Chapter 1: What threats are Islamic jihadis posing in Texas?
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.
Sharia compounds, which are areas governed by religious rules.
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.
Chapter 2: How is Sharia law being introduced into Texas legislation?
The United States Constitution and Sharia are fundamentally at odds with one another.
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... 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. Your host, Stephen K. Bannon, starts right now.
It's Tuesday, January 20th in the year of our Lord, 2026. It is the first anniversary of President Trump's first year of the miraculous return. Colonel Keith Self joins us. Colonel, first off, we started this morning with the secretary of treasury in Davos live. We had him for about a half hour. And one of the things we talked about is the situation in Greenland and all this. But it underpins.
this issue about NATO and about the defense of the United States. And what underpins that is the national security strategy memo that came out that's 33 pages long. It's kind of an overview. It's required by law for the president to put it out, the commander in chief. He put it out and being 33 pages as an overview, he didn't really get to Europe until page 29.
And I've told all my European colleagues and I've done interviews, that's a signal in and of itself. Inside the first paragraph on the 29th page, they talked about the issue of civilizational erasure. And one of the fundamental issues we have with NATO right now is we don't know where Germany and France and the Netherlands and Belgium and the United Kingdom are gonna be.
They actually say they don't know who's gonna actually govern them in 20 years. Now, that is talking not just about their financial problems, but the financial problems that are based upon this unlimited migration they've had. Can you comment on that, sir, about this is a civilizational issue?
Absolutely, I can. In fact, in my subcommittee, I chair the Europe subcommittee on the Foreign Affairs Committee, I will have a, in the next few weeks, I will have a hearing on the mass migration, because the mass migration is part of the hybrid war that is going on in Europe today.

Chapter 3: What role does school choice play in funding Islamic schools?
China, Russia are importing these masses of people to basically change from a Christian civilization, a self-governing civilization, into something that represents chaos and it is... to change them into tyranny, to put it bluntly. So yes, I can comment on it. And it is ongoing.
And look, an ambassador, and I'm not going to name the ambassador, and the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in a foreign country, a European country, just left my office. And I will tell you, they are very concerned about this. It's one of the conservative nations. Because Europe as a whole may not be Europe in 10 to 20 years from now. Look at the UK. Look at France.
They are already fundamentally changed. In fact, I've asked, should the UK still be part of the Five Eyes Intelligence Program? The Five Eyes Intelligence Program are those closest allies that we share the most sensitive intelligence with. I'm not sure that the UK still deserves to get our most sensitive intelligence.
You know, this is exactly the reason we've launched War Room Texas. It's the reason we had this amazing conference that Glenn Beck helped us put on. And we had Gerd Wilders. We had Gerd Wilders for a reason. He was probably the Cassandra warning 20 years ago about what was happening. And we had Peter McElvenny from UK came over. And Peter told us after spending a week
in the Dallas Metroplex, Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area. He said, hey, guys, I got a heads up for you. At the same kind of time frame in the beginning of this invasion in Britain, he says, you guys are much farther gone. So Connect was at Commerce in McKinney, Texas, to what's happening in Europe. And this is the whole reason we started this show.
We're trying to wake people up early enough that this situation could be handled because All of my colleagues, and I've spent a lot of time and done a lot of business, a lot of finance in the United Kingdom and France particularly, the closest friends I've got there are saying, Steve, this thing may be too far gone. There may not be any alternative than some sort of violent civil war.

Chapter 4: How is the privatization agenda affecting education in Texas?
Yeah, I think you're referring to the invasion of Sharia law through the mosques, through the Muslims in North Texas. And yes, it is reaching a critical point. The number of mosques that are being built, Epic City, now renamed the Meadows, in my district, in my district in North Texas, 400 plus acres meant to be built around a large mosque, built to be a Muslim-only community.
You know what will happen next. There will be no-go zones for police, but this is a serious issue. And Steve, I can't tell you how fast this has moved just since you and I talked last. We now have a school district in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that had CARE, the NGO of the Muslim Foundation, sponsoring this event. It was going to be an Islamic event sponsored by them.
Look, the state officials are all over it. I hope they can stop it. I hope they can put a stop to this. But then Joanne Fleming, who is one of the true conservatives in East Texas, just recently said that as she interviews candidates, What they are telling her is as they door knock now for that March 3rd primary, the number one issue they're hearing is Sharia, the invasion of Sharia into Texas.
So it's moving fast. Look, the Commissioner's Court, back to Epic City, the Commissioner's Court said, you have these problems with your application. but the application has already gone to the Commissioner's Court. Now, they pointed out some problems with it, but they will come back, and the Commissioner's Court will have to address this issue from a Collin County standpoint.
So this is moving very fast. The indicators are starting to pour out. I hope that people are beginning to be aware of just how dangerous Sharia is in North Texas. I mean, think about that, Texas. Rugged individualism is our hallmark, and yet Sharia is on the march in North Texas.
As I tell people, it was a couple of months ago we had this meeting and we were there after the redistricting fight in Texas. And it was a group of people that had been instrumental in bringing that up to the governor's attention and fighting. And you joined that meeting and you said, hey, this is the most important issue we have.
And my understanding of your background, I said, man, if Keith Self is saying that this thing is big and then when I drilled down, it blew me away. Just give a second for audience, particularly people that are now joining. War Room, Texas.

Chapter 5: What concerns are being raised about the Islamic community in North Texas?
What are your bona fides? I mean, it's kind of serendipity or providential that it turns out that in this part of North Texas, north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex area, they actually have a congressman with your background.
Well, thank you for asking, Steve. It starts out, I was in the embassy in Cairo, Egypt, back in the 80s. Spent two years there. That was when Mubarak was in charge. And frankly, Mubarak was having his security forces kick down doors and shoot the Muslim Brotherhood inside the room. That was when Mubarak in Egypt understood the danger of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Then I worked with, while I was in Germany, I worked with the IDF in Israel. So I've seen both sides of the Palestinian issue there across the Egypt-Israel line. I'm actually one of the few people in Congress that has ever been through the Rafah Gate into Gaza and driven through Gaza. Now, it was years ago when the Rafah Gate was still open, but I'm one of the few people that's done it.
Then I was in active duty in Afghanistan. I saw the tribalism there. I was in the Gulf with Central Command during the Second Gulf War for Iraq. So I've got several years, and then I've traveled throughout the Middle East. So I've seen the impact of Sharia, because when you think about the countries that have been conquered by Sharia in the Middle East,
They were not Sharia-based organizations and governments back 100 years ago. but they are today, which is why I have such optimism in Iran, because Iran is different than the other Arab Muslim nations. First of all, they're Persian, ethnic Persians. Secondly, they have an old and ancient civilization. Thirdly, they're Shia.
And we think of Shia as being aggressive, but frankly, the Wahhabis under the Sunni sect are the more aggressive, the more jihadist. So I have great, great hope for Iran because Iran could be pulled out of the Sharia Muslim orbit if we do things right, because they've got a civilization that's older than Islam itself.
Before I let you go, I know you got to bounce. You've got congressional duties today. People, given your background, given you're seeing you've been seeing secular movements, Islamic societies taken over by Sharia and turned into kind of radical societies. The pushback that we get is that, hey guys, this is really a religion and you can't attack a religion in the United States of America.
What is your response, Colonel Self?

Chapter 6: How are local politicians responding to the rise of Islamic influence?
My response, that is a great question. That is the key question, Steve, that you've asked. Sharia is a law, it's a culture, it's a civilization. It takes precedence over whatever law you have in your country. It takes precedent. It is the supreme law. It's not a religion. It's a law. It has a patina of religion.
So frankly, what I say, even to the moderate Muslims that say, we simply want to pray or whatever. And I say, look, you are free to exercise your religion. You are not free to impose your religion on other people. Because if someone is walking their dog down the sidewalk, you cannot tell them they can't because it offends you. So my response to them is, frankly, I'm an infidel under Sharia.
I'm an infidel. I am punishable by death if I do not submit to Sharia. They also have a tax that is no longer in vogue, but let's stick with the punishment by death. Frankly, these moderate Muslims are considered apostates. I'm an infidel. They're apostates. We are under the same rule under Sharia, which is punishable by death. So the moderate Muslims that...
give this argument to you, when the jihadis take control, they will be given the same choice that I have. Submit to Sharia or face death. What are they going to do? Most of them will not abandon Islam. They will submit to Sharia. That's the problem we have going forward.
The state of Texas has been the most advanced in this. I can tell you from my time in the U.S.

Chapter 7: What implications does the school choice movement have for Texas families?
government trying to ā the one big failure I had is try to get the Muslim Brotherhood designated a terrorist organization. The firestorm that kicked off in the intelligence services, State Department, but even the Pentagon at the time. To me, it was shocking, and it made me even more focused on getting CARE and the Muslim Brotherhood designated.
Governor Abbott, and for all the criticism of Governor Abbott, he did designate, even before President Trump did partially and before Governor DeSantis, he designated the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE terrorist organizations. He also said on Glenn Beck the other day, which we're going to play probably on Thursday's show to say, hey, the law they passed for Sharia doesn't have enough teeth in it.
He's going to get that. He's going to get more teeth in that. But there's a ballot initiative, Proposition 10 on 3 March, the primary to ban Sharia law in Texas. In your mind, sir, how important is that?
This is absolutely vital. As you call Texas, we are the jewel in the crown of the United States. As Texas goes, so goes the nation. We lead the conservative states. California leads the progressive states. We must pass this. But, Steve, not only must we pass it, I want to pass it with a huge margin, because this is simply a proposition. It doesn't hold any weight under the law.
So I want to pass it with a huge margin so that the people speak very plainly to our state government. We must ban Sharia. We must do it in a strong way. We must make sure that there is no possibility for Sharia to take hold because we're behind the power curve right now, Steve.
So I implore the citizens of Texas, the voters of Texas, go out and vote for this because it's important we pass it with a huge margin.
Colonel Self, where do people go for social media, your coordinates, because you're putting up great material all the time, and where do they go for your site, your congressional site?
Well, my website is KeithSelf.House.Gov, KeithSelf.House.Gov. You can sign up for my newsletter, weekly newsletter. On social media, it's whatever the format is, Rep Keith Self, Rep Keith Self, whatever the format for that individual platform is. I would appreciate people coming and looking. This is an important issue. We intend to stay on it, Steve.
Well, we thank you for your leadership. I know the people down in Texas in your district appreciate it too. Thank you, sir. Thank you, Colonel. Appreciate you coming on. Thank you, Steve. Congressman from the McKinney Commerce Area from the great state of Texas and a real leader. I want to go get Lynn Davenport now, an activist.

Chapter 8: What actions can citizens take to address these issues in Texas?
You've been actually an activist and been making the case, I guess, for years about the situation of school choice, of that it's not all of what it seems. Now, here recently, besides the issues of finance and underwriting or subsidizing certain people,
It's become obvious that the law of unintended consequences, something I don't think was fully explained to people, and people around the nation are seeing this in the school choice movement, that this has been used, that Muslims have gamed the system here to actually look at this to get taxpayer money to fund either Islamic centers or schools.
I know this problem is in Northern Virginia big time. that are based on Islam and Sharia law. Can you walk the audience through how this happened in Texas?
Yes, it's largely been driven by my own party where I've served as a delegate at the state convention. And as well, I served as a precinct chair trying to grow the Republican Party. I've also run for school board and community college. So I'm in this battle at the local level and at the state level. And I find when you're knocking on doors, people are not asking for school choice vouchers.
They have other issues that they're concerned about is crime and property taxes and the border. The border's a huge one. But the privatization agenda, which is to shift the control and the money into private hands, the education dollars, that's the crux of the school choice. pitch is they want to take that money that's going to our traditional public schools and put it into private hands.
Well, the privatization agenda has actually opened up the door for Islamization of Texas. So under the guise of choice and competition and And freedom, because that's the campaign slogan that they use for pushing vouchers, that we've actually undermined. We are less free. We have less choice. If the Islamic schools can take the voucher, which I guarantee you they will be able to.
They have not been approved yet. But there are 30 Islamic private schools in Texas. They will be applying for the voucher. And because of previous court rulings, There's a precedent set, not just with Plyler versus Doe, which is why we have to educate undocumented kids in Texas in our public schools. But also there was a ruling for it was Carson versus Macon.
So they cannot discriminate against religious schools and taking the voucher. So those this stuff will be tied up in litigation. And we will spend millions of dollars fighting these Islamic charter schools. They will be able to take the voucher money, the voucher subsidies, which have been pushed by the Republican Party.
You cannot get reelected without supporting not only the vouchers, but also the charter schools. And the Gulen Islamic charter schools, that privatization agenda, has been pushed by Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. I loved the question that you asked yesterday of Grassroots America's Joanne Fleming. You said, why is Dan Patrick a major driver of this agenda?
