Episode 4936: Texas Courts Thwarting Trump's Redistricting; Islamic Takeover Of Texas ...
Loading summary
A
This is Texas redistricting. This is very much going to be about 2026. We might have Epstein be about 2026, but this as well. The state of Texas tried to redraw the maps, add five more seats, and now a federal judge has said, no, you can't. Three of them, actually. So.
B
Oh, three.
A
And redistricting cases, oftentimes the law requires that they are held, that they are heard initially by a three judge panel. And that's what happened here. And they are saying that the redistricting effort that Texas undertook here was, was done in a way that wasn't just partisan. It was overtly racial in its gerrymandering, such that the plaintiffs who sued, and there were multiple groups of them are entitled to a preliminary injunction that blocks the use of those maps for the 2026 election and requires Texas to go back to their 2021 maps. They're saying that having a legislatively drawn map is preferable to courts drawing the map and getting involved in that themselves. They recognize time is of the essence. And usually when you have an election right around the corner, a suprem case called Purcell sort of begs that court sort of back off and not get involved. And they say here the evidence of the partisan and racial gender remandering was so obvious and flagrant that despite that Supreme Court case cautioning courts not to get involved, they had to override it. That's interesting. So it's, I think it's December 7th or December 8th that lawmakers have to file for their candidacy. Which. Which means there's only a few weeks. Yes. For this court to bring it up to. Or for Texas to this. To the Supreme Court. That's right. The Supreme Court would need to weigh in before then. What is the likelihood of that happening? I think the likelihood of it happening is high. At least the court may determine and say that they're not going to take it. In which case the court's decision, the lower court's decision today would stay in place. But I think it's more likely that they'll use it as an opportunity to say whether or not all of these redistricting attempts that are happening at DOJ's invitation expressly are all over the country. Should happen now or not. It's not typical for mid decade redistricting to happen. And there's a reason why.
C
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies. Because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
D
And where do people like that go.
C
To share the big lie?
D
MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul.
C
I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my.
E
Country, this country will be saved.

War Room here's your host. STEPHEN K. Band Foreign.
C
It's Tuesday the 18th of November, year of our Lord 2025. Okay, here's what we're going to do today. I've got Rabbi Pesach Wlicki, good buddy of mine, is going to co host today. Got a lot to talk about. Brian Harrison is going to join us in a moment. Big news coming out of Texas on the Muslim Brotherhood and care, but signal not noise. Redistricting, which we have to win. Redistricting or midterms are going to be very tough. Get to all that. I'm here for the first half hour with the rabbi and Brian Harrison. At six o' clock I got to step out for a meeting. But at six o' clock we're going to have while Israel slept. Yaakov Katz is with me. I'm back here with the entire hour to go through October 7th. Remember, we had him on a couple weeks ago. People raved about. This book is fantastic. So we'll get to all of it. Brian Harrison first before we get to the Muslim Brotherhood and care, we got kind of a bombshell today down in Texas. I'm not so sure this is not an unforced error, but where are we? This is vital, brother, because right now the Democrats are climbing over the ramparts on this redistricting fight and establishment Republicans in Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, we're all sudden getting cold feet. Where are we? What happened today?
B
Well, it's a huge deal and I got to remind folks the stakes. And we're talking about the future of the United States Congress and what happens in the midterms. Do the radical leftist Marxist progressives of AOC take over and effectively thwart the final two years of the Trump administration? I mean, the stakes could not be higher. And we had an absolute legal bombshell. What happened to catch folks up is the state of Texas redistricted earlier this year to add five new Republican seats. Quite frankly, something we should have done before now, but we finally got it done this year. And what a three judge panel, three federal judge Panel decided to basically slap down our new maps and force us to have elections in the March primary and November general elections next year based on the maps that were drawn in 2021, which give a five seat advantage to the Democrats as opposed to the five new seats for Republicans. In the current map, we had three judges here, the two judges that ruled against the state of Texas. One was appointed by Barack Obama, so no surprise. But also one of the judges, and what's very interesting was actually appointed by President Trump himself. The state of Texas was thrilled to see our attorney general announce that he will most definitely be appealing this and it looks like it will go straight to the Supreme Court. So a massive, massive legal breaking news here regarding redistricting. And I disagree with these judges. I think they were wrong. They're basically claiming that we drew this down here in Texas on the basis so for they called it racial gerrymandering. I have no reason whatsoever to think that's correct. But, but this is a very serious issue and we should be treating it very seriously down here in the state of Texas.
C
So I talked to the Attorney General. You guys are going to go the Supreme Court. This will be settled at the Supreme Court, I take it?
B
Yeah, yeah, that's right. Because it was a panel and not an individual judge. We don't have to go through the 5th Circuit or another court. So this will go straight to the Supreme Court if the Supreme Court takes it. So, so I am, I am hopeful that the Supreme Court will, number one, agree to hear the case and then to rule against the three judge panel here in Texas and allow our elections to proceed as we have been planning for the last several months. But I want to be really clear on this point because we should never take anything for granted. We should always be leaning forward. As you talk about a maximalist strategy here, we should be preparing contingency plans right now, right this second. In the event that the Supreme Court does not overrule these three judges and strike and slaps down our maps, the governor of the state of Texas needs to be making contingency plans right now to not only bring us back, but if we're not allowed to go on the current maps, we should redraw maps. We should do it the second. The Supreme Court, if they rule against us and don't just add five seats, let's add six seats, let's add seven seats, let's add eight seats. If we have to do this again, I hope it doesn't come to that, but we should be preparing right now.
C
Let Me, the Trump, when you say Trump judge, this was a judge that was pushed by Ted Cruz. Was it not served memory serves me correctly.
B
That memory. I would have to be fact checked on that, but I believe that is correct. I think we're talking about Judge Brown here.
C
How does a Trump judge rule against this, Sir?
B
You know, I don't know. It's a very long opinion. So I want to be very clear. I have not had a chance to go through the entire opinion, but he is, he is hanging his hat on a lot of statements and a lot of other rhetoric that that was made down here by senior Republican officials in the Texas government. I want to still be clear. I believe that the judges are wrong. I don't know why he ruled this way. And to be very clear, again, at the risk of putting too fine a point on it, I need the posse to understand how big of a deal this could be. This is not just a Texas story. This is a story that will impact the entire United States of America and potentially have be the be the deciding factor as to whether President Trump gets four full years to pursue his affirmative agenda to make America great again or is stymied with impeachment and nonstop oversight hearing from the radical leftists who are hell bent on destroying this country. And as far as me speaking for myself down here as a constitutional officer in the state of Texas, I want the Texas government, the Republicans or so called Republicans that lead the state of Texas to take nothing for granted. And we should be fighting absolutely as hard for the future of our state, the future of our country and for the future of Western civilization as the radical leftist Democrats, many of whom want to see the leftist agenda realized through their positions in many cases left from federal, from the federal bench.
C
Abbott never wanted to do this in the first place. We had to go bayonet to the back to him on this show with you, the people at Patriot Mobile. If it was not for Glenn Stern, the timo's political operation, this would never, we would never get in the five. They were always half hearted. And I got to tell you Democrats, look in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Commonwealth Virginia Spanberg and those guys are going to push the primaries back to August and go 10 to 1. They're going to take four seats from the, from the Republican in a state that votes about 44 or 45%, 46% Republican. These Democrats play smash mouth. Okay, we got hopefully tomorrow maybe Ken Paxton is going to join us. I got a shift. Governor Abbott. Wow. He dropped a bomb today on, on care in the Muslim Brotherhood. Let me get this right. This proclamation. They can't own property in the state of Texas. They can't purchase property in the state of Texas.
B
Yeah, that's what. That's what it looks like based on the declaration, which. Which is a victory for conservatives. But let me be really clear, too. This is a victory that people have been calling for, not just grassroots patriots in Texas, but across the country for a long time now. I mean, quite frankly, it's a huge win. And I want to say thank you to the posse because for all of this year, up until today's announcement, the governor has been putting out statements basically declaring victory against the, you know, violent people who are adherents to Sharia, claiming falsely that we had banned Sharia law in Texas. We never did that. And he claimed that we got rid of this Muslim epic city. That's absolutely false. It's proceeding faster than ever. So this is a huge victory for people, but it's credit to the conservative patriots across the country because if it weren't for your pressure, I can promise you Governor Abbott wouldn't have issued this declaration today. So on one hand, great. Celebrate it. Thank you, Governor. It was the right thing to do. Break. Break. We must maintain vigilance, because as I put out when he tweeted this out earlier today, this is good. The words are correct. Governor Abbott really did do this, and the words are right. But words without action are meaningless. And we've seen this, unfortunately, the history of Governor Abbott, for example, when it took years for him to declare his invasion authority on the border during the Biden border crisis. But we didn't see action to accompany it. So we need to see action. Stop giving vehicle registrations to illegal aliens, many of whom who may well be affiliated with terror organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood. So good job, posse. Forcing a big victory out of the governor today. But let's make sure it's accompanied by force, by action, and not just more empty rhetoric.
C
It's just a start, too. Just because the Muslim Brotherhood and care, we're not going to. We're not going to sit there and use all kind of holding companies. We'll get to the bottom of it. Brian Harrison, social media. I know you got to bounce. Thanks for taking time away to join us now.
B
Great to be with you. Yeah. At Brian E. Harrison on Twitter. At Brian E. Harrison. At Brian E. Harrison. Just thanks again, a lot of. A lot of breaking news and appreciate, Steve, what you're doing to open the eyes of patriots across Texas and the country on this. These are big breaking Stories and a.
E
Lot more to come.
C
I'll check with you after the. I'll check with you. Sure. Read the opinion. You I want to get you and Paxton on. I talked to Paxton a while ago, both you guys on this story. Couldn't be bigger. Thank you, sir. You spent a lot of time in Texas. I've actually done events.
E
Fact.
C
There's a photo here in our favorite paper, Her Arts of Us. I'll show you a second down in Texas. I went down for Texas for five days here about a month ago, and I went down to do the charter site. But what I did is took meetings with so many people and got kind of my sea legs on this issue of this Islamic invasion of Texas.
D
It's amazing that Abbott's decision is hitting the news today because the contrast between how controversial this is. Oh, my gosh. He's declaring CARE in the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organizations.
F
Hello.
D
You got the crown prince of Saudi Arabia in Washington today in the mobile. No, but here's the thing.
C
He's declared them already.
D
The Muslim Brotherhood is declared a terrorist organization by the Saudis and CAIR and care. So here you have the Saudis who hold the Muslim Brotherhood to be terrorists, and the Egyptians and the Jordanians and the Emiratis. Most of the sane countries in the Middle east know that the Muslim Brotherhood are bad news. And. And when you. And you've mentioned this many times that in the first term you tried to get the Muslim Brotherhood declared a terrorist organization, couldn't do anything. You couldn't get anywhere on it. So it's amazing. The timing of it.
C
In Texas, though, you agree, because you spend a lot of time down there. People should be worried. There's been 48 mosques opened in Dallas, in the Dallas area in the last 24 months. Two a month.
D
Look, this is all over the world. Islam is ascendant. And there's no game plan. There's no game plan to push back on it. And it's a real problem. I mean, this is. I'm worried for America. I'm worried. You know, you see what's happening in Europe. It's coming here.
C
It's coming.
E
It's come here.
C
This is why I keep saying New York City, we have to defend Texas because they've got New York City, they have a Ugandan Marxist jihadist. And for President Trump coming off the plane, his staff. That's telling about Mondame because I'm trying to denaturalize the guy because he's not really an American citizen. And to have people brief President Trump and he comes off, he says, hey, he's reaching out. So I was thinking of a meeting. He's given interviews a day and he's up in President Trump's gorilla. Put him up on getter. This guy has said nothing nice about President Trump, nothing good about any kind of cooperation. Today he was talking smack about President Trump. And if President Trump is going to enforce, I think some ICE issues in New York City and he's blowing back on Trump. This punk has got to be treated like a punk. He's the most dangerous politician in this country, full stop. There's no second.
B
Yeah.
D
And people don't understand the difference between different types of Muslims either. He's a Twelver Shiite and that's a particular sect of Islam which is the same ideology as the mullahs in Tehran. Most of the Middle east aren't 12 Rashiites. They are the most extreme, most anti west. And that is the branch of Islam that Mamdani is a part of. And that's what he adheres to.
C
We're going to take a short commercial break by the way, I might add, because I got my guy here today, got to run. 33% of all of Jewish voters voted for him. 67% of Jewish voters under.
D
Doesn't surprise me at all. We could talk about it after.
C
No, I really want to get into you because you're a guy's going through the receipts on the UN resolution and the difference between the 20 point plan. I want to get down to where we actually stand on this because I'm seeing, well, you see what happened today with, with the Saudis. Okay, short commercial break. Back in the war room, Rabbi Walecki is here as my co host for the first half hour. Back in a moment. Ever since COVID millions of Americans have started buying preparedness supplies, especially emergency food. And hey, that's a good thing.

By the way. So welcome back. The engine room. Because we have different engine rooms around the country. Ask a question. They thought the 12ers were 85% of Shia, not a minority, but they're actually 85%.
D
No. Of Shia. But the Shi are a minority. Yes, but he's saying, like, of Islam, meaning they're a sect of Islam, but they're the majority of Shiite. Correct. Yeah.
C
The Twelvers, the imam. They're waiting for the.
E
Right.
D
They're waiting for the imam to come back.
C
Just give.
D
Just. I'm not a big expert. You got to have Robert Spencer on here or someone to talk about that. But the point being that when you look at different branches of Islam and who's more moderate and who's more possibly amenable to, you know, living peacefully with the west, the 12ers are on the extreme end of destroy the West. This is Ayatollah Khamenei. Khamenei, the regime in Tehran. Now, that's who Mamdani looks to as his spiritual lodestar. It's like a traditional Catholic looking at the Pope or. I don't know what you think of the Pope. Now, I'm saying, like, that for him, the Ayatollah is the spiritual leader of.
C
The movement that he and his mother takes. His mother's been financed by Qatar. Correct. Is my understanding, has been her filmmaker. She's been financed by that very dangerous guy. Why did he have such wide Jewish support? Because this guy's not. He's not shy about what he believes.
D
Look, the vast majority of Jews in America, and this isn't true of Jews in Israel, but it's. The vast majority of Jews in America identify with the progressive left far more than they identify with Judaism. They don't practice their Judaism. They're not attending synagogue, they're not studying the Torah. The vast majority of Jews. This is a sad fact, but it plays out in all the electoral politics. The vast majority of Jews in America want nothing to do with folks like me. They want nothing to do with their own tradition. And their religion is progressive left.
C
So they're totally secular.
D
That's what they are. They love Mamdani.
C
I want to go through this deal because for people that have supported Israel for years and have not been a two state, people like I'm always no two state, we have de facto a two state solution coming out of the UN resolution, whatever this is. You're the one person that's gone through the details of this. The 20 point plan versus versus what's in the UN Security Council resolution. One of the issues, because I keep hearing guys like you saying, hey, Hamas is not disarmed, they have their arms not taken away until that's done. That's a condition pressing everything else but this deal. Moving on. They're over at the White House today. The Saudis are getting the military deal, they're getting the economic deal. They're coming here to invest and they're saying, hey, we're going to think about the Abraham Accord. So it was not a conditioned precedent. What is your problem right now with this deal, particularly coming out of the UN Security Council, which I noticed when I read the thing, I didn't see Israel having a big role in it. You had Muslim nations, Arab nations, Turkey with the United States. So is it out of the room, out of the deal? And how bad is this deal, particularly when we look at the details?
D
Well, right now if you look at the headlines in Israel, you look at statements coming out of the Prime Minister, the foreign minister and other cabinet ministers, they're all crying about the UN Security Council resolution for the wrong reason.
C
And you know, what's the reason they're crying about it.
D
Well, let me just back up and explain because I don't know if, I don't know if everyone in the posse knows what, knows everything in the 20 point plan. So just go through it. I'll walk through this pretty quickly. In the 20 point plan, as you said, a condition for moving forward is the disarming of Hamas. Phase one of the plan was just that Israel would withdraw to an internal perimeter to facilitate the hostage release in Gaza. An internal perimeter in Gaza. Israel still controls 53% of the Gaza Strip. Hamas is in the other 47%. And that would facilitate the first stage of the deal, which meant that aid would start going back into Hamas. The war would end, and all the hostages and the bodies of deceased hostages would be released. Prisoners would be released from Israeli prisons. It's the first stage of the deal. And that's all that Hamas agreed to. And they're very adamant that that's all they agreed to. President Trump keeps saying that Hamas agreed to disarm. Hamas is adamant that they did not agree to disarm. They say it every day. They said it yesterday again, they did not agree to disarm. Now, what does that mean? Does that mean that I don't think Trump is lying? I think the Qataris and the Turks probably told Trump, don't worry, they'll disarm because they want to save Hamas. That's their goal in this. But Hamas says they never agreed to disarm. And the big problem with the 20 point plan is that throughout the rest of the plan, a predicate for everything else that follows, all the investment and everything that happens later on with a new type of government in Gaza is all predicated on Hamas disarming and being removed from power. But it never says in the 20 point plan whose job it is to disarm Hamas. So in the weeks, that's kind of a big question. So this all leads up to the Security Council resolution, but in the weeks after the 20 point plan was first announced, you had all this confusion. Maria Bartiromo's interviewing President Trump and she asks him who's gonna disarm Hamas? And he goes, oh, maybe we'll do it. Maybe Israel will do it. And then Secretary of State Rubio is in Israel and they ask him about Israel disarming Hamas. He says, no, no, no, no, no, Israel can't do it, cuz that would mean a resump. And Jared Kushner is asked by Leslie stall in 60 minutes who's gonna disarm Hamas? And he says, oh, that's gonna be done by the International Stabilization Force, the Turks, now the International Stabilization Force. And this is the key. I'm about to read from the Security Council resolution. You'll see the problem. The International Stabilization Force is introduced in Trump's 20 point plan. Way down the list. I think it's around point 15 or 16, meaning after Hamas is demilitarized and the Gaza Strip is no longer a danger to Israel and Israel's withdrawn, then we can bring in this new security force, this force under the guidance of the Egyptians and the Jordanians, called the International Stabilization Force, which will become the new security apparatus for Gaza. So when Jared Kushner says to Leslie Stahl, oh, the International Stabilization Force is going to disarm Hamas, a couple days later, King Abdullah of Jordan tells the BBC, no, we're not the international stable. So no one has a plan to disarm Hamas, Right? No one has a plan. Well, along comes, and it's very clear, by the way, in the Trump 20 point plan that the disarming of Hamas is not the job of the International Stabilization Force. Now, everyone is reporting on this UN Security Council resolution as though it's just a cut and paste of the 20 point Trump plan. And in fact, the 20 point plan was appended to it. But I read through the Security Council resolution, I had a hard time finding it. Most of the news coverage of this resolution didn't include the text, didn't link to it. I had to dig it up. But I found it, which, you know.
C
Is always an issue in that it's always.
D
That's the more. The harder it was to find, the more I knew there'd be a buried lead in there. So I dug up the text of the Security Council resolution, and in Article 7 of this, 11 points, and it's by far the longest piece. It's the main course here. I'll just read one piece of it. It's about the International Stabilization Force, and here's what it says. The isf, the International Stabilization Force shall work with Israel and Egypt without prejudice to their existing agreements, along with the newly trained and vetted Palestinian police force. That's the isf, to help secure border areas. So far, so good. Stabilize the security environment in Gaza. So far so good. By ensuring the process of demilitarizing the Gaza Strip, including the destruction and prevention of rebuilding the military, terror and offensive infrastructure, as well as the permanent decommissioning of weapons from non state armed groups. In other words, suddenly in this UN Security Council resolution, it's the job of the International Stabilization Force to disarm Hamas. Now, the chances that Jordanian, Egyptian or some other Arab country or Muslim country, Indonesia, Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan, whoever has said that they're gonna give troops to this International Stabilization Force, the chances of them going in and taking weapons away from Hamas are zero. Which means now Israel's in a worse position than we were in before the Security Council resolution. Why? Well, before the Security Council resolution. If Israel got fed up with the fact that we're not progressing to phase two of the 20 point plan, they would say, okay, if no one else is going to disarm Hamas, we're just going to go back in and disarm them. And Trump had already indicated that that might be the way Hamas gets disarmed. But now Israel can't do that, because before the Security Council resolution, they would just kind of need permission from Trump or a green light from him.
C
He came to America.
D
Now, if Israel decides to go back in there, you're in violation of a binding Security Council resolution, which means Israel's hands are tied. And they would need all these other actors to agree.
C
So why is the Netanyahu government. Why are people, the Jerusalem Post, the Times of Israel, Nobody's talking about this. Why, and particularly Netanyahu, is Ron Dermer being gone that big a deal that. Why is Netanyahu's government not banging on the tables about this?
D
Well, they're all focused on the Palestinian state issue. Oh, there's a pathway to Palestinian state. Look, there's been.
C
There's definitely a pathway. Not even a pathway. It's a thing, Steve.
D
The number of resolutions that have been passed in the United nations calling for a Palestinian state, an Israeli withdrawal from territories over the, over the decades, it. Those things are meaningless. And also in the deal, when it talks about a Palestinian state, it just cuts and pastes from the Trump 20 point plan, which says that at some point, at some point far in the future, when the Gaza Strip is no longer a threat, we'll talk about a Palestinian state.
C
We've got to bounce. But what needs to be done here, what then needs to be done?
D
What needs to be done here is Israel has to actually become an independent state. And you know, Laura Loomer, you gave.
C
Me the idea first. Loomer came on the other day. Can we have you back on later this week? I mean, you gotta get your sovereign.
D
We need to get our sovereign.
C
You and I talked about this months.
D
Ago, months and months ago. Israel needs to be able to make its own decisions. The leverage that the United States has in Israel's strategic decision making because you're protectorate is bad for Israel.
C
You need to be a sovereign. You say, Steve. I do. You agree with you. You were right.
D
Look, I don't agree that we're a protectorate. I think there's a gray area here that we can agree on.
C
But you're saying total sovereignty.
D
Look, Israel only gets 10% of our military budget from the United States aid, it's 0.7% of our GDP. This is a solvable problem. Israel needs to be sovereign and needs to be independent and needs to be able to actually do what we need to do.
C
And I'm going to talk about it. I'm going to talk to you about my Christian state. The three state solution since you got two. Rabbi, where do people go? You're brilliant. Where do people go to get you? Thank you.
D
Main place to go is is the Israel 365 YouTube channel. You can also go to my x account, Rabbi P.W. and I'm the only person.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. Good evening, I am Joe Allen, sitting in for Stephen K. Bannon. Two big news items tonight from the world of artificial intelligence. First, Google has released their Gemini 3 model, the latest AI model that has blown past all of its competitors on the most crucial evaluations. So humanity's last exam, created by the center for AI Safety, is a series of extremely difficult questions that evaluators run AIs through to get a sense of how quote unquote smart they are. For Gemini 3's deep think it scored 41%. Compare that to GPT5 Pro, which is at 30%. Or Claude at 13% we see that despite all the crazy hallucinations and all of the malfunctions, the AI is constantly enact, you have an enormous increase in artificial quote, unquote intelligence. The other evaluation which is in some sense more important, the ARC AGI test. The ARC AGI test is a type of problem solving or puzzle solving evaluation which tests whether or not a model is able to work through a problem that it would have never seen before. A sort of spatial reasoning. Gemini's deep think scored 45%, blowing past GPT5 which was at a mere 17%. What this means is number one, the technology is without a doubt advancing at a rapid clip and number two, it is not going away. This is going to be a huge boon for those who are making tons of money off of it and this is going to be a huge problem for those of us who would like to see it just disappear. Not happening. The second item, which is much more urgent and much more immediate is that the 10 year moratorium which so many people across the aisle fought to put down, is now reportedly being snuck back into the National Defense Authorization Act. This means that for all of our efforts, it's possible that Republicans led by Ted Cruz will ban any state from enacting regulation on artificial intelligence. We have about four days to put this thing back in the ground. Here to talk about it is Tim Estes, founder of AngelQ. Tim, thank you very much for joining us.
E
Joe, great to be on. Thank you very much for having me.
F
So Tim, we have the leading the future super PAC which is reportedly at around $200 million to primary or defeat any candidate that wants to regulate AI. We have David Sachs, Mark Andreessen, Peter Thiel, all these guys pushing against any kind of regulation that's meaningful. What does it mean that we have these House Republicans pushing for a new moratorium in the ndaa.
E
Well, first of all, it's a great sign that this could never happen on an up and down vote because the goal here is to take a must pass bill that normally gets massive support and in the back rooms sneak in language that benefits a handful of companies that supposedly is going to give us an advantage against China with the same companies that it's giving advantage to, having been the ones that put the R and D in China to enable them to copy us. So right now it's a crucial moment because the President has just come out and stated that there doesn't need to be state by state regulations, there needs to be a federal standard. And if that's what we were really debating. That would be a great debate. If we could have a national standard on areas like child safety, a national standard on areas like veracity and loyalty of the AIs versus deceit and abuse. If we had a standard on copyright that wasn't being trampled on, these would all be things that would be great to have a national standard on. But none of that's going to be in this. Okay. What we're really talking about is AI.
F
Hand a note on that, Tim. I mean, we have cosa, the Kids Online Safety Act. We have the risk assessment bill that has been introduced. We have all of these different federal bills, but they're all floundering, correct?
E
That's right. They get blocked at the last minute by procedural things. Okay. Certain people in leadership or chairman positions, they stand up and don't let them proceed. Okay. Because if they actually had COSA on the floor of the house, you'd get 350 votes, just like we got well over 90. Okay? So what's really terrible is we have gotten close to creating reasonable, thoughtful protections to protect families. And speaking, you know, as a fellow conservative in this, even though I think the issues we're talking about, they're 90% issues. These are not Republican immigration issues. This is about, are you pro human or pro company? And the pro human side of this could have made amazing strides under this majority, but that has not been the priority. Okay. And I think we're at a point now where we really have to decide how we think the voters are going to react when 90% of them want to prioritize protecting children over industry growth. Okay. There is a huge gap between the electoral politics being pushed from the venture capitalists in the White House with the realities of what's going to happen next fall. And so I believe that the majority is about to commit electoral suicide if they go down this road.
F
So who is behind this? We know that Steve Scalise told Punchbowl News that they were pushing this. This was reported yesterday. We know that Ted Cruz has been arrogantly claiming that the preemption is not going away. We know that many around Trump are pushing this, but where should the audience be focusing their attention? Both the people who are behind it, but also the people who can block this, who can veto the new alleged moratorium in the ndaa.
E
Well, I think that there's a lot of House members on the Republican side which need to realize that this is not going to be a big win for the country. Okay. The big win for the country is getting the Applications of artificial intelligence, which actually promote industry to be well funded, to be supported, to turn into mature, trustworthy technologies. This isn't about that. The laws are being passed in these states are age verification for pornography and addictive social media use and other areas. That's the stuff that's going to get interfered with here. And so the other areas, I mean, I think that we could go back and forth about how states should be influencing certain models. But the bottom line is the conservative pro family side is not here trying to run interference for Colorado and California. We are saying you have missed the boat on protecting our kids. And Republicans are supposed to be against child sacrifice. And whenever you want to find evil in this world, look where they're sacrificing the children. And so I think here is one where completely reasonable standards could have been proposed and then it would have been naturally preempted. Cosa, you mentioned preempted most state laws around.
F
Well, you know, the war Room posse has no problem. The war Room posse has no problem whatsoever holding the Republican feet to the fire. So that's, that's not an issue over here in our neck of the woods. You know, when we were talking earlier, you were telling me that there were certain key politicians that we need to hit up. Who should the War Room Posse be calling? Whose offices do they need to call? We have the Bill Blaster app. There'll be notifications going out tonight. Who needs to hear this and who needs to be speaking up as this goes forward over the next four days?
E
Well, I mean, this is a bill coming out of House Armed Services and the Senate Armed Services Committee. So Republican members on those committees probably just need to say this is not the vehicle for this. Okay. This is a unifying bill that's negotiated for a year or at least for nine months to get to this point. That's why it normally has overwhelming support. You don't take something this divisive, this electric and this problematic and stick it in the back room in the last minute. Because what's going to happen is this, when those data centers continue to get built out, the electricity rates shoot up. That's going to be on ads that run against you in the fall. And it will resonate, it will sting, and this effort will be seen as the big tech giveaway. I'm just saying, straight up, that you can choose to either go along with an industry that is going to fund whoever wins and switch sides, like they did this recently with Trump. They were on the other side before. They will switch sides to what side serves them, the people who have been involved in this movement. They're the ones that need to stand up and say, you know what, Mr. President, we agree with you. Let's make a big discussion on a federal standard as soon as possible so we can then preempt wacky states. Fine. But that's not what's happening. This is a vacuum that's being created on protection so that the companies can monetize on the backs of our children, on the backs of our creators and copyrighted works. All these things are happening to enable a very small few to control more power. And there's no guarantee they're going to be loyal to any agenda. So I think that the president is being faucied on this issue from inside the White House, as I might say. So. And I think that needs to get before it comes too late, it needs to get dealt with. So having said that, straight up, the Republicans need to be reached out to are the Republican members on the House Armed Services Committee and then other, you know, key members in swing districts to say let's not get on the wrong side of a 90% issue.
F
That would be Mike Rogers of Alabama, chair of the the Armed Forces Committee. Yes, Correct.
E
Yep. That would be a chair. Yep.
F
Yep. And Rob Whitman of Virginia, vice chair and chair of the subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces, Scott dejarlay of my own Tennessee, chair of the Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, Trent Kelly of Mississippi, chair of the subcommittee on Sea Power and Projection Forces, Don Bacon of Nebraska, chair of the Subcommittee on Cyber Information Technologies and Innovation. And Jack Bergman of Mississippi. Sorry, I'm sorry. Of Michigan, chair of the subcommittee on Readiness. So War room posse, take out your number two pencil. That is if you are in Alabama, Mike Rogers, if you are in Virginia, Rob Whitman if you are in my own Tennessee, Scott DesJarlais, if you are in Mississippi, Trent Kelly if you are in Nebraska, Don Bacon. And if you are in Michigan, Jack Bergman. We put the moratorium in the ground before we can definitely do it again. If you would, Tim, where can people find you and where can people keep up with this as it unfolds over the next four days?
E
Well, I mean, so I'm on Twitter W Estes, I'm on LinkedIn and Estesai and you'll find a lot of people, I would say follow the Institute for Family Studies that's been out there leading on the polling that I've been alluding to that show like dead to Rights. The wrong side of this issue is giving amnesty to industry. And I think that look at what Heritage has put out. Look at what various other conservative organizations, Ethics and Public Policy center, the long standing traditional national security and pro family right are not on board with this and never have been. But there's not a voice for them at this table, which is why we're here. We're here saying we're the ones that are going to turn out and keep a majority. And this is being done for issues and ideas that are totally against the interest of most Americans. So I think we're at a really critical moment here. And I want to say very directly that like, we are here to see this presidency be successful and not end up in two years of crisis and negotiations and crisis and investigations starting in 2027.
F
Amen, brother. I really, really appreciate you coming on. Thank you so much.
E
Totally.
F

You know, I didn't know this until the the guys at Field of Greens, the doctors and the experts told me about it and then gave me information was fascinating. We have two ages, our actual age and our body's internal biological age. Additionally, what I didn't know is I've likely lowered my biological age without even knowing it. Here's the thing. Because Americans eat so many processed and ultra processed foods and not enough fruits and vegetables, many, perhaps most, are 10 years older on the inside than their actual their actual age. They're ticking time bombs. A major university study suggests how to slow aging and diffuse that biological time bomb. Participants slowed their aging by drinking Field of Greens. That's all. They didn't change their eating, drinking or exercise. Just Field of Greens. I feel great knowing Field of Greens can slow how quickly I'm aging and I encourage you to join me.

Action Steps & Key Targets (40:06):
"This is not just a Texas story. This...will impact the entire United States of America and potentially be the...deciding factor as to whether President Trump gets four full years...or is stymied with impeachment and non-stop oversight..."

— Brian Harrison (B, 09:24)
"The chances that Jordanian, Egyptian or some other Arab country...going in and taking weapons away from Hamas are zero...now Israel's in a worse position..."
— Rabbi Pesach Wolicki (D, 23:31)

This episode emphasizes the high political stakes of the Texas redistricting battle, viewing it as a proxy for national power struggles and the fate of Trump's legislative agenda. It blends concerns over alleged Islamic expansion in Texas with debate on U.S.-Israel relations and sovereignty, then pivots to urgent warnings about AI regulation—portraying Big Tech as an existential threat and rallying listeners to pressure lawmakers against ceding state control. Notable are the episode's apocalyptic, combative tone and its frequent direct calls to political action.
