Welcome to Securing America with me, Frank Afney. The program that's a kind of owner's manual for protecting the country we love against all enemies, foreign and domestic, to the glory of God and His kingdom. We're going to be talking about, first and foremost, the war now underway in and around Iran, but involving some other nations, including Communist China. Foreign power that has a very keen interest in the outcome of this affair. I'm going to give you a little bit of background before we talk to someone who knows both countries intimately. Communist China is seeking to mediate a cessation of hostilities with Iran and, if possible, save its puppet regime there. The transparent ulterior motive, however, is to ensure continued Chinese access to Iranian oil exports. That agenda has become critical with President Trump's successful removal of Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro and his subsequent control over that other main supplier of oil for the Chinese Communist Party. Suddenly, the tables have turned on Xi Jinping, who is using his monopoly on processed rare earth minerals and dumping of US treasuries to extract concessions from Mr. Trump and erode the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency. It remains to be seen how the president will wield his newfound leverage over our mortal enemy, the ccp. But Donald Trump now has the option of checkmating Xi's ambition to seize Taiwan and otherwise threaten America. Well, we are going to turn to a man who has come to my attention, and we've had him on the program in the recent past. His name is Abtin Vaziri. He is a man who hails originally from Iran. He migrated to this country when he was about nine years old. He has been, as a result, living the American dream. Very successful serial entrepreneur, an attorney by training, and a man who has done, among other things, a lot of business with China over the years as well. Consequently, who better than he to talk about what's going on with respect to both of these countries and the prospects that we will see the president navigating the challenges before us successfully with both. I want to just mention that ABTeam was in the recent Republican primary, a candidate for the 32nd district of Congress. Sorry to say he did not prevail in that race. But he is now going to be, I'm quite sure, an even more impactful figure in working through many of these kinds of public policy issues. And we are very pleased to welcome him back to Securing America. Thank you for joining us, ept, and for all your help in recent days, among other things, with Prop 10, which we're going to talk about in a little bit. But first, let me ask you about what's going on in Iran now, as you see it, the state of the war there and the prospects for an end to the horrific regime that you experienced firsthand that has been horrifically oppressing the people of that country, but also threatening ours.
D
Well, Frank, thank you so much for having me on. I think, you know, what's going on in Iran is interesting, is, you know, a lot of people thought that if you get some of these leaders in the Islamic Republic to basically go away, that, you know, the regime itself, the irgc and, and, you know, they're, you know, entrenched part of the regime would fall. And in the last few days, I've seen people, you know, talk about the Artesh versus the irgc, the IRGC is kind of the, the loyal guard that was created by these crazy Islamists to watch over the regular military. The regular military is called attach, which is military. My father was part of that attach. You know, he was in the Air Force. So the Air Force, army, Navy, those are the attached. And then the IRGC is basically like the, the Nazi SS that keeps an eye on their military to make sure they don't, you know, do anything to overthrow the government. One of the things that people don't realize one of the reasons so many people died in an Iran Iraq war is that the leadership, you know, was, was a hundred thousand or so military officers in Iran were purged, were killed. And those are part of the Artesh. So one, the military wasn't ready when Iraq attacked. And two, the army, the mullahs didn't trust the army to move troops to the border Iraq because they thought a lot of the troops were actually on the, on the eastern border Iran, when Iraq attacked. And they thought if those troops move through the city to go to the western side to fight the Iraqi front, that they were going to overthrow the mullah. So the mullah sat there and allowed a lot of people get killed by the Iraqis just because they were trying to survive and save themselves. And it was weird because the air force was fighting the army of Iraq, so they were flying all kinds of sorties on F4s, fighting the Iraqis to not allow the Iraqis. So so many people died senselessly because the mullahs didn't try trust the regular military, the Arash. And this is just stuff that people, you know, people don't know about. But today, and by the way, mind you, this is why, you know, Prop 10 is so important. The powers that be, the Muslim Brotherhood, the evildoers that wanted to destroy Iran, Iran had the fourth largest military in the world, the fourth most powerful military in the world, right after the United States, France and England. So number four was Iran. Today we saw how that military is just a hollow and the United States and Israel, the two most, you know, powerful air forces in the world. And by the way, Iran had like the third or fourth most powerful air force in the world at the time, but they just completely destroyed Iran's military. They sunk every ship like it was nothing. And the fact that these mullahs, I mean the IRGC and the thugs have survived, that tells you that they're getting leadership from somewhere. And that somewhere is, is China. China cannot afford Iran to fall because President Trump has just masterfully like, you know, really navigated this. He really understands how important it is to secure the oil. And all of this with Venezuela. And Iran has really been about oil and it's really been about China. And President Trump is basically masterfully navigating and saying, okay, we're going to control 70% of China's energy flow. We're not going to cut them off as long as China plays nice in international community there. Now, you know, in Iran, it's interesting, you know, the whole reason that these crazy Islamists even got a foothold in Iran. You know, they got in and, you know the history of it. We could talk four shows about this. But, but the history of this is the previous dynasty, before the Pahlavi dynasty, which, you know, Reza Shah was the first king, then Muhammad Reza Shah, now his son Reza Shah II is the most popular figure by far amongst Iranians inside and outside Iran. But before that there was a Gajar dynasty. It was another kingdom and the Gajar dynasty was so corrupt. And the British really had control over the Raja dynasty and they kept using the Ar dynasty to just, you know, take over all the natural resources. The British didn't like that. This, you know, Pahlavi dynasty, Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah was so friendly with the United States and the British always just didn't like that and wanted to overthrow them. And finally they succeeded. And so the mullahs are really just a continuation of the Qajar dynasty because France and England really unleashed this, this Islamic terror on us. And then they're so incompetent that they handed it all over to China. President Trump is so smart and he really masterfully understands that, that he's getting this back and he's getting America to be the most powerful country in the world again, to control the oil resources, to control the Middle east oil resources. And this has all been about China. And, and the crazy part is, you know, all of these Islamists would say, oh, you know, us, US has so many companies inside Iran and US is ripping us off. Well, these guys just handed all the oil and gas to China. In fact, I don't know if people realize, but Iran signed Islamic Republic, not Iran signed a $400 billion oil contract with China, where it's a 10 year contract. $400 billion of Iranian oil goes to China. In response, China basically sells Iran all of its surveillance technology to make sure that Iran becomes the most surveilled country in the world. So China gets to sell its, its surveillance technology. In return, it gets oil. And they wanted to use Iran as part of the Silk Road to get access to Europe, and President Trump masterfully cut all that off.
C
Well, it'll be fascinating to see how he plays this hand out in the days to come. I concerned that the Chinese are preparing to act on their long standing designs about Taiwan. And if, if this masterful bit of jiu jitsu can help prevent that, it's a, it's a very, very important aspect of this larger military campaign. We have to take a short break. We'll be right back with more and we're going to talk about Proposition 10 and the state of Texas and Sharia right after this. Foreign.

C
We're back. We had thought we would be continuing our conversation with ABTeam, but we had technical difficulties and couldn't be more pleased to have in his stead another great freedom fighter in the state of Texas. We're showcasing several of them in the course of this program, and she is one of my favorites. Her name is Cindy Castilla. She is the president of the Texas chapter of a wonderful organization founded by an old and very dear friend of mine, Phyllis Schlafly, called Eagle Forum. And she is one of the foremost leaders of that grassroots organization, but really, I would say, of grassroots America. And she has been intimately involved in the fight for Proposition 10. Among other things, she had a lot of other fishes that she was frying, if you will, during this busy primary season. But I'm so deeply grateful to you, Cindy, for all that you did to make this particular proposition both a priority and a wild success. Before we get to all of that, just tell us a little bit about Eagle Forum, what you do, how you do it, and why it did make a contribution in all of this.
E
Okay. And, I mean, Frank, you're the greatest leader on this stuff, and you've been teaching us about this problem for as long as I've known you, which I know is 10 or 15 years. And we appreciate that. So Eagle Forum is grassroots. We're conservative because we do start with, like, constitutional biblical principles, but we focus on things that impact families, and it turns out everything impacts families. So we stay very, very busy. We generally were nonpartisan. Officially, we generally are aligned with the Republican Party, and they are a grassroots UP party. And in Texas, that's very much so. So that. That's how we're set up, is get the grassroots to learn an issue, care about an issue, fight for an issue, and get it done.
A
So.
E
So that's what we do. And we've been teaching them about Islam. We've. We've gotten some smaller bills passed that now need to be updated. In the past, with your help, you know, very, very important to us. But. But now we've got to get people to understand how critical this is. So that is what we are helping to do. But we need people's help.
C
Well, so surely do. But one thing I just wanted to make sure was impressed upon our audience, Cindy, is that the people who were familiar with what Sharia is and what it or portend were it to become an even bigger force in Texas, voted overwhelmingly to prohibit it. What is the greatest challenge, as you see it, to increasing the numbers of people who have that kind of understanding of this problem?
A
Okay.
E
It's getting them, number one, just to open their eyes and being willing to acknowledge. Some people just want to be blind. They don't want to know that there's something tremendously risky, horrible, would be terrible ahead of them. And so they may not want to be looking. So we've got to find ways in our everyday conversations with friends, family, relatives, neighbors. If you've got, if you have, you're walking a dog. Have conversations with people in the street. If you have followers, start educating them. Share some stories of impact of Sharia law and Islamic law on people across the world. The Islamic nations have no freedom. Those people, they, they have no freedom. Women, women have no consequential rights in Islamic countries. And this will come to America. They're trying. In Virginia, they tried to pass a law on outlawing being Islamophobic. That is thought police, that is free speech police. And it didn't pass, but it's not going away there either. So our legislators have to understand the problem. The people are getting it. Legislators are starting, they're asking questions. But some of them operate in fear. And we've got to, you know, we're not threatening them, but we need them to understand that they have to have some fear of voters who are not going to tolerate them not working very, very hard to curtail stuff we've already done to push back and to make laws that protect our state.
C
Well, this is such a no brainer, really, especially when you see the kind of outcome there. And I neglected to say specifically in this particular program, out of 2 million responses to the question, should basically Texas prohibit Sharia law? 1.9 million of them said yes. That's about 95% of the poll in this particular instance. And I guess the question to you, Cindy, is as you work the grassroots political scene, you are uniquely positioned, you and your team, of course, to help do what seems to me to be a critical next step, which is making sure that this vote has impact in the election ahead now going into November, specifically by making sure that every, the person standing for office basically is asked the question, where do you stand on Sharia? Are you okay with it continuing to essentially subvert this state and elsewhere in the country as well? Of course. Or do you stand for its prohibition? Is that part of your agenda and that of Eagle Forum Texas going forward?
E
Ma', am, we do that in vetting meetings. We have done it already with a lot of people on the ballot. But yes, we will try to meet with elected officials, the ones that have won their primary and the ones that are still looking to win one if they're In a runoff, we will speak to them. And I tell you, you know, it's something everybody needs to do. People need to do that themselves. Call if you already know who's going to be on the ballot, call them, ask them what they think about this. You'll find a lot of times they start with, well, I've got a lot of friends or I work with Muslims and they're so nice, and I mean, we have to combat those things at the get go. And I just say, you know, yes, sir. And they're in more danger, they're in danger sooner than I'm in danger as this rises. If they're not complying, if they're Muslim and claim to be part of this Islamic group and they're not following this to a T, they're going to be asked to do that first, and that puts even you, as their friend, in danger. But if they don't follow it, they, they could be dead. That's. That's the first rule. Yes.
C
So, Cindy, one other piece of this that I just wanted to check with you on is the extent to which the public is being disinformed about some of the tenets of Sharia that are so troubling. You alluded to. If you're out walking your dog, talk to people about this. Talk to them, especially if they've got a dog that, you know, Sharia supremacists would take their dogs away and kill them, for example. But to what extent do you find the arguments most persuasive that people need to hear to correct their misapprehensions? For example, is Sharia. Excuse me, Is Sharia a religion?
E
Sharia is an. Is Islamic law. And if you look at the Islamic countries, you absolutely see that they have to follow tenets of law in every part of their life. It is not confined to a mosque that we know more about mosques. We know that they're, they're centers of, for setting up attacks and war and, and they're teaching things that are contrary to our constitution and to our way of life. So, so part of the pushback is. No, they're peaceful. They say they're peaceful. Well, if you look at their plans, you look at history, we have so much evidence that they're playing their game step by step by step to take over a nation. And we are the target, and Texas is the target because we're conservative. If they can get us to fall, they can get anybody and everybody to fall. So you just have to take them one by one. If you're speaking to a woman, let them know that their rights are subjugated, that men are marrying for women and children.
C
Yeah, they sure are. These are the kinds of grassroots techniques that I think brought us victory decisively in this Proposition 10 vote. And we're going to need them even more, frankly, both in Texas and across this country. And I know you and your counterparts in Eagle Forum will be bringing all of those skill sets to bear. Cindy Castilla, and we so appreciate you. How do people learn more about your organization? It's our website.
E
We're online@texaseagleforum.com we have a website. We do have a dropdown Islam section and they can go there. Or TexasEasef on Twitter Bansharia.com as well.
A

C
Foreign. Welcome back and we are visiting at this point I'm delighted to say with Dr. Karen Sigeman, the president of the American Freedom alliance, wonderful organization based out in Los Angeles, California. She has had a lifetime of experience working on behalf of our country in various capacities. A freedom fighter through and through and we owe much to her because Karen was the original impetus behind bringing Dutch parliamentarian and another great freedom fighter, Geert Wilders to the United States in early January, in the course of which he participated in what proved to be a catalytic program that took place on the 9th of January with not only his own presentation that was marvelous, but also those of Steve Bannon and Glenn Beck. And Karen, I just want to say thank you for all that you do and particularly for forward deploying to Texas with us for this Proposition 10 vote. Proposition 10 again folks, being this short but very much to the point proposition on the Republican primary ballot. And Karen, I wanted to just catch up with you as you are about to head back to Los Angeles about sort of the impetus that was given to the remarkable turnout and the very, very well, fantastic, I guess is the word for it, results of the vote on the proposition with that first effort on the 9th of January.
A
Yeah, Frank, thank you so much. And being part of this has been such a tremendous honor and opportunity. How it all started, as you note, was I was bringing geared Wilders over to Los Angeles because that's where I am based. And we adore Geard filters, we love all freedom fighters and him especially, he has been beating this drum on if you don't stand up to immigration and the permission that you give to people who are whose everything, whose religion, whose culture, whose ideology is completely counter to ours, that is freedom loving, Democratic and Judeo Christian, if you open the floodgates to them, you will lose your country. So Geert Wilders has been for decades the spokesperson of this, not only against the invasion, but also giving one permission to stand up for one's own culture. This is crucially important. And we reached back out to him because of the election of Mamdami in New York City where 911 happened. Violent jihad at its most despicable. So we brought him out, but Steve Bannon said, great, but Texas is really the battleground for this. And that was the impetus we brought Geert Wilders here. Steve spoke, Glenn Beck spoke and as you note, it was the galvanizing moment, but because people like you took advantage of getting everybody together there and using it as a launch pad to fight against this, to fight for Proposition 10 against Sharia. And Steve had noted. Steve laid down the challenge that evening and said, are you going to fight for your country? And it was just an extraordinary thing. We recognize that if we lose Texas, we lose the nation. And if we lose the nation, we really lose the free world. Because if you're given an opportunity to stand up for freedom and you don't seize it with vigor, what does that say to all the bad guys? Not just the specific bad guys you're fighting against, but all of them. And I think what we did was just an absolutely resounding hell no. We believe in our culture, our society, our rule of law, our sense of freedom, our precepts, our Judeo Christian underpinnings, and we don't want any of the rest coming in. So.
C
Amen.
A
It was quite an event.
C
Yeah, it certainly was. And as you looked at how it played out in the course of the campaign for Prop 10, talk a little bit about some of the most important messaging that seemingly resonated tremendously with the voters who by 95 to 5 margin voted yes to this idea that Sharia should be prohibited in the state of Texas.
A
Well, I think that there's a real understanding, generally speaking, of what an invasion is all about. Again, none of this would have occurred had Epic City not come in, had now known as the Meadows. Had a lot of terrific reporting been done to lay down the groundwork of the extent to which this invasion is already occurring. The number of mosques, 2,000, I believe, in Texas, growing at the rate of dozens before you can blink an eye. Amy Mac has been doing tremendous reporting. You have Peter McElvena about the extent of the incursion, the extent to which Texas and nationwide taxpayers are funding too much of this. I mean, it's a shocking thing. You and I have been speaking about the invasion by China and how we are funding that, the Chinese Communist Party, one way or another through their unrestricted warfare. Jihad is conducted similarly in that it's not always kinetic, it's not always hijacking planes and flying them into buildings. It's not always shooting shootings. It's you can take over a nation not by firing a shot. Mao Sun Tzu had said this. We have been watching that. And I think the messaging that's been happening with you, Amy. Peter, obviously, Steve men, countless, countless others are making the point that you can lose your nation, not necessarily through violent means. And that messaging has been very effective. In addition, we had our Dogs for Freedom event because pointing out one of those main incursions into our societal values. We love our dogs. We treat them. We, we, we, we coddle them. We love them in every imaginable way. And to find that this, quote, religion, and I put it in quotes because it's in fact a political ideology aimed at global dominance wrapped in a religion that it wants to take away your dogs. It sounds so hysterical whenever I say these things. It sounds histrionic and, and hyperbolic and I'm making stuff up. We are not. And again, that Mamdani got elected, I think also was a wake up call. So we've brought all those pieces together. Watching what's happened in Europe, because it's not imagined, it's real. Watching what's been happening here with Epic City, watch what's been happening here with the schools, watching what's been happening throughout the country, these various kinds of invasions. The time to stop it is now. And I believe that we were very, very effective in making all these points in Texas. And I think Texas, this has been said if they went after Texas, because if you get Texas, you get the nation. We knew the exact counterpoint. If we don't save Texas, we lose the nation. And I think Texans understood that implicitly. Whether or not they get the details of what Sharia is or exactly what Islam is, this is an attack on our way of life, on our Judeo Christian values, on our children, on our girls, on our women, on our pets. It's an absolute invasion, an attack and an attempt to subvert Islam means submission. That is not who we are and that is certainly not what Texans are. And it's been marvelous being here in Texas and just breathing the fresh air and being part of this team.
C
Karen? Yeah. A point that we'll drill down on with as it happens. Your senior fellow and one of our most important contributors, Peter McElvan, shortly is this is the playbook that we see operating in Europe.
A
Exactly.
C
Among other places and for that matter, other parts of this country. And I did want to just tie this off with that question to you. We're back. And so I'm delighted to say is one of our friends from across the pond, Peter McElveena, one of our duty experts on the United Kingdom, where he resides, but also the state of the world more generally, it's fair to say, looked at through the perspective of a Brit, yes, but also that of a freedom fighter. Peter works with another great one, Lord Malcolm Pearson in the House of Lords. He co hosts with him a podcast called Hearts of Oak and works there at a think tank of the same name as its executive director. Peter is a senior fellow of our friend Karen Sigeman's wonderful institution about which we were speaking a moment ago, the American Freedom alliance, and has been an incredible ally both in terms of raising awareness about, well, the trajectory that Sharia supremacists have in mind for all of us as it is now being charted by the people of Britain, sadly, but also what it portends for us as well. We'll start with the first With Peter in this first block and the second and the second. Peter, welcome back. It's so good to have you with us.
F
Always good to speak with you, Frank.
C
So give us an update. Peter, you have been warning about the continuing encroachments of Sharia in the United Kingdom, from halal foods to rape gangs to, you know, electoral jihad that has brought into positions of power Sharia supremacists pretty much across the country, as I understand it. What's the latest update for us on that front and why it should matter to Americans?
F
Well, sometimes, Frank, when I join you, I think I'm not sure what else to bring. And then you realize there's so much has happened since we last spoke, every single week, so. And why they should be a concern to Americans is because the UK is an example of what will happen to the US Unless you act sooner. We'll talk about that a little bit later. But in terms of the uk, just over the last week we've had the call to prayer ring out in Old Trafford, which is Manchester United's soccer stadium. Probably one of the most recognizable names in the world, Manchester United, one of the global entities in world football. And it had the call to prayer by the Manchester United Supporters Association. Unified people. This is all about conquest, which Frank, you talked to the viewers, listeners time and time again. And then a day later we had.
C
But just before you leave that, Peter, is that because there were large numbers of Muslims in the stands in the stadium that day or was it just an act of sort of submission?
F
More generally, an act of submission? This is not about now. Where Manchester United are is a strongly Islamic area. But that doesn't correspond into supporters at those football games or the soccer games. That's traditionally been a white working class model of support. So you don't normally have many bearded mullahs appear at the latest soccer games. It is a different world. So it is about submission. Sadly, what we have seen amongst our white liberal elite is utter submission to Islam. And then another.
C
Do you think this will be a feature going forward in these games?
F
Oh, I think so, because just across the way is Liverpool. Manchester Liverpool being the two, I guess, economic powerhouses in the northwest of England. Manchester United, Liverpool football club, the two football entities, soccer entities over the last 40 years, really the two names in English soccer sport, and Liverpool a day later had the same thing. They called to prayer across Anfield, which is the Liverpool Stadium. Once again, this is not about a large Muslim group coming in. This is about the submission and hatred of Englishness and our Heritage and our history, all of that. So we had those two. And then yesterday, I think yesterday I was in. No, no, Tuesday I was in Parliament and they had the iftar, which is the breaking of the fast and for Ramadan. So in Islam, they fast from morning to evening when the sun goes up to when the sun goes down. And, Frank, we would call it skipping lunch. That's generally what we would call it, because when you look at the end of the fast, it is a feast of huge proportions, how much food you can shove into your body. This is not about a fast. This is about indulgence, overindulgence. And, yeah, as we would say, maybe you don't get lunch one day. Islam has a whole ideology based around that. And they broke that fast in Parliament and I was there on Tuesday, didn't have time to hang around. But of course, our pathetic example of a Prime Minister, Keir Stormer, he was there saying how much he cared about Muslims and of course, fitting that into what was happening in Iran and why the UK were not involved in that. So, so many issues happening around that. So that's what we have had just in the last week. And then we are still waiting on the RIP Guy inquiry, the grooming guy inquiry. The government promised, supposedly this month in March, we will have the terms for that inquiry. That's going to cost 60 million, so $80 million it's going to cost. And the victims don't get any of this money. It is simply the legal experts, money in their pockets. It is a disgusting way of seeking supposed justice whenever the girls, the victims, of which they're up to a million of them, don't get anything. So we. Yeah, so we are in a mess in the UK in terms of lack of identity, in terms of lack of anchor, of what we mean as a culture, as a history. And into that void, we have let Islam come into our huge sporting stadiums and into Parliament.
C
Yeah, Peter, just very quickly, we've got to take a break. At the bottom the this minute,
A
the
C
thing that is most extraordinary to my way of thinking, honestly, and I wondered whether it's going to be part of this investigation and we'll find out. On the other side of this short break is the government of Britain at the local and higher levels apparently was aware of what was happening to all these girls and did essentially nothing about it. We'll find out from Peter why that could possibly be and its implications on the other side of this very short break. Stay tuned. We're back. And so is Peter McElveena, the executive director of Hearts of Oak in the United Kingdom. A wonderful resource for all of us on both sides of the pond. He's a great friend as well as a great freedom fighter. And Peter, we were just leaving our audience with this incredible proposition that we actually have seen the government of the United Kingdom knowing of the rape of maybe as many as a million of its girls, British working class girls mostly, I guess, and not just raped once, but serially raped and exploited sexually, you know, by numbers of men and so on. This is such an outrageous thing. And your friend and Tommy Robinson is in the United States here talking about it. But just remind us how that fits into the larger Sharia agenda and why, especially as we're talking about it making inroads in our country, it is imperative that we understand the threat it represents.
F
Well, this is happening in the uk, in Germany and Sweden and France, and it has to be happening in the US and it will be exposed. And this is the mass rape of white English girls by Muslim Pakistani families. And this has been going on for 50 plus years. The police have turned a blind eye. We've had whole councils, political councils, resign and get voted in again en masse. We've had the police filming dozens and dozens of these girls for hours and then losing all the footage and then telling the girls, if you want to do something, you need to come in and relive that horror again and again. It is perverse, it is sick, it is horrendous what we do to these girls, all in the name of diversity, of not wanting to be called Islamophobic and racist. And therefore we lose this footage, we collapse cases. Many, many cases in the legal system have been actively collapsed. So these men do not come to justice. And we've seen over 500 of them jailed and imprisoned in abysmally short sentences. But I really do believe there are thousands of thousands of others that actually have been kept away by the system and protected. So you need to, for the us, you need to look at what is happening in the uk. This is what Islam does when it begins to dominate, when it begins to put foot by foot, by foot on every institution in society. And we've seen the collapse of our societies out of a fear of Islamophobia. Really?
C
Do you think that could happen here, Peter? And if you could tie this into the importance that you attach to Proposition 10 that has just passed overwhelmingly in Great Britain. Excuse me, Great Britain in Great Texas, Frank.
F
I wish we had a Prop 10 in Great Britain. I will take that as a statement. As a prophetic statement. So I am so excited. 95% of Texans voting for Prop 10 to ban Sharia, to prohibit Sharia in Texas, just under 2 million Texans. It is seismic. It is really seismic. And I did believe this would pass as you did, Frank. I wasn't expecting that large number. A win is a win, but that level of win is phenomenal. And that will, to me, this is the beginning. We've got the whole midterms. This is a line in the sand. This is from Texans saying, we are going to have one law, and that is American law. We are not going to have competing legal systems. Islamic Sharia law has no place in the US and as for Texas, now, we need to have that ripple out and we need every politician to see this as an issue they need to stand on. My, my concern prior to this has been that politicians can skirt it and say, you know, it's the economy and it's immigration from the Republican side. We don't need to hit on Islam. It's not an issue. This is an issue. Texas have spoken. And Texas will be no different to many other states across the US that are concerned at the mass change in their societies through mass immigration from Islamic nations that are changing their areas, changing their communities, and demanding halal food, demanding sharia cords, demanding moss, demanding with madrasas linked to it, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, and then Sharia finance, which will come from above with the financial institutions. So this is massive. And although this is only an advisory proposition, I think, Frank, we both agree that this has massive implications because it demands every politician stands up and looks at this and recognizes the level of frustration with Americans and what is happening with Islamization of America. And they need to speak into this. So I would all your viewers and listeners, I would call on them to make sure you use this and engage with your representative. Tell them this is a vital issue and tell them this has to be a campaign issue for your member wherever they are, at the local level, the national level, this has to be a key area. And of course, Frank, your website, Bansheeray.com fits a lot of these issues in and the people want to go to understand this issue. They just need to go to banter.com
C
well, thank you for the plug, Peter. And just to make it clear, you spoke of the national level. Given what you've been experiencing in Britain, given what you've see taking place here from your visits, your forensic examinations of what's afoot in this country, would you say that it is imperative that similarly, the other states of our union take these kinds of steps as well.
F
100%. So we have seen New York, California and Texas, those are the top three in terms of Islamization, in terms of moss growth, in terms of halal food growth, et cetera, et cetera. And we have issues with New York, of course. We will see what happens. Steve Hilton actually does well in California as a governor. I don't know much about that. I am so excited about what is happening in Texas. And that is a statement to the rest of every state within America that you need to take notice. We know Florida with DeSantis and the great work he is doing in combating that. But then we also know the work that CARE are involved in just because of a proposition. CARE don't actually shut up shop and think actually this is done. The Muslim Brotherhood and their entities, they don't be quiet. We need to fight this day in, day out until the end of these.
C
We must leave it at that with that very important admonition. Thank you, Peter. Come back with much more in the near future. Thanks to all of you. Join us next time. Until then, go forth and multiply.

PROP 10: A MODEL FOR AMERICA
This episode of Securing America offers a detailed, emotive portrait of how energy geopolitics, ideological battles, and grassroots activism are converging at a pivotal moment for American—and Western—identity and policy. Through firsthand accounts, cautionary international case studies, and urgent calls to political engagement, the episode frames the struggle against Sharia law and external influence as central to “protecting the country we love.” Texas’s decisive Prop 10 result is presented not just as a state victory, but as a template for national resistance. The tone is unapologetically urgent and combative, urging listeners to pressure politicians, educate their communities, and heed the warnings from Europe’s recent history.
Key Takeaway:
Securing America paints a dire picture of threats—external and internal—to U.S. sovereignty, culture, and law, urging vigilant grassroots and political action, and championing Texas’s Prop 10 as both rebuke and inspiration for similar movements nationwide.
