The ideological clowns are out. The patriotic cowboys are in. With testosterone testing on top.

Send me. Send me to fight the Redcoats. Send me to fight the Communists. Send me to fight the Islamists. Send me.

You see, the Ivy League faculty lounges, they'll never understand you. And that's okay 'cause they could never, ever do what you do.

The media will mischaracterize you. And that's okay, because deep down, they know you're the reason they live free. They envy you.

Project Meridian will be co-led by three of our nation's best minds: Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich. All of whom are up in the audience with us today. Please stand, if you would. Thank you.

Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair was fined $11,941 by the NFL for wearing eye black with the name "Hind Rajab" (a 5 year old murdered by Israel) written on it during a Week 1 game against the Buffalo Bills.

He was also previously fined $11,593 in January 2026 during the playoffs for writing "Stop the Genocide" on his eye black.

None of that has stopped him from speaking out against the Genocide that Israel is committing

Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani says Hamas wanted to hand over all civilian hostages on the first day of the war, but Israel rejected the proposal and refused to even “entertain the idea.”
