00:00:55.840Today, Trump heads to Iowa, a state he won by 13 points in 2024.
00:01:01.140The 50 plus one average shows the Democrats leading in both the Senate and gubernatorial races.
00:01:05.940And despite the polling plunge, Trump is apparently extending his red state campaign blitz, adding a Mississippi stop next week.
00:01:14.060There is new rating changes coming from Larry Sabato's election tracking team, of course, known as the crystal ball.
00:01:20.160Sabato and his team have shifted the governor's races in Alabama, Michigan, Oklahoma and Ohio a notch more towards Democrats.
00:01:28.420This shift could mean, they say, the Democrats are now possibly narrowly favored in Sabato's ratings to possibly win an elusive majority of governorships.
00:01:38.240Today, a federal judge is pulling the plug on most DHS field operations supposedly meant to root out non-citizen voters, arguing they are more about fear than fraud.
00:01:49.100On Wednesday, she accused the agency of using admittedly flawed and incomplete data to choose who to go after,
00:01:57.080raising the risk they would end up targeting legal voters in the process.
00:02:01.260Quote, DHS's stated intent to narrow its impact to people who are not citizens
00:02:05.700does not cure the reasonable fear of citizens being wrongly swept up during the investigations
00:02:11.900in light of the overbroad and inaccurate data sources
00:02:15.460and subjected to intimidation for exercising their voting rights.
00:02:19.940Unless, of course, that was the point all along.
00:02:23.620Because if all of this was really about uncovering supposed bad actors,
00:02:27.700well, the juice is hardly worth a squeeze.
00:02:30.540Consider that after more than a year of searching for the quarter of a million non-citizen voters
00:02:34.620the president and his administration had insisted are out there,
00:02:38.060the government has charged a grand total of 156 people.
00:02:45.460out of more than 227 million registered voters.
00:02:49.900Even so, we have every reason to expect DHS and DOJ to persist,
00:02:54.740because Attorney General Todd Blanche made clear just yesterday
00:02:57.360his marching orders come straight from Donald Trump.
00:03:14.600because this is the run up. John Solomon will take over at six. And this is the run up to the
00:03:19.240to the rally. What do we why is the president going to Iowa?
00:03:26.040Yeah, Iowa obviously is one of those key states that the Democrats have focused on.
00:03:32.060Iowa, Ohio and Florida are Obama, Obama, Trump, Trump, Trump states. And the feeling is long ago,
00:03:39.460maybe a year or so ago, Democrats thought, hey, let's go back to some of those Obama states
00:03:45.440and see what we can do. And they've found some right pickings. There are four congressional
00:03:52.900seats that are kind of in play. The Republicans have sort of pulled money or canceled reserves
00:03:58.040for Miller-Meeks, which is Iowa 1. The president tonight in a few hours is going to be in Sioux
00:04:04.420city. And that is the heart of that western part of the state, which is Ohio four, which used to
00:04:11.720be Steve King's district. And that's where he's going to drive turnout for Iowa. In a lot of
00:04:18.400states, Steve, you have, you know, these battles between MAGA and RINOs, leadership versus
00:04:23.340grassroots. In Iowa, you're seeing Senator Grassley, Senator Joni Ernst. She's they're all
00:04:29.120campaigning. Governor Reynolds, who's termed out, she's campaigning. So this isn't a case where the
00:04:35.900leadership is sort of staying home. They're out there on the hustings with the grassroots and
00:04:40.860the president is responding to that tonight. And then he also has a November 1st rally
00:04:46.620scheduled for Iowa. But that that location hasn't been picked yet, sir.
00:04:53.080OK, so here's why I'm confused. I'm glad. So glad you're starting us off with this.
00:04:57.700I would posit in Iowa, unlike some other, and I realize every state's got it, but unlike, you know, Georgia or Texas, where you have this massive kind of ongoing civil war between the grassroots and the MAGA base and President Trump, an entrenched establishment like Kemp, who's really just kind of a version of the Bush hunter in Georgia or the Bushes themselves.
00:05:19.960and you had neil bush come out yesterday actually advocating for for for talarico in iowa and
00:05:27.100certain other places i think it actually gets more policy and that policy i don't believe is
00:05:32.460the simply the economic policy of tariffs i think it has a lot to do with the war uh when obama came
00:05:38.800on the scene and beat hillary clinton uh in that primary that brutal primary in the democratic
00:05:43.700Party years ago, Obama ran as an anti-war populist, okay? And that resonated. That was from
00:05:50.540the last debacle we got in, the Iraq War. I think the folks in Iowa are very disturbed,
00:05:56.800and one of the reasons you're seeing a lack of enthusiasm, and he's in Sioux City today. That's
00:06:00.200Steve King's, you know, old district. I've been there many times with Steve King, who I think is
00:06:05.120one of the best guys around, and was, of course, tossed out and back turned on by McCarthy and
00:06:10.940everybody because he made some comments about nationalism that the New York Times kind of
00:06:16.060twisted around. But people out there are not into the United States being in all these foreign wars.
00:06:23.640And in fact, it shows up. So why is, I guess it's Pete Hegseth in the Pentagon. Why are we leaking?
00:06:30.720Why is Pete Hegseth going to Netanyahu? And I was adamantly opposed to this Netanyahu endorsement,
00:06:36.400particularly when Netanyahu says right after he's endorsed my policy as he's going to his
00:06:41.940elections next week, he says, my policy is all about regime change in Persia. Why? And Pete
00:06:49.260Hexas shows up in Israel for God knows what reason between the midterms. Why does the Pentagon think
00:06:55.340it's smart to be putting out all this information about a possible next level kinetic activity
00:07:02.320right after the midterms, sir, and we can put up, you can go through the detail of what they're
00:07:07.160putting up, which is quite detailed. Well, yeah, so Secretary Vorhegseth met with Netanyahu
00:07:15.540Monday at the OVDA airspace, which is right on the Israel-Egypt border. And then, of course,
00:07:23.080this morning, the Pentagon was leaking to various media outlets that they are establishing a new
00:07:29.620set of attacks that will happen after the midterms because of the attacks that the IRGC
00:07:36.580Navy, remember that the conventional Navy is at the bottom of the sea, but the IRGC Navy,
00:07:42.400which is sort of like the Praetorian Guard Navy, they're actually still active. And so they
00:07:47.640attacked different, there were four ships that were attacked last night. And then you had three
00:07:52.000that were attacked by a mine. And then there was another, there was a missile fired upon.
00:07:56.100And so in response to that, the Pentagon said, hey, we're getting up a new rack of targets, and as soon as this election's over, we're going to go for it.
00:08:03.900But that's going at cross-purposes with President Donald John Trump, who said he's trying to quiet the war down.
00:08:13.140He said there's going to be no attacks until after the midterms, and he's trying to quiet things down so he can talk about other things.
00:08:20.600I don't think saying there's not going to be any attacks after the midterms.
00:08:24.040I was just saying, hey, we know how much people hate this and we're going to wait after the vote takes place.
00:08:30.120I think that's throwing gasoline on the fire.
00:08:31.840We're either going to go back to kinetic war or we're going to work with the Russians and we're going to have Scott Besson's economic warfare program get in.
00:08:39.940I don't think there's any appetite whatsoever except in Israel, right, and among AIPAC and that crowd to go back to kinetic war.
00:08:52.440It was like two thirds, one thirds. People don't want to go back and don't want to focus on regime change to the degree that they're supporting this war is to President Trump's hang on.
00:09:01.840Hang on. President Trump's position that I'm going to take out the nuclear weapons.
00:09:06.800And I think most people would say, well, you had the 12 day war and you totally obliterate.
00:09:11.200Then we had the second part. If it ain't obliterated now, I don't know what it's going to take.0.54
00:09:16.120And so maybe we just let them worry about it over the next 20 years because they're not going to be launching a ballistic.
00:09:20.820They are not going to be launching a ballistic missile to New York City anytime in the foreseeable future, the way we've taken them back to the Stone Age in this.
00:09:33.000In this era of politics, the military action overseas does not get the immediate burst of flags, guys quitting high school to enlist in the army that we've seen in other eras.
00:09:46.960the the popularity or approval of the war with iran peaked march april where it was uh you know
00:09:54.26038 37 but it was never 50 and so and people would tolerate it i believe because there was a mission
00:10:02.040to be accomplished and we had things to be done but they just didn't want it to drag on forever
00:10:06.900and i think that's sort of that uneasiness with the voters about this war is either either this
00:10:12.760is so important that we have to take care of it now or we just worry about it in another day but
00:10:18.660just be constantly in this posture it gets frustrating for people and i think the people
00:10:24.800in the midwest people in the midwest you know they don't have the same they don't have the
00:10:29.720same interests in these european or middle east wars that say other people in other parts of the
00:10:34.800country they just know that their diesel is up their gas is up i don't think anybody i don't
00:10:39.940think anybody's, you go around the country, I don't think, I say this as an individual, as people
00:10:44.620know, I was on one of the original combatants, a destroyer to get to the North Arabian Sea in the
00:10:49.880Persian Gulf in 1979 and 1980. My kid brother was there in 86, 87. My daughter was there
00:10:55.660or in Iraq in what, 2010, 2011. Hey, the Bannons are a typical average American family that serve0.98
00:11:02.720their country. We hate all of it. We want to come home. Okay. We should come home. We shouldn't be1.00
00:11:07.540back in Qatar. This greater Israel project has been a disaster. I think Netanyahu is a disaster.1.00
00:11:14.280I think you need regime change in Jerusalem. You need a coalition government that somehow
00:11:19.320can work with people and particularly work with the United States. But I don't think Turkey's an0.53
00:11:23.900ally. Qatar's not an ally. I don't think UAE's an ally. The Saudis are not an ally. To me,
00:11:28.980it's pox on all their houses. It's time to come home. Neil McCabe, where do people get you?
00:11:33.400We're going to run up. And I hope President Trump addresses this to the good folks in Iowa.
00:11:38.260If we got this thing sorted out, we wouldn't have to be running around the country and all these races be within a thousand votes.
00:11:44.040President Trump would have been up two thirds, one third. This would have been blowout.
00:11:47.940We've added seats to the House, added seats to the Senate, empowered him more for his program, even more so than than currently.
00:11:56.660So where do people go for your content tonight, particularly as we're going to have this rally here in a couple hours?
00:12:03.400Yeah, thanks, Steve. And of course, I'll be part of Rav's coverage of the rally tonight. But you can find me on all the socials at Reporter McCabe and you can read my columns at the South Shore Press, sir.
00:12:17.340And, you know, we're going to talk about we're going to talk about our election coverage and Neil's going to be a integral part of all the election coverage.
00:12:25.660So we'll give you more on that in the next couple of days as we ramp up for wall to wall coverage of the of election night.

00:16:22.000Pastor Joel Weibin joins us now from Georgetown, Texas.
00:16:28.020Sir, thank you very much for joining us.
00:16:30.640I normally kick this off by asking the pastors why 32 million Christians,
00:16:36.680and I'm saying church-going Christians don't participate in politics.0.84
00:16:43.540But tonight we have the president going out to Iowa for a reason.0.64
00:16:46.720Iowa, which has been central to the Trump movement, the Trump cause,
00:16:49.600President Trump had been winning it by blowout numbers.
00:16:52.460Now these races are tight until we may be losing a couple.
00:16:56.020House races, the Senate race, maybe losing the Senate race.
00:16:58.800President Trump's going to the most conservative part of the state, the western part, with Sioux City, Steve King's old district, to get folks fired up.
00:17:07.140But then you hear about, you know, there may be another bombing right after the midterms.
00:17:11.560What's your perspective on all this, sir?
00:17:14.400Yeah. So first, your first question, you said you normally ask pastors, why is it that 32 million
00:17:19.420Christians sit out of the political duty that we have as American citizens? And the answer to that0.59
00:17:25.240is really simple. It's pietism. Like most words, when you add that ISM, the ism to the last part,0.51
00:17:31.180it becomes something negative, not positive. Piety is a wonderful thing. Piety is personal
00:17:36.140holiness, pursuit of the Lord, loving the Lord. It's your prayer. It's your fasting. It's your
00:17:40.340scripture reading, your good works and service for believers, all these things. We want Christians
00:17:45.320who have piety. Pietism is this holier than thou, so heavenly bound, you're no earthly good. A lot
00:17:52.840of Christians at the end of the day, they'll quote verses like this, Steve, and I know you've heard
00:17:56.360it a thousand times, they'll say, well, Jesus said my kingdom is not of this world. Yeah, key word0.98
00:18:02.020there, of. Jesus does not say my kingdom is not in the world, but it's not of the world. That means
00:18:08.240the source of Jesus' dominion. His power, his authority is not derived as the earthly authorities
00:18:16.500from this world. He has an other worldly source of power. But in terms of the actual location of
00:18:23.400his kingdom, Jesus, the last thing he says before he issues the great commission to his disciples
00:18:28.320and it ascends and disappears behind the clouds, going to the right hand of the Father, he says,
00:18:32.660all authority on earth and in heaven has been given to me. So Jesus is not just reigning in
00:18:39.740the 17th dimension. Jesus is King, King Jesus. He's the lamb that was slain. He's also the lion
00:18:45.860of the tribe of Judah. He is King Jesus seated at the right hand of God, the father almighty.
00:18:50.620And he has authority, not only in heaven, but also on earth. He commissions us, his disciples
00:18:56.600to be ambassadors of Christ, pushing forward the crown rights of King Jesus that has a political
00:19:03.800implication in this world. Even when the devil, when the devil tempts Jesus in the wilderness,
00:19:10.100one of these three temptations is he brings him up to a high hill and he supernaturally shows him
00:19:15.520all the kingdoms of the world, Persia, Babylon, all these different places, these earthly rulers.
00:19:20.340And he says, if you will only bow down and worship me, Jesus, commit idolatry, worship Satan,
00:19:25.560I will give to you authority over all the kingdoms. And Jesus says no. And most Christians misinterpret
00:19:32.240this. They say, see, Jesus is uninterested in political affairs. He's uninterested in worldly
00:19:38.100political power. Now, Jesus is essentially saying, no, I will not gain political earthly power by
00:19:44.780that means, by idolatry, by worshiping Satan. I'm not going to have you, Satan, give me this
00:19:50.780authority over the kingdoms of the earth. I will take authority over the kingdoms of the earth,
00:19:55.240and I'm going to do it by virtue of my death, my resurrection, and my glorious ascension in power
00:20:01.080and authority on earth and in heaven. And as Christ ambassadors, his disciples, he told us
00:20:06.680to baptize the nations, not just discipling individual people out of nations, but to go
00:20:12.860and disciple, make disciples, baptizing the nations as national identities, as political entities,
00:20:20.560baptizing them into the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, a full-orbed Christian
00:20:26.100worldview. This is the mission. Most Christians sit out because they're pietist, not piety,
00:20:32.360but pietist, so heavenly bound, they're no earthly good. That said, back to your last question.0.97
00:20:38.580For guys like me, I'm voting. I'm always voting. I don't vote for everyone, but I'm voting,
00:20:43.780and I will never vote for a Democrat, but there are some Republicans I will withhold my vote from.1.00
00:20:48.420So most Christians sit out because they're apathetic.
00:20:51.040But some Christians like me, some Christians like you, Steve, we're pissed at Trump.
00:20:57.520What do you—by the way, I'm upset at some of the policies.
00:21:02.020We're probably President Trump's biggest supporter, but we are very upset at some of the policies, particularly—
00:21:11.240But what is it about—why are you upset?
00:21:14.560Because the Democrats have done something very smart.
00:21:16.460They understand the power of the Christian message.
00:21:19.140If you look in Kansas, we're in a dead heat with Roger Marshall, and they've got the pastor of one of the largest churches who's a complete left winger in Texas.
00:21:29.300Tallarico is a seminary student, but they have enwrapped themselves in the Christian message,
00:21:35.280understanding if they're to be competitive in some of these deeply religious states, they have to put the patina of Christianity, wrap themselves in it.
00:21:46.080So, one, what are you most upset about, about what President Trump and his administration is doing, and counter that with what these kind of left-wing radicals, I don't think happen to be Christian at all, are running against people that represent his platform?
00:22:05.340Yeah. All right. That latter part, real quick. All five of my children, we have our six on the way, praise God.
00:22:10.860They are homeschooled. We would never put them in a public school, not in the year of our Lord, 2026.
00:22:16.080Um, all of my kids and they're young. We go on a walk through our neighborhood. It's flooded
00:22:20.580with Tallarico signs. And my kids always ask me, dad, they have a Tallarico sign. Does that mean
00:22:25.220they're bad? And I say, well, their positions are bad. They have some bad ideas. We don't know
00:22:29.660their heart. God sees the heart. They could be ignorant. They could be deceived. I don't know
00:22:33.100about these people, but is Tallarico bad? My kids will say, yes, he's bad. He makes dad told us he
00:22:38.160makes the devil blush. Remember the devil used scripture, right? He uses scripture all the time.
00:22:44.140That's what makes him a good liar, right?
00:23:47.880That's what Francis Schaeffer used to talk about.
00:23:49.940In light of the scripture and in light of what it means, how should we live?
00:23:53.640And you've got Tallarico going around saying, well, the way it applies is maybe we should trans kids and we should have our favorite drag queen.
00:25:43.440Most of the time we have evangelicals or pastors on, they're some of the biggest proponents of America's greatest allies.
00:25:50.700And they cite Old Testament that you're a heretic if you don't support this greater Israel project and if you don't support taking out the evil Persians.
00:26:01.960Are you saying that you interpret it differently and you're different than some of these evangelical pastors?
00:26:07.660Because the burning passion of a lot of the issues about the war come from the evangelical and even some of the traditional Catholic sphere, sir.
00:29:57.260Okay, Pastor Joel, I'm committing right now to get you back on here.
00:30:01.180we're going to have a deeper conversation. I met you, in fact, at one of the young
00:30:04.800Republicans of Texas dinners we had during, I think it was CPAC. And you were absolutely amazing.
00:30:12.120But before I let you go, because he's in, the president is going around every day
00:30:17.560on a barn storming, going around the country. And today he's in a deep red
00:30:23.660Sioux City, Iowa. It doesn't get, you know, Steve King's old district. That is the heartland of
00:30:28.860this country. And in the heartland of this country, a lot of those folks fought in the
00:30:34.000Civil War, a lot fought in World War I, World War II, Vietnam. But the folks in the heartland
00:30:39.440of this country do not see why we're continuing to be in these foreign wars. Now, the evangelicals
00:30:46.020will tell you, because if you don't support Israel, as I hear all the time from certain
00:30:50.340evangelical pastors, that it's equivalent to a mortal sin. What say you, sir?
00:30:55.440yeah so my point was america was a massive piece of land it had to be settled by deeply religiously
00:31:03.260convicted europeans christians with deep religious convictions and when they came here i mean it's
00:31:10.860it's these traveling preachers horseback going settlement to settlement town to town a lot of
00:31:17.940these places early on they didn't have church buildings yet they're working on it it's a work
00:31:22.060progress. And so there was a low church mentality, a low church mentality because of the abuses in
00:31:28.580England and other European countries where it became too much pomp and circumstance and not
00:31:34.080enough heart, a true heart that loves Jesus. They kind of lowered the liturgy. They watered down a
00:31:40.840few things. There was a purity of heart and a genuine love for Christ, but this low church0.99
00:31:46.000mentality. And I think that that's kind of the bedrock of the particular type of Protestant
00:31:51.120Christianity we have in America is an evangelical, salt of the earth, wonderful people who love the
00:31:57.720Lord, but not high church, not a lot of theological education. You're saying not high church Anglican
00:32:05.620or Catholic where you're very tied up in ceremony. This is low church. This is Cromwell,
00:32:12.060even get the crosses out of the church. I want it very plain. I just want the word of God coming to
00:32:16.260me, right? That's right. And I think that there's a lot of good in that. I'm not throwing the baby
00:32:20.820out with the bathwater, but there are huge pitfalls to that as well. It left in America,
00:32:26.340a type of Christianity that was theologically inept and was susceptible for certain abuses
00:32:33.120of the word of God and bad translations, bad interpretation, Schofield, Darby, these kinds
00:32:40.460of things snuck in and dispensationalism, dispensational Zionism was able to gain a
00:32:46.960foothold in America deeper than it could in Europe, where there was a higher church protected by the
00:32:52.020clergy, the interpretation of the scripture, these now they have their own problems. They all went
00:32:56.100lib, you know, so you can go to church in England, you know, but you probably have a gay priest0.98
00:33:00.240in America. Your, your evangelical pastor is probably not gay, praise God. Uh, but he probably0.96
00:33:05.880is giving, you know, on a fixed income to Netanyahu or Israel. And so I think that snuck in and there's
00:33:11.720some bad interpretations there where people do not understand. They don't understand Romans 11.
00:33:17.700They don't understand Romans 9. They don't understand Galatians and these kinds of things.
00:33:21.460They think there's a moral, religious, theological obligation to support the modern nation state of
00:33:27.940Israel, and there's not. But Steve, you know this. For pretty much everybody under the age of 45,
00:33:33.840even within evangelical land, the sentiment on Israel is changing. I wrote a book on the subject.
00:33:40.340I titled it Hyphenated Heresy, Judeo-Christianity, and went through the scripture and talked about how this is a misapplication, misinterpretation of the word of God.
00:33:50.660And I think that, you know, the older generation, they largely still believe it within the evangelical sphere.
00:33:56.020But younger people, I'm not just talking about 18 year olds, I'm talking about people all the way up to 50 years old.
00:34:01.260They are not just upset or angry at Israel, but they're literally going back to the Word of God, coming up with historic interpretations that aren't novel, they're not modern.
00:34:12.620Before 18, people under the age of 45, even within evangelical sphere of Christianity here in these United States, they've been largely Zionist, largely supportive of Israel in recent decades.
00:40:38.500They and their attorneys and their PR firm, which is one of the biggest PR firms in Dallas, would have all of us believe that.
00:40:47.780And to be fair, many middle-of-the-road, everyday average Americans believe that.
00:40:54.560But when you listen to the sermons of their imam, when you listen to his statements and those of the guests that he has come and speak at that mosque, it paints a completely different picture.0.59
00:41:09.940There is absolutely no doubt that the resident scholar at the East Plano Islamic Center and many of his adherents and his guests overtly admire members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:41:26.900They are themselves openly and they've openly admitted their membership in organizations such as the International Union of Muslim Scholars, which was founded by a veteran member of the Muslim Brotherhood and whose board of directors is primarily members and leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:41:45.340So, again, on the surface, it's exactly what you said, Steve.
00:41:50.860And I think that what bothers me and many other Americans is that there are many local government leaders who also say that they believe that and they go out of their way to demonstrate how so tolerant they are by going down there to this place and to others like it to have their pictures taken with the leaders there to show how tolerant and open minded they are and to get their photos taken and to virtue signal.
00:42:19.020And then they turn around and they vote for sending money to them in the form of grants.
00:42:26.740And I'm talking about local governments, counties and cities, municipalities in the state of Texas, not just the state of Texas itself, have sent an enormous amount of money to Islamist organizations under the guise of just some kind of social justice or attempting to help the community.
00:42:46.720But when you go and look at who these people are, who their friends are, what they believe in, and what they say, what they profess with their mouth and with their social media, their worldview becomes abundantly clear.
00:43:01.580And again, this is not my opinion, and this is really important.
00:43:05.140I want everyone watching me to understand I am not an activist on this issue.
00:43:09.360I have a completely different job and business that I do.
00:43:11.960I don't hyper-focus on this, and I don't sit around thinking about this all day long.
00:43:16.720But I've watched as it has continued to expand and grow.
00:43:22.140And, you know, Steve, the one thing I can't understand, and I'm having a hard time with this, and maybe this will help your viewers understand.
00:43:27.900Imagine if it was a religious organization that was founded by the Ku Klux Klan or the American Nazi Party.
00:43:34.980I think everyone would agree that something would be out of the ordinary with that, and it would be inappropriate, if not improper, to give money to them.
00:43:42.820Doug, hang on one second. We'll hold you through the break.
00:46:27.240Feedback we have from the posse is terrific.
00:46:29.820Deaton, we're going to have you back on to go in more detail on this.
00:46:32.040However, I just got a question that the audience once answered, given the fact they got every big PR firm, they got every big law firm, they got financial banks, they got local politicians taking, you know, grinning grip photographs with them.
00:46:45.300Right. All of it. Are you recommending, based upon the facts that you have seen as a law enforcement officer, that these type of Islamic centers should be stopped dead in their tracks and shut down, not simply in Plano, Texas, but throughout the great state of Texas, sir?
00:47:03.180What I am recommending is that any entity or so-called religious organization, which is an affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood and which has aligned itself with groups and people who openly say they are enemies of the United States, should not be given another dollar, not one more dime of public taxpayer money.0.99
00:47:25.320And moreover, I also believe they should not be allowed to purchase land next to critical infrastructure and key resources.0.81
00:47:34.180And that is something that is absolutely happening throughout the state of Texas.
00:47:38.600It deserves to be looked at, investigated and scrutinized further.
00:47:44.420Why is the business establishment embracing this?
00:47:50.340And we spent, I think at the end of the day, we will spend over half a year down here in Texas since January.
00:47:57.740What stuns me is why is the business community and the established order in the state, why are they embracing this, sir?
00:48:05.300You know, I can speculate about that, but I think that it's a combination of two things.
00:48:09.520One, many people are simply afraid to be accused of being a bigot.
00:48:14.300No one wants to be accused of being some kind of radical Islamophobe.
00:48:17.960And so they will turn a blind eye to the facts that are right in front of their faces, because these people, they pretend to be nice and they pretend to be your friends and they say that they are your friends.
00:48:29.620And then, of course, the other one is profit motive and votes.
00:48:32.740These people absolutely do vote and they are highly political.0.70
00:48:36.780So if, you know, there's no perfect political candidate, but if you don't vote for the right candidate, trust me, these individuals, these Islamists, they are, they and their families, they are voting for the Democrats.
