What are the main issues raised by candidates in the Texas Attorney General debate?

Aaron Reitz 0:08

Islamic jihadis are plotting against you.

Unknown 0:11

Why in the hell you think they're in Houston and in north of Dallas? They are working together to overthrow Western civilization.

Joan Huffman 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. 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.

How do candidates address the threat of Sharia law in Texas?

Unknown 1:12

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.

Unknown 1:27

Okay, welcome to War Room Texas. It's Wednesday, 18 February in the year of the Lord, 2026. Last night was the only debate in this entire race, in the primary at least, for the Texas Attorney General. Remember, the Attorney General in Texas, you being part of the War Room posse, Ken Paxton, is absolutely essential to the fight to get President Trump back into the presidency, as you all remember. As Attorney General of Texas, he was our first guest on the afternoon show of 20 January 2021. President Trump Left the tarmac from Andrews Air Force Base on Air Force One. We had that very dramatic show in the morning that ended at noon. Right when Biden was going to take the oath of office, President Trump kind of went into exile for a while down in Mar-a-Lago.

What are the candidates' views on crime and law enforcement in Texas?

Unknown 2:21

And what we did in the afternoon, the very first guest we had was Ken Paxton of Texas, the attorney general. And while we had Paxton, we knew that the attorney generals, the state attorney generals are going to be so important. And Texas is the jewel of the crown, so Texas would be the most important. Now, tonight, we're gonna break down the debate that we live streamed last night. The central figures are Aaron Reitz, who is endorsed by Ken Paxson, former Justice Department guy, Marine Corps, former Marine officer. Chip Roy, who we've had on for years, part of the Tea Party, chief of staff at Ted Cruz. Chip is also part of the Freedom Caucus, been one of the fighters in the Congress. And, of course, Mays Middleton, more, I think, of kind of a Bush guy.

Unknown 3:05

He is Abbott's. He's endorsed by Abbott. Cruz has endorsed Chip Roy. Attorney General Paxton has endorsed our one and only Aaron Reitz. This is really the thrown haymaker. This is what I was really impressed and really proud of. I think the first question out of the box was on Islam.

How do the candidates plan to tackle the influence of the Chinese Communist Party in Texas?

Unknown 3:25

But the questions you're going to see tonight, they're going to make introductory remarks. You're going to see some very tough questions. Our friend Chris Kobach from the great state of Kansas will also join. They had a bunch of attorney generals there last night from some of the more MAGA red states. And so we're going to break this in pieces. I'll be back in closer to the break at the bottom to give you an assessment. But the gloves come off. I think you see the measure of each man. You got Mays Middleton, Chip Roy, and of course, Aaron Reitz. So let's go ahead and check it out. This is last night. We streamed it live. The one and the only attorney general's debate live from north of Dallas. I guess they call it the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Unknown 4:13

Let's take it.

What measures are proposed to protect Texas energy interests?

Unknown 4:14

I'll be back in a moment.

Stephen K. Bannon 4:15

Good evening. Eight years ago, I ran for Congress because I wanted to save America for our kids and grandkids, something I've been trying to do my entire life, and I've been at the center of the conservative fight for over two decades. In 2005, as a lawyer on the Senate Judiciary Committee, I fought to get Sam Alito on the Supreme Court. In 2006 and 2007, I was at the center of the fight to stop amnesty in the swamp.
