Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 960： Polls Close In Texas For The Future Of Our Republic

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

00:00:20.840 Why in the hell do you think they're in Houston and in north of Dallas? 0.98

00:00:23.880 They are working together to overthrow Western civilization.

00:00:27.820 Sharia compounds, which are areas governed by religious rules.

00:00:32.120 We know who you are, we know what you are, and we know what you're trying to accomplish,

00:00:37.200 and it is not going to happen in the jewel of the crown of the union of this republic.

00:00:42.760 We purge any attempt to impose Sharia law in Texas.

00:00:46.140 They are not coming. They are already here.

00:00:48.920 You are not here properly, and you're going to leave.

00:00:52.780 On the 3rd of March, Sharia law goes on the ballot in the state of Texas.

00:01:00.120 The United States Constitution and Sharia are fundamentally at odds with one another. 0.99

00:01:06.000 We're going to tell them, take your Sharia law and shove it. 1.00

00:01:09.740 Islam will never dominate the United States, and by the grace of God, it will not dominate Texas. 1.00

00:01:16.180 As Texas goes, so goes the nation. As the nation goes, so goes the world.

00:01:22.520 Are you prepared to fight for this state? Are you prepared to fight for your country?

00:01:29.800 War Room Texas, where your host, Stephen K. Bannon, starts right now.

00:01:35.580 It's Tuesday, 3 March, Year of Our Lord, 2026. It's game day, and we are packed.

00:01:42.800 Also, the coverage, our election night coverage will start at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

00:01:47.220 Grant Stinchfield from Dallas, his Dallas studio, will co-host.

00:01:51.960 There's that right there.

00:01:52.880 We'll go until we know who the winners are,

00:01:56.420 and this really what's turned into a massive primer in the Democratic side,

00:02:00.640 but I think the most expensive in the history of the Republican Party.

00:02:03.220 We lead off with Chris Wilson, who is one of the most respected pollsters

00:02:08.540 and political operatives in the state of Texas.

00:02:11.700 You've made your career here.

00:02:12.920 Chris, just put it into perspective.

00:02:14.560 We had a cold open.

00:02:15.500 Ben Burquam, our field reporter, who will be at the headquarters of Ken Paxson tonight,

00:02:21.140 stopped by Plano, Texas.

00:02:22.760 We did a stand-up there and talked to him for a while.

00:02:24.800 He's been all over Texas for a while.

00:02:27.580 And it was very interesting about the polling.

00:02:30.960 We played a cold open for him that had all, you know, mainstream media, the MSNBC,

00:02:37.280 really all over this primary, particularly the 2.5 million people who have voted,

00:02:41.680 and really looking like, in early voting, the Democrats coming out in a presidential cycle.

00:02:47.540 You know this better than anything.

00:02:48.900 Talk to us about, first off, the early vote, and then where do you see this race today?

00:02:53.480 You know, I think it's too early to, even though it's the day of Election Day,

00:02:59.200 to judge what the early voting actually means.

00:03:01.180 There's clearly excitement on the Democratic side.

00:03:06.100 But I think anyone who today is trying to channel some crystal ball and extrapolate what that means 0.97

00:03:12.220 for November is just out throwing out the fool's gold.

00:03:15.500 Because, look, we saw massive turnout and enthusiasm amongst Republicans at the primary in 2022

00:03:22.160 during Biden's midterm, and it didn't translate into turnout in November.

00:03:27.600 So from a data scientist perspective, I look at this as a positive,

00:03:31.180 because all these Democrats that are turning out are now giving me data to judge who they are

00:03:35.940 for the general election.

00:03:36.940 And that's actually very positive and will help my clients ultimately win.

00:03:40.240 But as you mentioned, I was executive director of the Republican Party of Texas back in the 90s.

00:03:44.920 I did Ted Cruz's first race in 2012 and all his subsequent races since then.

00:03:51.020 And I've done Governor Abbott's work over the years.

00:03:54.360 And so I've seen a lot in Texas.

00:03:56.520 And the fact of the amount of money that has been spent,

00:04:00.080 and you said in your open that it's the most ever Republican primary,

00:04:03.400 and I'm sure that ends up being true, is just stunning to me.

00:04:08.340 And going into the race on Election Day, here's how it looks.

00:04:12.160 And I should step back, because I'm known as a pollster.

00:04:14.800 I'm known as somebody who does data science.

00:04:16.660 Today, I run a company called Eyes Over.

00:04:18.440 And we track millions of online conversations happening in real time.

00:04:23.020 So instead of relying on polling snapshots, we measure what we call a sports score,

00:04:27.940 which it tells us where the grassroots energy is moving.

00:04:31.540 And the grassroots energy leads the overall energy.

00:04:36.140 And so going into Election Day, the race looks like this.

00:04:38.660 Ken Paxton is generating just over half of the positive engagement, about 51%.

00:04:45.080 John Cornyn is sitting around 31%.

00:04:48.260 And Wesley Hunt, who I should disclose to your listeners,

00:04:52.220 I have worked for the Wesley Hunt Super PAC.

00:04:54.880 And he is at 17%.

00:04:57.000 And I will point out on that matter,

00:04:59.620 and if it sounds like I'm a little bit bothered about it,

00:05:02.220 that might not be unfair.

00:05:04.340 There has been more money spent against Wesley Hunt from a negative perspective

00:05:08.440 than there has against Ken Paxton and John Cornyn combined.

00:05:11.640 And so we can talk about that if you want.

00:05:13.620 But having said that, so we go in.

00:05:16.460 The online conversation entered today clearly shows Paxton has the center of gravity in the race.

00:05:22.160 But what really matters as I look at this from an analytical perspective

00:05:25.940 is not just the percentages.

00:05:28.060 What the data shows is that the race has organized itself into two political coalitions

00:05:33.400 amongst the Republican Party in Texas.

00:05:36.480 And this is a little bit of what I saw in 2012, not to go back too far,

00:05:40.180 but with Ted Cruz in the primary against David Dewhurst, who the establishment supported.

00:05:45.540 And there were other people in the race, obviously.

00:05:47.240 But we sort of saw the same thing emerge, but we didn't have this tool.

00:05:50.100 And so we kind of saw it after the fact,

00:05:51.500 because polling is really a trailing indicator to these things.

00:05:53.900 So on one coalition, you see the grassroots populist wing of the Republican Party,

00:05:59.700 which is driving the engagement around Paxton.

00:06:02.240 And then the other coalition is the institutional Republican support,

00:06:05.860 which has rallied around Cornyn.

00:06:08.440 Hunt has picked up voters who are looking for kind of a generational,

00:06:12.400 I'll describe it scandal-free alternative.

00:06:14.980 But those have dissipated over time as both the Paxton and the Cornyn campaign super PACs

00:06:21.500 have done an effective job of attacking Wesley Hunt.

00:06:25.580 So what Texas voters are deciding today isn't just between three candidates.

00:06:31.060 I would submit it is deciding which coalition they want leading the party going forward.

00:06:36.580 Because in modern primaries, the candidate who controls the grassroots conversation

00:06:40.360 has the structural advantage.

00:06:42.840 And I think that is absolutely essential as we move into runoffs

00:06:46.700 and the general election in Texas.

00:06:48.920 When you look at this data, a positive conversation,

00:06:53.680 it's one of the things we've been here for about five weeks.

00:06:56.720 And of course, we have to curate all the local news,

00:06:59.960 and particularly MSNBC and CNN.

00:07:03.140 I'm stunned by the scale.

00:07:05.220 I'm just blown away by the scale of the spending of Cornyn,

00:07:09.000 both against Hunt and about Paxton.

00:07:12.460 But it's the negativity.

00:07:13.620 These are some of the worst, most brutal, negative ads I've ever seen.

00:07:19.840 Does that fit into the data, too?

00:07:21.360 When you say that the Paxton is leading in positive statements,

00:07:26.120 I don't even know where the positive statements are coming from.

00:07:28.660 I have never seen a campaign ever that literally has no issues about it.

00:07:33.400 And it's about how awful these two people are.

00:07:36.860 And I should tell you, my daughter sits on the board.

00:07:39.340 She went to West Point and sits on the board at West Point with Wesley Hunt.

00:07:42.840 And he's just an incredible guy.

00:07:44.780 You know, he's a combat Apache helicopter pilot.

00:07:47.560 He's just amazing.

00:07:49.340 Dave, you know, it'd be hard for Wesley Hunt's mother, I think, to vote for him,

00:07:52.940 just like his Paxton.

00:07:53.960 I've just never seen the brutality of these ads.

00:07:56.480 Is that figuring to your data?

00:07:57.880 I know a lot of grassroots people that have said, I just can't vote for Cornyn.

00:08:03.060 If Cornyn somehow gets in a runoff and wins this thing in a runoff, 1.00

00:08:06.620 I don't know if I'm there in November because I'm so repulsed by what I've seen here on this campaign.

00:08:12.840 Yeah, it absolutely factors into it.

00:08:15.660 And like I said, the great thing about Eyes Over is it leads polling.

00:08:19.140 And what's interesting is in early February, Hunt passed Cornyn in terms of our internal tracking on Eyes Over.

00:08:29.020 And then what we saw about three or four days later, that ends up popping up, I'm sure, in their internal polling.

00:08:35.380 And to your point, we've seen $13 million in recorded advertising anti-Hunt.

00:08:42.140 And you said his mother may not vote against him.

00:08:45.140 It's been something to watch.

00:08:46.840 So if there's $13 million that is spent on TV, and as you know, direct mail, grassroot, door-to-door, and digital doesn't get reported in the same way.

00:08:57.000 So I usually take that number and increase it by 60% to 70%.

00:09:00.740 So let's just say probably a conservative figure is somewhere in the range of $20 million has been spent attacking Wesley Hunt overall.

00:09:09.160 And you're right.

00:09:10.160 There hasn't been a lot of positive run in this campaign.

00:09:12.800 There has been a call Senator Cornyn and tell him what a great job he's doing shutting down the border, things like that.

00:09:19.240 But it has really been more of an anti-campaign.

00:09:23.160 It's been, it seems, the strategy of Cornyn and his supporters has been to do, to make people vote against Hunt and vote against Paxson rather than provide any sort of positive reasons for Cornyn.

00:09:37.960 And I'll say, you know, in modern politics, the race isn't just fought on TV anymore.

00:09:43.140 It's fought in the grassroots narrative ecosystem.

00:09:46.320 And the candidate who dominates that ecosystem has the momentum on the field.

00:09:51.740 And so I think from that standpoint is what those pro-Cornyn groups did by going after Hunt so aggressively is they may have given the race to Paxson without a runoff.

00:10:02.940 I want to talk about that.

00:10:05.440 So the inflection point with those polls you saw where it looked like Cornyn would not make a runoff.

00:10:11.660 There was a potential.

00:10:12.600 He was tied, I think, with Hunt behind Paxson.

00:10:14.980 And as you know, there would be some heads on pikes with this money spent by these outside groups and Senate Leadership Fund.

00:10:21.380 If he doesn't make a runoff, there's about 10 of the biggest professionals in modern American politics that would have a lot of explaining to do.

00:10:29.660 But as you've seen this, the coalition you're talking about, the wing, the populist grassroots, do you see a path tonight potentially where actually Ken Paxson could get 50% plus one vote?

00:10:42.240 Yeah, I do.

00:10:42.980 I think it is where he sits right now.

00:10:47.620 I mean, he is right at about 51% in our online tracking.

00:10:52.520 And it is, you know, there's a lot of things that can happen to alter that.

00:10:57.560 But I'll tell you, I saw, I've been CEO of this company since January 1st of 2025.

00:11:04.140 And in that time, I've seen us be exactly right on elections from New Jersey and Virginia to Malawi and Poland and Bolivia.

00:11:14.300 And I'm talking not just a little bit right, but exactly right.

00:11:17.240 A couple of weeks ago in Aragon in Spain, we were exactly right.

00:11:21.260 And so it is, it's stunning to me.

00:11:24.420 And like I said earlier, eyes over is really the momentum on the field.

00:11:28.420 You and I were texting earlier when I was telling you, I'm going to college basketball tonight.

00:11:31.400 I love basketball.

00:11:32.680 And a college basketball game tonight.

00:11:34.140 I love basketball.

00:11:34.920 And if you watch too much basketball, you know that sometimes the scoreboard doesn't represent what's going on on the court.

00:11:41.680 Because you have a team that gets a little turnover, they go on a run, and that's the momentum.

00:11:46.380 So polling is like the scoreboard, but what we measure is momentum.

00:11:50.140 So going into this, there's no question that Ken Paxton has the momentum.

00:11:55.920 And like I said, the momentum measures out at 51.7.

00:11:58.360 And usually those things converge almost exactly right at the end.

00:12:02.620 Now, sometimes primaries can be a weird thing if you get people who stay home.

00:12:05.480 And we certainly saw that in SD9, where for whatever reason, about half the Republican electorate in Texas, Senate District 9, special election in Texas,

00:12:13.680 where about half the Republican electorate just decided they didn't want to vote because it was cold outside.

00:12:18.280 And they figured they're going to win in November.

00:12:20.180 And so weird things can happen.

00:12:22.000 But based on what I'm seeing here, yes, Ken Paxton has an absolute chance to win this thing without a runoff.

00:12:27.720 Chris, where do people go to find out more about the company, social media, where they find out more about you?

00:12:33.000 So eyesover.us is our website.

00:12:35.380 You can go there and sign up for our weekly report that we send out every Wednesday.

00:12:38.780 It's free, and we kind of tell you what's going on in the world.

00:12:41.520 And so what's cool about that is we measure things in real time.

00:12:45.440 So last week we told the world that Donald Trump's State of the Union address was a home run.

00:12:51.180 And guess what?

00:12:51.820 The polling that came out echoed that.

00:12:53.740 When's the last time you saw that?

00:12:55.180 And then the second one is just for me, if you have insomnia issues and want to follow me, you can call and follow me in substack on Christopher S. Wilson or on X at Chris Wilson QED.

00:13:06.500 It's a Latin phrase from that.

00:13:08.440 Chris, not that we want to whine, but I wish we had gotten your eyes over report and gotten you on the phone with President Trump so we wouldn't have stepped on that on Friday with the bombing.

00:13:18.120 We might have let that breathe for a week or two.

00:13:20.660 It was such a home run.

00:13:22.220 Chris Wilson, thank you so much.

00:13:23.640 Good time at the game tonight.

00:13:24.520 Thank you for taking time away from the family.

00:13:26.080 Thanks, Steve.

00:13:26.600 Take care.

00:13:27.940 So that set the stage.

00:13:29.320 We've got Cliff Maloney.

00:13:31.380 Cliff Maloney's in our Palm Beach studio.

00:13:33.200 Cliff, you're going to be joining us tonight.

00:13:34.700 You're also on with the Charlie Kirk gang.

00:13:37.600 Thank you for joining us.

00:13:38.400 Your assessment, sir.

00:13:39.620 You're a guy that goes in the trenches door to door.

00:13:43.020 What's your thoughts about this primary?

00:13:45.780 I think this is going to be one of the best upgrades in America First history, right?

00:13:49.920 Going from Cornyn to Paxton.

00:13:51.980 I do think Paxton's got a shot.

00:13:53.960 I agree with Chris that it's going to be very close.

00:13:56.520 But, Steve, $69 million.

00:13:58.360 Hold on.

00:13:59.000 Hang on.

00:13:59.420 Hang on.

00:13:59.780 Hang on.

00:14:00.340 Slow down for a second.

00:14:00.980 You agree with Chris, which you think actually Paxton has a shot today to get to the – to have no runoff.

00:14:07.960 You think it could potentially get to 50% plus one vote?

00:14:12.760 Yeah, I think most people are expecting it to be somewhere in the mid-40s.

00:14:15.940 But I think, you know, if there's enough enthusiasm and if he peels off enough of those voters, today he's got a shot at it.

00:14:21.880 I do think, obviously, you know, he's in at least for the runoff.

00:14:26.080 I think the biggest problem that we're going to have here, Steve, and this is my frustration with the establishment, $69 million that they're spending to try to support Cornyn that could go towards all these America First battles, could go towards permanent infrastructure for us to build a real red wall.

00:14:42.920 And if this thing goes to a runoff with Cornyn in it, who's to say they don't spend another $100 million?

00:14:49.080 And so I just – I have such frustration for the Republican establishment that always get mad at us when we try to primary incumbents.

00:14:56.100 Now we're looking back at you.

00:14:58.020 Stop spending tens of millions of dollars to try to save a dying politician, this rhino, and let's actually go towards the future. 0.92

00:15:06.860 And that's what I think Ken Paxton represents.

00:15:09.600 I want to – you do this for a living.

00:15:11.620 Have you ever seen – because being down here, it's overwhelming.

00:15:15.760 I've never seen the scale of it.

00:15:17.120 I've never seen the viciousness of it.

00:15:19.160 I've never seen – and I know it's turned a lot of people off, but you – you're a pro.

00:15:22.820 Have you ever seen a scale of spending on negative ads to keep a guy basically alive in Cornyn?

00:15:29.540 Because it's not running on any positive message.

00:15:31.340 It's all destroying Wesley Hunt and Ken Paxton.

00:15:35.960 No, I would agree.

00:15:36.960 I mean, this is going to be record-shattering.

00:15:39.100 I think the numbers will prove that.

00:15:40.540 The only thing I can compare this to, Steve, is when I spent two months on the ground in Pennsylvania and saw them just light Donald Trump on fire with DNC money.

00:15:49.140 But when we're talking primaries, this is unprecedented.

00:15:52.240 And like I said, remember, if this goes to a runoff, we could be talking about seeing twice as much spending over the next month.

00:15:58.540 So I just – I'm praying Paxton gets there tonight.

00:16:01.760 It will be one of the biggest upgrades in electoral history to go from a Cornyn to a patriot like Ken Paxton and the America First movement.

00:16:10.380 You talk about opportunities.

00:16:12.240 This is one we have to win.

00:16:13.460 We've gone through – there's years in which nothing happens, decades in which nothing happens, and weeks in which so much everything happens.

00:16:24.880 We had this amazing State of the Union, which was really back to core Trump and the optics of it, the drama of it, the way he was like an – it was like – he was an orchestra conductor bringing in people, bringing in heroes, talking and calling the Democrats out in these perfect set pieces.

00:16:43.600 And you had so many people jacked up the next couple of days.

00:16:47.260 Then we had the bombing, and clearly there's some issues with the bombing.

00:16:51.240 Some people are very gung-ho on this.

00:16:52.760 Some people are uncertain.

00:16:53.740 Some people don't think they got enough information.

00:16:56.040 Some of the young people are quite upset about it.

00:16:58.240 But where do you think we are right now?

00:17:00.380 And do you think any of that will have any impact on turnout today in this primary?

00:17:07.080 Look, I think the State of the Union was a home run.

00:17:09.140 And I think that the moment that I was hoping to get, right, because, Steve, as people who are working on the ground trying to get voters to be excited, to try to get voters to be motivated, we always look for moments, right?

00:17:21.100 What are the little nuggets that we're going to have to get people to actually take the step and take action and get out and vote?

00:17:27.360 Steve, the moment from the State of the Union when Donald Trump said,

00:17:30.520 Stand if you agree that the American government should put Americans first over illegal aliens and to see them pan the room and not one Democrat standing up. 0.82

00:17:43.100 I don't get excited often, Steve.

00:17:44.560 You know I like to be a realist on your show and give it to the posse straight.

00:17:48.000 That was a moment that gave me hope for 2026 to think that's going to be something that if we narrate that right,

00:17:54.480 if we drive that message home, because that is what won with the America First movement in 2024,

00:18:00.520 was going back to the core issues, putting Americans first, not illegals. 0.96

00:18:04.740 I think that that picture and that paused moment where not one Democrat was standing for Americans over illegals, 0.76

00:18:12.280 that's what gives me hope.

00:18:13.340 And I think that's going to be one of the things we take from the State of the Union to try to motivate our base.

00:18:17.980 All right, Cliff, what's your social media, where they go about your door-knocking operation?

00:18:24.920 And we'll see you later tonight from the Palm Beach studio, where they go.

00:18:29.400 You got it.

00:18:30.140 Yeah, on X at Maloney, M-A-L-O-N-E-Y. 1.00

00:18:33.860 And then anybody that wants to get involved, DoorsWinWars.com.

00:18:38.100 We bring it to you as straight as it is.

00:18:40.460 DoorsWinWars.com.

00:18:41.600 You can sponsor a ballot chaser or come join us out in the field.

00:18:44.820 We got to win big in 2026, Steve.

00:18:46.380 I appreciate you.

00:18:47.980 Fantastic.

00:18:48.640 Say hi to all the Charlie Kirk guys.

00:18:50.000 We'll talk to you guys later in the evening.

00:18:53.080 Charlie Kirk team.

00:18:54.520 Posa's going to be over there. 0.87

00:18:55.500 Posa's going to be jumping back with us. 1.00

00:18:57.840 Cliff Maloney.

00:18:58.380 Do I have Caroline Wren?

00:18:59.740 Yeah.

00:19:00.440 The Caroline Wren.

00:19:01.340 Caroline Wren, as only you can do, ma'am, you lit up.

00:19:06.160 You put a couple of tweets out today that just lit people up, particularly Cornyn.

00:19:10.920 We had Barris on yesterday, and Barris said, hey, look, I got news for people.

00:19:14.620 We've been doing polling here.

00:19:15.760 The negativity in this race is so bad, right?

00:19:19.680 And Cornyn and these guys, the Senate Leadership Fund, they brought so much of this money in

00:19:23.020 here and destroyed a grassroots here or tried to destroy grassroots here.

00:19:27.000 And Ken Paxton, but then went after Wesley Hunt, which I told you is a decorated Apache 1.00

00:19:31.600 helicopter pilot that sits.

00:19:33.880 It was a West Point grad that sits on the board of West Point that's turned him off.

00:19:37.300 He says, hey, I think a third, I think 30% of the grassroots MAGA movement won't vote

00:19:42.080 for Cornyn in the general.

00:19:44.640 You kind of picked up on that theme today on your tweets.

00:19:48.380 Walk me through it.

00:19:50.420 Well, I think it's amazing.

00:19:51.560 I mean, Cornyn's closing message.

00:19:53.360 This is someone who's been in the Senate for 30 years.

00:19:56.040 He has a voting record for 30 years, and he cannot run on that voting record.

00:20:00.320 And so his entire closing message is Ken Paxton is unelectable.

00:20:04.080 He's going to lose the general.

00:20:05.480 So you have to vote for me to send me back for my, I don't know, fifth, sixth term.

00:20:10.060 And I just think it's preposterous because the idea that Ken Paxton is not electable is

00:20:14.060 just false.

00:20:14.780 I mean, Cornyn has had to spend, I know people are saying 69 million.

00:20:18.300 That is dramatically low.

00:20:19.620 That's just in hard dollars that we can track.

00:20:21.940 There's been a tremendous amount of money spent out of 501c4s and 501c3s, which are not

00:20:26.820 disclosed.

00:20:27.440 I think it's upwards of $100 million.

00:20:30.040 John Cornyn, the incumbent senator, has had to spend $100 million to Ken Paxton's $4 million.

00:20:36.600 $4 million.

00:20:37.440 That's how much Ken Paxton and his, you know, associated super PACs have spent.

00:20:42.040 And Cornyn is, I mean, very likely going to lose this primary tonight to someone, I can't 0.98

00:20:47.300 do that math, but that is someone you're tremendously outspending there.

00:20:51.260 And so it's just, it's ridiculous to think that he is, that Paxton is not electable in

00:20:55.840 general, and it's ridiculous to run in your closing messages as a five-term incumbent

00:21:00.280 that don't vote for this other guy.

00:21:03.600 I don't understand it.

00:21:04.980 Why do they think, as Chris Wilson broke out this kind of populist grassroots wing that

00:21:11.320 is so powerful here in Texas, what is it that the establishment, and not just the Texas

00:21:17.360 establishment, this is D.C.

00:21:18.800 establishment, what is it that the biggest donors, the biggest corporations, what do

00:21:24.000 they fear about a guy like Ken Paxton?

00:21:25.780 I mean, why is Cornyn so special that $100 million just for what potentially could be

00:21:31.320 the first round?

00:21:33.860 They should fear Ken Paxton.

00:21:35.660 If you're, Ken Paxton has gone after every major corporation in this country.

00:21:39.940 If they are violating antitrust laws, if they're violating the Texas constitution, and that

00:21:45.380 we've seen it over and over again when no other AG is willing to, because they're scared

00:21:49.300 it might piss off some of their donors.

00:21:50.940 And I'm speaking directly now to the Republican AGs, which are largely spineless.

00:21:54.700 Ken Paxton was willing to.

00:21:56.540 Think about it.

00:21:57.000 When they stole the election from Donald Trump in 2020, and we're all sitting there saying,

00:22:01.060 hey, they stole it.

00:22:01.960 Go do something.

00:22:02.720 Who was it that authored the amicus brief to back up Trump and say, no, no, no, you

00:22:07.180 can't do this?

00:22:07.760 It was Ken Paxton.

00:22:08.940 I had to help Ken.

00:22:10.200 I was calling all these other AGs, Republican AGs across the country saying, you need to sign

00:22:16.180 on to Ken Paxton's amicus brief.

00:22:18.160 None of them even had the guts to do it.

00:22:19.660 Finally, by the end, they were all kind of forced on to sign.

00:22:22.020 But that's because Ken Paxton is a leader for the people.

00:22:26.240 He is not the leader for corporations.

00:22:28.180 He's not the leader for the donor class.

00:22:30.080 He is a leader for the people of Texas.

00:22:32.580 And I'm praying that he gets to the Senate, because when you're in the Senate, the decisions

00:22:37.540 that you make don't just affect Texas.

00:22:39.060 They will affect the entire country.

00:22:40.860 And we need desperately someone like Ken Paxton.

00:22:44.380 Look at it right now with this crop of Republican senators we have.

00:22:47.100 We basically are relying on Mike Lee and then a handful of patriotic House members to try

00:22:52.800 and get the SAVE Act done, which I'm not even sure it's going to at this point, because

00:22:56.620 these senators, especially in the Republican side, they just they tell us one thing when

00:23:01.600 it's an election year and then they do the other.

00:23:03.820 And this brings me to my point, too, about Cornyn.

00:23:06.080 John Cornyn has run for reelection.

00:23:08.100 I think I said this is his fifth time.

00:23:09.920 And he's had to be accountable to voters.

00:23:11.740 And he has still done horrific votes that no Texas Republican and the majority of Texans

00:23:16.260 don't support, having to do with anything from gun rights and others.

00:23:19.320 Can you imagine if Cornyn gets another term? 0.59

00:23:21.560 He's 76 years old, so he will go in.

00:23:23.820 It's like 74, 76.

00:23:25.260 He'll go into his 80s.

00:23:26.140 He's not running again.

00:23:27.140 So he will be wholly unaccountable.

00:23:29.280 He will not be accountable to any voters.

00:23:31.100 He won't be accountable to Texas voters.

00:23:32.560 He's just going to go in there and do whatever he wants in this last term here.

00:23:35.960 And we cannot have that.

00:23:37.520 Ken Paxton will be accountable to the people of Texas.

00:23:40.220 This is why it is the most important race in this country, and he has to win. 0.93

00:23:46.160 Your assessment right now, by the way, if you're in Texas and you're hearing this,

00:23:49.700 you still have plenty of time to get to the polls, at least an hour or so.

00:23:54.140 So make sure you go.

00:23:55.600 Ken Paxton, do you believe Chris Wilson thinks he could actually take it tonight?

00:23:59.280 There's a possibility.

00:24:00.740 Cliff Maloney says, hey, maybe.

00:24:02.780 What does Caroline Wren say? 0.98

00:24:05.660 Well, you know me.

00:24:06.480 I always say on your show that I think polls are for strippers and firemen, not for predicting

00:24:10.400 elections.

00:24:10.860 And so I'm curious.

00:24:13.200 I was just in Texas this weekend, and the energy is certainly behind Ken Paxton.

00:24:17.480 The negative ads have had an effect.

00:24:19.260 I've talked to a few people who told me, oh, you know, I'm going to vote for Wesley Hunt

00:24:22.460 because of the negative ads are just too much for me on this.

00:24:25.480 But they they can't stand Cornyn.

00:24:28.120 And I've talked them up.

00:24:29.700 I've said, look, I think Wesley is a really good guy, but I think that he has no chance in

00:24:33.500 this.

00:24:33.660 So you're wasting your vote there.

00:24:35.080 You need to come over to Paxton.

00:24:36.060 Every single one of them switched over and said, all right, you're right.

00:24:38.600 I'm going to vote for Paxton.

00:24:39.860 And even if they hadn't, they're going to vote for Paxton in a runoff versus Cornyn.

00:24:43.300 So I can't envision a place where Paxton doesn't beat Cornyn in a runoff.

00:24:47.420 I hope that Paxton has a pretty decent size win tonight.

00:24:50.640 So then that way, maybe there'll be less money.

00:24:52.960 But I'm hearing the Cornyn people are saying they're going to spend another hundred million

00:24:56.900 dollars in three months.

00:24:57.980 That could be two hundred million dollars literally lit on fire in this race when we 0.74

00:25:03.680 have to defend much more competitive races in places like New Hampshire, North Carolina.

00:25:07.620 We have pickup opportunities in places like Michigan.

00:25:10.380 And instead, we're setting all this money on fire in Texas to anoint Cornyn to a another

00:25:16.820 term that literally nobody wants.

00:25:18.960 Cornyn doesn't even want it. 1.00

00:25:21.500 Caroline, run. 1.00

00:25:22.300 Where do people go?

00:25:23.020 You're on fire, ma'am. 0.99

00:25:24.220 Where do people go?

00:25:25.960 It's at Caroline ran on X, true social and getter.

00:25:31.100 I'm going to track you down.

00:25:32.180 I think we want you on your coverage tonight.

00:25:33.860 You're so good.

00:25:34.500 As usual, Caroline.

00:25:36.120 Thank you so much, ma'am.

00:25:37.300 Appreciate you so much.

00:25:39.380 OK, we're going to take a short commercial break.

00:25:41.920 You're in War Room, Texas.

00:25:43.800 As I said, at eight o'clock Eastern time, I'm going to join up with Grant Stinchfield in

00:25:48.880 Dallas.

00:25:49.260 We're north of Dallas.

00:25:50.280 And we're going to have our election night coverage on Real America's Voice.

00:25:55.140 It's going to be great.

00:25:56.720 Absolutely great.

00:25:57.580 We're really looking forward to this.

00:25:59.040 Short commercial break.

00:26:00.580 Back with some hitters in a moment.

00:28:31.600 Listen, folks, I want to tell you about this particular pharmacy because they're actually doing things right now for the American people.

00:28:40.220 They're the real deal, not another corporate chain.

00:28:44.180 If you're tired of fighting a broken system or begging for prescriptions, you need all-family pharmacy.

00:28:58.880 If your doctor refuses to prescribe ivermectin after everything we've seen, you need all-family pharmacy.

00:29:05.680 This is a real American family business with licensed doctors, fast shipping, and the meds families rely on.

00:29:13.340 It's simple.

00:29:15.440 Place the order online.

00:29:17.100 The doctor reviews it, and your meds arrive in a few days.

00:29:21.300 War Room listeners keep saying how smooth the process is and how much they love this, how grateful they are to finally have a pharmacy that gets them.

00:29:30.320 These folks at All-Family Pharmacy are breaking the control of these big pharmaceutical distribution systems.

00:29:57.120 If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt?

00:30:04.080 Let's see if we can help you with that.

00:30:06.620 If we could give yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief from your credit card and other debt?

00:30:13.620 I might have a solution.

00:30:15.920 Here's why now is the time to make a move.

00:30:18.760 This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books.

00:30:22.520 They clean up past due accounts.

00:30:24.820 They sell a write-off to debt to clear their books.

00:30:28.980 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.

00:30:37.380 That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.

00:30:43.220 And Dumb with Debt knows how to use this to your advantage.

00:30:46.860 They monitor lender trends and understand the year-end pressure on creditors.

00:30:50.860 They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf.

00:30:55.920 Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy or taking on new loans.

00:31:03.420 Dumb with Debt goes to work for you month one with one clear goal, to reduce your total debt and leave you with more money every month.

00:31:12.700 Get started now, because your leverage may disappear at the end of the year.

00:31:19.760 Chat with a done-with-debt specialist at donewithdebt.com.

00:31:23.660 That's donewithdebt.com, donewithdebt.com.

00:31:28.840 As Texas goes, so goes the nation.

00:31:45.440 Are you prepared to fight for this state?

00:31:48.480 Are you prepared to fight for your country?

00:31:50.660 Okay, welcome back.

00:31:54.880 I want to thank our two sponsors, Birch Gold with the world on fire.

00:31:59.420 I think you're going to understand now what geopolitical risk is.

00:32:02.660 Markets all over the place.

00:32:04.140 Straits are removed, closed.

00:32:06.100 Oil markets in turmoil.

00:32:07.960 Capital markets in turmoil.

00:32:09.880 Equities, bonds, all of it.

00:32:12.100 Make sure you understand why gold has been a hedge.

00:32:14.920 This time it's not the price of gold, it's the process that drives the value.

00:32:23.200 If you want it, you can get a copy, a hard copy of the Patriots edition of the first seven

00:32:28.540 installments we've done over the last, what, four or five years.

00:32:31.240 An eighth installment we're working on currently will be out online.

00:32:35.440 So make sure you talk to Philip Patrickton's team.

00:32:37.540 Also want to thank the team at Patriot Mobile, 972-PATRIOT.

00:32:42.120 Call it today, 972-PATRIOT.

00:32:44.540 Talk to someone with an East Texas accent that's a citizen.

00:32:48.220 Of these United States and the state of Texas.

00:32:51.820 Talk about the greatest phone service out there.

00:32:54.480 Also, their Christian values and how they manifest those through the work that they do.

00:33:01.220 Patriot Mobile, one of the best companies.

00:33:03.280 Jenny and Glenn Story.

00:33:05.320 Want to thank them for everything they've been doing down here.

00:33:08.100 Frank Gaffney, the Sharia Law, you've been working on this for a long time.

00:33:12.420 Today is so important.

00:33:13.360 If you haven't voted in Texas, you've still got a ways up until seven o'clock, I think, local time to vote.

00:33:19.200 So if you haven't vote, go out and vote.

00:33:21.400 It's very important you're part of this primary.

00:33:23.700 Your thoughts, sir, today as we're going to start counting them up in a couple hours.

00:33:28.420 Yeah, you're right, Steve.

00:33:30.760 These are the critical next few hours.

00:33:33.140 And I strongly encourage anybody who is eligible to vote and hasn't yet, go to the Republican primary ballot.

00:33:39.700 Because one of the most consequential items, I think, on it, taking nothing away from Ken Paxton's race and all the rest, is Proposition 10.

00:33:50.220 It's at the very bottom of it.

00:33:53.720 It's only five words long.

00:33:55.840 Texas should prohibit Sharia law. 1.00

00:33:58.220 And it's so vitally important that that be not only approved, but approved decisively, that you've moved here for the past month or so, as have I, to help patriotic Texans expose the true nature of Sharia. 0.91

00:34:18.180 The mortal threat that it represents, yes, for sure, to the state of Texas, where it is metastasizing as we speak, but also for every other state in the union, where similar efforts to penetrate and subvert and ultimately overthrow our constitutional republic are underway.

00:34:38.700 Don't take my word for it.

00:34:40.180 That's what the Muslim Brotherhood itself has said.

00:34:42.780 And by the way, speaking of the Muslim Brotherhood, a segue from your last segment with Mike Lindell in the previous hour of the show, you were sort of ruminating why, you know, Keith Ellison would be so keen to stop Mike Lindell from getting, you know, the nomination to become the governor of his state, Minnesota.

00:35:06.660 Well, there's one other item.

00:35:07.880 Keith Ellison is a Muslim Brotherhood, or at least a Muslim Brotherhood asset, for sure.

00:35:13.520 Was, you know, throughout his public life, certainly in the United States Congress.

00:35:17.180 And now he's the Attorney General of the state of Minnesota.

00:35:21.340 And he wants to stop a man who has said repeatedly on your program and elsewhere his first order of business as governor, Mike Lindell says this, would be banning Sharia law.

00:35:33.340 Well, why is that so important to get a booster rocket behind people like Mike Lindell all across America is because what we're witnessing here, and we've been talking about it, Steve, and I think the people of Texas, whenever they hear this stuff, are naturally going to say, no, we don't want that here.

00:35:54.520 For example, this epic city, it caught a lot of people's attention because it's an incipient no-go zone.

00:36:02.020 We've seen them all over Europe.

00:36:03.160 It's part of the takedown of Western civilized nations.

00:36:07.060 We've seen, for example, in addition, there's something, our friend Kristen Deering, one of our great Texan patriots who's done some terrific research on all this, says there's 600, at least 600, Sharia supremacist organizations, mosques, schools, front organizations, influence operations, what have you, in the state of Texas.

00:36:30.440 And then, get this, over the past nine years, they've garnered $4 billion in taxpayer funds from either the federal or the state government.

00:36:39.960 And then there's this, halal food is now being served as the only food in numerous state institutions.

00:36:49.140 You don't know it.

00:36:50.540 You're just getting fed food consecrated to the Muslim god Allah. 1.00

00:36:54.900 And, by the way, obtained from animals through the most horrific, barbaric means possible.

00:37:02.280 So, anyway, all of this is now building, and I think it's going to translate into a strong vote to prohibit Sharia law, a yes vote on Proposition 10.

00:37:11.620 If you haven't cast a ballot for it, still can, do it.

00:37:15.600 Frank, thank you for your help.

00:37:17.080 You know, Burquam started, we started the 5 o'clock show, Eastern Time, the early edition of the afternoon show, with Burquam out there at Epic, at the original, before they built Epic City, the original.

00:37:28.320 It's massive.

00:37:29.240 I don't think people understand the scale of this Islamic invasion in Texas. 0.98

00:37:33.860 It is jaw-dropping what they've done.

00:37:36.120 We have Peter McIlvenny came over here.

00:37:38.020 He was an expert in London, and he said he spent a week in November.

00:37:41.000 He said, Steve, I don't think you guys quite comprehend that, given the same time frame, how much more sophisticated and advanced they are than 20 years ago, when they really started moving into London.

00:37:52.500 And, of course, London's standard day is gone.

00:37:55.100 London has fallen.

00:37:56.120 Frank, social media, you're going to be up with us later tonight on this vote on election night.

00:38:01.140 Thank you for all your work in shifting the flag down here.

00:38:03.520 Where do people go to get all your content?

00:38:05.740 Well, just a final thought on that, Steve.

00:38:08.960 It's not an accident that people don't have any sense of the degree this is happening.

00:38:13.760 It's by design.

00:38:15.520 Stealthy jihad, followed by the violent kind, is the ticket.

00:38:19.820 My social media is at Frank Gaffney on X.

00:38:23.540 You can find our work at securingamerica.substack.com, our show, right here on Real America's Voice.

00:38:30.820 We're right there on Real America's Voice.

00:38:32.340 We also, of course, Steve, have banned sharia.com.

00:38:37.760 I entreat people of Texas, especially, but across the nation, to take advantage of the resources that are there.

00:38:44.280 It will clue you up and enable you to help become part of the fight to keep America free.

00:38:50.480 Because, as I like to say, if sharia is not prohibited, sharia will prohibit freedom in our country. 0.99

00:38:58.060 Amen.

00:38:58.700 Frank Gaffney, we'll see you later tonight.

00:39:00.360 Thank you for all your work, Bansharia, Bansharia.com.

00:39:04.000 Talking about violent jihad, so let me just give you the chain of custody on this story.

00:39:10.720 David Nino Rodriguez, who has one of the biggest podcasts, and not the biggest podcast, originating from Texas.

00:39:17.100 I guess Joe Rogan's from Austin, so I can't end.

00:39:19.560 You got also Alex Jones.

00:39:21.040 But one of the bigger podcasts down in El Paso.

00:39:23.120 You came to me on Saturday night, and we can't give the sources because David's plugged in everywhere.

00:39:28.540 David said, hey, this thing, I'm telling you, the counterterrorism series is going to set up. 0.92

00:39:32.500 This was a terrorist attack, Muslim terrorist attack. 0.95

00:39:36.680 Sunday morning, we talked about it. 0.97

00:39:38.160 We didn't feel comfortable enough because the government was not coming out with it.

00:39:42.580 So you weren't on our special coverage on the Sunday show.

00:39:45.960 But then it's shortly thereafter, I think early Sunday afternoon, they confirmed what you had told me.

00:39:51.340 Now today, earlier in the day, and a lot's taken place, but you've got inside sources.

00:39:56.060 It was announced that the officers who basically put this situation down were going to a grand jury.

00:40:05.460 Then the governor came out and said, hey, because the thing blew up.

00:40:09.480 People were tweeting it out.

00:40:10.740 I think Savannah Hernandez, the great Savannah Hernandez put it up, and the thing blew up.

00:40:15.780 It went viral, and Governor Abbott stepped in and says, hey, I get the final say-so in this,

00:40:21.400 and I'm going to make sure nothing takes place here.

00:40:23.800 And I think just as we're coming on air, David, they announced that there's not going to be any charges,

00:40:29.200 and they have to go through this every time.

00:40:31.680 But that's not what it felt like initially.

00:40:34.520 Your sense of this, and this is what happens when we came out with the conference we had six weeks ago

00:40:40.140 to kick off Prop 10 of the prohibiting Sharia law in Texas.

00:40:45.140 A couple days later, I think it was Austin City Council.

00:40:48.740 The Austin people were down, oh, no, we're going to be Sharia compliant. 0.96

00:40:51.600 We're going to have Sharia Appreciation Day, Muslim Appreciation Day. 0.98

00:40:57.300 These enclaves, and you saw this in Dallas with this jury nullification on the Trendy Aragra murder trial

00:41:04.220 where they tortured the gang member who they thought stiffed,

00:41:08.380 and they tortured him in front of his nieces and nephews, and they had jury nullification.

00:41:13.320 These blue cities like Austin, brother, and maybe El Paso, you get caught sideways as a police officer security.

00:41:21.140 You're in bad shape, sir.

00:41:23.880 Absolutely.

00:41:24.540 That's common practice in Mexico, to be honest with you, Steve.

00:41:27.120 But I want to say that El Paso right now is having the highest early turnout of Republicans breaking records right now,

00:41:34.020 showing up to the polls.

00:41:34.940 So that's good news.

00:41:37.460 So, you know, it seems to me like, oh, and they're having trouble with the voting machines.

00:41:42.120 That's another thing I had to bring up.

00:41:43.740 So they're, like magic, trouble with the voting machines as more and more Republicans are heading to the polls today.

00:41:51.500 Just what you would expect, right?

00:41:53.260 But, you know, the DA, Jose Garza, is really just a simp for the Democratic Socialite.

00:42:00.440 I want to make sure.

00:42:01.260 This is the DA in Austin, correct?

00:42:03.640 Jose Garza?

00:42:04.460 Yeah.

00:42:04.920 Yeah, Jose Garza.

00:42:05.800 Travis County.

00:42:06.760 Talk to us about that.

00:42:08.520 Allegedly has links to George Soros for his funding.

00:42:10.680 Allegedly.

00:42:11.740 But, you know, nobody in the law enforcement in Austin that I know like the guy.

00:42:16.560 You know, basically he's neutering them to perform their job under pressure.

00:42:21.560 You know, you go to a high-stakes situation with adrenaline flowing.

00:42:26.360 You got to take a guy down.

00:42:27.680 What, now they got to worry about going to a grand jury?

00:42:29.640 Are you kidding me?

00:42:30.780 This is a joke.

00:42:32.320 And, you know, like I said, and I'll use this word again, simp.

00:42:35.200 He's a simp for the Democratic Socialist Party.

00:42:38.820 David, talk to us about this situation, this situation where the guy had, what, a long gun?

00:42:43.480 Yeah, he shot with a pistol first, right?

00:42:45.680 But the way that bar's set up, you're easy targets, man. 0.96

00:42:49.100 You're sitting ducks.

00:42:49.700 Like I've said, I've been to that bar many times.

00:42:51.760 Had a lot of fun in that bar many times.

00:42:54.380 And the outside right there is a patio facing the street, the 6th Street.

00:42:59.660 So, yeah. 0.97

00:43:00.420 I mean, anybody who's crazy enough to just start firing at the people on that patio, you're going to hit somebody. 1.00

00:43:06.260 You're going to kill somebody. 0.99

00:43:07.160 And that's exactly what happened. 0.99

00:43:08.540 So you don't even need to enter the bar.

00:43:11.060 So the fact that he was taken down, I applaud those heroes in the Austin Police Department.

00:43:15.880 But they shouldn't have this backlash.

00:43:17.860 They shouldn't even have to worry about facing a grand jury.

00:43:20.800 But they're saying, well, this is protocol.

00:43:22.560 This is what happens.

00:43:24.040 It's a natural process.

00:43:25.580 But really, it's Jose Garza just neutering the policemen from doing their job.

00:43:30.400 And now you've got to think twice.

00:43:31.500 Well, if I take a guy down, what's going to happen to me?

00:43:33.400 I'm going to go to jail?

00:43:34.460 Could I go to jail?

00:43:35.360 Am I going to be the criminal?

00:43:38.580 It's evil.

00:43:41.380 Talk to me a second about your knowledge on that night.

00:43:45.320 And you knew because the guy had on property a sweatshirt.

00:43:49.700 He had a Quran in his car, a prayer rig in his car. 0.97

00:43:52.960 It was pretty obvious at the time for people that are knowledgeable of these things about this was just not some guy on a Saturday night that had a beef with somebody talking to his girlfriend, right?

00:44:04.480 Right.

00:44:04.860 No, this is property of Allah as a sweater he was wearing.

00:44:08.180 I mean, how perfect of a situation, right?

00:44:11.440 But I think this guy was just a one-off loony bin that went out there and did this job.

00:44:15.900 I'm worried about a more coordinated attack coming.

00:44:19.520 You know, and that's where my mind goes with this.

00:44:21.740 But, yeah, I anticipated this.

00:44:23.860 I knew this was going to kick off.

00:44:25.620 Like I said, they all work together.

00:44:27.720 But this one, I think, is a wild card one-off.

00:44:30.380 I think what we need to worry about is a coming more coordinated attack.

00:44:35.680 And I don't think they're just going to fire off from the hip, you know, just whenever they want.

00:44:41.120 I think they're waiting for something more coordinated.

00:44:43.120 I'm not trying to scare the audience here, but I think we should all be on our P's and Q's and our ears and eyes wide open.

00:44:48.580 You were the guy that gave everybody a heads up on the cartel situation at these resorts for six months.

00:44:53.800 You said, hey, I wouldn't go down there.

00:44:55.940 So tonight, two things happened.

00:44:57.740 Number one, obviously, they're hitting—the Iranians are hitting targets in the Gulf during Ramadan that are Muslim targets. 0.89

00:45:04.840 Also, Qatar broke up two sleeper cells of Iranians today, Iranian-affiliated people.

00:45:12.480 They broke up two terror cells.

00:45:13.940 When you say you look at it more coordinated, Marco Rubio today and Lindsey Graham were saying, hey, the big massive wave of attacks that the West are bringing, the American military with the Israelis, and now we know the Saudis want to be a part of it. 0.93

00:45:29.620 Maybe the UAE wants to be a part of it because they've been attacked.

00:45:31.980 Abu Dhabi was hit earlier, and our consulate in Abu Dhabi was hit—or, excuse me, in Dubai.

00:45:39.020 Our consulate in Dubai was hit, not the embassy in Abu Dhabi.

00:45:42.420 But knowing that it could be a massive hit tonight, are you more concerned than ever that you could see a coordinated blowback?

00:45:51.140 Absolutely.

00:45:51.840 I think everyone should be concerned.

00:45:53.340 I mean, if you were them, right, if we're looking at—for wargaming this, I would do it as a coordinated effort, maybe multiple mass shootings at once or take down the infrastructure, however they decide to do that.

00:46:05.900 You know, have the police go to one section of the city, then go in—I mean, this could be—I would be using strategy.

00:46:10.940 These people—you know, the first guy we saw in Austin was a crazed—what I would call just a crazed lunatic, took the matter into his own hands.

00:46:17.100 But I think what they're waiting for is a more coordinated effort—you know, if I had to wargaming this, that's what I'd be looking for, a more coordinated effort to take down America.

00:46:26.440 They've got to do it right the first time.

00:46:27.800 They're not going to get a second chance at this.

00:46:30.220 Does that make sense?

00:46:31.760 Yeah, it makes total sense.

00:46:32.720 You were there and set up the flares when Biden had the invasion, and one of the worst parts was obviously along the border with El Paso.

00:46:43.360 Knowing that 15, 20, 25 million essentially came through the border and into the interior of the United States, that wasn't just all Mexicans or people from South America.

00:46:54.500 You had a number of potential jihadis that came across.

00:46:57.220 What is your fear for the invasion we've had, and what would you recommend to President Trump since now we've kind of gone back to targeting enforcement?

00:47:05.260 What would you say we've got to start thinking about deportations overall?

00:47:09.700 Sharia law, man, that can't be allowed in this country. 1.00

00:47:13.160 You know, when I was—you know, obviously, I live in El Paso, and I was watching people jump that fence like acrobats, like Cirque du Soleil, okay?

00:47:22.460 Like, I was like, wow, even in my prime in boxing, I couldn't jump a fence like that and land on my feet and then dodge cars all the way through the highway.

00:47:29.060 I mean, these guys were athletic, and they were military-aged men, so I knew the gig was up.

00:47:33.060 I knew what was going on.

00:47:34.000 I knew they were going to be activated for such a time as now.

00:47:36.320 But I think these raids that Trump—that ICE has performed in these last—you know, this first year of Trump's presidency, I think that's the first operation of this phase, first phase of the operation, taking down the dangerous, maybe organizers, controllers of coordinated attacks.

00:47:53.840 So I think that's another reason why we haven't seen anything yet, yet, yet.

00:47:58.620 But I still think that, you know, they probably just put a dent into the immigrants. 1.00

00:48:04.720 There's millions here, you know.

00:48:06.280 There's millions of them here that are unvetted.

00:48:08.640 So to me, I think they would wait for the perfect time to do that, such a coordinated event, a perfect time.

00:48:15.680 And I don't know when that will be, but only they do.

00:48:19.460 But I would just tell everyone, you know—and also, I'd like to say the expats in Mexico might be a good time to come back to America and visit your family.

00:48:28.860 You're still concerned about the cartels, the whole cartel issue, right?

00:48:32.700 Yeah.

00:48:33.180 I mean, I grew up through this stuff.

00:48:35.780 I know firsthand, you know, and they don't mess around.

00:48:39.420 They do not mess around.

00:48:41.160 I mean, this is not like conventional warfare.

00:48:43.760 They don't do that stuff.

00:48:46.700 Nino, where do people get your podcasts?

00:48:48.760 Where do they get all your social media?

00:48:51.480 Nino Boxing—oh, sorry.

00:48:53.160 Nino Boxer on X-N-I-N-O Boxer.

00:48:56.320 And then Nino's Corner on YouTube and NinosCorner.tv for the fringe, baby.

00:49:02.620 Let's push it out.

00:49:03.540 Let's make sure we push it out.

00:49:04.680 Nino Rodriguez, thank you so much for joining us today.

00:49:07.180 Always love your insights.

00:49:08.360 You were on top of this Austin story like nobody else.

00:49:11.380 Thank you, sir.

00:49:13.760 Okay, some logistics.

00:49:16.780 We're going to—Grant Stinchfield's about to start on RAV.

00:49:19.700 We're going to take a short break here.

00:49:21.960 We're going to rejoin on the main RAV station channel, Grant Stinchfield, at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

00:49:31.140 We're going to kick off our coverage tonight of the Texas primary.

00:49:35.220 Obviously, we'll be talking also about North Carolina and Arkansas, all the things that are happening.

00:49:38.520 Stinchfield and myself will be doing a two-hander here throughout the night.

00:49:42.920 We're going to have some tremendous guests.

00:49:44.960 Pollsters, people know what's going on in Texas.

00:49:47.520 Our own Ben Burquam will be at the Paxton headquarters doing live updates.

00:49:53.380 Of course, Chris Wilson, who's a data scientist, thinks there could be a possibility that seeing the momentum of Ken Paxson, even with all this money spent against him, that Ken Paxson may have a shot to actually close it out tonight.

00:50:07.600 We'll see that.

00:50:08.240 Obviously, Prop 10, the prohibiting a Sharia law in the state of Texas, is up on the Republican ballot.

00:50:15.500 If it gets enough momentum tonight, we'll push it forward.

00:50:19.780 But what four or five weeks have been here have been quite an eye-opener.

00:50:24.600 One thing I will tell you, and I want to thank Patriot Mobile for helping us out down here and assisting us in introducing the people, the grassroots in this state, the MAGA movement in this state.

00:50:33.920 This is the railhead for the MAGA movement, and, man, we've got great states like Tennessee, Ohio, Florida, just incredible.

00:50:41.540 But I've got to tell you, the grassroots here are very, very special people.

00:50:44.780 We're going to see how it manifests itself tonight.

00:50:47.460 And remember, the Democrats are putting up presidential election cycle numbers.

00:50:52.380 So we're going to break it all down for you.

00:50:54.280 We'll see you back on Real America's Voice at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, and we'll stay until we get some answers in this primary.

00:51:02.320 Thank you very much.
