Steve Bannon
War Room Texas. Your host, Stephen K. Bannon starts right now. It's Thursday, 29th, January, in the year of our Lord 2026. We're honored to be joined by one of the great patriots in the United States and also obviously in Texas, the Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, who's now running in the Republican primary, the same one that we have this proposition 10 about prohibiting Sharia law in the state of Texas. He's running the Republican primary for the United States Senate. First off, Attorney General Paxton, can you just give us an overview and an update to all the Warren posse and particularly new. All our new followers in Texas. With Warren, Texas, how's the race going?
Ken Paxton
You know, it's going really well. Our polling has us still ahead. John Cornyn, who's the incumbent, who's been in office for 24 years, is running for his fifth term. He's been in office since I was in College and I'm 63. So he, I think, has spent close to 50 million doll million dollars, which is hard to believe when you're only allowed to raise 3, 500 per person. Somehow he spent $50 million and I've spent I think 2600 on media at this point. We're up still 38. 28 was the last poll I saw. And so there's still undecided to be had. And our early voting starts literally in two and a half weeks. So I need everybody out to vote and spreading the word because we have a chance. We're the only one that has a chance. There's eight people in the race. We are the only ones that have a chance to actually win this without a runoff.
Steve Bannon
Attorney General, hit rewind on that and just give folks a second because I know a lot of people have been very disappointed that it seems like a lot of these races are just go to the person that could raise the most money. And Cornyn's been around so long, you know, he's got a lot of corporate sponsors, et cetera. He's put $50 million into this race so far. I assume they're all on really positive ads about Ken Paxton, correct?
Ken Paxton
Yeah, you've got that right. No, no, no. Positive ads on Kenfax and lots of fake ads about him, for sure, where he talks about how he's pro Trump and how he's been with Trump and how he was for the border wall and, and it's, it's absolutely ridiculous. It's all untrue. And yeah, 50 million. And it's kind of a rigged system. McCain, Feingold set up limits on challengers, but the incumbents have ways to get around it. They have special committees that can take lots more money than 3,500 dollars. If you could only take 3,500, there's no way that he could have spent 50 million. So those rules for the incumbents are much more open, they're much more generous, and they give incumbents a huge advantage. Despite that, despite John Cornyn misleading the public about me and about himself and pushing himself away from his connection to Joe Biden and restricting the Second Amendment and help helping the settlement of Afghan refugees in the United States and also helping Joe Biden do that. He is, you know, on the air making all the connections of Trump, which is absolutely false.
Steve Bannon
Well, no, the Warren posse knows that Cornyn is a, is a. From the Mitch McConnell School of the Republican establishment. Such a problem. The question I've got for you about his record is that, you know that it looks like we could have a government shutdown because the Senate Democrats are going to pull out the DHS bill. But Cornyn and that crowd, you know, much of the other funding that's gone on as much as conservatives to try to fight this, you still have the refugee resettlement in there. You got much of the woken weaponized that we try to get out and Russ Vogt tried to get out. And as bad as the House is, it's worse in the Senate. Why do these guys continue to run on. They're all fiscal conservatives. They're all going to take everything out. They're all tough on the Border. They're all tough on. John Cornyn's got the audacity now to have a, have an ad out about this ashria law situation in Texas. He's been one of the worst. I mean, how, how dumb do they think people are?
Ken Paxton
Sir, look, he's gotten away with. He's been in office since, you know, 40 years ago he started his first office. He's been in the Senate. He's running for a fifth term. No one's ever done that. He has been connected to Karl Rove, the Bushes, they, they enabled him when he got our Robin Hood system through, when they did it by judicial fiat and socialized our schools. And so it's just about misleading. People have not realized that he has not accomplished anything. I mean, literally, if you look at his record, I've been asking people since I got in the race, since April 8, how many good things can you name that John Cornyn has done? And no one's ever given me an answer. All you can look to is massive spending, you know, budget deficits that started at 6.2 trillion with him and now it's at 38 trillion. So is he helping to cut the deficit? No, he's part of the problem. Is he helping our conservative causes in Texas? No, he's joining the Biden administration and he was joining Mitch McConnell, the woke establishment in Washington to not do things that were good for Texans.
Steve Bannon
I want to go back to that time. You were our very first guest on the afternoon president left after. And by the way, we just had the FBI raid yesterday. So we've been covering this nonstop. The president left from Andrews Air Force Base around noon. We covered the, the phony inauguration of Biden. And then you were our very first guest on the 5:00 clock show on the earlier show, what, five years ago. And we asked you on this on the 21st and we said, hey, tell us about how you're going to handle this. You said, look where Biden's inside the Constitution and it helps the citizens of Texas. We will work with, as I'm obligated to do by my oath. But where he's outside the Constitution or it's hurting the citizens of Texas, then we're going to be in court with him all the time. Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe you're not simply the attorney general that took him to court the most in his administration, but you were the first in on just about every tough fight. Am I correct in that?
Ken Paxton
Yeah, we sued him on day three over deportations when he came out on day one saying he wouldn't deport illegal. So that changed rapidly. We sued him many times until his last day in office when he turned over power to Trump. We sued him again for banning offshore oil. And that was our 107th lawsuit against Joe Biden. So, yes, I was serious. If he had followed the Constitution, we could have participated and helped him. Instead, we had to sue him 107 times, and we won about 80% of those lawsuits.
Steve Bannon
One of the problems that the MAGA base and the in the MAGA movement have with the United States Senate and one of the reasons that you're a beloved figure and everybody wanted you to stay as ag, but we understand that the Senate may be a better place for you right now is in those first six months, really year, how bad the Senate was and really working with Biden. As I say, this is kind of like controlled opposition. All of this could have basically been stopped if the Senate had stood up and really been much, much tougher. But they were not. They really accommodated a lot. And you saw in all that massive spending, which is where we got inflation from the destruction of the US Dollar, There were many of these senators that went along with it. Why did that happen when these people all really came in on the coattails of Trump? Why did it happen? And what can you do as an individual senator going out there representing Texas to turn the thing around? Because as bad as the House is, sometimes people have kind of given up on the Senate because it's so awful. And it's not really doesn't have any MAGA flavor to it whatsoever.
Ken Paxton
Look, Mitch McConnell led them and he directed them in that, in that way. And many of the senators follow leadership because they want to be in certain committees, they want to be chair of a committee. And so. And they want help in fundraising. And if you don't participate in what leadership wants you to do, you know, Mitch McConnell would cut you out. So, you know, look, John Cornyn was one of Mitch McConnell's lieutenants, and he was told, even to the detriment, not just of Texas, but the entire country. And there's no doubt that the Biden spending created all this inflation. It has put us in a financial situation that is not as good as it should be and may create huge problems for us in the future and probably will create huge problems if we do not have the courage to start dealing with it. And John Cornyn is not that guy. He didn't have the courage to do anything that we need done. That is hard, and that's Just not. John Cornyn.
Steve Bannon
Attorney General, you've been all over the situation with Sharia law in this, in this issue with some of these Islamic schools and all that. Can you walk through what you've done recently? Because just the news, John Solomon, the team, other of these conservative news sites have been all over this. Can you get the audience up to speed on what you've been working on?
Ken Paxton
Yeah, so we recently filed a lawsuit against epic. We, you know, look, we, we will never want to violate the First Amendment. Everybody can worship however they want to. But Sharia law is in direct opposition, often to our constitution, to state law, to federal law. You cannot have an alternative legal system operating in the United States or in Texas. And so if you do not follow laws, we have the right to do something about it. So we have sued EPIC about their development in Collin County, Texas, which is where I live, and tried to stop them from continuing this development because they violated state and federal securities laws. That was the first thing we did. The second thing, more recent, we have sent a pick request to two schools in Texas, one in North Texas and another one Colleyville and another one in more the Houston area, Cypress Fair. And we have asked them for information because they were sponsoring games with this Islamic Games of North America. And we're trying to find all the contracts, all the communications between these school districts and these, this Islamic Games games in North America, which is tied into some of these terrorist organizations. Particularly CARE is one the sponsors. So we want to know if these schools are using taxpayer funds illegally. We certainly had declarations from Governor Abbott that they, they can't do that. And so we are in the process of finding out what's going on.
Steve Bannon
Let's talk about a second Muslim Brotherhood and care. Really, the leadership of Governor Abernon here has been pretty impressive. He's designated the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE as terrorist organizations. He also said there's going to be investigations, other legal work. Can you get us up to speed on what's actually going on?
Ken Paxton
Yeah, so that was, that was a recent declaration, and that's part of what we've done with these, with these school districts. When he designated them as a terrorist organization, it opened the door for us to be able to start asking questions about these organizations because, you know, we don't. Most, most Texans and most Americans don't know which organizations are affiliated with terrorist terrorism. And clearly the governor has made it easier for us in my office to, to do these investigations. And as people make us more aware of things, we can continue doing those investigations and Broaden those investigations. And if we discover things in these investigations that allow us to sue them or to stop them from doing certain things, we're absolutely going to do that.
Steve Bannon
Cornyn is now cut spots, spending some of that $50 million, actually talking about how tough he is on Sharia and how tough he is on like refugee resettlements, all this, you know, the Somalia problem in, in, in Minnesota. What, what say you? Do you think he just grabbed on. The Texas Tribune says this is now the number one topic in this primary. Is this just Cornyn, who's been there forever and I think was very involved in this Afghan situation for Biden. Is this him just trying to get out in front of an issue that he knows is actually pretty negative to him?
Ken Paxton
Yes. Well, look, he's, he's behind in the polls. He's polled it. He, he doesn't believe any of this. He's, he, he's an open borders guy. He fought the border wall. He's voted and promot. He's done nothing to stop or speak out against open borders until this Republican primary. Until I started running against him, we never heard a word from him about being strong on border security and stopping illegals. He constantly talked about how we. The border wall was a joke that it was, it was a fantasy. It was a bad idea. You can get, you can go look at the clips. And then he proposed and pushed for amnesty. So this is not a guy that was trying to shut the border down. This was not a guy that was trying to stop illegals from coming in, whether they were terrorists or not. He, he never did. He never lifted a finger until his commercials. His commercials are much stronger than anything he's ever proposed and they are in direct opposition to anything that he's ever done. So it's nice for him to talk about, but it would be nice to have, it would be nice to have some action behind it. We've never seen.
Steve Bannon
It was actually counteraction. Correct me if wrong here. So I don't want. But I thought he was one of the Lindsey Graham guys. They made a huge deal as war room and others said on this Afghan situation, say, hey, look, if they work with the American military, we understand that. But there are lots of Muslim countries that, you know in the Gulf Emirates, in Saudi Arabia, in Jordan, in Kuwait. You know, my daughter was with the 101st Airborne. They had a huge base before the invasion in Kuwait. There's lots of tents there put up by the United States military. Why do you have to bring these people to the United States. And you've seen the problems that's caused. Cornyn was one of the biggest sponsors of that with Lindsey Graham in that crowd, wasn't he?
Ken Paxton
Yeah. And that's typically his. His M.O. he's the guy that is in the middle that helps the Biden administration, you know, along with a couple of Republican senators who cited to help make this all happen with the Afghan refuge. We don't know. We didn't vet these people. We had thousands upon thousands come into Texas and others come into, you know, the rest of the country. We know nothing about them. John Cornyn talked about how we need to take care of these people, but the answer is, the question is why do we need to take care of them? You're right. If they were helping the American military or they were helping keep us safe, yes, that's different situation. But just to randomly bring in, you know, thousands of people that we have not vetted is not a very good idea. And it's not been safe for Americans to have these people in our country.
Steve Bannon
50 million versus 2600. General Pax, Attorney General Paxton, where do people go to find out more about your campaign and what's your social media?
Ken Paxton
Yeah, kenpaxon.com please donate. You know, the limits are small, so we need everybody helping. And @kantax&TX is our Facebook and Twitter handle.
Steve Bannon
I don't think I overstate this, that for the MAGA movement and for America first and the MAGA movement and the supporters of President Trump, this is the most important primary in the nation for the United States Senate. I don't think there's any question about that. So, Attorney General Paxton, we talked to you five years ago when Biden first came in. You lived up to what you said you were going to do. And we know you live up to what you're telling us. You promise us to, to do to help President Trump in the Senate. So thank you very much.
Ken Paxton
Well, thank you. And we're going to win this. That's a few short weeks away, but we're going to win this.
Steve Bannon
Thank you, brother. Appreciate you.
Ken Paxton
Thank you.
Steve Bannon
Doc Chambers joins me. Doc is running in the primary for governor. So, Doc, we've had you on starting a couple of months ago. I just got to ask you a question. As I look and chart this race, am I correct in that your involvement in this race and as aggressive as you're running it, that you've actually made the sitting governor a lot more come across at least a lot more conservative? Have you noticed he's kind of changed his positions and Seems to move urgency. Talk to me about that. Have you noticed that?
Doc Pete Chambers
Yeah, you know, and it's, it's all hands on deck. This is winter right now. We got showed up in Texas. You've had Brian Harrison on, you have ag packs on him. Great, great men that are out there pushing it every time. And so me as the lead pack of the pack of the, of the you challengers, we, we are pushing it too. We have a pretty robust information operation campaign going on. All former military guys that are all tier one guys, you know, intel guys who understand how to get this information out. And we've been doing this, I mean, since I got out in 2022 out of Texas National Guard. We work for think tanks that were following the, the source codes in Venezuela with regard to smart medics. So we've been following this from the shadows and trying to work this. And I'm the guy that drew the short straw and running for this operation, if you will, this, this campaign. But we are forcing function and that's. If that's what we are, that's what we are. But look, we're, we're going all the way. 19, what is it, 33 more days?
Steve Bannon
Let me ask you, I want you to give your background. You're very familiar. You've got three, I believe, three combat tours in, in, in, in Muslim countries over in the Middle East. Just, just what do you derive from those combat tours? What did you derive about the culture and civilization that you were put into, sir?
Doc Pete Chambers
Right. So in this situation, there is no way. When we went into Afghanistan in the early phases of that, after 9, 11, I wasn't part of those teams. I went to Iraq first. But when we went there, we, in our minds, we knew we were going to do unconventional warfare to link up with partisan fighters from the north and Northern alliance and to go down and squash. I left out of where your daughter was at the 101st there on the Kuwait border, standing on a 50 cal all the way to Baghdad. I understand linear battlefield and I understand unconventional very well. Now we're watching this and I'm going, this is a color revolution that's hybridized as taking place using religion, using all kinds of, all kind of vectors of attack. What I saw in Afghanistan and I did work in Pakistan is what we call there, the schools there that are the, the Muslim schools, if you will, of Pakistan were called madrasas. Okay, so this is key to understand. So the madrasas were the, were the training ground, if you will, for the next generation of fighters. We didn't Leave Afghanistan right away. We ended up fighting there for 20 years and we left everything there and left. Now that's. That's Department of State problem. And Pentagon, they shouldn't have done it that way, but that's what it is. And so for me, having been a guy that has lived and yeah, three combat deployments, but another one in Pakistan, another one in Jordan, you know, getting ready to go into ISIS to fight ISIS in Syria, when. When we see and smell color revolutions and we know what's going on, this is unconventional warfare right now. We're not doing foreign internal defense. We're doing domestic internal defense. And it's all hands on deck.
Steve Bannon
Let me ask you about that. You've got a color revolution going. This country. As you say, you got the Red Green Alliance. As you look around the state of Texas, particularly given the combat tours, and also Jordan and Pakistan, non combat. But we got up in personal with things like the Madrasa, which are the training ground. As you look at your beloved state of Texas. Give us your assessment of where we stand in that as part of this, the jihadist part of the color revolution, specifically.
Doc Pete Chambers
Roger that. Great question. So in 2015, I left Fort Bragg, 3rd Special Forces Group came down to the border. Texas National Guard, worked on Operation Lone Star from the very inception until 2022. And what I saw were 120 different countries coming across to include people that were docked under Venezuelan documentation, under flying a flag of Hezbollah, Hamas, CCP, you name it. Now there are 100 different, 20 different countries. This wasn't like Days of Pancho Beer where it was, you know, some Mexican coming across chasing cattle. We're talking about people have bad intent. And when we, when Trump came in, thank God for Trump put a tourniquet on that border and it made our job a lot easier. Now we're not looking for a needle and a stack of needles, but we. What happened during that time and that wait, that period that, that nothing really happened on the border at all between the feds and the state. It took a long time for state to come on board and I stuff down there. And when they did, they didn't give the authorities. And that's the thing that we need to understand here. The authorities are what makes it. That's the. As. As Paxton, Mr. Paxton was just talking about. That is the stuff that gets the teeth involved.
Ken Paxton
Right.
Doc Pete Chambers
Otherwise there's no authorizations. We can't, as soldiers do anything until we're authorized. So you can look at a foreign terrorist organization or a transnational criminal organization, you can Give them that moniker. You can. You can write a strongly worded letter and that's good. That's a start. But the authorities come through the commander in chief of the state of Texas, and that's the governor, and that has to come directly from that office. The attorney general, God bless him, he can't write those orders, and it has to come from that commander in chief. So guys like me that watched it happen, those lily pads. That's what we call them, those lily pads. Epic City now gonna be called the Meadows. It sounds a little bit like Laura Ingalls on a Little House on the Prairie, right? They're changing the names. They're. They're. They're conducting the same stuff they did on the border, which is a whack, a mole, right? So we chase them and they move and they change and they morph. But in the meantime, we've got 72% more mosques. We got two that I know about, Sharia, law courts. And as the good attorney general said, you cannot have a constitution underneath. This one right here, this is the Texas Constitution, my 1930s copy of it. Right. So there it is. We can't do that. And it's not authorized. The power is inherent in the people. Article one, section two of the Bill of Rights. It's the people, the winter soldiers, that are pushing this subject. And that is why Abbott is on his heels right now.
Steve Bannon
Let me ask you about that. Are you saying. Because I know we covered this, Ben Berquham, you know, real America's voice worm, did a better job than anybody. What I couldn't figure is why the state of Texas was not doing anything. And then when state of Texas came in with, like, Lone Star and other things, it would look very performative. Why are you saying that Abbott had the authority but didn't really give the authority, didn't promulgate it down, that it actually stops? What he was doing was performative.
Doc Pete Chambers
Yes, sir. It is probably the number one reason that I'm in this race right now, because I worked there from day one and watched it. We did lpops. And the army called that listening post, observation post. We watched people, we counted heads. We didn't stop anything. Now we. We stopped a couple bad actors from coming on the human trafficking side, but as far as actually stopping anything, we didn't stop anything. We put up a fence in Eagle Pass, and then we argued with the feds about it for a while. While cameras were watching yet a click down the road up and downstream a quarter, you know, a kilometer, people were coming Those camera, those ops that you saw were photo ops. And we used to, you know, as we, you know, you're a military guy. The dog and pony shows coming, all right, get ready. We got to take pictures with the, with the governor or the congressional delegation that came down. The reality is we did not have authorities. Matter of fact, the rules of engagement for us. If the cartel shoots at you, get in your upper armored Humvees and drive away. Now, I'm sorry, but William Barrett Travis would be rolling over his grave if he knew that Texans were running away from illegals. Not illegals, criminals across the border shooting at us. We didn't have the authorities. If you don't give authorities, the men are going to do what they got to do to survive. But we should be on the offensive and we could have done it. We have the largest contingent of special operator forces in the state. Texas military department is the 30th largest army in the world. That's an important piece to understand. We have the ability to do it and we didn't do it to its fullest. We did not do what would have staved off where we're at right now. I promise you that.
Steve Bannon
Doc, I'm gonna actually hold you through the break. And of course, the great Kevin is here. Also joining us from Economic Warfare, Kevin Freeman. We're getting to that. But this question before the break, since you've seen it, you've seen, look, you know what the problem with the madrasas in Pakistan was? You've been to Afghanistan. They're the same situation. You actually one of the troops down on the border, but you were handcuffed as governor. You said you were in the race because of this as governor. Give me, I got about two minutes. Give me two minutes on what you're going to do as governor with authorities, right?
Doc Pete Chambers
So the baseline of all this stuff is security, security of physical security of the state. We've got to plus up the ability to respond, which means the State Guard's got to go back to the day that 1947, 1950, after World War II, when you had all these experience veterans that were looking for a purpose and they gave them a purpose. And we need to do the same thing. We got 20 years of war. You can't throw a dead cat in Central Texas without hitting a Green Beret or a seal. We've got a lot of guys that would love to come out and work for the state in the State Guard, right? Not under Title 10 or Title 32. The state belongs to the state. That's a state militia, by the way, and under the Texas military department, we could, we could truly shut this border down. And there are so many more things we could do. I watched Eric Prince the other day. Combined with Homan, we could get rid of all the bad actors.
Steve Bannon
Doc Hanger for a second. We're holding through a short commercial break. You're watching War Room Texas. Want to thank our sponsor, Patriot Mobile 972 Patriot as the company says, you will get somebody on the phone that has a East Texas accents United States citizen tell you about the best mobile phone company in the world, a Christian company to support your values. Sponsor of War Room Texas, Glenn Story and the team. We're going to take a short commercial break. Doc Chambers is with us. Kevin Freeman from Economic Warfare next in War Room 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 prepared to fight for your country?
Steve Bannon
Okay, breaking news. It looks like the Democrats Senate Democrats have come to an agreement with the White House for a temporary package to keep the government opened while they two weeks while they negotiate separately the DHS package and it'll be enough Money to run basic functions in DHS, but not overall DHS. Finally, remember, which is the additional $170 billion lets us deport do the mass deportations. But this is not going to sit well with this audience. Understanding this is the opening demands of the Senate Democrats. Now, these have not been agreed to, but just listen to the demands.

Barring federal agents from wearing mask, requiring all of them wear body cameras that.
Steve Bannon
Are on all the time, along with ban on all roving patrols. And you have to show up with a warrant, buy a judge, sign a warrant in order to take somebody out. These are all unacceptable. These insurrectionists and the smart money background. Peter Schweitzer's book today number one on the New York Times bestseller list, that talks to you about Mexican government officials and the Chinese Communist party, along with all these other globalists funding this thing and helping organize it. Folks, understand what's going on. This is an invasion to tear our country apart. Doc Chambers, you're running in a very heated primary to replace basically the sitting governor of Texas, that's Republican. You have a lot of experience in Pakistan, other places, Afghanistan. Understand what a madrasa is. These training grounds that they trade these young jihadists. Are you concerned that some of this issues about the schools in these Muslim schools, in Islamic schools, there's teaching Sharia could be the moral equivalent of madrasas, sir.
Doc Pete Chambers
Right, so here. Here's. Here's the thing with that. If these. If, you know, we have to do the homework, obviously Attorney General Paxton is doing, we find those networks and they're tied to our criminal organization, then I have to. I must, by the techniques, tactics and practices that took place using these schools, using these. This, you know, religious kind of covering on it, to say, hey, wait a minute. We've got to investigate this. And when we find it, and if we do, they have to be shut down. Right. Texas taxpayers have been giving tens of tens of millions of dollars in. In taxes through vouchers to these private schools. These. These schools that are madrasas. Essentially, it's the same thing. It's just a Pakistani name. Look, the top donor to Abbott, one of the top donors, $6.7 million is a Pakistani oil guy, right? So we see that even on the website for. For the Republican, you know, election commission. They got the words there in poshtu and dari and Farsi. Right? So we've got to look at why are we. Why are we, you know, advertising there? But I'm gonna bring it back and just say that when you. When these. What these. These madrasas did they. They don't just go after the Afghans. We're talking about Arabs, North Africans, we're talking about Saudis go funding. We're talking about anything that will will to disenfranchise and then to train these kids, these, these you know, boys mostly to jump into the next jihad. They're just looking for a religious legit legitimacy to join the fight. It's a supply line for jihad. That, that is the way I have to look at it because I always prepare for the worst and look investigate. They're doing fine. Well then then that's, that's not a, not a problem set but I must consider it especially in the operations that we're in and what I saw and what I know that's in this state that came across that border.
Steve Bannon
Doc, where do people go on your site to find out more about you, your policies and your campaign? Are there any events coming up, any speeches, anything that people can come and hear you and maybe, maybe shake your hand?
Doc Pete Chambers
Yeah, well they could have come. Yeah they could have come to Canton and Medicine Van Zant County. We had a debate scheduled. The governor was invited to be there. There however, you know, their team called and said he wouldn't be able to make it but he was invited. But we do have more coming. We're going to be in Dallas Fort Worth area and then tomorrow we'll be with a. The rare organization that does talk about the CARE and the Muslim Brotherhood stuff. So we'll be speaking with them tomorrow in Dallas Fort Worth. But you can get on our calendar@docpetechambers.org and there's a calendar there and it'll have the address and, and I'd love to see you there. About to be 6 o', clock, 5:30 Central Time and we'll, we'll be putting a lot of this stuff out. I need you to, to help out. Keep. Go ahead.
Steve Bannon
Do you have, do you have social media people can follow you on social media?
Doc Pete Chambers
Yes, sir. Yeah. Yes sir. Doc Pete Chambers is the X is primarily and also on on Facebook Doc P. Chambers and we do lives. We do we did bring fireside chats. I came in the army under Ronald Reagan. I believe in that era they, they talked to their constituents a little bit more honestly.
Steve Bannon
Is that is the rare event tomorrow. Is that with Amy Mack? She's done, she's a rock star. I mean what she's done and putting information out is extraordinary.
Doc Pete Chambers
It is amazing. Now it's going to be her. Yes sir. Yeah, absolutely. They will be there and I'LL be speaking on the. On the bat and cleanup on that one to bring in a different aspect to it. Yes, sir.
Steve Bannon
Thank you so much for joining us. Take your time. Superstar. Superstar, I know you're incredibly busy. It's a heated race in this primary, so good luck, Godspeed, and look forward to having you back here in the war room. One of the smartest guys I know. The guy's been doing economic warfare. Incredibly smart about everything about economics and finance. Kevin Freeman. Kevin, I really want to thank you, Frank Gaffney and the team, and helping pull this whole thing together a couple weeks ago. People have been doing work beforehand. I know a lot of volunteers have been out there and getting people teed up. We had that conference that came together. Glenn Beck was amazing. We brought Gertfelders over from the Netherlands, and I think he gave a warning that sent a chill down to people. He's been doing this for 20 years, and he said, hey, my country is virtually gone. He's one of the top. I mean, he actually should be running the Dutch government, but they keep blocking him out. But I really want to thank you and the entire economic war room team. You've been great about letting us use your studios down there. So just at the beginning, thank you for everything that you guys been doing.
Kevin Freeman
Oh, we'll come back anytime. We loved having you in studio. That was fun.
Ken Paxton
Yeah.
Steve Bannon
We're shifting to show. We're going to work it out with you guys. We're shifting the show down, starting over the weekend. We're going to be in Texas all the way through the. All the way through the primary. Give me your assessment. I mean, we're coming down there. I've, as I tell people, we launched war room impeachment and war room pandemic and the war room for the 2020 election. And then the big steel and President Trump's years in the wilderness, 2024, all of it. We've never had a launch that has been, quite frankly, on fire as a war room. Texas, I think we've given a permission structure together collectively. Everybody's worked on this and worked on the conference with all those 150 grassroots leaders. You've given people a permission structure to talk about something. That, to them was the most important issue. Nobody wanted to talk about the Texas Tribune, who, by the way, is no supporter of MAGA or President Trump or the war room or economic war room or anything is. They've said this has become the number one issue in this primary. Why do you think it was? It was boiling right below the surface. Why did it just take a little effort to bring it up? And now you've got everybody in the state that's on fire about this Sharia law issue.
Kevin Freeman
Well, Steve, I've covered a lot of issues and we work together on committee on the present danger of China. We've worked together on a whole host of issues, stopping globalism and so forth. This one is capturing people's attention because they're seeing it day to day. You go to a Costco on a Saturday in Plano and you will see women covered and you will see women being yelled at by their husbands and abused by their husbands, the children being treated poorly. And all of a sudden you'll see some of our friends have said, hey, wait, you're an American now, don't act that way. They don't think they're an American now. They think this is the new territory. It's a hijra, it's an immigration strategy. They're going to come in like Muhammad and take over Plano and Texas and the United States. And people see it. We have a family friend whose daughter grew up with our kids and all of a sudden she was swept our fur feet by a Muslim man with a lot of money. Next thing you know, she's fully covered and she's leaving the country. And her mom says, I don't think I'll ever see her again. And we're watching, not without my daughter happening on a daily basis. And if you live in Dearmore and you've seen it for the past decade, but now we're seeing it in Texas and that scares people because you don't want to share my Texas. So when you raise that as an issue, people get scared and they say, what's happening here? And they watched Biden opened the border, all these people came across, now they're advertising and Qatar and in most cases Islamic countries. Come to America and you can, by the way, this is a financial jihad war. You can come here, take advantage of our welfare systems and take the money and send them back to your home country. They think that's just another kind of tax on the non Muslims. That's how it's being advertised. We're in an economic, a cultural and a spiritual war. And Texans see it. That's why they're getting so upset.
Steve Bannon
Talk to me about the economic. I mean, you're the specialist. You run the economic war room. People turn to you all the time. People are calling you and asking you questions about this. I think, quite frankly, and this is, I'm a Big advocate of what's happening in Iran. President Trump is using sanctions, economic warfare, maybe even cut off the oil from there. It's brought the mullahs virtually to their knees right now. What is it about Sharia finance? What is it about the economic warfare coming out of the Gulf Emirates that concerns you the most?
Kevin Freeman
Well, you know, not many people know this, but I did the work for the Pentagon, for the Department of War at the time, Department of defense back in 2008. There were economic elements from Qatar and Abu Dhabi that were tied to the Muslim Brotherhood that took down, they attacked our stock market. They went after the, quote, Jewish banks. And so we saw Bear Stearns, we saw Lehman Brothers, we saw Goldman Sachs all under, under attack. And I traced it back and it came back to Yusuf Al Qaradawi, a Muslim scholar who gave, he issued a ruling that says that you could short sell usurious institutions. And you trace back a lot of the short selling, it goes back to the Muslim Brotherhood and they literally attacked us. But we see economic warfare in the zakat, which is the mandatory tax every Muslim has to pay. And you get to what, wealth tax? It's not an income tax, it's a wealth tax. Two and a half percent of whatever you're worth, you're supposed to pay. And there's only eight places it can go. One of those places is for the cause of Allah. And for the cause of Allah can be jihad. It can be supporting immigrants coming here. It can be setting somebody up in business so they can buy our real estate or any of the other immigration strategies. And then when they get here, the intention is to get on as many welfare roles as as possible and send the money back. So we see lots of fraud like we see in the Somalis in Minneapolis. And you could also be for the cause of Allah. And you could be funding protests in downtown Dallas or you can fund them in Minneapolis. So the reality of it is is it's all about the money all the way through. It's hijra, it's all interconnected. And it started in 2008, on September 11, 2008. That's when Lehman Brothers went down. It's amazing. Seven years to the day after 9, 11, this is a full blown economic war. That's how Osama bin Laden termed it when he attacked the World Trade Center. Why would you fly into the World Trade center as opposed to a Michigan, Ohio State game if you want to kill the maximum number of people, you show up at the super bowl and fly your plane into that no they flew into the World Trade center because it was an economic power. And Bin Laden said it's death by a thousand cuts. And the notion was we'll spend, you know, $100,000 in some box cutters and America will respond spending trillions of dollars in response. And we're still spending trillions of dollars. They thought they could bankrupt us. It is economic warfare in addition to the cultural warfare, in addition to the spiritual warfare.
Steve Bannon
Does it concern you as an economics guy that 25, I mean, I can't believe I'm saying this. I can't even get my head around it. 25 years after 9 11, where we had Rudy Giuliani and Bernie Kerik and the heroes of 9 11, that 25 years after 911 we have the person, the manifestation or personification of the Red Green Alliance, a Ugandan Marxist jihadist was elected mayor of New York City, sir, the financial capital of the world.
Kevin Freeman
It's frightening. I would add one more is the Red Green Blue alliance to get the global ascent. And he was elected by the Yellow alliance, which are the traitors and cowards that are selling us out in Washington D.C. on Wall Street, Silicon Valley and other places. But yes, it's unbelievable that the American people could be so duped. It was shortly after 9 11, seven years after 911 that we elected Barack Hussein Obama. And by the way, he was elected because our stock market crashed. Even Joe Biden admitted that. He said John McCain probably would have won if Trump the stock market hadn't crashed. Well, the stock market crash was orchestrated as I proved in my Pentagon research. It was in my New York Times best selling first book titled Secret Weapon. Nobody gets that. So of course this is the plan. The plan is to put Mandani in and literally the Muslims say we're going to elect every city council, we're going to elect people to the Congress, we're going to let people in county elections and state elections. That is the intention. They'll either compromise the so called Republicans or Democrats or they will replace them with all these really good nice people that are complete absolute socialists that hate America and have no intention of seeing the land of liberty provide opportunity for our children and grandchildren.
Steve Bannon
Kevin, as an expert you've got sharia this Prop 10 is on the ballot for March 3rd March which begins the mechanism of prohibiting Sharia law. In Texas you have the governor has designated the Muslim Brotherhood and Care as terrorist organizations. Something even President Trump, President Trump has done it in certain territories. The Muslim Brotherhood chapter in Jordan, in Syria and in Egypt, but not Qatar and not Turkey. You have a law about Epic City, but it hasn't been totally, you know, thought through. It's got a bunch of holes. You could drive through it of everything that's out there. And given that you're a finance expert and you understand about Islamic finance and how they kind of get around certain rules, what is your greatest concern right now about this Islamic takeover of Texas from the financial and economic point of view?
Kevin Freeman
Well, it's the fraud. It's the massive amounts of fraud that we see in Minneapolis and we see everywhere else. I saw you hold up people, Schweitzer's book. I'm gonna have him on the economic war room. I've seen some of his interviews where he's talking about all of the purposed fraud, where they say, this is your Muslim obligation. You go in and you take as much money as you can in fraud and send it out of the country. And we see the suitcases full of cash going out of Minneapolis to Somalia right now. We can't afford any more fraud. We have $40 trillion of debt.
Ken Paxton
How.
Kevin Freeman
How much of that was fraudulently sent out of the country because of economic warfare? If we continue on this path, we're bankrupt as a society. They're going to win 16 years from now based on the trajectory. We won't make enough in tax revenue even to pay the interest on our debt. Even the interest on our debt. So we're bankrupt as it stands now. And if we don't shut this fraud off almost immediately. And that's what bothers me about Minneapolis, is ICE is in there getting people out that are illegally here. Well, that they've made a big deal out of this.
Doc Pete Chambers
Half.
Kevin Freeman
Half the reason is to create a distraction so we don't go in and end the fraud. We're seeing fraud in every state, including Texas. And then we see state money being given to Islamic institutions that are connected to CARE and tied to these known terror groups under state designation by our government.
Doc Pete Chambers
Governor.
Steve Bannon
Kevin, we got a couple minutes left. I know the president gets clips of your show and is familiar with your writings. If you were in the Oval right now before he goes to the Melania preview and you're having a cup of coffee, what are the two or three things you tell the President? Mr. President, these are the two or three things I think you need to do to get your arms around this red, green, blue, basically color revolution that's taking over the United States.
Kevin Freeman
Well, number one, don't back down under any circumstances for any reason. Just tell the American people why they should support what you're doing. Number two, worry about the debt and the deficit. It is not an endless checkbook. It cannot be an endless checkbook. Number three, we better get gold back into the United States and in the hands of the United States citizens as much as possible because foreign nations, that's phase three. I wrote about it in 2008. I said, phase one, they manipulated our energy markets and you can see the that with the climate change efforts and other efforts. Phase two, they attacked our stock market in 2008, almost collapses as a society. And I wrote then in the Pentagon, phase three will be an attack on the dollar. The dollar has gotten very weak, Mr. President, you said, well, it doesn't matter if it gets a little weaker because it might help our exports. Mr. President, we cannot have the dollar, a bum rush on the dollar that bankrupts us. We've got to be very careful. It's okay to have a little bit weaker dollar. It is not okay to have a run on the American bank. That's what's happening. That's what they're perpetrating. And gold is a big part of the answer for the United States.
Steve Bannon

Steve Bannon
Kevin, thanks. Thanks for everything you're doing out the ranch, everything. Look forward to seeing you guys down there and hanging out for a couple weeks as we do the run up to the, to the primary. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you.
Kevin Freeman
Fantastic. Thank you, Steve.
Steve Bannon
One of the reasons we're going to win is, well, we have to win, so we don't have a choice. And the reason we have to win in Texas is that's where the turnaround is going to start. Let me give you the good news. I've been all over the world as a, you know, Goldman Sachs and as a naval officer and then as an entrepreneur and a financier. The team that has come together, the grassroots team in Texas is extraordinary. Pound for pound, the best I've ever seen. I say this and I say it all the time. As a Virginian, you're taught from a childhood that Virginia, the Commonwealth, is the mother of presidents and is the greatest state and is the greatest state the United States has ever had. But I will tell you the crown jewel in this union is Texas and it's because not just the great resources, the beauty of the land, all of it, it's the people. The people in Texas are extraordinary. And you are the tip of the spear for us to turn this thing around. We're going to see you tomorrow morning at 10, 10am Eastern Standard Time. You'll be back in the war room for War Room, Texas. We'll leave you now with the Searchers.

Podcast: Bannon's War Room
Episode: WarRoom Battleground EP 937
Date: January 30, 2026
Main Theme:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's investigation into school districts' connections to CAIR-funded Islamic games, the role of Sharia law in Texas politics, the ongoing Republican primary, and the border/security concerns tied to Islamic influence, with additional perspectives from gubernatorial candidate Doc Pete Chambers and economic warfare expert Kevin Freeman.
This episode centers on growing concerns over alleged Islamic influence in Texas, specifically through litigation and investigation into "Sharia law" and Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations (especially CAIR). Attorney General Ken Paxton, leading in the Republican Senate primary against incumbent John Cornyn, joins Bannon to discuss legal actions and campaign messaging. Doc Pete Chambers, a candidate for governor with a special operations background, provides a "national security" view on border and domestic Islamic issues. Kevin Freeman provides analysis of "economic warfare" and financial threats allegedly posed by foreign (especially Islamic) actors. The tone is urgent, adversarial, and highly politicized, tying security, economic, and cultural anxieties to current primaries and broader American identity.
Main Insight:
Hosts and guests allege an active threat from "Islamic jihadis" aiming to "overthrow Western civilization" via cultural, legal, and economic means—focusing especially on recent Muslim immigration and the activities of CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood in Texas.
Main Insight:
Attorney General Ken Paxton is running against longtime incumbent John Cornyn, asserting Cornyn is part of a corrupt, establishment GOP aligned with "open borders" and soft on both Islamic issues and border security.
Main Insight:
Recent legal actions center on preventing alternate "legal systems" from establishing themselves, with specific lawsuits targeting projects like "EPIC City" (now "Meadows"), alleged securities fraud, and connections to "Islamic Games."
Main Insight:
Chambers draws on his military experience to equate Islamic schools and social services infrastructure with the "madrasas" of Pakistan and Afghanistan, warning that Texas is facing a "domestic color revolution" with jihadist elements.
Main Insight:
Freeman asserts Islamic finance and Gulf state actors use economic strategies as "war," funding migration, welfare fraud, and even stock market collapse to undermine the U.S.
This episode wove together legal, political, security, and economic fears concerning Islamic influence, emphasizing Texas as the last defense against this purported threat. It promoted Ken Paxton as the MAGA candidate for Senate, Doc Pete Chambers as a hardliner alternative for governor, and economic vigilance against Islamic and globalist actors. Throughout, the language was urgent, combative, and nationalistic, framing the coming Texas primary as pivotal for the entire country’s future.
Key takeaway:
The guests and host present a narrative of coordinated Islamic infiltration, both legal and economic, into Texas, assert that only aggressive legal and political action will prevent further encroachment, and urge listeners to mobilize for the upcoming primary as if the fate of the nation (and Western civilization) depended on it.
