few of the really great wins were in world history.
We added the impact.
Of world history, the impact of the world of the printing press and the impact of the Gutenberg Bible and how it changed the course of world history.
In elementary, we introduced the Black Robe Regiment to our elementary children, the importance of these pastors that changed the course of America's history.
And then we take that same idea and we bring it up into junior high and we're going to teach the importance of the Black Robe Regiment sermons on the Declaration of Independence.
You know, Declaration of Independence topics.
Came straight from those sermons that were being preached.
Even England at the time said that it was the thunder from our church's pulpits that was igniting the fire of freedom in America.
So we're going to teach that now.
Also, in the directives to our teachers.
So at the beginning of our standards, we have directives to our teachers and we added patriotism.
We added the directive to our teachers that they will teach everything through a patriotic lens, which is mandated by state law.
And then in elementary, coming back to elementary, we added that practicing good citizenship, practicing good U.S. and Texas citizenship is standing up proudly.
Facing the flag, putting your hand over your heart, and saying the Pledge of Allegiance.
So we added that into elementary to train our kindergartners, first graders, and second graders that it's an honor to be a U.S. citizen.
It's a privilege to say the Pledge of Allegiance.
The other great thing that we added was we added in elementary that they now have to memorize the Star Spangled Banner.
Steve, you know, the Star Spangled Banner is one of the most beautiful poems that was later moved into a song ever written.
And so now our children are going to memorize the Star Spangled Banner.
And then also, let's not forget about the Mayflower Compact and the Magna Carta.
So we had huge wins.
I offered up over 20 amendments that put Judeo Christian values in the patriotism back.
So we went from having 91 witnesses back in the fall, 89 being lined up by this terrorist organization, only two, to now overwhelming.
We got about a minute and a half.
What are the lessons that we should derive?
From when people know about something, they're prepared to stand up, they're prepared to stand in the breach in Texas, particularly because they're coming after the jewel of the crown.
What lessons are we to derive from making sure that we've got patriots in the grassroots actively involved in all this, ma'am?
The lesson to derive from this is that your voice matters.
This was going the wrong direction.
We were headed to an Islamification, a radical Islamification of Texas education.
Steve and great people across this country, they rose up, they spoke up, they showed up.
So over four days, we met for 64 hours over four days last week.
We had two days.
We probably had well over 24 hours of public testimony and all the patriots that came that waited hours to speak saying they want Judeo Christian values in education.
They want patriotism in education.
It made all the difference in the world.
So I'm going to tell your listeners again a great, Big thank you from Texas.
And this will change, these new social studies standards will change the course of U.S. history back to what America was intended to do.
This will truly make America great again.
But now we took the hill.
So we won all of this at our last meeting last week.
We took the hill, but we'll come back for second reading and final adoption in June.
So we're going to need help again to hold the line, to hold these victories and hold this line.
But Steve, you have the most incredible listeners in all of America.
For all the help in Texas, Glenn and Jenny's story, just an extraordinary job.
This is a company that supports your values.
You say, well, hey, what are those values?
What you just saw in this Texas education school book fight.
I might add, so Patriot Mobile, 972 Patriot.
You'll talk to somebody with the East Texas accent about why Patriot Mobile is the finest mobile service out there.
Also, how they support causes and events that are close to your heart.
So, Patriot Mobile, 972 Patriot.
You might ask when Brandon Hall and Julie have been on here, you talk about these amendments and what they want in the school books.
A lot of people are saying, don't they teach that already?
Well, the fact is they don't.
This is why it's been so controversial.
This is not just about the Islamists.
This is about the corporations and the business community who don't want to ruffle any feathers and just let's get along.
And, you know, we don't care what's to those kids.
What's in a book is in a book.
Why does it matter?
What matters a lot.
Hopefully, you've seen in this Virginia and Georgia situation of fighting for the stolen election.
President Trump was telling Bart Romy yesterday everybody knows the 2020 election is stolen.
Well, they do, but we haven't made it part of the official record yet.
Let's say that.
I think there may be some things happening at the White House that I think may double down on what or go back to what John Solomon's talking about.
We haven't held these people accountable.
The deep state's still running wild.
You can see a lot of that in this situation we got ourselves into in Iran, in Persia.
Love it, the deep state at work.
So, no, these things may seem basic, but no, they're not in the textbooks.
So, it's controversial because you had Islamists in trying to change it, but it was bad enough to begin with.
Hopefully, you're seeing the Commonwealth in Virginia, who, against all odds, have kind of now drawn even on this.
In Georgia, with these heroes who stood in the breach, they're still standing in the breach as we fight through the stolen election of 2020 in Georgia, who people have been threatened with jail and bankruptcy and all that for now half a decade.
And you see in Texas, you are the cavalry.
Nobody's coming to save you.
Nobody's coming to save this country.
Nobody.
Only you.
And now we want to start going through every other state and places like North Carolina and South Carolina.
You know, all these look, if they're teaching this crap and trying to force it into Texas, and we had to get these people like Julie Pickering and Brandon Hall and others, just a handful of people on the state school board, and then they flood the zone.
With the voices of MAGA and the voices of the grassroots populist movement.
We need to do it at other places.
You need to get no stone left unturned, and only you're going to do it.
But here's the good news once you're saddled up as the cavalry, nobody can stop you.
This is why they fear you.
And this is why they want us in a million different directions and dissipating and yelling and screaming.
And there's a lot of stuff to yell and scream about.
I got that.
A lot of stuff to scream about, but there's also work that needs to be done, and actions are going to mean a lot more than words here, they just are.
The situation in Virginia is and it's still hanging by balance.
That's why these grassroots folks in Virginia have gone door to door with the voter contact say, Hey, here's what's going on.
You heard right there, Jack Dyer.
What's amazing, Jack sounds like every guy in Hanover County is just north of Richmond, just north of the north side of Richmond, where I was.
Jack sounds like just about every guy I went to military prep school down there in Benedictine.
These are guys of few words, but powerful actions.
And that's what it takes powerful actions.
Your agency, nothing can stop it.
Once we're focused and understand where we got to put lead on the target, nothing can stop it.
And you're seeing this across the country.
And so, no, we got to look at all these textbooks.
You got to look at it.
And I realize it's, you know, it's, it's, Unrelenting.
It doesn't stop.
But that's the process of history.
Go back and look.
If you love history and read history, just go back.
It's all a process and it doesn't stop.
And you got to fight all the time.
And if we don't quit, we win.
Take your number two prince of let and write that down and underline.
If we do not quit, we win.
Because we're on the side of the angels.
But the angels and divine providence need human agency to manifest itself in this veil of tears that we're in.
So just remember that.
And remember when you got to Jack Dyers and the Julie Pickrins and the Brandon Halls.
These are all the people that they don't want to have platforms, that they don't want to hear from, and they don't want to have them have access to inspire other people.
And that is the basic reason for this show and the basic reason for this platform.
Mike Lindell, you were one that answered this call.
You were a businessman with one of the most successful entrepreneur companies in this country until you said, hey, you know what?
This 2020 election doesn't look right to me.
Ever since then, sir, they have tried to arrest you, charge you with crimes, bankrupt you, discourage your employees.
Basically, even the Christian Recovery Network that you founded after you went from a degenerate gambler and a drug addict.
To embracing God and becoming one of the most successful entrepreneurs and leaders in this country.
