Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, seven twenty one, once again Bob France sitting in
for Jimmy this morning. Governor Abbott on Tuesday tweeted the
following Today, I designated the Muslim Brotherhood and Council on
American Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations.
This bans them from buying or acquiring land in Texas
and authorizes the Attorney General to sue to shut them down.
(00:23):
A lot of people are really welcoming of this order
and this declaration and one person who might be particularly
affected by it is Texas Congressmanship Roy Because he wants
to be said attorney general. He joins us now here
on Houston's Morning News. Congressman, good morning, did do you guys?
Good morning, Good to have you, Thanks so much. So
let's start right there, because this is a pretty direct,
(00:45):
directly impactful situation now that the governor has declared care
and the Muslim Brotherhood is foreign terrorist orgs. If you
are the attorney general, how would you approach that heading.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
In You know, first of all, is great news that
the governor took this step. You know a lot of
us have been watching this very carefully, some of us
for longer than others and have been concerned about it.
You know, I've introduced legislation to deal with this, and
have given a number of speeches in Washington about this topic.
And as I've noted to a few folks, the last
(01:16):
substantive conversation that I had with Charlie Kirk was about
this issue and about the extent to which we're not
taking it seriously enough. And by this issue, I mean
the Islamification of Texas and of America. It's a planned
activity care is neck deep in it. The Council and
American Islamic Relations what they call themselves, but they're often
(01:37):
they're really front for the funneling of funds and the
activists that are trying to reshape and remake America in
a corbissory law and direct contradiction to our laws. So
the governor's right to do this gives significant tools to
the Attorney General to be able to sue, to be
able to stop the development of communities like the East
Plano Islamic Center. You know, we call it epic. We've
(01:59):
obviously got the Islamic Centered down in Houston that is
concerning and other significant growth across the state. But it
really is the flow of money and a radicalized network that's,
you know, a mix of the Marxist Islamic agenda that
we're seeing unfold with Mamdani in New York, in Dearborn, Michigan,
in Minneapolis, and you know what we already see happening
in London, Paris, Germany and places in Europe. So we've
(02:21):
got a lot we need to do. This is not
a front to the First Amendment. You can believe whatever
you want to believe, but it is something that we
need to take seriously with respect to stopping a political
agenda to underwune our way of life and force essentially
the Islamification of our country and the governor's right to
do this. But we've got many many more miles to go.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Obviously, anytime you even talk like this, and I know
because I talk like this, we're called islamophobes. What is
your response to people saying you are just being bigoted
against people for their religion.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, go look at the facts, and go look at
what's happening with the organizations like CARE, the leadership of CARE,
and by the way, I introduced legislation to take away
their tax status, their C three status, and I've introduced
legislation to say that we need to vent people for
their adherence to Sharia law because Sharia law contradicts our laws.
In Scotland, for example, there are eighty five jurisdictions where
(03:17):
you can choose either Sharia law or Scottish law. That's insane.
We can't have that in America. The governor's right to
point out that there's some Sharia courts here, and he
sent a letter to the Collin County District Attorney in
Dallas and the sheriffs up there and said, guys, you
go look into this and you'll have my backing as governor.
But you know, the fact is, you look at Care.
You've got leadership at Care that are affiliated with terrorist organizations.
(03:40):
You have an unindicted co conspirator from the Holy Land
Foundation case which was in Dallas Fort Worth about twenty
years ago, where they shut them down with a direct
tide of terrorist activities. Some of their leadership were celebrating
the October seventh atrocities in Israel from two years ago,
and there was a report that came out two days ago,
and there's so many reports, but this one tied them
to a lot of the activity of the student efforts
(04:02):
that were terrorizing our Jewish friends in the United States
on college campuses over the last several years. And there's
just numerous other examples, and the governor laid those out.
People just need to study what's actually happening. Don't hide
behind the First Amendment. Celebrate the First Amendment about you know,
the government not coming in and tell you what to think.
But you can't have a politically motivated efforts that is
(04:25):
coming into undo our culture and undo our country and
not recognize it for what it is. You have to
speak about it. You have to do it unafraid.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Congressman Ship Roy is our guest. He is running for
Attorney General. Sir, you want to be the top cop
in the state of Texas. So let's talk about cops
for a moment, particularly here in Houston. There was just
a leaked report from a member of council that wants
to tell police they don't have to cooperate with ice
anymore in the city of Houston. I'm not saying this
is policy, but this is something that is being proposed.
(04:54):
What message do you have for police all over Texas?
You know, local police, county sheriffs, police and their responsibility
to cooperate with ICE in the Deportation task Force that
the President has set forth.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, clearly, law enforcement throughout the state of Texas need
to cooperate with ICE, and to the extent that local
officials and some of our cities are getting in the
way of that, the state needs to make sure they
step in an act in imcordance with Texas law and
in cooperation with federal law to make sure that we're
able to adhere to it, and if we need to
change our law, then we should do it. As Attorney General,
I'm going to ensure that happens. I'm going to come
(05:27):
into cities. I'm going to shame the city leadership. I'm
going to make sure I use the bully pulpit so
that everybody in the community knows that local leaders want
to endanger their streets and want to side with the
lawless inside of the gangs, inside of the people that
murdered Joscelyn Nungray and games like Trende Arragua, that they
side with them rather than the folks that want to
have safe streets. I'll be pushing for marsher and stronger
(05:50):
legislation to make sure that our cities can't buck the
legislature and ensuring that our streets are safe. And importantly,
we're going to follow the money. We're going to break
down these radical leftists and Marxists that are funding these
George Soros funded district attorneys, city council members, people that
(06:11):
are judges. That is a coordinated effort, along with significant
national international organizations and funding coming from not just Soros,
but large groups like Arabella, which is a front for
democratic democratic operatives, and all of these are interconnected. The
groups that were dumping people into our streets, the two
(06:31):
hundred and fifty groups that we're exploiting open borders, all
of it is coordinated. We're going to follow the money
and we're going to break that down. I'm having conversations
with our Department of Justice, Department of Treasury officials here
in DC. I'm going to work on it harder the
next year, and then when i'm Attorney general, We're going
to stop these radical networks that I believe are breaking
the law in an organized fashion and they need to
(06:52):
be prosecuted for what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Congressman, last question for you, listen is about Congress, not
about ag Your thoughts on the video that was put
out by some of your colleagues, six Democrat former military
or intelligence agency officials telling active duty military personnel, you
don't have to listen to your commander in chief. You're
a secretary of War, the Department, or the Pentagon. You
(07:15):
can do what you want to do as long as
you think the rule might not be lawful, or excuse me,
the order might not be lawful.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, I mean it was obviously out of affronts to
the law, as the President said, and he referred to
it as sedition, conspiracy, and treason. And look, the fact is,
these are individuals who are letting their trunk arrangement syndrome
overtake common sense and the rule of law. Look, the
commander in chief, the president is in charge of the
(07:45):
military and the president of the United States. He's doing
everything openly and clearly. Pete hag Seth, I mean, this
is just just craziness that these people are spewing out.
They're not doing anything that is beyond the law. They're
working with local law enforcement officials, working with federal officials
military supporting activities. They're not going around arresting anybody than
(08:07):
doing anything that's contrary to our law. I assure you, remember, Congress,
we'd be highlighting those things, and so for these officials
to go out and do that, they're trying to stir
things up in a way that is contrary to the
law and undermining the Constitution. It's offensive, it's ridiculous, but
that's just where we are, and so we're going to
keep moving forward and keep doing the things we're doing
to make our country safer, secure, and more strong despite
(08:27):
Democrat resistance.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Congressman ship Roy, thank you so much. We appreciate it, sir,
Hey appreciate y'all. Y'all take care. Thanks Jim chip Roy
