00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:17.140 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:22.460 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:26.700 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:00:28.620 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:00:30.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:00:32.740 It's going to happen.
00:00:34.020 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:00:37.400 Mega Media.
00:00:38.740 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:44.160 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:47.960 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:54.140 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:00:57.520 Tuesday, 10 March, April, or 2026, we spent a lot of time down in Texas and intended to spend a lot more time down in Texas, particularly on this runoff.
00:01:13.180 And other issues related to Proposition 10.
00:01:16.660 Proposition 10 was prohibiting Sharia law in the state of Texas, and it got almost 2 million votes passed with or was approved by over 90 percent, roughly 95 percent of the Republican participants in that.
00:01:31.660 And there's a lot more going on about getting very focused on Governor Abbott saying designate the Muslim Brotherhood in care as terrorist organizations.
00:01:42.440 Also about having hearings to tee up a special session to make sure that we can get all activity and action and backs of Proposition 10 and also the issue of the Muslim Brotherhood in care.
00:01:57.380 We're going to have Dr. Julie Pickering on, a little later in the show, go through a massive issue that is confronting people right now in Texas about education.
00:02:05.800 So we're going to get to all that momentarily.
00:02:08.240 CPAC is 25th, 25 to 28 March.
00:02:11.420 It's taking place in the exact Gaylord Hotel that we had to kick off on January 9th with Gert Velders, Glenn Beck, myself, Grant Stinchcombe, and others.
00:02:24.420 And Grant did a great job.
00:02:25.480 He was the master of ceremonies and really made that thing hum, along with the Patriot Mobile team, particularly Glenn and Jenny Story, and many others.
00:02:37.160 Karen Seaman, Frank Gaffney, the people who pulled it off, and all the grassroots in Texas that really got back this and made it work.
00:02:43.540 $17 is the price.
00:02:45.520 Special deal.
00:02:47.640 Now, I understand, Moe and Grace, that some War and Posse members have already bought tickets at the other price, the higher price.
00:02:53.320 Anybody in the War Room Posse that bought it at a higher price, just get to Moe and Grace in the chats, and we will make sure that the War Room will make sure that we compensate you so you're paying the $17 price.
00:03:07.100 So $17.
00:03:09.020 The place is going to be packed.
00:03:10.380 Amazing speakers, breakout sessions all over.
00:03:12.600 Of course, the War Room is going to be the Real America's Voice.
00:03:15.980 Patriot Mobile, it's going to be fantastic.
00:03:18.060 $17.
00:03:18.420 So if you're in the Texas, particularly Texas and Oklahoma or in North Texas, be there, and there are going to be many, particularly we're going to do a breakout session about Proposition 10 and about this situation with this Islamic invasion of Texas.
00:03:33.900 Because remember, Texas is the jewel of the crown in our union.
00:03:38.380 Okay, we're absolutely packed in the second hour.
00:03:40.800 We got, you know, so Neil McCabe.
00:03:42.180 Neil, you did a fantastic job.
00:03:43.700 You're up on Capitol Hill.
00:03:45.320 An incredibly important hearing today, and there's so much going on.
00:03:48.000 I wanted to cover it live and stream it.
00:03:50.620 We couldn't get to it.
00:03:52.560 Senator Eric Schmidt and others talking about the 14th Amendment and birthright citizenship, particularly on a day that was leaked out of the White House that certain elements over there don't want to talk about mass deportation.
00:04:04.860 Mike Howe with the Mass Deportation Coalition is going to be with us here momentarily.
00:04:09.380 But talk to me.
00:04:10.060 Tee up this interview you did.
00:04:11.460 Then we're going to play the interview.
00:04:12.340 Yeah, so Eric Schmidt, of course, is part of that Missouri conservative lawyer mafia that really boxes above its weight class here in Washington.
00:04:23.440 And, you know, you talk about a lot of them.
00:04:26.400 You have Hawley.
00:04:27.100 You have Bailey at the FBI.
00:04:28.300 John Sauer, Solicitor General.
00:04:29.560 So Eric Schmidt is part of that group, and he's really taking leadership on birthright citizenship, not just because of the idea that people are using gaming the system, but also because of stuff that Peter Schweitzer discovered for his book Invisible Coup, where you have so much Chinese tourism, birthright tourism, that you have maybe 1.5 million Chinese living in China.
00:04:54.800 But American citizens who can vote in our elections, and remember, overseas voters, they can pick what precinct they want to vote in.
00:05:02.840 You can literally have a million Chinese votes pouring into a single precinct.
00:05:06.560 Hang on.
00:05:08.940 Because of this, Schweitzer, this book, four weeks, five weeks, New York Times number one bestseller, Peter, years of research on this, I want you to repeat that, 1.5 million, because of this birth tourism, 1.5 million are living back in mainland China.
00:05:28.300 They're Manchurian voters.
00:05:30.020 They're living in China, and they're eligible to vote here.
00:05:34.020 Neil, how outrageous is that?
00:05:36.560 Well, it's incredibly outrageous.
00:05:38.100 And consider that they were doing it for Hong Kong citizenship, and the Chinese government shut it down in 2013 because they know the game.
00:05:47.160 There are hundreds of businesses in Southern California who do this.
00:05:51.360 Now, on the books, it's illegal to come to the United States for this kind of, you know, if you're pregnant, you come to the United States just to give birth for this citizenship.
00:06:00.320 That's illegal.
00:06:01.460 But who can police this?
00:06:02.840 And it's rife with visa fraud and everything else.
00:06:06.020 And there's millions of dollars being made.
00:06:08.260 And so Schmidt had this hearing today to basically lock down legal and constitutional arguments and then bring in Schweitzer to talk about the practical dangers to our democracy and national security, Steve.
00:06:21.580 Okay, let's go ahead and go to your interview, and then I want to come back for your observation.
00:06:27.100 Mike Howell's on deck, and I wanted Mike, I wanted to play this before Mike to get his observations on this, too.
00:06:32.300 Let's go ahead and play it.
00:06:33.000 This is Real America's Voice national political reporter Neil W. McCabe, and joining us is Missouri Republican Senator Eric Schmidt.
00:06:41.220 Senator, thank you for joining us on RAV.
00:06:43.540 It's great to be with you.
00:06:44.680 You held a hearing today.
00:06:47.040 You're the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee on the Constitution.
00:06:53.060 Your hearing was on birthright citizenship with a specific focus on illegal aliens and tourists.
00:07:00.160 What was the purpose of this hearing, sir?
00:07:01.980 Well, I think it sets the stage for what's coming next month.
00:07:06.620 You've got oral arguments on the big birthright citizenship case.
00:07:10.680 John Sauer, who's my former Solicitor General, will be arguing that, and a lot of briefs have been submitted on that front.
00:07:17.220 And I think it does a couple things.
00:07:18.780 It sets the stage for the case.
00:07:21.280 It raises the profile of the issue, which I don't think we talk enough about in this country, especially now that we're celebrating America 250.
00:07:29.000 What does citizenship mean?
00:07:30.820 I mean, it's kind of a fundamental question for a sovereign country.
00:07:33.940 And what we've seen over the years is that being degraded in some ways by allowing the abuse that we've seen.
00:07:41.460 You know, this idea, as Peter Schweitzer testified, you know, there's a million and a half people living in China right now that were born in the United States that are sort of Manchurian citizens that could theoretically vote in this country.
00:07:56.880 I mean, this is the kind of, you know, sort of tourism that we've seen.
00:08:01.940 It's being marketed around the world where in your last weeks of your pregnancy, come here, have your child in the United States and leave.
00:08:09.180 I mean, this is a real abuse that I think highlights the flaws with the arguments that have been presented by the other side.
00:08:14.420 You've submitted an amicus brief for that case that's before the Supreme Court.
00:08:20.840 The ruling sort of document or case now is the Wong Kim Ark case that was ruled in 1898.
00:08:30.600 What are the flaws with that case?
00:08:33.520 Well, I think, look, the original public, I think what the case comes down to is, is the court going to recognize the original public meaning of the jurisdictional argument about what does that mean?
00:08:44.460 Of course it means, the original meaning of that was that there was some sort of loyalty to the United States.
00:08:49.460 It didn't mean that if you were here as an ambassador and had a child, that your child was then an American citizen.
00:08:55.920 That's never what it meant, and the drafters of the 14th Amendment were pretty clear about that.
00:09:00.840 So I think that, you know, if you take a sort of an originalist or textualist view of the 14th Amendment and how this came about,
00:09:06.540 which was meant to bestow citizenship on the children of slaves who were, you know, recently emancipated,
00:09:13.080 you can't come to the conclusion that the system that we have now was intended.
00:09:18.020 And finally, the president put out an executive order on birthright citizenship.
00:09:23.160 Is there a chance that we could see Congress codify that, sir?
00:09:27.460 I would hope so.
00:09:28.740 I would hope so.
00:09:29.700 I think that's something we should move forward on.
00:09:31.480 I think that this is a, we'll see what the court does.
00:09:35.320 The 14th Amendment, I think, kind of makes it clear.
00:09:38.900 So I think probably after the disposition of that case, we'll know a lot more.
00:09:43.560 And we wouldn't want to undermine, I don't think, any of the arguments, because I think right now that is the case, right?
00:09:48.100 That this current interpretation of birthright citizenship is countered to the original public meaning of the 14th Amendment.
00:09:54.860 But I do think highlighting these issues and the actual abuse, which is the point of the hearing that we had earlier today.
00:10:01.000 Senator Schmidt, thank you for joining us on Real America's Voice.
00:10:03.960 Anytime.
00:10:07.700 You're right, Neil.
00:10:08.600 I mean, the great state of Missouri, you have delivered.
00:10:11.580 I mean, Schmidt, that's a fighter.
00:10:13.820 Hawley, Sauer, the deputy director of the FBI.
00:10:16.460 It's incredible.
00:10:17.440 What's your takeaway?
00:10:18.440 We're trying to get to Peter on tomorrow.
00:10:20.120 This book, I keep saying, is a must read.
00:10:22.560 The shocking developments, how our enemies, not our friends, how our enemies have used our immigration law and mass migration to try to destroy us internally.
00:10:34.040 And every page is a revelation.
00:10:35.640 His testimony today was also electric up there, if you listen to it.
00:10:41.100 And, of course, the Democrats don't want to listen to it.
00:10:43.240 What was your takeaway from the Schmidt interview, Neil?
00:10:46.460 Yeah, I thought that the senator absolutely nailed it.
00:10:49.780 He's right on.
00:10:50.540 This wasn't just performative.
00:10:52.860 This is actual dealing with legal arguments, constitutional arguments, the practical dangers,
00:10:59.300 so that people who paid attention to this could then become centers of influence in their communities.
00:11:05.900 And they could talk about this so that you have sort of informed MAGA voters who can then call their congressmen and their senators and get involved in this.
00:11:14.200 Because I didn't understand the scale of it until I heard Schweitzer talking.
00:11:18.360 And it's not just China.
00:11:19.780 It's Russia.
00:11:20.400 It's Turkey.
00:11:20.980 It's Nigeria.
00:11:21.740 It's Brazil.
00:11:22.680 It's a whole program to basically undermine the United States and American citizens using our own constitution against us.
00:11:33.740 Neil, social media, where do people track your reporting?
00:11:36.700 Steve, you can find me at all the socials at Reporter McCabe.
00:11:41.960 Thanks for having me on.
00:11:44.580 Neil, thanks.
00:11:45.440 Great interview.
00:11:46.800 Mike Howell joins us.
00:11:47.780 And, Mike, just so the audience knows, you're doing this.
00:11:50.940 You've got a baby that could come any moment.
00:11:54.080 So I really appreciate you doing this.
00:11:55.700 And we got it for this story in Axios.
00:11:58.060 But I've got to ask you because you've been one of the great fighters in this whole thing, this 14th Amendment, what's coming up, Senator Schmidt, Schweitzer's testimony today, 1.5 million babies born here in the United States on this tourism that live in the mainland China under the auspices or under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party that can vote when they're eligible can vote in the United States of America.
00:12:25.140 The 14th Amendment, sir, your thoughts?
00:12:28.060 Yeah, I think the Constitution is pretty clear.
00:12:30.160 And the interpretation that comes out of that court case is obviously absurd.
00:12:33.760 It's so stupid that obviously our enemies have taken great advantage of it.
00:12:37.300 And not just, you know, the horde storming over the borders, but, you know, real sophisticated plans by China and the like.
00:12:43.300 And what Peter put out in his book is just jaw dropping.
00:12:46.340 But what really upsets me the most about it is the fact that he got a lot of that data from China because China is keeping track of how much they're taking advantage of us.
00:12:55.940 And the U.S. government's not even really housing all this data in one place.
00:12:59.700 So as a country, we're not taking it seriously.
00:13:02.200 But they the enemies certainly are.
00:13:04.800 And the implications are dire.
00:13:07.060 Obviously, if things heat up with China, the fact that they have such a large political constituency, like spread out through the country with citizenships, a major national security problem.
00:13:16.200 Mike, far be it for me to say that the clips of somebody who's watching live when you were on about your new mass deportation coalition and particularly the momentum.
00:13:27.820 I've never seen really a launch of a new entity that has as much heat and backwards.
00:13:34.000 President Trump would say you're hot.
00:13:35.900 And then we get this story this afternoon and from Caputo.
00:13:40.060 I mean, he's he's the one that he's the most dialed in reporter about the White House when they actually want to put something out.
00:13:45.720 They went they go there and this actually had Blair's name on it.
00:13:49.460 It wasn't like they were hiding it.
00:13:50.560 So the story that broke after Hal was on the show this morning to talk about the mass deportation coalition is James Blair, who's the political director of the White House.
00:14:00.120 They had a meeting, I guess, down at the conference they had where the president talked yesterday that we covered live.
00:14:07.260 I think it was a couple of day conference.
00:14:08.780 And I think they actually had some meetings where they said the one thing they don't want to talk about anymore until after the midterms is mass deportation.
00:14:15.720 Now, does that make any sense at all?
00:14:18.400 Mass deportations.
00:14:19.800 It's about saving the country from, I don't know, the 13, 15, 17, 20, 25 million that Biden basically brought in here on his watch.
00:14:28.020 It's one of the it's one of the central issues that we won.
00:14:32.280 The 2024 election really blew out everything.
00:14:35.680 Does it make sense to do that?
00:14:37.200 I mean, you've put together this coalition and you kind of put it together for a reason because you weren't I think you kind of felt and a lot of people did that there was appropriate focus on the bad hombres.
00:14:48.940 But what we have here is a problem that's much deeper than the bad hombres, sir.
00:14:52.840 Yeah, so there are no coincidences in Washington, D.C. or in politics generally.
00:14:59.040 We launched this thing.
00:15:00.400 It's got tremendous momentum.
00:15:02.240 A lot of big players coming together.
00:15:04.720 There's a playbook coming out exactly how to get to one million deportations up from the couple hundred thousand of last year.
00:15:10.540 And the response has been telling and it confirms why we did this in the first place.
00:15:15.060 It's because the special interests, the pollsters, the consultants and the rhinos don't want mass deportations.
00:15:21.060 We've known that for a long time.
00:15:22.760 I think Trump knew that when he came down the golden escalator 10 years ago as well and returned the party back to the hands of the working class and the America First movement.
00:15:31.160 But right now, the special interests are trying to take it back.
00:15:33.820 I mean, that's obvious in a lot of different fields, but it's most obvious in deportation.
00:15:37.980 And so as soon as we started poking our head out and really sounding the alarm and the posse has been great on this, there was a reaction.
00:15:45.240 The first, you see the Main Street Caucus, which are all the Rhino Chamber of Commerce Republicans.
00:15:49.400 They put out a letter trying to box Mullen in saying, please don't deport anybody else.
00:15:53.920 Only like this limited small population of criminals, which, by the way, is Biden-Obama policy.
00:15:59.640 And I don't think the president wants to do that.
00:16:01.380 But then today, down at their big meeting with the House Republicans, the White House, and keep in mind, this is not President Trump.
00:16:07.980 This is the White House political director, James Blair, gave what I'll call terrible political advice.
00:16:13.680 And he told them, don't talk about mass deportations, as Axios reported.
00:16:17.440 Here's why it's terrible political advice, is because mass deportations are insanely popular.
00:16:22.700 Proof of that is the 2024 election, where it was Trump's central campaign promise, and he won on it.
00:16:29.520 Now, poll after poll shows that it remains popular.
00:16:32.420 There's growing in popularity.
00:16:34.340 But here's the rub.
00:16:35.620 The people who fund the campaigns, the donors, the major donors, the special interests, and then the consultants and the pollsters who work for them, they don't like mass deportations because they like their cheap labor.
00:16:47.380 And so you have this split within the party of the top verse, the middle, and the bottom.
00:16:51.600 And that's what we're fighting against.
00:16:53.360 That's why we launched the Mass Deportation Coalition.
00:16:56.420 We want the administration to win.
00:16:59.140 If they back away from the president's chief campaign promise, they're just not going to win.
00:17:03.960 And so that's why we're doing this.
00:17:05.720 We've got a country to save.
00:17:06.960 And handing that power back to the Democrats is just going to make it worse.
00:17:10.720 And I don't care what the Chamber of Commerce or special interests say.
00:17:14.540 I don't care what the sanctuary farms or factories or industrial hubs think.
00:17:19.660 They've got to go.
00:17:20.500 If millions must go, then millions must go.
00:17:23.480 It's what Trump promised.
00:17:24.920 And he's got to talk about keeping his promises on the campaign trail if the base is to turn out.
00:17:30.780 That's what we've got going on right now.
00:17:32.520 That's what we intend to do.
00:17:36.060 The left understands that this is a turnout election, a base turnout election.
00:17:41.140 And they did a strong job in this primary down in Texas where I think they hit presidential cycle levels.
00:17:47.460 And they're not playing for moderates.
00:17:49.280 They're not playing to Republicans.
00:17:52.220 There's always going to be some people disgruntled.
00:17:54.300 They're going to their base and expanding their base.
00:17:57.000 This midterm election is going to be a base turnout election.
00:17:59.660 And we have a massive base that will turn out.
00:18:02.280 But one of the things you have to hit the mark on, and I take it I'm hearing that you guys and others are going to be putting out some polling in the next couple of days.
00:18:09.380 But this is enormously popular with the base.
00:18:11.660 Why is it popular with the base?
00:18:12.720 They understand we're losing the country, that you can't allow 15, 20 million people into the country that are here illegally.
00:18:20.440 It destroys the medical service system.
00:18:22.900 It destroys the education system.
00:18:24.680 It destroys the criminal justice system.
00:18:26.800 This is why these cities are hellholes right now, particularly sanctuary cities.
00:18:31.060 This has to happen.
00:18:32.220 We really don't have a choice, do we, Mike?
00:18:35.720 No, no, we don't.
00:18:36.760 And the base absolutely gets that.
00:18:39.400 And it's why, when President Trump promised it on the campaign trail, they went nuts and they showed up in record numbers for him.
00:18:44.720 But ultimately what this is about is returning the realignment to pre-Trump times.
00:18:50.380 The money interest in the party want to take it back and give it to the Bushies of the world.
00:18:55.600 And we're not going to let that happen.
00:18:57.520 You know, this realignment needs to stick.
00:19:00.220 It needs to be, see enduring wins on really bold campaign promises.
00:19:05.060 And that's what the mass deportation campaign promise was.
00:19:08.020 And all these people, like the Republicans that, by the way, are still getting President Trump's endorsement, that are now speaking out and undermining that campaign promise and pushing for the White House to walk it back, are doing that because they know it'll destroy the America First movement and take us back to where we're just not going to go.
00:19:24.020 The Democrats know that.
00:19:25.300 That's why they're driving out and going towards their base.
00:19:27.240 And instead we're seeing, you know, a lot of the political attention out of this White House and, you know, the big, you know, funders of the election trying to focus on this really small subset of, you know, your swing district, quote unquote, moderate Republican.
00:19:42.060 We're just leftists with an R next to their name.
00:19:44.760 And that's what they want because they know if they can do that, they can stop the Department of Homeland Security from actually executing on the agenda.
00:19:51.560 And that'll protect, you know, the cheap labor and all the sorts of things that they depend on.
00:19:57.240 Mike, how, where do people go to find out more about your mass deportation coalition, sir?
00:20:04.260 Yeah, we're on X at Phase 2 Deport.
00:20:06.520 That's because it's time to go to Phase 2.
00:20:08.460 Phase 1 was just the criminals.
00:20:10.080 Sure, we got the bad hombres out.
00:20:11.540 Now's the time to make good on the promise.
00:20:13.160 Or check us out at massdeportation.com.
00:20:15.940 Pretty simple.
00:20:18.820 And Mike, thank you.
00:20:19.860 And thank you so much given the care and focus you have to have on your family.
00:20:26.040 Really appreciate you coming on today.
00:20:28.480 All right.
00:20:28.640 Thanks for having me.
00:20:31.360 Like Mike said, there are no coincidences.
00:20:33.700 That was dropped right after Hal's performance here this morning, which is incredible.
00:20:41.160 I've never seen anything take off like this because people want to come together around a new entity that's going to focus on mass deportations.
00:20:48.340 Dr. Julie Pickren.
00:20:50.180 So, Julie, I'm going to hold, I'm going to play this tape in just a second.
00:20:53.920 It's four minutes, so I want to do that.
00:20:55.340 I'm going to play the tape and take it in, but we've got about a minute and a half before I play it.
00:20:59.680 Explain what we're about, who you are, what's your position, and what are we about to see?
00:21:04.020 Yeah, so I'm elected to the Texas State Board of Education.
00:21:08.820 I represent 12 counties, about 10,000 square miles of Texas.
00:21:11.620 I have about 2 million constituents.
00:21:13.780 And what you're about to see is CARE, the Council on American Islamic Relations, has come before the Texas State Board of Education three times now.
00:21:21.080 And held a press conference making these demands.
00:21:23.560 So, basically, what it boils down to in a nutshell is removing patriotism from education.
00:21:28.420 They want the Mayflower Compact removed.
00:21:32.760 They want the slaves.
00:21:36.760 They want taught that slaves were Muslims, and that's why they were enslaved and persecuted in America.
00:21:43.100 It was because of their Muslim faith.
00:21:45.160 They want Thanksgiving removed.
00:21:46.920 They want Columbus, Christopher Columbus removed, Columbus Day removed.
00:21:50.280 They want George Washington's Thanksgiving address and Thanksgiving prayer removed.
00:21:54.760 They just have a whole litany of things that they want removed because, basically, what they want is a rewrite of U.S. and Texas history so that they can remake it what they want so they can indoctrinate our children to have a favorable opinion of radical Islam.
00:22:08.700 Dr. Pickering, hang on for one second.
00:22:10.560 Let's play the tape as we get up to break.
00:22:12.800 Dr. Pickering is going to join us on the other side.
00:22:14.880 Let's go ahead and play it.
00:22:16.860 Howdy, Texas.
00:22:17.600 So, today, we had the Foreign Terrorist Organization testify before the Texas State Board of Education, again, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which Governor Abbott has designated as a foreign terrorist organization, which the FBI has said is the face of the Muslim Brotherhood, another terrorist organization.
00:22:36.700 So, today, I'm going to – dealing with terrorists, they make demands.
00:22:42.080 So, I'm going to share with you the demand letter from Shema Zayan, Z-A-Y-A-N, who says that she is the operations manager for the Council of American-Islamic Relations.
00:22:54.740 Okay?
00:22:55.120 So, this is what they want.
00:22:56.120 They want taught to students in Texas that one-third of all slaves in America were Muslim and that they were enslaved because of their Muslim faith, and they were persecuted and killed during slavery because of their Muslim faith.
00:23:14.140 So, that's why they were enslaved.
00:23:17.160 I – y'all, correct me if I'm wrong.
00:23:19.340 David Barton, if you're watching this, you are a great historical scholar.
00:23:23.040 Correct me if I'm wrong.
00:23:23.940 Were one-third of all slaves in America Muslim – I don't know.
00:23:28.520 I've never seen evidence to that or thought about that.
00:23:31.480 The other thing that they want is they want the Mayflower Compact not to be taught.
00:23:37.440 Another thing that they want is they want Columbus – all references to Columbus and Columbus Day removed.
00:23:43.480 Another thing they want is they want Thanksgiving removed.
00:23:46.140 Specifically, they want the 1789 President George Washington proclamation about Thanksgiving and the Thanksgiving prayer, which is a National Archive document.
00:23:56.640 This is a presidential proclamation.
00:23:58.820 They want that removed.
00:24:00.020 They don't want students from Texas learning about Thanksgiving or George Washington's Thanksgiving prayer.
00:24:04.740 Another thing that they want is they want – added that the Alamo was influenced by Islam.
00:24:10.140 Did you know, according to them – I mean, this is so laughable.
00:24:14.760 This is such a rewrite of history.
00:24:16.340 Did you know that, according to them, that the design of the Alamo is specific to Islamic architecture?
00:24:23.140 And that the people who built the Alamo were trying to honor Islam whenever they built the Alamo?
00:24:31.460 I'm telling y'all, you can't make this up.
00:24:33.160 You just – you cannot make up this rewrite of history that they are wanting.
00:24:36.760 Also, they are wanting to include several people who have written great works of fiction.
00:24:44.520 I'm going to say it that way.
00:24:45.500 It's a rewrite of America history and Texas history.
00:24:47.720 So I'm going to say these great works of hubris and fiction to be included in teaching our children as facts about Muslim contributions to the founding of the United States of America and Muslim contributions to the founding of Texas.
00:25:00.720 So, y'all, I'm telling you, look, here it is.
00:25:03.440 This is the two-page demand list from this terrorist organization on what they want your children and what they want your grandchildren to be taught.
00:25:11.680 And I'm telling you, they're going to hit this big, beautiful wall right here.
00:25:14.240 This is going to be a hard no.
00:25:15.380 This is a beautiful red, white, and blue wall that I get to honor.
00:25:19.680 I have the honor of representing you, SBOE 7.
00:25:22.100 And I promise you this terrorist organization is hitting this beautiful red, white, and blue wall.
00:25:27.080 This is not acceptable.
00:25:28.420 We're going to teach Christopher Columbus.
00:25:29.840 We're going to teach the Ten Commandments.
00:25:31.040 We're going to teach Thanksgiving.
00:25:32.100 We're going to teach George Washington Thanksgiving prayer.
00:25:34.900 We are certainly not going to teach that the Alamo was designed and built to honor Islam.
00:25:40.920 So, God bless y'all.
00:25:42.140 Y'all keep praying.
00:25:42.760 We're going to keep on winning.
00:25:44.040 And God bless Texas.
00:25:45.380 That's Dr. Julie Pickren.
00:25:49.980 She's going to join us after the break.
00:25:52.140 Right there, that's called standing in the breach.
00:25:55.100 That takes a lot of guts because these organizations, and they understand what they're doing, right?
00:26:01.660 This is called civilizational jihad.
00:26:05.580 They're going to force it, and they're not going to back down.
00:26:07.800 And my question is, why are they even able to send letters?
00:26:10.680 They've been designated terrorist organizations by the government of the state of Texas, by a decree by the governor, Governor Abbott.
00:26:18.040 But they are relentless, and they're well-funded, and they're well-funded by foreign powers.
00:26:23.440 Some of the exact same foreign powers that we happen to be putting our Navy in harm's way to protect.
00:26:30.580 And Lindsey Graham, even Lady Lindsey sitting there going, well, you know, you're double-dealing us.
00:26:36.620 His words, not mine.
00:26:37.680 We've got to get to the bottom of this.
00:26:40.460 This is why Texas, we have to take the stand in Texas.
00:26:43.760 Texas is the jewel in the crown of this union, and they know that.
00:26:48.880 That's why we see this Islamic invasion.
00:26:51.220 A short commercial break.
00:26:52.360 We're going to return in the war room in just a moment.
00:27:08.280 A new year means new financial goals, like making sure your savings are secure and diversified.
00:27:16.200 Will this be the year you finally listen to me and talk to someone from Birch Gold Group?

00:31:17.400 I hope this audience, and what I want to do is I'll get the,
00:31:24.080 we want to get the letter and send it out to everybody.
00:31:26.000 Dr. Julie Pickering from the Texas Board of Education.
00:31:30.440 What strikes me, ma'am, is the arrogance, the disrespect for this country,
00:31:36.500 the disrespect for our republic, our constitution, our traditions,
00:31:40.740 and specifically a direct insult to the people in the great state of Texas.
00:31:47.000 Texas, I just don't know, having, you know, been in and out of Texas for, you know, 40, 50 years,
00:31:53.680 but really having the opportunity and the pleasure of spending the last five or six, seven weeks there,
00:31:59.720 Texans are some of the proudest people in this country for good reason of what they've done
00:32:04.220 and what they've accomplished.
00:32:05.140 I am just shocked at the arrogance of these people and what they're putting forward, ma'am.
00:32:13.580 So arrogance is the right word because not only are they coming and testifying before the Texas State Board of Education,
00:32:20.420 which is entrusted with the public education of almost six million children in the great state of Texas,
00:32:25.120 and about half the states in the country follow our decisions.
00:32:27.800 So not only the arrogance to come and testify before us on these ludicrous demands,
00:32:33.560 but also doing it after the governor of Texas has designated them as a foreign terrorist organization.
00:32:39.980 So they are standing before us knowing that they are representing a terrorist organization.
00:32:45.840 And so it's been wild.
00:32:47.520 They've come before the Texas State Board of Education now three times to testify,
00:32:51.680 and they held a press conference in November to give out their demands.
00:32:55.840 And so it's just—it's wild that this is what we're fighting now in the great state of Texas
00:33:01.100 is the rewrite of U.S. history and the rewrite of Texas history for what they're wanting
00:33:06.360 is a favorable rewrite to Islam, to radical Islam.
00:33:10.540 And so you can't create it.
00:33:11.980 It wasn't there at the beginning of U.S. history.
00:33:13.840 It wasn't there at the beginning of Texas history.
00:33:15.680 But they want to create this fictional rewrite of history to make Islam favorable
00:33:20.560 to the indoctrination of Texas children,
00:33:22.760 and which will ultimately be the indoctrination of America's children
00:33:26.280 because so many states follow the Texas State Board of Education and our decisions.
00:33:30.640 So that's where we're at now, Steve.
00:33:32.400 So you've seen the video.
00:33:34.320 The press conference was in November.
00:33:36.260 They laid out their list there.
00:33:37.400 That's where they were really talking about Christopher Columbus
00:33:39.760 and wanting to remove Christopher Columbus and remove Thanksgiving,
00:33:43.860 which, by the way, President George Washington's Thanksgiving address
00:33:47.480 was in 1789, the Thanksgiving address, the Thanksgiving prayer.
00:33:51.920 That's a National Archive document.
00:33:53.600 That's a presidential proclamation.
00:33:55.960 So why would we not teach our children what the first president of the United States
00:34:00.260 had to say about Thanksgiving and why we were designating Thanksgiving as a national holiday?
00:34:04.660 But they don't want that taught.
00:34:05.940 They don't want founding fathers taught.
00:34:08.260 They don't want America's Christian heritage taught.
00:34:10.980 They want radical Islam taught.
00:34:13.840 And then to go even further and desecrate our Alamo, right?
00:34:18.380 The Alamo is sacred to Texans.
00:34:21.100 And so to come in there and say that they want taught,
00:34:23.860 that the Alamo was designed and built to honor Islam,
00:34:28.280 that's just not going to work.
00:34:29.620 That's not going to work for the great state of Texas.
00:34:31.460 And I'm telling you, like I said in that video,
00:34:33.100 they're going to hit this red, white, and blue wall.
00:34:35.120 My constituents, my almost 2 million constituents in Southeast Texas,
00:34:38.500 which, by the way, is the most Trump votes in all of Texas,
00:34:42.380 I have a clear mandate for my constituents.
00:34:44.780 And the clear mandate for my constituents,
00:34:46.920 because I believe the president won almost 70% of the vote
00:34:50.200 in the area that I represent of Southeast Texas,
00:34:53.720 the clear mandate is they want the president's agenda in education,
00:34:57.820 and they clearly want Governor Abbott's agenda in education,
00:35:01.440 which is teaching patriotism,
00:35:03.220 which is teaching American exceptionalism and Texas exceptionalism
00:35:06.600 and teaching the true history of the United States and America
00:35:09.840 and not this woke indoctrination.
00:35:14.560 And through the teaching of a state that epitomizes,
00:35:18.800 you know, with all the volunteers and folks that go into the military
00:35:21.960 and all the great bases,
00:35:23.020 but the history of the Texas independence,
00:35:26.200 the Texas Revolution,
00:35:28.380 what the Texans had to go through
00:35:30.660 to make sure they turned that state into a financial powerhouse.
00:35:33.920 It's the eighth biggest economy in the world.
00:35:35.680 It's almost a country in and of itself,
00:35:37.440 and the pride that these people take.
00:35:39.740 Dr. Pickering, hang on one second.
00:35:40.980 I got Dr. Thayer, and Dr. Thayer, you're here.
00:35:42.600 We're going to talk about the war in a second.
00:35:44.440 But I want to bring you in because you also did the best analysis.
00:35:47.660 You and Natalie did the best analysis
00:35:49.200 of breaking down the National Strategy Memor of National Defense.
00:35:54.520 Correct me if I'm wrong,
00:35:56.100 and this is one of the reasons we got motivated to go to Texas,
00:35:58.760 is what our friends in London told us
00:36:01.180 about how far down the path Texas was on this Islamic invasion
00:36:05.240 vis-a-vis what London is,
00:36:06.700 and London has fallen, as we know.
00:36:09.140 Talk about, in the national security document
00:36:13.120 the President of the United States put out just a couple of months ago,
00:36:16.060 he put Europe on pages 29 to 32 at the tail end
00:36:19.740 because they said,
00:36:20.780 you guys face civilizational erasure.
00:36:24.080 This is exactly how it happens.
00:36:27.140 Does it not, Dr. Thayer?
00:36:29.600 It does indeed.
00:36:30.800 So the National Security Strategy of the United States
00:36:32.700 talked about a danger to Europe of civilizational erasure.
00:36:37.320 But as Dr. Pickering's great work is illustrating,
00:36:42.040 that civilizational erasure is taking place
00:36:44.080 within the United States as well.
00:36:46.480 And the CARE letter is an example of that.
00:36:49.420 And that we need to,
00:36:52.860 as Dr. Pickering is taking the lead in Texas,
00:36:55.740 we need to do that nationally as well,
00:36:58.720 recognizing that whether we're in Australia or in Ireland
00:37:01.820 or the UK, in Europe, in Canada, in Texas,
00:37:06.040 we face the same fight,
00:37:08.300 which is that there are groups,
00:37:10.380 the red-green axis is seeking to erase our civilization,
00:37:15.460 and has been supremely successful at so doing
00:37:18.640 because they've never encountered any resistance until now
00:37:23.540 with obviously good results in Texas.
00:37:26.760 And again, Dr. Pickering is so important
00:37:30.020 because of the importance of education
00:37:32.500 and the importance of other states using Texas textbooks.
00:37:39.080 So Dr. Pickering,
00:37:41.040 I know you're a leader in education.
00:37:43.820 Give the brutal truth, though,
00:37:45.840 given that letter,
00:37:48.000 given your video,
00:37:49.200 given your presentation here to the country,
00:37:52.060 I would assume,
00:37:53.140 oh, this is a slam dunk.
00:37:54.420 Why are we even spending time with this?
00:37:55.880 Because it's so ludicrous.
00:37:57.880 That's not the case, though, is it?
00:37:59.460 This is going to be a tough vote, ma'am?
00:38:01.820 It is.
00:38:02.740 It is, Steve,
00:38:03.560 because the five Democrats have already stood
00:38:06.460 with CARE at a press conference supporting this.
00:38:09.620 And we have one or two soft Republicans on our board
00:38:13.140 that don't really have a problem.
00:38:14.360 We have one of our State Board of Education members,
00:38:16.560 Republican from Houston,
00:38:18.020 that already has tried to remove all founding fathers
00:38:22.000 and patriotism from our state-mandated reading list.
00:38:25.100 So this isn't a far jump to go ahead
00:38:27.120 and remove George Washington
00:38:28.520 to make all these removals,
00:38:30.000 Christopher Columbus for him.
00:38:31.260 So this is going to be a close vote.
00:38:32.960 But I'd also like to say that in this discussion
00:38:35.400 at the Texas State Board of Education,
00:38:36.940 I was very quick to come back to say,
00:38:39.060 if we're going to teach Islam,
00:38:40.180 then we're going to teach the Barbary Coast.
00:38:42.240 We're going to teach,
00:38:43.100 and when we teach radical Islam,
00:38:44.480 we're going to teach the birth
00:38:45.520 of the United States Marine Corps
00:38:47.120 because of Muslims in North Africa
00:38:50.520 taking ships captive,
00:38:52.600 taking European and American ships captive
00:38:54.760 and enslaving the people
00:38:56.120 because it was justified
00:38:57.700 because they were Christian.
00:38:59.280 And then you had President John Adams,
00:39:01.160 was it President at the time?
00:39:02.100 You had John Adams write a letter
00:39:03.380 saying to the Muslims in North Africa,
00:39:05.980 look, America is not a Christian nation
00:39:08.320 that we're willing to go to war
00:39:09.880 because we want to Christianize other nations.
00:39:13.740 John Adams never said
00:39:15.300 that America was not a Christian nation.
00:39:17.040 They like to cut that sentence off,
00:39:18.800 but that's not what he said.
00:39:19.820 He said that we are not a Christian nation
00:39:21.380 as to go to war
00:39:22.400 to make other nations Christian.
00:39:24.400 But that was the negotiations
00:39:25.900 to stop the Barbary,
00:39:28.460 to stop what was happening
00:39:29.340 at the Barbary Coast
00:39:30.180 and happening there
00:39:31.060 with the enslavement
00:39:32.980 and the murder of hundreds,
00:39:35.020 maybe thousands of European
00:39:36.360 and American men and women and children.
00:39:39.500 No, they would take the women
00:39:41.840 and the children
00:39:42.320 right to the slave block,
00:39:43.480 auction them off right there.
00:39:44.540 So I don't want to hear
00:39:45.320 about the slavery issue.
00:39:46.560 I just want to be specific.
00:39:48.980 Walk us through the critical path
00:39:50.560 of when this is going to happen,
00:39:52.120 voting, other testimony,
00:39:53.500 and what assistance do you need
00:39:55.900 from this vast audience
00:39:57.540 that has your back?
00:39:58.660 And as I can already tell by the chat
00:40:00.060 and other things,
00:40:01.060 my phone blowing up,
00:40:02.540 that people are outraged about this.
00:40:04.840 So tell us what's the timing
00:40:06.620 of what's going to happen
00:40:07.500 and how can this audience assist you
00:40:10.200 in your efforts to thwart it?
00:40:13.740 Yes, sir.
00:40:14.280 What we need is we need public testimony.
00:40:15.960 We had 91 testifiers testify before us
00:40:19.860 in the Texas State Board of Education
00:40:21.220 a couple of weeks ago at our meeting.
00:40:22.660 And all the 91,
00:40:24.680 only two were against this.
00:40:27.740 So we need America.
00:40:29.800 We need the MAGA.
00:40:30.980 We need patriots.
00:40:32.360 We need y'all to stand up
00:40:34.080 and to speak up.
00:40:35.120 Email the Texas State Board of Education.
00:40:37.660 Come and testify in Austin before us
00:40:39.960 because right now we only had two people
00:40:42.600 out of 91 that did not support this.
00:40:46.220 Even one of the leading social studies,
00:40:48.320 one of the leading history professors
00:40:49.860 at University of Texas, Austin, Dr. Mintz,
00:40:52.400 was supportive of this rewrite of history.
00:40:55.100 So I'm saying this is a David and Goliath moment
00:40:57.020 for Texas, but I tell you what,
00:40:58.360 I know my state.
00:40:59.260 I love my state.
00:41:00.360 And the power is always with we, the people.
00:41:03.040 We just need to hear from we, the people.
00:41:07.080 Dr. Pickering, what would be the timing?
00:41:08.820 Have you already set up more hearings?
00:41:11.180 Or should people contact you and say,
00:41:13.260 hey, I want to do it?
00:41:14.140 And then you'll set up the hearings.
00:41:15.360 What's just the logistics of it?
00:41:17.620 Yes, sir.
00:41:18.160 So the Texas State Board of Education,
00:41:19.740 our next meeting is scheduled
00:41:20.700 for the third week of April.
00:41:22.240 We meet Tuesday through Friday.
00:41:24.200 We'll probably take testimony on this
00:41:25.820 on Tuesday or Wednesday, third week of April.
00:41:28.100 So we would love to hear from you.
00:41:29.780 You can email, actually, you can email us
00:41:32.580 if people want to get in contact with me.
00:41:34.000 I can share that email.
00:41:35.300 I can share that email address with you
00:41:36.940 at sboesupport at texas.gov.
00:41:47.000 If you email there, then they will disperse your emails
00:41:50.620 to all 15 State Board of Education members.
00:41:53.080 But we need our patriots to speak up.
00:41:55.060 We need you to email.
00:41:55.980 We need you to call.
00:41:57.020 And we need you to show up in just a few weeks
00:41:59.560 in April to say, this is not right.
00:42:02.000 We are not going to teach a radical Islamification
00:42:06.100 and rewrite of Texas history and U.S. history.
00:42:09.060 We're going to stick with the facts.
00:42:10.500 We're going to stick with founding fathers.
00:42:11.940 We're going to teach the Mayflower Compact.
00:42:13.560 We're going to teach the Ten Commandments,
00:42:15.040 Moses' Law.
00:42:16.000 We're going to teach the greatness of America
00:42:18.320 and the greatness of Texas and our founding fathers.
00:42:23.060 One more time, slow, just the email address,
00:42:25.220 and we're going to get it up on a chyron later.
00:42:26.900 But if you can just give us where people can email,
00:42:29.240 and then I would like your social media
00:42:30.660 so people can follow you.
00:42:31.820 And we'll make sure.
00:42:33.760 We're in posse, and particularly the folks down in Texas,
00:42:36.600 the grassroots, they're on fire on this topic.
00:42:39.060 So we'll make sure this thing is packed
00:42:40.600 and will definitely outweigh what they brought.
00:42:44.120 But just go slowly and just give us the email.
00:42:47.460 Okay.
00:42:47.820 They can email.
00:42:49.180 Actually, if you want to email me,
00:42:50.440 I will send it out to the other members.
00:42:52.860 You can email me at Julie, J-U-O-I-E dot Pickren,
00:42:57.100 P-I-C-K-R-E-N at S-B-O-E dot Texas, T-E-X-A-S dot gov.
00:43:08.600 Julie.Pickren at S-B-O-E dot Texas dot gov.
00:43:14.600 And then my, if you want to contact me.
00:43:18.000 What's your social media?
00:43:20.080 Twitter is at Julie, the number four T-X,
00:43:23.020 at Julie four T-X, or you can go to my website,
00:43:25.200 www.juliepickren.com.
00:43:27.840 But Steve, God bless you.
00:43:29.320 God bless Texas.
00:43:30.320 And God bless we the people.
00:43:31.740 That's where the power is always at with the people.
00:43:35.540 Amen, sister.
00:43:36.760 Fantastic work.
00:43:37.600 You make us all proud.
00:43:38.880 Keep fighting.
00:43:39.320 Thank you so much for me.
00:43:40.340 You got a lot of people back, you got a lot of,
00:43:42.360 you got a lot of people back you up, Dr. Pickering.
00:43:45.640 We'll get on this one.
00:43:47.340 You got to.
00:43:48.500 Look at their arrogance.
00:43:49.700 Look at the letter they sent it.
00:43:50.740 Look at the testimony.
00:43:52.800 And they know, and they try to intimidate people.
00:43:55.100 That's why people didn't show up the first time.
00:43:56.440 And these history professors, they're all going to kowtow them.
00:43:58.340 Are you going to kowtow to them?
00:44:00.560 Ask yourself, are you going to kowtow to them?
00:44:02.100 Are you going to take a stand now?
00:44:03.220 Because it's right now.
00:44:04.020 The fight's not in the future.
00:44:05.060 The fight is right now.
00:44:06.320 Look what's happening in Texas.
00:44:07.480 And that situation's serious.
00:44:11.860 Right there, the Democrats.
00:44:13.180 How are they, how are Torrico going to win?
00:44:15.020 Come on, man.
00:44:16.500 Look what they support.
00:44:17.800 The destruction of this country.
00:44:20.460 The internal destruction of this country.
00:44:23.600 Dr. Thayer, you're on here today to give us a summary.
00:44:26.960 We started the day with Pete Hegseth, the Department of War.
00:44:30.300 Very systematic walkthrough of what the, what CENCOM and the Joint Chiefs are doing in this
00:44:36.020 methodical takedown.
00:44:37.020 But a lot of things have happened during the day.
00:44:39.120 He promised a big bombing run.
00:44:40.680 They've had a big bombing run.
00:44:41.840 I'm sure it's even going to get bigger later.
00:44:43.700 Your assessment of where we are is the Iranians are saying now, hey, we hear you.
00:44:48.380 We're going to mine the Straits of Hormuz, sir.
00:44:52.340 Sure.
00:44:52.880 So Secretary Hegseth did say, and it does seem that that's coming to, to pass tonight in
00:45:00.220 Iran, that there are major attacks underway.
00:45:04.040 We hope that those are just a continuation of the attritional attacks going after, of
00:45:09.500 course, remnants that they have in their ballistic missile, cruise missile capabilities, drone
00:45:14.940 capabilities, manufacturing of those capabilities, the distribution of those capabilities, and then
00:45:20.720 deployment of those capabilities.
00:45:24.400 So that's very important.
00:45:26.960 So a continuation of the counterforce target sets, which are so important for President
00:45:31.960 Trump's objectives in the war.
00:45:34.520 I would also suspect those are also going to include more naval targets, particularly mines, where
00:45:43.020 the mines are going to be stored in ports and the continuation of destruction of vessels,
00:45:49.540 even the smaller vessels.
00:45:51.320 As Jack was saying earlier, right, a Dow could launch a mine, a two or three or four mines
00:45:58.880 off of a Dow.
00:46:00.240 So small ships are a great danger in Iran's effort to close the Straits of Hormuz.
00:46:07.700 And the strategic objective of closing the Straits of Hormuz, of course, is to inflict pain on
00:46:13.340 the United States.
00:46:14.320 They want to increase the cost to the Trump administration of continuing this war.
00:46:19.220 So by closing Hormuz, they're preventing oil and gas from exiting, which hurts Americans,
00:46:27.460 which hurts our allies, of course, and really most countries around the world are going
00:46:33.700 to be affected by this.
00:46:36.180 So their capabilities may be modest in that regard.
00:46:39.860 But the threat of mining, of course, again, as Jack Posobiec stressed earlier, is key, right?
00:46:47.940 That's going to be essential for intimidating the insurers, the shipping companies, from
00:46:55.620 attempting to transit the Straits.
00:47:00.680 Yes, because they said, hey, we're not going to, even if we can insure them, or the United
00:47:04.520 States guarantees the reinsurance, we're not going to do it because of the crews and the
00:47:07.620 vessels themselves.
00:47:08.340 Real quickly, what did Lindsey Graham mean when he said he's pleading, he's a supplicant
00:47:14.500 to Saudi Arabia multiple times over at Fox saying, you guys, we will give you a perpetuity
00:47:21.960 defense agreement if you step up now and attack.
00:47:24.700 And then later he said, I can't send this, I can't go to my state and ask for the sons
00:47:29.100 and daughters in South Carolina to go fight if you're double dealing us.
00:47:32.740 What is your assessment of what's really happening with our quote unquote allies in the Gulf
00:47:38.220 region, sir?
00:47:39.980 Well, it's mixed, Steve, of course.
00:47:41.680 So Israel is obviously very important, fighting with us, of course, and going after different
00:47:48.500 targets.
00:47:49.060 That's the counter value target sets, which you called attention to earlier, that is going
00:47:55.520 after the oil industry in Iran, which President Trump does not want to hit, of course.
00:48:02.540 And Israel, of course, taking the lead on leadership, it seems, going after the Iranian
00:48:06.820 leadership.
00:48:08.040 The Gulf shakedoms, of course, are a mix, right?
00:48:10.660 They were reluctant in this regard.
00:48:14.700 They've taken some hits in the very important areas and desalinization, of course, in their
00:48:20.140 oils.
00:48:20.980 And Saudi Arabia has as well.
00:48:24.340 I don't understand what's behind Lindsey Graham's desire to create Saudi Arabia as the 51st
00:48:29.660 state of the United States, and there's very little strategic logic to that.
00:48:36.880 One element of development which is a cause of concern, Steve, was the sending of parts.
00:48:46.220 Some of the components of the THAAD missile defense system from South Korea had been sent
00:48:53.500 to the Middle East, and that's a cause of great concern.
00:48:58.120 THAAD batteries, of course, are very precious commodities, low density, very high demand.
00:49:04.620 We don't make many of them.
00:49:06.600 Some, particularly the radars, are very difficult to construct, and we don't have many of them.
00:49:14.200 Iran claims that four of the radars have been damaged in the Middle East.
00:49:19.220 And whether that's true or not, it seems at least one has been damaged.
00:49:24.420 And thus, we're taking components from South Korea and sending it to the Middle East.
00:49:29.880 That has worried the South Koreans considerably and has worried the Japanese and worries Indo-PACOM,
00:49:37.860 of course, because, again, those assets are precious and they serve a very important deterrent
00:49:45.500 function in the Indo-Pacific.
00:49:48.700 And when you're reducing your deterrent capabilities in the Indo-Pacific to serve the Middle East,
00:49:54.980 the fear is that the likelihood of aggression, of course, from North Korea or from Communist China increases.
00:50:03.080 So that was a worrisome development.
00:50:04.960 Dr. Thayer, we've got to bounce, but also another worrisome development.
00:50:12.080 Axios reported this afternoon that the United States is asking Israel not to hit any more of the oil infrastructure
00:50:19.440 in Tehran for post-war and for just making sure we don't drive these people into some Persian nationalism.
00:50:26.580 We've got to bounce.
00:50:27.920 What is your coordinates, sir, that people can follow you?
00:50:31.980 Well, follow Dr. Pickering.
00:50:35.000 I think that's key to get into that fight right now, that she is standing,
00:50:39.280 she's preventing civilizational erasure, right, which is happening right now in Texas.
00:50:43.460 It's happening in the United States.
00:50:45.200 So back, Dr. Pickering and her efforts, it's absolutely essential to stop this now and to reverse it, right?
00:50:52.040 Not to simply stop it, but to begin to reverse these efforts.
00:50:58.460 So Dr. Pickering is outstanding, a supporter 100%.
00:51:02.960 Dr. Thayer, thank you so much.
00:51:06.520 Look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
00:51:09.740 Another big night in the war.
00:51:11.580 We'll be back at 10 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
00:51:14.420 Thank you, War Room Engine Room, for doing it.
00:51:16.760 972 Patriot, our sponsor, and for all things Texas, 972 Patriot, Patriot Mobile.
00:51:23.860 Go talk to somebody right now with an East Texas accent about the greatest phone company in the world,
00:51:28.700 greatest mobile company, a Christian company with Christian values that has your back.
00:51:34.040 You heard about the fight in the Texas Board of Education.
00:51:38.100 It's all over Texas.
00:51:39.160 And folks are standing in the breach.
00:51:42.020 That's why Patriot Mobile is now more important than ever.
00:51:44.900 Also, CPAC, 25th to the 28th.
00:51:47.840 Want a big turnout.
00:51:48.920 Only 17 bucks, particularly if you're in the area.
00:51:52.740 It is going to be extraordinary.
00:51:56.540 Talks, breakout sessions, panels, all of it.
00:52:00.220 $17.
00:52:01.040 Just go and say you're part of the war on posse.
00:52:02.820 We'll see you tomorrow morning, 10 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, when you will be back in the War Room.
00:52:10.680 Do you owe back taxes or you haven't filed your taxes in years?
00:52:21.540 Now is the time to resolve your tax matters.
