What are the implications of Texas courts blocking Trump's redistricting efforts?

Unknown 0:00
This is Texas redistricting. This is very much going to be about 2026. We might have Epstein be about 2026, but this as well. The state of Texas tried to redraw the maps, add five more seats, and now a federal judge has said, No, you can't. Three of them, actually. So three and redistricting cases. Oftentimes the law requires that they are held, that they are heard initially by a three judge panel. And that's what happened here. And they are saying that the redistricting effort that Texas undertook here was done in a way that wasn't just partisan. It was overtly racial in its gerrymandering approach. such that the plaintiffs who sued, and there were multiple groups of them, are entitled to a preliminary injunction that blocks the use of those maps for the 2026 election and requires Texas to go back to their 2021 maps.

They're saying that having a legislatively drawn map is preferable to courts drawing the map and getting involved in that themselves. They recognize time is of the essence. And usually when you have an election right around the corner, a Supreme Court case called Purcell sort of begs that court sort of back off and not get involved. And they say, here, the evidence of the partisan and racial gendering was so obvious and flagrant that despite that Supreme Court case cautioning courts not to get involved, they had to override it. That's interesting. So I think it's December 7th or December 8th that lawmakers have to file for their candidacy, which means there's only a few weeks for this court to bring it up to or for Texas to appeal this to the Supreme Court.
Unknown 1:36
That's right. The Supreme Court would need to weigh in before then. What is the likelihood of that happening? I think the likelihood of it happening is high. At least the court may determine and say that they're not going to take it, in which case the court's decision, the lower court's decision today would stay in place. But I think it's more likely that they'll use it as an opportunity to say, whether or not all of these redistricting attempts that are happening at DOJ's invitation expressly all over the country should happen now or not. It's not typical for mid-decade redistricting to happen, and there's a reason why.
Steve Bannon 2:13
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
Brian Harrison 2:37
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

How did the federal judge rule on the Texas redistricting case?

Steve Bannon 2:47
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.

It's Tuesday, 18 November, Year of Our Lord 2025. Okay, here's what we're going to do today. I've got Rabbi Pesach Walicki, a good buddy of mine, is going to co-host today. We've got a lot to talk about. Brian Harrison is going to join us in a moment. Big news coming out of Texas on the Muslim Brotherhood and Care, but signal, not noise, redistricting, which we have to win redistricting or midterms are going to be very tough. We're going to get to all that. I'm here for the first half hour with the rabbi and Brian Harrison at 6 o'clock. I've got to step out for a meeting, but at 6 o'clock, we're going to have While Israel Slept, Yaakov Katz is with me. I'm back here with the entire hour to go through October 7th.
Steve Bannon 3:46
Remember, we had him on a couple weeks ago. People raved about it. This book is fantastic, so we'll get to all of it. Brian Harrison first, before we get to the Muslim Brotherhood and care. We got kind of a bombshell today down in Texas. I'm not so sure this is not an unforced error, but where are we? This is vital, brother, because right now the Democrats are climbing over the ramparts on this redistricting fight and establishment Republicans in Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, we're all sudden getting cold feet.
