Bannon's War Room - Episode 5056： Keeping Texas Free For Americans; Ridding Minnesota Of Somali Fraud

00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:00:07.000 Pray for our enemies.

00:00:09.000 Because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:12.000 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:16.000 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:18.000 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:20.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:00:22.000 but you're not going to stop it.

00:00:23.000 It's going to happen.

00:00:24.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:27.000 MAGA Media.

00:00:29.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:34.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:38.000 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:44.000 War Room.

00:00:45.000 Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

00:00:50.000 It's Friday, 9 January at Year of Our Lord, 2026.

00:00:54.000 We're in Texas in the Metroplex area, Dallas-Fort Worth.

00:00:58.000 We're here.

00:00:59.000 Huge event this evening about stopping Sharia law in Texas and reversing this Islamic invasion of the first among equals of our beloved states in the Union. 1.00

00:01:16.000 That would be the great state of Texas, the mythical great state of Texas.

00:01:20.000 Chip Roy is going to join me here momentarily.

00:01:22.000 I want to finish with Wade Miller.

00:01:23.000 Wade, a president even said on Hannity, I think it was this exclusive interview, you know, talking about the midterm elections.

00:01:29.000 You've come up with a solution.

00:01:31.000 Look, when we did the 2020 census, Stephen Miller and I had worked on this in 17 extensively.

00:01:37.000 We were very specific.

00:01:39.000 Miller and I, we had a thing that had no illegal aliens, none of these college kids running around.

00:01:43.000 I mean, this was going to be a real census of American citizens and where the hell they live, work and vote.

00:01:49.000 And, of course, Wilbur Ross and a bunch of these globalists that were in the Trump administration, Wilbur Ross over at Commerce retorked it.

00:01:56.000 We won in courts about what we could do.

00:01:58.000 They retorked it.

00:01:59.000 That didn't happen.

00:02:00.000 That census data is still there.

00:02:02.000 CRA is calling for what to have a truly fair election in these midterms.

00:02:07.000 We're doing these redistricting fights.

00:02:09.000 We won in Texas with five.

00:02:10.000 Brian Harrison is going to join a second.

00:02:12.000 DeSantis just said yesterday we're rolling there.

00:02:15.000 There's other states where we had, you know, had a hit a speed bump with the Republican establishment.

00:02:21.000 Mike Pence in this crowd, Indiana.

00:02:23.000 What are you calling for right now, sir?

00:02:25.000 Sure.

00:02:26.000 So, millions of people were counted that should not have been counted.

00:02:29.000 Illegals. 0.95

00:02:30.000 Biden brought them in.

00:02:31.000 It affected apportionment.

00:02:32.000 It affected redistricting.

00:02:33.000 We can go in and republish that data.

00:02:35.000 You don't have to redo the census.

00:02:37.000 Just go in, get rid of differential privacy, which created tons of fake data and threw out all of the data.

00:02:44.000 Do data corrections.

00:02:45.000 The Census Bureau admitted that six seats went to Democrat states that should not have.

00:02:49.000 That itself should trigger a reapportionment process.

00:02:53.000 And then all of that data, if you account for how the college students were illegally counted, other data revisions, that would trigger all sorts of redistricting.

00:03:02.000 We know that the Supreme Court is probably going to come down and we're hoping that they'll get rid of the majority minority district criteria.

00:03:08.000 That's going to force redistricting.

00:03:10.000 So, if Howard Lutnick, who's a very smart guy, I think he understands this problem, and Joyce Meyer, who's one of the deputies there at Commerce.

00:03:17.000 If they don't start lighting a fire at Census to get them to republish and do all of this data corrections, it's going to be too late to impact that window.

00:03:25.000 And there's a real chance, there's a possibility, that the outcomes of the next election will not be fairly decided.

00:03:31.000 And that, you know, this time next year, Democrats could be impeaching Donald Trump on bogus grounds.

00:03:37.000 And part of that reason might be because census didn't do this.

00:03:40.000 It should have been done by now.

00:03:42.000 They need a light of fire under the operation there and get them to start moving forward on this.

00:03:48.000 It's really important, and it could be the difference between saving America and not.

00:03:53.000 The Supreme Court has not come back with the DEI districts of the Black Caucus and all that, the Louisiana issue, I think, and they're still dealing with that.

00:04:01.000 Do we have enough time to have your plan?

00:04:03.000 Does Lutnick have enough time to do this?

00:04:05.000 I think so.

00:04:07.000 Again, it should have been done by now, but I think that, you know, the next date the court is scheduled to do opinions is February 20th.

00:04:15.000 They could come back before that.

00:04:17.000 But I do think that if they made this a huge priority, I think that they could knock this out by then.

00:04:21.000 I think they could do that.

00:04:22.000 And then it would bleed directly into that redistricting process.

00:04:25.000 And it could mean, you know, quite a few seats switch.

00:04:29.000 And that could be the difference maker between who controls Congress in 2027.

00:04:33.000 Wade, thank you for all the work you guys have been doing on this, on the Islamic takeover of the country. 1.00

00:04:39.000 We want to see more of it from you guys.

00:04:40.000 You guys are fantastic.

00:04:41.000 Where do people go to see CRA in your social media, sir?

00:04:45.000 Sure.

00:04:46.000 AmericaRenewing.com.

00:04:47.000 That's AmericaRenewing.com.

00:04:48.000 And on X, I'm Wade Miller.

00:04:50.000 Sir, thank you.

00:04:52.000 Thank you for all the work you're doing.

00:04:53.000 Russ Vogt and part of your team are in the government over at OMB, helping, making things happen.

00:04:58.000 You guys are doing an amazing job over there right now.

00:05:01.000 Thank you.

00:05:02.000 Chip Roy joins us.

00:05:03.000 Chip, what do you think about Wade's and Russ Vogt and all these guys' idea about this?

00:05:07.000 The census is so messed up.

00:05:08.000 You talk about the midterm elections.

00:05:09.000 I mean, you're heading out to run for attorney general in the state of Texas.

00:05:15.000 What do you think about getting this census right so we can get this redistricting correct?

00:05:19.000 So we actually have, we know they're making up all kinds of false allegations about President Trump right now.

00:05:24.000 He understands they're coming for him if they take it.

00:05:26.000 What are your thoughts about this?

00:05:28.000 Yeah, Steve, these are absolutely the right direction to be headed.

00:05:33.000 Wade is exactly right.

00:05:34.000 Wade, you may know, is my former chief of staff.

00:05:36.000 He's a good friend.

00:05:37.000 Obviously, Russ Vogt, great friend who's over at OMB.

00:05:39.000 Wade and I worked together, and I don't know if you know this.

00:05:42.000 We held a hearing in the subcommittee on the Constitution in which we had witnesses talking about this.

00:05:48.000 I think this was in November where we raised this profile trying to make sure that people are aware of this.

00:05:54.000 Now, I've had conversations with a lot, Nick.

00:05:56.000 I think this is an important issue that a lot of people won't even understand, and it goes right hand in hand with the president's correct instinct to pass the bill that I authored, the SAVE Act, to guarantee that only citizens vote, American citizens vote in American elections.

00:06:09.000 We need to have voter ID.

00:06:10.000 We need to have other reforms.

00:06:12.000 But this is the one that I think gets to the heart of how they're abusing the process to guarantee that they're able to get the districts that they want to get, which, by the way, is the root of all of this stuff.

00:06:23.000 All of the things you're talking about with this event you have in Dallas-Fort Worth tonight, what we're seeing in Minneapolis, the organized effort by the radical left, the Marxists, through all of the NGOs, through Arabella, through United Nations funding, through George Soros funding, through Bill Gates funding, our taxpayer dollars.

00:06:41.000 They're taking all of this to engage in massive, not just fraud, but an effort to pack America with non-citizens so they can take our country over. 1.00

00:06:49.000 That's what's happening.

00:06:50.000 You know it.

00:06:51.000 I know it.

00:06:52.000 And we've got to be militant about this.

00:06:54.000 And we've got to make sure that only American citizens are voting. 0.57

00:06:57.000 Only American citizens are making the decisions about who their electorate is, and they're only counted in the census.

00:07:03.000 So 100% agree with Wade and Russ and everybody that's trying to work on this.

00:07:06.000 I think Howard's on top of it.

00:07:08.000 But we need to see fast action by the administration on this point.

00:07:11.000 Look, you and I have talked a lot over the years, but particularly here in the last couple of months, because you know I was not an advocate.

00:07:17.000 There's such a critical voice in the House on the Freedom Caucus of what's happening.

00:07:21.000 But one of the reasons you want to go back to your home state and run for attorney general is the fact of this issue about this Islamic invasion and Sharia law, particularly as attorney general. 0.70

00:07:32.000 What are your thoughts?

00:07:33.000 It's on the ballot in the primary on March 3rd.

00:07:36.000 What's your ballot? What's your thoughts about this, about shutting down Sharia law? 0.95

00:07:39.000 I mean, the New York Post just has a report out this morning, an investigation that Soros indivisible, but CAIR is financing what's happening in New York City.

00:07:48.000 What's happened in Minneapolis is resistance and what's happening in Portland.

00:07:51.000 The resistance because they don't want to see mass deportations.

00:07:55.000 And CAIR has been designated by the governor, Governor Abbott, as a terrorist organization.

00:08:00.000 The Santas did the same thing. 0.93

00:08:02.000 Quite frankly, more bravery than even the federal government right now because they're just talking about Muslim Brotherhood. 0.99

00:08:07.000 These brothers said Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR.

00:08:10.000 What is your position as running for attorney general of this great state?

00:08:15.000 Yes, Steve, number one, like I agree with you.

00:08:17.000 I hate leaving the House and my brothers and sisters in the Freedom Caucus where we've been trying to fight for change up here.

00:08:22.000 And we've been actually getting incremental change.

00:08:24.000 But we see what happens in real time just yesterday.

00:08:26.000 The Freedom Caucus largely voted against the massive CJS appropriations bill that continues to fund the very sanctuary cities that are giving sanctuary to criminals and the illegals that have come here, including Somalis that are attacking our law enforcement. 0.98

00:08:38.000 You can only do so much as one four hundred and thirty fifth of one half of one third up here.

00:08:43.000 As attorney general, the reason I'm running is I want to save Texas.

00:08:47.000 Texas is under assault and it is directly in conflict with Western civilization, Sharia law, CAIR, like you said.

00:08:54.000 The governor is absolutely right to declare them a terrorist organization.

00:08:57.000 I introduced legislation to take their tax status away earlier this fall before that designation because I recognize what's going on.

00:09:04.000 People don't understand.

00:09:05.000 In Dallas-Fort Worth, right, it's the epicenter of what the Muslim Brotherhood is trying to do to take over America and Texas. 1.00

00:09:12.000 That is ground zero right where you are right now, Steve.

00:09:15.000 There are no go zones in parts of the of the area around the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex where American citizen women don't want to go because they are going to feel like they're going to be looked at, shamed. 1.00

00:09:26.000 They're going to be put in harm's way.

00:09:28.000 And that's because of what we've done with with immigration, but also allowing all of this Sharia to get entrenched. 1.00

00:09:34.000 As attorney general, you can use the existing statutes, the Deceptive Trade Practices Act.

00:09:39.000 You can go try to shut down things like that epic city that they're now calling the Meadows.

00:09:44.000 But you also have to use the bully pulpit to stand up and call this out for what it is, a political assault on America, a political assault on Texas.

00:09:52.000 This is not just you can believe what you want to believe.

00:09:55.000 This is a coordinated political effort to Islamify Texas.

00:09:59.000 And you've got to say it.

00:10:00.000 You've got to mean it.

00:10:01.000 You've got to push the legislature to pass laws.

00:10:03.000 We've got to tweak the Texas Constitution.

00:10:06.000 Whatever is necessary to protect Texas from being Islamified by the radical Marxist, the red green axis. 0.87

00:10:15.000 You've seen the disaster in what's happened in the imperial capital of Washington, D.C., to allow these types of things.

00:10:21.000 Like you said, you're voting yesterday.

00:10:23.000 The Freedom Caucus is finally saying, guys, we can't pass these appropriations bills when President Trump's sitting there saying he doesn't want any more of this.

00:10:30.000 And we're actually funding more of it, of what ICE is there in Minneapolis, trying to reverse it and get it out of here.

00:10:36.000 Why is this happening in the imperial capital?

00:10:38.000 It's not just Democrats, because people look at the Freedom Caucus and say, oh, you guys are obstructionists.

00:10:43.000 It's tons of establishment Republicans.

00:10:47.000 What don't they get about the destruction of this republic, sir?

00:10:51.000 They have not yet embraced that there is a war going on against our way of life and that if you don't act against that war, you're going to lose it.

00:10:59.000 They won't even recognize the war exists without, you know, ensuring that they're – sorry, someone's calling in my Zoom.

00:11:07.000 They've got to recognize that there's a war against our way of life.

00:11:11.000 They're trapped in the idea that they've got to pass appropriations to go buy votes.

00:11:15.000 Americans don't need their votes bought.

00:11:17.000 The American people want members of Congress who are fighting to save the country.

00:11:21.000 And they just don't get it.

00:11:23.000 And look, we've made progress, Steve.

00:11:26.000 We are now talking about spending levels that are still roughly flat.

00:11:30.000 We are holding everything in the right direction because of our work back during the speaker's fight three years ago.

00:11:36.000 The changes we put in place with putting conservatives on appropriations on the rules committee.

00:11:40.000 Russ vote now over OMB.

00:11:42.000 We're making progress.

00:11:43.000 But what people don't understand is when you pass CJS appropriations, the Justice Department of Appropriations Bill, and in it are burned JAG grants that go to Minneapolis, New York, Dallas, and Houston, and have no constraints on that money from saying, hey, you can't be a sanctuary city.

00:12:01.000 You can't stand up and say ICE can't come in to enforce immigration laws.

00:12:05.000 When we have additional funding that are going through other grant programs that we know are getting abused just like we're seeing in Minneapolis, we should shut that down.

00:12:13.000 And by the way, we should pause all immigration. 1.00

00:12:16.000 I introduced a bill to do that because we should just stop.

00:12:19.000 We did that in the 1920s.

00:12:21.000 We have 51 and a half million foreign born people in the United States.

00:12:25.000 That is the biggest percentage in our history.

00:12:27.000 And now we are educating them with a corrupt education system that teaches our kids that America is the devil, that doesn't teach the Constitution, that doesn't teach our Christian and Judeo-Christian principles.

00:12:37.000 And we've got to stop it. 0.59

00:12:38.000 Stop importing people who want to kill us. 1.00

00:12:40.000 It's maddening, and Congress hasn't caught up to the fact that they're at war with us.

00:12:45.000 You've got to act like they're at war with us or you're going to lose it.

00:12:49.000 Chip, where do people go to find out more about what you're doing at the Freedom Caucus, this amazing plan you guys put together that wasn't discussed enough the other day over at the Kennedy Center?

00:12:58.000 We had Andy Harris on yesterday.

00:13:00.000 And you're run now for Attorney General of Texas.

00:13:03.000 Where do folks go?

00:13:04.000 Yeah, Chip Roy TX, C-H-I-P-R-O-Y-T-X on X slash Twitter.

00:13:09.000 ChipRoy.com is the website.

00:13:11.000 And, yeah, and look, one last point on this.

00:13:13.000 The reason I'm running for Attorney General is because we've got to have fighters to preserve and protect Texas.

00:13:18.000 I've got a proven track record.

00:13:19.000 I've got a, you know, all the scores show me directly in line with President Trump's agenda.

00:13:23.000 Literally, I'm number one in Texas, number two in the House, number five out of the Senate in the House in terms of my voting record in line with President Trump and the MAGA agenda.

00:13:32.000 And we need someone who gets it, who will be willing to stand up and fight.

00:13:35.000 And, by the way, who is a federal prosecutor and the former first assistant attorney general in Texas.

00:13:39.000 I'll miss the Freedom Caucus, but we've got a new generation, people like Eli Crane and other great Americans that are here.

00:13:45.000 And we've got to come together to fight to save this country.

00:13:47.000 And Texas is the epicenter and ground zero.

00:13:49.000 So thanks, Steve.

00:13:50.000 Chip, you're 100 percent correct.

00:13:52.000 That's why we're down here.

00:13:53.000 And we're going to make a big announcement about War Room in Texas.

00:13:56.000 Great.

00:13:57.000 Tonight at this event, because I got to tell you, Texas is everything right now.

00:14:00.000 We lose Texas.

00:14:01.000 It's gone, folks.

00:14:02.000 As Texas goes, so goes the nation.

00:14:04.000 As the nation goes, so goes the world.

00:14:06.000 Chip Roy, thank you so much.

00:14:07.000 Appreciate you, sir.

00:14:08.000 God bless, Steve.

00:14:09.000 Huge event tonight.

00:14:12.000 Stinchfield's going to emcee and do his show live tonight from the venue.

00:14:18.000 You're going to have Brian Glenn is going to be there.

00:14:21.000 Peter McIlvaney from England has come in.

00:14:25.000 We've got Gert Wilders.

00:14:29.000 I will say a few words.

00:14:32.000 I'll make some appropriate remarks as I normally do at these events.

00:14:36.000 And Glenn Beck has changed his schedule to come in.

00:14:39.000 He thinks it's important enough.

00:14:40.000 And Glenn's been all over this Islamic revolution from the beginning. 0.99

00:14:44.000 Glenn Beck's going to close it out tonight.

00:14:46.000 So a lot going on.

00:14:47.000 Short commercial break.

00:14:49.000 Tej Gill, Brian Harrison, John Gordano.

00:14:52.000 Next.

00:14:54.000 The War Room.

00:14:56.000 In America's heart.

00:15:00.000 If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt?

00:15:06.000 Let's see if we can help you with that.

00:15:09.000 If we could give yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief from your credit card and other debt?

00:15:15.000 I might have a solution.

00:15:16.000 I might have a solution.

00:15:18.000 Here's why now is the time to make a move.

00:15:20.000 This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books.

00:15:24.000 They clean up past due accounts.

00:15:27.000 They sell a right off the debt to clear their books.

00:15:30.000 That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before your end.

00:15:39.000 That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.

00:15:44.000 And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage.

00:15:48.000 They monitor lender trends and understand the year-end pressure on creditors.

00:15:53.000 They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf.

00:15:57.000 Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy or taking on new loans.

00:16:05.000 Done With Debt goes to work for you month one with one clear goal, to reduce your total debt and leave you with more money every month.

00:16:15.000 Get started now because your leverage may disappear at the end of the year.

00:19:48.000 Want to roll.

00:19:49.000 Tash Gill's here with me in Texas.

00:19:52.000 Tash, thanks for doing this.

00:19:53.000 Tash, your experience, how many deployments did you have for either as a Navy SEAL

00:19:59.000 or as essentially a contractor kind of off the books of the government, but still doing

00:20:04.000 the same work with the SEALs and others?

00:20:06.000 16 times to Iraq and Afghanistan.

00:20:08.000 So you've had the pleasure of going over to Islamic countries in defense of your country

00:20:13.000 16 times.

00:20:14.000 You're here and you said, hey, I hear you're going to Texas.

00:20:17.000 This Texas thing's out of control.

00:20:19.000 I've got so many buddies that are from Texas.

00:20:21.000 I think Texas provided the most troops in total.

00:20:25.000 If you looked at all the states, I think Texas, you know, with Florida and California, but

00:20:28.000 I think Texas provided the most troops in these wars in the Middle East.

00:20:33.000 Your thoughts about what's happening here in Texas and what we need to do about it.

00:20:37.000 It's got to be stopped, Steve.

00:20:39.000 Like Charlie Kirk says, Islam is not compatible with the West, especially when they're starting 1.00

00:20:44.000 to do this Sharia law stuff.

00:20:45.000 We can't have it here.

00:20:46.000 If they want to be here, they have to assimilate. 1.00

00:20:48.000 They have to love America.

00:20:49.000 They have to pledge allegiance to America and they have to put America first and the Constitution

00:20:53.000 first.

00:20:54.000 They can't bring Sharia law. 0.99

00:20:56.000 They have to assimilate. 0.98

00:20:57.000 If you can't assimilate, then you got to get out.

00:20:59.000 I agree with that.

00:21:00.000 If you don't, if you're not going to assimilate, you can't have the Sharia law. 0.98

00:21:05.000 You got to leave.

00:21:06.000 Right.

00:21:07.000 And otherwise we're just, we're having, we're setting up a problem for future generations.

00:21:12.000 That's exactly what's happening in Europe today.

00:21:14.000 Paris is gone.

00:21:16.000 London is gone.

00:21:17.000 Berlin and Germany are close to being gone.

00:21:20.000 The Netherlands, Gert Wilder is coming over tonight to talk.

00:21:23.000 That's how, that's how adamant he is.

00:21:25.000 He's been fighting this for 20 years in the Netherlands.

00:21:28.000 He's now the leading politician, but his fight finally they've awakened and he would

00:21:33.000 tell you, Hey, it's probably too late to reverse it.

00:21:35.000 Right.

00:21:36.000 That you have to respect the heritage of the country you're going into as an immigrant.

00:21:41.000 You can't go in there, take over the country and push out the locals.

00:21:45.000 You have to respect the heritage, especially here in Texas.

00:21:49.000 This belongs to Texans, not Muslims. 1.00

00:21:53.000 They have to respect the Texans.

00:21:55.000 They have to respect, respect the Americans.

00:21:57.000 They have to respect the constitution and they have to love the American flag.

00:22:02.000 They have to pledge allegiance to America.

00:22:04.000 And we know they don't.

00:22:05.000 No.

00:22:06.000 It's all BS.

00:22:07.000 Yeah.

00:22:08.000 Warpath Coffee.

00:22:09.000 We got, we were, we were at a place yesterday that Kevin, Kevin had Freeman had.

00:22:13.000 We are his studio, the economic warfare.

00:22:16.000 You're going to load that place up with the Warpath Coffee. 0.92

00:22:18.000 They were excited about it.

00:22:19.000 Talk to me about Warpath for a minute.

00:22:21.000 Yeah.

00:22:22.000 The website is warpath.coffee.

00:22:24.000 We just bumped the promo code up to 20%.

00:22:27.000 The promo code is war room.

00:22:28.000 So all weekend long, we're doing 20% off your entire order.

00:22:31.000 Plus there's free shipping over $85.

00:22:33.000 So warpath.coffee, promo code war room.

00:22:36.000 We're up at 16,000 five-star reviews.

00:22:39.000 People love this coffee.

00:22:41.000 You can drink it straight black.

00:22:43.000 And then we've got a huge following for our decaf.

00:22:47.000 It's a hundred percent Colombian decaf, which, which is crazy.

00:22:50.000 I know, but people love the decaf, which is insane.

00:22:53.000 People, we can't roast the decaf fast enough.

00:22:56.000 If you drink decaf in the Navy, you've got to put a skirt on, right?

00:22:59.000 Exactly.

00:23:00.000 Exactly.

00:23:01.000 You had this whole idea because the Navy coffee is so bad.

00:23:03.000 I know people have been asking us for years to do decaf.

00:23:05.000 So we finally did it.

00:23:06.000 And now we can't roast it fast enough.

00:23:07.000 This one would be a seller.

00:23:09.000 Yeah.

00:23:10.000 No, but that, no, what it shows you is how good this coffee tastes.

00:23:13.000 Yeah.

00:23:14.000 One of the things about Warpath, and it was so, your work on it,

00:23:17.000 was that it is the champagne of coffee.

00:23:19.000 It is.

00:23:20.000 You can drink this coffee without, people put cream and sugar in coffee

00:23:23.000 because of the acid, the acidity.

00:23:25.000 That's what they do to cut it. 0.98

00:23:26.000 Here, you drink coffee like it's supposed to be consumed.

00:23:29.000 Straight black. 0.95

00:23:30.000 Straight black. 0.98

00:23:31.000 Hot and black.

00:23:32.000 That's the way, and the taste is so amazing.

00:23:34.000 This is why you have so many people that say, hey, I want some decaf

00:23:38.000 because I may want to, you know, I really can't drink my Warpath.

00:23:41.000 You know, I will do it on the five o'clock show,

00:23:43.000 but if I do on the six o'clock show, I'm going to be up, right?

00:23:46.000 This thing is jacked.

00:23:47.000 No, but that's why people, they love the taste of it.

00:23:49.000 So they love, it's an experience of drinking coffee, and that's why I think-

00:23:53.000 The espresso, we played around with the espresso recipe for a while to get the right blend,

00:23:56.000 and you can drink the espresso straight black.

00:23:58.000 You don't need to put milk and sugar in the espresso.

00:24:00.000 You can just do straight black espresso shots.

00:24:02.000 It is smooth, and it is still strong.

00:24:05.000 Strong.

00:24:06.000 No.

00:24:07.000 It's super strong coffee.

00:24:08.000 I love the espresso.

00:24:09.000 Okay, one more time.

00:24:10.000 Where do they go?

00:24:11.000 I want everybody just to go to the website.

00:24:12.000 Read the reviews.

00:24:13.000 Tage, read the reviews.

00:24:15.000 Yep.

00:24:19.000 20% off your entire order this weekend.

00:24:21.000 It is the best coffee.

00:24:23.000 Just read the reviews.

00:24:24.000 The reviews are insane.

00:24:25.000 They speak for themselves, and we don't pay anybody to do the reviews.

00:24:29.000 We just send out an email, and people respond to them.

00:24:31.000 I appreciate what Tage is down with.

00:24:32.000 He won't let me get in too much trouble, so thank you for coming down here.

00:24:35.000 You're welcome.

00:24:36.000 Way from your beloved Idaho.

00:24:37.000 Brian Harrison, brother, we're down here in Texas.

00:24:41.000 What in the hell is going on, brother?

00:24:43.000 What in the hell is going on with the situation down in Texas with Sharia law? 0.67

00:24:48.000 Well, I mean, some people use the word invasion.

00:24:51.000 I think that there's no real way to overstate, as some of your previous guests have talked about,

00:24:57.000 the staggering numbers of people affiliated with violent strains of Islam that are terror-affiliated,

00:25:04.000 that do advocate for the violent overthrow of the government of the United States of America.

00:25:10.000 And just a couple statistics on that that I think people may find staggering.

00:25:13.000 We've got over 200 mosques currently operating in the north central Texas where I am in the Dallas area.

00:25:19.000 We have over 100 down in Houston, and they're growing.

00:25:22.000 We're opening up approximately two new mosques every month here in the state of Texas.

00:25:27.000 And here's the biggest thing I want to leave folks with because there's been a lot of gaslighting

00:25:30.000 and misinformation about this issue in terms of the Texas government's response to this.

00:25:34.000 There are a lot of people in the Austin establishment that have been putting out public statements saying,

00:25:38.000 you know, we're good down here.

00:25:39.000 We have banned Sharia law.

00:25:41.000 And I'll say this real quick about Sharia law.

00:25:43.000 Sharia law is not compatible with the founding precepts of our country that all men are created equal. 0.95

00:25:48.000 Sharia law is not compatible with the Constitution of the state of Texas, 0.81

00:25:51.000 not compatible with the Constitution of the United States.

00:25:54.000 Sharia law is not compatible with Western civilization. 0.99

00:25:56.000 But despite the rhetoric that folks may have heard coming out of the establishment in the Texas government,

00:26:01.000 the Texas government, if you hear only one thing, Steve, I want to get across to people,

00:26:05.000 the Texas government has not banned Sharia law in any meaningful way whatsoever.

00:26:11.000 I'm going to say that one more time.

00:26:13.000 The Texas government has not banned Sharia law.

00:26:17.000 We've got a lot of good rhetoric coming out of Austin.

00:26:19.000 But if that's the position of the Republican Texas government, supposedly Republican,

00:26:23.000 let's make it not just rhetoric.

00:26:26.000 Let's make it a reality.

00:26:28.000 We can go back into special session.

00:26:29.000 We can hold hearings.

00:26:30.000 We can pass bills to do more to combat this rising threat.

00:26:34.000 And that's what I'm advocating for down here.

00:26:36.000 Well, it's on the ballot for the Republican primary in March 2.

00:26:39.000 That's one of the reasons we're here today to kick this all off.

00:26:42.000 What are you recommending that be done kind of on the detail level of what has to be done?

00:26:49.000 Because the bottom line is this has to be banned.

00:26:51.000 The people in Texas can't be under the pressure anymore that they got this Sharia law. 0.75

00:26:56.000 So what are you recommending actually be done?

00:26:58.000 So there's a couple of things on that.

00:26:59.000 I mean, number one, I think the lowest of low hanging fruit is, and again,

00:27:03.000 people are going to be shocked to learn this is happening.

00:27:06.000 Stop funding these organizations that have ties to violent and militant Islam with tax dollars.

00:27:13.000 My office has confirmed that, yes, in fact, coming out of the government of the state of Texas,

00:27:16.000 millions of dollars of tax money has gone to these organizations.

00:27:21.000 So that's number one.

00:27:22.000 Number two, stop creating carve outs.

00:27:25.000 People say we've passed laws to ban Epic City.

00:27:28.000 Well, Epic City just rebranded.

00:27:29.000 It's called the Meadows, and it's proceeding on as fast as ever because of exceptions into laws we've passed that are supposed to deal with things like that.

00:27:38.000 And then number three, which again, I put these all in low hanging fruit, should have been done by now,

00:27:42.000 but it's far harder than people would imagine even though we're a Republican government down here.

00:27:47.000 The parts of the law that we have touched regarding Sharia, it's only one little part of the family code.

00:27:52.000 At a bare minimum, we should expand that to all the other relevant parts of the statutes and the codes down here in Texas.

00:27:58.000 We should be holding hearings on this, by the way.

00:28:00.000 Right now, something that I don't think has ever happened here in the state of Texas, not in many years.

00:28:04.000 So we need to be holding hearings and then doing those three things.

00:28:07.000 And there's nothing stopping us from doing that right now, today, tomorrow, this week.

00:28:10.000 The only reason we're not taking action, quite frankly, is because what Austin lacks is courage.

00:28:16.000 And it lacks it on many issues.

00:28:17.000 As you know, we've talked about that many times.

00:28:20.000 I want to go back to the money.

00:28:22.000 I saw an analysis yesterday.

00:28:23.000 I think a minimum coming from the state of Texas was $90 million.

00:28:28.000 And I don't think that included these Harmony schools, which is a whole radical sect of Islam from Turkey, right?

00:28:34.000 That they're financing these schools.

00:28:36.000 They had another number, which I think was federal spending and state spending for over 10 years was something like $4 billion.

00:28:43.000 There's money going from taxpayers in Texas, citizens of Texas, and citizens of the United States that are funding radical Islam here in the state of Texas. 0.74

00:28:53.000 How can that possibly be?

00:28:55.000 Well, I mean, just throw it on the laundry list of shocking, abhorrent, but true ways in which the Texas taxpayers, hardworking, overtaxed men and women in the state of Texas have for far too long, we're talking decades here, had their money taken from them by the state government, the supposedly Republican Texas government here, and weaponized against them, their children, and their values.

00:29:16.000 Their values, and the list is long.

00:29:18.000 They've been funding the biggest DEI program maybe in the country, some of the biggest transgender indoctrination in the country. 0.99

00:29:23.000 And then you're exactly right, Steve.

00:29:24.000 We don't know the exact number.

00:29:25.000 I don't think anybody does.

00:29:26.000 My office, best we can determine, at least in the tens of millions of dollars that have been flowing through grant programs through the state government out of Austin to these organizations that almost certainly have nexuses and ties to violent strains of Islam or terror organizations that do have the intent of the violent overthrow of the government of Texas, the government of the United States.

00:29:50.000 And the reality is the Texas government has been asleep at the wheel on this for far too long, and it's long past time to change.

00:29:57.000 And that's why I'm excited about the event we're doing down here tonight, because until people's eyes are opened, because again, I'm at the risk of putting too fine a point on this.

00:30:05.000 Texans have been lulled into complacency because of the statements from the Austin Uniparty establishment, which has been telling them for years that the Texas government has handled this.

00:30:16.000 It's not a threat here, and that we have, quote, banned Sharia law, that it's false.

00:30:20.000 And then the final point on that, the governor, to his credit, thank you, governor, he did designate Muslim Brotherhood.

00:30:25.000 He did designate CARE as terror organizations, and that's great, and that's good, and thank you, we should do that. 1.00

00:30:30.000 But words without action are meaningless.

00:30:34.000 And if these are terrorist organizations, and that's the official position of the government of the state of Texas, where are the investigations?

00:30:40.000 Where are the arrests?

00:30:41.000 Where are the people being put in handcuffs and charged with criminal or terror-related offenses?

00:30:46.000 And unfortunately, we just haven't seen that yet.

00:30:48.000 So what Texas want and deserve to be bold action, not just bold words.

00:30:52.000 New York Post has a story that cares in back of the resistance in Portland, Minneapolis, and New York City.

00:30:58.000 Anyway, we've got to go Brian Harrison.

00:31:00.000 What is that Twitter feed?

00:31:02.000 The one that lights them all up in Austin, what is it?

00:31:04.000 Yeah, the most hated Twitter feed in Austin, at Brian E. Harrison.

00:31:07.000 Please go there right now, like, follow, share, at Brian E. Harrison.

00:31:11.000 And because the swamp is trying to take me out in his March primaries, please go to votebrianharrison.com.

00:31:16.000 Help us out there, vote Brian Harrison.

00:31:18.000 We've got to save Texas.

00:31:19.000 As goes Texas, so goes America. 0.57

00:31:20.000 So goes America, so goes the world. 0.52

00:31:22.000 Always great to be with you, Stephen.

00:31:23.000 I look forward to seeing you tonight.

00:31:24.000 Look forward to seeing you.

00:31:25.000 Okay, we're going to go live.

00:31:26.000 Let's cut live to Minneapolis, the Secretary of Treasury, Scott Bessick.

00:31:29.000 I want to thank you all for joining us today.

00:31:32.000 I am here in greater Minneapolis, St. Paul.

00:31:36.000 And I am optimistic that we are going to put an end to this waste, fraud, and abuse,

00:31:42.000 that we are going to have recoveries for the American people,

00:31:45.000 and that we are going to hold people accountable, set an example, and make sure that federal aid gets to the people it was intended for and not to these fraudsters.

00:31:59.000 Minneapolis and St. Paul, like many communities, has suffered for years from the egregious negligence of the radical left's rule.

00:32:07.000 President Trump is committed to restoring accountability to put Minnesota back on the right track.

00:32:16.000 Under President Trump's leadership, the entire administration is focused on delivering results for the American people.

00:32:24.000 Our citizens have a right to know that their tax dollars are not being diverted to fund acts of global terror or to fund luxury cars for fraudsters.

00:32:35.000 Democratic Governor Tim Waltz has allowed welfare programs and fraud to spiral out of control.

00:32:46.000 Billions of dollars intended for hungry children, housing for disabled seniors, and services for children with special needs

00:32:53.000 were diverted to people who cheated the system, some of whom are not even American citizens.

00:32:59.000 At Treasury, we are thoroughly investigating the fraud, including funds sent to Somalia through money service businesses,

00:33:09.000 which provide financial services outside of a formal bank.

00:33:13.000 These funds could have potentially been diverted to the terrorist organization Al-Shabaab.

00:33:19.000 We have traced where the money went and are examining it.

00:33:23.000 Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, known as FinCEN, along with the IRS, are leading our investigation to examine

00:33:33.000 whether financial institutions have complied with their legal obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act and Treasury's regulations.

00:33:42.000 These requirements are designed to detect money laundering and other illicit activity,

00:33:48.000 counter the financing of terrorism, and safeguard the United States financial system from abuse.

00:33:55.000 Earlier this morning, I met with several financial institutions and made clear

00:34:00.000 we must do more to safeguard our nation from waste, fraud, and abuse.

00:34:06.000 The time has come for accountability. President Trump wants accountability.

00:34:11.000 I want accountability. The American people want accountability. And they will get accountability.

00:34:18.000 That is why I am announcing several initiatives Treasury is taking to target fraud here in Minnesota.

00:34:25.000 And the Minnesota protocols will serve as a genesis and a launching pad for investigations into other states.

00:34:36.000 First, we have followed the money and identified the money service businesses that may have transferred taxpayer funds overseas.

00:34:46.000 Our team at FinCEN has just provided formal notification to these businesses that they are under investigation.

00:34:55.000 These businesses had an obligation to comply with anti-money laundering laws and they will be held responsible for any crimes they committed.

00:35:06.000 FinCEN has also issued a geographic targeting order for Hennepin and Ramsey counties that require banks and money transmitters to report additional information about funds transferred outside of the United States.

00:35:22.000 This will put a microscope on these businesses, advance prosecutions, and assist in the recovery of funds laundered internationally.

00:35:33.000 Fraudsters in Minnesota stole at least $300 million meant for children in need.

00:35:39.000 And we must prevent fraud of this scale from occurring in the future.

00:35:44.000 Accordingly, FinCEN today issued an alert to financial institutions that will help them identify and report specific warning signs of fraud in federal child nutrition programs.

00:35:58.000 Fraud must be stamped out early.

00:36:01.000 And this alert will help law enforcement do just that.

00:36:05.000 Our investigators at IRS CI have played a critical role in uncovering fraud and the role of the IRS in these investigations will continue.

00:36:17.000 I am pleased to announce that IRS civil enforcement is auditing financial institutions that facilitated the laundering of Minnesota funds in addition to helping support criminal and civil enforcement efforts.

00:36:32.000 The IRS will also soon announce the formation of a task force to investigate any fraud and abuse involving pandemic era tax incentives and misuse of 501 tax exempt status by entities implicated in the Minnesota based social services fraud schemes.

00:36:54.000 We are committed to preventing fraud and fraudulent nonprofits from taking advantage of the American taxpayer.

00:37:02.000 Lastly, Treasury is providing training to Minnesota law enforcement on how to utilize financial data such as suspicious activity reports to better combat these fraud schemes.

00:37:14.000 We will not let the incompetence and recalcitrance of Governor Walz stop law enforcement from holding these perpetrators accountable.

00:37:24.000 President Trump is dedicated to ensuring honest Minnesotans are not cheated and their hard earned tax dollars are not being abused.

00:37:34.000 Treasury will deploy all tools to bring an end to this egregious unchecked fraud and hold perpetrators to account.

00:37:43.000 We look forward to sharing our findings and keeping you all updated.

00:37:48.000 Now I will turn it back over to my team and it will take some questions from the press.

00:37:54.000 Thank you.

00:37:56.000 Thank you so much, Mr. Secretary.

00:37:58.000 We have time for a few questions from reporters.

00:38:00.000 If you would like to ask a question, please use the raise your hand function on zoom.

00:38:05.000 Thank you.

00:38:06.000 I see our first question.

00:38:07.000 We'll go to Mary Margaret with The Daily Wire.

00:38:08.000 Mary Margaret, please ask your question.

00:38:09.000 Thank you, Secretary Bessence.

00:38:10.000 I wanted to ask if you could share what role Governor Tim Walz played in any of this, if any, and whether you have any indication that he won't seek the election because of anything that you may have uncovered so far.

00:38:30.000 Thank you.

00:38:34.000 I can't talk about ongoing investigations.

00:38:37.000 It's clear that Governor Walz has been negligent in his fiduciary duties as a chief executive of the state of Minnesota, that this would happen on his watch.

00:38:49.000 And we are actively pursuing all leads to see the level of involvement, whether it's limited to just negligence and incompetence or is something more than that.

00:39:06.000 Thank you.

00:39:07.000 I see Fatima with the Associated Press has a question.

00:39:10.000 Fatima, please ask your question.

00:39:13.000 Hi.

00:39:14.000 Thank you, Secretary Bessence, for taking questions on this issue.

00:39:19.000 I have a question related to the task force.

00:39:23.000 Does the, does Treasury plan to work with the Justice Department on this new division for fraud enforcement that was announced yesterday?

00:39:33.000 How are you working to ensure that some of these functions that are all being announced related to the fraud aren't duplicative?

00:39:41.000 Well, I think the better question is, how did these things, the slip through the safety protocols, the financial safety protocols that we had in place?

00:39:56.000 So if for a while we have depilative processes that stop this and bring this to heel because, and again, this is a larger scandal than Minnesota, then it is all hands on deck.

00:40:12.000 Once we get this, the huge amount of fraud under control, then we can worry about streamlining the procedures.

00:40:20.000 But as I said, President Trump has instructed several agencies in his administration, led by this new Assistant Attorney General, to end this fraud and recover funds for the American taxpayer.

00:40:39.000 Thank you.

00:40:42.000 I see Claire Jones with the Financial Times has a question.

00:40:45.000 Claire Jones, please ask your question.

00:40:47.000 Thanks a lot.

00:40:48.000 Thanks a lot.

00:40:49.000 Thanks a lot for the opportunity to ask the question and for making time to do this today.

00:40:53.000 You mentioned at the Economic Club of Minnesota yesterday that this is costing US taxpayers $600 billion in fraud.

00:41:02.000 What's your kind of baseline targets for how much you expect to recover with the sorts of measures that you've announced today?

00:41:10.000 Do you have any sorts of timeline to really close this rather substantial gap in what the US taxpayer should or to be receiving?

00:41:21.000 Well, again, because of the gross incompetence by the Waltz administration and the lack of leadership, we are just putting all that together now.

00:41:33.000 But as I just said to the previous question, all entities in the administration will be pursuing this so that we can get the biggest recoveries possible.

00:41:47.000 And we will see.

00:41:48.000 And we are going to leave no stone unturned.

00:41:53.000 Whether it was fraudulent real estate, whether it is money that has been wired overseas, we will be tracking it to the Middle East and East Africa.

00:42:02.000 You know, this is why Treasury is involved.

00:42:05.000 This is what we do.

00:42:06.000 We track.

00:42:07.000 We follow the money.

00:42:09.000 And we intend to follow it as much as we can.

00:42:13.000 Prosecute the individuals no matter where they are, whether they are in the Minnesota government or they are sitting in East Africa. 0.73

00:42:24.000 We will find them.

00:42:26.000 Thank you.

00:42:27.000 And I see Richard Escobedo with CBS has a question.

00:42:30.000 Richard, please state your question.

00:42:33.000 Thank you.

00:42:34.000 Thank you, Spencer.

00:42:35.000 And thank you, Mr. Secretary, for doing this this morning.

00:42:37.000 I have two questions.

00:42:38.000 I'm wondering if you can explain or elaborate on whether or not you found any evidence that indicates taxpayer dollars have flowed directly to terrorist organizations.

00:42:49.000 And then I do have a follow up after that.

00:42:52.000 Given the geographic proximity and the wires to East Africa, we are in the middle of investigations.

00:43:03.000 And what we have found is highly concerning.

00:43:06.000 I cannot talk about ongoing investigations.

00:43:09.000 But think of the absurdity.

00:43:11.000 Think of the absurdity of money being wired from Minnesota by these individuals that could have come from government programs or from excess benefits.

00:43:25.000 This should not be wired out of the country.

00:43:28.000 And we are going to be cracking down on that.

00:43:30.000 And then my second question is, you said on Fox last night that as a part of this geographical targeting order, the threshold for surveillance is being lowered to three thousand dollars.

00:43:41.000 Do you anticipate that that will be lowered to that will also be expanded into other states that that lower threshold?

00:43:50.000 And, you know, do you have any sense on what other states you anticipate having to do this in?

00:43:57.000 So we have lowered the it's called a geographical top targeting order, the GTOs.

00:44:03.000 We have used lower thresholds to get at the cartels along the U.S.-Mexico border.

00:44:09.000 And we view this crime as very similar to the cartels money laundering, many of the same approaches, many of the same shell companies.

00:44:20.000 So we will see where it goes out from here.

00:44:24.000 That will be a starting point.

00:44:26.000 And as I said, Minnesota is going to be the protocols, procedures and the investigative techniques as well as a collaboration with other agencies.

00:44:38.000 Minnesota is going to be the genesis for a national rollout.

00:44:44.000 Thank you.

00:44:46.000 Thank you.

00:44:47.000 And it looks like we have time for one more question.

00:44:49.000 And that will go to Alana Austin with Newsmax.

00:44:52.000 Hi.

00:44:53.000 Good morning.

00:44:54.000 Thank you so much, Secretary Besant, for your time.

00:44:57.000 I was wondering if there are any specific financial institutions that you think had lax practices that you're willing to name at this time.

00:45:05.000 And also, I'm trying to understand if Somali government officials actually directed individuals from the country to come to Minnesota to exploit vulnerable systems or whether you think that the bad actors were acting on their own.

00:45:20.000 So with the first question, as I said, we have targeted enhanced investigations for four MSBs, money service businesses, the in greater Minneapolis, St. Paul, as they are under investigation.

00:45:37.000 I cannot name those businesses.

00:45:40.000 We will make the details of the investigation available as they become, as we gather further information.

00:45:51.000 And your last question is an excellent one.

00:45:54.000 That we do not know the depth, breadth, and collusion in this financial calamity that Governor Waltz has allowed to have happen.

00:46:06.000 Was this directed from overseas?

00:46:09.000 Is it an endogenous flourishing of these fraudsters that Governor Waltz allowed to grow right here in the backyard and take advantage of hardworking people of Minnesota?

00:46:27.000 We'll see.

00:46:28.000 So we are going to track this everywhere from top to bottom, and we will get to the bottom of it.

00:46:35.000 And as we have more details, we will make those available.

00:46:38.000 And that's all the time we have.

00:46:41.000 Thank you all so much for joining.

00:46:45.000 Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

00:46:46.000 And that's all the time we have.

00:46:48.000 Okay, welcome.

00:46:53.000 That's the Secretary of Treasury, Scott Besson.

00:46:56.000 He's out in Minneapolis.

00:46:58.000 He went out there.

00:46:59.000 There's a previously scheduled talk he was going to have with the Economic Club of Minneapolis, I think it was, scheduled months ago.

00:47:08.000 And he decided to stay overnight.

00:47:10.000 He's been seeing factories.

00:47:11.000 I think our friend Marty Davis is going to go by Marty Davis's factories out there.

00:47:16.000 Jack Besson is going to do an interview with him on Real America's Voice, all of it.

00:47:20.000 First off, I'm here with Glenn Story, the founder and CEO of Patriot Mobile.

00:47:26.000 Just Scott Besson is Secretary of Treasury.

00:47:29.000 Do you like to cut up his jib, what he's doing, the President Trump's economy now for an entrepreneur,

00:47:35.000 a company under a billion dollars of sales or a billion dollars of value, one of these emerging growth companies?

00:47:40.000 Your thoughts?

00:47:41.000 I love him.

00:47:42.000 I think he's the best Treasury Secretary we've had in a long time.

00:47:46.000 Why do you say that?

00:47:47.000 You know, because he's making business.

00:47:49.000 He's really helping the small business guys, entrepreneurs like us.

00:47:54.000 I just think he's doing a fantastic job and he's standing up for America as opposed to standing up for others.

00:48:00.000 This event tonight, the event tonight is not about a religion.

00:48:06.000 It's not about freedom of religion.

00:48:07.000 It's about something very, very different.

00:48:09.000 We've had some great, we've had Wade Miller, Chip Roy, Brian Harrison.

00:48:13.000 Tomorrow, because the show was so jammed today, we're going to have, we're going to have many other guests.

00:48:17.000 Texans are going to join us to talk about the event tonight and going forward, particularly this Sharia law situation.

00:48:24.000 It's going to be on the ballot in the primary on March 3rd.

00:48:27.000 Just give me your sense, right, of what's going on down here.

00:48:31.000 I mean, yesterday, I spent the whole day after the show in really meetings and presentations, and I thought I knew a lot that was going on down here.

00:48:39.000 I was shocked the amount of money the state of Texas and the federal government has put in, I mean, hundreds of millions of dollars to support things down here.

00:48:49.000 And this is one of the reasons you can see why there's, what did Brian Harrison just tell us?

00:48:53.000 I think he said there's 300 mosques in Central and North Texas and another 100 mosques in the Houston area.

00:49:00.000 And you're growing at, and particularly in North Central Texas, two mosques per month.

00:49:05.000 Yeah, that's exactly right. If you look at a map, it's just littered with mosques. 1.00

00:49:10.000 And, you know, I want to qualify this. Look, I believe in the freedom of religion.

00:49:14.000 You know, I don't care if you're Sikh, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Christian.

00:49:17.000 I want you to be able to worship freely. However, it's not about that.

00:49:22.000 It's about the Sharia law component and coming in and taking over our U.S. Constitution. 1.00

00:49:29.000 You know, and that's that's where it gets most of us Texans.

00:49:32.000 And, you know, when we started talking about this back in August and then again in December, you know, you said, why don't we do something?

00:49:39.000 And I said, OK, let's figure out how we can do it. And you know what we did.

00:49:44.000 But here's the amazing thing. Gert Wilders, who's one of the most famous guys in Europe for stopping this and for warning people about it 20 years ago.

00:49:54.000 He and Peter McElvenny, who we broadcast his show and he's London.

00:49:59.000 You know, Gert was available, I think, coming to the West Coast.

00:50:04.000 There was a slot on the ninth. I think I called you guys.

00:50:07.000 It was Christmas Day or the day after. I mean, it's the middle of holidays.

00:50:10.000 I said, look, I know this is going to be impossible, but there's a thing he's coming.

00:50:14.000 We can build an entire evening around it if you guys think you can do it.

00:50:18.000 And you got back to me a couple of hours, said not only we can do it, we're going to do it because we've got we've made a few phone calls.

00:50:24.000 And people are so excited about actually having something pulled together to talk about this.

00:50:28.000 Yeah, I got to say, I want to qualify this a little bit.

00:50:31.000 You know, we talked, I think it was the day before Christmas, my and I said, yeah, we'll do it.

00:50:37.000 I guarantee you we can fill a room three or four hundred people. No problem.

00:50:40.000 Glenn's story is like Steve Banner. If you come and say, yeah, that's it, we can do it. Not a problem.

00:50:44.000 But it's true.

00:50:46.000 But then we got your adult supervision, Jenny, your wife. 0.78

00:50:50.000 Yeah. You know, I walked into our COO and I said, hey, this is about nine o'clock at night.

00:50:55.000 And I said, hey, we're going to do this. And she was like, you know who has to do it? It's me.

00:51:00.000 And so I ended up saying, yeah, I get it. I'm going to help everything I can.

00:51:04.000 You know, I'm really good at it. Anyway, she said she was a little bit upset, went to sleep.

00:51:09.000 And she woke me up in the middle of the night and said, Glenn, I'm at peace with this.

00:51:14.000 I had a dream or I had a vision and I think God spoke to me and she goes, he said to her, I'm going to help you build a coalition of local politicians and groups.

00:51:27.000 And she woke up by the time I got up, made breakfast.

00:51:32.000 She she had this look about her and we talked about it briefly.

00:51:35.000 And it was really interesting because that evening we met without Colonel Allen West, who runs the Dallas County Republican Party.

00:51:42.000 And we met with others. And within a couple of days, we had about ten organizations.

00:51:48.000 Today, we have twenty five different organizations that have come together.

00:51:55.000 And if I may, it reminds me of these old scripture when the walls around Jerusalem came down, they were taken over.

00:52:02.000 And these groups didn't really like each other.

00:52:06.000 They didn't like each other at all.

00:52:08.000 But however, they knew they had to have the wall around their around their city.

00:52:13.000 So they work together. Not that we don't get along together.

00:52:17.000 We have common mission. Right.

00:52:19.000 And our common cause is to defend the 25.

00:52:22.000 And look, I can tell you, as you know, Texas politics, people are fighting all the time.

00:52:25.000 The grassroots this brought everybody together.

00:52:28.000 One of the reasons it did.

00:52:30.000 And the principal reason, I think, is people understand there is a problem down here and they have targeted this Islamic kind of takeover by by not religion. 0.83

00:52:39.000 Right. This is kind of political Islam, radical Islam. 0.86

00:52:42.000 They understand the importance of Texas in the calculation of how what happens in the United States.

00:52:47.000 Remember, Soros targeted us forever. Right.

00:52:50.000 And nothing that we beat it back.

00:52:52.000 In fact, Trump won by what, 14 points.

00:52:55.000 The New York Post this morning, exclusive investigative report about who are financing the ice resistance in Minneapolis, in New York City, in the sanctuaries in Portland.

00:53:07.000 It is George Soros and indivisible and care. Yeah. Right.

00:53:12.000 Right. Care is one of the big issues that we've got tonight.

00:53:14.000 You've designated care as a terrorist organization. The governor has.

00:53:17.000 That's one of their issues. But those 25 groups come together.

00:53:21.000 I know some of these groups and they're great, but they they have different aspects on different things.

00:53:26.000 They came together for the common purpose.

00:53:28.000 Everybody understands how important this is and how you have to rise above your sectarian differences in other politics to come together and pull and get this done.

00:53:37.000 That's right. That's a hundred percent right. You said it better than me. That's why you're in the seat.

00:53:41.000 And I'm not, you know, but at the end of the day, you look at it.

00:53:44.000 We all love our country and we're going to give everything we can to make sure that, you know, my dad was a World War Two vet.

00:53:52.000 Yeah.

00:53:53.000 He fought for the freedoms that we have today, along with the greatest generation.

00:53:56.000 Yes.

00:53:57.000 And it's I'm not going to pick up a bayonet or I'm not going to pick up a gun.

00:54:02.000 We're going to fight this squarely to save our country, because as Brian said it earlier, you lose Texas, you lose the nation.

00:54:10.000 And the left knows that.

00:54:12.000 I have come to appreciate, you know, since running Breitbart and we started Breitbart, Texas and doing working for President Trump, the importance of as a Virginian.

00:54:22.000 Right. Because Virginia, we're raised and think that Virginia is the centerpiece of the revolution, the Civil War, all of it, you know, the mother presidents.

00:54:29.000 But to understand Texas. Right. And how powerful Texas is.

00:54:33.000 I've got this story when I was in the Navy of coming out after OCS got my commission.

00:54:39.000 I was driving across country to go to my ship in San Diego at 32nd Street.

00:54:43.000 And my dad, who worked all the time, so we didn't we, you know, he would spend time with as a kid, but he was actually going to take a week off and drive across the country.

00:54:51.000 So we're so excited. And one of the reasons we're excited.

00:54:55.000 I was a John Ford fan.

00:54:57.000 He's a John Ford fan.

00:54:58.000 And we're going to go see Texas really for the first time.

00:55:00.000 And we're driving across Texas in the summer of, I think it was 76, 77.

00:55:05.000 It's like 100 degrees every day.

00:55:06.000 And we leave Fort Worth and I were driving and we're like, you know, several hours.

00:55:12.000 10 hours later.

00:55:13.000 10 hours later.

00:55:14.000 You're going through El Paso.

00:55:15.000 Well, no, we're not even there.

00:55:16.000 We're just seeing.

00:55:17.000 And I would say as much as people love Texas, that part of West Texas, we leave Fort Worth.

00:55:22.000 This is just a lot of Texas looks same.

00:55:24.000 And I'm expecting Monument Valley.

00:55:26.000 And I go, Dad, when do you think we're going to hit, you know, the John Ford?

00:55:30.000 And we didn't.

00:55:31.000 It was later that we found out that they shot that actually Monument Valley.

00:55:34.000 So there was a whole lot of West Texas.

00:55:36.000 But no, the importance of this state, I can tell you, as Texas goes, so goes the nation.

00:55:41.000 As the nation goes, so goes the world.

00:55:43.000 I want to thank you for putting it on and doing everything.

00:55:46.000 I do want to talk about Patriot Mobile because you guys have that.

00:55:50.000 We're so glad you're a sponsor of Real America's Voice of the War Room.

00:55:53.000 We spent so much time down here.

00:55:55.000 Your studio is amazing.

00:55:56.000 Talk to me about the company because your model is totally different.

00:55:59.000 You're a Christian company that supports the values and not just the values and talking about it. 0.76

00:56:05.000 You guys are actually out there in the field backing like we're doing tonight.

00:56:10.000 You're the one of the principal sponsors over.

00:56:12.000 Just talk to us about the company.

00:56:13.000 And I want to make sure everybody gives them a chance because you have an Oklahoma accent to go to the,

00:56:20.000 whether your marketing team calls it the hillbilly East Texas accent of your customer service.

00:56:26.000 So talk to me about it.

00:56:27.000 Yeah. Well, you know, I am a redneck and I call it redneck.

00:56:30.000 There's this East Texas hillbilly thing.

00:56:32.000 But the reality of it is, look, we are an activist organization funded by a cell phone service.

00:56:40.000 It has, it's just this, and it works everywhere you go.

00:56:43.000 But what really separates us, we don't build a better mousetrap.

00:56:47.000 We support the mousetrap better than anybody because we're a hundred percent U.S. based customer service.

00:56:54.000 Like you said, when you call somebody you pick up, somebody in Texas picks up.

00:56:58.000 A U.S. citizen.

00:56:59.000 A U.S. citizen.

00:57:00.000 They love their God.

00:57:01.000 They love their country.

00:57:02.000 That's what's different.

00:57:03.000 But here's also something else is, and more importantly, we put God first in everything we do.

00:57:09.000 He is at the helm of our business, and we're his stewards.

00:57:13.000 And we try to glorify God in everything that we do, and we want to defend our God-given rights and freedoms that he has given us and enabled us through the Constitution, right?

00:57:25.000 To that good group of Christian men.

00:57:27.000 So 972-PATRIOT is where you call.

00:57:30.000 That's right.

00:57:31.000 And you talk to our customer service rep.

00:57:33.000 You're layered on top of all the big phone services.

00:57:35.000 We've had so many people we're going to have more on in the coming days and weeks ahead that's saying they're in Israel or they're overseas, and the service is the best service they've ever had.

00:57:44.000 Hey, I would love to put Coach Kennedy on because he was in Shiloh, Israel, and he says, he got on his phone, he goes, guys, I want to tell you this.

00:57:53.000 I'm on my Patriot mobile phone, and nobody else has service, so I've turned on my Wi-Fi, and everybody's piggybacking off of Patriot mobile.

00:58:03.000 Wow.

00:58:04.000 You know, you love that, right?

00:58:05.000 Glenn Story and the Patriot mobile team, 972-PATRIOT, let's go light up those phones today, talk to one of these customer service reps.

00:58:12.000 They'll walk you through everything of one of the best companies in this country and the single best company for having our back, whether it's first responders, first or second amendment, all of it.

00:58:21.000 Glenn, thank you so much for tonight and for you guys putting this together.

00:58:24.000 We're going to leave you now with the right stuff.

00:58:26.000 Natalie Winters will be here for the 5 o'clock, Ben Harnwell right after her.

00:58:30.000 We're going to stream tonight the Real America Voice team.

00:58:33.000 We're going to put up everything.

00:58:34.000 In fact, Grant Stinchfield is going to do his show, I believe, live on the stage at the event.

00:58:39.000 Glenn Beck will speak, he closes things out, Gert Wilders, and I will say a few appropriate remarks.

00:58:45.000 We'll see you back here this afternoon.

00:58:47.000 Charlie Kirk, show is next.

00:58:50.000 Poso is out in Minneapolis and he's going to be interviewing the Secretary of Treasury.

00:58:54.000 Don't miss it.

00:58:55.000 Action, action, action all day.

00:58:57.000 In tomorrow morning's show, we're going to have clips from the night and I'm going to interview some Texans about what's going to happen between now and the primary here on March 3rd.

00:59:06.000 Be back tonight when you're watching the sun at the event.

00:59:10.000 Hi.

00:59:12.000 George let's see you inucky's darks.

00:59:17.000 Okay, ready?

00:59:19.000 Go.

00:59:20.000 You can.

00:59:22.000 I'm going to be.

00:59:23.000 No,ningen.

00:59:24.000 Good thing, it's really young.

00:59:25.000 I'm going to be right here.

00:59:27.000 There's nothing.

00:59:28.000 Several days.

00:59:29.000 You've never been able to do that out.

00:59:30.000 There's nothing anywhere you've ever heard.

00:59:31.000 There you go.

00:59:32.000 There's nothing anywhere on the sides of your left and you can see it.

00:59:34.000 The only man who has been at the heart.

00:59:39.000 If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt?

00:59:46.180 Let's see if we can help you with that.

00:59:48.720 If we could give yourself one gift this holiday season,

00:59:52.380 would it be finally to get some relief from your credit card and other debt?

00:59:55.800 I might have a solution.

00:59:58.060 Here's why now is the time to make a move.

01:00:00.880 This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books.

01:00:04.660 They clean up past due accounts.

01:00:06.960 They sell a write-off to debt to clear their books.

01:00:11.100 That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills,

01:00:14.280 lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before you're in.

01:00:19.500 That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.

01:00:25.340 And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage.

01:00:29.020 They monitor lender trends and understand the year-end pressure on creditors.

01:00:33.000 They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf.

01:00:38.060 Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy

01:00:42.660 or taking on new loans.

01:00:45.560 Done With Debt goes to work for you month one with one clear goal,

01:00:50.720 to reduce your total debt and leave you with more money every month.
