People say we passed laws to ban Epic City.

Well, Epic City just rebranded.

It's called The Meadows, and it's proceeding on as fast as ever because of exceptions into laws we've passed that are supposed to deal with things like that.

And then number three, which, again, I put these all in low-hanging fruit, should have been done by now, but it's far harder than people would imagine, even though we're a Republican government down here.

The parts of the law that we have touched regarding Sharia, it's only one little part of the family code.

At a bare minimum, we should expand that to all the other relevant parts of the statutes and the codes down here in Texas.

We should be holding hearings on this, by the way.

Right now, something that I don't think has ever happened here in the state of Texas, not in many years.

So we need to be holding hearings and then doing those three things.

And there's nothing stopping us from doing that right now, today, tomorrow, this week.

The only reason we're not taking action

quite frankly, is because what Austin lacks is courage.

And it lacks it on many issues.

As you know, we've talked about that many times.

Well, I mean, just throw it on the laundry list of shocking, abhorrent, but true ways in which the Texas taxpayers, hardworking, overtaxed men and women of the state of Texas have for far too long, we're talking decades here, had their money taken from them by the state government, the supposedly Republican Texas government here, and weaponized against them, their children, and their values, and the list is long.

They've been funding the biggest DEI program maybe in the country, some of the biggest transgender indoctrination in the country,

And then you're exactly right, Steve.

We don't know the exact number.

I don't think anybody does.

My office, best we can determine, at least in the tens of millions of dollars that have been flowing through grant programs through the state government out of Austin to these organizations that almost certainly have nexuses and ties to violent strains of Islam or terror organizations that do have the intent of the violent overthrow movement.
