What are the threats posed by Islamic extremism in Texas?

Unknown 0:08
Islamic jihadis are plotting against you. Why in the hell you think they're in Houston and in north of Dallas? They are working together to overthrow Western civilization.
Debbie Georgiadis 0:18
Sharia compounds, which are areas governed by religious rules.
Unknown 0:22
We know who you are, we know what you are, and we know what you're trying to accomplish, and it is not going to happen in the jewel of the crown of the union of this republic. We purge any attempt to impose Sharia law in Texas. They are not coming. They are already here. You are not here properly and you're going to leave. On the 3rd of March, Sharia law goes on the ballot in the state of Texas.

How is Sharia law being addressed in Texas politics?

Stephen K. Bannon 0:50
The United States Constitution and Sharia are fundamentally at odds with one another.
Unknown 0:54
We're going to tell them, take your Sharia law and shove it. Islam will never dominate the United States and by the grace of God. God, it will not dominate Texas. As Texas goes, so goes the nation. As the nation goes, so goes the world. Are you prepared to fight for this state? Are you prepared to fight for your country? War Room, Texas, where your host, Stephen K. Bannon, starts right now.
Stephen K. Bannon 1:27
Thank you.

Why is grassroots support crucial for political change?

Stephen K. Bannon 1:27
Friday, 13 February in the year of our 2026. We've got a packed show today. Luke Macias is going to join us, one of the top political minds in the state, observers, also comes at it with a grassroots perspective, also Debbie Giorgades, and she is a sitting member of the Republican National Committee and also a grassroots leader and a media star down here. I want to start with Luke, with Wade Miller. Wade, CRA, talk to me about your experience. 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, but it's vitally important to grassroots support this. This is one of the most hotly contested Senate primaries, and I think the nation since the Republican primary.
Stephen K. Bannon 2:15
And now that Robeson dropped out of Congress, The governor's primary against Andy Biggs in Arizona, which were the two top races, I think is the focal point of grassroots throughout the nation. Sharia law is very important.

What role does the Republican National Committee play in Texas?

Stephen K. Bannon 2:30
What is your experience with this? CRA has become kind of one of the thought leaders. We got papers, you got studies, you got analysis. 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?
Wade Miller 2:46
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. Too many on our side look at this through just, well, it's religious liberty. The Constitution says that, of course, you can be Muslim. And yes, that's correct. But there's a fundamental difference. So the Constitution came out of a Christian culture.

How does the grassroots movement impact the upcoming elections?

Wade Miller 3:07
The Constitution reflects the values of of a Christian people. And so they are very simpatico. What we're seeing, especially with, and we already see it in Europe, and we're seeing it increasingly in the United States, 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. And so we're seeing, and people like Amy Meck, they cover this all the time, All of these radicalized perspectives, and there is an intention by this Islamic minority to start to insert Islam and Sharia into law or effectively make it de facto law, depending on how they want to structure the Sharia courts. And I think that there's going to be, from a public policy perspective, a political perspective, there's going to be people who will say no to this.
Wade Miller 3:58
But the practical application of it, if the grassroots and if we don't get principled leadership in Texas, will be that it will still march forward. People will say just enough to get elected. I mean, this is kind of the hallmark of Greg Abbott.

What strategies are being used to combat radical ideologies?

Wade Miller 4:11
He will say something that sounds great, and then the practical application on the back end is nothing. There's no teeth to it, whether it's the border, whether it's radical Islam. The only reason he will ever do anything is if the temperature rises enough to where he does the political calculus that he needs to do something.
