What threats are Islamic jihadis posing in Texas?

Stephen K. Bannon 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.
Lynn Davenport 0:18
Sharia compounds, which are areas governed by religious rules.
Stephen K. Bannon 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 impacting the upcoming Texas ballot?

Unknown 0:50
The United States Constitution and Sharia are fundamentally at odds with one another.
Stephen K. Bannon 0:56
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, 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.
Unknown 1:28
Thursday, 22 January, Year of Alert 2026. Thank you. And thank you for supporting the show and pushing it out. The streaming numbers are absolutely off the charts. Much bigger start than even I thought we'd do because people have a real appetite for this information. We'll start today. We're packed for this hour. I want to start with Aaron Wright. Aaron, first off, you're an Aggie, right? Talk to me about you were a Corps cadet at Texas A&M.
Aaron Reitz 1:57
Yeah, sure was. Wife and I from San Antonio went to Texas A&M on a Marine Corps ROTC scholarship.

What experiences shaped the guest's views on foreign intervention?

Aaron Reitz 2:03
Not to age myself, Steve, I know my hairstyle gives away a little bit, but 9-11 happened when I was a freshman in high school and went to A&M on a Marine Corps ROTC scholarship, commissioned as an officer, went to Afghanistan, deployed to the northern Helmand province of Afghanistan, then went to law school, but I'm still in the reserve as a major.
Unknown 2:25
So you've seen this firsthand, obviously had a big impression on you as a young boy. And then the go to A&M, which, you know, my daughter graduated from West Point. And I will tell you the respect they have for the Corps of Cadets and Texas A&M. You guys are kind of old school, kind of old school down there the way you run it. Oh, yeah.
Aaron Reitz 2:43
We're proud of the fact you actually way more hardcore than the academies, brother.
Unknown 2:48
No, I think I would say A&M and even the Citadel or probably the Academy would say, and particularly the kind of woke area the Academy went through. My daughter just joined the board of visitors there, one of President Trump's representatives. She will tell you first on that A&M is old school. So you deployed to Afghanistan. Talk to me about your experience there, particularly with the civilization and the culture, sir.
Aaron Reitz 3:15
Yeah, so I deployed with my battalion, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines, nicknamed the Magnificent Bastards. And we got there in the fall of 2011. We left in the spring of 2012. I was assigned to our battalion's embedded training team. And so I actually lived with the Afghan National Army on the afghan side of our marine ford operating base in the northern helmand province and look what i saw where there's some good guys that were there that were sadly born in a in in a in the stone age sure but at the end of the day what i saw in afghanistan what we see more broadly in the Islamic world is we see anti-civilizational forces at play that are informed by their religious and cultural views, okay? Anywhere Islam is on the march, anywhere you see a Muslim majority country,

How does the guest describe the cultural challenges in Afghanistan?

Aaron Reitz 4:10
You see chaos, you see crime, disorganization, oppression, chaos, disease, economic stagnation and decline. You see nothing but anti-civilizational forces. I saw this firsthand. Look, Steve, I went to Afghanistan. as a true believer back then, that all we needed to do was to go kill a few bad guys. And that at the end of the day, we would hand out pocket constitutions and pocket declarations of independence. And then all of a sudden, Afghanistan, Iraq, all of these other countries would just become Western overnight.
