Episode 5327: Chaos And Confusion Around Peace Talks; The Elite's Plan To Live Forever
Bannon's War Room Episode 5327 examines U.S. Navy minesweeping shortages in the Strait of Hormuz amidst Iranian peace talks with Kushner and Witkoff, where port blockade preconditions remain unresolved despite a third carrier group deployment. The episode details Trump's alleged weaponization of the Justice Department, potential Democratic impeachment efforts, redistricting conflicts, and DeSantis's AI regulation special session. It further explores transhumanist immortality pursuits by Thiel and Bezos before concluding with Mike Lindell's school policy critiques, suggesting a chaotic landscape where elite longevity ambitions clash with immediate geopolitical instability. [Automatically generated summary]
Yeah, this is really kind of the worst time for this to happen because the Navy just retired its minesweeping fleet and is still building up its fleet of robotics minesweepers.
So we're kind of at the low point right now in Navy minesweeping capacity.
And right now, what the Navy's challenge is, is trying to get some initial ships in there to be able to start.
Clearing mines because they moved everything out of the strait and out of the Persian Gulf at the start of the war.
So now they're having to bring all of that back in and begin at least the slow process of using robots to search for mines along the transit lane in the strait so we can at least bring Navy ships in and out.
I think that the Navy has largely done that part of it already.
So is it clear how empowered the Iranian foreign minister is to actually negotiate on behalf of the Supreme Leader and the Revolutionary Guard commanders?
He seems to have the authority of whoever in Iran is controlling.
Is in control of sending him and a delegation to Pakistan to put the Iranians' position face to face to the Pakistani mediators here.
His meeting with the army, the commander of the army, the field marshal here, Asim Maneer, is meeting with the foreign minister, his meeting with the interior minister.
These are the interlocutors that the parliamentary speaker, when he came here from Iran two weeks ago, met with.
So the Pakistanis seem to be taking him as a person representative.
Representing the Iranian position at the moment.
And that's what he says is here to represent.
I think that there's sort of some confusion that I think relates perhaps to sequencing.
The Iranian foreign minister landed about five hours ago.
He landed out at the VIP airport here, is having his meetings very close to that airport in the army headquarters, which is nearby.
As we understand, those meetings have gone through the night about five hours now.
His plane is still on the ground.
But when he came in, he said he was coming here.
and then he was going to go to Oman, and then he was going to go to Moscow.
And it's not clear if the foreign minister spokesman is kind of making a message for public consumption, international consumption.
But it's quite possible Iran's foreign minister is having a meeting here.
He'll take off, leave the country, and may circle back, if all the meetings go well, for that meeting with Jared Kushner and Steve Whitkoff, potentially Sunday, potentially Monday.
Oh, gosh, you're not being hyperbolic at all, Simone.
This is the furthest thing from normal.
This is the thing that I find myself having trouble communicating to the American public because it's so extraordinary.
And you're right, we kind of get used to it after a while.
But every single one of these cases is an outrage in the sense that they are built on thin evidence and they're being pushed through the Justice Department often over the objections of career attorneys or they move the career attorneys aside who say, hey, there's no evidence here.
And Todd Blanch, the thing about Todd Blanch is that he knows better.
He was a respected prosecutor in the Southern District of New York for eight years until one day he left his private law firm and decided to go work for Donald Trump.
And he's been making these kinds of compromises ever since.
And, you know, he said the other day that Donald Trump has a right and a duty to tell the Justice Department which cases, which criminal cases to investigate and which targets to go after.
That is the opposite of the way the Justice Department has run, particularly post Watergate.
But even before that, you didn't see this kind of blatant weaponization with the president saying, go investigate that person and find a crime.
This is really bad.
And it's not my opinion.
This is the opinion of all kinds of current and former Justice Department officials and FBI agents that I talk to on a daily basis.
They're horrified by what's going on here, and they're very concerned that we're only a year into this thing.
There's three more years to go.
They've moved aside thousands of attorneys and hundreds of FBI agents, and they're continuing to work their will on this DOJ.
If, in fact, because you're right, Anderson, Iran drew a very clear precondition the U.S. has to lift the blockade of Iranian ports before they'll even have talks.
If Iran is now coming to Pakistan and these talks happen, Then they've blinked a little bit.
And that's actually fairly rare for the Iranians to do once they lay down a precondition like that.
So I think that's important to watch.
Second is Pakistan, which Beth just mentioned.
Look, oftentimes when you're dealing with a mediator, they really want this process to succeed.
Pakistan has a lot on the line.
I suspect they're putting some spin on the ball, Anderson, with both sides, suggesting maybe there's some progress when in fact the two sides might be quite far apart.
It's very difficult when you're dealing with mediators.
So hopefully there's a face to face here.
The third point I would say, though, Anderson, is that the third aircraft carrier coming into the Middle East is significant.
I've dealt with Middle East policy for a long time.
Honestly, I've never seen that in my time.
It goes all the way back to 2003.
That is an awful lot of firepower.
And I think at least the U.S. is signaling that if there is not a diplomatic path here, that we are prepared to militarily perhaps take control of the Strait of Hormuz, which is a very difficult military mission, but that seems to be the signaling.
Paris strike group, which comes with destroyers and submarines, unless you're pretty serious about perhaps an operation that can come.
I hope it doesn't come to that.
I hope the diplomacy can get on track, but I share Beth's.
It's almost impossible in modern polling, given the ideological impulses of base voters, to get much lower than he is in terms of his unfavorable ratings, but also how unpopular he is when it comes to the economy, when it comes to inflation, even when it comes to the non border enforcement part of immigration.
He is very, very low.
Still has Republicans, most Republicans.
With him, but that's even sinking.
And I think the biggest alarm for him and for Republicans is they look at the House map and it looks like almost impossible for them to keep control of the House.
They look at the Senate and they start to look at states like Iowa, Ohio, Alaska, Texas, Maine, all which should be very, very winnable, maybe not even competitive, and they all look suddenly in danger.
To me, the most interesting thing is talking to people around the president.
Their language and body language has changed markedly in the last two months.
They know.
They're in a huge hole, and it's going to be really, really hard to get out of it.
They don't even really defend it anymore.
They understand that we're here by a series of choices that the president made by himself.
How to prosecute this war was his choice.
To do tariffs the way he did was his choice.
To unleash ICE into neighborhoods before ICE was properly trained to do it was his choice.
To then promote that in a very chest thumping type of way was his choice.
And now Republicans are having to pay for that.
And I don't think you're going to see Republicans and Congress necessarily turn on him in force.
But I can tell you right now, there's a tremendous amount of pressure on the people around the president to change this cabinet, to get some more people in here, some fresh blood, some clear thinking.
Or they worry they're just going to get wiped out.
And as we're reporting this morning, day one, Democrats will impeach him.
I don't think he cares that much.
He's been impeached before.
He'll survive it in the Senate.
But that's the fate.
And he can ignore the subpoenas.
Oh, his friends and family can't.
All those companies can't.
Like, he's coming for a political hell, and that's going to be tough.
Seems to be some core infusion about this, about who are we actually negotiating with, or is there a negotiation?
I do want, do we have the clip?
Can we play about the carrier battle of strike groups again?
I just want to make sure you get the buried lead out of our.
There are two buried leads in the cold open.
Number one is this.
Which we're going to play again.
And then at the end, Jim Vander Hey over at Axios talking about that yesterday piece, the lead on Axios, about how what I've been warning about the Democrats have a very organized, systematic way that they're going to destroy President Trump and the Trump movement once they take, if they are to take the House and the Senator, particularly the House.
And that is why the grassroots in this country and the Trump supporters, the true supporters, are fighting.
Tooth and nail.
Big event this week.
Obviously, the redistricting wars.
And when you hear all these people say, oh, they're redistricting wars, it's total nonsense.
They forget 22.
We wouldn't have had the House unless we did redistricting wars.
New York started, the Democrats started it.
We stole a march on them at 22.
That's why we took the House of Representatives and at least had some sort of control during the madness of Biden's regime.
Let's go ahead and play this again on the.
And Dr. Thayer, I think, is with us.
Let's play this again about the carrier battle groups.
If, in fact, because you're right, Anderson, Iran drew a very clear precondition.
The U.S. has to lift the blockade of Iranian ports before they'll even have talks.
If Iran is now coming to Pakistan and these talks happen, then they've blinked a little bit.
And that's actually fairly rare for the Iranians to do once they lay down a precondition like that.
So I think that's important to watch.
Second is Pakistan, which Beth just mentioned.
Look, oftentimes when you're dealing with a mediator, they really want this process to succeed.
Pakistan has a lot on the line.
I suspect they're putting some spin on the ball, Anderson, with both sides suggesting maybe there's some progress when, in fact, the two sides might be quite far apart.
It's very difficult when you're dealing with mediators.
So, hopefully, there's a face to face here.
The third point I would say, though, Anderson, is that the third aircraft carrier coming into the Middle East is significant.
I've dealt with Middle East policy for a long time.
Honestly, I've never seen that in my time.
It goes all the way back to 2003.
That is an awful lot of firepower.
And I think at least the U.S. is signaling that if there is not a diplomatic path here, That we are prepared to militarily perhaps take control of the Strait of Hormuz, which is a very difficult military mission, but that seems to be the signaling.
You don't deploy a third aircraft carrier strike group, which comes with destroyers and submarines, unless you're pretty serious about perhaps an operation that can come.
I hope it doesn't come to that.
I hope the diplomacy can get on track, but I share Beth's caution, and I'm not particularly optimistic here.
I think since they're supposedly not going to meet with us and we're not going to deal, President Trump's not going to play games of dealing through intermediaries.
We're back to that again, which is one of the ways we got here in the first place.
I do believe it's not just a third carrier strike group, there's more assets flowing into the region.
And as we have said, there's going to come a point in time.
And remember, we hate this war, but you have to win it.
And we have to win it and kind of move on and get the hell out of there.
The pirate, the Brigands, the Barbary Coast pirates.
That have seized the Strait of Hormuz somehow are going to have to be dealt with.
You can't deal with it diplomatically.
If you can't deal with it through economic coercion, you may have to go in there and just dig them out.
Dig them out, get the Arabs in there as your partner, the Europeans, and then toss it to them.
We got a minute on this side.
Dr. Thayer, on that topic of where we are, your thoughts, sir?
A clearly frenetic diplomatic activity, but it's really in the wrong place Islamabad.
The reports that you had in the cold open, the CNN reports and others, Steve, I think are illuminating.
And Carolyn Levitt has said that the Iranians have requested talks, and whether that's going to be happening today with Witkoff and Kushner obviously remains to be seen.
But this isn't where this issue is going to be decided.
And so I think what's going to be happening is it's going to take President Trump talking more directly with Xi, whether that occurs in May or whether that occurs obviously sooner through other media to bring this to a head.
But the Iranians are under enormous pressure militarily, of course, with the military power that we have, the firepower that we have within the region.
The way that they've been stressed and attraded.
And it seems that there is the opportunity to bring this to a close.
But, Steve, your point about Trump isn't going to be playing games with it.
If the Iranians don't want to come around on enrichment and on the straight, this war is going to start again.
Why, over the last five or six years, have we written The End of the Dollar Empire, the seven free installments, the eighth installment's out now?
It's to make sure that a working class and middle class audience could understand the way the world works.
If you do not understand capital markets, and the central way to understand that, we believe, is to understand the U.S. dollar as the prime reserve currency for the total financial system of the world and gold.
As an alternative or a hedge against the dollar's supremacy.
Well, lo and behold, right here, Jillian Ted, today's Financial Times of London, right?
The most powerful financial paper in the world, a massive article about something we've talked about on this show.
Fed under Warsh could embrace Besant's geoeconomic agenda.
Where did you hear that over those years?
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Scott Besant is contributor to War Room.
The sub headlines The Treasury Secretary wants to use swap lines to wait for it.
Lock in dollar supremacy.
That this whole discussion on swap lines is about locking in because obviously they're concerned about the BRICS nations, concerned about, I think the implications in his Scott's testimony the other day, the disorderly sale of assets, of financial assets.
That would be U.S. Treasury, sir.
When Scott Besson, we got a $39 trillion debt, we got to refinance a third of that debt every year, as we tell you.
You got to take care of the customers, and you got to make sure the petrodollar reigns supreme.
Where are you going to learn about that?
End of the dollar empire.
Go talk to the FARCs at Birch Gold.
We live in times of financial turbulence when the United States Central Bank, the Federal Reserve, and the Secretary of Treasury are talking about.
And as he said, hey, everybody in the Gulf came to us for this to make sure that we lock in against, wait for it, the Chinese Communist Party.
And as Dr. Thayer said, that's what the drill is here the CCP in the United States of America.
It's quite evident.
You need to talk to Philip Patrick and his team today.
Birchgold.com, promo code BANN, end of the dollar empire, seven free installments.
You can order the book.
It's on back order if you go there, exclusively at Birchgold.
The eighth free installment's out too.
Immerse yourself, think about it, chew on it, get a bunch of questions, and then talk to Philip Patrick and the team.
Do it today.
Dr. Thayer, and get Tajian here and admit, Dr. Thayer, the third carrier battle group is there for a reason.
Well, in 79 and 80, we had two carrier battle groups on Gonzo Station and Camel Station up in the North Arabian Sea, but this is the close, and they're going to take it.
I also want to recommend there's an item out, if we could put it up.
About why we got into this war, put out by the State Department, that says, and I think I quote, we got into this war because we were at the request of an ally that was being attacked or going to be attacked.
Israel.
Can we get that up?
I want to make sure we got that.
There's another, there's a deeper piece from the State Department you must read.
I want to make sure Grace and Mo push this out, and Elizabeth push this out to everybody so they can see it.
Their words, not mine.
Article yesterday in Politico about how the West Wing thinks Marco is just.
Grown so much and such a great potential presidential candidate.
And then there's a piece in the Financial Times this morning about where's Marco?
Like missing in action.
And so all these articles are coming out.
Here's, I strongly recommend in the New York Times piece the other day, the leak about the National Security Council, where they had the headline, Trump got us in the war, how Trump took us to war.
Let me just make an observation.
I think people in the West Wing, I'm not thinking it's great right now to be leaking about and talking to the media.
About prospects for 2028 and who's going to be prospects for 2028.
Also, when you read the Maggie Haberman piece, it's very disheartening to see direct quotes from JD Vance and Marco Rubio and General Kane basically saying, Oh, we told Trump that the intelligence, the Israelis were lying to us and this was all farcical, but he did it anyway.
We told him about Hormuz, but he did it anyway.
Yeah, that doesn't wash.
Not going to work.
Jim Vander Hey laid it out.
The Democrats are coming for us and they're coming hard.
Don't think their 2028 does not exist right now.
It's not relevant.
Here's what's relevant tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next day.
You win the day, you win the week, you win the month, you win the year, you win.
Victory begets victory.
And that's not where we're seeing right now.
Certainly not where we're seeing.
The appellate court yesterday throughout the asylum, you're going to have, unless we move quickly to the Supreme Court and get a stay over the weekend or next week, you're going to have them all lined up down at the border again.
The appellate court threw out President Trump's ban of the asylum seekers.
So we're in it now.
And there's only one path out of here.
And people can bitch and moan and complain and point fingers about how we got here.
I got it.
I hate this war.
But we are where we are, and we got to cut our way through this, get through this, and make sure that we can get everybody back home and refocus on what we need to focus on, which is things like, oh, let me think mass deportations.
Right?
And maybe not spending $1.5 trillion on our military that really helps the Saudis and Europe, all that.
Let them pay for it.
And as we talk about and get set for, looks like a military operation to open up Hormuz since the blockade is working and putting young American citizens, men and women, in harm's way, we got to get those Arab princelings up.
I'm tired of hearing about these guys throwing big parties.
On, you know, when Qatar and UAE and all these guys are throwing big parties on White House correspondence, we get done washing for me.
Doesn't wash that Qatar throws the big party yesterday.
I want to see all those princelings.
I want to see them in the Middle East.
I want to see them in a uniform with a weapon in their hand.
I want to see them ready to go to the cliffs of Hormuz and take on the Persians.
That's what they should be focused on, not partying here and greasing up this town.
What's happening in the imperial capital will make you vomit.
It's absolutely revolting.
And anybody going to these parties and associating with this crowd understand you're nothing but a traitor because you're trying to feather your bed and cut your deals and cut President Trump loose in the MAGA movement.
Not going to happen.
I saw it in Texas and I've seen it in Virginia.
The working class people and the backbone of this movement, they're ready for a fight.
They're down for a fight.
And we're going to have a fight.
So, my recommendation to the West Wing, not that the West Wing, you know, stop the leaks.
Stop pushing people and stop focusing on 2028.
Focus on tomorrow.
Focus on winning tomorrow and then winning this week and what that entails.
Dr. Thayer, your thoughts on how do we use the forcing function to the Chinese Communist Party?
Because right now, I do think we're kind of losing the plot here, running around to Islamabad.
There's no need to go to Islamabad.
I don't think.
They're jerking us around.
They want us to talk to Pakistanis.
We don't need to talk to Pakistanis.
They're controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, too.
We need to have direct talks, the direct talks should be with Xi about how this thing gets wound down, sir.
So, what has to happen, of course, is that the costs to Beijing are considerable, but they're not sufficient yet.
We need to ensure that Xi Jinping recognizes that the longer this war goes on, the higher costs he's going to have to pay, whether it's the issue linkage or whether it's in terms of oil and coming out of the Hormuz, but also from the Gulf shakedoms, right, from other states as well.
We're going to have to start.
Increasing the cost to Xi Jinping to get him to apply greater pressure to Tehran to use his might to ensure that Tehran is getting a message from everybody that this war has to end.
They're going to have to yield on enrichment and they're going to have to yield on the straight.
I don't think that's going to happen without having the war restarting, this conflict restarting, because the Iranians are not yet.
Take your phone out, text Bann and B A N N O N at 989898.
Get the ultimate guide for investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump.
Most importantly, no obligation, totally free.
Get to talk to Philip Patrick and the team.
Do it today.
They're trying to strengthen the dollar, which I agree with.
I just don't think we ought to be giving any breaks to the Gulf Emirates.
Our allies, America's greatest ally, our allies.
Yeah, they're allies.
They're throwing big parties here in Washington, D.C. All those punks in Qatar and that embassy ought to be over there in camis with a weapon doing some training right now, not sitting here whining and dining, partying nonstop.
In the United States of America, who in the hell would they be here partying in our Capitol?
It's grotesque.
And if you go to those parties and you're sliming up with them, you're part of the problem.
It's revolting.
Even as we, as Dr. Thayer punched out here and went back to his writing and thinking about this as a geostrategist, the New York Post is reporting wait for it, folks.
The Iranian team has left headline Iranian delegation leaves Pakistan without round two of peace talks with the U.S.
I think reopening the strait is going to be a tough task.
Getting all the mines out, and then there are hypersonic missiles in caves all along those cliffs on the Persian Gulf.
And then you have the Iranian drones, the Shahid drones.
So if we can figure out a way to defeat the drones, and basically we have two options either militarily bomb them back to the Stone Age into submission if they submit, or continue.
With these peace talks and trying to make a deal, buddy.
Gets us jacked up early in the morning at the 5 a.m. hour.
Joe Allen, there's a huge event taking place this week in a special session being called by Ron DeSantis for the redistricting, and that's going to be a flat out fight.
Dogfight.
Also, in Commonwealth Virginia, folks will cover it on Monday at their Supreme Court.
However, he's got two things in the special session, at least two.
The other is this bill, the AI bill.
This morning, Wall Street Journal's reporting certain staff over the White House are not happy with that and they're fighting nonstop to restrict these bills.
We're forced to Have these, Joe Allen, because the simple fact that they haven't put forward a regulatory apparatus yet, a regulatory proposal that has even a modicum of a chance to support.
People have to understand, and they should understand 85% of their followers of our political muscle here hates totally unregulated AI, correct?
I mean, you've now dedicated your life to this, sir.
Yeah, the polling shows across the board, the American public is very, very uneasy about AI to say the least.
Depending on the poll, you'll either find a large minority or a majority that are absolutely put out with it.
They want nothing to do with it.
It goes from education to culture, it goes to economics.
So the voters are absolutely on the side of those trying to, at the very least, regulate AI, if not restrict AI.
But, you know, as we've reported, as Elizabeth Mitchell of Daily Signal has been reporting for some time, the White House is basically making every effort to nuke AI.
State level AI bills from orbit.
This happened in Florida, this happened in Utah, it's happening in Nebraska, Tennessee, Missouri, as the Wall Street Journal reported.
So the White House and the advisors driving this are absolutely pushing an agenda that is emanating out of Silicon Valley, emanating out of wealth.
They are relying on these massive war chests, these super PACs, to support their side of the argument, which is basically AI should be unregulated or The regulation should be tailored as lightly as possible.
It should be a light touch approach.
On the other hand, you have the state level approach and the municipal approach against the data centers, in which, when you hear the citizenry out, the citizenry either wants restriction or, in the case of, for instance, the data centers, a total ban, at least in their communities.
Yeah, I think, I actually think that the whole gamut from municipal, from local to state level to federal is going to be necessary.
I mean, these state laws are going to remain in effect unless you have federal legislation that preempts it.
So that whole patchwork, so to speak, I think is actually going to be really important because it's going to speak.
To local and regional communities as opposed to this one overarching federal thing.
But in regard to something like Anthropic and Mythos, you know, you've got this massive neural network, this large language model that was designed to code and is capable of finding vulnerabilities and exploiting those vulnerabilities across the board.
It's extremely dangerous.
Now, Anthropic made the decision not to release it except to certain corporations like NVIDIA, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services.
But in the future, you don't have that kind of assurance.
And hackers had access to Mythos for some length of time.
So I think that it is reasonable if you can staff an agency like the Department of Energy with AI experts who understand the technology and work with people who have worked in surveillance and monitoring and regulation of nuclear material.
Okay, when we come back, I'm going to ask the question now.
I'll give you a second to chew on it.
You just said preemption.
They are still pushing.
You say there's going to be a patchwork or some sort of ecosystem of various state regulations and local municipal regulations.
But their driving force and focus in the reason for the Wall Street Journal, they leak to the Wall Street Journal, is that they are pushing still a total preemption where they get something passed up here that preempts that and makes the federal law the supremacy.
It's supreme to everything else.
That's their goal.
Okay, take a short break.
Joe Anna's going to stick with us.
Also, we're going to get Mike Lindell.
Another situation up in Minnesota where the public schools are offering, they won't put the Ten Commandments up and they will never put a cross up.
But guess what?
They're going to set aside space in public schools in Minnesota for Muslim prayer rooms, believe it or not.
Okay, short commercial break.
Financial Times Day, we'll get this out where it all becomes clear on those swap lines to our Arab allies in the Gulf.
Is all to, as they quote in the sub headline, lock in dollar supremacy in the petrodollar.
That's where you've got to get the end of the dollar empire.
Birchgold.com, promo code Bannon.
Start at the beginning, it's seven.
It'll take you a weekend to chew through it, think about it.
It's all free, no obligation.
You get to talk to Philip Patrick and the team at Birchgold.
So, bottom line is they are trying to push for this preemption.
We're fighting this.
More on that during the week.
We said when you first came on here five years ago, four or five years ago, transhumanism, you're an editor because all the oligarchs think about is living eternal life.
And they're talking about, you know, with science being at the level it is today, soon, perhaps, we'll be living forever.
And I mean, this is really, this idea has suffused Silicon Valley.
You know, in this article, it's a fantastic piece and it falls into a longstanding genre.
One of the best examples of the genre, the genre of immortality tech, the Great Mambo Chicken and the Transhuman Condition by Ed Regis.
And that's from 1990.
And at the time, Ed Regis is going around to different scientists looking at their projects, right?
It's pretty fringe at that point.
By the time I started reporting and writing on this five years ago, you already had people like Peter Thiel, you had people like Jeff Bezos, Ray Kurzweil, Martine Rothblatt, all of these people pushing towards.
Immortality tech.
And these aren't, I mean, they may be a bit fringe to the regular audience.
Speaking of Elon Musk and Xi Jinping and China, one of the best parts of the article that McConnell wrote is looking at the 24 histories in China, the histories of the dynasties.
And he points out that during the Tang Dynasty, like 7th to 10th century AD, that during the Tang Dynasty, you had no less than six emperors who drank the concoctions of their Taoist alchemists and died.
Died immediately.
Yes, and I think that's probably indicative of where this is going.
It's an experience like no other, and he'll work the crowd, and you'll get not just a selfie, but you get to really meet him.
Joe Allen, thank you so much, brother.
Always fantastic.
Mike Lindell.
Minnesota, why are you allowing, sir, Muslim prayer rooms in public schools when you can't have a Ten Commandments or a cross or anybody, any kid praying there for Christianity, sir?
Remember a few years ago, and right before we went in for the virus, I spoke at the Rose Garden.
I said a nation had turned its back on God.
We had taken God out of our schools, and we need to get back in the Word and back with our families.
And, Steve, they want to replace.
God with Islam.
And Minnesota, I said back then, was the Trojan horse for Islam and the invasion of Minnesota, in which it is.
You had what's going on right now, OSEO schools, they just voted to bring in Islam inside the classrooms.
And this is 20 minutes from where I grew up, where my kids went to school, is five minutes from my Christian church.
This is horrific.
Steve, one of the things when I'm governor, I'm going to be fighting this.
This is one of my number one things.
You go to mikelindellgov.com, everybody.
Remember, Waltz has bragged on Jimmy Kimmel that we're Minnesota nice and we do all this.
Well, there's a difference between nice and stupid.
I mean, this is where we're at.
We have to fight this head on.
I talked to the teachers in Minnesota, and they have a thing where part of their wages go to fund these no king rallies and stuff, and they're afraid to sign the sheet to get off of that.
They said they have problems in the classrooms, but there's no discipline.
Putting in these prayer rooms to interrupt the class during the day.
Steve, it's absolutely disgusting.
And I'm going to fight it.
I think I'm the only Republican that even has the courage to say, you need to ban Sharia law.
