And why do you think you won and some others, sadly? I mean, we saw what happened to Ken Pax and we saw what happened to Governor Abbott.

Well, I will tell you, first of all, you're not nearly as happy about it as I am.

Did you cry? Were you in tears of joy? Absolutely not.

I just appreciated when my rural counties came online and brought us home.

But I will tell you, yeah, we won.

There's probably a list in my mind's eye of maybe 10 congressional districts that Tallarico won, and yet we won.

Some of us were incumbents.

Why was it a split ticket?

What are your next steps?

Well, the next steps are to decide who in the next Congress will be members.

We'll lose some.

They ran for higher office.

They retired.

We'll lose some.

We'll gain some.

How does it get started?

What are your next steps?

Well, the next steps are to decide who in the next Congress will be members.

We'll lose some.

How does it get started?

Please tell us a little bit about what it does and why it needs to be fixed at this moment.

Well, it stops the 55,000 visas going to underrepresented nations.

And frankly, it is diversity.

The title tells you everything.

It is a diversity move that we don't need to have.

What we want is people who we want to have in our nation, the people who are going to contribute to our economy.

that are going to contribute to our research, that are going to assimilate into our culture, that are going to truly be adherents to the U.S. Constitution, who are going to assimilate.

And for early home buyers who want to get into the market at an earlier time, how important is it to have a federal standard and start to work towards something that would open up new types of housing and not have an ideological building code at its core?

But I think about El Sayed and in Michigan, the Democratic candidate there with even though he says he doesn't have ties to Muslim brother and his sister says the family does.

Well, it stems from my military service.

I was in Egypt.

I was in Afghanistan.

I was in the Gulf for Iraqi freedom.

I worked with the IDF while I was in Germany, worked directly with them.

So I see what's happening in North Texas and, frankly, across America, the growth of Islam.

There's some people that are quite extreme on the other side.

It's vitally important.

And for early homebuyers who want to get into the market at an earlier time, how important is it to have a federal standard and start to work towards something that would open up new types of housing and not have an ideological building code at its core?

But I think about El Sayed and in Michigan, the Democratic candidate there with even though he says he doesn't have ties to Muslim brother and his sister says the family does.

There's some people that are quite extreme on the other side.

But I want to hear how it's come about from your perspective.

Well, the young man was actually arrested on October the 5th.

We were notified several days later that they thought it was a minor threat.

written warning to us that it was a serious threat with me as the target.

But by that time the young man was in custody so we were in no real danger.

But it was a real attempt.

A young man had been radicalized in my hometown and he had acquired a weapon and that's what I believe led the FBI to move against him.

What's the purpose and what are you looking forward to in the future? I?

Tell me why you signed up and what you did and how much you love this country and what it means to you, keeping it safe and protecting it.

Well, that's exactly why I do what I do today, because I went to West Point from Amarillo.

I first started out in the 82nd Airborne Division.

I had several tours with the 82nd to include a combat tour.

I went to the 10th Special Forces Group, the Green Berets, served with them.

I was with the 4th Infantry Division with a tank brigade.

Those were my tactical assignments, five or six tactical assignments.

So, Congressman Self, when did you learn about the plot to assassinate you, which is unbelievable to even say? When did you learn about the plot? What did the FBI tell you? What was your reaction? What happened at that point up until when we learned yesterday afternoon that this happened? The FBI had arrested a 17-year-old who pledged to ISIS from McKinney in your district.

But do you believe it's coincidence or not that the target was you? Because I don't know of anybody that's been more vocal about the Islamicization of America and Texas than you've been.

Well, as you laid out, here's a 17-year-old with a weapon, and I think that's when the FBI moved on him, radicalized in McKinney.

So you know what's going on in McKinney.

McKinney has got this idea of the mosque that hundreds of citizens turned out to talk to the city council about.

So if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck, Mark.

So I don't think it's coincidence.

This is what happens when you allow this political ideology that is totally incompatible with the U.S. Constitution to enter your culture.

Is that overstated or do you agree with that view?

CONGRESSMAN, WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW.

David, I call it one of the existential threats to the U.S. Constitution.

When you look at the 55 Muslim nations around the world, most of them were conquered exactly as they are trying in the United States today, through infiltration, take power at the local level, move up to the national level, and then they've got the nation, and then they control the individual, they control the family, they control the city and the nation.

That's what they're doing here today.

AND IT WILL CONTROL OUR PURSE WHICH MEANS THEY CAN SHUT THIS COUNTRY DOWN FOR TWO YEARS AND WHILE WASHINGTON BURNS POINT THEIR FINGERS AT While this red-green alliance rises to power, as we're seeing it in every major city in America, this is the fight for our lives as a nation, right?

David, people say every election is the most important in our lifetime.

We are well beyond that.

This election is for the soul and the heart of America.

Do you think that Texas voters, in about a month's time, they're gonna be flirting hard enough with James Talarico that he would actually get elected?

Well, let me, let me start with this.

We are in a dog fight in Texas, and everybody needs to be aware of it.

Republicans need to turn out because this election will turn on turnout.

Uh, but having said that, yes, I believe that Texas will stay red.

Uh, look, he is who he is.

He's backing away from all of his previous statements, all of his previous stances.

Yeah.

That was in the military back in 2009.

Tony, you're exactly right.

Americans need to wake up.

We are losing Texas today to Islam.

It's spreading across the United States.

I have no idea why this is not more of an election, uh, issue across the country.

In my polling in my district, it's number two.

Um, this could be a- a big game changer in the Middle East, and not for the good.

They're going to go probably further to the left if they get elected, right?

Well, we already see it in the Democrat Party.

They're being controlled by their left wing, the progressive left wing.

Now we're talking about DSA.

Let's just be clear.

These guys are communists.

So the communists are saying they're going to control the Democrat Party.

Anything else you want to tell the American people on a Friday night?

They're gonna go probably further to the left if they get elected, right?

Well, we already see it in the Democrat Party.

They're being controlled by their left wing, the progressive left wing.

Now we're talking about DSA.

Let's just be clear.

These guys are communists.

Uh, so they are gonna-- They're-- The communists are saying they're gonna control the Democrat Party.

Anything else you want to tell the American people on a Friday night?

Right.

Well, we already see it in the Democrat Party.

They're being controlled by their left wing, the progressive left wing.

Now we're talking about DSA.

Let's just be clear.

These guys are communists.

So the communists are saying they're going to control the Democrat Party.

Anything else you want to tell the American people on a Friday night?

So first, tell us how you caught on to this issue and why did you think it merited its own caucus?

I don't know why, but probably two or three years ago, the Muslim clerics in the United States went on the offense.

They started openly preaching sedition against the United States.

We will change the US Constitution.

We will make the institutions of the United States Congress presidency, on and on, Muslim.

And we also saw in Texas, because Chip Roy and I are both Texans, we also saw that Texas is ground zero for this.

Dearborn, Michigan, everybody knows about.

If you haven't heard of the Patriot Act, go ahead and take a

Walk me through how you've arrived at your position on Flock.

Yeah, you bet, Michael.

It's a great question.

First of all, I need to go out to the 30,000-foot level.

The surveillance state in the U.S. is real.

We've had the conversation about the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

There is no warrant when they start surveilling a U.S. citizen.

How do we take on this rapid Islamification?

And if you would, just before we dive in, Just for our viewers and listeners who might not be intimately familiar with this particular issue, would you mind giving us some backstory, just a general backstory of what actually occurred in McKinney?

Well, the specifics are that this mosque has been there for years now.

They wanted to expand it dramatically to like 40,000 square feet.

But the Planning and Zoning Commission said that was too much, so they cut it down all the way to 32,000.

So I'm not sure the 8,000 difference, but they approved that.

So...

This sits at the corner of a housing development that has one entrance.

Can you help people piece together how the majority of the constituents there in Dearborn were able to navigate, how they were able to navigate the legal framework of the United States and how you and the work that you're doing is in hopes and effort to fight against that becoming a possibility in Texas?

What concerns you about all of this, and what should the American people be looking at here?

Well, what concerns me is that they are winning.

The communists are winning the red-green alliance because they are aligned now to take down the United States and the U.S. Constitution.

They have nothing in common other than their desire to take down the United States.

That is their common theme.

Do you think the Aquarius for Palestine would go to Palestine? They'd be thrown off the top of the building.

They have nothing in common.

How big of a deal is that in your state?

Talk to us about it and what you want to see done.

I believe the 17th Amendment is probably the worst amendment that was ever passed because it changed the whole tenor of the federal government.

Now, the House of Representatives, where I serve, answers to the people every two years.

The people elect us directly.

The Senate, as it was originally designed, was meant to be the sovereign state's voice in D.C., Think about that.

The state legislatures would would select the senators.

Obviously, the state legislatures were elected by the people.

What are you hearing from your constituents about this, and how important would this be to restoring the Second Amendment?

So tell me, what did they do wrong and why is a recall for Mayor Bill Cox and three city council members called for?

First of all, let's start with the macro, the big picture.

The Islamization of Texas is accelerating, Mark, and we can talk about that in detail.

76% of all American Muslims prefer Sharia law to the U.S. Constitution by survey.

So that's the broader picture, and we can talk about that.

But frankly, the recall petition is more than the mosque.

The citizens of McKinney have for years thought that the city council ignored them on the airport vote.

So what choice did we have? If that was the view of anybody on council, what would your reply be?

How concerned are you, sir, about radical Islam and radical communists teaming up in this country?

Uh, well, I'm very concerned about it because you've outlined it very well.

The communists have nothing in common with the, uh, Islamicist, uh, the Islam, the jihadists.

They have nothing in common except the will to take down Western civilization, and that's what we're talking about.

And Western civilization in the United States is embodied in the US Constitution, the single law that everything else flows from, the US Constitution and our constitutional republic.

I'm very concerned.

North Texas is ground zero for the growth of Islam in the United States, the Islamization of the United States.

... endeavor, do we?

Does the law prohibit you from passing a law that would require local police to get a warrant

as well? That's a great question that you bring up.

I am not tackling the constitutionality of flock cameras.

I'm simply saying I am concerned about the federal surveillance state that is growing.

We've had this discussion in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Get a warrant before you get electronic communications.

We now have this.

But you have to ask yourself, you've got leaders in some of these cities that are really overstepping their bounds of where they're putting these cameras in front of churches, as you mentioned, in gymnasiums, and in front of gun shops,
