00:00:00.000 Islamic jihadis are plotting against you. 0.97

00:00:11.320 Why in the hell do you think they're in Houston and in the north of Dallas? 0.98

00:00:14.320 They are working together to overthrow Western civilization.

00:00:18.600 Sharia compounds, which are areas governed by religious rules.

00:00:22.280 We know who you are, we know what you are, and we know what you're trying to accomplish,

00:00:27.460 and it is not going to happen in the jewel of the crown of the union of this republic.

00:00:33.200 We purge any attempt to impose Sharia law in Texas.

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

00:00:39.380 You are not here properly, and you're going to leave.

00:00:44.600 On the 3rd of March, Sharia law goes on the ballot in the state of Texas.

00:00:50.220 The United States Constitution and Sharia are fundamentally at odds with one another. 0.99

00:00:54.700 We're going to tell them, take your Sharia law and shove it. 1.00

00:01:00.160 Islam will never dominate the United States, and by the grace of God, it will not dominate Texas. 1.00

00:01:07.060 As Texas goes, so goes the nation. As the nation goes, so goes the world.

00:01:12.820 Are you prepared to fight for this state? Are you prepared to fight for your country?

00:01:17.820 War Room, Texas, where your host, Stephen K. Bannon, starts right now.

00:01:26.860 It's Thursday, 5 February, in the year of our Lord, 2026.

00:01:30.380 We're very honored to have Sid Miller, the commissioner of agriculture in Texas.

00:01:35.760 Here is our guest for the first half of the show.

00:01:38.400 Sid, I first met you right after our come-from-behind victory in 2016 down in Mar-a-Lago.

00:01:44.560 That's right.

00:01:46.420 Ryan's previous night called you down, what was that meeting about?

00:01:49.040 Well, I'd been called to Mar-a-Lago for an interview, and you're pretty good to interview.

00:01:53.420 You grill hard, man.

00:01:55.220 I was considered for secretary of agriculture, cabinet position.

00:01:58.600 Yes, sir.

00:01:59.040 In fact, you were the cover of it, it turned out.

00:02:00.760 Sonny Perdue got it.

00:02:02.320 But later on, correct me if I'm wrong, I think you were approached a year or two later to say,

00:02:07.580 hey, look, for the second term, the president wanted you as the secretary of agriculture,

00:02:13.140 Sonny, Governor Perdue was going to move on.

00:02:15.420 They actually talked to you about coming in as a deputy, getting the Senate confirmed,

00:02:19.400 so you go through the FBI checks, et cetera, and then you would fleet up to agriculture secretary.

00:02:23.980 We were going in as deputy secretary.

00:02:25.740 The deputy had resigned.

00:02:27.160 It was towards the end of the administration.

00:02:29.480 And then after the election, Sonny wasn't going to do another term,

00:02:33.720 and then they'd slide me in from deputy into the secretary's position.

00:02:37.860 Let's go back to that time.

00:02:39.040 What was it that you felt with a populist nationalist outsider like Trump coming in,

00:02:46.000 breaking every rule in the traditional Republican Party and really in politics?

00:02:50.280 At the time, your pitch about being secretary of agriculture,

00:02:53.860 what did you think the country had to do as far as agriculture goes?

00:02:57.700 Because right now we're in a situation, I think we're doing a $14 billion kind of bailout of farmers, right,

00:03:03.720 because of the tariff situation.

00:03:04.940 What was your recommendation at the time that we should do?

00:03:08.240 Well, you know, I was a Trump supporter early on, the first statewide elected official in Texas.

00:03:13.080 I remember that.

00:03:14.180 That was big back then.

00:03:15.440 Yeah, it was.

00:03:17.300 I was running Brake part of the time when you did it.

00:03:19.400 We had two Texans running.

00:03:20.600 You know, we had Rick Perry and Ted Cruz.

00:03:22.580 Ted Cruz.

00:03:23.360 Why did you decide to back Trump back then?

00:03:25.880 There's no doubt in my mind.

00:03:27.460 This is the man.

00:03:28.400 Well, you know, he's bold.

00:03:29.940 He's independent.

00:03:31.020 No one owns him.

00:03:32.340 You know, I could tell he loves America.

00:03:35.200 And then that day, you know, you told me that he loves the family farmer.

00:03:39.300 And that, you know, that was all I needed to hear.

00:03:42.860 He was for the family farmer.

00:03:44.200 And that's my people, man.

00:03:46.360 That's us.

00:03:47.100 That's who I represent.

00:03:47.880 That's it.

00:03:48.740 So I brought you this challenge.

00:03:52.160 Thank you so much.

00:03:53.560 Keep it with you, because if you don't have it next time, you have to buy the drink.

00:03:57.160 We won't want to do that.

00:03:58.900 Tell me about family farms.

00:04:00.700 Where do you think we are right now?

00:04:01.940 We got we got Brooks around.

00:04:03.200 We have a Texan as secretary of agriculture right now.

00:04:06.480 Of course, Brooks started the America First Policy Institute.

00:04:09.440 Where do you think we are in the country overall, not just Texas, with family farms?

00:04:14.200 Well, the family farms are still the heartbeat of rural America.

00:04:20.320 Ninety five percent.

00:04:21.360 This is a shock you.

00:04:22.600 Ninety five percent of the farms in America are family farms.

00:04:26.400 Everybody thinks it's big corporations.

00:04:27.460 And that would be defined as what?

00:04:29.120 You know, run by the families.

00:04:31.180 Some of them are incorporated.

00:04:32.580 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:04:32.920 For legal reasons.

00:04:34.160 But to be able to pass down.

00:04:36.180 And pass down in tax reasons, things like that.

00:04:39.000 But, yeah, ninety five percent are family farms.

00:04:41.520 And a lot of them are passed on from generation to generation to generation.

00:04:46.260 But these are the ones that are under siege the most.

00:04:48.440 Right.

00:04:48.660 In fact, the bailout is really trying to make sure we're not bailing out agribusiness, but we're bailing out family farms.

00:04:53.740 So what pressures are they under today?

00:04:55.780 Well, we've got and the pressures are a lot less.

00:05:00.080 They're getting better and better and they're fixing to get really, really good.

00:05:02.960 The 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.

00:05:08.700 I'll take this tariff money and I'll prop you up.

00:05:11.340 You stay with me.

00:05:12.220 And now we're seeing the results of that.

00:05:14.180 You know, China just bought a bunch of soybeans. 0.68

00:05:16.640 They're talking about buying some more.

00:05:18.280 Prices are coming up.

00:05:19.460 We're going to get good prices for our commodities.

00:05:21.740 When Trump left that first administration, farmers were making more money than they had ever made.

00:05:25.940 It was good.

00:05:27.220 Particularly the year 19 before the pandemic.

00:05:29.140 Yeah.

00:05:29.580 Oh, yeah.

00:05:30.120 Yeah, it was.

00:05:30.840 Even during the pandemic.

00:05:32.220 What were those policies and what were those policies then that contributed to farms and particularly family farms doing well?

00:05:40.060 Well, Trump's aggressive trade policies is what put us in the black.

00:05:45.540 He found us new markets.

00:05:47.000 He increased our markets.

00:05:48.420 He got commitments to buy our products.

00:05:51.420 We were, you know, agriculture exports went through the roof.

00:05:53.980 And we owned the agriculture exports around the world, thanks to Donald Trump.

00:06:00.280 Do you feel the second term, the second administration, he's just as focused.

00:06:04.200 He gave a talk the other day about this very topic, about how he loves the farmers.

00:06:08.020 The farmers already supported him.

00:06:09.900 I know the media is trying to make a big deal about his tariff policies today being even more aggressive from Liberation Day.

00:06:15.440 Do you feel that his policies so far have helped particularly not just agribusiness but the family farmer?

00:06:21.720 Oh, absolutely.

00:06:23.340 You know, that first term, it took like two years for this to get to this point.

00:06:27.900 We're there in about 12, 14 months.

00:06:30.760 We're going to tip over a lot sooner.

00:06:32.660 The farmer's going to make a lot more money a lot quicker because those tariffs are kicking in. 0.60

00:06:37.020 They're working.

00:06:38.060 We had the first time he had like two, maybe three, you know, bailouts.

00:06:43.180 We had one this time is all it's going to take.

00:06:45.340 So farmers ready to make some money.

00:06:48.080 Biden ruined the agriculture industry.

00:06:51.020 What did he do?

00:06:53.100 What specifically, in your mind, did Biden do to hurt agriculture?

00:06:57.920 He didn't make one trade agreement.

00:07:00.060 None.

00:07:00.320 He didn't sign one contract.

00:07:01.900 So not only did we not find new markets for agriculture producers, we didn't even keep the customers we had.

00:07:07.980 The Foreign Agriculture Service and USDA, they were all focused on the Green New Deal, climate change, LBGTQ, DEI, you know, all this.

00:07:16.580 And that is not related to the business.

00:07:18.360 No, their deal is to, you know, protect and promote agriculture.

00:07:22.880 So first time in my lifetime, you know, America's always been the breadbasket of the world.

00:07:28.080 We grow enough for ourselves and feed a lot of the rest of the world.

00:07:31.440 Agriculture has always been one of our top exports.

00:07:34.240 Biden left us with a $50 billion agriculture trade deficit.

00:07:38.200 We are buying $50 billion more food than we're selling.

00:07:43.740 That means we are dependent on foreign nations to feed us.

00:07:47.380 When we're dependent on somebody else to feed us, that's when they can have full power over America.

00:07:52.840 That's the most dangerous situation I think we've ever been in.

00:07:55.800 So we're working hard to turn that around.

00:07:58.560 My office, I have 45 international trade missions set up in the next 12 months.

00:08:03.700 45 that you're going out, they're coming to you, or are you going to go?

00:08:08.440 Some of them are inbound.

00:08:09.920 Most of them are outbound.

00:08:11.580 I just got a team back from Dubai, one back from Oman, and one back from Mexico.

00:08:15.920 This is to be basically a sales agent for Texas agricultural product.

00:08:20.820 Exactly.

00:08:21.440 We take companies with us.

00:08:22.800 We take, on those trips, about 15 to 20 companies.

00:08:25.320 You'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.

00:08:34.020 Oh, yeah.

00:08:34.600 Walk 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.

00:08:43.180 And quite frankly, on the affordability issue, you need some of that, correct?

00:08:46.640 Well, yes, the biggest thing, this is huge, for Texans it is, we got our water bill paid.

00:08:54.660 They're paying the greed yesterday.

00:08:56.480 We have a 1944 water treaty.

00:08:58.680 We share the Rio Grande and share the water in it.

00:09:01.800 Well, Mexico has dammed up all the tributaries and rivers that flow into it and holding back the water, and we'll pay their part. 0.96

00:09:07.320 So we lost our sugarcane industry in Texas.

00:09:10.100 Last plant closed, not enough water.

00:09:11.680 We're losing our citrus industry.

00:09:13.060 That's our winter garden area where we grow our winter vegetables, and they couldn't plant a crop in the water.

00:09:20.440 So Trump put the pressure on them.

00:09:22.360 They 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.

00:09:33.520 So that's huge for Texas ag.

00:09:35.120 Is that because, maybe get you over in the shuttle a little bit more, is that because of pressure President Trump put on them?

00:09:41.400 Absolutely.

00:09:41.800 And there's no other reason to that.

00:09:43.560 You know, early I went up and met with a friend, Stephen Miller.

00:09:47.400 Yep.

00:09:47.880 And he said, this was, you know, back early.

00:09:50.180 And he said, oh, I didn't know about this.

00:09:51.440 I said, let me just, I'll get to Trump.

00:09:52.980 When did somebody tell me?

00:09:53.900 I said, well, you know, there was.

00:09:55.260 That's what you got to go to.

00:09:56.200 And he said, no.

00:09:57.020 And 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.

00:10:04.320 We'll just hold your water.

00:10:05.340 And they paid a little bit, but it didn't quite get there.

00:10:08.040 And then after that, he said, you know, you need to pay that water bill.

00:10:11.200 And if it's not paid by this date, we're going to put an extra 5% tariff across the board on Mexico.

00:10:16.280 You talk about water.

00:10:17.360 And that got them to the table.

00:10:18.280 What's the tension inside of Texas of, because Texas has been principally an agriculture, real estate, oil field services.

00:10:25.620 Now you get tech, big tech.

00:10:27.740 And the data centers, you know, Governor DeSantis just said this morning, no data centers in Florida at all.

00:10:33.280 He 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.

00:10:46.760 Texas is at the cutting edge of tech.

00:10:51.080 Austin, you always got Elon Musk.

00:10:53.340 But with tech comes data centers.

00:10:55.580 And 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.

00:11:05.660 What's going to happen here?

00:11:06.660 Well, it's too late to stop them.

00:11:08.640 They're here.

00:11:09.100 We've had over 400 of them already.

00:11:10.840 400 data centers.

00:11:11.520 Yeah.

00:11:11.780 And there's no oversight.

00:11:13.040 There's no guardrails.

00:11:14.000 There's no organization.

00:11:15.220 I want people to hear this.

00:11:17.460 They're just running wild.

00:11:18.620 They're just running wild.

00:11:19.500 They set up.

00:11:20.140 Our counties have no ordinance-making authority, so they can just do whatever.

00:11:25.000 So I get so many complaints.

00:11:26.540 They're building on our very most fertile farmland, taking up our, you know, once you pave over that farmland, it's gone.

00:11:32.480 I mean, you don't have it.

00:11:34.020 And they're using a lot of water and electricity and driving up electric rates.

00:11:37.420 So no one's doing anything.

00:11:39.420 And I don't like regulation.

00:11:42.040 I like incentives.

00:11:43.020 You know, encourage people to do the right thing.

00:11:45.120 So I came up with this idea called agriculture freedom zones.

00:11:49.080 And if you'll build in our marginal land, not productive land, we'll give you some incentives like deferred capital gains or accelerated depreciation.

00:11:59.700 And we'll get them.

00:12:01.680 They'll take us up on that.

00:12:02.920 They'll say, oh, wow, I can't pass that.

00:12:04.160 I mean, you'll take it away so they're not taking agricultural land.

00:12:07.240 They're out in the more desert areas.

00:12:08.980 The land we can't use for anything.

00:12:11.380 So we'll put them there.

00:12:12.980 Now, we do have the transmission, though.

00:12:15.040 They'll say, hey, we're losing so much on transmission from these remote things.

00:12:17.880 You've got to incentivize.

00:12:19.520 Make the incentives good enough, they'll do it.

00:12:22.300 We're going to solve the water and the electricity problem with a product called SMR.

00:12:26.900 SMR is small modular reactor.

00:12:29.440 They're similar to what we've been using.

00:12:30.720 You mean nuclear reactors?

00:12:32.120 Yeah, same thing we've been using for 60 years on our submarines and aircraft carriers.

00:12:36.540 So these things are much safer.

00:12:37.720 On submarines and aircraft carriers, you've got Hyman Rickover who's great.

00:12:40.500 I was a naval officer.

00:12:41.680 Oh, wow.

00:12:42.300 The nuclear navy is the best.

00:12:44.400 Are you going to have the same quality?

00:12:45.800 I mean, we haven't had an accident, I think, since Admiral Rickover started.

00:12:50.100 Are you confident?

00:12:51.040 None.

00:12:51.300 But are you confident that bringing nuclear power in here, which I'm a big nuclear power proponent,

00:12:56.080 it's going to be safe enough for the state of Texas?

00:12:58.920 These are actually much safer than what we're using on the submarines and ships.

00:13:02.900 So they can put these in, and you can just add them like a cart.

00:13:07.460 So that doesn't take the energy part, but it's still going to respect the water.

00:13:10.940 Well, yeah, it does, too.

00:13:12.640 So these SMRs will actually, they could put power back on the grid instead of taking it off.

00:13:19.320 You're saying they actually be positive for the population to potentially lower electrical bills?

00:13:27.380 And they don't have to be cooled with water.

00:13:29.380 That's another big deal.

00:13:30.720 They can be cooled with hydrogen.

00:13:32.640 And Roderick, Abilene Christian University, they're doing research on molten salt, cooling them with salt.

00:13:39.020 And so we use those.

00:13:40.100 Those are closed loops, so there's no, you know, anything to get rid of.

00:13:45.540 And they don't use our water, and they're going to use our electricity.

00:13:47.880 We're going to be in pretty good shape, pretty good shape.

00:13:50.660 How long have you been an agriculture commissioner?

00:13:52.600 I'm in my third term, so 11 years.

00:13:55.380 11 years.

00:13:56.080 And what's the biggest changes that you feel you've contributed to agriculture in Texas?

00:14:02.680 Well, we've done a lot of things, and I'll just pick one.

00:14:06.440 This probably affects more people than anybody else.

00:14:09.220 So I'm in charge of nutrition.

00:14:11.780 In that, I've run—

00:14:13.220 How would Bobby Kennedy raid you, make America healthy again?

00:14:16.000 Well—

00:14:16.220 He's got some different ideas on nutrition, right?

00:14:18.540 But they say that agriculture, you know, they say agriculture is the most important part of our health.

00:14:24.760 He says HHS, we cut all Americans being sick and having chronic illness by the food.

00:14:31.980 It's all in the soil.

00:14:32.820 And he's right, and I agree with him.

00:14:34.900 And 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.

00:14:43.220 I mean, that's a big lunchroom, the whole state of Texas.

00:14:46.920 So our schools weren't serving any local products, none.

00:14:50.320 It was all ultra-processed, flash-frozen, added sauce, dyes, preservatives.

00:14:54.900 You know, just instead of having healthy kids, we had healthy trash cans. 1.00

00:14:59.720 It tastes like crap. 0.99

00:15:00.520 No one would eat it. 0.99

00:15:01.800 So I went on this program, the Farm Fresh program, and again, through incentives, not regulation,

00:15:08.600 encouraged schools, at least on Friday, to serve something local and have meat the farmer Friday.

00:15:13.180 So we've expanded from that.

00:15:15.380 Bottom line, last year, our schools bought and served $300 million worth of locally grown products.

00:15:20.660 Very healthy.

00:15:21.440 A lot of it's organic.

00:15:22.800 No added dyes.

00:15:23.620 Do you hope to be of those—is your target that all 5.5 million meals one day will be from Texas product?

00:15:31.120 Texas kids eating Texas agriculture?

00:15:33.300 We're getting close.

00:15:34.240 81% of the schools on a voluntary basis are participating in our program.

00:15:38.380 And Bobby Kennedy picked up on that, and we've become good friends.

00:15:42.180 I'm part of the Maha team.

00:15:43.540 Okay.

00:15:44.140 Talk about that.

00:15:45.340 Well, when we unveiled the new food pyramid, I was there with him.

00:15:49.620 Saw that.

00:15:50.060 And so that was—

00:15:51.940 Did you ever think you'd be up there with a guy named Bobby Kennedy Jr., hardcore as you are, saying I'm part of your team?

00:15:59.580 He's done a hell of a job, though.

00:16:01.540 Do you think that—do you think the part about the agriculture and the Make America Healthy Again, do you think that's just optics?

00:16:08.560 Are you convinced this is real?

00:16:10.700 Oh, this is real.

00:16:12.240 It is real.

00:16:12.980 I mean, we've got to—we spend so much money on health care.

00:16:17.100 I mean, it's climbing.

00:16:19.740 You know, people are—since COVID, people's outlook on the food they eat is a lot different.

00:16:25.060 I call them these COVID moms. 0.99

00:16:26.900 They want to know where the food comes from.

00:16:28.400 They want to know what's in it.

00:16:29.620 They want to know who grew it.

00:16:31.300 Well, that's part of our coalition.

00:16:32.500 That's why Kennedy and people like Tulsa Gabbard added to the thing.

00:16:35.500 Governor Abbott, you—I think you're an ally of Governor Abbott at one time.

00:16:40.240 He's not endorsing you for this race.

00:16:42.460 No, look, and Abbott, I've had enough, but he's—you know, he's ahead of the curve on the Sharia stuff. 0.87

00:16:48.740 What is about the falling out with you and Governor Abbott, and what is—why did he endorse your opponent?

00:16:53.960 Well, I don't think he likes me.

00:16:55.960 Why don't he like you?

00:16:57.360 Well—

00:16:57.680 Just your style?

00:16:58.880 I call him out.

00:16:59.960 Look, my job is to protect agriculture, promote agriculture.

00:17:02.840 So, going back to COVID, he had all these—where he shut down businesses, you know, essential, non-essential business.

00:17:10.180 Well, I had livestock auctions shut down, feed dealers, Western stores.

00:17:14.900 I had to—

00:17:15.280 That must be easy, shutting down livestock auctions in Texas.

00:17:19.800 I'm autonomous.

00:17:20.800 I'm not part of the government.

00:17:21.660 I mean, I have executive power over the ag culture code.

00:17:24.760 So, I said, wait a minute.

00:17:25.900 I'm going to issue my own executive order.

00:17:28.080 Any ag culture business, any ag culture-related business, or any business that supports ag culture, you're essential, and you're to stay open.

00:17:34.400 So, we opened up all the feed, seed, fertilizer dealers, Western stores, florists, landscapers, gun shops.

00:17:41.660 He had them all closed, and that did not set well with him.

00:17:45.220 He couldn't figure out how to deal with it.

00:17:46.920 And 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.

00:17:55.600 And he shut down the border, and we lost $3 billion worth of product rotted on those trucks that backed up.

00:18:02.620 We had 750 Texas-owned trucks in Mexico.

00:18:06.680 Do you think that he was doing that?

00:18:08.080 Do 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?

00:18:14.420 Well, I'll tell you the result, and you can get to decide.

00:18:16.860 Found zero illegal aliens and zero contraband.

00:18:20.260 Nothing in a week's worth.

00:18:21.680 And it cost us $3 billion worth of product.

00:18:23.500 Illegal aliens, there's a big controversy now with Tom Homan, who I'm a big fan of Tom Homan.

00:18:29.160 Tom Homan saying there's unprecedented cooperation in these big cities.

00:18:33.300 And I'm saying, come on, Tom.

00:18:34.680 I mean, the Minnesota fry and these guys laugh at you every day.

00:18:38.400 Hochul in New York and now Spanberger in Virginia have put out decrees, executive orders in the last 24, 48 hours,

00:18:45.200 saying no law enforcement in the Commonwealth of Virginia, no law enforcement in the entire state, will work with ICE at all.

00:18:51.940 Now, one of the big issues in Texas is clearly construction oil field workers and agriculture.

00:18:57.600 Our understanding is that a couple of big raids on the construction things were called off because it would affect business.

00:19:03.260 They couldn't do stuff.

00:19:04.740 What is the situation in Texas with Texas agriculture about really having American citizens as the labor force?

00:19:12.760 Well, I think this is misunderstood.

00:19:14.480 At one time, we used a lot of illegal labor.

00:19:17.340 No doubt about that.

00:19:18.140 Not now, though.

00:19:19.540 We need about 800,000 migrant workers.

00:19:23.060 We have a program called the H-2A program.

00:19:26.320 It's a legal way to get workers up here.

00:19:29.300 We started with 75,000.

00:19:30.940 We worked that up last year to 400,000.

00:19:33.800 We're getting an extra 100,000.

00:19:35.220 So now we've got 500,000 of the 800,000.

00:19:38.000 But the 800,000 is shrinking.

00:19:40.300 The need is dropping.

00:19:41.740 But the technology?

00:19:42.760 Technology.

00:19:43.380 We have cows that milk their cells, unmanned drones that spray our crops.

00:19:48.160 Is that 500,000, are you confident that couldn't be done with American labor if the wages were higher?

00:19:55.160 Well, I'll tell you what.

00:19:55.940 The last thing that a farmer wants to do, let's say a dairyman, he wants to hear that he has to hire an illegal.

00:20:02.880 That's his only option because somebody wakes him up at 4 in the morning and says,

00:20:05.980 Hey, boss, they just picked up all the hands.

00:20:08.200 Who's going to milk the cows? 1.00

00:20:09.480 You don't want to put yourself in that position.

00:20:11.300 Who's going to pick the crops today? 0.91

00:20:13.420 How are we going to get the crops in?

00:20:14.420 All the hands are just, you know, Border Patrol just picked them all up.

00:20:18.080 So, no, they do not want to work illegals. 1.00

00:20:20.740 I mean, sometimes that's the only choice you have.

00:20:23.040 You do what you have to do to, you know, feed the family.

00:20:25.720 But for the most part, we don't work near as many of them as we used to.

00:20:28.360 What would you tell Tom Holman?

00:20:30.000 What'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.

00:20:38.220 It's humane, but it's got to happen.

00:20:40.000 If mass deportations is what the American people are demanding, what would be your recommendation to Holman?

00:20:44.900 Well, I think I'm the least qualified to tell Tom Holman not to do his job.

00:20:48.420 I think he's doing a perfect job.

00:20:50.020 He knows that job better than anybody else.

00:20:52.060 And, Tom, just keep doing what you're doing.

00:20:54.760 You're doing great.

00:20:55.500 I mean, you got my 100 percent approval.

00:20:58.400 Now, you've got a young – I think his name's Sheets, says he's a populist nationalist.

00:21:04.620 He's your competitor this time.

00:21:06.200 What are the differences in policies?

00:21:08.120 Let's leave personality aside, but policies between what he's proposing and what you're proposing?

00:21:13.180 Well, the only time I've disagreed with the president is when he came out and said we need to import more Argentine beef.

00:21:20.600 I said, oh, wait a minute.

00:21:21.860 Let me give you some different ideas.

00:21:23.860 To fix this problem, we need to grow the cattle herd.

00:21:25.940 We need more cattle.

00:21:27.480 This complicates our agriculture trade deficit.

00:21:31.240 It makes it worse.

00:21:32.520 So I said, you know, open up some – Biden kicked all of our ranchers off the grazing land because of cow flaccions and climate change.

00:21:40.720 Is that really the reason they used it?

00:21:42.440 Yeah.

00:21:42.800 So I said, so open those grazing lands.

00:21:44.880 So we've got a place to put our cows so we don't have to send them to slaughter in the drought.

00:21:48.020 Now, Birkin almost immediately opened 5 million acres, so that's good.

00:21:51.960 And I said, put in a heifer retention tax credit.

00:21:55.140 You know, if a farmer keeps a heifer, give him $500 off his taxes.

00:21:58.480 They'll start keeping them and growing the herd, I promise you.

00:22:00.580 Because you're saying you – and particularly in Texas, you want Texas beef and American beef versus either Brazilian or Argentinean.

00:22:07.720 No, we don't need that.

00:22:08.580 No, we – you know, it's not even the same quality.

00:22:11.280 You can't even compare it.

00:22:12.120 So we want the – it's American –

00:22:14.300 Isn't this part of the – this is part of the financial bailout.

00:22:16.500 I know my buddy Scott Besson worked under that.

00:22:18.440 Part of the Argentine thing was help them get cash, generate cash to pay down their –

00:22:22.540 Right.

00:22:22.820 Because the economy is a little – do you think you've stopped that because of your policies?

00:22:27.320 Well, what they did was minuscule.

00:22:30.480 It was less than 2 percent of what we needed.

00:22:32.500 So it really didn't move the needle very much, you know.

00:22:36.100 2 percent of what you needed to get the American beef back up.

00:22:39.040 So it didn't – it might have lowered – and it was only hamburger meat.

00:22:42.100 It didn't change the price of a steak or a roast or anything, you know, the high-quality cuts.

00:22:47.500 But, you know, that's really not – in my vision, America first policy.

00:22:51.560 We need those jobs here. 0.99

00:22:53.120 We need our slaughter plants to process – our trucks, you know, our farmers, you know, and growing the business.

00:22:58.920 So why would Abbott disagree with you on any of these?

00:23:01.320 These are all America first, Texas agriculture first policy.

00:23:04.340 Well, my opponent says that we just need to buy more foreign beef.

00:23:09.040 And I disagree with him on that.

00:23:12.960 My education is in agriculture.

00:23:15.240 He has none.

00:23:16.340 I was an ag teacher and taught FFA and the 4-H and couldn't wait when I turned nine to get into 4-H so I could start showing animals.

00:23:25.900 He was never even – he hadn't lived on a farm.

00:23:28.040 Is this the toughest primary race you think you've had?

00:23:30.560 This is the least qualified person I've ever run against, but he's rich and a hard worker.

00:23:35.200 I'll give him that.

00:23:35.940 He's spending lots of money trying to buy the election.

00:23:38.060 But he's really unqualified because he's never lived on a farm.

00:23:42.940 He said that FFA didn't teach kids anything about agriculture.

00:23:46.800 I mean, the guy's just clueless.

00:23:48.660 You're a big supporter of Future Farmers of America?

00:23:51.280 Oh, yeah.

00:23:51.980 It's the best – it actually teaches leadership too.

00:23:55.700 That's where we get some of our best leaders is through – Brooke Rollins, the secretary of ag health, has got her start in FFA.

00:24:01.480 She talks about it all the time.

00:24:02.600 We've got a couple of minutes left.

00:24:04.280 One of the reasons that we've moved the show here is this whole issue on Prop 10 on the ballot about Sharia law.

00:24:10.340 You're 70 years old.

00:24:12.560 You've lived here your entire life.

00:24:13.980 You're a native Texan.

00:24:15.520 Your observations about the situation of Sharia law in Texas right now?

00:24:20.720 Well, 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.

00:24:31.640 Why did you do that so early?

00:24:33.500 I could just see it.

00:24:34.680 I mean, you see it up here in Dallas.

00:24:36.300 It's Epic City or Meadows, whatever they call it now.

00:24:39.500 They come in here.

00:24:41.000 They want to assimilate. 0.96

00:24:42.080 They want to install Sharia law. 0.84

00:24:44.160 It's not a religious freedom.

00:24:45.580 This is a government takeover.

00:24:46.900 I mean, look at France and Germany.

00:24:49.680 Look at Sweden.

00:24:50.940 Don't even talk about Britain.

00:24:52.560 The backbone of the state are ranchers and farmers.

00:24:55.020 Where do they stand on this issue?

00:24:56.740 They're with me.

00:24:57.500 I mean, we've got to stop this before we end up like London or someplace like that.

00:25:02.800 They come in and just eventually take over.

00:25:05.400 And, 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. 0.97

00:25:13.940 We've got a minute.

00:25:14.560 Why in October did you come out and say they've got to be designated terrorist organizations?

00:25:18.460 Even the president has them.

00:25:19.480 I mean, he's done it in Jordan and Syria, but he hasn't done it overall.

00:25:23.900 Why did Sid Miller, the agriculture commissioner in Texas, why did you come out in October and say this?

00:25:28.920 Well, I just see how dangerous this is.

00:25:30.680 I mean, it's real.

00:25:32.260 I mean, we need to take this seriously because everything they do, it's against our Constitution.

00:25:37.580 It's against our founding fathers.

00:25:39.040 It's against our Judeo-Christian values.

00:25:41.220 I mean, it's just what they want to do is just destroy us.

00:25:44.660 And the ranchers and farmers are with us on this, do you think?

00:25:46.720 I think so.

00:25:47.120 Oh, yeah.

00:25:47.820 Proposition 10 to prohibit Sharia law in Texas, you support? 0.83

00:25:51.500 It'll pass with 95-plus percent.

00:25:54.100 Sid, where do people go for social media to find out how you're doing as Air Corps commissioner, and what's your campaign site?

00:25:59.900 So social media is Miller4Texas, F-O-R, Miller4Texas.

00:26:04.340 My website is SidMiller.com.

00:26:06.680 It's a real hard one to remember.

00:26:08.180 Thank you, brother.

00:26:08.900 Thank you.

00:26:10.020 By 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.

00:26:18.480 I know the president thinks very highly of you, so thank you so much.

00:26:21.420 We 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.

00:26:32.860 Back in a moment.

00:31:36.340 Are you prepared to fight for this state?

00:31:39.100 Are you prepared to fight for your country?

00:31:44.740 John Guandola joins us, a former FBI, also military, been training about folks in D.C.

00:31:51.980 That'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. 0.99

00:32:01.440 John, we just had Sid Miller on, who's agriculture commissioner, and running again in a very tightly fought race.

00:32:10.080 He 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.

00:32:22.880 Now, how we get, and he says because, hey, the ranchers and farmers here are talking about it all the time.

00:32:29.700 One 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.

00:32:41.340 And people like Sid, a couple of months, getting far ahead of this and saying, hey, they've got to be designated terrorist organizations.

00:32:47.400 What are your thoughts?

00:32:48.260 You 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.

00:32:56.480 Arizona, Oklahoma, Arkansas, South Carolina.

00:32:59.420 And 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.

00:33:10.500 He says it has to be done.

00:33:12.160 And 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.

00:33:27.820 And she had like a 20 point lead on him at one time. 0.99

00:33:31.460 Do you think we've actually provided a permission structure for people to start to talk about this?

00:33:36.020 Because when I first met you in D.C., there was no permission structure to do that.

00:33:41.400 In 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.

00:33:57.820 So, yes, and thanks for having me on again, Steve.

00:34:01.060 Yes, 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.

00:34:21.200 It'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.

00:34:38.160 We've been audited by the IRS, we've been sued, all these things, and now it's being talked about.

00:34:49.120 So, 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.

00:35:02.720 I think focusing the effort first on the Muslim Brotherhood is a very good thing because they drive much of the structure. 0.99

00:35:14.280 I 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.

00:35:28.580 And 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.

00:35:44.820 It's happening everywhere, and it has to be addressed.

00:35:50.160 And certainly speaking about it is the first step.

00:35:53.200 Why does it seem like it's everywhere all at once?

00:35:58.800 I 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.

00:36:10.300 They're fully dedicated to one proposition in March on the ballot, and that is to prohibit Sharia law in the state of Texas.

00:36:17.960 But 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.

00:36:28.100 I've never seen a galvanizing issue come together so quickly about this, but I'm seeing it in other states, too.

00:36:34.400 People are coming to me all the time and saying, we have to do this in North Carolina.

00:36:37.460 We have to do this in Oklahoma.

00:36:39.280 We have to do it particularly in Arizona.

00:36:40.900 People are coming.

00:36:43.160 Why 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?

00:36:50.860 Because 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? 0.50

00:37:04.220 Because when I knew you, a lot of it was about infiltration into the federal government, infiltration into the intelligence services, infiltration into law enforcement.

00:37:12.700 And 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.

00:37:28.680 I had literally a face plant when I tried to drive the designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.

00:37:35.880 The entire apparatus, particularly the State Department, the Pentagon was terrible.

00:37:40.520 The intelligence services were worse.

00:37:42.300 So these guys just provide hospitals and schools and they're really our allies throughout the world.

00:37:48.320 I'm sitting there going, what are you talking about?

00:37:50.260 But you couldn't make any traction at all.

00:37:52.160 Why 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? 0.79

00:38:09.460 So this is a, I mean, this is the question.

00:38:12.580 So it might be helpful for your audience to lay a couple markers on the ground.

00:38:17.780 First of all, everything they do is about Sharia, the global Islamic movement. 0.81

00:38:23.040 It's the stated purpose of Islam is to impose Allah's divine law, Sharia on the earth. 1.00

00:38:28.460 That's it.

00:38:30.100 But the modus operandi of these movements, the Muslim Brotherhood being the leading movement.

00:38:35.840 But in the United States, we also have the Hezbollah Iranian elements and a very large movement there.

00:38:44.020 The Dio Bandis, Tabliki Jamaat, Jamaati Islami, these other elements.

00:38:48.940 The thing that I'm very concerned about is there are a lot of people talking about we need to ban Sharia.

00:38:58.200 We need to ban the Muslim Brotherhood. 1.00

00:39:00.320 But 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. 0.87

00:39:15.840 And that's the end of the understanding.

00:39:18.860 This is a war that's primarily being fought in the information battle space.

00:39:23.400 So 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. 0.85

00:39:35.900 So the problem is Islam. 1.00

00:39:37.060 Right. 0.97

00:39:37.820 Yeah.

00:39:38.560 So saying that 25, 20, 15 years ago was not a popular thing.

00:39:44.480 But 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.

00:40:01.900 They you'll know everything about Sharia when you're under it. 0.99

00:40:05.520 That's their perspective.

00:40:06.480 And 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.

00:40:15.680 And 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. 0.96

00:40:32.780 Now, I don't necessarily believe that.

00:40:34.560 I don't believe that, but we have to understand they're in the end game.

00:40:40.660 And just now, Americans and our leaders are waking up that, hey, this might be a problem.

00:40:47.320 Because 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.

00:41:02.120 But 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. 0.98

00:41:20.340 So our understanding of this is still at a very, in my opinion, a very shallow depth.

00:41:30.340 And 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.

00:41:45.140 And that's the danger.

00:41:46.280 And I'll just share this quick story.

00:41:47.740 Full stop.

00:41:48.800 Give me an example.

00:41:49.740 I need to know that because people are saying, hey, I'm reading the books.

00:41:54.980 I'm going online to what John puts out.

00:41:58.520 I'm teaching myself.

00:41:59.960 I want to go part of the thing in the conference today.

00:42:02.820 One was workshops on what we're doing, on what the grassroots are doing to lead to 3 March.

00:42:08.220 Which 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.

00:42:16.480 Why do you say citizens right now are better trained than leaders at the state or federal level?

00:42:22.240 That would come as a pretty big shock to folks.

00:42:25.480 Out of necessity, because they've recognized their leaders aren't doing it.

00:42:30.780 But 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.

00:42:52.140 Did you know this information?

00:42:53.800 So this is about Sharia, about the Muslim Brotherhood Network, and how they actually operate.

00:42:59.960 Did you know this information before you came in?

00:43:04.100 No.

00:43:04.980 100% have said, no, we did not know this.

00:43:07.740 And this includes FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force agents and officers.

00:43:12.680 It includes DHS.

00:43:14.940 Name it.

00:43:16.800 But when I asked the second question, do you believe this is critical to protecting your community?

00:43:22.040 100% say yes.

00:43:23.460 Whereas 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.

00:43:37.800 Of 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.

00:43:56.100 And that's the difference, is the way this war works.

00:44:03.380 You just said it.

00:44:04.580 When 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.

00:44:19.580 They'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.

00:44:36.200 So we've been looking, we have this narrative that there are these competing versions of Islam, and this was true under Bush. 0.98

00:44:47.880 So what America needs to do is get the good Muslims to help us understand the bad Muslims, except there's only one Islam. 1.00

00:44:55.380 There's one Sharia, and that's it. 1.00

00:44:57.860 So are there Muslims who don't want to adhere to Sharia and wage jihad? 1.00

00:45:02.800 Yes, but what they believe doesn't constitute a different version of Islam. 1.00

00:45:07.900 They're just outliers, and according to Sharia, they're apostates, and they should be killed. 1.00

00:45:13.520 And 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. 0.99

00:45:31.080 And 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. 0.79

00:45:44.100 They're hostile. 0.68

00:45:44.900 They're jihadis in suits claiming to be nice people and presenting a very friendly image when, in fact, they're not. 0.78

00:45:53.140 And that's why I say this is much more a counterintelligence, espionage, and subversive movement because they're still doing it.

00:46:01.880 They're in this administration doing it, and it creates havoc because you have what appears to be competing versions of Islam, 1.00

00:46:11.460 and 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.

00:46:22.340 It's all based on Sharia. 0.99

00:46:24.260 And so just because they don't advance Sharia at the same level, well, that's part of jihad. 0.96

00:46:34.020 You can only go as far and as fast as you're able to do without losing too many members of the Islamic community who don't get it,

00:46:42.820 and so there's a requirement to educate the Muslim population.

00:46:46.480 And you can't go so fast in advancing the jihad that you expose your hand to the non-Muslims on what you're actually doing. 0.99

00:46:55.900 And a great, you know, there are so many examples of this, but we have to understand that you have to understand based on Sharia.

00:47:06.880 That's how they make their decisions.

00:47:08.740 It's a blueprint for how they wage war. 0.77

00:47:11.440 And deception is at the center of all of this.

00:47:14.440 And so when you have, there is, you know, just like we've talked about before on your show, Steve,

00:47:22.240 Mr. Trump invited a Hezbollah guy to his first, to this past inauguration.

00:47:27.880 And I was able to inform some people who had an inroad to the administration to kick that guy out, Imam Hussaini. 0.78

00:47:36.640 And then they were going to replace him with another guy who I then provided information on who's also a bad guy.

00:47:45.760 At the national level, there is not one Muslim working at that level who's not hostile, not one. 1.00

00:47:53.800 And we can go down the list by name.

00:47:55.820 We did it before when people were like, well, we're going to bring this guy as Az Sultan into the first Trump administration.

00:48:03.340 And I was able to demonstrate he's a jihadi.

00:48:06.760 And Mike Flynn walked him out of the building.

00:48:09.640 But there is, you're not, at that level, you're not going to get somebody who's not hostile.

00:48:16.540 And this is the problem is we keep looking for the good ones.

00:48:20.060 And at that level, the information campaign and the information battle is so strong that they make sure that the target is the leadership.

00:48:31.020 The higher up in the chain, the more they're going to make sure that information is not getting to them.

00:48:36.960 Whereas the people down at the ground level are still doing their due diligence and getting to them.

00:48:44.680 And 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?

00:48:57.380 Nobody.

00:48:58.300 How was the vetting process changed in this administration?

00:49:02.260 It wasn't.

00:49:03.120 And 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.

00:49:15.420 And they do it by building relations.

00:49:17.240 I mean, you got Jared Kushner chastising people like me for going after Qatar and Turkey and Saudi Arabia and how wonderful they are.

00:49:27.760 So he's literally carrying the water for these hostile jihadi states who are at the front end of the global Islamic movement. 0.99

00:49:37.220 That's because he's a target of these hostile information operations.

00:49:43.240 John, we got to bounce, but I need people to go to your site.

00:49:45.680 You're working on a book that I think is going to be a major magnum opus about this entire area.

00:49:50.640 But you've got tons of information up on your site, training courses, social media.

00:49:54.480 Where do people go?

00:49:55.140 JohnGuandolo.com.

00:49:58.120 And 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. 0.56

00:50:17.580 Look forward to seeing that.

00:50:18.540 Social media, where do they go, John?

00:50:20.120 Jay Guandolo, 54271.

00:50:24.100 But if you just search Jay Guandolo, you'll find me on X.

00:50:29.240 Thank you, brother.

00:50:30.000 Appreciate it.

00:50:30.420 I look forward to having you back on and maybe one day in studio.

00:50:34.040 Thank you.

00:50:34.560 A real warrior.

00:50:35.040 We're coming out with a battle plan on how we win.

00:50:37.420 First step, go to the polls, the primary on March 3rd or early voting starts the 17th.

00:50:46.040 Make sure that you vote Proposition 10 to prohibit Sharia law in the state of Texas, Prop 10. 0.92

00:50:51.320 I want to thank Patriot Mobile.

00:50:53.640 Call 972-PATRIOT.

00:50:55.700 This is a company.

00:50:56.380 By the way, when you call, you're going to talk to an American citizen, as the company says, maybe with an East Texas accent.

00:51:02.700 Make sure you talk to the customer service, best customer service around.

00:51:05.540 They will tell you all the benefits of going to Patriot Mobile.

00:51:10.080 I think the best mobile service in the world, but also a company that supports your values, your Christian values.

00:51:17.600 It's a Christian company led by some of the best people around, Glenn and Jenny Story.

00:51:23.360 I 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.

00:51:37.620 Really pretty impressive what they've pulled together.

00:51:40.080 Giving a permission structure to people to talk about the Sharia law in the state of Texas.

00:51:45.580 And as Sid said today, hopefully we're going to win with a 95% margin, but we'll take any victory.

00:51:51.400 We need a huge turnout.

00:51:52.640 Also want to thank the folks at Birch Gold, our other sponsor.

00:51:56.120 Physical Gold has been bouncing all over the place.

00:51:58.620 When we first started doing the end of the dollar empire, I think gold was $1,100 an ounce.

00:52:03.360 Got up to $5,500 the other day.

00:52:04.920 Bounced around, back around $5,000 right now.

00:52:07.300 Now, 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.

00:52:15.120 But don't take it from me.

00:52:16.060 It ain't the price.

00:52:16.780 It's the process.

00:52:17.980 Talk to Philip Patrick and the team at Birch Gold.

00:52:21.520 Birchgold.com, promo code Bannon, end of the dollar empire.

00:52:24.220 You'll get right to them.
