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 impacting the upcoming Texas ballot?
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, 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.
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.
Yeah, sure was. Wife and I from San Antonio went to Texas A&M on a Marine Corps ROTC scholarship.

Chapter 3: What experiences shaped the guest's views on foreign intervention?
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.
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.
We're proud of the fact you actually way more hardcore than the academies, brother.
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.
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,

Chapter 4: How does the guest describe the cultural challenges in Afghanistan?
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. But when I got there, all of the scales fell off my eyes. And I realized that the very soil composition
of the culture and civilization that we were operating in would not allow for civilization to even take root. The soil in the West is the kind of soil that gives rise to flourishing civilizations. It's Christendom that gives rise to advanced and prosperous and flourishing civilization. It is the dark flag of the crescent moon that when it rises over a region or a country, darkness falls.
And I saw it firsthand living with the Afghan National Army. This wasn't just for me an academic experience. I lived it. And wherever that crescent moon rises, you see darkness fall. And what's happening in the United States and in particular in Texas is you see that crescent moon trying to replace old glory.
Chapter 5: What is the significance of Texas in the fight against anti-Western forces?
And as the next attorney general of Texas, it is absolutely not going to happen. We're going to roll back the invasion. We're going to engage in a counter-jihad. And we are going to till the American soil to make sure that Western civilization, that Christendom can really flourish here in Texas.
Major, I think this is so important. I want to go back to that time because as I tell people all the time, the Aaron Reitzes, the Mo Bannons, these are all volunteers. And the greatest generation would tell you the bulk of folks in World War II were draftees, right? There's tons of volunteers at the beginning and there were volunteers during the thing, but that was a draftee army.
Just like in Vietnam, that was a draftee army. You were drafted. You really didn't have a choice. Here, everybody that signed up thought they knew what they were getting into. And these were true believers. Mo's class at West Point, she got out in 10 and went deployed in 11, or deployed in 10, I think also. You, talk to me about that.
This just wasn't Aaron Rice or just... Overall, it was a pretty shocking experience culturally for the folks that signed up to fight for the country when they really got over there and saw the difference of what the media was saying and the difference on the ground of what was actually happening.
Yeah, totally. Look, we use this word true believer. Like, I was a true believer in this doctrine of foreign intervention, take care, you know, cut the head off of the beast, and all of a sudden the entire world can be westernized, Americanized, and that they're just yearning for a constitutional republic. Here's the thing about American history.
American history didn't just spring up out of nowhere. Our culture, our Western civilization, American culture, our constitution, our declaration, our constitutional Republican small r values didn't just come out of nothing.
All those things, everything that we enjoy today was informed by centuries and centuries of well-developed language, history, culture, art, religion, values, ethics, family structure, gender, all these sorts of things. fed into what we now enjoy as the greatest country that world history, that humankind has ever seen.
And I use this soil analogy very intentionally because there are certain plants, there are certain trees that can take root in certain soils, and those same trees or plants can't take root in other soils. And so the Western and American soil the culture, the civilization, the language, the history, the art, the music, the religious views.
All of these things are what set the conditions for a beautiful flourishing flower, a beautiful American tree to take root and grow and create an environment for human flourishing to exist. The soil composition in other parts of the world

Chapter 6: How does the guest plan to combat the Islamic invasion in Texas?
cannot give rise to those same kinds of fruits. And so what we see in the Islamic world is we see a soil in which advanced civilization, free thinking, human expression, ethics, integrity, economic development, artistic development, all the sort of markers of civilization, they simply can't take root. Why? Because the soil composition's not there, no matter how hard you try.
Now, what we see with the influx, the invasion of third-worlders that kicked up really in the mid-60s with the Hart-Celler Immigration Act, and then especially from the Muslim world after 9-11, is we see that rootless soil, that salted soil getting transported from the Muslim world to the Western and American world.
And we think that it's going to provide the conditions for human flourishing, but really it doesn't. So I went there as a true believer, thinking that we'd be able to get the thing done.
But I looked at this civilization in the eye, and I concluded with absolute certainty that these are anti-civilizational forces that cannot be redeemed by military action or unassimilated invasions into the Western world. And look, one of my things that's motivating me to run for attorney general is to preserve
that soil composition, preserve our American culture, preserve Western civilization to fight against the anti-Western, anti-Christian, anti-American forces that are invading our country. And in particular, as you often say, Steve, view Texas as the crown jewel that they want to capture. And when I'm attorney general, it is not going to happen.
Well, let's bring that up to the president. I mean, as I said, in getting in back of this and thinking it through and getting people to come to the conference and Gert Wilders and War Room Texas, this is just not something that happened. And this is not really something in the like the second law of thermodynamics. This is actually well thought through. They're focused on Texas for a reason.
Texas is the crown jewel. It embodies everything. You talk about the soil, the tree of liberty, of individualism, of using your agency, of having the working class and middle class actually have a shot. It's what Texas, that brand is throughout the world. This invasion of Texas is very well thought through.
And so the question is, given your unique background in this, for someone that happens to be running now, what is your plan to support Governor Abbott? You know, he's declared the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE a terrorist organization. He's actually said he's got to put more meat on that bone. There's all this thing about investigations.
You know, on March 3rd, we're going to have an overwhelming support for Proposition 10 to ban Sharia law. in the state of Texas. What is Major Aaron Wright's United States Marine Corps reserves plan for this?

Chapter 7: What strategies are being implemented to ban Sharia law in Texas?
Ask yourself this. How many mob bosses did we put behind bars for committing murder? The answer is not many. Why? Because they were extremely sophisticated and were smart enough to hide their money and wipe their fingerprints off the weapon. What did the feds do?
They choked them out with investigations and lawsuits and prosecutions over all the various process crimes and financial crimes, tax fraud, money laundering, racketeering, human trafficking, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, all these kinds of process financial crimes, creating a bramble bush of smoke that prevented the mafia from even being able to breathe, such that they suffocated to death.
And now we live in a world where the mafia is all but irrelevant, and the most we hear about it are on the big screen. I'm going to do the same thing with the Islamic invasion in Texas. These are very sophisticated actors. You're not going to catch them with the murder weapon necessarily. You're not going to catch them saying, I hereby declare an imposition of Sharia law.
Instead, what you're going to do is you're going to find that they have committed, that they've laundered their money through a vast network of 501c3s, 501c4s, corporate entities, shell entities, political candidates, public grants, all of these sorts of things they have embedded in.
And the attorney general has unique power to investigate all these entities, to litigate against all of them, to make referrals to the federal government,
As somebody who just came from the senior ranks of the Justice Department, as the presidentially appointed Senate-confirmed head of the Office of Legal Policy, I stand uniquely positioned to work with Attorney General Bondi, Secretary Noem, Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, the border czar, the White House, the president, all of these entities to align our resources to stop the invasion, shut down the crime, break the Islamic syndicate in Texas, and get rid of them, just like the feds treated the mafia.
I'm uniquely suited to do that because I am the only one in this race that has actually wielded those weapons to advance liberty, to advance the Constitution, and to stop bad guys like this. So not only am I going to promise that we're going to get it done, Steve, but I'm the only one in this race who has a record actually getting it done in the justice system.
Let's go, I want to play, you've got a 30 second spot.

Chapter 8: How can Texans get involved in supporting conservative values?
Let's go ahead and play it before you bounce.
Islam is not compatible with Western civilization. I'm Aaron Reitz, and that's just one lesson I learned as a Marine in Afghanistan. But politicians have imported millions of Muslims into our country. The result? More terrorism, more crime, and they even want their own illegal cities in Texas to impose Sharia law. Not on my watch. I'm Aaron Reitz.
As Attorney General, I will stop the invasion and defend our Christian values.
For Attorney General Aaron Reitz.
Major, do you think people are awakening to what this issue is?
Oh, absolutely, Steve. And it's because of guys like you. But I'll tell you, I'm on the road six, seven days a week, hitting multiple counties per day. The number one issue in the grassroots right now is the Islamic invasion. They are finally realizing their plans have been revealed. Their blueprints have been exposed. Their intents have been made manifest.
And now conservatives are aware of what they have been secretly operating under the radar for way too long. They have now been exposed, and it's because of guys like you, Steve. And there's a huge reason why this has been a number one campaign issue from the day that I announced for AG, and it is resonating with the grassroots because they understand this is not just a political threat.
This isn't just a dispute over marginal tax rates or certain other regulatory disagreements, although those are important things. This dispute is civilizational, existential, and spiritual in nature. And they want somebody who is going to go to war. And I'm going to, I have led legal troops into legal combat to deliver legal victories. They know this is a problem. It's resonating.
It's not just an AstroTurf fake issue. People care about it. And I'm going to deliver on the promises to stop it.
