Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Abbott’s “Sharia Law” Bill and the Epic City Controversy

• (00:01–01:37): Coverage opens with Governor Abbott signing a law widely understood to target large-scale, Muslim-centric residential developments — specifically Epic City in Collin County.

  • While the bill doesn't mention Sharia by name, it aims to prevent “religious compounds” that restrict residency by faith.
  • Republicans frame the law as anti-discriminatory, stating it prohibits exclusionary, religious-based housing developments.
  • Quote: "People are not going to be able to establish these comprehensive large-scale developments that limit only people of one religious belief to that area." — Stephen K. Bannon (01:18)

• Epic City developers claim inclusion: The development’s planners insist all are welcome, dismissing accusations as “racial profiling.”

2. Fear of “Islamification” and Redefining Community

• (01:37–02:33): Rhetoric intensifies, equating “Sharia compounds” to a threat to Western society, with strong language about Islamic radicalism and terrorism.

  • Senator John Cornyn highlights revoking tax-exempt status from Islamic organizations and declares, “Sharia law has no place in American courts or communities.”
  • Quote: "No organization that supports terrorists should receive taxpayer benefits. And Sharia law has no place in American courts or communities." — John Cornyn (02:22)

• National Security Overtones: Frequent framing of demographic and housing changes as existential threats to American, and especially Texas, identity.

3. The Texas SD9 Special Election Shock

• (03:02–05:58): Republican dominance in Tarrant County (long a MAGA stronghold) is upended as Democrat Taylor Roamet wins by 14 points — a 31-point swing from Trump’s 2024 margin.

  • GOP panelists see this as a potentially dire omen, not an anomaly.
  • Quote: “If you ignore this, you're going to ice yourself out of a majority come the midterms." — Joe (03:24)
  • Historical Analysis: Recalls that special elections reliably foreshadow midterm outcomes; Democrats’ current “overperformance” mirrors patterns from the 2017-2018 blue wave.

• Democratic Momentum: Democrats averaging 12–15 point overperformance against prior results—“Democrats should love and Republicans should be really worried about” these trends.

4. Linking Demographic Change to National Security

• (05:58–07:17): Bannon and guests conflate “Islamic Jihadis” and changing Texas suburbs, casting migration and new communities as coordinated efforts against Western civilization.

• Ballot Initiative Push: On March 3, Republicans will put a proposition to ban Sharia law in Texas on the primary ballot, with Bannon urging maximum turnout.

• Quote: "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." — Stephen K. Bannon (06:38)

5. Scott Coburn’s Iran Experience and Warnings for Texas

• (07:17–12:42):

  • Coburn shares how his Texan family was forced to flee Iran during the 1979 revolution, recounting threats and the Ross Perot-led rescue mission for American hostages.

  • Draws a direct parallel between the Iranian upheaval and perceived threats to Texas communities from religiously driven developments and policies.

  • Quote: "What seemingly started as simple protests…quickly escalate into warfare and violence… If we don't get this under control now, that's where we're headed." — Scott Coburn (11:10)

• Epic City as a Tipping Point: Panel agrees the scale and visibility of Epic City forced state leaders to act and galvanized political backlash.

6. Shifting Texas Suburbs: The Case of Plano

• (13:23–16:28): Coburn reflects on changes in Plano since his family arrived from Iran, with Bannon noting suburb growth and increasing diversity as drivers of “radical change.”

• Self-Image vs. New Demographics: Panel frames Epic-like projects as more than zoning controversies—they’re seen as attempts at “control” and systemic transformation of communities.

7. Special Election Post-Mortem and Republican Divisions

• (16:28–21:54):

  • Analysis of why the GOP lost SD9: poor turnout, weather, complacency, over-reliance on Trump’s previous margins, and a divided party (moderates vs. MAGA).

  • Quote: “If we don't hold the House, every day in President Trump's life will be a nightmare.” — Stephen K. Bannon (18:06)

  • Moderate Republicans' Role: Accusations that moderate Republicans (like John Huffman) undermined the conservative nominee out of intra-party hostility.

  • Outside Money: Panel laments “hundreds of millions of dollars” in “dark money” funding Democratic organizing in Texas, modeled after Democratic victories in Colorado.

8. Countering Democratic Ground Game and Voter Engagement

• (21:54–24:04):
  • Acknowledgement of the left's strong organizing, referencing the Democratic Socialists and Working Family Party: “They have a very sophisticated ground game.” — Stephen K. Bannon (23:19)
  • Urges conservatives to match Democratic energy and voter outreach, especially heading into the March primaries.

9. National Media and Broader Implications

• (32:03–37:20):

  • Clarice Tinsley delivers a rundown of national media reactions, including the Wall Street Journal attributing the SD9 loss to backlash over mass deportations and Trump’s “debacles.”

  • The panel disagrees with the mainstream assessment, blaming low GOP turnout and Democratic enthusiasm instead of a referendum on Trump.

  • Satirical Quote: “Will Republicans realize that hitting themselves in the forehead with a ball peen hammer causes their forehead to hurt?” — Joe (34:10)

10. Luke Macias on Republican Complacency and the Coming Primaries

• (39:11–48:44):
  • Macias cites lackluster GOP turnout compared to Democrats’ “war mentality.”
  • Moderate Republicans accused of celebrating Democratic wins and possibly planning to undermine more conservative nominees.
  • Three key reasons for GOP losses: (1) Disenfranchised conservatives; (2) A false sense of security and “too much winning” media narrative; (3) Moderates willing to sit out or even sabotage races.
  • Quote: “The left doesn’t have to talk to them tremendously. They're just showing up, where we're having to yell at our people.” — Luke Macias (41:20)

11. The Stakes for Texas—and the Country

• (45:56–48:44):

  • Bannon and Macias warn of a “Colorado on Texas” scenario, referencing Democratic takeover through organizing and candidate recruitment.

  • The upcoming March 3 primary is pitched as a pivotal test for conservative strength and engagement.

  • Macias calls for focus on supporting the most conservative candidates and minimizing moderate influence, warning of dire long-term consequences if Democrats gain traction in Texas.

  • Quote: “We can't be complacent because if you wake up in November and Democrats have made serious grounds...you're going to have a House majority that has swung...which gives them a lot of wiggle room to screw up the America first agenda for not just one cycle, but the next 10 years.” — Luke Macias (49:06)

Transcript

[Clarice Tinsley]

Governor Abbott signed a bill banning Sharia law. The legislation created after a religious rights battle erupted in Collin County. Good evening. I'm Clarice Tinsley. Governor Abbott was in North Texas for that bill signing banning residential properties from creating Sharia law compounds. This comes after state Republican leaders raised concerns about a Muslim centric development plan in Collin county called Epic City. Foxhorse. Stephen Dial is there and Stephen Clarice.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Governor Abbott says that this law was needed, in his words, to prevent discrimination based on religion. As you mentioned, some lawmakers were concerned and passed bills after the East Plano Islamic center had plans to make a development for people of the Muslim faith in Josephine. Now, while Sharia law is not mentioned in this bill language the governor signed Friday, he says he intend it intends to ban residential property developments like Epic City, creating Sharia law compounds. Abbott said that this law is not targeting Muslims. He says it prevents any housing discrimination.

[Joe]

On the basis of any religion, regardless.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Of which religion it is.

[Joe]

People are not going to be able.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

To establish these comprehensive large scale developments that limit only people of one religious belief to that area.

[Luke Macias]

And you can only buy if you're part of that religion.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

You can only still if you're part of that religion.

[Luke Macias]

Religious discrimination is in violation of Texas law.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Now, the plan for the development included 1,000 homes, a mosque and school. The developers for the community say that people from all religions will be welcome. In June, the U.S. department of justice closed an investigation into Epic City. Now, there have still been multiple state investigations into this type of development. And it's important to note that the lawyers representing those for this development say that this is what they call racial profiling. Radical Islam is a bloodthirsty ideology. It fueled the unspeakable crimes. On October 7, it showed its evil face again at Bondi Beach. As Texas senator, I'm fighting to revoke the tax exempt status of the Council on American Islamic Relations.

[Scott Coburn]

Let me be clear.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

No organization that supports terrorists should receive taxpayer benefits. And Sharia law has no place in American courts or communities. I'm John Cornyn and I approve this message.

[Scott Coburn]

Join my team and give today.

[Joe]

And this is all about a special election for a Texas State senate seat around Fort Worth. That's exactly right. Texas 9. Texas 9. Because what happened in Texas 9, it didn't just swing to the left, it took a rocket ship to the left. My goodness gracious. The Texas 9 Senate District election marches. This was a district that Donald Trump won by 17 points in 2024. The Democratic candidate in the special election on Saturday.

[Scott Coburn]

Hello.

[Joe]

Won it by 14 points. That's an over 30 point shift to the left. Any Republican, unlike Ron DeSantis, who doesn't take this seriously, they should realize that this is very perilous. They ignore this result at their own peril. Ron DeSantis is right to say, hey, special elections can be quirky, but this ain't no quirk. Congressman Pete Sessions from Texas basically told me, he said no Democrat should ever win in North Texas like this. Although he also said there was an ice storm. 31 points. That's not an ice storm. No, that ain't no ice storm. If you ignore this, you're going to ice yourself out of a majority come the midterms. All right, when we look at these special elections, and this is something you.

[Luke Macias]

And I talk about a lot and.

[Joe]

Look at very closely in between the federal elections, what can they tell us? Okay, so, you know, you see this 31 point shift to the left, right? If this were just one election, that would be one thing. But it's the slew of special elections that together paint a picture. And it's a picture that Democrats should love and a picture that Republicans should be really worried about. Because what are we talking about here? Okay, the average 2025, 26 special election Democrats are doing, get this, 12 points better. 12 points better than Kamala Harris did in 2024. You know, that was a state special election that happened in Texas on Saturday. If you look at the first federal special elections, this 12 points is actually north of 15 points on average. I was looking back through the history books, this looks a whole heck of a lot like what we saw during the 2017, 2018 cycle, where you saw these Democrats outperforming how Hillary Clinton did in 2016. And what did it forecast? It forecasts a net gain of 40 seats for Democrats. And I remember back in Pennsylvania, remember there was that southwestern, that was a congressional special election seat, but that was one in which the Democratic candidate was able to actually win in a deeply red Republican district. And that, of course, foretold big democratic gains come 2018. Foretells how, I mean, how frequently do these special elections foretell what happens in the midterms? Okay, so you see this 12 point overperformance. You see this 31 point overperformance. But that don't mean nothing if it ain't forecastable to the midterm elections. So what are we looking at here? Well, take a look at special elections since all the way back in the 2005, 2006 cycle, five out of five times the party that outperforms in the special elections goes on to win the US House of Representatives. And this of course, all paints a picture, right? Texas 9, the special elections. The history of special elections in which Democrats look like they're in the catbird seat to take back the US House come 2026 November. Which is why Ron DeSantis and others are nervous this morning.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Islamic Jihadis are plotting against you. Why in the hell you think they're in Houston and the north of Dallas?

[Joe]

They are working together to overthrow Western civilization.

[Clarice Tinsley]

Sharia compounds which are areas governed by religious rules.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

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.

[Luke Macias]

Any attempt to impose Sharia law in Texas.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

They are not coming. They are already here. You are not here properly and you're going to leave. On 3 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, it will not dominate Texas. As Texas goes, so goes the nation. As the nation goes, so goes the world.

[Joe]

Are you prepared to fight for this state? Are you prepared to fight for your country?

[Scott Coburn]

War Room Texas. Your host Stephen K. Bannon starts right now.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

It's Monday to February in the year of our Lord 2026. I want to thank Scott Coburn for joining us. A long term Texan, right? You're a Texan. Tell me about your dad actually worked for Ross Perot and you spent a lot of years actually in a place that we talk about a lot, Tehran. Talk to us about. You've actually had to live as a very small child, I guess it was under the tender care, tender mercies of the Islamic Republic. What was it like?

[Scott Coburn]

Yeah, Steve. So when I was about 8 or 9 years old, my father worked for Ross Perot and EDS. We got transferred over to Tehran, Iran to do a government contract and just so happened why we lived there was that was when the Shah was overthrown.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

This is about 79.

[Scott Coburn]

79.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

What year did you get over there?

[Scott Coburn]

We got over there in late 78 and we were only supposed to be over there for two years while things escalated. And literally one day with all the rioting going on in the streets, they had left a note on our door in our house that said Americans leave or die. And wow. Yeah, we were, we were gone. Our family, me and my sisters and my mom were gone the next day. My dad stayed over there to try to get the rest of the EDS people out of the country.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

And well, well, this led to. Didn't Ross Perot even before because I was a young naval officer, 79 and 80 was in the North Arabian Sea as the audience knows, as a, on a destroyer. Destroyer officer. And we were practicing in the run up to Desert One which turned out to be a failure. Not because of the people, just because of the kind of the equipment. And it was just too impractical to do. We didn't have the Special Forces coordination. But Ross Perot basically tried to get his, attempted to get his guys out. Correct. He wouldn't, he, he was a leave nobody behind and he was not that convinced that the Carter administration was being aggressive enough in helping American citizens get out.

[Scott Coburn]

That's exactly right, Steve. So essentially, you know, this kind of speaks volumes about the kind of guy Ross Perot was. He tried through Kissinger in the State Department to, to get his, the, the two hostages that had been taken by the Iranian government. And when that failed, he typical pro fashion, he formed his own team of ex military guys that worked for eds.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

They went over a couple of, three of those.

[Scott Coburn]

Yeah. Just.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

He would hire every now and again the Eric princes of the world.

[Scott Coburn]

And they went over there and, and busted the guys out, brought them back home, wrote a book about it. But my, my father was actually the deputy commander under Colonel Bull Simons on that mission.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

On the mission. So tell me about, I mean, so your family, you saw very early on at a young age what Islam was going to do and what an Islamic republic could do, right?

[Scott Coburn]

Yeah. And I saw how quickly it could escalate.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

How quickly?

[Scott Coburn]

Well, the Shah seemingly had everything under control.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Oh, he was America's greatest ally in the region. It wasn't Israel at that time, it was Persia. And the Shah of Iran.

[Scott Coburn]

That's right. That's right. And how quickly that changed when the radical Islam, Islam got hold of the country and next thing, you know, full scale rioting, of course, the Shah was overthrown and, and the rest is history. We've seen what's happened to that country since then. But, but that's what's happening here, Steve. You know this, I mean it's, it's, it's.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Do you sense that having gone through that before as a young kid and having your father stay behind on what was. And, and you know, you can't get More Texas than Ross Perot. Right. To say, get all of our guys out. Right. And then if you don't get them out, your deputy commander. We gotta go in. If the US Government's not gonna help us, we're gonna go in ourselves. How does that. What you're seeing in particularly in North Texas, relate to that?

[Scott Coburn]

Yeah, so. So what seemingly started as, you know, simple protests and what have you quickly escalate into warfare and violence and whatnot. We've seen that here very quickly escalate into that. And we know what happens next if we don't squash this. So when we talk about taking matters into our own hands here in North Texas, that's what we're trying to do. Because, you know, personally, I've seen it, but we've seen it elsewhere happen. Look at what's happening in Minnesota. If we don't get this under control now, that's where we're headed. So there's no more important thing that we could be focused on right now than the Islamification.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

It seems like it was right below the surface. You had Abbott come out a while ago, and he was trying to put down Epic City, but he went out of his way. He said, this is not. It's about Sharia. It's not about Islam. Then you've had Cornyn, who's about as conventional as you get in the U.S. senate. He must know the heat's up because now not only has he made the spot, he's carpet bombing the spot everywhere to let people know where he stands on this. Why did it go from below the surface now to the permission structure that people not only want to talk about this, they feel that they have to talk about it and they have to take action about it.

[Scott Coburn]

Honestly, Steve, I would look at even your own actions, getting involved in this, educating people outside of. In and outside of our area of what's going on, the dangers of this, pulling back the covers to expose really what's happening. That's what's going on. And I want to thank you guys for. For kind of lead. Helping us lead the way.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

And we just saw it building, and I saw. Talk to me about this Epic City. Epic City, I think, brought it to the. Because you've had issues in Plano and other cities around here. You've had the. The mayor that's now in Congress. They hassled her for years at the city council meetings. So this was going around in spots, but people couldn't connect the dots that it didn't seem organized. I guess Epic City is what Broke that. It broke the barrier on that. All of a sudden people said, well, hang on for a second. This is too big. It takes too much financing. It's going to be too big a community. It's centered around a mosque. All of a sudden, this looks real and it's in one of the most, you know, beautiful places of North Texas.

[Scott Coburn]

Yeah, actually, I grew up in Plano, so I had seen kind of how that community has changed over the years.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

How's that tell us about Plano?

[Scott Coburn]

Well, when I lived in Plano in the late 80s, early 90s, it was. It was just a podunk, you know, suburb of Dallas. And, and we didn't think anything of. I didn't even know. It is long ification.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

So when you came back from Tehran, you guys moved to. You guys moved to Plano's when you brought the family back.

[Scott Coburn]

Yep.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

So you had left the fire right of the Islamic. And by the way, the Ayatollah was about as radical as you can get. But I keep saying here, you know, Mark Levin did his 18 minute pitch last night for military action. You were there. They did bring it on themselves. I mean, they threw the Shah out. The Shah was far from perfect. They had savak, they had an internal police force. He had lost touch with a lot of his people. But the people in Iran, and particularly the people today, they're in the streets. Their parents, some of them themselves, but their parents are what brought on this Islamic republic. To me. They've got to take care of it. But you having seen that, come back to the kind of prototypical small Texas town north of Dallas in kind of the era of when the suburbs are being built and all these towns are becoming very big. It's just a sleepy Texas town.

[Luke Macias]

Yeah.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

And it ain't a sleepy Texas town anymore.

[Scott Coburn]

No, no. And. And going back to epic.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Wow.

[Scott Coburn]

I mean, you talk about they're trying to slide one in stealth mode and thank God.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

What do you mean by that?

[Scott Coburn]

Well, it. No, nobody. There was no. Nobody knew what was going on or what the real, the real motive was for that community until Paxton and some of the others started exposing it and some of the local politicians up there on our side. And once it. Once the covers came off and people started seeing it for what it really was, you saw what happened. Abbott, Cornyn and others got involved, to say no more. But we've.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Because this was by popular demand. People in the area were saying, this has got to stop. And it's more than just a zoning issue. The people in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma Did a magnificent job in stopping a epic like development there and there. They used the zoning restrictions and things like this. But Everybody knew, right. 1100 or 1200 people showed up to the planning commission, 401 to speak. And right below that surface is that we just don't want to do this in our community. It's not a religion. It's a means of control. And we're seeing that as we look out in the community, whether we're going shopping on a Saturday morning or whether we're just driving through town in the middle of the afternoon. These communities are changing radically.

[Scott Coburn]

Yeah. And Steve, I want to be clear. I mean, we're not. We're not into squashing anybody's First Amendment freedom of religion. If you. You worship whatever God you want, I don't care. But when you start bringing in things like Sharia law and you start challenging the tenets of our United States Constitution and the rights of our American citizens, you've drawn the line. Especially with Texans. You draw the line and we're going to fight and we're going to squash it.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Have you noticed that here in the last couple of weeks that people are now more focused than. I mean, for Cornyn to come out do that spot, I think is a pret. Could tell given. Given that the Attorney General Paxton's been on this from the beginning and really is one of the driving forces in back of. In back of getting this exposure on Epic City.

[Scott Coburn]

Yeah, yeah. And. And you're right. Coran's commercial really kind of tells everybody what is really at stake here.

[Luke Macias]

Right. If.

[Scott Coburn]

If it really is the most important thing that we can focus on right now. It. It has to be.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

So talk to us. We had a. By the way. So let's go just to March 3rd before we go to this special election in the 3rd of March is we're heading up to a primary. It's on the ballot of just very simple. A proposition that would put it on the ballot in November to prohibit Sharia law in the state of Texas. Correct. And the exercise to have as big a turnout for that as possible on the Republican side.

[Scott Coburn]

Yeah. And listen, if last week or Saturday wasn't a wake up call, I don't know what is that. We have to be on our side. We've got to be more involved and wake up. I'm telling you guys, this is not time to sit one out. I mean, I know special elections and things like that may not get people excited. It should. And if what just happened on Saturday is any indication in SD9 here of what could happen on March 3rd and even in the midterms. We need to wake up. You said it earlier, Steve, we're at war. And if we don't treat this like war.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

But the Democrats are treating it like war.

[Scott Coburn]

They're treating it like war.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Look, there's all types of outside money and dark money that came in here to help this candidate. But they definitely had an enthusiasm on their side that hearkens back, I think, greater than 2018 when Nancy Pelosi took the House. I'm telling people it looks to me kind of like the Tea Party energy we saw back in 2009 and 2010 when we won, I think, 63 seats in the House. That is, and I realize, not our audience. I think our audience has a realistic assessment of President Trump's victories and also the headwinds against President Trump and the fights he's had to have that they realize it's so important. If we don't hold the House, every day in President Trump's life will be a nightmare. They do understand that. That's where they're. So is it a. And I realized the special election was very tough. There were a lot of things going on, number one, and I guess it was with the earliest they could have it within the, within the restrictions. But it was a long gap between the first time, the first round and now. And it was on a Saturday. Being on a Saturday is just very tough, particularly in the middle of winter. And you've had a winner here. Not to be believed.

[Luke Macias]

Right.

[Scott Coburn]

Oh, the last week in early voting was ridiculous. We had ice and snow and everything else. It was awful. So, yes, we would have liked to have seen that back in December or late November, closer to when the original election was. But even, even having said that, you mentioned, you know, the Trump factor here. Yeah. Trump took this district by 17 points.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

In 24 and he won Texas by 14. I mean, and this is the, as we say, the way Tarrant county, as Tarrant county goes, so goes Texas. As Texas goes, so goes the country. As the country goes, so go the world. So this is the epicenter of really the MAGA movement, the Trump movement. And the left knew that. That's one of the reasons they're spiking the football this morning. And they should have every right to spike the football wins a win.

[Scott Coburn]

That's right. And I think what hurt us, obviously, in hindsight is people looked at the 17 point victory Trump had in 24. And when the moderate Republican got out of the race from back in November, Huffman I think people incorrectly assumed that we would pick up those 20,000 votes and we would just carry the day. Well, that didn't happen. We know what happened. What people should have been looking at is The Democrat took 47% of that race of the vote back in November.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

First time.

[Scott Coburn]

Yes, first time. That's what they should have seen, that momentum headed that direction. They should have got off the couch regardless of the weather, little cold weather.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Do you think, do you think you have moderates? I mean, what we had Luke Macias on this morning, who always does a great analysis. He said, look, one of the realities you have to understand, there are moderate Republicans that would just as soon see conservatives likely or even like Trump kind of thwarted because there's a huge move inside right now for Abbott and other people from the kind of the Bush regime that want to take Texas back, particularly as Brian Harrison and a handful of others are working to defeat these House members and Senate members and make the House and the Senate more responsive to the grassroots. You have a countervailing force. And it was pretty obvious that Huffman had no interest in assisting her at all and didn't really guide his people to do that.

[Scott Coburn]

No, no, it's, that's a shame, really. I mean, if you, if you look at, if you look back at it, I think that that may become a real strategy for, for the left. Right? Because, you know, Huffman, say what you will, the guy, if he was truly on our side, he could have energized his voters to come out and get behind Lee and we could have taken care of business. It didn't happen. And in fact, as I heard it, he was actually celebrating the outcome on Saturday. Yes, that, that says it all right there.

[Luke Macias]

Right.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

It's going to Trump derangement syndrome. You saw this in 18. This is what Nancy Pelosi went around. They knocked on doors. All that summer, she was telling her volunteers, if we take the House, if I become speaker, we're eventually going to, going to impeach Trump. Now, they tried to tamp that down their national advertising because they didn't want to make it seem like, oh, we're just doing this to impeach Trump. But that's what they did. And the first time she had opportunity on the ridiculous Zelensky phone call, she moved back in September of 2019 to try to chop block him for the 2020 race. You're seeing. But Trump derangement syndrome then is a fraction of what it is today because they understand President Trump is serious about mass deportations. Right he's serious about getting back to American first foreign policy. He's very serious about breaking the deep state. And he's really serious about the mass deportations of this Red Green alliance to break it. Both the radical Islam part of it and the breaking of these neo Marxists like you see in New York City. That's what they have in mind for Texas. Exactly what happened in Colorado. Now, sources put in $350 million over years, but they see now with President Trump taking more action, a bigger Trump derangement syndrome. I mean, a lot of this energy came from the Democratic Socialist Party.

[Luke Macias]

Right.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

The DSA and the Working Family Party are so radical. But they've got. I tell people they have a ground game. They have a very sophisticated ground game. You saw this in Mamdani's race in New York City and you've seen it here now in Texas.

[Scott Coburn]

Yeah. And it's pretty clear, you know, Trump is their biggest threat to their way of life. They know that. They're gonna do whatever it takes to take him out. And anybody that associates, associates with MAGA or Trump or whatever you want to call it, they're going to do whatever it takes to take that down, including getting outside money. Now, Texans need to understand, and I think that needs to be exposed more, Steve, is really about how much outside money is coming into these races. Dark money is coming in by the hundreds of millions of dollars. And we have to understand that and do what we can to stop it.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

No, no, no. They see, they see the Colorado model as Texas and they've already put hundreds of millions, not a billion dollars into doing this. And Trump won in 2024. When you get everybody out, we win. Trump won by 14. I think Ted Cruz won by 12. Everybody turned out after all their working. If you don't take it seriously, if you don't understand they're at war with us and they will do anything to defeat us, then you're going to get beaten. You need to get. We need to get motivated. We need to get people out. That's why I think this March primary is going to be a great indicator of how many people we actually turn out and how many people come to the polls. I would think with the Senate race that you have right now between Attorney General Paxton and John Cornyn, that we're going to have a big turnout, but that's why it's very important and particularly on Prop 10, prohibiting Syria law in the state of Texas. Talk to me about Patriot Mobile. We want to make sure everybody. Patriot Mobile has been so Good of backing all the causes down here. How do people switch? I want people to make sure they get a. They get access to the Patriot Mobile services.

[Scott Coburn]

You're going to get a free month of service. We use the code Bannon. Guys, this is easy.

[Scott Coburn]

Yeah. The only accent you might hear when you call Patriot Mobile is a little East Texas hillbilly.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

That's fantastic. Scott. An incredible story. You lived under this as a, as a, as a, a young man. You've seen it. You saw what happened, particularly all the people that were Persians, that were Iranian citizens. I was being trained as a officer candidate school. I think at the time we had hundreds of Persian individuals that were coming to be trained then come in Texas and learn how to be pilots. I don't think any of those guys went home. It was absolutely brutal what the Islamic Republic did. Scott Coburn, Social media. Where do people get you? 972 Patriot. You'll talk to. You talk to a Texan with an East Texas accent right now about switching. Where do people get you on social media?

[Clarice Tinsley]

Of the movement as you point out, Democrats picked up a stunning victory in a special election runoff for a Texas Senate seat. Taylor Roamet flipped the solidly red Senate District 9, which represents Fort Worth and surrounding suburbs, defeating Republican Lee Wambsgans by 14 points. President Trump won this district by 17 points back in 2024. This is in part of Tarrant county, where no Democrat has won a state Senate seat since 1978. When asked yesterday about the race last night, President Trump claimed he didn't know anything about it. But as you can see here, he had posted in support of Wambsgan three separate times on social media in the two days leading up to the Saturday election. Florida's Republican Governor Ron DeSantis wrote on social media that special elections are quirky and not necessarily projectable. But he acknowledged that a swing of this magnitude is not something that can be dismissed. And the Wall Street Journal editorial board is writing about this in a piece entitled Texas Election Jolt to the gop. And it reads in part, quote, how does a Republican lose by 14 points in a safe conservative Texas state Senate seat that President Trump carried by 17 points in 2024. Answer when there's a voter backlash against the Trump administration, notably its mass deportation debacles. State politics is often national these days and the 31 point vote swing in a little more than 14 months can only be explained as part of a rising tide of opposition to Mr. Trump's first year. And a source public mood. Immigration enforcement that turns ugly in the streets is turning off the swing voters who will determine who wins the race for Congress this year.

[Joe]

In the question I know will Republicans realize that hitting themselves in the forehead with a ball peen hammer causes their forehead to hurt? I mean it's this obvious. Yeah, wait, I'm going to hit myself in a ball with a ball peen hammer again. That hurts. What's quirky? It's not projectable. So I'm going to hit myself in the head with a ball peen hammer again. No, it hurts. It hurts every time. And like I've said, I'm trying to help the Republicans. I'm trying to help you help yourself.

[Luke Macias]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Trying to let me help me help you. You listen and so what's happening? Well, staying with the Jerry Maguire theme. Well, voters are showing Democrats the votes and Jaymore, we've been doing this a long time. Maybe that's why I'm so fired up for having to get up on this. I had no warning. Yeah, no, but we ended this a long enough time to realize that first of all, off year elections like Virginia landslide, like a New Jersey landslide, like the California referendum, like the Wisconsin judges vote. Yeah, like, like, like Fort Worth. We're not talking about a sliver of the richest Dallas suburbs, northern suburbs. We're talking about Fort Worth, Texas. Yes. And you got Fort Worth and the northern suburbs switching like that. That is all too projectable. But Jaymar, here's the thing again that I just don't understand. It's all too predictable. They are walking over the cliff. Right. Sleepwalking over it actually slave three weeks ago that the immigration raids were motivating the left and alienating the center. And fast forward three weeks ago to last Saturday and you look at this district in Tarrant county and our kiddo went to tcu. Go Frogs. So we know about Fort Worth. This district is the perfect confluence of what the Republicans challenge is, Joe. It's a district made up of a lot of Republican suburbanites and a lot of Hispanic voters because it's basically the north side of Tarrant County. And so you get Hispanic communities, and you got a lot of upscale Republican communities. They're basically Republicans. But when they're given a lackluster Republican and a good Democrat who's an Air Force veteran who works for Lockheed, which in Fort Worth, it's kind of like working for GM in Detroit. Yeah. And they have this incredible motivational force, which is the images they're seeing on their phone and their TV screen every day. Well, guess what happens? The Democrats going to win and going to win significantly. And look, there's a lot of districts around America that are very similar to this in the US House. Significant population of Hispanic or Asian voters and a lot of suburbanites who are in the political center. If you can't win those demographics, you're not keeping the House this fall.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

I know it's torture to. I know it's torture to watch and listen to Morning Joe, but you need to, particularly on a day after what happened on Saturday. And the important thing here is everything they say is spin and misrepresentation. But they do have one thing the left is motivated with Trump derangement syndrome, like in 18, like the tea Party was motivated by trying to stop President Obama in 2010. And what we need to do is we need to get very, very, very focused on how you turn voters out. This has always been the strength of President Trump's philosophy and his political philosophy. We've always gotten low propensity, low information voters and gotten them out here. You had a massive underperformance among Trump voters. What I want to do is I had Luke Musias on, one of the smartest political analysts in Texas. Had him on this morning. Let's go ahead. I'm going to break this down. Let's go and play Luke and myself walking through, because you're going to get a much better assessment of what reality is. And we have to face reality not just in Tarrant county, but of all of Texas and the country. Let's go ahead and play and Luke Museus from the Luke Macias Show. Luke, you were great during the PAX and impeachment. Every day you were on War Room walking people through what the grassroots needed to do. Give us your assessment of what happened. Was it, was it low turnout? Did the, the Trump people frustrated? Are they, are they just not focused? I mean, to have this election on a January and a Saturday, months after the first round, I always thought was ridiculous. I thought you should have it three or four weeks after the, whatever Texas law allowed, have it in November, early December, and not wait. But people did. So you're the best at feeling at the grassroots. What happened?

[Luke Macias]

Well, I like our former Texas GOP chair Matt Rinaldi's views. He said, my view on the recent election results is that they completely validate all my political opinions, disprove everyone who has disagreed with me, and showed that if my faction got everything we want, we would win every election every time. So that's probably what almost every single person is saying right now. I think there's an important thing that's missing out of that CNN piece. When this election happened in November, it already showed us that Democrats had energy, more energy than Republicans. You and I have talked offline about this problem, Steve. 2000 less Democrat votes were cast in the special election for Taylor Remitt in that swing, even though he came short in the first round. But more than 20,000 people that came out and voted for a Republican for Senate in November did not come back out. Governor Abbott actually called this as soon as he could. By Texas law, there's some restrictions on mail in ballots and overseas people and things like that. But the reality is that Republicans did not take this race as seriously. And I think there are three factors that we need to think about. One is that there are some disenfranchised conservatives. They're patriots. They're people that you and I know very well that are just very frustrated with the lack of things that are happening. But some of those people are not participating in elections. The Democrats think they are at war. They think they are about to lose. They think they're one election away from some fascist takeover of our country, and that's their mentality. So they're showing up in droves. And honestly, you don't even have to spend a lot of money talking to them. The left doesn't have to talk to them tremendously. They're just showing up where we're having to yell at our people. So there's some disenfranchised individuals. There's some Republicans that just think we're winning. They're consuming the daily media storm from Fox News and other places, and they just think Republicans are winning, Democrats are losing. What do I have to worry about? And then the third thing, and this is the most heinous part, is that the other Republican who lost, this John Huffman, who's a more moderate Republican, he represents that Bush moderate chamber of Commerce, establishment wing of the gop. He was celebrating the night of this election and put a statement out basically saying that he and his people didn't feel that Lee had done enough to ask them to vote and understand that that moderate wing is trying to, not only in this special election, but I think they're thinking about doing this for November, is they're thinking about sitting out for any Republican nominee that is a true strong conservative in an attempt to try to take the party back in the direction of the Bush wing. The moderates in the Texas GOP that have been out of power for a decade are already trying to recruit someone to try to take the party back so that they can get a Texas GOP chair who's not actually holding Republicans accountable. So you see a lot of different things at play here. I'm sure there's several ways we could take this conversation.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Yeah. Look, one thing I don't think people are cognizant of maybe down here in Texas, but this guy was a machine shop foreman. He's a part of a union. And nothing about him personally, but the energy you see in the Democratic Party is not your old Democratic Party, the DSA and more of these far left wing. You see with Mondame, you see it in Minneapolis, you nailed it. These people believe they're at war. If you go back to the make elections great again legislation, we're asking for basic stuff, voter id, right. Purge the ballot. Purge the roles of people that are not eligible to vote in these districts anymore. Right. And, and just do some basic stuff on mail in ballots so they can't be abused like they've been in the past, like signature verification. Very modest things. They think it's the end of them because they know if that is enforced, it is the end of them. You have dsa, Working Family Party. Working Family part. DSA down in Houston is already a pretty prominent thing. You're seeing the tactics. This was. They had a grassroots movement. This movement is energized because they do believe that President Trump and MAGA is the end of them. And they're fighting like it is the end of them. We are not. Yet for some reason, people are sitting there going, hey, President Trump's in. We've got the House, we got the Senate. I look at various broadcasts, all I see is winning. It's too much winning. And they have the energy to get out. And these people are far left wing. This is not. These are not moderates. These are not old school Texas Democrats. It's a whole different reality. It's closer to what Mandami stands for in New York City. Your thoughts?

[Luke Macias]

The war room posse is probably hearing this going, what are you talking about? Because everybody I know knows we're at war. And the truth is, that's why they know who Lee Wamsconce is. That's why those who were in Tarrant county went out and voted for her. The reality is, though, most of the Republicans, you know, in your life do not have that mentality. They don't believe that we're actually one election away from having Democrats take a substantial amount of power back. This is happening in the reddest county in America, the largest red county in America. Tarrant County, Fort Worth, Arlington. Democrats have been trying to get a larger foothold in Texas for a long time, and they're going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars this election to do so. The problem is if you just consume your average Republican media, you think we are winning. They focus on the things that are happening and they talk about how dumb the left is. But I think what you understand is that the left is energized. You do not even have to tell them to vote. I'm telling you, these guys are just showing up. And that's what I'm concerned about. The Republican Party of Texas was texting and reaching out to every Republican. The Tarrant gop, actually, our local GOP chair, grassroots guy, working really hard. The statewide elected officials, Lee's campaign, other outside groups reaching out to people. There were individuals who got 10 texts, five mailers, the addresses. People talk to them. They get invited to tele town halls with Ted Cruz and Brandon Gill and all these people, and they didn't show up to vote. And the Democrats were showing up every single day. So I think understanding just how much energy they have is really important. But yeah, I will say this. CNN is not accurate to say this means that Texas is going to shift by 30 points. But what is an indicator of is the fact that they have way more energy on their side. And if we don't wake up, we are going to lose seats we otherwise wouldn't have lost. And know that the moderate establishment forces in Texas are doing everything they can to make sure that any conservative Republican nominee does not fare well in an attempt to steer the entire party apparatus back into the middle.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Two things. Number one, they think they're going to pull a Colorado on Texas. You can see how they're already laying the issues down, et cetera. Also, 2018, as I warn, if you didn't focus on 2018 and do the work that Nancy Pelosi was doing that summer, she was promising they were going to impeach Trump and they did impeach Trump. And that's going to happen. My Fear right now, if you look at it, it's not a 2018 problem. I think you have a 2010. The great Tea Party revolt. We won 60, 63 seats. These people are putting in the work and the effort and they have the energy. What is this? What's the primary? We're down here and we're going to spend the month in Texas. What is this primary on the 3rd of March going to tell us about what our prospects are for November? Sir?

[Luke Macias]

Yeah. My dad always told me that I was really good at running with the football before I caught it when I was a receiver. And that's what often happens to the primary. So look, next month, if you're over 65, you might be getting a mail in ballot to your house if you requested one. There's about 5 or 6% of the people that vote. That way in two weeks you can go early vote and then you can go vote. Of course, this election is four weeks from Tuesday. This thing is going to be upon us before we even know it. And the reality is that there are a lot of liberal Republicans, especially in the rural areas, that are being challenged by conservative challengers who should be held accountable. Now there's a really good opportunity we have to make sure that the Republicans are on the ballot in November are actually the conservatives, the ones who are going to walk the walk after they win in November. So I think there's a massive battle going on in Texas for the next 30 days. You know this, but 17 Republican incumbents lost their primary two years ago to conservative challengers. We have been moving this state to the right consistently every single election cycle. And this election cycle should be no, no different. So there's open seats that matter. There are current champions in the legislature. Andy Hopper, David Lowe, Brian Harrison. These guys who are being challenged from their left case of the Austin swamp has recruited people to try to take them out. They are running. So everybody needs to be on the alert. And I just want to remind everybody, you know this, but if they vote and actually just post on their social media that they did vote, that they research the candidates, that they know who actually are the good conservative choices, they're going to have multiple friends reach out and not even know there's an election going on. They're not going to cast one ballot. They're going to cast two, three, four or five legally because they're actually informed. So I think there's a really good opportunity here in the next 30 days and I hope we can keep talking about that. Thank you for coming down to Texas to focus on these important elections.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Steve, Luke, one more time before I let you go, your advice and warning to the grassroots of Texas. The grassroots. As Texas goes, so goes the nation, and particularly President Trump's presidency. If we're to lose these midterms, we lose the House, it's going to be a very different deal starting in 2027. What is your advice and mourning? We got about a minute, sir.

[Luke Macias]

First, let's focus for the next 30 days on making sure that the Republican ticket that we have going forward in November is one that we can be proud of and know with confidence is going to deliver on the promises that give us the energy to go out and tell every single person we know to go vote. And then when that happens, we have to make sure that we also don't start shooting other conservatives in our own party. Now, we do have moderate forces in our party, but we have really good conservative leadership that's actually been willing to be a voice for the grassroots. Everybody's really frustrated right now. So I think we need to really hone in our frustrations on the most moderate forces in our party and try to minimize their influence, win in March, and then actually work our tails off knowing that the Democrats are really, really, really angry, really scared. And we're not. Some of that lack of fear comes from our faith in Christ, but some of that just comes from a complacency. We can't be complacent because if you wake up in November and Democrats have made serious grounds, you're going red, counties that went blue, you're going to have a House majority that has swung not just a little in Democrats favor, but a ton in Democrats favor, which gives them a lot of wiggle room to screw up the America first agenda for not just one cycle, but the next 10 years.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Luke, social media. And where do we get to your show, sir?

[Luke Macias]

On x and on YouTube. The Luke Macias show. Follow at any time. We do once a week, not every single day. Sorry, Steve, I just don't have the stamina. But we talk about what's happening in Texas less than 30 minutes. The inside of Texas Politics.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Sir, your Turk, Terrific. These radical Democrats, everything they're trying to do is to try to stop the mass deportations. Remember, they don't actually have a business model that works unless they have illegal alien invaders in this country. They have these phony refugee programs, these phony migrant programs to get these folks on the ballots. That's why with Make America Great Again legislation to have just basic voter idea in order to vote to make sure we clean up all the voter rolls of voters that are no longer eligible in certain districts and to stop all of this nonsense and stealing with mail in ballots, as you're seeing gonna see in Georgia in high relief. And that's why they're fighting the FBI and Tulsi Gabbard in Georgia right now. Everything to keep them in power is on the table and they understand that. They're highly motivated. We got it. We have to get just as motivated.

[Luke Macias]

Okay.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Wharram Texas is to do that. It's a limited run show. They'll go all the way through the 3rd of March primary. We're going to be here every day. We'll see you tomorrow morning in the war room at 10am Eastern Standard Time. See you then.

[Scott Coburn]
