Sid Miller is the Commissioner of Agriculture in Texas and served as Agriculture Secretary under President Donald Trump from 2017-2019. In this episode, Sid talks about his early days in politics and how he became a supporter of the Trump administration.
00:04:48.660In fact, the bailout is really trying to make sure we're not bailing out agribusiness, but we're bailing out family farms.
00:04:53.740So what pressures are they under today?
00:04:55.780Well, we've got and the pressures are a lot less.
00:05:00.080They're getting better and better and they're fixing to get really, really good.
00:05:02.960The tariffs and Trump said this in the first administration, he reminded him this time, you know, it's going to get a little rough, but I'm going to take care of you.
00:05:08.700I'll take this tariff money and I'll prop you up.
00:08:22.800We take, on those trips, about 15 to 20 companies.
00:08:25.320You're the tip of the spear of this issue with Mexico, with illegal alien labor, but also Mexico is our biggest trade partner in agriculture.
00:08:34.600Walk us through what President Trump has done to make sure that the American farmer is put first versus the product, because there's a ton of product that comes in from Mexico.
00:08:43.180And quite frankly, on the affordability issue, you need some of that, correct?
00:08:46.640Well, yes, the biggest thing, this is huge, for Texans it is, we got our water bill paid.
00:09:22.360They announced yesterday that they were going to pay the next five years, you know, 350,000 cubic feet every year, and they're going to catch up and get current with the water that they owe us.
00:09:57.020And so about two days later, Trump announced, look, Mexico, if you don't pay your water, you're not getting your water from the Colorado River.
00:10:27.740And the data centers, you know, Governor DeSantis just said this morning, no data centers in Florida at all.
00:10:33.280He says, I'm not going to have data centers come down here, drive up the price of electricity for consumers, plus start taking our water, which we don't have that much of, and all to, you know, get these kids online and have these chatbots talking suicide to them.
00:10:55.580And with data centers comes not just this whole set of the Texas grid and aquifers, but it is the biggest source of drainage of water in the country, particularly the aquifers of Texas.
00:11:43.020You know, encourage people to do the right thing.
00:11:45.120So I came up with this idea called agriculture freedom zones.
00:11:49.080And if you'll build in our marginal land, not productive land, we'll give you some incentives like deferred capital gains or accelerated depreciation.
00:14:34.900And actually, I was Maha 10 years ago when I took this office because our schools—I'm responsible for 5.5 million school meals every day.
00:14:43.220I mean, that's a big lunchroom, the whole state of Texas.
00:14:46.920So our schools weren't serving any local products, none.
00:14:50.320It was all ultra-processed, flash-frozen, added sauce, dyes, preservatives.
00:14:54.900You know, just instead of having healthy kids, we had healthy trash cans.
00:17:25.900I'm going to issue my own executive order.
00:17:28.080Any ag culture business, any ag culture-related business, or any business that supports ag culture, you're essential, and you're to stay open.
00:17:34.400So, we opened up all the feed, seed, fertilizer dealers, Western stores, florists, landscapers, gun shops.
00:17:41.660He had them all closed, and that did not set well with him.
00:17:45.220He couldn't figure out how to deal with it.
00:17:46.920And then, again, he decided that he was going to inspect trucks as they were coming across the river from Mexico, even though they'd already been inspected.
00:17:55.600And he shut down the border, and we lost $3 billion worth of product rotted on those trucks that backed up.
00:18:02.620We had 750 Texas-owned trucks in Mexico.
00:18:08.080Do you think that that level of care of shutting him down for the double and triple inspections was worth it, or do you disagree with that?
00:18:14.420Well, I'll tell you the result, and you can get to decide.
00:18:16.860Found zero illegal aliens and zero contraband.
00:20:30.000What's the best way for Tom Holman and ICE in the state of Texas to do this that's logical, that do it that, so you're not crippling business.
00:24:15.520Your observations about the situation of Sharia law in Texas right now?
00:24:20.720Well, I came out – this was like October, I guess, and I called on Governor Abbott and the president to declare the Muslim Brotherhood and care of terrorist organizations.
00:24:57.500I mean, we've got to stop this before we end up like London or someplace like that.
00:25:02.800They come in and just eventually take over.
00:25:05.400And, you know, their goal is to, you know, have their representation in Congress, you know, have a majority there, and then they can install Sharia.
00:26:10.020By the way, you gave a magnificent interview back in 2016, and you were the cover bid to be the Department of the Secretary of Agriculture.
00:26:18.480I know the president thinks very highly of you, so thank you so much.
00:26:21.420We should take a short commercial break, Janet Guardino, a former FBI special agent and one of the top experts in the world and lives in Texas on this issue of Sharia law next in Warring, Texas.
00:30:09.280Criminals forge your signature on one document, use a fake notary stamp, pay a small fee with your county, and boom, your home title has been transferred out of your name.
00:30:21.760Then they take out loans using your equity or even selling your property.
00:30:26.800You won't even know it's happened until you get a collection or foreclosure notice.
00:30:32.460So let me ask you, when was the last time you checked your home title?
00:30:38.280If you're like me, the answer is never.
00:30:41.960And that's exactly what scammers are counting on.
00:31:33.720As the nation goes, so goes the world.
00:31:36.340Are you prepared to fight for this state?
00:31:39.100Are you prepared to fight for your country?
00:31:44.740John Guandola joins us, a former FBI, also military, been training about folks in D.C.
00:31:51.980That's where I met him years ago at the very beginning of all this, I think 15, 20 years ago, about Sharia law and the Islamic invasion of the West.
00:32:01.440John, we just had Sid Miller on, who's agriculture commissioner, and running again in a very tightly fought race.
00:32:10.080He came out in October and recommended to the president and the abbot that the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE in the state of Texas be designated terrorist organizations.
00:32:22.880Now, how we get, and he says because, hey, the ranchers and farmers here are talking about it all the time.
00:32:29.700One thing I think we've been able to do here from the time we had the first conference and the dinner and launched War Room Texas is giving people a permission structure to talk about this now.
00:32:41.340And people like Sid, a couple of months, getting far ahead of this and saying, hey, they've got to be designated terrorist organizations.
00:32:48.260You feel, I can tell you, we're inundated today, not just in Texas, of people that want to come on the show, people want to talk about this, but all over the country.
00:32:56.480Arizona, Oklahoma, Arkansas, South Carolina.
00:32:59.420And Mike Lindell came on the other day and said the first thing he would do in the governor's, when he was elected governor as a Republican, would be ban Sharia law in the state of Minnesota.
00:33:12.160And I might add that Mike Lindell, the first real poll that's come out in that primary, Mike Lindell is up one point over the Speaker of the House, a female who's the Speaker of the House, Republican Speaker of the House, or the leading Republican in the House in Minnesota.
00:33:27.820And she had like a 20 point lead on him at one time.
00:33:31.460Do you think we've actually provided a permission structure for people to start to talk about this?
00:33:36.020Because when I first met you in D.C., there was no permission structure to do that.
00:33:41.400In fact, in the original war against terror with Bush and these guys, we could never actually say what the reality was of the Muslim Brotherhood, and particularly this aspect of Islam about Sharia law, sir.
00:33:57.820So, yes, and thanks for having me on again, Steve.
00:34:01.060Yes, I do think it's interesting that so many people are speaking about this very openly and very frankly, which is, in one sense, as you mentioned, I think, you know, doing this for 25 years and seeing this.
00:34:21.200It's in one sense, I'm a little frustrated that, you know, 25, 20, 15, even 10 years ago, and even five years ago, and even a few years ago, those of us who are out here speaking it, you know, we've been threatened.
00:34:38.160We've been audited by the IRS, we've been sued, all these things, and now it's being talked about.
00:34:49.120So, yes, I believe the leaders have an open door to speak much more frankly than even a year ago, even two years ago, and that's a good thing.
00:35:02.720I think focusing the effort first on the Muslim Brotherhood is a very good thing because they drive much of the structure.
00:35:14.280I think we need to understand that this is a war that's being waged by hostile foreign powers using thousands of proxies in the United States to wage this war.
00:35:28.580And we're seeing that when you look across the United States, what's going on in Arizona, what's going on in Texas, what's going on in Minneapolis, what's going on in Michigan, what's going on, quite frankly, in North Carolina, what's going on in Atlanta.
00:35:44.820It's happening everywhere, and it has to be addressed.
00:35:50.160And certainly speaking about it is the first step.
00:35:53.200Why does it seem like it's everywhere all at once?
00:35:58.800I mean, you know, and I can tell this is happening because not just the outpouring I've gotten, we're going to, you know, we've had a huge conference today with grassroots leaders where over 100 showed up.
00:36:10.300They're fully dedicated to one proposition in March on the ballot, and that is to prohibit Sharia law in the state of Texas.
00:36:17.960But I've worked on grassroots and, you know, between Breitbart and President Trump's campaigns and then War Room, you know, we've always been a platform for the grassroots voices.
00:36:28.100I've never seen a galvanizing issue come together so quickly about this, but I'm seeing it in other states, too.
00:36:34.400People are coming to me all the time and saying, we have to do this in North Carolina.
00:36:43.160Why does it seem like all of a sudden this was right below the surface and people just need a permission structure to talk about it?
00:36:50.860Because when you say it's a war, what are the Muslim Brotherhood and the people trying to spread Sharia law, why have they chosen this minute or these last couple of years to really go full force into?
00:37:04.220Because when I knew you, a lot of it was about infiltration into the federal government, infiltration into the intelligence services, infiltration into law enforcement.
00:37:12.700And I tell people when I was in the White House for that year in 2017, from the time I took over the Trump campaign in 16 to 17, the one thing I had the biggest epic fail on where we succeeded in so many things, Paris Accord, you know, getting out of so many things and turning things around in the economic plan.
00:37:28.680I had literally a face plant when I tried to drive the designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
00:37:35.880The entire apparatus, particularly the State Department, the Pentagon was terrible.
00:37:42.300So these guys just provide hospitals and schools and they're really our allies throughout the world.
00:37:48.320I'm sitting there going, what are you talking about?
00:37:50.260But you couldn't make any traction at all.
00:37:52.160Why is it that it looks like across the nation in the states themselves, we're seeing this really, this drive of the Muslim Brotherhood and these foreign powers and their allies to bring Sharia in some sort of mass basis into the states of the United States?
00:38:09.460So this is a, I mean, this is the question.
00:38:12.580So it might be helpful for your audience to lay a couple markers on the ground.
00:38:17.780First of all, everything they do is about Sharia, the global Islamic movement.
00:38:23.040It's the stated purpose of Islam is to impose Allah's divine law, Sharia on the earth.
00:38:30.100But the modus operandi of these movements, the Muslim Brotherhood being the leading movement.
00:38:35.840But in the United States, we also have the Hezbollah Iranian elements and a very large movement there.
00:38:44.020The Dio Bandis, Tabliki Jamaat, Jamaati Islami, these other elements.
00:38:48.940The thing that I'm very concerned about is there are a lot of people talking about we need to ban Sharia.
00:38:58.200We need to ban the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:39:00.320But if you talk to them and say, I want you to explain to me what Sharia is and how do they use it in this war to undermine what we're doing, you get about five or ten seconds.
00:39:15.840And that's the end of the understanding.
00:39:18.860This is a war that's primarily being fought in the information battle space.
00:39:23.400So we still have people and it's a good thing that they're, you know, now they're starting to say, you know, the problem is Sharia and Sharia is a foundation of Islam.
00:39:38.560So saying that 25, 20, 15 years ago was not a popular thing.
00:39:44.480But now as the enemy is at literally their final stage of the war, they're not necessarily concerned that Americans are catching on in Sharia and in Islam.
00:40:01.900They you'll know everything about Sharia when you're under it.
00:40:06.480And you're not allowed to talk about it and they don't talk about it in truthful ways until they're in their final stages.
00:40:15.680And when you hear Muslims, as they are in the United States, speaking much more frankly about what jihad is, what Sharia is and what their true intentions are, it means they believe it's game over.
00:40:32.780Now, I don't necessarily believe that.
00:40:34.560I don't believe that, but we have to understand they're in the end game.
00:40:40.660And just now, Americans and our leaders are waking up that, hey, this might be a problem.
00:40:47.320Because for 30 years from the Clinton administration forward, we were told that Islam, true Islam, some mystical version of Islam, not taught anywhere on the planet, is really good.
00:41:02.120But this radical perversion of Islam that Al-Qaeda and Boko Haram teach and is taught, by the way, in every Islamic school on the planet, because it's a capital crime for Muslims to teach Muslims anything about Islam that's not actually true.
00:41:20.340So our understanding of this is still at a very, in my opinion, a very shallow depth.
00:41:30.340And actually, the citizens who have been trained or taken a deeper dive understand it at a much deeper level than the leadership of the state and federal governments around the United States.
00:41:59.960I want to go part of the thing in the conference today.
00:42:02.820One was workshops on what we're doing, on what the grassroots are doing to lead to 3 March.
00:42:08.220Which the whole half of it, at the end of it, was seminars actually sit there and go, you need to really understand this, you need to really understand the depth.
00:42:16.480Why do you say citizens right now are better trained than leaders at the state or federal level?
00:42:22.240That would come as a pretty big shock to folks.
00:42:25.480Out of necessity, because they've recognized their leaders aren't doing it.
00:42:30.780But I can tell you, over the last 20 plus years of actually training FBI, CIA, DHS, local and state law enforcement, 100% of them, 100% over the years, at the end of the training, I asked two questions.
00:43:23.460Whereas when we go in and teach citizens 10 years ago, five years ago, and today, and today it's even much more so, they walk in with at least a general understanding.
00:43:37.800Of these movements, and that they are operating in their community, and they even know some of the organizations, the Islamic Society of North America, Muslim Student Associations, Islamic Circle of North America, and they understand they're hostile.
00:43:56.100And that's the difference, is the way this war works.
00:44:04.580When you have jihadis advising presidents, governors, state legislators, pastors, chambers of commerce, how to defeat jihadis, it's no wonder that the leadership remains clueless.
00:44:19.580They're just staggeringly ignorant of the Islamic threat of Sharia, of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the other movements, and the networks, because that's the intentional target of the information operation from the enemy's perspective.
00:44:36.200So we've been looking, we have this narrative that there are these competing versions of Islam, and this was true under Bush.
00:44:47.880So what America needs to do is get the good Muslims to help us understand the bad Muslims, except there's only one Islam.
00:44:57.860So are there Muslims who don't want to adhere to Sharia and wage jihad?
00:45:02.800Yes, but what they believe doesn't constitute a different version of Islam.
00:45:07.900They're just outliers, and according to Sharia, they're apostates, and they should be killed.
00:45:13.520And so we can't base national security decisions, foreign policy, and domestic counterterrorism strategy based on someone who calls themselves a Muslim, number one, and doesn't follow Sharia.
00:45:31.080And number two, in fact, 100% of the people we're leaning on to get advice from in DHS, FBI, our general officers in the military, etc., are Muslim Brotherhood.
00:45:44.900They're jihadis in suits claiming to be nice people and presenting a very friendly image when, in fact, they're not.
00:45:53.140And that's why I say this is much more a counterintelligence, espionage, and subversive movement because they're still doing it.
00:46:01.880They're in this administration doing it, and it creates havoc because you have what appears to be competing versions of Islam,
00:46:11.460and you get people who are in national security positions saying, well, you know, what Saudi Arabia does is different from what Jordan does, is different from what Indonesia does.
00:47:55.820We did it before when people were like, well, we're going to bring this guy as Az Sultan into the first Trump administration.
00:48:03.340And I was able to demonstrate he's a jihadi.
00:48:06.760And Mike Flynn walked him out of the building.
00:48:09.640But there is, you're not, at that level, you're not going to get somebody who's not hostile.
00:48:16.540And this is the problem is we keep looking for the good ones.
00:48:20.060And at that level, the information campaign and the information battle is so strong that they make sure that the target is the leadership.
00:48:31.020The higher up in the chain, the more they're going to make sure that information is not getting to them.
00:48:36.960Whereas the people down at the ground level are still doing their due diligence and getting to them.
00:48:44.680And by the way, I just want to say this, the Hezbollah guy that got invited to the Trump inauguration, this past one, who was fired for bringing that guy in?
00:49:03.120And so long as we keep making these mistakes and they keep knowing that the enemy knows where those open doors are, where the counterintelligence failures are, they're walking right in.
00:49:58.120And yes, the book, The Campaign Plan for Victory, will be the third in that trilogy, Raising a Jihadi Generation, Islam's Deception, The Truth About Sharia, now the campaign plan for victory, which is literally a blueprint for how to win the war.
00:50:56.380By the way, when you call, you're going to talk to an American citizen, as the company says, maybe with an East Texas accent.
00:51:02.700Make sure you talk to the customer service, best customer service around.
00:51:05.540They will tell you all the benefits of going to Patriot Mobile.
00:51:10.080I think the best mobile service in the world, but also a company that supports your values, your Christian values.
00:51:17.600It's a Christian company led by some of the best people around, Glenn and Jenny Story.
00:51:23.360I want to thank Jenny for putting on this magnificent conference today of all the grassroots leaders that are working on this issue about the proposition for 3 March.
00:51:37.620Really pretty impressive what they've pulled together.
00:51:40.080Giving a permission structure to people to talk about the Sharia law in the state of Texas.
00:51:45.580And as Sid said today, hopefully we're going to win with a 95% margin, but we'll take any victory.
00:52:04.920Bounced around, back around $5,000 right now.
00:52:07.300Now, the guys at Birch Gold say, as long as the central banks are buying this and the amounts they're buying it, they think $10,000 may be the ceiling.
00:52:25.800We'll see you tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time back in the world.
