Podcast Summary: Bannon’s War Room – Ep. 4955: “The Invasion Of Texas Cannot Be Reset”

Host: Steve Bannon
Date: November 26, 2025

Overview

This episode brings together a series of conservative voices—including Laura Loomer and Alex Jones—to critique the Trump administration’s recent executive order targeting the Muslim Brotherhood, discuss perceived Islamic infiltration and threats within the United States (especially in Texas), and call for increased political, legal, and social action to “defend” the country. Much of the discussion centers around skepticism of incremental executive actions, accusations of establishment weakness, and calls for a grassroots, militant Christian response to what the hosts view as an existential threat from radical Islam and political opponents.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Trump Administration’s Executive Order Against the Muslim Brotherhood

[00:50–09:36]

• Steve Bannon introduces Laura Loomer to critique the recent executive order, which was expected to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.

• Laura Loomer underscores dissatisfaction:

  • The order merely initiates a lengthy review process (30 days, then 45 days) rather than immediately designating the Brotherhood.
  • Key backers—Qatar and Turkey—are excluded from scrutiny; Loomer argues these nations are "financiers" of radical Islam.
  • Critiques Trump allies (like Sebastian Gorka) for celebrating the move prematurely.
  • Loomer points to the Holy Land Foundation terrorism trial as evidence of active U.S.-based Islamic 501(c)(3)s with “terror financing links.”
  • Argues the IRS enables U.S. fundraising for jihad via lax enforcement.
  • Blames U.S. officials for socializing with Qatari diplomats while supposedly cracking down on radical groups.

  “The Muslim Brotherhood is inches away from completely taking over America… this isn’t cuckoo conspiracy talk, Steve. You know it and I know it.”
  — Laura Loomer [09:01]

2. The Core Critique: Inaction and Weakness

[11:11–13:57]

• Alex Jones supports much of Loomer’s argument but defends the initial executive review as part of “how Trump always rolls out policy”: plans must be developed first.

• He warns about the “infestation” of Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers in Western nations, calling for strong, all-encompassing countermeasures and more public pressure on the administration.

  “They are the main force in Europe, the UK, Australia… the Somali community, just as a snapshot, has the highest rate of… fraud across the board.”
  — Alex Jones [12:20]

3. Focus: Texas as the “Crown Jewel” Targeted for Takeover

[17:42–25:58]

• Bannon and Jones describe Texas as America’s last redoubt; if Texas “falls,” so does the country.

• Jones provides personal anecdotes from Austin, claims of intimidation, and frames the increased presence of Muslims as part of a “military, political takeover” prescribed by the Quran.

• He alleges a campaign of crime, welfare dependency, and cultural aggression, linking it to collapse seen in cities in Europe and some U.S. states.

• Jones contends that Texans have become complacent, believing in Texas’ invincibility while being outpaced by what he frames as highly cohesive, “tribal” Muslim communities.

  “They have targeted Texas because they understand if they can take down Texas, they got us.”
  — Steve Bannon [17:22]

  “To them… if somebody isn’t a Muslim, they can go brainwash and kidnap your 8-year-old daughter and put her in a sex slavery because you’re a kaffir. It is literally a satanic aggressive cancer.”
  — Alex Jones [19:40]

4. Broader Geopolitical Concerns; Distraction from Real Threats

[26:37–27:50]

• Jones warns against spending too much time on foreign priorities (like Israel/Ukraine) at the expense of dealing with domestic threats—namely China, Islam, and “globalists.”
• He urges grassroots MAGA pressure on Trump, spotlighting weak officials and supporting effective ones.

5. Recommendations on Countermeasures & Grassroots Activism

[30:17–34:20]

• Jones and Bannon urge listeners to:

  • Share clips/explanations widely, especially within MAGA spheres.
  • Frame the Muslim Brotherhood as an existential, long-term adversary of the West.
  • Demand expansive, comprehensive designations—not piecemeal, technocratic reviews.
  • Condemn all public funding and legal status for “Islamic front groups” and allies.
  • Insist on the inclusion of Qatar and Turkey in any real enforcement plan.
  • Support militant Christianity and a return to “church militant” values.

  “Islam is taking over the West. It's been trying to for 1400 damn years… This is a global event. We need a global response. Just like… in the Crusades.”
  — Alex Jones [30:28]

  “If you don’t include Turkey and Qatar, we’ve kind of lost the plot. Qatar’s the money and Turkey’s the muscle.”
  — Steve Bannon [34:11]

6. Call to Christian and Male ‘Militancy’

[43:11–45:22]

• Jack Posobiec encourages action: male-only gatherings within MAGA families to discuss critical issues and the necessity of “mass deportations” and state-level political campaigns.

• He commends “Moms for Liberty” as grassroots leaders and suggests now “it’s time to let the men handle this.”

  “The women showed us the way first.… now it’s time for the men to take their turn.… You say, look, they’re invading our countries, they’re going after our cities, they’re going after our towns, they’re going after our women…. It’s our duty as men to step up and fix it.”
  — Jack Posobiec [43:27–45:20]

7. Christianity, Civilization, and the West: Historical Framing

[32:29–33:46], [46:06–47:22]

• Jones (referencing the Crusades/Templars) and guests frame Western civilization as existentially threatened, requiring a militant resurgence.

• Dave Brat and Pastor Bob Pearl echo the need for self-preservation and stewardship by Christians, linking American values with historic religious resistance.

  “We have to declare our sovereignty. We have to admit we’re under attack and take legal, lawful action.”
  — Alex Jones [24:50]

  “If you want to follow the Golden Rule… but then [Islamic societies]… have not reciprocated and given us any gifts. Their human rights don't extend to us. Ours extend to them.”
  — Dave Brat [47:10]
