Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 929： Islamic Law Promoted In The US; Closing Loopholes In Texas

00:00:00.000 Islamic Jihadis are plotting against you. 0.96

00:00:11.240 Why in the hell do you think they're in Houston and in north of Dallas? 0.98

00:00:14.280 They are working together to overthrow western civilization.

00:00:18.580 Sharia compounds, which are areas governed by religious rules.

00:00:22.460 We know who you are, we know what you are, and we know what you're trying to accomplish,

00:00:27.440 and it is not going to happen in the jewel of the crown of the union of this republic.

00:00:33.220 We purge any attempt to impose Sharia law in Texas.

00:00:36.580 They are not coming. They are already here.

00:00:39.360 You are not here properly, and you're going to leave.

00:00:44.580 On the 3rd of March, Sharia law goes on the ballot in the state of Texas.

00:00:50.500 The United States Constitution and Sharia are fundamentally at odds with one another. 0.99

00:00:54.660 We're going to tell them, take your Sharia law and shove it. 1.00

00:01:00.140 Islam will never dominate the United States, and by the grace of God, it will not dominate Texas. 1.00

00:01:07.040 As Texas goes, so goes the nation. As the nation goes, so goes the world.

00:01:12.860 Are you prepared to fight for this state? Are you prepared to fight for your country?

00:01:17.800 War Room, Texas. Your host, Stephen K. Bannon. Starts right now.

00:01:28.000 It's Monday, 19 January, in the year of our Lord, 2026.

00:01:32.500 Welcome to War Room, Texas.

00:01:34.220 We're going to go from Budapest to the heart of Texas.

00:01:37.740 Joanne Fleming joins us. She's the head of Grassroots America, We the People,

00:01:42.080 a grassroots organization very focused on this 3 March primary, where on the ballot is Proposition 10

00:01:50.620 to ban Sharia law from the state of Texas as an opening salvo on stopping the Islamic invasion of Texas. 0.99

00:01:59.260 Also, Raymond Ibrahim, one of the world's leading experts on all things radical Islam

00:02:05.080 and the Islamic invasion and takeover of Europe, joins us from Budapest. 0.93

00:02:10.980 Raymond, thank you so much for joining us.

00:02:14.280 You're also, besides being a best-selling author and one of the most beloved guests on the War Room

00:02:20.980 over the years, as you've put out three books since you've been joining us about Islamic invasions,

00:02:27.900 you're also a fellow, is it, at the Danube Institute in Budapest, sir?

00:02:32.580 Yes, I am, Steve. For this year, I'm a visiting fellow at the Danube Institute,

00:02:38.600 a great place and a lot of resources to work with.

00:02:43.860 So, you know, why is Hungary have an institute that has Raymond Ibrahim as a senior fellow for a year,

00:02:53.120 and why is it appropriate to have you on at least once a week in War Room, Texas,

00:02:58.580 about Sharia law and the invasion?

00:03:03.020 And particularly, the governor in our state led, got in front of the president

00:03:07.420 and in front of Governor DeSantis in Florida,

00:03:10.280 and he designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.

00:03:13.800 In fact, he designated them an international terrorist organization

00:03:16.320 that's going to be investigated and driven out of Texas along with CARE. 0.58

00:03:20.520 Your thoughts about all that, sir, particularly about these Islamic invasions?

00:03:27.300 It's just Islam is growing, and they can't keep the cat in the bag anymore. 1.00

00:03:32.180 When the Muslim population and the Muslim presence in the West was small,

00:03:37.040 and it was still doing what it was doing,

00:03:39.160 of course, they played cover for it,

00:03:41.200 and Islamophobia and multiculturalism and diversity, etc., etc.

00:03:45.980 But inasmuch as Islam grows, and obviously here in Europe, it's where it's reached critical mass, 1.00

00:03:53.300 it becomes too hard for them to cover up.

00:03:55.420 So it's become really an issue, and people are starting to see it everywhere from the U.K.,

00:04:00.320 all throughout the Scandinavias and Germany and France,

00:04:03.360 and wherever you're getting these large Muslim populations,

00:04:06.080 you're seeing what comes along with them, which is, we can say, Sharia. 0.94

00:04:10.520 And by the way, that word gets thrown around a lot,

00:04:14.860 and I think it's important for people to understand its etymology and its meaning.

00:04:18.820 And in its origin, as with so many Islamic words, Arabic words,

00:04:23.940 they really go back to sort of 7th century Bedouin tribalism from the time of Muhammad,

00:04:28.080 and all the trilateral roots of the word Sharia,

00:04:31.900 Shara, means watering spot for your camel.

00:04:35.740 Okay, so you're in the desert, where's life?

00:04:38.060 So Sharia is the road to life, okay? 1.00

00:04:40.860 It's where you get water in these extremely desiccated and parched regions.

00:04:44.880 So it's understood as life.

00:04:46.060 So what does that mean?

00:04:46.860 It means Allah's way to have you live your life and to live the proper life, 0.99

00:04:51.640 which is just all these rules and laws as found in the Quran and in the Sunnah,

00:04:57.960 enshrined in the Sunnah based on the Hadith, the words and sayings of Muhammad.

00:05:02.200 And in short, this is why I find it interesting,

00:05:04.480 because I hear some people acting like Islam is its own thing and Muslims,

00:05:09.060 and then Sharia is another thing, as if to be a Muslim is not to practice Sharia.

00:05:13.140 But, well, saying a Muslim does not necessarily have to practice Sharia 0.99

00:05:17.180 is like saying a Muslim doesn't have to believe in the Quran or follow the Quran.

00:05:21.140 So they are intertwined.

00:05:22.980 They're really one and the same in many ways.

00:05:25.000 Islam is Sharia and vice versa. 1.00

00:05:27.100 You can say that.

00:05:27.780 So, of course, every Muslim, when they come, this is why I also find it interesting in some of the laws that I'm seeing proposed.

00:05:33.880 They're against Sharia, which is good, all well and good. 1.00

00:05:37.400 But in a sense, if they understood the deeper context, the way I'm trying to explain it,

00:05:41.400 well, you're really saying you're against Islam.

00:05:43.540 And so it's kind of interesting because Muslims are allowed to migrate to Western nations in the United States,

00:05:48.960 but they have to leave Sharia at home, which is fine. 0.63

00:05:52.660 I mean, if you can do that, but the fact is, if you're a Muslim in and of yourself,

00:05:56.680 that means you've submitted to the law of Allah, the law of life, which is Sharia.

00:06:02.140 So anyway, I think Islam is becoming a huge issue and it's spilling over, 1.00

00:06:06.560 especially with what's happening in Texas, that epic city, which is now I think called the Meadows.

00:06:13.220 And we should at some point, I'll take a break right here and let you talk,

00:06:16.000 but we should talk about the concept of al-Rabat because this is exactly what these are.

00:06:21.180 These enclaves are historical rabats, which were essentially jihadist fortifications

00:06:26.600 intentionally placed right on the frontier of infidel territory.

00:06:33.560 I want to get to that in a moment.

00:06:35.620 Let me go back to the argument before I bring you in and also the argument that,

00:06:39.280 hey, you've got freedom of religion in the United States.

00:06:43.280 They don't make this argument in Europe anymore.

00:06:45.300 It's interesting.

00:06:45.580 They used to make it a lot.

00:06:46.640 You couldn't do anything with the Muslims because you're imposing on their religion. 1.00

00:06:52.060 But now that they've got critical mass or they're beginning to get critical mass in France

00:06:55.760 and in the Netherlands and in the United Kingdom, you don't hear that argument anymore.

00:07:01.080 I mean, they're beyond that.

00:07:02.040 They're brazen in what they propose, the imposition of Sharia law and how they're going to just, 0.93

00:07:08.360 they have no-go zones.

00:07:09.800 They're just going to run it.

00:07:10.620 The police, the town council, all of it.

00:07:12.920 But what about this argument that you've seen thrown up?

00:07:16.440 Well, it's just a religion, and if you're going to let Christianity, 0.99

00:07:19.340 you're going to help Christianity flourish.

00:07:22.240 You can't suppress Islam.

00:07:25.220 Your thoughts of that?

00:07:28.100 Well, Christianity can flourish without us necessarily doing anything active. 0.90

00:07:34.340 Just let Christians preach, let them live their lives. 1.00

00:07:37.580 But Islam is codified with rules, the active rules that you have to do. 0.99

00:07:42.080 Okay, so we know, so for example, things like prayer and fasting, you know, the five pillars of Islam,

00:07:47.660 those are Sharia. 0.98

00:07:49.080 But there's other things as well, which is, for example, killing the apostate. 0.97

00:07:54.500 Okay, so Christians don't do that. 0.94

00:07:56.260 That's why you can, Christianity can flourish side by side with what is perceived as secular governance,

00:08:02.760 whereas true Sharia, true Islam cannot. 0.96

00:08:06.300 Same thing with blasphemy laws. 0.55

00:08:08.220 And this, I think, is something that Islam and the so-called left actually have in common with each other,

00:08:14.440 because they both do believe in, you know, squashing free speech about anything they don't like,

00:08:19.440 and that's exactly what Islam's blasphemy laws are.

00:08:22.500 So maybe the left is fine with that, to that sense.

00:08:25.320 But as you can see, in a strictly true free country, a free democracy with freedom of speech,

00:08:31.340 you can't have something like blasphemy codes, even though it is completely enshrined in Islam.

00:08:36.760 And then you also have, okay, Christianity is a monogamous by nature, and that's sort of what we have right now.

00:08:43.060 Well, if you allow Islam, now you have polygamy, up to four wives, and also concubines, infidels who are enslaved, 1.00

00:08:51.140 and your right hand possesses, according to the Koran.

00:08:53.200 So I think that's the problem.

00:08:54.880 Christianity can flourish, and it still walks side by side with the law, whereas Islam, because it is its own law, 1.00

00:09:03.340 okay, secular Western law developed side by side with Christianity,

00:09:06.260 so the two are very much synchronized in a sense, or at least they were in their founding and origin.

00:09:12.000 But Islam is a very alien, hostile, different creed. 1.00

00:09:15.460 And as I just mentioned to you, just a few of the things that are completely honor killings, for example,

00:09:20.740 they're not in Sharia law, but of course they're part of the culture as well.

00:09:24.760 So you get a lot of this baggage that, I don't think it's completely comparing apples and oranges

00:09:29.720 when people say Christianity and Islam, it's the same thing.

00:09:34.060 When Muslims become citizens and swear allegiance to the United States and to the Constitution, 0.61

00:09:41.820 can they actually do that?

00:09:42.880 I know there's a concept in Islam that you can lie to the infidel, 1.00

00:09:47.220 and there's not a problem as long as you're promoting Islam.

00:09:50.740 But can a Muslim actually take to become a citizen of the United States, 1.00

00:09:54.500 can they actually swear allegiance to the Constitution and to our republic

00:09:59.200 and actually be a Muslim in good standing?

00:10:03.520 Yes, they can do it, but just like you said, they can do it as a part of taqaga,

00:10:07.740 which means, okay, the original teaching, the original law,

00:10:11.660 is you have to actually have always hatred for non-Muslims.

00:10:15.000 This is in the Quran, 64, chapter surah 60 and ayah 4,

00:10:19.640 where it talks about Ibrahim, Abraham, and how he's a good example to every Muslim,

00:10:24.340 because he said to his people,

00:10:26.100 we hate and renounce you and enmity will last forever until you believe in Allah. 0.96

00:10:30.200 Okay, so that's the standing principle. 1.00

00:10:32.000 If you're a non-Muslim, you are to be disliked and hated. 1.00

00:10:35.200 Okay, and just to really underscore this, our good friends and allies, 0.98

00:10:39.280 Saudi Arabia and Qatar, many years ago, I found on their websites,

00:10:42.840 their official governmental websites, because in those nations, of course,

00:10:45.900 Sharia and the government are one and the same. 1.00

00:10:48.220 They're sponsored by the government.

00:10:49.600 They actually had fatwas talking about how you have to hate Americans, 0.98

00:10:54.400 and everyone, but they also spoke about Americans because they're infidels. 0.82

00:10:58.540 And this is the doctrine, it's known as loyalty and enmity, or al-wala'u al-bara'u in Arabic.

00:11:04.160 But again, to give you an idea, but at the same time,

00:11:06.400 Saudi Arabia comes and dances with U.S. presidents and European leaders

00:11:10.860 and dances with their swords and kiss each other.

00:11:13.360 So how do they reconcile that as well?

00:11:15.380 And also, you cannot pledge allegiance to an infidel, willingly, 0.94

00:11:19.740 unless you do it as a lie.

00:11:21.280 And this, again, is taqayya.

00:11:22.460 So if you do it to preserve your life or as a stratagem,

00:11:25.780 then that is legitimate.

00:11:27.200 Muhammad himself did this.

00:11:28.780 So, strictly speaking, when a Muslim comes and pledges allegiance to America, 0.98

00:11:33.880 okay, that is completely un-Islamic, 1.00

00:11:35.600 but it is Islamic for him to do it as a ruse,

00:11:38.520 or if he feigns loyalty and he does it in the context of taqayya,

00:11:45.900 that is 100% legitimate.

00:11:47.620 So, on the one hand, Muslims are commanded not to befriend

00:11:50.720 and not to associate and certainly not to be loyal to non-Muslims.

00:11:56.400 But on the other hand, there is this little caveat where,

00:11:58.940 and it's played out all throughout history,

00:12:00.760 this is one of the major reasons behind the Inquisition, for example,

00:12:03.920 in Spain, because Muslims had converted nominally,

00:12:06.880 but they were still working with jihadist groups like the Ottomans

00:12:10.040 and the Barbary pirates to subvert Spain.

00:12:12.200 So this has happened multiple times.

00:12:14.480 And, yeah, I mean, of course, a Muslim can tell me,

00:12:17.140 hey, I pledged allegiance to America and I believe it,

00:12:19.660 but it's good for him,

00:12:21.600 but that does not accord with strict Islamic teaching,

00:12:24.480 which does say you cannot, I can pull up the Quran verse,

00:12:27.240 I think it's 328, which says you cannot be loyal,

00:12:31.400 and it names, you know, the non-Muslims. 0.95

00:12:33.440 And another one, it says you have to hate the Christians and the Jews, 0.98

00:12:36.780 and you cannot be loyal to them. 0.82

00:12:38.100 And then it says, unless it's by way of precaution,

00:12:40.720 which is the concept of taqayya,

00:12:42.600 which is you're basically lying because it's in your own benefit.

00:12:46.280 They've come in, they come into these societies on cat's paws, right?

00:12:51.680 They come in at first, but then they reach a critical mass.

00:12:53.800 You just can't hide it.

00:12:54.620 That's what's happening in Texas.

00:12:56.440 That's why people are trying to get ahead of this.

00:12:58.200 The governor has designated the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE

00:13:01.020 as international terrorist organization.

00:13:03.440 He said there's been massive investigations going on,

00:13:05.880 even as we speak, by the authorities in Texas

00:13:08.620 to get to the bottom of all this,

00:13:10.480 particularly what they've been doing in Texas.

00:13:12.020 But they have been building, there's two mosques per month,

00:13:15.660 I think, in North Texas, 301 mosques overall.

00:13:19.200 The majority of those, I believe, in the greater Houston area

00:13:23.380 and in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex,

00:13:26.360 and particularly north of Dallas.

00:13:28.420 But you talked about, this is a concept they've used before.

00:13:31.260 Talk to me about, like, Epic City, or now called the Meadows.

00:13:34.620 They look at these as garrisons on the frontier of the infidels 1.00

00:13:39.800 to ultimately look at taking over their societies

00:13:42.280 and converting people to Islam?

00:13:45.500 Yeah.

00:13:46.120 So historically what happened is wherever Muslim jihadists 0.96

00:13:48.880 would conquer non-Muslim territories, 1.00

00:13:51.480 which were a great amount, as we know, of course,

00:13:53.680 all of the Christian North Africa and the Middle East

00:13:56.740 were conquered in the 7th century.

00:13:58.740 Wherever they were stopped by non-Muslims,

00:14:01.280 there they would form garrisons and fortifications.

00:14:03.580 It means, in Arabic, it's known as rabat,

00:14:06.200 and it comes from a word which means, like,

00:14:07.640 a tight fastening or a rope.

00:14:09.440 And it's also in the Quran, it says,

00:14:11.420 form a rabat to become successful. 0.65

00:14:13.800 And basically it would just be a front,

00:14:15.340 they would become, they would be jihadists par excellence,

00:14:18.400 and they would be right on the frontier zones.

00:14:20.220 And there were multiple frontier zones historically

00:14:22.200 in Asia Minor, in Anatolia, in the north and south,

00:14:25.960 in the middle of Spain, because north Spain

00:14:27.780 was primarily Christian at that point, and in the south.

00:14:30.340 And this would be an area of constant warfare,

00:14:33.580 okay?

00:14:34.060 So what's happening now, the parallel,

00:14:36.920 is now Muslims are not forming these fortifications 0.61

00:14:40.600 wherever infidels stop them. 1.00

00:14:42.680 Infidels are welcoming them in, 1.00

00:14:44.520 right in the middle of their societies,

00:14:46.360 and they're building organically,

00:14:48.620 this is why I say it's not even that they're consciously

00:14:50.860 trying to build a rabat, 0.80

00:14:52.740 it's just when I see it,

00:14:53.580 it's an organic manifestation of the rabat concept,

00:14:57.360 because it's primarily Muslim,

00:14:59.320 it's an enclave,

00:15:00.640 it's a hotbed of radicalization,

00:15:02.620 you see this in Europe,

00:15:03.860 you're going to see it in Texas,

00:15:05.800 especially if these things come to pass,

00:15:08.160 and the growth that you see.

00:15:09.760 And it's also,

00:15:10.600 it's where,

00:15:12.100 you know,

00:15:12.680 in and of itself,

00:15:13.520 when you think about it,

00:15:14.160 when any people does this,

00:15:15.840 Muslims or otherwise,

00:15:16.720 when they come to a country like the United States,

00:15:19.080 and the first thing they want to do

00:15:20.480 is just set up shop away from everyone else,

00:15:22.840 so it's just their own thing.

00:15:25.040 That itself to me,

00:15:26.460 I mean,

00:15:26.880 everyone has to understand

00:15:27.840 and understand what this is.

00:15:29.020 It's just,

00:15:29.680 these are opportunistic people,

00:15:31.360 at the least,

00:15:32.420 who are saying,

00:15:33.220 we want all the good stuff your country has to offer,

00:15:35.220 but we want nothing to do with you.

00:15:36.960 Which again,

00:15:37.560 goes back to the Islamic principle 0.90

00:15:38.800 that I was telling you,

00:15:39.760 loyalty and enmity, 0.88

00:15:40.920 hatred for the non-Muslim, 0.99

00:15:42.340 staying away from them, 0.99

00:15:43.220 being clean of them,

00:15:44.360 okay?

00:15:44.880 So in and of itself,

00:15:46.200 even if one didn't want to

00:15:47.860 appreciate what I'm talking about,

00:15:50.380 the deeper doctrinal historical dimensions to this,

00:15:54.340 just the fact that people come

00:15:55.660 and they say,

00:15:56.280 we want to be separate

00:15:57.260 with our own religion,

00:15:59.800 in and of itself,

00:16:00.520 should raise question marks.

00:16:02.620 And this is all really,

00:16:03.920 by the way,

00:16:04.260 interconnected with things

00:16:05.240 like the Somalis in Minnesota. 0.98

00:16:07.800 You know,

00:16:08.100 these groups come here

00:16:09.640 simply so they can exploit and take,

00:16:12.320 but they want nothing to do

00:16:13.320 with the whole society.

00:16:14.360 They certainly don't want to assimilate, 1.00

00:16:16.140 okay?

00:16:16.620 And so even in that act,

00:16:18.520 in that very aspect itself,

00:16:20.140 I think things are very obvious

00:16:21.660 of what's happening.

00:16:23.220 But it's good that Texas

00:16:24.480 and you are spearheading this movement

00:16:26.700 because this is very important

00:16:28.220 to nip it in the bud.

00:16:30.440 And, you know,

00:16:30.780 one of the problems right now

00:16:31.900 that Europe is going to face,

00:16:33.720 is facing no matter what it does,

00:16:35.700 is they can stop all immigration tomorrow.

00:16:37.980 They can say no more,

00:16:39.040 not a single one,

00:16:39.760 but they're stuck

00:16:40.320 because they now have

00:16:41.680 many millions of Muslims

00:16:42.880 living,

00:16:43.420 all of them,

00:16:44.460 concentrated in robots

00:16:46.220 or in enclaves.

00:16:47.620 And these are now problems

00:16:48.740 that they have to live with,

00:16:50.360 even though a place like Hungary,

00:16:51.860 where I'm at currently,

00:16:53.700 you know,

00:16:54.020 nipped it in the bud.

00:16:54.740 They said,

00:16:55.220 no,

00:16:55.360 we don't want it

00:16:55.900 and they don't have it.

00:16:56.880 And I can walk out in the street

00:16:58.500 and I see people walking

00:16:59.440 without fear

00:17:00.560 the way they are,

00:17:01.740 for example,

00:17:02.260 in Europe.

00:17:03.020 So hopefully America

00:17:04.660 also learns from this model

00:17:06.580 and nips it in the bud.

00:17:10.340 That's what this show is about.

00:17:11.600 Peter McElvenna,

00:17:12.620 who's one of the top experts

00:17:14.080 in the United Kingdom

00:17:14.980 and a guy that refers to you

00:17:16.140 all the time,

00:17:17.160 actually came to Texas

00:17:18.300 for a couple of weeks,

00:17:20.020 I think before the holidays

00:17:21.160 and then came back.

00:17:21.980 He was at our conference.

00:17:24.280 He's got a warning to Texans.

00:17:26.460 He says,

00:17:27.080 hey, look,

00:17:27.440 let me tell you something.

00:17:28.200 In the same time of development,

00:17:31.600 the Islamic invasion of Texas 1.00

00:17:35.380 is much farther advanced

00:17:37.260 than when it started in England.

00:17:39.960 He says they've learned a lot

00:17:41.100 like halal food.

00:17:42.280 They've created these businesses.

00:17:43.940 They're working together

00:17:45.020 to not just create the business,

00:17:46.800 to hire people.

00:17:47.880 They've got school choice in Texas,

00:17:49.660 which is paying for these Muslim schools.

00:17:51.860 He says people in Texas

00:17:52.940 got to understand

00:17:53.600 this is farther advanced

00:17:55.160 than it was

00:17:55.700 when it started in England

00:17:56.900 and much more sophisticated.

00:17:59.080 Your thoughts, sir?

00:18:01.100 Absolutely.

00:18:01.840 And let's never lose sight

00:18:03.100 of the fact

00:18:03.640 that all these organizations

00:18:04.960 are connected

00:18:05.860 one way or another,

00:18:07.220 like CARE

00:18:07.940 and the others

00:18:09.200 are all connected

00:18:09.760 to the Muslim Brotherhood,

00:18:10.820 which has rightly been denounced

00:18:13.780 as a terrorist organization,

00:18:15.440 at least in Texas,

00:18:16.740 because they have written documents

00:18:19.140 that were captured by the FBI,

00:18:20.740 which we still have,

00:18:21.800 which spell out exactly

00:18:23.140 what we're talking about

00:18:24.160 and how that is their master plan

00:18:26.060 and their blueprint.

00:18:26.900 They literally say

00:18:28.060 we are in the West,

00:18:30.140 in the United States,

00:18:31.120 in this case, 0.97

00:18:32.100 to sabotage their miserable house, 0.97

00:18:34.240 I'm literally quoting it, 0.98

00:18:35.620 through a civilizational jihad,

00:18:37.880 which means not through violence,

00:18:39.760 not through the classical jihad,

00:18:41.280 because that's not even necessary,

00:18:42.720 nor is it possible. 0.75

00:18:44.000 Muslims are not going to conquer America 0.96

00:18:45.380 by violence.

00:18:46.440 But we have all these

00:18:47.900 civilizational routes

00:18:49.460 open to us,

00:18:50.760 including through Dawah,

00:18:52.080 including through creeping Sharia,

00:18:54.080 which is what's happening,

00:18:55.300 including through creating

00:18:56.640 these enclaves

00:18:57.720 and proselytization

00:18:59.140 and all sorts of things.

00:19:01.020 So it's important to know

00:19:01.880 that these groups,

00:19:02.760 we already know

00:19:03.340 what they're doing.

00:19:04.040 We have their documentation.

00:19:05.360 We have their blueprint

00:19:06.120 because they are all born

00:19:07.880 of the Muslim Brotherhood.

00:19:09.240 And the Muslim Brotherhood 0.84

00:19:10.240 has said this.

00:19:11.500 And when you look at their actions,

00:19:12.660 that is what they are doing.

00:19:14.020 So there's no mystery involved.

00:19:16.040 And it's high time for people

00:19:17.460 to actually be cognizant

00:19:19.140 now than later,

00:19:20.280 or you're going to end up

00:19:21.380 like Europe.

00:19:21.940 And that's not a good place to be.

00:19:25.380 Raymond, hang on for one second.

00:19:26.820 I want to bring Joanne Fleming

00:19:28.420 in from Grassroots America.

00:19:31.180 Joanne, you're one

00:19:32.280 of the grassroots leaders

00:19:33.160 in the state of Texas.

00:19:34.340 Are folks in Texas

00:19:35.280 starting to awaken

00:19:36.640 both the political elite,

00:19:38.020 the business community,

00:19:38.740 but also average working

00:19:40.800 men and women in Texas?

00:19:42.080 Are they awakening

00:19:43.000 to what actually is going on

00:19:45.020 in Texas

00:19:45.460 about this Islamic invasion?

00:19:47.940 Oh, yes, they are.

00:19:48.780 I don't know

00:19:49.360 about the business community.

00:19:50.980 You know, they sort of,

00:19:52.040 some of them live

00:19:52.760 in a different universe

00:19:53.960 than the rest of us.

00:19:55.680 But yes, absolutely.

00:19:57.980 Because as I'm interviewing candidates

00:20:00.380 for the March

00:20:01.460 Republican primary ballot,

00:20:03.940 they tell me that

00:20:04.980 as they're going door to door

00:20:06.340 block walking,

00:20:07.420 that this has become

00:20:08.400 the number one issue

00:20:09.640 over many parts of Texas.

00:20:11.460 So I believe that

00:20:12.720 the average Joanne Jane Texan

00:20:14.740 get it.

00:20:15.480 They understand

00:20:16.140 that we're under attack.

00:20:17.460 They're very informed.

00:20:19.940 And so, you know,

00:20:21.920 I'm seeing people

00:20:23.220 really wake up, Steve.

00:20:25.020 And I, we intend

00:20:26.900 to take advantage of that.

00:20:28.780 And I have to say,

00:20:30.540 the number one thing

00:20:31.560 we must do

00:20:32.680 is to call on

00:20:35.220 Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick

00:20:36.960 and Speaker Burroughs

00:20:38.900 to codify

00:20:39.960 what Governor Abbott

00:20:42.740 has done,

00:20:43.440 calling Muslim Brotherhood 0.87

00:20:45.260 and CARE

00:20:47.020 as international

00:20:48.980 terrorist organizations.

00:20:50.220 But they have to go

00:20:51.080 further than that

00:20:51.780 because we know

00:20:52.880 that they will simply

00:20:54.240 morph into something else.

00:20:56.180 They will have

00:20:56.720 a different name.

00:20:57.620 So we,

00:20:58.820 we need

00:20:59.660 them to start

00:21:00.900 holding the interim hearings

00:21:02.560 and move us along

00:21:04.620 toward a solution

00:21:05.560 to this problem

00:21:06.500 because right now

00:21:07.620 we don't see

00:21:08.380 any interest in it

00:21:10.220 above Governor Abbott.

00:21:12.260 We don't,

00:21:12.680 I haven't seen

00:21:13.860 Lieutenant Governor Patrick

00:21:15.540 talk about it

00:21:16.440 nor Burroughs.

00:21:17.800 And we need to move along

00:21:19.200 to codify this

00:21:20.380 legislatively.

00:21:21.700 The other thing

00:21:22.340 we've got to do

00:21:22.980 is stop the money.

00:21:24.320 I mean,

00:21:24.580 $13 million

00:21:25.300 has already gone

00:21:26.860 to,

00:21:27.680 to mosque

00:21:28.700 and to these

00:21:29.300 community organizations

00:21:30.820 for Islamists.

00:21:32.220 And we need

00:21:33.160 to stop that money.

00:21:34.380 Anything that hasn't

00:21:35.260 already been sent out

00:21:36.380 needs to be stopped

00:21:37.300 immediately.

00:21:37.820 And we've got to

00:21:38.920 close the loopholes.

00:21:40.380 There's a statutory

00:21:41.220 exemption that allows

00:21:42.700 Epic City

00:21:43.400 to continue.

00:21:45.720 And we need to,

00:21:46.580 we need to go back

00:21:47.620 and close that loophole.

00:21:50.980 I just want to go back

00:21:52.120 before we go to break.

00:21:53.640 You're saying,

00:21:54.520 you're interviewing

00:21:55.220 candidates now

00:21:56.180 for support

00:21:57.320 on the,

00:21:57.760 on the March primary ballot.

00:21:59.220 And you're telling

00:22:00.600 the audience

00:22:01.320 in the whole state of Texas,

00:22:02.540 this obviously goes

00:22:03.360 internationally.

00:22:03.820 It's got a big

00:22:04.360 international audience

00:22:05.260 already.

00:22:06.400 They're reporting

00:22:07.220 back to you

00:22:07.760 when they go

00:22:08.240 door to door

00:22:08.780 knocking on doors

00:22:09.560 trying to get people

00:22:10.220 to support them.

00:22:11.540 The number one issue

00:22:12.620 that people want

00:22:13.240 to talk about

00:22:13.860 when face-to-face

00:22:14.860 is about this

00:22:16.180 Islamic invasion 1.00

00:22:17.480 of Texas.

00:22:18.260 Am I hearing you

00:22:18.880 correctly?

00:22:19.800 Yes.

00:22:20.180 In certain parts

00:22:20.940 of Texas,

00:22:22.940 you've got,

00:22:23.500 this is the number

00:22:24.240 one issue

00:22:25.000 followed by

00:22:25.620 property taxes

00:22:26.600 and the border

00:22:28.180 security issue.

00:22:29.760 They believe

00:22:30.560 President Trump

00:22:31.420 has solved

00:22:32.380 that problem.

00:22:33.360 And I'm concerned

00:22:34.360 about a post-Trump

00:22:35.380 America,

00:22:35.800 so I'm not sold

00:22:37.000 that we've got

00:22:38.100 that finished

00:22:38.960 and tied up.

00:22:40.220 But I will tell

00:22:40.980 you that candidates,

00:22:42.080 when I ask them,

00:22:42.840 and I don't leave

00:22:43.460 the witness,

00:22:44.280 I just say,

00:22:44.920 what are the top

00:22:45.500 three issues

00:22:46.060 people are talking

00:22:46.800 to you about

00:22:47.520 at the door?

00:22:48.600 And they consistently,

00:22:50.820 all over the state

00:22:51.740 of Texas,

00:22:52.420 are identifying

00:22:53.100 this as an issue.

00:22:56.120 What does that tell you?

00:22:57.460 You've got a long

00:22:58.680 history in the

00:22:59.280 grassroots movement.

00:23:00.040 You've got a real

00:23:00.980 finger on the pulse

00:23:02.020 for what really

00:23:03.080 drives Texas politics.

00:23:05.680 What does that tell you?

00:23:06.320 Because five years ago,

00:23:08.100 you wouldn't have

00:23:08.560 heard that.

00:23:09.120 I mean,

00:23:09.300 what does that tell you

00:23:10.240 about,

00:23:10.740 and particularly

00:23:11.240 people want to do it,

00:23:13.040 hey,

00:23:13.380 because they're afraid

00:23:14.100 to do it maybe

00:23:15.260 in a more of a

00:23:15.900 community setting,

00:23:16.900 et cetera,

00:23:17.200 but when they got

00:23:17.780 somebody one-on-one,

00:23:18.700 they'll open up

00:23:19.240 about it.

00:23:19.680 What does that tell you

00:23:20.700 as someone who's

00:23:21.640 had your finger

00:23:22.180 on the pulse

00:23:22.740 of Texas politics

00:23:23.700 for many decades?

00:23:25.900 Well,

00:23:26.440 Texas conservatives

00:23:27.620 are very informed.

00:23:29.720 They know where

00:23:30.280 to get their news,

00:23:31.420 Steve,

00:23:32.340 War Room being

00:23:32.980 one of them.

00:23:33.580 And they know

00:23:36.160 where to get

00:23:36.600 their news.

00:23:37.280 And look,

00:23:37.640 let me tell you,

00:23:38.820 the grassroots

00:23:39.480 have always been

00:23:40.820 ahead of the

00:23:42.060 political class

00:23:43.520 in Texas

00:23:44.600 as identifying

00:23:45.380 problems.

00:23:46.480 We were talking

00:23:47.260 about the wide

00:23:48.080 open border

00:23:48.840 way before anybody

00:23:49.840 thought it was

00:23:50.600 sexy enough

00:23:51.320 in Austin

00:23:51.800 to talk about.

00:23:53.560 In fact,

00:23:54.480 President Trump,

00:23:55.120 we were talking

00:23:55.680 about banning

00:23:56.460 sanctuary cities

00:23:57.500 back in 2012

00:23:58.540 and 2014,

00:23:59.980 and it took

00:24:00.700 Donald J.

00:24:01.500 Trump to make

00:24:02.280 it a sexy

00:24:03.000 enough issue

00:24:03.820 for Austin

00:24:04.640 to care

00:24:05.120 anything about.

00:24:06.860 So,

00:24:07.540 the grassroots

00:24:08.300 are always

00:24:09.120 ahead of the

00:24:09.700 politicians,

00:24:11.220 and so we

00:24:11.840 simply have

00:24:12.680 to start

00:24:13.420 raising the

00:24:15.700 alarms to

00:24:16.500 the elected

00:24:17.060 officials and

00:24:17.800 tell them,

00:24:18.720 you need to

00:24:19.160 convene in

00:24:19.760 Austin,

00:24:20.480 you need to

00:24:21.000 convene in

00:24:21.560 interim hearings

00:24:23.400 across the

00:24:24.060 state of Texas,

00:24:25.140 hear from the

00:24:25.780 people,

00:24:26.500 and the people

00:24:27.080 will tell you

00:24:27.840 that they want

00:24:28.500 you to take

00:24:29.080 action.

00:24:29.800 And you need

00:24:30.300 to take action

00:24:31.020 now.

00:24:31.380 We cannot

00:24:31.780 wait.

00:24:32.620 This is the

00:24:33.620 number one

00:24:34.320 issue,

00:24:35.000 Steve,

00:24:35.380 because Texas

00:24:36.500 is the crown

00:24:37.940 jewel of the

00:24:40.100 Islamic movement.

00:24:43.920 You think

00:24:44.580 it's that

00:24:44.960 targeted?

00:24:45.500 You think

00:24:45.840 that they

00:24:46.220 understand if

00:24:46.780 they take

00:24:47.120 down Texas,

00:24:47.820 they can

00:24:48.060 take down

00:24:48.440 America?

00:24:48.960 If you take

00:24:49.280 down America,

00:24:49.880 you take

00:24:50.080 the world,

00:24:50.560 ma'am?

00:24:51.540 Yes,

00:24:51.780 I do.

00:24:52.320 Yes,

00:24:52.520 I do.

00:24:53.460 And I,

00:24:54.680 you know,

00:24:55.240 Steve,

00:24:55.600 yes.

00:24:58.420 No,

00:24:58.920 go ahead.

00:24:59.300 Keep going.

00:24:59.920 Keep going.

00:25:00.160 No,

00:25:00.260 I'm just,

00:25:01.300 we have

00:25:01.880 for the

00:25:02.200 longest time

00:25:03.080 availed

00:25:04.480 ourselves

00:25:05.020 of people

00:25:05.980 that I

00:25:06.360 believe are

00:25:07.300 subject matter

00:25:08.960 experts.

00:25:10.020 I mean,

00:25:10.480 Frank Gaffney.

00:25:11.760 We have

00:25:12.620 a couple

00:25:13.400 of Muslim,

00:25:14.320 former Muslims

00:25:15.220 who became

00:25:16.120 Christians who 0.54

00:25:17.040 are now

00:25:17.400 pastors,

00:25:17.960 who are

00:25:18.920 sounding the

00:25:19.560 alarm and

00:25:20.040 they are

00:25:20.380 teaching how

00:25:21.960 deceptive 0.98

00:25:23.260 Islam is 0.99

00:25:25.380 when it

00:25:25.720 comes into

00:25:26.280 a community.

00:25:27.040 I think

00:25:27.980 at our

00:25:28.460 pre-conference

00:25:29.500 meeting,

00:25:30.040 I mentioned

00:25:30.560 the fact

00:25:31.100 that I

00:25:31.940 was one

00:25:32.420 of the

00:25:32.780 only elected

00:25:33.620 officials,

00:25:34.300 I think,

00:25:34.660 the last

00:25:35.040 25 years

00:25:36.060 here locally

00:25:37.720 that refused

00:25:38.500 to participate

00:25:39.540 in a

00:25:40.480 Ramadan

00:25:40.840 celebration

00:25:41.920 at a

00:25:42.660 mosque.

00:25:44.280 Now,

00:25:44.600 that's

00:25:44.880 controversial

00:25:45.620 when you've

00:25:46.700 got local

00:25:47.300 elected officials

00:25:48.140 who want

00:25:48.720 to kiss

00:25:49.120 up to

00:25:49.540 everybody.

00:25:50.100 So we're

00:25:51.040 telling our

00:25:52.320 grassroots

00:25:52.740 folks in

00:25:53.720 the MAGA

00:25:54.200 movement that

00:25:55.240 they need to

00:25:55.900 start contacting

00:25:56.840 their local

00:25:57.480 elected officials

00:25:58.420 and say,

00:25:59.420 stop doing

00:26:00.680 that.

00:26:01.820 You've got to

00:26:02.640 put Texans 0.99

00:26:03.520 first,

00:26:04.320 and you

00:26:04.900 cannot be

00:26:05.640 consorting

00:26:06.320 with the

00:26:06.700 enemy.

00:26:09.940 Joanne, 1.00

00:26:10.620 hang her for 1.00

00:26:10.980 one second 0.91

00:26:11.340 away.

00:26:11.600 I'm going to

00:26:11.760 hold you

00:26:12.000 through a

00:26:12.240 break.

00:26:12.500 Joanne

00:26:12.700 Fleming's

00:26:13.620 Grassroots

00:26:14.120 America.

00:26:15.180 People,

00:26:15.760 one of the

00:26:16.100 largest

00:26:16.400 grassroots

00:26:16.920 organizations

00:26:17.580 in the

00:26:18.460 state of

00:26:18.820 Texas and

00:26:19.580 the United

00:26:19.900 States of

00:26:20.280 America.

00:26:21.200 And of

00:26:21.460 course,

00:26:21.760 one of the

00:26:22.060 greatest

00:26:22.340 experts,

00:26:22.960 living experts

00:26:23.620 on all

00:26:24.900 things

00:26:25.460 radical

00:26:26.000 Islam.

00:26:26.680 That would

00:26:26.880 be Raymond

00:26:27.300 Ibrahim,

00:26:27.900 who joins

00:26:28.300 us from

00:26:28.860 Budapest.

00:26:29.520 A short

00:26:29.920 break,

00:26:30.560 back in a

00:26:30.900 moment.

00:26:31.100 Budapest.

00:26:44.260 The

00:27:01.100 There's a lot of politicians that should be getting coal in their stockings for Christmas, 0.99

00:27:05.260 but Birch Gold thinks as a smart planner, you deserve silver. That's why for every $5,000

00:27:12.720 you purchase between now and December 22nd, Birch Gold will send you an ounce of silver

00:27:18.740 free. Remember, silver is up over 60% this year and over $60 an ounce. You see,

00:27:27.740 smart people diversify and have a hedge. That's why I encourage you to buy gold from Birch Gold.

00:27:34.160 With the rate cuts from the Fed in 2026, the dollar will be worth less. And what happens if the AI

00:27:39.800 bubble burst? Diversify. Let Birch Gold Group help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax

00:27:48.020 sheltered IRA in physical gold. Let me repeat that, physical gold. And for every $5,000 you buy,

00:27:55.940 you'll get an ounce of silver for your stocking or for your kids. What a great way to teach them

00:28:02.060 about saving smartly. Just text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898 to claim your eligibility

00:28:40.740 yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief from your credit card

00:28:45.720 and other debt? I might have a solution. Here's why now is the time to make a move. This time of

00:28:52.520 year, credit card and loan companies close out their books. They clean up past due accounts. They

00:28:58.860 sell a write-off to debt to clear their books. That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid

00:29:04.380 bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before you're in. That means

00:29:11.080 right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage. And Done With Debt knows how to use

00:29:18.440 this to your advantage. They monitor lender trends and understand the year-end pressure on creditors.

00:31:49.820 Thank you. Welcome back to War Room, Texas. I want to thank our sponsor, Patriot Mobile 972.

00:31:56.780 Patriot, as the company says, you call that number, you'll talk to what is a hillbilly with the East

00:32:02.200 Texas accent, a United States citizen. Not simply the best mobile phone service out there, but a

00:32:08.480 company that supports your value. Christian company supports Christian values, and they support,

00:32:14.680 you know, first responders, veterans, all of it. Glenn Story and the team, and of course, Glenn Story

00:32:21.080 and his wife, Jenny, were instrumental in pulling together this amazing conference we had a couple

00:32:26.000 weeks ago. Gert Wilders from the Netherlands, an individual that warned his country, warned Europe

00:32:32.500 about this invasion decades ago, and now is one of the leading political figures. In fact, he keeps

00:32:37.900 winning in Netherlands, but they've only put together a coalition because he wants mass

00:32:42.680 deportations of Muslims in his own country, and we had the great Glenn Beck. Glenn Beck was absolutely

00:32:49.020 amazing. In fact, Glenn Beck was on this problem 10 or 15 years ago, still wrote one of the best books

00:32:55.660 on Islamic invasion ever written. So if you go to Amazon, I think it's Islam is the Problem. It's an 1.00

00:33:01.860 incredible book. Glenn Beck was there. I said a few, I gave a few appropriate remarks.

00:33:07.240 Grant Stitchfield, et cetera. 972 Patriot, go check it out today. So Joanne, you're talking about

00:33:12.360 hearings. You know, Brian Harrison sent these letters. Are you talking about hearings first?

00:33:16.560 Then I take it you want a special session. You're saying this has got to be codified.

00:33:20.100 We have to take Governor Abbott's declaration of calling. And look, I've been someone that's not

00:33:26.920 been Governor Abbott's best ally ever. I've been kind of opposed to a lot he's done, but I give a

00:33:33.280 hat tip that he did come out in front of the president of the United States and head of Governor

00:33:37.940 DeSantis, who I know is very worried about the same topic. He designated him a terrorist organization,

00:33:42.740 and he threw in care, which I think is very important. He says there's investigations going on.

00:33:47.540 They're going to put more meat on the bone on that. But you're saying, hey, we got a legislature

00:33:51.940 that's famous. Let's get on with it. Hearings first, hear from citizens, hear from experts,

00:33:58.060 then call a special session and let's codify it. Is that basically your plan? Is that what you

00:34:03.600 recommend happen? Go ahead. Yes, absolutely, Steve, because I've got to tell you, the legislature

00:34:09.340 over the last 23, 24 years is infamous for passing every exit on a dangerous highway and

00:34:19.920 doing nothing. You know, talking a lot about it and getting nothing done. I'm going to tell you,

00:34:26.540 since Governor Abbott decided to drive a stake in the ground on this, we absolutely need to have a

00:34:33.240 sense of urgency from the Lieutenant Governor, a Republican, and the Republican House Speaker,

00:34:40.340 Mr. Burroughs, to get something done. They need to codify this. They need to come in and support

00:34:45.900 Governor Abbott on this for the good of Texas. Well, look, we've got to save Texas because if we

00:34:51.540 don't save Texas, we aren't saving the United States. And yeah, this is going to be a big battle.

00:34:57.120 It's going to be a brutal battle and it may be dangerous. But you know what, Steve? You got to

00:35:02.520 love Texas more. And we do. And so that's why I say we're going to ask them to close the loopholes

00:35:11.960 that they left for Epic City. We want them to stop the money going to the mosque and to these 1.00

00:35:17.640 Islamist communities in Texas. We want the local elected officials to stop funding them. And we want 0.68

00:35:24.640 to codify, you know, this designation that Governor Abbott has done and include language in it for

00:35:31.040 crying out loud that will cover it. If they morph into something else and change their names, we want

00:35:37.500 to make sure that we've got everything covered.

00:35:43.340 Joanne, one of the things we're doing, obviously, a lot of people are doing research now. They're getting

00:35:48.280 into the state, what's published on state websites. People are looking at this. Some of the money

00:35:53.920 and we're trying to get we're trying to get our arms around it. But it looks like you may have a

00:35:58.240 situation here almost as bad as what they got in Minnesota with the Somalians. But what I don't 1.00

00:36:03.760 understand is why is the lieutenant governor, your lieutenant governor, who's supposed to be a

00:36:08.200 conservative, has been the biggest pusher of these schools like Harmony, etc., which are basically

00:36:14.040 Islamic schools. This one driven by a quite dangerous, I would say, you know, cult tied to a Turk 1.00

00:36:22.280 who had exile here in the United States away from Erdogan, but was a pretty militant brand

00:36:28.820 of Islam. Why is the lieutenant governor of the state been such a driver, not just in the school

00:36:33.100 choice program, but to make sure that you could actually start these Islamic schools, ma'am?

00:36:38.720 I don't know, Steve. I haven't talked to Dan about it, but he is sadly misinformed and in a dangerous

00:36:45.460 way. I will tell you that as we're talking to state board of education candidates, you know,

00:36:51.440 the state board of education approves the charters for charter schools. And so we're questioning them

00:36:58.700 on this topic to ask them if they have any idea of what kind of a threat this is to us, because in

00:37:05.120 those schools, they teach hatred of America and the United States Constitution. Look, this is not a

00:37:13.920 religious liberty issue. This is about an ideology, a push toward a form of law that completely subverts 0.55

00:37:25.500 the United States Constitution. We cannot have it. Just as Congressman Self said, they are diametrically

00:37:32.700 opposed. They cannot coexist. These two forms of law cannot coexist in the United States and certainly

00:37:40.040 not in the state of Texas. Joanne, you're leading an effort to make sure that everything comes

00:37:46.460 together on primary day on 3 March, including a massive push to pass its highest possible percentage

00:37:53.960 of vote, Proposition 10, which is really about banning Sharia law in Texas. Where do people go

00:38:00.060 to find out more about the grassroots efforts you're leading and the details of what you're saying about

00:38:05.460 this Islamic invasion and how we have to really stop it, start to stop it on March 3rd on this 1.00

00:38:10.880 on this primary day? Ma'am. With grassrootsamericawethepeople.com, that's G-A-W-T-P.com.

00:38:19.520 And before the end of this week, we will have launched this effort. And we want people to know that at

00:38:27.760 your precinct level, at your county level, at your Senate district level, we're asking all of our

00:38:33.780 coalition leaders, we have a statewide coalition, we're asking them all to activate their local

00:38:39.180 groups to get people out to vote on this issue. It is not, you're not creating law, it's not like

00:38:46.380 it's a constitutional amendment, but you are sending a very strong message to elected officials that

00:38:53.460 you've had enough of it, and you want them to put Texas first.

00:38:57.540 Joanne, social media, do you have, you got a website you go to, do you have social media

00:39:03.940 people can track your coordinates? Yes, at G-A-W-T-P, G-A-W-T-P. Yes, sir?

00:39:13.940 Ma'am, as long, as long as Texas has folks like you that are tough as boot leather, things are going

00:39:19.740 to turn out fine. Honored to have you on here, honored to be working with you on this topic.

00:39:23.660 That's what you get with conservative Texas women, Steve. Tough. 1.00

00:39:31.640 Thank you, ma'am. Thank God. Thank God in heaven we got them. Thank you, ma'am.

00:39:38.980 Raymond, we're going to have you on a lot because you're, I think, one of the best educators of

00:39:43.660 people in the world. You come from a long line of Coptic Christians, correct?

00:39:48.800 Yeah, Coptic Christians, and those are the indigenous inhabitants of Egypt who are, of

00:39:55.100 course, all Christian. And the very word Coptic actually comes from the same word of Egyptian,

00:40:01.140 you know, Egypt, Gipt, became Copt. So when the Arabs entered and conquered Egypt, they just 0.99

00:40:06.340 dropped the first and last syllable and called them the Gipt's, and we became known as the Copt. 0.83

00:40:11.220 So yeah, it's an ethnic, but it's also a religious designation. And they're the descendants of the

00:40:16.700 pharaohs, actually. I like to remind people that even the Coptic language, which still exists in

00:40:21.460 the liturgy, is the direct descendants of the pharaonic language, which has nothing to do with

00:40:25.900 Arabic, of course, even though Arabic is today the primary language of Egypt. It's, yeah, it's the

00:40:32.420 Coptic language. So yeah, we know a lot about Islam. We're about one of the earliest groups of people

00:40:38.040 who encountered the jihadist sword. Like I said, right around 640. This would only be eight years after

00:40:44.980 Muhammad's death and about 70 years before Islam reached the, you know, France and the Battle of 0.93

00:40:51.340 Tours. And, you know, you fast forward to now, literally 14 centuries, and they're still the

00:40:57.620 number one people who tend to be maybe other than maybe Christians in Nigeria and in other sub-Saharan

00:41:04.340 nations, the Copt and the other indigenous Christians like the Assyrians in Iraq and in Syria.

00:41:12.720 But hang on. I want to go back. If we can put up, if we can put up the covers of his books, because

00:41:18.380 folks, I strongly recommend you get all three books in regards to this. You will hear that you'll see

00:41:24.880 the history of this invasion, not just in the West, but throughout the entire world, number one,

00:41:31.020 Sword and Scimitar. You'll then, his second book was about the heroes that stood in the breach of which

00:41:37.760 people in this audience are going to have to replicate those heroes. Defenders of the West,

00:41:42.020 which were just incredible. And now you've got the one about the military orders during the

00:41:46.780 Crusades, the Knights Hospitur, the Knights of St. John, and the Knights Templars. Raymond, the books

00:41:52.520 are gripping. But I just want to leave folks with the following. Greatest state of Texas is, and I say

00:41:59.620 this as a Virginian, and as a Virginian, you're raised to think that Virginia is not just the greatest

00:42:05.500 state in the Union, but the Union wouldn't exist if it was not for Virginia. You know, it's called

00:42:10.480 the mother of presidents, you know, with Washington and Jefferson and even in the Civil War, right?

00:42:16.720 The leaders of both sides. So Virginian takes a, have, are from small children are imbued with this

00:42:25.140 love of the Commonwealth and how important it's been in history. And I say this now as an adult in my

00:42:30.520 70s, that having traveled the entire world and have, I have a pretty good feel for geopolitics and

00:42:37.000 geoeconomics, uh, and also the populist nationalist movement that is kind of driven throughout the

00:42:42.740 world now, that Texas is unique. It is the jewel of the crown of the American Republic. And the Islamists 1.00

00:42:50.040 have targeted Texas. It's different than Dearborn, Michigan, although they're trying some of the same

00:42:54.320 thing. It's different than New York City, the financial capital of the world. They understand that if they can

00:43:00.520 take over Texas, uh, they can basically take over the American Republic and therefore change world

00:43:06.820 history. This is a very organized, uh, very thoughtful plan to do this. Don't think these

00:43:12.720 people are dumb. They are not dumb. They're very cunning and they're very smart. And that's why it's 1.00

00:43:17.260 got to be thwarted. Um, and I want to leave people and Raymond jump in here. They came out, these are

00:43:23.720 better ones that came out of a, a wilderness, a desert, like you've never seen a desert in your life.

00:43:29.100 And then the matter of 70 years, they conquered Persia, Babylon, uh, Syria, what is today, uh, 0.99

00:43:39.540 you know, Israel, but North Egypt, the ancient civilization, most ancient civilization. I think

00:43:44.560 we have even more than China, Egypt with a very strong religious bent in North Africa. I tell people,

00:43:51.060 I say St. Augustine, probably the greatest of the church fathers was, uh, was a Berber out of North 1.00

00:43:56.700 Africa. They conquered North Africa and were into Spain and came within, I think 150 miles of Paris

00:44:04.120 where they were stopped with by Charles Martel. Uh, Raymond, this came out of the Middle East 1.00

00:44:10.880 or came out of Saudi Arabia, uh, on fire. And they understand that. And that's why they're trying to

00:44:18.060 conquer the United States of America. And they're trying to do it through Texas, sir, your thoughts.

00:44:23.760 That's exactly right, Steve. Um, it's, it's that long, painful history that most people are unaware

00:44:30.480 of that really underscores everything we're talking about and should make things very clear because

00:44:35.140 from the get go, from right from the beginning, once Islam started spreading, it was primarily 0.96

00:44:39.980 against Christian territories. The, the, the exception would be Persia, Zoroastrian Persia, but the rest of 0.97

00:44:45.520 those areas that you mentioned from greater Syria, Egypt, all the way westward were overwhelmingly

00:44:50.740 Christian Spain, of course, and then into France. And so a great many conquests, uh, were against

00:44:57.460 and, and that was just the beginning. Then later on the Turks, of course, took the Balkans and Asia

00:45:02.380 Minor and so forth. And, and, you know, you fast forward. So speaking of America, America's very

00:45:07.700 first war, people need to remember this as a nation after it gained independence was against Muslims under

00:45:13.620 the same exact logic. And, uh, I think we can, we can close with this final, you know, anecdote of

00:45:19.300 Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, who just don't, who didn't get it. They're enlightened thinkers.

00:45:24.180 And, um, here are Muslims from North Africa who are attacking, plundering, raiding American vessels, 1.00

00:45:29.540 enslaving, uh, American sailors. And Jefferson and Adams meet with the, um, the ambassador from Tripoli,

00:45:35.720 one of the Barbary states. And they ask him, they just say, what we, we, we, we don't count anyone our

00:45:40.680 enemy. We, we don't provoke anyone. And if no one provokes us, we won't attack them. Why don't we trade?

00:45:45.800 Why don't we have business? And he, the, the, the, uh, ambassador sounds just like ISIS. He's, he, 0.85

00:45:52.040 Jefferson wrote a letter to Congress and in the letter, Jefferson says, he told us that our prophet says

00:45:57.640 you're our enemy. Our, our Quran says we have to lay in wait, ambush you, kill you, use stratagems and 0.98

00:46:03.880 enslave you. And this was, of course, he didn't know this Jefferson, but he was paraphrasing the Muslim 0.99

00:46:08.620 Quran nine five, which is known as the sword verse. So it sort of makes sense when you fast forward to

00:46:14.520 today and you see all the complications that Europeans are having with Muslims and not just 0.94

00:46:20.240 Europeans, Australia, uh, wherever you have, you know, significant Muslim populations living side by side 0.88

00:46:25.920 with law and Muslims, as Samuel Huntington said in his book, uh, you know, Islam's borders are bloody as 1.00

00:46:32.340 are its innards, very true statement. So you fast forward and you come to today and, you know, 0.91

00:46:36.980 Americans by nature are a very, uh, hospitable people and they, you know, like they'll give you

00:46:42.640 the benefit of the doubt, but I think they're starting to learn, um, you know, if not from

00:46:46.600 history, I mean, to me, history just fills in the gaps. It gives us context. It makes you understand

00:46:51.120 what's happening, but they're, they're learning it the hard way, just the way the Europeans are learning

00:46:55.840 it the hard way that Islam is just at variance at odds with everyone else, especially Christian,

00:47:01.800 Western civilization. And it's not there to coexist in its initial nascent stages. Sure. It'll talk

00:47:08.300 about just like Muhammad did when he was weak. He had his own stratagem, which was when he was weak, 0.99

00:47:12.700 he preached tolerance and freedom and cooperation, no coercion in religion, et cetera. And when he became

00:47:19.640 strong, then all that tolerance went out the window and it was basically the sword, Islam or, or,

00:47:25.280 or conversion or vimitude. So you can expect that sort of treatment if, and when Muslims, uh, you 1.00

00:47:32.260 know, reach that sort of critical stage as they already are in parts of Europe. Um, you know,

00:47:37.320 Trump called it right when he said that Europe is undergoing a civilizational erasure. That's a

00:47:42.340 very important phrase that I think everyone should be cognizant of. And we don't want to reach that

00:47:47.220 point now. And like I said, it's always easier, always better. If you can dip it in the bud early on,

00:47:52.560 rather than wait and have it, you know, mushroom to a huge problem. Think about places like the UK

00:47:57.860 and Germany and France, what, you know, they have like 10, 15% Muslim population. So even if they end

00:48:04.820 immigration right now, this is something they're going to always have to live with. And, uh, I don't 1.00

00:48:09.680 think we want to reach that point. No, it's terrible. I just want to remind people, uh, this church

00:48:15.900 started as a desert church that totally got erased. Also, these are ancient civilizations that had their

00:48:21.740 own religions, Persia, Babylon, Syria, Egypt, North Africa, and eventually they took Spain, I think,

00:48:28.880 for almost, uh, 800 or 900 years. Raymond, one more time, if we can put the books up, can you just

00:48:33.940 walk through briefly each book? Cause I want the audience, if you want to get educated, these are

00:48:39.720 the three best. They're highly readable. And, and Raymond writes it in a way that keeps you at the edge of

00:48:44.920 your seat. What is the first book? Sword and Scimitar. What is that about?

00:48:48.420 Yeah. Thanks, Steve. So the first book is Sword and Scimitar, the subtitle 14 centuries of war

00:48:54.120 between Islam and the West. And that one really, uh, follows the history of Islam's annexation and 0.91

00:49:00.100 conquest of Western Christian territory. As I had been saying, Egypt and Syria, all these nations that

00:49:05.640 people seldom think of as being Western. Well, they were part of Christendom. Actually, they were the

00:49:10.320 older, richer, more, uh, learned and sophisticated part of Christendom. People forget, and they were all

00:49:15.380 violently conquered. Um, so Sword and Scimitar looks at that in the context of the eight most decisive

00:49:21.620 battles that I talk about chronologically. So the first one would be the battle of Yarmouk, which led

00:49:27.020 to the conquest of Syria and Egypt. And the last one would be the siege of, uh, Vienna in 1683. But I

00:49:33.560 also talk about the Barbary, uh, wars that of America in 1801, 1805. And then, um, the second book would

00:49:40.360 be defenders of the West, the Christian heroes who stood against Islam. And this does, it follows the 1.00

00:49:46.500 same trajectory, but now through the lives and the lens of these heroes, eight heroes. Uh, so the

00:49:53.180 Sword and Scimitar is eight battles. This is eight heroes. And I go again, chronologically. Uh, so

00:49:57.960 there are many biographies, eight mini biographies of Christian warriors and their battles against Islam.

00:50:04.320 And I think there's a lot to learn from that in a lot of inspirational material as well. And then the

00:50:10.080 newest book, the two swords of Christ, uh, which deals with the military orders, especially the

00:50:15.720 Templars and the hospitalers and the wars against Islam, Islam, that really, and that's the longest 0.99

00:50:21.700 book. And that one really, if you're interested in the crusades, this is it because the Templars and

00:50:26.900 the hospitalers were the backbone of the crusade. So virtually every crusade is covered in detail,

00:50:31.160 but more importantly, and as captured by the title, two swords of Christ, that of course is a

00:50:36.020 reference to the biblical verse in Luke, where, uh, where Jesus tells his disciples, if you don't

00:50:42.780 have a sword, go sell your garment and buy one. And then they say, look, Lord, here's two swords.

00:50:46.780 And he says, that's enough. And, you know, to most modern day Christians, that verse means

00:50:51.200 absolutely nothing. You see, he's certainly not talking about swords, which begs the question,

00:50:55.540 what's he talking about? Um, to pre-modern Christians, especially medieval Christians,

00:50:59.600 and this comes out very often in these books because they would talk about these verses,

00:51:03.420 that verse meant, uh, you have two swords, one against spiritual enemies, which we still

00:51:08.180 acknowledge, but one against secular enemies, um, including the Muslims.

00:51:14.020 Uh, Raymond, you're coming to us live from Budapest. We appreciate it. What social media,
