Bannon's War Room - Episode 5142： Embracing The Grassroots To Change The Course Of The Country; Civil War In The Texas GOP

00:00:00.000 Islamic Jihadis are plotting against you. 0.96

00:00:11.320 Why in the hell do you think they're in Houston and in the north of Dallas? 0.98

00:00:14.360 They are working together to overthrow Western civilization.

00:00:18.660 Sharia compounds, which are areas governed by religious rules.

00:00:22.320 We know who you are, we know what you are, and we know what you're trying to accomplish,

00:00:27.520 and it is not going to happen in the jewel of the crown of the union of this republic.

00:00:33.260 We purge any attempt to impose Sharia law in Texas.

00:00:36.640 They are not coming. They are already here.

00:00:39.420 You are not here properly, and you're going to leave.

00:00:44.660 On the 3rd of March, Sharia law goes on the ballot in the state of Texas.

00:00:50.280 The United States Constitution and Sharia are fundamentally at odds with one another. 0.99

00:00:54.740 We're going to tell them, take your Sharia law and shove it. 1.00

00:01:00.220 Islam will never dominate the United States, and by the grace of God, it will not dominate Texas. 1.00

00:01:07.120 As Texas goes, so goes the nation. As the nation goes, so goes the world.

00:01:12.880 Are you prepared to fight for this state? Are you prepared to fight for your country?

00:01:17.860 War Room, Texas.

00:01:22.220 Your host, Stephen K. Bannon. Starts right now.

00:01:26.860 Thank you. Friday, 13 February in the year of war, 2026.

00:01:32.120 We've got a packed show today.

00:01:33.660 Luke Macias is going to join us.

00:01:35.140 One of the top political minds in the state.

00:01:38.000 Observers also comes at it with a grassroots perspective.

00:01:41.060 Also, Debbie Georgadas, and she is a sitting member of the Republican National Committee and also a grassroots leader and a media star down here.

00:01:50.520 I want to start with Luke, with Wade Miller.

00:01:54.160 Wade, CRA, talk to me about your experience.

00:01:57.220 You guys have up, and I want people to get access to this, because this race is obviously more than just Prop 10 and Sharia law,

00:02:06.060 but it's vitally important that grassroots support this.

00:02:09.240 This is one of the most hotly contested Senate primaries, and I think the nation insists the Republican primary.

00:02:15.780 And now that Robeson dropped out of the governor's primary against Andy Biggs in Arizona, which were the two top races,

00:02:25.400 I think is the focal point of grassroots throughout the nation.

00:02:29.080 Sharia law is very important.

00:02:30.200 What is your experience with this?

00:02:31.720 CRA has become kind of one of the thought leaders.

00:02:34.200 We've got papers, you've got studies, you've got analysis.

00:02:37.300 But why is this something that you've been really making sure that CRA is at the lead of this and helping frame this conversation?

00:02:46.240 Mainly because I think in the era of political correctness, there has been a willingness, especially on our side, to not understand this through the proper framing.

00:02:54.280 Too many on our side look at this through just, well, it's religious liberty.

00:02:58.940 The Constitution says that, of course, you can be Muslim.

00:03:01.280 And yes, that's correct, but there's a fundamental difference.

00:03:04.820 So the Constitution came out of a Christian culture. 0.54

00:03:07.540 The Constitution reflects the values of a Christian people, and so they are very simpatico. 1.00

00:03:13.940 What we're seeing, especially with, and we already see it in Europe, and we're seeing it increasingly in the United States,

00:03:18.080 is that we are importing an entirely different culture that adheres to a faith that is highly radicalized and very conquering in its written word.

00:03:29.340 And so we're seeing, and people like Amy Mech, they cover this all the time, all of these radicalized perspectives,

00:03:36.800 and there is an intention by this Islamic minority to start to insert Islam and Sharia into law,

00:03:45.600 or effectively make it de facto law, depending on how they want to structure the Sharia courts.

00:03:50.300 And I think that there's going to be, from a public policy perspective, a political perspective,

00:03:55.220 there's going to be people who will say, you know, no to this.

00:03:58.680 But the practical application of it, if the grassroots, and if we don't get principled leadership in Texas,

00:04:04.580 will be that it will still march forward.

00:04:06.740 You know, people will say, just enough to get elected.

00:04:09.300 I mean, this is kind of the hallmark of Greg Abbott.

00:04:11.780 He will say something that sounds great.

00:04:13.680 And then the practical application on the back end is nothing.

00:04:16.560 There's no teeth to it.

00:04:17.740 You know, whether it's the border, whether it's radical Islam,

00:04:20.740 the only reason he will ever do anything is if the temperature rises enough

00:04:24.720 to where he does the political calculus that he needs to do something.

00:04:27.780 I think we need leadership in that state that takes the alternative perspective,

00:04:31.140 which is that we have a major problem.

00:04:33.200 And regardless of what people think, we have to do this on behalf of our constituents.

00:04:37.420 And that's going to take people who understand how to navigate this legally.

00:04:40.960 There are First Amendment protections.

00:04:42.340 You know, the Christian majority in Texas is not seeking to forcibly convert people to Christianity.

00:04:48.920 We have a perspective that if you want to be a Christian, we welcome you.

00:04:51.820 Let me tell you about Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

00:04:54.180 But we're not out there trying to pass laws demanding that people do that.

00:04:57.480 We're not trying to pass laws to adhere to the Bible outside of just natural rights.

00:05:02.920 You know, you can't murder people, that kind of stuff.

00:05:06.060 However, Islam is the exact opposite. 1.00

00:05:07.980 And we need people to understand that distinction

00:05:10.100 and get out of this failed framing that this is somehow a First Amendment issue

00:05:14.740 and you can't speak out against this.

00:05:17.320 People have a right to be Muslim.

00:05:19.200 And yes, they do have a right to be Muslim.

00:05:21.060 They do not have a right to try to subvert our entire constitutional order

00:05:25.260 with their Islamic ideology.

00:05:28.400 And that's the way we have to approach this.

00:05:30.660 And people who are going to attack this and stop it need to understand those distinctions.

00:05:35.160 They need to do so responsibly.

00:05:36.400 They need to understand this from a statutory perspective.

00:05:38.880 They need to understand this from a legal perspective.

00:05:40.920 Because if they go in kind of, you know, guns a-blazing and are not thoughtful,

00:05:45.440 the courts are going to have an easy way to shoot down all of this progress that we're trying to make.

00:05:48.920 So we need to be methodical.

00:05:50.560 We need smart people addressing these problems.

00:05:52.760 And people who are not afraid to say that this is a problem and we're going to stop it.

00:05:57.680 Yeah, we're going to get to the resources that you provide for that to give people background.

00:06:01.520 Because we love the fact that people become an informed citizenry.

00:06:07.220 Then they can use their agency to work on things.

00:06:10.040 I want to go, you know, we had this galvanizing event that's been about a month ago now

00:06:14.000 that really brought this forefront.

00:06:15.320 We had a conference, all-day conference with grassroots leaders.

00:06:18.600 Then we had a big dinner and kind of conference we brought in.

00:06:21.880 Glenn Beck was amazing.

00:06:23.320 I spoke, but the person that kind of blew it out of the room,

00:06:26.140 we brought in Gert Wilders from the Netherlands that gave the perspective

00:06:29.400 of what he's been working on for 20 years and how he feels he's lost his country,

00:06:34.360 how we've lost Paris, how we've lost London.

00:06:37.120 Before I get to New York, talk about the United States.

00:06:39.240 Use the example of if you don't get in front of this early enough,

00:06:43.340 what is happening, particularly what's happening in Europe.

00:06:46.640 Yeah, I mean, it's all about percentages of the population.

00:06:49.900 At relatively low numbers,

00:06:51.380 we have seen historically that there has been a trend to kind of blend in and go along.

00:06:57.540 But once they reach critical numbers in the population,

00:07:00.560 they start becoming more politically active.

00:07:02.640 And look, I sound like I'm talking absolutes.

00:07:05.520 I know that there are Muslims who are perfectly decent people,

00:07:08.040 Muslims who believe in liberty.

00:07:09.760 But we're talking about the law of large numbers.

00:07:12.300 And if you look at the statistical data that's coming out from Pew,

00:07:15.260 who has measured this over many decades,

00:07:17.320 large majorities of the populations in all of these Muslim countries that people are coming from

00:07:21.840 have highly radicalized positions that are completely incompatible with the United States Constitution.

00:07:26.440 And so when these populations reach a certain threshold, whether that's 10 percent or 13 percent or 20 percent,

00:07:33.920 then they start really trying to infuse their ideology into the political processes.

00:07:38.300 This is what we're seeing in Europe.

00:07:39.860 I was just watching a comedian the other day saying that if, you know,

00:07:43.460 in order for him to go visit Paris, he now needs to be able to speak Islam.

00:07:46.760 And there's just some truth to that.

00:07:49.580 And this is happening all over Europe.

00:07:51.120 And I think that we need to look at Europe.

00:07:53.000 They're 10 to 20 years ahead of us on this power curve.

00:07:55.480 And we have the opportunity.

00:07:57.080 I think it may be too late for them.

00:07:58.600 I don't think that they have what it will take to fix this problem at this point.

00:08:02.360 I think demographically it's a huge problem for them.

00:08:05.120 I don't think that we're past this red line.

00:08:07.340 I think we have opportunity to change this trajectory.

00:08:11.180 And I think that we need, you know, at the national level, vetting standards that are realistic.

00:08:15.540 And, you know, if someone believes that you should be murdered for leaving the religion of Islam,

00:08:20.520 you should not be allowed in the United States ever.

00:08:23.040 And yet large majorities of the people who come here have radicalized positions like this,

00:08:28.100 completely at odds with the United States Constitution and Christian civil society. 0.52

00:08:33.380 I want to talk about New York because it has come here.

00:08:35.700 I mean, the color revolution, and we talked about this on the morning show today about,

00:08:39.120 you know, DHS, ICE, the retreat, the shutdown, the 10 things they want, all these political battles.

00:08:45.540 It's really from the 2020, the stolen election, all the way through the 15 to 20 million, 25 million illegal aliens here.

00:08:54.220 But it's this red-green color revolution, this neo-Marxist with jihadists. 0.55

00:08:59.960 And you see this most prominently in New York City where Mandami, who never spoke in really kind of Arab inflection

00:09:06.440 or talked much about Islam in the campaign, is now up every couple of days telling you about how Islam is based on the stranger,

00:09:14.340 it's based on migration.

00:09:16.420 Medina, in fact, the New York Times had a huge article how this topic has now become the number one topic

00:09:22.240 in the Republican primary out of nowhere.

00:09:24.480 And they used to say with a lot of care and people here in Texas that are Muslim were caught, totally by surprise.

00:09:30.740 But they had a quote from, I think, an imam, a local imam, said, yeah, we do look at Texas as the new Medina.

00:09:37.900 And people would say, well, hey, he's just reinforcing what we've been talking about.

00:09:42.100 Tell me about New York City and how dangerous an example that is.

00:09:45.480 Yeah, and there was another imam that said that don't worry about the parents, their children will be Muslim.

00:09:50.480 And this is what they're trying to do.

00:09:52.020 But what we're seeing in New York is, look, Islamists have been doing this for thousands of years. 0.88

00:09:57.000 They're fairly smart about their strategy of achieving their goals here. 1.00

00:10:01.620 They are just using the progressive left as useful idiots. 0.99

00:10:05.540 Do you think that there's really a place for progressive leftists, LBGDQ alliances, climate groups in an Islamist future? 0.99

00:10:15.740 No, they are using them and working with them purely for political power to upset the existing culture,

00:10:25.020 to combine with whatever forces are out there that will work with them in a coalition to subvert and take over power.

00:10:31.520 But down the road, I think these radical leftists that are going to be really surprised.

00:10:38.420 I mean, try to be an LGBTQ activist right now and go to Afghanistan. 1.00

00:10:43.280 What's going to happen to you?

00:10:44.560 And that is a harbinger of the future if they allow radical Islam to take political hold 1.00

00:10:50.040 and don't take steps to mitigate the ability of this political ideology to subvert and destroy our entire culture and constitutional order.

00:10:58.060 You had at the morning show, we actually finished the morning show with you,

00:11:01.740 and you had a great, not simply warning, but talking to Texas of how important they are in this process now.

00:11:08.380 Can you tell us about that?

00:11:09.380 Why is this Prop 10 on the ballot?

00:11:12.660 Why is this Texas awakening to this issue to get ahead of it?

00:11:16.700 Why is it so important in this time and place, sir?

00:11:19.220 They're uniquely situated in terms of what they're seeing with the—what has happened with the importation of radical Islamists into their state 0.73

00:11:28.040 and also have the political ability through control of their state legislature

00:11:33.820 and, in theory, a governor who is sympathetic to it.

00:11:37.040 And no matter what happens in this upcoming attorney general race,

00:11:41.080 I think you're going to have the next attorney general of Texas will be friendly to this.

00:11:45.200 I've had conversations with Chip Roy.

00:11:46.840 He is methodically looking through all of his options that are on this table.

00:11:49.960 I think probably the other candidates are as well.

00:11:52.220 But they have a unique ability, and they can show the rest of the country how you do this,

00:11:57.760 how you withstand scrutiny in the courts, how you do this from a public policy perspective, and get it right.

00:12:04.260 Again, if you go in guns a-blazing, it's going to just have the aura and appearance of just being a bigot.

00:12:09.640 This isn't about bigotry.

00:12:10.760 I have nothing against Muslims.

00:12:11.900 I just don't want a radical ideology that a certain percentage of these Islamists hold to change my culture and my constitutional order

00:12:21.320 and start to change the shape of what natural law means in this country and who this ultimate source of that.

00:12:27.740 Because the answer is it comes from God, and our Constitution already says that.

00:12:31.720 So we need to go in and methodically, like scientists, take apart this problem and then show the rest of the country, all of the other states, this is how you do it.

00:12:41.000 This is how you fight back against radical Islam. 0.97

00:12:43.340 This is how you reclaim and protect your culture, as we are empowered to do.

00:12:47.640 We have a right to protect our culture, statutorily, legally, etc.

00:12:52.700 And I think that we need the actors.

00:12:55.140 We need leadership in Texas, whether that be whoever the Speaker of the House is next session.

00:12:59.700 We need the Texas State Senate.

00:13:01.240 We need the governor.

00:13:02.220 We need the Attorney General.

00:13:03.260 We need the Texas Comptroller.

00:13:04.700 We need all of those people to lead on this, not just give us talking points and not just say what people want to hear.

00:13:11.540 Concretely put forward plans to deconstruct this problem and show them, like, look, you can be Muslim. 0.88

00:13:16.360 You cannot change our laws.

00:13:18.260 You cannot change our culture.

00:13:19.440 You cannot change our way of life.

00:13:20.900 And you cannot seek out to you cannot seek to overtly destroy our constitutional order.

00:13:27.240 We will stop you from doing that.

00:13:29.100 Wade, where do people go?

00:13:30.400 You've got tons of information about all these topics and how to really get smart.

00:13:33.940 Our audience loves CRA.

00:13:36.260 Of course, Russ Vogt, all the alumni in the government right now helping President Trump.

00:13:39.560 You and a great team are holding the fort.

00:13:41.680 Where do people go right now to get access to all this information?

00:13:44.280 Sure, you can go to americarenewing.com.

00:13:52.000 Wade, thank you so much.

00:13:53.160 Appreciate you, sir.

00:13:54.700 Thank you.

00:13:55.500 CRA.

00:13:56.900 We've got tons of information.

00:13:58.720 They've done such a great job on Sharia law, the Islamic invasion, all of it. 1.00

00:14:02.880 Okay, we're at War Room, Texas.

00:14:04.880 We're going to have two of the smartest minds on politics and particularly from a grassroots perspective.

00:14:10.800 Luke Macias and Debbie Giorgatis are going to join us next show commercial break.

00:14:17.580 Back in Warm, Texas, just a moment.

00:15:02.260 So listen up.

00:15:27.000 And boom, your home title has been transferred out of your name.

00:15:36.620 You won't even know it's happened until you get a collection or foreclosure notice.

00:15:43.020 So let me ask you, when was the last time you checked your home title?

00:15:48.080 If you're like me, the answer is never.

00:16:46.180 Are you prepared to fight for this state?

00:16:48.940 Are you prepared to fight for your country?

00:16:55.080 Luke Macias joins us now.

00:16:57.420 Luke, first off, you know, the audience met you the first time was, I think, in the Paxton

00:17:02.200 impeachment and then later in the redistricting fight.

00:17:05.140 And you saw I was talking to Wade and Wade was on our morning show and we talked about it

00:17:08.900 and he said, he ended the show this morning saying, what's happening in Texas now in the

00:17:13.540 Sharia law is so important.

00:17:15.500 It's important for the nation.

00:17:16.540 It's really important for the entire Judeo-Christian West, having probably maybe lost Europe or Europe's

00:17:24.000 going to be such a struggle to get back.

00:17:25.880 Just first off, you're one of the top political minds in there.

00:17:29.440 You've got a great show and I want everybody to make sure they go to it.

00:17:32.180 Why is Texas so important, not just in Texas, but for the country, but...

00:17:38.900 We had a massive audience for the impeachment, not just nationwide.

00:17:42.460 We had people all over the world watching it.

00:17:43.920 We had a massive audience for redistricting.

00:17:46.160 Why does it seem that things that happened in Texas galvanize massive interest outside

00:17:51.500 of Texas?

00:17:52.800 Well, one of the things I think that your show did during impeachment was it nationalized

00:17:57.700 a state-based conflict.

00:17:59.420 And that doesn't happen a lot.

00:18:00.780 If the state of Louisiana is fighting about something, no matter how much we talk about it,

00:18:05.240 it's not that interesting.

00:18:06.220 When Texas takes on some of these battles, and we have been the epicenter of some of

00:18:10.440 the largest civil war battles in the Republican Party, and that's what's happening in Texas.

00:18:14.860 And so when you started talking about the impeachment issue, when you started talking

00:18:17.800 about redistricting, it nationalized this conversation.

00:18:20.460 Everyone's focused on it.

00:18:21.620 And I think that's one of the reasons why this primary is so important.

00:18:24.620 The difference between the conservative side of the GOP and the moderate establishment side

00:18:29.320 of the GOP is still very much alive and well.

00:18:31.520 I will say that we've had massive victories, largely due to the grassroots network across

00:18:36.640 Texas that keeps waking up.

00:18:38.100 And that's the other reason it's so important, is because so many people actually know what's

00:18:41.380 going on.

00:18:41.920 When I started this, I was 16 years old.

00:18:43.700 I'm 35.

00:18:44.900 There was no grassroots.

00:18:46.040 There was no Tea Party.

00:18:47.580 I mean, you would literally get a couple conservative leaders in a room with 40 people to even know

00:18:52.260 how the speaker was elected.

00:18:54.300 Nobody was doing scorecards on the votes being taken.

00:18:56.600 So this is a 20-year-long maturing process.

00:18:59.720 And I think the reason the battle is so important is because the establishment is spending so

00:19:03.040 much money because people know more than they ever have.

00:19:07.520 Why is it, why do you have this break between, because even more than Florida or Arizona or

00:19:14.300 anything, even Ohio, Texas is the railhead of the MAGA movement.

00:19:19.000 I keep telling people that.

00:19:20.040 You got such a, it's like 31 million people.

00:19:22.480 You got such a vast group of just dedicated grassroots that do all the hard pick and shovel

00:19:28.200 work.

00:19:28.700 But why is this, this fight?

00:19:30.460 What is the, what is the political establishment here, the business establishment?

00:19:34.860 Why are they not embracing the grassroots and realize that if the, if you really had unity

00:19:40.020 here, you could absolutely change the direction of country because you see on Capitol Hill

00:19:44.420 right now, President Trump, even with the Republicans in the Senate, I mean, we do all this work to

00:19:49.640 do the safe America act and put these things together.

00:19:52.300 And the guys have a perfunctory vote, the team, you know, men and women, perfunctory

00:19:56.020 vote in the Republican Senate, get on a plane.

00:19:58.140 And they're over at Munich at the security conference, even as we speak, and we're going

00:20:02.840 to have a DHS shutdown and no election integrity.

00:20:06.140 People have a tough time figuring this out.

00:20:08.140 And Texas, you're right, is the epicenter of the civil war.

00:20:11.880 So one of the things I remember that came out with the Paxton impeachment was the realization

00:20:15.980 that some of the more moderate establishment business, uh, you know, country club forces

00:20:20.340 in the GOP are flexing their muscle because they are losing power every single election.

00:20:25.580 And even in that election, you know, 17 Republican incumbents lost their primary.

00:20:29.720 They have less power and influence than they ever have before.

00:20:32.080 I think that's another reason why we see the civil war conflicts in the GOP still existing

00:20:37.040 because they know that if they can't at least stem the momentum that conservatives have

00:20:41.580 started, they will lose entire control of Texas.

00:20:45.880 And these are individuals who've put a ton of money into this state for a long time.

00:20:49.440 Remember, we have counties that have larger operating budgets than some states in the

00:20:53.520 U S and so there's a lot more money.

00:20:56.360 And I always say a lot more money just gives you kind of a boost to sin and nature and all

00:21:01.840 the natural causes that cause us to do the wrong things.

00:21:04.360 And so it incentivizes the wrong behavior.

00:21:06.500 Those forces are putting more than they ever have because they know that conservatives

00:21:11.240 have gained substantially over the last several years, in my opinion.

00:21:15.260 So you're one of the most astute guys mathematically in all this, because eventually you got to

00:21:19.540 get to the math and you've been making this point.

00:21:21.840 I want to talk to the audience about it.

00:21:24.160 This is the most may end up being the most expensive Republican Senate primary in the

00:21:29.040 history of the country.

00:21:30.880 But you're saying you're not seeing the polls move all that much.

00:21:34.340 Walk us through that.

00:21:35.080 The amount of money being spent and why does it seem that this race is kind of at least a 1.00

00:21:39.380 little bit defined, it's all going to be about get out the vote, but it appears that money

00:21:43.160 may not be the driving force here.

00:21:45.640 Money doesn't seem to be driving substantially the polls one way or another.

00:21:50.020 You're in a Republican primary for U S Senate, where at this point, I think when you count

00:21:54.460 all sides, it's going to be well over a hundred million dollars they could spend on the Senate

00:21:58.280 primary.

00:21:59.340 And the polling that was six months ago is largely the polling that was three months ago

00:22:03.680 is largely the polling that was yesterday is that there's single digit, everything's

00:22:10.400 moving within the margins.

00:22:11.460 One person goes to 35%, then they dropped down to 32, then they go to 31.

00:22:16.200 Ultimately, I think you're going to see likely at this point, because Wesley Hunt jumped in

00:22:20.340 the race, a, a runoff between Senator Cornyn and attorney general Paxton.

00:22:25.060 And it seems like that's exactly what the polling said before the a hundred million dollars

00:22:29.060 got spent.

00:22:29.580 And it's exactly what the polling is saying now that the money's all been spent.

00:22:34.820 The issue of Sharia, I think, uh, collectively a group of people came together and gave people

00:22:39.880 a permission structure.

00:22:40.800 I I've been, my phone's blown up.

00:22:42.380 Other States want to do this.

00:22:43.800 They said, Hey, this is a huge issue.

00:22:46.020 People want to address it.

00:22:47.180 I noticed when you talk about John Cornyn, he's got an ad out now anti, you know, uh, don't

00:22:51.840 Sharia my Texas ad very anti Sharia. 0.97

00:22:54.520 I think he put in legislation, I think it was last night or this morning to ban Sharia law.

00:22:58.700 Now, how is, is he, is this now driving, you know, the New York times had a huge article,

00:23:04.280 the Texas tribune had a huge article about this kind of coming out of nowhere, what they

00:23:08.380 said to do it.

00:23:09.520 First off, why did it perceive come out of nowhere and how important is this issue in

00:23:13.720 driving the narrative?

00:23:15.420 Yeah.

00:23:16.060 Massive Overton window shift.

00:23:17.480 And everybody who's been talking about this issue for two and three years, Debbie Georgiatis,

00:23:21.680 who's about to come on the show.

00:23:22.920 I looked it up three years ago.

00:23:24.920 I had a episode on my weekly episode.

00:23:27.760 And the title was, we just had the most pro Muslim session in Texas history.

00:23:32.120 That was in 2023.

00:23:34.120 And I remember it was a couple hundred people that watched it at the time.

00:23:37.180 Some people reached out that year.

00:23:39.320 A bunch of Republican politicians started calling those of us who were criticizing them

00:23:43.440 for celebrating Muslim holidays and putting the Muslim faith into Texas law.

00:23:47.360 They started calling us bigots, racists.

00:23:49.660 And now all those same Republicans are out there saying, we got to ban all of this all

00:23:53.680 the time.

00:23:54.260 I posted the first text I got from Senator Cornyn that talked about Sharia law on Twitter

00:23:58.860 three, four weeks ago and just said Overton window.

00:24:01.900 And we should recognize that.

00:24:03.080 I know that there's a lot not happening that we're disappointed in, but every now and then

00:24:07.560 when people move in the right direction, we go, hey, this is a win because we're all

00:24:11.460 shaping the narrative now.

00:24:12.860 We've driven the framing.

00:24:14.520 Now the question is, what are we going to do about it?

00:24:16.060 And I know that's part of what you want to talk about.

00:24:18.120 This happened three years ago.

00:24:20.340 Two Muslim members came into the legislature.

00:24:22.440 They swore in on the Quran and they meant it. 0.99

00:24:24.560 And then they started celebrating every Muslim holiday they could.

00:24:27.460 They started getting all of their Christian fellow lawmakers to attend all of their Muslim

00:24:32.800 dinners.

00:24:33.540 They started trying to put imams and halal food into Texas code.

00:24:38.140 They wanted to put the Muslim faith into Texas code wherever they could.

00:24:41.560 So it started three years ago.

00:24:42.780 It's still continuing today.

00:24:44.300 And that's why I think it is kind of reaching that pinnacle of awareness.

00:24:47.620 People are finally saying, I don't want to touch this.

00:24:50.160 I remember a friend of mine in Weatherford, and I'll close with this, that he was running

00:24:53.880 against a bad Republican, Glenn Rogers.

00:24:55.540 Mike Alcott is his name, total grassroots champion.

00:24:58.540 And so Glenn Rogers starts getting criticized for voting to celebrate all these Muslim holidays

00:25:02.360 in the Texas house.

00:25:03.660 And Mike Alcott's pastor gets up on Sunday and says, Mike Alcott's right there.

00:25:09.120 We're all voting for him.

00:25:10.040 And I'll tell you this, he's never going to celebrate Muslim holidays at the Texas house. 0.92

00:25:14.040 And you started realizing even the pastors in the pulpits are waking up.

00:25:17.980 They didn't know what's happening.

00:25:19.040 So I think it's been a three-year journey at this point on the Muslim issue in particular.

00:25:24.020 Luke, just go back over there because you've said something that I don't think people

00:25:27.140 fully grasp yet.

00:25:28.820 They've been very aggressive, even with a very small foothold, because they're very savvy

00:25:33.560 about this.

00:25:34.080 They've been very aggressive of trying to get Islamic law basically coded in to Texas law. 0.98

00:25:40.660 Just give me a minute on that, and then we'll let you punch. 1.00

00:25:43.440 But I think this is quite, this is something people have to focus on.

00:25:46.680 Yeah, so I will give the Texas Senate credit.

00:25:50.320 The, many of the bills that the Muslim members of the Texas house are, were able to pass over

00:25:55.200 the last two sessions, the Texas Senate kills.

00:25:57.360 So the Texas Senate has a group of lawmakers to say that the Senate never celebrates the

00:26:01.420 Muslim faith.

00:26:02.160 It does not insert Muslim, the Muslim faith into Texas code, but they will do things like

00:26:07.600 taking a particular portion of code that says who can marry somebody.

00:26:11.900 And even though imams can currently marry somebody, they can go get a certificate and marry somebody, 1.00

00:26:17.300 they want the word imam into Texas code.

00:26:20.780 They want it right next to pastor.

00:26:24.040 And so they're trying to insert their faith into Texas code.

00:26:28.440 That's just one example.

00:26:29.560 But you start looking at all their bills, and they all have that theme.

00:26:33.180 The resolutions they pass, that is the state of Texas officially celebrating the Muslim faith.

00:26:38.880 And culture is what you honor and what you shame.

00:26:41.900 And they want the culture in Texas to be one that honors the Muslim faith weekly in the

00:26:46.820 halls of the Texas Capitol.

00:26:48.620 And we know the damage that that does.

00:26:50.920 And so I think the grassroots even bringing attention to that, you now have even middle 0.95

00:26:54.820 of the road Republicans begging leadership to just kill all of the Muslim resolutions because 0.90

00:27:00.140 they're tired of having to answer for it back in their districts. 0.98

00:27:03.260 Luke, your show, where do people get it?

00:27:07.260 When does it play in social media?

00:27:09.040 Because you're one of the smartest political minds in the state of Texas.

00:30:34.620 committee woman from the state of texas and every state's got equal representation in the rnc but you 1.00

00:30:40.840 do represent the jewel in the crown you're one of the three people that represent you know there's 31

00:30:46.180 million people in texas that's the eighth biggest economy and since we don't have a lot of uh we don't

00:30:51.320 have a lot of stroke in california uh you know people look to you on the on the republican national

00:30:56.640 committee as one of the real leaders just from a national perspective before we get in we just had

00:31:01.220 the sharia caucus meet we had tuberville on here the other day he was a senate member of a chip roy

00:31:05.620 we played spots we we voted on the save america act right to get some modicum of uh of organization

00:31:13.520 and common sense in the national elections and the senate took a perfunctory uh vote you know and all

00:31:19.480 the republicans voted for it 53 john thune i think uh flipped because technicality you got if you want to

00:31:25.420 bring it back up you got to do that fetterman also i believe voted for it but there's no push uh to do

00:31:31.900 go to a standing filibuster to go to a talking filibuster and so what's your perspective with

00:31:37.660 just what's happening president trump is trying to get things done he's trying to codify things

00:31:41.260 what's your perspective from the rnc of of of how we're doing and now we're getting ready to the run-up

00:31:46.680 of the midterm elections man yeah thank you i love representing texas in the republican national

00:31:52.580 committee it is a i love being a texan you know um on the rnc there are a wide range of people who

00:31:59.840 they represent various states and so there's you know it's a wide range of people but i my sense is

00:32:05.660 that within the republican national committee i'm not speaking on their behalf i am not a spokesperson

00:32:09.480 for them but my sense in being at meetings and talking to them most of them understand we have to

00:32:15.080 pass the save act and we have to support president trump's efforts to get elections honest and fair

00:32:21.220 the very basic requirements of save act so at least personally speaking for me in texas i'm really

00:32:26.340 disappointed that the republicans who do have the majority in the senate don't just use that power

00:32:32.340 because the the filibuster rule is not in the constitution it's not a federal mandate in law

00:32:39.080 it is something that can just be done away with and i think that the need what is really needed

00:32:45.320 more than anything else is to have people around the country and patriots telling their members the

00:32:51.020 u.s senate your republican members we want you to get rid of the filibuster pass the save act get this

00:32:57.620 done the save act is about really saving america's elections it is that serious because we've had a

00:33:03.680 decade of corruption and the ability of people who aren't citizens and shouldn't be voting being able to 0.93

00:33:10.580 cast a ballot this is just getting back to honest elections i really encourage grassroots everywhere

00:33:15.900 to communicate with your senator and say get the dang thing done and stop worrying about the

00:33:20.760 filibuster rule because it's not they're not compelled to to follow that rule they don't have to do it

00:33:25.960 they just put it up put the issue up have the vote get it done is one of your concerns is i know this

00:33:32.200 is the president's concern is that hey this has been a custom and tradition it used to be a standing

00:33:36.860 filibuster that's where you saw the mr smith goes to washington but then it became the 60

00:33:40.380 vote uh and it has by the way it's protected us from an amnesty but his point is the democrats have

00:33:46.940 been very vocal and they got a quite radical plan about adding maybe puerto rico as a state expanding

00:33:52.220 you know mike lee keeps warning about packing the court like fdr tried to do to get over that the

00:33:58.100 democrats will immediately if they take over the senate drop and the senate's in the balance right now

00:34:03.340 we got to be honest about that that they will immediately uh get rid of the filibuster not even do

00:34:08.160 a standing filibuster so they control things with 51 uh 51 votes uh is is that your concern is that

00:34:14.500 one of the reasons you're advocating that we got to be very smart about this now absolutely i don't

00:34:20.240 think there's any doubt if there's an opportunity for the democrats having control of the senate

00:34:24.220 to end the filibuster i think there's no doubt they'll do it we watched the four years under

00:34:28.940 biden harris just running roughshod over the country over the laws the abuse that was inflicted on

00:34:34.820 by the doj and the fbi on trump supporters i just think that the base in america the republican base

00:34:42.060 they know we need to have the filibuster to end and i think there's no doubt at all the democrats will

00:34:47.360 do that they are on a mission they're on a mission that you saw under biden harris to really undermine

00:34:52.600 all of the um the freedoms of america this the democrat party is a very dangerous radical leftist

00:34:58.180 place and i think they will seize that power and and the filibuster if they can and we need to do it

00:35:03.500 while we still can what about uh they just announced that chip roy is one of the leaders in this uh from

00:35:09.380 texas uh senator tuberville jumped in but the the announcement this past week of and of course keith

00:35:15.640 self uh the colonel self doing a great job leading it also this uh congressional uh anti-sharia

00:35:22.520 caucus sharia free america caucus how important was that for the efforts down here in texas

00:35:26.980 it is hugely important uh to have texas congressmen and in the lead of it and

00:35:33.480 also congressman brandon gill has been outspoken my congressman keith self along with chip roy

00:35:40.380 this really brings national attention you know i think people who listen to your show are just

00:35:45.620 they're activists or serious thinkers and so they probably understood we had a problem for quite a

00:35:50.840 while but for the federal government the united states house of representatives to form a sharia

00:35:55.600 free caucus to put bills in place to try to implement what they're what they're trying to do

00:36:01.420 which is end the potential for sharia uh invading america it is hugely consequential it actually gives

00:36:08.360 legitimacy to the conversation among elected officials in texas it's not just a small little

00:36:14.100 group of people meeting in a dark room whispering about being concerned about sharia the u.s

00:36:19.320 congress housed a sharia free caucus it opens it gives people permission to talk about it and to

00:36:24.940 talk about it for the serious threat that it is by the way we've played multiple times now the first

00:36:30.320 session they had they had some incredible witnesses and brandon gill who's a rising star not just in the

00:36:35.820 texas delegation brandon gill's a rising star in the house of representatives his questioning was just

00:36:41.060 absolutely brilliant as he went through the opposing witnesses to really get to the bottom of how some

00:36:45.960 phony their some of their statistics were let's go to texas now before i talk about sharia law you

00:36:51.060 mentioned how radical the democrats are getting we're seeing this all over seen in minneapolis we're

00:36:55.120 seeing it in new york city uh in california i mean this is not your your father's democratic party and

00:37:01.200 the democratic party had had basically i come from the commonwealth of virginia when i was a small kid

00:37:06.620 everybody were democrats right there was no republican party the same in texas i mean texas has been a

00:37:13.080 democratic state for a long time but that's changed over the last 30 years uh republicans

00:37:18.260 are clearly in power but you're seeing uh and i i've been here now for i think three weeks and we

00:37:23.220 watch the tv ads we're meeting every day with people the texas democratic party part of it like

00:37:28.560 in the senate nine situation you actually have dsa you got the working family party down in houston

00:37:33.360 uh very uh very strong you got jasmine crockett i think right now jasmine crockett could be odds

00:37:39.980 on favorite to win the senate primary i mean the democratic party in texas is pretty radical is it

00:37:45.960 not it is and you know i used to comment about the democrat party in minnesota because i my have

00:37:52.520 family roots in minnesota my parent my dad grew up there and they were flat out marxist the the ones

00:37:58.140 the democrats in in minneapolis not in minnesota i used to think well texas is different you know we're

00:38:02.920 all texans here we love liberty we love the spirit of texas but yes the texas democrat party

00:38:07.940 is not fighting any of they didn't stand up during the four years of biden harris against any of the

00:38:13.940 policies they all acted like it was normal and yes there are growing uh core groups within the

00:38:19.900 democrat party in texas they're just not on board with the basic idea of a u.s constitution the texas

00:38:26.580 constitution the ideas that give us freedom and opportunity and all and and that whole spirit of

00:38:31.600 texas individualism and and texas liberty and strength that is that is really only owned by the

00:38:38.140 republican party in texas these days the democrats are across the country radical and i'm sad to say

00:38:43.140 the radical bent of the democrat party has come to texas as well debbie one of the reasons i think

00:38:49.700 people are so thankful that you're on the republican national committee is you're looked at as one of

00:38:53.860 the voices of the grassroots in texas and one of the leaders of the grassroots in texas talked about

00:38:58.940 this why is the grassroots in texas so big so profound and and quite frankly is fighting

00:39:04.500 the republican establishment every day but winning more than losing what is it about texas that has

00:39:10.360 this kind of very robust grassroots uh movement that is such a great question i'll tell you my

00:39:16.880 husband and i'm going to admit on air here i grew up in new york but my husband and i arrived in texas in

00:39:22.560 the year 2000 we were here about two weeks we thought we said we will never leave we love this place

00:39:28.060 it's a spirit of liberty and part of i think it is some of texas history just how we came to be a

00:39:33.680 state and and fought against um fought for independence first we were an independent country

00:39:38.560 ourselves and that briefly and then became part of america but i think there's a spirit of liberty that

00:39:44.720 is taught generationally a lot of it has to do with ranching and farming and people really living

00:39:50.420 off of their own personal work and responsibility and ability to make their way in the world so i think

00:39:56.680 there's a there's a spirit of liberty here that is is carried on by ranchers and farmers uh but even

00:40:02.460 within the cities the republican parties are just there there is a division you allude to it's very

00:40:08.260 true there's a an establishment wing of the party and the more grassroots uh wing of the party and and

00:40:14.700 yes grassroots are very strong grassroots conservatives in texas very strong um and very um and and so far

00:40:21.840 really i would say at least publicly you know the establishment wing and the conservatives we try to

00:40:27.720 work together we have a lot of common ground uh and i think they are recognizing if you don't recognize

00:40:33.780 in america today how radical the left is how dangerous their agenda is they just left the border

00:40:39.000 open for four years so i think maybe republicans they have you have a more establishment group grassroots

00:40:44.300 group but we can come together and recognize it's the democrat radical marxist socialist agenda and the

00:40:51.080 the left of america that is our real enemy so i think moving forward i also think that the republican

00:40:57.800 conservative grassroots types we speak up a lot and we we are active in the legislation we go down to

00:41:03.880 legislature during this session we try to explain why we think some bill is so important why this issue

00:41:08.560 must be addressed and i think that it does end up carrying the day because the activists and also the

00:41:15.100 state republican executive committee very very active showing up in the legislature urging them

00:41:20.560 please stand with this and against this so i think there's a there's just an energy that is engaging

00:41:25.620 down here among conservatives and and i think it's helping to move the party or keep it to the right

00:41:30.740 we got about 90 seconds i want to go to break but i do want to hold you through the break and bring

00:41:35.200 you back um the grassroots has driven kind of the permission structure the grassroots forced

00:41:39.820 has really forced this whole issue of of prop 10 and sharia law on the ballot but you know john

00:41:45.520 cornyn has put out an ad that he's you know he's all for prop 10 and anti-sharia law don't sharia my

00:41:51.080 texas he just put i think announced a new law that he's putting forward in in uh in the senate uh talk

00:41:58.080 to me about that the grassroots here drove the conversation we're going to spend more time about

00:42:02.500 it when we come back for you give me a minute of that the grassroots here drove this into the

00:42:06.720 the public square absolutely 100 the reason there is a proposition on the master primary ballot that

00:42:13.840 says texas should prohibit sharia law is because of the grassroots it is hugely significant that the

00:42:19.600 attorney general candidates in texas all three of them that are better seriously in play talk openly

00:42:24.680 about the danger of sharia the u.s senate candidates brought the issue up uh turn general paxton being

00:42:30.940 very very you know very active in his campaign for u.s senate has talked about the issue i think that

00:42:36.440 john cornyn finally i realized i guess we have to get on board with this issue so it is helping the

00:42:41.760 cause of raising the alarm bell about sharia that all these players in texas they will now speak up

00:42:47.820 publicly these candidates about what with the threat we face in texas debbie jurigatis uh you're gonna

00:42:54.680 stick to the break short commercial break we're going to return with war room texas in just a moment

00:45:13.300 As Texas goes, so goes the nation.

00:45:17.660 As the nation goes, so goes the world.

00:45:20.300 Are you prepared to fight for this state?

00:45:23.060 Are you prepared to fight for your country?

00:45:28.760 It's Texas, so Jenny's story is joining me.

00:45:30.960 We're going to get to Debbie in just a second. 0.59

00:45:32.900 Debbie Georgadas.

00:45:33.800 First off, Debbie, give me a minute. 0.99

00:45:37.380 We'll have you back on next week about you're one of the grassroots leaders,

00:45:40.440 how the grassroots should approach talking to people about Proposition 10, ma'am.

00:45:46.560 Absolutely.

00:45:47.480 Proposition 10 is the single most important vote we can do in this March or primary bill,

00:45:52.100 of course, along with the Senate and the Attorney General race.

00:45:54.960 But the reason Proposition 10, and it will pass, but we need it to pass with overwhelming majority.

00:46:01.180 It'd be great if it passed 90 percent.

00:46:03.140 And the reason is it gives courage, strength, and a message of pressure to elected officials,

00:46:09.120 state reps, state senators, U.S. Congress, that the people of Texas want you to take action.

00:46:14.540 And so it doesn't have any impact.

00:46:16.800 It does not become part of the Constitution.

00:46:19.080 It's not making a new law.

00:46:20.540 It's a voice of the people.

00:46:21.920 It's a primal scream of the people to our elected officials, do something.

00:46:25.860 So it's Proposition 10.

00:46:27.440 It just says Texas should prohibit Sharia law.

00:46:29.740 And there are many, many ways in which Sharia is already in place in Texas.

00:46:34.320 It's not just about law.

00:46:35.800 It's about culture, too.

00:46:36.920 But it sends a message that we're defending our American Constitution, our freedom,

00:46:41.440 our very existence as Texas, the land of self-reliance and independence.

00:46:46.620 Debbie, where do people go?

00:46:48.540 You've got a show.

00:46:49.420 I want people to get access to the show.

00:46:50.820 Also, your social media.

00:46:52.000 They've got to keep up with you.

00:46:52.880 Where do folks go?

00:46:54.500 Thank you.

00:46:55.000 My show is called America Can We Talk?

00:46:57.080 You can find it online at americacanretalk.org.

00:47:00.240 We also have a website on this cause for ban Sharia. 1.00

00:47:03.380 We have bansharia.com.

00:47:04.960 You can go to that.

00:47:05.980 But back to my social media on Twitter, it's at Debbie, D-E-B-B-I-E, at Debbie Can We Talk.

00:47:12.220 I'm on all social media.

00:47:13.460 You can find me under America Can We Talk or under Debbie Georgias.

00:47:17.660 Great.

00:47:18.100 Ban Sharia. 1.00

00:47:18.820 We'll get that up there, too.

00:47:19.680 Debbie, thank you so much.

00:47:20.900 Appreciate you coming on, all the work you're doing here.

00:47:23.380 Thank you.

00:47:23.660 Thank you, Steve.

00:47:24.140 Good to see you.

00:47:26.020 Jenny Story, you're a grassroots leader, too.

00:47:28.380 Also, you run Patriot.

00:47:30.120 I've seen the company now up close and personal for a while.

00:47:32.720 You're day-to-day running this organization.

00:47:35.740 We love Glenn Story.

00:47:37.960 But he's on the road talking to people about Patriot Mobile.

00:47:41.820 You're here running this magnificent company.

00:47:44.060 You've got a warning.

00:47:44.800 You wanted to come on this morning.

00:47:45.860 We've got about five minutes.

00:47:46.880 You said, hey, the precinct strategy, which has been so powerful in building the grassroots across the nation, and particularly in Texas.

00:47:52.500 I just had a precinct chairman on that came in with the precinct strategy.

00:47:56.340 They're under assault right now with very nefarious activity.

00:47:59.680 What is this?

00:48:00.180 Okay, so I've seen text messages and some banners from these PACs that are not even, you know, registered in the counties where they're going after the precinct chair.

00:48:12.580 So it's very clever.

00:48:14.180 The precinct chairs are the folks that are basically boots on the ground, knocking doors, knowing who's running and making recommendations.

00:48:21.020 And so it's kind of like there's these PACs that are coming in.

00:48:25.060 And so people need to be careful.

00:48:27.180 You know, why—

00:48:28.120 These PACs have MAGA.

00:48:29.200 They have Trump's name.

00:48:30.200 They've just registered all this.

00:48:32.020 These are out of state or out of district.

00:48:35.060 Out of district.

00:48:36.800 They're trying to go up to grassroots leaders.

00:48:38.160 That's right.

00:48:38.720 That's right.

00:48:39.080 So be very careful.

00:48:40.220 Know who your precinct chairs are.

00:48:41.740 Know who's been fighting for you for years.

00:48:44.780 You know, why is it time to be taking them out?

00:48:47.340 You know, you've really got to question it.

00:48:48.900 And just because you see MAGA or you see Trump on a candidate's profile or being endorsed by them, you've got to question where is that PAC from?

00:48:57.260 And, like, I think some of them aren't even registered with TEC yet.

00:49:00.900 People are looking into it.

00:49:02.240 That's the Texas Elections Commission.

00:49:03.620 That's right.

00:49:04.120 So, you know, just—you know who your precinct chairs are.

00:49:07.020 You know who've been fighting for you.

00:49:08.560 You know who's true to the movement and to the cause.

00:49:11.260 So be skeptical because this is a very clever game.

00:49:15.860 There's dark money that's coming into Texas, and we've seen that even in school board elections, and now they're going down in the precinct chairs.

00:49:23.060 So just be very careful about, you know, accepting something that might say MAGA or Trump on it because it can be just—it's like, I feel like this is a psych op operation or something like this.

00:49:34.700 Right.

00:49:35.060 And so we've just got to be very careful.

00:49:37.620 Know who your precinct chairs are.

00:49:39.220 Just remember who they are.

00:49:41.280 Talk to me.

00:49:41.860 Give me a couple minutes.

00:49:43.160 We've got a few minutes here.

00:49:44.160 Give me a couple minutes on this Prop 10.

00:49:46.220 Early voting starts next week.

00:49:47.960 You've been behind the scenes.

00:49:49.500 You and Debbie have done such a heavy lifting on the grassroots side.

00:49:52.460 Where do you think we are?

00:49:53.640 The enthusiasm.

00:49:54.420 All the candidates now are talking about it, but the grassroots.

00:49:56.940 Are we going to start seeing some real muscle next week in the early voting?

00:50:00.220 Well, I surely hope so.

00:50:01.340 The problem is we also see that a lot of conservatives don't like to get off their couch to vote.

00:50:05.440 But as I said last time, you know, politics is a dirty word among conservatives.

00:50:09.600 Conservatives want to focus on their faith, their family, their work.

00:50:12.960 And unfortunately, if you don't vote, which we absolutely have to vote.

00:50:17.580 You know, we had low turnout here in the special election.

00:50:20.240 In Senate District 9.

00:50:21.100 Exactly, but on a lot of different special elections as well.

00:50:24.880 We need to get off of our couches, and we need to vote for the best and the most conservative candidate.

00:50:30.200 People complain about the candidates that are running in November, and they shouldn't complain if they didn't vote.

00:50:34.960 So I'm just encouraging and saying, you know, be part of history.

00:50:38.600 Vote in these primaries.

00:50:40.120 Prop 10 is also important.

00:50:41.480 It doesn't become law, but it sends a message to the legislators to give them the courage as well.

00:50:46.420 So please get off your couch. 0.63

00:50:48.640 Go out and vote.

00:50:49.340 Tell me about this extraordinary company.

00:50:51.160 You guys, just seeing you guys day in the day, it's pretty extraordinary.

00:50:54.940 Talk to me about the company, and then we want everybody to switch over.

00:50:58.560 The way you guys are able to do this is you're generating a ton of revenue here, and we want people to switch over.

00:51:03.640 So basically, we're an activist company, and we support our activism by selling cell phone service.

00:51:24.360 You called 972-Patriot.

00:51:26.540 You were going to get somebody with an East Texas accent, a Texas citizen, a U.S. citizen talking to you.

00:51:31.140 Right.

00:51:31.340 Or you might actually get somebody who's studying to be out in California.

00:51:34.300 We work with a Bible college.

00:51:35.680 You might be speaking with somebody who's studying to be a missionary or a pastor, and they'll pray with you.

00:51:40.600 I mean, we'll all pray with you if you need prayer as well.

00:51:43.440 So it's a very unique company.

00:51:45.780 We put God at the helm of our business, and our mission is to support our God-given rights and freedoms, and we do that boldly and proudly.

00:53:31.520 Here's why now is the time to make a move.

00:53:34.340 This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books.

00:53:38.100 They clean up past due accounts.

00:53:40.420 They sell a write-off to debt to clear their books.

00:53:44.240 That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before you're in.

00:53:52.900 That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.
